The news that Sheng Nuan returned home safely reached Liu Rumian's ears, and Liu Rumian gritted her teeth.
That little bitchy hoof is lucky enough to allow her to escape.
Seeing Liu Rumian's expression, Wen'er hesitated for a moment and carefully dissuaded her: "Auntie, now I'm pregnant, and this is the prince's first child... Then the Sheng family has never really served the prince, so why bother with her?"
Release your energy."
Liu Rumian reluctantly suppressed her unwillingness and thought for a while: "That's right."
As long as she gives birth to the prince's first child, she no longer has to worry about that little bitch Sheng Nuan riding on her head.
It's a pity that her child can only be a bastard!
Liu Rumian leaned on the couch and caressed her lower abdomen...
Even if she is a concubine, this is the prince's first child. No matter what, the old woman and the princess can no longer treat her harshly.
Liu Rumian reluctantly comforted herself, but soon she discovered that things were different from what she had imagined.
After learning that she was pregnant, the princess just sent someone to deliver bird's nest supplements and the like, and then ignored her.
The old lady ignored her at all and sent people to deliver any good things to Sheng Nuan. She would also ask Sheng Nuan to go to her yard from time to time.
While Liu Rumian was suffering from morning sickness, she was filled with resentment and unwillingness...
That night, just as she fell asleep, she was suddenly awakened.
She opened her eyes suddenly and saw a dark figure standing beside her bed.
Liu Rumian screamed: "Who, who is it?"
"Why are Sister Liu so nervous?"
A familiar voice sounded, and then Liu Rumian saw that it was Sheng Nuan.
She was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she suddenly saw blood all over Sheng Nuan's head and face. Her face was pale and she was looking straight at her: "Sister Liu is so cruel. She asked her brother to harm me for no reason..."
Liu Rumian was startled suddenly and shouted in panic: "I didn't, no, it's not me!"
Sheng Nuan laughed miserably and suddenly rushed toward her...
Liu Rumian screamed, rolled her eyes, and fainted...
Sheng Nuan clicked her tongue and flew away lightly.
The next day, while Sheng Nuan was having dinner with the old lady, she heard Nanny Gui next to her say: "I heard that Mrs. Liu in Feixuyuan suffered from nightmares and palpitations, so we invited the doctor again."
Sheng Nuan continued to eat his own, pretending not to hear anything, and then heard the old lady next to him sneer: "Nightmare, did you do something bad to have a nightmare at night..."
Sheng Nuan silently gave the old lady a thumbs up.
The next moment, I heard the old lady turn around and fire at her: "You are also worthless. You have been in the house for so long, and there is no movement in your stomach. It's just that little bitch who took the advantage."
Sheng Nuan almost choked and coughed violently...
Aunt Gui quickly advised from the side: "This matter can't be rushed."
The old lady snorted, poked Sheng Nuan on the forehead and changed the subject: "The prince's birthday party will be held in a few days. I have prepared a gift for you, so you don't have to worry about it."
Sheng Nuan was overjoyed, but there was hesitation on her face: "Isn't this good..."
The old lady waved her hand: "Okay, I have the final say on this matter. You can go back. The old lady needs to rest."
Sheng Nuan could only agree, stand up and leave.
Aunt Gui personally sent her out of the old lady's yard...
First it was Aunt Liu's birthday, and then it was the prince's birthday. The whole palace was full of joy, and there was laughter everywhere.
Before the prince's birthday banquet, Su Lan came to see Sheng Nuan twice more and said that Her Highness the Princess wanted an invitation, but Sheng Nuan declined both times because she felt unwell.
She hasn't decided how to face Princess Lin'an yet.
It was also at this time that she realized that on her side, every moment of getting along with Xiaoyu was still vivid in her mind, but in fact thirteen years had passed.
In thirteen years, a person will always change, not to mention, maybe she has never really understood that person...
