Chapter 556: Some are happy, some are worried

The emperor was indeed very happy about this, and once again placed his hopes on the crown princess Pei Shaorong.

If the crown princess can give birth to the prince's eldest son, it would be perfect!

The crown princess is pregnant, some are happy and some are worried!

The prince, who was confined to the Qinwang Mansion, smashed his study to pieces after hearing the news!

The prince was in high spirits, but he was confined!

However, thinking that his confinement would soon be over, the Qinwang calmed down and turned to the backyard.

He didn't believe it. Except for Pei Zhen, there was no other woman who could bear his son! He must have a son!

As for the child in the crown princess' belly, hehe, whether it can be born smoothly is still an unknown!

Of course, the Pei Mansion received the news first. Master Pei was very happy and completely relieved. But he was not completely relieved yet. Thinking about the situation of the royal family and the identity of his granddaughter, he became worried again.

If the baby in Arong's belly was a son, everyone would be happy. But if it was a daughter... Although she would not lose favor if she gave birth to a daughter, she was the Crown Princess. She had been married to the Crown Prince for so long and still did not have a legitimate son. You can imagine how much pressure she would be

under. Now the Crown Prince can still withstand the pressure and not take anyone in the backyard, but if the Crown Princess fails to have a son this time, it is unknown whether the Crown Prince can still hold on.

Some things are one thing to know, and it is another thing to truly accept.

Even Master Pei knew that as the crown prince, there couldn't be only three women in the backyard, but in his heart he still hoped that his granddaughter could be favored for a longer time.

Master Pei went to the ancestral hall after he came back.

The whole Pei Mansion was excited and happy because of the news, except for Aunt Zhao, whose face was distorted frighteningly and her eyes flashed with a terrifying light when she heard the news.

Aunt Zhao is no longer the spoiled and charming woman. Although Aunt Zhao

was of humble status in the past, she was accustomed to and pampered by others, and lived a more extravagant and glorious life than the main wife. The arrogance on her body was accustomed to, and the freshness on her face was pampered by others. She lived like a 29-year-old girl.

But now all her arrogance, complacency, willfulness and fearlessness have disappeared, replaced by haggardness, gloom and resentment. A few strands of silver can be seen faintly in her hair. Her clothes are as rich and gorgeous as usual, and she wears a red hairpin on her head, but she no longer has the glamorous feeling of the past.

"My Zhen'er is dead. How can Pei Shaorong still live well and give birth to the eldest son for the prince? They are all ladies of the Pei Mansion. My Zhen'er has lost her life. There is no reason for Pei Shaorong to live so gloriously..."

The maid in the room wanted to curl herself up into a ball and crawl into the cracks in the ground. In this way, she can't hear or see anything.

Aunt Zhao is not afraid of death, but they are!

Isn't Aunt Zhao cursing the Crown Princess?

It was more than a curse. Aunt Zhao had already developed a murderous intent in her heart. This murderous intent was born when she knew that Pei Zhen had framed the Crown Princess and was imprisoned in the Qinwang Mansion for only two days before the news of his death came out. However, this murderous intent has now become a reality.

Mrs. Pei even went to the East Palace for this reason, with a smile on her face that she couldn't hide.

After sending away the servants, Mrs. Pei asked about her life in the East Palace in detail, and finally stopped talking.

"Mother, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't hesitate."

Madam Pei said in a low voice: "Arong, you are pregnant now, and you are not suitable to serve the prince in the future... Do you understand what I mean?"

As a qualified wife, she should take the initiative to arrange concubines to serve her husband when she is pregnant. This is

the case for ordinary people, not to mention that she is the crown princess. Of course, she hopes that her daughter and son-in-law will only have each other, and no third person. But she also knows that this is impossible. That is the crown prince. Who dares to ask him to only stay with one woman? And this woman is pregnant now. She is pregnant for ten months. Can the crown prince not get close to a woman for ten months?

If it gets out, Arong will be drowned by people's spit!

So the best way now is to arrange a trustworthy person to serve the crown prince.

Pei Shaorong certainly understood, but she didn't plan to take the initiative to do it.

And even though the person who said this was her mother, she still felt unhappy. Although she understood that her mother meant well. She

felt that what Mu Hua said was right.

A woman worked hard to get pregnant, why would a man abandon her at this time and ask her to arrange for another woman to serve him in bed? What kind of nonsense is this?

It's just that they can't have sex for a few months, but they can't stand it? How did the man get by in those years before the marriage? It's already so hard for a woman to be pregnant, shouldn't a man be more considerate of a woman at this time? Why do women have to be considerate of men? Men

are human beings, but women are not, right?

Pei Shaorong didn't think so before. Even if she felt a little uncomfortable, she didn't dare to think so.

It's just that Xu Muhua said a lot, and she listened slowly. Thinking about it privately, she agreed more and more with what Xu Muhua said.

Moreover, it was the prince himself who promised. If she got pregnant, he would break his promise and look for other women. How could she trust him in the future? She

didn't agree in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She lowered her head and whispered: "Mother, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I know what I mean."

Madam Pei didn't doubt her. She never thought that Xu Muhua would often find the opportunity to instill some strange ideas into her daughter. It would be strange if she was not affected after a long time!

Not to mention that Pei Shaorong trusted Xu Muhua very much. Pei Shaorong would basically listen to and believe what she said, and never question it.

Madam Pei originally wanted to mention Aunt Zhao.

But thinking about her daughter in the East Palace and the many servants there, even if Aunt Zhao had long arms, she couldn't reach the East Palace. So she put the matter aside, not wanting to affect her daughter's mood.

As for other people, Madam Pei mentioned Master Pei.

In the entire Pei family, Pei Shaorong only cared about Master Pei, Madam Pei and Pei Huaiyuan. As long as the three of them were fine, it would be the best news for her.

Madam Pei sat in the East Palace for a long time before leaving. Before leaving, she gave some worried instructions. She was slightly relieved after Pei Shaorong's affirmative answer.
