Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered

From then on, the empress dowager really stopped interfering in Song Lingxi's affairs. Her baby was well taken care of, with a rosy complexion and a relish for everything she ate.

The emperor didn’t spread the news until three and a half months had passed. In order to avoid controversy, he deliberately announced that it was only three months old. This incident caused an uproar in the previous dynasty!

Among them, the eldest princess's faction was the most affected. As soon as they received the news, the faces of mother and son became uglier than each other.

……

The eldest princess's mansion.

The two people in the main hall had their brows tightly furrowed, and many people were guarding outside the door. It was obvious that they were discussing something important, and the atmosphere was tense.

The eldest princess' face turned pale: "Heng'er, are you sure this news is true?"

Xiao Heng's face was also very ugly. He hoped that the news was false, but it came from the palace. They were able to find out because Eunuch Li gave in.

However, the Queen Mother's birthday will be in a few days, and a palace banquet will definitely be held then. If this news is true, then we can make good plans.

"Mother, don't you think this date is too coincidental?"

Xiao Heng knew the inside story. He knew that in order to keep him in the capital, his mother presented a beautiful woman to the emperor. This beautiful woman was the current Imperial Concubine Ling.

The emperor is not interested in women. He finally met someone he likes, but he forced his original wife to file for divorce and made her a noble concubine. His mother had told him so.

Although doing so saved him from suffering, it also unknowingly created a powerful opponent for himself.

Thinking of this, Xiao Heng couldn't help but start complaining: "Mother, why didn't you give that lady a sterile herb to prevent future troubles?"

The eldest princess was already feeling upset, and hearing Xiao Heng's words was like a thorn in her heart.

"Why, are you blaming your mother?"

The eldest princess glared at the other person with fierce eyes. Because she was injured when giving birth to Xiao Heng, she would never be able to have another child in this life.

Moreover, because Xiao Heng had been raised in the palace since he was a child, she always felt indebted to him, so she doted on him a lot and even went to great lengths to keep him in the capital. She never expected that he would actually blame her as a mother!

"Xiao Heng, answer me!"

She had a stern face and slammed the table with a bang. The twelve-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head kept shaking, and the Dongzhu earrings also dangled around her ears, showing her rage.

The princess's harsh rebuke instantly made Xiao Heng realize that he had said the wrong thing: "Mother, I was wrong."

He quickly stood up, lifted up his clothes, knelt down and kowtowed to the princess. He really deserved to die. His mother had done so much for him, but he was ungrateful.

Moreover, Xiao Heng thought, he did not have great power yet, and this was the time when he needed the princess to help him overcome all difficulties. How could he be so anxious and restless?

"Mother, I deserve to die. I know that you have been working so hard for me and have tried every possible way, but I still blame you without knowing the consequences. I am an unfilial son. Please punish me!"

After Xiao Jin finished speaking, he kowtowed deeply. There was a loud noise when his forehead touched the ground. His forehead turned red and he looked very pitiful.

"Alas, it's my mother who is a little anxious. I don't blame you. Get up quickly."

The eldest princess sighed, looked at her son who sincerely admitted his mistake, and quickly helped him up from the ground, saying with some remorse.

"The situation was too urgent at the time, and mother didn't think it through. After all, you know that it's not easy for people in our royal family to get pregnant, and mother was only thinking about you. How could she think so much at once?"

"Do you still remember that the old uncle had more than eighty wives and concubines, but he did not have a single child. My father had three thousand concubines, but only my mother had me and the emperor."

The princess said these words on a whim, but unexpectedly Xiao Heng took them to heart.

He had had his suspicions just now, and now, the eldest princess' words just happened to confirm his thoughts.

"Mother, don't you think the timing is too coincidental? Even you yourself said that the royal family is not rich in offspring, but Concubine Ling got pregnant right after entering the palace. Is this too coincidental?"

Although Xiao Heng's suspicion was bizarre, it was not without reason, and the princess could not help but wonder, could it be that the child in Concubine Ling's belly was not the emperor's?

"I know the emperor's character. If he is not absolutely sure, he will definitely make Song have a miscarriage and will not let her have the opportunity to give birth to a child of illegitimate bloodline."

"Moreover, this is a royal affair that concerns the legitimacy of the royal bloodline. How can the Xiao family's kingdom be taken away by others? I think it is impossible."

The princess was used to the emperor's cold and ruthless appearance, and refused to believe that Xiao Jin would be willing to make such a self-sacrificing move, unless the sun rose from the west!

