Chapter Seventy

The evidence in Chu Xiuming's hands was enough, although he wanted to sweep those people away, but he also knew that it was impossible, Liang Cheng was a close confidant of Emperor Cheng, and the people above him were also Emperor Cheng's confidants, so Chu Xiuming had to grasp a degree, how to make Emperor Cheng feel painful but within the range of tolerability.

So Chu Xiuming is very busy, he still has to finish things as much as possible in the morning, good afternoon to go back to accompany his wife, not Shen Jin's request, in fact, for Shen Jin there is Grandma Zhao in the morning, it is enough to see Chu Xiuming at night, but Chu Xiuming feels that he left when Shen Jin just found out that she was pregnant, just like Shen Jin said, she came back after her stomach was bigger, and she felt indebted in her heart, not compensation, but wanted to be better for Shen Jin.

Compared with Chu Xiuming, Shen Jin had nothing to do all day, every day when he woke up, he ate, played with Xiao Bu for a while, and then waited for Fu Jun to come back and eat lunch together, and after eating, Shen Jin went for a walk with Fu Jun, and then Shen Jin went back to listen to Fu Jun talk about the art of war and take a nap.

When Shen Jin fell asleep, Chu Xiuming went to discuss things with his subordinates, and then estimated the time, went to wake up his little lady and accompany her for a walk, and when the little lady was tired, he brought people back.

"Huh?" With Chu Xiuming spoiled, and Grandma Zhao and others carefully taking care of him, Shen Jin always felt that he was not as smart as when he was in the Rui King's Mansion, so when he heard Anping's words, he was stunned before he reacted to who Li Shi was, "Born, is it a boy or a girl?" ”

"Back to Madame, it's a boy." Anping said, "Do you want to call in the annunciators?" ”

Shen Jin thought for a moment and nodded, "Well, is the gift ready?" As he spoke, he looked at Grandma Zhao.

Grandma Zhao said, "It's ready." ”

"Oh." Shen Jin always felt that something was wrong, but for a moment he didn't want to come, took a sip of water from the cup and said, "Then when I finish asking, let the person who gave the gift go back with this person." ”

Aunt Zhao responded and said, "The old slave will check again." ”

"Okay." Shen Jin nodded and put the cup back on the table.

An Ping spoke, "The slave maid went and brought the man up." ”

Shen Jin nodded again, and when there was an Anning and a few small girls left in the room, he suddenly asked, "I still think something is wrong." ”

Anning asked, "What does Madame think is wrong?" ”

"I can't remember." Shen Jin touched his stomach and sat up, "Forget it, it shouldn't matter." ”

AnNing saw that Shen Jin had figured it out on her own, so she didn't say more, just sorted out the blanket covering her legs, and then helped Shen Jin put on her shoes, and stood aside, Anping quickly brought people up, and it was Actually Xu Bianfei's mother Li who came, and when she saw Li's mother Shen Jin, she smiled and directly stepped off her shoes and said, "If Anping had told me that Mother Li had come, I wouldn't have had to wear shoes." ”

Mother Li smiled and said, "Looking at the county lord's appearance so good, the side concubine is also relieved." ”

Shen Jin nodded and said, "How is my mother?" ”

"Concubine Bian has been busy these days, and the rest is fine." Mother Li said.

Shen Jin sighed and said, "By the way, Li's child is born, no wonder the mother is busy." ”

After Mother Li said something about the child, she said, "Concubine Bian took the time to make some small clothes during this time, and Ben said that she had taken the time to send them to the county lord in the past few days, and it just so happened that today she had good news, and the old slave invited an errand to come over." ”

Shen Jin urged, "Bring it to me quickly." ”

Mother Li smiled and responded, Anping let the little girl waiting outside come in, she held a bag in both hands, Anping took it and put it next to Shen Jin, and then opened it, and saw that inside were small clothes and small shoes, and tiger head hats, touching soft, Shen Jin took small shoes in his hand and compared it, then took the hat and looked at it, and finally carried the clothes and laughed, "So small." ”

"Because of the Lee thing, these things have not yet had time to be washed." Mother Li looked at Shen Jin's appearance and was full of comfort.

Shen Jin nodded and said, "Anping, you put it away and come back to talk to Grandma Zhao." ”

"Yes." Anping carefully wrapped things up.

Shen Jin looked at the little girl who was holding the bag and said, "Anping took people down to drink some hot soup to warm up, and then brought a bowl of hot soup to Mother Li, and sat on Mother Li, I have been forgetting things lately." ”

Mother Li did not care about these small things at all, and besides, Chen Bianfei often lamented in the house that others were pregnant for three years, and her own daughter was stupid enough, and if she was stupid, it would not be three years, and thanks to Chu Xiuming, she did not mind.

After Mother Li sat down, Shen Jin asked, "Mother Li, did you say that your brother was beautiful when he was a child or was I more beautiful when I was a child?" ”

Mother Li smiled and said, "Naturally the county lord is beautiful, and the county lord has grown white and tender not long after he was born." ”

Shen Jin was satisfied, Anding came out holding a jin box, and Shen Jin said, "This is the golden lock that Fu Jun and I prepared for my brother." ”

Mother Li took it with both hands and said, "The old slave will hand it over to concubines." ”

Shen Jin nodded, thought about it suddenly and asked, "Wait, why do I think it's not yet the day of Li's production?" Is Lee okay? Mother Li said that Concubine Chen said about the child, but did not mention the matter of Li at all, Shen Jin listened to it for half a day before reacting, and remembered why she had just felt wrong.

Mother Li said, "There was a little accident, so the day of Li's launch was advanced." ”

Shen Jin looked at Mother Li with a surprised face, and Mother Li said, "The Third Young Master somehow found the pair of cups that Yong Ningbo gave to Wang Ye, and it just so happened that Wang Ye returned, and the Third Young Master broke the cups by mistake." ”

"He's out of luck." Shen Jin said affirmatively, anyway, the cup was not sent out by her, Shen Jin did not feel any pain, hugged his stomach and changed his posture, and said, "How was the father king's face at that time?" ”

"It's a pity the old slave doesn't know." Mother Li said, "But I heard that even Princess Rui was alarmed." ”

"But how did it have to do with Li Shi again?" Shen Jin was even more confused.

Mother Li sighed and said, "I don't know what the Third Young Master thinks, or someone said something around him, thinking that he was punished because li had a child in his belly, he is not the youngest in the house, wang ye does not like him, so after seeing Li shi, he pushed her..."

Shen Jin was stunned for a moment before he exclaimed, "Ah..." Li Shi was really innocent of disaster.

Mother Li nodded, and after saying a few more words, she said goodbye, it was Anping who went to send it, and as soon as Mother Li left, the smile on Shen Jin's face disappeared, and suddenly asked, "How long is there for lunch?" ”

"Madame is hungry?" An Ning looked at Shen Jin's look and asked with some concern.

Shen Jin shook his head, but did not say anything more, but the whole person lay on his side on the noble concubine's bed, touching his stomach with one hand, Anding took the small quilt to cover Shen Jin, and asked, "Madame is not comfortable?" Or did the slave call the doctor? ”

"No, I'll take a break." Shen Jin whispered.

An Ning also stopped speaking, there was some worry in his heart, and when An Ping came in, he talked to An Ping, went out to find Grandma Zhao in the kitchen, whispered a few words, Grandma Zhao frowned, and said, "I know, you and Yue Wen went to catch up and asked if there was something wrong with that Li Clan." ”

"Yes." An Ning responded and quickly went to call Yue Wen, who had been brought out by Chu Xiuming and had stayed with Shen Jin since he came to the capital.

Grandma Zhao did not go in immediately, but waited for the jade bean cake to come out of the pot, so she put the snack inside the food box and carried it to the house, after entering, she saw Shen Jin slightly curled her legs and lying on the concubine bed, looking at the plum branches inserted in the porcelain bottle not far away, her eyes were a little confused and she didn't know what she was thinking, Grandma Zhao nodded at Anping, Anping took the food box aside, and brought out the jade bean cake inside, Grandma Zhao said gently, "Madam, the pastries that just came out of the pot, do you want to taste it?" ”

Shen Jin pursed his lips and said, "I don't want to eat it." ”

Aunt Zhao asked AnPing to bring the cake over and put it in front of Shen Jin, and she saw Shen Jin's nose move, and after taking a look, she said, "Let's eat a little." ”

It seems that the problem is not very serious, Grandma Zhao was relieved in her heart, helped Shen Jin to sit up, and then covered her with a quilt, which put the cake aside, and then went to twist the cloth towel to give Shen Jin a clean hand, Shen Jin pinched a piece of cake to eat, and asked, "Mama, do you think it will hurt to have a child?" ”

"It's going to hurt a little." Grandma Zhao said, "But Madame don't worry, the general has prepared everything thoroughly, and specially invited the doctor to the palace." ”

"Oh." Shen Jin thought about it and nodded, and after eating two pieces, he didn't use it anymore.

Mother Li they did not go far, and they carried something, so Yue Wen and An Ning quickly caught up, Mother Li sighed and told Anning everything, "Princess Wang and Concubine Li don't want the county lord to know about this matter, for fear of affecting her." ”

An Ning said, "Mother Li is relieved, just looking at Madame's look is not right, I am afraid that she guessed something, so I came to ask." ”

Mother Li nodded, "Shire Lord... The mind has always been delicate, and it is also the old slave who has exposed the horse's feet. ”

An Ning comforted, "When Yong Ningbo returns, the slave maid will tell Yong Ningbo about the matter when the time comes, and with Yong Ningbo here, the lady will be fine." ”

Mother Li didn't say anything more, and seeing that Anning had nothing to ask, she took the people and left first.

Yue Wen couldn't help but frown and said, "What is this all about?" ”

An Ning didn't know how to say it well, if it was possible, I thought that neither Princess Rui nor Concubine Chen would want Shen Jin to know, but the matter of Tianding in the Rui King's Mansion could not be hidden, if only Shen Jin did not know, I am afraid it would be even worse, so the person who came to report the letter only said the child and Concubine Chen, who knows that even so, it was still seen by the lady.

When the two people returned, their hearts were a little heavy, Yue Wen waited outside, and when Anning went in, she returned to her usual appearance, and Grandma Zhao saw Anning, her eyes flashed, and asked, "What does Madame want to use at noon?" ”

Shen Jin said, "Get some sour soup noodle leaves." ”

"Okay." Aunt Zhao smiled and responded, "That old slave went to prepare." ”

Shen Jin nodded and said, "Anping, you bring me some fine cotton cloth." ”

"Yes." An Ping responded.

"Be softer." Shen Jin demanded.

Anping wrote it down, so he went down to get something, Anning touched the cup, found that the water was a little cold, so he poured the cup and poured it into it warmly.

When Grandma Zhao arrived at the door, she saw Yue Wen and nodded at Yue Wen, and Yue Wen followed Grandma Zhao to the side and told Grandma Zhao everything That Mother Li said, and Grandma Zhao sighed, "This matter... You went to the door to guard, the general came back to tell the general about the matter, the lady seemed to have guessed something, and was in a bad mood. ”

"Yes." Yue Wen responded and immediately left.

Aunt Zhao went into the kitchen, let the cook lady fight with her, and began to make the sour noodle leaves that Shen Jin wanted to eat.

Chu Xiuming's daily return hours were almost fixed, so it didn't take long for Yue Wen to see Chu Xiuming and whispered the matter again, Chu Xiuming frowned and nodded without saying anything more.

When Chu Xiuming came in, he saw that Shen Jin was already half leaning on the cushion, holding a piece of cloth in his hand and sewing something, the moment he saw Chu Xiuming, Shen Jin did not bear it, directly red eyes looked at him, with tears in his eyes, like an abandoned small animal, Chu Xiuming could not help but feel soft in his heart, walked over and reached over and touched Shen Jin's head, "I went to change clothes." He had just returned from outside, and the cold air on his body was not good enough to lean too close to Shen Jin.

Shen Jin put down the things in his hand, dragged Chu Xiuming's hand, and shook it gently, and Chu Xiuming said, "Is it okay to accompany me?" ”

"Okay." Shen Jin was a little happier, and carefully got up and followed Chu Xiuming to the inner room, "Fu Jun, Today Mother Li is here." ”

An Ning and An Ping accompanied Shen Jin to the door of the inner room, and they did not go in again, and when Shen Jin followed Chu Xiuming inside, he also carefully closed the door.

"It's your mother-in-law's side, and I think it's your mother-in-law who misses you." Chu Xiuming did not smile on the outside, but in front of Shen Jin, it would not be so, subordinates and women, outsiders and insiders, Chu Xiuming was very clearly divided.

Shen Jin responded, and when Chu Xiuming changed his clothes, he stretched out his hands to look at Chu Xiuming, Chu Xiuming took his little lady into his arms and hugged her to the soft bed on the side, Shen Jin grabbed Chu Xiuming's hand and said, "I also think that my mother misses me, or I will not let Mother Li go this trip." ”

Chu Xiuming replied, "When the weather is better, I will accompany you back to visit your mother-in-law." ”

Shen Jin thought about it and shook his head and said, "Mother now has to take care of her brother." ”

Chu Xiuming leaned on the cushion behind him and let Shen Jin sit in his arms, now even Chu Xiuming could not fully wrap around Shen Jin's waist, his hands were on her stomach, the temperature of his stomach was higher, "In the heart of my mother-in-law, you are the most important." ”

"I feel the same way." Shen Jinyan laughed, "But the thought of my brother is a few months older than our children..."

Chu Xiuming found that Shen Jin suddenly did not say anything, he understood what Shen Jin was worried about in his heart, but at this time he was waiting for his little lady to speak out those worries in his heart, only in this way could he better comfort her.

Shen Jin grabbed Chu Xiuming's hand, pinched his fingers, his voice trembled a little, and said, "Fu Jun, is Li Shi not... Is it gone? ”

"Okay." Chu Xiuming was not prepared to hide.

Shen Jin bit his lower lip and lay on his side in Chu Xiuming's arms, his face resting on his chest, "Husband, I'm so scared..."

"I want to give birth to my husband, many, many children, like my husband, like mine, like the two of us... I want to watch my children grow up with my husband, watch them marry and have children... I want to become old and white with my husband. Shen Jin cried quietly, she never cried like others, but whispered sobs, weakly as if she had been discovered, "Husband, do you think I will..."

