Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder
Chapter 40 The Concubine in the Duke's Mansion
Time passed quickly and two years later, Jiang Chunxi was pregnant again and was already four months pregnant.
That morning, Jiang Chunxi brought her son to pay respects to the Duke's wife, intending to pack up her son and send him to her.
Jiang Chunxi certainly had her reasons for doing this. Leaving the child with the Duke's wife would only benefit the child and not harm him. As for whether the child would become emotionally alienated from her as a mother because of this.
Jiang Chunxi was not worried at all. After all, the child was very smart. What's more, the Duke's wife was not a cruel elder. She would not prevent the child from being close to his biological mother just because he was raised with her.
The Duchess's wife was naturally very happy that Jiang Chunxi wanted to raise the child in her yard, and she became even more satisfied with Jiang Chunxi.
In this way, Jiang Chunxi left the child in the courtyard of the Duke's wife.
It is worth mentioning here that Xiao Chen now has four daughters. The four concubines who serve him have each given birth to a daughter and have all been raised as concubines.
As for Liu Hanqing, she has been living like a transparent person in the mansion for the past two years. Apart from the empty title of the Crown Prince's Consort, no one takes her as the Crown Prince's Consort seriously.
In the evening, Xiao Chen came to Jiang Chunxi's yard.
"I heard that you sent Peng'er to your mother." Xiao Chen took the wet towel handed over by Jiang Chunxi and wiped his face.
"I really have no other choice," Jiang Chunxi said with a helpless smile, "The baby in my belly is already four months old, and I really can't stand Peng'er's troubles. The prince knows that his little monkey is always making trouble. Anyway, I really can't stand it anymore, so I can only trouble the old lady to take care of the little monkey for me."
Xiao Chen handed the cleaned towel to Xichun beside him. When talking about his beloved son, he couldn't stop smiling: "Peng'er is like me. His personality is exactly the same as mine when I was a child."
Not only his temperament, but even his facial features are very similar to his, so Xiao Chen treats this son very dearly.
As for the legitimate son born to Liu Hanqing...
It is impossible to say that I don't care, after all, he is my own flesh and blood, but the child's health is so poor that he almost stays in the house all year round.
In addition, Xiao Chen was not willing to go to Liu Hanqing's yard at all, which led to the fact that in the past two years, the number of times Xiao Chen had seen the child could be counted on five fingers.
Given the situation, it would be strange for Xiao Chen to have any deep feelings for the child. In addition, he had a precious son whom he could see every day, so Xiao Chen's fatherly love was naturally given to his precious son. Naturally, he could not have much feelings for the son whom he had only seen a few times.
As for the daughters born to his other concubines, in the ancient atmosphere of favoring boys over girls, Xiao Chen was no exception and did not care much about his daughters.
"Just praise me as much as you can, my lord!" Jiang Chunxi said with a smile, "When you are pissed off to death by that brat one day, I will see if you can still praise me."
"Haha!" Xiao Chen laughed out loud, "Don't worry! That day won't come. I'm his father. If that brat dares to piss me off, I'll beat his ass to pieces."
"Sir, Auntie, dinner is already served." Just then Dong Ling stepped forward and said:
Then, Jiang Chunxi and Xiao Chen came to the dining table and sat down.
Jiang Chunxi personally served a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Xiao Chen, then she said, "Sir, I have a favor to ask of you."
As she spoke, Jiang Chunxi looked at Xichun and Dongling and said, "Xichun and Dongling are not young anymore. I would like to ask the prince to help them find a husband in the military camp. I don't ask for a good family background, but only for a good character and hardworking and motivated person."
Given Xichun and Dongling's identities, the best way out is to find a husband in the military camp, such as those captains of a thousand households who are of civilian origin. If the men work hard and make progress, they may even be able to become wives of superior officials in the future.
"Aunt, what nonsense are you talking about?" Xichun blushed, "I don't want to get married. I want to serve you all my life."
Dong Ling also blushed: "Aunt, do you dislike us? Otherwise, why are you in such a hurry to marry us off?"
"You two heartless girls, I am doing this for you, aren't I?" Jiang Chunxi said with a smile, "But you are so good, not only do you not appreciate my kindness, but you also insult me and want to serve me for the rest of your life. Forget it! I don't want you to grow up to be old ladies and then blame me."
Then, Jiang Chunxi was too lazy to pay attention to Xichun and Dongling, and looked at Xiao Chen and said, "My Lord, you haven't given me a single word of definiteness yet? These two maids and I grew up together, and our relationship is no different from that of real sisters."
"Anyway, I don't care. You must help me. The life-long affairs of these two maids are in the hands of the prince."
"Alright, it's just a small matter, how can I refuse you?" Xiao Chen said, "Give me a few days, and I will help your two maids find good husbands."
"Then I would like to thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Chunxi said with a smile:
Xichun and Dongling looked at each other, their faces turned redder and they were so embarrassed that they could hardly raise their heads.
Xiao Chen still had official business to attend to, so he left after dinner. What's more, Jiang Chunxi was pregnant now, so it was impossible for Xiao Chen to stay with her overnight.
"That's good," Jiang Chunxi took the flower tea handed over by Dong Ling and couldn't help but sighed, "As long as your lifelong affairs are resolved and you can marry a good man, then I will have nothing to regret in this life."
"Auntie..." Dong Ling was so moved that she didn't know what to say.
"Aunt, if Dongling and I really get married, who will take care of you?" Xichun said, "What's more, you are pregnant now. How can Dongling and I feel at ease leaving you?"
"I'm not asking you to get married right away," Jiang Chunxi put down the teacup in her hand, "Even if I want to marry you off, you have to wait until I give birth to the baby in my belly. Otherwise, I won't have the energy to prepare your wedding."
Then, Jiang Chunxi took Xichun and Dongling's hands and said, "We grew up together and have a relationship like sisters. I can live a good life now, so I naturally hope that you can have a good home. Do you want me to marry you to the servants in the mansion and have your children become servants in the future?"
"But don't worry, I will prepare your dowry and make sure you won't suffer too much when you get married."
If you don't have an identity background in the military camp, even if you become a centurion, you won't get much military salary.
As for those who have a little status, it is impossible for them to marry a woman who was born a slave.
Therefore, Jiang Chunxi had to prepare more dowries for Xichun and Dongling to ensure that their lives would not be too hard after they married into their husband's families.
