Chapter 1243 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 167
When Jiang Xinxin returned to the palace, the wives of the royal family would always come to pay their respects to her, especially Qingying and Prince Heqin's wife. As Jiang Xinxin's "real daughters-in-law", they had to pay their respects to her as their stepmother.
Qingying's eldest son Yongxi has already entered the palace to study. Jiang Xinxin, the cheap grandmother, of course, has to take care of him every day. Qingying's second son is a boy and a girl. The second brother is the older brother of the boy and the girl is the younger sister. Perhaps because of some deficiencies in the womb, the little girl was born with a heart disease. Now Qingying puts most of her energy on the little girl.
Qingying brought her second prince with her to the palace today, but her words expressed her pity for her daughter who could not have the honor of entering the palace to meet the emperor.
Jiang Xinxin listened for a while, then asked Jianqiu to take Qingying's second prince out to play for a while. After the people left, she persuaded her earnestly, "The late emperor was troubled by Empress Xiaogongren's partiality. I understood Empress Xiaogongren at that time. After all, the late emperor grew up with Empress Xiaoyiren until he was twelve or thirteen years old before returning to her side."
"It just so happened that she had a young son who needed her care at the time, so it was inevitable that she neglected the late emperor and showed more preference for the young son than the late emperor."
"But your Second Prince and Little Princess are twins from the same mother. Even if Little Princess is weaker and needs more attention from you as a mother, you can't completely ignore Second Prince's situation when he is right in front of you."
The Prince's wife was right next to Qingying, so of course she saw clearly what Qingying did to her Second Prince.
In fact, Prince He's wife had discovered in the past that Qingying seemed to be gradually forgetting her second child. Although they were sisters-in-law and even lived next door to each other, they seldom met because of the chaos in their backyards. So she had no chance to persuade Qingying.
To be honest, Prince He's wife didn't expect that after meeting today, Jiang Xinxin would directly make everything clear to her.
After Qingying heard what Jiang Xinxin said, she wanted to feel sorry for herself at first. After all, it was already very hard for her to take care of her daughter. Moreover, she believed that she had only neglected her second son a little and did not pay as much attention to him as her daughter, but she did not completely ignore the child.
But Jiang Xinxin had already said it, and it was just persuasion, without any intention of blaming. The other party was not only her mother-in-law, but also the empress dowager. Even if she was the prince's wife, she was just a subject in front of Jiang Xinxin and did not have the capital to contradict Jiang Xinxin.
Seeing Qingying was very reluctant and even felt wronged, Jiang Xinxin simply waved her hand and said, "There is no one in your house who can raise the Second Prince for you. Anyway, the Second Prince is almost five years old. It would be better to let him enter the palace and be brought by Yongxi, so that he can enter the upper study room early."
Seeing Qingying was dumbfounded for a long time without saying anything, the Prince's wife could only step out to smooth things over: "The Queen Mother is worried about her sister-in-law. Yongxi usually lives alone in the palace. Although he has cousins to accompany him, he is not as close as his own brother."
Jiang Xinxin didn't bother to care about Qingying, who didn't know if she was affected by the plot and became strange, and just smiled at Prince Heqin's wife, "Lao Wu's wife is right, Yongxi also needs someone to accompany him."
Prince He's wife now only wants to hold on to Jiang Xinxin, her biological mother. She is quite disappointed with both Prince He and Concubine Yu.
Of course Qingying and Prince Heqin's wife had to stay for lunch at noon. Qingying had been looking absent-minded the whole time and this time she really ignored her Second Prince completely.
The wife of Prince Heqin tried her best to please Jiang Xinxin. After all, with Jiang Xinxin's good face, her life in Prince Heqin's mansion would be more peaceful, and Concubine Yu would have no chance to do anything to her.
Jiang Xinxin could see that Prince He's wife had something to ask for. Considering the things that happened between Prince He's mansion and Concubine Yu, she specially gave Prince He's wife an extra jade ruyi before she left.
The fact that the Second Prince of Prince Duan's Mansion did not leave the palace with Qingying soon attracted the attention of the Queen and Emperor Qianlong. The Queen was so stupid that she did not dare to go directly to the Cining Palace. Instead, Emperor Qianlong took the excuse of dinner and went directly to Jiang Xinxin to inquire about the situation.
Jiang Xinxin had no intention of making amends for Qingying and her husband, so she explained the situation directly. After listening to it, Qianlong sighed and tacitly agreed that the second prince of Prince Duan's Mansion would enter the palace to study.
Qingying was finally able to do something. After returning, she quickly packed up all the items needed for her second son's daily life, and sent them to the palace as soon as Qianlong gave the order.
However, Prince Duan could not help but have a huge quarrel with Qingying. The two of them quarreled without holding back their voices, which frightened the little princess who lived in Qingying's room. The little princess died of a heart attack that day.
Qingying was in great pain, but her mind finally came to its senses. After burying her youngest daughter, she went to the Cining Palace in person to apologize.
"Empress Dowager, Qingying is wrong."
Jiang Xinxin sighed helplessly. This world was really weird. She originally wanted to overthrow it all and let the era in her memory come sooner, but the thought was wiped out as soon as it came to her mind.
Later, after many times, she learned her lesson and just did things quietly and pushed things forward secretly.
But I didn’t expect that Qianlong’s Queen and Qingying would also be affected.
The palace had not heard news of a child's death for a long time. The death of the little princess in Prince Duan's mansion made the concubines in the harem feel sad and alert at the same time.
The Golden Festival did not dispel Qingying's sadness, guilt and regret. Jiang Xinxin couldn't bear to see her continue to convey negative emotions, so she took her to the Cining Palace and scolded her: "What the hell is wrong with you?!"
"I told you before that you should not only take care of the little princess and ignore the other children, but you didn't even take good care of the little princess. You knew that her body couldn't withstand any shock, and you still quarreled with Hongshi."
"Just quarrel if you want to, at least you have to carry the children!"
"You don't still have expectations for Hongshi, do you?"
"They men are different!"
"Without going through the hardships of pregnancy for ten months, or the embarrassing things that happen after childbirth, they will never know how much a mother has put into raising a child."
"He can't possibly empathize with you, because the little princess is your only daughter, and if he wants another healthy princess, he can just spend the night in another woman's room!"
Although Jiang Xinxin's words were harsh and she didn't seem to have any sympathy for Qingying, she actually hoped that Qingying could vent out more of her negative emotions and not keep them all in her heart.
Qingying was so heartbroken after being scolded by Jiang Xinxin that she even felt like rebelling.
"Empress Dowager, when Prince Honghui passed away, someone also forced you not to be sad."
"I used to not understand why you hated the Ulanara clan so much, but now I can empathize with you."
Jiang Xinxin didn't look like she was hurt at all, but Jianqiu scolded Qingying early on, "Third Lady! Do you know what you are talking about and who you are talking to?!"
