Only General Yan and Wei Yang were present at the fish feast at noon.
Wei Yang, who used to be able to eat and sleep, had no appetite for the fish on the table today. On the contrary, the old general was in high spirits. He ate the fish, drank the wine, and said that he would go fishing after lunch.
Wei Yang waited for the old general to return to the house to rest, and sat under the osmanthus tree in the yard in a daze.
Konggu didn't dare to say much when he saw this. He asked Xiaocao to call Nanny Li and persuade the lady to go and have a rest.
"Madam, you should go and rest for a while. Don't worry too much and hurt your body."
"Madame Li." Wei Yang looked at Madame Li beside her and couldn't help asking, "The Emperor only has the Empress by his side, and no other concubines. How did this child get left behind?"
When the eunuch from the palace left, he quietly told Li Ma that the Empress's baby was almost miscarried. If you calculate, this child is about the same age as Wei Yang's child. If it really happened, the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress would be so sad!
Madam Li lowered her head and bent down to say softly, "Madam, who can tell clearly what is going on in the palace? Just because there is nothing now doesn't mean there won't be anything in the future."
The current emperor is the most supreme being, so how can there be only one woman in the harem, the Empress? His Majesty the Emperor marries a wife and concubines to continue the family line. Whether the Empress can keep this baby or not, the harem will have a new person!
Wei Yang lowered her eyes to look at her not-so-obvious belly, her eyes revealing a worry that she couldn't hide: "Madame Li, do you think that position is really that important? Is it so easy to get wealth and glory by exchanging your own daughter for it?"
She could imagine how the queen felt at the moment. She didn't know if she could keep the child, and she was going to have another woman enter the harem, not just one. If it were her, she would rather not have the position of queen.
"Madam, please be careful with your words. You must not say these words again." Madam Li said anxiously. She looked around and continued, "Madam's status is different from that of ordinary people. If others hear it, it will give people something to talk about."
Wei Yang hummed softly, and after a long moment, she sighed, "I know, but I just don't think it's worth it."
Nanny Li looked at Wei Yang who was looking down in deep thought. After all, she was too young and was still a child!
"Madam, General Yan is different. He takes you to heart. I wonder if Madam still remembers the two maids, Ruyi and Jixiang?"
Wei Yang looked up in confusion. It seemed that there were two such maids, and they were bestowed by the palace. Later, they got married one after another in Liuzhou.
"What happened to Ruyi Jixiang?"
"It is said that Ruyi Jixiang was given to you by the Empress Dowager, but actually it was given to the general." Seeing Wei Yang's surprised expression, Nanny Li felt lucky for her from the bottom of her heart. Some people are just born with good luck.
"When the Madam married General Yan, she was too young to consummate the marriage. The Queen Mother gave Ruyi Jixiang to you, thinking that since she was the one in her hands, she could control her in the future. She didn't dare to have any bad thoughts with you. Who knew that when they arrived in Liuzhou, Jixiang had her own ideas one night, and before she could get close to the general, she was taken away by Ding Wu."
Wei Yang opened her mouth slightly. She knew nothing about this matter.
Nanny Li continued, "Later, the general found out that the two maids were given to him by the Queen Mother, and even Ruyi was sent away."
"they?"
Wei Yang sighed slightly, stopped talking, and went back to her room for a nap.
She thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but she fell asleep the moment she touched the pillow. She didn't even have time to think about it.
