When my vicious stepmother mistakenly married me to the Immortal Lord

The Ministry of Internal Affairs selected hundreds of maids and attendants for Jiang Song, each of whom was carefully selected and well-trained.

Jiang Song only kept the minimum number of people required to keep the princess's mansion running normally, and rewarded the rest with silver, allowing them to choose whether to stay or leave.

She didn't like having too many people serving her, as she felt uncomfortable. What's more, neither she nor Xie Changyan liked extravagance.

The housekeeper of the princess's mansion was a shrewd and capable middle-aged man named Zhou Ji, who was personally selected by Ximen Liu.

He not only knew the royal rules well, but also understood the ways of the world and could handle affairs inside and outside the palace well.

Jiang Song handed over all the affairs of the princess's mansion to Zhou Ji, so he had more time to do other meaningful things.

For example, practicing, taking care of Lingyun Pavilion, spending time with Xie Changyan, and visiting her grandmother Shentu Yuanyi.

On the second day after the enthronement, Jiang Song and Xie Changyan were summoned to the palace to meet the Queen Mother.

The two of them walked hand in hand into the Queen Mother's bedroom, where they saw a magnificent palace filled with golden and magnificent flowers, filled with fragrant aromas. The palace maids lowered their heads and stood respectfully on both sides.

The Queen Mother sat on a high seat, wearing a gorgeous phoenix robe, pearls and jade on her head, and a kind face.

Jiang Song and Xie Changyan bowed and greeted each other. The Queen Mother stared at Jiang Song, tears flashing in her eyes, as if there were thousands of words stuck in her throat.

"Song'er, my child, you are finally back." The Queen Mother's voice trembled as she reached out and gently stroked Jiang Song's face.

Jiang Song felt the warmth of the Queen Mother's palm, and her eyes moistened, "Grandmother..."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother's tears finally rolled down her cheeks. She held Jiang Song's hand tightly and said, "My dear, you have suffered so much over the years. It's all because of your grandmother that she found you so late."

Jiang Song shook his head and gently comforted her, "Grandma, it's not your fault. I'm already very satisfied to see you again."

The Queen Mother wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and looked at Jiang Song carefully, as if she wanted to make up for the time she had missed over the years.

"It's a pity for your mother, my Hua'er..."

When the Queen Mother mentioned Jiang Song's mother, she felt grief-stricken again and her eyes became red again.

The Jiang family and Du Shulan and her daughter dared to humiliate her Hua'er in that way, so they should be cut into pieces and their death is not a pity!

Fortunately, Hua'er's daughter has been found and is so outstanding, which makes her feel a little comforted in her grief.

The Queen Mother held Jiang Song's hand, as if she had endless things to say. Xie Changyan stood quietly by the side, looking at them tenderly.

"Changyan, I heard that you have always been in poor health. Have you found a cure?" The Queen Mother was chatting when she suddenly changed the subject and asked about Xie Changyan's condition.

Shentu Yuanyi heard from Aliu that the Xie family treated Song'er very well, and Xie Guangting and his wife treated Song'er as their own daughter. Song'er and Xie Changyan had been married for a year and had a deep affection for each other, living in harmony.

She didn't care much about his good family tradition and family background, but she was quite worried about Xie Changyan's physical condition.

After all, Song'er is her granddaughter, so she naturally hopes that Song'er can be happy and healthy and live happily with her husband until old age.

Xie Changyan was slightly startled. "Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother. I am no longer seriously ill and am now recovering."

"Please don't hide it from me. Although I have lived in the palace for a long time, I also know that you have been weak and sickly since childhood. If there really is a good prescription, I will do my best to find it for you."

"Grandmother, Master Xie is in good health, please don't worry."

Ximen Liu happened to walk in from outside the hall and happened to hear the conversation between the Queen Mother and Xie Changyan, so he smiled and continued.

My senior brother and my cousin are destined to be together, so don't let those rumors mess it up.

What's more, he knew his senior brother's physical condition very well. How could he be considered weak and sickly?

It was obvious that his cultivation was too high, and ordinary doctors found it difficult to detect his true condition.

