The smile in Zhao Xiyan's eyes faded a bit, and she turned to Xu Ying and said, "Please Third Sister, please go and greet the female members of the Su family on my behalf."
Mrs. Su is still "ill". Today, those who came to the Beihai Prince's Mansion to congratulate her were Su's eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Yu, and her second daughter-in-law, Mrs. Luo.
When Mrs. Yu met Zhao Xiyan, she was quite respectful and polite. Mrs. Luo's eyes were wandering and she did not dare to look at Zhao Xiyan.
Zhao Xiyan sneered in her heart and was quite cold towards Luo.
The female relatives present, you look at me, I look at you, the eyebrows and eyes are in a lawsuit.
Luo Shi is the direct sister-in-law of Empress Su, and the biological mother of Su Huan, the concubine of the East Palace. There must be some reason why the Crown Princess of Beihai is so indifferent to Luo Shi.
Is there any need to think about this? The prince wants to help Prince Beihai become the heir apparent, but the Su family is not happy.
When the Tian family establishes a heir apparent, it is the Su family's turn to intervene.
"The full moon banquet will start soon. Please ask my aunt to stay for a glass of wedding wine."
Muzhi responded with a smile: "I have to return to the palace to revive the empress. Thank you very much for your kindness."
As soon as I stepped into the house, the elder casually brought a letter: "Sir, the lady has written from the capital."
Although Mushizi was a palace official, no one dared to look down upon her. No one inside or outside the palace knew that Mushizi was Empress Su's confidant.
It is ridiculous to overestimate one's capabilities and think that one is right. Mrs. Su is currently recuperating in the Su Mansion. She will never leave the house until Her Majesty the Queen and the Crown Prince calm down...
Zhao Xiyan gave birth to a pair of dragons and phoenixes, which was a great joy for the Beihai Palace. Mrs. Meng couldn't afford a big gift, so she made two sets of clothes and shoes herself.
Xu Jing wrote frankly in his letter, clearly stating that he wanted to win over the Jiaodong Army.
Mrs. Meng secretly sighed in her heart. In the past, these noble ladies with high eyes would not pay attention to her at all. Now that the Crown Princess is close to her, the noble ladies immediately became warm to each other.
No wonder everyone loves to cling to the powerful!
The three sisters Xu Fang, Xu Zhi, and Xu Ying each went back to their own courtyards to rest. Zhao Xiyan finally had some free time and was able to chat with her friend Ye Qinyao alone.
Ye Qinyao looked at the pair of children lying on the bed with envy: "How come you are so blessed to have twins, a son and a daughter. You are simply a winner in life."
Zhao Xiyan hummed: "Don't worry, I've always been wary of the Su family."
Accepting an adopted daughter was no small matter. Zhao Yuanming did not agree immediately. He wrote back to Xu Jing and said that he would need to consider it for some time.
Mushroom Zixiao sat for a while and then left.
"I hope dad will recognize Wang Wei as his adopted daughter and make this couple happy."
After the family study was over, Zhao Yuanming walked back to Zhaojiafang unhurriedly.
Muzhi smiled and saluted: "I have met the Crown Princess. Today is the full moon of the little prince and princess. I am sending you a congratulatory gift on the order of the empress. I wish the little prince and princess good health and long life."
Zhao Xiyan received the package, opened it in public, looked at it carefully, and was very happy: "Mrs. Meng's needlework is really meticulous. These small clothes, shoes and socks are exquisite and beautiful."
Yu Shiluo Shi felt a little uneasy under the meaningful gazes of everyone.
Ye Qinyao paused, then whispered: "Yueya'er, you have to take good care of the children. I always feel that Mrs. Su will not give up."
Mrs. Meng smiled and sent the congratulatory gift: "These are the shoes, socks and clothes I personally made for the little prince and princess. The gift is simple, but I hope the princess will accept it."
