"Speaking of which, now that Ashou has been married for more than two months, I wonder if there is any good news? You know, the Prince Ping's mansion only has one son, so it is very important to have more children."
The Imperial Concubine was very good at finding sore spots. The fact that the entire Ping Prince's household only had one child was a sore spot for the Princess Consort. On the other hand, the Princess Consort did want a grandchild, whether it was a grandson or a granddaughter, as long as she had a child.
But Princess Ping also knew in her heart that this matter could not be forced, and she never intended to force it.
Back then, Fu Hanlai was frail and sickly, and he almost died many times. Princess Ping's requirements were very simple: that her son be healthy. Now that he has finally gotten married in good health, she is really not in a hurry for anything else.
Moreover, Jiang Xuelin is not an ordinary daughter-in-law; she holds a different position in the hearts of Prince Ping and his wife. Otherwise, why would the couple indulge her so much?
Many of the things she did were extremely outrageous. Not to mention anything else, the fact that they haven't consummated their marriage is something that other families would never allow.
Both Prince Keping and his wife felt that Jiang Xuelin was Fu Hanlai's lucky star.
Since she appeared, Fu Hanlai's health has improved day by day, and now he is no different from a normal person. If it weren't for Jiang Xuelin, Fu Hanlai would probably be in trouble by now. How could he still be angry with them in front of them?
Therefore, unless it's something extremely serious, Prince Ping and his wife would never do anything to Jiang Xuelin and would treat her very well.
Moreover, this girl is indeed very likable, and Ah Shou is very happy to be with her. It's just that Ah Shou himself doesn't seem to realize his feelings for her.
The King and his wife were actually somewhat watching the spectacle.
Therefore, the Imperial Concubine chose the wrong person to sow discord.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. There's no rush when it comes to children. They'll come naturally when the time is right. Besides, it's only been a little over two months. Why rush it? Is the Imperial Concubine eager to hold her new grandson?"
Kick the ball back.
"It's true that having a child depends on fate, but the Crown Prince's harem is indeed a bit too small. If he had more concubines and maids, who knows, this child might arrive very soon?"
In short, they just didn't want Jiang Xuelin to have an easy time.
Jiang Xuelin looked up, suppressing the impulse in her heart. Princess Ping noticed her movement, reached out and patted the back of her hand to comfort her, her smile unchanged.
"As you know, my beloved Consort, my husband Ashou is not fond of women. This backyard is naturally quiet. If there are too many people, who will know how the child died?"
The Third Prince had so many concubines and maids in his harem, but they only had two children each. Some of them had just become pregnant when their babies died mysteriously.
It doesn't matter who did it, someone definitely did it anyway.
"Besides, the number of children has little to do with the number of women in the harem. Otherwise, even if there are many women in the harem, if the men don't love them, there still won't be many children."
With so many people in your son's backyard and only two children, is your son not good enough?
At this moment, the Empress, who was sitting at the head of the table, stopped watching the show, put down her cup, and looked at the Consort. "Consort, the Third Prince has quite a few women in his harem, but he only has two children. That's really too few. Are those women not good at bearing children? Next year, when we hold the imperial concubine selection, we need to bring in a few more women who are good at bearing children. Third Prince's wife, you are the mistress of the house, so you must pay attention to the affairs of the harem."
It was said that the women in the Third Prince's harem were infertile, but what it really meant was that the Third Prince himself was infertile.
The Empress was also adept at using veiled criticism to attack others.
Jiang Xuelin almost burst out laughing as she watched them go back and forth.
The Imperial Concubine and Fei Qing both turned pale.
"Yes, Your Majesty is right."
The other women of the royal family were watching the exchange between the men and did not interrupt.
Seeing that the Imperial Concubine had calmed down, the Empress and Princess Ping did not pursue the matter further and continued chatting with those around them. The atmosphere became very pleasant, but the Imperial Concubine felt much more aggrieved.
The Empress embarrassed her in front of so many members of the imperial family and noblewomen, and the Princess Consort of Ping showed her no respect whatsoever. Even Jiang Xuelin, a junior, was able to mock her. Thinking back to the embarrassing moment when Jiang Xuelin fell on the second day of her marriage when she entered the palace, the Consort's gaze towards Jiang Xuelin was like that of poison.
Such a malicious gaze was not something Jiang Xuelin, being so perceptive, could not possibly miss. She did not look away, but simply looked in the direction from which the malice came, smiled at the Imperial Concubine, and then looked elsewhere.
For the Imperial Concubine, this action was truly provocative, almost infuriating her. She knew that Princess Ping was not someone to be trifled with, but seeing Jiang Xuelin like this, she still couldn't hold back.
This time, she didn't beat around the bush and directly attacked Jiang Xuelin, saying, "Ah Shou's wife, jealousy is one of the seven grounds for divorce. Now that you are married, you should take care of the household and have children for Ah Shou, instead of clinging to your man and spreading rumors outside."
If it weren't for Jiang Xuelin and Fu Hanlai, how could Huang Shilang's affair have become the talk of the town, even leading to his loss of his official position?
That's one of the Third Prince's men!
She was someone her son had worked so hard to win over, and now she's ruined over such a trivial matter.
Upon hearing this, the Imperial Concubine was angry that the Huang family had acted unethically and that the information had not been kept secret. However, she was even more furious at Jiang Xuelin and Fu Hanlai for exposing the matter.
Add to that the old and new grudges from the past.
If she could kill Jiang Xuelin, the Imperial Concubine really wanted her dead. Even if she couldn't take Jiang Xuelin's life, she would still disrupt her life. In short, things wouldn't go smoothly for her!
"Your Majesty is right. A wife is a companion to her husband for life, a partner who is respectful and harmonious with him. Unlike concubines who are only there to have children, a wife is not only concerned with the affairs of the household and children, but also with facing important matters both inside and outside the home. What you call stirring up trouble outside the home is something you don't understand."