"No." Before Shen Jin could speak, Chu Xiuming interrupted her, "I won't let you have an accident." ”

Shen Jin buried his head in Chu Xiuming's arms, and his whole body was trembling, "But what if there is anything?" ”

Pregnant people, Yi Duosi, this is also the reason why Grandma Zhao is reluctant to let Shen Jin know that Li Jin has an accident, after all, Li And Shen Jin's days are too close, that is, when they meet Chu Xiuming, Li's things not only touch Shen Jin, that is, after Shen Qi knows, her heart is also uneasy, but her uneasiness cannot be said to her husband, because she can't understand yongle waiting for the world, although it will comfort, but more is that Shen Qi thinks too much.

And Chu Xiuming will not, because he knows Shen Jin, a lifelong such a Shen Jin, his petite little lady, many people feel that marrying Chu Xiuming is Shen Jin's blessing, but they do not know that in Chu Xiuming's heart, marrying Shen Jin is also a kind of redemption for him, Shen Jin is his family, is his mother, is the mother of his children, is the woman who wants to be with him all his life.

Chu Xiuming lowered his head and kissed his own mother, changed her posture to make her sit more comfortably, and gently caressed her back with his hand and said, "There will be no case, don't you believe me?" ”

"But..." Shen Jin raised his head, and his dark and moist eyes looked at Chu Xiuming, and tears kept falling, "But it's not you who gave birth to a child." ”

Chu Xiuming lowered his head and kissed the tears from the corners of Shen Jin's eyes and said, "I will accompany you, so don't be afraid." ”

Shen Jin's lips trembled slightly, he sucked in his nose, and said with an accusatory face, "No." ”

"Huh?" Chu Xiuming looked at Shen Jin with some doubt.

Shen Jin squeezed the palm of Chu Xiuming's hand with his hand and said, "Mother said that you can't come in when you give birth to a child, it's unlucky..." Speaking of this, he became more and more accusatory, "Obviously the child is the two of us, why should I be inside, but you can't go in." ”

Chu Xiuming was amused, grabbed Shen Jin's troublesome hand and said, "I will go in and accompany you." ”

Shen Jin's eyes showed joy, his fingers moved, and when he saw that he couldn't draw it out, he wouldn't make a fuss, "What did my mother say?" ”

Chu Xiuming lowered his head and kissed Shen Jin's nose and said, "I said to my mother-in-law. ”

Shen Jin's face was obviously full of joy, but he said solemnly, "You can't let your mother say me." ”

"How can my mother-in-law give it up?" Chu Xiuming's voice was particularly gentle, although Concubine Chen often said that Shen Jin was naughty, so that she was more sensible, and more was said to herself.

Shen Jin suddenly said, "But my mother said that you can't take a bath when you are a confinement child..." Shen Jin was full of hesitation, "Will you dislike me?" ”

Chu Xiuming saw that Shen Jin wanted to open up on his own, and he stopped mentioning those unhappy things and said, "What do you think?" ”

"Yes." Shen Jin pulled out his hand, grabbed Chu Xiuming's hand and began to bite it, it didn't hurt, but it itched, "I myself feel so disgusted..."

Chu Xiuming kissed Shen Jin's earlobe and said, "I will accompany you." ”

"Don't take a shower with me?" Shen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming with a look of disgust and asked with some hesitation, "Don't you want it?" Somehow Shen Jin thought of the beard on his face when he first saw Chu Xiuming, and he hugged his stomach and began to laugh again.

"But I heard that many things can't be eaten during confinement." When Shen Jin thought of this, he forgot about those fears.

Chu Xiuming kissed Shen Jin's finger and said, "I accompany you, I eat what you eat." ”

Shen Jin was satisfied, but in the end, the distressed husband said, "But you can secretly eat behind my back." ”

"No." Chu Xiuming assured.

Chu Xiuming saw his little lady's smile, gently helped her stroke her back, and when she finished laughing, he took the water cup on the side and fed it to Shen Jin's lips, and Shen Jin slowly drank it with his head down, "In fact, think about it, it is worth seeing the child, so much hard work, what do you say our children will be called in the future?" ”

"What does Madame think?" Chu Xiuming asked.

Shen Jin thought about it and said, "I'll give it a small name, is it okay for you to give it a big name?" ”

"Okay." Where can Chu Xiuming disagree, for this child, his own mother has suffered so much, as long as the name of such a small thing as long as the mother is happy.

Shen Jin held his stomach with both hands, "I'm hungry. ”

"Then go out and eat." Chu Xiuming got up and looked at Shen Jin, who was still on the soft bed, Shen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming expectantly, Chu Xiuming bent up at the corner of his mouth and directly hugged Shen Jin, Shen Jin shook his feet comfortably.

Grandma Zhao made the sour noodle leaves that Shen Jin said, and also gave Chu Xiuming chicken soup noodle leaves, in addition to other dishes, all of which Shen Jin liked, and when he finished eating, Chu Xiuming accompanied Shen Jin for a while, and then went back to the house to rest, but today Chu Xiuming did not wait for Shen Jin to fall asleep and leave, but always accompanied her, this time did not talk about the art of war, but talked to Shen Jin about the war that the Chu family had experienced, whether it was a small conflict or a war of tens of thousands of people, after returning, he would collect various information from the soldiers, and then record it. There are also some notes and the experience of the generals at that time, and the children of the Chu family used these to read.

At this time, after Chu Xiuming spoke, he had some more of his own views, and seeing that Shen Jin listened with relish, he suddenly asked, "Do you think that in this battle of Suyuan, why did the Apocalypse lose when he had the advantage?" What would you do instead? ”

The Battle of Suyuan was a war between the Apocalypse and the previous dynasty, and although the ancestors of the Chu family participated in this war at that time, they were not famous enough, so they were just one of the generals, and it was not the Chu parents who were in charge.

Shen Jin was stunned for a moment, Chu Xiuming had never asked her this before, and after thinking about it, he said, "Me? Back off, and then close it up. ”

"Why?" Chu Xiuming asked.

Shen Jin said, "The grain and grass can't keep up." As he spoke, he grabbed Chu Xiuming's hand and drew it, "You see, the battle line... After pulling so long, the soldiers couldn't eat enough, and they had to fight all the time, which was very tiring. ”

Chu Xiuming suddenly asked, "What do you think is the most important thing to fight a war and want to win a war?" ”

"Soldiers eat enough, and then save the lives of more soldiers, if there are fewer people on the other side, they will fight, if there are many people..." Shen Jin hesitated for a moment, feeling that this statement seemed to be a little bad with Chu Xiuming.com.

"Huh?" Chu Xiuming asked.

Shen Jin whispered, "If there are many people on the other side, it is better to avoid some, or sneak attack?" ”

Chu Xiuming not only did not get angry, but said, "Or my little lady is smart." ”

"Of course." Shen Jin forgot the shame he had just felt and said, "I'm smart." "Chapter Seventy

At night, Shen Jin was still nestled in Chu Xiuming's arms as usual, and just when Chu Xiuming felt that she was asleep, he whispered, "Husband Jun, if... If I really..." Shen Jin said vaguely, but she knew that Chu Xiuming could understand, "you should take advantage of the fact that the child still does not remember, and then marry a good bride who is kind and gentle to the child." ”

Shen Jin's voice trembled, but he spoke very clearly, as if he had been thinking about it for a long time, "When the time comes, don't tell your children these things, you have to be good to our children, connected to mine... Hurt the child together, don't have other children, it's not good for him. ”

"Say something stupid." Chu Xiuming only felt very distressed after listening to it, reached out and gently patted Shen Jin's back and said, "Silly boy, are you really willing?" How do you think about all these things? ”

Shen Jin did not cry this time, "I just said it in advance, just like Li Shi didn't expect it... I'm afraid that if there is any chance, it will be too late to tell you, but you have to promise me that when the time comes, the two of us will be buried together, and no one else will be allowed to be okay? ”

"Whether we live or die, it's just the two of us." Chu Xiuming's voice was exceptionally gentle, with a little hoarseness, "You are right, there are many accidents in life, just like I thought I could accompany you in the capital and then go back to the border city for the New Year together, but I didn't want to leave when you were pregnant and leave yourself in this place." ”

Shen Jin listened to Chu Xiuming's voice, only felt itchy in his heart, but he didn't know what to say, so he rubbed his toes on Chu Xiuming's legs, and Chu Xiuming used his legs to pinch Shen Jin's legs to prevent her from making a fuss, so he continued, "It's very hard." ”

"Just thinking of you." Shen Jin said honestly, "I would love to." ”

Chu Xiuming laughed softly, his voice was a little hoarse and low, "I miss you too." ”

Shen Jin's voice was a little more reasonable, "Sure, I'm so good." ”

Chu Xiuming gently kissed Shen Jin's hair and said, "Yeah, you're so good, how can you be willing to let me make up those that are not good enough in the future?" ”

Shen Jin laughed, and Chu Xiuming's voice slowly reached his ear, "There are always accidents in life. If it really comes to that time, Chu Xiuming's choice cannot be a child, "The child is our continuation, but you are my only one, so silly boy, you should know what my choice is." ”

I don't know why, listening to this, Shen Jin's heart completely settled down, "I am smart, but I and the child will be fine, because you will accompany me and protect me?" ”

"Okay." Chu Xiuming gently patted her head and said, "Sleep." ”

"Okay." Not long after saying that, Shen Jin closed his eyes and went to sleep, what really reassured Shen Jin was not that Chu Xiuming said that he would protect her, but the only one, so that it was enough, even if something really happened, there was always someone who remembered himself, always thinking about himself, such a man... Shen Jin felt that whether it was for the sake of the child or for this man, she would not let herself have an accident.

The washing of the fourth young master of the Rui King's Mansion was not very big, but some close people were invited, and Chu Xiuming also accompanied Shen Jin to the past, and when the child's full moon came, Shen Jin was afraid that he would not be able to come, and this child's washing day was very coincidental, it was the last day of Yongqi's twenty-five years, and Emperor Cheng had also sealed his pen.

Shen Jin also saw this brother for the first time, he was wrapped in a small quilt of red Tongtong, chu Xiuming helped Shen Jin to look at it, he felt that this child was a small feeling everywhere, Chen Bianfei had a smile on her face, it was not obvious but Shen Jin knew that her mother was happy, after she got married, her mother wanted to come to be lonely, all day in such a big place as Mo Yun Yuan, I am afraid that every grass and tree has been clearly remembered.

Concubine Chen looked at Shen Jin with a smile and said, "This child is better than when you were a child." ”

"How could it be." Shen Jin didn't believe it at all, "Didn't my mother say that I was the most well-behaved child?" ”

Concubine Chen smiled and said, "Lie to you, when you were a child, you couldn't do without people all the time, you had to let people hold you, you slept in the morning and made trouble at night, you cried when you were not satisfied, not loudly, but whispered." ”

"Not really." Shen Jin thought that he often said in front of Chu Xiuming how well-behaved and sensible he was when he was a child, "I am smart and well-behaved. ”

Concubine Chen smiled but did not say anything more, handed the child in her arms to Grandma, and then said, "Go back to rest, don't be tired." ”

Shen Jin touched his stomach and nodded, "Good." ”

Princess Rui arranged for Chu Xiuming and Shen Jin to still be the original courtyard, because tomorrow will be the New Year, so the two people will no longer run back and forth, after all, Shen Jin's belly is big, riding in the carriage is also a bit guilty, they are ready to go back after the third year of the first year in the Rui King's Mansion.

Yongle Houshizi and Shen Qi returned to the Yongle Hou Mansion after the child washed three times, no matter what, on the first day of the New Year, they still had to stay in the Yongle Hou Mansion, Shen Qi and Shen Jin also said hello, did not say two words, only waited for Shen Qi to come back in the second year of the first year, but Shen Jin felt that Shen Qi had actually lost some weight, and Shen Jin pursed his lips and did not say anything.

Shen Qi originally wanted to ask Shen Jin if he knew about Li's affairs, but the time Shen Jin's eyebrows were full of joy, and the whole person was also moist, and finally did not say anything, and even had some evasive meaning, rushing to leave the Rui King's Mansion with Yongle Hou Shizi, she was afraid that she could not help but say it, and eventually made Shen Jin feel bad.

During Shen Jin's time in the Rui King's Mansion, neither Shen Rong nor Shen Hao saw it, but Shen Jin did not ask anything, after the third day of junior high school, Chu Xiuming accompanied Shen Jin back to the Yongning Bo Mansion, when he came, he gave a lot of gifts, and when he left, he also brought a lot of gifts, sent away the Yongning Bo couple, Shen Qi did not hold back and asked, "Mother, do you say that your sister knows about Li Shi' affairs?" ”

Princess Rui looked at her daughter's haggard look and said, "What do you think?" ”

Shen Qi couldn't say it, if he knew why there was nothing unusual, if he didn't know why shen Rong and Shen Hao weren't there, but he wasn't surprised at all, Princess Rui sighed and said, "Is it important?" ”

Hearing his mother's words, Shen Qi couldn't answer, was it important? She didn't know, she just wanted to know.

Princess Rui slowly walked inside with her daughter and said, "Whether Jin Yatou knows or doesn't know, she understands in her heart that no matter what others do, her life is the most important, and with me, I will never let you be like Li Shi." ”

"Mother." Shen Qi heard her mother mention Li Shi, her body stiffened a little, that day she was frightened, so much blood, Li s scream seemed to be still in her ears, and the father's words to protect the child... When she gave birth, did she also shed a lot of blood?

"What is Li's identity, and what is your identity?" Princess Rui reached out and shook her daughter's hand and said, "Even in the Marquis of Yongle, they don't have the courage to protect you." ”

Shen Qi bit her lower lip, Princess Rui's hand was very soft, it was a pair of pampered hands, "A woman always has a big hurdle when she gives birth to a child, but she can't afford not to give birth, unless you are willing to look at other women and your husband's children and inherit all this." ”

Princess Rui didn't say anything more, "Jin Yatou is not as good as you in terms of identity, appearance, or even piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she can see more clearly than you, Qi'er, you are my only daughter, but I don't want you to live so hard, so you don't need to live as tired as Jin yatou, but... There are some things you should learn to see better. ”

"Yes." Shen Qi responded.

It's just that neither Princess Rui nor Shen Qi knows that Shen Jin really doesn't care or has nothing to do, but after just a little uncomfortable little emotion, she was calmed down by Chu Xiuming, Shen Jin actually had some pride in her heart, it turned out that not only she couldn't do without her husband, but also her husband.

On the carriage back, Shen Jin was sitting in Chu Xiuming's arms, some uncomfortable movement of her feet, she now not only legs and even feet are a little swollen, now wearing boots, although warm but worn for a long time or let Shen Jin feel uncomfortable, even if the boots are specially made by Grandma Zhao They are the same.