Seeing that his mother didn't believe him, Xiao Heng could only suppress his doubt for the time being. However, the seed of doubt still quietly took root and sprouted in his heart.

But there is something more important right now. In ten days, it will be the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. Why don't they take the opportunity to do something?

"Mother, Grandmother Gong Yan, can we just take action and take that unborn child away directly..."

Xiao Jin saw that his position was threatened, so how could he sit still? Now that he had a chance to take action, wouldn't it be better to kill the baby in the womb?

"Be careful with your words, Heng'er, don't ever have such thoughts again. If the emperor finds out, our good days will be over!"

The eldest princess scolded him quickly, saying that the child must have gone crazy. Could it be that he had forgotten what kind of person Xiao Jin was? If the emperor found out, his entire family would be executed.

After all, three years ago, corrupt officials were executed along with their entire clans simply for selling official positions and titles. The bloody smell filled the vegetable market for a whole month, which was disgusting.

Now the emperor's attitude is so obvious, and Concubine Ling was promoted above her level. If you dare to touch the emperor's favorite, you will be afraid that he will directly rip your heart apart!

"Don't discuss this matter any further. Let's take it one step at a time. Besides, we don't know whether the child is the emperor's heir or not. We can make a fuss about his background."

The eldest princess quickly covered Xiao Heng's mouth. She didn't want her son to die here. What they had to do was to lie in wait, wait for the right moment, and kill the enemy with one blow.

"Don't say anything more, and don't do anything on the day of the banquet. Otherwise, even I won't be able to save you, and I may even be implicated by you."

The eldest princess gave the instructions in a deep voice. She really didn't want to see her silly son act impulsively, so she could only give him the instructions again and again, and added one more sentence out of reassurance.

"Xiao Heng, keep this in mind and don't act on your own. Do you understand?"

"Yes, mother."

Looking at his mother's serious expression, Xiao Heng could only nod in agreement. He appeared to be very obedient and respectful on the surface, but he began to feel indignant in his heart.

He thought he was a talented gentleman and would become a good emperor in the future, so why did someone try to stop him?

And his mother didn't support him this time. He lowered his eyes to hide the dissatisfaction in his eyes. Seeing his mother waving her sleeves, he had no choice but to retreat.

Now all we can do is wait for the opportunity.

……

Xiao Heng frowned all the way, walking and stopping aimlessly, when suddenly a soft voice called him.

"Your Highness, I have been looking for you for a long time. I specially made ginger duck soup for you. Why don't you come to my courtyard and sit for a while?"

Xiao Heng turned around and found that it was Song Lingyu, whom he had just married. Because Censor Song had made a stupid mistake, he was dismissed from his post by the emperor and was now idle at home.

The eldest princess originally wanted to ruin the marriage for him, but Xiao Heng was reluctant to do so. He naturally liked Song Lingyu's good looks. The two of them often corresponded with each other, and their love was deep.

Xiao Heng finally got the marriage, and naturally couldn't bear to reject the beauty, so he asked his mother to continue the marriage.

However, perhaps he no longer cherished someone once he got him/her. After Xiao Heng favored her for a few days in a row, he forgot about her.

He recently got another beautiful woman and kept her on his farm, visiting her often, thus neglecting Song Lingyu.

Unexpectedly, today, by chance, he ran into Song Lingyu while walking around. A short separation was better than a new marriage. The two of them, one intending to seduce and the other intending to help, naturally ended up together.

"Yu'er, since it is your intention, I will not let you down. I will go to your yard and take a look."

The two of them were walking on the path, and somehow they ended up talking about Xiao Heng's concerns.

"Your Highness, Yu'er doesn't know what problem you've encountered. Your brows have never been relieved. If Your Highness doesn't mind, you can talk to Yu'er."

Seeing that he was absent-minded, Song Lingyu felt a little anxious. Xiao Heng had not slept with her for a long time. If this continued, when would they be able to have children?

Her father was dismissed from his official position. Since then, she has always been uneasy and always wanted to find a way to firmly tie the man's heart.

Xiao Heng was startled by her question, and then slowly realized that Song Lingxi and Song Lingyu were sisters from the Song Mansion, right?

"Yu'er and Concubine Ling are sisters, why haven't I heard you mention them before?"

Song Lingyu paused in her steps, turned her head suddenly, clenched her palms slightly, and a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes, which could be easily overlooked if you didn't look carefully.

They are both daughters of the Song family, but the emperor just fell in love with that bitch. It's so abominable.

Whenever Song Lingyu thought of this incident, he felt so angry that his teeth itched.
