Chapter 340 Yixiu 18
The Third Prince came earlier than in his previous life, and the biggest impact of this incident was actually on Rouze's mood.
God knows how she felt when she heard the servants come to report the good news while she was crying to her mother about the pain she had suffered these days. She ordered Lianxing to give the reward to Li with a dull face, but when she turned around, she saw that her mother actually had a smile on her face.
"Mother...?"
Rouze was a little bit unbelievable. You know, if Rouze was asked to choose the person who loved her the most in this world, she would definitely choose her mother, Lady Juelu, without hesitation.
"Okay, okay, mother, you're happy. Fu Jin, you've finally figured it out."
Madam Juelu took her daughter into her arms and patted her as she had when she was little: "Mother has always been worried. Your father and I have raised you to be too naive. After you get married, you will have the protection of the prince and Madam Yun to look after you, but in the end, it is not as important as you standing on your own feet."
"Now that I see you like this, I can feel more at ease without you."
Rouze listened to her mother's comforting words, but her eyes reddened: "But mother, I don't want to become like this."
"So what do you want? Continue to hide under Lord Beile's wing and hand over your power and son to that concubine? If you retreat one step, you'll retreat all the way. I'm afraid she won't care about the so-called blood relationship by then. What happens to the women who lose in the backyard? You really don't have any idea what happens?"
Mrs. Juelu had never said these words to Rouze before, simply because her daughter and her husband were loving and everything was going smoothly at the time, so even if she did, Rouze wouldn't take them to heart, and might even accidentally leak them out and alert the enemy. But recently, even though she hadn't visited, she had a general understanding of her daughter's situation.
Although she seemed to be still in favor and even had a son and the power of housekeeper, her state of mind had actually changed dramatically. Although Madam Juelu felt sorry for her daughter suffering from the bloody plots in the backyard, she also understood that this was an opportunity.
A great opportunity for my daughter to completely change her previous naive and foolish ideas.
"My son, you have been intelligent since childhood. Not to mention those girls, even the boys in our family can't compare to you. God has also given you a stunning appearance and noble birth. If it weren't for the natural match between our family and Concubine De, you would be a good match for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Lady Juelu had been saying these words to Rouze since she was a child, and she really thought so, otherwise she would not have interfered with her daughter's marriage with the young general. She took the opportunity of Yixiu showing off to dress her daughter up to be stunningly beautiful, and won over Yinzhen in one fell swoop, marrying her daughter into the royal family.
Her so-called noble surname that had fallen on hard times and her plain appearance made her always feel suffocated when facing her mediocre husband. This anger had a place to vent because of the appearance of this stunning daughter.
That's why Mrs. Juelu spent so many years raising her daughter to be a beauty that no man could resist, and she promoted her reputation with the mentality that she was a rare commodity.
However, after her daughter really married into the royal family, she discovered that her daughter had learned a lot of skills, but had not learned any of her own thoughts.
It was not until now that she found an opportunity to train her daughter to be a qualified wife.
"Mother, please don't say that anymore. Since I've married Silang, I will only have him in my heart for the rest of my life."
Seeing that her daughter only tried to stop her from talking about whether she was worthy of the Crown Prince, but did not refute the topic of "a concubine's daughter", Jueluo smiled with satisfaction: "Good, good, I know that Fu Jin and the Fourth Prince are deeply in love."
"Alas... Mother was always worried. Although you are the Consort, the Consort already has a six or seven-year-old son. I'm afraid you will suffer in the future. Now you have also given birth to a son. Given the love that Prince Baylor has for his Consort, it will definitely be our Huifu who will inherit the title..."
"Mother, don't talk about this. Huifu is still young."
Rouze didn't want to talk about the child any longer, so she quickly changed the subject. Jueluo was also busy teaching her daughter how to suppress the concubines and servants in the mansion, so she continued talking along with her.
The mother and daughter dared to teach and learn at the same time, until Shiyue came in and announced that the prince would be staying overnight, and then they stopped reluctantly.
Seeing that the Fourth Prince was only visiting the concubine even though she was pregnant, Jueluo felt more at ease and was sure that her precious daughter's position was still stable. So she chatted with her daughter calmly for a few more words and then went home leisurely.
Little did she know that not long after she left, Rouze was waiting expectantly for Shilang to arrive in the room, but Lianxing suddenly ran in and knelt at her feet in panic:
"Fujin, something's wrong with Brother Huifu!"
Rouze frowned, feeling annoyed but could only say, "Then what are you waiting for? Go call a doctor!"
…
The Ninghua Hall in the east, which attracted much attention, was in commotion again. The news spread throughout the entire backyard in a short time. Even Yixiu, who lived in the west, knew that something had happened to the precious concubine again.
Yixiu asked the servants to serve Honghui another bowl of old duck soup. After he drank it all in one gulp, she ordered people to pick out his favorite dishes. The mother and son had only finished half of their meal when Xiuxia got the news and hurried over to tell them.
"Is it serious?"
"It shouldn't be serious. Look at the busy but not chaotic courtyard. Besides, there's the prince in charge."
"Then don't worry about it. Tomorrow is the first day for Fu Jin to come out of confinement and pay her respects. Just ask twice then."
Yixiu casually gave a few instructions and waved her off. Turning her head, she saw Honghui across the table, looking a little curious. Seeing her mother looking at her, she pursed her lips and smiled twice, but couldn't help asking:
"Has my brother's health always been like this?"
"A premature baby has this condition from the womb. I'm afraid it'll be even harder to raise than you."
Honghui smiled and said, "But my second brother doesn't have a mother as good as me."
"You're good at flattering your mother. All mothers in the world have the same heart. How do you know that Fu Jin's mother is not as good as your mother?"
"Of course I know. Mother is the best mother in the world. No one can compare to her!"
Honghui grumbled for a long time, and only uttered this overlord-like remark, leaving Yixiu at a loss for words. She scolded him with a smile, "Eat your meal, my uncle."
But I still feel warm in my heart, thinking that my love for the little boy was not in vain.
After the mother and son finished their meal, Yixiu ordered someone to make red date and hawthorn tea. The two of them sat together in the study in the west wing. Yixiu asked in detail about the social activities that Yinzhen had taken him and his uncles to today. Seeing Honghui's remarkable answers, she nodded:
"You're quite capable of handling things at your age, which is quite remarkable among the younger generation. That's good. Your father may have to be modest for various reasons, but you don't have to be so since you're younger."
"Yes, my father also said this to his son."
