Ever since she found out she was pregnant, Lin Manjing has been in a great mood.

  It's also impossible to show too much.

  There is also a sister-in-law at home who has been married for a year without any movement.

  Even if you want to eat something, try to be low-key and don't disturb more people.

  Yahuan Baozhu said to Lin Manjing, "It doesn't matter if Nainai is happy. When Nainai first entered the household, it took her two years to give birth to Xijie, which was even more difficult than San Nainai's situation. She wouldn't dare argue about this..."

  This is the reason.

  The Empress Dowager has given birth to a child, she is delighted, and no one in the palace should say anything against it.

  She is very difficult.

  Reason cannot overcome human feelings.

  "Third Granny has gone to worship the Buddha again." Yuzhu, the senior maid, said with a smile, "Our granny's good fortune is due to Eldest Young Master's blessings. In my opinion, the Buddha comes second; we should offer sacrifices and burn incense to our ancestors instead. The protection of our ancestors is what truly matters."

  The maid's words moved Lin Manjing's heart.

  She told this to the madam.

  She wants to go with Third Granny to pay respects to their ancestors.

  Respecting ancestors is a good thing.

  "I'll arrange for incense, candles and paper horses tomorrow. I'll accompany you to the ancestral temple to pay respects." said the madam.

  San Nai Nai and Wu Gu Niang didn't return home until dusk.

  The lady asked her how was her worship of Buddha today.

  Third Granny smiled: "What a coincidence! We've run into someone from the Su family of Jianzhao Marquis. The master and mistress of the house, along with Third Young Master, went to play at the temple, and coincidentally ran into them."

  Jianzhao Marquis and Jianning Marquis were biological brothers.

  The daughter of Jian Ning Hou entered the palace and became a pinfei, she was Su Pin who gave birth to the second princess.

  Jianzhao Marquis Manor is the main house of the Su family.

  The Grand Lady was very familiar with Madame Jian Ning, but had little contact with Madame Jian Zhao.

  I heard that the wife of Jianzhao Marquis is a very formidable person.

  The lady smiled and said: "This is indeed very clever."

  Three grandmothers are optimistic.

  Compared to before, she has gradually opened up and no longer thinks that infertility is a shameful thing. In the past, she felt embarrassed to go worship Buddha, as if it was her own incompetence, but now she has let go of this mindset.

  There is no other way to show this matter except by giving birth to it.

  It's pointless to be ambiguous and evasive.

  The lady said: "Tomorrow we'll go to the ancestral temple again. I'll accompany you and your sister-in-law to offer incense to our ancestors and ask for their blessings."

  Third Grandma hurriedly said yes.

  ——*——*——

  The second lady accompanied the third grandmother to the incense shop today and discovered something unusual.

  She originally just wanted to meet with Mrs. Yuan and talk about their family relationship.

  Unexpectedly, I met someone from the Su family of Jianzhao Marquis.

  Su Jia's third young master had his lively eyes fixed on Wu Xiang, circling around her several times.

  The fifth daughter seemed to understand, hanging her head in silence, but her face was bright red.

  Su's family's big sister-in-law also asked Wuguniang many times, even inquiring if she had settled on a husband.

  It's clear that the third young master of the Su family has taken a liking to the fifth daughter.

  The second lady couldn't put into words what she was feeling.

  She decided not to tell Madame for the time being, lest Madame interfere with her plan.

  The elder lady always considers the family's reputation, rather than the girls' lifelong happiness. As a mother, the second lady loves the fifth girl the most and should take care of her, not letting the elder lady ruin things.

  At night, the second master returned to the inner courtyard.

  He said to the second lady, "It's really strange. I met Jian Shao Hou today and he even made a point of saying that he would invite me for a drink another day. I've never been familiar with him before. He seemed to have inquired about it beforehand and deliberately waited for me..."

  The second lady suddenly thought of Third Young Master from today.

  "It's definitely intentional." The second lady smiled and said, "I have something to tell you..."

  Among several daughters, the second master loved the fifth daughter the most.

  Upon hearing this, Second Master hesitated for a moment and said: "Is that Third Young Master so bold? Is he a good-for-nothing arrogant fellow?"

  "The beautiful lady is a rare find indeed." The second mistress didn't think much of it, "Our family's young lady's beauty is also one in a hundred across the land."

