Chapter 58 The Young Man in Green Holding a Tiger Lantern
Prince Lin was away on a business trip to investigate the case of deposing the Crown Prince, and the women in the backyard of Prince Lin's mansion seemed to have fallen silent.
Shen Lingshu would stay at home if she could, and she mostly walked around in her yard. Every day, she felt the baby in her belly becoming more and more lively, which made her feel a blood connection.
"Master, big news, big news."
Zhu Xin ran in excitedly, breathless. She said, "Princess Ling Zhao is actually looking for someone. Master, do you know who she's looking for?"
Shen Lingshu was startled by her sudden surprise and asked, "Future Prince Consort?"
"I don't know if he's the future prince consort, but I'm looking for the young man in blue holding the tiger lantern."
Zhu Xin said with some regret, "It's a pity that in the teahouses and taverns, everyone only knows that Princess Ling Zhao is looking for someone with great fanfare, but no one knows why she is looking for this person!"
Sweetheart.
Shen Lingshu lowered her eyes, her hand gently resting on her bulging belly. In the script, Princess Lingzhao had a bumpy love life, and this young man in green holding a tiger lantern...
"I don't know which family this young man belongs to, but he likes tiger lanterns just like the master."
Zhu Xin was extremely curious and said, "Master, I guess he must be Princess Ling Zhao's sweetheart, or his savior."
“I don’t know who is so lucky.”
After Zhu Xin's words fell, Shen Lingshu fell silent.
Because of the princess's noble status and her love for him, the imperial decree was issued to grant the marriage. He almost died in the Heavenly Prison for disobeying the order.
He studied hard for more than ten years and finally got into high school, but was forced to marry a woman he didn't like. Is this really a blessing?
"By the way, Master, I also heard that Madam is really planning to make my concubine a co-wife."
Seeing her depressed, Zhu Xin quickly changed the subject and said, "Today I went to deliver something to Auntie. When Auntie talked about this, she was still worried about the master."
"Is my mother okay? She must be happy to know that I'm a co-wife, right?" Song Fanghua's gentle face seemed to appear in Shen Lingshu's mind.
"Instead of being happy, I'm worried about it."
Zhu Xin squatted down and said, "Master, you don't know. I explained for a long time. Only when the master was not bullied did the aunt feel relieved."
"Mom always thinks about us."
Shen Lingshu raised her eyes and looked out the window at the distant sky. She had only met Song Fanghua once, but no matter what time it was, she always put her and Shen Xinghe first.
"Auntie loves you dearly." Zhu Xin took out another bundle and said, "This is the belly band that Auntie asked me to bring you. Auntie also made a lot of small clothes. The stitching is very good."
She took out one thing after another, a small piece of clothing with fine stitching, without even a thread end. Shen Lingshu gestured with the clothing, "Are these small clothes really not small?"
"Not small, even newborn babies are this big."
Aunt Hua came in with some cooked red dates, lilies, and bird's nest. After putting them down, she took the small clothes and praised them, saying, "These clothes are well made. There are no loose threads at all. Children's skin is so delicate, so this is how it should be treated."
"My mother is very good at needlework."
Shen Lingshu said with pride, picked up the bird's nest and tasted it. It tasted very good, sweet and soft. It was not the bird's nest given by Concubine Fang, but she bought it herself.
As for the bird's nest that Concubine Fang had given her before, she sent it directly to the warehouse.
Although Aunt Hua and the others said there was no problem, Shen Lingshu was also extremely careful about what to put in her mouth.
"It's really good. The two children in my aunt's belly are a blessing."
Aunt Hua put down her little clothes and looked at Shen Lingshu's belly, as if she saw a treasure, this was the prince's child.
Five days later, Yu came to visit again. She looked at Shen Lingshu, whose belly seemed to have grown bigger, and said, "Your mother is now a co-wife. The elders of the Shen family already know about it. Where are the things?"
Yu had a cold face. In the past half month, she had been exhausted by the matter of elevating her wife. She was also afraid that the prince would be restored to the throne and that bitch Shen Lingshu would not return the things.
"Madam, you keep your word. You are truly trustworthy."
As Shen Lingshu said this, she directly pushed the divorce application written by Shen Lingyi over and said, "I also keep my word."
She knew yesterday that Song Fanghua had become a concubine, and she prepared everything early today.
Yu took a look at it and then handed it to Huayi who was standing beside her.
"Hey, why didn't Shuqing, who was beside my elder sister, come? Why is Huayi here?" Shen Lingshu asked curiously. Shuqing and Huayi were both personal maids beside Shen Lingyi.
The last time the Shen family framed her, Shu Qing was ruthlessly thrown to the drugged man by Shen Lingyi… After that, she had no news about Shu Qing.
"Shuqing is naturally to serve Lingyi." Yu's face was cold, staring at Huayi and said: "Look carefully, is it your master's handwriting?"
If Shen Lingyi was not inconvenient to come at this time, Yu would definitely let Shen Lingyi see it with her own eyes, and she must not be replaced by Shen Lingshu.
"Madam, are you still worried that I'll lie to you?"
Shen Lingshu seemed to be shocked when she spoke. She spread her hands and said, "Forget it. You can look at it as you like. I won't go back on my word like some people do."
Yu Shi didn't care about Shen Lingshu's weird temper. For this thin piece of paper, she even lifted up Song Fanghua, that bitch and his second wife. What if she was replaced by Shen Lingshu...
Huayi stared at it intently for a long while before she said with certainty, "It's the master's handwriting."
"Look carefully." Yu reminded, glancing coldly at Shen Lingshu.
Huayi looked at it again before confirming, "This is the handwriting of the master."
"Okay." Yu collected the things and left.
In the small Buddhist hall, Concubine Fang looked at Lady Hai who was copying scriptures and said, as if chatting casually, "After Concubine Chen became pregnant, her status really changed?"
"Can the twins be identical?" Hai Jiaren has not been eating or sleeping well recently, for she is afraid that someone will know she is pregnant and harm her children.
Unfortunately, the prince was not in the palace. She wanted to tell him about her pregnancy, but she didn't know where to start. She was so anxious that her mouth was covered with blisters.
"Indeed, her biological mother was once a concubine, but now she has been promoted to a co-wife."
When Concubine Fang finished speaking, Hai Jiaren looked up in shock: "Is the principal wife also willing?"
"Why not? Once she gives birth to the prince's first child and is promoted to concubine, her birth mother's status will naturally rise as well."
Concubine Fang seemed not to notice Hai Jiaren's gloomy face and continued, "She is pregnant with twins, the eldest son of Prince Lin."
Every word that Concubine Fang said was like a needle piercing Hai Jiaren's heart.
Why?
Is it because she was favored early and got pregnant early?
Hai Jiaren returned to Yiheyuan with a lot on her mind. Seeing that lunch hadn't arrived yet, she couldn't help but get angry and said, "What's going on? It's past dinner time, and lunch hasn't been brought back yet?"
"Master, the kitchen prepared chicken soup for Youlan Court today, so we were late in making soup for you."
Yindian explained, and Hai Jiaren frowned: "It's all chicken soup, why are you delaying my Youlan Courtyard? Doesn't it have a small kitchen?"
