Zhou Xu, who hadn't cried until now, had tears welling up in her eyes upon hearing this.
When I was little, I didn't understand and would call for my mother, but I suffered a lot because of it, and Concubine Yu a result.
And so, that word "mother" remained buried deep in my heart for a long time.
She originally thought this would last a lifetime.
Unexpectedly, happiness came so suddenly.
Tang Zhuyun said reproachfully, "Don't make her cry. We have a long life ahead of us, let's talk things out slowly."
Zhou Xu pleaded, "Your Majesty, I don't want to sleep. I just want to know now. Please tell me, okay?"
"Let Your Highness rest," Xiu'er said. "Your Highness is carrying twins and must be tired. Let me tell you something!"
Ren Yingying raised her hand. "Count me in. You can ask me some questions, and there are some I want to ask too..."
Tang Zhuyun: "..."
It seems like she's no longer involved?
Never mind, she still has a lot to do.
The Prince of Jin must be waiting anxiously right now.
Aunt Lady Deng is here today too; she needs to go see her.
When she returned to the main courtyard, Yanran was talking to Lady Deng, which made Lady Deng laugh heartily.
"A-Yun, you're back. Yanran is such a treasure! Let me take her home." Lady Deng stood up and said with a smile.
Tang Zhuyun said, "She only knows how to please people with that little mouth. If you make her learn something serious, she'll drive people crazy."
A few days ago, I was crying and sobbing again because I was trying to write large characters; one minute I had a headache, the next my stomach hurt.
The pain stopped immediately after I stopped writing.
Moreover, she gets sleepy when asked to study, but if she doesn't study, she'll slack off until dawn.
A genuinely bad student, 24k pure and innocent.
Yanran raised an eyebrow smugly. "Crabs have their paths, shrimp have theirs, and loaches and eels each have their own."
Tang Zhuyun: "Oh my, where did you learn that?"
Yanran: "I'm just using what I learned; my auntie was just comforting me."
She knew her mother would scold her for being improper, so she spoke up first and received some comfort.
Hmph, let's see what Mother Consort can say now.
Follow other people's paths, leaving them with nowhere to go.
Lady Deng laughed until tears streamed down her face.
Tang Zhuyun: "... You wait!"
If you don't discipline someone for three days, they'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles.
Lady Deng hugged Yanran, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your aunt is here!"
Yanran stuck out her tongue, showing no sign of fear whatsoever.
"The Prince just sat with me for a while," said Lady Deng. "I sent the Prince off to attend to his business; Yanran the whole time!"
She was very pleased.
A woman's status in the household can be seen from the man's attitude.
Tang Zhuyun remained at the core of the Prince's mansion as always.
Lady Deng asked her about her pregnancy symptoms, due date, and so on.
Speaking frankly, she said, "Since Fourth Son has already ordered the Hua Cha, there wasn't much point in me staying in the capital. But he's worried about the Hua Cha, and I wanted to check on it some more, so I stayed a few more days."
Now that Hua Cha has come to the Northwest, she simply followed along.
"I plan to go back to take care of your maternal grandmother," said Lady Deng. "She's getting old, and I'm worried about leaving her behind."
Having been a widow for many years, she received special care from Old Madam Xue.
After many years as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they have become like mother and daughter.
"Grandma is in Desert City now," Tang Zhuyun said apologetically.
The Zhou Family is in power, so the Xue Family family members were ostracized after they arrived and moved around to several places before finally settling in Desert City.
The Prince of Jin seems to be in contact with them, secretly plotting something.
The Xue Family family has always been very calm and collected.
Old Master Xue also told Prince of Jin that the situation was much better than it was back in Liaodong, and that he shouldn't worry.
It's not that we're afraid of lying low, it's that we're afraid of never rising again. We must keep the Prince of Jin in check.
Both Lady Deng and Tang Zhuyun expressed the same sentiment.
Tang Zhuyun was very grateful to the Xue Family.
