Song Wan raised his head, hugged Shen Qianyu and softly comforted him.
In the gentle words of her beloved, Shen Qianyu was finally able to let go of the past and no longer worried about gains and losses, always fearing that Song Wan would not see him.
The two whispered under the candlelight and told each other about their one-night stand. Although they were not in bed together, they felt more intimate.
When the night turned white, Shen Qianyu put Song Wan in his arms and put him to sleep. After putting the person down carefully, he quietly walked out of Changle Palace and went to court.
When Song Wan stood up and had already passed the time, Heng Zhi came forward to help her change her clothes and cleanse her face.
"I slept so late, why didn't you call me?"
Heng Zhi said: "The Holy Master came forward and ordered the slaves not to disturb the queen's rest."
Passing the handkerchief soaked in warm water to Song Wan, Heng Zhi asked Luan Jian to bring the meal.
"The medicinal porridge that has been simmered all night, please use some of it."
Song Wan nodded, took the spoon and took a few mouthfuls.
"Have you told the government about my pregnancy?"
Seeing Heng Zhi shaking her head, Song Wan asked someone to write a letter to Ming Xiang, telling him that she was pregnant.
After receiving the news, Mingxiang was so happy that she held Grandma Song's hand and laughed for a long time.
"Mammy was so happy that her eyes were red."
"It would be nice if...Miss."
In the past, Grandma Song had a serious face and rarely showed any emotions. Mingxiang did not expect that she would have such a big reaction when she heard that Song Wan was pregnant.
Nanny Song pressed the corners of her eyes, seeming to remember something. After a moment, she smiled lightly and said, "Young lady, I never expected that young lady would marry into the palace."
Who would have thought? Who would have thought that the marriage that the young lady had worked so hard to arrange for the young lady would have such an outcome.
If the young lady knew that the Chengyang Hou Mansion had not cherished the daughter she had worked so hard to give birth to, I am afraid she would not let Jiang Xingjian go, nor the entire Hou Mansion. But now it's all in the past, and it's not worth mentioning again.
Thinking of Su Yi and Song Lan'an, Grandma Song couldn't help crying.
"Wan'er is pregnant, and I am very happy to be my sister-in-law. But since the family is still in the mourning period, we don't have to eat and drink. This month, each person will be given an extra 50%25 of the silver."
Ming Xiang said: "It doesn't matter what the reason is. I just want to reward everyone in the house after seeing everyone's hard work."
"Hey, I know this."
Nanny Song turned around to deal with it, but it was settled within a moment.
Everyone in the house has grown up, including Qiushui around Song Yao, Yinsu around Song Nian, and even Tanzhu who was later transferred to serve Mrs. Song. Although the family did not say where this joy came from, Song Nian heard that Yinsu said that someone had come to the palace before, and he guessed that it was related to Song Wan.
She smiled lightly: "Eldest sister is pregnant, I don't know whether she is a prince or a princess."
Yinsu said: "Young lady is so smart, she knows it right away."
"The Holy Spirit values the eldest sister. No one in the harem dares to compete with the eldest sister. There is no need to hide her pregnancy for fear of being tampered with. Only when my sister-in-law is happy will she give everyone more money, but after all, she is still young enough to yell out loud. "
It was precisely because of this that she guessed that Song Wan was pregnant.
The eldest sister is pregnant. If the baby is a prince, then the Song family's status will be secure. Song Nian slightly curled his lips, feeling happy for his father.
"If father knew, he would be happy."
Yinsu nodded, agreeing very much with what her young lady said.
"Miss, Madam calls you over."
Zhu Ye walked in from outside and told Mrs. Song that she was looking for Song Nian. Song Nian lowered his eyes after hearing the words, and after a while he said: "I know, I'll go now."
Her mother had been depressed for a while since her father's death.
Not only did he lock himself in his room for dozens of days without talking, he even hurt his eyes from crying. Originally, Song Yao felt a little resigned to his fate after her last instruction, but by chance, his mother said that she was fine and walked out of the house.
Now that Song Yao saw that his mother was getting better, he had the idea of breaking off the engagement.
Looking at Mrs. Song, who had sunken cheeks and a dull expression but continued to comfort Song Yao, Song Yao let out a long sigh and stood by the door without moving forward.
"Nian'er, what are you doing standing there? Come in and let mother take a look."
"Nian'er is fine, mother, don't worry."
Song Yao turned his head aside when he heard this, not looking at Song Yao.
"I heard from Yao'er that you get along well with the seventeenth son of the Ming family. How does he treat you?"
"I can't say we get along, but we just had some contact during the New Year after we got married, and nothing else."
Mrs. Song smiled lightly when she heard this: "That's good."
"Now that mother has cheered up, why don't you take over the reins of the family as soon as possible? Now that my father has passed away, my mother is the old lady in the family. You are still here. How can there be any reason to let your daughter-in-law take charge of the family?"
"My father used to have a life, but now that he is gone, my mother can't just let us be oppressed."
Song Yao was a little anxious: "The eldest sister is a queen. She has a flawed background and will not let her brother bully her mother. She and her brother still want this reputation of filial piety."
"My brother will ascend to a high position in the future, and he will never dare to bear the name of unfilial piety. Mother..."
"Just for my sake, you should cheer up."
If the mother is not the mistress of the house, how can she interact with other mistresses? Now that my sister-in-law is in charge of the family, how can she really care about them?
More importantly, if the mother does not become the mistress, who will cancel the marriage for her? Looking for a higher door again?
Song Yao has been ill for a few days, and now she can use her father's mourning period as an excuse. But if her father's mourning period passes, she will marry into such a poor family.
After the emperor ascended the throne, he began to attach great importance to the British public Ming Huaxin. The Ming family became more and more noble, and even Ming Shiqi, who was a side branch, was also rising with the tide.
But only the Qi family was made worse and worse.
She was pampered and pampered by her mother all her life. Now Song Wan, who was supposed to be a widow, has turned into a noble queen. Song Nian has also married into a high family. She is the only one who wants to marry someone who has no title. People who don’t have money and want a future have no future.
How could she be willing to do this?
Song Yao stared at Mrs. Song with a pair of tearful eyes: "Mother, cheer up quickly, hold the middle child in your hands, and make more plans for the three of us siblings. What's the point of spending all day huddled in the room like this? Woolen cloth?"
Song Nian stood aside without saying a word, just lowering her head and listening quietly, as if everything had nothing to do with her.
"Yo'er, my mother can't take over the leadership of the family."
Mrs. Song looked at the top of the curtain and said in a deep tone: "Your father has never thought about handing over the gift to me since I married into the Song Dynasty. From the first day I married into the Song Dynasty, he has You're guarding me."
"He was afraid that I would treat Song Fu and Song Wan harshly, so even though he gave me the cards and the keys to the warehouse in the mansion, the one who makes the decision in the mansion has always been Grandma Song."
After marrying into the Song Dynasty for so many years, she failed to cultivate her own confidants. In the past, she only thought that Su Yi was very capable. After ten years of death, he could still make the servants in the mansion bow their heads and only recognize her as their master.
But during this period of time, she finally had to admit that it was Song Lan'an who approved of the matter of Nanny Song taking charge of the family.
He has never believed her, and has even been guarding against her for more than ten years.