As soon as Shen Jin moved Chu Xiuming noticed, he first knocked on the door of the carriage three times, Shen Jin found that the carriage quickly stopped, Chu Xiuming let Shen Jin sit horizontally in his arms, put one hand around her back, sideways to take off Shen Jin's boots, she was wearing cotton socks on her feet, it would not be cold in the carriage, and when the boots were taken off, Chu Xiuming hugged Shen Jin again, knocked on the car door again, and the carriage was back on the road.

"It's much more comfortable." Shen Jin moved his feet and said.

Chu Xiuming replied, "Go back and burn your feet with hot water." ”

Shen Jin nodded, they had left the border city for nearly a year, obviously the capital was the place where she had lived for a long time, but Shen Jin missed the life of the border city more, this year's Rui Wangfu seemed a little deserted, Shen Xuan was still in Minzhong and did not come back, Shen Zi although he wanted to come back, but he was not allowed by the Rui Wangfu, Xu Bianfei and Shen Jing were locked up, Shen Hao and Shen Rong were also punished, and even the New Year was not released, and those who accompanied Rui Wang were left with Shen Qi and his wife, and the two of them also had Shen Xi.

"I don't think Shen Rong asked Shen Hao to do it." Shen Jin said.

Chu Xiuming replied, although it was not cold inside the carriage, he still took the cloak and covered Shen Jin's feet.

Shen Jin whispered, "Shen Rong is not so stupid. ”

Chu Xiuming took a piece of dried peach and put it on Shen Jin's lips, Shen Jin opened his mouth to take it in his mouth, sour and sweet and sweet with a little salty, squinting his eyes contentedly and said, "Sister looks a little haggard, I think I was scared, thanks to the early return of us." ”

"Yes." Chu Xiuming said.

When the carriage stopped, Shen Jin wanted to call AnNing to come up and help her put on her boots, but her stomach couldn't bend down at all, but chu Xiuming first let Shen Jin sit well, and then used his cloak to carefully wrap Shen Jin's feet with his calves, and then gave her Shen Jin's own cloak to put on, which made shen Jin get off the carriage.

An Ping and An Ning glanced at each other, and An Ning followed Chu Xiuming to the courtyard, and An Ping got into the carriage to pack Shen Jin's things.

Grandma Zhao was already waiting in the courtyard, the house was very warm, Chu Xiuming put Shen Jin on the bed, Grandma Zhao waited for Shen Jin to change clothes, Anning went to the side to fight, Chu Xiuming also changed into a regular dress, Grandma Zhao said, "Two days ago, a few people came up from the palace, saying that they were relatives of Concubine Chen and came to find Madame. ”

"Mother's relatives?" Shen Jin looked at Grandma Zhao in shock.

Aunt Zhao said, "Yes, I also said some things about Concubine Chen, because the old slave didn't know much, and she didn't know whether it was true or not, so she arranged for someone to live first." ”

Shen Jin frowned, she had never told Grandma Zhao about her mother's family, Grandma Zhao naturally didn't know whether it was true or not, so it was really difficult to deal with those few people, and she could only arrange for people to live first, and then let people watch.

Chu Xiuming pressed two fingers on Shen Jin's forehead and said, "If you don't want to see it, send it away." ”

Shen Jin grabbed Chu Xiuming's hand, shook his head, and said, "See you." ”

"Tomorrow." Chu Xiuming said.

Shen Jin smiled and nodded, "Good." ”

Grandma Zhao saw this, although Shen Jin did not say anything, but saw that no matter whether this relative was true or not, it seemed that the relationship with Concubine Chen and his wife was not close, so she also had a thought in her heart, and after helping Shen Jin change into a regular dress, she no longer stayed in the house, she retired first, and when Grandma Zhao brought the freshly cooked goat milk from the kitchen, AnNing also took water to serve Chu Xiuming and Shen Jin to freshen up, Shen Jin drank a bowl of hot goat milk, and slowly exhaled a breath and said, "Still comfortable at home." ”

"Is Madame going to burn her feet?" Aunt Zhao asked with a smile.

Shen Jin thought for a moment and nodded and said, "Make a bigger basin, and I will soak with my husband." ”

Aunt Zhao smiled and responded, and immediately let Xiao Yahuan go to prepare, after a while someone carried the basin with water, after the mixing, Shen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming, Chu Xiuming let people move the round pier to sit opposite Shen Jin, and did not let Yahuan wait, he took off his shoes and socks, Shen Jin because he could not bend down, but Anning helped her take off.

Shen Jin's feet were much smaller than Chu Xiuming's, white and tender, because some of them were swollen and chubby, stepping on Chu Xiuming's feet was particularly proud, "In fact, even if I met my mother's mother's family, I don't know them, because I have never seen them." ”

Chu Xiuming listened quietly, Shen Jin stepped on Chu Xiuming's feet, and then let people add some hot water, continued to soak and said, "Mother rarely mentions these people, when the mother ... He was reluctant to enter the palace as a concubine, as if his grandfather had booked a family for his mother before he died. ”

Although it was very comfortable to soak his feet with hot water, Chu Xiuming did not let Shen Jin soak for too long, let Anning help Shen Jin dry, he directly carried Shen Jin to bed, and then waved his hand to let the waiters in the house retreat, the two people took off their clothes and lay down inside the quilt, Shen Jin nestled in Chu Xiuming's arms, laughing, "Husband, you have become lazy." ”

"Yes." Chu Xiuming laughed and said that when he didn't marry a wife in the past, he either practiced martial arts, trained soldiers, and practiced words all day long, as if he couldn't sit idle at all, and only later did he understand that it wasn't that he couldn't idle, but that he didn't know what to do when he was idle, so he became more and more busy.

Although Shen Jin was not sleepy, he was also extra comfortable lying in the arms of his husband in the winter, saying, "But after my grandfather is gone, they will... In fact, at first they did not expect that their mother could enter the Rui King's mansion, as if she was a concubine for another official, but one of my grandfather's friends could not see it, and did not know how to build a relationship with the mother concubine's mother's family, knowing that the mother concubine was giving Rui Wang a concubine, so she pushed her mother up. ”

"Listening to my mother, my grandfather's family was not poor, and even very rich, when they knew that their mother was going to enter the Rui King's Mansion, things had become a foregone conclusion, they knew that they had offended their mother fiercely, so they simply offended to the end, accepted the things sent by Princess Rui, and did not allow their mother to take anything away, and even the things that their grandfather and grandmother left for their mothers were withheld, and finally the mother wore a dress and secretly took this jade pendant and left." Shen Jin felt that there must be something in it, just like when the mother became a side concubine, if they knew the news, did they come to make trouble, but these were also shen jin heard from Li's mother, the mother did not like to talk about these, Shen Jin naturally would not ask, so as not to provoke the mother to be sad.

And did they really not come to the palace to find their mother? If it were just these things, my mother wouldn't have remembered and hated them for so long.

However, these Shen Jin would not ask again, anyway, she would not see these people again, why should she mention these things again to make her mother uncomfortable.

Chu Xiuming replied, "No matter what the purpose of their coming, just send them off, don't let them disturb their mother-in-law." ”

Shen Jin nodded, at least in the Yongning Bo Mansion, she could be the master of the house, but in the Rui King's Mansion, Concubine Chen could not do much, so they came to find themselves better than to go to the Rui King's Mansion to find their mother, and the father was afraid that he was in a bad mood during this time.

When he really saw these people, Shen Jin knew why Grandma Zhao would leave someone behind, and he didn't know which cousin it was, but it was similar to her mother when she was young, and Shen Jin looked at it for a while before saying, "Sit down." ”

Shen Jin inevitably paid a little more attention to the girl who was similar to her mother, but found that it was only similar in appearance, and after she did it, she always looked at the bracelet on her hand and the hair ornament on her head, and also looked at the decorations in the house, thinking that she was hidden, but she did not know that Shen Jin sat on the main seat and saw it clearly.

"Lord, I am you..." The oldest man spoke as soon as he sat down.

Shen Jin's brow frowned slightly, and he heard An Ping rebuke, "Madame has not asked you yet, who let you open your mouth." ”

The man's face became particularly ugly, and he wanted to say something, but another man next to him pulled on his sleeve and closed his mouth.

Shen Jin said, "You are my mother's relatives?" ”

"Yeah, yeah." The middle-aged man responded with a winning streak, "I..."

"I didn't hear my mother mention it." Shen Jin calmly interrupted them and said, "For the first time in so many years, I still know that there are still people in my grandfather's family." ”

Except for Shen Jin, the faces of the people present were not good-looking, and Shen Jin continued, "Anping, go and ask Yue Wen to bring two people over." ”

"Yes." An Ping complimented.

"What is this for?" The man who had just pulled the sleeve of the middle-aged man said, "Is it difficult for the county lord to become Lady Yongningbo and not recognize the poor relatives of the grandfather's family?" ”

"Unbridled." Anning scolded angrily.

"If this is not the case, if you can't do it, you will report it to the officials, and if the government doesn't care, will the Yongning Bofu be able to bully others?" If you have the ability, you will kill me." The man stood up and cried out in a red-faced voice.

"What if you die?" Chu Xiuming came in from outside and said, "Drag it out, hit me." ”

"Yes." Yue Wen just happened to bring someone in, and after hearing it, two people grabbed the man who was talking and dragged him out, and before the man could even cry, Yue Wen removed his chin.

Shen Jin saw Chu Xiuming, his eyes bent and smiled and said, "Fu Jun." ”

Chu Xiuming nodded, sat down next to Shen Jin, and his eyes swept over those people, whether they wanted to beg for forgiveness or wanted to cry, the sound was stuck in their throats, they only felt as if a knife had been set up on their necks and would fall at any time.

To which girl who looked a little similar to Concubine Chen xiuming at the moment she saw Chu Xiuming, her face was red and full of shyness, that look only revolved around Chu Xiuming, she couldn't care about anything else, even the person who was dragged out was her father, Chu Xiuming and Shen Jin didn't speak, no one in the room dared to speak, it was a little frighteningly quiet for a while, as if she could hear the sound of people outside being beaten to the board.

The girl bit her lower lip, stepped on a small step to the center of the hall, Yingying knelt down, slightly raised a nod, and said, "Ask the cousin-in-law to forgive the father for not saying anything for a while, he is only in a mood of anger to say such a thing, it is not his intention, the little girl's family suffered, this is why thousands of mountains and rivers came to the capital, I thought that my cousin could take in for a few days, and when we found a place to stay, we moved out, who ever wanted to cousin but even ..."

"Which is your cousin?" Shen Jin looked at the crying girl and suddenly asked, "Which one is your cousin-in-law again?" You say it's my mother's relative? Is there any evidence? ”

The girl cried pitifully, "The little girl listened to her father and said that the little girl looked like a cousin... The mother of the sheriff is somewhat similar. ”

Shen Jin pretended to be confused in the face of Princess Ruyang, because Princess Ruyang's identity was higher than hers, and there was no Chu Xiuming around, even so Shen Jin did not eat at all, and now she was not only higher than these people, Chu Xiuming was around, and what was terrible, so he said directly, "People are similar, I never knew that there were relatives in the family, and I thought it was a fake." ”

Chu Xiuming looked indifferent, he didn't even look at the girl below, and when Shen Jin finished speaking, he responded, and Shen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming, "Fu Jun, I don't want to see them." Just look at those people who looked at Shen Jin with horror on their faces.

Shen Jin looked at them with some doubt, and then looked at Chu Xiuming, but Chu Xiuming knew why those people were frightened, in fact, Shen Jin said that he didn't want to see them just because he didn't want to see them, there was no other meaning, Wen Yan said, "Well, Yue Wen sent people to Minzhong, before going, let them open their mouths, who let them come." ”

Yue Wen heard this and said, "Yes." Chu Xiuming did not say who it was handed over to, but Yue Wen also knew that seeing that Chu Xiuming had no other orders, he directly asked someone to drag everyone away.

Shen Jin asked, "Minzhong?" ”

"Okay." Chu Xiuming responded, "Those Haikou occupy an isolated island, and after they are defeated, they also need people there." ”

"Can't they come back?" Shen Jin asked.

Chu Xiuming said, "I won't let them come back." ”

Shen Jin nodded and said, "That's fine." ”

These people came too coincidentally, and Chu Xiuming could not be allowed to doubt, so he arranged for someone to let them open their mouths before sending them away, and it was unknown whether they would do anything else before sending them away, after all, Chu Xiuming was not a person with a soft heart, and Grandma Zhao knew in her heart that the woman who was somewhat similar to Chen Bianfei could not stay, because that person was not only similar to Chen Bianfei, but also a bit like Shen Jin.

However, none of these people would tell Shen Jin, those people were not hard bones, but in two hours, Yue Wen sent a message to Chu Xiuming, I didn't expect that these people had listened to other people's words, and even specially led them to Yongning Bo Mansion, what kind of thoughts they had, but no matter how many people didn't know, Chu Xiuming just nodded his head, and after a few words, Yue Wen went down and got busy. Chapter Seventy-Two

Emperor Cheng seemed to be in conflict with Chu Xiu tomorrow, with Chu Xiuming in the capital he did not have a smooth day, this year has not yet passed, he learned the news of The anti-people in Shu, when he heard the news, Emperor Cheng wanted to go to a favored little nobleman, this time also lost the mood, and even almost fainted, "What do you say?" How many anti-democrats? ”

The little eunuch who came to pass on the news was lying on the ground, and his head did not dare to lift, and Li Fugonggong behind Emperor Cheng even relaxed his exhalation, and looked at the little eunuch with some sympathy, and the little eunuch's voice trembled and said, "If you return to Your Majesty, there are thousands of people." ”

Emperor Cheng kicked the little eunuch to the ground, and kicked him hard a few times, the little eunuch did not even dare to cry, and when Emperor Cheng was finished venting, the little eunuch was already bleeding from his head, and the whole person was curled up on the ground, out of breath more and less breath, Emperor Cheng looked at his heart more irritable, "Drag it down." ”

Li Fu quickly let the other two little eunuchs carry the people down, and also sent them to the palace gate, took some broken silver from his arms and said, "Big New Year's Day, try to save it." "This is really a senseless disaster, but it is better for Emperor Cheng to be angry with others than to be angry with himself."

The two little eunuchs also had a relationship, and they nodded vigorously but did not dare to take Li Fu's silver, and after Li Fusai gave them, he went in, this silver was to be given to other eunuchs, not these two little eunuchs, Li Fu sighed in his heart that it was really the older he got, the softer his heart became, only when he accumulated virtue.

