Chapter 55 Yu's Visit
Youlan Courtyard.
"Master, look, this tiger lantern that I specially asked someone to buy outside, isn't it nice-looking?" Zhu Xin came out with the tiger lantern.
The lifelike tiger lantern looked ferocious. Shen Lingshu was admiring the lantern in the yard and said, "Although I can't go to the lantern festival, with this lantern, it's almost the same as admiring the lanterns outside."
“It’s really beautiful.”
Shen Lingshu picked up the lamp and walked slowly in the yard, raising it from time to time to look at herself. In the moonlight, she was wearing an apricot-colored cloak. The wide cloak covered most of her figure, and she didn't look pregnant at all.
Under the moonlight, she was holding a tiger lantern, with a smiling profile, tender and affectionate.
"Your Majesty."
Zhuxin was the first to notice the prince and quickly bowed and greeted him.
Shen Lingshu glanced sideways and saw the two tiger lanterns in Chu Cong's hands. Her eyes, as bright as stars, were shimmering with beauty. The bright moonlight seemed to give her a layer of radiant glow, making her look like a moonlight fairy.
"How did Your Highness know that I like tiger lanterns? Thank you, Your Highness."
Shen Lingshu walked forward happily, looked at the tiger lantern in his hand, and said happily: "An An and Bei Bei should thank Daddy, Daddy was thinking of buying you tiger lanterns when he went out!"
Shen Lingshu looked at him expectantly and said, "Next year, during the Lantern Festival, Your Highness can buy a few more tiger lanterns for the children."
"Tomorrow, I will take you three mothers to see the Lantern Festival. You can pick whatever you like." Chu Cong spoke, his voice full of anticipation. In a few months, the child will be born and he will become a father.
"Your Highness's words are golden, you can't go back on your word, okay?" Shen Lingshu's eyes sparkled.
"good."
Chu Cong responded. He had been busy from the New Year to the first month of the lunar year and had not come to see her, but she didn't seem angry at all?
"Your Highness is so busy every day. It's all my fault that I can't help. I just hope to rest peacefully in the courtyard and take care of my baby every day, and not cause any trouble to Your Highness."
Shen Lingshu seemed to know what Chu Cong was thinking and took the initiative to speak, with longing hidden in her eyes.
Shen Lingshu raised her head and said with a smile: "I look forward to the prince coming to see me every day, but I know that the prince is very busy. As long as the prince occasionally remembers me and my two children, I will be very happy."
Chu Cong stretched out his hand and held the person in his arms, but the bulging belly blocked his movements.
"Puff~"
Shen Lingshu smiled like a flower and said, "Prince, An'an and Beibei also want daddy to hug them."
…
Early the next morning, Zhu Xin came to report: "Master, the Madam is here."
"lady?"
Shen Lingshu, who had just woken up, was confused for a moment.
"Is anything going to happen to Auntie and the Second Young Master?" Zhu Xin asked worriedly, then muttered to herself, "That's not right."
If the aunt and the second young master really have something to do, Madam Yu would probably be so happy that she would not have time to come to visit.
“She naturally came here for Shen Lingyi.”
Shen Lingshu ate something, and her mind gradually became clear. Since last year at Princess Lingzhao's welcoming banquet, when the emperor wanted to thoroughly investigate the prince's case, Shen Lingshu had been waiting for the arrival of the Yushi family.
Unexpectedly, Yu came to visit after the first month of the lunar year.
In Qiutang Courtyard, Concubine Fang said, "Send someone to find out why Madam Shen came to visit."
The legitimate mother and the concubine's daughter, is there something interesting to watch?
It would be best to make a fuss and get rid of that bitch Shen’s child.
"Yes." Nanny Gui hesitated for a moment, and after she finished her instructions, she said, "Concubine, there's been no movement from Hai's side. She's like a frightened bird, always worried that someone is going to harm her child."
"Promising."
Concubine Fang snorted coldly, a hint of cruelty flashing in her eyes. She said, "Mrs. Hai is ambitious. Once she thinks the child is safe, she will naturally be unwilling to give up the position of concubine to someone else."
Youlan Courtyard.
“It seems that Aunt Shen is having a good time in the palace.”
Yu entered the Youlan Courtyard. It was freezing cold outside, but Shen Lingshu's room was warm as spring. The charcoal basin was burning with top-quality silver charcoal. The ornaments on the antique shelves and the carpets on the floor all showed that she was favored in the palace.
"well."
Yu sighed, "It's a pity that your eldest sister is suffering in the royal palace."
"Then Madam, please send more things over. Don't let my elder sister get cold. Please give my regards to her. It's cold, so please wear more clothes."
Shen Lingshu looked worried, but sneered in her heart. With Shen Lingyi's personality, she would not suffer even in the royal villa. What's more, she had Yu, her biological mother, who kept sending her money.
“…”
Yu's heart was blocked, looking at Shen Lingshu's worried look, just like her mother, a vixen.
"cough."
Yu cleared her throat and asked, "Regarding the Crown Prince's reversal of the verdict, you..."
"I don't know. How can Madam ask me this? I am just a concubine. How dare I ask the prince about such matters in the court?"
Shen Lingshu interrupted her in a panic, with fear in her eyes.
No future.
Yu was disdainful in her heart. She asked impatiently, "I didn't ask you to ask, I just asked you to find out."
“Madam, it’s not that I don’t want to, but I can’t do it. The prince is busy and hasn’t come to my yard for a long time.” Shen Lingshu looked embarrassed.
Zhuxin lowered her head and thought: The prince specially sent lanterns to the master yesterday.
"Really? You're pregnant, how could you not come?" Yu was skeptical. Didn't she say that Shen Lingshu was very favored and the prince even went to her room for seven consecutive days?
"Yeah." Shen Lingshu nodded like pounding garlic: "It's because I'm pregnant, so I don't come."
Looking at her self-righteous appearance, Yu was so angry that she had a heart attack. She simply said straight to the point: "Chen Lingshu, don't play dumb in front of me. Bring back the divorce application from last time."
"I'm afraid not."
Shen Lingshu pursed her lips and said with an embarrassed look: “I haven’t found a chance to help the prince yet, and I haven’t helped my elder sister yet.”
"No."
Yu's face lit up with joy, and she quickly said, "I don't need your help, just bring back the divorce papers."
It was just as well that he hadn't shown it to the prince. After the crown prince was rehabilitated, Lingyi would still be the crown prince's concubine.
"That won't work."
Shen Lingshu shook her head and said, "Sister Di promised me that if I gave her the divorce letter, she would allow my mother to be his equal wife. If this thing didn't happen, I definitely can't take it back, otherwise, Sister Di will blame me."
Want to take back the divorce papers? How could it be that easy?
"I promise Lingyi won't blame you." Yu said immediately.
"I promised my elder sister that I would find a chance to help her."
Shen Lingshu refused bluntly and said: "Besides, my elder sister promised me that she would allow my mother to be a co-wife!"
Yu: “…”
She could see that Shen Lingshu just wanted to get the position of co-wife for her mother. She turned her eyes and said, "As long as you give me the divorce letter, I will make the decision and grant your mother the position of co-wife."
"Bring the things here." Yu stretched out her hand and looked at the divorce agreement that was so close to her. Just as she was about to reach out to take it, Shen Lingshu quickly took it back.
