Chapter 165 : Ye Shi Gave Birth (1)

Back at the State Residence, when the group got off the carriage, except for Yuxi, who looked normal, Wu Shi and Qiu Yanfu had dark expressions, while Yurong’s eyes were red and swollen. It was obvious that she had been crying.

When Wu Shi noticed Yurong’s expression, her face turned dark even more. With so many people at the gate, added up with her already bad reputation in the State Residence, if she reprimanded Yuxi in front of so many maids and old women servants, it would stir another trouble for her. Moreover, Yuxi had the gift of the gab. If she reprimanded Yuxi, it was possible that Yurong’s reputation would also be tarnished. Based on these thoughts, Wu Shi didn’t say anything to Yuxi, but said to Yurong instead, “Go back!”

Yuxi returned to Taoran House with Zisu. This time, instead of immediately drilling herself into her study, Yuxi went into the clean room and after she had her bath, she immediately climbed into bed.

Seeing that Yuxi had fallen asleep, Zisu quietly retreated. Yuxi had this habit of not liking people to be around her, no matter whether she was reading or sleeping.

When Yuxi heard the door finally closed, she opened her eyes and looked at the top of the bed. Although she had no proof and her idea might be absurd, her sixth sense told her that Jiang Hongjin had married her because of Yuchen. It was because of his ill-intentions that he had ruined their marriage, in which it had made her suffer humiliation. Even her corpse ended up not looking properly intact.[+]This noob translation was translated by a noob translator, きつね. Please read this chapter at xin-shou.blogspot.com.

As Yuxi thought about the pain of being burnt by fire, as well as the despair and grief that she had felt, even if she lived another life, she would not be able to forget them. If she had the chance, she would definitely want to bring Jiang Hongjin down. If she didn’t get the chance, then she would have to leave him alone. After all, compared to the grudges and grievances she had in her past life, to live well in the present world was still the most important thing for her.

As she thought about this matter, she somehow fell asleep without even realising it.

At this time, Wu Shi was asking Yurong, “Did Yuxi bully you?”

Yurong didn’t nod or shake her head. “I said something wrong and was taught a lesson by Si Jiejie[+]si=fourth, jiejie=older sister. Mother, what’s wrong with you? I realise that your expression is not looking good.”

Although Yu Shi did not like Wu Shi’s conduct and bearing, she certainly did not show it on the surface, as that would be too degrading for her to do. What made Wu Shi uncomfortable was Qiu Yanfu. Madam Yang Shi, the wife of the new appointed Director of the Ministry of Revenue, whom she met earlier at the Jiang Residence, had implicitly stated that she had a nephew of the same age as Qiu Yanfu, who was also a bachelor.

Wu Shi also wanted to solve the great event in Qiu Yanfu’s life[+]usu. referring to marriage problem. After all, Qiu Yanfu was already sixteen this year and it was not a good idea to delay it any longer. Therefore, as soon as she saw the other party’s intention, she had checked that Madam Yang’s nephew had abandoned the official path and his family had a few assets, so she was a bit tempted. However, when Qiu Yanfu heard that the other party was now managing the prisons for the Ministry of Justice, she flatly refused. She said that the so-called managing prison of the Ministry of Justice was just a jailer and she did not want to marry a jailer.[T/N]What’s wrong of being a jailer? This girl…

Yurong had been studying with her nursing momo[+]wet nurse for the past two years. Thus, she was no longer as innocent as she was before. She had long known that it was impossible for Qiu Yanfu to marry into an official family. “Since biaojie[+]older female cousin from mother’s side is unwilling, so what kind of family does she want?”

Wu Shi shook her head and said, “When I asked her, she wouldn’t say anything. Who knows what she is looking for.” She now had some regrets. She shouldn’t have promised to bring Qiu Yanfu here. Because of Qiu Yanfu, she didn’t know how many faces she had lost.

When Wu Shi saw that Yurong had something to say, she stopped her as she said, “This is not something you should be worrying about. When you see Yuxi in the future, you should just let her go. She is just like a hedgehog. If you provoke her, it will be you who will be in pain.” As long as you don’t provoke that damned girl, that damned girl wouldn’t actively seek trouble with her, and then everyone could get along peacefully.

Yurong nodded and assured her, “Don’t worry, Mother. I won’t do it again.” She had just wanted to gossip today, but she had not expected to be reprimanded by Yuxi instead. Her mother was right, Han Yuxi was just like a hedgehog. Anyone who touched her would surely be pricked. So it was better to stay away from her in the future.

As the mother and daughter were talking, a maid came in and reported, “My Lady, Fifth Miss, the Third Miss has returned from the palace.”

