If the emperor is happy with this news and looks forward to the birth of the child, which can then change his impression of King Chen and restore their father-son relationship, maybe she will also look forward to the arrival of the child.
otherwise……
"You should go back and rest first." Jiang Ying came back to her senses, her tone difficult to distinguish between joy and anger, "Relax in peace for the past two days, everything is about the children."
"Yes." Mrs. Xu suppressed the anxiety in her heart, knelt down and saluted, "I take my leave."
The room fell silent.
Princess Chen's face darkened little by little, and there was a heavy haze in her eyes.
Almost three months.
She clutched the tea cup in her hand and thought coldly. Three months ago, she worked hard to play the role of a virtuous princess and be his good wife every day.
Fortunately for him, he got a child out so quickly.
He clearly promised her that he would not let his concubines get pregnant before his eldest son was born, not only the Xu family, but also the concubines who entered the house later.
The child of her, the royal concubine, must be the eldest son.
But now the concubine is pregnant.
Men's promises are indeed farts!
Jiang Ying took a deep breath, but still couldn't let out the frustration in her heart. After that slap in the face, her feelings for King Chen seemed to have dissipated in disappointments. Every day when she saw him getting angry and losing control, she felt like she was blindness.
Why did you marry such a loser in the first place?
But now that the love between husband and wife is gone, her disgust and hatred are increasing day by day, which makes her feel extremely painful and desperate.
Especially the love between Rong Cang and Chu Yunfei in front of each other, Rong Cang's protection for Chu Yunfei, and the proud look on Chu Yunfei's eyebrows, all were like sharp knives piercing her heart, making her so jealous and envious. I wish I could destroy everything she owns with my own hands.
Jiang Ying put down the tea cup, leaned slumped on the couch, and buried her face in her palms. Her heart was gradually swallowed up by a pale and helpless feeling of despair.
I don’t know how long it took, but there was a sound of footsteps.
King Chen walked in expressionlessly, looking around the room, and saw him sitting motionless in front of the couch, his expression slightly frozen, and his eyes a little more obscure.
Jiang Ying knew that he was back, but she didn't get up to serve him as usual. She still sat there without saying a word, her gentle and beautiful face hidden in the dark, and her emotions could not be seen clearly.
She didn't want to do anything at this moment, she just wanted to stay quietly, empty her mind, and enjoy half a day of freedom.
King Chen stood for a while and saw that Jiang Ying remained motionless. His face, which was already in a bad mood, became increasingly gloomy. He frowned and said, "Jiang Ying, do you still remember your identity?"
Jiang Ying didn't speak, just closed her eyes gently.
She wasn't even in the mood to argue, let alone she couldn't argue with him.
The husband guides his wife, being gentle and virtuous.
These eight words seemed to tightly confine her within a rule of respect and inferiority. Even the relationship between husband and wife, which should be the most intimate and honest relationship in the world, must be bound by the rule of respect and inferiority. It is really ridiculous and absurd.
"Jiang Ying!" King Chen's voice suddenly became colder and more serious, "Did you hear what I said?"
"I am not deaf, so I naturally heard what the prince said." Jiang Ying's tone was calm, revealing a hint of unnoticeable boredom, "But I want to take a break and be alone for a while, but the prince thinks I have committed a crime." A serious sin cannot be forgiven, right?"
King Chen's face turned livid: "Why are you so angry?"
Jiang Ying turned to look at him. After a moment, she stood up and walked to him. She looked at him calmly and sarcastically: "Is this the only way the prince tolerates me? If three months ago, Chu Yunfei went to the palace to complain. If the behavior that led to Rong Cang being scolded by the rod was transferred to us, would the prince regard me as an enemy from now on, and would he be at odds with me from now on?"
After the words fell, King Chen's eyes were as cold as a knife for a moment, and his heart was filled with rage. He stared at Jiang Ying with eyes full of disappointment and disbelief.
"Jiang Ying, what do you mean by this?" King Chen clasped his hands and resisted the urge to slap him, "To accuse me, or to deliberately choose to add fuel to the fire when I am in a bad mood?"
Jiang Ying met his gaze fearlessly: "I just want to know, what weight do I have in the prince's heart? Does the prince regard me as your wife, or a chess piece to help you ascend to the throne? Did you think of me as your wife?" You only married me for the power in my father's hands, so you don't have the slightest bit of care and respect that a husband should have for his wife, right?"
King Chen looked furious and said coldly: "You are really unreasonable!"
Leaving these words behind, he turned around and walked away.
After leaving the main courtyard, King Chen was so angry that he had no direction. When he arrived at Fanghua Courtyard, he realized that he had stepped into the side concubine's courtyard where he had not been for a long time.
The maids all saluted: "See you, Your Majesty."
Mrs. Xu hurried out when she heard the commotion and looked at King Chen who had not seen him for a long time, with a look of surprise on her face: "Your Majesty?"
King Chen stared at the beautiful and charming face in front of him, walked into the room without saying a word, walked to the couch and sat down, his face looking very ugly.
Mrs. Xu felt anxious, so she walked over and poured him a cup of tea, intending to tell him the good news. However, his expression at this time showed that he swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips.
"What's going on, Your Majesty?" She asked cautiously, "But there is something troublesome in the court?"
When King Chen looked at Mrs. Xu's pretty face, his heart became angry. He got up and carried her to the inner room.
"Your Majesty?" Xu was startled and quickly pushed his chest, "Not today."
"What's wrong?" King Chen frowned.
Mrs. Xu lowered her head and looked shy: "I am not feeling well..."
"Are you feeling unwell?" King Chen's face darkened, and his expression became even more ugly. "It's bad luck."
Leaving Xu behind, he turned around and left.
"Your Majesty." Mrs. Xu's expression changed and she said hastily, "I am pregnant."
King Chen paused, as if he couldn't believe what he heard, and turned to look at Mrs. Xu: "Pregnant?"
Xu nodded with lowered eyebrows.
King Chen felt guilty when he thought that he had neglected her during this period. He turned around and came back to support her: "Has the doctor taken a look?"
"I've seen it." Mrs. Xu nodded timidly, "I just went to see the princess."
King Chen's expression changed slightly, and then he understood where Jiang Ying's emotions came from.
It turns out that she lost her temper because her concubine was pregnant.
King Chen thought about what he had promised Jiang Ying, and regretted his attitude just now. The concubine's pregnancy was originally a happy event, but the princess only had one daughter, and the eldest son had not yet been born. If the concubine was pregnant with a daughter, she would still be pregnant. Well, if it's a son... But King Chen is eager to have a son.
He was silent for a moment, thinking that he owed Jiang Ying after all, and maybe he should coax her later to prevent her from venting her anger on the child in the concubine's belly.
