NOVEL WEB Chapter 592 The old clam grows pearls
Xu Muhua sent Concubine Zhang out of the palace and left her alone. She had already told the three brothers of the Feng family everything that needed to be done, and believed that they could make arrangements. As for Concubine Zhang, she was not a naive person. She was going to leave and start a new life under a new identity, so she must have been prepared.
If she left the palace without any preparation, it would be her own choice how she would live her life. She was her friend, not her mother.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Grand Princess is back!" Wu'er walked in quickly, holding a letter in her hand, "Your Majesty, this is a letter from the Princess's Mansion."
Xu Muhua was immediately delighted when he heard this and reached out to take the letter. "Finally they're back. I was wondering how long it would take for them to arrive."
The eldest princess was traveling, and the emperor was seriously ill, so the royal family would definitely send a message to tell her. They had to rush back for reasons of both morality and reason, and for both public and private reasons. She also sent a message to them privately, telling them what was happening in the palace.
If you think about it, she hasn't seen her stepmother and her family for a long time, and she doesn't know what changes her stepmother would have after being away for so long.
The eldest princess is now the eldest princess. As soon as she returned to Beijing, she went to the palace immediately. She first went to pay her respects to the deceased emperor, cried for a while, and then paid her respects to the new emperor.
Finally, I got some time to arrive at the palace where Xu Muhua currently lives - the Yanxi Palace.
When the Grand Princess saw Xu Muhua, she looked her over carefully and nodded, "It seems like you are living well in the palace. I am relieved."
"Don't worry about me, stepmother. I can live well no matter where I am. But stepmother, I am always worried that you are not used to being outside."
When the eldest princess mentioned this, the sadness on her face was finally replaced by a hint of vitality, and her voice became a little higher, "At first, I was a little uncomfortable. You know, I have always lived in the capital, and the farthest place I have been is Jinling, but it is just a change of place to live."
"Every aspect of this trip is different from before. I was a little uncomfortable at first. But later I was able to appreciate the fun. That is the kind of fun that I could never experience in the capital, no matter how rich, prosperous, or comfortable my life was!"
No matter how good it is to be in the capital, you are still trapped in this small world and have no idea what the outside world is like.
She followed the Prince Consort and Hong'er and saw mountains and ridges that she had never seen before, or even imagined, flowing rivers, terrifying abysses, and vast plains and grasslands...
Every time she went to a place, she would be amazed and amazed for a long time, thinking that this trip was worth her life! And she had her favorite person by her side.
It's just that her body is really weak, especially recently. I don't know if it's because she was in a hurry to return to Beijing, and after knowing the news about her royal brother, she was in a heavy mood, so she also felt unwell.
Xu Muhua nodded: "Yes, the world outside is so wonderful. It would be a pity not to go out and take a look."
The eldest princess looked at her and opened her mouth, seeming to want to say something but stopped herself.
She knew that Mu Hua had never thought of entering the palace, but unfortunately she was trapped here now and was afraid that she would never have the chance to go out.
At this point, she didn't say anything to spoil the fun.
The eldest princess sat down and talked with Xu Muhua about their family of three's traveling life over the past year.
As they chatted, Xu Muhua started gossiping again, "Stepmother, do you and stepfather have any ideas for arranging the marriage of my stepbrother?"
Mentioning this, the eldest princess would sigh, "What idea do I have? I came back for his marriage and future. But then so many things happened, and there was no chance. Plus, he's out now, how can I find him?"
"Didn't you meet anyone you like along the way? Or are you planning to find a partner for your brother in the capital?"
The Grand Princess paused and said, "I haven't thought about it. I just think it's better to find one in the capital. After all, we are all from the capital and we will come back sooner or later."
I can't travel all my life. If I come back one day, the wife Hong'er marries is not from Beijing, but from a long way away. Besides, it's not easy to talk about marriage, I can't just settle the marriage halfway.
"My stepmother will stay in the capital for a while when she comes back this time, so that she can look for someone suitable for my stepbrother. My stepbrother is not young anymore, it's time for him to get married."
If Ling Hongge heard her say this, he would definitely roll his eyes at her.
The Grand Princess actually had the same idea, "Yes, that's exactly what I was planning."
The Grand Princess sat in the Yanx Palace for a while, chatted with Xu Muhua, and then left.
After all, it is still a period of national mourning, and she is the eldest princess who has just returned. It would be easy to be criticized if she stayed in the palace of the new emperor's concubine for too long.
The funeral of the late emperor was complicated and lengthy, with endless things to do every day.
The late emperor had only two or three concubines in his harem. Now, no matter their status or rank, they are all busy every day.
Two days later, the eldest princess suddenly fainted while kneeling in front of the spirit!
This scared everyone!
She was quickly placed in a nearby hall and an imperial physician was called in.
Who would have thought that when the imperial physician arrived and took the patient's pulse, what he said would shock everyone!
"The eldest princess is pregnant, and it has been more than two months! This time she fainted because she was overworked, and her fetus was disturbed. She needs to rest well from now on and not overwork herself, otherwise the fetus will be in danger!"
The eldest princess had just woken up in a daze and when she heard the imperial physician's words, she was stunned and didn't react for a long time!
Who, who is pregnant?
She looked at the people standing around with blank eyes.
The first one to come back to her senses was Xu Muhua. She sat down on the bed, holding the eldest princess' hand and said happily: "Mother, you are pregnant! The doctor said it has been more than two months! Because you have been overworked recently and have not rested well, you fainted. As long as you rest well, you will be fine!"
I really didn’t expect that after so many years, the eldest princess and her husband are going to have a child again!
"What? I...you said I...am pregnant? How is this possible? I'm so old!" The Grand Princess was stunned.
She's old enough to be a grandmother!
Isn't this a case of an old clam giving birth to a pearl? If this gets out, people will laugh to death!
The eldest princess never thought that she would get pregnant at this age!
So now I am really shocked by this news! I am a little overwhelmed!
