Chapter 91
Eastern Palace.
Madam Wang happily rushed in from outside and said to the princess who was leaning on the couch to read, "Great up and pack up, the prince is here to accompany you tonight."
The princess pulled the corners of her mouth, and didn't raise her eyelids, and said to herself, "What's there to clean up?"
Her appearance was given by her parents, her father had extraordinary talents, and her mother was an ordinary person. Unfortunately, she did not inherit her mother's beauty. Among the noble girls in the capital, she was a medium-sized posture that she could never see in the crowd. If she hadn't had a bit of talent and fame, if her father was one of the cabinet masters, she would not have been the turn of the princess whom everyone envied in the world.
Madam Wang is her dowry nanny, and she has also watched the Crown Princess grow up since she was a child. When she saw her majesty, she sighed secretly, sat down on the stool beside the couch, and snatched the book in the Crown Princess' hand with her qualifications, and said earnestly: "My lady is wrong. This woman is born with her natural birth and seventy percent by dressing up. Do the Empress think that person is so beautiful? Humph, they are all dressed up, and what will it look like after washing her face. Besides, the Empress is the matchmaker of the Crown Prince. In the future...who is comparable to those who are dedicated to the Prince's usual entertainment?"
It was all cliché, and the Crown Princess was too lazy to listen, so she turned inside.
Madam Wang was worried and sat down on the couch to continue coaxing: "My lady, stop making trouble. It is rare that the prince always cares about the prince recently. The prince should cheer up and serve the prince well. Try to be pregnant with another one. Don't bother me. I know you don't like to listen to this, but in fact, the queen is still young, so you can't be discouraged just because she has no fate with a little master. In this life, offspring is the top priority, and men's love is the second."
Speaking of his son who died prematurely, the Crown Princess felt like a knife and clenched her hands tightly and said, "The Crown Prince wants to have a baby, so I am the one who is more than one."
Madam Wang only felt that her master was so talented, but this man and woman fell in love with each other and had no brains to see clearly. The prince, the future emperor, ordinary people want to ask for a second wife when they have money, and want to seek a wholehearted heart from the prince. Isn’t that looking at the moon in the water?
"My Empress, why don't you understand? Even if that person is pregnant, who knows whether she is pregnant with a son or a daughter? Even if she is a son, she is still a concubine. How can she compare with the legitimate son? Did you not ask much about the Queen after receiving the letter? That's all for your good news! Alas, get up quickly, the prince will see you like this, and he will get cold again."
The princess paused, sat up slowly, looked out the window and sneered: "Does the madam think he came here now to remember me? No, he felt guilty because he wanted to accompany her back to her parents' home, and wanted to use this to compensate me..."
"No matter what the prince thinks, the queen just needs to remember that you need a legitimate son the most now, and you can wait until the little master is born before making a long-term plan." Madam Wang whispered to interrupt the princess' self-pity, and said a little decisively. She knew what the princess cares about the most. She added, "The more you do this, the more you feel happy there. You see, you are listless, you are pregnant and favored, but nothing is delayed."
The princess's face finally changed.
Madam Wang took the opportunity to whisper a few words, quickly helped the person sit in front of the dressing mirror, and called on the maids to come in and serve.
So when the prince came over in the night, he saw his wife waiting in front of the door in a simple long dress with a gentle smile on her face, which was completely different from the situation where she forced her smile a few nights ago.
The prince quickly glanced at Madam Wang behind the princess, feeling very satisfied.
He was too lazy to care about the twists and turns in the hearts of these women. The Crown Princess often gave him a face, and he indulged him again and again for her parents' sake. But if the Crown Princess continued to be so cold, he didn't know how long he could tolerate it.
"I look good today. Are there any happy events?" He walked slowly into the house with his wife's hand.
The Crown Princess suppressed her soreness and told him softly that she had seen interesting things in the book.
The next day, the prince went to court before dawn. Madam Wang pulled the palace maids who were watching the night and asked quietly. She learned that the movement in the room lasted for a quarter of an hour and was no longer as perfunctory as the previous two nights. She finally felt relieved.
But after the prince went to court, he still walked out with Xu Jin.
Among the princes, Emperor Jiahe did not like King Kang to be lazy and did not arrange any errands for him. The fifth prince Cheng Wang had not yet married and had no errands, so the two, like the youngest sixth prince, do not need to go to court to listen to politics for the time being.
"The fourth brother will be hired in a few days, right?" the prince asked with a smile.
The happy event is approaching, and Xu Jin looks no different from usual. He looks at the steps ahead and says, "There is still one month left in the end of July."
The prince stared at him and thought of the beauty he saw from afar that day, and the rumors that the three women in the Fu family were the capital, he patted Xu Jin on the shoulder enviously: "It's still the father who loves you. I heard that your fiancée is beautiful and beautiful, and he is the most beautiful woman in the capital. The fourth brother is blessed."