After Li Fu went in, he saw Emperor Cheng sitting on a chair, the blood on the ground had been cleaned up, just like nothing had happened, Li Fu poured a cup of water for Emperor Cheng, not some tea, but some cool white water, usually give Li Fu a few more guts, he did not dare to give Emperor Cheng to drink such water, but when Emperor Cheng was angry, he liked to drink this kind of water.

Sure enough, Emperor Cheng even drank two cups before he said, "Is that little eunuch all right?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty's words, there is nothing wrong, just after carrying it out, I can already go on my own." Li Fu said with a slight squint.

Emperor Cheng replied, "Let people take more care." ”

"Yes." Li Fu knew Emperor Cheng best, and his temperament was tyrannical and suspicious, but he also paid the most attention to fame, "which is also the blessing of the little eunuch." ”

Emperor Cheng actually didn't take those thousands of rebels seriously, he had an army of millions... However, most of this million army was not in his hands, and the face of Emperor Chengcheng was even more gloomy when he thought of this, what did those bastards do, bring so much grain and grass to the disaster relief, the more they thought about it, the more angry they became, "This matter must not let Chu Xiuming know." ”

Li Fu didn't say a word, as if he hadn't heard Emperor Cheng's words, Emperor Cheng didn't expect a eunuch to know anything, the matter in Minzhong had only ended not long ago, and Chu Xiuming himself was not tame enough, and then there was something in Shuzhong... These two places are still people sent by him, and soon it seems that he is too incompetent to recognize people?

"Go and send someone to pass on Cheng'en Gong." Emperor Cheng said coldly.

Li Fugong responded, and Emperor Cheng suddenly said, "Wait a minute, and then pass it on tomorrow." "If it wasn't like that in the evening, I suddenly called Cheng'en Gong into the palace, which was too eye-catching," tomorrow said that the empress missed her family. ”

"Yes." However, Li Fu felt that this matter could not be hidden, this was not a trivial matter, Emperor Cheng was too jealous of Yong Ningbo, or Emperor Cheng was too afraid of Chu Xiuming.

In the Yongning Bo Mansion, Chu Xiuming nodded after listening to Yue Wen's words and said, "I know." ”

Zhao Guanshi looked at Chu Xiuming and said, "There is no news in the palace so far, and I don't want people to know if I want to come to Emperor Cheng, but can such a thing be hidden?" ”

Chu Xiuming frowned slightly, he still miscalculated Emperor Cheng's thoughts, it should be said that normal people can't understand Emperor Cheng's thoughts.

"What is the general's plan?" Zhao Guanshi said.

Chu Xiuming said, "I'm afraid, before Emperor Cheng of Shangyuan Festival, he should send me away from Beijing." ”

Zhao Guanshi's eyes lit up and he thought of his wife's belly, and he understood in his heart why Chu Xiuming's face was ugly, "Is it difficult, Emperor Cheng thought that the general was not in the capital, he would not know the news?" Or will it let the general go to Shuzhong to quell the chaos? ”

Chu Xiuming shook his head, Emperor Cheng was not so naïve, and since the events in Minzhong, I was afraid that Emperor Cheng would not hand over the affairs of Shuzhong to Chu Xiuming, and even if Emperor Cheng had stolen chickens and not corrupted rice, even if Emperor Cheng had sent officials over, but the words in Minzhong were no longer Emperor Cheng's officials, and Emperor Cheng could not have watched Shuzhong also fall into Chu Xiuming's hands.

Zhao Guanshi thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you talk to the general and his wife?" ”

Chu Xiuming nodded and didn't say anything more, as long as Emperor Yicheng was a monarch and a subject, some things were involuntary.

When shen jin returned to the room, he was still asleep, he was talking to Grandma Zhao, when he saw Chu Xiuming, Grandma Zhao smiled and retreated, Shen Jin sat on the bed and hugged his big belly and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Chu Xiuming took off his clothes and boots and went to bed, reached out and touched Shen Jin's stomach and asked, "The child is in trouble?" ”

"Nothing." Shen Jin was a little itchy when he was touched, and he dodged and laughed, "The child is very well-behaved." ”

Chu Xiuming thought for a moment and said the things in Shuzhong again, Shen Jin narrowed his eyes, "This..." How many things those people did to hurt heaven and reason before they forced the people to that extent, "I'm afraid there is no way to live." "If there was a way to live, they wouldn't have done such a thing."

"Okay." Chu Xiuming said, "There is news in the palace today. ”

"I'll have you change your clothes." Shen Jin thought that Chu Xiuming was about to enter the palace, so he said, "It's cold outside, drink hot soup..."

"Don't be busy." Chu Xiuming said, "Emperor Cheng has no intention of summoning people into the palace. ”

"Huh?" Shen Jin was really stunned at this moment, "But isn't there an accident in Shuzhong?" ”

In front of Shen Jin, Chu Xiuming did not hide, although there was not much expression on his face, but his eyes were full of sarcasm, Shen Jin touched his stomach and asked with some hesitation, "Why?" Don't you want to disturb everyone's New Year? After saying this, Shen Jin himself felt that it was impossible, "Is he afraid of losing people?" ”

Chu Xiuming grabbed Shen Jin's hand and put it on her stomach together and said, "Are you afraid that you will leave Beijing in a few days?" ”

Shen Jin immediately did not think about why Emperor Cheng got the news and did not immediately call people into the palace, but turned his head and looked at Chu Xiuming expectantly, Chu Xiuming kissed the corner of her eyes, "I will find a way to stay." Shen Jin is now almost seven months pregnant, Chu Xiuming does not dare to let her follow the road, whether it is back to the border city or to Minzhong, the carriage will have to go fast for two months, in the Yongning Bo Mansion, whether it is the delivery room or something else has been properly arranged, but on the way... This was Shen Jin's first child, and Chu Xiuming did not dare to be sloppy in the slightest.

So all that could be done was to find a way to stay in the capital until Shen Jin finished the confinement.

Shen Jin did not react for a moment, and said stunnedly, "Aren't you going to leave Beijing in a few days?" Why do you have to find a way to stay? ”

Chu Xiuming gently patted Shen Jin's stomach, and Shen Jin looked down and reacted, somewhat touched but felt that this was not good, "It will delay things." ”

"There's no delay." Chu Xiuming heard this and said, "I am not ready to leave Beijing either." ”

Shen Jin felt that what Chu Xiuming said was a bit complicated, and thought about it for a while and grasped the main point, Chu Xiuming was not ready to leave Beijing, but he might leave Beijing, but he was determined not to leave, and did not delay things, which meant that he would accompany her, and Shen Jin was completely at ease, yawning and saying, "Then go to sleep." ”

"Okay." Chu Xiuming put his arm around Shen Jin and said, "Sleep." ”

Knowing that Chu Xiuming would not leave, nor would he delay things because of her, Shen Jin was satisfied, and after lying down, he did not wait for Chu Xiuming to say a few words to him, and Shen Jin fell asleep.

When he woke up the next day, Chu Xiuming was no longer there, after vaguely drinking goat's milk, Grandma Zhao waited for Shen Jin to freshen up, and Shen Jin dressed up very simply at home without seeing the guests, and the face was not covered with those fat powders, it was enough to apply a layer of grease paste, and when he finished breakfast, Shen Jin felt that there was nothing to do.

An Ping saw it and said, "Madame why don't you call Xiao Budian to play with Madame?" ”

Because Shen Jin is afraid of the cold, Grandma Zhao is also afraid of the cold Shen Jin, so the daily charcoal in the house is enough, and it is enough to wear a thin cotton coat when in the house, and the little one has changed a body of hair in winter, thick and dense, and does not like to enter the house, even if entering the house, she is lying on the ground spitting out her tongue and constantly whirring, Shen Jin looked at the pity and said, "Forget it, don't be hot." ”

Aunt Zhao smiled, "Why don't Madame think about what name to give the child?" ”

"Yes!" Shen Jin smiled when she was reminded by Grandma Zhao, "Husband Jun asked me to give the child a nickname." ”

New Year's time can not move needle and thread, a few people on the side of the string, the last time Shen Jin said that he likes frost Qiao play, since the box was sent, AnPing and Anning have carefully learned to learn, and then went to Grandma Zhao to ask, who knows Grandma Zhao really knows a lot of new tricks, just taught two people, the two people are now slowly practicing, according to Grandma Zhao's statement has a little bit of fire.

Shen Jin felt good, she always felt that she was quite skillful, but she really couldn't do it against the strings, and it became a mess when she got it, "In fact, I have a good embroidery." Shen Jin comfortably leaned on the cushion, and then sighed, "When I was not married, I embroidered well and beautifully among several sisters." ”

After saying that, there was still some small pride, and Grandma Zhao smiled and said, "The old slave also felt this way, listening to Zhao Guanshi said, the hand that the lady made for the major general covered his ears and the like, the major general immediately brought it up, and treasured it." ”

Shen Jin said, "Treasured? The next time my husband wrote to my brother, remember to remind me and my husband that the thing was done for my brother, and if it was broken, it would be done again. Despite this, I was still happy to hear Shen Jin.

Grandma Zhao smiled and responded, the major general liked it, but he was really embarrassed to bring it to the barracks, Shen Jin chose the best fur, the fur color was soft and beautiful, warm and comfortable when he put it on, but the look... When he was first brought to the military camp, he was laughed at by a group of people all the way, Chu Xiuyuan was young and thin-faced, naturally unwilling, and finally put it away with his own hands, waiting for the military camp to not go to the military camp and then wear it, but usually he spent most of his time in the military camp and the palace, and there was really no use for the opportunity, but these Zhao Grandma would not tell Shen Jin.

Even if there is a cushion, Shen Jin also feels tired after sitting for a while, so he let An Ping and An Ning help her walk slowly in the house, and Grandma Zhao said the arrangements in the delivery room on the side, "The midwife and the doctor are sent from the border city by the general, and they are also relieved to use it." ”

"What about the grandmother?" Shen Jin wanted to feed the child himself, but what if the child was hungry if there was not enough milk? So you still have to prepare the grandmother.

"It was the princess who helped find it, and now she lives in the Rui King's Mansion." Aunt Zhao said, "When Madame's child is born, she will receive it from the palace." ”

Shen Jin nodded, and Aunt Zhao said, "Madam, the old slave has something to ask Madame." ”

"Oh!" Shen Jin's eyes lit up when she heard that, she had always felt that Grandma Zhao could do anything, and now she had a question to ask her! So sure enough, she is still smarter, it is the mother who always said that it was stupid to have children for three years, and at this time Shen Jinke found self-confidence.

Grandma Zhao looked at the small rings around her, Shen Jin was still expectantly waiting for Grandma Zhao to ask her questions, Grandma Zhao made another look, Shen Jin blinked, looked around and suddenly said, "Oh, I know, you all go down, Anning and Anping are guarding the point." ”

"Yes." When the crowd heard this, they went down, and anping and anning stood guard at the door one by the door and the other by the window.

Shen Jin knew for the first time that Grandma Zhao still valued face so much, and advised, "Well, Grandma is no one now, in fact, it is not a shameful thing to ask if there is a problem!" ”

Aunt Zhao cried and laughed, but the purpose was achieved, but she didn't care about these things and said, "Yes." ”

Shen Jin nodded and urged, "Mamma asked." "She's been in the house all day, and she's a little bored.

Aunt Zhao poured Shen Jin a glass of water before saying, "Early this morning, Emperor Cheng summoned the former minister into the palace, saying that the empress missed her family. ”

Shen Jin nodded, this excuse is good, but it is too anxious early in the morning, but it is not easy to endure until this morning, what will you say? It must be a bad idea to bully the husband, but the husband already knows... Wait for the husband Jun to come back, it is better to eat that sweet and sour fish at noon, yesterday Grandma Zhao seemed to say that there were a few fish in the house...

Grandma Zhao looked at Shen Jin's eyes empty, obviously in a daze, some helpless but not bothered, and when Shen Jin thought about it for a while, she suddenly said, "Grandma might as well eat sweet and sour fish at noon." ”

"Okay." Grandma Zhao knew that this was another turn, and she responded with one bite, and then asked, "The old slave will go to the kitchen to explain it in a moment." ”

Shen Jin hugged his stomach contentedly, nodded, and said, "Get a small vegetarian pot again, but the tofu will be fried." ”

"Okay." Grandma Zhao responded to it all.

Shen Jin nodded, thought for a moment and said, "By the way, Grandma just said that the Empress missed her relatives and called her parents into the palace, and then what?" ”

Aunt Zhao continued this time, "What does Madame think they will do with the general?" ”

Shen Jin thought for a moment, took a sip of tea, and suddenly remembered what Chu Xiuming said yesterday, "No wonder Fu Jun said what he couldn't leave yesterday." ”

Aunt Zhao nodded, "Yes, the general feels that I am afraid that Emperor Cheng is going to let him leave the capital." ”

"Grace." Shen Jin nodded.

Aunt Zhao asked, "Why does Madame think it is?" ”

Shen Jin said reasonably, "Because he wants her husband to leave." ”

Grandma Zhao didn't know how to refute it, but when she saw Shen Jin's eyes, she felt like a little fox who had just eaten grapes, with a bit of pride, "Then talk to the old slave." ”

Shen Jin then moved his feet and said, "Don't tell you." ”

Aunt Zhao was teased, "The old slave made her favorite pastries for madame in the afternoon." ”

Shen Jin actually didn't understand a bit, if he put this matter on Xu Bianfei, Shen Jin gently stroked his stomach and thought about it, And Grandma Zhao didn't bother, thinking about it, Shen Jin still felt that Emperor Cheng might be afraid of losing people, and then wanted to send Chu Xiuming out of Beijing, and felt that without Chu Xiuming, there would be no one in the court who would say anything.

No matter how much Shen Jin couldn't think of it, he just said what he just thought of and Grandma Zhao, although Grandma Zhao felt that this reason was ridiculous, but... I don't know why, Grandma Zhao actually felt very credible, and I didn't know whether Shen Jin's look was too sincere, or because the things that Emperor Cheng had done a few times before were too ...

After listening, Grandma Zhao asked someone to come back to serve, and she went to the kitchen to make something for Shen Jin to eat, but Shen Jin leaned on the cushion with her stomach and thought about it.

Since Chu Xiuming had promised the little lady to stay in the capital and wait, he had to make more arrangements and give him a reason not to leave the capital before Emperor Cheng opened his mouth.

