Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 179 Testing
Since the Three Kingdoms War a few years ago, the vitality of Di and Rong was severely damaged. In the past few years, they have sent people to Ling to bring gifts and silver.

The Holy One held a banquet in the palace and invited officials and family members from Kyoto to attend.

The only ladies in the Yongning Hou Mansion who were qualified to attend the banquet were Mrs. Qiao, Mrs. Hou, and Mrs. Xiao, the wife of the Crown Prince, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Mrs. Xiao was a little worried about her second son who was starting to toddle.

The one-and-a-half-year-old son was just starting to walk around alone and was curious about his surroundings. He would inevitably bump into each other. Ms. Xiao felt uneasy if she didn't look at her second son every day.

Tang Bingxuan saw the worry and reluctance gathering in her sister-in-law Xiao's eyes, so she volunteered to take over the burden of raising the baby, "Mother and sister-in-law can go to the palace for the banquet in peace, and I will take care of the children."

The Crown Prince's wife, Mrs. Xiao, cast a grateful look at Tang Bingxuan and said, "Thank you, brothers and sisters."

Mrs. Xiao looked at the twins raised by Tang Bingxuan, who were white, plump and cute. They looked like they had been carefully raised. She always felt that the third brother and sister were better at raising children than him, who was more experienced.

"Sister-in-law, whatever you say, your family should do what you say."

Mrs. Xiao was not as caring about Jiang Zepei as her second son when he was a child. Probably because his second son looked more delicate, Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but want to pamper her son.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xiao said simply: "Then we will bring you the steamed goose from Fanlou when we return home."

It was heard that Tang Bingxuan liked to eat steamed goose from Fanlou. Xiao heard this from her eldest son Jiang Zepei;
Seeing Tang Bingxuan's eyes light up when she heard the name of the steamed goose dish, she wished she could eat steamed goose right now.

Because giving birth to twins requires cultivation, Tang Bingxuan has been eating the medicinal diet made by Shen's mother. The taste of the steamed goose is still the same as when she was pregnant.

"Okay. If my sister-in-law and mother see anything interesting at the banquet, please tell me when you get home."

Mrs. Hou tapped Tang Bingxuan's nose and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll tell you when I'm back to relieve your boredom."

Seeing that it was getting late, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hurried out of the house to go to the banquet for fear of missing the time. Those who should take care of the children went to take care of the children.

The palace banquet arranged by Emperor Ling for the envoys of the State of Di is said to be very lively, with both the characteristic dance of the State of Di as the opening ceremony and the finale of the local dance of the State of Ling.

Not only the envoys of Di State were stunned, but even the officials and wives of Ling State were also surprised.

The banquet was held very wonderfully, and the young prince of Di State even composed a poem in the poor language of Ling State, which reached the climax of the banquet.

In February, the snow on the streets of Kyoto had not melted completely. Tang Bingxuan was too lazy to go out to socialize, so she played with her children at home every day.

A few days later, good news came from the East Palace. Princess Pingyu was pregnant again, which caused an uproar among all parties paying attention to the East Palace.

Prince Jin was a little tired of Princess Jin's coquettishness. Because of the Crown Princess's pregnancy, he wished he could spend the night in Princess Jin's yard every day so that Princess Jin could give birth to a legitimate son for him.

Now when Emperor Ling was in his prime, there were only three grown-up princes: the prince, the king of Jin and the king of Chu.

The prince is the legitimate eldest son, and has been carrying the mission of being a prince since he was a child;

The King of Chu had no interest in the throne. Apart from emotionally supporting the prince, who was a compatriot from the same mother, he usually spent his days dawdling;

The King of Jin was ambitious and courageous and felt that apart from not being the legitimate son, he was no worse than the prince who was one year older.

The battle between the prince and the king of Jin, whether it is inside and outside the court, the game in the palace, or the number of heirs in the inner house, is closely related to himself.

After Tang Bingxuan learned the news, she specially chose a time to visit Crown Princess Ping Yu.

