The eldest lady is both a doctor and a warrior, they love her so much

The little girl beside her was so frightened that she trembled all over. She immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to beg for mercy: "Please spare my life, Concubine. It's all my fault. Please punish me..."

Seeing this, Qingmei signaled her to leave, and she went to tidy up the handkerchief and gently wiped her face, saying, "Miss, there are only two of us now, if you want to cry your heart out, just cry! This is just one time, don't do it again."

Tang Yishuang shook her head and murmured to herself, "I don't dare to cry anymore. I'm afraid my eyes won't get swollen anymore and he'll see me tomorrow."

Hearing the familiar name, Tang Yishuang took Qingmei's hand and murmured, "Qingmei, if I hadn't been his, even if I had married him, wouldn't it be better than now?"

"Miss, please don't say such things. You are now the concubine of the Seventh Prince. Even if the princess of Great Chu comes to marry, the status of other women will be lower than yours. Now you have to stand up for yourself. Don't show weakness!"

Qingmei was a maid who grew up with Tang Yishuang and later became a dowry. In private, she still called Tang Yishuang "Miss".

"I know, I'm just afraid. I have had too many beautiful memories in the past two years. I'm afraid that when she comes, I will have nothing." Tang Yishuang looked ahead with a hint of fear in her eyes.

As a concubine's daughter, Tang Yishuang's life at home was very difficult. Not only did she have to endure all kinds of difficulties and torture from her mistress, but she also had to face the bullying and ridicule from her elder sister. The mistress always punished her for various reasons, making her do the hardest and most tiring work, and even deliberately starved her without food.

Her elder sister would often look for opportunities to humiliate her, saying that she was a lowly concubine's daughter and did not deserve anything good.

Although Tang Yishuang's heart was filled with grievances and anger, she dared not show it and could only endure it all silently.

Tang Yishuang thought that this was how her life would end, but unexpectedly, the emperor arranged for her to be married to the seventh prince, Ye Lanting, as a concubine.

So she finally escaped from that cold and depressing home and came to the prince's residence in the palace.

Although she was only a concubine, Tang Yishuang had the highest status in this courtyard. And Ye Lan heard that there were not many women in the backyard. In addition to her, there were two concubines. On weekdays, they did not dare to take the initiative to provoke Tang Yishuang, so here, Tang Yishuang no longer had to worry about being bullied by others.

But Tang Yishuang still had something to worry about. Ever since she learned that Ye Lanting was going to marry a wife, she had been wondering what kind of person this wife would be. However, she never expected that this wife would be a princess from another country.

At this moment, Tang Yishuang was sitting in the yard, her heart filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

Just then, Ye Lanting walked in.

"Shuangshuang." Ye Lan called softly.

"Your Highness!" Tang Yishuang hurriedly stood up and saluted, but was supported by Ye Lanting.

"I've told you, you don't have to be so reserved in front of me." Ye Lanting looked at her gently.

Ye Lanting noticed that Tang Yishuang's eyes were a little red and swollen, and he knew in his heart that she had just cried. However, he did not mention it directly, but smiled and said to her: "I have good news for you, we will have our own mansion soon."

"Really?" Tang Yishuang was delighted and smiled, but it soon disappeared, replaced by a sad look: "Is it because that foreign princess is about to come in?"

Ye Lan heard the hand on Tang Yishuang's shoulder loosen slightly. He didn't expect Tang Yishuang to guess the reason so quickly.

"Yes, but it is precisely because she is coming that my father decided to confer the title of King Yihe on me and let me enjoy the treatment of a prince. Apart from my fifth brother, I am the only one who has this honor! From now on, we will have our own mansion. You can decorate your yard however you want. Just tell me directly if you need anything." Ye Lan said excitedly.

Tang Yishuang looked at Ye Lan, who was so excited that he almost lost himself in the moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

She knew in her heart that although Ye Lanting treated her very well, he was now a prince and would definitely be surrounded by women in the future.

The foreign princess who was about to marry into the family had a noble status and would be the principal wife in the future, so there would probably be a lot of things going on in the backyard. But she also knew that these things were not something she could control, so she could only accept the reality silently.

"This is what His Highness said, don't regret it when the time comes!" Tang Yishuang smiled with pretended to be relaxed, thinking that since she couldn't stop Ye Lanting from marrying a wife, she would take the initiative in the new mansion and try to make herself live more comfortably.

After all, she is also a Da Xia person. Those servants should not favor a princess from a foreign country, right?

Thinking of this, she felt a little more balanced.

Time passed like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of the year. Hua Xin's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she was about to give birth.

During this period of time, Ye Lansheng has become increasingly busy, for no other reason than that the marriage alliance team from the Great Chu Kingdom arrived in the capital and all checked into Mingdu Inn.

Similar to the previous welcome to Western Liao, Ye Lansheng, together with officials from the Honglu Temple, was responsible for receiving the envoys from the Great Chu Kingdom.

At the same time, Chu Qingyao was also taken from the princess's mansion to the inn.

After all, she will marry directly into the Prince Yihe's Palace from here and become the Princess Yihe.

The Prince Yihe's Palace and the Princess's Palace are only two streets apart, so the distance is not far.

When Chu Qingyao learned the news, she joked that she could marry directly from the princess's mansion, but Hua Xin told her that it was against the rules to do so.

In fact, during her stay in the princess's mansion, the palace had sent a nanny to teach Chu Qingyao about the various rules and etiquette of Daxia.

In recent times, Hua Xin hardly stepped out of Fengyang Palace because her due date was just around the corner and she could give birth at any time.

Everyone in the princess's mansion seemed extremely nervous, as if a big war was about to happen.

Everyone was on high alert, as if facing a powerful enemy.

Song Guanqing stayed in Hua Xin's room without leaving. He had to stay by her side at the first moment to ensure that she could give birth to the baby safely and smoothly.

On the other hand, Ye Qingyao transferred imperial physicians and experienced midwives from the palace to prepare for any emergency.

Although he knew that most of these people would not be able to use it, it was his intention as an elder.

Except for Ye Lansheng, everyone else surrounded Hua Xin closely. Faced with this tense atmosphere, Hua Xin remained calm and composed.

She looked at the men who were even more nervous than herself and couldn't help but find it a little funny.

So, she suggested softly, "Why don't you just continue playing cards? This way I can watch you play cards and at least distract you. After all, Ning Baoer will come out naturally when she wants to, and it's no use for you to watch her like this every day!"