Zhao Guanshi said, "The general decided? ”

Chu Xiuming said, "Well, I haven't found anything yet." ”

Mentioning things, Zhao Guanshi's face also became serious, they would enter Beijing this time, the most important purpose was to find things, Chu Xiuming did not open his mouth, Zhao Guanshi said, "I'm afraid it's really in the palace." ”

Chu Xiuming nodded, and the places where things could be hidden were nothing more than those few, the most likely was in the First Prince's Palace, but after Emperor Cheng took the throne, he didn't know whether he was weak in heart or looking for those things, and he actually ordered people to raz and rebuild it, and in the end he locked the courtyard, except for arranging a few cronies to keep it, he didn't allow anyone to stay, the First Prince's Palace was the biggest and best in addition to the Empress and the Empress's Palace, and now it was so messed up by Emperor Cheng, and there was no difference between the Cold Palace.

"I'm afraid it's not in the Prince's Palace." Chu Xiuming said, if you are in the Prince's Palace, I am afraid that Emperor Cheng has already found it, after all, Emperor Cheng can be said to have dug the Prince's Palace three feet to the ground, and even some of the Prince's ink treasures have been destroyed, thinking of these things Chu Xiuming is still able to calm down, but Zhao Guanshi's look is already vicious, his eyes are red, thinking of that talented and gentle and humble prince, Zhao Guanshi clenched his teeth, and Chu Xiuming's hand held down Zhao Guanshi who clenched his fists.

Zhao Guanshi took a few deep breaths before calming down, "I'm out of shape." ”

Chu Xiuming let go of his hand, but did not open his mouth immediately, Zhao Guanshi did not need a teacup, directly drank most of the teapot, and then really calmed down and said, "Then according to what the general said, do you want to say hello to your wife first?" ”

"Okay." Chu Xiuming narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Needed." ”

The two men perfected the plan again, and when Chu Xiuming went back, he saw the little lady who was in a daze, walked over and touched the little lady's face and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Shen Jin blinked and looked at Chu Xiuming for a moment before he reacted and smiled, "Fu Jun." ”

Chu Xiuming sat down next to Shen Jin and asked, "What do you think?" ”

After Chu Xiuming came in, An Ping and An Ning retreated to the outhouse, and Shen Jin leaned into Chu Xiu Ming's arms and said, "My legs are uncomfortable." ”

Chu Xiuming reached out to help Shen Jin massage his legs, recently especially when he slept at night, Shen Jin sometimes his legs would suddenly cramp and hurt, so Shen Jin would not wake up, he would only hum quietly, Chu Xiuming did not know what was going on, specially called Grandma Zhao to come, and later knew, when Shen Jin was uncomfortable, he would help her rub her legs.

If it wasn't for Grandma Zhao secretly talking to her, Shen Jin wouldn't know, "Grandma Zhao said something to me..." Shen Jin said her own speculations and some ideas.

Chu Xiuming suddenly felt that he and Zhao Guanshi had discussed so much, maybe the truth was really the same as Shen Jin thought, "I also have some things to say to you." ”

After Shen Jin listened to it and thought about it, Chu Xiuming also explained carefully, "I can't leave Beijing for the time being, because there are still things. ”

Who knew that after saying it, seeing Shen Jin's expression was not worried or guilty, but somewhat like looking at a fool, and sure enough, when Chu Xiuming finished, Shen Jin hugged his stomach and laughed, "Fu Jun, you are so stupid." ”

Chu Xiuming protected Shen Jin, lest she accidentally bump into it when she laughed, so she saw Shen Jin smile and stop laughing twice, and then laughed, and then said after laughing, "Fu Jun, have you ever thought that if you really pretend to be assassinated and injured like this, it will make Emperor Cheng suddenly realize?" ”

At this point, they also thought that naturally there would be precautions, Shen Jin pretended to be serious and said, "Actually, there is a very simple way. ”

Shen Jin felt that today was particularly satisfied, not only Grandma Zhao came to ask her, but even Chu Xiuming had to consult her, moving his feet happily, looking at Chu Xiuming expectantly, like a small animal begging for food.

Chu Xiuming pressed one hand on the soft bed, kissed the corner of Shen Jin's lips and said, "My delicate lady, is it okay to talk to me?" ”

Shen Jin said, "You are thinking too much trouble. ”

Chu Xiu's face was like a crown jade, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised to add a little charm, and his eyes were very intoxicating, Shen Jin couldn't help but hook the back of his hand with his fingers, and said, "In fact, when Emperor Cheng said, wouldn't it be better if you directly refused, could he still tie you up?" ”

"..." Chu Xiuming was actually a little speechless, looking at Shen Jin, who was proud of himself, and suddenly smiled, "I think too much, Madame is right." ”

Shen Jin narrowed his eyes in satisfaction and said, "Well. In fact, the best way to deal with people like Emperor Cheng, who likes to play small tricks, is to go straight, so that he has no way," Then you will say that you want to accompany me. ”

Chu Xiuming nodded, "Yeah, I want to accompany my petite." Looking at Shen Jin's proud look, Chu Xiuming's hand couldn't help but slowly touch down her neck, and the other hand reached into her skirt, "My petite..."

Shen Jin only felt that his body was soft, the whole person was soft enough to be on the bed, not only blushed but even his whole body was red, and moved his legs, "Well... other...... Don't..." The kitten-like voice begged for forgiveness, but instead made Chu Xiuming lean over, careful not to overwhelm Shen Jin's stomach. Chapter Seventy-Three

Emperor Cheng never thought that he would one day be rejected directly like this, and he did not react for a while, even the other ministers did not react for a while, Chu Xiuming said, "The minister has been unwell recently. ”

Some ministers looked at Chu Xiuming subtly, and then looked at Emperor Cheng, whose face was ugly, how to see that this one was very healthy, but thinking about the situation of Lady Yongningbo, everyone also understood in their hearts, no wonder Yongningbo was unwilling to leave Beijing.

"I feel that since the matter in Minzhong was handed over to Yong Ningbo at the beginning, it is not good for others to intervene in the next matter." Emperor Cheng thought of the matter he had discussed with Cheng'en Gong, he could not let YongNingbo stay in the capital, let alone let him return to the border city, thinking of the secret letter from Ruyang, Emperor Cheng's eyes narrowed a little and said, "Is there any inconvenience to Yongningbo?" ”

"Yes." Chu Xiuming thought about what his mother said and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to leave Beijing before entering the summer." ”

really! Everyone's hearts were sure of the speculation in their hearts, and when it was summer, Lady Yongningbo had even finished sitting on the confinement, and when the time came, even Emperor Cheng would not be able to stop it.

Emperor Cheng looked at Chu Xiuming with a heavy face and said, "Why don't you let the Tai Doctor diagnose Yong Ningbo's pulse?" ”

"Your Majesty." Chu Xiuming agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Emperor Cheng immediately announced the Taiyi, and it was Taiyi Zheng who came, and when the Taiyi came, Chu Xiuming said, "The minister is disrespectful." Only then did he roll up his sleeves and reveal his wrists.

Chu Xiuming himself has internal strength, and it is particularly easy to cheat, and he specifically asked the doctor from the border city to ensure that everything was foolproof, and after the doctor frowned and carefully examined the pulse, he said in a respectful voice, "Back to Your Majesty's words, YongNing Bo's body..."

In fact, there are many dark injuries, and now that they have recurred, they need to rest for a period of time, otherwise it will affect Shouyuan.

Even if Emperor Cheng wished that Chu Xiuming would die now, he did not dare to say such a thing at this time, frowned and looked at the Tai Doctor suspiciously, and said, "That Yong Ningbo is recuperating in the palace, and everyone is not allowed to disturb Yong Ningbo's recuperation." ”

Chu Xiuming responded.

Emperor Cheng's implication was to ask Chu Xiuming not to go out, and the others not to go to the door of Yongning Bo's house.

In fact, after coming to the capital, Chu Xiuming really did not go to other people's palaces as a guest in addition to the Rui Wangfu, and even if someone wanted to contact Chu Xiuming, he would not be honorable and upright in the Yongning Bo Mansion, after all, Yongning Bo would have to return to the border city sooner or later, and they would stay in the capital, under Emperor Cheng's hands, so they had to leave a line in everything, sometimes helping Chu Xiuming speak in the court, in order to enlighten the Dynasty, but they would not be too close to Chu Xiuming, which provoked Emperor Cheng's taboo.

It is now the sixth day of the first month, and it has been nearly five days since Emperor Chengdi received the news from Shuzhong, and the holiday of the Apocalypse Dynasty is from Chinese New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the first year, and then the eighth day of the first year has begun to take a holiday again, until after the Lantern Festival.

However, even now, Emperor Cheng had not said anything about Shuzhong in the court, and the officials had more or less already known the news, but unfortunately Emperor Cheng could not take the initiative to raise it without saying it, so as not to be suspected by Emperor Cheng, after all, no emperor could allow his courtiers to be more informed than the emperor.

And it was something that the emperor deliberately concealed, so they could only pretend not to know, King Rui was absent-mindedly standing in his position at this time, thinking about Chu Xiuming's physical condition that the tai doctor said, and when he suddenly heard Emperor Cheng's angry voice, he was startled to look at Emperor Cheng, and he saw Emperor Cheng looking at Chu Xiuming and asking, "You say it again." ”

"Your Majesty asks His Majesty to summon Zhongyi Hou and Princess Ruyang back to Beijing." Chu Xiuming said calmly, "The border city is bitterly cold, and there are barbarians and tigers looking at each other, I'm afraid..."

"Are you threatening Yuan?" Emperor Cheng's voice was a little low, but he calmed down, and with an irrepressible ecstasy in his eyes, how could he not be happy, Chu Xiuming would bring up this matter, did not mean that the things in Ruyang's secret letter were true.

"The subject does not dare." Chu Xiuming said in a congratulatory voice.

Emperor Cheng sat back on the dragon chair and said, "Then back off." ”

"The minister has one more thing." Chu Xiuming did not retreat from his position according to Emperor Cheng's words, but said, "Your Majesty, but what is the situation in Shuzhong now?" ”

Emperor Cheng's hand tightened under the imperial case, and he looked at Chu Xiuming and said, "Why did Ai Qing say this?" ”

Chu Xiuming did not say anything more, such an attitude actually made Emperor Cheng's heart feel weak, he took a look at the courtiers below, and saw that all the courtiers were bowing their heads, and Emperor Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "The matter of Shuzhong has not yet received news, what news has the Qing family received?" ”

No one spoke, and Emperor Cheng looked at Chu Xiuming with satisfaction and said, "Does Ai Qing still have any questions?" ”

"Returning to Your Majesty's words, there is none." Chu Xiuming said.

In the Yongning Bo Mansion, Shen Jin looked at the people coming from the palace and said, "The empress summoned me? ”

"Yes." The little eunuch who came said in a congratulatory voice, "Please Ask Lady Yongningbo to enter the palace with the slaves immediately." ”

Shen Jin looked at the little eunuch for a long time and said, "Oh, AnNing helped me change clothes." ”

"Yes." An Ping and An Ning helped Shen Jin to the inner room.

Who knew that the little eunuch said, "The empress said that Lady Yongningbo is pregnant and can wear regular clothes." ”

Shen Jinyan stopped and looked up and down at the little eunuch, and asked with a puzzled face, "Are you really in the Empress Palace?" ”

"Returning to Mrs. Yongningbo's words, the slave is indeed, and this is the slave's waist card." Saying that, the little eunuch took off his waist card and held it in both hands, Shen Jin took a look at Anning, and Anning went over and took it.

In fact, these were checked before entering the house, and After An Ning took it and showed it to Shen Jin, Shen Jin nodded and said, "I'll go change clothes." ”

An Ning casually put away the little eunuch's waist card, and the little eunuch was dumbfounded and said, "Slave..."

But found that AnNing and Anping had already helped Shen Jin into the house, and another little girl invited the little eunuch to the convenient room to drink tea, shen Jin did not really change clothes after entering the inner room, but let Anning show the waist card to Grandma Zhao and asked, "What does the empress mean?" ”

Grandma Zhao frowned and looked at the waist plate for a long time before she frowned and asked, "This is indeed the waist card of the Middle Palace, what is Madame's plan?" ”

"Not ready to go." Shen Jin thought for a moment and said that she was now carrying a big belly, and it was not convenient to walk, not to mention that the empress had sent such a small eunuch over, and she always felt a little strange, and Shen Jin was not prepared to take any risks.

Aunt Zhao was relieved in her heart, "The old slave called the doctor to come." ”

Shen Jin thought for a moment and said, "First of all, don't call the doctor, send someone to send the waist card to the Rui King's Mansion and hand it to my mother's concubine." ”

Aunt Zhao was stunned and reacted, and Shen Jin said, "I think Mother Concubine is willing to help." ”

"Anning, you go and give the waist card to Yue Wen." Grandma Zhao heard this and said, "Let Yue Wen be sent to the Rui King's Mansion." ”

"Yes." After Anning responded, he went directly to find someone with his waist card.

Shen Jin said, "Well, don't worry. ”

The little eunuch had already drunk three cups of tea, but Mrs. Yongningbo had not moved, and there was no one else in the room except for the two little girls, and the little eunuch was a little restless, but he thought... Promise, or forced himself to calmly ask, "This sister, I don't know if Madame Bo is ready?" ”

Xiao Yahuan smiled and said with a deferential attitude, "The slave maid doesn't know either." "After saying that, I stopped talking.

The little eunuch couldn't help but get up and say, "That..."

"What does this father-in-law need?" Another little girl asked.

"The queen is in a hurry, and if the time is delayed, the small burden cannot afford to wait." The little eunuch said with an anxious face, "Can you trouble your sister to ask?" ”

Xiao Yahuan frowned and said, "Now that Madame is pregnant, her mobility will naturally be slower." ”

Shen Jin, who had limited mobility, was drinking Jianlian red jujube soup at this time, and after drinking it, he used two pieces of pastries, which made Grandma Zhao go to the doctor, even if he suspected that there was a problem with this person, Shen Jin also had to give a reason why he could not leave the house.

The little eunuch was not stupid, and when he heard the situation of the busy doctor outside, his heart was cold, and he said, "Since Madame Bo is unwell, then..."

However, at this time, he wanted to move but couldn't move, so he saw the little girl who had been smiling and holding his shoulder with one hand and said, "This little father-in-law don't worry." ”

What Aunt Zhao invited was not a doctor at all, but Zhao Guanshi, who looked at Shen Jin and asked, "How is Madame prepared?" ”

"I don't know." Shen Jin said, "I just don't want to enter the palace." ”

"If Madame allows it, then leave the rest to the next person." Zhao Guanshi was overjoyed in his heart, they were still looking for how to arrange their own people to the palace, who had thought that someone would send an opportunity, whether this little eunuch was the empress's person or not, they had to take advantage of this matter to make things bigger, if the empress did not deal with some people, then how could their people have a chance to be promoted.

