An Jieyu glanced at her, her expression subtle: "What my sister says is true."
Was this a deliberate attempt to provoke her? Did she want to know something? Or was it intentional mockery?
Is there anyone in the palace who doesn't know that Consort Chen is most likely infertile?
Isn't that stated outright?
Tsk, it's rare that the Empress went to the trouble of bringing her here. I wonder if she's genuinely stupid or just pretending to be weak to deceive others.
An Jieyu didn't care. She was very clear about her status; she was simply not favored.
Her family background is just average, and she doesn't have the good fortune to conceive His Majesty's child, so she'd better keep to herself.
There's no need to get entangled with Consort Chen, nor is there any need to take sides.
Yan Nangui was sitting in Xichun Xie eating fruit when Shuanzi ran over: "Your Majesty, Meng Haijiang, war has broken out."
"Oh? It seems the other princes are not convinced." His Majesty subtly supported Daya, who was young and had the blood of the Dayan Dynasty.
In their eyes, they are different.
Now that His Majesty intends to have him suppress the crowd, the crowd is naturally unwilling.
They performed quite well when Shu Chengfeng was there, but the war started as soon as His Majesty left.
"It is said that Prince Xianli, Xiao Liangren's father, led the charge, bringing together the three major tribes and some smaller tribes to wage war. His Majesty has already dispatched a general," Shuanzi said.
"Yes, His Majesty must have anticipated this battle long ago," Yan Nangui said.
“Yes, then Xiao Liangren is in an awkward position now,” Shuanzi said.
"As long as she doesn't do anything reckless, His Majesty won't necessarily take her life. However, if her father is defeated, well..." He's bound to be defeated.
I'm afraid he won't survive.
Consort Xiao in the palace is unaware of this yet; one can only imagine how worried and afraid she will be once she finds out.
Consort Jia was also afraid, afraid that her brother would be defeated.
But after all, her brother was supported by the imperial court.
Perhaps because of the outbreak of war in Menghai, Consort Jia was able to serve the emperor for several days in a row.
This also reflects His Majesty's attitude towards Meng Haijiang.
This war wasn't a major conflict, but it couldn't be taken lightly. Therefore, the emperor also attached great importance to it.
At this critical moment, the Fifth Prince fell ill.
This child, who was born weak, suddenly fell ill.
The baby was burning up with fever, coughing incessantly, and refusing to nurse. The two-month-old infant was in such a state that Consort Jing panicked.
The imperial physician examined the patient for a while but couldn't pinpoint the cause, only suggesting that the patient might have caught a chill.
The main problem is that the child is too young, so taking their pulse is not accurate.
After His Majesty finished his work, he came to Ziling Pavilion. Consort Jing was crying so hard that she was swaying on the verge of collapse.
To be honest, people rarely saw Consort Jing like this, and they were all quite moved.
"Your Majesty..." Consort Jing cried out.
Shu Chengfeng patted her back: "Imperial Physician, how is she?"
"Your Majesty, I can only confirm that the Fifth Prince has some discomfort in his lungs, which is due to insufficient nutrients in the womb. I'm afraid His Highness can't tolerate too much fragrance of flowers or moisture," said Physician Tong, the imperial physician most skilled in pediatrics.
Physician Huang echoed, "I think the same thing as Physician Tong."
"Then hurry up and tidy up the Jade Green Residence. There aren't many flowers there, and it's not near the water," the Empress said hastily.
Shu Chengfeng nodded: "Send the imperial physician to take a look first, and if there is anything wrong, execute him."
Consort Jing wiped away her tears: "But what about the child now?"
"Your Highness, please do not worry. A baby two months old certainly cannot take medicine. He can only recover slowly. I will prescribe some medicine for the wet nurses, and they can drink it and then breastfeed the little prince," said Imperial Physician Tong.
Consort Jing nodded, but her worries had not lessened at all.
Once everything was settled, Consort Jing was ordered to move to Dicui Residence.
Everyone dispersed.
Yan Nangui sat on the carriage, with Consort Jia beside him.
“With the prince of Consort Jing in such poor health, there’s bound to be a lot of worry for him in the future,” said Consort Jia.
“Yes,” Yan Nangui replied.
I thought to myself that this was because my immune system was too weak and clearly deficient.
If you are born with a deficiency, how can you make up for it?
Even when this child grows up, can he be the same as other children?
"It's fate, too. The Fourth Princess is fair-skinned, plump, and healthy," Consort Jia added.
Yan Nangui laughed: "Sister is right, it's fate."
Of course.
The Empress Dowager so eagerly awaited Consort Jing to give birth to a prince, but what happened...?
By a twist of fate, the daughter is healthy, but the son is like this.
With Consort Jing's condition, it won't be easy for her to give birth again, and Ye Lingyi is now ruined.
Tsk.
When they returned to the entrance of Xichun Xie's residence, Consort Jia dismounted and bid her farewell.
She didn't dare to ride the carriage directly past here, so she simply walked back the rest of the way.
However, Ruyan Pavilion is very close to here.
After returning home, the wild geese went south to change their clothes, and then the daphne flowers appeared.
"Your Highness, there is another letter from the Duke."
Yan Nangui received the letter; it was from her father, Yan Lingyun.
It was a letter of greeting, mentioning the matter of Daiyangguan and that her sister-in-law was pregnant again.
This is her third child. This shows that Lady Yin is fertile, and it also shows that she is favored by the emperor.
Inquiries about Yan Nangui's life in the palace always began with the Empress.
After reading the letter, Yan Nangui picked up his pen and wrote back, briefly describing his recent situation and inquiring about his father, brother, and sister-in-law.
He handed it to Yuanhua: "Select some things suitable for pregnant women and send them over as well. Also send some to my two nephews, and some to Bailuzhou as well."
"Yes, Your Highness. I have inquired and found that the Wang family intends to send a daughter to the palace. However, it seems that the old lady is not very happy about this."
"Your Majesty didn't send the people you selected before, how do you plan to send them now?" Yan Nangui asked curiously.
“They say they’re trying to find a way in. But in my opinion, it’s all in vain. The Wang family doesn’t hold any official positions, and His Majesty isn’t the type to be lustful. It would be strange if they just took anyone who was sent in,” Yuanhua said.
"Hehe, okay, I'll add a line." Yan Nangui said, opening the letter again and adding a few sentences.
The Wang family is delusional. In the past, there was still hope if they sent him to the Crown Prince's residence, but now they want to send him to the palace? They're dreaming.
The old lady understood this better than the Wang family.
“Father won’t ignore this. If he does, the old lady will probably have a grudge against her family.” Yan Nangui sneered.
"Let's wait a little longer. I should find a good family for my fourth sister."
“Your Majesty means…” Yuanhua smiled.
"Weren't Grandmother's family good people?" She felt better when they disgusted her.
If she's so capable, Yan Jinfei would rather die than marry him.
Having been confined to her room for several years, she had no choice but to be anxious.
Yuanhua went to take care of what she was doing.
She thought they deserved it; their family hadn't taken the Empress seriously before, and now they were reaping what they sowed.
After writing the letter, Yan Nangui was too lazy to care about it anymore, since it wasn't something that would happen anytime soon anyway.
The Fifth Prince is gradually feeling better; it seems his pollen allergy was quite severe.
Now that the doors and windows are closed and I've been drinking medicated milk for two days, I feel much better.
Consort Jing was finally relieved, but the child was so weak that she would have to be extremely careful in the future.
