Zhao Xifang did want to get rid of Fang Youting's child, but she was not as stupid as Song Yirou.
Bribing a midwife can certainly kill someone, but it can also result in failure.
If you fail, you will be in big trouble.
What Zhao Xifang wanted was not only to succeed in one go, but also to avoid any trouble.
She deliberately went to quarrel with Prince Yu, "You want to ask her to be a concubine, isn't it because you want her to raise the child herself, and don't want to hand it over to me, the legal mother."
"Now I am planning to let the child live with her. If she thinks the place is too small, do I have to give her the main courtyard?"
"Do you think I'm a fool?" Prince Yu asked unhappily.
He was not the kind of person who favored his concubine over his wife. If Zhao Xifang had not been unable to give birth, he would not have elevated her to a higher position.
Zhao Xifang snorted coldly, "Your Majesty is not confused, but he is easily deceived."
"Shut up." Prince Yu prided himself on being wise and brave, so how could he bear the reputation of being a man who likes to listen to women's words
Zhao Xifang turned her head away angrily. She told him to shut up. She had said everything she wanted to say. It just depended on whether this damn man would be fooled or not.
Prince Yu lived up to her expectations. "The place she lives in is indeed not spacious. After having a child, it is even more cramped. Shushuizhai is good. Let her move there."
"You want her to live in Shushuizhai?" Zhao Xifang turned back suddenly and glared at Prince Yu, "I don't agree."
"I am not discussing this with you." Prince Yu said coldly.
"You're going too far! I want to go back to my parents' home." Zhao Xifang covered her face and ran out crying.
"I don't know what you mean." Prince Yu was not afraid of her threat and asked someone to tell Fang Youting that they would move to Shushuizhai the day after tomorrow.
The news that Prince Yu wanted to appoint a concubine as his concubine had not been spread out at first, but when Zhao Xifang returned to her parents' home for a short stay, all the government offices knew about it.
Although Jiang Changning did not associate with Zhao Xifang, based on her understanding of Zhao Xifang, she knew that Zhao Xifang was not such a helpless person. She ran back to her parents' home for a short stay, probably to retreat in order to advance.
This speculation was confirmed five days later.
A lady from Prince Yu's mansion had a miscarriage! It was a full-grown male fetus.
Although she didn't say it was that lady, Jiang Changning knew it must be Fang Youting.
"Princess, do you want someone to investigate why that lady had a miscarriage?" Xiaochun asked.
"This matter has nothing to do with us. There's no need to make things more complicated. Just keep an eye on Song Yirou." Jiang Changning didn't want to get involved in the dispute over wives and concubines in Prince Yu's mansion.
Zhuang Qingchan has successfully given birth to a child, but Song Yirou is still bribing the midwife, so who is she trying to deal with
Jiang Changning finished drinking the almond soup and touched his stomach. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind. Could it be that Song Yirou was going to deal with her? "Xiaochun."
"Princess, I'm here." Xiaochun put down her insole and responded.
"Spend a lot of money to bribe the people around Song Yirou and find out the real reason why Song Yirou wants to divorce." Jiang Changning said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Xiaochun took the order and went out.
Jiang Changning stared at the gently swaying bead curtain, his eyes slightly cold, "Song Yirou, if you want to hurt me again this time, I won't let you off easily anymore."
Last time, she just gave the other person a taste of his own medicine and didn't do anything extra.
If it is confirmed this time that Song Yirou wants to kill her and two more people, then she will send Song Yirou to death.
But she is pregnant now, and she feels that these harmful plans will corrupt the child.
"Ouch." Jiang Changning touched her belly. "Bad boy, you kicked me so hard, I'm going to beat you."
I patted my belly gently, and the baby in it kicked hard twice.
"Okay, stop kicking. I don't want to waste my energy. After I verify the matter, I'll tell your grandmother and cousin and let them think of a solution. Is that right?"
The Prince of Jin is not in the capital, so it would be best to let him send someone to handle this matter.
The baby in her belly seemed to understand and stopped kicking her belly.
"What a clever little baby." Jiang Changning said with a smile.
Jiang Changning took the letter, glanced at the secret mark on the bottom of the envelope, then opened it and began to read.
The letter from Prince Jin was filled with daily news. He greeted the Concubine Dowager, her, and the children.
I also took great interest in giving the child a bunch of names, both for boys and girls.
At the end of the letter is a love poem.
After reading the letter, Jiang Changning stood up and said, "Go to the study. I want to write a reply to the prince."
In her reply, Jiang Changning did not mention the investigation into Song Yirou, but wrote about Fang Youting's miscarriage in Prince Yu's Mansion and her suspicion of Zhao Xifang. She also told him not to be too busy and to take care of himself.
At the end of the letter, he also wrote a love poem.
Jiang Changning is not as talented as the King of Jin. She tampered with a modern poem: Although you are not by my side, you are always in my heart. Distance makes longing beautiful, and understanding gives the soul a refuge.
The happiest thing in life is to know you. I have someone to accompany me through all the seasons of this life.
It’s great to know you. Thank you so much for being in my life.
Seal the letter, write a secret mark on it, and give it to Xiulan, "and have someone deliver it to the prince."
"Yes, Princess." Xiulan took the letter and left.
The next day, the Gu family sent an invitation.
The one-year ban has passed. It was not appropriate to get married in June and July. Now it is almost August.
Gu Zhongjiao couldn't wait to marry Chen Dingding, and the second day of August was a good day.
Pregnant women need to avoid weddings and funerals, so Jiang Changning cannot go. Yan Yinyao, Zeng Mi and Princess Kang Ren are all in mourning, so naturally they cannot go either.
On the second day of August, the concubine went to the Gu family to attend the wedding banquet.
After the banquet, the concubine came back to discuss with Jiang Changning, "On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Zhongjiao will bring his new bride over. I want to hold a small banquet to entertain them."
"It is our duty to hold a banquet to entertain you, but the prince is not in the palace, so who will accompany my cousin?" Jiang Changning asked.
It is not convenient for the female members of the family to entertain the male guests.
The concubine thought for a moment and said, "How about letting the chief secretary entertain us?"
"Okay, let's have a banquet in the outer courtyard." Jiang Changning agreed.
On the fifth day, Gu Zhongjiao brought Chen Dingding to the palace.
It was Chen Dingding's idea to come to the palace as a guest.
Gu Zhongjiao was left in the outer courtyard, and Chen Dingding followed the old woman to the inner courtyard.
The spacious and elegant palace made Chen Dingding envious. She could have moved in, but unfortunately the prince was unwilling to take her as a concubine, so she missed out on this wealth and glory.
When they arrived at Liuxuan Courtyard, the servant reported: "Taifei, Princess, Second Madam Gu is here."
"Please let her in." A crisp voice came from inside.
Chen Dingding entered the east room and walked around the screen. She saw the concubine sitting on the throne and the beautiful young woman with a big belly sitting on the chair next to her.
Although Jiang Changning was pregnant, she was under the care of Nanny Feng. Although she was fatter than before the pregnancy, her body shape was evenly proportioned and not bloated.
After Chen Dingding saw Jiang Changning's appearance clearly, the resentment she had for not entering the palace disappeared.
Her appearance is not as beautiful as Jiang Changning.
Jiang Changning was pregnant and extremely beautiful, no wonder the King of Jin did not favor her because of her beauty.
Chen Dingding bowed honestly and said, "Greetings to the Concubine Dowager, greetings to the Princess. Greetings to the Concubine Dowager, greetings to the Princess."
