The women who had given birth at the scene couldn't help but frown and look a few more times.
In particular, there was a young woman at the scene who had just become pregnant. Her reaction was exactly the same as Li Yahan's, and her mother-in-law generously admitted that her daughter-in-law was pregnant.
In stark contrast to the lively congratulations from everyone, Old Lady Li and Madam Li had pale faces, trying hard to suppress their anger and panic.
How quick I was to order more dishes just now, how much I regret it now.
How could I forget that this girl is pregnant and can't stand the smell of these things?
He quickly ordered the tactless maid to help his master go back to wash up, and then called for the court doctor to see if he had caught a cold.
Old Madam Li tried her best to save face and told everyone that Li Yahan was just feeling unwell, but she couldn't let the female relatives present think too much and exaggerate the situation.
After this incident, the female guests who were dining there lost their spirits. The banquet ended hastily, and the host arranged for them to stroll around the garden and watch a play.
Li Yahan left the dining room and took a sour plum from her purse to press on her mouth. She felt much better instantly. There was no need to call a doctor, as family members knew their own business.
But because of what happened just now, she no longer had to go to the front to deal with the customers.
She just asked the maid beside her whether the person she asked her to invite had arrived.
The girl looked like she was about to cry but couldn't. She looked even more miserable than if her parents had died. Li Yahan was furious.
This new girl is not as considerate as the previous ones.
But there's nothing we can do. All the people we used before were killed or sold off by the elders. This new guy looks like he's not capable of taking on the responsibility, so if we don't use him, there's no one else to use him.
Li Yahan was extremely irritated, and because she had just smelled a strong fishy smell, her stomach was churning again.
But if she didn't take advantage of the family banquet today and the lax control of the gatekeeper, she would not be able to contact Prince Shun, and could only wait for her father to marry her off to some random nobody.
How could she be willing to see her half-sister rise to prominence and suppress her?
She is the eldest daughter of the Li family, and it is natural for her to enjoy the happiness of becoming the queen.
"Why are you crying like that? Did you mess up what I asked you to do?" Li Yahan was very annoyed, but she still had to ask patiently.
Everyone in front is having a meal, so now is the best opportunity.
"I dare not, I dare not. While the young lady was changing clothes, I asked my brother to deliver a letter to Shun Wangfu. My brother just delivered the message, saying that he was able to see the steward of Shun Wangfu after delivering the token given by the young lady."
So I don’t know if Prince Shun can come to the Li Mansion to see his young lady in such a short time.
Of course Prince Shun couldn't come, but he had Xia Changsheng's help.
Xia Changsheng encouraged her brother to come to the Li Mansion to pick her and her mother up after leaving the yamen, and her brother naturally did not object.
As luck would have it, her brother has been working with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recently.
The prince thought that this was the new bride's family, so he gave Lord Li some face and went to celebrate his birthday together.
Although Prince Shun had just been conferred the title of prince by Emperor Jing, and seemed to be intending to leave his fiefdom immediately, he was unwilling to do so. The Crown Prince mediated between them, acting like a wise monarch who was friendly to his brothers and broad-minded. Emperor Jing loved Prince Shun, and with the support of his mother, he was naturally reluctant to let him go.
So Prince Shun is still squatting in his original position, but he has been staying in the mansion these days to avoid the prince's attention.
Although the prince has taken over most of the government affairs, he has not yet officially ascended the throne, which inevitably makes some people have unrealistic thoughts.
Prince Shun originally didn't want to go to Li's house. He had seen how snobbish Lord Li was.
But when he heard that the prince had gone to the Li Mansion and received a message from Miss Li, his mind became active again.
If he could annoy Lord Li a little, Prince Shun would feel a little better.
What's more, his father's health is really bad, and he also wants to drag Lord Li onto his boat. In case he wants to do something, wouldn't that give him a better chance of success?
Therefore, it was assumed that the royal family would have people coming from Prince Gong's Mansion, but who would have thought that the Crown Prince would come? This was really a great honor, after all, Emperor Jing was still ill.
It is said that Emperor Jing saw that he was in trouble, so he wanted to quickly make his favorite son a king and send him to his fiefdom.
I don’t know if it was because he appointed the crown prince and other princes, and saw that the crown prince was indeed tolerant, that his worries were gone, and his health gradually improved.
The head of the Imperial Medical Bureau was wondering if it was a last gasp, but after feeling the pulse, it was indeed much better, and it seemed that he could still live.
When Li Zihan heard that the Crown Prince was coming, she could hardly hide the pride in her eyes. Her status in this family was completely different.
When Li Yahan heard that the prince was coming, she became so angry that her stomach started to hurt even more.
When I heard that Prince Shun had come with them, I finally felt a little relieved.
Then she quickly ordered the maid to lead Prince Shun to the rockery by the lake, as she had something important to say to him.
If she failed to do her job well again, she would ask her mother to sell the little girl to a brothel.
The little girl had no way forward or backward, so she could only find ways to do things for the young lady.
However, Prince Shun did not go to the lake as Li Yahan requested, but went to the guest room instead.
Li Yahan had no choice but to avoid the crowd and go to the guest rooms.
Prince Shun was changing his clothes that were wet with tea when Li Yahan pushed the door open and walked in.
Prince Shun thought it was his own servant, but he never expected a warm body to wrap around him, and he immediately knew who the person was.
I even felt that the tea on my clothes had a source.
"Prince, don't you miss me these days? Even if you don't miss me, you should think about the baby in my belly." Li Yahan flattered him. There are all kinds of beauties in the backyard of Prince Shun's mansion.
In the past, she relied on her father being a minister and being able to help Prince Shun. However, after she really followed Prince Shun, her father actually became cautious and did not allow her to enter Prince Shun's mansion. She waited until Emperor Jing conferred titles on the crown prince and other princes.
However, the prince who was the most favored by His Majesty and whom they had been favoring openly and secretly was only given the title of Prince Shun.
Her father, Lord Li, immediately presented his concubine's daughter to the Eastern Palace with great fanfare to show his determination, while at the same time carefully raising his legitimate daughter who was pregnant with the royal heir.
If her father valued the child in her belly, he should not have sent a concubine's daughter into the Eastern Palace, nor should he have hidden it from Prince Shun, and he should not have secretly asked her mother to pick up her dowry.
The finest gold and silver treasures in her dowry were all given to her half-sister, while her half-sister's belongings that were not presentable were actually left to her by her biological mother to show off.
She didn't know what kind of family her parents were planning to marry her into, but she felt that her life would be impossible in the future.
Even if she became a concubine of Prince Shun with no name or status, it would be better than being at the mercy of her parents at home.
"Of course I miss you. I miss you so much." Although Prince Shun was prepared, he was still pleased by the woman's admiring eyes.
"Concubine Wen's health is getting worse and worse. She probably won't survive this summer. If you don't mind, you can come to my house and stay here for a while. I will only reserve the position of concubine for you." As he said this, he touched Li Yahan's belly. The baby was almost four months pregnant. It seemed that she couldn't wait for Concubine Wen to die.