This was a bit frivolous. Xu Jin frowned and replied in a deep voice: "The rumors are not trustworthy. Besides, our brothers' princesses are chosen by the father and the emperor. They love me. I also ask the prince to be careful of his words, so as not to be passed on to the emperor's ears by villains."
The prince's expression changed slightly, and then shook his head and said, "The fourth brother is still the same as when he was a child, and he can't tolerate others to joke with you. By the way, today the fourth girl of the Fu family celebrates her birthday. Your sister-in-law hasn't returned home for a long time. I plan to accompany her to take a walk. Should the fourth brother go and sit together? I remember that the tea in the Marquis of Jingyang is not bad."
Xu Jin kept walking: "No, there is still something to do in my mansion, the prince walked slowly."
The prince stopped beside the white marble railing and looked at the tall figure in front of him and a confusion flashed in his eyes.
The father’s love for the fourth son is not fake, so why did he point him at the daughter of a concubine? Could it be that the third girl is not only beautiful, but also has outstanding features?
He was thinking more and more that he met that girl. Her marriage with the fourth child was a foregone conclusion. He would definitely not be able to make an explicit decision on her. However, if he happened to have the chance to talk up close, or touched his little hand and kissed Xiangze, he would be happy to do it. Anyway, she would definitely not tell anyone.
When he returned to the East Palace, the prince went directly to the backyard to pick up Fu Ning.
Fu Ning has been pregnant for more than six months. Except for her obviously bulging belly, there is no big change in other places. She is slightly rounder, but she looks better. Her face is white and red, and she is three points brighter than before.
"You are here." Fu Ning gave a brief gift, looked at the busy little maids behind him, and said a little embarrassedly: "I got up late this morning and haven't been packed yet. I have to wait for you."
The prince walked over with a smile, helped her to sit on the bed in the house, hugged the man and said, "Since I haven't cleaned up, I'll lie with me for a while."
Fu Ning wanted to refuse politely, but the prince's hand had already reached into her shirt, and pretended to be surprised and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've grown again."
"Don't do this, I'm leaving in a while." Fu Ning was concerned about the child in his belly and did not dare to do too much. He could only lean on the man's chest and whispered, "I'll go to my sister's place to say goodbye..."
She closed her eyes and blushed, and the prince was stunned.
To be honest, Fu Ning is the most beautiful girl he has ever met, and it is hard for him to imagine who would compare Fu Ning.
Such a beauty has not been close to her for several days. The prince really thought about it. After putting down the gauze tent, he pulled Fu Ning's belt and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't worry, let me kiss first, I haven't touched it for several nights."
Fu Ning knew him very well, and he stopped talking and biting his lips to bear it.
The two of them had a quarrel in the house for a while before they went to the Crown Princess's side together.
Staring at Fu Ning's charming face that had obviously been moistened, the Crown Princess smiled even worse than crying.
The prince was also a little embarrassed. He then took Fu Ning away after a few greetings. When he got on the carriage, it was already noon.
In the Jingyang Marquis Mansion, the female family members were waiting in Wufu Hall, and only the males were waiting in the front yard to go out to welcome the guests.
The old lady sat on the couch and whispered to the girls in the room: "Today, the prince accompanied your elder sister to visit her. She will definitely stay here for lunch. After the meal, you will all go back to your room and stay there. No one is allowed to walk around in the garden, do you know?"
The prince loves beauty, and almost everyone in the capital knows that ordinary beauties cannot get into the prince's eyes. The old lady is very confident in her granddaughter, for fear that the prince will take back one of them as a concubine. Fu Bao, Fu Mi and his granddaughter Shen Qing are both relatives and flesh, and she can't bear to leave them. As for the two of the second wife, the old lady doesn't want them to fall into the hands of the prince. After all, there are two girls in the Fu family who have entered the prince's mansion. Outsiders will not blame the prince, but will only spill sewage on the plaque of the Marquis of Jingyang, saying that their Fu family wants to climb high branches and want to be crazy.
Fu Rong knew it in his mind, and Fu Bao and his younger brothers were confused. Since the elders in the family did not allow it, they would obediently.
Not long after, the little maid outside reported that the prince and the eldest girl arrived.
Lin stood up nervously.
The old lady waved her hand and said, "You all go to the yard to pick up the big girl, I'll wait in the house."
Lin took Fu Bao out first, and Fu Rong and others followed.
The sun was scorching, and everyone was standing in the corridor, and hot wind blew from one side, whisking the wilted flowers and trees beside them.
Fu Rong was dazed at the slightly curled Ye Jianer.
In her previous life, she only met Fu Ning, the eldest sister. Not long after she entered Beijing, Fu Ning went home to visit her relatives after the New Year, and the prince was with her. It was similar to the current situation, but the child Fu Ning was pregnant at this time had grown into a four-year-old boy, lively and cute. At that time, Fu Rong felt that since the eldest son of the Crown Princess died early, only Fu Ning was pregnant. The prince still liked her very much, right? Then Fu Ning's life in the East Palace should be fine, but in the winter of that year, he received the news of Fu Ning's death, and he had one corpse and two lives, leaving behind a formed baby girl.
