Jiang Muting never thought that she would push her friend into a trap by only defending her and ignoring a stranger, so her face turned pale with anxiety, “Then what should we do now? Shanyao, you are always smart. You must have a solution, right?”
“The good thing is that Wuying’s birthday banquet was just finished yesterday.” Song Yixiao narrowed her eyes slightly and said calmly, “Miss Gu is new to the imperial capital and is not familiar with everyone. Although I gave her the visiting card, I was unable to attend due to my pregnancy and no one introduced her. Therefore, it is reasonable that she can’t assimilate into us for the time being. As long as someone continues to invite her, even if it goes to the Empress Dowager, they can’t say we’re crowding her out!”
“Then I’ll give her the invitation when I get back!” Jiang Muting hurriedly said, “And I’ll talk to Yinlian and the others, about inviting her one by one. We’ll all imply towards the public
Song Yixiao’s words were proved to be true.A few days later, the Qiu Family’s only heir, Qiu Zhiyin, died in his room!The cause of his death was poisoning.Because Qiu Zhiyin didn’t go out recently, he had limited access to people in Qiu Family’s mansion. Therefore, Jingzhao Municipality quickly identified the murderer, Liu Wu, daughter of Liu Zhong, an old servant of the Liu Family.Liu Wu didn’t stay close to serve Qiu Zhiyin. The reason she was able to poison him was that she had known the siblings of Liu Family very well when she was a slave in Liu Family’s mansion as a child. Later, after Liu Zhong had gained his credit, his family was released from slavery and moved out of Liu Family’s mansion, but they still worked for the Liu Family.When the Liu Family suffered the misfortune, they were no longer slaves of the Liu Family, so they were not implicated too much.Soon afterwards, Qiu Zhiyin c
Although being cheated by Gu Shao, Song Yixiao was not angry. After all, Qiu Zhiyin’s death had lessened one hidden danger for her.Gu Shao did not want to have contradictions with Duke of Yan’s mansion, and Song Yixiao did not want to offend him.Although the Gu Family of Hongzhou revealed the image of no prospective successor, Gu Shao was not dead yet.After she removed herself from the matter, she didn’t care anymore. The day after Xie Yiren and her husband came to give New Year’s greetings, it was the birth anniversary of Empress Su.In previous years, this day was a simple family feast, but this year Emperor Xianjia had said that he must hold a grand feast.He did this to do the credit to empress. So that after the empress’s own son was adopted, everyone would not underestimate the master of the Intermediate Palace.In the grand Qianqiu Festival, Song Yixiao could only wait for her husband to return to tell her something. She was going to give birth next month, and at this moment,
The daughter gave birth to a baby, so the mother must come to visit.It was just a little awkward for the birth mother and stepmother to meet each other. However, in Song Yixiao’s opinion, only Madam Lu was embarrassed, and Wei Mengying was completely at ease. Wei Mengying asked after Madam Lu’s three children, “I heard that the twins were one year old a few days ago? The second young lady is too young, and you must be very busy. But children grow up fast, so it will be better when they are older.”Compared with Wei Mengying, Madam Lu was an honest person.She replied, “I’m fine. my mother-in-law understands and sympathizes with me so she raises Yijiao herself. Yibao is already four years old and the maids can take care of her, so she doesn’t need my constant attention. I am not very busy to take care of Yiyao.”“Although Yijiao is almost two years old, she doesn’t know how to speak yet?” Wei Mengying immediately showed an o
Song Yixiao looked at her for a long time before saying word by word,”It is impossible.”Seeing Wei Mengying’s face changed, as if she was about to threaten again, Song Yixiao already raised her hand and pointed to the door, “Do you want to threaten me with death? You can go ahead. I want to see if you dare to give up the honor of being the princess consort now.”“How would I want to die with you?” Wei Mengying stopped sobbing, she raised her eyebrow and said unhappily, “But this matter you only need to slightly hint with Gu Shao. Gu Shao will help Duke of Yan’s mansion. She is his granddaughter, even if a concubine’s daughter, she is not worried about getting married. I don’t hope such a small help would let you and I have conflict.”She also knew that there was already a gap between them, so she spoke of her children, “Guanyun and their siblings will grow up in the future, if they know that the two of us do not get along well, won’t th
Jian Xubai returned in the evening and heard that her daughter’s name had been given by the Empress Dowager. And she also sent a decree, which let Jian Xubai dumbfounding. He said, “Mother must have done it on purpose. She clearly knew when we named the child before.”He added, “Yesterday Mother did not say anything about the name. I thought she was too happy to forget it. It turns out she had her own plans.”The intention, naturally, was to let the Empress Dowager come up with the baby’s name.But both Grand Princess Jinguo and the Empress Dowager were well-intentioned. Even though the couple could not name their first child, they said a few complain words and let it go.Jian Xubai said to his wife, “I said that we should celebrate your birthday. You said it was not necessary. As a result, I did comply with you, but God in the end gave us a big gift.”He refereed that Song Yixiao giving birth to a daughter on h
Wei Mengying looked at her daughter approvingly and said, “My daughter is really smart. This person is your cousin. She is a girl from your grandmother’s maiden family. Her name is Lianxiu. As her name, she is very cute. The rarest thing is that she has a gentle and virtuous nature, so I think she will make a good wife.”“The Cao Family is similar to the Wei Family in that they have only produced six or seven ranked officials, which is a little insignificant in the imperial capital.” Song Yixiao said suspiciously, “The one that the Prince wanted to introduce to Master Guanqun was the granddaughter of the world’s most famous chancellor and current Prime Minister. There is such a big gap now, and it worked. Mother, you did a good job.”“It’s just a matter of talking about Lu Guanqun’s concubine’s child.” Wei Mengying leisurely said, “Lu Guanqun certainly does not have a legitimate son with his first wife, but there are two male descendants from the con
“Her Highness, What should we do now?” The palace maid sent the imperial physician off and asked Princess Changxing worriedly, “I didn’t expect that you are discomfortable because you are pregnant. If I had known it earlier, I would not have invited the imperial physician to come. But now the news is bound to spread...”“Just let it be.” Princess Changxing’s face was gloomy. She was silent for a moment then said coldly and firmly, “The imperial physician just said I just got pregnant. I’ve been worried and angry these days, which is not good for me and the fetus, so I must take good care of myself.”She sneered and said, “But there is a saying that habit cures habit. How can I be cured of my heart disease when the situation in the mansion is like this?”The old palace maid knew the meaning of her words and there was a gleam of pity in her eyes. After thinking about it, she suggested, “How about following the example of Grand Princess Jin
In fact, Song Yixiao was not the only one who was considering this issue. In the Marquis Boling’s mansion, after sitting with his wife Jiang Muting for a while after noon, Yuan Xuepei excused himself to help Jian Xubai with some official business and then went to the study alone.After arriving at the study, he ordered the study attendant to retreat after grinding the ink. He called Yuan Zhan to come to his study and asked, “How are things going?”“Everything is ready.” Yuan Zhan said, “It’s just that there are many people in the imperial capital. I think it’s already the fifth lunar month so we might wait a little longer. When we go to Cuihua Mountain for summer vacation, the mountain is large and less crowded, so it’s convenient to do it instead.”Yuan Xuepei nodded and said, “I’ve waited a whole year, I can wait a little longer. However, it is imperative that we do it perfectly. After all, she is Song Yixiao’s mother, and I don’t want
