Chapter 86 A Blessing in Disguise
Liu Yueyao tightly gripped the chopsticks in her hand, as if she wanted to break them apart.
She finally understood what the old witch meant.
She wanted to go through the same suffering she had endured as a daughter-in-law again.
But Liu Yueyao married into this family to enjoy life, not to suffer.
She was spoiled by her parents since she was a child. Her mother couldn't bear to blame her at all. Why should she, a mother-in-law who had never raised her, be angry with her?
Liu Yueyao took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said with a smile: "That's because you gave birth to a good son, mother. He is kind and loves his wife. He doesn't want me to suffer any grievances."
As she spoke, she slowly stood up and bowed respectfully: "Thank you, mother, for teaching me so well."
As she spoke, she took Fu Zhixing's arm, and they smiled at each other with deep affection.
Dai put down her chopsticks, her face darkened, and she stared at Liu Yueyao solemnly: "It's good that I gave birth to a good son, but I hope to have a good daughter-in-law even more."
"Yueyao, Zhixing loves and protects you, so you should be more sensible. Since you have married into the Fu family, you should abide by the rules of the Fu family. Now Zhixing is a compiler in the Hanlin Academy, and your father-in-law is the Du Shuijian. If you are not polite, it will not only bring shame to our Fu family, but also to your father."
Liu Yueyao was so angry that her silver teeth shattered.
She was born into a family of rites and had been learning etiquette, poetry and books since childhood. If even she could not be considered a person with rules, then there would be very few people in this city who could be said to be polite and rule-abiding.
This old witch was clearly finding fault. She felt that she had finally managed to raise her daughter-in-law into a mother-in-law, and now it was her turn to torment her daughter-in-law.
But it was the second day after I got married, so I didn't want to argue with her. I was afraid that if it got to my father, he would definitely hold me accountable.
So she suppressed her anger and forced a smile: "Yes, my daughter-in-law knows."
The next day, Liu Yuetang went to the Weiyang Palace to pay her respects.
The Queen looked at her carefully and said with concern, "I see that you are still a little pale."
Liu Yuetang nodded slightly and said softly, "It's because I'm too weak."
Mingpin smiled leisurely: "It's not that you are too weak, it's that Yu was too harsh."
"Fortunately, she has been brought to justice, and you have been promoted to Concubine. It can be considered a blessing in disguise."
Liu Yuetang lowered her eyes sadly, with sadness in her eyebrows and eyes.
Concubine Yu smiled lazily while holding her teacup, "I heard that the Emperor has even lost the eldest prince."
Mingpin chuckled: "She has such a vicious mother. When the emperor sees her, he will think of Yu. How can he still love her as before?"
"Alright, don't speculate about the emperor."
After saying this, the Queen looked at Liu Yuetang again and said, "Xi Jieyu, although this incident is related to the eldest prince, he was also deceived and used by the Yu family. I hope you can forgive him. After all, he is just a child."
Liu Yuetang smiled faintly: "The eldest prince was originally unaware of this, and this concubine will not blame him."
Liu Yuetang smiled coldly in her heart. She was not a saint and could not tolerate someone who had hurt her.
After leaving Weiyang Palace, Su Nanqing held Liu Yuetang's hand without saying a word, her beautiful face looking as if it had been frozen.
Liu Yuetang smiled and said, "What's wrong? You look unhappy."
Su Nanqing frowned: "Listen to what they say, they are talking without any pain until the incident happens to them. You are injured and you will not be able to have your own children in the future. Not to mention the position of Jieyu, even the position of Concubine cannot make up for the pain in your heart."
"And the Queen, she..."
The words were still in her throat, before she could utter them, her lips were gently pressed by Liu Yuetang's fingertips.
"Sister, please be careful with your words here."
"The concubines in the palace are all those who gloat over other people's misfortunes. As for the Queen...she is in a position and must do her job. Regardless of whether she is sincere or not, there are some things she must say."
