Chapter 403: It is truly abominable

"Then would the Crown Prince be willing?"

"Hmm, it's he himself who doesn't know how to cherish, he himself who wants to be an ungrateful wretch. If it weren't for the in-laws, he would be nothing but a crippled prince in the harem. To have today is all thanks to the in-laws. Not knowing how to treat Ling'er well, it is truly abominable."

"Sigh~"

The Golden Dragon Guard was silent for a long time before continuing.

"The Fu Princess Consort has gone into seclusion."

"Hmm, the stronger she is, the stronger our Ming Dynasty will be. When she comes out of seclusion, I plan to raise their status again."

"Ah? It's already high enough?"

"Not enough. The Fu Prince must at least be a Fu Prince Consort, and the Fu Princess Consort must at least be a Princess Consort. If that doesn't work, I will confer her as the Guardian Nation Princess Consort."

The Empress couldn't help but burst into laughter. "You might as well just make her a One-Word Side-by-Side Princess Consort."

"Is Ling'er still a child?"

"Yes, Father Emperor, Mother Empress."

"You, you are truly blessed. Chuan'er is obedient to you, and he is especially devoted. You, just enjoy your blessings in this life."

Even their guardian beast, she had considered.

Mentioning him, the crowd, who were originally happy, all pulled long faces.

Ling'er could also feel it; she always remembered whose child she was and couldn't lose face for her mother.

"I heard the Princess Consort also gave the Daoist temple a few books. This matter was kept strictly secret by Qingfeng Daozhang. I heard the Inkstone Master and the Old Inkstone Master were both very excited and happy."

"Uh, as long as she is willing, that's fine."

He is now practicing martial arts desperately, desperately trying to be a good Crown Prince. But unfortunately, when he went to his wife's place and was glanced at by that lion, all his defenses were broken.

In the space, Qiao Mai opened her eyes. She looked down at her cultivation and curled her lips in satisfaction.

"I was just talking about your mother-in-law. You, don't just stay at home all the time. Take some time to go back to Tianshui Town and see your mother-in-law. Which daughter-in-law doesn't serve by her mother-in-law's side?"

So she put all her energy into the children. Where she lived, the roof was full of Golden Dragon Guards.

He was almost driven crazy. Although he saw the true face of that girl, how could he forget the countless nights of intimacy and the child in her belly?

Especially that last look before death, containing so much grievance, so much deep affection.

"That's a must. The learned are teachers. Don't look at the fact that the Princess Consort isn't older than him, but the Princess Consort is more capable than him."

He sent many things over. In these ten years, Jixiang Yuan in Tianshui Town was as beautiful as a fairyland, especially the backyard, which was managed very well by Yuan Jiaqi.

Crossing an entire major realm, ten years, can be considered a small achievement.

Sometimes he stared at the child and wondered, why is her child living well, while the beloved woman's child died in the womb?

This is unfair, unfair. If they want to die, let them all die!

"Jiamei has added two more there, now there are two sons and one daughter."

Such days passed for ten years.

These were all his secret fantasies. On the surface, he didn't dare. Months of psychological activity made him especially gloomy, with a particularly dark heart.

It must be said that Qiao Mai was very qualified whether as a grandmother or a maternal grandmother.

At this time, Ling'er was holding the child, gently coaxing him to sleep in the room.

"Hehe, this is all the credit of Father Emperor and Mother Empress, otherwise how would they know me? How is Crown Prince Brother over there?"

Actually, he was overthinking. Jiamei's children, as well as Ling'er's children, Qiao Mai had given them multiple layers of insurance. Not only that, she had prepared all the pills they would eat from birth.

"Hehe, my mother-in-law is not an ordinary person. She said she doesn't need me now. When she gets old and needs me to serve, she will tell me."

This is the difference between him and his mother-in-law. No matter how hard he tries, he still has to live in the shadow of his mother-in-law.

So, she tried to ease the relationship between the two, but seeing no effect, she didn't force it; everything followed its natural course.

