"Mother Sun ~ ~"
"Qiqi, you have to open up a bit. Since it's already like this, why don't you find yourself a noble identity? The wangfei knows about this this this morning and doesn't blame you for it. You can stay here and serve the prince in peace!"
"Princess!" When Huang Qide heard his mother's words about the wangfei, he suddenly remembered that she was currently in the wangfei's inner chamber. If she had a quarrel with the wangfei here last night, could the wangfei still spare her? Moreover, when she was pouring wine for the prince yesterday, the wangfei was clearly still there.
"Sigh ~ ~ ~ It's my fault, last night, something happened in the inner courtyard, so I was afraid that I might disturb the prince's mood, so I just signalled to the princess from outside." Ah ~ ~ It's my fault, it's my fault, last night, something happened in the inner courtyard, I was afraid that I might disturb the prince's mood, so I didn't dare to disturb the prince's, so I just signalled to the princess, outside the door. When Princess Hua-Yang returned, the lights in the room had already been turned off. Afraid of disturbing her master's sleep, Princess Hua-Yang decided to take a nap in the east room. She didn't expect to hear that Prince had accepted your message the moment she woke up. "
After giving a detailed explanation of last night's events, Sun Yiyi's mother pretended to let out a long sigh. Her goal was to make Huang Qide and his imperial concubine feel guilty.
"I... "I …" Huang Qide wasn't a person who was good at speaking, so he didn't know what to say.
"Rest assured, the wangfei knows that you were also forced to do so and does not blame you. In the morning, the wangfei even told the old servant that the girl Qi Qi Qi was also pitiful and that the fiance outside the mansion might not be able to wait for her, but since things have come to this point, it's better not to think about those lost things and think about how to survive in the mansion. The wangfei is fine, but the wangfei from the west courtyard might not let it go easily.
Sun Yiyi's mother was a shrewd person who had lived for a long time. She knew when to say the most effective words.
Sure enough, as soon as these words left his mouth, Huang Qide's heart was moved and filled with guilt. In the past month, she had served by the imperial concubine, and she knew clearly in her heart that even though the imperial concubine didn't say anything about the prince, she still held him in high regard. Every time the imperial concubine stayed at night, the imperial concubine would not be able to sleep at all.
The wangfei was the only person in this mansion who was good to her. If wangfei had anything she could use, she would naturally be happy to have her head smeared across the ground.
I don't have a fiance in the outside world, but I didn't want to be a slave for life. I wanted to marry a good citizen one day, so that my children wouldn't be like me, who would be a servant for the rest of my life.
Sun Yiyi's mother would never have thought that such an honest, timid little girl would dare lie in front of an imperial concubine and even successfully deceive them. However, after hearing the reason Huang Qiqi gave, her heart couldn't help but soften; she had also served as a slave for her entire life, so she understood his insistence. However, since the imperial concubine was her master, there was no reason for her to go against his orders just for the sake of a little girl like him.
Sun Yiyi's mother frowned, but when she thought of the methods of the Jiang Clan, she retracted her plan of scheming for Qi Qi Qi. If this was to be blamed, then it was her fault for not being able to sleep well in the middle of the night. She had to go to the garden to clean up the broken flowers, but the prince had caught a glimpse of her.
After Sun Yiyi's mother's exhortation, especially after hearing her mother say that if she could be a good concubine for the prince and open up a new branch for him in the future, not only would her children not be servants, but they would also be nobles, which would achieve her goal of leaving the palace. Moreover, she would find someone to marry outside and be comfortable, and with the protection of an imperial concubine and the love of a prince, her children would be much better than those children who had lived in the common people's homes.
Qi Qi thought over what her mother had said before looking up at her with a face full of love. In her heart, she felt more confident about her mother's image of a beautiful future, and felt that it was indeed the consideration made for her by the two of them. Now that she had obtained such a great advantage, she naturally had to stay close to the princess and help her solve her worries.
Prince Chen had gotten the beauty he had been looking for, and it was truly fresh for a while. But no matter how fresh it was, it couldn't beat this garden full of wondrous flowers. In less than a month, Prince Chen's fondness of Seventh Year slowly faded, becoming more and more frequent as he went to the west yard.
