After a few days, the Prince of Yan's fame faded as he was recorded under the Empress's name, and Jiang Si finally left the house.
Before going to the Mansion of Marquis Yining, she first went to the Mansion of Marquis Dongping.
Right now, countless eyes were staring at Prince Yan's Mansion. It would be too strange if she frequently went to Marquis Yining's Mansion but never visited the Marquis Dongping's Mansion.
Although people in this circle vaguely knew that Princess Yan had a cold attitude towards the old lady of the Earl of Dongping, what they knew more was that Princess Yan had a deep relationship with the Earl of Dongping as father and daughter, and a deep relationship with the Earl of Dongping as brother and sister.
Before I had that thought, I could do whatever I wanted, but now I have to think more about it.
Jiang Si's arrival was warmly welcomed by Old Madam Feng. Except for the Third Madam Guo, Jiang Yi and several of her sisters in the mansion were also present.
"I heard magpies singing on the branches this morning. I was thinking there might be some happy event, but I didn't expect it to be the princess." Old Madam Feng held the teacup with a loving look on her face. "Grandmother has been thinking about you these days."
The third wife, Mrs. Guo, was sitting nearby and was deeply impressed by what Mrs. Feng said.
The old lady, as a grandmother, could say such words to the fourth aunt without batting an eyelid. No wonder the second sister-in-law, who was such a picky person, was put under house arrest when she said so.
The sixth girl, Jiang Pei, had a different mood.
A woman should be like the fourth sister when she gets married. After marrying into a wealthy family, she returns to her parents' home and even has to flatter her grandmother, not to mention her sisters of the same generation.
At first, when the fourth sister was still a young lady, she dared to argue with her.
Thinking about this, Jiang Pei felt that it was something that happened in her previous life, which made her feel even more emotional: No wonder people say that a woman’s marriage is her second reincarnation. Her honor and disgrace in the first ten or so years depends on her parents’ family, but her honor and disgrace in the rest of her life depends on the kind of man she marries.
Gently scanning that bright face, Jiang Pei bit her lip secretly.
Fourth sister is really lucky. I wonder what kind of family she will marry into?
She is the second wife's concubine's daughter, not as good as the fourth sister, but she would not be satisfied until she married better than the third and fifth sisters.
Jiang Pei pondered all this and looked at Jiang Si with an especially eager look.
Jiang Si turned his head to glance at Jiang Pei, then looked away.
If she had tried to pressure Jiang Pei with words before, she no longer had to do that now.
"If grandma misses you, I will come often in the future." Jiang Si said indifferently.
Old Madam Feng was delighted, and her face became even more kind: "That's great. At my age, I don't hope for anything else but for you to come back often..."
Jiang Pei curled her lips slightly when she heard this.
One time, my fifth sister returned to her parents' home and came to Ci Xin Hall to pay her respects to my grandmother. She happened to catch my grandmother going to bed, and in the end she didn't even get to see her.
Looking forward to the younger generation coming back? That depends on who is coming back. If it is the fourth sister, even if it rains knives from the sky, grandma will be happy to go out to welcome her.
Jiang Pei became more determined to marry into a wealthy family.
Jiang Pei's mind was in turmoil, but Old Lady Feng didn't even pay the slightest attention to this illegitimate granddaughter. Seeing that Jiang seemed to be in a good mood today, she asked, "Princess, has the prince really become the queen's son?"
Jiang Si smiled faintly: "The decree has already been announced, how can it be false?"
Madam Feng smiled and said, "It just felt too sudden. Not only did Grandmother feel it was sudden, but even your father and second uncle were surprised. How come the prince was suddenly recorded under the name of the Queen?"
Ever since the news of Prince Yan's affair came out, she couldn't take the initiative to go to Prince Yan's mansion to inquire about it. She couldn't sleep well in the past two days, and she tossed and turned thinking about this matter.
It is certainly a good thing for Prince Yan to become the Queen's son, but in the long run, it is hard to predict whether it is a blessing or a curse.
If another prince came to the throne, the Prince of Yan, as the son of the Empress, would most likely be dealt with, and the Earl's Mansion might also be implicated.
However, if the Prince of Yan goes one step further, the Bo Mansion will rise to prominence and enjoy endless benefits.
Apart from anything else, once the fourth girl becomes the empress, the eldest son will be granted the title of Marquis Cheng'en according to custom, and the title of Marquis Dongping may then fall to the second son.
Two nobles in one family, what a glorious honor it is.
When Jiang Si heard Madam Feng ask this, he knew what the old lady was planning and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Just wanting to benefit from it without getting implicated, there is no such good thing in the world.
Even if Azhen won the fight to confer a title on her father, the vacant title would be thrown away and would not benefit her second uncle.
She still remembered the score that her second uncle's family had settled against her father in her previous life, but she had too many things to deal with in this life, and the second branch could not cause any trouble now, so she would just leave it for later.
"The will of the Holy Spirit is hard to predict. When my grandmother asked me, how could I know?"
Old Madam Feng paused, looking embarrassed.
The fourth girl obviously didn't want to say anything, but she was accused of speculating on someone else's mind and there was nothing she could do about it.
Seeing that Old Madam Feng had calmed down a bit, Jiang Si smiled and said, "I still have to go to the Marquis' Mansion to visit my grandmother, so I won't stay long."
Madam Feng tried to persuade Jiang to stay, but seeing that Jiang seemed to insist, she hurriedly said, "Let your elder sister take you there."
"No, I'll come back another day. I feel bad every time I make such a big fuss."
After walking out of the gate of the Dongping Marquis's Mansion, Jiang Si breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to the Yining Marquis's Mansion.
The Marquis' Mansion had received the news long ago. The chief steward had been waiting outside the gate for a long time. He saw the carriage of Prince Yan's Mansion approaching from afar, and while ordering the servants to go in and report, he went to meet them.
"Is grandpa in the mansion?"
The chief steward hurriedly said, "The old marquis was about to go out, but when he heard that the princess was coming, he didn't go out."
Jiang Si soon met the old Marquis Yining and his wife.
"Grandma seems to have lost weight, but has she not rested well these days?"
The old lady of Marquis Yining smiled and said, "It's not a big deal if you sometimes have trouble sleeping when you're old."
"You should take care of yourself."
"Don't worry, I'm still looking forward to seeing you give birth to a little prince for the prince as soon as possible."
The old Marquis Yining glared at the old lady and said, "Women only know how to say these things."
The pressure on a royal daughter-in-law to have no children must be great, and the old woman has to bring it up to upset her granddaughter.
The old lady glared back: "What else can you say? Why should a man butt in on a conversation between women?"
Jiang Si couldn't help but laugh: "Grandpa, grandma, stop arguing. Ah Huan is still young. Prince Wang said there's no rush."
Even now, Ah-Jian still leaves Ah-Huan aside from time to time. If she had another son, she simply couldn't imagine what that unreasonable father would do.
The old Marquis Yining's face straightened and he said sternly, "Si'er, remember, your grandmother and I have no more importance in your safety than success. Don't go astray."
"Don't worry, I understand."
Old Marquis Yining nodded slightly and stood up: "You can talk to your grandmother for a while. I remembered that I haven't fed the birds yet."
Watching the old Marquis Yining walk out, the old lady curled her lips and said, "Just buy a parrot to please yourself. Don't worry about your grandfather."
It's just a parrot, which means she is old. If she were young and the old man had treated her like a beautiful girl, she would have been stabbed to death.
