Chapter 161 Entering the mansion today
Mrs. Bo did not urge her, but instead talked about the current queen: "With the precedent of the queen, our Bo family is helpless."
The queen had no son at first, so she adopted the third prince. But after she had the fourth prince as her own son, she immediately gave her all to support the fourth prince and make him the crown prince.
With a legitimate son already in place, who would care about the eldest son born out of wedlock?
Liu Xiangling's breathing became a little rapid.
Madam Liu was also emotionally unstable. She had not expected that Mrs. Bo would actually use such means to defend herself. This was going to cut off Liu Xiangling's path.
If the antidote is not given in the future, won't Liu Xiangling, the nominal prince's consort, be at the mercy of others?
"The third prince is here."
Suddenly, a greeting came from outside.
Liu Xiangling seemed to have found support, and stood up to greet him. The third prince came in and patted Liu Xiangling gently: "Don't be afraid."
Liu Xiangling's emotions gradually stabilized.
"Grandmother, aunt." The third prince saluted the two of them.
Old Madam Bo lifted the quilt and slowly stood up, saying that she didn't dare. The Third Prince rushed forward and supported Old Madam Bo: "Grandmother."
Looking at the face that was 80% similar to her daughter, Mrs. Bo's eyes were red, and she held the Third Prince's hand tightly: "Zhen'er."
The third prince smiled slightly: "It's me."
Mrs. Bo, who was standing by, stared at the Third Prince's face in a daze. He looked very much like another person. She shook her head. He had died a long time ago, so how could he still be here?
The Third Prince noticed Madam Bo's strangeness and turned to look at her: "Aunt, the Third Prince's Mansion owes the Bo family a debt and will give them an explanation."
Without giving Madam Bo a chance to speak, the Third Prince looked at Liu Xiangling seriously and said, "Ling'er, drink this cup of tea. I believe that the Bo family will give you an antidote in the future."
Liu Xiangling was stunned and instinctively didn't want to drink it, but after her eyes met the Third Prince's, she picked up the cup of tea and drank it all.
"I believe in you, Your Highness!"
The choice has been made.
Madam Bo was speechless and said to the Third Prince, "Please keep your promise, Third Prince. Before the Bo family has two sons, no other women from the Liu family can enter the mansion."
"Okay!" The third prince agreed immediately.
Madam Bo then looked at Old Lady Bo, who said, "It is better to do it today than to wait for a better day. Let Yan'er enter the house today. I believe she will be more blessed than her aunt."
No matter how unhappy Liu Xiangling was, she could not stop Bo Yan'er from entering the palace, and she was given the ceremony of a concubine. In order to honor Bo Yan'er, the Bo family prepared nearly a hundred loads of dowry and moved to the Third Prince's palace in a grand manner.
On the way back home, Liu Xiangling cried with red eyes: "Your Highness..."
This was completely different from what she expected. The Bo family was too shameless.
Yesterday, the Third Prince told her that she must maintain her position as the legitimate wife. As for children, they would always have them in the future. After Bo Yan'er gave birth to two, he would let her get pregnant immediately.
By maintaining the position of the legitimate wife, the future child will be a legitimate son, with a status far higher than that of the eldest son of a concubine. For this reason, the third prince even took the queen as an example.
Only then did Liu Xiangling compromise.
Now that she has been drugged, how can she survive?
The Third Prince lowered his voice and continued to persuade Liu Xiangling in her ear: "Raise him first, and train him when you have a legitimate son in the future."
Liu Xiangling's mood had almost improved before getting off the car.
"Your Highness, she is your cousin, aren't you tempted?" Liu Xiangling asked jealously. The third prince whispered a few words and Liu Xiangling gasped in shock.
"It's just that no one can mention this matter, especially before it's done. Give her a place to settle down in the future."
Liu Xiangling tightly grasped the Third Prince's hand: "If Your Highness can really do this, I will keep my mouth shut."
That day, the Third Prince brought Bo Yan'er into the mansion and placed her in a spacious courtyard. As things had to be done in a hurry, they had to hold the ceremony in a hurry.
Bo Yan'er, wearing a pink wedding dress, was carried in from the side door and sat on the couch with a shy look on her face. The third prince came over and had dinner with her, and then they prepared to go to bed after dark.
The third prince sent all the servants away and instructed them not to disturb them.
Bo Yan'er clenched her palms tightly with a look of trepidation.
"Yan'er, the Liu family owes the Bo family too much. I know this all these years." The Third Prince sighed, and Bo Yan'er immediately said, "Your Highness, don't worry. The Bo family has never blamed you. You have no choice."
The Third Prince took out a Ruyi knot from his bosom and handed it to Bo Yan'er: "I will never let the Liu family have an heir to restrain me in the future. If the princess makes things difficult for you in the future, don't be angry."
"Your Highness, Yan'er won't bother with the prince's wife."
The two of them drank a glass of wine together, and the third prince took the opportunity to say some caring words. Bo Yan'er was too shy to urge the third prince to rest early, so she could only accompany him.
Before she knew it, Bo Yan'er was drunk.
On the other side, Liu Xiangling had not slept all night, and finally waited for the drunken Third Prince. She approached him anxiously: "Your Highness?"
"I have already followed our agreement and sent someone to enter the bridal chamber on my behalf."
Liu Xiangling was so moved that he threw himself into the Third Prince's arms: "Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness."
After comforting the two women, the third prince woke up in the bridal chamber the next morning, already dressed. Bo Yan'er rubbed her brows, and when she opened her eyes, she felt sore all over. Thinking of last night, her face turned red with embarrassment. Seeing that the third prince was awake, she quickly got up.
"Yan'er, there is no need to get up. Just let the maid come." The third prince comforted her.
The maid came in and saw the bloodstains on the couch. She immediately took out a brocade box and put it away. Then she checked carefully and confirmed that Bo Yan'er had been favored by the emperor and had not taken any contraceptives. There was not even a contraceptive sachet in the room.
"Empress Concubine." The maid knelt down towards Bo Yan'er.
Bo Yan'er breathed a sigh of relief. In order to prevent anyone from harming Bo Yan'er, the Bo family specially sent two maids with medical skills to watch over her.
She would only believe it if the maid said it was okay.
"Yan'er, remember to pay your respects to the princess later. You also have to go to the palace." The third prince had just finished giving instructions when the servant outside asked him to leave. He said, "I'll pick you up later."
Bo Yaner nodded.
half an hour later
Liu Xiangling sat contentedly in her seat waiting to be served tea. When the third prince came last night, he also specially called a doctor.
The doctor said that the third prince had just recovered from a serious illness and was not suitable for sexual intercourse.
Although it was said obscurely, Liu Xiangling understood it.
When Liu Xiangling saw the maid bringing Bo Yan'er's wedding veil, the smile on her face became even more intense, indicating that the Third Prince had not deceived her.
"I pay my respects to the Crown Prince's wife." Bo Yan'er knelt down and saluted.
Liu Xiangling generously helped the person up: "No need to be so polite, Concubine Bo, get up quickly. We will be a family in the future, and we must not allow internal strife to distract His Highness."
Bo Yan'er smiled slightly. Before she came, she had already prepared herself to be embarrassed by Liu Xiangling, but she didn't expect that she would let her go so easily.
She was worrying too much.
"Sister Bo, if you need anything, just tell me. You must take good care of yourself and give birth to a little prince for His Highness as soon as possible." Liu Xiangling gently touched Bo Yan'er's belly: "The little prince of the East Palace is lively and cute, Sister Bo must work hard."
Bo Yaner nodded.