She could wake up in the middle of the night, but when she thought about it, a silly girl like Huang Qide really couldn't find a second one in this world. Rather than finding someone who was disobedient and had the ambition to re-hook the Prince's heart and get out of her control, she might as well teach this girl a little, attracting the attention of the Prince once again.
She had been married to the Prince for almost ten years now, but she still hadn't given birth to a son. Fortunately, there was no news from other women in the backyard, so she was barely able to keep her main wife's position, but at her age, it would be incredibly difficult for her to get pregnant. However, if that little demon from the West District were to beat her, then what kind of status would she have in the Prince's Mansion in the future?
As long as she could have a son, it would be easy for her to get rid of that little girl. At that time, the Prince would only have one son, and if he kept her under his name, he would naturally respect her.
She had spent a lot of effort in order to let Huang Qiqi return to the prince's care as soon as possible. Since she was old, no matter how much she dressed up, she couldn't hide the traces of time, but Huang Qide was still young, and his delicate skin gave off a youthful aura when it came to dressing up. Prince Chen had originally seen it clearly because of her young and bashful nature.
Since this was what the Prince loved, she decided to teach Huang Qide what he liked.
After several months of closed-door training, when Huang Qide reappeared in front of everyone's eyes, it really was as if he had been reborn. The only similarity was that the original feeling he had was blue and astringent, and when Prince Chen saw it, he was truly moved. He recalled how this little woman had fled under the moonlight when they first met, and he couldn't help but feel an itch in his heart.
This was also the reason for Huang Qide's pregnancy. If not for the Jiang Clan's schemes and support, based on her background, she wouldn't have been able to conceive a child in the backyard.
Now that Huang Qide had a child, his fighting spirit had grown to an unprecedented level. Under the Jiang Clan's urging, he firmly believed that all the women in the backyard were his potential enemies, and from time to time, he would drug them in front of Prince Chen and deny that they were the ones to have the upper hand. He would think of ways to make himself childless, and in this Prince's Mansion, other than the Jiang Clan to protect her, even the Prince could not be trusted.
Her long period of suspicion caused Huang Qide's body to gradually grow thinner and thinner. Even if he continued to supplement her body, it was only her stomach that was shockingly big, but she herself did not have the slightest bit of a pregnant woman's plumpness. She was originally just a delicate and pretty girl, able to catch the eyes of the Prince.
The reason why she could still visit him regularly every day was because of the children. But even with the children around, Prince Chen's patience was wearing thin, no man would like to see a frown all day, either complain about that look or the look of a grudging wife, and there was no proof at all for these complaints.
After a long time passed, Prince Chen had lost heart for Huang Qide, but when he thought back, he only called for the Imperial Physician to pay attention to the situation of the child. In Prince Chen's heart, the current value of Huang Qide was whether or not he could successfully bear children.
Every time she came, she would smile and patiently listen to Huang Qishao confide in his worries and troubles. The more frequent wangfei came, the more Huang Qishao felt that in the entire estate, only Wangfei truly cared for him.
She was not a vain person, so she naturally did not think that she was worthy of being proud of being Prince Chen's concubine. The reason why she was willing to serve Prince Chen to the best of her ability was simply to let her son leave his servant status, and also because she wanted to help the imperial concubine by the side so that she could repay the favor of the imperial concubine.
At first, he was afraid that she would become pregnant, but now, he no longer took her seriously. Sometimes, if he bumped into her, he would mock her for a bit, and if it was someone else, they would mock her on the basis of their belly, but she was not a good person to talk to, so she swallowed her anger. As time passed, her heart began to grow heavy, and when the time came, her thin skin and bones were already covered.
From the start, she had never thought of taking care of Huang Qide's body, as long as the child could be healthy and given birth, that was fine, because even if she took care of Huang Qide's body now, when the child was born, she would still have to go to the mother to save the child. If taking care of the mother was not a waste, then if it affected the birth of the child, then it would be a completely different matter.
