Main courtyard.
"Look, this Dongzhu was given to your father by His Majesty, and your mother kept it." Mrs. Lin showed Wushuang a box and said happily.
"It's for your dowry."
"This pomegranate red with thousands of threads was made by my mother a while ago. It symbolizes many children and good fortune. It will also be given to you as a dowry."
"These... and these... those... all of them are your dowry." Mrs. Lin said excitedly to Wushuang.
Wushuang looked at her like this and did not interrupt her. She smiled and accepted the things given by Mrs. Lin, poured her tea with a smile, and threw a fitness pill into it for Mrs. Lin to drink.
"Mom, have some tea and don't tire yourself out." Wushuang said with a smile.
Mrs. Lin was happy today not necessarily because of whether her daughter would be happy in the future, but because she could become the mother of the Crown Princess, or the mother of the future Queen.
But she was indeed very happy and was willing to leave her treasured things to her daughter as a dowry. Wushuang didn't care about anything else and was willing to give her something in return.
Judging from her actions rather than her heart, Mrs. Lin is indeed very good to her daughter.
"My Wushuang is truly filial," Mrs. Lin said happily as she took the tea her daughter poured and drank it. "I knew he would be successful in the future, and it turned out just as I expected."
Originally, Mrs. Lin thought that her daughter's appearance was unlikely to make her the Crown Princess or the Queen, and she only thought that it would be great if she could marry into the royal family and become a princess, or the Emperor's noble concubine.
I didn't expect her daughter to be so successful.
The Crown Princess! That's the Crown Princess!
The current Crown Prince Yun Yin is the emperor's legitimate son and the only son of the late queen. He was also raised by His Majesty the Emperor himself.
The queen fell ill after giving birth to the prince. She had a difficult delivery because she was afraid that she would die on the same day and it would leave a shadow on her child.
If she died right after giving birth, her child's birthday would be her death anniversary every year. How could her son live a comfortable life?
So the queen managed to hold on for several days. Even though she was in great pain, she still stayed in bed for a month and passed away when the prince was one month old.
After the Queen passed away, His Majesty appointed Yun Yin as the Crown Prince.
Until now, His Majesty has not appointed another empress, so Yun Yin is the emperor's only legitimate son, and his position as crown prince is unshakable.
After all, Yun Yin was raised by His Majesty the Emperor. He lived in the Emperor's palace since he was one month old and only moved to the East Palace after he grew up.
With such great favor, no one would think that the prince could not ascend the throne. He must be the future emperor.
Wushuang knew, however, that Yun Yin would really be crippled.
Why?
Because Emperor Yun Ye was a very long-lived emperor, he even lived to the age of 88. He reigned for a total of 55 years. In the following years, he abdicated and became the emperor emeritus.
When Prince Yun Yin was young and strong, Emperor Yun Ye was already old and began to be wary of his outstanding prince.
Emperor Yun Ye has more than one son, Yun Yin, he has several other sons, so the fight for the throne began.
Although it was not as fierce as the Nine Dragons' Struggle for Succession in the Qing Dynasty, the Yun Yin brothers still did not end up well.
In the end, Yun Ye abdicated, and the one who took the throne was not any of his sons, but his grandson.
Even this grandson is not Yun Yin's.
Yun Yin didn't have a son. The Crown Princess gave birth to a daughter, and his concubines only gave birth to two daughters. He had no other sons.
Perhaps Yun Yin was deposed because he had no son.
"The Crown Prince's backyard is now clean and tidy. You will be blessed if you marry him." Madam Lin said happily, "When the time comes, hurry up and give birth to a legitimate son. That way, whether the Crown Prince takes concubines in the future or not, your position will not be shaken."
Mrs. Lin didn't have any idea of letting a man stay with her alone. She herself couldn't get Master Lin to stay with her alone, so how could she ask her daughter to tie him down to a man?
Moreover, childbirth was really dangerous in ancient times, and frequent childbirth was indeed harmful to the body. Therefore, women would take concubines and let other women give birth to children for their husbands to ensure their own health.
Back then, Madam Lin gave birth to two sons in succession, and only after she had established herself on her own feet did she give birth to children for Grand Tutor Lin's concubine. In order to protect her own health, she even took in several concubines for Grand Tutor Lin.
It was not until she recovered her body and completely regained her health that she gave birth to her daughter Wushuang.
Therefore, there is a big age gap between Wushuang and her two brothers who have the same mother, especially her eldest brother.
She is sixteen years old this year, and her older brother is already twenty-eight years old, twelve years older than her.
This is because Mrs. Lin raised the baby for many years before she was willing to have a third child for the sake of her own health and her own life.
Wushuang listened to what Mrs. Lin taught her about how to control her husband and manage the household after marriage, and she said obediently that she understood.
Giving birth does cause great harm to other women, but it really does not cause any harm to her, a pomegranate spirit.
This is her innate skill. After practicing it till now, she can give birth to quintuplets without any harm to her body.
But she didn't plan to give birth to quintuplets in every pregnancy, and she certainly didn't plan to let Yun Yin take a concubine.
Yun Yin's backyard is now clean and there is not even a concubine, so there is no need for her to make things difficult for herself.
How could she possibly share her unparalleled man with someone else?
"Let me tell you, although there is no queen in the palace, the imperial concubine is very powerful... and the eldest prince born to the imperial concubine is also very ambitious. If you marry into the Eastern Palace, you'd better be careful." Madam Lin warned.
"And His Majesty," Madam Lin frowned. "After all, His Majesty raised the Crown Prince single-handedly. He might be interested in the Crown Prince's daily affairs, no matter how big or small..."
"If you marry into the Eastern Palace, His Majesty will definitely keep a very strict watch on you..." Mrs. Lin felt a little uncomfortable when she thought about her daughter living under the emperor's surveillance.
Mrs. Lin herself would definitely not be able to stand such a suffocating atmosphere.
After she married Master Lin, she was very free. Although Master Lin would restrain her behavior, he would not restrict her actions.
She often goes out to check on the businesses she manages and socializes with others, so she has a high degree of freedom.
After so many years, Mrs. Lin could no longer bear the life of staying at home.
But her daughter is different. If she marries into the palace, how can she leave the palace at will?
Wushuang smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother, your daughter will not be wronged."
Let her stay in the palace like a prisoner?
That's impossible.
Besides, she didn't really enter the harem, she just entered the Eastern Palace. Why can't she leave the palace often?
The emperor takes care of his son, so does he also have to take care of whether his daughter-in-law goes out?
Who cares how loving your son and daughter-in-law are?
If this is true, then this emperor has a real control abnormality.
