Chapter 1700 Buried in the Heart (asking for guaranteed monthly ticket)
"Orb..."
The wife of Prince An was embarrassed and said, "Even if you want to adopt a little princess, it's not a good idea to find someone from the side branches of the palace. There is no such rule."
The Eighth Lady asked, "Then what are the rules for adoption?"
"This is divided into close and distant relatives. If you want to adopt a daughter, you can only find one from your uncles' families. If it is inconvenient, then find one from a farther family, even a cousin. There is no reason to choose someone arbitrarily..." said the wife of Prince An.
The Eighth Lady heard this and was puzzled.
"But of the three adopted daughters of Emperor Shizu, only one is a niece, one is a cousin, and the remaining one is even more distant..."
The Princess Duanmin mentioned here is the great-granddaughter of Prince Heshuozhuang Shurhaci, and has several levels of relationship with the royal family.
The wife of Prince An shook her head.
"It's different. Princess Duanmin is the niece of the Queen Mother. Her maternal family is Khorchin, and there is also this relationship."
The one chosen was not only the royal family's adopted daughter, but also the empress's adopted daughter.
The Eighth Lady bit her lip.
Among my uncles and aunts, is there any orphan who has lost her mother?
Every family has a legitimate wife. Even if the biological mother is gone, there is still a legitimate mother, so it is not her turn to adopt.
The Eighth Lady's longing was not met, and she felt very uncomfortable. She said, "Aunt..."
The wife of Prince An said, "Adopting a daughter of the clan involves too many things. If you want to raise a little girl to relieve your boredom, you can find someone from the family of the bannermen..."
At this point, she paused and said, "Or maybe there is a little princess of the right age in Guo Luoluo's family. She is your niece and you can get close to her..."
The Eighth Lady had no brothers from the same mother, but she had two half-brothers, both of whom were married and had children.
In this case, there is no adoption involved, just bringing the child into the Prince's Mansion for foster care.
The Beile Mansion is so big that it can support not only a little girl, but even ten or eight people.
The Eighth Lady was not interested and asked, "What will it be like if it is raised? Will it be a servant or a master?"
Especially there is a male owner in the mansion who has many wives and concubines but cannot have children.
If she raised a girl from her own family, or the niece of Guo Luoluo, others might think that she was a new princess prepared for the Eighth Prince.
That's just disgusting.
The wife of Prince An hesitated for a moment and said what was in her mind.
"If you really want a child, 'surrogacy' is the best way. Find a girl who looks like she's suitable for having a child, no matter if it's a bastard's son or a bastard's daughter. Bring her up with you and raise her. No one can find fault with her."
In the imperial edicts of the royal family, there were many wives without legitimate sons, and most of them lived a good life.
If her mother's family was not good enough, she might have to swallow her anger, but the Eighth Lady had the Prince's Mansion behind her, so if she really wanted to raise a bastard son, she wouldn't dare to make a fuss.
The Eighth Lady sneered and pointed in the direction of the main courtyard.
"It has been seven or eight years since the Emperor gave her a princess in the thirty-fourth year. In the past few years, she could put the blame on me for not having a child, saying that she did this and that for me. But if we count from the time of our wedding, it has already been five years..."
"I heard that he started to believe in Taoism, but I guess it's just a cover. I think it's probably a good idea to find a recipe for having a child from it..."
There has been a lot of speculation in recent years about whether the Eighth Prince can have children.
The wife of Prince An also knew most of it.
She said, "If there really was a shortcoming, the emperor would have arranged for the imperial physician to treat it long ago. It's just that the fate of having children came late."
The Eighth Lady looked at Prince An's Lady and said confidently, "Earlier there was still a glimmer of hope, but now it's hard to say."
Upon hearing this, Princess An's face changed and she immediately looked towards the door.
Because the Eighth Lady wanted to have a private conversation with Prince An's wife, no one was left in the room.
"what have you done?"
The wife of Prince An had cold sweat on her back, her face was pale, and her voice was trembling.
If this pair of princes were found out, it would be something that the Eighth Lady could not bear on her own.
The Eighth Lady looked at her and said calmly, "It's better for my aunt not to know."
Prince An's wife: "..."
Her lips trembled and she couldn't speak.
The Eighth Lady curled her lips.
She just wanted to "emulate the virtuous" and also flipped through the Materia Medica.
Then she saw the words "mercury, when made into pills with Scutellaria baicalensis, can prevent pregnancy" under the mercury, so she tried it on the Eighth Prince.
Of course, it is not made into pills directly. The Eighth Prince is not a fool. How could he take unfamiliar medicine casually?
It's just a little trick that requires a little more effort.
All the pity that Mrs. An had in her heart had disappeared.
She looked at the Eighth Lady, held her arm, and pleaded with her.
"I know nothing, and Fu Jin didn't do anything either. I beg you, Aunt, please keep it to yourself, don't think about it, don't mention it..."
The emperor will be furious, and the royal palace will be reduced to dust.
Because Prince An's wife used too much force, the Eighth Wife's body shook.
The wife of Prince An shed tears.
She was really scared.
The Eighth Lady pursed her lips, took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears of Prince An's wife.
"Please, Madam Fu, remember the old prince, remember the prince, and be well in the future..."
The wife of Prince An didn't expect that she was so bold that she actually dared to attack the Eighth Prince, and a look of sadness appeared on her face.
