The palace wall reflects the moon

At the Crown Princess's place, Jiang Zong looked outside the palace countless times, not knowing what he was waiting for.

After dawn, Jiang Zong walked out of the princess's palace and was extremely upset: "Xiao Liu, I want her to be sensible, but I don't want her to be so sensible."

Xiaoliu was speechless for a moment and said to him: "The imperial doctor said that the concubine is going to give birth in the next few days, and she may give birth at any time."

Jiang Zong rubbed his temples and said thoughtfully: "Send her a bowl of red dates and osmanthus soup, carry a warm sedan over there, and ask her to come to my place tonight."

Then, Jiang Zong waited until midnight, but no one was there.

"The concubine said she is too heavy to come here."

"Didn't I ask you to carry the sedan chair?"

"The concubine said that she was so dizzy after bumping into the sedan chair that she didn't want to sit..."

"Okay, got it."

Jiang Zong was very upset. He tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep. He simply got up in the middle of the night and rushed to Tinglan Garden.

Jiang Mo was sleeping soundly when she suddenly noticed someone entering her room. She opened her eyes and took a look, then turned over and fell asleep with difficulty, holding her belly.

The man got under the quilt, hugged her from behind, and gently touched her belly.

"Mo'er, I know you're awake," his voice was a little tired, "I promised you, and I always have you in my heart. I won't break my promise, but you also know that I am the prince, and there are many things that I cannot do as I wish. Can you be considerate of me and not embarrass me too much?"

Jiang Mo wanted to cry every now and then, but this time her nose was sore and she held back the tears, "You told me to figure it out and see you again later. Now that I haven't figured it out, you shouldn't see me either."

"Oh," he rubbed his face in her soft hair, "then don't think about it, it's okay."

Jiang Mo ignored him.

Jiang Zong fell asleep quickly. He had long discovered that since having Jiang Mo, he always felt like something was missing when sleeping alone. He felt more comfortable and relaxed only when Jiang Mo was by his side.

The next days went smoothly.

I just always feel like something is different.

But Jiang Zong still had a lot to do, and his father was giving him more and more, and he really couldn't care about Jiang Mo.

On the day Jiang Mo gave birth, Jiang Zong barged into the delivery room regardless, but Jiang Mo was particularly angry: "Go away! I don't want you here, go away!"

Jiang Zong was afraid that she would become more excited, so he could only retreat.

When Jiang Qingyue came over, she saw him standing blankly at the door, wondering what he was thinking.

The maids brought in basin after basin of hot water, and Jiang Qingyue also went in to take a look.

While Jiang Mo was panting, she saw Jiang Qingyue and wanted to talk to her, but she didn't know what to call her.

Jiang Qingyue took the initiative to go over and hold her cold hand, "Don't be afraid, it will be fine."

Jiang Mo was dripping with cold sweat. He didn't have much energy, but he still wanted to talk to her.

"Mother, I envy you so much. I also want... to be loved wholeheartedly by someone..."

Jiang Qingyue held her hand tightly and comforted her: "The prince actually cares about you, more than you think."

Jiang Mo shook her head, looking where she didn't know where to look.

"My biological mother was also a concubine... My father favored her for a short time, but later she died so unjustly, and my father didn't even ask a question... I was afraid, afraid that I would end up like my mother... so I refused to be the prince. Go to her, I'm afraid..."

She once heard someone say that if a man really cares about a woman, he will not let her be his concubine.

Concubines exist in groups, most easily replaced and forgotten, without self-esteem and love.

Although the concubine was also called a concubine, she was clearly a concubine.

She knew that it was embarrassing for her to be jealous, but only when she was pampered and favored through unreasonable troubles again and again, would she feel a little more at ease.

Jiang Qingyue promised warmly: "I will definitely keep your mother and son safe."

"Mother," Jiang Mo held her hand tightly and begged, "It's a good idea to keep this child by your side. I can feel at ease only if I'm by your side."

Jiang Qingyue asked softly: "Why don't you raise her yourself?" Jiang Mo said: "I'm afraid she will become me."