Shen Jin nodded and said, "Good. ”

Zhao Guanshi asked, "I wonder what lady's intention is in handing over the waist card to Princess Rui?" ”

Shen Jin said reasonably, "Because I don't want to enter the palace." ”

Zhao Guanshi frowned a little puzzled, but he immediately realized and said, "Madame is good at planning." Princess Rui could not only enter the palace but also directly meet the empress and the empress, whether this waist card was true or not, Princess Rui directly took the waist card and asked people into the palace, if the queen really wanted to summon Shen Jin, how could she be so sloppy, Shen Jin was not only Lady Yongningbo or the lord of the county, no matter how urgent things would not just shoot a small eunuch to pass on the word, unless the empress had other plans in mind or someone else took Shen Jin to deal with the empress.

If Shen Jin was summoned by the empress and there was a small accident in the middle, even if it was found out that this person was not sent by the empress, the empress could not get rid of it, and Zhao Guanshi was more inclined to the latter guess, but who was going to deal with Shen Jin? Or is it the queen to deal with?

No, when this little eunuch appeared in the Yongning Bo Mansion with the middle palace waist card, the empress was already out of touch, this little eunuch was afraid of being an outcast, looking at this time the mastermind of the matter was directed at the empress, it should be said that he went to the empress's position, after Chen Chengxiang's accident, the empress's position was probably a little precarious, and Emperor Cheng had not yet established the meaning of the prince, it was inevitable that he would give everyone in the palace an illusion, but a few days ago the empress summoned his family, and Emperor Cheng went to the empress palace to meet with Cheng'en Gong. I'm afraid that some people can't sit still, Zhao Guanshi has smoothed everything out, no matter who did it, the biggest winner is them.

Shen Jin looked at Zhao Guanshi inexplicably, but he didn't know that Zhao Guanshi's heart had already turned nine times and eighteen turns, Shen Jin saw that Zhao Guanshi did not pay attention to himself, and then looked at Grandma Zhao, who understood Zhao Guanshi more and asked, "Does Madame have any orders?" ”

"Wouldn't it be right to give the waist card to the mother-in-law?" Shen Jin asked somewhat cautiously.

Aunt Zhao smiled and poured water on Shen Jin and said, "It's that he thinks too complicated." ”

Shen Jin nodded and said, "I'm really tired." ”

Grandma Zhao responded, in fact, according to Grandma Zhao's understanding of Shen Jin, I am afraid that she has recently concentrated on raising a fetus, this kind of thing that feels troublesome when the general is there, it will be handed over to the general, and when the general is not there, it will be directly handed over to Princess Rui, just like she said, because she does not want to enter the palace, but now the general is not around, so let people send the troublesome matter of waist card to Princess Rui.

Zhao Guanshi thought things clearly, and saw that Shen Jin and Grandma Zhao were whispering something on the side, and they laughed from time to time, with a relaxed look, I don't know why Zhao Guanshi always felt that he was a bit out of place, and he and Grandma Zhao were old acquaintances, and Grandma Zhao became a little unrecognizable to him.

"Zhao Guanshi has thought about it?" Shen Jin just noticed Zhao Guanshi's gaze and asked.

Zhao Guan said in a congratulatory voice, "Yes, if you guess correctly, I am afraid that Princess Rui should enter the palace after receiving the waist card." ”

"Oh." Shen Jin thought for a moment and said, "No. ”

Zhao Guanshi looked at Shen Jin with a puzzled face.

Shen Jin didn't explain anything, until he saw that Zhao Guanshi had been staring at himself, Shen Jin said, "This is a matter of the harem, not a matter of the backyard of the Rui King's Palace, and the mother concubine will not touch her hands." Shen Jin felt that Princess Rui might send the waist card directly to the empress dowager, and it was not sent explicitly.

When Shen Jin said this, Zhao Guanshi also understood, and suddenly felt that he had just said something stupid, and said, "That is in the next retreat." ”

"Okay." Shen Jin felt that he couldn't understand Zhao Guanshi's thoughts, and nodded and said, "By the way, the little eunuch has good food and drink there, don't let him go out." ”

Zhao Guanshi responded respectfully, and Aunt Zhao smiled, "The old slave went to send Zhao Guanshi." ”

Shen Jin nodded and began to discuss with An Ping about the new network, An Ning was adding a few words from time to time, and the three of them didn't seem to realize that the bloody rain was about to happen outside.

Aunt Zhao sent Zhao Guanshi to the door, lowered her voice and said a few words, Zhao Guanshi nodded and said, "I know." "Now this Grandma Zhao is familiar to Zhao Guanshi, and the grandma Zhao who just had a smile on her face will surely only appear next to Madame."

In the Rui King's Mansion, Princess Rui looked at the waist card in her hand for a long time and said, "CuiXi, bring the same smear I sewed two days ago." ”

"Yes." Cui Xi complied and went to find what Princess Rui had said.

Princess Rui looked at Yue Wen and said, "Tell your lady, I know." ”

Yue Wen didn't ask much, and after the salute, he withdrew.

Cui Xi came over holding the smear that Princess Rui said, and Princess Rui looked at it and said, "Find a box, put these two things together, and send someone to call Grandma Yu." ”

Grandma Yu was originally from the Empress Dowager's palace, and Princess Rui specifically asked to come to her daughter as a nurturing grandmother.

When Princess Rui finished commanding, CuiXi let a little girl ring go to Pass On Grandma Yu, and she went to choose the box to put the forehead and the waist plate together, Grandma Yu quickly came over, Princess Rui let Cuixi hand over the box to Grandma Yu, and then said, "Just trouble Grandma Yu to take this trip, The jinmatou is older, and the foundation is weaker, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to take this trip." ”

Grandma Yu was confused but did not ask much and responded, "The old slave must have personally delivered things to the empress dowager's hands." ”

Princess Rui replied, "Cui Xi, send Grandma Yu." ”

"Yes." Cui Xi responded, and after giving Princess Rui a salute with Grandma Yu, she withdrew.

When she left the door, Grandma Yu asked in a low voice, "Trouble girl and I have a clear word." ”

Cui Xi said the matter again, and then said, "The princess and the lord of the county both feel a little strange, the queen is the person who attaches the most rules and etiquette, how can she act like this?" ”

Grandma Yu immediately understood, it is true and it is not good to ask the queen directly, after all, no one knows whether the person was sent by the queen in the end, Cui Xi explained, "Grandma also taught the three county lords, the three county lords are cautious and careful, and now that they are pregnant, Yong Ningbo is not around, there is no idea, this is the side of the princess, if it is really the queen who sent someone, then please the empress... At that time, the princess and the lord of the county will personally go to the queen to make reparations for their sins, if it is not afraid that it will be the opposite..."

This was vague but Grandma Yu understood very well, whether this person was the empress or not, I was afraid that it was all involved in the yin and private, in fact, the three county lords said that the good point was to be cautious and careful, and the truth of what they said was timid and afraid of things, but such a character could also be understood, when in the palace, the three county lords did not dare to say more than one step, like a little pity, who knows when the time comes.

"I see." Grandma Yu said, "Please rest assured Princess Wang, I will contact the old sister in the palace when the time comes." ”

Cui Xi smiled and responded, directly handed over a few purses to Grandma Yu and said, "Princess Wang said that this time it is troublesome for Grandma." ”

Grandma Yu was ready to retire in the Rui Palace, naturally to show loyalty, directly received the purse and nodded with a smile, this purse thing is actually not for her, but let her take it to the palace to do some.

When Chu Xiuming returned to the palace, he only knew about this matter, and at this time, Grandma Yu had already arrived in the Empress Dowager's palace waiting for the Empress Dowager's summons, Grandma Yu herself went out of the Empress Dowager's palace, and many of the people waiting around the Empress Dowager were familiar with Grandma Yu, plus the purses sent by Grandma Yu, but no one was embarrassed for her.

"Princess Rui sent someone to send a smear?" The empress dowager twisted the Buddha bead in her hand, and her eyes did not open.

"Yes." Aunt Zhen, who was waiting in the Buddhist hall, said in a congratulatory voice.

The Empress asked, "Who is it that is sent?" ”

"It's Grandma Yu."

The empress dowager frowned, and did not say anything more, and the person who passed the message did not dare to say much, and after a long time, the empress dowager opened her eyes and said, "Bring something here." ”

After Chu Xiuming listened, there was no expression on his face, but when he put the teacup on the table, the seemingly complete teacup was directly broken, "Very good." ”

"Fu Jun, your hand..." Shen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming with some concern.

Chu Xiuming held out his right hand, Shen Jin saw that there was no trace of a wound, which was relieved, and looked at the cup angrily, AnNing and Anping had already come to collect the fragments and pour water for Chu Xiuming's tea again, Shen Jin said, "Husband Don't worry, am I not sitting here?" ”

"Okay." Chu Xiuming looked at Shen Jin, if it weren't for Shen Jin being at home unharmed, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as simple as squeezing a teacup tightly.

Chu Xiuming closed his eyes and stabilized his mood and said, "Let's eat first." ”

"Yes."

Shen Jin said, "I gave the waist card to my mother-in-law." ”

Chu Xiuming heard this and said, "Madame is indeed intelligent. ”

Shen Jin laughed triumphantly, and Chu Xiuming got up first, then helped Shen Jin up, slowly walked to the dining room, and said, "I'm afraid that the princess has already let people into the palace to see the empress." ”

"The husband is so clever." Shen Jinyan smiled and said, "Zhao Guanshi didn't even think of it, I thought the same thing, hey, are Grandma Zhao and Zhao Guanshi relatives?" ”

"No." Chu Xiuming looked at Shen Jin and asked, "Why do you think so?" ”

Shen Jin also remembered, "They are all surnamed Zhao." ”

Chu Xiuming squeezed Shen Jin's hand and said, "No, in addition to them, there are many people with the surname Zhao around me." ”

Shen Jin thought about it and nodded, "Because Zhao is a big surname." ”

Chu Xiuming did not explain, Shen Jin did not ask again, the two people finished eating, Chu Xiuming accompanied Shen Jin to the courtyard for a walk, Shen Jincai whispered, "Fu Jun, you don't need to discuss things with Zhao Guanshi?" ”

"Is Madame interested in listening?" Chu Xiuming asked rhetorically.

Shen Jin shook his head and said with some distress, "It's so tiring to talk to Zhao Guanshi." ”

Chu Xiuming was amused and said, "Because he thinks too much and is too complicated." ”

Shen Jin nodded, his face full of approval.

In the Buddhist hall, the empress dowager stood up and sat down on the chair next to her, opened the box and looked at the things inside, first took the wiper out, looked at it and put it aside, and then took the waist plate, narrowed her eyes for a while, and then put it back in, turned her head to look at the Guanyin statue, and slowly let out a breath, "Take it." After saying that, he took Grandma Zhen's hand and walked outside.

Aunt Zhen whispered, "Why don't the empress dowager eat first?" ”

The empress dowager nodded, since that incident, the empress dowager has been eating the Buddha, even if it is a dish used at noon, it is very simple, but in the winter only the empress dowager can use so many vegetarian dishes, the empress dowager does not eat much, only half a bowl of rice and a few chopsticks of green vegetables, let people take things down, gargling with tea, let people go to Pass on Grandma Yu.

Grandma Yu had been waiting, and when she saw the empress dowager, she did not immediately say anything about Princess Rui's explanation, but instead looked at the empress dowager with red eyes and said, "The slave maid meets the empress dowager." ”

"Get up." The empress dowager's attitude towards the old man who followed her was still good, and she looked at Grandma Yu and said, "Look at your good looks, I want to come to my daughter-in-law and not treat you badly." ”

"It's all empress dowager grace." Grandma Yu spoke.

The empress dowager shook her head and sighed and said, "My daughter-in-law has always been a wise person." In fact, sometimes the empress dowager would think that if Emperor Cheng had married Princess Rui, would the harem have been more peaceful.

Grandma Yu did not speak, and the empress dowager sighed and said, "What is going on with this waist card?" ”

"Returning to the empress's words, today a little eunuch took the waist card to the Yongning Bo Mansion and passed on the dictation that the empress summoned Lady Yongningbo, and Lady Yongningbo was the most cautious and careful, and the empress was the most serious person, how could she only send a small eunuch with raw eyes, and she was in a hurry, so Yongningbo took his waist card and sent it to Princess Rui to ask for an idea." Grandma Yu said in a congratulatory voice, "Princess Rui can't pay attention to it, so she let the slave maid enter the palace and ask the empress dowager for guidance." ”

The empress dowager had already understood and suddenly asked, "What kind of person is the Lord of the Three Counties?" Recently, she had heard a lot about Lady Yongningbo, and for such a granddaughter, the empress dowager really had no impression, if she had not married Yongningbo, I am afraid that she would still be unknown now.

"The slave maid had the privilege of teaching the Three Lords for a few days." Grandma Yu said, "The three county lords have a very good relationship with the big county lords in the house, and they like to ask the big county lords for advice. ”

Grandma Yu's implication was that Shen Jin was afraid of things and did not pay attention, and the empress dowager frowned and asked, "Which side concubine is the lord of the Three Counties?" ”

"The words of the Empress Dowager Hui were from Concubine Chen." Grandma Yu said in a congratulatory voice.

The empress dowager did not think about it for a moment, looked at Zhen Mama, Zhen Ma said a few words in the empress dowager's ear, the empress dowager nodded clearly, for the son of Rui Wang, the empress dowager still understands, plus the original Emperor Cheng, the empress and several granddaughters said in front of her, this also has a rough idea of Shen Jin's temperament, that is, a non-opinion, a little silly but very lucky, this is also a fool with a stupid fortune.

"I know about it." The empress dowager said, "What about the little eunuch?" ”

Grandma Yu said, "In the Yongning Bo Mansion, Princess Rui just got this waist card, and she let the slave maid enter the palace." ”

The empress dowager frowned and said, "I know, Aunt Zhen, you go to the Yongning Bo Mansion and bring that little eunuch in." ”

"Yes." Aunt Zhen responded with a congratulatory voice.

The empress dowager then said, "Go to the storeroom and prepare something for my granddaughter, so that she can take good care of her." ”

Aunt Zhen responded again, and the empress dowager looked at Grandma Yu and said, "You go back and tell Princess Rui that I know about this matter." ”

Grandma Yu also responded respectfully, and seeing that the empress dowager had no other orders, she withdrew.

