The maid answered, “Prince of Liang heard from the imperial physician that Princess Consort of Liang should exercise properly since she was about to give birth, so he took time to take a walk with her in the garden these two days. However, His Highness accidentally twisted his ankle and knocked Her Highness down.”
Hearing this, Song Yixiao breathed a sigh of relief. Prince of Liang made a scene because his official wife was a concubine’s daughter before his marriage, and it was said that he had a lot of discord with Princess Consort of Liang after they got married, but since Princess Consort of Liang was pregnant, he had changed his attitude, cared for and spoiled her wife in every way. Since it was Prince of Liang who knocked down his wife and caused her early delivery, it should be an accident.
However, whether it was an accident or not, it was unpredictable whether delivery women could survive the delivery at such a time. Moreover, Song Yixiao cou
After thinking for a while, Song Yixiao asked her husband and knew that Gu Shao was in good health and not terminal ill at all, so she put the matter behind. Anyway, Song Yuan was the one who compromised. No matter what the inside story was, it was probably the Song Family that was in trouble, which had nothing to do with Jian Xubai and her.In that case, why should she bother about that?Time passed quickly and soon it was the ninth day of the tenth lunar month, Zhuo Ping’an’s birthday. In order to show their respect to Commandery Princess Qingjiang and her son, Jian Xubai specially asked for leave and accompanied his wife to congratulate them.Princess Changxing was also present, but she came alone. As soon as she entered the door, she apologized on behalf of Jian Yiyou. Jian Yiyou recently caught a cold and was afraid of giving others his cold, so he had to ask her to come alone to celebrate his nephew’s birthday.Princes
The crown princess looked at the maids around and said after they all withdrew, “I got pregnant shortly after my mother-in-law’s death. Although it’s happy news, it was also embarrassing.”“There was already a justifiable explanation about getting pregnant when observing mourning for parents in the Wei Dynasty.” Song Yixiao was confused, “Did some people talk nonsense and make you worry?”Song Yixiao thought it should be impossible. The crown prince had just won in the fight for the title of heir to the throne. Even the Empress Dowager didn’t dare to upset them, let alone others.Noble Consort Cui was just dead and the crown princess got pregnant while she and the crown prince were observing mourning for Noble Consort Cui. In those years, the time when you got pregnant didn’t matter and you would be considered as an unfilial person as long as you gave birth to the child when you were observing mourning for your parents. If this rule stil
After all, they had been married for many years. Even if they didn’t get along very well in the past, the crown prince could notice that the crown princess was concealing her panic and worry. He raised his eyebrow and joked with a smile, “What if I say I want your sister to be doubly related to us?”“I’ll accept any decisions you make,” The crown princess’s smile remained unchanged, but there was a trace of reluctance in her expression. She said, “However, it hasn’t been long since Mother passed away. If you marry her now, I’m afraid it would affect your reputation...”“I’m just kidding!” The crown prince wanted to tease his wife, but then he remembered that she was pregnant and couldn’t be upset. Hearing this, he hurriedly said, “In fact, Grandmother summoned me today and talked about one thing with me!”In fact, the crown princess also felt that her husband would not be interested in her sister and probably faked his disappointment and
Emperor Xianjia didn’t know that the Empress Dowager had talked about Wei Yinlian’s marriage with the crown prince at this time, so after thinking for a while, he agreed. After all, Grand Princess Daiguo was his sister. His days were numbered and he didn’t want to reject Grand Princess Daiguo’s requests again and again. If he betrothed the crown princess’s sister to Grand Princess Daiguo’s nephew, he would fulfill his sister’s wish and could hint that he still cared about the Ji Family and those who wanted to deal with the Ji Family when the Ji Family was down should think twice before they did that.After Grand Princess Daiguo left, he went to pay respects to the Empress Dowager. After talking for a while, the Empress Dowager said, “I just told the crown prince that I wanted Qiu Zhiyin to marry his wife’s sister. I don’t know whether the crown princess would agree or not.”Emperor Xianjia was surprised, “I remember that there is only one girl unmarr
The tenth lunar month soon passed. On the 21st day of the tenth lunar month, Song Yixiao naturally didn’t go to the Song Family to attend Elder Lady Pang’s birthday banquet. Nor did Jian Xubai. They only sent an ordinary gift to her. The Song Family probably knew their attitude and didn’t send anyone to say anything like they missed Song Yixiao anymore.In the early eleventh lunar month, the marriages of Gu Tongxu and Qiu Zhiyin, and Wei Yinlian and Ji Mingfei finally settled and were made public.“His Majesty is truly benevolent.” Although Emperor Xianjia was suppressing the followers of Prince of Wei and Prince of Zhao these days, his intention of showing mercy to them was already very obvious. After these two marriages were made public, all people at the imperial court and the commonalty were not very surprised. They gasped at the emperor’s kindness with admiration like that and then left this matter behind.After all, the eighth day
The next day was the Shengshou Festival. The Empress Dowager was not in the mood to celebrate her birthday this year, but Emperor Xianjia persuaded her privately, “Mother, I don’t have much time to fulfill my filial duty anymore. Please give me the chance and let me celebrate your birthday for the last time!”Hearing this, the Empress Dowager was very sad. Although she agreed to celebrate her birthday as usual, she disguised her sorrow beneath a cheerful expression when she appeared that day.The others didn’t know the reason, but it was not surprising for them. The Empress Dowager’s beloved youngest daughter was Grand Princess Daiguo, but her best days would be soon behind her. How could the Empress Dowager not be sad?However, on the day of the Shengshou Festival, the Empress Dowager specially summoned Wei Yinlian and Su Shaoling, the future daughters-in-law of the Ji Family, and inquired after their well-being for a long time and clea
Gu Shao didn’t believe Song Yixiao, and Song Yixiao actually didn’t believe him, either, even though Song Yixiao and Gu Tongxu talked happily with each other that day and even gave her an invitation sent by Grand Princess Jinguo two days ago when they were happiest.The invitation was about Nie Wuying’s birthday.Nie Wuying’s origin was compromising, and she didn’t like to be high-profile and even a little self-abased. Therefore, her birthday was only celebrated by her family in previous years.This year, it was different. She had been engaged to Prince of Su. Even if Prince of Su might not be resident in the imperial capital, she still needed to manage her connections. Therefore, Grand Princess Jinguo personally asked for a lively and grand birthday celebration for her youngest daughter.Given that Nie Wuying had only a few friends, Grand Princess Jinguo gave some invitations that still needed to be filled to her daughters-
Song Yixiao acted unperturbed by the news that Gu Tongxu had gone to live in Song Family’s mansion.In fact, she had nothing to be excited with. While Liu Zhijin stilled lived in the Song Family’s mansion! How could she be angry with such a family?So she only smiled lightly and said, “Yibao, Yijiao and Yiyao are all still young, and my grandmother is lonely, so it would be nice to bring Miss Gu over.”Jiang Muting naturally did not believe this argument and said, “I guess Elder Lady Pang wanted to find out what she had talked with you when she visited you before, right? Since Miss Gu is staying with the Song Family, she is obviously close to them, so why did she come to you first?”Song Yixiao said carelessly, “She took a visiting card from me, an invitation for Wuying’s birthyday next month.”“I see!” Jiang Muting heard this and immediately became indignant, saying, “Although Prime Minister Gu and your materna
