Chapter 379 The First Wife Given Away by Her Husband (17)
Lady Nan'an was somewhat disappointed in her son. What man doesn't take concubines? He wanted to have more children, so he took women in. He was already unwilling to have only two concubines.
She didn't know that he wasn't unwilling to accept it; he was afraid that if he did, his life would be miserable.
Although he never promised the princess that he would only have her as his wife, he took a concubine right after their marriage. Would his father-in-law forgive him if he found out?
"Xuan'er, let's go back to the main courtyard first. Don't worry, I have no intention of taking concubines. Right now, nothing is more important than the child in your belly."
It means that once the child is settled, he will consider taking in a concubine.
Pang Xuan'er thought of what the princess had once said and suddenly realized how naive she had been to want to spend her time alone with her husband.
"You go ahead with your work, I'll go back by myself."
The heir of the Marquis of Nan'an happened to have something to say to his mother, so he watched her leave.
Pang Xuan'er did not return to her own courtyard, but went back to the Prince's Mansion. She immediately told him about her mother-in-law's plan to send someone to her husband.
"Men will take concubines sooner or later. You should have been mentally prepared before you got married. Why can't you accept it now?"
"Your Highness, if it were you, could you tolerate your man sleeping with other women?"
Ning Yan looked at her with a half-smile, "Didn't you insist on giving your aunt to your father before?"
Pang Xuan'er lowered her head in shame. She realized that some things could only be understood through personal experience. "Your Highness, I was wrong before."
"Princess, you must know that this is the environment we live in. Men can have multiple wives and concubines."
"If the Crown Prince hadn't been subjectively unwilling to take a concubine, no matter what you did, you couldn't change the outcome."
Pang Xuan'er: "If you were a princess, how would you react to something like this?"
Ning Yan wants to say: I never make things difficult for myself.
Since he prefers other people's beds, then he shouldn't sleep with mine. The outside world is more exciting, and I can always make a good living.
But Pang Xuan'er couldn't. As a royal princess, she couldn't allow even the slightest bad news to get out.
Ning Yan gave her two pills. "The baby in your womb should be a boy. Your husband is destined to have five sons and four daughters in his life, but you are destined to have only one son."
One of these two pills is a pill that prevents one from having any more offspring; once taken, one will never be able to conceive again.
This pill is an impotence pill; if he takes it, he will be unable to have sexual intercourse.
Both pills are colorless and odorless, dissolve instantly in water, and have an immediate effect after ingestion.
"Infertility?"
Good heavens, the princess is too ruthless! She resorts to inhumanity!
Father, you must hold on and not anger the Queen.
"If you don't want to use it, just throw it away. It's just taking a concubine. You'll get used to it eventually."
A man who takes one concubine will take a second, a third, a fourth, a fifth... unless he can no longer have sex.
Pang Xuan'er left in a daze; only the two of them knew about her conversation with Ning Yan.
Upon returning home, she discovered that the two women assigned by her mother-in-law were already in her courtyard. Without asking, she knew that the man had brought them back.
"Xuan'er, they are here to serve you. Don't worry, I won't touch them. If I don't bring them back, Mother will be angry with you."
Pang Xuan'er felt a chill in her heart.
How long have they been married? Less than four months.
Only four months later, her husband's family was already trying to put someone in her room.
She was still a princess.
Thinking of the two pills in her arms, Pang Xuan'er smiled at her husband, "My husband is so thoughtful. You'll have to take in people sooner or later, and I feel more at ease with the people my mother gave me."
"Xia'er, go pour the young master a cup of hot tea."
Seeing that she wasn't angry, the heir of the Marquis of Nan'an breathed a sigh of relief and took a sip of his hot tea.
The two of them, as before, chatted intimately about things outside.
The heir of the Marquis of Nan'an was amorous, but he wasn't interested in just any woman. His mother knew his temperament well, so the women she chose were all exceptionally beautiful.
After Pang Xuan'er took her afternoon nap that day, the maid named Ziyun was summoned to the prince's study.
The two men, with the beauty adding fragrance to their sleeves, gazed at each other with tender affection, their eyes practically squinting with longing.
If it weren't for the fact that Pang Xuan'er would look for someone after her afternoon nap, they probably would have slept together by noon.
After her master woke up, Xia'er told him about it.
Pang Xuan'er chuckled, "Go get me an ice bowl, and also get the young master one to cool him down."
The princess is right. Some things can't be stopped, and she'll have to get used to them sooner or later.
After the Marquis of Nan'an's heir arrived, the two chatted for a while. He said he would sleep in the main courtyard that night, but Pang Xuan'er refused. "I'm pregnant now and it's inconvenient for me. Why don't you just have those two maids' faces removed? But I'm a jealous person, so don't let me know if you sleep with other women. Let them serve you in the front courtyard."
The heir of the Marquis of Nan'an stared blankly at his wife. "You...you really don't mind?"
Pang Xuan'er: "Do you want me to mind or not?"
...
That night, the heir of the Marquis of Nan'an did not sleep with the two concubines, but instead insisted on sleeping in the main courtyard, holding them tightly. This annoyed Pang Xuan'er to no end. She was pregnant and already had many thoughts and was irritable. The weather was also so hot, and the man was holding her so tightly that she was so angry that she almost hit him.
The more she acted this way, the more the Marquis of Nan'an felt that Pang Xuan'er was angry with him, and the less he dared to leave the main courtyard.
After pestering her for several days, Pang Xuan'er simply took her maid and went out shopping, bird-walking, and music every day. Occasionally, she would also invite the princesses from the palace to go to the brothel to see the new top courtesan.
The heir of the Marquis of Nan'an was exhausted from searching for his child's mother every day, and had no time to sleep with other women.
Lady Nan'an was furious, but she was completely helpless against Pang Xuan'er.
When Pang Xuan'er first entered the manor, she was quite respectful to her and would give her some of her good things as gifts.
Ever since she became pregnant and started sending women into her son's room, this princess has ignored her.
They're not even willing to do the basic things like giving gifts or waking up at dawn and dusk.
She couldn't say it yet. After all, that was the legitimate daughter of the Prince of Yue. Pang Xuan'er wouldn't let her manipulate her. If things really turned sour, the good days of their Nan'an Marquis's mansion would be over.
...
"Your Highness, do you know that that old hag used to try to control me, but now she's extremely docile and spends her free time chanting sutras in the small Buddhist hall?"
I've seen through it all. With my father backing me up, I can live however I want wherever I go, and no one will dare to bully me.
Jin Shenglai is terrified I'll cheat on him, so he watches me every day, following me everywhere.
Ning Yan glanced at her big belly: "You should calm down. You're due in a month. Your father has been nagging you every day lately, afraid that you won't take things seriously."
"I know what's important. This is my only child in this life, and I will definitely protect him well."
Ning Yan shook her chubby son, "Look at your sister! She's about to become a little uncle. Aren't we happy, little dumpling?"
The little dumpling reached out towards her older sister, Pang Xuan'er, because she often came home, and the eight-month-old little guy was very familiar with her sister.
