Fucha Mingyu snorted coldly: "This princess consort has no intention of raising someone else's child. Besides, it's just a child born out of wedlock, the prince's first child!"
When Zi Xun heard Ming Yu say this, she knew that Ming Yu was upset that she hadn't gotten pregnant yet. Actually, it was no wonder that Fucha Ming Yu was upset. If word got out that the princess was pregnant before the wife, people would laugh at her.
Zi Xun couldn't persuade her anymore, because it was useless. Whether a woman gets pregnant or not is decided by God. If God gives it to you, you have it; if God doesn't give it to you, you can't get it no matter how hard you try.
Unlike Fucha Mingyu, who harbored resentment, Xueying was quite happy to learn that Su Lufu was pregnant. After all, they were both Prince's children, and she thought she would find some time to send some gifts to express her congratulations.
Rachel said that they shouldn't send food because it's easy for someone to tamper with it. If something happens to Su Lufu's child, they'll definitely suspect the person who sent the food. Xueying thought the same thing. After thinking it over, Xueying decided to send some children's clothes. They look nice and are practical, and they can also show her love for the child.
Xueying personally sewed some children's clothes, using the finest plain silk that she had brought as part of her dowry.
Then, she had Rachel personally bring the clothes to Autumn Wind Pavilion with her.
"Princess, the concubine has arrived," Mei Ruo said to Madam Su.
When Su Lufu heard that Xueying had arrived, she was about to get up and greet her, but Xueying stopped her.
"No need for formalities, no need for formalities. You are pregnant, so there's no need for such formalities."
"Thank you, Consort Xie." Su Lu helped herself back to bed.
Xueying sat down next to her and carefully examined Su Lufu. This was her first time meeting Su Lufu. She had met her a few times in the main courtyard before and found her to have a pretty face, an elegant demeanor, and no arrogance that came with pregnancy. This improved her impression of Su Lufu considerably.
Seeing Xueying's gentle and kind nature, Su Lufu felt even more favorably toward her.
The two sat down to talk, and Xueying took out the clothes she had sewn herself to show Su Lufu.
Lady Su looked at them with great pleasure: "They're so beautiful, Consort, did you make all of these yourself?"
She was making some herself, but seeing how exquisite Xueying's work was, with its excellent embroidery and superior fabric, she developed a better impression of Xueying.
"Yes, I made all of these myself. If you like them, I'll make a few more for you."
Su Lufu waved her hand: "No need, no need, how can I trouble you? These few pieces are enough for the child."
Xueying, wanting to improve their relationship, quickly said, "It's okay. I'm just killing time by making something."
Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Su Lufu had no choice but to agree.
The two chatted for a while longer before Xueying went back.
After Xueying took her leave, Gao Xiyue arrived. Seeing that Madam Su was playing with some children's clothes, she asked, "Sister, these children's clothes are so pretty. Did you make them yourself?"
Su replied, "No, I'm not that skillful! These were sent by the concubine."
Gao was stunned. She snatched the clothes from Su's hands and threw them aside.
“Sister, how could you be so trusting? There are many insidious tricks in the inner quarters. Be careful what that concubine might have done to these clothes,” Gao Xiyue said.
Madam Su was taken aback. She hadn't considered this aspect of Madam Gao's words, because she felt that Xueying's expression and behavior showed no intention of harming anyone. However, after Madam Gao's explanation, she began to have some doubts. After all, she had no relationship with the concubine.
