"You…you want me to give you a…" After being stunned, Jian Xubai laughed in the extreme anger, looked at Beautiful Lady Nuan and said in a cold voice, "When your father threatened my life in Wuhuan, I hadn't even relented to marry you. I thought you should have understood in all these years that I had no intention for you! How can you say such things today?"
The favor Beautiful Lady Nuan asked Jian Xubai to do, to help her escape her fate of being sent to the temporary palace to stay until her death after the death of Emperor Xianjia, was not to plead with Empress Dowager, Empress or Crown Prince, but, to give her a child!
After all, according to the current rules, a concubine without a child must be sent to the temporary palace and stay there for the rest of her life unless she was granted permission not to do so.
But concubines with children, no matter what status they had or whether they were favored, could stay. If their children had
When Jian Xubai returned to Crown Prince, he deliberately asked him to dismiss his subordinates. When there were only them two, he spoke alone about Beautiful Lady Nuan.Of course, he would not say that Beautiful Lady Nuan had offered herself to him in order to avoid going to the temporary palace, but said, "Beautiful Lady Nuan stopped me on the way just now, saying that she wanted me to ask Grandmother and Aunt to allow her staying for the sake of our acquaintance during our time in Wuhuan. You know that although there is nothing between her and me, otherwise Uncle would not have accepted her into the palace. After all, there should be gender sensitization. So how can I say anything like that? It is not for me to say anything about such matters."Crown Prince had been so busy these past two days with grievance for the loss of his father that his energy was inevitably low. Hearing this, he was absent-minded and said, "This is not a big deal. It is in
Song Yixiao was stunned at her words, then said, “Mother, you don’t have to be so insensitive. Of course I understand that you’re being considerate. After all, my husband has been consoling Emperor’s grandmother these days, and I need to take care of the mansion of Duke of Yan alone. While looking after Qingyue, I still need to prepare for the coming of my aunt’s family. You are doing this because you care for me. Although I regret it, how can I blame you?”She meant what she said. After all, that was the impression Madam Lu had always given her.But what Song Yixiao had said sounded like a knife in Madam Lu’s ears and she thought to herself, “Prime Minister Gu was right! As is said, familiarity breeds fondness. Although Eldest Young Lady was raised by the Song Family until she was eight years old, she already had a grudge against the Song Family because of Madam Liu. She was later brought up by Madam Wei in Prince of Hengshan’s mansion. How could sh
They had received news on the way that Jian Xubai had been visiting the Grand Empress Dowager at the palace day after day on the orders of the Emperor Duanhua, and that the mansion of Duke of Yan was presided over only by the young Duchess. She also had a daughter under the age of one, so it was obviously not easy for her to get away.So instead of sending a letter to the mansion of Duke of Yan in advance, they went straight to the door, so that Duchess wouldn't have to take the time to pick them up.Song Yixiao was surprised when the subordinate reported. She hurriedly changed her dress and went out to welcome them, "I didn't know that my aunt and uncle, my cousins and my sister-in-law were here. So I apologize for not being able to welcome you.""I was afraid you wouldn't be able to spare your time, so I didn't tell you. We come so suddenly. You must be tired out!" Jian Limiao was right. Jian Lizhi was not difficult to get along with.
Commandery Prince Zhongling was nine years old this year. It was supposed to be a good thing that the Crown Princess was finally pregnant again.But when she found out about this baby, the Crown Prince’s birth mother, Noble Consort Cui, died of an illness. There couldn’t be any big celebrations. And she had to stay a very low profile during the entire pregnancy.This time, the birth coincided with the former emperor's funeral. She returned to the imperial capital in a hurry from Cuihua Mountain. With a bumpy journey and the sudden change of temperature, despite the imperial physicians' efforts to protect the baby, she had been resting in bed since returning to the imperial capital, except for the first three days when she wept for the former emperor’s death.So when they heard that she had given birth to a little boy, they were relieved. Everyone thought that it was joy turned from extreme sorrow.No sooner had they prepared
“Brother, you also know that my Princess Consort was born by a concubine. Before she got married, she was raised in a manor. Therefore, she doesn’t know much about manners.” Prince of Liang said a little embarrassed, "But since we are married, and now we have an eldest legitimate son, naturally, we should just live a good life. Perhaps becoming a mother has changed her temperament, she has recently become more and more considerate. Every time I think back to the past, I feel regret!”Hearing this, Emperor Duanhua thought his brother was here to make amends for his sister-in-law.The Emperor did not like the things that Princess Consort of Liang did back then.But things had passed. And the one who ascended the throne was still him after all. In addition, as the son of the former emperor, Prince of Liang only married a concubine daughter. He was also affected by the Eastern Palace.So Emperor Duanhua had long forgotten such a
Jinxun looked around. Only after the other servants had withdrawn tactfully, did she say, "Isn't that so? I didn't know about it until I got the news. But since the wife of the heir of prince was there, I couldn't remind you!""That's strange. I've never even met Lord Xie. How could this have anything to do with me?" Song Yixiao could not help but be curious, "Tell me the reason!""Have you forgotten your uncle?" Jinxun whispered, "He wanted to return to the court a few years ago. But he didn’t find the job he wanted. Several years passed, and he gave up a little. He decided to return even if he was demoted to a lower rank. This time he came back to fill the vacant position of Vice President of the Imperial Academy. He is now the Governor of Lianzhou, a lower state, and the Governor of Lianzhou is a fourth-ranking official, while Vice President of the Imperial Academy is just a vice fourth-ranking official. It is two ranks lower than the Governor of
When Song Yixiao heard this, she knew that the Ji Family had been planning for Ji Wangzhu's future for a long time.It was probably because of this matter that Ji Zhou wanted to return to the court this time, even at the expense of demoting himself. Otherwise, Ji Zhou had been seeking to return to the court for a long time, and had waited for so many years, so how could he have been so anxious this year that he had brought his family back first before things were implemented?"Time really flies!" Song Yixiao thought about it and said politely, "A few years have passed in a flash. I remember when I was just married, I happened to have a casual conversation with Empress Wei from the Ji Family and mentioned her eldest brother's daughter. She was just a little girl at that time. But now she’s supposed to be at a similar age as Wangzhu. How time flies!"You knew that the Ji Family was not an imperial family. So, in the matter of the Crown Pri
Song Yixiao said, “There isn’t any. Otherwise, when Aunt was here, I wouldn’t have realized it until she implied it.”As she replied, she understood, “After all, the Crown Prince is only nine years old. And the former emperor died this year. Who would have dared to think about the Crown Prince’s marriage?”After all, everyone knew that Emperor Duanhua and the former emperor were in a good relationship. It had only been a few months since his own father died, and his grief had not yet subsided. How could he be in the mood to propose a marriage for his son? Additionally, his son was not at the right age to discuss marriage.Seeking an association with the royal family was common. But it was annoying to do it this way.“Those who are close haven’t mentioned it, but Aunt is thinking about it. There must be something inside.” Jian Xubai said, “The next time Aunt comes over, you can ask about it. If she wants our help, she needs t