If it weren't for Jiang Song, Senior Brother would probably have died within a hundred years. Now that the two of them have become connected, Jiang Song is not only Xie Changyan's salvation, but also a helper in his cultivation.

Ximen Liu knew the reason very well, so he naturally had to defend his senior brother to avoid giving the empress dowager a misunderstanding and thinking that Xie Changyan was really a sickly person.

"You kid, why are you butting in when I'm talking to Changyan?" The empress dowager glanced at Ximen Liu with annoyance and pretended to turn her head away and ignore him.

Ximen Liu approached with a playful smile, "Grandmother, please don't be angry. I'm just concerned about Master Xie."

After saying that, he turned to look at Xie Changyan, a sly glint in his eyes, "Master Xie, don't you agree?"

Xie Changyan smiled slightly and nodded, "Your Highness is right. Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern."

The Queen Mother looked at him carefully again and was relieved to see that he looked good.

"Changyan, since A-liu said you are in good health, I am relieved. You and Song'er should be well. I am still looking forward to you giving me a little grandson to hug."

When Jiang Song heard this, her face flushed slightly. She secretly glanced at Xie Changyan and met his smiling eyes.

"Empress Dowager, Song'er is already pregnant." Xie Changyan took over the conversation with a smile, his eyes falling gently on Jiang Song.

This news was like a bomb, instantly causing an uproar in the hall.

After the Queen Mother was astonished, she was filled with ecstasy. She stood up excitedly and held Jiang Song's hand tightly.

"Song'er, is this true? Are you really pregnant?" The Queen Mother's voice trembled, tears glistening in her eyes.

Jiang Song nodded shyly, a happy smile on her face, "Yes, grandma, I am three months pregnant."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She kept repeating "Amitabha" as if to thank the Buddha for his protection.

Ximen Liu was also stunned. He stared at Xie Changyan and Jiang Song with wide eyes, feeling both surprised and happy.

He didn't expect that he would become an uncle so soon. No, should he call him uncle or uncle?

No matter what, we all love this little nephew the same way!

"Great, this is really great!" Ximen Liu finally came to his senses and rubbed his hands excitedly, "Xie brother, congratulations on becoming a father soon!"

Xie Changyan smiled and cupped his hands, "Thank you, Your Highness."

The Queen Mother took Jiang Song's hand and asked with concern, "Song'er, are you feeling unwell? Is the child well behaved? Did he cause you any trouble?"

Jiang Song shook his head gently. "The child is very well behaved. I don't feel too uncomfortable. Don't worry, grandma."

"That's good, that's good." The Queen Mother nodded repeatedly, her face filled with a happy smile. "I'm going to be a great-grandmother. This is truly a great joy!"

She turned to look at Ximen Liu, "Ah Liu, quickly send someone to the Imperial Household Department and have them select some high-quality supplements and fabrics to send to the Princess's residence."

"Yes, Grandmother, I'll do it right away." Ximen Liu responded and turned around to make arrangements.

"Wait." The Queen Mother suddenly stopped him again, "Also, ask the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to choose an auspicious day. I want to pray for the child in Song'er's belly."

Ximen Liu smiled and agreed, "Okay, Grandmother, don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

After saying this, he turned and strode away, his heart filled with joy and anticipation.

The Queen Mother also wanted to invite the imperial physician to the Princess's residence to help Jiang Song with her pregnancy and ensure that she would be safe and sound.

However, Xie Changyan declined the Queen Mother's kindness, saying that his family had hired a trustworthy doctor who would take good care of Jiang Song's health.

In fact, with the medical skills of mortals, it is impossible to guarantee the growth and development of the spiritual fetus carried by Jiang Song. Everything depends on themselves.

However, there is no need to explain these details to the Queen Mother.

After coming out of the palace, Xie Changyan and Jiang Song got on the carriage together and headed for the princess's mansion.

In the carriage, Xie Changyan gently put his arm around Jiang Song's shoulders and said softly, "Song'er, thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Song leaned in his arms, smiled and shook his head, "It's not hard. I'm very happy to be able to have children with you."

Xie Changyan lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "Don't worry, I will do my best to protect you and your child."
