Big sister Xu, when the time comes, I will show some fear in front of the prince, and I will still insist on kneeling. When the time comes, you can ask me why I must kneel, and whether there is anything hard to say, and then I will secretly take a look at mother Sun, the prince is not a stupid person, he is just struggling in his own home. After all, I am pregnant with the son that the prince had painstakingly brought over, and he will pay more or less attention to the inner chamber because of the child in my womb.
When the Xu family heard this, their already bright eyes lit up again. "Are you saying that Prince thinks that your hidden trouble is because of the wangfei?"
"Yes, everything that has been done today is just to leave an impression on the Prince, and that is that the magnanimous and magnanimous wife in his eyes isn't what he sees. The Prince misunderstood you this time, and even though the matter hasn't been revealed, in his heart, he is still somewhat apologetic to you. When the time comes, you can ask the Prince to stay for a meal, and I trust the Prince won't reject it."
"Stay for dinner?" Not long after their marriage, Prince Chen had found another beauty, which allowed her to clearly see Prince Chen's character. To be honest, she no longer held any hope for this man who held power in her heart. Now that she clearly knew that this man didn't trust her, she could not help but put on a smile.
"Big sister Xu, it's more of a scheme if you don't put up with it. While the prince feels guilty, tell him a story. I believe that the prince will find it easier to listen to."
"A story?"
"Yes, I will tell you a story you once read, about a landowner who married a landowner's wife who could not bear to give birth. That wife was afraid that she would not give birth and was abandoned by the landowner, so she actually gave the landowner medicine which could not bear children. The landowner did not know that, under the arrangements of the landowner's wife, she married a concubine who could not bear children, but after a while, she thought that she had no children and felt guilty towards her own wife. She believed that after so many years, she had married so many concubines, and after that, the landowner had abandoned her concubine and stayed by her old wife."
"If I tell this story in front of the prince, will it arouse his suspicions and make him think that I'm telling this story to incite his wife?"
"In the past, Your Highness might have thought so, but now that I'm pregnant, His Highness will not immediately think of framing this area, and will only view this story as being by an observer. However, after hearing this story, he will more or less leave an impression, and in the future, I will find an opportunity to let Your Highness know that Royal Concubine is currently seeking a Divine Doctor to treat her cold ailment. At that time, if Your Highness thinks of this story again, he will probably have some suspicions about Princess Consort."
It was true that people would always be confused by the firms beside them. Something that the Prince hadn't discovered in so many years couldn't be related to her just because of a story she had casually told him. Most importantly, he was now pregnant, so there was something about the story that didn't make sense to him.
"Alright, that's settled then."
Just as Lady Xu finished her sentence, the servant girl's voice came from outside, informing them that Prince Chen had arrived.
After Lady Xu and Seventh Seven smiled at each other, they stood up, straightened their skirts, and stood to the side, waiting for the Prince to come in.
After Prince Chen entered, he looked around coldly. Seeing Qi San standing to one side with his head lowered cautiously, he coughed dryly before stepping forward and holding onto the Xu Family's hand.
"It's been a long time since I've come to see you, but I seem to have lost a bit of weight."
Mrs Xu raised her head and looked at Sun Yiyi's mother, who followed closely behind. Then, she looked up and smiled at Prince Chen, "Does Your Highness really care about me? I had thought that someone had complained and that the Prince was in such a hurry to rush over because of his heart aching for the beauty. "
The muscles on Prince Chen's face twitched slightly at the Xu Family's merciless snatching of his face. In order to cover up his embarrassment, he laughed out loud: "Who else is prettier than you in this mansion's backyard?"
She sat down on the left side of the table, looking at Sun Yiyi with a smile that was not a smile, "Why did Sun Yiyi's mother come back? Didn't she say that bringing Seventh Madame over to me would be enough for the job?"
"This... "This …" Seeing that Mrs Xu was unwilling to let it go, Sun Yiyi's mother hurriedly looked up at Prince Chen, hoping he would speak up for her, but Prince Chen avoided her eyes with a sip of tea.
Sun Yiyi's mother knew it was impossible for the prince to speak, so she turned her head to look at Qi Seven unwillingly, but she only saw the thick black bangs, unable to even make eye contact.
"This old servant was worried about Seventh Madame …" Knowing that no amount of explanation was of any use, Sun Yiyi's mother could only stammer out an excuse for herself.
"Worry!" Mrs Xu raised her tone even more, glancing sideways at the already frightened Sun Yiyi who was kneeling down, "What are you worried about? Are you worried that I will eat her, or that I will kill her? "
"I don't dare, I don't dare, this old servant doesn't dare!"
"Humph!" I guess you wouldn't dare, just based on your lackey's ability, it's probably the power of the person behind you. "
When Prince Chen heard this, he knew that things would get worse if things went on like this. He put down the cup and deliberately coughed, "Alright, it's all a misunderstanding. Don't fuss about it."
