Chapter 206 Changed the Fate of the Third Princess
Chaochao’s disappearance two years ago was the most devastating blow to her and one she could never recover from.
Every night when she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with the suffering that Chao Chao might suffer, and she couldn't calm down at all.
Therefore, she understood very well the mood of the eldest lady of the Tang family at the moment.
Chao Chao did not expect to have such symptoms after giving birth. "When I was in Shangliu Village, giving birth to a child was considered a great thing. But I have never heard of a mother getting such a disease. No one has ever talked about it."
Jian Yunsang touched her head. "In ancient times, people had little knowledge of this aspect. Many people thought that if a woman was still crying and screaming hysterically after giving birth, she was just being delicate and pretentious. They thought that every woman could be fine if she didn't give birth. Why are you the only one who is so difficult to please?"
"But mothers don't want to suffer from depression. This is not just a bad mood, but a very serious psychological disorder. They are already anxious and insomniac, but they have to bear the accusations from all sides and the pressure of taking care of their children. How can they not collapse? Some will hurt themselves, but some will also hurt their children."
Chao Chao couldn't help but hug Jian Yunsang's neck tightly, "Mom, you've worked so hard."
So those two women who wanted to provoke my cousin’s wife were really bad.
The people of Daqi under the sky couldn't help but frown slightly. Is there such a thing as postpartum depression?
Many people think of the conditions of the women around them who have just given birth. Some of them seem to be fine, but for some people, their temperaments change drastically.
"No wonder, the young wife next door cried every night after giving birth, and her husband scolded and beat her, saying that she disturbed his sleep. It turned out that she was sick."
"After my sister-in-law gave birth, she became irritable whenever she saw anyone, and she would scream when she saw someone holding a baby. The witch in our village said that she was weak-willed and was invaded by evil spirits, and she had to exorcise them for her. Fortunately, we didn't believe it, and my sister-in-law gradually got better."
"You're right, this disease is not something that ordinary people like us get. I know a lady from a wealthy family who hanged herself not long after giving birth."
"I know one too. Her health wasn't good after she gave birth, and her husband was still having affairs outside. In the end, she even refused to take medicine, and she died not long after."
Even Emperor Jingxuan frowned. The mother of the third princess seemed to have been in a bad mood since giving birth. She often woke up in the middle of the night, grumbling and crying, scaring the talented people in the same palace with her so much that they dared not sleep.
Especially the third princess, who had just been born at that time, was often frightened and woke up crying, and her body became weak.
Emperor Jingxuan then took the third princess to other concubines, but her mother's condition became increasingly worse. Finally, one night, she set fire to the palace where she was staying and burned herself to death inside.
Before his death, he sang a poem called Changmen Fu, which seemed to say that he, the emperor, was unfeeling and ruthless.
Emperor Jingxuan was so angry that he laughed on the spot, and later he also disliked the third princess.
Now that I think about it, she must have suffered from the depression mentioned on the sky curtain, and her condition was very serious and had not been relieved in time. In addition, he took the third princess away, which made her condition worse and finally she went to extremes.
Thinking of this, Emperor Jingxuan couldn't help but sigh.
He asked Cao Qing behind him, "How is the third princess now?"
Cao Qing was stunned for a moment, and replied in a low voice, "The Third Princess is with Concubine Liu. The last time I saw her, she looked a little thinner."
"Thin?" Emperor Jingxuan frowned. "Is Concubine Liu not treating her well?"
"That's not the case." Concubine Liu herself had no children, and the Third Princess was a princess, so there was no need for her to abuse the child to gain this stigma. "It's just that according to the palace rules, Concubine Liu's share is not high."
She was not tall to begin with, and neither Concubine Liu nor the Third Princess was favored in the palace, so they were like invisible people.
Most of the people in the palace flatter the powerful and look down on the weak, and it is very common to withhold food, clothing and other supplies in private.
Emperor Jingxuan soon realized that it was his negligence. He told Cao Qing, "Send a message to the imperial kitchen. I will dine with Concubine Liu tonight. Please prepare more food that the third princess likes."
Cao Qing quickly agreed, "Yes, I will pass it on right away."
At the same time, the Queen Mother also thought of the third princess's mother.
After all, the fire and the Changmen Fu caused the emperor to suffer criticism for a long time.
Now that I think about it, they all neglected her mental health after giving birth.
She sighed and said to her confidant, "I am still thinking about changing the lives of women in this world who live in poverty, so that their future paths can be more open, but I have neglected the people around me. Let someone send something to the third princess."
The nanny agreed, and soon after she left, she came back and said, "His Majesty has ordered that we have dinner at Lady Liu's palace tonight."
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's good."
After a moment of silence, she continued, "I remember that Yupin is going to give birth in a month. Tell her to pay more attention to this aspect, especially after the birth. Remind me and give her the pair of jade bracelets in my storeroom."
Mammy smiled and said, "Your Majesty is kind."
At this time, Emperor Jingxuan and the Empress Dowager had no idea that the conversation between Chaochao and Jian Yunsang in the sky curtain would not only change their attitude towards the Third Princess, but also change the Third Princess's life.
They were still looking at the sky, but Jian Yunsang had already carried Chaochao to the second floor.
However, they did not see the eldest lady of the Tang family in the original living room. While they were looking for her, they saw the eldest sister-in-law of the Tang family coming over.
"Sister-in-law." Jian Yunsang followed Tang Muhan's address and said, "I want to take Chao Chao to see the baby. I wonder if it's convenient."
The eldest sister-in-law of the Tang family smiled and said, "It's convenient. They are in the small reception room. I'll take you there."
There is a living room and a small reception room on the second floor. The latter is not very big, but it is close to the bedroom, so some baby supplies are placed in it.
At this moment, Ren Zhenzhen, the eldest lady of the Tang family, was here. There was a basket next to her. The baby in the basket had just taken a nap and was dancing around.
There is no door to the small reception room, you can see it just by turning a corner.
When the eldest sister-in-law of the Tang family walked to the door with Jian Yunsang and her daughter, voices were heard from inside.
It sounded like someone was gossiping with Ren Zhenzhen.
"...You don't know, she was so arrogant before, but I didn't expect her husband to cheat on her right after she gave birth. He kept saying that there were a lot of things to do in the company and he was very busy, but in fact he was just being affectionate with his mistress outside. He also said that his wife had a bad figure and a bad complexion after giving birth, and she was too sloppy, and he no longer had any feelings for her."
