After the palace attendants from Cining Palace left, the Crown Princess sat down on her seat almost powerlessly. Aunt Cen quickly supported her, and hurriedly ordered the palace attendants to get ginseng soup to calm the Crown Princess down.

The Crown Princess stopped her: "I haven't gone far yet. What does it look like to be overheard? Could it be that I did something wrong and was scared out of my wits after the Queen Mother said a few words?"

Aunt Cen's eyes were red, and she lowered her head to wipe away her tears: "It's not easy for your Majesty..."

The Crown Princess waved her hands and weakly ordered: "Tell the palace ladies who were present just now to shut up and stop talking nonsense." Aunt Cen quickly responded, but she still didn't trust the Crown Princess, so she planned to give the order.

After leaving the palace, I personally went to cook a bowl of soothing soup for the Crown Princess to eat.

This bowl of soothing soup is an exclusive secret recipe that the young mistress of the Chu family personally found. After eating it, the Crown Princess felt much better and more energetic. Other soothing soups never had such a good effect. The Crown Princess just now

They must have been greatly frightened, but they were worried about the Queen Mother's opinion and did not dare to call the imperial doctor. They, the servants, had no choice but to make a bowl of soothing soup for the Crown Princess.

After Aunt Cen left, only Crown Princess Tang and Mrs. Chu Zhengfang were left in the palace. Crown Princess Tang immediately darkened her face: "What on earth is going on?! Since you said that Wei's maiden brother knew

The daughter of the Cai family did not abide by her nurturing rules, acted rudely, and just broke off the marriage, and was then framed and retaliated by the Marquis of Yunyang. Then why would the Queen Mother reprimand the Chu family and the Wei family now?! Don't tell me, the Queen Mother is

I was confused by the Yunyang Marquis Mansion and just misunderstood, but the Queen Mother is not that confused! If she hadn’t inquired clearly, she would never have openly sided with the Yunyang Marquis Mansion!"

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang was also a little bit speechless. She came to the palace today because she wanted to intercede for the Chu family. Now that the Queen Mother has intervened, it is not that easy for her to slander in front of the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess

Now that she knows the attitude of the Queen Mother, can she be easily persuaded? But if she admits her mistake, all the efforts she has spent on the Crown Princess may be in vain! How can she be willing to do this?

She could only bite the bullet and clear herself up: "Your Majesty is very aware! I don't know what's going on. Mrs. Wei has always been respectful and polite in front of me, and I don't think she is a snob. Everyone in the family is very polite."

If you say good things about her, the whole family can't be lying, right? Moreover, when Mrs. Wei cried to me about her brother's divorce, the evidence was complete and it didn't seem to be false. I don't know why the Queen Mother believed Yunyang Hou.

The house suddenly broke out...I am also in a state of confusion now!"

Seeing that she was speaking pitifully, the Crown Princess softened her expression slightly: "So, you also asked Wei to deceive you? But no matter how powerful she is, she is just a young daughter-in-law. How could she have such great ability to rob everyone in the Chu family?"

Have you been deceived? Could it be that you are deceiving me?!"

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang hurriedly said: "It's unfair, your Majesty! I may say some insincere words in front of others, but in front of your Majesty, I always say something. Your Majesty and I are not outsiders, how could I deceive you?"

Madam?! About the Wei family..." She paused and gritted her teeth, "Maybe she was a little embellished when she told me about the Cai family's daughter? But if the Cai family's daughter really has nothing to fault,

The Wei family would not be so decisive and insist on breaking off the engagement. Afterwards, the Wei family was retaliated by the Cai family, resulting in the current ending. I think the two families are probably the same. No one can be said to be innocent. They are all the same.

A ruthless character!"

The Crown Princess frowned and thought it made sense. Even if the Cai family daughter did indeed do something wrong, after the Wei family dragged the person into an old girl, they broke off the engagement in such a public way, and now they are biting the person and not letting him go.

It is unkind. And the daughter of the Cai family is not a fuel-efficient person. If she was really a docile and good-tempered person, she would not complain to the Marquis of Yunyang.

Ren's fiancé was ruthless. The Wei family must have taken advantage of the Chu family, and the Cai family's daughter also took advantage of Yunyang Hou. I don't know what the Yunyang Hou family said in front of the Queen Mother, and they were able to ask the Queen Mother to become a clan daughter.

Support. Although the Chu family has lost face now, Chu Zhengfang and his wife are equally disgraced. As for themselves behind them, let alone them.

The Crown Princess sighed: "Cousins, you should act more cautiously in the future. Don't be used by the Chu family anymore. You should think more about what they say. You can't believe everything they say."

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang hesitated for a moment, then asked instead: "Your Majesty, what the Queen Mother just said...is the culprit really referring to the Wei family? Is she...suggesting something to Your Majesty?"

The Crown Princess was stunned for a moment, then her face darkened: "What do you mean by that? Could it be that...you mean that the Queen Mother said that I was the culprit?!" She didn't believe this. The palace servant sent by the Queen Mother

It is clear that the so-called culprit has already been dealt with by the Queen Mother, and now she is just here to tell her, how could this possibly refer to her?!

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang said hesitantly: "But... if the Queen Mother just wanted to tell her about reprimanding the Chu family, why would she need to make it clear that she already knew who the culprit was? I always felt that there was something in what the palace official said.

