"Multiple people saw Ji Fufeng jump into the water again, and they were all shocked. They secretly thought that this woman was truly fierce."
Yongning Marquess's wife was also shocked, and upon realizing the situation, she frantically ordered her servants to dive in and save the person.
"My child, why are you thinking of such a thing? Why would you want to take your own life?"
"Puff!"
"Splash!"
......
Several slave boys who could swim nearby jumped into the lotus pond to save the person.
The Consort of the Third Prince turned ashen, her handkerchief twisted up and down continuously. At this moment, she felt as if she had swallowed Ji Fufeng's heart.
Scoundrel, you are truly shameless.
You want to enter the residence of the Third Prince, then go ahead. I'll see how this Third Prince's Consort will deal with you later.
Yu Yao was watching from the sidelines.
She couldn't tell if it was because the sun was too fierce or if she had worn too many clothes, but she suddenly felt a bit hot.
She reached up and tugged at her high collar, mainly because the neck restraint was too tight, making her a bit uncomfortable.
This was a purely instinctive action, and she had forgotten about the red marks on her neck.
With her pull, the red marks on her neck were exposed, left there by Nan Gongyang last night.
As everyone was watching the commotion, no one was paying attention to her, so few people saw it.
Prince Nangong Mo stood silently in front of the artificial mountain, with his hands carelessly arranged, and his entire figure obscured by the shadow of the artificial mountain. Together with a dark purple cape, he looked more restrained and cold, dignified and graceful.
Though he claimed to be watching the commotion, his gaze occasionally drifted towards Yu Yao.
Suddenly, she saw an exceptionally noticeable red mark on her snow-white and delicate neck.
Nangong Mo was momentarily stunned. He already had the princess of the East Palace and had many concubines in the East Palace, so he knew exactly what it was.
"Ah, no wonder she was wrapped up so tightly; now I see."
His side corner twitched, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
His gaze wandered over to the Nan Gongyang next to her, furrowing his brows slightly, and suddenly, he began to dislike him.
He wasn't looking in that direction either; he simply turned his gaze away.
Here, Nan Gongyang noticed that Yu Yao was tugging at her own collar, and knew that she must be feeling hot.
He looked up at the sky, where the bright sun shone down, and it was nearly noon. It was May, and the temperature had begun to rise gradually.
No wonder she felt hot.
He took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away the thin sweat on her forehead with a gentle tone, saying, "The sun is so fierce. Let's sit in the pavilion for a while."
Yu Yao turned her head to look at him, thinking it was indeed getting hot, and nodded slightly. She then walked to the pavilion in the landscape garden to rest with Nan Gongyang.
Nangong Mo certainly noticed. Seeing their intimate actions and their figures walking away together, his thin lips tightened.
Suddenly, he felt a sudden sense of annoyance, and lost the desire to watch the commotion.
He turned around and greeted King Jin, then left with his people in a hurry.
Seeing the prince suddenly leave in a hurry, everyone looked at each other in surprise.
But they didn't dwell on it, only thinking that Ji Fufeng's sudden display had made the prince unhappy.
Even the Lady of Yongning Marquess was thinking this way, and her heart couldn't help but beat a little faster.
The Yongning Marquis' mansion was already in decline; if they further annoyed the prince, how would they manage in the future?
Seeing that the husband had gone, the Princess of the East Palace naturally would not stay here any longer. She apologized to Queen Jin and also left.
Ji Fufeng was quickly pulled out of the water by the slaves and immediately taken to the pavilion nearby.
Queen Jin ordered someone to bring the palace doctor, who carefully examined Ji Fufeng.
"Reporting to Her Majesty, the lady-in-waiting, Ji Girl is just a few swallows of water and has already coughed it up. There is no danger now, and she will be fine after a few days of rest."
The palace doctor stood up and respectfully addressed Queen Jin.
Queen Jin breathed a sigh of relief and then sent the palace doctor away.
Lady of Yongning Marquess held Ji Fufeng and began to cry, "My foolish daughter, why are you so foolish? Even if you can't enter the residence of the Third Prince, the Yongning Marquis' mansion will take care of you. Why do such a thing?"
The Consort of the Third Prince's face was extremely ugly. Even if she didn't want Ji Fufeng to enter the residence, she couldn't refuse now.
If Ji Fufeng were to truly die, she might be criticized for being vengeful.
The Third Prince had already changed into clean clothes, and he was aware of what had happened here.
He didn't like Ji Fufeng, nor did he like women who were overly calculated.
The reason for jumping into the water to save her was simply that he didn't recognize who it was, and seeing someone fall into the water, he instinctively jumped in to save them.
At this moment, seeing Ji Fufeng trying to kill herself, his inner feelings towards her grew two more dislike.
But he did not express any opinion, merely saying that Ji Fufeng should take care of her health first.
