She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

This person was none other than the third prince, Cao Jinshen, born to the second old lady’s daughter, Concubine Wanshu.

She is seventeen years old this year and still lives in the palace.

The dynasty stipulated that the prince could leave the palace and set up his own household after he turned eighteen or married a concubine.

"There's no need to be so polite, Third Prince." The prince simply said this.

"My cousin's wife has come to the mansion. This prince has never met her before, so she came to say hello." The third prince looked at Yu Yuanzheng and said.

"Greetings, Third Prince." Since he came specially to greet her, Yu Yuanzheng had no choice but to stand up and bow to him.

"I didn't expect that my cousin's sister-in-law is such a good musician. Mother asked me to ask her if she has any other music besides the three songs she just played. She wants to ask you for one or two and learn to play them for father." The third prince was straightforward.

But should she agree to this request?

Even the Queen didn't mention it. The Queen just asked the palace musician to learn the song that had just been played and perform it for everyone to see at the palace banquet later.

But the Concubine Shu was used to win favor.

Yu Yuanzheng didn't know Concubine Wan Shu. Was she the same as the Second Old Lady, or did she know her limits?

"Mother?" Yu Yuanzheng called the princess softly.

"If you have one, give me one. If not, forget it." The princess said lightly.

Yu Yuanzheng understood and decided to just give him a perfunctory song.

"Write down everything you know and send it to Concubine Shu in the palace." The second old lady said in a firm and commanding tone.

Yu Yuanzheng didn't respond.

"No, no, just three or five poems will be enough." The third prince said with a smile, not wanting to force anything.

Three or five more songs? She didn't want to give any of them.

Not familiar.

Yu Yuanzheng always felt somewhat repulsed by the Third Prince.

The feeling he gave her was completely different from that of the eldest prince.

The eldest prince gives people the impression of a modest gentleman, gentle and kind, but also wise and sunny.

The Third Prince gave her the feeling of a poisonous snake living in the dark. Although he had a smile on his face, it seemed that the smile did not reach his eyes.

Even though it was the first time the two princes met her, they still had this preconceived feeling.

Yu Yuanzheng was in even greater difficulty. The other party was a prince, and although she was his cousin-in-law, her status certainly could not be compared with that of a prince.

"Just give her a song. Zheng'er doesn't know how to write music, so I will help her write it." The princess took over.

She saw her daughter-in-law's dilemma.

"Cousin, are you okay?" the third prince asked with concern.

"Same as always." The princess replied calmly.

"Third Prince, come and sit here. Let's have a good chat." The second old lady became anxious when she saw her grandson talking to the eldest wife's family.

As soon as she entered the palace and met the Empress Dowager and the Queen, she went to the Shufei Palace, but she didn't see her own grandson, who was the hope of their second family.

No, it is the hope of the entire palace.

The third prince only got that table, but he just said a few symbolic words to the second old lady and left.

He simply looked down on the ignorant Second Old Lady. If it weren't for the fact that his mother was born to her, he would have ignored her at all.

The banquet ended at 4 p.m.

"Mother, is this how we celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival every year?" Yu Yuanzheng asked the princess on the way back.

"No, there was no palace banquet last year. Instead, the emperor personally took civil and military officials to watch the dragon boat race outside the city."

"Oh, I was wondering. It turns out the program is different every year."

"But most of the time it's a palace banquet."

After returning to the palace, the princess started to get busy again. The banquet in the palace was over, and a family banquet was to be held.

The Shangguan family also has a large population.

In addition to the five direct branches, there are also other side branches. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, the royal palace invites several elders from the clan to gather at the palace.

The prince does not serve as the clan leader, he only inherits the throne.

Yu Yuanzheng went back to her room to change her clothes first, then came out to greet the guests who came one after another with the princess.

Shangguan Zishu and Yu Chaoyang also came. Shangguan Zishu gave some instructions and went to the gate to receive the guests with the prince.

But Yu Yuanzheng always felt that Yu Chaoyang looked at her from time to time with a strange look in his eyes.

Yu Yuanzheng avoided her and followed the princess closely.

Maybe there was something that she didn't know but Yu Chaoyang knew.

there is always a solution to a problem.

At this time, a servant from the outer courtyard slowly walked over, leading an old man.

The princess immediately stepped forward to support him.

"Chaoyang, Yuanzheng, this is the one you call Grandma Hong. She is the wife of the head of our Shangguan family." The princess introduced the two new brides.

The person who came was an old woman in her seventies. She looked in good health and had no hunchback.

They both called out in unison.

But why was she holding hands with a three-year-old child?

Yu Yuanzheng didn't understand.

"Is this Lin Ge'er? I saw him when he was one year old. He has grown up so much now." The princess smiled and teased the child held by the Hong clan grandmother.

"Yes, call the princess grandma." Grandma Hong pushed her great-grandson towards the princess.

The child kept hiding behind, not daring to come forward, and was a little shy.

"The child is shy, so Aunt Hong doesn't have to take it too seriously. Please take a seat in the main hall. Chaoyang, help your Aunt Hong into the inner hall." The princess ordered.

As Grandma Hong entered the hall, another old woman came in with a child.

The princess introduced the two new brides with a smile.

In this way, a total of ten elders from the tribe came, each holding a child, and all of them were boys.

The oldest is five years old and the youngest has just learned to walk.

Yu Yuanzheng felt very strange.

But I can't tell.

But Yu Chaoyang always looked at her with a half-smile.

When everyone was present, the prince and Shangguan Zishu led ten elderly or middle-aged people of varying ages to the main hall.

The princess then introduced them to the two new brides.

It turned out that they were all uncles or grandfathers in the clan.

But I don’t know how many generations of the clan they are, and two of them are out of the fifth generation.

The Wei Dynasty had been established for over 170 years, but the Rong Palace was established about a hundred years earlier when the third generation of the Shangguan family won the title of "iron hat king" on the battlefield.

As for that history, no one told Yu Yuanzheng, so she didn't know.

I only found out about this in the past month.

Everyone sit down.

"Your Highness, I heard that on the day you appointed Zishu as the crown prince, you announced that Ziqi would get 40% of the family fortune in the future?" The clan leader, Old Master Hong, asked directly.

"Yes." The prince admitted frankly.

"Is there any possibility that Ziqi will wake up?" Patriarch Hong asked again.

Everyone else listened with their ears perked up, afraid of missing anything.

"Doctor Gu said that the possibility of waking up is very slim, but I am still asking among the people where there are more skilled doctors." The prince spoke the truth.

"So there is no hope?" The elder of the Hong clan shook his head, feeling a little melancholy.

"Ziqi is my legitimate son. No matter what happens to him, as his father, I will spare no effort to protect him." The prince expressed his attitude with a dignified look on his face.

"If Ziqi really can't wake up, what are you going to do?"

"What do you mean?" The prince was stunned, his voice mixed with anger and confusion.

"What do you mean? If Ziqi can't wake up, we can't let him go without a reason, right? He is the only legitimate son of our Shangguan family."