"Your Highness, now you ask me not to quibble, but if today I didn't get Mommy Chen to help Seventh Madame up in time and you came in to see Seventh Madame kneeling on the ground, believing the slanderous words of some villains, wouldn't you argue with me?" "Some things are not because I am fussy, but because I want to protect myself, I have to think about it a little more than I can."
As she spoke up to here, she picked up the handkerchief and pressed it against the corners of her eyes, her face full of sadness and sadness. The Xu Family was born with a beautiful appearance, and normally they would only show their strong side.
"Relax, relax. This King naturally will not misunderstand you." Since there were so many people present, Prince Chen couldn't just hug Lady Xu directly. He had no choice but to cover her delicate and white hands with his own, gently caressing them to comfort her.
"Your highness won't misunderstand. Could it be that there's no one in this prince's estate who's talking behind my back? They say that I was jealous of her and mistreated Seventh Madame?" With tears in her eyes, Mrs Xu glanced at Prince Chen, then turned to Seventh Madame and coquettishly said to Seventh Madame, "Seventh Madame, tell me, you've been in my room for so long, have I ever beaten or scolded you or punished you?"
Qi Qi looked up timidly at Prince Chen, then turned her head to look at Sun Yiyi's mother kneeling on the ground. She hesitated for a long time, but didn't say anything.
Prince Chen's sharp eyes flickered, and he said to Seventh Brother in a gentle voice, "Just speak the truth. This duke guarantees that no one in this mansion will be able to investigate you afterwards. It's just that you need to speak the truth."
Qi Qi was so frightened that she quickly kneeled down and kowtowed. "Qi Qi Qi didn't dare, Qi Qi didn't dare," she explained in a soft voice, "because Qi Qi did not dare, and Qi Qi did not dare, and so she deliberately asked mother Sun to bring her son along to apologize to big sister Xu. Big sister Xu was magnanimous and magnanimous, and when Qi Qi had just kneeled down, she ordered mother Chen to help Qi up.
Prince Chen looked doubtfully at the Xu family. This really didn't seem like her character. According to her usual character, she would probably make use of this opportunity to make 70-70 kneel down. Why did it seem like a completely different person now?
"I know that Your Highness doesn't believe what Seventh Madame said, that I forced her to say this, but I can't blame Your Highness for this. Who told me that I was ignorant before, and always had a little temper." As she said this, the Xu family looked up and glanced at Prince Chen, then quickly lowered her head, feeling wronged, "But in this one month that I've been grounded by Prince, I've really self-reflected on myself. I know where my mistakes were before, and I've changed my ways. Now that Prince doesn't believe me, I'll naturally be able to see through it as time passes."
No matter how many questions Prince Chen had, when facing the tears of a beauty, he had no choice but to speak and calm down.
"Look, look. I didn't say anything. Why are you crying again? No one here said they don't believe you." Hurry and stop crying, and let your subordinates just watch and laugh. "
The Xu family turned around with a "hmph" as they tried to test the tears on her face. Although she didn't say anything, her attitude seemed to have softened a lot.
Prince Chen stared at the Sun's mother who was still kneeling on the ground, causing her back to be drenched in cold sweat.
After that, Prince Chen turned to look at the shivering Qi Hua kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but furrow his brow. In the end, his background wasn't good, so he could only praise her everywhere; he was still a little too petty. This kind of delicate and pretty lady, occasionally tasting her food was fresh, but after a while, the taste would also fade.
"Seven or seven, hurry up and get up. You're already a man with two bodies, how can you just kneel? Even if you don't care about yourself, you still have to care about the child in your belly."
Hearing this, Seventh Madame's shoulders shrank even more. Prince Chen looked at Seventh Madame's awkward appearance, sighing lightly. He then called for the maidservant standing in the hall. "Hurry up and help Seventh Madame up. If there's anything wrong, there'll be some good food for you."
After the servants had helped Qi Qi Qi up, Prince Chen motioned for the people in the hall to withdraw, "Alright, all of you leave. I'll talk to Imperial Concubine Xu, mother Sun, since you were the one who brought Seventh Madame here, it's better if you take Seventh Madame back to rest. Don't play catch a shadow when there's a storm, say it's wind or rain, you don't understand a single rule."
How could Sun Yiyi's mother dare to continue distinguishing between the two? She hurriedly acknowledged, stood up, and supported Qi Qi Jian out of the hall.
From the corner of her eyes, the Xu family watched as the group of people retreated. The corners of their mouths curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile.
Humph! It was too early to think of harming her. In the past, she didn't want to fight for it, but now that she had the chance to fight for her rightful position, why wouldn't she do it?
