Chapter 394: Contribute
It was a fine day, and it was the day Xie Yan returned home.
Chen Tang couldn't be lazy and not go to Shou'an Hall, so after breakfast, he went to Wutong Courtyard with Xie Guimo.
When they arrived, almost everyone was there except the prince and princess.
The prince will not come too early, and the princess will not come either. Concubine Jiang is dressed up, and those who don’t know her would think she is Princess Jingyang.
After all the trouble she put in, she still couldn't get the prince to make her his co-wife. I think she should give up.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, King Qi and Xie Yan came in.
The Prince of Qi accompanied the Princess back home twice, and Chen Tang was there both times, which was also amazing.
Xie Yan was wearing a brocade dress embroidered with pomegranate flowers. She looked shy and happiness was emanating from her face.
Chen Tang smiled faintly. She was just going through the motions to avoid being accused of disrespecting the King of Qi. But Concubine Jiang insisted on finding fault with her. "The King of Qi is accompanying Yan'er back home. Why is the Crown Prince's Concubine looking unhappy?"
Why is she unhappy?
If Concubine Jiang has any eye problems, please see a doctor.
Since she lied with her eyes open, don't blame her for saying something unpleasant. Chen Tang said, "Looking at Prince Qi and the eldest aunt coming in, I thought of the time when Prince Qi accompanied my eldest sister back home. My eldest sister also had a shy and happy face, and I felt a little emotional for a moment."
Concubine Jiang's face turned green.
On the happy day when the King of Qi was accompanying his daughter back home, he had to mention such an unlucky thing!
She even compares Chen Xian with her daughter. What is Chen Xian's status and what is her daughter's status!
But seeing the same scene, Chen Tang thought of Chen Xian, with whom he grew up. No one could say anything wrong about her, especially since it was the truth.
The King of Qi also looked unhappy because on the day he accompanied Chen Xi back home, the Pingyuan Marquisate did not treat him with respect but with humiliation.
The old lady asked, "Does the Crown Prince's Consort want to disrupt the return banquet?"
Chen Tang hurriedly said, "I dare not, but since Concubine Jiang asked, I can't not answer."
This trouble was instigated by Concubine Jiang. No matter how ignorant she is, she would not be so blatant in looking for trouble with others.
Concubine Jiang said sarcastically, "If you don't know, you would think that the Crown Prince's Concubine and the deceased Princess Qi had a very good relationship as sisters."
Chen Tang said, "After all, the Princess of Qi and I grew up together. Although we had a life-and-death struggle later, all hatred disappears when a person dies. If she were still alive, she should have given birth in the next few days."
This is really looking for trouble with King Qi.
Chen Xi is not dead yet.
In order to ensure that Marquis Changping would continue to have children, Concubine Ye endured the pregnancy of Shen Ying. The King of Qi will never be able to get rid of the green hat he wore in his life.
Upon hearing this, the King of Qi’s face turned slightly blue.
When Xie Yan and King Qi came in, everyone stood up and saluted. King Qi was of noble status, so the prince did not ask him to serve tea, so Xie Yan did it.
After serving tea, the prince hurried to the military camp to deal with some matters. He told Xie Guimo and Xie Guiyin, "You greet the King of Qi."
After making the arrangements, the prince left.
As long as Concubine Ye's background is not revealed, Xie Guimo and Prince Qi are still cousins. Prince Qi is Xie Guiyin's brother-in-law, so Xie Guiyin will definitely have to deal with him.
Chen Tang and Xie Yan had nothing to say. She took Ginkgo and Qiu Tong to pay their respects to the princess, chatted with her for a while, and then returned to Chenxiangxuan.
For the return dinner, the prince gave face to the Prince of Qi and rushed back from the military camp to eat. Chen Tang used the excuse of feeling a little nauseous to avoid going. She was pregnant, and no one dared to make any demands on her, so she was happy and at ease.
