Tibet

Princess Dugu Xinyue had an additional worry. Last night, her husband did not hide it from her and told her about Shen Zhenzhu and Shen Li.

Dugu Xinyue supported Shen Li's matter. Her husband really needed to marry with the Jiangnan gentry to consolidate the recognition of the Jiangnan gentry for the imperial power. The daughter of the Shen family was the most suitable.

But Shen Zhenzhu made Dugu Xinyue headache. Shen Zhenzhu was the former crown princess. Although she was a widow, according to the latest decree, she could remarry, but what was the point of marrying her husband as a concubine?

As a princess, Dugu Xinyue could completely disagree with Shen Zhenzhu's marriage. The key was that she was pregnant with her husband's child, which made it difficult to deal with.

Dugu Xinyue paced back and forth in the room. At this time, the door opened and Yang Yuhuan walked in and said, "Sister, are you looking for me?"

"I have something bothering me. Can you help me with some advice?"

The two sat down, and Dugu Xinyue told Yang Yuhuan about Shen Zhenzhu and Shen Li.

Dugu Xinyue said: "You said Shen Li is needed for political marriage, I can fully understand and accept it, but what is Shen Zhenzhu, she is over 30 years old, a widow, and has a special status. I really don't know what her husband likes about her?"

Yang Yuhuan felt really bad. She had been with her husband for so many years and couldn't get pregnant. This Shen Zhenzhu got pregnant after only being with her husband for more than three months. God was simply unfair.

However, Yang Yuhuan's mentality has been very peaceful in the past two years. The main reason is that she saw her sister Yang Yupei aging rapidly and looked like an old woman, while she had no wrinkles at all, her skin was smooth and elastic, and she was completely a mature woman in her thirties.

Li Tengkong Fairy also told her clearly that if she got pregnant and gave birth to a child, she would age rapidly. If she was asked to look like her third sister, she would rather not have a child, anyway, she already had a daughter Luqi.

"Yuhuan, give me some advice, what should I do?"

Yang Yuhuan smiled bitterly and said, "Sister, don't you understand? My husband told you about Shen Zhenzhu, it's obvious that he doesn't want the child to be illegitimate, otherwise he wouldn't have told you at all, and you wouldn't have known."

This sentence hit the nail on the head, Shen Zhenzhu is not important, the child in her belly is important.

Dugu Xinyue sighed and said, "I'll go see them! You go with me."

"Should I go too?" Yang Yuhuan hesitated a little.

"She shouldn't know you!"

"I've seen her a few times, but I'm not very familiar with her."

"That's fine, I remember you have a mask? Wear it, no one will recognize who you are!"

Li Ye asked the best craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty to make a special mask for Yang Yuhuan, which only changed her eyebrows and eyes. After wearing it, she became a completely different person, and it was impossible to tell that she was wearing a mask.

Yang Yuhuan felt a little more confident, so she nodded, "Okay! I'll go with my elder sister."

An hour later, three hundred female cavalrymen of the inner guards escorted several carriages to stop in front of the Shen residence in Xuanyangfang. Dugu Xinyue first asked Li Chenghua about the location of the Shen residence, and then came in a carriage.

When Shen Zhenzhu heard that the Regent Princess was coming, she was really uneasy, and hurriedly took Shen Li out to welcome the arrival of the Princess.

Dugu Xinyue smiled faintly and said, "Madam, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"

This is the kindness of Dugu Xinyue. She did not deliberately call Shen Zhenzhu the Crown Princess to humiliate her, but called her Madam, which made Shen Zhenzhu feel relieved, and hurriedly smiled and said, "It has been several years, and the Princess seems to have not changed at all."

"Women are most afraid of time, how can they not change?"

Dugu Xinyue glanced at Yang Yuhuan behind her. This is the woman who is really not afraid of time.

Shen Zhenzhu hurriedly asked Shen Li to come to see the princess. Shen Li stepped forward and bowed obediently, "I, the commoner Shen Li, pay my respects to the princess!"

