"Don't ask yet, it might be a surprise."
As Han Luoxue spoke, she walked out and went straight to the kitchen, where she took Yunniang's hand:
"Mother, do you remember what I told you about making shoes last time?"
"I remember, Xue'er, you said that would work."
It sounds like it should work, but I've never tried it before.
"Why don't we try it out first? Brother Chen is here, so why don't we make him a pair to try?"
"Let me estimate for Brother Chen how much the difference is between the two sides."
Yunniang nodded hurriedly: "Then I'll go check if the soles I made before are still there..."
Both mother and daughter were very excited.
Han Luoxue pulled Han Yuchen to the kang (heated brick bed):
"Brother Chen, let me take a look at your leg."
Han Yuchen didn't know what Han Luoxue was going to do, but he still obediently sat down and stretched out his legs.
"Hmm, it's not by much, less than three fingers."
Knowing what was going on, she began to recall modern height-increasing shoes.
Just follow that example. You might not feel comfortable wearing it at first, but you'll get used to it after a few days.
It's like seeing Brother Chen when he wasn't lame.
When the scars on his face are removed, Brother Chen will definitely be the most handsome man in the world.
Han Luoxue secretly glanced at the several scar removal creams in the space.
Sigh, I wonder when I'll be able to use it.
...
"Let me out! Let me go!"
In the dark dungeon, Meng Qing woke up feeling sore all over, as if she had been run over by a carriage.
Even the slightest movement hurts her now. Looking at the dim oil lamp not far away, she realized this wasn't her guest room.
She shouted loudly, but no one came after she called for a long time.
She struggled to her feet and tried to open the door.
Unfortunately, the door was locked from the outside.
"Sister, eldest sister, where are you?"
Meng Qing collapsed to the ground, her hand still weakly pounding on the door.
"Third Miss..."
Just when she thought no one was paying attention to her, a voice suddenly came to her ear.
This is……
Chu Xia, the maidservant beside Meng Yao.
"Early summer, where's my sister? How did I get here?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Mengqing grasped at a straw and pressed herself against the door.
Unfortunately, early summer is just outside the door.
"Third Miss, my mistress has something to attend to and cannot come to see you for the time being. However, my mistress said that you should be more sensible and give birth to a son for His Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible, so that you will have wealth and honor in the future."
The Crown Prince? A child?
Mengqing's mind was still a little fuzzy.
When she came, didn't her sister say that she would introduce her to someone close to His Highness so that she could become His Highness's principal wife?
Why is she suddenly going to have a child for the Crown Prince?
Besides, if she really wanted to give birth to the Crown Prince, she would be willing, even if it meant just being an ordinary concubine.
The Crown Prince is of noble status and will become the Emperor in the future. If she has a child, she should at least be able to become a concubine after the Crown Prince ascends the throne.
But... why didn't my sister just say it? She even locked her up?
"Where's my sister? I need to see my sister!"
Chu Xia sneered:
"How could Her Majesty possibly have time to see you? Third Miss, you'd better pray that your belly will cooperate."
"Have a child as soon as possible, then Miss San will have something to look forward to in the future, won't she?"
"Don't worry, Third Miss. You are Her Majesty's own sister. Her Majesty will definitely take good care of the child."
The footsteps gradually faded into the distance; early summer had already passed, but Mengqing still hadn't come to her senses.
She still remembered what happened last night. She thought it was a dream she had after arriving at the Crown Prince's residence, but who would have thought it was actually real.
Her sister...
If you really want her to serve the Crown Prince, you can say so directly.
Mengqing didn't understand why her sister did this.
Locking himself in here and secretly serving the emperor—even a fool would know there's something fishy going on.
...
"How is it? She didn't cause any trouble, did she?"
Mengyao was listless all day. She personally delivered her younger sister to her husband's bed and listened to them fiddling around for half the night, but she still felt awkward.
She was still a little disappointed that the Crown Prince didn't suspect anything. She guessed the medicine her mother gave him was good enough.
"She has a bit of a temper, but in my opinion, she shouldn't be a problem."
Chu Xia thought for a moment and sighed:
"Your Majesty, you don't need to be in such a hurry."
There's still time. What if the Third Miss gets pregnant, and the Empress gets pregnant too?
We can't just abort the third young lady's child, can we?
"I'm just worried..."
Mengyao didn't say what she was worried about, but Chuxia knew the answer in her heart.
"Have someone keep an eye on things, make sure nothing goes wrong," Mengyao reminded him again.
"Let Her Highness come over, or let her come instead."
After all, the doctor said that Meng Qing, that bitch, is more likely to get pregnant these days.
As for myself, there will be many more opportunities in the future.
Mengqing, you'd better live up to my expectations and not let me down.
"This servant understands."
Chu Xia was still worried; she didn't know why the Crown Prince had suddenly changed.
"By the way, Your Majesty, I heard that Consort Zhou hasn't shown up for several days."
Because of the Crown Prince, Mengyao has always cared about the Zhou family.
"Didn't come out?"
"Yes, I inquired and found out that she didn't stay at the manor and I don't know where she went."
Suddenly, a name came to Mengyao's mind: Han Luoxue.
Is Zhou Jie going to find her?
"Miss Chi also sent you an invitation, saying that Sixiu Pavilion has come up with a new idea."
Silk Pavilion?
Mengyao suddenly remembered the first time she met Han Luoxue and the others, which was at Sixiu Pavilion.
