Chapter 1069, Poor Eyesight
Prince Ping's Mansion.
After Prince Ping returned from the palace, he told Xiao Yeyang and Daohua what happened to the twins in the palace.
When the two heard about Concubine An scolding the rice seedlings in the imperial garden, their faces turned a little ugly.
Prince Ping: "Our family has already torn relations with the An family. If you run into them in the future, there is no need to give them face. Humph, you even dare to bully my grandson. Do you really think the eldest prince can become the crown prince? Dream on!"
Hearing this, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang both looked at Prince Ping.
There was no way. Prince Ping's tone was too certain. Even though Xiao Yeyang guessed that it was almost impossible for the emperor to make the eldest prince the crown prince, he did not dare to say it so confidently.
Prince Ping noticed the surprise of his son and daughter-in-law and hummed inwardly with satisfaction.
Who is he? The emperor's brother. Although he has never been involved in anything, he claims to be as good as anyone in guessing the emperor's thoughts.
Judging from the way the eldest prince and the An family are acting like monkeys, it would be strange if the emperor would hand over the country to such people!
Knowing that Prince Ping would go to the palace every day to accompany the twins in the future, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang felt much more relieved.
Sanxiao went to the palace, and Xiao Yeyang was busy entertaining friends, so Daohua went to Yan's house more often when she had free time.
After April, more and more officials from all over the country came to Beijing to congratulate the emperor on his 60th birthday. This time, Yan Wenkai also rushed back from the South China Sea with his wife and children.
After not seeing each other for many years, it was lively again when we got together.
After giving the gift to her fourth brother's four children, Daohua went to sit in the pavilion in the yard with Zhou Jingwan and Su Shiyu to talk privately.
"I haven't seen you in over ten years. Yiyi hasn't changed at all, but I've become more mature."
Su Shiyu stroked the wrinkles on her face. The wind was strong and the sun was scorching at the seaside. Even if she took good care of herself, her skin color would no longer be the same as before.
Zhou Jingwan was fine, she just gained some weight and looked a lot rounder than before.
Daohua laughed and said, "How could I not have changed at all? Wouldn't that make me an old monster? My condition might be a little better than yours, but I think it's because I had children later and didn't have as many as you."
Zhou Jingwan and Su Shiyu started having children when they were seventeen or eighteen years old, and they had four children in their lifetime. She gave birth to Daozi at the age of twenty-one, and it took several years before she got pregnant with twins. In total, she only gave birth to two children.
Upon hearing this, Su Shiyu and Zhou Jingwan both looked envious.
Zhou Jingwan: "When you weren't pregnant, Grandma and Auntie were very worried. Now it seems that your idea was right. Giving birth is too harmful to the body."
"Luckily, I listened to you and waited two or three years between each pregnancy."
"You may not know this from outside Beijing, but many daughters-in-law give birth to several children in a row. Every time we get together, I worry about them when I see them looking so fragile and vulnerable, like they'll fall down at the slightest touch."
Su Shiyu sighed, "As women, we still need to learn how to take care of our bodies. I've seen many first wives of officials in the south who lost their lives trying to give birth to children."
"She failed to protect herself, not only giving up her position as the legal wife to someone else, but also the child she gave birth to with such great effort can only live in fear at the hands of her stepmother, unable to make her own decisions. It's pitiful just thinking about it."
Rice Flower: "If you don't love yourself, how can others feel sorry for you? It's just a pity for the child."
The three of them sighed and changed the subject.
Zhou Jingwan asked, "By the way, Yiyi, how is Yuanyao now? Is she okay?"
Daohua smiled and nodded. "She's doing fine. Sun Changze brought Yuan Yao here the second year after we arrived in Xiliang. They had originally agreed to settle down in Xiliang, but unfortunately, Xiliang and Xiliao started fighting in the next two years, so they had to postpone their plans."
"Later, Yuan Yao became pregnant again. The conditions in Xiliang were worse, and Yuan Yao was worried that it would be bad for the child, so she stayed at her husband's house to take care of the child."
"In the past two years, Sun Changze's business in Xiliang has grown bigger and bigger, so he brought his parents, wife and children over. Now that the Dong family and Yuan Yao's family are all in Ganzhou, they can be considered a family reunion."
After hearing this, Zhou Jingwan and Su Shiyu were both happy for Dong Yuanyao.
After chatting with Dong Yuanyao for a while, Zhou Jingwan suddenly lowered her voice: "Yile is remarrying, you guys don't know this yet, right?"
Daohua and Su Shiyu looked at Zhou Jingwan at the same time. To be honest, they had never heard of this matter before.
Su Shiyu: "When did this happen? Why didn't the Second House inform us?"
Zhou Jingwan sighed: "Because it's shameful."
Daohua and Su Shiyu looked at each other in bewilderment: "What's up with Yile again?"
Zhou Jingwan explained the whole story to the two of them: "After my second uncle and second aunt brought Yile back to their hometown, they had planned to introduce her to a wealthy family nearby. Unfortunately, Yile didn't like any of them."
"Because of our family's imperially bestowed building plaque, our hometown has developed quite well in recent years. We often have some wealthy men and noble sons come to our hometown to see the plaque, saying that they want to get a taste of the royal aura."
Hearing this, Daohua almost guessed what was going to happen next: "So, Yile found herself another husband?"
Zhou Jingwan nodded: "Second Uncle and Second Aunt are actually very indulgent towards Yile. If she doesn't like something, they won't force her to do it. Why should she go out and see it herself?"
"Just look at it, but your eyesight is not good."
At this point, Zhou Jingwan's face was filled with indescribable emotion: "Our new fourth brother-in-law is from a merchant family. He has some assets at home. I heard that he is one of the richest families in the local county."
Daohua frowned. "Yile doesn't even look down on officials of the sixth or seventh rank, so how could he be interested in a merchant? Is there some misunderstanding here?"
Zhou Jingwan shook her head: "Your third brother asked the second brother the same question. Unfortunately, the second brother didn't say much. He just said that it had been decided and Yile would be married at the beginning of this month."
“So fast?!”
Daohua and Su Shiyu looked at each other in surprise.
Zhou Jingwan nodded: "Yile remarried, and even my uncle and aunt didn't tell anyone. There must be something going on. But my second brother and sister-in-law avoided talking about it, so we didn't ask too much."
"Grandma and my uncle and auntie should know the reason. My younger siblings and I had planned to give Yile some gifts to make up for her, but Grandma refused, saying that my auntie had already prepared one and sent it over."
After hearing this, Daohua and Su Shiyu didn't know how to react.
The mother (mother-in-law) was obviously unwilling to talk more about this matter. Yile's remarriage would definitely not be as simple as going out to see another man secretly.
Su Shiyu sighed and said, "My mother originally intended to marry my fourth sister to my third cousin from the Li family, but she didn't like it. I didn't expect that after all the twists and turns, she would still marry a merchant. If I had known this would happen, I would have agreed to it and avoided having such a bad reputation."
Daohua: "Some things have not been experienced firsthand, and no matter how hard an outsider tries to persuade them, the person involved will not listen. I hope that after this incident, Yile can live a good life."
