I Throw Red Yarn, Prince Charming I Can.
Chapter 48's
Yangzhou Kingdom.
“Yang majesty king, it has been many years this kingdom does not give birth to a child .. Your age is getting older and we need a successor,” said the royal advisor.
The king stroked his beard with a sigh. “Is the last concubine I married still no sign of containing?”
The adviser shook his head slowly. The king again sighed deeply, thinking of the Yangzhou bloodline that only had an 18-year-old son.
As a king having one child is certainly not enough. Although there will only be a son who becomes a king, the kingdom cannot rely on one person, because there are several royal positions that must be led by the descendants of the king directly so that the kingdom can remain victorious.
“Yang nobly .. His majesty the king!” a servant lady came to the king in a hurry and knelt before him.
“What are you doing here in such a hurry?” reprimand the counselor to the servant whom he deems impolite.
“Force noble servant, servant brings glad tidings from royal healer.”
“Say,” says King.
“Happy Majesty, concubine Ling has conceived a child,”revealed the maid with a happy look on her face.
“What?” the king rose from his seat with a face that seemed to be in disbelief, he asked the advisor to deliver him to Ling's concubine's room. The woman from Ling's residence whom the king had just married one month ago.
Arriving at the king's room in Ling's concubine, everyone who was there including the first empress saluted the king who immediately approached the concubine.
“Are you pregnant?” asked the king as if ascertaining the truth if his wife was pregnant.
Concubine Ling nodded with a smile.
“Good, this is good news... After a dozen years finally Yangzhou kingdom has a descendant again..Advisors distribute money to beggars in the streets,” the king's word while holding the hand of concubine Ling.
“Happy Majesty, you will soon get a blessing,” said the empress and her six other concubines.
After congratulating them, they disbanded to return to the harem. On the sidelines of their journey, concubines were heard whispering about concubine Ling who was pregnant.
Concubine Ling had only one month into Yangzhou palace, even when he first married the king he always rebelled and refused to marry making the king angry and keeping Ling's concubine for several days in prison, but thanks to the kindness of the empress who persuaded the king finally concubine Ling was again released and occupied the harem until finally she became a woman who obeyed the king and managed to conceive.
However, with the news of Ling's pregnancy, the other concubines became suspicious. Because they had been in the palace and served the king long enough but never got pregnant, once there is a concubine who gets pregnant the next day will have an accident that makes the womb miscarry and can not have children again.
“This is strange, could it be that concubine Ling was pregnant because—,” one of the concubines stopped her sentence as the empress rebuked them not to say anything carelessly. The empress ordered them to help her prepare a grand feast as a celebration of the arrival of a new heir.

A few days later.
After traveling a long distance for several days, the horse carriage that Han Wang Yue had boarded finally reached Yangzhou. Since their trip to Chang'an was still a long way away, they decided to rest there.
"For years, I've only seen yangzhou decorate the city this brightly" said Mu Yu, spreading his gaze across the city decorated with red ornaments.
"Right, I remember the last time a yangzhou was as festive as this ten years ago when one of the wives of the Yang king was rumored to be pregnant," Suan Ni added.
"Could yangzhou get a new prince?" mu Yu asked Suan Ni.
Suan Ni simply fell silent while observing.
"Taizi bixia, we've reached the front of the inn," Mu Yu said from under the carriage.
Wang Yue peeked out from behind the window of the carriage, nodding and telling Mu Yu to let the other soldiers rest first.
"Abao, we're here." Wang Yue shook Xing'er's shoulders who was fast asleep.
"Abao."
The girl slowly opened her eyes, wriggled her body and spread both hands until it hit Wang Yue.
"Ah my body feels all broken," Xing'er said moving her head left and right to let out a crete sound.
"Let's get off, you can continue your sleep at the inn" Han Wang Yue said.
"We've arrived?"
Wang Yue nodded her head and let Xing'er get off the carriage first. He stretched out his hands again and gave Mu Yu his bag so that the healer would take him.
"That's great," Xing'er said in amazement as she looked at Yangzhou city which was filled with many decorations in each of its hunters.
"After the Qingnan festival, now Yangzhou what is now the festival season?" xing'er chirped at Han Wang Yue.
"No, this is a celebration to welcome the future descendants of the king who will be born soon .. After a dozen years finally the king Yang can return to have offspring" Han Wang Yue explained, then invite Xing'er to enter the inn.
The girl who had originally complained of her body ache instantly turned excited with a bright smile on her face.
"I'm going to go take a look," Xing'er said about to leave and move her legs, but she hadn't taken a step by herself as Wang Yue pulled her back shirt.
Xing'er turned to Han Wang Yue who was looking at her flatly, then smiled innocently. Wang Yue returned Xing'er's smile, but in the next second Wang Yue's smile disappeared changing with a serious look.
"You're forgetting the promise before, hmm?" wang Yue's insinuation to Xing'er.
"Hehe, I'm just looking around anyway there are so many people here so I'll be fine," Xing'er said lowering Wang Yue's hand which was still clasping her clothes.
"I'll accompany you for a walk, once my business is done do you understand?"
The girl sighed and nodded her head slowly. He followed Wang Yue from behind while circulating his gaze around which was filled with many cake sellers as well as other items.
The fragrant aroma released by her chestnut as well as the osmanthus cake was so pierced into Xing'er's nose, that it made the girl's stomach sound.
The impatient Xing'er wanted to immediately take a look around Yangzhou city, while searching for information on the crystal ball looking for an opportunity to leave from Wang Yue and the two loyal subordinates who continued to watch over him.
"Taizi, it seems like our arrival has been heard by king Yang," Mu Yu said watching a yangzhou royal eunuch approaching him.
The eunuch saluted and greeted Han Wang Yue politely, then gave a letter of decree from the king for the crown prince to come to the palace to join the celebration party.
Seeing Han Wang Yue talking to someone else, this was an opportunity for Xing'er to leave. He slowly retreated from Wang Yue's side and ran after making sure that the crown prince and his two subordinates were completely off guard.
"Oh yes, Eunuch Yu introduced this Xing'er —," Wang Yue let out a long sigh when she found that her lover was not beside her.
