C41 (1/2)
Big sister Xu, when the time comes, I will show some fear in front of the prince, and I will still insist on kneeling. When the time comes, you can ask me why I must kneel, and whether there is anything hard to say, and then I will secretly take a look at mother Sun, the prince is not a stupid person, he is just struggling in his own home. After all, I am pregnant with the son that the prince had painstakingly brought over, and he will pay more or less attention to the inner chamber because of the child in my womb.
When the Xu family heard this, their already bright eyes lit up again. ”Are you saying that Prince thinks that your hidden trouble is because of the wangfei?”
”Yes, everything that has been done today is just to leave an impression on the Prince, and that is that the magnanimous and magnanimous wife in his eyes isn't what he sees. The Prince misunderstood you this time, and even though the matter hasn't been revealed, in his heart, he is still somewhat apologetic to you. When the time comes, you can ask the Prince to stay for a meal, and I trust the Prince won't reject it.”
”Stay for dinner?” Not long after their marriage, Prince Chen had found another beauty, which allowed her to clearly see Prince Chen's character. To be honest, she no longer held any hope for this man who held power in her heart. Now that she clearly knew that this man didn't trust her, she could not help but put on a smile.
”Big sister Xu, it's more of a scheme if you don't put up with it. While the prince feels guilty, tell him a story. I believe that the prince will find it easier to listen to.”
”A story?”
”Yes, I will tell you a story you once read, about a landowner who married a landowner's wife who could not bear to give birth. That wife was afraid that she would not give birth and was abandoned by the landowner, so she actually gave the landowner medicine which could not bear children. The landowner did not know that, under the arrangements of the landowner's wife, she married a concubine who could not bear children, but after a while, she thought that she had no children and felt guilty towards her own wife. She believed that after so many years, she had married so many concubines, and after that, the landowner had abandoned her concubine and stayed by her old wife.”
”If I tell this story in front of the prince, will it arouse his suspicions and make him think that I'm telling this story to incite his wife?”
”In the past, Your Highness might have thought so, but now that I'm pregnant, His Highness will not immediately think of framing this area, and will only view this story as being by an observer. However, after hearing this story, he will more or less leave an impression, and in the future, I will find an opportunity to let Your Highness know that Royal Concubine is currently seeking a Divine Doctor to treat her cold ailment. At that time, if Your Highness thinks of this story again, he will probably have some suspicions about Princess Consort.”
It was true that people would always be confused by the firms beside them. Something that the Prince hadn't discovered in so many years couldn't be related to her just because of a story she had casually told him. Most importantly, he was now pregnant, so there was something about the story that didn't make sense to him.
”Alright, that's settled then.”
Just as Lady Xu finished her sentence, the servant girl's voice came from outside, informing them that Prince Chen had arrived.
After Lady Xu and Seventh Seven smiled at each other, they stood up, straightened their skirts, and stood to the side, waiting for the Prince to come in.
After Prince Chen entered, he looked around coldly. Seeing Qi San standing to one side with his head lowered cautiously, he coughed dryly before stepping forward and holding onto the Xu Family's hand.
”It's been a long time since I've come to see you, but I seem to have lost a bit of weight.”
Mrs Xu raised her head and looked at Sun Yiyi's mother, who followed closely behind. Then, she looked up and smiled at Prince Chen, ”Does Your Highness really care about me? I had thought that someone had complained and that the Prince was in such a hurry to rush over because of his heart aching for the beauty. ”
The muscles on Prince Chen's face twitched slightly at the Xu Family's merciless snatching of his face. In order to cover up his embarrassment, he laughed out loud: ”Who else is prettier than you in this mansion's backyard?”
She sat down on the left side of the table, looking at Sun Yiyi with a smile that was not a smile, ”Why did Sun Yiyi's mother come back? Didn't she say that bringing Seventh Madame over to me would be enough for the job?”
”This... ”This …” Seeing that Mrs Xu was unwilling to let it go, Sun Yiyi's mother hurriedly looked up at Prince Chen, hoping he would speak up for her, but Prince Chen avoided her eyes with a sip of tea.
Sun Yiyi's mother knew it was impossible for the prince to speak, so she turned her head to look at Qi Seven unwillingly, but she only saw the thick black bangs, unable to even make eye contact.
”This old servant was worried about Seventh Madame …” Knowing that no amount of explanation was of any use, Sun Yiyi's mother could only stammer out an excuse for herself.
”Worry!” Mrs Xu raised her tone even more, glancing sideways at the already frightened Sun Yiyi who was kneeling down, ”What are you worried about? Are you worried that I will eat her, or that I will kill her? ”
”I don't dare, I don't dare, this old servant doesn't dare!”
