C100 Imperial Consort Guarding

Who would dare to stop them when they arrived at the duke's manor and saw that it was the Queen's Consort? Shen Qi immediately let them go and quickly ran to the Main yard to report the arrival of the princess. When Shen Qi saw them, she just pretended that she did not see it and did not pay attention to them as she brought her people to the courtyard where Shen Jianing was.

Just as he arrived in front of the gate of Xin Ya Garden, he heard a woman's flustered scolding, "Where did you come from? "You dare to behave so atrociously in the duke's manor? Do you believe that I won't have your entire family annihilated?"

Feng Kang and the others, who were told by her to annihilate the entire clan, ignored her. They still tried to stop her from entering the courtyard, but they had seen many arrogant people in the capital who did not have much brains.

Therefore, she directly spoke out: "This consort doesn't know when this Marquis Zhong Yong Mansion obtained such a right, to be able to annihilate an entire clan?" His face was solemn and his tone was cold.

When Feng Kang and the others saw their princess consort, they all came over to pay their respects.

Jiang Shi was initially a bit dissatisfied, did they not put him in their eyes at all? Anyone could have blocked their path, but another one had come at this time. However, when they heard Shen Qi had called herself "this concubine", the paralyzed guards became a little afraid when they saw that the one who had greeted them respectfully was the imperial concubine.

It was not a secret that the Queen's Consort was his sister-in-law's blood sister. She knew why she came here at this time, and on one hand, she knew that her plan could not be carried out and was unwilling to do so. On the other hand, she was afraid of what the princess would do to her if she found out.

He thought for a while before bowing with a smile, "This official greets the wangfei. The wangfei is blessed!"

Shen Qi squinted her eyes and sized up Jiang Shi. Although she was not very beautiful, she had some looks to her, with a pair of eyes that were very lively. She was dressed in bright red, wearing several bracelets that jingled like gold. She also had a ruby step on her head. Just by looking at her attire, one could tell that she was a proud person.

When Shen Qi sized her up, she did not let her get up, so she maintained her half-squatting posture. This posture was the most tiring, and she felt that this wangfei was doing this on purpose. The fear in her heart was also replaced with anger at this moment, if not for the fact that she was acting so rashly in front of the Queen's Consort.

Just as she was about to fall down, Shen Qi casually said, "You should go back on the ground, who does this consort think it is? So you're Madam Hou's niece! " It was the side room that Madam Hou prepared for Xue Yang in the first place, but in the end, it turned out to be the second room's main room's niece.

He thought that life would not be easy since he had angered the Madam Hou, but he never thought that the other party would become even more proud the more he lived. It seems like he was worried about this, and had formed an alliance with the Madam Hou again.

What Shen Qi did not understand was that no matter how loud the fight in the backyard was, the Madam Hou would at least be wary of his own grandson. It had to be said that the Young Chiang didn't want Shen Jianing to give birth to the first child of the Hou clan in order to fight for power. After all, the Hou clan didn't have a son, but what about the Madam Hou? Could it be that he didn't care about his other son's blood and bones for his little son?

Based on Shen Qi's understanding of the Madam Hou, although she was not very intelligent, she was not that foolish either. So what had caused the Young Chiang to appear here?

Shen Qi meaningfully glanced at the Young Chiang and then directly went to the hall of the Xinya Garden. Someone immediately served her tea, and when Mo Lan's maids, Mo Lan and the others saw that the wangfei had personally come, they immediately found their way to greet the wangfei one after another. They were waiting for her orders.

"Since the stable woman has arrived, we will follow her orders and busy ourselves. Mo Lan will send a clever servant to inform your young master, and also send a servant to the Main yard to inform Madam Hou. Everyone else will follow her orders, do not cause any trouble." Shen Qi's tone was not strict, but it made them feel at ease, and so the servants began to proceed in an orderly manner.

It was at this time that Madam Hou rushed over with a group of people. When she saw that the Xin Ya Courtyard was bustling with activity and that the Royal Concubine was sitting in the hall handling the matters, and that the Young Chiang was standing there at a loss, she immediately shivered. She realized that the situation was not good!