Yurong felt uncomfortable in her heart. “She comes back whenever she wants to. What’s there to tell?” Now the whole State Residence only cared about Yuchen. While everyone else’s matters had been thrown into the nooks and crannies.

Wu Shi let the maid withdraw, and then spoke to Yurong,”Your San Jie[+]san=third, jie=older sister, short form for Jiejie has a bright future. You should take this opportunity to visit her more. It will only do you good and no harm once you have built a good relationship with her.” As far as Yuchen’s appearance and talent were concerned, she was also loved by Song Guifei[+]Noble Consort and the Gongzhu[+]Princess. It was not impossible for Yuchen to become a Prince’s Fei[+]Consort.

It wasn’t that Yurong didn’t want to get close to Yuchen. But ever since the lying incident, Yuchen had always been indifferent to her. Even if she wanted to get close, she didn’t have that thick skin to do so. “Mother, it’s not like you don’t know that San Jie[+]san=third, jie=older sister, short form for Jiejie doesn’t like us.”

Wu Shi felt that her previous actions had been too unwise. She wondered if it was too late for her to remedy the current situation.[T/N]Yup, it’s already too late, honey.

After Yuchen returned to the State Residence, the first thing that she did was to go to Taoran House, bearing gifts. When she entered Taoran House, she heard that Yuxi was still sleeping and hadn’t gotten up yet. Yuchen was very surprised. “How come Si Meimei[+]si=fourth, meimei=younger sister still asleep until now?” As far as Yuxi’s diligence was concerned, she couldn’t believe that Yuxi would sleep in. Did the sun just come out from the west?

Zisu explained, “Miss had gone to the Jiang family as a guest with my Lady this morning and she fell asleep immediately after she returned. Handmaiden reckons that Miss will wake up soon.” In fact, Zisu also found it strange. She had been following Yuxi throughout the day and nothing special had happened to Yuxi. Hence she didn’t understand why Yuxi would be too tired. Also, she felt that it was not good of her to mention these kinds of things to Yuchen.

Yuchen didn’t go back either, so she waited in the parlour. When she started to get bored, she said to Zisu, “Go to the study and bring me a book to read.”

Zisu went into the study and looked for a travel note, “Third Miss, will this one do for you?”

Yuchen was only using it to pass the time, thus it didn’t matter what type of book it was. She took the book, looked at it, and nodded a little. She then said, “Yes.”

After about a quarter of an hour, Yuxi finally woke up. When she heard that Yuchen had come to see her, she quickly got herself dressed up and walked out, while smilingly said, “I thought San Jie[+]san=third, jie=older sister, short form for Jiejie would stay in the palace for a while!”

Yuchen answered with a smile, “The Emperor has bestowed a wedding to the 9th Prince. Hence, Guifei Niangniang[+]addressing or referring to an empress or an imperial concubine has begun to get busy with the 9th Prince’s wedding. Therefore, it is not good for me to stay in the palace any longer.”

Yuxi only knew that Yu Xiyu was the 9th Prince’s Zheng Fei[+]Main Consort, but she really didn’t know when the Emperor sanctioned the marriage. “The Emperor bestowed a wedding to the 9th Prince? Is it to Xiyu Jiejie[+]older sister?”

Yuchen nodded and replied with a smile, “There have been rumours before, but now that the Imperial Edict has been issued, the matter has been nailed to the board with a nail[+]Chinese idiom : cannot be changed. The wedding date has also been set to the tenth lunar month next year. Now, the Imperial Clan Court has begun to get busy with the 9th Prince’s big wedding arrangements.” There were so many things needed to be prepared for when a Prince or a Gongzhu[+]Princess got married. A period of a little more over a year could be said to be barely enough.

When Yuxi waved her hand, all the servants inside the room withdrew, with Zisu considerately standing guard just outside the door. There were only two people left in the room before Yuxi said, “San Jie[+]san=third, jie=older sister, short form for Jiejie, what do you think the Emperor means? The Empress and the Crown Prince have been gone for six months already. How come the Emperor hasn’t made a single move yet?” The so-called no movement meant that the Emperor had not made Song Guifei[+]Noble Consort as the new Empress, nor had he made the 9th Prince as the Crown Prince. Of course, just by pulling one hair, the whole body would surely move[+]Chinese idiom : a slight change will affect everything else. If Song Guifei[+]Noble Consort had been installed as the new Empress, then the 9th Prince as the di[+]born from formal/legal wife eldest Prince would nail the board[+]Chinese idiom : can’t be changed as the new Crown Prince.

