Chapter 435: Do Not Define Yourself
"I know," the prince's mind had been on Concubine Li before. He didn't know since when, he saw that even though his own Crown Princess was very disciplined and he didn't like her, he could see the sacrifices she made for him. With this in mind, and comparing her with Li, who had never worried about him, the comparison came out all at once. The prince was not without sadness in his heart, but perhaps he had seen too much, and he didn't feel much angry. He just gradually neglected that side. Concubine Li still had what she should have, after all, she gave birth to two princes.
It was not for the sake of Li as a concubine, but just to save face for the two princes.
"My Lord, do you have any good things here?" The Crown Princess didn't want to say anything more, so she quickly changed the subject and asked with a smile.
"It was given to me by my father," the prince compiled a book of various precautions that my father had compiled to help with pregnancy, "It came from my ninth brother's wife. My father consulted the imperial physician, and some of the food was approved, but a large part was not, but there was no harm."
The Crown Princess was a little confused, but her eyes lit up after she took it, "Is it helpful for pregnancy? Is it the secret method of the Dong E family?"
"..."Secret method? The prince was stunned for a moment, and rejected it decisively. If the Dong E family had this, Concubine Dong E would not have only one prince. "This was obtained by my ninth brother's wife from a traveling doctor. It is harmless, so I told my ninth brother."
The prince actually hadn't seen it either. The two looked at it one by one, "No wonder they said it's harmless. Is it about time? I'll have someone sort out the food later. Let's all pay attention to it recently."
The Crown Princess blushed a little and didn't dare to look at the Crown Prince. Some of the words were too straightforward. "Okay." This must have been written by the Ninth Brother's wife. It was too straightforward.
The Crown Prince held the Crown Princess's hand and looked out the door. He was not as shy as the Crown Princess and did not feel that the atmosphere was going to heat up. He even ordered someone to prepare dinner and then continued, "Once we have this booklet, the Emperor will have it spread out."
The heat on the Crown Princess's face faded away a little. She closed the book and looked towards the Crown Prince, just in time to see his profile. She lowered her head and saw the Crown Prince holding her hand, with a smile in her eyes. She felt much better now than before. At least the Crown Prince saw her and no longer had only Li in his eyes.
This is enough, how can I still have any false thoughts?
People, don’t be too greedy!
"No one can surpass my status in the Emperor's heart. But what if I can't... get pregnant?" The Crown Princess stroked her belly with her left hand. What if her belly didn't work?
She was a little afraid of disappointing the prince. She was respected by the prince now. If she couldn't get pregnant, she was afraid that she would lose this respect again. She would also disappoint the emperor, make others laugh at her, and bring shame to the Guarjia family.
The prince withdrew his gaze from outside and looked at his own princess beside him. What was there to worry about?
"You are not pregnant now, and having this thing is just a pleasant surprise. If you can get pregnant, we will be happy, and if not, there will be no loss." The prince felt that his princess was thinking too much, and it was useless to worry about these things, as it was already like this.
"..." The Crown Princess looked up at her own Crown Prince. Seeing his expression, she was immediately speechless. "You are right, Master. I was overthinking."
Qiusi was outside and heard the conversation inside the house. He looked at He Zhu from the Prince's family. Neither of them said anything. They just looked straight at the night sky. For some things, silence is the best answer.
Qiusi felt that the conversation between his master and the prince was irrelevant, and the two were not talking about the same point. But now it is good, at least they can communicate.
Qiu Si recalled the conversation between his master and the prince in the past:
The prince looked at his master solemnly, "Hmm~"
"Your Highness, are you ready to go to bed?" his master asked cautiously.
"Can!"
And then there was nothing else. It was either a conversation between the prince and his master after something happened, or it didn't sound like a conversation between a couple. It felt like the master was talking to her.
Don't expect too much. Qiusi is still grateful to the Ninth Concubine. Her master is very stubborn, but he has learned something from the Ninth Concubine. Although the changes are not much, at least he can get along with the Prince to the same level as now.
In the Third Prince's residence, the Third Master and his wife were lying on recliners in the courtyard enjoying the cool air. The fans from the two houses around them and a basin of ice in front of them were fanning them from time to time. "Is Ninth Brother's wife pregnant? Your Dong'e family is really unmatched in this regard. You can get pregnant soon after the wedding."
"That's right. Regardless of whether the baby is a boy or a girl, at least she can get pregnant. Didn't Silly Yao say to wait two years?" The Third Lady raised her eyebrows slightly. "Master, do you have any problem with the Dong E family?"
"Not really. The truth about the Dong E Consort incident in the Imperial Palace is known to everyone who really knows. I didn't care and just said it casually. Shu Yin, you care a lot." The Third Master turned his head to look at his wife. "Am I right? But looking at my Ninth Brother's wife, she doesn't seem to care about people mentioning the Dong E Consort incident. I feel like she's a little bit proud of it for some reason."
The Third Lady sighed heavily, tilted her head, and looked into the eyes of the Third Master, "You are talking about Silly Yao. She is not smart, nor does she not care. She just thinks that the one who cares more about this than our Dong E family should be the Emperor. Those people keep mentioning Concubine Dong E to remind the Emperor of his status in the eyes of the Emperor. As soon as Silly Yao thinks about it, I know what she is thinking, haha..."
"There's nothing wrong with thinking this way. Ninth brother's wife is very smart, so don't keep calling her a fool," Third Master laughed. "However, since Ninth brother's wife got pregnant, no one can attack her anymore."
"It's just that those who are jealous of Silly Yao are making all kinds of high-sounding excuses over there. They are really meddling in other people's business and have nothing to do when they have nothing to do," said the Third Lady with disdain. They are always staring at other people's backyards. They are not censors. It can even be said that most of the rumors attacking Silly Yao were spread by women.
In the words of Shazi Yao, apart from the restrictions on women throughout the Qing Dynasty, many of the harm suffered by the attacked women came from other women themselves.
"That's right. For example, seeing that my backyard is stable now and I have all my children, people are jealous. Some people attack me in the court, saying that I condone the harm to the princesses and illegitimate sons and daughters, and that I have nothing better to do than to have nothing better to do," the Third Master couldn't help complaining. All the grown men were staring at his backyard. What did his backyard have to do with them? They didn't allow them to favor him!
The Third Lady glanced at the Third Master, then turned her head to look at the starry sky. It was indeed her fault, and she had never regretted it. She always believed that if she wanted to have something, she had to fight for it, whether it was good or bad. She never defined herself by good or bad, and she had always been a person who would do anything to achieve her goals.