Madam Hou immediately went over to pay respects to the wangfei with a smile. "Greetings, wangfei. I don't know if wangfei would come to a place where she's rude, please forgive me."

Shen Qi was all smiles as she signaled Zi Zhu to help him up, "Quickly, sit down. I was worried about the situation in Second Sister and decided on my own. This was a pre-emptive strike.

Madam Hou's face stiffened. She didn't think that the wangfei would actually say such words. What could she say? [Don't you allow me to be worried about my sister's condition?]

Therefore, he forced a smile and said, "Princess Consort is too polite. Whatever you say, to be able to receive Princess Consort's concern is also a great honor for Eldest Young Madam, and even more so for the Hou Mansion." As he spoke, his face was filled with gratitude.

Shen Qi seemed to heave a sigh of relief as she revealed a smile. She said in a relaxed manner: "You can only blame yourself for taking the initiative. As for what you have said about honor or disgrace, don't talk about it in the future.

His words caused both Madam Hou and Young Chiang to break out in a cold sweat. The meaning behind his words was, "I've covered Shen Jianing up, and if she doesn't feel good, I wouldn't be happy either. If she doesn't, then you guys should properly consider it."

Madam Hou couldn't help but think deeply about whether she had been harsh to her eldest son's wife before, and how she hadn't complained to the wangfei. Then, he thought about how he would have to adjust his attitude towards her in the future.

The Young Chiang, on the other hand, had a face full of jealousy and envy. Shen Jianing was always so lucky, first being married to the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, then being a concubine in the palace was not enough, and now being a little sister of the princess, all sorts of good things had been done by her.

If she gave birth to another son now, then where would the other people in the manor be? Therefore, she wasn't willing to accept this. Why would her child be inferior to hers in the future? The mother-in-law would like her husband, so if she gave birth to the eldest grandson of the family, it would be hard to say who would have the title of Crown Prince.

But now, no matter what he said, it was useless. The princess had a strong backer, so with her little sister directly taking charge, what could he do? So now she began to pray that it must be a daughter, and that she would not be afraid to have a daughter herself.

Just as everyone was thinking about this, Xue Yang ran in while gasping for breath, and kept shouting, "How is the big lady? Is it safe? "

The servant replied that he couldn't hear anything, but Xue Yang had already walked in, completely worn out. Seeing the guard at the door, he knew from his clothes that the guard was from the King's Mansion, when he entered the hall, he saw that the princess was also there. He hurried over to pay his respects, "This humble subject greets the princess."

Shen Qi waved her hand, "We are family, there is no need to be so courteous." Seeing him so anxious, she nodded in her heart. It was good enough, but Shen Jianing was finally worth it.

After Xue Yang thanked her, he raised his head and glanced at his mother and sister-in-law. Then, he roughly knew what was going on, and understood why the wangfei had made such a huge move for him. His heart was filled with gratitude towards her, and at the same time, he felt chills down his entire body.

This was his first child! After all, his second brother was younger than him, so it was only right for him to receive more love and affection. His father often told him that in the future, he would be the pillar of the family, so he had to be able to support the future of the family.

He had endured his mother stopping his father from bestowing him the title of Crown Prince. He was a man who relied on his own hands to obtain the title of Crown Prince. So what if he was given the title of Crown Prince to his second brother? As long as he could do it well, he didn't care about anything, but what about now? Just for the sake of that illusory position of heir, his mother had actually disregarded family love and joined hands with his sister-in-law to make a move against his unborn child! How can you not disappoint me? How can you not disappoint me?

At this moment, Xue Yang felt that his life was a failure. His repeated tolerance for his mother had not only brought about his family's peace and stability, but he had even almost failed to protect his wife and children! If Jia Ning didn't have a younger sister willing to stand up for her, not only would she send her guards, but she would also personally stand guard. The consequences would be unimaginable.

