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

Madam Jiang and her mother were naturally very uncomfortable. Although the rules were set in stone, they were not rules. There was no reason for the grandmother and her own mother to kneel before them.

"Grandmother and Mother, please don't take offense. After all, these are the rules. If I don't accept your courtesy, and word gets out, I'm afraid someone will use this to attack me. After all, I'm pregnant now, and in some people's eyes, I'm a thorn in their side."

"So, we can only ask Grandmother and Mother to make do."

"Your Majesty is too kind," Madam Jiang said with a smile. "To be able to kneel and pay respects to Your Majesty is an immense blessing. Others may wish for such a blessing but do not have it. How could I, a humble woman, dare to have any complaints against Your Majesty?"

Then, Madam Jiang looked at Jiang Chunxi's belly and asked, "Is the prince in Your Highness's womb alright? Is there anything wrong?"

Jiang Chunxi touched her belly and said, "Of course it's fine. The Emperor values ​​the child in my womb very much. He has the imperial physician examine my pulse every day, not to mention all kinds of precious tonics. So Grandmother, you don't need to worry about anything. I will definitely give birth to the child safely."

"Furthermore, His Majesty said that once I give birth to a prince, he will bestow upon me the title of Consort."

In fact, what the Emperor meant was that Jiang Chunxi could only be promoted to the rank of Consort if she gave birth to a prince, but if she gave birth to a princess, she would naturally not be able to be promoted.

Madam Jiang's old face was beaming with joy, and even Jiang's mother was overjoyed.

“Your Majesty will surely give birth to a prince,” Madam Jiang said. “You are my daughter, so you must have inherited my talent for having children. I gave birth to your eldest brother with my first child, and then your second brother a couple of years later. So Your Majesty’s good fortune is yet to come. Once you give birth to the prince in your womb, you will surely be able to give birth to a younger brother for him soon.”

“That’s right, that makes sense,” Madam Jiang nodded with a smile. “They say daughters resemble their mothers, and Your Highness’s good fortune is yet to come. Having two children in three years is no problem at all. At that time, let alone the rank of Consort, even…”

“Grandmother, please be careful with your words,” Jiang Chunxi interrupted Madam Jiang, then gestured for Changli to hand a letter to Madam Jiang. “This is a letter I wrote to my grandfather and father. Please make sure to deliver it to my grandfather personally.”

"Your Majesty, rest assured," Madam Jiang said, carefully putting the letter away. "I will personally deliver this letter to your grandfather."

"Also, besides the letter, is there anything else Her Majesty needs to tell me that I should convey?"

"I've written everything I wanted to say in the letter," Jiang Chunxi said, then looked at Changli and said, "Have someone prepare lunch!"

It was already noon, and Jiang Chunxi really had nothing more to say to Old Madam Jiang and her mother, so she thought she should let them finish their lunch and leave as soon as possible.

There was nothing she could do; she genuinely had no good feelings towards the Jiang family, especially Old Madam Jiang and Jiang's mother.

However, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law only had a problem with her attitude and did nothing to her, so Jiang Chunxi couldn't do anything to them. At most, she could only give them a warning.

When Madam Jiang and her mother came out of the palace, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief. After they got into the carriage, Madam Jiang complained, "Being an empress is really different. I felt like I had a lump in my throat during that meal, and I didn't dare to breathe loudly when I was talking to Chunxi."

“Nonsense, of course things are different now that you’re an empress,” Old Madam Jiang said gruffly. “In the end, isn’t this all your own doing? If you had even a little bit of a motherly demeanor, Chunxi wouldn’t have…”

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you," Old Madam Jiang rolled her eyes at Jiang's mother. "Anyway, there's no point in talking to an idiot like you. Luckily, Chunxi grew up with her aunt from a young age. Otherwise, if she had grown up with you, who knows what kind of person you would have turned her into."

As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Jiang closed her eyes, seemingly too lazy to say anything more.

Jiang's mother pouted in grievance, but she didn't dare to complain anymore.

That's right, what Jiang's mother just said was a complaint. What kind of logic is there in this world for a biological mother to kneel down to her daughter? It's really true that once you rise to a high position, you forget your roots and make your own mother kneel down. Aren't you afraid of retribution?

Jiang Chunxi's letter to Old Master Jiang and her father was naturally meant to tell them to keep a low profile, not to expect any help from the Jiang family, but also not to hold her back. Otherwise, if someone gets any leverage against them and things go wrong, they shouldn't expect Jiang Chunxi to plead for the Jiang family. When it's time to uphold justice and even kill family members, Jiang Chunxi will absolutely not hesitate.

Both Grandpa Jiang and his father were intelligent men. After reading the warning in Jiang Chunxi's letter, the father and son were not angry, but rather felt very gratified.

After all, Chunxi has a long road ahead of her. If she becomes arrogant and complacent just because she is pregnant with the imperial heir and gives birth to a prince, she will definitely not make it to the end.

Therefore, Jiang Chunxi had a clear mind, and Grandpa Jiang and her father could only be happy, so how could they possibly be angry?

After Madam Jiang and her mother left, the things they brought to the imperial palace were also delivered to Jiang Chunxi.

Changli was astonished by the lavish gifts and the million taels of silver notes sent by the Jiang family: "Your Majesty, the Jiang family is too generous! So many silver notes, it's almost dazzling my eyes."

"Ha! What's this?" Jiang Chunxi didn't care about the small box of silver notes at all. "I wonder what my aunt will think when she finds out that I've become Consort Fu? How has she been while I was away from the capital?"

“How could Madam possibly live well in a place like the Gu residence?” Changli pouted, then happily added, “But now that you’re a concubine and pregnant with a little prince, Madam won’t be looked down upon in the Gu residence anymore. Let’s see which ignorant servant dares to disrespect Madam.”

"Yes! I'm an empress now, how could I let my aunt be humiliated again?" Jiang Chunxi said with a cold smile.

The time is not yet right for Jiang Huishu to divorce; it must wait until she gives birth to the prince.

besides………

Jiang Chunxi's eyes darkened.

To be honest, Jiang Chunxi never expected that the Emperor had been drugged, which explains why he couldn't have children.

It seems she'll have a tough battle to fight once she enters the palace!

The news that the Emperor was about to have another child had already been sent to the capital by fast horses.

The Empress's Phoenix Palace.

"What?" the Empress exclaimed in shock. "How is this possible? How could His Majesty allow a woman to become pregnant?"

"Your Majesty, could it be that the medicine has lost its effectiveness?" This was the voice of the Empress's trusted maid, Shaoyao. "After all these years, it's possible that the medicine has lost its effectiveness."
