“If she has the ability to conceive, she has to have the ability to give birth to it and raise it up.”Empress Xiao sneered, and then suddenly realized that her words were a little wrong, especially in front of a pregnant woman.
“.. I don’t mean anything else. I’m talking about Consort He Shu.”Not you.
Empress Xiao’s ruthless words were extremely awkward.
Xiao Baoxin shrugged. He knew that the women in the palace were not so good- natured.
“However, the palace is lonely. If I don’t have a child by my side, how can I live my long life? Look at all the tricks of these concubines in the palace? When the song is over and the people are gone, it’s a bit lonely.”
“I really don’t have a secret recipe for giving birth. Why don’t… I’ll get Doctor Xue to prescribe a prescription for nourishing yin and kidney?”
Xiao Baoxin spoke to Empress Xiao’s heart.
“That’s exactly what I meant. Whether it was useful or not, the emperor did not know.”
Xiao Baoxin indicated that she could pretend not to hear him.
“Sister-in-law should know that the one who attacked my stomach was Consort He Shu.”After the initial pain and confusion, Empress Xiao finally opened her eyes. He also understood that he could not escape Xie Xian’s eyes.
Xiao Baoxin nodded, “Yes.”
As expected.
Empress Xiao smiled. In the past, I was blinded by a leaf. It was all thanks to sister-in-law’s advice. Otherwise, I would have done something that would hurt my loved ones and make my enemies happy.”After that, he talked about the recent selection of talents.
Prince Huaiyang had taken a fancy to a beautiful girl and asked the Emperor for her. In the end, that beautiful girl actually did not take a fancy to Prince Huaiyang and vowed to die. It was a complete disgrace to Prince Huaiyang.
In order to make up for the hurt in Prince Huaiyang’s heart, Emperor Yong Ping rewarded five beautiful women to Prince Huaiyang’s residence.
As for the young lady who rejected the Prince of Huaiyang, she was rejected before she could even meet the Emperor. Before she could return to her hometown, she was taken in by He Erlang, who was engaged to Xiao Jing ‘ai.
He Erlang had already married Ying Chuan’s Zhong family’s second branch’s Fifth Mother.
It must be said that He Erlang was not a person who would stop. Madam He Cai was so worried that her head turned white. She first decided to marry He Erlang’s cousin from the Liu family. In the end, in less than half a year, her cousin from the Liu family died and she asked to marry Xie Shan. Xie Shan took a fancy to Qi Lang from the Chu family. There was no one in the aristocratic families who wanted to find someone of the same age but had not been engaged before.
However, the He family was a noble family, and now Emperor Yong Ping was the nephew of the second branch of the Liu family, so he would have to help them in the future. It was impossible for He Cai’s family to lower their status and marry. He made up his mind to pull strings in the aristocratic family.
Wuniang Zhong was the niece of Minister Xu’s wife, Madam Zhong, and the daughter of her brother.
Ever since the death of the eldest princess of Kuaiji, all the descendants of the Xu family had retired to observe filial piety. Madam Zhong had also been entrusted by Lady He Cai. Otherwise, she would not have been willing to go out. However, her niece was also worried about marriage.
She did not have any shameful shortcomings and was also quite decent. At most, she was a little thicker and stronger than other girls. Her skin color was a few degrees darker and she was considered petite. They had already arranged for two families. The first one was a child betrothal with the nephew of the Cai family. In the end, before he was ten years old, the Cai family’s son died of illness. The second person was Shilang, the fourth branch of the Wang family. In the end, he was implicated by the plebeian Wang’s regicide and was beheaded when he was within the age limit…
There was also no owner.
Although it was not satisfactory, Mrs. He Cai also knew that her son could not wait any longer. He was already seventeen years old. If she did not find someone, she would inevitably be laughed at. The middle-aged lady of the aristocratic family had already decided on her. If she were to find someone younger, she would think that He Erlang was too old…Moreover, it wasn’t that she was anxious. Her family’s Erlang really didn’t have a good reputation outside. She was afraid that if she missed this opportunity, she wouldn’t have this opportunity.
Xiao Baoxin was the number one beauty in Jiankang City, but so what? Ever since he married into the Xie family, he had caused so much trouble for the Xie family. How could she say that? Xiao Baoxin had only been in the family for less than two years, but he had offended more people than the Xie family in ten or twenty years…
Of course, most of the people he offended were dealt with by Xie Xian. Even his aunt’s family was dealt with.
Even though they were unwilling to admit it, not everyone was Xie Xian.
At the very least, his son was not.
Xiao Baoxin’s ability to stir up trouble was heaven-defying. Without Xie Xian’s ability, he really couldn’t afford to marry her. Even if she forced herself to marry him, she was afraid that her family would be ruined.
With such a comparison, Lady He Cai’s heart was balanced. The ugly wife was close to the treasure of the family. Although Wuniang Zhong was ugly, she came from a good family and had a gentle personality.
The main thing was that her family background was good. That was enough.
The current aristocratic families had been messed up by Xie Xian. There were too few people who had not been crippled and were still active in the royal court. Moreover, their ages had to match, which was even more difficult. It was really impossible to find someone without any flaws.
He Erlang was a beauty lover. Although he had a wife, he was even more presumptuous than before.
As the saying went, flowers in the house were not as fragrant as wildflowers. Moreover, this was not a flower in the house, but a grass.
He would rather offend the Prince of Huaiyang than bring that lady back to the manor. That lady was not as tough as she was when she was talking to the Prince of Huaiyang. Reality had taught her how to behave.
Originally, she wanted to rely on her beauty to accompany the king and get a concubine.
In the end, after offending the Prince of Huaiyang, she was sent back to her hometown without even entering the Imperial Palace. If it wasn’t for the fact that Erlang He took pity on her, her trip would have been in vain.
The imperial family was not as good as the aristocratic families. The common people had also heard this saying. When they saw that the aristocratic family had taken a fancy to her, and that she was fair and handsome, not comparable to the pig shape of the King of Huaiyang, she happily returned to the residence to be a concubine.
She had originally entered the palace to be a concubine, so she did not feel wronged to be a concubine of an aristocratic family.
However, he felt a little wronged after seeing He Erlang’s wife. How could he let such an ugly woman suppress him? The backyard of He Erlang began the Warring States Period, and fights occurred every two or three days.
Those who followed the example of their superiors and those who had a beginning also rose up.
Wuniang Zhong had previously been magnanimous and forgiving, at least she didn’t make a scene. In the end, not only did they fail to suppress the fire in the backyard of the second branch, but it became more and more intense. The open fire changed into a hidden move, and they began to play dirty.
As a result, Zhong Wuniang slipped into the pond in her backyard and almost drowned.
“.. Perhaps it was because she had survived a great disaster, but her heart had died. Lu Wuniang began to make a fuss about wanting a divorce. “It’s only been two months since that Xiu Nu entered the city, and it’s only been a month since she entered the gates of the He Mansion.” Empress Empress Xiao patted her chest as she spoke. “It’s not that I’m timid, but fortunately, such a thing didn’t enter the palace. Otherwise, I’m afraid there would be no peace.”
Of course, she had the intention of letting that beautiful girl deal with Consort He Shu, but what if Consort He Shu subdued that fellow first and turned around to deal with her?
He didn’t even dare to think that he would really go against that beautiful girl. Just ignore her. A noisy dog was quite annoying. Who knew when it would bite him?
Therefore, he should rejoice.
Xiao Baoxin made a trip into the palace and heard a lot of gossip.
She even suspected that what cured Empress Xiao was not time, but endless gossip. There was no peace in and out of the palace.