His eyes were a little sore, and Fu Rong quietly raised his head.
There are always people who die for various reasons. Fu Rong is the most unhelpful death. One is the child's death and the other is the woman's death during pregnancy. The front will remind her of her younger brother, and the latter will remind her of her sister. If she is a stranger who has nothing to do, Fu Rong may only be sad for a moment, but Fu Ning is her cousin, the eldest daughter of the eldest uncle who takes good care of their second wife. Fu Rong really doesn't want her to repeat the same mistake.
The father and brother didn't tell her about the changes in the palace in the previous life, and Fu Rong secretly inquired in private. He heard that the prince was dissatisfied with the emperor's attention to Xu Jin. Later, he colluded with the enemy to murder the two brothers Xu Jin. The emperor noticed it and intended to depose the prince. The prince rushed over and simply raised an army. He first killed Prince Cheng and his son in the name of clearing the king, and finally was suppressed by King An....
Fu Rong didn't know whether to believe it or not, but thought that this kind of rumors were indeed very reasonable. So in this life, Xu Jin and the prince would have to fight to the death sooner or later. Since Fu Rong tried his best to save Xu Jin's life, he would push the prince to death. Fu Rong didn't want to bother about things that were too far away. He just wanted to help Fu Ning avoid the misfortune of his previous life at the best of his ability. Even if she could not escape in the end, she would not die like that.
"elder sister!"
Fu Bao's surprise voice came from his ears, and Fu Rong looked up.
Fu Ning walked over with a nanny, and her loose green and white dress fluttered in the wind, making her extraordinary.
Fu Rong and Chen Qing surrounded each other and sweetly called out big sister.
Fu Ning praised each other, especially Fu Rong. She even brought the gifts to Fu Rong. She held the girl's hand and said, "I will definitely not be able to send my third sister out of the house at that time. I will give you some things early when I meet today. When the third sister gets married, we will have more opportunities to meet, so we will talk well at that time."
The attitude is intimate and natural, and there is no panic because Fu Rong is about to become the official concubine.
Fu Rong nodded with a smile, bent down and spoke to her belly: "Okay, then not only can you see the eldest sister, but you can also hug the young nephew."
Fu Ning touched his stomach and smiled softly.
Lin likes to hear this sentence, and suddenly he is not so concerned about Fu Ronggao Marriage. He smiles and asks everyone to go back to the room to talk.
Having had a lively meal in Wufu Hall, Qiao led her two daughters to say goodbye to avoid disturbing Lin and Fu Ning.

When Fu Ning leaned in his mother's arms and felt mixed feelings, the prince paced back and forth in the guest room alone, very depressed.
He came to Fu's house and wanted to coax Fu Ning, and he hoped to meet the third girl. However, when he arrived at the Jingyang Marquis' Mansion, only the males went out to greet him. No matter what he wanted to do, whether Fu Pinchuan was with him, or Fu Youlin Shaotang was with him, he could not find the opportunity to meet him by chance.
Feeling that he was bored in staying in the house, the prince went out and walked to the gate of the courtyard. Fu You walked over from the opposite side.
"The humble house is simple, the prince can't get used to it?" Fu You said with concern.
The prince smiled and said, "Runzhi is too humble. I just rarely leave the palace. I remember that the garden scenery in your mansion is unique and I want to go for a walk. But why didn't you rest in the house at this time?"
Fu You said: "My mother was worried that the prince would not be used to sleeping, so she asked me to come and have a look. Since the prince wanted to enjoy the scenery, would I be fine with the prince?"
What can the prince say?
Fu You made a call, and was half a step behind the prince, and calmly introduced him to the scenery in the garden. He was traveling three to the grandchildren of the Fu family. Fu Ding and Fu Chen loved Wu, but he liked to study and was also a famous talent in the capital. He was a talented man, and of course his literary talent was good. In this afternoon when the sun shone brightly in the scorching sun, he actually tasted another taste, his words were funny, and he talked about the scene one by one.
The prince didn't see any scenery, but was sweating all over. Hearing the sound of water in front of him, he knew that he was close to the lake, so he couldn't help but walk over there.
Fu You smiled and followed.
The prince swept around the lake and pointed to the pavilion and said, "Go and sit down. I've been walking for so long, I'm a little tired."
"Okay." Fu You's voice was still clear and he turned around and told the servant to prepare tea.
The prince was so hot that before Fu You finished speaking, he quickly walked towards the pavilion. When Fu You turned around, the prince was already about twenty steps away from him.
He stared at the prince's back for a while before raising his foot.
When he noticed that the prince's steps suddenly stopped and then accelerated his pace, Fu You frowned and his eyes moved towards the pavilion.
He saw a girl in pink skirt standing up, because the pavilion pillar was blocking her, and there was no one in the corner of the skirt.
