Chapter 303: Sometimes you are... quite manly!

The waterside pavilion on the pond of Shunguo Mansion stands in a corner of Lanyuan.

The pond is full of lotus flowers.

The buds are not yet open. The water is clear and you can see the bottom.

Yu Tingwan holds a bag of fish food in her hand, leaning on the railing, throwing small handfuls down, and the fish scramble to eat.

Shunzi came with news from the palace again: "The Crown Princess almost had a miscarriage. If it is a boy, it will be the eldest son left by the crown prince. The Queen Mother protects the Crown Princess very closely and has never let her leave the palace."

Even the food and drinks, and the calming incense in the palace, have to be checked one by one, for fear that someone will poison them.

"Concubine Li is pregnant with a dragon seed, and the emperor is afraid of conflicts, so he ordered it. She didn't mourn much, just went there every day to burn incense."

Concubine Li?

Yu Tingwan spent a lot of time thinking about who this person is.

! ! !

The concubine who had an affair with the young guard and cheated on Emperor Ying Qian.

Emperor Ying Qian really loved her!

After all, he had a son who died.

Although Emperor Ying Qian was old, he was still strong! He was still looking forward to Concubine Li giving him a prince!

Shunzi said, "They are all pregnant, but there are also distinctions between high and low."

"Crown Princess, you don't know, Miss Shen's sister-in-law is two months pregnant, and she hasn't even had a stable pregnancy yet. She has to go to the East Palace to kneel and worship every day."

"And the granddaughter-in-law of the Lu family is six months pregnant, and she dare not relax even with a big belly. She can only take pregnancy-stabilizing medicine one dose at a time."

So what if she is pregnant? Not worshiping the crown prince is disrespectful to the royal family.

Yu Tingwan frowned and said nothing.

Shunzi added, "The two ladies have been in such a state for several days that their faces have turned pale. Not only do they not dare to cry out when they are uncomfortable, they are afraid that they will have a miscarriage in the East Palace. If they see blood in front of the coffin, it will bring more bad luck to the East Palace."

This is a serious crime!

Although the words are unpleasant to hear,

this is the rule of the older generation.

No one thinks it is wrong.

"In the end, Princess Jiashan couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked the Queen Mother to change a more comfortable kneeling cushion for them."

"Mrs. Shen's sister-in-law had severe morning sickness, and it was thanks to Miss Shen who secretly stuffed some sour dates into her sleeves. Otherwise, she would have vomited and made a noise, even if it was excusable, but the Queen would still be unhappy."

Yu Tingwan:...

Yu Tingwan: "I understand."

"The Queen herself lost a son, and she is old and can't have another child, so she can't stand seeing a young pregnant woman doing well."

"She doesn't want to do more good for the crown prince, but she puts on airs as a member of the royal family. Such a person is praised by the public for her virtue. Yes, after all, it's just a rumor, and it's not credible."

Shunzi nodded!

He felt that what the Crown Prince said was right!

"Yes!"

He was a vulgar person, and he hadn't read for a few years. He couldn't say the word "sanctimonious".

Shunzi: "People outside say that the crown prince is kind. Bah!"

Although the person is dead, saying these...

Oh, Shunzi has a bad character, I don't think there is anything wrong with it!

"The crown prince was once outdone by the fifth prince, and was reprimanded by the emperor. In addition to being unhappy, the servant who had served him for more than 20 years accidentally knocked over a teacup, and only got some water stains on his sleeves, but he executed him directly."

"He did a lot of shameful things in private."

Yu Tingwan shook her head.

Thinking of the two pregnant women, she glanced in the direction of the palace.

"The royal family must be more noble."

Wei Zhao came over at this time.

He didn't know where he came from, and there was still morning dew on his body.

"That depends on the person."

He still had a warm paper bag in his hand.

"The second prince's wife hasn't finished her confinement yet, and she has already reported."

If you don't sit well during confinement, you will get sick.

Shunzi bowed to Wei Zhao and quickly left with Tan Jiang.

Yu Tingwan sat down and saw that she was the wife of the lame prince.

Wei Zhao: "The Shen and Lu families want to protect her, but how dare they ask for it?"

The young lady of the Shen family is not pregnant yet, so it's fine. The young lady of the Lu family was pregnant.

Could the empress be blind? They

just think they should kneel and worship! If

they don't mention it, how dare the people below say anything?

Wei Zhao told Yu Tingwan: "The Lu family was originally a noble family, glorious for several generations, and their descendants are also very capable. When Ying Fuyan's father, Prince Yan, got into trouble, the old man of the Lu family went to the palace to plead for him and was beaten to death. Afterwards, the Lu family fell into decline."

Under the emperor, no matter how capable you are, you are still an ant. Life and death are just a matter of his thoughts.

Yu Tingwan was shocked.

Wei Zhao: "As for the second prince..."

He said lightly: "He was lame because he fell off the horse to save the emperor. The dog emperor is more or less guilty. If he speaks up, the second prince's wife won't have to suffer this."

But this guilt will be consumed.

"It's just that the husband doesn't want to spend money on his first wife, thinking it's not worth it."

Yu Tingwan said contemptuously: "The second prince's wife is unlucky to marry him and give birth to his children."

The girl was always very poisonous.

"In the countryside, no girl is willing to marry a cripple. He can't do farm work and it's hard to support the family."

"He can marry a wife only because of his status as a prince. He can have enough food, but this is the capital. If he is not careful, he will be swallowed up if he is not capable."

How could the emperor not know that the second prince's wife was still in confinement? It's just that he didn't care, or more accurately, he didn't care enough about his son.

"Can he be valued by the emperor, or can he have a chance to compete with the fifth prince for the throne with his broken body?"

"If you want to avoid being left out, you have to lick the emperor."

"If the emperor dies, go lick the next one."

"He's already lame, and it's his blessing that he's not despised by the second prince's wife. He doesn't take the person next to him seriously, but the second prince takes himself too seriously."

Very good.

Not a single dirty word.

After all, it's someone else's business, and it will be over after talking about it.

Yu Tingwan sniffed.

"What is this?"

She smelled an alluring aroma!

"The crispy bone fish from Zui Zhailou."

Wei Zhao said lightly: "Go wash your hands."

Yu Tingwan went there.

Yes.

In the past few days, whenever Wei Zhao went out, he would bring her some meat and vegetables for her to cook. No matter

who suffers, Yu Tingwan's mouth must not suffer.

When Yu Tingwan came back after washing her hands, Wei Zhao opened the paper bag and put it on the stone table.

Yu Tingwan picked up a piece.

"Husband."

She was very serious!

Wei Zhao's eyelids jumped for no reason when he saw her like this.

Yu Tingwan thought for a while.

She hadn't said sweet words for a long time!

Especially at this critical moment.

Compared with the powerlessness of the Shen family and the Lu family, she can be free and easy in the Shunguo Mansion.

And the indifference of the second prince's first wife.

Yu Tingwan: "Sometimes you are quite manly!"

She sighed sincerely.

From the bottom of her heart.

If dad hadn't died, and the things that happened later hadn't happened. She was carefree and had never tasted pain. Even if her aesthetic taste was distorted, and Wei Zhao was not dark and burly, she thought, she would like him.

Wei Zhao had a blank expression on his face.

He didn't want to hear this compliment.

Yu Tingwan thought he didn't believe it, and cleared her throat: "Really."

Wei Zhao was speechless: "But I... isn't it?"
