Chapter 5
Chapter 5 — Heaven's Destiny
The younger sister and the crown prince were in better physical condition and couldn't even give birth, so how could they be pregnant with the second prince's child? Unless, there is a problem with her other pregnancy! The little palace maid continued to report: "The second prince's concubine asked the emperor to make your mother My Quoc's wife. She has already entered the palace, and has sent people over there, saying she is in charge of giving birth to you and the second prince concubine." I frowned, my mother entering the palace was afraid that the purpose was not simple. In the main hall, the emperor was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth and laughed: "You two daughters of the Lieu family are truly a great blessing to the royal family! I thought the younger daughter was powerful, but I didn't expect the eldest daughter to be no less good. I must reward her, I must reward her all." The older sister changed into clothes woven from silk and brocade, and also wore many precious brooches on her head. It is said that they are all rewards from the emperor. The second prince was also appointed Prince Duc, sharing a portion of the crown prince's real power. The emperor's intention was to see who could give birth to the emperor first. Father loves his son, only a prince who has his own flesh and blood can inherit the country in the future. Sister put her hand on her stomach and walked in front of me to show off.
"Sister, I'm also pregnant now, just a month later than you, so there won't be too much difference in the birth date. Luckily, thanks to your highness's grace, mother was able to come to the palace to take care of your and my birth. I really hope that day comes soon."
I stared at my sister's belly, wanting to see some clues from there. But even the royal doctor said that she was really pregnant, even if she thought about it, it couldn't be fake. Could it be that my sister... secretly had an affair? I shook my head, the second prince's temperament would not give my sister that chance. I pretended to be provocative and said: "The second prince is willing to touch you? Although you look delicate, you are still far behind the group of people the second prince raises outside." A trace of resentment flashed in the sister's eyes: "How can they have children? If he wants to have children, doesn't he still have to find me? Finally, I am pregnant." Even though I still don't fully understand what tricks my sister is playing, I still secretly took precautions from early on. When I ate and drank the clothes brought by my mother, I did not touch a single bit of it, and even deliberately invited my confidant royal physician to inspect each item one by one. Not only are those things not a problem, but they are also beneficial for pregnant women and their fetuses. I can't help but wonder, has my mother really changed her personality? When the crown prince and second prince went to the South to deal with the flood, mother sent someone to spread the word, saying she wanted to stay in your sister's palace to celebrate my birthday and my sister. After all, it was she who gave birth to me. This dynasty uses filial piety to rule the world. My mother and I haven't officially torn our faces yet. If I don't go, I'm afraid I will be known as unfilial. That's why I still took my four confidant maids with me. The incident happened very quickly, suddenly a crazy cat appeared in the palace, aggressively rushing straight towards us. I am a naturally born fetus, and after pregnancy I am more flexible than normal pregnant women. I quickly jumped to the side to avoid the collision. At this moment, the mother suddenly shouted loudly: "Where are you, it's not over, the Crown Princess and Duc Vuong Phi are both injured." I am startled, quickly give orders, close the palace gate, they are about to give birth prematurely!” I realized the situation was not good and immediately sent four of my maids to run out to report the news. To prevent any accidents, the people I arranged by my side are all palace maids who know a bit about martial arts. The prince is at the end of the world, so go find the emperor! The little palace ladies immediately ran out. It seems that mother wanted to take advantage of the prince's absence and fake the fact that I was born prematurely, in order to harm us! I pulled out a sharp dagger.
“Whoever dares to speak nonsense, I will kill that person! This palace's fetus is still peacefully in the womb, how could it be born prematurely?
At this time, my sister also revealed her true face.
“What do you mean by that, my sister and I, how could we harm the emperor in your womb? Actually, the blood in my belly is about to be uncontrollable and burst out. Your pregnancy is already eight months old. People often say that seven will live and eight will not live. Isn't that talking about us two sisters, your child dies, my child lives, I will raise your child for you to grow up."
So that's it.
