After I traveled through the book, I became the favorite of the cold and indifferent prince.

Chapter 154 Extra 1: Zeng Yulan's Ending

After becoming the queen, Yan Qingwan's life continued to be as peaceful as ever.

Although the harem is large, Si Jinchen is the only one in the backyard, so she only needs to manage the people below her.

Because Si Jinchen was very busy, Yan Qingwan would sneak out of the palace from time to time in her spare time, and occasionally sit in the courtyard where she and Si Jinchen had been twice.

Sometimes I would also make an appointment with Zhao Shuhan.

As long as she was there, Yan Qingwan knew all the gossip in the capital.

For example, Wei Miaozhu, the daughter of Duke Wei, who is the same age as them, married Zhao Shuhan's elder brother, Zhao Chengjing, at the end of last year and is now two months pregnant.

Last year, Prince An's concubine Mu Fangzhi gave birth to a baby boy. The news filled the entire palace with joy.

Then, Prince An immediately changed his clothes and went to the palace, begging Emperor Jiazheng, who was still alive at the time, to grant Mu Fangzhi a higher position, namely the position of the principal wife.

In order to achieve this goal, Prince An knelt in front of the palace gate without hesitation, and did not get up for two whole days despite being exposed to wind, rain, sun and rain.

In the end, Emperor Jiazheng was moved by Prince An's sincerity and agreed to promote Concubine Mu to the position of principal wife.

This incident caused a great uproar in the capital and everyone knew about it.

Yan Qingwan had heard about this when he just returned.

After all, Mu Fangzhi went to pay tribute to Emperor Jiazheng as Princess An.

When Zhao Shuhan saw that Yan Qingwan was not surprised at all, he couldn't help but smile and said:

"Although this matter is well known, after Mu Fangzhi became Princess An, people from the Mu family came to visit her one after another.

They hoped to use her power to gain benefits. Unexpectedly, Mu Fangzhi ruthlessly rejected them all.

He even broke off relations with the Mu family completely, without any regard for family ties or dignity. Such behavior really shocked the people of the capital."

After hearing this, Yan Qingwan smiled softly and said, "This Princess An really lives a carefree life!"

Zhao Shuhan also laughed and said, "That's true. Even I admire her courage!"

His words revealed his admiration for Mu Fangzhi's courage and decisiveness.

Yan Qingwan reached out and took a bite of the exquisite snack on the table, and sighed, "I've only been away from the capital for half a year, but it feels like a lifetime ago after I came back."

Zhao Shuhan looked at her and smiled, "Now, you are the mother of a country, second only to the emperor and above all others. Isn't this good?

You don't know that all the unmarried girls in the families of the big officials in the capital are envious of you. They are all tempted by love and wish to fly into the harem immediately to win the favor of your husband!"

Yan Qingwan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "If it can be realized just by thinking about it, how is it possible?"

"You don't understand this, aren't all unmarried girls like this? The more they can't get something, the more they want it." Zhao Shuhan smiled evilly.

Yan Qingwan rolled his eyes and couldn't help but chuckled, "You guy, I don't know what you're thinking about all day. By the way, didn't you just say you had some other gossip? Tell me about it."

When Zhao Shuhan heard this, he lowered his voice and approached her mysteriously, saying, "It was Zeng Yulan. She died of a dystocia, leaving behind a fat boy weighing more than eight kilograms."

"Difficult labor?" Yan Qingwan was shocked when he heard this and asked, "When did this happen?"

Zhao Shuhan thought for a moment and replied, "It seems to be at the end of the twelfth lunar month last year. I heard someone say that before Zeng Yulan gave birth,

She was as fat as a ball. I wonder how many delicacies and nourishing foods she ate during her pregnancy, but she ended up with such a miserable ending.

When Yan Qingwan heard this, his brows slightly frowned and he began to ponder in his heart.

Could it be that my original speculation was correct?

Could it be that the truth was really as she expected...

Thinking of this, Yan Qingwan felt more and more that this matter was not simple.

So she immediately asked, "How did Zeng Yulan's family react to this?"

Zhao Shuhan paused for a moment and continued, "According to rumors, the Zeng Mansion only sent a housekeeper to take care of the funeral."

After she finished speaking, she shook her head gently, revealing a hint of dissatisfaction with such behavior.

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingwan couldn't help but ask, "What about Madam Zeng?"

Zhao Shuhan heard this and responded in a low voice: "Mrs. Zeng's life is also hanging by a thread. Now she can't even protect herself. How could anyone tell her about this?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingwan fell silent and was unable to speak for a long time.

Seeing her demeanor, Zhao Shuhan said, "It's all her own fault. Listen to me, that young master Wang doesn't seem to be very kind to the young son left to him by his late wife."

Yan Qingwan was shocked and blurted out: "What does such a young child know? Could he be abused?"

Zhao Shuhan shook his head repeatedly and explained: "It's not that serious, but the neighbors have been saying that

It is said that in the prince's courtyard, there is often the sound of a baby crying, and it never stops, disturbing everyone to the point of being miserable. "

Yan Qingwan remained silent again...

Since Zeng Yulan had passed away, couldn't the prince use her dowry to hire a wet nurse to take care of the child?

Yan Qingwan sighed, "This child is pitiful. He lost his mother when he was born, and his father is like this."

"Who said it wasn't?" Zhao Shuhan also sighed.

Yan Qingwan looked out the window and said, "It's getting dark, and I should go back to the palace."

Zhao Shuhan hummed, stood up, looked at her, and said with a smile: "My lady, please be careful on the road."

Yan Qingwan: "I was bored, so I took your two precious daughters to the palace to play with Qi'an."

Zhao Shuhan: "Okay."

After the words fell, the two of them left the room and walked outside.
