Wei Mengying was not due yet when a piece of good news came from the Eastern Palace. That was, Side Concubine Cui was pregnant!Side Concubine Cui was Cui Jianlian. She was not the legitimate wife. After being designated to marry the Crown Prince, she moved into the Eastern Palace soon. It had been less than half a year since she served the Crown Prince. She was arguably so blessed to get pregnant in such a short period of time.The Crown Prince had two sons and one daughter at the moment. However, only his eldest son was born by the Crown Princess while the other two were both born by women of humble birth. Cui Jianlian was his legitimate cousin and now was honored as his side concubine. As she got pregnant now, the Crown Princess must do something for her. Hence, the titled ladies of the outer court who were close to the Crown Princess were assigned to hold a feast in the Eastern Palace to celebrate for Cui Jianlian’s pregnancy.Song Yixiao w

“I’m sorry!” Obviously, the accident gave him a surprise too. Upon seeing the woman falling backwards, he grabbed her arms by instinct. The minute he felt her soft arm and smelt her sweet scent, he realized that his action was rude so he hastened to release his hands.Then he went backwards for two steps and meanwhile lowered his eyes to avoid eye contact with Song Yixiao as a gesture of respect, apologizing to her, “I have a little knowledge of medical skills. It is said that someone is lying ill in the guest room and the doctor hasn’t arrived. Therefore, I want to go there and see whether I can do a favor. Sorry for offending you. Please forgive me!”While saying, he made a bow with hands folded in front to apologize. His wide sleeves decorated with white ground and embroidered black bamboos were eye-catching, which looked like cranes stretching out. Indisputably, His elegance was beyond words.Song Yixiao didn’t intend to look much at a stra

Song Yixiao was not trying to tear her birth mother down before Jian Xubai. Yet, since she was on the same boat with him, or worse still, he would not share wealth and glory with her, she had to endure hardships with him if he was in trouble!The consequence was so serious that she couldn’t beat around the bush at all! Of course she must cut to the chase and figure it out directly to see whether there was any remedy!However, Jian Xubai just pondered for a while and shook his head, “Nothing special happens at court.”“I went to the inner house just now and Mother’s trusted maid told me that she was not awake.” Song Yixiao frowned and thought for a while. Then she told him about the ins and outs of the matter, “I was not suspicious at first. Yet, afterwards, while I was having tea and chatting with the maid in the wing hall, I heard my brother talking outside. The maid went outside to take a look and came back to tell me that my brother had gone

But it didn’t matter that she couldn’t figure it out. Several days later, people sent by Jinguo Grand Princess to see Jian Pingyu would come back to the imperial capital. Then most servants would be sent back to serve their former master. At that time, they couldn’t be calm any more!Song Yixiao was confident after thinking about it. She began to think how to tell it to her mother-in-law.But she didn’t take much time to ponder. The servants who were sent to Grand Princess’s mansion came back to tell her that the Grand Princess agreed to see her at any time.Two house stewards tried to persuade Song Yixiao but failed. They had to listen to Song Yixiao to let servants in the kitchen leave. Song Yixiao didn’t need to care about the affairs in Duke of Yan’s mansion temporarily. So after hearing that, she immediately dressed up and went on the carriage.When she arrived at Grand Princess’s mansion, Jinguo Grand Princess didn’t see her

After she knelt down, other people of the Sikong Family who kept silent also knelt down. They all said, “Please administer justice for Yiluo!”How could people of the Wei Family do nothing at this time?They also knelt down to ask for punishment. At this time, Side Concubine Cui chuckled and said slowly, “Your Highness, can I talk about my thoughts about it?”The Crown Prince was annoyed at present and always spoiled her. So after hearing her words, he said casually, “What do you want to say?”“In fact, it’s caused by me!” Although Side Concubine Cui said that, she didn’t look guilty on her face but her tone was a little proud, “If I hadn’t been pregnant recently, Her Highness the Crown Princess wouldn’t have held a feast for me to congratulate and Miss Wei wouldn’t have persuaded Miss Sikong to drink. So Miss Sikong would be fine now and the Sikong Family wouldn’t need to lose their daughter.”Song Yixiao used her han
