On the day the Marquisate welcomed back its true young lady, the entire capital city waited to watch a show. They intended to make her marry in place of someone else? She, carrying the Crown Prince...
Chapter 250: Suspicion and Quarrel
Emperor Rongcheng was half-believing and half-doubting, but finally, under Jiang Xian's expectant eyes, he slowly put it into his mouth.
In an instant, a strange taste filled his mouth, making him almost nauseous.
However, looking at Jiang Xianhao's expectant eyes, he still didn't spit it out and forced himself to swallow it.
Then, he smiled sincerely, using all his acting skills, and said, "It tastes good."
Then, he quickly closed the lid of the food box.
Jiang Xianhao tried hard to hold back his laughter and then threw himself into the arms of Emperor Rongcheng.
"Since you like it, I'll make it for you next time."
Emperor Rongcheng quickly shook his head.
"No, no, no, no need. You'd better not go into the kitchen in the future."
Afterwards, Emperor Rongcheng changed his strategy.
Every few days, he would repeat to Jiang Xianhao that she was the only woman he would have in the future, that he only loved her, and that he would not take other concubines into the harem.
At the beginning, Jiang Xianhao naturally didn't take it to heart.
However, later, Emperor Rongcheng dragged her directly to the Empress Dowager's palace and said it over and over again in front of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was so angry that she smashed the table and had to agree. Only then did he stand up.
Afterwards, Jiang Xianhao truly believed his words and treated him even more wholeheartedly.
The two of them were in love with each other. Emperor Rongcheng even spent a huge amount of money to build a high-rise building just for Jiang Xianhao because he was bored.
This caused dissatisfaction among the court officials, who tried to persuade him many times, but Emperor Rongcheng simply refused to listen.
He just wanted to give Jiang Xian all the best things and couldn't bear to let Jiang Xian suffer any grievances.
He knew that Jiang Xian loved the hustle and bustle and freedom, which he couldn't give her, but he would do his best to give her the best.
And while the two were playing and fighting, Jiang Xianhao unexpectedly gave birth prematurely one day.
A day and a night later, Jiang Xianhao gave birth to Chen Hechuan.
Emperor Rongcheng waited outside for a whole day and night, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that both of them were fine.
Fortunately, although Shen Hechuan was born prematurely, he was very healthy.
Moreover, because Jiang Xianhao has a good physique, he is also bigger than other children of the same age.
This was originally a blessing, but in the eyes of Emperor Rongcheng, it had other meanings.
He always thought that Jiang Xianhao liked her childhood sweetheart, the former crown prince Li Wenci.
Moreover, he had seen with his own eyes that Li Wenci came out of Jiang Xianhao's room in a panic after getting a hangover.
At that time, he carefully prepared a hundred earthworms and excitedly brought them to Jiang Xian to show her, wanting her to go fishing with him.
But, I saw this scene.
This made him feel extremely upset and hopeless, and he finally dumped the hundred earthworms directly into the river.
At that time, he made up his mind to overthrow all of this.
When he successfully reached the pinnacle of power, the only person he wanted most was Jiang Xianhao.
So, he pretended nothing had happened and, regardless of Jiang Xianhao's wishes, forcibly locked her up in the palace.
Until, she agreed to be his queen.
However, now looking at this child that belonged to her and another man, Emperor Rong Cheng only felt more and more angry.
So, after that, he unknowingly spent less time visiting Jiang Xianhao.
However, Jiang Xianhao did not notice it at the time because he was accompanied by Shen Hechuan.
When Emperor Rongcheng came in, he saw that Jiang Xianhao was so devoted to doting on his son that he didn't even look at him, and he became jealous.
Whenever she looked at Shen Hechuan's little face, he couldn't help but doubt.
Jiang Xianhao wondered if he saw another person through this face.
This made him feel more and more uncomfortable and out of control.
Finally, the first quarrel broke out when Shen Hechuan was one year old.
In order to make Jiang Xianhao let go of Shen Hechuan, Emperor Rongcheng directly appointed Shen Hechuan as the crown prince, which was enough reason to forcibly take Shen Hechuan away.
Emperor Rongcheng pulled Shen Hechuan out of Jiang Xianhao's arms and ordered him to be sent to Shou'an Palace.
"The child is already grown up. You don't need to watch him every day now. You should let him grow up on his own. This will be beneficial to his future development."
Jiang Xianhao naturally refused.
“Shen Wanshan, are you crazy?”
"He's only one year old now and hasn't been weaned yet. If you ask him to leave me, he won't be able to bear it and will keep crying."
"Then let him cry. As a man, how can he always rely on his mother?"
“Don’t forget, he is the future crown prince, and as a crown prince, he needs to be responsible for education.
A loving mother often spoils her son. I will never allow our future Crown Prince Dacheng to develop a weak character."
Jiang Xianhao looked at Emperor Rong Cheng with a determined look on his face and naturally disagreed, so the two of them broke out into a fierce quarrel.
But in the end, Jiang Xianhao lowered his head because he was too worried about Chen Hechuan.
After that, Emperor Rongcheng ignored Jiang Xianhao's refusal and forced her onto the bed.
That was also the first time that Jiang Xianhao felt the helpless pain of being pinned down by someone.
After that, Jiang Xianhao could finally see Chen Hechuan every day, but he still had to be sent to Shou'an Palace at night.
Fortunately, although the Queen Mother looked stern, she was also kind-hearted and had been comforting Jiang Xianhao.
"Don't worry, this child will never be exposed in my hands. Just think of Hechuan as accompanying me.
My Shou'an Palace is deserted, but with Hechuan here, I feel at ease."
Jiang Xianhao nodded, but still couldn't stop the discomfort in his heart.
She couldn't understand why Emperor Rongcheng had such a sudden change of temperament and treated their children so cruelly.
Although the two seemed to have returned to normal after this, they no longer had the friendship they had before.
Jiang Xianhao also changed from his previous lively personality. He became quiet and often sat in the garden in a daze.
Emperor Rongcheng no longer acted servile around Jiang Xianhao. Sometimes when he came to see her, she would just look at him with eyes full of guilt and heartache, but she didn't know how to start.
The two fell into a silent cold war.
Until Jiang Xianhao became pregnant again.
This pregnancy eased the relationship between the two, but they could never go back to the way they were before.
When Shen Rongyang was born, Emperor Rongcheng was happy for a long time.
When the two looked at their beautiful and lovely daughter, it was as if they were back to the days when they were in love.
Emperor Rongcheng also changed his previous attitude and came to visit Shen Rongyang every day. He would even personally carry her to Wanhe Hall to handle state affairs.
He even feeds her himself.
The same goes for Jiang Xianhao. Both of them gave all their love to their daughter.
But every time at this time, Jiang Xianhao would think of his son.
So she visits her son every day.
But Emperor Rongcheng didn't know what was going on. Even so, he was dissatisfied and said that Shen Hechuan was already three years old. As the crown prince, he should treat him coldly and once again prevented Jiang Xianhao from meeting him.
The two quarreled again because of this.