He felt that he had already tolerated it for long enough. In the future, even if it was for the sake of Jia Ning and his child, he would not let things slide this way. Even if it was his turn, he would fight for it! Even if his mother was dissatisfied, he couldn't care so much. After all, he wasn't alone now, so he had to protect his home and raise up the sky for them!

Madam Hou still didn't know that she was about to lose her obedient son. Seeing Xue Yang in such a hurry, she couldn't help but frown. However, because of the presence of the wangfei, she did not flare up on the spot.

However, when Xue Yang paid his respects to her, he couldn't help but express his dissatisfaction, "You're already a father, yet you're still so unsteady. How can your father and I be at ease if we hand over the house of the Marquis to you in the future? "Hurry up and wash up." After that, he instructed the maidservants to get some water for the Eldest Young Master to clean his face.

If it was a normal mother who said that, other people would have definitely called her a mother, but no matter how they looked at it, Madam Hou's disdainful expression didn't reveal any hint of kindness. This kind of expression made Shen Qi shake her head in her heart, this was another eccentric mother!

No wonder Shen Jianing was so protective of him after getting married. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake her head in her heart.

However, Xue Yang seemed to be used to this kind of treatment, as he said without changing his expression: "Thank you mother for your teachings!" What to do next could be considered as a kind of realm! This was the excuse his mother had to stop him from being the crown prince. No matter how good Xue Yang was, he wouldn't be able to meet his mother's requirements, so he had long given up on trying to please her.

Ever since Xue Yang came in, the Young Chiang had been secretly curling her lips, so Shen Jianing must have had a good life. With a husband like this that was so devoted to her, whatever good news he had would be hers, what right did he have to do that? She just could not accept it. If she was unwilling, she would let Shen Jianing take the lead.

However, looking at the undisguised discontent on her aunt's face, she slightly balanced her heart. So what if you're outstanding? You still can't get your aunt's love, hmph, isn't it good to be displeased by your mother like this?

Xue Yang was more worried about Shen Jianing inside, so he did not care about what others thought about him at all. When the servant came out, he stopped and asked: "How is your big granny?"

When Han Lan came out, she was also very happy to see her Young Master return. "Young Master, don't worry. With the disc brought by the wangfei, I'll be fine." He then let out a sigh of relief.

At this time, he was even more grateful to the Queen's Consort as he turned around and bowed to Shen Qi again, "Thank you, Princess. In the future, if Princess Xue can help me with any places, I will definitely do my best to not refuse!" No matter how many words he said, he couldn't express his current feelings. He was truly grateful to the wangfei.

Shen Qi waved his hand, "You don't have to be like this. Second Sister has suffered this time, in the future, you can repay me the best."

In Xue Yang's heart, he felt that the wangfei was a magnanimous person. Even if he wasn't the heir to the Hou clan, his promise was still quite valuable, but the wangfei rejected him straightforwardly. However, it made sense when he thought about it. With King Duanren there, what else could not be resolved?

While talking, the blood that was being poured out looked extremely frightening. Shen Qi could not help but frown, was it like this at the time of production?

Previously, she only knew that it was extremely difficult for a woman to give birth to a baby, especially in ancient times.

Shen Qi was a little worried, so she gave the wet nurse a meaningful glance. The wet nurse nodded and quietly entered the delivery room, Shen Qi maintained her composure and waited for the wet nurse to come out.

Everyone's attention was focused on the side, so no one noticed the wet nurse's movements. She knew a little about production, so Shen Qi just wanted her to see if there was anything wrong with it, just in case.

The wet nurse came out very quickly, and shook her head towards Shen Qi, indicating that everything inside was normal. Then, she felt relieved, because as long as no one was causing trouble, although Shen Jianing had activated it early, it was still considered to be enough. She had been paying more attention to it this entire time, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

Sure enough, after the wet nurse came out for a quarter of an hour, she heard a cry coming from inside. It sounded like she was born.