Dugu Xinyue looked at Shen Li carefully and saw that she was quite beautiful, with skin as white as snow and outstanding temperament, just like a fairy. No wonder her husband took a fancy to her, she was indeed a national beauty.

Not only men like beautiful women, but women also like them. Especially Dugu Xinyue has a superior status. She is not afraid of anyone snatching her position as the wife, so she likes Shen Li's beauty.

There is another important reason. Dugu Xinyue is an experienced person. Although Shen Li is extremely beautiful, it can be seen that she is still a virgin. This makes Dugu Xinyue very satisfied. She has been on the boat with her husband for two or three months, and she can keep her virginity. It shows that this is an honest child. If a scheming woman, she would have long

Dugu Xinyue smiled and introduced them to Yang Yuhuan and Liangdi Yang behind them.

Shen Zhenzhu didn't recognize Yang Yuhuan at all. She was only shocked by her plump and charming figure. A peerless beauty is not only about appearance, but also about her figure and skin. This cannot be concealed.

Shen Zhenzhu suddenly realized that this might be the most beloved woman of His Highness the Regent.

She hurriedly invited the two into the mansion.

Dugu Xinyue brought a large group of maids. They gathered behind the princess and the second wife and entered the hall. Dugu Xinyue sat in the main seat without hesitation. Yang Yuhuan sat on the left, and the two aunts and nieces of the Shen family sat on the other side.

Several maids from the Shen family came in to serve tea. At this time, Shen Zhenzhu's face changed, and she suddenly covered her mouth, waved to Dugu Xinyue apologetically, and ran into the inner room.

Shen Li explained nervously: "Princess, my aunt..."

Dugu Xinyue smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know what's going on. It's normal to have a violent reaction in the first few months. It will be fine in another month."

Not long after, Shen Zhenzhu came out panting and smiled bitterly: "I made the princess laugh!"

Dugu Xinyue winked at Yang Yuhuan, who stood up and said with a smile: "Little sister of the Shen family, please show me around the house!"

Shen Li was extremely smart and understood immediately. He stood up and said, "Ma'am, please come this way!"

Shen Li took Yang Yuhuan out.

All the maids also left the lobby and waited in the courtyard. There were only a few personal female guards standing not far from the princess. They were well-trained and would turn a deaf ear even if they could hear.

There was no one in the lobby, and Dugu Xinyue said calmly: "You should know the reason for my coming!"

Shen Zhenzhu asked tentatively: "Could it be that the princess is here to ask questions?"

Dugu Xinyue said calmly: "Do you think I look like I'm asking for punishment?"

Shen Zhenzhen let out a long sigh and said, "Your Highness, please tell the princess about my son!"

Dugu Xinyue nodded, "He is very unfortunate, and I feel deeply sorry for him."

"We are both women. I believe the princess can understand my situation and mood. Frankly speaking, I definitely don't want to be your highness's concubine. I just want to have another child."

"Madam is very good at choosing people!"

"I don't want to explain what happened that day. I just want to say that this is my destiny!"

Dugu Xinyue shook her head, "I know who my husband is. He is not lecherous. He has never brought a woman home when he was fighting in the field, and he will hardly find other women. I have known him for so many years, and he has never been there. Brothel, there must be a reason for him to fall in love with you."

"But I don't know why, he never told me!"

Dugu Xinyue smiled and said: "Actually, I'm not here for you. It doesn't matter whether you want to be a concubine or not. What's important is the child in your belly. Since the child is my husband's flesh and blood, then as the princess, I have the responsibility." Come on, madam, you and Miss Shen should clean up! Move to Prince Qi’s Palace, only Aunt Mu lives in Luojinhua, it’s a big place.”

Shen Zhenzhu was silent for a moment and said, "Did His Highness ask the princess to pick me up?"

Dugu Xinyue slowly shook his head, "No! I want to pick you up. This is the rule of our Li family. We will never allow illegitimate children."

Shen Zhenzhu finally did not have the courage to refuse. Half an hour later, Shen's aunt and niece got into a carriage and followed the princess's motorcade to the Qi Palace.
