Chapter 353 Go and see for yourself
After ten months of pregnancy, Lin Suying gave birth.
It was a healthy boy. Emperor Jing was overjoyed and wept. He immediately made him the crown prince and made Lin Suying the empress.
After the crown prince's full moon celebration, the ceremony for his investiture as empress will be held.
No court official dared to object. Now, Emperor Jing's harem consisted only of Consort Jing, who also had a biological child. Anyone who harbored any disloyalty would be beheaded.
Haven't we learned enough lessons from those who came before? It doesn't matter who the crown prince or the empress is; the most important thing is to live, because once a person dies, everything is gone.
"Wanwan, thank you."
Lin Suyi's face was a little pale after giving birth, and her lips were also a little pale. Looking at Ye Wan sitting by her bedside, her eyes were full of love and gratitude.
"Mother, you don't need to thank me, you're really amazing." Ye Wan stirred the porridge in her hand, and when it was warm enough, she personally fed it to Lin Suyi.
She came to be with the baby in person today. Originally, Lin Suyi and Lin Anyuan did not agree to let her enter the delivery room, but she still came in in the end.
When Lin Suyi was giving birth, Ye Wan gave her a ginseng slice to suck on.
No one knows for sure what poison she was poisoned with. Although the poisoning was short-lived, Jiang Yun and Xia Tun don't know if it will affect the fetus in her womb.
Now that the baby has been born and is doing well, everyone can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Mother, take good care of yourself. His Highness the Crown Prince will soon have a nephew or niece."
Lin Suying drank the porridge with a smile, and fell asleep with a smile on her face.
In the outer hall, the temperature was just right, and Emperor Jing and Lin Anyuan were learning how to hold a baby under the tutelage of Qin Gu.
Emperor Jing specially bathed and changed his clothes for this occasion, wearing a soft everyday outfit.
Lin Anyuan had just hugged him when Emperor Jing took him away.
This is his son, and Lin Anyuan wanted to report his birth.
Emperor Jing, having just become a father, didn't even have time to speak with Lin Anyuan and Ye Wan, instead showering them with a series of gifts.
"Mother has eaten and fallen asleep. It's getting late, let's go back."
Ye Wan led Lin Anyuan out of Chaoyang Palace.
It was early morning the next day, and the sun was shining brightly.
Chaoyang Hall faces the rising sun.
"Wanwan, thank you for your hard work." Lin Anyuan held Ye Wan's hand.
His mother had a second life, and it all started when he met Ye Wan.
...
...
Jiangnan.
It started raining heavily again at this time of year, and the walls inside the house were damp and a bit chilly.
Inside a low bamboo house, a family of three was preparing to eat breakfast.
"Dad, Mom, it's time to eat."
An Yuping placed two bowls of rice porridge and a few flatbreads on the table.
An Yan put down the pen, which had already forked from writing, squatted down to wash her hands in the wooden basin, and then sat down at the dining table.
Another woman dressed in coarse linen clothes came out of the house and sat down.
There was also a boy with a twisted right hand, a tanned face, and a quiet, reserved demeanor.
An Yuping glanced at her parents and brother, then silently sat down next to her brother.
The family began to eat breakfast quietly, without making a sound.
An Yuping cautiously spoke only after seeing that her parents had finished eating, "Father, Brother Tie Niu brought a bag of rice and wants to ask me to marry him. He asked me to come and ask you two if you agree?"
Snap!
The bowl on the table was suddenly smashed onto the ground.
Su Yan'er stood up abruptly, as if she wanted to overturn the table. "Yu Ping, have you lost your mind? You are a pampered young lady, what kind of lowly people are these villagers? Do they even deserve to marry you!"
An Yuping lowered her head. "But... he's willing to give us a bag of rice. A bag of rice is enough for us to get through this winter. Besides, his family has a lot of grain. After I marry him, life should be better."
What kind of rich young lady is she now? After leaving the An family, her family went hungry, almost to the point of begging.
Everyone knows about Su Yan'er's book, and those disgusting looks once gave people nightmares.
Wherever they go, it seems like they'll have a hard time; everyone seems to be kicking them when they're down.
She was almost...
If it weren't for her father's loyal servants protecting her, who died for their cause, she wouldn't even be able to keep her chastity now. What kind of rich young lady would she be?
After they fled to this village, they settled there under assumed names. Soon, the imperial court began to register refugees and arrange for them to cultivate wasteland. They were also treated as refugees and thus obtained new household registrations, and their lives became slightly more stable.
An Yan now makes a living by copying books for others, while Su Yan'er can also earn some money by sewing and mending.
Their son, An Shiqing, is learning to farm. The imperial court has recently issued a new type of seed, which will be harvested and collected later. If he grows it well, he should be able to save some money this year.
Su Yuping was responsible for the family's three meals a day at home, or she would embroider handkerchiefs and purses to sell. The once pampered young lady who never lifted a finger now knew how to cook.
She was quite pretty, and many young men in the village had their eyes on her.
"mother……"
An Yuping was about to persuade Su Yan'er that Tie Niu was the village chief's son, and that it would be good for her family if she joined him.
A loud slap landed directly on her face.
"How could you be so despicable, willing to marry a country bumpkin just for a bite to eat? How could I have raised such a lowly daughter?"
Su Yan'er pointed at An Yuping and cursed loudly, showing no trace of her former gentle and charming demeanor.
Now, Su Yan'er wears patched clothes, her hair is tied up with strips of cloth, her skin is dull and rough, and her whole person looks ferocious and mean.
An Yuping was slapped and burst into tears of grievance. Thinking about the suffering she had endured over the past year, she felt extremely wronged. "So what if he's a country bumpkin? He can feed me and protect me. Do I even have a choice now?"
"If you're so capable, then pick a noble young master for me. I'd be happy to marry him, even as a concubine! I'd be laughing in my dreams!"
"I've become like this because of you, Su Yan'er! You're the most despicable person ever! What right do you have to talk to me like that!"
If it weren't for her, how could their An family have fallen into such a state of destitution? How could they have been driven out by their clansmen and forced to live such a miserable life?
Just when life was finally starting to look up, this stability was shattered.
It shattered her heart, which had been set on living a simple life.
Su Yan'er looked at her in disbelief, "I'm your mother, how could you say that to me, you..."
Anyone can criticize her, but not her own children.
Su Yan'er was about to hit him again when An Yan slammed his hand on the table. "Enough!"
Su Yan'er shuddered and withdrew her hand.
An Yan looked at her daughter and said, "If you're willing, then marry into the family and live a good life. Our family hasn't prepared a dowry, and we don't need any betrothal gifts."
An Yan looked much older; his hair had turned white, and his eyes had become cloudy.
It turns out that the daily grind can wear down all a person's arrogance.
He was still somewhat unwilling to die like that.
Su Yan'er suddenly said in a sharp voice, "Why shouldn't we ask for a betrothal gift? What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for? Our family is counting on selling her to make some money right now, and you just say you don't want it?"
