After Mo Kuangshen got married, Mo Junmao remembered to give his son a title and make him a king. So, except for the crown prince, each prince had his own title. Mo Kuangshen was named King Lin, Mo Youchi was named King Duan, and so on.
Guan Nuannuan officially became the Princess of Lin. The Queen was overjoyed and felt much more at ease. She was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law. Not only did she not get any concubines for her, she also warned Mo Kuangshen not to bully Guan Nuannuan.
Mo Kuangshen had finally married the woman he loved, so how could he bully her? Moreover, the two of them had known each other since childhood and had been getting along for more than ten years. They had already understood each other and had a tacit understanding with each other.
After Guan Nuannuan got married, the only young person in the family also left, but the family life still went on. Tu Yufan was busy with court affairs, and Emperor Mo Junmao was becoming more and more overwhelmed. He was seriously ill these days and the crown prince was the regent. He originally asked Concubine Wen to take care of her, but Concubine Wen always cried and said what would happen to the mother and son after he left, which made the emperor's condition worse. Finally, he had no choice but to drive her away and replace her with Empress Zhen to serve him.
Only then did Concubine Wen feel that the situation was irreversible. She was horrified to find that once Mo Junmao passed away, her life and death, honor and disgrace would all depend on Empress Zhen.
If she was willing to take the initiative to ease the relationship, there might be a glimmer of hope, but she had been held in the palm of Mo Junmao's hand for many years, and she had become arrogant. He always suppressed the queen, and she had developed an arrogant and domineering character, and was unwilling to bow to her.
.........
Here, at Tu Yufan's father's home, he saw his father An Xingshuang sitting in the pavilion in a daze. Normally, she liked to play with her orchid, but now she was looking at the pond alone, without putting down the fish food in her hand for a long time.
"Xingshuang, what's wrong with you?"
"My husband!" An Xingshuang looked up in surprise. Seeing that it was Tu Yufan, she slowly let out a breath: "Your Majesty has not recovered yet?"
"This is unspeakable." Tu Yufan thought that Mo Junmao probably wouldn't last much longer, so he decided to refrain from talking about it, lest someone hear him. "You looked so distraught just now, what happened? We've been married for many years, you don't have to worry about anything."
An Xingshuang forced herself to raise the corner of her mouth: "I attended the banquet for the wife of Duke Zheng before. She made insinuations to the other wives of the clan, saying that I was not generous enough to give birth to a son, which led to your husband being childless and a shame to our ancestors."
Madam Zheng? Isn't she the sister of Concubine Wen? She doesn't behave herself and dares to jump out and pick a fight with An Xingshuang. After all, people from the same family are alike.
"Don't take this kind of thing to heart. Your husband is not the only one in our Guan family. Your uncle and his family are living well in Huangyun Village. And how can Nuannuan not be considered our descendant?"
Tu Yufan comforted her, but he also knew that An Xingshuang was only unhappy for a moment. He had treated her consistently for so many years and gave her enough respect and trust. She would not be frightened by such a situation at all.
It was probably because Duke Zheng was a playboy and liked to flirt with other women. Recently, there were rumors that he had a mistress, which made the wife of the Duke's mansion lose face and feel very unhappy. It just so happened that An Xingshuang was the same age as her, and she seemed to be a generation younger than her in appearance. Jealousy made people unrecognizable, so she did such irrational things. An Xingshuang did not tolerate it and left the scene with a cold face.
Before Tu Yufan started to act, Empress Zhen took out her anger on An Xingshuang. Recently, the vassal states had paid tribute to several beauties, and the prince gave all of them to Duke Zheng. It is said that the wife of Duke Zheng smashed a room full of porcelain cabinets that night.
From then on, no one dared to say anything half-truthful in front of An Xingshuang.
At this time, the emperor woke up once, sat in the study and saw no one. The next day, he appointed a relative to Prince Duan, and also appointed concubines to several other princes. However, the concubine appointed to Mo Kuangshen was forcefully rejected by Empress Zhen.