Xue Yang was about to rush in, but was stopped by the Madam Hou, "The delivery room is unlucky, why are you going in at this time? We'll have to see whether the stable woman will carry the child or not. "

Xue Yang paused for a while and then continued to walk deeper, "That is my son, how is it bad luck?" Then, he ignored the anger of the Madam Hou behind him and directly went to the delivery room.

Young Chiang also craned her neck to look inside, wanting to know if the one who was born was a man or a woman. Because Shen Jianing had activated it ahead of time, and she was blocked outside by the guards of the Duke Palace, she didn't have time to do anything, so she could only pray that the one born was a girl.

Not long later, stable woman came out with a bundled up baby in his arms and said joyfully: "Congratulations, congratulations, it's a fat boy!"

Madam Hou was somewhat happy at this time. After all, he was the first grandson of his own, so he immediately replied happily: "Reward, all rewards will be given." Then he went to see the child.

Young Chiang gritted his teeth when he heard that it was a boy. At this time, the eyes that looked at the child were filled with malice.

Shen Qi coughed and pulled back the Young Chiang's gaze. Seeing the Royal Concubine staring at him meaningfully, the Young Chiang broke out in a cold sweat. He had actually displayed such hostility in front of the Royal Concubine, how would the Royal Concubine treat him?

Shen Qi looked at her and lightly said: "If it's not your own, then don't even try to think about it, otherwise, hmph!" It was clear to see what was going on. In the end, he even looked at her with a smile that was not a smile.

Young Chiang immediately nodded his head with a face full of apprehension. He didn't want to do anything at the moment, he just wanted to escape this place as soon as possible. Thus, he found an excuse and said, "I'll go and check if the kitchen is ready for sister-in-law." Then he left in a hurry.

In the delivery room, Shen Jianing was a little weak as she asked the child's gender with the last trace of clarity. When she heard that it was a boy, she fell asleep peacefully, so the moment Xue Yang came in, she was covered in sweat. Her hair was messy and her face was pale.

Her heart immediately ached. She had worked so hard to give birth to her children, and if she couldn't protect them, she wouldn't be a man. At this moment, he was incredibly determined. He had to get up!

After smoothing her hair, he used kernels to wipe off the sweat on her forehead and even tucked her in. After instructing the servant to look after her properly, he went out to see his son.

When Xue Yang came out, he saw his mother hugging her child happily and said to him with a smile, "Look quickly, it's just like the time when you were young, you'll be a handsome boy too."

He didn't know what kind of expression to put on. His mother's words made him feel very complicated. He looked at his sleeping son and frowned, wondering how his mother could tell she looked like him. However, his heart was warm. A sense of responsibility and pride arose within him as he became a father.

In the blink of an eye, she bowed towards the princess again. "Many thanks, esteemed wangfei!" This was all he could say to protect his child and his wife.

Madam Hou also realized that she was too agitated and had actually forgotten about the wangfei's existence, hence he gave an awkward laugh. "Wangfei, take a look at this child and let him get a bit more noble."

Shen Qi smiled but did not mind. With the help of his wet nurse, she picked up the child and looked at his red cheeks. She didn't know what the other children were like, so she asked the nurse if the child was healthy.

Wang Ma naturally knew what Shen Qi wanted to know, so she said with a smile, "The little gongzi is very healthy, and his crying sound is also bright."

Shen Qi immediately laughed, this was because this child was not affected by the bad things happening around him, that's good!

Then, he handed the child over to his wet nurse. This little kid looked like she could be ruined by a single push from you, Shen Qi was a little scared. Although his mother had been supporting him, Shen Qi still felt that his entire body had become stiff.

After the wet nurse took the child down to rest, Shen Qi said: "Alright, but you guys should be busy now. When we go to wash up, this concubine will come to visit Second Sister and my nephew." Then she led his men and left under their respectful greetings.

After all, he was the first grandson of the Marquis Zhong Yong Mansion, and the Loyal Marquis had always paid a lot of attention to him.

Shen Qi had said that she wanted to go and see them, so naturally she kept her promise. She prepared a gift and went over personally, and because of what happened at the time of Shen Jianing's production, everyone in Xinya Garden treated her with special warmth.

