Chapter 166 You Should Live Well
I just watched the sky getting brighter outside and the sunlight coming in inch by inch. I got up, washed up, and placed a few plates of exquisite pastries, a plate of tofu skin buns, and a bowl of millet porridge on the table. After the first three months of my pregnancy, my appetite suddenly increased.
It was the first time I ate a meat-filled bun without any scruples. I felt better instantly. Qin Xian was also very happy to see me eating happily: "Princess, can you eat meat today?"
I nodded and took another mouthful of millet porridge. The sweet and fragrant porridge slid into my throat, soothing my entire stomach and making me feel warm.
"Well, I haven't had such a good appetite in a long time." What's even more amazing is that I didn't want to vomit at all. Instead, I felt the meat was very delicious.
I ate two buns, and Xiaohui came over and said, "Princess, I heard from Yunyin that Miss Shen wants to see you."
I wiped my mouth with a handkerchief and asked, "Shen Tingwan?"
"Well, Princess, you better not meet her. She used to be pretty crazy."
At this moment, the emperor is seriously ill. Does she come to me for some purpose?
Yun Hance and Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion are already in a cooperative relationship. If I don't meet him, will they have any opinions about Yun Hance? After all, Yun Hance doesn't have as many soldiers and horses as them in the capital, and I don't want any accidents to happen.
So I told Xiaohui: "Go and ask Miss Shen to come in."
I thought about it and stood up again: "I'll go myself."
Xiao Hui followed behind and said reluctantly: "You are the princess, and she almost killed you before, and now you are going to greet her in person."
"Before, it was before. At this time, A Ce needs Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. Besides, although she almost hurt me at the beginning, what will she do later?"
Xiaohui stopped talking.
I walked to the door. Shen Tingwan was wearing a light pink dress. Her face was rosy and shiny, with a plum blossom between her eyebrows. It seemed that she was indeed living a good life.
The moment she saw me, she bowed respectfully. I held her back and said, "Sister Shen, you shouldn't be so polite."
Shen Tingwan was somewhat flattered and asked, "Why did the princess come out specially to greet me?"
I took her hand and walked inside: "I'm back in Beijing, and I don't have any friends to hang out with. No matter how old the noble ladies are, they all think I'm of low status and vulgar behavior, and they disdain to associate with me. Only Sister Shen doesn't despise me."
Shen Tingwan looked at me, seeming a little surprised. How could I not be surprised too? I used to hate saying polite words, but I had to say them at this moment.
Shen Tingwan used to be paranoid and crazy, but now he has become gentler.
"Ranran, can I call you that?"
I was very happy to have a closer relationship with her: "Of course, I will call you Sister Wan."
Shen Tingwan looked at me, and suddenly felt a little sad: "That year, if it weren't for you, I would have been sent to the Dali Temple, and maybe I wouldn't have seen her retribution."
I knew who she was talking about, and I smiled brightly: "Sister Wan, why bother about the past? Apart from her, you will only get better and better in the future. If Sister Wan doesn't dislike me, you can come to play with me often in the future."
Shen Tingwan seemed to have a worried look on her face, but I didn't ask her any more questions, so I smiled and said, "Sister, you came so early, can you have breakfast?"
Shen Tingwan shook his head, looking a little absent-minded. I immediately and quietly told Xiaohui beside me to prepare breakfast.
"If it weren't for the prince, how could I have avenged my blood feud? When I heard that she was killed by the prince in the street, I really couldn't control myself. I cried and laughed with joy, like a madman."
I saw that she was not in a good condition, so I pulled her sleeve and said, "Sister Wan, I understand your pain. It will get better and better. Let's go have breakfast first."
Shen Tingwan suddenly turned around and stared at me. I felt a little scared. Her eyes were very dangerous, as if she was ready to attack me at any time.
"Ranran, there are some things in this world that you can never forget. I envy you very much. Although you don't have a prominent family background and have been insulted and ridiculed since childhood, you have a brother and parents who love you. If my mother had given me a brother, I wouldn't be alone all my life."
I wanted to comfort her, but I felt that all words were powerless.
"Ziran was indeed good to me, but he was just a bastard in the family. How could bastards not be bullied? It's ridiculous that I, Shen Tingwan, was a legitimate daughter in my mother's family, but was bullied by my stepmother. After I got married, I was bullied by legitimate sons and daughters again."
I bit my lip and seemed to see despair in her eyes.
"I don't want to live like this anymore."
As soon as she said this, I was shocked and couldn't help but comfort her: "Sister Wan, wait until the matter in the capital is settled, and there will be an answer to everything. Then you can live separately from your husband."
Shen Tingwan's lips moved: "Maybe there will be no future."
I don't know what she meant by this: "With A Ce and Ding Yuan Hou joining forces, it's still unclear who will win. Why are you so depressed, sister?"
Shen Tingwan didn't say anything after all. When we sat down to eat, Shen Tingwan started to cry while eating.
I handed her the handkerchief and asked, "Sister, what's wrong?"
She took a sip of porridge and said, "Ranran, both you and the prince have been very kind to me. I came here today to tell you that Marquis Dingyuan will not stand on the side of the prince."
I looked at her in shock. How credible were Shen Tingwan's words? If Dingyuan Houfu really didn't intend to stand on Ace's side, then why did Dingyuan Houfu pretend to be on good terms with Ace?
Shen Tingwan stood up and said, "At the beginning, they agreed to stand on the side of the prince just to deliberately provoke Prince Yongping, because Prince Yongping did not consider him when he tried to win over Prince Zhenbei. Marquis Dingyuan felt very ashamed, so he pretended to join forces with the prince. As expected, Prince Yongping would not watch Marquis Dingyuan stand on the side of the prince, so Prince Yongping agreed that as long as Prince Yongping successfully ascended the throne, Marquis Dingyuan could be granted the title of prince, on an equal footing with Prince Zhenbei, and the daughter of Marquis Dingyuan could be allowed to enter the palace as the queen."
This passage really shocked me. It's fine if Marquis Dingyuan is a fence-sitter, but he also has such a plan. Prince Yongping has already married Liu Qingqing as his princess, and he has also promised Marquis Dingyuan's daughter the position of queen.
If what Shen Tingwan said is credible, then Prince Yongping has already known that Liu Qingqing is A Ce's person, and is trying to take advantage of the situation and get rid of Liu Qingqing afterwards, so wouldn't the position of Queen be vacant?
Shen Tingwan looked at me and said, "Princess, if you don't believe what I said, I have nothing to say. They did a thorough job on this matter. Not to mention the evidence, even these things were overheard by Ziran accidentally. If Ziran hadn't run fast, I'm afraid he would have lost his life."
I smiled awkwardly: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this matter is of great importance. Sister Wan came to tell us today, and she must want us to be fully prepared."
The spring breeze blew gently, and Shen Tingwan's hair danced in the wind: "You and the prince have both done me a favor, I won't harm you, I just hope that you can live well and Ziran won't be bullied."
I felt her words were strange, like her last words. I couldn't bear it and said, "We will all be fine. If you still care about your husband, you should live well."
Shen Tingwan smiled indifferently. I think she probably wouldn't listen.