The empress dowager said, "Go and pass on the empress." ”

In the Yongning Bo Mansion, after sending Shen Jin back to his room to rest, Chu Xiuming went to the study and looked at Zhao Guanshi and said, "Did you open your mouth?" ”

"I've spoken." Zhao Guanshi said, "This little eunuch said that the great palace maid beside Concubine Chang asked him to come, and the big palace lady was a fellow countryman with him, and promised to serve him in his palace as long as the matter was completed." ”

Concubine Chang? Chu Xiuming frowned, and Zhao Guanshi said, "Concubine Chang has two sons, one is fourteen years old and the other is eleven years old. ”

"What do you think?" Chu Xiuming looked at Zhao Guanshi and asked.

Zhao Guanshi said, "But I feel that I am afraid that someone wants to frame Concubine Chang." ”

Chu Xiuming did not speak, and Zhao Guanshi said, "I also heard a message in xia that Emperor Cheng intended to make a noble concubine, and he chose one of the chang concubines and lan concubines. ”

"You mean that someone deliberately framed Concubine Chang and the Empress for the sake of this noble concubine?" Chu Xiuming asked.

Zhao Guanshi nodded, but Chu Xiuming did not speak, and Zhao Guanshi looked at Chu Xiuming's expression and asked, "I don't know who the general thinks it is?" ”

"Anyone can." Chu Xiuming said in a deep voice, "Especially the one that is the most unlikely." ”

Zhao Guanshi was stunned for a moment and asked, "The general thinks it is the empress?" ”

Chu Xiuming didn't answer, but just said, "Ask Grandma Zhao to come." "The things in the harem are still the things that Grandma Zhao knows best."

Grandma Zhao quickly came over, and Zhao Guanshi repeated the matter and asked directly, "Who does Grandma Zhao think did this?" ”

"The old slave thinks that this is possible for anyone." Aunt Zhao heard this and said, "In the end, such a thing is nothing more than the position of a noble concubine or a prince, but the old slave feels that the most likely thing is the empress." ”

"Why?" Zhao Guanshi asked.

Aunt Zhao sneered, "Such a rough means, concubine Who can sit on the concubine seat and successfully raise two sons, can't be so stupid, thinking that this can frame the empress, and if the empress doesn't fall, she can sit on the empress's seat, and Lan Concubine... If it is for the position of the noble concubine to frame Concubine Chang also said in the past, but this matter involves the queen, Lan Concubine has no children, so it is easy to lift a stone and drop it on her own feet, this matter comes out and the final benefit is the queen, this matter comes out, I am afraid that the queen is the most wronged person among them, and she has been framed. ”

Zhao Guanshi also understood why Grandma Zhao would say this, and when she thought about it carefully, it was indeed so.

Aunt Zhao looked at Chu Xiuming and said, "What is the general going to do?" ”

Chu Xiuming said, "Wake up concubines And Concubine Lan." ”

"Yes." Aunt Zhao complimented.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Grandma Zhao withdrew, and Chu Xiuming and Zhao Guanshi talked about the matter in the court today, in fact, they had already discussed the matter of letting Princess Ruyang and the horse return to Beijing, so that Emperor Cheng could be more at ease, and in a while princess Ruyang could write a letter asking for war horses and grain.

Zhao Guanshi asked, "General, in fact, it is better to trouble Madame..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Guanshi looked at Chu Xiuming's eyes and couldn't say anything more, and Chu Xiuming said in a cold voice, "That matter absolutely cannot be handed over to Madame." "There are their people in the palace, but so far they have not found the opportunity to find those few things," Before long, the palace is afraid that there will be a big purge, you and Aunt Zhao discuss how to make our people move their positions." ”

"Yes." Zhao Guanshi sighed in his heart, and also understood that Chu Xiuming was afraid that he would not let Shen Jin take risks.

"Zhao Guanshi, if you want to think about what you should say and what you shouldn't say, you have a number in mind." Chu Xiuming's voice was calm, but with a warning.

Zhao Guan said in a congratulatory voice, "Yes." ”

Chu Xiuming stared at Zhao Guan for a long time before he said, "All of us can take risks, but in the same way, all of us are not qualified to let my wife take this risk." ”

Zhao Guanshi bowed his head, "Remember in the next step." ”

Chu Xiuming narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Just remember." ”

Zhao Guanshi only felt that his back was soaked with cold sweat, he knew that Chu Xiuming had really moved the killing machine at that moment, but he didn't have any complaints, what the Chu family had sacrificed, how much he had sacrificed, no one knew better than him.

Chu Xiuming said, "For things in Shuzhong, first arrange for people to go over and find a way to blend in..."

Zhao Guanshi nodded, said a few words from time to time, and when all was discussed, Chu Xiuming got up and left, in fact, without Zhao Guanshi saying, Chu Xiuming knew that Shen Jin was the best candidate, but Chu Xiuming would not open his mouth to let Shen Jin do such a thing, anyone could sacrifice for the great cause, but Chu Xiuming would not let Shen Jin be the person who risked being sacrificed, because she was his wife.

Shen Jin had woken up when he returned to the room, and when he saw Chu Xiuming, he smiled, his eyes were bent, and the two dimples were particularly pleasing, "Fu Jun." ”

"Okay." Chu Xiuming replied, "How did you wake up so early today?" ”

"Because I'm waiting for my husband." Shen Jin said with a smile, "I thought of the child's name." ”

"Oh?" Chu Xiuming looked at Shen Jin with a raised eyebrow and asked, "What?" ”

Shen Jin smiled, "Whether it is a boy or a girl, it is called Dongdong." ”

East-East? Southeast, Northwest?

Chu Xiuming looked at Shen Jin and asked, "How did you get this name?" ”

"Or do you prefer chubby, moundy, big, baby?" Shen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming with a face that I could choose, and I gave you the choice of expression.

Chu Xiuming's face remained unchanged and he said, "I think Dongdong is good." ”

Sorry child, father has tried.

Shen Jin smiled happily and said, "I have thought about it, and the children in the future can continue to be called South South, West West and North North, whether it is a boy or a girl." ”

Chu Xiuming heard this and smiled, "Still Madame thinks it through." "So let's have a son."

Shen Jin nodded and said, "Actually, I was thinking that this child was called Beibei, because this child was born in the capital, but I thought that the southeast, southwest, and northwest were more smooth, and the north, west, and southeast were so strange." ”

Chu Xiuming nodded, listening to Shen Jin talk about how to think of this name, from time to time asked Two words to let Shen Jin, looking at Shen Jin's cheerfulness, his heart was also satisfied, anyway, after the child went out to be called The big name, the little name can coax his wife to be happy.

"By the way, husband, who do you think did this time?" After Shen Jin finished talking about the origin of the name, he suddenly asked.

Chu Xiuming said, "What does Madame think?" ”

"O Queen." Shen Jin said reasonably.

Chu Xiuming looked at Shen Jin with a raised eyebrow and asked, "Why do you think it's the empress?" ”

Shen Jin said, "Because we are more familiar." ”

Chu Xiuming looked at Shen Jin, and Shen Jin explained, "Princess Ruyang and Princess Zhaoyang are both the empress's own daughters, and Princess Chenyang is raised by the empress, and none of them like me very much." Shen Jin wrinkled his nose, "I don't like them either, so such a bad thing queen will think of me, and I don't know other people in the harem, at most I have seen a few faces, even if I want to frame people, I won't think of me in a big way." ”

Aunt Zhao, who was on the side, thought about her own analysis, although she and Madame came to the same conclusion, but how to feel that she thought so much seemed a bit silly.

Chu Xiuming was amused and said, "Sure enough, Madame is the smartest." ”

Shen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming and asked, "Is it really the empress?" ”

"Let Grandma Zhao talk to you." Chu Xiuming opened his mouth, Shen Jin immediately looked at Grandma Zhao, and Grandma Zhao looked at Shen Jin's expectant eyes and said what she said in the study again.

Shen Jin narrowed his eyes, "Mama, you are so powerful! ”

Grandma Zhao smiled, "Madame is also very powerful, and she guessed correctly at once." ”

Shen Jin smiled, "Of course, I'm smart." "Chapter Seventy-Four

When Grandma Zhen came, Chu Xiuming was giving a portrait of Shen Jin, Shen Jin was wearing a high-waisted dress of water red moon brocade, his stomach was bulging, leaning on the noble concubine's bed, on both sides were fluffy cushions, his hair was loosely pulled up, more scattered around, there were a few plum blossoms in the vase next to him, but shen Jinren was more delicate than the flowers, lying for a while Shen Jin was a little sleepy, and when he was half asleep and half awake, he had a little more lazy flattery.

Grandma Zhao came in and said something about Grandma Zhen, and Chu Xiuming asked, "Since it was private, I don't want too many people to know if I want to come to the Empress, so I directly invite Grandma Zhen to come in." ”

Shen Jin reluctantly opened his eyes and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Grandma Zhen, who is by the empress's side, is here." Chu Xiuming put down his pen, and Shen Bin, who walked over to Shen Jin, helped her up and let her sit down and explain.

Shen Jin sighed and then asked, "Is the painting ready?" ”

"Not yet." Chu Xiuming was also looking at Shen Jin smiling at that time, and suddenly wanted to draw her down, so there was just that scene.

Shen Jin nodded, Chu Xiuming helped Shen Jin to the living room, AnNing poured warm water and wanted to serve it to Shen Jin, but Chu Xiuming took it, and put it on his lips to let Shen Jin drink a cup, Shen Jin touched his stomach and waved to Anning and said, "I want to change clothes." ”

Chu Xiuming looked at Shen Jin's small actions and understood, AnPing and Anning helped Shen Jin to go to the inner room, saying that changing clothes was actually a small solution, as the child's month grew larger, Shen Jin went to Xiao Xie's number of times has also become a lot more, and when Shen Jin finished xiao xie and changed his clothes and came out, he saw Zhen Mama, Shen Jin nodded at her, and after Zhen Ma Salute, said, "Get up, Zhen Ma Ma sits." ”

Shen Jin sat next to Chu Xiuming, Anping took the cushion and placed it on her waist, Zhen Mama thanked her before sitting down, Shen Jin asked, "Is the Imperial Grandmother okay?" ”

"Returning to Madame Bo's words, the empress dowager is in good health, and today she remembered Madame Bo, so she asked the old slave to come and visit her." Aunt Zhen smiled kindly and said.

Shen Jin nodded, "It should be me, the granddaughter, who went to visit the Imperial Grandmother." ”

Aunt Zhen said, "The empress dowager also knew that Madame Bo was inconvenient, and said that she would let Madame Bo raise her well and wait until later to carry the child into the palace." ”

Shen Jin responded with a smile, and said with some doubt, "That will take a long time." ”

When Aunt Zhen heard this, she was more certain in her heart, this Lady Yongningbo was not the kind of person with a deep heart, "Everything is based on Lady Zhen's body." ”

"The Imperial Grandmother is so nice." Shen Jin sighed.

Aunt Zhen smiled for a moment and did not say anything, and then asked a few questions such as whether the food was fragrant or not, whether it was good to sleep well, shen Jin hugged her stomach and said, "The food is not very good." ”

"..."Aunt Zhen actually just asked politely, showing the empress dowager's concern for Shen Jin, and she didn't expect Shen Jin to take such a sentence.

Shen Jin complained with a distressed face, "I think this side..." Anyway, the lamb is too fatty, the beef is too old, the fish is too little, and there is nothing that makes her eat smoothly.

Aunt Zhen twitched at the corners of her eyes and began to listen to Shen Jin complain that there were too few cakes, no old man Qiao's burnt cakes... Chu Xiuming sat on the side without the slightest dissatisfaction and listened to Shen Jin's complaints, and also poured a glass of water into Shen Jin's hand, Shen Jin took a sip and continued, "Even the green vegetables are not appetizing, the last time I ate that pastry gold silk roll in the Empress Palace, it tasted good, but unfortunately no one will do it..."

At the same time, in the empress dowager's palace, she saw the empress who had lost a lot of weight sitting in her position, she had been here for half an hour, but don't say a word, even the empress's face had not been seen, it was inevitable that there was some uneasiness in her heart, the queen sat on the cold bench for an hour, and saw a palace girl come out of the back room, the queen recognized that it was the empress's side that needed to be used, and the palace maid said after a deferential manner, "The empress said that there was no time to see the queen today, let the queen go back to the palace first." ”

The empress's face changed before she said, "I don't know the empress dowager..."

The palace maid smiled and said, "Back to the empress, the empress dowager asked the slave maid to bring a word to the empress, and the little eunuch has already dealt with it, and only hopes that the empress understands what an empress is." After saying this, the palace maid lowered her head and stood aside.

The empress grasped the hand of the veil tightly, and reluctantly smiled, "The concubine doesn't quite understand, I don't know if I can ask to see the queen?" ”

The palace maid said in a congratulatory voice, "The empress dowager has stopped." ”

No wonder the empress dowager would suddenly summon her today and let her sit on the cold bench for so long, the empress only felt that her heart was tight, it was impossible, obviously all arranged properly, how could she suspect her.

The queen was flustered in her heart, and when she left, her face was a little pale, and her footsteps were inevitably flustered for a few minutes.

In the Yongning Bo Mansion, in the end, Aunt Zhen even had some taste of desertion and fled, leaving behind the reward of the empress dowager, taking the little eunuch away, and when she returned to the empress dowager's palace, the little eunuch disappeared, and the empress dowager seemed to have no idea that there was this person, and directly asked, "What do you think?" ”

"Yongningbo is very fond of the Three Lords." Aunt Zhen thought of the small actions between Yong Ningbo and his wife, and every time Yong Ningbo poured water on Shen Jin just right, let Shen Jinrun lubricate his throat and continue to speak, he was not impatient at all.

The empress dowager twisted the Buddha beads and said, "The fate between people and people..."

Aunt Zhen knew that the empress dowager remembered the past again, and she bowed her head and did not dare to say anything more, until she heard the empress dowager ask, "What about that person?" ”

"The Three Lords are very lively." Aunt Zhen said, "I'm quite fond of talking, and I have some memories of the golden silk scrolls in the Empress Palace." ”

The empress dowager asked, "Didn't she ask about the little eunuch?" ”

"Not really." Aunt Zhen said.

The empress dowager narrowed her eyes and said, "What about Yong Ningbo?" ”

"Yongningbo didn't open his mouth." Aunt Zhen said in a congratulatory voice.

The empress dowager nodded and said, "I am also a measured child."

Aunt Zhen had been serving the empress dowager for a long time, and she had a little more courage than the others, "The slave maid thinks that I am afraid that the three county lords do not know about the little eunuch being taken away." ”

The empress dowager was stunned, and after a long time she said, "Well." Took a sip of tea and didn't say anything more.

