Chapter 1041 Fu Ming (2)
Ye Hongguang, however, was very fond of Ye Mei and Ye Ke, perhaps because he felt that the Ye Mansion had been deserted for years, and the sudden arrival of brothers and sisters was always a source of joy. He was also very simple-minded, as innocent as a child, and didn't seem like someone who had been raised in the Ye family. But considering that he never left the house, and besides playing chess with Ye Maocai, he would read, it was natural for him to have such a simple personality.
Ye Mei smiled and said, "Third brother, what's the matter?"
Ye Hongguang looked neither like Ye Maocai nor Madam Ye. He probably resembled the deceased concubine, with delicate features. He smiled, "Dad asked you to go to the study, so I came by to give the Nine Linked Rings to Big Sister. I heard Big Sister is an expert at deciphering them, so I brought them here."
Ye Mei took the nine-linked ring and said, "Once I have untied it, I will personally deliver it to my third brother."
"Thank you, big sister!" Ye Hongguang seemed very excited.
Ye Mei smiled slightly and looked back at Ye Ke. They both saw the gloom in each other's eyes.
At this time, Ye Maocai called them into his study, obviously having something new to tell them to do. He was using them as pawns, but how could Ye Mei and the others just sit there and let others manipulate them?
It will inevitably be another game of guessing what to do.
…
The news that Concubine Jing was pregnant spread throughout Longye the next day.
The Yongle Emperor had been childless for so many years, and naturally, there were many speculations. The most common one was that the Yongle Emperor suffered from a hidden illness and could not have his own heir. It was also because of this that the court's open and secret struggles never stopped for so many years. But Concubine Jing was pregnant, which meant a lot more.
It wasn't Emperor Yongle's fault, perhaps he deliberately did it. However, the fact that he had "allowed" Concubine Jing to become pregnant seemed to indicate something was amiss. Consequently, a number of court officials began to fret about sending their daughters to the palace. Meanwhile, some officials in Longye, who had been holding a wait-and-see attitude, began to make new decisions. Regardless, Concubine Jing's pregnancy had a significant impact on the Daliang court and harem.
When Shen Miao and Xie Jingxing talked about this, they also said, "Before, because the emperor had no children, the harem was peaceful and there weren't many disputes. But once the news of Concubine Jing's pregnancy spread, ministers from all walks of life wanted to send their daughters to the palace, vying to have children first. I'm afraid the harem will be in chaos."
The most terrifying thing is that a calm pool of water is suddenly activated by a stone thrown into the water.
Xie Jingxing smiled: "That also requires that the baby can be born."
Emperor Yongle gave them all contraceptive soup. Concubine Jing was an accident, but because of this accident, the palace will definitely be more strict about this aspect in the future, and no one will be able to exploit any loopholes.
“But the Lu family is too impatient.” Shen Miao supported her chin, “The news hasn’t spread in the palace yet, but it spread among them first. Now the whole of Longye knows about it.”
"The faster you get dressed, the faster you'll die." Xie Jingxing was putting on his outer robe when Shen Miao stood up to help him straighten his collar. He lowered his head and looked at Shen Miao, saying, "But if you are pregnant with my child, I will let everyone in Longye know."
Shen Miao glared at him fiercely and said, “If you dare to let another woman get pregnant with your child?”
"What?" Xie Jingxing frowned.
Shen Miao tugged at his collar fiercely and said ferociously, “The news that the entire family of Prince Rui’s mansion was wiped out will also be known to everyone in Longye.”
Xie Jingxing laughed heartily, put his arm around her waist, leaned over and whispered in her ear, "I have a fierce wife at home, I'm exhausted, I'm afraid it won't work."