She also wanted to make it clear to Xiaoyu, but when she thought of what happened in the bedroom of the restaurant that day, she backed down again.
It's better to wait until she thinks it through.
In Jingluan Courtyard, when she learned that Sheng Nuan had refused to come over again, Princess Lin'an's expression turned cold...
She must have discovered it.
He shouldn't have been so impatient to get close to her that day that she would have resented him.
What he wants is not temporary happiness, so... he has to suppress it and pursue it slowly!
Princess Lin'an's eyes were filled with darkness...
On this day, it was finally the birthday of King Zhenbei.
In addition to people from the Zhenbei Prince's Palace, many dignitaries who were close friends also came to celebrate. The birthday banquet was held in the back garden of the Prince's Palace. It was night, full of joy and laughter.
But Princess Lin'an did not show up. The princess' explanation to the guests was that the princess was sick in bed due to the cold... When Sheng Nuan heard this, she subconsciously glanced in the direction of Jingluan Courtyard, and then looked away again.
Because it was a small-scale banquet, the participants were all dignitaries with considerable status, so from time to time juniors from various families came out to perform, which attracted applause from the whole house...
After the daughter of the Minister of War, who was good at dancing, finished her dance, Princess Chaoyang smiled and suggested that the Prince of Zhenbei also put on a show.
There was only one eldest son in the Zhenbei Palace, Xiao Dingcheng, and his wife, Princess Lin'an, was ill and did not attend, so only two concubines, Sheng Nuan and Liu Rumian, were left.
Originally, the two of them were not qualified to sit in the front, but Liu Rumian had just become pregnant, and Xiao Dingcheng was considerate of her, so he informed the King of Zhenbei and his wife and took her with him.
Sheng Nuan was led by the old lady and sat in a higher position.
After hearing Princess Chaoyang's words, Liu Rumian tentatively glanced at Xiao Dingcheng, looking forward to it.
After all, it’s a good thing to show up on such an occasion...
Xiao Dingcheng glanced at his mother and concubine, and saw that although her mother-in-law looked indifferent but had no objection, he nodded to Liu Rumian. Liu Rumian suppressed the excitement in her heart and stood up to salute.
"Then Mrs. Liu will be bold enough to play a piece of music to entertain the prince and you all."
After a while, Liu Rumian was dressed in a long smoky blue dress. She walked to the middle like a weak Liu supporting the wind, sat down on the piano stool, and touched the strings with her bare hands...
The pleasant sound of the piano flowed, elegant and soft. Liu Rumian played the piano while observing the expression of King Zhenbei without any trace... But the more she watched, the more she felt cold.
The King of Zhenbei was naturally majestic and usually very cold. At this moment, he was holding the wine glass and frowning slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied with her playing.
Liu Rumian had always wanted to show off, but when she saw the appearance of King Zhenbei, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She accidentally played the wrong syllable... This mistake made her even more confused, and the second half of the melody became even more fun.
The performance was quite satisfactory.
By the time the song was over, she was already covered in cold sweat.
Even if the other guests were disdainful, for the sake of King Zhenbei, they pretended to be polite and praised him a few times, but everyone could tell that it was perfunctory.
King Zhenbei put down his wine glass and snorted unceremoniously: "The sound of Mi Mi..."
Liu Rumian's face turned pale, and she just wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
Xiao Dingcheng was a little helpless and was about to open his mouth to relieve the siege, but Liu Rumian suddenly stood up and saluted and said: "I am not feeling well, which has ruined the interest of the prince and everyone. I am really embarrassed... Fortunately, Sister Sheng is very talented. Why not invite Sister Sheng to perform for me?"
Happy birthday to the prince."
Xiao Dingcheng's expression froze and he frowned slightly, looking at Liu Rumian as if he was meeting her for the first time.
At this time, anyone with a little bit of brain could see that Liu Rumian was embarrassed by being in the limelight. She was trying to drag down the other Aunt Sheng...
