"Mother, why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
Ultimately, they were talking about her own marriage. Although Jiang Wuyou hadn't reached marriageable age yet, she already understood everything she needed to know.
Marriage is a major life event, decided by parents and matchmakers; a mere young woman like her has no say in the matter.
But she also knew that as the Empress's niece, she would marry someone of high status.
His Highness Prince Jing is quite good; he has black hair, wears red robes, rides a spirited horse, and even saved my life...
Furthermore, her parents had already intended to marry her off to Prince Jing or the Crown Prince, so her future husband was very likely to be Prince Jing.
Thinking of her beloved, Jiang Wuyou's face flushed red.
Her fair cheeks looked as if they were rouged, making her exceptionally beautiful.
Although she hadn't fully grown up yet, as a daughter of the Jiang family, she was pampered and pampered, and had countless milk baths, so naturally she was more beautiful than the average woman.
Looking at her pampered youngest daughter, Jiang's mother sighed with emotion at how quickly time had passed and how her daughter had reached the age of youthful infatuation.
In the blink of an eye, she has grown from a tiny little girl under my knees into a graceful young woman.
Because of the incident a few days ago when my daughter encountered bandits at the temple and was rescued by Prince Jing, my daughter seems to have fallen in love with His Highness Prince Jing.
However, Jiang's mother was happy to see this happen, and took Jiang Wuyou's little hand and patted it.
"Silly daughter, your mother is doing this for your own good. We can do something, but we can't let others benefit from our efforts."
"The position of Crown Princess may not be yours, but trust your mother, the position of Princess Jing will surely be yours."
"Mother, what are you saying?"
Jiang Wuyou lowered her head shyly, as if her secret had been revealed, and her voice was full of embarrassment.
Jiang's mother would not give up asking questions just because of those two sentences, because this matter was very important.
It is important to both her daughter and the Jiang family.
She has already lost a son and Jiang Nian; she can't let her daughter become cannon fodder in vain!
"Good Wuyou, tell your mother quickly, has the Princess Consort mentioned when to propose marriage?"
"Mother, she told the Prince and Princess that once I come of age, she will request the Emperor to grant me a marriage decree, and also..."
He even gave the jade bracelet he had intended for his daughter-in-law to his daughter in advance.
As Jiang Wuyou spoke, he pulled open his sleeve, revealing a jade bracelet of excellent quality.
The jade bracelet is clear and translucent in a purplish-blue color. Purple is a rare color in jade, and now it has been made into a bracelet by a highly skilled craftsman, making it even more eye-catching.
Although the item is of excellent quality, it has no signature or markings on it.
When Jiang's mother saw it, she frowned slightly, as if she had seen something she was not satisfied with, and was a little disappointed.
"It's not enough; it's far from enough to cover the risks we take in doing things."
Her voice carried a sinister undertone, and her eyes narrowed slightly, sending chills down the spines of those who heard her.
Jiang Wuyou couldn't help but shudder, completely bewildered, and asked his mother in confusion.
"Mother, what do we need to do? What's not enough?"
"Oh, my silly daughter, do you think Prince Jing will still have any hope of ascending to the throne if the Crown Princess gives birth to this child?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the worries that Jiang Wuyou had just put aside returned.
Yes, if the Crown Prince has a stable heir, when will it be the turn of Prince Jing's lineage?
It seems that the only possible outcome is rebellion!
In fact, in the original storyline, King Jing rebelled and ascended the throne, but because his claim to the throne was illegitimate, he was almost overthrown.
Only after Liu Lingxi was made empress and her eldest son, the child she had with Emperor Sheng Jin, was named crown prince, was the matter finally settled.
However, in the original story, Sheng Changling also fell in love with Liu Lingxi at first sight, which is why he agreed to the throne at that time, and a hundred years later he really passed the throne to the crown prince.
It can be said that Liu Lingxi is the true female lead in the original story, and she is undoubtedly a winner in life.
However, it was ruined by certain people, leading to Liu Lingxi's tragic death, which resulted in the arrival of Lingtu Xixi.
However, no one knows for sure...
When Jiang's mother saw Jiang Wuyou staring blankly into space, she knew that Jiang Wuyou had taken her words to heart.
"Then... Mother, what should we do?"
Jiang Wuyou understood this, looked helplessly at her mother, and tightly gripped her sleeve.
"You don't need to think about that for now. Leave everything to Mother."
"Um."
Jiang's mother looked towards the direction of the palace, a ruthless glint in her eyes.
Some people... shouldn't be born, lest they block their daughter's path to success.
...
Meanwhile, inside the palace, the people of Chonghua Palace were still immersed in this joy, completely unaware—
Someone has already set their sights on them and wants to harm their young master.
The sun was shining brightly, and a gentle breeze caressed everyone's faces, making everyone beam with joy.
Zhengde Hall.
The Crown Prince was so excited he was practically dancing with joy, his heart completely devoted to his Crown Princess.
He embraced Liu Lingxi from behind, took her small hand and placed it on her stomach, whispering something.
"Xi'er, did you hear that? In nine months, we will have a healthy little prince born. The imperial physician said he will be very strong."
"Yes, I didn't expect that either."
Even now, Liu Lingxi still thinks she's dreaming, and she's still rubbing her belly in a daze.
As the prince was looking at it, he suddenly slapped his forehead, making a crisp "smack" sound.
"Yes, look how silly I am. I was so busy sending Physician Wang away that I forgot to ask about the pregnant woman's preferences."
"Your Highness, it's alright. We'll just send someone to the Imperial Hospital to ask. Look how strong you are; you've even slapped yourself until you're red."
Liu Lingxi moved his hand down and tenderly covered the red mark on his forehead with her fingers.
Such a loving and affectionate scene was witnessed by Emperor Sheng Jin, who had just arrived.
He stopped and stopped the palace servants from announcing his arrival, and quietly watched the scene unfold in the main hall.
As he watched, the hands hidden beneath the wide dragon robe began to clench tightly, the knuckles turning white from the pressure.
The jade thumb ring had shattered into two pieces in his hand at some point, digging deep into his flesh and causing a sharp pain.
But even though my fingers hurt, it couldn't compare to the pain in my heart right now.
Countless imaginings from his barren mind could not compare to the shock of seeing it with his own eyes!
So this is how the Crown Princess interacts with the Crown Prince in private—it's even more enviable than I imagined.
Sheng Jin felt that the jealousy in his eyes was impossible to hide, but he had no intention of taking it back.
All of this was witnessed by the Empress, who rushed over at the last minute.
She clenched her fingers tightly, but still smiled and greeted the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, may Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings."
