Chapter 188

These days have been like a nightmare to Zhu Xing'er.

She seemed to have fallen into an endless hell.

She used to be the daughter of the high and mighty Ning Wang Mansion, but after the Qiuyue Banquet, she became the sinner of the entire family.

Her grandfather, who loved her the most, wanted to send her to a nunnery.

Unfortunately, she was already pregnant.

She must get married at this time.

If she had not been deceived by Ye Ling's brother, how could she have brought Ye Ling into the palace.

In fact, Zhu Xing'er has always known that it would be impossible for her to marry into a wealthy family of the same level as the Ning'an Palace.

Because I am very afraid of her.

She attended royal banquets because she wanted to marry into a family as wealthy as hers.

She didn't want to be looked down upon and suppressed after getting married.

Aunt Zhu Rong is a good example.

Although she married her true love, everyone in the whole capital city laughed at her!
She didn't want to marry a fool like this who only knew how to talk about the luxurious life of the nobles every day.

It is also because of this that Zhu Xing'er has never married.

Normally a girl should get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen.

She is eighteen, but still unmarried.

Until she met Ye Ling's brother, she was instantly fascinated by him. Although this man's status was a little lower, he liked to eat good food, wear good clothes, and use good things. His ideas were the same as hers, completely different from Lu Yuan's father. He was also a talented man with great talents.

It was precisely because of this that Zhu Xing'er gave herself to him, waiting for him to pass the imperial examination next year and enter the officialdom, and then he would marry her.

I just never thought that it was all a conspiracy.

Now that I'm pregnant again, I'll be laughed at if I have an abortion.

Her life was truly ruined.

So her mother decided to let her take a gamble and marry Xuan Yi, hoping that the child could still be kept.

The rumor that Xuan Yi had difficulty in having offspring was not uncommon.

What's more, her mother handled the matter personally and used secret medicine.

That night, she deliberately used medicine to anger Xuan Yi. Only when she was extremely angry could she ignore some details.

Fortunately, the man was a monster, but his child was strong.

The baby in her belly was still there and never aborted.

Xuan Yi has now promised her to rest assured and take care of her pregnancy. If she gives birth to a boy, she will be the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace.

Pig hair is dead, but people like wool and dog hair are still alive.

At that time, this will be the most direct evidence, which can be used to directly dismiss Xu Chunhua.

Zhu Xing'er also hoped very much that this was a boy.

Now, her mother can come to the East Palace to visit her at any time.

The relationship between the Crown Prince and Prince Ning'an has eased somewhat.

My mother has already reached an agreement with the late Crown Princess that any child born into the Ning'an Palace must be a legitimate son.

If Zhu Xing'er's son is a legitimate son.

By then, the prince will fully support Xuan Yi.

Even if Prince Ning'an is unwilling, the Crown Prince can ask the Princess to negotiate with him.

The Ning'an Palace will definitely side with the Eastern Palace.

This is also why Xuan Yi forgave Zhu Xing'er.

First, everyone knew that Zhu Xing'er was implicated. Second, because Xu Chunhua's performance was so poor, there was actually no noble lady willing to marry Xuan Yi as a concubine. Most of them were concubines, with Zhu Xing'er being the only legitimate daughter.

After all, Zhu Xing'er grew up accepting various etiquette norms and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Zhu Xing'er certainly wouldn't dare to compare with her previous gentleness.

But now Zhu Xing'er is very confident about her gentleness. She feels that she is a thousand times stronger than the other party.

Zhu Xing'er tried her best to please Xuan Yi and was very gentle and submissive, because she felt guilty and she knew that the child was not Xuan Yi's.

In addition, all her honor and disgrace now depend on Xuan Yi. As long as Xuan Yi is well, she will be well.

Although she didn't like Xuan Yi before, she has to like him now.

Only when you lose something, you will realize how precious it was.

Zhu Xing'er only now understood that power and wealth are the things a woman cannot lose the most.

Although she was deceived, this was her best chance.

As long as her child is a boy, she will be able to become the most noble woman in the world, and it is possible for her to be the mother of the country.

Because she doesn't love him, Zhu Xing'er treats Xuan Yi's concubine very well.

She knew very well that these women had all been fed contraceptive soup by Xu Chunhua, which had ruined their bodies, making it extremely difficult for them to get pregnant. What's more, Xuan Yi also had health problems and it was difficult for him to have children, so it was impossible for these women to get pregnant.

So Zhu Xing'er deliberately won over these people. First of all, she promoted these women to Fengyi, the lowest-ranking concubine of the prince.

But this does have grades, and it can be considered the ninth grade.

Then they are not maids anymore, and they don't have to be called by those terrible names like wool and dog hair, and they can also change back to their real names.

When serving, you no longer need to drink contraceptive soup which is harmful to your body.

This action can be said to have pulled these women from hell to the human world.

Moreover, with the rank, you can also ask someone to send some money to your family.

All the people Zhu Xing'er picked were those who had families. Only with families did they have concerns and could be of use to her.

It was also because of this that the two women she carried up were very loyal to Zhu Xing'er.

They also made their positions clear and were willing to help deal with Xu Chunhua.

However, Zhu Xing'er did not take action against Xu Chunhua because she knew very well how much Xuan Yi valued his offspring.

As long as Xu Chunhua gives birth to a child, Xuan Yi will ignore Xu Chunhua.

The former Crown Princess directly hinted to Zhu Xing'er that if Xu Chunhua gave birth to a boy, she would raise him under her name and the position of Crown Princess would definitely be hers.

But this cannot be said explicitly.

But Zhu Xing'er understood the hint of the former Crown Princess.

The nanny beside Xu Chunhua was the former Crown Princess's person. If she gave birth to a daughter, their children would be swapped.

Xuan Yi needs the support of Ning'an Palace.

Therefore, the fewer people who know about this, the better.

Zhu Xing'er didn't even tell her mother, the Crown Prince's Consort.

She was also worried that the Crown Prince's wife would be unwilling to help once she knew that the child did not have the bloodline of the Ning'an Palace.

After all, King Ning'an's attitude is still very unclear.

So it is best to keep this matter secret.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Xing'er has never dealt with Xu Chunhua. Instead, she was very considerate and asked others not to deal with Xu Chunhua.

Although Zhu Xing'er also hopes that she will give birth to a boy, how can she be sure of this? She is just afraid of the unexpected.

With Xu Chunhua, there is one more opportunity.

She must become the Crown Princess and let those who have been mocking her recently take a good look.

Zhu Xing'er could see that the former Crown Princess hated Xu Chunhua extremely.
