Yang Ruoqing said: "I really don't pay much attention to this. It's the second day of October? I'm already twenty-eight now, so aren't there only three or four days left?"

Yao said: "Yes, according to the etiquette in the past, at least once the candidate for the crown princess is determined, preparations for the wedding will be made, and the wedding will not be possible until the first month of next year at the earliest."

"Isn't this because of Emperor Qi's appearance? I heard that his condition is getting worse and worse, and he has become incontinent."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a filial man, so he ordered the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to keep everything simple and arrange the marriage first so that Emperor Qi can take a sip of the tea presented by his son and daughter-in-law." Yao said, smacking his lips.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Well, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has indeed worked hard. My wife also entered the palace early this morning. I guess she will bring an invitation back when she goes home."

Yao said: "The prince's wedding, will you go?"

Yang Ruoqing hesitated for a moment, and then Yao continued: "According to the rules, the imperial court's third-class royal wives are required to go, unless there are special circumstances."

Yang Ruoqing said: "I'll see when the time comes. The plan can't keep up with the changes. So you want to go too?"

Yao touched her belly and said, "I really want to go, but I'm afraid that the Duke of the country won't let me go."

Yang Ruoqing said: "He also cares about you."

Yao said: "I understand, so I will do whatever he arranges. Right now I just want to have a good pregnancy and give birth to the child smoothly."

"Oh, by the way, speaking of children, Mrs. Luo, I have a best friend who wants to meet you."

"Who is it?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Mrs. Yao said: "Mrs. Zhang, the wife of the eldest son of Anlehou Mansion."

"Mrs. the Crown Prince of Anlehou Mansion?" Yang Ruoqing changed her eyes. Isn't that the person from Anlehou Mansion who Zhuge Qing relied on as a backstage person?

Mrs. Yao noticed Yang Ruoqing's surprise and said, "Ms. Zhang is in the same situation as me. We all married into the capital from the lower states and counties as wives of these old and meritorious families."

"We all have the same hard life. After getting married for several years, we have nothing to do. However, I am a little luckier than Mrs. Zhang. I don't have any oppression from my parents-in-law."

"The concubines in the backyard are all useless, and the Zhang family is in pity. Su Ziqiang, the prince of Anlehou, is a lustful woman. He takes all the concubines to the mansion regardless of whether they smell good or smelly."

"Several concubines in the backyard, as well as the concubines, all gave birth to daughters, and the most beloved concubine, Zhuge Qing's sister Zhuge Hui, gave birth to two sons in one go."

"Marquis Anle and his wife Anlehou are old and stupid. They are so worried about the lack of grandchildren that they treasure the two grandsons born to me as if they are eyeballs."

"In this way, my poor best friend Zhang will be embarrassed in the house. Her husband really doesn't like it, her parents-in-law don't care, and she is still being suppressed by the concubine. If it weren't for Zhang's natal brother who is currently working in Huguang area,

The magistrate still has some foundation, otherwise, I'm afraid the position of this head wife will be in jeopardy!"

Yang Ruoqing did not comment on Yao's words.

In ancient times, there were three types of unfilial piety, the most serious of which was not having children.

As a woman, no matter how careful you are in your words and deeds and abide by the rules in your husband's family, as long as you have nothing to do and can't spread the branches and leaves of your husband's family and continue the incense, that is a sufficient reason to divorce you a hundred times.

And there is still no way to sue.

"This best friend of yours is really not in a good situation." Yang Ruoqing also said.

I have already guessed the purpose of Mrs. Yao's words. Most likely, he wants to help Mrs. Zhang and get her pregnant?

Sure enough, as soon as this thought came to his mind, Yao spoke.

"Mrs. Luo, you are my son-giving Guanyin, can you also help Mrs. Zhang?" Mrs. Yao begged.

"What, you have a good relationship with your besties?" Yang Ruoqing didn't rush to agree.

The more readily you agree, the more likely the other party will think it is a very simple matter.

You have to hesitate for a while so that the other person knows how hard it is, and their level of gratitude will increase.

Mr. Yao nodded repeatedly, "When we were young, our fathers worked in Chengdu. Before we were ten years old, Mrs. Zhang and I almost grew up together."

Yang Ruoqing also nodded, "I understand that you have a good relationship, but infertility itself is not an easy thing to cure."

"You are lucky. You are fine. You can just lose some weight. I am not completely sure about others. After all, the causes of infertility are very complicated, and I am not a professional. I still suggest you

It would be safer to help her make an appointment with the female doctor in the palace."

Mrs. Yao sighed, "The female doctor came to diagnose me because she was out of favor with the former Duke and Madam, but it would be difficult to treat Mrs. Zhang."

"And the Anlehou Mansion obviously doesn't have the luxury of hiring a female doctor who specializes in serving the queen and concubines..."

At this point, Mrs. Yao raised her head and begged Yang Ruoqing again: "Even if you are not 100% sure, then it is better to treat a dead horse as a living horse. What if God has mercy on her and she is pregnant? Then you are Mrs. Luo.

She is also the great benefactor of Anlehou Mansion!"

Yang Ruoqing curled her lips. If it were before, she would definitely disdain this kind of kindness.

But this time, she was willing to help Zhang.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If Zhang is pregnant and is favored, then Zhuge Hui will naturally fall out of favor.

Zhuge Hui fell out of favor, and Zhuge Qing's backers weakened.

The account books for tax evasion and tax evasion will at best allow Jingtian Restaurant to make up for the tax owed, and at worst, they will be fined more, which does not hurt the fundamentals.

Cutting off the dependence between Zhuge Qing and the Anlehou Mansion is a good way to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron.

Seeing Yang Ruoqing not agreeing for a long time, with a look of embarrassment on her face, Yao became even more anxious, stood up, took Yang Ruoqing's hand and begged again.

"Even if it can't be cured, it doesn't matter. Give it a try, okay?"

"Mrs. Luo, I beg you, Mrs. Zhang is alone in the capital. If she doesn't have a child, she will really be homeless in the future..."

"Hey!" Yang Ruoqing finally sighed, "Okay, we are all women, and you are talking about this again, so I will make an exception and try again. Whether it succeeds or not depends on Zhang's luck!"

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Yao was so excited that she almost jumped up.

"I'll make the arrangements. When the arrangements are made, I'll send someone to invite you, Mrs. Luo!" Yao said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "But you have to explain the stakes to Ms. Zhang clearly first, and tell her not to have too many expectations. If your expectations are too high, you will be equally disappointed, you know!"

Mrs. Yao nodded repeatedly: "I understand, of course I understand. Don't worry, Mrs. Luo, I will make it clear to her. Let's just get to know each other and make friends. For everything else, just do your best and let fate dictate."

"Well, that's very good!" Yang Ruoqing said.

In the evening, Da'an came back from the Hanlin Academy and brought back with Yang Ruoqing the good news of the prince's wedding on the second day of October.

Then Luo Fengtang came back, and he brought back three invitations.

"These two invitations were handed over to me by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself. He asked us to take Chen'er with us to the East Palace for a banquet."
