Chapter 206 changed the fate of the Third Princess

The disappearance of Chaochao two years ago was the most devastating blow she ever suffered and one that she was completely unable to recover from.

Every night when she closes her eyes, all she can think about is the suffering Chaochao might endure; she can't calm down at all.

Therefore, she fully understood the feelings of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Tang family at this moment.

Chaochao never expected to have such symptoms after giving birth. "Back in Shangliu Village, when someone had a baby, it was a great thing. But I had never heard of mothers getting this kind of illness before. Nobody had ever mentioned it."

Jian Yunsang patted her head. "In ancient times, people had very little knowledge about this. Many people thought that if a woman was still crying and screaming hysterically after giving birth, it was because she was being delicate and pretentious. They thought, 'Which woman doesn't give birth? Everyone is fine. Why are you so difficult to take care of?'"

“It’s not something new mothers want to get depressed. It’s not just a bad mood; it’s a very serious mental illness. They’re already anxious and sleepless, but they also have to bear the blame from all sides and the pressure of taking care of their children. How can they not break down? Some people will hurt themselves, but some will also hurt their children.”

Chaochao couldn't help but hug Jian Yunsang's neck tightly, "Mom, you've worked so hard."

So those two women who wanted to provoke my cousin's wife were really wicked.

The people of Daqi under the sky couldn't help but frown slightly. Did they not know that there was such a thing as postpartum depression?
Many people think about the state of women around them who have just given birth. Some seem to be fine, but others undergo a drastic change in temperament.

"No wonder, my neighbor's wife cried every night after giving birth, and her husband even scolded and hit her, saying that she was affecting his sleep. It turns out she was sick."

“When my sister-in-law gave birth, she would get irritable whenever she saw anyone, and she would scream whenever she saw someone holding a baby. The village shaman even said that she was weak-willed and possessed by evil spirits, and that she needed to be exorcised. Fortunately, we didn’t believe it, and my sister-in-law gradually got better.”

"You know what, this kind of disease isn't something ordinary people like us get. I know a lady from a wealthy family who suddenly hanged herself not long after giving birth."

“I also know one. Her health was not good after she gave birth, and her husband was having affairs. In the end, she refused to take her medicine and died not long after.”

Even Emperor Jingxuan frowned. The Third Princess's mother seemed to have been emotionally unstable ever since giving birth. She would often wake up in the middle of the night, babbling and crying, scaring the other concubines in her palace away from sleeping.

The third princess, in particular, was born at that time and was often frightened awake and cried, which made her body weak.

Emperor Jingxuan then took the Third Princess to live with other concubines, but her mother's condition worsened. Finally, one night, she set fire to the palace where the princess was, burning herself to death inside.

Before he died, he sang a poem called "Changmen Fu," as if he were saying that the emperor was heartless and ruthless.

Emperor Jingxuan was so angry that he laughed on the spot, and later he also disliked the Third Princess.

Looking back now, she must have suffered from the depression mentioned in the story, and her condition was very serious and had not been relieved in time. In addition, his taking the third princess away made her condition worse and eventually led her to take extreme measures.

Thinking of this, Emperor Jingxuan couldn't help but sigh.

He asked Cao Qing behind him, "How is the Third Princess now?"

Cao Qing was taken aback, and replied in a low voice, "The Third Princess is with Consort Liu. Last time I saw her, she looked a little thin."

"Skinny?" Emperor Jingxuan frowned. "Has Consort Liu treated her badly?"

"That's not it." Consort Liu herself didn't have any children, and the Third Princess was a princess, so she had no reason to abuse a child and invite such displeasure. "It's just that according to the rules of the palace, Consort Liu's allowance is not high." It was already low, and in addition, neither Consort Liu nor the Third Princess were favored in the palace, so they were like invisible people.

Most people in the palace are sycophantic and prone to belittling others; it's common for them to secretly cut back on food and clothing.

Emperor Jingxuan quickly realized it was his oversight. He instructed Cao Qing, "Have someone go to the Imperial Kitchen to deliver a message that I will be having dinner with Consort Liu tonight. Prepare more of the Third Princess's favorite dishes."

Cao Qing hurriedly agreed, "Yes, this servant will give the order right away."

At the same time, the Empress Dowager also thought of the Third Princess's mother.

After all, that fire and the "Changmen Fu" poem from back then caused the emperor to suffer criticism for a long time.

Looking back now, it's clear they all neglected her postpartum mental health.

She sighed and said to her trusted nanny, "I am still thinking about changing the lives of women in this world who are living in poverty, so that their future paths can be smoother, but I have neglected the people around me. Send someone to deliver some things to the Third Princess."

The nanny agreed and returned shortly afterward, saying, "His Majesty has decreed that dinner will be served in Consort Liu's palace tonight."

The Empress Dowager was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's fine too."

After a moment of silence, she continued, "I remember Consort Yu is due to give birth in about a month. Tell her to be extra careful in this regard, especially after she gives birth. Also, remind me to give her the pair of jade bracelets from my storeroom later."

The old woman smiled and said, "Her Majesty is kind and benevolent."

At this moment, neither Emperor Jingxuan nor the Empress Dowager expected that the conversation between Chaochao and Jian Yunsang in the sky would not only change their attitude towards the Third Princess, but also change the Third Princess's life.

While they were still looking at the sky, Jian Yunsang had already carried Chaochao up to the second floor.

However, they did not see the eldest daughter-in-law of the Tang family in the original living room. Just as they were looking for her, the eldest sister-in-law of the Tang family came over.

"Sister-in-law," Jian Yunsang addressed Tang Muhan, "I'd like to take Chaochao to see the baby, is that convenient?"

Tang's eldest sister-in-law smiled and said, "It's convenient. They're in the small reception room. I'll take you there."

There is a living room on the second floor, and a small sitting room. The latter is not very big, but it is close to the bedroom, so some baby supplies are placed there.

At this moment, Ren Zhenzhen, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Tang family, was here. There was a basket next to her, and the baby had just taken a nap and was now waving his arms and legs excitedly.

The small reception room has no door; you can see it just around the corner.

Just as Tang's eldest sister-in-law led Jian Yunsang and her daughter to the door, they heard voices coming from inside.

It sounds like someone is gossiping with Ren Zhenzhen.

"...You have no idea how arrogant she used to be. I never expected that her husband would cheat on her right after she gave birth. He always said he was busy with work, but he was actually out having an affair. He even said that his wife's figure was bad after giving birth, her complexion was bad, and she was too slovenly, so he no longer felt anything for her."
