Today, Lu Qingtang deliberately let the babies wear clothes made by Wang Cairen, because she knew that as long as Mo Ze went deep into the palace, Wang Cairen would hang around Longqing Palace.
She had been staying in the palace to accompany the Queen Mother these two days. When she got up this morning, Su Mu told her that Wang Cairen was talking to Mo Zeshen. Although they only said a few words, the smile on Wang Cairen's face was But I can't hide my intention.
But now, a few of them went out to play, and they happened to see Wang Cairen. Who would believe it if they said they met by chance.
Let Wang Cairen watch her baby put on the clothes she made by herself, which can be regarded as a kind of comfort to her.
After a while, Lu Qingtang asked the nannies to take the child over, and she began to have a heart-to-heart talk with Wang Cairen.
Even in the palace, Lu Qingtang was aware of Wang Cairen's days in the palace. Concubine Ning is domineering, and the queen can't control it. These concubines are either like Concubine Shu who can't be bullied because of their favor, or they have to have a sufficient background.
There are many people like Wang Cairen who have no background, no favor, and are getting older. It is common for them to be bullied.
But she clearly has a son, but she doesn't dare to recognize him, and even grovels in front of her enemies. This is so frustrating.
"Don't Wang Cairen hate Concubine Ning?" Lu Qingtang looked at Wang Cairen.
Wang Cairen's beautiful face was a little confused, "I...I don't quite understand what Princess Chen said."
"Don't you hate her for treating you like this?" Lu Qingtang continued to ask.
Wang Cairen sighed slightly, "So what if I hate you. My status is here and I am getting old. What's the use of just hating me."
It can be seen that Wang Cai's temperament is not the kind of aggressive, which is very similar to Mo Zeshen.
"Then let me tell you a story." Lu Qingtang said in a different way.
Wang Cairen nodded repeatedly, "Princess Chen, please tell me. I haven't heard a story for a long time."
"Once upon a time, there was a Yuanwai. He had a wife and two concubines. The wife was from a wealthy family, but she could not have children. One of the two concubines was a noble concubine, and the other was the daughter of an ordinary family. The Yuanwai was rich and needed heirs to inherit the wealth for him. , the two concubines happened to be pregnant at the same time, Wang Cairen, who should give this property to?" Lu Qingtang asked Wang Cairen.
Wang Cairen thought for a while, "Of course it is for the boy in the arms. No matter how expensive the concubine is, the child must be raised by the main wife."
Lu Qingtang nodded, "Wang Cairen is right, they have finally given birth. Unfortunately, the noble concubine gave birth to a baby boy, while the ordinary one gave birth to a dead baby."
"Dead baby..." When Wang Cairen heard the word dead baby, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
She immediately grabbed Lu Qingtang's hand and asked her, "How did he die? Was it a boy or a girl?"
"The boy or girl is not important, the important thing is the dead baby." Lu Qingtang said, "The concubine who gave birth to the dead baby was extremely painful. She thought her life should not be like this. She was very sad at first, after all, it was the flesh that fell from her body. Later, she gradually realized that something was wrong with the dead baby."
Wang Cairen's face turned pale, "What's wrong?"
Lu Qingtang looked at her solemnly, "She suddenly realized that this dead baby was not normal. It seemed to have been strangled to death! Her child was strangled to death!"
Wang Cairen clenched his fists so hard that his joints turned white, "Who did this? Who was so cruel that he strangled a newborn baby to death."
"I don't know about this. Later, the noble concubine's child gradually grew up and became a tall boy. The ordinary concubine was thinking, if my child lives, then he must be like this She was tall and big, so she took a peek at the boy every day." Lu Qingtang continued, "She was even a little crazy, and she wandered around in front of the boy every day. The boy was also disgusted at first, but then he gradually adapted to it. Later, when I didn't see this concubine, I felt unhappy."
Wang Cairen looked puzzled, "What does she want to do?"
When Lu Qingtang saw the opportunity, he immediately sneered, "The young man also wanted to ask her why she always looked at him. The concubine smiled and said nothing, and the two gradually became familiar with each other. Later, one day, the concubine suddenly stopped the concubine from getting close to her. child, but the concubine told the noble concubine that the boy was her child."
"Why is she like this! How can she take someone else's child as her own!" Wang Cairen was so angry that he stood up.
Lu Qingtang was silent for a moment, then looked up at her, "Wang Cairen is right. How can someone else's child be your own? So what do you mean?"
Wang Cairen, who was still angry just now, was suddenly stunned by Lu Qingtang's words. She said blankly: "What does Princess Chen mean?"
"Isn't my meaning clear enough? Wang Cairen, you hang around Longqing Palace every day, don't you think we are stupid? Do you also want Mo Zeshen to be your son, just like that concubine." Lu Qingtang was cold. He lowered his face to look at her.
Wang Cairen was stunned for a moment, then immediately waved his hand, "Princess Chen, I didn't. You misunderstood, how could I..."
Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she was frightened by Lu Qingtang's expression.
Wang Cairen was a little confused as to why the person who had a friendly face just now turned like this when he turned around.
"What's the misunderstanding! As soon as Mo Zeshen enters the palace, you hide and peek at him. If you don't have something in your heart, why do you do it secretly?" Lu Qingtang looked at her, "Wang Cairen, don't think you are doing a lot of things for your child. With clothes and a few words of greeting, you can become your child's grandmother, and Mo Zeshen is not a young man who can mess around with you at will."
Wang Cairen was so frightened that she shed tears, "Princess Chen, you misunderstood, I really am... I will never peek again..."
She felt extremely wronged.
She cannot recognize her biological son, and she dare not recognize her biological grandson. Now even her daughter-in-law is doubting herself. She wants to hang herself immediately. Living is too painful...
"You admit it, right?" Lu Qingtang's eyes suddenly became gentle, "Actually, you don't have to be secretive to see your son. You can see it openly, mother-in-law."
The sound of "mother-in-law" made Wang Cairen burst into tears. She suddenly fell down on the stone bench, covered her face with her hands and cried softly.
While crying, she said: "Princess Chen, please don't talk nonsense. How can I be your mother-in-law? Carefully, others heard what happened after the birth."
"What's right and wrong? I only recognize you as my mother-in-law, unless you don't want to recognize Mo Zeshen." Lu Qingtang said, got off his knees and knelt at Wang Cairen's feet.
Wang Cairen was stunned, and immediately stretched out his hand to help her up, "Good boy, what are you doing? You are still pregnant, and your prince will feel sorry for you if you check the fetal force carefully."
Look, this is the biological mother.
She will take care of your health no matter what, unlike Concubine Ning who just blindly abuses her son and uses him as a punching bag.
