On this day, Su Tang had breakfast and took Poria to Tianxiangyuan to pay respects to the princess.
When entering the room, he heard the princess cough twice, and Su Tang asked, "What's wrong with the concubine?"
The princess shook her head and smiled, "It's okay, concubine. It was sultry last night, and there was an extra ice basin in the room, so I caught a cold."
After saying that, he warned Su Tang, "You and Ting'er must not be too cold at night."
Su Tang nodded. At this time, the fourth wife walked in and said with a smile, "The price of ice this year is only half of last year. It doesn't hurt to use ice. It's rare to have a refreshing summer."
However, Princess Nankang's life has not been so smooth this summer, and the situation is changing. This is true.
The fourth wife came to Tianxiangyuan every day to chat with the princess, and she came more frequently than Su Tang.
The fourth wife sat down and the maid served tea. As they were talking, a maid came in from outside and reported to the princess, "The second young lady still refuses to eat."
The fourth wife laughed when she heard this, "Is the second young lady on a hunger strike?"
In the past two days, although Zhao Yan had lost her appetite, she would at least eat two bites. From yesterday evening, no matter what food the big kitchen brought to her, she refused to eat a bite. If she wanted to die, she could just bang her head against the wall.
, he died immediately, there was no need to torture himself like a hunger strike.
People who really want to die will not go on a hunger strike.
How could the princess not know Zhao Yan's plan to use the child in her belly to force the Jingnan Prince's Palace and the Duke of Song's Palace to submit? "I don't know when this matter will be resolved."
If the issue is not resolved for one day, Kyoto will discuss it for one day.
It concerns the reputation of the Jingnan Palace and also involves Xie Boting and Su Tang. The princess hopes that this matter can be settled as soon as possible.
But this is not something she can hope for. Xie Rou is always the prince's daughter. He can't ignore Xie Rou's life and death. Even the prince can't deal with it. The princess doesn't even think about it. All she can do is
Ask the maid to deliver meals to Zhao Yan three times a day. As for whether Zhao Yan eats or not, that is Zhao Yan's business and has nothing to do with her.
No one mentioned Zhao Yan much. The fourth wife and the princess talked about other things. Su Tang sat there for a quarter of an hour and then left.
After leaving Tianxiangyuan, Su Tang watched Jingmo Xuan leave. Fu Ling couldn't understand and asked, "Why is the Second Young Mistress going on a hunger strike?"
Su Tang raised her lips and said with a smile, "The second young lady is a smart person. The mistake she made, if it weren't for the baby in her belly, she would have died. The baby in her belly was already six months old, and the Duke of Song Dynasty refused to give in.
I'm afraid I have the intention of delaying Xie Rou. It would be better if the second young lady is pregnant with a son, but if it is a daughter and cannot inherit the incest, she will die."
"She can only force Duke Song's government to save her while the child is still young. Furthermore, Duke Song is not very old. Although he only has one son, Duke Song's eldest son, it does not mean that he cannot have another child. If one of his concubines becomes pregnant one day,
, no one cares about the child in the second young lady’s belly.”
Fu Ling didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns behind a hunger strike. She said, "But no one is willing to let him go first, so what should we do?"
Su Tang smiled and said, "Household matters are always difficult to deal with. If this matter was a case, it would have been closed long ago."
The master and the servant walked away talking and laughing. After they left, a maid in a light pink dress came out from behind the rockery. After making sure that no one noticed her, she quickly walked to the Buddhist hall.
In the house, Princess Nankang was angry because she could not pick up her daughter. The maid quickly stepped forward and told Princess Nankang what she had overheard in the garden. Princess Nankang suddenly became enlightened. Why did she not think of suing Song Guogong?
Mansion?!
Then Dali Temple became worried.
Even drinking tea is as bitter as swallowing coptis.
Can't housework be handled behind closed doors at home? If it has to be brought to court, Dali Temple is such a small yamen, can it handle the dispute between Song Guogong and Jingnan Prince's Palace? This chapter has been completed!
