Consort Xiao gave birth to a little Commandery Princess. Although Empress Dowager Wang and Emperor Chu felt somewhat disappointed, considering this was the first grandchild of Emperor Chu, they showed some favoritism to her.
Especially since Prince Xiao brought the child to the Imperial Palace on the third day after her birth to see Emperor Chu, the little Commandery Princess delighted the Emperor greatly, and he personally named her Hui Lan.
Song Ci said to Niu Pan’er and Lin Qing, "In my opinion, this is not enough. Just watch, some auspicious signs will definitely appear somewhere, and then be reported at the Court to the Emperor’s ears."
Niu Pan’er and Lin Qing looked at her.
So certain, have you become a prophet?
"Why are you looking at me like that? Don’t believe me? Prince Xiao, in order to win the Emperor’s favor, will definitely take some actions," Song Ci leisurely took a piece of soft pastry and ate it, saying, "Once the Emperor is pleased, the little Commandery Princess will receive many benefits."
Don’t ask why she is so certain, this is essential palace intrigue tactics. Princes and Ministers vying for power use auspicious omens to win the Emperor’s favor, which is a common tactic on important days. This is not new.
Prince Xiao was the first to have a royal grandchild. If he doesn’t use this tactic, then he’s wasting this script of palace intrigue.
Although there is regret in having a Commandery Princess born right now, as long as the auspicious signs are managed well, regardless of whether she is a little Prince or not, gaining the favor of the big BOSS, the Emperor, would be advantageous.
Niu Pan’er smiled while holding a cup of floral tea, "Mother, you really understand."
"Well, well, I may not be well-educated, but being influenced by your elder uncle, I have a little political perspective." Song Ci used her fingernail as a measure and modestly said.
Lin Qing: "You are uneducated? Outsiders consider you as the Fertility Goddess, and if you hadn’t gone to the Prince Xiao’s Mansion for washing the three, it wouldn’t be easy to leave the Prince Mansion without leaving some Secret Technique."
Song Ci showed a constipated expression, "What Fertility Goddess, it’s complete nonsense. I didn’t teach anyone to give birth, and it’s just that our family had two pregnancies, but whether it’s Jiang clan or Qian’er, they all gave birth to girls? Hehe, Fertility Goddess, if they don’t mind giving birth to girls, they can feel free to ask."
Who knows who is trying to harm her, roasting her on a fire. The rıghtful source is 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥
Lin Qing chuckled lightly, "For women who haven’t conceived for a long time, even having a girl is good."
Having a girl is better than being childless.
"Prince Xiao’s Mansion has a Commandery Princess, now let’s look at Prince Zhou’s Mansion," Niu Pan’er said while stroking the floral patterns on the teacup.
Song Ci lowered her voice and said, "In my opinion, this pregnancy of the Bai clan is very precarious."
Niu Pan’er and Lin Qing’s hearts skipped a beat.
"Mother, be careful with your words."
Song Ci looked around and said, "Let’s talk about it here and leave it here. Don’t you feel it?"
Lin Qing lifted her tea cup and took a sip; she didn’t want to feel it. She pretended to hear nothing.
Niu Pan’er, being pregnant, didn’t dare to think about these things that highly affect karma, so she vaguely said, "In the Imperial Family, for a Prince to be born smoothly and grow up safely, it all relies on luck."
Song Ci gave her a meaningful look.
Not only relying on luck, but also on having great fortune.
Moreover, Consort Bai being high-profile and flamboyant provokes the Official Wife. Just talking about the other families, who isn’t competing to give birth to a royal grandchild?
Prince Zhou’s birth status is already enough, and allowing him to have the first royal grandchild, how could that be acceptable?
Just watch, if Consort Zhou doesn’t make a move, her brothers will all have their own plans.
Oh, venomous and ruthless? Do they even have to target an unborn fetus?
In the Heavenly Family, there are no fathers and sons, only interests take precedence. On the road to contending for the throne, everyone is an enemy, and showing kindness to an enemy is cruelty to oneself!
