Of course Xue and Zheng didn't come empty-handed, they also brought a lot of supplements suitable for pregnant women. There were several boxes of bird's nest ginseng and the like. Among them was a century-old ginseng with all beards and tails.
It looks extraordinary. This is a good thing that money cannot buy. Especially when pregnant women are about to give birth, no matter how critical the situation is, cutting a piece of ginseng and holding it in your mouth can save your life for an extra moment.
Although Ye Qinglan is not a vain person, her mother-in-law's support does make her feel proud.
Of course, such a heavy gift was not brought out by the third room, but was specially ordered by Changyuan Bo Ye Sheng from the palace. The century-old ginseng plant was a good thing that had been collected for a long time. This time it was given as a congratulatory gift.
After seeing Ye Qinglan, the meaning contained in this is worth pondering...
Mrs. Zheng felt relieved, but she smiled calmly and said: "Second sister, you and your mother-in-law came here to visit Qinglan today. Why did you bring so many good things here? Are you afraid of me?
This mother-in-law must have treated her badly!" These jokes revealed intimacy and casualness.
Mrs. Zheng smiled, and before she could say anything, Ms. Xue responded with a smile: "My mother-in-law said that, I'm really ashamed that I have no place to stay. The latest chapter of The Temptation of the Master's Wife. Ever since Qinglan married into the house, this time
I have seen all the happy days I have lived over the years. To be honest, as a mother, I am not as good-tempered as my mother-in-law. It is so rare that Qinglan has a mother-in-law like you.
A lifetime of blessings."[
...so disgusting! Ye Qinglan silently shook off the goosebumps all over her body.
Ms.
"Deep" is really maladaptive.
What's more, Mrs. Zheng actually came with her, which made people feel flattered, but also felt a little strange. She was just pregnant. It was not worth the effort and labor required by the Changyuan House to bring such a heavy gift.
Come visit!
After Mrs. Xue said some beautiful words, she didn't say much next. Instead, Ms. Zheng and her sister Mrs. Zheng chatted about a lot of common things. The topic gradually led to the residence of Zheng Guogong, her mother's family: "You also have some days.
You haven't gone back! The situation in the court has been unstable recently. My father took a leave of absence to rest at home, and my eldest brother rarely goes out to socialize."
The words were very vague, but the underlying meaning was very clear.
Concubine Zheng was in a difficult situation in the palace, and the third prince was still locked up in the prince's palace for self-examination. Zheng Guogong's palace had to hide its capabilities and bide its time. The Duke of Guo was ill and recuperating in the palace, and the eldest son Zheng Yun rarely left the palace.
Compared with the past few days, the recent situation seems to be more serious.
After hearing this, Mrs. Zheng felt really bad and couldn't help but sigh. But in front of everyone, some words were hard to say out loud, so she just exchanged a sighing look with Mrs. Zheng.
Mrs. Zheng cheered up and changed the topic: "Look at me, it's rare to see me, why do you mention all these unpleasant things? Qinglan's pregnancy is not even two months old! Counting the days, I'm afraid the child will be born
I won’t be born until after the first month of next year.”
Mrs. Zheng also smiled when she mentioned the child in Ye Qinglan's belly. By the way, she asked about Zheng's pair of treasures, brother Jin Sunqi and brother Lin. At this age, the most talked about topic among ladies is children.
For a moment, the talk was really lively.
Mrs. Xue couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when she heard such a topic. It has been almost two years since her daughter-in-law Zheng Min was married to the family, but her stomach has not moved at all. If this continues, she wants to have a grandson, but she doesn't know that it is the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
Normally, Mrs. Xue would have complained a long time ago. But these two people in front of her are Zheng Min's aunts. To scold Zheng Min in front of them is simply asking for trouble, so she can only keep silent.
After lunch, the two sisters, Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng, finally had the opportunity to have some intimate conversations.
"Sister, I won't hide it from you." Mrs. Zheng smiled apologetically and frankly explained her purpose: "Actually, I came here specially this time because of my father-in-law's instructions."
Mrs. Zheng had been mentally prepared for a long time. She didn't feel surprised when she heard this. She just sighed: "Has the situation really become this serious?" Even the Changyuan Mansion wanted to distance itself from the Third Prince's faction and wanted to surrender.
Have you come to the prince's side?
Of course, there are not so many twists and turns between sisters.
Mrs. Zheng smiled bitterly: "Sister, I'm afraid the situation is worse than you think. The situation in the palace is really not good. I heard that since the Third Prince was fined and grounded, the Emperor never wants to see him again.
Imperial Concubine. It has been more than a month. According to the news coming from the palace, the Emperor is not very fond of Cao Jieyu and Huang Meiren, but the newly promoted Zhou Meiren is very favored. What does this mean?
, you must know it very well."
Of course Mrs. Zheng knows.
