A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!

"Your Highness, one day of marriage is a hundred days of grace. Wulang and Your Highness have been married for ten years, and they have never even blushed... How did it come to the point of wanting a divorce?"

"Yes, among all our relatives, everyone says that the Fifth Princess and the Fifth Prince Consort are a match made in heaven. How come they are suddenly getting divorced?"

"Could it be that the boys in our family are ignorant and disturb His Highness after entering the mansion? Oh my, this is the fault of us as mothers. I apologize to His Highness. Please don't take it out on the prince consort!"

These nagging mothers kept talking to each other, and it gave the Fifth Princess a headache.

She put down the tea bowl in her hand and looked at them one by one.

That half-smile in his eyes made everyone feel a little uneasy.

"The reason why my husband and I divorced is because we have no children."

"For the sake of having an heir, I brought my husband's favorite concubine, Chu, into the princess's residence. As long as my husband can have a child with Chu, I will treat her as my own..."

"It's a pity that the prince consort refused to cooperate and would rather divorce."

The fifth princess sneered and picked up the tea bowl again, taking a sip leisurely.

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other.

They thought of many reasons, but they never imagined that it was because of this!

"Prince Consort, why don't you cooperate?"

Isn't this a good thing? Before, the princess had no children and refused to acknowledge the concubine's son or adopt the Xia family's nephews. Now that the princess has finally relented, what is the prince consort waiting for to make Chu pregnant? Why is she unwilling to cooperate?

The fifth princess had a sneer on her lips.

"Yes, I want to know too. There are three unfilial acts, and the worst is to have no descendants. Your Majesty's behavior makes me feel very embarrassed! I don't want to have no descendants to burn paper for me at my grave a hundred years later."

Everyone exchanged glances again.

One of the older sisters-in-law smiled and said, "This, this might be the prince consort. The prince consort..."

Why did he do that? Was he afraid that the princess would get jealous? But he already had four concubines!

Do you think the birth rate is too slow now?

Or has he already set his sights on one of the four concubines?

Ouch, this is really hard to write!

My sister-in-law's mind raced, and she continued, "He might be thinking of having another child, but it might not be a son. If it's a daughter, we'll have to wait another year. It would be safer for the princess to just choose one."

The fifth princess sneered, "How can it be safe? The concubine's child was born outside. When did they have sex? When did they get pregnant? Who delivered the baby? What characteristics did the baby have? He doesn't have any of these things, and you still want to be my royal bloodline!"

When the fifth princess said this, she became furious and picked up the tea bowl beside her and threw it to the ground.

This was a slap in the face to everyone.

If it were an ordinary noble lady, with so many elders from her husband's family and older sisters-in-law present, she would definitely be scolded by everyone for being so rude. In serious cases, she might even be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall.

But isn’t this a princess?

Even though everyone's faces were burning, they could only be angry but not speak out.

But some careful people have already figured it out.

What does the Fifth Princess mean by this?

Does she dislike the backgrounds of those four concubines?

Is that why she brought the concubine into the house, to personally guarantee that the newborn child would be the prince consort's bloodline?

But, but this, why does this sound weird?

Could it be that those four concubines' children were not born to the prince consort?

After thinking about it for a while, I immediately broke out in a cold sweat when I thought of that possibility.

Oh my God!

What if it is really the prince consort who cheated and was discovered by the princess? The princess is still willing to divorce him peacefully. But if he angers the princess and shouts all these things out, then it will be the Xia family who will be in trouble!

And this reputation...

Taking another peek, he saw that the Fifth Princess's face was as cold as frost, and the female official beside her also looked at her coldly.

The Fifth Princess was originally quite polite to the women of the Xia family, but now her attitude suddenly changed. Of course, she was very angry!

Thinking of this, several sisters-in-law immediately stood up and respectfully said goodbye to the Fifth Princess.

The most eloquent people in the tribe have left, and it’s not easy for the rest to stay.

Now that the princess doesn't even give them face, do they still have to stay here and listen to the princess's orders?

The messy group of people in the reception room left in less than a cup of tea.

The Fifth Princess no longer planned to be a wife of the Xia family, so naturally she would not condescend to stand up and see them off. It was already polite for her to let the personal female official see them off.

However, when the female official came back, she brought her some news that was not so pleasant.