  The old man didn't speak again.

  He was not very familiar with the Su family and did not know their situation.

  All I know is that Su's family is an old and meritorious family, a truly noble and aristocratic family, with two marquises in one door.

  Their family's daughter entered the Crown Prince's mansion at a young age and later entered the palace as Consort Su, giving birth to a princess.

  Jianzhao Marquis is Su Pin's great uncle, with a similar relationship to De Fei and Da Lao Ye.

  It goes without saying that such a family is naturally good.

  Ke Er Lao Ye heard that the young master's eyes never left Wu Niang, and he couldn't help but feel angry. Just this one point, it was also a frivolous thing.

  "If the Su family really has this intention, let's talk about it later." The second master said, "Tell big brother. Big brother is in the imperial court and knows more than us, he is clearer, let him take charge."

  The two ladies were at odds with each other.

  "If the Eldest Uncle were fond of Bai'er, he wouldn't have replaced her and let Wan'er enter the palace!" The Second Mistress coldly snorted, "You go ask him? He naturally only thinks about what benefits him, where does he truly consider Bai'er's well-being?"

  The two old men were silent again.

  "Is that what they mean? And yet you still say it!" The second master fell silent for a moment, turned over and went to sleep, no longer speaking with the second mistress.

  The next day at dawn, the madam sent a maid named Chunqiao to tell the second madam: "Today, accompany Da Nai and San Nainai to offer incense at the ancestral temple..."

  The ancestral temple of the Gu family is in the south of the city, a two-hour horse-drawn carriage ride away.

  The second lady didn't want to go and said to Chunqiao, "I followed San Nainai to Guanyin Temple yesterday and caught a chill. I'm not feeling well, so I won't go."

  Chunqiao immediately went back and told Madame Zhang.

  The madam had originally not held too much hope for her either.

  "Since she's not going, let's go." The madam said with a smile.

  The madam herself and the wet nurse got into a carriage with her.

  All the way, the horse cart went very slowly, afraid of shaking off the big milk.

  Three grandma and five auntie in one horse carriage.

  The fifth daughter thought of something and smiled slightly.

  Third Granny couldn't help but think of the people from the Su family yesterday.

  They arrived at Guanyin Temple for less than half an hour, and the people from Su's family went there. It seemed that they knew where they were going and deliberately bumped into them.

  But Su Jia's third young master had very unruly eyes.

  The third grandma didn't like that person very much.

  "Wu Mei, what are you thinking about? You're so absorbed in thought!" San Nainai couldn't help but push Wu Gu Niang gently as she saw her smiling foolishly.

  The fifth girl came back to her senses, her cheeks flushed red, and she thought the third grandmother was making a fuss, so she pouted and said, "Nothing!"

  The fifth daughter-in-law was afraid of the big madam, but didn't take the third grandmother seriously.

  These days, she learned many things.

  She also gradually understood how to make people like her.

  But why discuss what San Niang likes? She's just a sister-in-law, and Wu Niang will rely on her in the future. Besides, she also has an elder aunt.

  Fourth Sister and De Fei in the palace, don't they always tell Eldest Maternal Aunt about everything?

  She was somewhat indifferent to her third grandmother.

  Third Granny saw it with her own eyes and smiled but didn't say anything more.

  The horse carriage soon arrived at the ancestral temple.

  The people watching the temple had already prepared incense, candles, paper horses and offerings, waiting for the mistress to arrive.

  After burning incense, the sky began to change.

  Early rising was sunny everywhere, now it's covered by smog.

  The sky is overcast and it's freezing cold.

  The lady also didn't dare to delay any longer and said: "Let's go back."

  Then led the crowd back home.

  The horse-drawn carriage returning to the city was still moving slowly.

  I arrived home, and it was almost dark.

  The old master got up early and went down to court, knowing that the madam had taken the children to the ancestral temple to burn incense, but he didn't say anything.

  At night, Da Nai and San Nainai stayed at Madame's place for dinner.

  After eating, everyone dispersed.

  Dai Nai Lin Manjing returned to her own courtyard.

  In the evening, she had a dull ache in her lower abdomen.

  She was startled.

  The housekeeper and several older maids were all frightened stiff.

  They hurriedly went to tell the lady of the house.

  The madam had already gone to sleep, but when she heard the maid say that her mistress's belly was aching, she quickly got up, hastily put on her clothes and rushed over to her mistress.

