Sheng Qingqian stood up immediately. Imperial edict?
Wen Tingyun was a scholar who hadn't yet passed the imperial examinations. His Majesty was issuing an imperial decree to him at this time? There was only one possible explanation for this decree.
The thing she had been waiting for for so long finally came?
She quickly straightened her clothes and said, "Auntie, Big Sister, I have some important matters to attend to at home, so I'll be leaving first."
"Hey..." Aunt Liu reached out to grab Sheng Qingqian, but Sheng Qingqian had already run a long distance and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Aunt Liu frowned, remembering what Sheng Qingqian had said before, and recalling Sheng Qingqian's previous mention that Wen Tingyun was the emperor's son, she felt something in her heart: "Imperial edict? Why would His Majesty issue an edict to Wen Tingyun?"
Nanny Jin smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes: "I just returned to the palace and heard a few things."
"Wen Tingyun's mother originally served the Empress. I heard that more than ten years ago, before being released from the palace, Wen Tingyun's mother was favored."
"Before leaving the palace, she discovered she was pregnant."
"But Wen Tingyun's mother was worried that this matter would be known to others. She was of low status and could not protect the child."
"So she concealed the matter, was banished from the palace, and quickly found a husband to marry, in order to conceal her pregnancy out of wedlock."
"Wen Tingyun was originally the son of His Majesty."
Aunt Liu tightened her handkerchief, and it was indeed so.
But she still tried to act stunned: "What? This... How is this possible?"
Nanny Jin's eyes were indifferent. "This is the truth. When Wen Tingyun got into trouble this time, the wife of the Wen family thought someone knew Wen Tingyun's identity and dared not hide it any longer. She hurriedly sent someone to the palace to ask for this decree, asking His Majesty to recognize Wen Tingyun. According to age, Wen Tingyun ranks seventh and becomes the Seventh Prince."
Nanny Jin looked at Aunt Liu and said, "Judging from your daughter's reaction just now, she probably knows about this."
"Why? She didn't tell you?"
"No..." Aunt Liu quickly shook her head: "Even the Wen family may not have told her such a big secret."
She was afraid that if Nanny Jin pressed her further, she would reveal her true intentions, so she looked at Sheng Nanzhi for help: "Nanzhi, you..."
But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Sheng Nanzhi: "Auntie just said that Third Sister was married off to a poor scholar and suffered injustice in the Wen family. Seeing that I became the princess and was pregnant, she became jealous and caused such a scene for me, ruining my reputation?"
"If, as Nanny Jin guessed, she already knew that Wen Tingyun was actually the prince, then where did this jealousy come from?"
"She also married a prince."
"And the husband she married is at least alive and kicking. But my husband is lying there unconscious."
"What is she jealous of me for?"
"I think Third Sister just doesn't like me and is bullying me on purpose, right?"
Sheng Nanzhi lowered her head, looking aggrieved.
Sheng Qingqian caused such a scene that she almost ruined Concubine Liu's reputation, but Concubine Liu kept speaking for her. So, does it really mean that the crying child gets the candy?
It’s not that she doesn’t know how to cry.
"My aunt seems to be living a good life now, but it's just because I was lucky. I had a one-night stand with Prince Yi, was forced to drink two bowls of contraceptive soup, and was poisoned, but somehow I still got pregnant with his child."
"If it weren't for this child, Prince Yi would have been lying there unconscious. Even though he was His Majesty's most beloved son, as his coma lasted longer, he would have been forgotten by His Majesty and everyone else sooner or later."
"When that happens, I, a princess in name only, will have a very hard time."
"Speaking of which, I still envy my third sister more."
"At least, Third Sister's husband is fine."
"Besides, Third Sister is now the prince's consort. Although she isn't pregnant yet, Wen Tingyun is alive and well, and they're newlyweds, so she'll get pregnant sooner or later."
"Wen Tingyun is your Majesty's son who was abandoned among the common people for so many years. Now that he has finally been recognized, he will surely show his favor to you continuously."
"Third sister, you will surely enjoy prosperity and wealth in the future."
Sheng Nanzhi sighed, "I just hope Third Sister won't bully me like this anymore. I didn't do anything wrong. I've been suffering on the farm for over a decade, and even after returning to the Sheng Mansion, I wasn't welcomed. I finally got married, and it's still like this..."
Seeing Sheng Nanzhi's tearful expression, Concubine Liu swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue and said hastily, "No, I've already told her. Your third sister has realized her mistake."
"If she bullies you again, I will never forgive her."
Sheng Nanzhi wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded: "I still have to congratulate Auntie. Third sister has become the prince's consort. Her future is definitely limitless. Third sister has always been filial. If she lives a good life, she will definitely be filial to Auntie."
"Besides, both of my aunt's daughters have married the princes, so her life in the Sheng Mansion will be easier in the future."
This is true.
Aunt Liu's mind moved slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up: "Yes, we will, and we will all get better slowly. Don't worry, you are all my daughters, and I will naturally not favor one over the other. If there is nothing else, then I will leave first."
Sheng Nanzhi nodded: "Okay."
Seeing Aunt Liu also hurriedly leave, Sheng Nanzhi pursed her lips and sneered secretly.
Sheng Qingqian should be...very proud now.
Unfortunately, she won't let her be proud for too long.
soon.
……
A little later, Sheng Nanzhi learned the content of the imperial edict, which was not much different from that in his previous life. He recognized Wen Tingyun as the seventh prince and granted him the seventh prince's mansion.
But there was no mention of Du Qiyu, who gave birth to Wen Tingyun.
It was because of this in the previous life that everyone speculated that His Majesty recognized Wen Tingyun because he was of royal blood and could not be left outside, so he had to recognize him.
In fact, Du Qiyu disliked her for hiding the existence of Wen Tingyun.
Otherwise, it would be natural to give Du Qiyu a position and then bring her into the palace.
But His Majesty did not do so, which made Du Qiyu's situation very embarrassing.
Sheng Nanzhi lowered her eyes. She had experienced everything that happened in her previous life, so she knew it all.
The emperor's move was precisely to protect Du Qiyu.
Du Qiyu was originally the queen's personal maid, but she became pregnant with Wen Tingyun under the queen's nose, and she concealed the fact and took Wen Tingyun out of the palace.
If Du Qiyu really entered the palace, the queen would not let her go easily.
The emperor deliberately did not mention Du Qiyu, so Du Qiyu could only live in the Seventh Prince's Mansion as his biological mother. At that time, the entire Seventh Prince's Mansion would be under her control.
The emperor would keep sending things to the Seventh Prince's mansion on the pretext that the Seventh Prince was suffering outside and should be comforted.
Du Qiyu's life in the Seventh Prince's Mansion is much better than when she entered the palace.
But Sheng Nanzhi just didn't want to think about it because her life was too easy.
