Chapter 329 Song Fengyi is Pregnant
Jiang Fenghua had just gotten up when Granny Wang rushed over, "Reporting to the Crown Princess, Consort Song is pregnant."
"It was only when Physician Wang took the pulses of the ladies that he discovered that the ladies were already more than a month pregnant," Granny Wang added.
Jiang Fenghua said calmly, "This is a good thing! Hongxiu, go and choose a few appropriate gifts to accompany me to visit Consort Song."
"Yes." After Hongxiu left, Jiang Fenghua said to Granny Wang, "This time, the Eastern Palace must not cause any more trouble. Fortunately, Consort Song is pregnant, which is a happy event. Granny, please send someone to take good care of Consort Song. Everything should be done with the imperial heir in mind."
General Peng is riding high, and now Consort Song is pregnant. It seems that the Song and Peng families have truly become the Crown Prince's new favorites.
After dealing with the Qin family, Xie Shang began recruiting soldiers to train an elite force. He did not hide these matters from the emperor, and with the emperor's approval, it was a legitimate way for him to recruit soldiers for the court.
As soon as Jiang Fenghua stepped out of the palace, she saw Lu Xuefei waiting respectfully by the door. "This servant greets the Crown Princess."
"What are you so happy about?" Jiang Fenghua asked, noticing the smile on her face, as if she were in the throes of first love.
"This servant is not happy about anything, I'm just waiting to pay my respects to the Crown Princess."
Jiang Fenghua knew she wouldn't stay in the palace for long. She was the daughter of the Lu family, lively and active, and must have been raised in a pampered environment. "Just say what you want to say. I don't like beating around the bush."
"This servant does indeed have something to ask of the Crown Princess. I would like to ask the Crown Princess to plead with the Crown Prince. It is just a small matter."
"You're so enthusiastic about such a small matter; I think it's quite significant." Jiang Fenghua is calm and reserved, which makes her seem somewhat unapproachable.
"It's not my business, it's the Eighth Prince's business, but it's not even the Eighth Prince's business either. I came to see the Crown Princess myself. He doesn't know, so I'm asking the Crown Princess for a small favor." She began to whine.
"Why are you so concerned about the Eighth Prince? Are you two very close?" In her previous life, Jiang Fenghua was not close to the Eighth Prince either; she only knew that he existed.
Lu Xuefei shook her head and then nodded, "This servant doesn't know if we're familiar or not. He always has a cold face and doesn't like to talk to people. It's really puzzling that a prince would have such an aloof personality."
Your Highness, you have no idea that although he is a prince, he lives in a place worse than even the servants. The people who serve him are also very lazy. I really don't know how he grew up in such an environment...
Last night, the Eighth Prince took Helan Jue back to his residence in the West Palace, so we all know what happened there. I even wanted to come out and testify for Princess Qingping, but the Eighth Prince stopped me, telling me not to meddle and cause trouble.
Jiang Fenghua learned from Lu Xuefei that the man who was framed with her last night was named He Lanjue, the son of Marquis He Lan of Changping. He had been suffering from a serious illness since childhood and had practically grown up in a medicine pot. Doctors had predicted that He Lanjue would die at any time since he was a child, so he was practically a man who had been living on the verge of death.
Last night, Helan Jue had a seizure and fainted, and was picked up by Consort Yan's men, and then the following events happened.
She already knew that Luo Ziqiong and Xie Yu had successfully divorced, and that the Emperor had bestowed upon Luo Ziqiong the title of Princess Qingping in order to appease the Luo family, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.
After Lu Xuefei and Xie Qi rescued He Lanjue and returned to the West Palace, they found a medicine bag on He Lanjue that could save him, which woke him up. The three of them know what happened afterward.
Jiang Fenghua said, "It's fortunate that the Eighth Prince stopped you last night. If you had really run out to testify for Princess Qingping, your Lu family might have been in trouble. Don't have any more sense of justice, otherwise your sense of justice will harm you. As for your request to help the Eighth Prince, I can't do anything about it." After saying that, she left.
Lu Xuefei chased after her, "This servant knows, but Your Highness, you really haven't been to the Eighth Prince's residence..."
Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice, "The fact that the Eighth Prince has survived such a difficult life shows that he is not stupid. The worse his living conditions are, the less likely people like Xie Xin will cause him trouble. Helping him now will only harm him."
Because that's how she lived in her previous life.
Lu Xuefei was stunned. Is that so? The palace is a really strange place. It is magnificent everywhere, but the Eighth Prince's residence is dilapidated. They don't even bother to pretend. Can't the Emperor and Empress see that?

When Jiang Fenghua arrived at Hanzhang Pavilion, Song Qing immediately bowed and greeted her, saying, "This concubine greets the Crown Princess."
Jiang Fenghua personally helped her up. "After becoming pregnant, you must be careful in everything you do, and put the baby first. Tell the people serving you to be more vigilant." She didn't want them to implicate her and make her position as Crown Princess precarious.
Song Fengyi paused for a moment, then said, "I understand. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
Jiang Fenghua left after sitting for a short while. Before leaving, she asked Granny Wang to summon all the servants of Hanzhang Pavilion for a reprimand, and no one dared to be negligent.
She could almost foresee that if Song Fengyi's pregnancy were to encounter any mishap, there would be rumors circulating both inside and outside the palace. Everyone loves to make things up, to spread rumors and hearsay, and even the Emperor might come looking for her. Therefore, Song Fengyi had to give birth safely.
She even had to take the initiative to arrange for the selection of concubines to enter the palace for the Crown Prince. The previous round was arranged by the Empress, but she avoided it by claiming to be pregnant. Now that she had no excuse, she could only bite the bullet and add concubines to the Eastern Palace for the sake of the imperial heir.
On the other side, Zhu Zhenzhen learned that Song Qing was pregnant with the emperor's child. She was so angry that she smashed the medicine bowl in her hand, "Why? What right does she have?"
Mei Xiang hurriedly went to tidy up, while Zhu Zhenzhen stared coldly at Xia He and Xia Chan, then knocked the tea set off the table to the ground with a loud crash.
She said coldly, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and pack up."
Xia He and Xia Chan never imagined that the usually gentle and kind Zhu Liangdi would have such a face. She must be holding a grudge against them for exposing her actions in front of His Highness the Crown Prince.
The two dared not refuse and quickly squatted down to clean up. Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhenzhen kicked one of them, and the two instantly knelt on the broken bowl, their hands supporting them on it. Blood flowed out, and the pain made their eyes red.
Zhu Zhenzhen was finally satisfied. She sat down again and said indifferently, "I only asked you to clean up the broken bowls. You are all so careless and clumsy. From now on, you can serve in the courtyard."
It means that they were to be made to work as lowly maids. Although Granny Wang sent them here to be head maids, they dared not disobey, since they were just servants.
After the two left, Meixiang said, "Miss sent them to do rough work. What will we say to Granny Wang when she finds out?"
"The people sent to my palace are not under the control of the people from Chenxi Palace. If they are not satisfied, they can leave Yuling Palace, and I will not stop them." She wanted to figure out how to get rid of Song Qing's child and then frame the Crown Princess.
If something happens to the Crown Prince's Palace one after another, the Crown Princess will be the first person suspected.