  She is also an experienced person who knows how to take care of pregnant women.

  So yesterday and today when going out, it was always the big madam who accompanied her.

  The carriage was lined with thick bedding to prevent her from jolting, and the carriage moved slowly. When getting on or off the carriage, it was also Madame who personally helped her up.

  It shouldn't be something that gets you into trouble when you go out.

  But in her heart, she didn't feel at ease.

  Madam almost ran to Lin Manjing's courtyard.

  Lin Manjing's pain has passed.

  She sat on the stool, looking at Madame Wang with a hint of apology: "It's all my fault, I couldn't even handle a small matter. It just hurts a little, it's not a big deal, I've always had some pain, I'm afraid I need to go to the bathroom..."

  She didn't expect it to be like this either.

  But still feel uneasy at heart.

  The lady smiled and said: "Go quickly."

  Let the maids and servant girls be like Lin Manjing in toilet.

  As expected, after coming back, her body felt much lighter.

  For this little thing, Mrs. Da was woken up at night and Lin Manjing was extremely embarrassed.

  The lady smiled: "A good deed done in secret is rewarded openly. You're doing the right thing, from now on no matter what happens, just come and tell me, no matter how late."

  Seeing that her mother-in-law did not have any blaming intention, Lin Manjing's heart relaxed a bit.

  She nodded.

  The madam smiled and returned to her own courtyard.

  The next day, Lin Manjing woke up early and vomited.

  Because it was a false joy, no one suspected anything.

  The lady also sent over some breakfast.

  After eating breakfast, Lin Manjing only felt that her lower abdomen was starting to ache again. A feeling of nausea rose up, she leaned on the edge of the bed and vomited for a while, vomiting out all the breakfast she had eaten.

  The lower abdominal pain has also disappeared.

  Did you eat too much?

  Lin Wanqing thought.

  Morning vomiting is no big deal, Lin Manjing did not allow anyone in the yard to tell Madame.

  She was so embarrassed last night that she almost died of embarrassment.

  Just can't eat anything anymore.

  By noon, the lady of the house sent lunch over again.

  Lin Manjing swallowed it and then spat it out again.

  But this way of speaking is also not good, it will starve the child.

  The maid went and told the madam again.

  The lady herself made some rice porridge and pickled bamboo shoots, which she brought over to Lin Manjing.

  Lin Manjing doesn't usually like to eat sour bamboo shoots, but now that she's tried them, she thinks they're very appetizing. With the sour bamboo shoots, she drank more than half a bowl of rice porridge.

  The madam also accompanied her for a while.

  No longer vomiting, Lin Manjing felt a bit sleepy, so Madame called someone to help her lie down.

  The lady herself returned to the main house.

  Lin Manjing slept for a moment and woke up.

  After waking up, I just felt stomach pain.

  Her heart suddenly turned cold.

  ——*——*——

  The second update is seeking pink tickets. The additional update will be around 11 pm tonight, muah everyone.

  Also wrote about Er Fang and De Fei. I saw that some people questioned why De Fei was granted a title but not her father, thinking it was unreasonable. First of all, I admit that my historical knowledge is very weak, what I write may be laughable, everyone can just take it lightly, give me 15 points of tolerance.

  Secondly, this arrangement reminded me of Empress Hesheri, the original wife of Emperor Kangxi. She was made empress to honor her grandfather Soni and uncle Songgotu. She was made empress in the fourth year of Kangxi's reign and died in the thirteenth year, serving as empress for nine years. It wasn't until after her death that Kangxi conferred the title of Duke of the First Rank on her father Gabula.

  So I think that demoting De Fei and rewarding her family, rather than her father, shouldn't be considered a big mistake. At least there's some historical basis for it, even if it's a bit of a stretch.

  Here is the translation:

  The male lead's surname here is Zhu, which was his original surname before he crossed over. As for the royal family's surname, I didn't set one because I'm afraid everyone will apply the history of the Ming Dynasty to this book. Since I personally am not a history buff and my knowledge is shallow, I'm afraid that if I wrote it out, everyone would laugh at me. So I didn't set a dynasty, and I also hope that everyone won't think of it as the Ming Dynasty. Cough cough, just treat it as a melodramatic ancient tale, okay? rs!
