MTL - Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress-Chapter 759 Holding hands and seeing each other but not knowing each other (19)
Zhao Xuan has always doted on Meng, but Xie Xian'er is not as resentful as ordinary women. She is not difficult for Meng, but she is not allowed to have children.
Not only for the Meng family, but also for all the concubines in the Empress Zhao Xuan's house, Xie Xian'er was not allowed to have children. It seemed that a bowl of water was flat, so no matter how dissatisfied the Meng family was, she could not find any reason.
Xie had one child after another. Five years after marrying into Prince Yong's palace, she gave birth to four sons one after another.
The position of the imperial concubine can be said to be unbreakable.
Looking at her sons who were all lively and vigorous, Mrs. Xie felt so happy in her heart. Grandma came in from outside and whispered in Mr. Xie's ear: "I heard that Mrs. Meng had a quarrel with the Crown Prince again this morning. It was quite serious. , just destroyed the house."
Xie ordered the wet nurses to take her sons down, and said with a cold snort: "It seems that she is almost in good health again this time, so she has the energy to work hard again."
"She hanged herself and drank poison. She died countless times. The doctor said that the foundation of her body has been damaged. I'm afraid she won't be able to get pregnant again in the future if she doesn't drink the antiseptic soup."
"Then the shelter soup cannot stop." Mrs. Xie fiddled with the jade bracelet in her hand, raised her eyes to look at Grandma, and replied: "Grandma, please don't soften your heart just because she seeks death and survival again and again. Do you still remember , Tian’s tricks back then, huh, even my imperial grandfather ordered her to be executed, and it wasn’t because of my mother’s temporary soft-heartedness that she was lucky enough to survive. In the end, we, mother and son, were the ones who suffered the most.”
When Xie Xian'er said this, grandma immediately came back to her senses and said repeatedly: "Don't worry, young lady, I will definitely continue to keep a close eye on you."
Xie Xian'er nodded and warned: "As long as the prince stays at her place, I will give her the soup early the next morning, and you must watch her drink it with your own eyes."
As she spoke, she smiled disdainfully and continued: "Right now, she is so noisy without a child. Once she gives birth to a child and has hope, she may not know what she will be worried about."
"What the eldest lady said is true. I'm afraid that if this continues, the prince will have objections. In the first few years, he said that now that you have given birth to four children, you still don't allow concubines to have children. It's a bit unreasonable."
Xie Xian'er waved her hands and said: "It doesn't matter, as long as mother-in-law doesn't say anything, no matter what others do, they can't change the world. As for the prince, I have my own way to shut him up. Isn't it just crying and making trouble?" Who doesn’t know how to act?”
Regarding this point, Mammy has confidence in her master. In the years since she married into Prince Yong's Mansion, although Zhao Xuan has always doted on Meng, he has still been manipulated by his own girl.
Another five years passed, and Meng, who even the doctors had concluded would not have any more children, miraculously became pregnant. Although Xie Xian'er was angry, she did not use privacy methods to deal with her. When she was pregnant, she relied on the flesh and blood in her belly to fight for her favor in every possible way, even hurting the child. In the end, she completely damaged her body. Gradually, Zhao Xuan also lost interest in her.
During this period, the imperial power in the court changed. The new emperor Li Ling was iron-blooded. Within a few years of taking office, he removed the vassals and unified the imperial power. Then, he vigorously weakened the power of the princes.
The dignitaries who were once at the top of power underwent a harsh baptism, and many princes who were reluctant to give up their positions had their homes confiscated. Their former glory was instantly wiped out in the face of imperial power.
Zhao Xuan, who had been living in a heap of brocades, was so frightened that he couldn't even sleep sometimes.
But Prince Yong's Mansion survived this baptism. In fact, thanks to Xie Xian'er's hard work, Prince Yong's Mansion actually got a higher honor.
This time, the frightened Zhao Xuan had to look at his wife with admiration.
Within a few years, Prince Yong and his wife passed away one after another, and Zhao Xuan inherited the title. As a wealthy prince, he seemed to be quite popular with saints. He was not demoted as usual and still inherited the honor of the prince.
Those who don’t know the inside story say that Zhao Xuan is a wise man and a fool will try to trick him. Only he knows in his heart that this is all the fault of his wife. His wife has a close friendship with the Queen, but the Queen is the only weakness of the saint.
She relied on the strength of her wife.
Zhao Xuan was secretly happy. Fortunately, he had followed his parents' orders and married this powerful daughter of the Xie family. Meng's illness was caused by the torment during pregnancy. In the second year after Zhao Xuan inherited the title of king, Xiangxiaoyu died. Xie Xian'er gave her daughter to Zhao Xuan's other concubine to raise.
When her sweetheart left, Mrs. Xie took pity on Zhao Xuan. In order to relieve his pain, she even chose a beautiful girl for him.
On this day, Zhao Xuanzheng and Mr. Xie were sitting in the house chatting after dinner. Mr. Xie's personal maid slowly entered with a beautiful female concubine.
Mrs. Xie glanced at the two beauties, then turned to her husband and said, "I know that Mrs. Meng has gone and you are lonely, so I chose a beauty to serve you."
Hearing this, Zhao Xuan glanced at the female concubine. His wife had indeed put a lot of thought into it, and the faces of these two people were actually 60-70% similar to the late Meng.
But for some reason, Zhao Xuan became heartbroken because of his wife's behavior.
He waved his hand and pushed the female concubine down, and said with a gloomy face: "Princess, I'm sorry, I don't need it."
Xie was confused and asked: "What's the matter? Did it touch my heart? I'm really sorry. I had good intentions and wanted to find an acquaintance to comfort you, but I didn't expect that it made you sad instead."
Zhao Xuan raised his eyes and stared at his wife, and blurted out: "Xie Xian'er, you and I have been married for more than ten years. Do you love me or not?"
She had been married to him for so many years, and he had always been in love with Meng in his heart. In the end, he came to question her about this question.
Love or not love, she really never seems to care about it.
She asked in return: "Then did the prince ever love me?"
Zhao Xuan fell silent after hearing this. Xie thought it touched his affection again and made him miss Meng. She was about to stand up and leave, but Zhao Xuan raised his hand and held her firmly.
He looked at her and said frankly: "You asked me if I have ever loved you. Of course I did. I know you always thought that I loved Meng. This is true. I did love her from the bottom of my heart. , but I don’t know when, but my thoughts about her have actually faded away.”
Seeing his wife's perfunctory look of disbelief, Zhao Xuan asked anxiously: "You don't believe what I say?"
Having been married to him for so many years, Zhao Xuan often swore an oath of love to her. To be honest, Mr.
This time, she still won’t take it seriously.
She is already a noble princess, with two children and endless wealth and glory. No one can shake her status. As for those loves, she never cared about them before, and now, she doesn't care even more.
Seeing that Zhao Xuan was anxious, Mrs. Xie hurriedly pretended to be serious and said perfunctorily: "Believe it, I believe it. How can I not believe it?"
Zhao Xuan looked at his wife and continued: "Let's put it this way, although I am sad that Meng is gone, I will be able to live as usual before long. If I lost you, I would not be able to survive."
After hearing her husband's words, Xie's thoughts changed for the first time.
