He Zhuo, the youngest daughter of the Irgen Gioro family, was bestowed a marriage to the 'Eldest Prince' of Emperor Kangxi's lineage.
Her story is about diligently raising childre...
The group of people praised each other, making it quite lively.
When women get together, talking about clothes and jewelry is the safest thing to do, and it's also something they're generally interested in.
The Third Princess Consort wore pink and white roses in her hair, which must have been newly cultivated in the greenhouse.
He Zhuo also dressed up today. Since leaving the palace, the seal on his body was broken. Nourished by spiritual energy, He Zhuo felt very comfortable, so he has been a little lazy these past two days.
Although He Zhuo only wore a simple two-bun hairstyle and was decorated with palace flowers, her crescent-white qipao still made her look exceptionally beautiful.
The other two had already noticed and thought to themselves: No wonder the master has always doted on his first wife these past few years.
"There is a lotus pond here, and the flowers are all in bud. I estimate that in about a month we will be able to see the scene of 'lotus leaves stretching to the sky, an endless expanse of green, and lotus flowers blooming red under the sun.'"
"In August, we can go boating and pick lotus pods." The Third Princess Consort was a beloved legitimate daughter at home and was very skilled at these kinds of games.
“Okay, then the three of us will be together,” Li Fujin agreed.
"I'm afraid my sister-in-law can't have it." The Third Princess looked at Hezhuo's belly with an expression that said: It's such a pity you can't have it.
"Hmm, let's wait until next year. We'll do it together next year." He Zhuo gently tapped the Third Princess's forehead.
Li Fujin felt a fleeting envy when she looked at Hezhuo's belly, but it quickly passed. The Crown Prince treated her well, and now that she was 18, she was in her prime. With proper care, she would definitely be able to get pregnant again.
The Third Prince's wife also set up a separate small table for the princesses. He Zhuo brought Princess Fan, and Li Fujin brought Princess Liu, who was the Crown Prince's daughter. They were entertained by Princess Tian, who was the Third Prince's daughter.
When the wives of princes went out to social events, they would usually bring along the princesses and concubines, so the princesses also had their own social circles.
Princess Fan and Princess Tian of the Third Master had met a few times and were fairly familiar with each other. However, the princesses in the Crown Prince's mansion rarely came out, as they were more interested in Princess Liu of the Crown Prince.
Actually, she was just interested in the Crown Prince's harem; women are always gossipy.
So the two of them started talking about Liu Gege. However, Liu Gege was a shrewd woman and knew that the affairs inside Yuqing Palace could not be told to outsiders. So the two princesses did not get any useful information and only talked about jewelry.
"Why didn't the Crown Prince's Consort Li come today?" Consort Tian said.
"Li Gege is seven months pregnant. We're worried about any potential mishaps, so please focus on your pregnancy and rest." Liu Gege's words were perfectly tactful.
When Tian Gege heard that she was pregnant, she couldn't help but feel a little envious.
She was given to the Third Prince by Consort Rong. She was already 16 when she entered the Prince's quarters two years ago. Her father was a clerk in the Imperial Household Department, selected through the imperial concubine selection process. Although the Third Prince had some affection for her, beauty fades quickly, and she wanted to have a son while the Third Prince was still young. If she gave birth to the Third Prince's eldest son, it would be impossible for her to be made a concubine.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh. In their area, besides the Fujin (principal wife), they also had to drink contraceptive medicine. I heard that it was the master who ordered it, and Consort Hui had tried to stop the contraceptive medicine several times.
Even after the First Consort had given birth to a legitimate son, the Master still did not stop administering contraceptive medicine in the inner quarters.
This shows how much the old man loved his first wife.
They were here on the orders of Consort Rong. The Third Prince is filial and would not disobey the Consort. So now she is hoping that the Third Prince's wife will give birth to a prince soon. Only if the Third Prince's wife gives birth to a prince will they have any hope of having children.
Although Princess Fan has two daughters, she still wants a son. She came to the garden this time hoping that the master could stop taking the contraceptive medicine.
The atmosphere became somewhat subdued when the topic of pregnancy came up. But when Tian Gege, as the hostess, started describing the scenery in the garden, the atmosphere livened up again.
……
The group laughed and joked until the sun grew higher and it was almost noon before they dispersed.
