However, it was undeniable that sometimes people depended on luck.
Although Cui Yingying and Jiang Yu were in charge of various matters in the crown prince's mansion, Cui Yingying, who had stopped using the medicine with Jiang, was never able to get pregnant. It was only after two or three years of struggling with the medicine that she finally had some movement in her stomach, and because she felt that this child was not easy to obtain, Cui Yingying did not dare to act rashly, and during these few months of pregnancy, she completely abandoned all matters in the backyard, allowing Jiang to cover the sky with one hand.
Jiang Yu also felt a deep sense of danger.
Before, she was the only child of the crown prince's mansion that was born of her, so she naturally didn't feel too pressured. However, before this, he had obviously suffered more than he did. Pet. Once she gave birth to a boy, the advantages she had built up in the crown prince's household all these years would be gone. Especially with her figure changing shape as she gave birth to a child, she felt a sense of lethargy and love, hence she urgently needed to form an alliance with him.
And in this world, which alliance was more reliable than sisters who were related by blood?
She sent this thought to the Qin family far away in Zhenjiang's manor. The Qin family immediately brought Jiang Wan and Jiang Shu into the capital.
In her previous life, Jiang Wan didn't understand the scheme behind it and was tricked.
But in this life, Jiang Wan was constantly on guard against her elder sister who had a smile on her face.
At this moment, she was following behind née Qin, watching as they acted out their deep feelings for mother and son. When Jiang Yu's gaze swept over her, she knelt down obediently and said in a clear voice: ”I am Jiang Wan, and I pay my respects to the Empress.”
The Qin was Jiang Yu's mother, so it was reasonable that she didn't need to kneel. She was just her little concubine sister, and she didn't think that her face was big enough to enjoy the same treatment as the Qin.
When Jiang Zhuzhe, who was originally standing next to her, saw this, he was first stunned. After being glared at by the Qin family, he finally knelt down along with Jiang Wan.
”My two sisters, please get up.” Jiang Yu signaled the people beside him to help Jiang Wan and Jiang Shu up, ”Everyone says today is a family banquet, why are you two sisters being so courteous? ”When I left home, my sister was still a five-year-old naughty kid. I didn't expect her to be so beautiful today.”
As Jiang Wei said this, he held Jiang Wan's hand with a smile. His eyes constantly swept over Jiang Wan's face, making her feel as if she was an item that was ready to be sold at a price. He felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.
At the same time, Jiang Shu also felt unhappy.
Ever since she was young, she had always grown up comparing Jiang Wan. Everything she ate, wore, and used was better than Jiang Wan's, but today, her elder sister had always held Jiang Wan's hand and spoken to her well. Yet, the more she treated her like an appendage, the more annoyed she became.
So she went around to the other side of Jiang Yu in a pout and said, ”Big Sis is so unfair, why are you just looking at Fourth Sis like that? Don't you think I'm beautiful too? ”
Saying that, Jiang Shu spun around in front of Jiang Yu. Wearing a silver red dress with golden lines embroidered on it, she looked like a blooming hibiscus flower.
Jiang Yang could only praise her with a smile.
After exchanging a few pleasantries in the main hall, Jiang Yu brought the Qin family to his own banquet room. She pulled née Qin down onto a large fire kang with a golden heart and a green satin bed, while Jiang Wan and Jiang Shu sat together on a plate in front of the kang.
As soon as they sat down, they heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the room, followed by the low exclamations of the servants. ”Your Highness, you have to be careful …”
Following that, he only saw the plywood curtain being lifted, and a ball of pure gold little figure ran in like a gust of wind, directly jumping into Ginger's arms.
”Mother …” Mother … The voice was a little soft and soft.
When the Qin family saw this, a trace of affection appeared in their eyes. However, she did not dare to sit there. Instead, she quickly stood up and bowed towards that small figure.