In his heart, he was extremely grateful to Shen Qi, so when Shen Qi went in to see her, she thanked him with a grateful expression. "Thank you for coming over that day." Even if he said more, it was because he was a stranger to it.

Shen Qi waved his hand nonchalantly, "Just focus on nurturing your body and don't think about anything else. I came to see my nephew. " She was worried that she would be upset once she found out about the situation. Having such an unsettled situation at home wasn't something that would make people happy.

Shen Jianing also knew what she wanted to say, but she shook her head with a smile, "I don't care how hard they work, as long as they take care of the good kids now, I don't know what will happen in the future. There will be a day that they will pay back what they owe." The last sentence was also very meaningful.

Shen Qi looked at her and felt that her saying "as mother, as strong as you can be" was not fake.

Seeing Shen Qi's astonished look, she could only smile, and immediately ordered her wet nurse to bring the child over. This child came to this world healthy and had to thank this third sister, she naturally also wanted the child to be more intimate with Shen Qi.

The wet nurse came over very quickly. After greeting and Shen Jianing, she gave the child to Shen Jianing to take a look. Shen Qi went over to take a look, although it was better than when she was born, but it was still unsightly with a red frown.

"Is he easy to bring?" Shen Qi curiously asked, because some of the children were sleeping desperately during the day, and then began tormenting others at night.

He said that his father would be a filial child after he grows up, and that he never tortured me even when I was in his stomach, and that even if an accident happened during the process of childbirth, he would still be able to sleep after eating, and wouldn't cry at all. "

Shen Qi laughed, "That's good, this way you can be at ease and take care of your body."

While they were talking, a person from Shang Shu Manor, the Ministry of Public Affairs had arrived. Shen Qi was still curious as to why she did not see Lady Xu, so she had not arrived yet! But why would she come so late? It made Shen Qi a little confused.

When she thought about it, Lady Xu came in with a face full of joy. She knew that her daughter was really happy that she had given birth to a son, and she had already steadied her footing, but she still explained her lateness to Yue Yang, and immediately said, "I had originally wanted to come over early to take a look, but when we were about to set off this morning, your second sister-in-law isn't feeling well.

Hearing that her second sister-in-law was pregnant, Shen Jianing and Shen Qi were both happy for her. "This is a good thing, Mother, you can relax now."

Lady Xu's face was full of happiness. When he turned his head and saw Shen Qi, his expression immediately became complicated, but he still went forward to pay his respects. Even if her daughter was an imperial concubine, she still had to pay her respects when she saw her daughter.

At this moment, there was only her family in the room, so Shen Qi waved his hand and said: "Madam, there is no need to be so courteous." He actually didn't even call her mother.

Shen Jianing looked up and glanced at her with a complicated expression. Her mother would always bear such consequences for what she had done to herself, so she didn't say anything more. Xue Yang's experience in the Palace had already made her understand how hurtful it was to treat others like this.

At this moment, Lady Xu had a complicated feeling in her heart. She had also heard that the day of Jia Ning's production was dangerous, the Royal Concubine had sent someone to deliver the ginseng and even take charge of the situation. At the critical moment, it was actually this little girl who was treated coldly by her that protected her sister.

Right now, she was also treating him coldly, as if she was treating an insignificant person and wasn't even willing to call him 'mother'.

No matter what she did, it would be good. If there was someone who was prejudiced against a person, it would also be the same as smashing a person to death with a stick. No matter what you do, it would be very difficult for her to have any changes in your attitude towards you.

But it was related to her own second daughter, Lady Xu's heart which was trembling a little, but that small fluctuation of hers was immediately dispelled by Shen Qi from the indifferent word "Madam" without a trace. As expected, she was unfilial, not even calling out her mother.

But because Shen Qi was currently a wangfei, no matter how unhappy she was, she didn't dare to show it. She knew this little girl was not someone who was easy to deal with, and her weakness was still in's hands.
