She married a dying prince and she won three babies.
Chapter 181 The Prince Drowns His Sorrows in Alcohol
The nights in August are as chilly as water.
Mid-Autumn Festival is just five days away, and the moon has already begun to move westward.
The prince did not take the wine glass, but drank directly from the spout of the kettle.
"An Yi, do you think my father is even dumber than me?" The prince was already a little tipsy.
"The old prince is a hero in the hearts of the people." Of course, An Yi could not answer according to the prince's wishes.
"He made me lose my mother when I was young, and I was raised by a wet nurse. I was required to practice martial arts from a young age, and I was not allowed to slack off in the slightest.
No one cares about me when I am in pain and suffering.
In fact, this prince really envies my second brother for having a mother who loves him. Even though she spoiled him, my second brother lives a much more carefree life."
Under the influence of alcohol, the prince vented what had been in his heart for many years.
"Your Highness, you are the head of the Shangguan family, and the Rong Palace is the guardian in the hearts of the people of the entire Wei Dynasty." When An Yi mentioned the prince's responsibilities, he meant that he could not afford to make any mistakes.
"Yes, it is this responsibility and honor that has allowed people who shouldn't have entered the backyards of my father and me."
An Yi didn't know what to say and remained silent.
The prince continued to blow into the spout of the kettle.
Until the pot of wine is empty.
The prince stood up, feeling a little dizzy.
It had been a long time since he had drunk so much. It had also been a long time since he had been drunk.
An Yi immediately supported him.
"My Lord, the princess is waiting for you."
Yes, he has his beloved wife, who is still alive and well and is pregnant with his child.
He wants to protect the mother of his child.
Just because his father is useless doesn't mean he is useless too.
At this moment, the prince thanked Yu Yuanzheng again in his heart.
Ziqi married a good wife.
Otherwise, how could he have the chance to have a son in his old age?
Ziqi was also cured of his crime after being plotted against. All this happened because Ziqi's wife entered the palace.
It just so happened that the Yong'an Earl's Mansion arranged for her to be remarried to her eldest son.
This marriage is a good one!
The second son is not as capable as the eldest son.
His martial arts skills were far behind, and he started learning about troop deployment too late.
He was so bold that he was actually designed to marry two wives by a little trick.
He now understood that his second son must have been involved in the exchange marriage.
The prince staggered across the roof for two meters, came to the roof of their bedroom, and gently lifted two tiles.
Sure enough, the princess left a night light for him. Afraid that he wouldn't be able to see it when he came back, she left one on in the corner without blowing it out.
This warmth flowed into his heart.
Looking inside the curtain again, the princess was already fast asleep, lying on her side with her high belly facing right, just to the outside of where he was lying.
"An Yi, help me down. I need to protect my wife and children." The prince hadn't drunk so much alcohol in a long time and was a little unsteady on his feet.
It was the time twenty years ago when he was framed and drank too much. Since then, he has never drunk more than two taels of wine.
And tonight he broke his vow.
"Tomorrow I will go to the ancestral hall and give my father a good scolding. He is a useless man." The prince burped, and a smell of alcohol came out.
"No, I can't disturb the princess. She will definitely smell that I'm drunk." The prince changed his mind again, "Please help me go to the study to sleep."
An Yi obediently helped the prince to the study in the outer courtyard.
The third master noticed the prince's abnormal behavior.
He hid behind a tree and watched the prince drinking on the roof. He also knew that the prince had not drunk like this for a long time, and he was drinking alone.
Something must have happened.
But he didn't dare to place anyone in the palace, because the secret guards and bodyguards of the entire palace could only be managed by the prince of each generation.
So he didn't know what was going on.
The next day, the prince went to the Shangguan family's ancestral hall as he had said. Looking at the tablets of his ancestors, the prince respectfully lit incense, then sat directly in front of the old prince's tablet and scolded him.
The prince did not keep this action secret, and the second and third ladies soon knew about it.
When the second old lady found out, she started to feel uneasy.
Of course, no one heard what the prince and the old prince said.
But his behavior made her feel a little uneasy.
He was asked to report what had happened to the old prince, and it took him half an hour to report.
The third old lady, considering that the prince drank to relieve his sorrow last night, guessed that the old prince must have done something, which he only found out now, causing the prince to go to his father to complain.
"Zhe'er, what did the prince find out?" The third old lady couldn't understand.
"I can't guess it either, but it is very likely related to my father or stepmother." The third master guessed in this direction.
"It seems Jiang Qingqing has dirty hands. When I entered the palace, she made things difficult for me in many ways. She also talked to your father many times, hoping that he would promote her to be the consort.
Your father was not foolish enough to agree. This way, the palace would only have one legitimate son, and there would be no quarrels among brothers.
I just don’t know what Jiang Qingqing did to the princess back then. It would be great if we could get evidence of this.”
"Son, please check it out. It's just that it happened so long ago. I hope we can find it." The third master agreed with his mother's guess.
"Ah."
The Mid-Autumn Festival soon arrived.
The princess is about to give birth, so she definitely cannot enter the palace.
The prince refused to enter the palace on the grounds that he had to take care of the princess.
But the palace cannot be without representatives.
Shangguan Zishu was called back by the prince and brought his family into the palace.
Shangguan Ziqi and Yu Yuanzheng are also going.
Before leaving, they told Ding Hui Niang and her mother-in-law to take good care of the child.
Ever since Yu Chaoyang apologized to Yu Yuanzheng, she believed that Yu Yuanzheng had forgiven her, and she always wanted to get close to Yu Yuanzheng intentionally or unintentionally.
The Nanhua County Lady also believed that she had no conflicts with Yu Yuanzheng, and from time to time she would humble herself and make friends with Yu Yuanzheng.
But Yu Yuanzheng was polite and distant to both of them.
At most, they would just say some polite words. After all, they were sisters-in-law and lived in the same house. It was impossible not to talk to each other, nor was it possible to avoid each other.
As a court official and a descendant of Prince Rong's Mansion, the third master could of course enter the palace.
Although the prince was the leader, it was actually the third master who led the team.
The rules have been changed again this year. Instead of separating men and women, families will sit together again.
There was a woman sitting on each side of Shangguan Zishu.
The two of them were trying hard to talk to Shangguan Zishu.
Ever since Yu Chaoyang's miscarriage, Shangguan Zishu seemed to have suddenly become sensible and was not as gentle to the Lady of Nanhua County as imagined.
Instead, he took better care of Yu Chaoyang.
He always believed Yu Chaoyang's words that the fetus was killed by someone.
Only Nanhua has this ability, and she can make it impossible for anyone to find out. Such a woman scares him and makes him retreat.
On the contrary, Yu Chaoyang made him feel more at ease. She didn't have such deep scheming and means.
Their original exchange marriage required cooperation from several parties, but Nanhua's marriage was accomplished with just a small design.
He has grown a lot in the past few months.
He understood what his father meant, but it was too late.
The bitter fruit had been reaped and he had to swallow it.
Now he just wants to become a qualified heir to the Rong Palace as soon as possible.
Over the past year, he realized how difficult it was to be a qualified prince.
The Lady of Nanhua County had been married into the palace for nine months, but after Shangguan Zishu had sex with her during the first half of the wedding month, he never entered her room again.
In fact, he only returned to the palace once during the Dragon Boat Festival, and today was his second time.
Under the table, the Lady of Nanhua County wanted to hold Guan Zishu's hand, but he avoided her.
Yu Chaoyang was sitting next to them and of course saw their little movements.
