The Princess Of 100 Talents
Chapter #118

After the events of a few days ago, the Xiao family had always been watching the movements of the Xia family. They certainly would not let anything happen to Empress An and the baby who was inside her stomach.

Likewise with Prince Rong, in the palace he increased the number of servants and palace guards. Because he didn't want anyone to sneak into his palace.

"Your majesty, you don't have to do all that. I'm sure they will no longer dare to do the thing that would have left the Xia family devastated." Said empress An.

"Although that's the case, I'll just calm down after doing it. They really dared to do that to you."

Empress An smiled, "Have you forgotten that I've done something in this palace, your majesty?"

Prince Rong looked at Empress An.

"It seems you've forgotten it." Said Empress An again.

"What you mean is...."

Empress An nodded, "Right, even if someone had snuck into this palace. They will never be able to do anything to me and the child in my stomach."

"Was it just that, you sure you could protect yourself inside this palace, Lin'er?" Prince Rong.

"Yes, I can do it. Because I made it myself."

Prince Rong sat down beside Empress An, then clasped his hands.

"After the Xia family came here, I really felt very worried about you. As a noble family, they are really very brave to do that to you." Prince Rong.

"It was because they felt that neither the emperor's father nor the other members of the kingdom would be able to touch them, yet they did not know that what they were doing would harm themselves."

"You are right, all this time they considered this kingdom under them. So they can do whatever they want."

"Therefore, I said to the Xia family, if they still want to do that to me. Then I really won't be able to forgive them."

"I'll never let that happen."

Empress An nodded with a smile.

...----------------...

"Your Majesty, is what you say true? The Xia family dared to do that to empress An?" Princess Xiu Ying said with surprise to Prince He Xuan Li.

"Right, I heard it from the 3rd prince. Because he was there, too."

"The noble family is so outrageous, how could they give such a gift to the royal family?"

"Right now Prince Rong has added servants and bodyguards, inside his palace."

"Is it to protect Empress An?"

Prince He Xuan Li nodded, "That's a possibility."

Princess Xiu Ying was extremely unexpected if there would be such an incident inside the palace. And it was done by a noble family, which was quite reluctant in the country.

"Your highness, I want to see Empress An now." Xiu Ying's daughter's.

"Your body has just recovered, you better wait until you're much better."

"No, your honor. I want to meet with Empress An."

"Sister-in-law, you've just recovered and your energy hasn't fully returned." Said Empress An who came with prince Rong.

"An Empress." Xiu Ying's daughter's.

Empress An smiled, then walked over to Xiu Ying's daughter.

"How's sister-in-law doing, is your stomach still hurting?" Said empress An.

"I've felt a lot better."

"It's good that way."

"Empress An, are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine. Prince Rong has been taking good care of me."

"He must do that to you."

"So please, don't worry about me anymore."

"An empress, what they want to give you is an item that they do not give."

"I understand, I'll be more careful."

Princess Xiu Ying nodded, "Yes. I heard that you increased the number of servants and guards in your palace."

"That's right, just in case. And do something." Prince Rong.

"Yes, I hope so too." Said empress An.

"Right, the emperor's father planned to hold a party inside the palace. The emperor's father said, if the feast were to celebrate the pregnancy of Empress An." Prince He Xuan Li.

"Is it okay to do it at a time like this?" Xiu Ying's daughter's.

"It's okay, the emperor's father must also have a plan. Until he did it." Said empress An.

"Right, and I won't let you go alone when the party goes on." Prince Rong.

"Okay, I understand."

Princess Xiu Ying was relieved and happy, seeing that Empress An was fine.

"Does sister-in-law still eat lotus seed porridge?" Empress An said to Xiu Ying's daughter.

"Yes, I still eat it."

"Do it until tomorrow. After that, brother-in-law should drink more dried waisan soup."

"Isn't that for medicine after someone gives birth?"

"Right, but it's also very good for sister-in-law's stomach right now."

"Okay, I'll do it."

"Boil 10 dried wedge with honey and a little ginger, for 20 minutes. And drink that soup when it's warm."

"Well, I get it. I'm gonna tell my waitress, so she can get it ready."

"Yes, sister-in-law."

"I think you're the best healer. You really understand my stomach and what I have to do."

"I'm just saying that I know, and also these few days I've read more medical books, so I can figure that out."

"You're such a talented woman, even I'm so jealous of all the talent you have."

"Sister-in-law, you can't say that. You also have a lot of talent, even greater than me."

"But still, you're more talented than me."

Empress An could only smile hearing all the praise from Xiu Ying's daughter towards her.

"The day is getting darker, and this winter seems to be coming early. So instead we go back, and stay in the room." Prince Rong.

"You're right. You guys just come back, right now Empress An is pregnant, so you need to take better care of yourself."

"Okay, sister-in-law."

"I will visit you when my body is fully recovered."

"Well, sister-in-law can visit me whenever sister-in-law wants."

"Goodoo. Li, you have to take better care of Empress An."

"Well, I understand brother."

Princess Xiu Ying nodded.

Prince Rong and Empress An walked out of Xiu Ying's daughter's room, then walked towards her palace.

"I'll have the palace chef make you some food and soup." Prince Rong.

"Can I eat chicken meat with sesame seasoning, which a few days ago was buffeted by the palace chef?"

"Of course, you can ask for anything. As long as it's good for you and our son."

Empress An nodded with a smile.

They also continued to walk through the palace garden, and towards the palace of prince Rong.

"I have asked Feng Ying to go to the tailor, to make some clothes. Soon your stomach will be enlarged, and it will be difficult if we make it suddenly." Prince Rong.

"Yes, I understand. Thank you." Thank you."

"From tomorrow, you'll have to put on your coat. Because the air's getting cold."

"Okay, your honor."

Empress An smiled getting such attention from prince Rong. Even though they married without knowing how their own nature. They can still understand and protect each other.
