Chapter 817 - 817-Dilemma
Madam Yuan was only in her early forties. In some big families, it was very likely that she had just made her mark. Her mother-in-law had suppressed her for half a lifetime and finally made her mark. It’s a good time to show off your power and prestige.
She was just relying on the fact that her mother-in-law was easy to talk to and that the Xie family did not have a large population. That was why she was able to refuse and live her own life in the courtyard.
If it was someone else’s house, she might not be so comfortable.
It made her go out to socialize and enter the palace, and it became a kind of hardship. The whole family looked at her as if she had suffered a great loss.
In fact, Madam Yuan was very clear in her heart.
“The palace is full of trouble and Yin energy. If you can avoid it, of course not. You should stay at home and take care of your pregnancy.”Madam Yuan held back her bad luck and didn’t say it out loud.
How many children had been lost in the palace?
It was all adults fighting in the dark, and the sacrifices were all helpless babies.
Every time he thought of this, he felt uncomfortable. That was a place filled with the darkest sins of mankind.
Whenever Lady Yuan entered the palace, she would feel a little disgusted. Those buildings looked magnificent and beautiful from the outside, but underneath, or rather, where the human eye couldn’t see, there was blood, the blood of countless people.
There were those who died fighting for fame and fortune, and there were also those who were born into the royal family but had no chance to see the light of day.
His mood suddenly became gloomy.
“.. Why don’t mother wait for me, I will accompany mother to the palace.”Xiao Baoxin sensed Madam Yuan’s emotions and said impulsively.
This kind of empathy let her know that Madam Yuan was unwilling to enter the palace from the bottom of her heart.
Mrs. Yuan laughed.” That’s not right. Stay at home and take care of your baby. Why are you going to that place?” It was just to deal with it…Empress Xiao is from our family and has given birth prematurely. It would be unreasonable for our family not to go and take a look.”
“You’re still pregnant with twins. If Empress Xiao is petty, I’m afraid she won’t be happy seeing this. We have good intentions, so why should we make people unhappy?”
Xiao Baoxin said this impulsively.
It was just a moment of anger.
There was a quota for the number of people invited in the palace. Whoever was invited was recorded in the records. If there was an extra person entering the palace, it would be fine if everything was fine. If something went wrong, it would be hard to explain.
Lady Yuan didn’t waste any more time and went to the palace.
The Three Washing Rituals were usually held after lunch. Because they had to go to Jiaofang Palace to meet Empress Xiao before this, Lady Yuan had specially entered the palace two hours earlier.
Unexpectedly, Lady Yuan was left alone in the second room for an hour before she could see Empress Xiao.
That was because the Jiangxia Princess Consort, Princess Linhe, the Huaiyang Princess Consort, and Princess Lujiang had all arrived. They could enter the house together.
Empress Xiao’s haggard appearance had already exceeded Lady Yuan’s expectations.
She had a small, sallow face, and there was not much flesh on her face after giving birth. She looked worse than before she was born. The doors and windows of the house were closed, and the smell of medicine assaulted her face as soon as she entered.
Empress Xiao was still able to distinguish between inside and outside, and immediately invited Lady Yuan to one side.
When they were living in the Xie residence, Madam Yuan wasn’t very enthusiastic, and Xiao Ning wasn’t the kind of person who would stick to a cold shoulder. The two of them didn’t have any friendship. However, Lady Yuan represented the Xie family, and the Xie family was also Empress Xiao’s maiden family. No matter how dissatisfied Lady Yuan was with Empress Xiao’s neglect, she never showed it on her face.
“The Empress doesn’t look well, you must take good care of yourself. “Madam Yuan said gently.
“The Empress is a blessed person, and the Emperor is a true dragon of the world. He will definitely protect SilSilang.”
The eldest son of the middle palace was the fourth son, the one that Handsome Fairness Zhao tortured to death was the eldest son of the emperor, Beauty Lu’s son was the second son, Consort Pan Xian gave birth to the third son of the emperor, and the Empress’s sons were the fourth son.
He had only been born for three days and had not announced his name. Calling him Emperor was the most common.
Madam Yuan counted with her fingers. The Emperor’s sons were quite lucky. It seemed that they were all sons.
However, there were also disadvantages. The age difference was not big, and it was easy to have conflicts in the future.
“Yes, the most important thing now is for the Empress to recuperate.”Yang Wangfei also said, “The Emperor values the Empress, so the Empress ‘future blessings are endless.””
Xiao Jing ‘ai wanted to say that it was hard to say.
Looking at his body, he looked like he could be blown down by the wind.
However, he was still saying auspicious words.
Her brain wasn’t filled with water. At this time, not to mention being ugly as a ghost, even if she couldn’t get up, she could only say good things. It was really hard work to create trouble for others. She didn’t have Xiao Baoxin’s drive.
Empress Xiao: ” Thank you Aunt and Aunt for coming to the palace. I don’t think it’s necessary.” A newborn baby really didn’t need to give him such a big face.”
“How can that be? This is a happy occasion. We all have to share in the joy.”Xiao Jing ‘ai smiled gently.
He looked like a pretty good person…
Empress Xiao deliberately glanced at the Princess Consort of Huaiyang. She was clearly gentle and beautiful, but she had frightened Emperor Yong Ping quite a bit. When this fellow met him, he would always stare at him with a sweet gaze, as if there were hooks in his eyes.
If it was someone else saying this, perhaps Empress Xiao would believe it.
However, Emperor Yong Ping was delusional. He was someone who would suspect that someone was going to assassinate the king and kill him if they looked at him again. He was someone who would send people far away.
It just had to be the Princess of Huaiyang. According to seniority, the Emperor had to address her as Huangshen. She was eight or nine years older than him. Was it necessary to seduce him?
Although the Emperor and the Prince of Huaiyang were a tragic contrast, such a delicate princess…Legend had it that she would be beaten up by Huaiyang Bastard every day, and she had to support those beautiful ladies in the backyard. Was she so bold and flirtatious?
Did she say something wrong?
Xiao Jing ‘ai had died three times, so she was more and more sensitive to people’s eyes.
“Empress?” She smiled awkwardly. It would have been even better if she hadn’t accidentally overheard Prince Huaiyang’s plan. Was it because her mental endurance wasn’t as good as she thought, and her face was exposed?
It had to be said that she had not been eating well or sleeping well these days. She was struggling and hesitating.
“It’s nothing. I just don’t think Imperial Aunt’s complexion is good.” Empress Xiao said lightly.”
“Yes, recently…My waist hurts a little.”
Everyone was silent. They all remembered the tragic scene of the King of Huaiyang’s Consort being pressed down by the King of Huaiyang who weighed more than 300 catties. They were speechless.
The pain was expected. With such a heavy dose, he was afraid that he would fall ill.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Xia Princess Consort arranged for Empress Xiao to rest first. They said that they were here to observe the ceremony, but Empress Xiao was hurt. She said that she was here to cheer up and greet them, so it was not good to stay any longer. She was almost unable to hold on.
Among them, only Jiang Xia Princess Consort had a high status and seniority. Lady Yuan was unwilling to step out, so she naturally followed Jiang Xia Princess Consort’s lead.
She walked out after saying that, and only Xiao Jing ‘ai kept looking back. She seemed to be in a dilemma.
