Chapter 170 The Emperor is Still Generous
Half a month later, the prince's family was confined to the clan house, and even his son and daughter were not spared.
Only Concubine Shen was sent to Huangjue Temple to pray for a safe pregnancy because she was pregnant.
"Master, Madam Song is here."
Zhu Xin came over excitedly and said, "Mrs. Song also brought a lot of gifts."
"My mother is here?"
Just as Shen Lingshu was about to get up, Song Fanghua came in, led by Liu Si. When she saw Shen Lingshu's bulging belly, she hurriedly said, "Shu'er, you are pregnant. Sit still."
"Mom, why are you here?"
Shen Lingshu asked curiously, "Are you going to the Shen family's manor?"
"Mom came to see you specially."
Song Fanghua looked at her with a smile and asked, "Are you vomiting because of morning sickness? Are you feeling well? Where are An An and Bei Bei?"
Her series of questions made Shen Lingshu couldn't help but smile, and said: "Mom, you ask so many questions at once, I don't know which one to answer. I am in this imperial manor, eating well, sleeping well, it can't be better."
"An An and Bei Bei are fine too. They just finished their meal and went to sleep."
Shen Lingshu added, and then asked: "Look at your mother's appearance, she looks so happy, is there something good going on?"
"Is it that obvious?"
Song Fanghua touched her face, and she said happily: "Shu'er, the prince has been abolished, Shen Lingyi can no longer show off, and Madam Yu is like an eggplant hit by frost. Your father is trying to please me in a thousand ways."
"Look, these things were prepared for you by your father who opened a warehouse."
Song Fanghua showed off the gifts she brought, some for Shen Lingshu, some for the twin sisters, and some for the twins in her belly.
From fabrics to jewelry, from toys to high-quality and precious medicinal materials, there is a wide variety of goods, it can be used as a grocery store.
"Oh, is this heavy bleeding?"
Shen Lingshu picked up a piece of cloth casually, which was also high-quality soft smoke cloth and was very valuable.
"Your father thinks His Royal Highness Prince Lin is capable of..." Song Fanghua pointed to the spot above her head and said, "Of course he's eager to please him. I've also benefited from it. Now I live a very comfortable life in the mansion."
"Also, your father also sent a batch of medicinal herbs to your brother Xinghe. Although serving in the army in the north is a bit difficult, with these herbs and food, your brother's life will not be too bad."
"Shu'er, all this is thanks to you."
Song Fanghua looked at Shen Lingshu's flower-like face and asked, "Shu'er, are you happy?"
Song Fanghua's eyes were full of worry.
Shen Lingshu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course I am happy. The prince treats me very well. I have endless silver, clothes and jewelry, and a lovely daughter. I am very happy."
Now she has enough money and someone is taking care of her child. Apart from not having as much freedom, she doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.
As for the prince, Shen Lingshu raised her eyebrows: "Serve him as your financial father, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?"
"Mother, has Yu really accepted her fate?"
Shen Lingshu thought that might not be the case. After all, there was a precedent of the crown prince being reinstated before. Maybe they still thought that the crown prince could be reinstated!
"She did think of many ways, but it was useless. She couldn't even see Shen Lingyi."
Song Fanghua's mention of the things at the mansion also made Shen Lingshu feel much better.
"By the way, where is the princess's mansion?" Shen Lingshu asked curiously. When she left last time, the relationship between the princess and her husband didn't seem to be very good.
Song Yuqing... Could it be that they are already married, but they still don't treat the princess well?
"The princess treats your uncle and aunt very well, just like a daughter-in-law, except... your cousin has a bit of a cold personality." Song Fanghua didn't know what to say.
At first, she wanted her daughter to marry into his family, but now it seems that her nephew is a nerd, and her daughter's life may not be good if she marries him.
Shen Lingshu understood what Song Fanghua meant, changed the subject, and said, "Mom, do you want to go see An An Bei Bei?"
"good."
Song Fanghua became excited when she mentioned her two granddaughters. Soon, when she saw An An and Bei Bei, Song Fanghua was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. In just half a day, Bei Bei surrounded Song Fanghua, calling her "Grandma" all the time and couldn't stop smiling.
"Beibei has a really sweet mouth." Song Fanghua added, "An'an is well-behaved."
“…”
Shen Lingshu looked at Beibei who was eating candy. She usually strictly controlled her sugar intake, but now she was eating one candy after another. How could her little mouth not be sweet?
This girl probably inherited Chu Cong's love for sweets. She even wants to add sugar to her rice.
The time they spend together is always short. After Song Fanghua left, Shen Lingshu felt reluctant to let her go: It would be great if we could see each other every day.
In early July, one month after the crown prince was deposed, good news came from Nancheng.
"Ling Shu."
As soon as Chu Cong, who had disappeared for a month, entered the house, he excitedly hugged Shen Lingshu tightly in his arms. His Royal Highness Prince Lin, who usually did not like to show his expression, was also very excited at this moment: "A good harvest, a good harvest in Nancheng!"
"Really?"
Shen Lingshu secretly estimated that it was time for good news. Listening to Chu Cong's words, she raised her eyes, looked at Chu Cong's excited expression, and asked, "How many kilograms are there per mu?"
"you guess?"
Chu Cong kept the secret.
"Hmm."
Shen Lingshu blinked and said, "Nancheng is rich and the fields are good. Normally, the yield per mu is 200 to 300 catties. In Nancheng, we can definitely get 300 to 400 catties. We have changed our management methods a bit, so the yield per mu should be at least 600 catties, right?"
She cited a conservative figure.
"more than!"
Chu Cong shook his head, raised his hand to stroke her hair, and said, "Eight hundred pounds!"
"Nancheng has 800 kilograms of early rice, as well as large rice and late rice. Lingshu, do you know? From now on, no one will have to go hungry anymore."
Chu Cong lowered his head, his eyes filled with excitement, and said, "Ling Shu, all of this is thanks to you."
"Very good!"
Shen Lingshu's eyes narrowed as she smiled, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. This year was indeed a good year for the weather and harvest. Otherwise, if the grain could not be produced, she would have a hard time explaining it.
"Ling Shu, thank you. I thank you on behalf of the people."
Chu Cong was so happy that he didn't even call himself "this king".
"I am also very happy to be able to help His Majesty share his worries."
Shen Lingshu was also very happy.
Chu Cong held her tightly in his arms. If she wasn't pregnant, Chu Cong would have loved to love her well.
In early August, the fields of the imperial farm and the fields outside the capital were all yellow, and even the emperor came to the imperial farm in person.
"Shen's, not bad."
The emperor looked at Shen Lingshu's big belly, and the smile on his face was gentle and praiseful. The second concubine is good. The people of Mu Ning Kingdom don't have to worry about starving. In the future, will the small countries around them dare to come?
"Your Majesty is wise and blessed by Heaven, so that grain production can be increased and the people of Ningguo can live and work in peace and contentment."
Shen Lingshu responded modestly, while secretly praising the emperor for being a wise ruler.
"good."
The emperor laughed even more happily.
When Shen Lingshu returned to her own courtyard, she was wondering if the emperor was too stingy to praise her verbally?
Soon, Eunuch Shunen came. When Shen Lingshu received the news that she was promoted to concubine, she thought: The emperor is still generous.
