This princess consort awaits your groveling, Shumulu clan!
Consort Li cursed inwardly. Seeing that Lady Shumulu ignored her, she turned and left to talk to Lady Nalan.
Not to mention that Li was trying to sow discord between Nalan and Shumulu by speaking ill of them, Nalan was not stupid and knew Li's intentions. She just smiled and greeted them without responding.
If He Zhuo knew what Consort Li was thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes. You are the one who indirectly caused her to lose her child, do you think she would give you a kind look?
Besides, your rise to power in the Fourth Prince's mansion is a matter for the Fourth Prince's mansion; what kind of place is this?
It's the Prince Zhi's residence, but I thought it was my own!
Moreover, putting aside the difference in age and rank, the fact that Shumulu was a concubine bestowed by the emperor, while Li was promoted to concubine because of her merit in giving birth to a son, meant that Shumulu was a step above Li.
What makes her so confident that people have to pay attention to her and that ignoring her is disrespectful? Let's talk about that when your son becomes the heir apparent.
He Zhuo knew that day would never come.
On Hezhuo's side, without the Third Prince's wife, who liked to stir up trouble and show off, things were quite harmonious.
Since Hongqing's death, the Third Princess Consort has disliked making a fuss or seeking the limelight; she simply sits quietly.
"Fourteenth sister-in-law, how many months pregnant are you?" As the eldest sister-in-law and the hostess, He Zhuo naturally had to ask a few questions when someone came to congratulate her with a noticeable pregnancy.
"Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. I'm already more than five months pregnant." The Fourteenth Prince's wife, Lady Wanyan, touched her belly, radiating maternal love.
Seeing that she looked radiant, He Zhuo assumed that the Fourteenth Prince and Consort De must be taking this pregnancy very seriously, so he nodded and said, "Yes, seeing that your wife is full of energy, she will surely give birth to a healthy child."
"Thank you for your kind words, sister-in-law."
Everyone loves to hear nice words, and the Fourteenth Prince's wife smiled even more brightly after hearing them.
The Fourth Prince's wife had become extremely thin because of Honghui's affair, and she looks better now, but her eyes have lost some of their sparkle.
"Sister-in-law, congratulations! My brother has gained another prince and a princess. Everyone says you're a virtuous woman who treats your children born out of wedlock well. I'm sure you'll treat these two children of your concubines well too. Oh~~~"
The Eighth Prince's wife deliberately dragged out the last word, and although every word she said was kind, when put together they clearly implied that if anything happened to the two children, it would be because the eldest sister-in-law was unkind, and her previous reputation for treating her children well was just a facade.
The Eighth Prince's wife's words were quite profound.
As soon as the Eighth Prince's wife finished speaking, the table at He Zhuo's place fell silent. The Seventh Prince's wife and the Ninth Prince's wife, who had been whispering to each other, also stopped talking.
He Zhuo glanced at the Eighth Prince's wife. In terms of maternal lineage, the Eighth Prince's wife was He Zhuo's niece.
"There's no need for Eighth Prince Consort to worry about the affairs of our household. Whether I, as the primary consort, will treat our children well is something that our master and the mother in the palace will see."
Khoja's fighting prowess is also formidable. In other words, you shouldn't meddle in other people's business.
"It's pitiful for Eighth Brother. After so many years of marriage, he only has one son, Hongwang. Eighth Brother was raised by Mother since he was a child. You could say that I, as his sister-in-law, watched him grow up. And since I am his sister-in-law, when I go to the palace tomorrow and meet Mother and Consort Liang, I must mention this matter and see if there are any good families who can arrange a marriage for him with a concubine."
"My mother and Consort Liang have always been very concerned about my eighth brother's offspring."
