111 The heart is insufficient
Du Mingyan had long known that Deng Wenjiao was not a good person, but when she heard Chen Ting and Du Mingxin's questions and answers, she was shocked.
When she first entered the door, Chen Ting promised that she would ask for a side concubine once she was pregnant. Now she is in her first three months, and the fetus is very stable, but when she went to ask Chen Ting, he excused himself and said that he would give birth to a son before asking for a seal.
Du Mingyan was helpless, so she spent money to invite five or six stable women into the palace to come and see, and they all said that she had a round belly, and eight or nine times out of ten she was pregnant with a daughter.
Think about Princess Ning's two sisters-in-law, and the eldest son is already enlightened and studying. I gave birth to this money-losing goods, who knows when I will get pregnant again? When she gives birth to her son, Princess Ning's eldest son is afraid that she will start saying goodbye!
The more Du Mingyan thought about it, the more restless she felt, but she couldn't do anything. entered the Ning Palace's palace as a concubine, although it was also because she was desperate at the time, which was the last straw. However, didn't she have the idea of seeking wealth in her heart? Compared with other concubines in the palace, she felt that her background was a lot higher, and she wanted to trample Du Ming's heart under her feet, so her heart gradually became bigger and bigger.
But she never thought about the difference between the concubines, all she remembered was how her father loved her when she was a child, how Aunt Liu saw the scenery in the inner house, and how the mother and daughter threw Du Mingxin to the Zhuangzi in the countryside. But I forgot to think about it, not to mention that Aunt Liu was just a washerman before she died, she is now a maidservant, and Du Mingxin has an uncle who is a prince. Just look at the entire capital, which housewife is willing to go to the same concubine? Which family has straightened out the concubine to be the main house?
About a month ago, Chen Ting suddenly became very enthusiastic about her. By virtue of her pregnancy, she sent clothes and medicinal herbs to her house at a high price. Princess Ning didn't say anything, but exempted her from the morning and dusk twice a day, only saying that the prince's heirs were important, and she was exempted from all the false gifts that could be avoided.
Du Mingyan thought that there was hope for inviting Concubine Feng again, but one night Chen Ting came back drunk, but he looked at her stupidly, saying that it would be good if he met him first......
Du Mingyan was surprised and delighted, and softly saved Chen Ting's words. When she heard that Chen Ting wanted to get rid of the princess and straighten her up, Du Mingyan was so excited that her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
Listening to Chen Ting's heavy breathing, Du Mingyan thought about it all night. She and Deng Wenjiao both thought of attacking Princess Ning. Since the prince said that he can't divorce his wife, let her die!
After this thought came out, it was like a wildfire that burned all over the mountains, making Du Mingyan deeply trapped in it and unable to extricate herself.
But she didn't bring a penny of dowry into the palace, everything was given by Chen Ting, she still had to save money herself, how could she have spare money to buy people's hearts on weekdays? So after thinking about it, she couldn't find someone who could help her get poison.
But last night, Chen Ting helped her solve this problem. The bag of candied fruit, the sparkling winter melon strips, the yellow preserved fruits, and the greasy yokan......
"The twists and turns in the middle, have you figured it out?" Du Mingxin saw that Du Mingyan's face was cloudy and silent for a while, and knew that she had woken up a little.
Deng Wenjiao often ran to Ning Wang's Mansion before, and Du Mingyan also thought about this possibility, but she quickly denied it. The eyes of the Anguo Mansion are above the top, how can it be possible to let the granddaughter of the in-laws go to continue Chen Ting's chord? If you want to marry a prince, isn't there a king of Yu who is the same age?
But if what Du Mingxin said is true...... Du Mingyan shuddered, it was better to keep Princess Ning and be the side concubine herself! At least Princess Ning is kind-hearted and tolerant, as long as it doesn't involve her two sons, Princess Ning has always been very talkative.
Du Mingyan's gaze swept towards Du Mingxin's face, it had been almost half a year since King Jin went on the expedition, and her face was not haggard, but more plumper. The eyes are clear, the cheeks are rosy, and the face is blessed.
Du Mingyan felt awkward in her heart again, you are pregnant and I am pregnant, why can you hold the shelf so calmly and leisurely, and I am nested in this kind of place, with only a stupid girl less than twelve years old waiting by my side?
Thinking about the sweet dream that Ting Chen gave her, the dream of being a princess, Du Mingyan became even more impetuous. What if Du Mingxin is lying to himself?
Looking at Du Mingyan's flickering eyes, Du Mingxin sighed. Many people, just because of the difference in their positions, have become ambiguous about things that were originally clear and clear.
"If Chen Ting really wants to straighten you out," Du Ming said patiently, "How could you let you live in such a place while pregnant?" There is a huge Ning Wangfu, is there no place to raise a baby for you? In a prince's mansion, there are hundreds of servants, why don't you even give you a few diligent and steady maids? ”
"Deng Wenjiao used to be just a nodding friend with Princess Ning, and she didn't have much contact with Chen Ting, why did she come to King Ning's mansion so diligently recently? She is a woman who has not been allowed to marry, Princess Ning is sick, just come to visit once. Why did she stay with Chen Ting in the main room, and kept saying that she wanted to put the cause of Princess Ning's illness on you and her father? ”
"Du Mingyan, there is a grudge between you and me, and I am here this time for my father, for the Du Mansion, and for the face of the Jin Palace. As for you, those who are self-reliant will always stand up, and those who help themselves will be helped by God. If you don't want to understand anymore, let Chen Ting and Deng Wenjiao deduct the charge of murdering the housemother on your head, and let them count Du Fu as your accomplice, and you want to go in the end! ”
"Don't say that you can't climb up to the position of the princess, you first think about whether the child in your belly can be saved? Will you be able to save your own life? ”
The more Du Mingyan listened, the more ugly her face became, she suddenly grabbed the arm of the little maid beside her, and said in a trembling voice: "Go, you go and find the prince, I have something to ask him!" ”
The little maid listened to it in a daze for a long time, and now she felt that the taste was coming, so she cried "wow".
"Auntie, let me go, I don't understand anything, I don't know anything, don't let me die!" She cried and knelt on the ground and kowtowed frantically.
"Something that can't be put on the table!" Du Mingyan was even more annoyed by her crying, so she kicked her when she raised her leg and scolded, "Get out of here!" ”
The little maid ran out with a roll, but when she reached the door, she trembled and called "Lord Wang".
"My aunt is pregnant, what kind of system are you yelling and screaming like this? Pull it to the firewood room and ask someone to teach the rules well! Chen Ting shouted.
When he walked in, the maid behind him came in with two plates of dim sum and put them in Du Mingxin's hand.
Chen Ting said with a smile: "The family is in a mess, and there is nothing to prepare in a hurry, so my younger siblings will use some." ”