"I'm relieved to see you," Lady Deng said with a smile. "The old lady will surely ask me about it when we get back. After you give birth, send someone to announce the good news, and I'll come with the old lady."
"Okay," Tang Zhuyun agreed with a smile.
Lady Deng patted Yanran's hand. "Didn't I just say you had a golden gecko? Go get it and show it to your aunt."
Tang Zhuyun: "..."
Yanran recently acquired a lizard and is absolutely enamored with it, which makes Tang Zhuyun's scalp tingle.
Not only that, Yanran insisted that it was a golden gecko and named it "Lovely".
"Okay, I'll go get my Little Lovely right now." Yanran happily went out.
After watching her leave, Lady Deng said, "There are some things I know you don't want to hear, but I still have to say them."
"Aunt, you're right. My mother is gone, and I've relied on the guidance of our elders."
My aunt knows it's hard being a woman, pregnancy and childbirth are arduous and dangerous, but that's just how things are, there's nothing she can do about it.
Tang Zhuyun vaguely guessed the direction she was going to go.
"A-Yun, you are happier than many women; the Prince is devoted to you."
"But even the best relationships have their arguments," said Lady Deng. "What I want to tell you is that arguments are fine, but you can't ignore the Prince."
Tang Zhuyun: I can't let it get cold; I usually fight with a bang.
There are too many warmongers around her; she might just take action herself. covers face
"There are many women eyeing the prince with predatory intent, so be careful. Just because the prince likes you doesn't mean you can be completely at ease."
"Yes, I know, Aunt." Tang Zhuyun nodded obediently.
"Furthermore, children are precious, but not that precious. There are so many servants in the manor; you don't need to do everything yourself. Just keep an eye on things. Focus your attention more on the Prince."
The reason was that they were worried that she would become estranged from Prince of Jin after giving birth.
These unpleasant words are indeed only said by family members.
Tang Zhuyun nodded and remembered everything.
Lady Deng did not stay for a meal, saying she was going to buy some things to take to Desert City.
Yanran volunteered to accompany Lady Deng, along with Jiang'er, explaining that they would return to the mansion after seeing Lady Deng off the next day.
With many guards following them, Tang Zhuyun also assigned two reliable old women to serve them and escort them out.
Only then did Tang Zhuyun have time to find Prince of Jin and tell him that Zhou Xu had already come to the Prince's residence.
As for what happened to the Zhou Family, she only mentioned it briefly, without going into details.
The Prince of Jin asked, "Shall we invite them to dinner tonight?"
"Good."
"You don't need to worry about it, just let the cook do it." Prince of Jin helped Tang Zhuyun back to her seat and massaged her swollen calves. "Your legs are starting to swell too."
"Yes, the pregnancy is further along, that's normal."
"The affairs of the backyard are all up to you."
Seeing the guilt in his eyes, Tang Zhuyun jokingly said, "I'm just doing more work because I'm capable; you don't need to take a concubine to share the burden."
The Prince of Jin teased her, saying, "I'll watch coldly Qu Nian enjoys the happiness of his wives and concubines."
"If you're envious, I'll take Ren Yingying as my wife and take all of Qu Nian's wives and concubines."
Prince of Jin: "... This is too noisy."
He feared he would die young.
Tang Zhuyun: "You're dreaming!"
Prince of Jin said, "I've been busy lately and can't accompany you. Let her stay. If there's anything that needs to be done at Prince of Min's Residence's residence, I'll find a way."
At most, he would avoid going back to the backyard except to sleep, to avoid suspicion.
He now desperately wants to buy a bunch of obedient concubines.
You don't need to serve him anymore; the main thing is to serve Tang Zhuyun.
There aren't many capable people in the manor.
"She's not leaving. She'll wait until after I give birth," Tang Zhuyun said. "Yanran has grown up too; she'll stay with her aunt and help me out."
A series of daily reflections on how I saved the universe.