Even though the two of them were both in Kyoto, one was in the inner palace and the other was in the inner chamber of the marquis' mansion, they didn't see each other very often.

When Tang Bingxuan saw Pingyu at this time, she was naturally exuding the brilliance of motherhood due to her pregnancy. Such a gentle and gentle Pingyu made people very mature, which was very different from the appearance when she first entered the East Palace.

Pingyu was very happy that Tang Bingxuan came to visit her, and she even brought the emperor's eldest grandson here for Tang Bingxuan to see.

Pingyu glanced at Tang Bingxuan angrily, "I won't bring the twins here if you come to see them. I haven't seen two children yet."

The two children are too young, and Tang Bingxuan has limited energy to take care of them. It is better to wait until the children are older before visiting the East Palace.

Tang Bingxuan smiled warmly and said: "My mother-in-law thinks that the children are small and she is afraid of getting sick when they are brought out in cold weather. She is more worried about the children than I am; my grandmother and mother are also looking forward to the first visit of the (great) grandchildren."

The emperor's eldest grandson is now just over eleven months old. He has not spoken a word except baby talk, but he can stand and walk a few steps crookedly.

The child started to doze off after playing for a while. Pingyu asked the nanny to take the emperor's eldest grandson down, and she and Tang Bingxuan entered the bedroom.

Princess Pingyu grabbed Tang Bingxuan's hand and whispered: "Xuan'er, can you help me find a drug to fake death?"

Fake death drug? Pingyu is pregnant with her second child, so she still needs to fake her death to escape?
Tang Bingxuan did not answer, but looked at Ping Yu with a puzzled expression on her face, as if she was guessing Ping Yu's purpose for asking for the medicine.

Pingyu quickly denied, "I don't want to use it."

Under Tang Bingxuan's serious and concerned gaze, Ping Yu said uncomfortably: "Chen Liangyuan wants to use it."

Chen Xiaoyue? Tang Bingxuan still said nothing and looked at Pingyu seriously again.

"Chen Liangyuan told me that she originally agreed to marry into the East Palace so that she could get married smoothly and not have the Jingting Marquis Mansion to be criticized by others in Kyoto;
Now she doesn't want to stay in bed, nor does she want to spend her years in the East Palace. She wants to leave the East Palace and live a free life anonymously. "

Since Chen Xiaoyue entered the East Palace, she has always avoided Prince Ling Gan, and she is still in perfect condition;

Living quietly in a remote palace, how could he suddenly fake his death and leave the palace?

"Why did she ask you for it?"

Princess Pingyu looked like a child who had done something wrong. She glanced at Tang Bingxuan timidly from time to time, "Once, she accidentally swallowed poison, and I gave her an antidote pill."

The detoxification pills and poisons that Tang Bingxuan prepared for Pingyu were specially developed for Pingyu and specially formulated to target the tricks used by women in the palace.

To Jiang Shunian, she could tell the truth without reservation, but to Pingyu, Tang Bingxuan thought that the prince Ling Qian was not the emperor of Ling Kingdom yet, so it was not good to know some things too early.

Tang Bingxuan and Heping Yu grew up together and have a deep friendship, and they also get along very happily with Chen Xiaoyue;

But relatively speaking, unless Chen Xiaoyue really wanted to leave the palace and fake death, she would still side with Pingyu.

Tang Bingxuan felt that Chen Xiaoyue's behavior was inconsistent with her personality. She was obviously a happy-go-lucky person who preferred to avoid danger rather than take risks.

"Have you told the prince about this?"

In the East Palace, even though the Crown Princess Ping Yu had been in charge for more than two years, Tang Bingxuan intuitively felt that everything that happened in the East Palace was under the control of the Crown Prince.

Pingyu looked at Tang Bingxuan, her eyes widened and she said angrily: "If the prince knew about this, could Chen Liangyuan still leave the palace?"

The more Tang Bingxuan thought about it, the more strange she felt about this matter. Pingyu seemed to have returned to her former self of being ignorant of the world and taking things for granted.

“I don’t have much contact with the prince, but my impression is that he is a man of extraordinary glory;