Due to Ji Fufeng's commotion, the flower-viewing banquet had to be prematurely ended, and the guests who had come were also leaving in a gradual manner.
The lively Jing Mansion suddenly became empty, with only maids and servants left to clean up.
Emperor Qiming also heard about the incident at the Jing Mansion.
He was originally not a fan of the Yongning Marquis' household, especially the daughter of the Yongning Marquis who dared to disturb the flower-viewing banquet of the Jing Princess, and she should be punished severely.
No one knew that Jing Princess was the start of Emperor Qiming's irritation.
Ji Fufeng's actions had indeed drawn Emperor Qiming's disapproval.
He directly issued an edict, which, in summary, stated that Ji Fufeng, the daughter of the Yongning Marquis, had a pure heart and had deliberately sought to associate with the prince. Her moral character was questionable, and she was unfit to be a consort. She could only enter the residence of the Third Prince as a servant, and would never be promoted.
What is a concubine? It's an expendable object. The mistress can dispose of or kill them at will.
She was also no longer eligible to be listed on the Jade Butterfly.
Although the Yongning Marquis' household has declined, their status as a nobility still exists.
Even though the Third Prince had a principal wife, the concubine position was still vacant, and there was also that eligibility.
At the very least, becoming a secondary consort wouldn't be too unattractive.
Now, she has become the lowest of the low, even if she has a child, she won't have the qualifications to raise it.
And she would never be promoted, effectively cutting off her path in the future.
Ji Fufeng became the laughingstock of the entire capital city for a time.
Let's not mention how the Yongning Marquis' household felt angry.
But when Ji Fufeng received the imperial edict, she fainted on the spot.
Upon hearing the news, Yu Wan suddenly felt a lot more balanced in her heart. She wasn't doing well herself, and seeing others in trouble made her happy.
But upon thinking about Yu Yao's prosperity, she couldn't help but show a gloomy expression.
She thought that Yu Yao would live a life of widowhood after marrying into the Jing Mansion, following in her previous life's footsteps, and from then on, she would live a bitter life.
Little did she know that it was nothing like that at all.
In fact, her husband was doting on her, her mother-in-law was doting on her, and even the father-in-law treated Yu Yao with a smile and great respect.
“Damn it, Yu Yao that harlot is really so lucky. Even if she steals her fortune, she can still live a dignified life. Why?”
Yu Wan's hands were tightly clenched, the sharp nails digging into her flesh, and her expression was dark and somber.
Yu Wan's thoughts were unknown to Yu Yao.
One day, when she was having lunch with Nan Gongyang, there was a dish of braised fish in front of her. The smell of the fish made her vomit involuntarily.
Nan Gongyang was so scared that he quickly asked for the palace doctor to come over.
Yu Yao knew what was going on. She discretely touched her belly, silently calculating the time. It should be two months now.
Fortunately, the Jing Mansion is clean, so it doesn't matter when it comes out.
The palace doctor hurried over with his medicine box, examining Yu Yao carefully.
Then, he happily bowed and said to Nan Gongyang: "Congratulations, Your Highness. The Princess is pregnant."
"Really?"
Nan Gongyang looked at Yu Yao's belly with a look of surprise, his eyes shining brightly.
"Are they going to have a child? That's great."
"Yes, it is true. Looking at the pulse of the princess, it has been more than two months."
The palace doctor ran his fingers through his graying beard, smiling warmly as he said.
Nan Gongyang was stunned. He and Yu Yao had only been married for two and a half months, so does that mean she got pregnant on their honeymoon night?
Then, he remembered that since their wedding day, they had been messing around almost every night, and had several times a day.
Especially lately, they had been getting more and more wild in their antics...
He remembered last night. The two of them had kicked out the servants and slaves in the prince's courtyard, and then they had done it on the swing in the courtyard...
With this thought, Nan Gongyang was scared.
"Palace doctor, please check again. Is the child in Yu Yao's belly healthy?"
He urgently addressed the palace doctor.
Seeing the serious and nervous expression of the prince, the palace doctor had no choice but to examine her again.
In the end, the palace doctor bowed again and said to Nan Gongyang, "Reporting to Your Highness, the princess's pregnancy is going well, and there is nothing wrong with the fetus."
Nan Gongyang listened and finally breathed a sigh of relief, as well as putting his heart at ease.
But soon after, his face turned strange, and he couldn't help but mutter: "This child is really sturdy."
Yu Yao happened to hear that, and she smiled involuntarily, then couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She took the dragon and phoenix pill when eating the long and phoenix pill, and naturally, this child was sturdy.
Otherwise, she would not have dared to be so messy with Nan Gongyang.
The palace doctor also realized what was going on and then was left feeling amused and bewildered.
Knowing that there was nothing wrong, Nan Gongyang sent the palace doctor away.