Zhou Meiren was a newcomer promoted by Empress Gu. The emperor favored Zhou Meiren and ignored concubines like Concubine Zheng, which was clearly intentional. All the concubines in the palace were smart people with raised eyebrows and bright eyes. In this way,
Most of the concubines who were originally attached to Concubine Zheng changed their minds and went to show their kindness to Empress Gu.[
Thinking further, Concubine Zheng's fall from favor was of course due to the third prince's influence, and the maid pampered the prince every night. The emperor's intention was so obvious, and the trend in the court became more obvious. The officials of the third prince's faction
, many of them are showing their goodwill to the prince. There are also some who have a wait-and-see attitude. I am afraid that there are not many true die-hard members of the Three Princes Party left.
The supremacy of imperial power is the power of the emperor. In the past, favoritism could bring the third prince great glory, but now his anger and indifference quickly put the third prince into a cold and embarrassing situation.
Because of the marriage relationship between the Chang Yuan Bo Mansion and Zheng Guo Gong's Mansion, they can be regarded as the third prince's faction. However, now people's hearts are fluctuating, and Ye Sheng and his son are no exception. They have begun to consider a retreat. Therefore, they took advantage of the opportunity of Ye Qinglan's pregnancy to specifically let Ye Qinglan become pregnant.
The Zheng family came to express their goodwill. As long as the Dingguo Palace takes care of them, the Prince of Changyuan will be able to gain a firm foothold in the future when the prince ascends the throne.
Ye Qinglan is now the grandson-in-law of Dingguo Palace and the future wife of the crown prince. Sooner or later, she will be in charge of the central government. With this relationship, everyone in Changyuan Palace is very confident about Zheng's trip.
Mrs. Zheng came back to her senses from the chaotic thoughts and gently comforted Mrs. Zheng: "I am not proficient in the matters in the court and cannot be the master. However, since they all have this intention, I will work with the master when he comes back.
Let him talk about it. Not talking about the affection between the two sisters, he just said that Qinglan married into our house, and our two houses are serious in-laws. We should take care of each other. "
Mrs. Zheng felt relieved and hurriedly smiled and echoed a few words. But she couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart. Ye Qinglan was really lucky. She was just a concubine who married into a high family. Her husband and mother-in-law even loved her and did not say anything about her, and she got pregnant with all her strength.
Pregnant. As long as she has a baby, the inner courtyard of Dingguo Palace will be her world in the future.
Thinking of her daughter Ye Qingning's current embarrassing situation, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but sigh.
"You said it well, why are you sighing again?" Mrs. Zheng asked with concern.
Zheng responded with a wry smile: "It's nothing, it's just that when I think of Ning'er, I feel bad. We sisters don't have to be secretive when we speak, so I just tell the truth. Judging from the current situation, the three of us are
The possibility that His Royal Highness wants to be the crown prince is probably very slim. I am afraid that the imperial concubine will not have the same glory as before in the palace. In the future, when the prince ascends the throne, life in Zheng Guogong's palace will not be easy. Ning'er married Jun Yan, originally it was
It’s the icing on the cake. But I haven’t enjoyed any blessings yet when I encounter such a situation. I don’t know what will happen in the future.”
In one sentence, Zheng's contradictory and complicated feelings were revealed.
Mrs. Zheng comforted her with a few words, but she felt that her words were empty.
The two sisters were having a heart-to-heart talk in the room, and Ye Qinglan and Ye Qingfu were also whispering together. Mr. Xue rarely sat aside and said nothing, and did not disturb the two of them.
"I don't know what my cousin has been busy with recently." Ye Qingfu complained: "I go out early in the morning every day and don't come back until evening. I don't know who I am with, and I get drunk every day.
If I complained, he would coax me with a lot of sweet words, saying that this is how men do things outside. He also said that my brother-in-law went out to socialize like this every day. Fortunately, he had the nerve to make such a comparison. My brother-in-law is a powerful minister of household affairs, and
He is the most proud person around the prince. There are many people to please, so it is inevitable to have more entertainment. As for him, he is just a white man, and he does not even have an official status. He is said to be doing business, and he has not even managed a shop until now.
I really don’t know what I’m busy with every day.”
As she spoke, Ye Qingfu became aggrieved: "I am pregnant now, and he doesn't come back to stay with me. He comes back very late every day. I asked him where he was, and he didn't tell me the truth. Sanmei
, you have always been smart, do you think there is something wrong with him being like this?"
Something is really wrong.
Ye Qinglan also knew something about Xue Yushu. Xue Yushu was lazy and ambitious by nature, and did not have a strong desire to stand out. This time he decided to do some business. He probably came up with the idea because he was too busy and panicked. To be honest, no one had any idea.
I think Xue Yushu can really do something impressive.
Okay, that’s a bit mean to think so!
Ye Qinglan put away the chaotic thoughts in her mind and smiled at Ye Qingfu: "Second sister, please stop thinking so much. What is my cousin's character and how he will treat you after we get married? Do I need to say more? He is absolutely
It's impossible for me to do anything I'm sorry for behind your back. Just rest assured."
