With the support of the caring maid, Shen Wanyao sat down on the carved round stool beside her. She gently touched her belly with one hand. I glanced sideways and felt convinced. Don't look at the unwillingness of the third prince during the marriage. This matter However, he did not slack off at all, and soon the whole crystallization came out, and it happened to be a good time when the prince passed away and a new heir was not established. The most important thing of the ancients was to carry on the family line and have a successor. If it were not for his mother Mu Guifei's incident, the position of the prince would have been lost. It has to be him.
However, this is not always the case. Let alone outsiders, even I, a member of the royal family, cannot explain the royal affairs clearly. Many things are not really black and white. They are just words from the emperor. So if the emperor has no intention, then that’s it. If he really liked the third prince, just one slander about Concubine Mu could turn things around.
I was pregnant with a child in my previous life, so I naturally knew that pregnancy would only start to appear after three months of pregnancy. Her gesture now is nothing more than a sign to me, and I naturally wanted to follow her wishes and compliment her: "Look, Yi Jinyue, Is the emperor's sister-in-law pregnant? How long has it been? Has the imperial doctor seen her? She has been busy planting beans these days, and the people below are also very tight-lipped, and they did not let me get any information, otherwise I would be considered ill. If you can’t get down, you have to find someone to carry it and go there to congratulate you.”
"I told you not to call me the emperor's sister-in-law, but you refused to listen. If my eldest brother finds out later, he will definitely blame me." Shen Wanyao scolded, then stroked her belly and smiled sweetly: "Qian'er did it. The old doctor from Taiyuan Hospital came to check my pulse and prescribed a lot of prescriptions to protect the fetus and soothe the nerves. It was only a month ago, and according to me, you shouldn’t be so nervous. Even my father was alarmed, and he had three kisses at night. Visit from the Prince’s Mansion.”
"Being an heir is not a trivial matter, so you should be cautious. What's more, among all the princes, only the prince's elder brother has a beloved daughter. If the emperor's sister-in-law can win a boy at one fell swoop, it will be my eldest grandson of the Yuechen Kingdom, the imperial court's judge. I wouldn’t be relieved if I didn’t come in person.” After saying this, I showed a flattered look on my face, and said in horror: “Oh, the emperor’s sister-in-law came to visit Jinyue while pregnant, and Jinyue is really scared.”
Shen Wanyao stood up, and the palace maid standing beside her immediately stepped forward to help her. She slowly moved to my bedside, sat down on the edge of the couch, held my hand and said, "What is there to be afraid of, if it weren't for you here?" , I’m afraid we, too, have to follow His Highness the Crown Prince, no matter how great your reputation is, you can still deserve it.”
Although the emperor gave me a promise, he did not issue a formal edict. I dare not make any judgments about whether there will be any changes. Therefore, I could not tell her my purpose in smallpox, so I just made nonsense: "Jinyue's parents have been there since she was a child." Both of us died, so the emperor and the empress raised me in the palace. All the princes also took great care of me. Naturally, I couldn’t stand by and watch this disaster in the palace. This is what I should do. I don’t dare to take credit. you flatter me."
Shen Wanyao smiled and no longer struggled with this issue. The two chatted for a while about trivial matters such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, and then she stood up and left. Before leaving, she invited with a smile: "The Prince's Mansion was built years ago. The Ministry of Rites I chose an auspicious day and I was supposed to move in at the end of last month. Unexpectedly, two things happened in a row and it was delayed. Now that the pox has been inoculated and the coffin of His Highness the Crown Prince has been buried, the Ministry of Rites has chosen a date again. The time is scheduled to be on the eighth day of the next month, and you will be able to enjoy it then."
On the day of the emperor's funeral, according to the rules, no marriages are allowed in the capital for half a year, and other related entertainment activities must also be stopped. The emperor actually instructed the Ministry of Rites to re-select an auspicious day for the third prince to move to his new house. Before this, he had ignored his son. If It is impossible to say that he is favored suddenly, but it seems a bit like trying to outdo the short ones, and he has no choice but to do it. After all, the other princes are really in disgrace.
Because I will definitely not marry Shen Nanfeng, and whether or not I appreciate the honor is destined to offend the Shen family. If the third prince really succeeds to the throne, then Shen Wanyao will be the mother of a country...
A crown prince who has just entered the court vs. the emperor
A princess who has been deprived of her real power vs. the queen
No matter how you look at it, it’s all a complete defeat!
She didn't want to die, so besides giving up everything and running away, she would either try her best to prevent the third prince from ascending to the throne, or try to alienate the emperor and empress, hoping that Shen Wanyao would do something to the Cheng family and the Murong family. The third prince can block it during the black hand.
Preventing the third prince from ascending to the throne... His parents died early, and the military talisman was handed over by Qian Hu a while ago. How can I prevent him from ascending to the throne? Do I go to the emperor to cry, make trouble, and hang himself?
Forget it, it would be easier to kill me.
To alienate the emperor and the empress... Men in ancient times were much more reliable than modern men. Even if they were extravagant, they would still have great respect for the official wife of the matchmaker who would be buried with him after his death. They were definitely not like those in many soap operas who doted on concubines and destroyed their wives. She is going down to the palace, so it’s useless even if I go. She is the matchmaker given by the emperor to marry her, and she was carried into the palace in eight sedans. Shen Wanyao can’t be kicked out of the throne. To say the least, it’s a fluke. If I can kick her out, wouldn't I become the queen? I want to marry Murong Qingfeng, and I don't want to be the queen at all. Otherwise, I would just go with the flow at Ci'an Temple, so why wait until now?
I can only hope that I can negotiate terms with His Highness the Third Highness. The premise is that I have enough chips and the right time. I can't think of it right now. I am already ill. I have to deal with Shen Wanyao for half an hour, and then I think about this. After a while, my head, which was already dizzy, started to hurt even more. I simply ignored everything and recovered my health first before doing anything else.
You must know that your body is the most important capital. If the capital is gone, no business will be successful.
I had a good night's sleep. When I woke up, it was already past dinner time. Fortunately, there was a small kitchen in Dangui Hall. I was not afraid even if there was nothing in the imperial dining room, I was not afraid. When the maids saw me waking up, half of them came over to serve me. I changed my clothes and got up, and half of the time I went to the small kitchen to serve food. Although it was not a rich meal, it was light and delicious for the patients. I drank a large bowl of meat porridge and asked someone to share another bowl.
Before the meal was finished in this room, Murong Qingfeng came in from the other side. Seeing me eating, he just smiled and said hello to me, turned around and left the inner room, and went to sit in the flower hall outside, with a face full of excitement. I could see Qing clearly, and knowing that he had something to say to me, I quickly finished the porridge in my hand and hurried to the flower hall.
When he saw me coming out, he stood up and came over to greet me, grabbed my shoulders, and said happily: "Great, the emperor finally issued an imperial edict to terminate your marriage to Shen Nanfeng!"
"Ah?" I was startled for a moment, and a smile appeared on my cheeks, but I was very upset in my heart. Damn the emperor, just don't do it if you don't want to, but now you have to fulfill your promise. This is great. , Shen Wanyao has enough time to plan how to kill our two families.
