Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

Su Yun didn't know how to comfort Consort Li, but fortunately, Consort Li didn't need her comfort: "Forget it, if you're not blessed, you're not blessed! Anyway, I'm not the only one in the palace who isn't blessed enough to conceive a royal heir. Even the Empress has never been pregnant."

"To be honest," Consort Li's voice lowered, "if it weren't for the fact that His Majesty has three princesses, I would really think that His Majesty is infertile..."

"Your Majesty," Su Yun hurriedly covered Consort Li's mouth, "I'm begging you, please stop talking."

Consort Li blinked, signaling Su Yun to release her mouth. "You've gotten too bold, haven't you? How dare you cover your mistress's mouth!"

Su Yun quickly removed her hand from Consort Li's mouth and then immediately knelt down to beg for forgiveness.

"Alright, look how nervous you are. I'm not blaming you. Get up now!" Consort Li said. "By the way, you have to keep an eye on things for me during this time. You must be extremely careful about what Consort Fu eats and drinks. In short, during our time in Jiangnan, there absolutely cannot be the slightest problem with the child in Consort Fu's belly, otherwise I will be the first to suffer."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant will do everything in my power to ensure that nothing goes wrong with Consort Fu's unborn child," Su Yun said firmly.

The Jiang family only learned of Jiang Chunxi's pregnancy and her being bestowed the title of Consort Fu the next day. This made the Jiang family so happy that they didn't know what to do. In short, the entire Jiang family was overjoyed.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, hurry up and prepare all the supplements that pregnant women need. Before the Emperor leaves Jiangnan, he will definitely grant Chunxi the privilege of seeing her family," said Old Master Jiang, looking at his wife. "I remember you have a thousand-year-old ginseng in your storeroom. Bring it with you when you go to the palace to see Chunxi."

"Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman. Having a thousand-year-old ginseng on hand can save her life in a critical moment."

"Also, prepare another 200,000 silver notes. The palace is a place where you need to bribe people everywhere. Our family must prepare enough silver for Chunxi's needs. So, not only silver notes, but also gold and silver melon seeds should be prepared for Chunxi as well."

“Father, as your second uncle, I should also do something,” came the voice of Jiang’s father’s younger brother. “How about this? I will give Mother 100,000 taels of silver to send to Chunxi. I also have a Tianshan snow lotus, which I will send to Chunxi as well.”

As Uncle Jiang finished speaking, the other brothers of Father Jiang also spoke up, each generously increasing the amount of silver notes from 200,000 to 700,000.

Jiang's mother felt a mix of emotions. She wished she could have kept all those silver notes for her two sons, or even just half of them! Why did she have to send them all to that girl Chunxi?

Madam Jiang was also feeling uneasy, after all, the thousand-year-old ginseng in her storeroom was prepared for herself. The older a person gets, the more afraid they become of death. Madam Jiang had been searching for that thousand-year-old ginseng for several years before she finally found it.

Unexpectedly, she didn't get to use it herself, but instead it benefited her granddaughter.

Of course, although she felt very bad, Madam Jiang knew what was good and bad, so she wouldn't be reluctant to take out that thousand-year-old ginseng.

Three days later, a eunuch came to the Jiang family to deliver an imperial edict, ordering the Jiang family to go to the imperial palace to see Consort Fu two days later.

In the three days, the amount of silver notes that were originally intended to be given to Jiang Chunxi increased from 700,000 taels to 1 million taels. Among these, 300,000 taels of silver notes came from Jiang's collateral branches, as well as from the original owner's married cousins. Of course, the original owner's two elder brothers also each contributed 30,000 taels of silver notes.

"Mother, so many silver notes have been sent to that girl Chunxi, isn't that...?"

Madam Jiang rolled her eyes at her niece: "What, do you want to keep some of the silver notes, even the money meant for your own daughter?"

"Mother, is my daughter-in-law that kind of person?" Jiang's mother said, feeling wronged. "My daughter-in-law just thinks that once a daughter is married, she's like water spilled from a cup, and there's no reasoning with that..."

"Shut up!" Old Madam Jiang said angrily. "You short-sighted fool! I thought you were shrewd, but I never expected you to be as stupid as a pig. You only care about what's in front of you and don't think about what it would mean for our Jiang family if Chunxi could give birth to a prince."

"Let me tell you, you better not get any funny ideas about what I'm preparing for Chunxi, or even if you're my niece, I'll still make Zhiping divorce you."

Jiang's father's name was Jiang Zhiping.

"How could I dare!" Jiang's mother felt even more aggrieved. "I was just saying it; how could I possibly have any ulterior motives?"

"Come on! I know you too well," Old Madam Jiang glared at Jiang's mother with displeasure. "If I agreed with you, you would probably have tampered with that million silver notes."

"Let me tell you, when you go to the palace to see Chunxi, you better watch your mouth. If you dare to say anything disrespectful to Chunxi, or anything you shouldn't say, then you can expect to be divorced!"

"Hmph! Don't think that just because you're Chunxi's birth mother you can act all high and mighty in front of Consort Fu. Don't you know who you are?"

Although Madam Jiang favored sons over daughters, she was still quite sensible. For example, when her daughter married off, the Jiang family gave half of their property as dowry, and Madam Jiang did not have the slightest complaint.

Unlike her niece, that idiot, whose brain she really doesn't know what she's thinking, Jiang's mother couldn't help but feel fortunate that her granddaughter was sent to the capital to be raised by her aunt. Otherwise, if she had been raised by that idiot niece, a perfectly good child would definitely have been corrupted. Would her granddaughter have had such a great destiny?

"Daughter-in-law wouldn't dare." Mother Jiang didn't dare to defend herself, but she still felt very wronged.

She wasn't ungrateful; now that her daughter was an empress, how could she dare to flaunt her maternal authority in front of her?

Honestly, Jiang's mother is now filled with regret.

If she had known her daughter would have such great fortune, she would never have agreed to send her daughter to the capital back then, which caused a rift between mother and daughter and benefited her sister-in-law, Jiang Huishu.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Madam Jiang and her mother arrived at the imperial palace with two large carts of belongings.

Upon entering the palace, the two naturally went to pay their respects to Consort Li first.

Consort Li naturally wouldn't make things difficult for them, and immediately had them sent to Jiang Chunxi's residence.

"This humble woman pays her respects to Consort Fu." As soon as Madam Jiang and her mother saw Jiang Chunxi, the two women, mother and daughter-in-law, performed the full kowtow to her.

Jiang Chunxi did not stop them from bowing, and just watched as Old Madam Jiang and her mother knelt down and kowtowed to her.

"Get up!" Jiang Chunxi said lazily. "Someone come and offer you a seat."
