Everyone in the world thought that the prince got an unparalleled smart wife. Even though she was a fallen flower, she still became a high-ranking princess and the prince's new favorite due to her superb skills and beautiful face.
However, these are just what the world thinks. Just like in the eyes of the world, the emperor loves the prince the most, and the emperor and the queen have a deep love for each other. However, how much do ordinary people know about this royal palace? Most of them are just their fabrications.
It's a conversation piece after dinner.
And the entire Prince's Palace knows that the Crown Princess is just a decoration. Even if she has been favored several times, it is just because His Highness wants to change her taste. And once she angers His Highness, the result will be like this - The Prince
They ignored her and treated her like air. Despite this, they still did not dare to disobey her. At least for now, she was still the head mistress of the Prince's Mansion.
Therefore, no one dared to show any slightness to Mrs. Huai who stayed in the Prince's Mansion, but unfortunately, she didn't know what kind of pain her daughter was suffering.
Five days have passed in the blink of an eye. During these five days, Huai Moran's cold has improved a lot. It is said that the doctor got the prince's command and would come to check Huai Moran's pulse every day before lunch to make sure that she was fine. Huai Moran rarely interacted with her.
While the doctor was talking, Liangchen kept chasing him to ask for advice on medical skills. Huai Moran watched from the side, feeling amused and touched at the same time.
How could she not know what Liangchen was thinking? Although she prided herself on being strong and strong, her body was indeed too weak. Coupled with the overload of work, her body was like the doctor said, suffering too many losses. If she didn't take a good rest, she wouldn't be able to survive.
It was said that he was as brave as in modern times, but he was afraid that he could not even compare with the body of an ordinary woman. So Liangchen worked hard to learn some medical skills, stay with her, and take good care of her body.
There are people in this world who care about her so much, why would she Huai Mo Ran harm her body? After thinking about this, Huai Mo Ran no longer rushes back to the villa, but takes good care of herself, and there is nothing important in Chongzi Villa.
Occasionally there was one or two pieces of information, which were just things she had expected, so it didn't take much effort.
The third prince, Baili Yexuan, has not been here since that day. However, he sends people to bring some supplements every day, as if the prince's residence does not have them. Although the servants dare not gossip, everyone looks at Huai Mo Ran's courtyard.
There's something wrong with his eyes.
Every time Mrs. Huai came to Huai Mo Ran's room, she would meet someone bringing something. At first she thought it was from the prince, but later she pulled the person who delivered the thing to ask why the prince didn't come, but she learned that they were the third prince.
people.
At this time, the room where the furnace was baking was as warm as spring, and the cold wind whizzing by outside the closed window made a whooshing sound like a ghost crying or a wolf howling. It made several people in the room feel unusually warm, but they always felt the cool breeze all around them.
Thurs, I feel cold for no reason.
In the Panzhi carved flower incense burner, there was a soothing vanilla carefully prepared by the doctor. When mixed with agarwood, the lingering aroma had a somewhat special flavor. Liangchen asked the doctor what this strange aroma was, but the doctor never knew.
answer.
Huai Moran was leaning on the bed at this time, fiddling with a strand of hair in boredom. In front of the rosewood table, Mrs. Huai frowned and held a cup of tea. She hesitated several times, and finally sighed helplessly.
Liangchen brought the medicine, and the bitter taste instantly covered the faint fragrance in the room. Huai Moran frowned, with a hint of womanly anger on his face: "I want to drink this medicine again!"
Liangchen said with a smile: "Your Majesty, good medicine tastes bitter, and this is the last medicine. From the beginning of Dr. Li's explanation, Your Majesty will no longer need to drink this medicine, but instead drink tonic medicine."
Huai Moran twitched the corner of his lips and said helplessly: "Please, aren't tonics also medicine?"
Liangchen's eyes widened and he put his hands on his hips reluctantly, waiting for Huai Moran to drink the bitter medicine. At the same time, he said righteously: "Can it be the same? The fifth prince is a man, and the master is also a man. How can they be compared?"
"Poof!" Finally, Mrs. White spit out a sip of tea.
Liangchen hurriedly stepped forward to pat her back and said, "Madam, please be careful, this tea is a bit hot."
Mrs. White shook her head and said: "It's okay...it's just that you girl is too unscrupulous in what you say. Please listen carefully and let others listen to you and read your book in front of the prince."
Liangchen immediately smiled and said: "What does it matter? Anyway, the queen will help me."
Mrs. White looked helplessly at the two masters and servants, and said earnestly: "You two are too kind and have no scheming, too free and have no rules. I have searched this prince's residence, and you are the only two who are easy to bully. The three who came yesterday
Which woman doesn’t have an unfathomable secret behind her smile? If you follow others’ example, in the end, when the prince ascends the throne, you will only be criticized by others.”
Liangchen almost suppressed laughter because she really couldn't associate Huai Mo Ran with the words "without scheming" and "easy to bully". In this world, probably no one except the prince could bully her mother-in-law.
As for scheming, huh, her mother-in-law is very smart.
Mrs. Huai used Liangchen's words to open up the conversation, so naturally she would not let it go easily. She looked at Huai Mo Ran, who frowned because he drank the medicine, and advised again: "Mo Ran, don't think you are too verbose for your mother. You,
In the future, a person who wants his mother to honor the world, how can he still be so childish? You must learn to please the prince, and you must also learn to get along with those concubines and concubines. I know you don't like the fact that there are women around the prince, but looking at the world
, which man doesn’t have three wives and four concubines? You have to learn to get used to it."
