Knowing that the conversation in the flower hall was over, the eldest princess couldn't wait to drag her sister and niece over, "Xiaobao, Yu'er, your cousin is here to see you today!"
As soon as Bai Yu reached Tianbao's side, he heard shouting from outside and suddenly felt weak all over.
After a while, Bai Yu sat at the round table with a blank expression, and there were more people around him looking at him.
"I really look like the imperial grandmother! Cousin, I am Feng Hongqiang. I am three years younger than you and I am nineteen this year." Feng Hongqiang stared at the young man sitting in front of her, her mood indescribably strange.
Perhaps it was due to kinship, and the young man's face really looked like her grandmother's, so even when they met for the first time, she didn't feel strange or alienated at all.
This is the first man in their royal family in decades!
After a few days, Bai Yu became accustomed to this kind of look. He smiled with the corners of his lips pulled back and had no energy to speak.
He's leaving soon anyway, so take a look if you want, just one last look.
Tianbao was still sitting next to the couch, holding her chin with one hand and watching the scene calmly. She looked proud to outsiders, but people familiar with her could see a playful and teasing smile in her eyes.
Bai Yu glanced at her sideways, his blank expression immediately filled with resentment.
Feng Hongqiang was secretly amazed at the speed of change, and also made her notice the girl next to the couch.
But before she could go over to talk, two heads came to her first, their eyes wide open, "Nineteen years old? Your hair is all combed, and you're already married? So early?!"
Feng Hongqiang, "..."
After a moment, she covered her lips and smiled, and explained patiently, "I have been married for two years. I married when I was seventeen. My husband is Liu Hanzhi, the youngest son of the Minister of Hubu, the fifth-rank minister."
Wheat Sui Sui was even more surprised. Zilaishu pulled her to the small couch and sat down together, "Wow! I've been married for two years! Don't you feel bored living in the back house at such a young age? After getting married, your mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and sister-in-law Do you have to fight back and forth all day long? I heard that there is never peace in the back house of a wealthy family, there are a lot of disputes!"
"The marriage my mother has found for me is excellent. Although the Liu family has a large number of people, the relationship between the back house and the back house in the Shangshu Mansion is not that complicated, and the female family members get along harmoniously."
The juniors were chatting together in an instant. The eldest princess and the second princess saw this and felt happy and relieved.
"Yu'er, before you went out, you said you were going to chase your wife. Did you catch her? Do you want your mother to help? While the guys are happily chatting, can your second aunt give you a tip?" The eldest princess turned her head and whispered to her son, He smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, "Tell my mother quietly that the girl you like is a sweet baby, right? Otherwise, will my mother propose marriage to you now?"
Bai Yu's butt fell to the ground.
Propose marriage?
He really thought about it.
I'm afraid he won't be able to see the sun tomorrow after mentioning it.
The godfather who was sitting at the round table and shaking his jade fan had nothing to do with him. He looked down at the man who fell on the ground and raised the corners of his lips, "Heh."
"!!" Bai Yu got up again, patted the dust on his butt, and sat down calmly.
No problem.
Isn't it just that you have to pass five levels and kill six generals?
"Daddy, please shout a few more times," he said.
The man raised his eyebrows, "What?"
"My fighting spirit will become stronger."
"Oh?" The man turned his head and called, "Tianbao——"
Bai Yu, "..."
Silently clasping hands together, begging for mercy.
When the eldest princess and the second princess saw this, they understood. The sisters' eyes lit up when they looked at each other.
The boy in the family is very wild, but it turns out there is a trick to deal with him.
Doesn't this give them a clue?
Over there on the small couch, Tianbao was focused on Feng Hongqiang, so he didn't pay attention to the whispers around the round table.
She turned her head and looked at it for a moment, then Leng Buding reached out to Feng Hongqiang's wrist and checked her pulse.
Feng Hongqiang was startled, "Miss Tianbao?"
"The side of your neck is white and the tendons are gray. You have taken poison that hurt your uterus and you are infertile." Tianbao retracted his hand, his voice was clean and cold, and sounded cold.
The voices in the flower hall suddenly fell silent.
Everyone's eyes fell on either Feng Hongqiang or Tianbao.
Feng Hongqiang Ben smiled slightly, but the smile on her face froze when she heard this. She bit her lip unconsciously, and her eye circles were reddish.
The second princess's face paled a little, and after a while she spoke in a low voice, her voice so stiff that it seemed to be squeezed out of her throat, "When she was eight years old, I gave her Juezi soup, and Hong Qiang knew about it. Otherwise, she would not have survived to this point."
Bai Yu understood immediately, "Hongqiang is the only remaining descendant of the Xiling royal family. Once he drinks Juezi soup... the Xiling royal family will be completely extinct."
The Queen is not satisfied.
The eldest princess lost her sons one after another and became mad and hysterical.
The second princess only has one daughter, Hong Qiang. If even Hong Qiang cannot have children, the Xiling royal family will have no heirs.
This is the reason why Hongqiang can survive. The royal children who cannot have children are no longer a threat to some people.
In other words, there are people behind Xiling who have been harming the descendants of the royal family.
Knowing this, the second princess had no choice but to let her drink the bowl of medicine in order to save her daughter's life.
"Here, Fengtang, how could you give Hong Qiang that kind of soup?! You, you—!" The eldest princess stood up and looked at the second sister in disbelief, her hair trembling with anger.
Fengtang smiled bitterly, tears welling up in the eyes of the domineering woman, "Eldest sister, from the time she was born to the age of eight, Hong Qiang has been plotted against no less than ten times. If her third sister had not tried her best to protect her, Hong Qiang would have fallen into those plots long ago. No... I can’t afford to gamble and I don’t dare to take chances. In order to save Hong Qiang’s life, this is the only way I can do it.”
No matter how strict the protection is, it will inevitably be sparse and sparse.
She didn't dare to hope that her daughter could escape the plot every time.
As a mother, what can I do?
She would rather become a royal sinner than her daughter——
Feeding her daughter that bowl of soup with her own hands made her heartache!
The eldest princess swayed, and then slumped down on the chair. Fragments of pictures appeared in her mind, and in the fragments were newborn babies wrapped in swaddling clothes one after another.
The gray face, the cold little hands, no breathing... Every little body is cold and stiff... No matter how hard I hold it in my arms, it can't be warmed!
"No, no...ah, ah! Oh, Dabao, Xiaobao--" The woman's temples were as white as frost, and she grabbed her hair with both hands. Her face was sad and dazed, and her eyes were constantly breaking, "It hurts... it hurts... …Baby……"
She made incoherent monotones from her mouth, her eyes searched eagerly, and finally settled on Bai Yu's face. She stretched out her hands towards the young man tremblingly, tears streaming down her face, "Xiao Bao, me, my Xiao Bao! Yu'er, Yu'er !”
Bai Yu clasped his fingers, then held the old woman's hands without hesitation, walked quickly to her side, and hugged her violently shaking body, "...I'm Xiaobao, I'm here."
He opened his lips and said, "...Mother."
The old woman paused, howled loudly, and hugged the young man tightly like a piece of driftwood, "Uuuuuu! Yu'er! Yu'er is here, mother's little treasure is still alive! Yu'er, little treasure, I am mother, I am Mother!"
