As for Lord Li's wife and legitimate daughter, they lost their bet and wanted to tear a handkerchief into pieces. They had no intention of seeing the future of the illegitimate daughter.
Because they had to use the name of the ancestor's birthday to host the banquet, they had no choice but to hold it so that the whole capital would know how much they valued their concubine's daughter.
What's more, their legitimate lineage has gone astray and can only keep a low profile and seek a way to survive.
To be honest, I hate my own daughter for not growing up. She was deceived into having sex with a man with just a few sweet words. Otherwise, there would be no need to call her a bastard.
Poor girl, who has no status and no legal status, now doesn't even dare to send her daughter to the man's house, as if she were dead. The master is afraid of ruining his plans, so he doesn't dare to bet on both sides openly.
A woman cannot see that far, but she also understands that she cannot get that position. Once her daughter enters the family as a concubine, she will always be a concubine. Not only will she have no future, but she will also be looked down upon by relatives and friends who visit each other.
Unfortunately, the baby in her belly can't wait, and she has to hope that the master can find a way out for her daughter.
As for what you said about a bowl of medicine causing a miscarriage?
The damn girl kept it a secret so tightly that she didn't dare to reveal it by the time she found out.
One was that the girl's body was not in good condition, and the other was that the dead girl told Prince Shun about her pregnancy.
Prince Shun has lost his power, but he is not dead. His family is only a first-rank official, and Emperor Jing is still alive. Are you trying to abort an imperial grandson on purpose?
She could only grit her teeth and swallow her mixed-blood, hoping that the illegitimate girl would gain some respect after entering the Eastern Palace, win the favor of the prince, and give some support to the Li family.
After Xia Changsheng followed his elders to congratulate Old Madam Li on her birthday, he was arranged into the circle of aristocratic ladies.
She found some familiar sisters to play with, and also met Li Zihan, the concubine's daughter of the Li family.
We've met before, but we weren't very familiar with each other.
However, today, many noble ladies who used to look down on illegitimate daughters because of their status as legitimate daughters came to the garden. Now they are all trying to make friends with the illegitimate daughter of the Li family.
Xia Changsheng also followed the crowd and chatted and laughed with a few little sisters.
She wanted to see these people working hard later.
Li Yahan wanted to use the excuse of feeling unwell as an excuse to not come out to host the banquet.
But the Li family's ancestor and her mother cannot agree. You don't know your own situation. Your sister is about to enter the Eastern Palace and has the opportunity to soar to the sky. Why don't you make friends with her at this time? Wait until she enters the Eastern Palace and gets promoted before talking about blood relationship?
Forget it.
Seeing that your path is narrowing, if you don't seize the resources that are available now, no one in your family will care about you, a useless girl, in the future.
Li Yahan had no choice but to cheer herself up and act like a sister with the half-sister whom she had looked down upon before.
Li Zihan wanted to laugh when she saw this, but the concubine still had to make a living under the care of her stepmother. Even after entering the deep palace, she had to rely on her natal family to win favor, and she still had to flatter her own stepmother, but she was less cautious than before.
"Sister Yahan seems to have gained some weight?" Xia Changsheng said in a pretentious manner.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Yahan for a moment. She was still holding half a piece of plum cake in her hand, and there was not much snack left on the small plate beside her.
You know what, when you take a closer look, you can see that he has gained a lot of weight.
People at that time still considered thinness to be beautiful. Women in the boudoir had a fixed amount of food every day, and few of them would eat themselves fat.
Li Yahan's face turned pale for a moment, thinking that her secret had been exposed. She even wrapped her belly with white cloth, but could it be seen?
"Sister, please eat less. The princess is making fun of you for being fat." Li Zihan smiled and took the remaining half piece of cake in her elder sister's hand and put it into her mouth, as if Changsheng's words just now were a deliberate joke. She then pushed the tea to her elder sister.
Li Yahan took the tea and was about to take a gulp, but then she thought of the baby in her belly, so she just took a sip and regained her usual composure.
"I think it's because my sister has been lazy during the past few months of hibernation, so she looks a little fatter than usual." Li Yahan replied shyly.
The young ladies all felt the same way. In winter, they all hid in the warm room and ate snacks all the time, so they had to gain several pounds of weight.
As they were talking, everyone looked at each other and said that they had gained weight. Even the thin spring clothes were afraid that they could not hide it. Three or five of them gathered together to exchange ideas and go back to lose weight.
Li Yahan saw that she had passed the test and broke out in a light sweat in the still chilly garden.
She had to go back and change her clothes.
Changsheng looked at the master and servant walking away, and the corner of his mouth twisted.
Time and Space Stone: Xiao Changsheng, why don’t you just drug her? Without the baby in her belly, you can’t plot against Wang Haoze.
Changsheng: Little Stone, you think I don't want to, but the God is committed to saving the people of the world. He won't agree to us harming this innocent child? Besides, even if we don't have this child, Li Yahan will still be married off at a lower price, and Wang Haoze is still within the scope of Lord Li's choice of son-in-law.
Time and Space Stone: I told you not to call me Little Stone. This stone existed when Pangu created the world. How dare you, a sapling that has only grown for 100,000 years, call me Little Stone?
Changsheng: But I've read a lot of novels in the modern world, and what we're doing now is the quick travel + system described in the novels. The quick traveler can even name his or her own system. Little Stone, Little Stone, Little Stone...
Time and Space Stone: ...
Angry, don't want to talk, emo.
Who told me to find so many books that were not suitable for Xiao Changsheng to read in order to broaden her horizons?
For example, "The Overbearing CEO Loved Me a Hundred Times", "Ten Lifetimes of Tortured Love with a Peerless Beauty", "After Becoming a Stallion, I Led My Harem to Unify the Universe", "Cinderella and Her 100th Rich Boyfriend"...
He is simply the culprit who poisoned the young saplings of the Immortal Tree clan!
The Time and Space Stone is also helpless. Although it has the advantage in age, it has always been entrenched in the heavens. Who knew that the human world is so complicated? Its little head is not enough, but it cannot admit it.
Lunch time soon arrived, and Li Yahan instinctively wanted to stay away from Princess Changsheng.
Therefore, at the banquet, Li Yahan, the eldest daughter of the host family, was far away from the princess with the highest status present, and received a look of extreme disapproval from Madam Li.
Li Zihan was very perceptive. Although her status as a concubine's daughter was much lower, she still relied on the fact that she was about to marry into the Eastern Palace to stay with Princess Changsheng, and was as diligent as a maid.
But no one said anything. Everyone knew that she was going to enter the Eastern Palace, so it was normal for her to have good relations with the royal princess.
If they had the opportunity to enter the Eastern Palace and become empresses in the future, or even... in the future... they would also be willing to serve the princess so attentively.
Changsheng didn't care about these many lawsuits. She was only focused on her own mission.
Changsheng praised the Li family's fish with malicious intentions, and the kitchen was instructed to add three other special dishes containing fish to each of the young ladies' tables.
For a moment, a strong fishy smell hit everyone's nose. They wanted to take out a handkerchief to cover it, but they were afraid of offending the host's feelings and embarrassing Princess Changsheng.
Only Li Yahan couldn't help but retched.