Huai Moran drank the medicine and took a candied fruit from the small honey jar at Liangchen. While eating, he listened carefully to Mrs. Huai's words. His attitude seemed to be respectful and serious, but in fact, his thoughts had already gone to the sky.
Seeing Huai Moran's serious face, Mrs. Huai felt greatly comforted, and said: "Mother has let you read "The Women's Commandments" a long time ago, telling you to obey the three obediences and the four virtues, abide by the ways of women, and not to have anything to do with other men, but
Look..." She pointed at the tonics and said with a displeased look on her face: "Although you once had a crush on the third prince, but now he has married your sister and you have married the prince. Although you two are still a family,
People should always avoid suspicion..."
At this point, Mrs. Huai shed a few tears and choked up: "When I married into the Huai family as a concubine, I never had a good day. Why? Because I am a concubine and I have no plans to please you.
Dad's favor means that you are not favored, and now you have finally become someone else's first wife. If you don't learn to plan for yourself, you will suffer the same mistakes as your mother in the future. Why don't you worry about your mother?"
"This woman, you just can't be too willful. Otherwise, you will not only lose your husband, but also your children. In the Huai family, do you think there are only two daughters, you and your sister? No, how many other children are there?
All the concubines were also pregnant, but the pregnant wife was jealous, and those women were too arrogant, so their children were all stillborn inexplicably..."
"Although I gave birth to you in fear, if you hadn't worked hard on your own, you still couldn't have changed the fate of being sold as a concubine... Wei Niang doesn't want you to become like Wei Niang, even to protect yourself
The child doesn’t even have the ability…you know?”
Huai Moran raised her eyes. After all, she couldn't ignore Mrs. Huai, who was crying because she talked about her sadness. This kind but stupid woman tried her best to protect her daughter, but she didn't know that her daughter was already dead...
...Thinking of this, Huai Moran couldn't help but feel soft. She raised her face, Liangchen immediately understood, stepped forward to wipe Mrs. Huai's tears, and comforted her with gentle words.
Huai Moran said softly: "Mom, I know you are worried about me. My daughter only wants to ask you one thing. Do you think it would be better for those who have been here in the past few months to stay in Huai Mansion?"
Mrs. Huai nodded slightly and murmured: "I am much freer and more comfortable than in Huai Mansion. This is all thanks to you."
Huai Moran raised his eyebrows and smiled: "That's it. After so long, do you really think that women must rely on men? You don't allow me to go to Zuiyue Tower, but you are afraid that I will have a bad reputation. Today I will tell you that I am
The boss behind Zuiyue Tower has never done anything shady. In addition to Zuiyue Tower, I also have a bank under my name. The money I earn is enough to support you and myself for a lifetime, why should I wrong myself?"
Mrs. Huai's face was full of surprise. She really didn't expect that Huai Moran had these two identities.
Huai Moran continued: "Mother, the prince...actually has another woman. Even if he ascends the throne one day, I can't be the queen. At most, I will be a noble concubine. I didn't tell you, just because I was afraid that you would be sad.
, and if one day I enter the palace and become a concubine, and the people in the palace are chatty, unlike in the prince's house, the maids dare not speak, and when the mother sees me, she will still kowtow to me, how many points will there be?"
Mrs. Huai stopped talking. She looked at Huai Moran, who had a serious face, and knew that her daughter was not joking. Although she was conservative and stubborn, she did not want her daughter to suffer. Reminiscent of that day when Baili Yeheng showed no mercy.
He tugged at Huai Moran's clothes. Although he said it was a quarrel at the time, but now that he thinks about it, his eyes... didn't show any pity. It was like Huai Yao Song looking at her.
Huai Moran was overjoyed, knowing that Mrs. Huai finally listened to what he said, so he continued: "Mom, you also said that if you are a concubine, you will always be suppressed. I don't want to live such a life. That day I killed the fat man,
If it weren't for some mistake, I would never have come here. The prince is indeed kind to me, and I won't owe him anything. Once I have repaid my kindness... I will be ready to leave."
Mrs. Huai and Liangchen were both stunned and said in unison: "What did you (Empress) say?"
Although Liangchen knew that Huai Moran had been wronged, he didn't know that she had always had this intention. However, Huai Moran told them the matter without hesitation. She also understood that this meant that she was already the most trusted person in Huai Moran.
Huai Moran smiled softly and said calmly: "I yearn for another kind of life. I look forward to one day being able to travel around the world and be as free as a bird. I look forward to no longer being tied down or bound by the world. But my mother
, Don’t worry, I will never run away willfully alone. I will ask the prince to let me go, and he will definitely let me go. Because only in this way can I ensure that you will not be harmed."
The room was silent, and both Mrs. Huai and Liangchen lowered their heads in silence. There were tears in their eyes, but they didn't know why they were crying. Only today did they know that the pain in Huai Moran's heart was more than they imagined. If it hadn't been like this,
How could she want to leave so decisively? Everything was just despair.
Outside the door, Baili Yeheng stood there in shock. He wanted to rush in and tell her once again that he would never let go and that she would always be his.
But, so what if he told her again? All that was just what he thought and said, what did it have to do with her?