The Empress rolled her eyes. Others might not even know if they are willing, but the Emperor is good, directly hanging the title on them.

"Wife?"

Ling'er sighed lightly. This matter wasn't her fault, so why should she have to compromise?

She had given him a chance; since he didn't cherish it, don't blame her for being heartless.

"Hmm, I know about this. The one who has this ability must be our Guardian Nation Princess Consort."

"The Emperor and the old man have sent letters, all reporting safety."

"How are Grandfather and Grandmother's health?"

The Golden Dragon Guard coughed lightly. "Emperor, the Dark Saint Temple has disappeared."

"They went to the Qingfeng Inkstone first, and the Daoist personally visited the Princess Consort."

"Hmm, hmm, still okay."

"Thanks to Wife's blessing, this husband is so young. People of my age already have white hair."

Therefore, the Crown Prince didn't come to her palace, and she didn't invite him. The two of them looking like they respected each other like guests on the surface didn't arouse suspicion from outsiders.

The end of the year was approaching, and snow was falling outside Jixiang Yuan.

Just at this time, Jiamei came over with the children.

Whenever this happened, the flame would come to the child's side, and he would roar low at the Crown Prince to remind him.

Yuan Jiaqi wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes. "I would recognize her even if she turned to ash. This time in seclusion, ten years at once, Wife is not only not old, but seems even younger."

All of them were free of pill toxins. Whether from growth to body and mind, she had planned everything for the children.

The Emperor was afraid she would have an accident. He only had this one legitimate grandson and couldn't afford any accidents.

Ling'er still only had this one child, while Jiamei had added two more. Yuan Jiaqi was very happy when he found out.

"How was the family in the ten years I was away?"

Yuan Jiaqi sighed. "How did Wife know?"

In the Imperial Study of the Imperial Palace, the Crown Prince was carefully correcting memorials, sometimes staring at a certain place, lost in thought for a long time.

Every time he secretly glared at Ling'er, wanting to kill her when she wasn't paying attention! Kill that child.

Qiao Mai smiled. "Husband? What's wrong? Ten years without seeing each other, don't you recognize me?"

"In the future, during festivals, daughter will personally pick what parents-in-law like and send it over."

"That still requires showing filial piety."

"Crown Prince Brother is really, why can't he walk out of the dead end?"

Since that incident, she and the Crown Prince had never slept on the same bed again. Even if they slept together, they were back-to-back, with no words all night.

"Hehe, what the Princess Consort takes action on is naturally good stuff. Just wait, our Great Ming Dynasty will only get better and better, haha."

She really wanted to change this situation, but the Crown Prince no longer had the tenderness he had before.

At this time, she was nearly fifty years old. Coming out of the space, she saw Yuan Jiaqi, who was staring at her fixedly.

"Your mother-in-law has already shown mercy once. If there is a second time, I will not plead for him again. By the way, your sister-in-law is also very bored alone in the palace, you should often go into the palace to accompany her."

The old Emperor snorted coldly. "He had better be sensible, otherwise I can't help him with your mother-in-law."

Xiao Qing would occasionally come out to look around in the back. The master and servant exchanged experiences, both wanting to give Qiao Mai a surprise when she came out of seclusion.

He wanted revenge, wanted to kill the executioner mother-in-law, but he knew he was no match for her. Not only that, he couldn't do anything about her daughter either.

"You also don't have a single white hair, still as mature and handsome."

But what she couldn't stand was the look in his eyes when he looked at the child, wishing he could eat the child.

"That ungrateful thing, he hasn't touched Ling'er for ten years. He is protesting in silence."

He hated, hated the Qiao family to death. During this time, he was almost possessed.

"All good, all good."

"Father Emperor, Mother Empress, what is so happy?"

"Very good. Wang Zongsheng is going to hold a big birthday for his old man in the capital."

"Exactly, let's go over together and take a look. Some things should be settled."

Yuan Jiaqi took her hand. "Wife, under Xiao Qing's guidance, I have planted everything on all sixty-five mu in the back. Do you want to go and see?"

"Hehe, good."