Su Nanqing sighed: "That being said, I really feel sorry for you. The emperor may favor you now, but after many years, he may also favor others. Only offspring are the only support for us women in the deep palace."
Liu Yuetang looked ahead in a daze: "Sister, for me. In this world, the only person I can truly rely on is myself. Everyone is changing, but the love I have for myself will never change."
"And right now... I really can only rely on myself." Liu Yuetang's flat voice carried a hint of helplessness and bitterness.
"It doesn't matter……"
Su Nanqing held Liu Yuetang's hand and smiled warmly, like the breeze in March in the south of the Yangtze River.
"And me, we are sisters. When I have a child, my sister will be his mother."
Liu Yuetang looked at her in a daze.
She continued, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to advance further. If I have a child, I won't be able to raise it even if I advance two levels."
"Rather than leaving it to someone else to raise, I would rather it be you, my sister."
Liu Yuetang was shocked: "I am just a concubine."
Su Nanqing smiled and said, "Then we will go and ask the emperor for help. The emperor already dotes on you, and to make up for you, he will surely give you a higher position and raise the child under your knees."
"When the time comes, we will raise him together."
It sounds wonderful, but Liu Yuetang knows that adopting a child is not that simple.
Not to mention whether someone will interfere or Su Nanqing will suddenly feel reluctant to leave.
Having a child alone is extremely difficult.
In the harem, it is difficult to conceive a child, and even more difficult to give birth to one.
However, she was still very grateful that Su Nanqing could say these words at this time.
No matter how sincere she was, at least she thought so at that moment.
Then she raised her lips and smiled, gentle and charming.
"Okay, then I hope our dream will come true soon."
After separating from Su Nanqing, Liu Yuetang slowly walked back to Jinxiu Pavilion, but met You Yunu who was picking hibiscus on the way.
She stood on a high rockery, smiling as she picked hibiscus flowers and put them into the bushes.
Liu Yuetang raised her head and called out, "You Yunu~"
You Yu-nu lowered her eyes and the moment she saw Liu Yuetang's beautiful face, her face turned pale and she almost fell. Fortunately, the palace maid beside her held her firmly.
Liu Yuetang chuckled and covered her lips, saying, "I'm not a tiger, why is You Yunu so scared of me?"
Afraid that Liu Yuetang would find fault, You Yunv hurriedly walked down with the help of the palace maid and saluted Liu Yuetang respectfully.
"My concubine...I greet Concubine Xi."
Liu Yuetang raised her eyebrows slightly, and her gentle voice contained an imperceptible sense of danger: "After staying in the palace for a long time, Miss You has learned the rules better and better."
"If your sister Jiang and cousin had known better, they wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable situation."
When these two people were mentioned, You Yu's face turned even uglier, and she knelt down in fear. "Xi Jieyu, Xi Jieyu... I have no idea what Yu did. She is just my cousin, we are not related at all. Can you please be magnanimous and let me go?"
Her lips trembled and her eyes were filled with fear and anxiety.
She was really scared. Jiang and Yu had both met with disaster when they went against her. Some went crazy, and some died.
Instead, she rose step by step, and in just one year she was promoted from an eighth-rank imperial concubine to a fourth-rank concubine.
I have always been at odds with her, and when she was in trouble, I also stepped on her a few times.
I'm afraid she will come down to deal with me.
Now that she has no favor or backing, it would be easy for her to take action.
Liu Yuetang snorted softly, and opened her red lips slightly: "Why are you kneeling down for no reason, You Yunu? If others saw it, they would think I bullied you."
"No...no...it's just that I did something wrong in the past. I knelt voluntarily. It has nothing to do with Concubine Jieyu."
Liu Yuetang didn't even look at her. She raised her hand to stroke the pearls hanging from her temples and said calmly, "Since you like to kneel, then kneel down. It would be best if you kneel for two hours."
After saying this, Liu Yuetang walked forward with lotus steps, her skirt fluttering gently in the wind, swaying gracefully, her elegance exuding a cool and elegant aura.