...Maybe I'm overly concerned, but the Queen Mother has recently

If you are dissatisfied with your empress, will she feel that...the Wei family and the Chu family are all relying on your empress...to dare to go against the Cai family? But we are not really fighting against the Cai family for the sake of the Wei family.

In a few words, we just can’t bear to see the Yunyang Hou Mansion’s neglect of the empress!”

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang used this excuse when she slandered the Crown Princess before. She believed that Marquis Yunyang dared to do something cruel to the Chu family's daughter-in-law's natal family. She dismissed Wei's brother from his position and demoted Wei's father from his official position.

, and also transferred people to the southwest, all because they did not take the Chu family seriously. But the Chu family has Chu Zhengfang, Chu Zhengfang,

Behind Zhengfang was the Crown Princess. Marquis Yunyang didn't have the slightest scruple at all, and he didn't let his wife enter the palace to say hello to the Crown Princess. It was obvious that he didn't take the Crown Princess seriously. Why did his family dare to neglect the Crown Princess like this?

Isn't it just because the Crown Princess has no children, and a new person has entered the East Palace, who is likely to give birth to a grandson...

If it had been in the past, such words might not be able to fool the Crown Princess. However, now that she is in a difficult situation and she is a little depressed, she will inevitably get confused. After listening to her cousins' analysis in this way, she suddenly feels that there is some truth.

.

The Queen Mother was dissatisfied with her during this period, so how could she go out of her way to comfort her and tell her not to worry about the Chu family? The Queen Mother had not been so kind to her recently, so she must have had ulterior motives.

The words conveyed by the palace servant were probably trying to knock her down, right?

The Crown Princess's face suddenly turned pale, and she closed her eyes in pain. After a while, she said: "I ask myself that I have never done anything wrong. Why do the Queen Mother and the courtiers treat me like this? Is it just because I have no children?!"

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang's eyes were red and she choked with sobs: "My Majesty, please don't be sad. This kind of thing...can't be changed by human power? As long as your Majesty stays in the position of the Crown Princess, no matter which concubine in the East Palace gives birth to a grandson,

I have to call you mother, even if I don’t treat you as a filial mother, I don’t dare to be rude to you..."

The Crown Princess smiled bitterly: "Who can't do superficial things? Who can know what kind of heart is in private? If they are not biological, they will not be raised well after all. They have their own biological mother, how can they not think about her? And their biological mother,

You will only regard me as a stumbling block, right? I am a childless wife, who will take me seriously?"

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang hesitated for a moment and then asked carefully: "Mother, the idea I gave you last time...are you still unwilling to try it?"

"What's your idea? Leave the mother behind and keep the son?" The princess shook her head, "That's not a good idea. On the contrary, it will leave a source of trouble. No need to mention it again."

"Then... what about selecting an orphan girl from the Chu family and sending her to the East Palace to be favored?" Mrs. Chu Zhengfang approached the Crown Princess and lowered her voice, "Don't worry, Madam, since she is the one chosen by our husband and wife, she must be honest and well-behaved.

However, since her parents are both dead, we are the only ones she can rely on, and we are not close to anyone in the Chu family. Naturally, it is impossible for the uncle and I to help her to cause trouble for the mother-in-law. She is an honest person and has no external help. She wants to have a baby.

Nothing will happen. If you are willing, there is no harm in recording the child she gave birth to in your name and cutting off her future. If you pity her and can't bear to hurt her life, then give her a low-income child.

A low status would ensure her safety and wealth throughout her life, that is. She had no father or mother, and even if she was married outside, she would not be able to get into a good family. If she could enter the palace to serve His Highness the Crown Prince, she would have had a high fever in her previous life.

It smells good. My uncle and I have watched her coldly for two years, and we know her temperament very well. If we weren't very sure, we wouldn't dare to suggest this idea to my empress..."

The Crown Princess had previously rejected Mrs. Chu Zhengfang's proposal, but when the latter brought it up today, the Crown Princess was silent. She was hesitating. If she didn't want to sit back and wait for death, she had to come up with a solution.

She was nearly forty years old and in poor health. She had tried for several years and even had a doting on her own, but there was no sign of pregnancy. She was afraid that she would never be able to have another child. She wanted to inherit a child from the clan.

However, Zhao Mo was not happy with the one that His Highness the Crown Prince was interested in. The descendant of King Shu who she liked was not from a good background. The other descendants of the clan were rejected by His Highness the Crown Prince before she even got to know them. Now they are directly accepting newcomers.

Entering the backyard, there was no need to mention the matter of adoption. If this continued, she could only watch other women give birth to the prince's heirs.

If there really is a woman with a good background and good temperament, and there is no external support, we can only look up to her, be her favorite, give her a surrogate mother, give birth to His Highness the Crown Prince's heir, and then let her raise her from an early age, even from the beginning.

Just because he changed his origin on the royal jade certificate, from the son of a concubine to the son of a principal concubine, he will never know who his real biological mother is for the rest of his life. So... what is the difference from her biological mother? Even if the child grows up in the future

Knowing the truth, his biological mother has no ability to betray her. She should be merciful to him and not make the child resentful, that's all.

The princess was a little shaken.

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang carefully watched the change of expression on her face, secretly relieved, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
