The Prince Ping's mansion only has one son, Fu Hanlai, and the Prince Ping himself has had difficulty conceiving. Fu Hanlai has had a poor constitution since childhood, so the Princess Consort of Dun County naturally felt that the Prince Ping's mansion must be eager to have offspring as soon as possible.
Jiang Xuelin has been causing trouble for the past six months, which is not the behavior of a qualified wife. Seeing this and thinking about the trouble they have brought to their family, Princess Consort Dun was even more annoyed.
She couldn't do anything about those men, but as a woman, Jiang Xuelin was still easy to see.
She should be shown her what she's capable of; she said this purely to annoy Jiang Xuelin.
She didn't believe that Jiang Xuelin was so audacious that the Prince Ping's mansion wouldn't have any objections, and she didn't believe that the Princess Ping would treat her as well as rumored, letting her run wild—what mother-in-law could tolerate her daughter-in-law showing her face outside all day long, while neglecting her family at all?
Moreover, Prince Ping and his wife must really want a grandson. If she brings this up now, Princess Ping will definitely be unhappy, but her displeasure will be directed at Jiang Xuelin, not at her, since she has only brought it up.
To everyone's surprise, Princess Ping stood firmly on Jiang Xuelin's side, showing her no mercy and leaving her no face whatsoever. The protective tone in her words made Princess Dun extremely jealous.
Unfortunately, it was Princess Ping who spoke. As a princess consort, she was of higher status than Princess Dun and was also an elder, so she couldn't use her status to intimidate others.
"Second sister-in-law, do you have any good ideas? I also really want a child, but unfortunately my belly is not cooperating. It's been more than four months since we got married and there's still no good news. I heard that you got pregnant after four years of marriage, but do you have any good ideas?" Fei Qing touched her belly, looking rather sad. "I really envy you, second sister-in-law, having such a well-behaved and adorable little girl."
But listen to what she says, it's really interesting.
They had no children after four months of marriage, but it took them four years of marriage to Princess Dun to have a child.
Tsk tsk.
Anyone could hear the sarcasm in Fei Qing's words.
She had been bullied so openly that she could no longer tolerate it. After all, she was on the same level as the Princess Consort of Dun, and the Prince of Cheng and the Prince of Dun were rivals. It was the Prince of Cheng who exposed the fact that the Prince of Dun was keeping a harem. Naturally, the relationship between the two families was very delicate.
Moreover, there was also the Imperial Concubine's aunt in the palace. Even if the Imperial Concubine was dissatisfied with her, she would not allow the Princess Consort of Dun to bully her.
For the sake of the Imperial Concubine's own face, and also for the sake of Prince Cheng's face.
Therefore, Fei Qing really didn't need to think too much when he said that.
...She still remembered what Jiang Xuelin had told her: the Prince Dun's faction had also been behind the rumors that day, and they had only used her as a pawn.
Hu was just taking advantage of the fact that Jiang Xuelin and Fei Qing were newlyweds who were thin-skinned and easy to bully. But neither Jiang Xuelin nor Fei Qing were the kind of people who were easy to bully.
Jiang Xuelin goes without saying; everyone knows she's difficult to deal with. As for Fei Qing, he was able to scheme repeatedly back then, and to this day, Prince Cheng still doesn't know about it. He was only used by Prince Dun once.
She just seems to have a good temper and is easy to talk to, but does Madam Hu want to bully her?
Tsk.
Madam Hu never expected that not only would Princess Ping be lenient, but her sister-in-law Fei Qing would also show her no respect whatsoever, even speaking more harshly than Princess Ping, completely tearing away all her dignity.
She got pregnant four years after getting married, hoping to have a son, but in the end, she gave birth to a daughter who would eventually get married.
And until now, she has not received any more good news; she only has one daughter.
"you!"
In front of all the female members of the imperial family, Madam Hu immediately blushed, a hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes.
"Second sister-in-law, is there anything else you want to teach me? Perhaps it's a secret recipe for having a daughter?" Fei Qing raised an eyebrow slightly, her eyes still carrying a gentle smile, but her gaze was anything but gentle; on the contrary, it was quite sharp.
Hu: "..."
She was furious, but she only dared to tease her a little and make sarcastic remarks. She wouldn't dare to make a scene in such a situation, otherwise, not only Emperor Xuande, but also the Empress, her mother-in-law, and Prince Dun would not let her off the hook.
Thinking of this, Hu felt a deep bitterness in her heart.
She wanted a child, but the prince didn't like to come to her room. What could she do?
Then she heard laughter.
"I knew Mother loved me the most." Jiang Xuelin affectionately hugged Princess Ping's arm and shook it, acting like a spoiled little girl. "Mother is not the kind of person who would rush you. Princess Dun, is it because Her Majesty wants to hold a grandson that she is urging you?"
After saying that, Jiang Xuelin put on a pitying and sympathetic expression, "Mother is different. Mother has never urged anything."
“Children will come when the time is right. What’s the use of rushing some people?” Jiang Xuelin smiled and looked intently at Princess Consort Dun. “Does Your Highness want to have a son again? That’s a good thing. After all, all the children in the Prince’s harem are Your Highness’s children, aren’t they? Maybe there will be good news when we get back.”
Hu: "..."
"Unfortunately, I seem to be less fortunate than the princess, and may not have as many children as she does."
hehe.
Hu: "..."
A rush of blood to her head; Jiang Xuelin's words had struck a nerve.
How could the children born to those women in the backyard possibly be hers? Her son is going to crawl out of her womb, so what are the children born to those women? They're just here to steal her son's things!