"Your Highness, Princess Huyang has arrived."

The fifth princess was stunned when she heard this.

Princess Huyang is her aunt.

Of course, Princess Huyang and the Fifth Princess's father, the current emperor, are not from the same mother.

Your Majesty is not the eldest prince, and his biological mother was just a concubine.

It would never be the turn of the current emperor.

Princess Huyang's biological mother was also a concubine.

The two concubines had low positions and were not favored. They did not even have their own palaces and had to live in the same palace, so their relationship was quite good.

Later, several princes fought for the throne in a bloody battle, some died and some were disabled.

Your Majesty, you have some luck in picking up bargains.

After he came to power, he wanted to show his brotherly love.

But most of his brothers had died, and he still had to be on guard against the younger ones, fearing that he would become an impediment to their survival.

So he treated the women of the royal family with extra kindness.

Especially Princess Huyang. Considering the friendship between his mothers and concubines in the past, His Majesty values ​​Princess Huyang more and more.

It's a pity that Huyang is a hopeless case, with no talent, no morals and no looks.

She insisted on marrying the third place in the imperial examination, but after she got married, she complained that his family was poor and his in-laws were rustic. Less than half a year after the marriage, she had caused a lot of trouble in her husband's family.

The mother-in-law was so angry that she fell ill, the sister-in-law was beaten, and the father-in-law was so angry that he wanted to take his wife and daughter back to his hometown and never come to Beijing to suffer bullying again.

After a year of quarreling like this, Huyang fell in love with someone else, so she divorced the third place winner and married again.

Isn't the one who is remarrying the Xia family?

In fact, Princess Huyang's second husband is the fifth prince consort's cousin!

"Will you please come in, Auntie?"

Princess Huyang was considered an oddity in the royal family. It could be said that everyone covered their noses and ran away at the sight of her.

Even His Majesty, who had initially thought of taking better care of the imperial sister, changed his mindset in the end and couldn't help but frowning when he heard the name Hu Yang.

Naturally, the fifth princess also disliked this weird aunt.

No matter how weird it is, the seniority is still there.

I can only invite you in kindly.

She also had to go to the door to greet him.

Princess Huyang is forty-six years old this year. Her clothes are luxurious and eye-catching, and her makeup is complicated and bright. But even with such efforts to dress up, the princess still looks like an ordinary middle-aged woman.

When she saw the fifth princess, she smiled mercenaryly.

"Xiao Wu, I've also heard about you and your husband."

"Actually, if you want to have your own child, you don't necessarily have to get a divorce!"

"Although we princesses can't have three wives and four concubines like those princes and dukes, it's not impossible for us to keep a few young and handsome male lovers in private!"

This is really a personal testimony from her own experience.

After her second marriage, Princess Huyang lost interest in her second prince consort within two years, so she began to look for a new favorite.

And this second prince consort was also an extraordinary person. Not only did he not mind Princess Huyang finding a new love, he was also generous enough to help her make connections.

Since the prince consort is so knowledgeable and tactful, shouldn't Princess Huyang return the favor?

Later on, the couple each had a lover, and sometimes they would get together openly, which was really a mess... In short, Princess Huyang was not liked by the female members of the royal family, mostly because of this.

The Fifth Princess looked at Princess Huyang and asked with a sneer, "Did my consort ask you to be a lobbyist? He even agreed to let me take his male concubine as his wife?"

Although agreeing to let her take a male lover sounds quite generous and is indeed a solution.

For example, in Princess Huyang's mansion, there are not only illegitimate children born to her husband and other people, but also illegitimate children born to Huyang and her male favorite. Those children are also a mess... But no matter how messy it is, the eldest son should be the one born to her husband and Huyang, and he also inherited the title of marquis from the princess's son.

In other words, there is a bond of interest between the prince consort and Huyang.

As for her, she was unable to give birth to children with her husband for ten years.

Even if she found a male lover, the child born would have nothing to do with the Prince Consort. The Fifth Prince Consort was a cunning guy, and she didn't believe at all that he would not do anything about it.

After all, three years ago, the Fifth Prince Consort had used a lot of tricks to force Dong Banban to retire and return home, and give up the position of chief steward of the Princess's Mansion.

