Duanhua rushed back to Princess Qingping's residence, hurried footsteps, almost trotting all the way to the Main Courtyard.
In the Main Courtyard, Princess Qingping believed the Crown Prince would certainly not agree to Duanhua. Unlike the Emperor, the Crown Prince would not indulge Duanhua's whims. If it had been the Emperor governing in the past, she and Duanhua could have gone into the palace together, crying and begging, perhaps the Emperor would have agreed out of annoyance. But now, the Crown Prince was in power. Even if he had not ascended the throne, the Emperor had allowed the Crown Prince to oversee the country, any matters had to go through the Crown Prince. He, the kind of person who prioritized state affairs, would likely not entertain Duanhua, no matter how pestering she could be.
So, even if she wasn't pregnant, she didn't want to face the Crown Prince and irritate him.