Jiang Qingyue did not dare to refuse her right now. For the sake of her peace of mind, Jiang Qingyue agreed: "Okay, I promise you."
-
A few hours later, someone came out to announce the good news: "Congratulations to the prince, you are a little princess. Mother and daughter are safe."

Jiang Zong hugged the child happily, kissed the wrinkled little face again and again, and then asked, "When can I go in and take a look at Concubine Jiang?"

At this time, Jiang Qingyue came out from behind: "She said she didn't want to see you."

"Why don't you want to see me yet?" Jiang Zong was stunned.

Jiang Qingyue sighed: "...She is also a little girl who has suffered a lot. She has suffered a lot, and her temper is a little weird. Jiang Zong, if you really like her, just be patient and coax her."

He had already heard similar words from his father.

Jiang Zong said: "But I have already bowed my head!"

Jiang Qingyue sighed again: "Jiang Zong, do you think she is inferior to you?"

Jiang Zong choked.

She added: "Do you think that by bowing your head, you are giving her a great gift?"

Jiang Zong shook his head: "That's not the case..."

"What's that?" Jiang Qingyue patted him on the shoulder, "It's no big deal for your own woman to coax and tolerate it. People say they don't want to see you, but they still look forward to it in their hearts. Women are prone to duplicity. , you have to get used to it.”

The emperor built Wangyue Pavilion in the palace for the prince's mother to live.

Jiang Zong did not expect that his concubine's confinement period would not be in the East Palace, but would go to his mother's Wangyue Pavilion.

Jiang Qingyue asked someone to clean up a Chaoyang room in Wangyue Pavilion for Jiang Mo to use during confinement. She also told her: "You and your child can continue to live here after confinement, but I don't often stay in the palace." Here, you might get bored."

Jiang Mo felt very good in her heart.

In this Wangyue Pavilion, with her mother-in-law looking after her, she finally felt that she no longer looked like a concubine.Here she didn't have to think wildly and fear that someone would harm her like they harmed her biological mother.

Jiang Zong came over to see her and take care of the child whenever he had time.

One day, watching her gently rocking the cradle to put the child to sleep, he said for no reason: "I haven't been to Liu Fangqian's place these days..."

Jiang Mo raised a finger to her lips, signaling him to whisper.

After the child fell asleep, Jiang Mo said calmly: "This is not appropriate. After all, she is your crown princess. She should be pregnant with the emperor's grandson as soon as possible."

Jiang Zong looked at her and then at the child sleeping soundly in the cradle, feeling sour in his heart.

It seemed that since that day she had never cried in front of him, she always looked cold and indifferent, not caring about anything.

But it was obvious that she used to love crying, and she would cry even if he just peeled a grape for her with his own hands.

Jiang Zong said: "It was my fault that day. I was upset. When I saw you sitting on the ground crying regardless of your body and making trouble with me, I really didn't know what to do... Afterwards I knew that I had passed, and what I said was serious. Yeah, I thought, next time you make trouble with me, I will indulge you more."

Jiang Mo's eyes flashed slightly, and she said calmly: "Your Highness said something harsh, it's my fault."

"No, it's not your fault," Jiang Zong said in a gentle voice, "You were just worried that I would fall in love with someone else and that you were pregnant. Pregnant people would have more random thoughts."

Jiang Mo also said gently: "Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness, I won't have random thoughts anymore."

Jiang Zong looked at her quietly for a moment.

That day he heard what Jiang Mo said to his mother.

"The Crown Princess was of noble birth and beautiful. When she was learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I was given sour food, but I still had to eat it. While she was surrounded by servants, I was filling the chamber pot for my sister-in-law. It’s not that Jiang Mansion has no food to eat, nor is it short of servants, it’s just that they take pleasure in humiliating me to please my aunt.”

"People like me will end up with nothing if they don't plan and compete for favor."

"The Crown Princess is the cloud and I am the clay. As long as the Crown Prince has more contact with her, he will know that she is a piece of jade."

"I'm afraid that he will dislike me just like my father disliked my mother. I'm afraid that if I die in the palace, no one will care about me, and my child will still call someone else his mother."

"I thought it would be fine if I didn't let the prince see her. After all, I was wrong. Even without her, the prince would still dislike me because I am useless."