Besides, she is a noble lady, why should she damage her reputation for a man who is full of lies?

"Aunt, I'm sorry I can't agree with what you said. I've divorced my husband and I'll just find a good boy to be my husband. Why do I need to find a male concubine?"

Princess Huyang patted the Fifth Princess on the shoulder and winked, "Oh! Little Fifth, I'm not trying to discourage you. Although you are the emperor's daughter and you won't have trouble finding a husband, those of your age who don't have a wife are now widows, and most of them have several children. Once you get married, you'll have to be a stepmother. Isn't that very troublesome?"

"If you want to find someone younger than you, then there are some, but they are much inferior in status and appearance. They can only be illegitimate sons of wealthy families, or sons of poor families. Besides, these people may not know how to appreciate it and do it unwillingly, so why bother? It's better to keep the Fifth Prince Consort as a cover, and we only need to find someone who is handsome, speaks well, and is good in bed... How about it, there are a few new ones at my aunt's place. I know you are shy, so I'll keep them all for you. You haven't tried them yet..."

The Fifth Princess felt annoyed when she heard this and interrupted, "No need, Aunt, you should keep it for yourself. I have made up my mind about the divorce. I actually went to the palace to talk to my father about it yesterday..."

Princess Huyang's face turned pale. "What? Xiaowu, you actually complained to His Majesty? After all, we are still husband and wife, are you really going to kill him? These people from the Xia family have never offended you, right?"

She and her second husband were like-minded, and many people from the Xia family often came to flatter her, making her very satisfied with the Xia family.

In fact, she also played a role in Xiaowu's selection of Xia's son-in-law as the prince consort. It was she who revealed a lot of Xiaowu's preferences to the people of the Xia family, which enabled Xia's son-in-law to stand out among the four candidates.

The Fifth Princess smiled slightly, "I just mentioned to my father that the palace is too chaotic now. The bloodline of the four children is unknown, and there are several nephews and nieces of the Xia family who refuse to leave, making noise and fighting, which is very unbecoming."

"I asked my father for a few skilled eunuchs and a few female officials. They are to supervise the husband to have children. If the husband listens to me and really gives birth, then everything is fine. If he refuses, then I will divorce him... My father has agreed. Otherwise, even the chief steward of my princess's mansion has been bribed by the husband. How can I order him around and lock him up with his beloved concubine?"

Princess Huyang became furious after hearing this. She opened her mouth wide and was unable to speak for a long time.

"You, you, why do you have to do things so drastically?"

"Aunt, what you said is wrong. If the prince consort had not done it on the first day, why would I do it on the fifteenth?"

The Fifth Princess thought about how her aunt had said a lot of good things to Prince Consort Xia in front of her, and she became even more angry. "Aunt, I want to divorce Prince Consort Xia. I have to pack up Prince Consort Xia's personal belongings and return them to him. I'm busy, so I won't invite you to dinner..."

Princess Huyang watched as the other party ordered them to leave, and quickly changed her expression, trying to save the situation, "Xiao Wu, do you want to reconsider? If you don't like ordinary commoners, the Xia family also has many good-looking ones..."

Unfortunately, she failed to convince the Fifth Princess in the end and was instead forcibly sent away by the Fifth Princess.

When she was leaving the Fifth Princess's Mansion, she happened to see a carriage parked at the side door.

A woman in plain clothes got off the carriage. She looked about the same age as the Fifth Princess. A palace maid beside the Fifth Princess had been waiting at the door and welcomed the woman in very attentively.

Princess Huyang's face looked a little unhappy.

She said she had something to do and asked her, her aunt, to come out, but she had to meet these people who didn't know what she was talking about...

She turned to her trusted followers and ordered, "Go check which family this woman belongs to and why she is so close to the Fifth Princess?"

The fifth princess and the fifth prince consort have been together for so many years, how come they suddenly had a quarrel?

Maybe someone said something bad in front of the Fifth Princess.

If she finds out, I will definitely teach her a lesson!

After all, it was she who had been the one who supported and promoted the Fifth Princess' marriage.

Now the Fifth Prince Consort's parents have given her a lot of expensive gifts, hoping that she can act as a lobbyist and reconcile the couple.

But Xiaowu refused to listen and insisted on leaving. Wasn't that a slap in the face of her as her aunt?
