Chapter 239 Offspring
"Go check."
Only after Xie Guimo's instructions did Chen Qi dare to take the embroidered handkerchief and investigate the matter.
Xie Guimo stood up, put his arm around Chen Tang's waist and said, "Go and pay your respects. Did they bully you?"
Chen Tang said, "It was just a few words of quarrel. I'm used to it."
Xie Guimo said, "Let's think about it later and see if there is a way to avoid paying respects every day."
Chen Tang also wanted to not have to visit his parents every morning and evening, but after thinking about it, he knew that the hope was slim.
The old lady is best at playing dumb. The bad guys are all the second and fourth wives. The old lady is the second wife of the old prince arranged by the late emperor. As long as it is not too excessive, the prince will not interfere. She still does not make things difficult for Xie Guimo.
Chen Tang shook his head, "They can't do anything to me."
That being said, the wife he had finally married would not be bullied by others.
Xie Guimo said, "It's not that hot today, I'll go to the garden with you."
Chen Tang said, "I know the garden well."
Xie Guimo pinched Chen Tang’s nose, “Doesn’t it mean I don’t have to accompany you if you are familiar with your husband?”
"Besides, the people in the palace don't know you. You've been married for a few days, but I haven't accompanied you to get familiar with the palace. It's not right."
It seemed so. The foundation of her status in Prince Jingyang's Mansion was his attention. The more Xie Guimo paid attention to her, the more people in the mansion dared not to treat her badly.
Chen Tang nodded slightly, and Xie Guimo took her hand and walked out of the study together.
The Jingyang Prince's Palace is magnificent. It was a mansion bestowed by Emperor Taizu. It was expanded once more by the old prince. Even the prince's palace cannot compare with it.
It was midsummer, and the flowers in the garden were in full bloom, colorful and splendid, which was a feast for the eyes.
Willows sway by the lake, their branches hanging down, lightly touching the lakeside, causing ripples, like a lake of broken gold.
Although it was not that hot today, after walking for a while, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Knowing that Chen Tang was familiar with the Jingyang Palace, it was just a formality to let everyone in the Jingyang Palace know that the new prince's consort was the apple of his eye. As for appreciating the flowers, that was secondary.
After strolling around for a while, I returned to Chenxiangxuan and Chen Qi had also returned.
Xie Guimo asked, "Is there a problem?"
Chen Qi nodded, "There is a sterilizing drug in the tea."
Swish.
Almost instantly, the looks in Chen Tang and Xie Guimo's eyes turned cold.
If it was a contraceptive drug, Chen Tang wouldn't be so angry, but she was given a contraceptive drug. Chen Tang felt a chill running from the bottom of her heart to every part of her body.
Seeing the two people's unhappy faces, Chen Qi hurriedly said, "Although it is a sterilizing drug, the dosage is not heavy. The doctor said that with this dosage, you have to take it 20 to 30 times to achieve the sterilizing effect. One or two times will not cause that much harm."
Twenty or thirty chapters may seem like a lot of times, but she had to go to Wutong Courtyard to pay her respects almost every day. As long as she sat down, the maid would serve her tea. Twenty or thirty chapters only took a month.
In her previous life, she and Xie Guimo had a bad relationship, and they only mocked her with words. In this life, they had a good relationship, so they were directly ruthless. Even if she was favored as the prince's consort, she could not have children, and her relationship with Xie Guimo would not last long. Once he took a concubine, there would be resentment. The princess and the prince were a lesson for her.
Shen Tang's eyes turned red with anger, not to mention Xie Guimo. He and Shen Tang hadn't even consummated their marriage yet, and someone was trying to make him childless.
Chen Qi said, "We have to tell the prince about this."
Chen Tang looked at Xie Guimo and said, "Father can't do anything to the old lady just based on the evidence on the handkerchief."
If she bites back, it would be like she, the Crown Prince's Consort, is causing trouble right after she got married.
We have to catch them in the act and make sure they have no way to refute it.
For three days in a row, Chen Tang went to Wutong Courtyard to pay his respects to the old lady after breakfast, then sat down to listen to the second wife and the others talk for a while, drank a few sips of tea before leaving.
On this day, Chen Tang, as usual, took Ginkgo to pay her respects. When she arrived, the second and third wives were all there and were talking about the Wang family.
The Third Madam said, "I heard that the eldest young lady of the Wang family has gone crazy, shouting that the child in her belly is the son of the Marquis of Changping..."
The statement that the Prince of Changping is lustful and harms girls everywhere is not necessarily crazy.
The second wife glanced at Chen Tang and said, "If she hadn't fallen into the water, the eldest daughter of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion would not have married the eldest son of the Wang family. It's really sad that she ended up like this."
How did Madam Wang fall into the water?
It was because she pushed Chen Tang and was caught by his hand that she fell into the lake.
The second wife's words clearly stated that Miss Wang was the result of Shen Tang's misfortune.
Chen Tang pretended not to hear, stepped forward and bowed to the old lady, then sat down.
The maid brought the tea over, and the Third Madam asked curiously, "How could a lady from a wealthy family like the Crown Prince's Consort swim?"
Chen Tang said, "I learned it specially. At the beginning of the year, I asked for divination at the Jokhang Temple. It said that I would have a water disaster. I spent a lot of money to interpret the divination. It said that as long as I learned how to swim, I would be fine. I believed that it was better to believe it than not, so I learned it."
This fortune is too accurate. If the Crown Prince's Consort had not been able to swim that day, the person rescued by Young Master Wang would have been the Crown Prince's Consort...
No, the Crown Prince also jumped into the water to save people, but his jump was in vain because the Crown Princess could swim. Even if the Crown Princess could not swim, with the Crown Prince there, it would not be Young Master Wang's turn to save people.
Only the Crown Prince's wife escaped the flood disaster, but the eldest daughter of the Yongning Earl's Mansion was not so lucky.
Knowing how Chen Tang learned to swim, there was nothing to talk about. Chen Tang served tea, and the fourth wife asked curiously, "Why didn't the princess come today?"
As they were talking, a maid came in and said, "Princess, there is something that needs to be dealt with. I will come back later..."
The fourth wife asked, "Does the princess have any urgent matters to deal with?"
The maid said, "Madame Yun woke up this morning and suddenly she couldn't move her arm. The princess was worried and asked a doctor to treat her."
Nanny Yun is the most trusted person around the princess. She was brought into the palace from her mother's family, the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, and has served the princess for decades. It is normal for the princess to be anxious when Nanny Yun is sick. As for paying her respects to the old lady, it doesn't matter if she doesn't come. After all, the old lady is not the prince's biological mother. It is good enough for the princess to pay her respects to the old lady once every two days. The old lady is the one who ignores her requests because they are too many.
The old lady asked, "Madam Yun always looks good, how come she suddenly can't move her arm?"
The second wife said, "They say illness comes like a mountain falling, it's hard to predict..."
It is the princess who is ill, so Chen Tang has to go see her. It is only Nanny Yun who is ill, and after Nanny Yun finishes seeing the doctor, the princess will come, so Chen Tang does not need to go.
She sat there, and suddenly she reached out and scratched her neck and the back of her hands.
At first I just scratched it for a while, but later I couldn't stop scratching it.
The third wife looked over and was startled, "You, your face..."
Shen Tang was at a loss, "What's wrong with my face?"
She looked at Ginkgo.
Gingko exclaimed, "Princess! Why do you have so many rashes on your face?!"