Yuchen also shook her head, “I’m not sure.” After saying that, she smiled and asked, “When did Si Mei[+]si=fourth, mei=younger sister become interested in national affairs?”

Yuxi told her the reason that she had prepared, “After the palace rebellion, some of the ladies and girls I met during the banquet have become prisoners in the blink of an eye. So it’s quite scary when I think about it. Therefore, I want to learn more about the affairs of the Imperial Court. At least in the future, I can be well informed and not be so helpless.” This was a very subtle statement, meaning that she was so sure that she would marry into an official family in the future. Hence, it was not good for her not to know matters that involved backyard affairs of the Imperial Court. If she was prepared now, she would not be caught unaware in the future.[+]This noob translation was translated by a noob translator, きつね. Please read this chapter at xin-shou.blogspot.com.

Yuchen smiled, “Si Meimei[+]si=fourth, meimei=younger sister is really thinking too far ahead. Meimei[+]younger sister don’t have to worry. The Emperor favours Guifei Niangniang[+]addressing or referring to an empress or an imperial concubine as always, and he also loves the 9th Prince.”

Yuxi remembered the last time she was at the Liuli Palace, where she had been frightened by the 9th Prince’s glance that her back sweat. It wasn’t good to pick a fight with this man either. “That’s good.”

The two spoke for a while before Yuchen eventually went back.

Zisu asked in a small voice, “Miss, right now, it is being said outside that His Highness the 10th Prince has taken a liking to the Third Miss and wants to marry her as his Fei[+]Consort. Do you think this rumour is reliable?”

Yuxi swept a glance at Zisu and said, “Since the Imperial Edict for sanctioning such marriage has not yet come, just consider the rumour as false. And don’t speak about this matter anymore in the future.”

Zisu nodded obediently.

That night, as Yuxi was practicing her calligraphy in the study, she heard Zisu knocking on the door. She put down her writing brush and said, “Come in!” Only when there was something urgent that she wouldn’t let other people to know about, she usually wouldn’t let others enter her study.

Zisu wouldn’t have come to bother Yuxi if she had nothing important to relay. She went into the study and reported, “Miss, I just got the news. Da Nainai[+]da=eldest, nainai=young mistress of the house is going to give birth.”

Yuxi softly let out a ‘oh’ and asked, “What else?” The matter regarding Ye Shi giving birth to her child has nothing to do with her. She could just go and have a look at her tomorrow morning.

When Zisu saw Yuxi’s calm attitude, she felt that she had just written a lengthy article on a small subject[+]Chinese idiom : make a big fuss over a minor issue. “What do Miss want to eat tonight? I’ll let the kitchen prepare it for you. ”

Yuxi thought for a while and then said, “Ask the kitchen to make a bowl of lotus root meatballs!” Now Yuxi felt that the lotuses in the lake were really useful since all parts of the plants could be eaten.

LOTUS ROOT MEATBALLS

It was only when Zisu walked to the door that Yuxi added, “Once Dasao[+]eldest sister-in-law has given birth, let me know.” It was important to know whether the baby was a boy or a girl.

Zisu thought Yuxi really didn’t care. After listening to Yuxi’s words, she smilingly said, “Miss, it hasn’t been long for Da Nainai[+]da=eldest, nainai=young mistress of the house to start to feel she is going to give birth. She won’t give birth that soon.”

Yuxi nodded and started to practice her calligraphy once more.

Even when Yuxi finally left her study, there was no news of Ye Shi’s delivery being successful. Yuxi muttered, “It’s not another difficult birth, is it?” Back then, Concubine Rong also had a difficult birth. Unfortunately, Concubine Rong’s luck wasn’t good. She had a difficult birth, where both mother and child ended up lost.

Not knowing what Yuxi was thinking, Zisu said, “I don’t think so. First child usually takes a little longer.”

Yuxi suddenly asked, “How is Er Jie[+]er=second, jie=older sister, short form for Jiejie recently?”

Zisu didn’t know that Yuxi’s thought would jump around like this. She just jumped from Da Nainai[+]da=eldest, nainai=young mistress of the house’s delivery to Second Miss in a matter of seconds. “Recently, Second Miss has been staying in her own yard, and she doesn’t come out very much. Her specific situation though is not clear to us.” They didn’t put any people in Yujing’s yard.

Yuxi went to bed with an ‘oh’. Before closing her eyes, she said to herself, “I hope she will give birth to a son!” If Ye Shi gave birth to a son, there would be fewer disputes in the State Residence. If the child was a daughter, there would be too much trouble after that. It was already rare for Yuxi to live a few days of leisure. She hoped she could live such a quiet life all the time and didn’t want any trouble to come on her way.