After a while, the East Palace sent people to send congratulatory gifts again. Then the palaces of various vassals came to send congratulatory gifts. This scene was really enviable.
Zhao Xiyan helped Mushi Zi up with her own hands and said with a smile: "Auntie, please get up quickly."
Zhao Xiyan was busy for most of the day. After all the guests had dispersed, she breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected, Zhao Xiyan wrote this in her letter: "... In the previous life, Wang Wei died in a military camp. In this life, I reached out and gave her a hand. She broke up with Wang Tong, established her own business, and had self-respect and self-love. In this way
A woman deserves a better future."
"I hope I will give birth to a son this time, so that my mother-in-law can be silenced."
Mrs. Luo is not mean at all, but she is always urging her daughter-in-law to get pregnant and have children.
Compared with the expensive gifts sent by the ladies, Mrs. Meng's gift was indeed simple. However, Mrs. Meng's face was calm and showed no shame.
Zhao Yuanming immediately relaxed his eyebrows and took the letter with a smile.
Fortunately, another female guest came.
Censor Meng is an upright man who hates evil as much as he hates evil. He is known as the ghost who sees sorrow. Mrs. Meng usually lives in seclusion and rarely goes out. Today, the Beihai Palace is holding a full moon banquet, but Mrs. Meng must come.
"For your information, Crown Princess, someone from Jiaofang Palace has arrived."
The Meng family was poor. Last year, Meng Yushi had to use the imperial staff to heal his injuries. It was Zhao Xiyan who came to deliver medicine, charcoal and rice to survive the cold winter.
The person who came to give the full moon gift on behalf of Queen Su was none other than Mushizi.
Zhao Xiyan stood up immediately, and all the ladies stood up to greet him.
…
Ye Qinyao touched her slightly bulging belly and laughed softly: "Me too. The child is still in the belly. I don't know whether it is a boy or a girl, and I don't know what it looks like, but I already love him very much and am willing to risk my life for him.
.”
Mrs. Su doesn't think so. She relies on the fact that she is the Queen's mother-in-law and the Crown Prince's grandmother, and she is always very successful. Now she even feels qualified to ask about the matter of establishing a heir apparent!
Mrs. Meng stretched her brows and said with a smile: "I don't read much, and I'm not proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I do a lot of things like nvhong. It's my blessing to be able to see the eyes of a concubine."
"Having a son or daughter is always a happy event." Zhao Xiyan said with a soft smile.
A few days ago, my son-in-law Xu Jing received a letter, in which he told about Li Xiao and Wang Wei, and begged his father-in-law to accept Wang Wei as his adopted daughter.
Today, Zhao Xiyan sent another letter, most likely for this reason.
"For them, I can fight through mountains of swords and seas of fire." Zhao Xiyan whispered to Ye Qinyao and smiled.
As long as Queen Su and the Crown Prince have no intention of having a step-heir, the evil thoughts of the others will not be justified.
Ye Qinyao was also pregnant. She was just three months old. She gently stroked her belly and whispered, "Since I became pregnant, my mother-in-law has been much kinder to me."
Ye Qinyao had a headache from being talked about. It took her nearly a year to feel happy, and she finally felt a little relieved.
A few days later, Beihai County.
This is Mrs. Meng.
Zhao Xiyan and Mrs. Meng were talking and laughing, and all the ladies were chiming in, making the inner hall very lively.
…
Zhao Xiyan was so amused that she chuckled. She turned around and looked at her two sleeping children, her heart as gentle as a pool of spring water.
Zhao Yuanming was surprised and finally understood. No wonder a few days ago, Li Xiao came to the door with a generous gift to show his goodwill. It turned out that he had this intention.
Everyone took a closer look and stood up with a smile to say hello.
There is a lover...
A distant scene suddenly flashed through Zhao Yuanming's mind.
The young man who was forced to retreat by the imperial power bid farewell to his sweetheart in pain and left the capital in despair.
