The prince didn't want Yue'er to be wronged, so he wouldn't be able to visit his parents' family too many times after getting married. This time, he originally planned to take Yue'er to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion for one night and come back early the next morning. Just because on the first day of the wedding,
Concubine Mu lost her temper at Yue'er because of a misunderstanding. The Crown Prince was worried that Concubine Mu would be angry with Yue'er because she came back late, so he greeted Concubine Mu one day in advance. Because Concubine Mu did not object, he felt that Concubine Mu was very reasonable.
It's just that Yue'er was worried about the rules and he didn't want to worry Yue'er, so he agreed to come back together.
The butler's words made the prince a little confused. The mother-in-law clearly had no objection. She knew that she and Yue'er would be back late tonight, so why did she do this? He held Yue'er's hand along the way and could clearly feel that Yue'er was a little nervous. He
I didn't want to worry Yue'er, so I had to comfort Yue'er while walking.
The two came to the main courtyard soon, and saw Princess Rong sitting there with a cold face, drinking tea. After the two entered the house, they said hello to Princess Rong. However, Princess Rong was drinking tea by herself.
, seemed to ignore the two of them's plans.
The prince felt angry when he saw this. He had already greeted his mother and concubine before, and she didn't object. Why did he have to look down on Yue'er again?
When the prince saw his mother and concubine drinking tea by themselves and not talking to them, he was worried that Yue'er was exhausted, so he took Yue'er to sit aside and said to his mother and concubine: "My concubine, I have said hello to you before.
, I went back to my parents' house with Yue'er today, and I might come back later. But as soon as I came in, the housekeeper said that you have something to do and come to me urgently. Did something happen?"
After hearing what the Crown Prince said, Princess Rong slowly put down the tea cup, glanced at Yue'er, and then said to the Crown Prince: "There's nothing urgent. I feel a little bored today. I just want to talk to Yue'er. I know today is
On the day when Yue'er returns home, I just thought you would have come back long ago."
After hearing what Princess Rong said, the prince continued: "I had lunch at the Prime Minister's Mansion and was in a hurry to come back. I was delayed playing chess with my father-in-law. Originally, I planned to stay at the Prime Minister's Mansion for one night and return tomorrow morning.
Come back with Yue'er. If the concubine feels bored, then we can stay here to spend more time with the concubine."
"You are a good boy, how could the mother-in-law not know that? Originally, the mother-in-law could also talk to your little sister, but unfortunately she went to accompany the old lady, and I am the only one left in the house." Princess Rong said.
Yue'er knew that the old lady mentioned by Princess Rong was probably Prince Rong's biological mother, the Concubine Xian. From what Princess Rong said, the old lady did not live in Prince Rong's mansion.
"My little sister went to disturb the old lady again?" the prince asked.
"If you are free, go and visit her. She has been thinking about you a lot recently. In addition, you are already married, so you should take your daughter-in-law over to pay her respects to the old lady." Princess Rong said.
"My son has remembered what my mother and concubine said, and I will take Yue'er over to pay my respects to the old lady early tomorrow morning," the prince said.
"Well, as long as you are willing. When you were young, the old lady loved you very much." Princess Rong said.
"I know." The prince said.
"It's all my fault. I forgot that Yue'er was pregnant for a moment. You can go back and rest early. There is no need to come here specially for dinner." Princess Rong said.
"Yes, concubine." The prince said.
"Concubine, how about we have a meal together before going back? Yue'er also wants to talk to Concubine more," Yue'er said.
"Look at how nervous Ying'er is about you and exhausting you. Ying'er will blame me." Princess Rong said.
"It doesn't matter, mother and concubine, and daughter-in-law. Prince, let's stay together and have a meal with mother and concubine before going back?" Yue'er said.
"You make the decision," the prince said.
"The Crown Princess is gentle, virtuous, and a reasonable woman. It's no wonder that Ying'er won't marry you. Yue'er, I was worried about the Crown Prince's marriage before, but the Crown Prince won't marry you. I also swore that I would not marry you.
Even if I can't marry you in this life, I will wait until you get married before marrying and having children. Fortunately, you are willing to agree to marry the crown prince. If you marry someone else's crown prince, you will definitely be heartbroken." Princess Rong said.
The prince felt a little embarrassed and said, "Mother and concubine, why are you talking about these things?"
"You are so affectionate for Yue'er, how can you not let Yue'er know?" Princess Rong said.
"Thank you, mother-in-law, for telling your daughter-in-law this.
, Otherwise Yue'er will never know that the Crown Prince treats Yue'er with such care." Yue'er said.
After hearing what Princess Rong said, Yue'er was naturally very moved. She knew that the Crown Prince liked her very much, but she didn't expect that the Crown Prince would be so infatuated. I think Princess Rong was so worried about the Crown Prince, but fortunately she still married the Crown Prince in the end.
The couple stayed in the main courtyard to have dinner with Princess Rong before returning to their own courtyard.
After Yue'er became pregnant, her body has been uncomfortable. After a day of tossing, the prince was naturally very worried.
"Yue'er, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" the prince asked.
"My appetite has improved a lot recently, and I don't feel any discomfort in my body. Don't worry, I won't hold back and say anything if I feel uncomfortable," Yue'er said.
"Then I'll feel relieved," the prince said.
When we had dinner just now, King Rong did not come back, but the Crown Prince and Princess Rong seemed to have gotten used to it and had no intention of waiting for King Rong to come back.
