Long Live the Empress

Chapter 216 A chill down the spine

The old lady already knew about it when Aunt Su and Yue Jinghong returned home, but no matter how long she waited, the two of them still didn't come to pay their respects.

"Madam, the second young lady and her family went to the young master's courtyard..." a little maid reported.

The old lady frowned slightly, and went to Yue Tianhong's yard as soon as she came back. It was either a happy event or a bad event! Yue Jinghao was named the county lord today, which must not be a happy event for them. Could it be that they were discussing how to deal with Yue Jinghao? That's not possible! Through these few events, the old lady saw the value of Yue Jinghao to the Yue Mansion. She would not allow anyone to hurt Yue Jinghao and ruin the future of the Yue Mansion!

"Madam, the second young lady and Aunt Su are here!" The little maid at the door diligently opened the curtain for the two of them and invited them in.

When the old lady looked up, she saw Aunt Su's smug look and Yue Jinghong's arrogance.

"I pay my respects to the old lady~" Aunt Su nodded slightly while sitting in the wheelchair, which was considered as paying her respects to the old lady.

Yue Jinghong, supported by two maids, was about to perform the ceremony, but was stopped by Aunt Su, "Jinghong! You are not feeling well, so you don't have to perform the ceremony!"

Yue Jinghong did not answer, but just looked at the old lady with a blushing face.

Aunt Su quickly added: "The old lady is the most reasonable person, she will never blame you for being rude! Right, old lady~"

The old lady didn't know what happened yet, but was choked by Aunt Su. She could only ask: "You were fine when you left, why are you in poor health when you come back?"

Aunt Su smiled and covered her lips: "Old Madam, you don't know yet! Our second young lady has won great honor for the Yue family..."

Aunt Su deliberately stopped talking and secretly observed the old lady's expression. As expected, the old lady was immediately interested. "Oh? Tell me quickly!"

Aunt Su did not answer the old lady's words first. Instead, she asked the maid to help Yue Jinghong sit down carefully, and then ordered someone to bring a soft pillow and put it on Yue Jinghong's waist... After everything was arranged, Aunt Su slowly replied: "Today, the emperor has issued an edict to appoint our second young lady as the crown prince..."

When the old lady heard this, she was immediately overjoyed! Yue Jinghao lost the position of Crown Princess in the past, could it be that Yue Jinghong was named Crown Princess today?

Just when the old lady was overjoyed, she heard Aunt Su say, "She has become the prince's concubine! Haha!"

What? The old lady's eyes widened in disbelief, and she looked at the complacent Aunt Su, "Concubine? You want Jinghong to be someone else's concubine?"

Aunt Su stopped laughing when she saw the old lady's bad tone. She only revealed a hint of pride in her words, "Although she is a concubine, she is still the prince's concubine! Even the wives of the civil and military officials can't compare to her! Besides, this is only temporary. Next spring, our second young lady will definitely become the crown princess of our Wei country!"

"Why have to wait until next spring?" The old lady didn't quite understand what Aunt Su said. If the emperor intended to make Yue Jinghong the Crown Princess, he should have done it today. Why had to wait until next spring?

Aunt Su seemed to be waiting for the old lady to ask this question! As soon as the old lady finished speaking, Aunt Su laughed. "Oh, old lady, you don't know yet, do you? Our second young lady is really amazing. She already has the prince's flesh and blood! When the little prince is born next spring, he will be the eldest grandson of our Wei Kingdom!"

"What?" The old lady's eyes went dark after hearing Aunt Su's words, and she almost fainted. "Jinghong...she is pregnant?"

"Isn't it? It's been more than five months! Old lady, isn't the second young lady very amazing?" Aunt Su laughed with her hands covering her lips again, and the old lady felt a chill down her spine from laughing so hard.

The old lady stared at Yue Jinghong's flat belly, "Jinghong...is this true?"

Yue Jinghong blushed and nodded, "The prince said that my granddaughter's concubine status is only temporary! When the eldest grandson is born, I will be appointed as the crown princess~"

The old lady never thought that Yue Jinghong would do something so immoral right under her nose. It was true that a concubine's daughter would never be able to be raised to a decent position! Such a thing was even publicized in public. It was simply shameless!

The old lady looked at the two of them with smugness, and felt so angry that her heart ached. Now that the imperial decree had been issued, she was afraid that everyone in the Wei Kingdom would know about the scandal of the second young lady of the Yue Mansion. What should she do...

While the old lady was thinking, Yue Yuyan came back...