The Eighth Lady nodded and said, "I can't even leave the yard, what else can I do? Aunt, don't be afraid..."
The wife of Prince An touched her chest and it took her a while to calm down.
Not only did she ask the Eighth Lady to keep it a secret, she also planned to keep it a secret herself.
She didn't even plan to tell Prince An, for fear that the matter would be kept secret and the news would leak out.
This is not only a royal scandal, but also a huge disaster for Prince An's Mansion.
The wife of Prince An stayed in the west wing for half an hour. When she came out, her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was droopy.
She was already tired of the Eighth Concubine, but she was still affectionate and affectionate in front of the Eighth Concubine. This was because she knew that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, and now the Eighth Concubine was barefoot.
You can imagine how stuffy it feels.
Fu Cha got the news and came out to see the guests off.
The wife of Prince An was originally dissatisfied with the Eighth Wife's "recuperation" position, and thought that she should clean the yard in the east wing.
It would be awkward for the principal wife to live in the west courtyard and the concubine to live in the east courtyard.
Right now, she didn't have the energy to think about all these things, nor did she want to dwell on this matter any further.
She looked at Fucha and became more kind.
"Your wife is not in good health, please take care of her on weekdays."
Fu Cha said honestly: "The prince values Fu Jin, and usually the prince personally takes care of the affairs of the West Courtyard."
Prince An's wife listened and knew that this was a smart man.
However, in order to reassure the Eighth Lady, she continued speaking.
"As for food, clothing and daily expenses, you don't have to worry about it because the Eighth Master is watching over them. But the courtyard is deserted. If there are clever and sensible children among the bondservants, you can pick a few young ones and go over to see if your wife wants them."
The maids that came with the Eighth Concubine's dowry were either driven out or arranged to be married off over the years, and the maids around her have changed several times.
Fu Cha said, "After we ask our master, we will select people according to your instructions."
Reluctant to take one more step.
Princess An nodded.
It's better this way, as well-behaved people won't give the Eighth Lady a reason to go crazy.
When they reached the front, the Eighth Prince also came out to see the guests off.
When Princess An's wife looked at the Eighth Prince, she felt furious.
It’s five points of fault for the Eighth Concubine to have come to this point today, and the other five points are because of the Eighth Prince!
It's retribution!
She thought happily in her heart.
The Eighth Prince noticed the coldness of An Jun Wang's wife and said, "It's my fault that I didn't take good care of her. I have to trouble you to worry about me."
He was not surprised that Prince An's wife had red and swollen eyes.
If he didn't really love the Eighth Concubine, he wouldn't have spoiled her like this.
It can be regarded as self-inflicted.
There was the Eighth Lady between these two people, and they had similar thoughts.
Prince An's wife glanced at him and said, "I won't say much else. Just remember that husband and wife are one. She is your dignity..."
The Eighth Prince found this boring.
How can the couple still have any dignity now?
Now, it has become a dilemma.
Or we need to find a way to break the impasse...
*
The carriage from Prince An's Mansion left the Eighth Prince's Mansion and passed by the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
At the gate of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, a carriage was about to come out and the two sides were about to meet.
Seeing that it was the carriage ordered by the Prince's wife, Shushu asked people to make way.
Since the prince was conferred a title, according to the rules, he should act according to the rank of his title when he was outside.
When An Jun Wang's wife heard the noise, she lifted the carriage curtain, looked at the carriage on the side of the road, and asked hesitantly, "Is it Ninth Wife?"
Shushu heard the noise, lifted the carriage curtain, saw that it was the wife of Prince An, bowed and said, "Aunt, it's me..."
Prince An's wife was surprised and asked, "Isn't the emperor still on a northern tour? Why are you back now?"
If the emperor were to bring the empress dowager back to the capital, it would cause a big commotion.
All the kings of the royal family will go to welcome the emperor.
Shushu smiled and said, "My niece-in-law was feeling unwell, so she didn't follow the emperor after he left the Rehe Palace. She came back first with the Fifth Princess."
The road was not a place for talking, so Prince An's wife said a few words, nodded, lowered the curtain, and ordered the carriage to move forward.
Shushu waited until the carriage reached the street corner and was about to turn before asking people to follow.
Today, she is going back to the Dutong Mansion.
Tomorrow is the fifth day of the New Year, and I have to go to the palace to pay my respects to Concubine Yi
When children go on a long journey, the ones who are most worried are their parents.
Shu Shuxie did not even have time to rest. After picking up the Fengsheng brothers and bringing them back home, he asked someone to prepare a carriage so that he could go back to the Dutong Mansion before entering the palace.
Shushu had a good impression of Prince An's wife.
The men from the Tong family seem a little artificial, but the women from the Tong family give people a gentle and soft feeling.
Shushu did not try to find out the purpose of Prince An's wife's visit, as she was thinking about her mother's family.
Fusong’s wedding is in September. I wonder if Zhuliang has chosen a date for her wedding.
Is it before the New Year or after the New Year?
Anyway, there will be two weddings held in the Dutong Mansion in the next six months.
This is just the beginning. Xiaosan and Xiaosi will be seventeen next year. It goes by so fast.
Here at the Dutong Mansion, Qi Xi and Jueluo were already waiting.
Shushu arrived at the Prince's Mansion yesterday afternoon and sent someone to tell him that he would be back this morning.
The couple had received a letter from Shushu and knew that she was pregnant again, so they were worried about her...