Yue'er was very curious and asked: "Usually during dinner, don't you have to wait for your father to eat with you?"
The prince said: "My father may have dinner at Concubine Xin's place today. Concubine Xin is already used to it."
"So that's it." Yue'er said.
The prince hurriedly said: "Yue'er, don't worry, I won't marry another woman and come back to cause trouble for you. Concubine Xin is the person close to the old lady, and even the mother-in-law must respect her."
"I know that the prince loves me very much. I just feel sorry for my mother and concubine. But who the old lady is, my mother and concubine are always cautious when mentioning her." Yue'er said.
"Early tomorrow morning, I will take you to greet the old lady and have breakfast together. Logically speaking, I should take you there earlier. But the old lady is too strict, and I am worried that she will scare you." The prince explained.
.
The Crown Prince only promised Yue'er to take her with him to greet the old lady tomorrow morning, and did not explain who the old lady was. In fact, even if the Crown Prince didn't say it, Yue'er probably knew who this lady was. Therefore, Yue'er also
No further questions were asked.
"Okay, everything will be subject to the prince's arrangement." Yue'er said.
Because the prince promised Yue'er to go with him to pay his respects to the old lady, the two of them got up early the next morning.
Although Prince Rong's Mansion is not big, there are many courtyards. The old lady has a distinguished status, so naturally she will not be arranged in an ordinary courtyard. Yue'er was wondering which courtyard the old lady lived in, but the prince led her through the back garden to the side courtyard.
As they walked, Yue'er was a little puzzled. Could it be that the old lady was arranged in the most remote courtyard? So, Yue'er asked: "Your Majesty, which courtyard does the old lady live in?"
"You'll know in a moment," the prince said.
"This place is getting more and more remote. Could it be that the old lady likes peace and quiet and deliberately chose such a remote courtyard?" Yue'er said.
The prince smiled and said: "The old lady does like to be quiet. My father took the old lady to Prince Rong's Mansion and arranged the old lady in Qixiang Courtyard. Unfortunately, the old lady didn't like the excitement. In order to take care of her more conveniently, my father put her there."
I bought the house next to Prince Rong's Mansion and placed the old lady in the house next to it. In order to facilitate access, the wall was opened, making it easier to visit the old lady."
"It turns out that the old lady lives in the house next door." Yue'er said.
In order to make it easier to enter and exit, King Rong specially built a door on this wall. After the prince and Yue'er entered the house, they asked the maid to go in and report that he had taken his new daughter-in-law to pay greetings to the old lady. How could the maid dare to neglect and go in immediately?
Report to the old lady...
The old lady was preparing to have a meal when she heard the prince and his concubine coming to greet her. She smiled and asked the maid to invite them in quickly.
The prince pulled Yue'er into the house. The prince said respectfully: "Old madam, Ying'er brought her new daughter-in-law here to say hello to you."
Yue'er then said, "Yue'er would like to say hello to the old lady."
"Well, raise your head and let me take a look." the old lady said.
Yue'er obediently raised her head. When the old lady looked at Yue'er up and down, Yue'er also looked at the old lady.
The old lady was wearing ordinary clothes. Although she was dressed very ordinary, she was born with nobility.
And majesty but there is no way to hide it.
Yue'er knew that her guess was not wrong, this old lady should be Concubine Xian.
When the old lady saw Yue'er for the first time, she was very satisfied with Yue'er and said, "Ying'er, I am very satisfied with you as my wife."
"Old madam, Ying'er is also very satisfied." The prince said.
"Jianzui, please sit down quickly and have breakfast together before going back." The old lady said.
"Yes, old lady." The prince said.
"I heard that the prime minister's daughter was a queen of the country, and it turned out to be true when I saw her today," the old lady said.
"Old Madam, that's a compliment." Yue'er said.
At this time, breakfast had been prepared. The prince looked around and said, "Old madam, the concubine said that Xiao'er is here, why can't she be seen?"
"Xiao'er is worried that I will feel bored, so I have been staying here these few days. Xiaoer received a letter from the villa early this morning, and she must be asked to go to the villa. I asked her to go back and prepare well, so there is no need to come over these few days.
Already." The old lady said.
"Old madam, if you like it, Yue'er and I can move here to accompany you," the prince said.
"You are newly married now, how can I ask you to come over and accompany me, an old woman?" the old lady said.
"Old madam, we can come over often to say hello to you, and we can also have meals with you on weekdays. If you feel bored, Yue'er can also come over and talk to you," Yue'er said.
In fact, without the prince's instructions, Yue'er also wanted to come over and talk to the old lady when she had nothing to do. Living in the house was indeed a hundred times better than living in the cold palace. Although she left the cold palace, she still couldn't leave the house. Yue'er knew that
, the old lady must hope someone can talk to him.
"The imperial concubine is very sensible, and I am very pleased. Then it's settled, you can talk to me whenever you are free," the old lady said.
"It seems that the old lady likes Yue'er very much." The prince said.
"I naturally like Yue'er, a good girl like me. By the way, your mother-in-law has been in better health recently?" the old lady said.
"Don't worry, old lady, my concubine's health is much better, and her complexion has improved a lot recently," the prince said.
"Well, if you have time, please advise her on my behalf, not to take everything to heart. If you still want to retain King Rong's heart, you must learn to be patient. After all, she is not young anymore." The old lady
