Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 546: The eldest daughter-in-law of a wealthy family (68)

Zhao Ying listened for a while, and the voice quickly disappeared.

When Xi'er came in with the fish porridge, Zhao Ying asked, "Is there any happy event outside? Why do I hear the sound of gongs and trumpets?"

Xier paused for a moment before saying, "Madam, today... is the day His Highness marries his wife."

...

The Longxi Li family came from a prominent family. With their noble status and good character, they have always been the only choice for the Crown Princess in the saint's mind.

The day she married into the Eastern Palace was also the day she was canonized as the Crown Princess, and on this day, Li finally saw the popular man who was in front of the saint as others said.

The other party was neither a palace lady nor a court lady, but just a female merchant.

But everyone around her treated her with great respect, even the princess was kind to her.

That night the prince told her that the man was the one who helped the saint ascend the throne, and even he had to show some respect to the man when he met him.

I heard that the saint wanted to keep the other party in the palace, but was rejected by the other party.

The saint was rejected but did not seem angry at all. Instead, he rewarded many people with a lot of land and houses.

The next day, the concubine had to come to offer tea to the Crown Princess, but the Crown Prince's only concubine was still in confinement after giving birth, so the Crown Princess gave Concubine Liang a month's extension.

Before marrying in, the Crown Princess had heard some stories about the Crown Prince's Consort.

Originally, Zhao should have been the prince's wife, but she ruined it herself and was willing to be a concubine in public.

It seems that she really likes Wei Changheng.

Her mother was originally worried about her, but now it seems that there is nothing to be afraid of because her concubine gave birth to a child before her.

Liangdi's mother's family lost the favor of the emperor in the coup and could never cause any trouble again no matter what.

...

A month later, Zhao Ying recovered and it was time for him to move into the East Palace and serve tea to the Crown Princess.

This was the first time Zhao Ying met the Crown Princess. She was two years younger than him, beautiful and dignified.

Looking back at herself, Zhao Ying always felt that she had changed a lot after giving birth. She used to love looking in the mirror, but now she would subconsciously turn her face away when she saw the mirror.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but Wei Changheng rarely came to her yard since she gave birth.

Zhao Ying felt a little confused and a little scared. This feeling was similar to the anxiety she felt when she first entered the Wei Mansion and the teaching nanny was around. She was worried about her future.

Fortunately, the Crown Princess looked very kind, not like the kind of mistress who would make things difficult for others. Knowing that she was weak after giving birth, she also gave her many high-quality medicinal herbs.

The Crown Princess also liked Princess Yihe very much. She often came to Zhao Ying's yard to visit little Yihe, and every time she came, she would bring some small toys that the baby liked.

After a month, Zhao Ying had only seen Wei Changheng a few times, but he became more familiar with the Crown Princess.

Just when Zhao Ying thought that life would pass slowly, the Crown Princess was found to be pregnant.

Wei Changheng was very happy. The couple had just been newlyweds, and having a child brought them closer together.

Zhao Ying was gradually neglected.

The Eastern Palace is not like the Wei Mansion before. You can't enter and leave the palace as you please. If you are bored on weekdays, you can only go for a stroll in the Imperial Garden.

But the palace rules are strict within the high walls, and if you are not careful, you will break the rules, so it is better to stay in the house.

Xier, the personal maid, clearly felt that Zhao Ying's temperament was becoming more and more dull. She stayed in the yard all day and did not go out, and she spoke less and less.

It was a sunny day, and Xier finally persuaded Zhao Ying to go for a stroll in the Imperial Garden. While feeding the fish by the koi pond, she happened to hear a conversation coming from behind the rockery.

I heard that it was the Crown Princess and her maid talking.

"Your Majesty is so lucky! She's pregnant right after entering the palace, and we don't know if it's a boy or a girl. If she has a boy, your position will be even more secure."

The Crown Princess said proudly, "It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl."

"It's better if the first child is a boy, otherwise there will be two little princesses in the palace all of a sudden."

"So what? No matter how cute Yihe is, she's just a concubine's daughter. How can she compare to my child?"

"..."

The voices of conversation gradually faded away. Xier looked at Zhao Ying with a worried look on her face, fearing that Zhao Ying would jump out and slap her in the face.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ying sat calmly on the stone bench.

Xier hesitated for a moment and comforted her: "Madam, the princess is always the princess. His Majesty and the Crown Prince both love the princess very much. You don't have to pay too much attention to what the Crown Princess said..."

Zhao Ying simply threw all the fish food in his hand into the pond, stood up and said, "I'm tired, let's go back."

Xier was very worried, but Zhao Ying didn't say anything along the way. When he returned to the yard, he just went into the house silently.

Xier thought that Zhao Ying didn't take this matter to heart, but she didn't know that Zhao Ying didn't sleep the whole night.

Her mind kept replaying what the Crown Princess had said during the day.

Her daughter is a concubine's daughter.

As long as she is a concubine, her children will be illegitimate children for life.

Zhao Ying suddenly regretted it.

In the past, she felt that love could satisfy her hunger. She loved Wei Changheng so much that she was willing to be his concubine just to be with him.

But the result was a hard slap in her face.

Zhao Ying could not accept that his child was born out of wedlock.

Zhao Ying was determined to do something big.

...

This was the time Zhao Ying was most patient.

She waited for four months until the Crown Princess completely let down her guard against her and drank the bowl of red date soup she had given her.

The child was miscarried, and I heard that the Crown Princess was injured and will never be able to get pregnant again in this life.

Upon hearing the news, Zhao Ying laughed foolishly in prison.

Zhao Ying was eventually sentenced to death, with the choice of poisoned wine, dagger, or white silk.

Before dying, Zhao Ying prayed to see Wei Changheng for the last time.

Since Wei Changheng was unwilling to come, Zhao Ying refused to die.

There was no way, Wei Changheng came anyway.

Through the railings, in the dim candlelight, Zhao Ying saw the deep hatred and disgust in Wei Changheng's eyes.

"Wei Changheng... do you hate me?"

Zhao Ying smiled foolishly: "You said before that you only loved me, how long has it been since then..."

Wei Changheng was already fed up with her.

"I didn't know you were such a vicious woman then!"

As much as I loved Zhao Ying's innocence and brightness in the past, I now hate the evil hidden under her innocence.

Perhaps from the moment she instructed Chu Yuexiang to kill Shen Qingxia in prison, he should have known that Zhao Ying was not as simple as she seemed.

"The Crown Princess treated you well, yet you could be so cruel."

Wei Changheng's cold gaze hurt Zhao Ying.

"If it weren't for Shen Qingxia, I should be your Crown Princess!" Zhao Ying burst into tears: "When you were in love with the Crown Princess, did you ever think of me?"

"Ever since I gave birth to Yihe, you've only been to my courtyard a handful of times! I'm even forced to listen to her talk about your relationship when I pay her my respects!"

As he spoke, Zhao Ying laughed fiercely, as if he was crazy.

"She said my child was born out of wedlock, so I'll make sure she never gives birth to a legitimate child!"
