Chapter 256 Jealousy
Chen Wan was almost pushed into the water in the palace. Princess Kang came to apologize, and the next morning, the emperor also sent someone to deliver a reward.
In addition to the nourishing bird's nest and cordyceps, there were also four large Dong pearls, a box of small Dong pearls, a pearl necklace, a pair of jade bracelets, and four pieces of Yunjin and Shujin brocade...
There were so many things that even Chen Wan was flattered.
If it was because Princess Shouzhen bumped into Princess Yunluan and almost knocked her into the lotus pond, half of the reward would not be too little. After all, she escaped unharmed, and Prince Kang's Mansion had already apologized.
The one who came to deliver the reward was Eunuch An. Shen Wan couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking, so she asked directly, "Why did the emperor suddenly reward me with so many things?"
Shen Wan couldn't guess, and Eunuch An didn't dare to guess, so he just smiled and said, "The emperor's reward is naturally what the prince and princess deserve."
Chen Wan also knew that the emperor would not reward anyone casually, but it would be fine if he rewarded Xie Jingyu. After all, Xie Jingyu could help the emperor with his work. What kind of virtue did she have?
Moreover, these were all her things, and she didn’t give them to Xie Jingyu as a reward.
After Eunuch An left, Shen Wan rummaged through a pile of rewards for a long time before finding a jade pendant worn by a man.
Xie Jingyu, “…”
Your Majesty, that’s enough.
It would be better not to take this jade pendant with you.
Looking at the jade pendant in Shen Wan's hand, a certain master inexplicably felt as if he had already lived the life of a prince consort in advance...
Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu, "Why did the emperor reward me?"
Shen Wan couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking, and Eunuch An didn't dare to guess, but Xie Jingyu was different.
Not only did he dare to guess, he could also guess it.
Xie Jingyu held his forehead and said, "You are pregnant. The emperor has not committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, but you must not be rewarded."
Shen Wan, “…”
This was clearly a joke on her.
Shen Wan snorted and said, “The emperor even rewarded you.”
Xie Jingyu put his arm around Chen Wan's waist and asked, "Don't you think your husband has any merit at all?"
Shen Wan, “…”
I can see it.
A little credit.
The emperor rewards according to merit.
Chen Wan dreamed of the emperor, and Xie Jingyu rescued him in time. The emperor dreamed of Chen Wan, and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory said it was a pregnancy dream, and it turned out to be true...
If Shen Wan dreamed it was fake, but if the emperor dreamed it, it was most likely true.
This is not an ordinary thing.
The emperor urged him to work hard, which showed that he really hoped that Shen Wan could get pregnant. Now that she is really pregnant, how could the emperor not reward her?
Although Shen Wan had never lacked these things, the rewards from the emperor were different, and Shen Wan was very happy.
But in the Jingbei Palace, apart from the princess and the fourth lady who were happy for her, no one else was happy.
If Chen Wan fell into the water and suffered miserably, it would have been fine if the emperor had rewarded her. However, Chen Wan did not fall into the water, and even Princess Yunluan did not touch a single hair of hers. Princess Kang had already come to apologize, and the emperor still sent so much consolation.
Even generals who have made great contributions on the battlefield may not receive such great rewards!
The Ministry of Revenue complains about the empty treasury every day, and the Emperor is still trying to be frugal with his spending. The Crown Princess has the Yun family, which is rich enough to rival a country. Does she need money?
Can't the Emperor spend his money wisely?!
Tyrant ruler!
Everyone was envious and jealous and cursed the emperor in their hearts.
But the most angry ones were not Concubine Wen and the others. When Empress Song learned that the emperor had rewarded Chen Wan so much, she was so angry that her nose was crooked.
Princess Shouzhen was almost crying with anger, "Even if I really pushed the Jingbei Prince's wife into this, my father wouldn't have to reward her with so many things!"
"Father has always liked the Crown Prince's Consort of Jingbei, and even more so now!"