In the Yongning Bo Mansion, Shen Jin was also a little tired, and looked at Chu Xiuming with an expectant face, "Fu Jun, do you have anything to be busy with?" ”

"Nothing." Chu Xiuming looked at Shen Jinde and pinched his fingers on her earlobes.

Shen Jin stood up with Anning's hand and said, "Then I'll go change clothes." ”

"Okay." Chu Xiuming responded, "I'll wait for you in the study." ”

Shen Jin nodded with a smile, looked at Grandma Zhao who had just come out, and said, "The things that the Empress Dowager rewarded, Grandma should clean up." ”

Grandma Zhao responded, Shen Jin changed back to the dress of the moon Huajin, and then returned to the position where he had just been lying, lying down comfortably, looking at Chu Xiuming, who was seriously painting on the cushion, the color was not charming, people were drunk, Shen Jin looked at it for a while, touched his stomach, yawned a little, and began to sleep confusedly.

Half asleep and half awake, I heard the sound of Grandma Zhao coming in.

Aunt Zhao held a magnolia hairpin in both hands and said, "This was found in shu satin when the old slave was packing up his things." ”

Which white jade hairpin Chu Xiuming had taken, it was a very simple hairpin, but it could be seen that the jade used was excellent, as if it was often played with by people, the oil was beautiful, Chu Xiuming looked at Grandma Zhao.

Aunt Zhao whispered, "This is the thing of the Crown Princess." ”

Chu Xiuming frowned and took over and asked, "Sure?" ”

"Yes." Aunt Zhao said.

Chu Xiuming took it and looked at it for a long time before he said, "Is there anyone in the Empress Dowager's palace?" ”

"The old slave doesn't know." Grandma Zhao said in a congratulatory voice.

Chu Xiuming suddenly saw the noble concubine on the bed, Shen Jin was already awake and was holding a cushion and looking at them curiously, Chu Xiuming put down the magnolia hairpin and walked over, reached out and sorted out the hair on Shen Jin's face and said, "Why don't you open your mouth when you wake up?" ”

Aunt Zhao also brought water over, and Chu Xiuming helped Shen Jin sit up.

Shen Jin took a few sips of water from his cup and said, "I'm a little hungry, is fujun drawing well?" ”

"It's pretty much painted." Chu Xiuming knelt on one knee, put on Shen Jin's shoes, and then took her hand to the desk and let her look at the picture of the beauty sleeping on it.

Shen Jin's face was full of surprise, "Fu Jun is really powerful." ”

"Less than half as beautiful as Madame." Chu Xiuming said.

Shen Jin smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Fu Jun is really good." ”

Chu Xiuming smiled a little, seeing that his wife was happy, and his heart was also happy, Shen Jin naturally saw the magnolia hairpin on the table, "Who is this?" ”

Grandma Zhao looked at Chu Xiuming, Chu Xiuming nodded, and then said the matter again, Shen Jin oh, and looked at it twice and didn't care, Grandma Zhao said, "What does Madame think?" ”

"It's beautiful." Shen Jin was talking about his own portrait.

Grandma Zhao smiled and said, "Not as good as Madame." ”

Shen Jin laughed happily, and Chu Xiuming asked, "Madame thinks this hairpin should be handled?" ”

"Do you know who crams it in?" Shen Jin asked rhetorically.

Aunt Zhao said in a congratulatory voice, "I don't know. ”

Shen Jin's eyes did not leave the portrait, and he said naturally, "On the list?" ”

"Not there." Aunt Zhao replied.

Shen Jin said, "Then put it away and put it aside." ”

Chu Xiuming's eyes narrowed a little, indeed, they didn't know whether the person who put this hairpin was an enemy or a friend, nor did they know what the figure was, coming out of the empress dowager's palace, although the empress dowager was now eating fast and reciting Buddha, but in the early years was not a simple character, otherwise how could it be from a small palace girl to today, since someone wanted to test, as long as they moved, they fell into the inferiority, it was better to use static braking, no matter what the purpose, since this person had already made a move, I was afraid that there would be a follow-up.

And as long as he moves, it is inevitable that he will leave clues.

Aunt Zhao was actually just confused by this jade hairpin, and at this time she also calmed down and said, "Since Madame is hungry, the old slave went to the kitchen to urge." ”

Shen Jin nodded, Chu Xiuming reached out and picked up the jade hairpin and handed it to Grandma Zhao, Shen Jin frowned and asked, "Can I see it?" ”

Grandma Zhao smiled and put the hairpin in Shen Jin's hand, and Shen Jin took a closer look at it, and then returned it to Grandma Zhao and said, "Okay." ”

"Anping, you go to the kitchen with the old slave, and first bring some pastries to cushion the lady." Aunt Zhao said.

An Ping responded and went out with Grandma Zhao, An Ning also came out of the study, and closed the door from the outside, Shen Jin looked at Grandma Zhao and the three of them, blinked and whispered, "How do they know that I have something to say to her husband." ”

Chu Xiuming smiled and nodded at Shen Jin's nose, Shen Jin's face could not hide things, just now his face was full of hesitation that I knew some things but was not sure whether to talk to her husband.

Shen Jin saw that Chu Xiuming did not open his mouth, nor did he ask any more questions, only to feel that Grandma Zhao and herself had a sharp mind, hugged their big bellies and said, "I seem to have seen it at the mother concubine... It feels a bit like this. ”

Chu Xiuming looked at the Divine Skill, and Shen Jin thought about it carefully before saying, "It's not like this, it seems that the jade quality is worse than this, it seems that the magnolia petals are also slightly curled like this..."

"The Crown Princess loved magnolia flowers." Chu Xiuming said, "So many people have also become popular with magnolia-style jewelry." ”

Shen Jin nodded, but these were not the same as other magnolia jewelry, and sure enough, Chu Xiuming said, "I remember Grandma Zhao said that the princess's jewelry patterns were all drawn by the prince himself." ”

"Oh." Shen Jin suddenly asked, "When will Fujun paint me?" ”

Chu Xiuming smiled and said, "Good. ”

Shen Jin was satisfied with this, and no longer cared about the matter of magnolia, took Chu Xiuming's hand and said what she liked, such as she preferred colored flowers and liked to bloom brilliant and beautiful flowers... Chu Xiuming wrapped his arms around Shen Jin's waist and walked towards the direction of the dining room, already having an idea in his mind, and he also felt that his wife was more suitable for bright colors.

Grandma Zhao asked AnPing to go out to serve pastries is just an excuse, soon the meals are all laid out, Shen Jin sat down after cleaning his hands, Chu Xiuming sat next to Shen Jin, the two of them will not be extravagant when they are not much, they are the dishes that two people like, it should be said that more inclined to Shen Jin, red rice porridge, and small buns, Shen Jin ate eight points full and stopped, Chu Xiuming ate the rest, and just ate eight points full, Grandma Zhao never prepared too many things.

When he went to sleep at night, Shen Jin suddenly remembered and asked, "Husband, what about that little eunuch?" ”

Chu Xiuming gently stroked Shen Jin's back and said, "I was taken away by Grandma Zhen by the empress's side." ”

"Oh." Shen Jin closed his eyes, afraid that it was the little eunuch... Can't live, her hand is gently placed on the stomach, she has no vendetta against the little eunuch, but the little eunuch hurts her for selfish purposes, no one is more innocent than anyone, and Shen Jin fell asleep after thinking about it for a while.

At this time, the empress in the palace could not sleep over and over again, and Yuzhu got up and asked, "Niangniang, do you want to drink some water?" ”

The queen sighed and sat up, Yuzhu quickly took the clothes to cover her, the palace maid lit the lamp, and the queen said, "Pour me a glass of water." ”

"Yes." Another palace maid brought water.

The queen took a sip and frowned, "Change." ”

Yuzhu quickly took over and poured the water with her own hands, and the water she drank when the queen was upset was slightly hotter, and sure enough, after the queen drank a cup this time, she said, "Yuzhu stayed, and everyone else retreated." ”

"Yes." The palace ladies and grandmothers in the house quickly withdrew and closed the door.

Yuzhu knelt on the foot pedal to pound the queen's leg and asked, "Niangniang, but what is the trouble?" ”

"That thing... Really no one will find out? The queen said with some hesitation.

Yuzhu gongsheng said, "Niangniang rest assured, the slaves are all properly arranged, and they will definitely not be able to find Niangniang here." ”

The empress frowned and said, "But the empress dowager..."

Yuzhu said softly, "Niangniang, if the empress dowager really has evidence, how can this be?" ”

"Moreover, the little eunuch only went to yongning Bo Mansion in the morning, such a short time." Yuzhu said.

The queen's eyes narrowed, indeed, if the empress dowager had evidence, it was not like this, but it was just a temptation, if she shook her feet...

"Okay." The empress responded, looked at Yuzhu and said, "Then follow the plan." ”

Yuzhu responded, "The following has nothing to do with Niangniang, Niangniang is the one who was framed." ”

The empress nodded, and Yuzhu said in a congratulatory voice, "Does Niangniang still want water?" ”

"No more." The queen waved her hand, and her heart settled, "Turn off the lights." ”

"Yes." Yuzhu waited for the empress to lie down again, and carefully arranged the bed curtain, which turned off the light, "The slave maid is on the foot, if the lady is in trouble, even if the lady is in trouble, call the slave maid." ”

The empress did not speak, thinking in her heart, thinking about the words that the empress dowager let the palace maid pass, her heart was irritable, if she could, would she be willing to do so? If Her Majesty had made her son the crown prince early, she would not have been unstable in the position of empress, the emperor even wanted to set up a noble concubine, Lan Fei had a favor, Chang Fei had a son, no matter which one was not a fuel-saving lamp, and those younger girls, the empress reached out and touched her face, in this harem, only by sitting on the position of the empress dowager could she really stabilize.

Thinking of the empress, the empress also felt depressed in her heart, and the empress dowager supported her, but although the empress dowager ate and prayed to the Buddha, she was unwilling to give up her power, and the empress was afraid and respectful of the empress.

At this time, the Empress thought of Concubine Chang and Concubine Lan did not sleep in the palace, Princess Lan looked extremely beautiful, and the temperament around her was like that of the Empty Valley Youlan, elegant and cold, even at this time it was a face of indifference, as if nothing could make her move, the palace girl around her Jingxi said, "Will someone deliberately harm Niangniang?" Who sent the news? ”

Lan Fei shook her head and said, "I'm afraid that such a thing can't be faked." ”

Jing Xi frowned, her face full of anxiety, "What if Concubine Chang thinks that Niangniang did it?" The matter also involved the Queen. ”

Lan Fei said, "Prepare me a gift, tomorrow I will go to see Concubine Chang." ”

Jing Xi said, "Niangniang, could it be that Concubine Chang deliberately framed Niangniang?" After all, the noble concubine's seat..."

Lan Fei just looked at Jing Xi, but she didn't say anything, and Jing Xi didn't dare to say anything more, saying, "That slave maid will go and prepare." ”

In the Changfei Palace, the lights were also on at this time, and Cai Xuan changed a cup of hot tea for Changfei, "Niangniang, do you want to rest first?" ”

"Cai Xuan, who do you think it will be?" Concubine Chang frowned and asked.

Cai Xuan said in a congratulatory voice, "The slave doesn't know." ”

Concubine Chang took a sip from her teacup and said, "Let's go to bed." ”

"Yes." Cai Xuan waited for Concubine Chang to go to bed and rest, while she stayed in the house to wait.

Lying on the bed, Concubine Chang did not sleep, she only felt that her heart was chaotic, anyway, now That Her Majesty had not yet decided on the candidate for the crown prince, why couldn't she argue about it, otherwise would the prince really be able to accommodate her two sons at that time? Just by virtue of the strength of the queen's two sons? Concubine Chang sneered in her heart, how did King Rui Get Hurt in the first place? Not even the Crown Prince.

Lan Fei? Concubine Chang felt that no, Concubine Lan was not that kind of fool, and she had no heirs, so she offended both her and the empress for a noble concubine? So who is it?

Thinking about it, Concubine Chang vaguely fell asleep.

Because the empress dowager has been worshipping the Buddha for many years, so she does not want the concubines in the palace to go to greet Ann in the morning, so everyone only needs to sit quietly in the queen's palace for a while, after inviting the empress to be safe, they can leave, this day even the queen's people have not seen, Lan Fei and Concubine Chang came in and exchanged a look, both people sat in their positions and did not open their mouths, today the queen did not see them, not long after the people came together, they saw the jade bamboo beside the empress and said, "The empress dowager is unwell today, please go back to the palace first." ”

All the concubines also had no opinion, they all resigned and left, after ChangFei returned to the palace, she let the palace maid prepare tea and cakes, and sure enough, it wasn't long before she saw Lan Fei bring the palace maid over, and Chang Fei was not surprised but just said, "Sister come to taste the tea from her sister's side." ”

Princess Lan nodded, and after asking the palace maid to deliver the prepared gift, she said, "I came today to say something to my sister." ”

Concubine Chang smiled and said, "Then let's go to the house and talk." ”

Lan Fei responded, and after the two people entered the house, they directly opened the doors and windows to let the palace ladies all retreat, and Lan Fei did not sell Guanzi, and said directly, "Sister, I know that yesterday a little eunuch took the waist card of the Middle Palace to invite Lady Yongningbo to enter the palace." ”

Concubine Chang said, "I know, and I know that the little eunuch that the people in my palace are looking for." ”

Lan Fei said, "What does my sister think?" ”

Concubine Chang asked rhetorically, "What does my sister think?" ”

Lan Fei narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Sister knows that my sister can't be pregnant in this life." ”

Concubine Chang was stunned for a moment, and her eyes flashed with surprise, which she really didn't know, And Concubine Chang said, "I remember that my sister had..."

"Well, it is precisely because of that child that he injured his body, and both the Empress and Her Majesty know about this." Even Lan Fei, who has always been indifferent, talked about this matter with a little more pity and hatred on her face, "At the beginning... Forget about the past. Lan Fei looked at Concubine Chang and said, "However, my enemy and my sister's enemy are probably the same person." ”

Concubine Chang immediately understood lan concubine's meaning, afraid that the child was removed by the empress, but it is also possible that lan concubine has no child and no background to sit firmly on the concubine's throne, relying on the emperor's favor, if there is a son, I am afraid that she has already been promoted to the position of a noble concubine, and a woman harmed by the empress can no longer be a mother, even if it is replaced by her, I am afraid that I will not be spared.

At this time, Concubine Chang was sure that this matter was really the empress's doing, in order to just shout after the thief and make the emperor abolish the mind of the noble concubine.
