I insist

Chapter 569: The Wedding

"How did you know I was pregnant? Did the news spread so quickly?"

Song Miqiu looked at Tian Yumei with great surprise and asked softly.

Tian Yumei said with a smile, "It's not that the news spread quickly, it's that the Emperor told us himself, otherwise how could we have entered the palace?"

This surprised Song Miqiu even more, but she didn't mention it. Instead, she said to Tian Yumei, "You and the child sit down first. Go see if there are any snacks."

Especially, please check if there are any snacks suitable for children.

The last two sentences were addressed to the palace maid, who, upon hearing them, obeyed and left.

Song Miqiu also found a place to sit down. She looked at Tian Yumei and continued to ask, "How did Yu Huailin tell you this himself? What did he want you to do in the palace?"

"Actually, it's nothing much. I just told you you're pregnant and wanted to ask how I could take care of you. I also mentioned my attitude towards you lately and felt it was my fault."

"He just wanted to see you. Actually, he was just too nervous. He's worried about you. Don't worry, he won't restrict you anymore. We've already talked to him about it."

Tian Yumei looked at her with a smile and said softly.

Song Miqiu lowered her head slightly: "Then why didn't he come by himself? Could it be that he didn't come because of what I said?"

"Of course not. He thought you didn't want to see him and were afraid of upsetting you, which is why you didn't come. He wasn't angry; he just felt he hadn't taken good care of you."

Tian Yumei looked at Song Miqiu and saw that her complexion was indeed not very good, but that's how it is in the early stages of pregnancy.

“I snapped at him because he’s always controlling me, and I was in a bad mood, so I snapped. I know I shouldn’t have snapped at him.”

Song Miqiu lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.

Tian Yumei said softly, "Don't worry, he won't take it to heart. He's only worried about your health right now, nothing else."

Perhaps because Tian Yumei and the children were with her, or perhaps because Yu Huailin was no longer keeping her locked up, Song Miqiu's mood improved considerably.

She went to the Imperial Garden with Tian Yumei, and her smile became much brighter, and she was no longer as depressed as before.

Yu Huailin hasn't appeared in front of Song Miqiu for the past few days, afraid that he might upset her. However, he would secretly come to her bedchamber to visit her in the middle of the night.

The news of Song Miqiu's pregnancy quickly spread throughout the capital, and the Seventh Prince naturally learned of it as well.

The seventh prince came to visit, bringing quite a few things with him.

"You came to see me, but why did you bring so much stuff? Do you think I'm missing anything?" Song Miqiu asked with a smile.

The Seventh Prince also laughed: "Now that you are the Empress, you naturally have no shortage of these things. However, these are all my heartfelt wishes. Do you expect me to take them back just because you don't need them?"

"Forget it, one more is one more, so of course I can't let you take it back."

Song Miqiu chuckled.

Looking at Song Miqiu, who seemed much brighter, the Seventh Prince suddenly remembered the news he had heard earlier: "Judging from your appearance, you seem to be in a good mood."

"I heard you kicked the Emperor out? He hasn't come over for days. What happened? Did they have a fight?"

“We didn’t argue, it’s just that he’s a stubborn person. How have you been lately? Are you alright?” Song Miqiu asked.

"That's good, but I'm getting married soon," the Seventh Prince said with a smile.

Song Miqiu looked at him in surprise. She hadn't expected that the first thing he would tell her was news of his marriage, but she hadn't heard anything about him having a woman he liked.

"You're getting married? But I haven't heard that you've been close to that woman, nor have I heard that you have a woman you're interested in. Can I know who she is?"

The Seventh Prince chuckled: "Of course, it's Lord Yu's fourth daughter, Yu Wen. However, I've heard she's an illegitimate child. You know, I don't care about status."

Yu Wen is a really nice person; marrying her would be a good choice.

When Song Miqiu heard that it was a member of the Yu family, her expression immediately turned sour. She looked at the Seventh Prince and asked, "Do you truly want to marry her?"

Or are you being threatened or coerced? If so, tell me, and I'll help you resolve this.

"How could I possibly be coerced? How could you think that?"

The Seventh Prince was somewhat surprised to hear Song Miqiu's words. He didn't understand why she would think that way. Did she think that he was being coerced?

"Have you forgotten what the Yu and Shen families said in court? They clearly wanted you dead, and yet you still wanted to marry their daughter?"

To be honest, I don't believe you weren't coerced. Besides, with your status, you'd be more than qualified to marry a legitimate daughter of a prominent family. Why would you marry an illegitimate child?

Of course, I don't look down on Yu Wen, but you clearly deserve better, don't you?

Song Miqiu looked at the Seventh Prince very seriously, hoping that he could tell her the truth.

The Seventh Prince was honestly quite pleased to hear her words, but he still said, "Don't worry, I'm doing this willingly. Actually, it's not bad."

My identity is sensitive. If, as you say, I really married a daughter of a prominent family, even if I didn't have those intentions, people would still spread rumors that I did.

It might cause you trouble, so why bother? Don't worry, I won't create trouble for myself. Yu Wen is really good; you should trust my judgment.

Since the Seventh Prince had already said so, Song Miqiu had no choice but to nod and say, "If you think it's good, then it's fine."

May you grow old together in harmony, bound by eternal love, and blessed with many children, both sons and daughters.

"Are you offering your blessings in advance? I hope you can attend my wedding," the Seventh Prince said with a smile.

Song Miqiu chuckled: "Of course I'll participate, and I'll give you a big gift too."

"aunt."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the voices of two children outside. She looked up and saw Tian Yumei, Qiu Xiaobai, and Qiu Xiaoshuang arrive.

"You've arrived! Come quickly! What would you like to eat today? Your aunt will have someone prepare it."

Song Miqiu, holding her two children, spoke with a smile.

When Tian Yumei saw the Seventh Prince, she nodded slightly to him.

The Seventh Prince nodded, then turned his gaze to Song Miqiu, who was talking to the child.

"Your Majesty, please don't give them any more food. These two children aren't eating properly anymore; they're too naughty," Tian Yumei said softly.

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu turned her gaze to the two of them and said, "Is what Mother said true? You can't stop eating; you still need to grow taller."

And from now on, you two will be the older brothers and sisters, so you need to set a good example for your younger siblings, understand?

"Auntie, I understand. I will eat my meals properly from now on, and then have some snacks. I will take good care of my younger brother and sister, so don't worry, Auntie."