After lunch, Xie Guimo hadn't come back yet, so Chen Tang fell asleep due to fatigue. When she woke up, Yin Xing said, "Crown Princess, Princess Qi is having an attack..."
Chen Tang had just woken up and was still a little confused. He didn't react for a moment, "What?"
Gingxing didn't dare to speak loudly, and still whispered, "The Princess of Qi who is hidden in the small courtyard in the north of the city is about to give birth."
Chen Tang asked, "How did you know?"
Ginkgo grinned, "The Crown Prince's wife mentioned her today. I saw Chen Qi in the afternoon, so I asked him if he could send someone to check on her. Chen Qi sent Chen Shan."
"Marquis Changping attaches great importance to the child in Princess Qi's belly and went to the courtyard in person."
The baby in Chen Xian's belly is the only grandson of Marquis Changping, so how could she not value him? But I don't know whether Chen Xian will give birth to a boy as Marquis Changping wishes.
Knowing that Chen Tang was curious, Ginkgo Qiutong also wanted to know, so Chen Shan, who had nothing to do, went to the north of the city again.
But giving birth won’t happen that quickly, and I don’t know when Chen Shan will come back.
After dinner, Xie Guimo accompanied Chen Tang for a walk in the garden, and after returning, the two played chess.
The night passes quietly.
It was almost time to go to bed, and Gingko went out to ask someone to prepare water for bathing. As soon as she left, she came back and said, "My Lord and Princess, there's a fire in Kyoto..."
Chen Tang wanted to stand up, and Xie Guimo quickly helped her up, "Slow down."
It's just a walk on the water, I don't know what's so good about it.
When Chen Tang went out, he saw flames rising to the sky in the distance, and that direction was——
North of the city!
For some reason, Shen Tang felt that the fire was related to Shen Xi.
After standing and watching for a while, Xie Guimo said, "It's windy outside, let's go back to the house."
As soon as Chen Tang turned around, Chen Shan came back and reported, "The Princess of Qi is dead..."
As expected, Shen Xian was able to live until now only because of the baby in her belly. The day the baby was born would be the day she died.
It was just the way Shen Xian died that made Shen Tang shudder.
Chen Xi had the seizure this morning. Half a month ago, a midwife was invited into the mansion to wait for her. However, Marquis Changping valued the fetus in her womb and provided her with all the best food and drink. In addition, she could not go anywhere, so the fetus grew very big and she was not born by the evening.
Changping Hou waited for several hours, but his patience was exhausted. The midwife asked, "It's a difficult birth. Should we save the mother or the child?"
Marquis Changping said, "Even if you have to cut your belly, you must save the child for me!"
The midwife felt a chill down her spine.
The midwife tried her best to save the mother and child, but she was really powerless. In the end, she could only follow Marquis Changping's instructions and take the child out.
Chen Xi died without even seeing her child.
When Marquis Changping found out that the baby was a daughter, he was very disappointed, but he didn't reject it. Even if he didn't have a grandson, he would still have a granddaughter. At least the child had the blood of Marquis Changping's son in her body, so he could marry a daughter-in-law in the future and continue the bloodline.
Marquis Changping took the child away and set the courtyard on fire.
He schemed against her in every way and ended up like this. I wonder if Shen Xi had any regrets when she died.
Thinking of a difficult birth, Shen Tang touched her bulging belly, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.
Two children are more likely to have a difficult birth than the average person...
She was due to give birth in just over a month.
Sensing Chen Tang's worry, Xie Guimo said, "Don't worry, it'll be fine."
Chen Tang believed that she would be fine. God had been so kind to her and would definitely not let anything happen to her.
but--
Chen Tang looked at Xie Guimo, "But giving birth is painful."
Xie Guimo touched Chen Tang's belly and said, "You should be more obedient when giving birth, come out earlier, and let your mother suffer less."
Chen Tang said angrily, "Why tell this to the child?"
Xie Guimo said, "I can help you with pregnancy, but I can't help you with childbirth."
Fortunately, the maids were not there, otherwise Shen Tang would really cover his mouth.
