Chapter 140: Child Marriage Fulfilled by the Adopted Son
Qionghua Palace.
Wen Li'er packed up and went out with Xiaoxiao in her arms.
In the past half month, she came to the Cining Palace almost every day.
Because the prince asked Yongtai to come and give her a message.
She said that if she had time, she could bring Xiaoxiao to the Cining Palace to spend more time with the Empress Dowager.
Although Wen Li'er didn't know the reason why the Queen Mother fainted, she was happy to come and accompany her with her child.
Because she knew that the Queen Mother was very good to the Prince.
The prince is a poor little boy who is not loved by his father and his mother. The queen mother is the best elder to him.
The prince also attaches great importance to his grandmother.
Wen Li'er specially learned a set of massage techniques from Nanny Qin and massaged the empress dowager every morning and evening.
Keep her muscles and bones from becoming stiff.
Every day she would sit by the bed, reading to the empress dowager and telling her interesting stories about Xiaoxiao.
Every time at this time, Xiaoxiao would lie down beside the Queen Mother and babbled, as if calling her to wake up.
Or, he could go to the kitchen and cook some porridge to feed the empress dowager.
After half a month, her relationship with the queen improved a lot.
Because the Queen would come to the Queen Mother every day.
The queen was actually very quiet. Most of the time she just sat aside and quietly accompanied the empress dowager.
Sometimes when I talk, I start to cry.
For example, now...
The queen held the queen mother's hand and said something with sobs.
Wen Li'er consciously avoided it and let Qingzhu guard Xiaoxiao in the hall.
She took Qingmei to the kitchen and personally prepared medicine for the empress dowager.
Qingmei sighed softly, "The Empress and the Queen Mother have such a good relationship."
Wen Li'er nodded in agreement.
Who says it isn’t?
There are very few mother-in-law and daughter-in-law like the Queen and the Queen Mother in the world.
It is not an exaggeration to say that they are mother and daughter.
But the Queen Mother...
Hey, Wen Li'er took a palm-leaf fan and gently fanned the fire in the small stove.
She prayed silently in her heart that the Queen Mother would wake up.
Otherwise, not only would the queen lose a mother, but the prince would also lose the only elder who treated him well.
When she brought the medicine back to the empress dowager's bedroom, the queen had stopped crying, but her eyes looked a little red.
Wen Li'er placed the medicine bowl on the table to cool, picked up her son, sat down below the queen, and began to give him daily advice.
"Don't worry, Queen, the Queen Mother will definitely wake up."
A gentle smile appeared on the queen's face.
"Thank you for your hard work during this period."
Wen Li'er shook her head: "It's not hard. Your Highness is busy every day. As a member of the Eastern Palace, I should take good care of the Queen Mother and let Your Highness have no worries."
The Queen looked at her quietly and said with emotion: "You are a good child. It is the prince's blessing that you can enter the East Palace.
Wen Li'er smiled but didn't respond.
What the queen said was true.
Thinking of the Crown Princess's temper, the Queen sighed deeply.
At this moment, she finally understood how the Queen Mother felt when she faced her.
Just like she is now facing the Crown Princess, disappointed and powerless.
The Empress Dowager fainted for half a month, and the Crown Princess came once, stayed for a quarter of an hour, and then left in a hurry.
Is there any granddaughter-in-law in this world who does this?
The Queen pursed her lips.
Back then, it was she who recommended Xie Zhenrong to the prince as his principal wife.
Before the Queen got married, she had received favor from Chen Peilan, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Xuande, and the two became close friends.
Later, they both got married one after another.
One married into the palace as queen, and the other married into the Duke of Rong's mansion.
Later, I became pregnant at almost the same time.
The two agreed that if they gave birth to a child, it would be a boy and a girl.
They arranged a marriage for their children and exchanged tokens of love.
After ten months of pregnancy, each of them gave birth to a daughter.
In this way, the child marriage was put aside, no one remembered it, and the token was not taken back.
Later, her relationship with the emperor broke down.
The relationship between Chen Peilan and Duke Rong was gone forever.
The emperor's concubines were given titles one by one.
Duke Rong took in concubines one after another.
After repeated disappointments, the queen completely gave up her life and gave up the idea of giving birth to a child for the emperor.
However, Chen Peilan became extremely tough after repeated disappointments. She fought with her concubines every day, determined to give birth to a legitimate son first.
Their friendship also led to ideological differences.
The Queen advised Chen Peilan to let go, saying that it was not worth it to become the person she once hated the most for a man who no longer loved her.
Chen Peilan advised her to win back the emperor's heart and give birth to a prince as soon as possible, saying that it was not worth wasting her life in the palace.
The two people's completely different ideas collided again and again, and gradually, the number of contacts became less and less.
Their daughters, however, became very good friends.
Later, Chen Peilan gave birth to a legitimate son as expected, securing her position as the wife of Duke Rong.
However, because she had no legitimate son, her position as queen was uncertain.
But she had her aunt, who single-handedly secured her position as queen.
She was quickly given an adopted son who had just lost his mother.
For various reasons, the queen finally compromised.
When the prince grew up, his aunt ordered her to choose a concubine for him.
My aunt was actually not very worried about her, but it happened that during that period, my aunt often suffered from headaches.
Even if I don't trust her, I have to leave it to her.
At this time, Chen Peilan was also looking for a partner for her daughter Xie Zhenrong.
After learning that her daughter liked the prince, Chen Peilan came to the palace again to ask to see the queen.
Chen Peilan took out the keepsake and reminded her of the marriages she had arranged for her two children.
Although the prince is not the queen's biological son, an adopted son is still a son.
At that time, it was said that if they had a son and a daughter, they would become in-laws.
Now Chen Peilan's legitimate son is five years younger than Princess Taiping, so it is naturally unlikely that the two of them will be together.
Xie Zhenrong is of the same age as the prince.
The child marriage back then could only be between the two of them.
The queen was a little embarrassed.
After all, he is not his biological son. It seems inappropriate to let his adopted son fulfill the child marriage.
But Chen Peilan knelt down and begged her, saying that they and her daughter were having a hard time in the Duke of Rong's Mansion.
If Xie Zhenrong could marry the prince and become the crown princess, they, mother and daughter, would have made a name for themselves.
The Queen couldn't help but think that before they got married, they were close friends and had a very good relationship.
And they both experienced the same hardships.
She could understand Chen Peilan's difficulties very well.
With her daughter Taiping's persuasion, the queen finally agreed.
It is quite appropriate for the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion to marry the Crown Prince as his principal wife.
And Xie Zhenrong was the child whom she watched grow up.
Apart from being a bit stubborn, there's nothing else wrong with him.
Thus, the marriage of the two was settled.
After Xie Zhenrong became the Crown Princess, she didn't make any big mistakes, but she made many small mistakes.
After spending a long time together, the Queen discovered that the Crown Princess's personality was very similar to Chen Peilan's.
Too strong, stubborn, and unable to distinguish between the important and the unimportant.
The Crown Princess, like the Queen, has her own set of standards for conduct, which others cannot easily change.
Women like them are not suitable to be the mistress of a large family, let alone the mother of a country.
Thinking of this, the queen sighed again.
