"What does Your Highness want to say?"

"A woman who has not left the palace is still pregnant for six months. If the news spreads, she will not be able to avoid the corruption of her family, right? You can cover your face, block your ears, not see or listen, and live your little life quietly.

But have you ever thought about your family?"

Ying Ning said nothing.

Gu Changyuan added: "Your second brother Li Diyao has not married yet. Which good family is willing to marry their daughter to such a family? There are also your two sisters. They are concubines and have a difficult marriage. If so,

I have a sister who gave birth to a child out of wedlock and ruined the family tradition. May I ask, which decent man would be willing to marry them?"

Yingning was silent.

These are very practical things that no one can change.

In Daxuan Kingdom, reputation is so important to a woman.

In those families with strict family traditions, if a daughter like her appeared, it would be common for the family to use lynching to kill someone.

Ying Ning was able to raise her baby here comfortably, not because this era was so tolerant of women, but entirely because she had a pair of parents who doted on their daughter without any boundaries.

However, she felt comfortable.

What about the brothers and sisters at home?

Ying Ning frowned: "Is Your Highness threatening me? I don't want to affect my family, so I'm here."

"Are you going to never go back for the rest of your life?"

"I have no idea."

"If you go back, how will you explain this child?" Gu Changyuan asked, "After all, you will still have to leave this child behind."

"Even if I live in the country all my life, I will never leave my child behind!" Ying Ning's voice became colder, with a hint of imperceptible resentment.

Gu Changyuan was startled for a moment, then said: "You value this child so much that you insist on giving birth to him and raising him by yourself. It really makes me curious, who is that man?"

"If I love my children, do I have to have a relationship with a man?" Ying Ning sneered, "Men are outsiders, and the children are my own. Why shouldn't I?"

Gu Changyuan was choked, and after a while, he said, "I can place this child for you."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness! I just want to stay in the country and live my life. I think it's pretty good."

At this point, there really is nothing more to say.

Gu Changyuan really wanted to marry her, but she refused and he couldn't force her.

"I see."

He stood up and walked outside.

"Your Highness, Sixth Highness." Ying Ning suddenly called him.

Gu Changyuan stamped his feet, but did not look back.

Yingning said: "Can you keep it a secret for me, about my pregnancy?"

"It seems I have no reason to help you."

"Is this a reason for you to make friends with officials in private?" Ying Ning said slowly, word by word.

"What did you say?"

Gu Changyuan turned around and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Ying Ning lowered her eyes and said calmly: "You took advantage of the hunting opportunity to come here to get to know Lu Qinghan, and you couldn't come here just to have a drink with him and recite poetry. Even if I believe it, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Lord and the Crown Prince to be convinced by you.

.”

Getting to know Lu Qinghan itself is not a big deal.

But things have to look deeper.

When he was young, Lu Qinghan had a fellow villager and a mentor. Someone must have introduced him to Gu Changyuan before he could know him.

To put this matter into perspective, Lu Qinghan represents the civil service group. What does it mean for a prince to deliberately win over and make friends with civil servants?

The emperor is most taboo about princes making friends with officials in private, not even princes.

What's more, he is a prince.

If this matter was written down in a book by someone who was interested and sent to the emperor, and he copied it, Gu Changyuan would not be able to eat it and would just walk around.
