The seventh prince is the saint's beloved son, and the palace closely monitors his every move.
When the seventh prince entered the palace, he would involuntarily mention Zhao Qingyun and everything about the Zhao family in front of the emperor and empress.
The saint doesn't care about the trivial matters of the Zhao family.
However, Han Jiaojiao, the sickly girl, did not suffer any bullying or injustice when she went to the Zhao family. Instead, she lived a very comfortable life, which made the saint very satisfied.
"This Zhao Qingyun is pretty good!"
He took care of everything at home and outside, and didn't even let his sick wife worry about things like training slaves.
Princess Nanping lived a good life after her marriage, and it was because he, the emperor, had granted her a good marriage.
"If Nanping can give birth to another child, I will have done justice to Princess Yongjia in her final resting place."
Privately, the Saint said this to the Queen.
What he actually wanted to say was that as long as Nanping could marry and have children like an ordinary woman, the cause and effect between the royal family and the Huo family would have come to the most perfect conclusion.
Soon, the "end" came!
Less than half a year after Han Jiaojiao got married, she announced the good news that shocked everyone.
"Pregnant? Han Jiaojiao is actually pregnant?
"How is that possible? Isn't she dying?"
"Who said that? Do I need anyone to tell me? She vomits blood all the time."
"You're going to die if you vomit blood? Haha, people have been vomiting blood for years and are still sick and alive."
The powerful people in the capital were talking about it.
Those noble ladies who once despised Han Jiaojiao as a barren sickly girl could not help but regret it.
If I had known that Han Jiaojiao was fertile, I would have asked for her to marry for the sake of my children and grandchildren.
So much dowry, the favor of the Queen Mother and the Saint, and the influence of the Huo family were all enjoyed by Zhao Qingyun, a mere farmer!
However, his own children and grandchildren are still fighting fiercely for the quota of family inheritance.
These noble ladies were just regretful, but the stepmother of Duke Cheng'en was indeed filled with resentment.
She had long regarded Han Jiaojiao as her "lifelong enemy".
In the past few months, the stepmother has been waiting for the "good news" that Han Jiaojiao is seriously ill or even dead.
After waiting for a long time, I only heard that the Zhuangyuan Mansion would occasionally invite an imperial physician, but Han Jiaojiao was still living a weak and sickly life.
She can also accompany her equally frail mother-in-law, and the two of them eat, drink, play and stroll around the East and West Markets like real mother and daughter.
Sweet little stories about Mr. Zhao and Princess Nanping would pop up from time to time in the capital.
What happened? Zhao Zhuangyuan left the court and ran around half the city to buy freshly baked rose cakes for his wife and mother.
When Zhao Zhuangyuan was on leave, he personally sent his wife and mother to the Taoist temples and nunneries on the outskirts of the city to worship Buddha.
What……
Because he had Gu as his mother, Zhao Zhuangyuan's various actions of caring for his wife did not attract criticism.
He didn't forget his mother after getting married.
Nor did he wrong the bride in order to be filial to his mother.
In Zhao Zhuangyuan's heart, his mother and wife are probably equally important.
In this era, a man who can do this has already made countless women and mothers-in-law envious.
Good husband, good son!
Filial piety and marital affection are all taken into consideration.
Unlike the son-in-law of the Zheng family next door.
He only cares about his wife but ignores his parents and siblings.
Ji Keji's various "wife-chasing crematoriums" are only envied and yearned for by young girls.
Mothers and older people would just shake their heads when they heard this.
Alas, knowing that Ji Keji married into the Yue family, his father-in-law and wife were both very kind to him.
But, but there is no need to be so humble.
Although the bride is praised so highly, she is actually also subject to criticism - for seducing and instigating men.
A woman who cannot support her husband cannot be considered a virtuous wife, no matter how outstanding she is.
Everyone was complaining in their hearts, and some of their classmates and colleagues who were jealous of Ji Keji's "good luck" even deliberately bullied Ji Keji in person.
He was sarcastic and pointed fingers at others, and he was just short of pointing at Ji Keji's nose and calling him a son-in-law.
Ji Keji: ...What do you know?
My wife is my lucky star.
Although he said this in his heart, Ji Keji was not completely indifferent to the strange looks from everyone.
However, he is no longer the willful boy who easily gets carried away by success.
He learned to endure and to disguise.
For the sake of his lofty ambitions, he can play the role of a wife-doting maniac for the rest of his life!
Zheng Wanjun: ...never mind, I won't take it too seriously. If a man can lie to a woman for a lifetime, it's a form of "deep affection," isn't it?
No matter what the truth is, on the surface, Zheng Wanjun and Ji Keji are a well-known loving couple.
Compared with their earth-shattering displays of affection and love, Zhao Qingyun and Han Jiaojiao are much more "low-key".

If Han Jiaojiao hadn't been pregnant, the whole capital would have probably forgotten that she had married into the Zhao family.
"How could she be pregnant?"
"Ha! I knew that little bitch was faking illness, but you guys just don't believe me!"
"Wow, I was once the Duke's wife, but ended up like this. It's all Han Jiaojiao's fault!"
"Oh my God, you are blind!"
In the Buddhist temple, the stepmother, whose mind had long been twisted by hatred, cried out to the Buddha statue.
"No! I can't let that little bitch have her way!"
The stepmother took out the little man again and started to stab it like crazy.
