Chapter 547 The Crown Prince's Concubine 4
"You!" Tang Xiji laughed, "I am the prince, who dares to laugh at me? What's more, you and Jiao'er are my dearest. I love you so much, how could I possibly be annoyed with you?"
Tang Xiji's words were indeed sincere, and this is the difference between love and not love.
In the original owner's previous life, Tang Xiji might have really liked the original owner at the beginning, but the dull life after marriage made Tang Xiji's love for the original owner disappear quickly, and naturally he didn't care much about the daughter they had.
That's why they regard them as stains on their lives, even though the original owner and her daughter did nothing wrong. If the original owner hadn't saved Tang Xiji, Tang Xiji would have been dead long ago.
But so what? In this ancient world with strict class distinctions, the original owner's humble origins were her original sin. Even though she saved Tang Xiji's life, in the eyes of those high and mighty people, the existence of the original owner and her daughter was a sin.
A month later, Jiang Chunxi and her daughter finally arrived in the capital with Tang Xiji.
As soon as he entered the palace, Tang Xiji went to see the emperor.
As for Jiang Chunxi and her daughter, they were taken to see the queen, who was Tang Xiji's biological mother.
"Don't worry, you are the Crown Princess. No woman can surpass you. Although you and the Crown Prince have been separated for several years, I believe that you are still the most important woman in the Crown Prince's heart. No one can replace you in his heart." The Queen comforted the Crown Princess.
The Queen was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law, the Crown Princess, but of course she also felt very distressed.
After all, the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince had just gotten married when the Crown Prince disappeared, and he had been missing for several years. Because of this reason, the Queen naturally felt extremely distressed for her daughter-in-law, the Crown Princess.
Moreover, if it were not for the Crown Princess's insistence, even the Queen herself would have given up the idea that her son was still alive and would have built a cenotaph for her son early on so that her son could enjoy the royal offerings and avoid becoming a wandering ghost.
If that were to happen, not only would his son be in an awkward situation now that he has returned, but the position of crown prince would definitely fall into the hands of someone else.
Therefore, the Queen was naturally very satisfied with her daughter-in-law, the Crown Princess. Especially when she received the news that the Crown Prince had been found alive, the Queen's satisfaction with the Crown Princess increased to another level.
It was also because of this that the Queen felt very uncomfortable with the mother and daughter that her son brought back from the people. She was disgusted with them before she even met them.
As for the woman, she saved her son's life.
Haha! So what? For a poor peasant like her to be able to save the crown prince was already a great blessing, so how could she, a lowly woman, dare to marry the crown prince and live with him as husband and wife for several years?
"Mother," Crown Princess Xie Junwen started to cry as soon as she opened her mouth, "All I have been asking for for all these years is for the Crown Prince to return safely. Even if the Crown Prince's heart is occupied by another woman, I would be happy with that. But whenever I think of that woman living with the Crown Prince for several years and having a child with him, my heart aches so much that I can hardly breathe."
Xie Junwen naturally liked the prince, but her liking for him was more about the power he brought her. After all, Xie Junwen had been a very ambitious person since she was a child, so she had set her sights on the position of crown princess very early on.
This is why she and the prince fell in love with each other. It can be said that the prince's liking for her was entirely due to Xie Junwen's plan.
But what Xie Junwen never expected was that the prince would actually disappear and his life or death was unknown. One can imagine the blow this caused to Xie Junwen. If the prince was really dead, then all her aspirations and ambitions would be in vain.
Therefore, over the years she insisted that the prince was not dead and refused to allow the royal family to build a cenotaph for the prince. It was not because she had deep feelings for the prince, but because she could not accept that everything she had planned was in vain. This was why she was deceiving herself and unwilling to admit that the prince was dead.
Unexpectedly, the prince was not dead. What was even more unexpected was that because of his amnesia, he married a peasant woman among the common people. Not only did he live with that woman as husband and wife for several years, but they also had a child.
This is such a shame for Xie Junwen!
However, Xie Junwen also knew that the more this happened, the calmer she had to be. After all, no matter how bad the situation was, could it be worse than when the news of the prince's disappearance came?
The Queen looked at the Crown Princess with great distress: "Why are you so pitiful, child? Come on, stop crying. She is just a lowly peasant woman. If you really don't like her, your mother will help you get rid of her directly."
Of course, the queen was just talking. No matter how much she disliked the peasant woman, it was a fact that the peasant woman saved her son's life. The emperor had more than one son, the crown prince. There were many sons who were eyeing the position of crown prince. The crown prince's disappearance might have been the work of other princes.
And now that the crown prince has returned, those princes who have already entered the court, and their mothers behind them, are all keeping their eyes on the crown prince. If the queen were to deal with the peasant woman at this time, one can imagine what the consequences would be.
After all, how could those people let it go if there was a chance to discredit the prince?
"Mother," Xie Junwen was shocked, "You must not say that. No matter what, that peasant woman saved the prince. Moreover, she is pregnant with the prince's own flesh and blood!"
As she spoke, Xie Junwen burst into tears again: "I am the Crown Prince's consort, his first wife, so the Crown Prince's child is my child. Although I feel very sad, I will treat her well, whether because the peasant woman saved the Crown Prince's life or because she is pregnant with the Crown Prince's child."
No way. How could Xie Junwen let that bitch go after bringing such great humiliation to herself? If possible, Xie Junwen would make that bitch and the offspring born from that bitch live a life worse than death.
After all, it would be too easy for them to just let that bitch and her bastard be killed.
Of course, that bitch couldn't be allowed to give birth to the baby in her belly. Her child, Xie Junwen, had to be the prince's eldest son. So even if that bitch was pregnant with a girl, Xie Junwen had to get rid of her.
The Queen looked at Xie Junwen with more and more satisfaction, and at this moment, a eunuch came in and reported that Jiang Chunxi and her daughter were already waiting outside.
The Queen asked someone to help Xie Junwen wash and groom herself, and then had Jiang Chunxi and her daughter brought in.
"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Empress. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health." Jiang Chunxi kowtowed to the Empress with unfamiliar movements. This was something Tang Xiji had someone teach her when she was about to enter the palace.