"Who is the emperor's daughter?!"
When Princess Shouzhen was crying, Queen Song was so angry that she rubbed her temples, but when she heard the last sentence, she suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Princess Shouzhen.
"What did you just say?!"
The sound was so loud that it scared Princess Shouzhen.
Princess Shouzhen pouted and said, "I said that my father doesn't love his daughter at all..."
"Repeat what you just said."
Princess Shouzhen had already forgotten what she had just said.
Queen Song was so angry.
How could she have given birth to such a useless daughter? Not only did she mess things up, but she couldn't even remember what she said.
Even if the other palace maids and nannies remembered it, they didn't dare to say anything.
You can't eavesdrop when your master is talking.
When working in the palace, one does not seek to achieve merit but to avoid mistakes.
Queen Song felt that she was being too suspicious. She didn't believe that Duke Dingguo would dare to commit the death penalty that would punish nine generations of his clan.
Besides, in Prince Kang’s Mansion, the Emperor rewarded Chen Wan, so he must also reward Princess Yunluan and those who left the palace together.
Originally, the emperor rewarded Princess Yunluan with several pieces of silk, a pair of gold hairpins and supplements, which made her very happy. However, there was no gap without comparison. Knowing that the emperor rewarded Chen Wan ten times as much as she did, Princess Yunluan threw the gold hairpin awarded by the emperor away out of jealousy.
She fell into the lotus pond and was unable to attend the palace banquet. She caught a cold when she came back, and in the end, the reward she received was not as much as that of the Prince of Jingbei's Consort!
However, what made Shen Wan happiest that day was not the numerous rewards sent by the Emperor, but that in the evening, when she was feeding the koi in the pavilion, Yin Chuan came over and reported, "Prince's Consort, my aunt was divorced by the Liu family..."
My aunt Shen Huirong was divorced, which was both unexpected and expected.
The old lady is still ambitious and does not want the eldest son's family to have an easy life. She repeatedly tries to arrange a marriage for the eldest brother and wants to force the daughter of the Liu family to marry him.
Shen Huirong brought her niece to Beijing, but she failed to become the wife of the prince of Dingguo as she wished. Instead, she lost her virginity to a servant of her eldest brother. It would be strange if the Liu family could accept this result.
Upon receiving the news, Madam Liu was so angry that she almost died on the spot.
Madam Liu was so angry that she wanted to skin Shen Huirong and her daughter alive.
Shen Ji drove Shen Huirong and her daughter out of Duke Dingguo's Mansion and returned to the Liu family in disgrace. Shen Wan knew that Shen Huirong would not have a good ending, but she did not expect that she would be divorced directly.
Coral asked, "Why was you divorced?"
Yinchuan took two steps closer and whispered, "It's said that my aunt was having an affair with someone and was caught red-handed..."
...The Liu family picked a crime that fits the old lady's temperament from a bunch of reasons for divorce.
Just because the old lady murdered her own sister for fame and fortune, the second master kept a mistress, and Shen Xun had an affair with his cousin's wife, no one would suspect that Shen Huirong was framed for having an affair.
Although he was framed, Shen Wan would not sympathize with him. If the old lady and her daughter had not set their sights on the eldest brother, none of this would have happened.
The old lady's crime was exposed, and the Duke Dingguo's Mansion was no longer Shen Huirong's support. In addition, she only had one daughter, so how could the Liu family be merciful in their revenge on her?
It’s a pity that the old lady has been beheaded in public. If she were to see her divorced daughter in the next few days, she would die with regrets.
Shanhu asked again, "What about the cousin from the Liu family?"
Yin Chuan said, "I heard that the Liu family promised her to a ruthless bully who indulges in drinking, whoring, gambling, and other evil things. She's going to suffer in the future..."
When dogs bite each other, both get a mouth full of fur.
The Liu family is not a good family either.
Shen Wan continued to feed the fish.
The setting sun shines on the lotus pond, as if sprinkling a pool of broken gold.
