Shudie looked at her belly silently, hoping that it would be more tolerant.
Old Madam Ye also thought of this and had to give up.
"Yue'er, although you are unable to bear children, you will always be the mistress of the Chang'an Marquis' Mansion. This will not change."
Old Madam Ye comforted Zhu Xianyue.
A hint of sarcasm flashed through Zhu Xianyue's heart.
——The mistress of the Marquis of Chang’an’s Mansion?
He is the free labor and scapegoat of the Chang'an Marquis Mansion!
Shudie won't get pregnant.
Zhu Xianyue had already put musk in the sachet on her body.
However, she just wanted to give Shudie a chance.
Let Shudie think that as long as she has something in her belly, she can gain a foothold in the Chang'an Marquis Mansion.
She will do whatever it takes to achieve her goal.
Although the trap was set by Zhu Xianyue, whether to jump into it or not is entirely up to Shudie.
…
at the same time.
The inner courtyard of the imperial palace.
The Empress Dowager carefully selected fifteen noble ladies from the city of Bianjing for Emperor Chen Hansi to choose from.
Chen Hansi glanced at it.
No favorite.
The Empress Dowager seemed to read his mind and said, "When selecting concubines, one should choose those with good character. The Emperor should talk to them for a while, or ask them some questions to understand their temperament and character."
“…”
Chen Hansi chose one with fair skin.
But... her skin is far less transparent than Zhu Xianyue's, and it is delicate and fragile. A little force will leave marks that will not disappear for a while.
He asked her, "What would you do if your husband favored a woman of lower status than you?"
The woman thought about it and felt that Chen Hansi was testing her.
Her husband...is most likely the emperor.
As an emperor, it is normal to have three palaces and six courtyards.
He favors whomever he wants.
So Chen Hansi must want a good wife.
So she said, "Thunder, rain, and dew are all grace from the Lord. As long as my husband is happy, I am willing to do anything."
"Oh? What if your husband falls in love with your aunt?"
"Puff..." The Queen Mother almost spit out the tea she had just drunk.
What the hell is going on?
Chen Hansi is obviously making things difficult for others.
"This..." The woman was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
Her aunt is married and has two children. She is 39 years old this year.
Could it be that... the emperor likes this one?
The woman had no choice but to answer: "...If the emperor really likes it, even a donkey would have to agree..."
"Alright, alright, everyone, please leave."
The Queen Mother couldn't bear to listen any longer.
Not to mention Chen Hansi, she looked down on this group of women.
Although he is obedient and sensible, he is too pedantic and lacks originality.
No one knows a son better than his mother. How could the Queen Mother not see that Chen Hansi was obviously having another woman in his heart, which was why he disliked everyone.
The Empress Dowager dismissed everyone and asked Chen Hansi, "Is the woman the Emperor likes married?"
"No... no, mother, my son doesn't have a favorite woman."
That’s what he said, but Chen Hansi had already been exposed.
The Queen Mother stared at him for a long while.
Chen Hansi was also a person who couldn't hold back, let alone facing his own mother.
Not long after, he confessed everything about his love for Zhu Xianyue.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother said, "That girl from the Zhu family... well, it's a fate unfortunate. Seeing Madam Zhu's fame in Bianjing, a rare loyal woman, and hearing she was pregnant with a girl, I too wanted to marry her, but the Ye family beat me to it."
The grace of saving a life is greater than heaven, and there is nothing wrong with Mrs. Zhu arranging a marriage between Zhu Xianyue and Ye Mucheng.
