East Palace.
Mrs. Chang took her two daughters to greet Empress Ma and returned to the East Palace. She felt a little sleepy, so she thought of going back to her palace to rest for a while.
Unexpectedly, when passing by the garden, he saw Mrs. Lu sitting on the swing with a sad face.
The woman was dressed in a light blue dress, but with a little makeup, she looked very charming, but the sad look on her face made people feel pitiful.
Thinking of her leaving her family and being alone in the palace, Mrs. Chang couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her, so she took the initiative to say hello to her.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? Why don't you stay in the house when it's so cold?"
Chang was brought up by Empress Ma since she was a child. She imitated Empress Ma's gentle, virtuous and kind-hearted nature. Instead of showing any hostility to her husband's women, Chang took care of her in every way.
"Sister." When Lu saw her, she immediately stood up and saluted her, then looked behind her and said with a smile: "The two little princesses are really cute."
"My sister is very lucky and has an even better life. She has only been married to His Highness for four years and already has three children. Now she has both children. It's really enviable."
The nanny is holding the princess of Jiangdu in her arms. Her name is Zhu Yian. She was born in the fifth year of Hongwu. She is also Zhu Biao's eldest daughter who is three years old this year.
The two-year-old is the princess of Yilun, named Zhu Yixuan, who was born in the sixth year of Hongwu.
The two princesses were both born to the Chang family.
And the schedule is so full, it’s really exciting to be pregnant.
"My sister is still young." When Mrs. Chang heard this, she understood what she was worried about: "Take good care of your body, and there will always be children."
Mrs. Lu was well-read in poetry and books, and she was knowledgeable and sensible. Mrs. Chang liked her very much.
No matter what happened, I would always think about her.
"But... His Highness doesn't like me." Mrs. Lu took the handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Your Highness doesn't like my ancestor Lu Wenhuan."
"I don't like it either, but as a human being, who can choose their origin and ancestors?"
"I don't have many wishes. I just want to have a little princess by my side. My daughter will be caring and have someone to talk to during the long nights."
fart.
Since she wants to have a child, what is the purpose of giving birth to a daughter? She wants to give birth to a son.
She will fight for the crown prince, queen and empress dowager positions one by one.
"It's a pity... His Highness doesn't like me. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to get what I want in this life."
In fact, it's okay. Zhu Biao didn't like her before and rarely went there once a month. But now it's okay, he comes two or three times a month.
But if she wants to get pregnant, she just needs more opportunities.
"Sister, don't say such things, how can you curse yourself like this?"
Mrs. Chang couldn't bear to see the beauty cry, so she stepped forward and gently held her hand to comfort her.
"You are so kind, and you have gained popularity over time. How could His Highness not like you?"
Seeing that she was still sobbing, Mrs. Chang became even more soft-hearted and assured her.
"Don't worry, sister. If your highness is there, sister will tell you. You will definitely get your wish."
It’s just a matter of having a child, and it’s normal for a woman to have such a wish.
The female officer Yun Qing felt that something was wrong, and she even felt that the Crown Princess was too virtuous. Afterwards, she advised her to think more about herself.
How could he be like this, pushing his husband to other women?
"Don't talk nonsense." Mrs. Chang said softly: "The Queen Mother often said that it is not easy for a woman in this world, especially for a woman without children in a deep palace."
"Sister Lu is His Highness's concubine. We want sisters to be compatible for a lifetime. Naturally, I hope she will be well."
"If Your Highness only loves me and ignores her, she will inevitably feel resentful as time goes by. As long as I show my heart to you, we can be as close as sisters."
"Just like the queen mother and other mothers and concubines, they are always happy."
When the back home is harmonious, the husband can have no worries and can do more things.
Besides, the husband is the prince and he needs his heirs to prosper.
No matter how much I can give birth to, I can’t give birth to many.
It is better to have concubines beside him to produce heirs for His Highness the Crown Prince.
"But... His Majesty's concubines are mostly from the private sector..."
Yun Qing hesitated for a moment, but still felt it was not appropriate.
Daughters from ordinary people's homes are naturally not so thoughtful and simple.
But Concubine Lu Ci is different. She is the daughter of a noble family and has more tricks than His Highness. Is it appropriate to not take precautions?
"Besides, people often say that good bamboo shoots are hard to produce bad ones. Lu Wenhuan is not a good person. How good can Concubine Lu Ci be?"
Yun Qing always disliked Mrs. Lu and always felt that she was a very scheming person.
Unlike my mother-in-law, who is as kind as Guanyin Bodhisattva.
"Stop talking, remember, peace is the most important thing in everything."
Chang didn't take Lu to her heart. In her opinion, Lu was just like herself, a weak woman.
She just wanted to rely on her husband's favor and live with her children.
Where do I need to be on guard?
In the evening, Zhu Biao looked at his wife who was pushing him away and was a little unhappy: "You are too virtuous. We already have a hero."
The implication is that it is a good thing to have the eldest son and the rest, but if not, then it is just that the Lu family is not blessed.
After all, it's not that he doesn't go, he just goes less frequently.
"You are the prince, so of course you would like to thank me." Mrs. Chang stepped forward and took her husband's hand and said, "Don't be upset, if you are just an ordinary prince."
"Of course I am willing to be the jealous wife. Let alone letting you go to another woman's house, even the second concubine will not allow you to accept it."
"But you are a prince, so it is better to have more children. Besides, a woman's life can only depend on her husband and sons."
"Even if Your Highness doesn't like her, she should give her a child. Otherwise, how will she endure this long night for the rest of her life?"
From the day she became the princess, Mrs. Chang knew that she would never be able to monopolize her husband for the rest of her life.
But it doesn't matter, the person is not here, but the mind is still there.
"Yes, yes, everything you said is right." Zhu Biao hugged Chang in his arms and said in an envious tone: "I envy the fourth child because he can follow his own heart."
I, the second child, and the third child all married girls they didn't like because of some things.
Especially the second child, who married Wang Baobao's younger sister, Deng, whom he liked, could only take second place.
Of course, this couple is not a good couple.
Chang smiled and said: "Fourth brother, with the Xu family's sister in charge in the future, I will definitely restrain myself a lot, and Your Highness will be able to worry less."
My husband is too tired, he has to take care of the government, and his younger brothers and sisters also have to take care of it.
If possible, she would like to get all the remaining princes married as soon as possible.
In this way, the husband can also relax.
But it's unlikely, His Majesty is still giving birth to babies.
I don’t know how long I will be born.
Gu Chen just didn't know. If he knew, he would be able to answer this question.
"I was born in the 28th year of Hongwu. Your charming husband can live to be 68 years old..."
