Chapter Seventy-One: The Growing Branches

In the next few days, Jiang Luxian was almost confined to her boudoir, and even her activities on the ground were blocked, and a room of maids and maids served her meticulously, and when Qingming and Ling Ding came back to serve her, they were also cautious.

In the room, all the furniture with sharp corners are wrapped in soft cloth, in addition to all kinds of soup cups every day, Jiang Luxian also has to drink a bowl of black things, saying that it is a medicine bar and the mouth is sweet, which will not make her feel the slightest, and later learned that it is the secret recipe for the fetus in the palace, Jiang Luxian was cared for for the first time in his life, and he was entangled with anxiety and joy for a while, and there were many contradictions.

Jiang Luxian didn't know that she had been arranged by her family to die at this time.

After the birthday banquet, Mrs. Jiang felt that something was wrong, and he was unusually in a hurry to reveal that the prince's side concubine was pregnant, and specially summoned the dark line red leaves of the East Palace to ask, the red leaves said that the prince had not stayed overnight in the Yuqi Palace, but she didn't know if the prince had a cloud and rain with the side concubine, Jiang Taifu was even more uneasy when he heard it, and sent someone to investigate, and said that Jiang Luxian seemed to have an affair with the monk of Fahua Temple, and it was no longer confirmed, and the monk was directly dealt with.

Although he was annoyed that Jiang Luxian was bold, it was inconvenient for Jiang Taifu to question Jiang Luxian at this time, or it didn't matter who the child in Jiang Luxian's womb was, Jiang Taifu was just waiting for that opportunity, the accident arranged by Shi Xizai, the accident that made the prince never come back, it doesn't matter if Jiang Luxian is born of a dragon or an earthworm, deal with his biological mother, this child will be the last straw for the Jiang family to defeat the prince's faction.

Of course, Mrs. Jiang also prepared for the worst, Shi Xizai was defeated, and the prince came back safely, then Jiang Luxian would still be disposed of, and together with this child, he would be annihilated in this world.

Therefore, Mrs. Jiang blocked the news that Jiang Luxian was pregnant, and Mrs. Jiang's letter to the East Palace only said that Jiang Luxian was sick and went back to live in the house, neither saying the reason nor how long she would stay.

Because at that time, Bandit Shi was checking the lost grain and grass information and communicating with the Tumen Inn, and there were many affairs on his body, so he didn't ask about this matter, and Qi Caicai was too lazy to see Jiang Lu idle and noisy, and only hoped that she would 'let the birds fly in the sky', how could she refuse, and ordered someone to pack up Jiang Lu's common things and send them to Taifu's mansion, and Jin Zhu carefully added some supplements to send them together.

Therefore, only the Jiang family and Shen Xiaone knew about Jiang Luxian's affairs, and it was not until the prince really lost his news that the news of the prince's concubine being pregnant spread, although some people questioned it, but Jiang Luxian's mellow abdomen coupled with the judgment of the Qi court and the testimony of Princess Muyang, the iron-clad facts made everyone who had not yet walked out of the various emotions brought about by the disappearance of the prince more and more overwhelmed.

Now, except for Jiang Luxian himself, there is almost no one who does not want the child in Jiang Luxian's womb to be born, needless to say that the Jiang family faction, even those supporters of the prince also hope that the child is safe, and the posthumous son will at least let His Royal Highness the prince have heirs to continue the bloodline.

Speaking of the issue of the prince's heirs, some people inevitably complain about the crown princess, she is too young to have children, and she still doesn't add people to the East Palace, delaying the royal bloodline inheritance! I don't know where these words came from, and more and more people are talking about it, and the reputation of the crown princess for being jealous and unvirtuous has also spread.

No one remembers the agreement between the prince and Qian Shangshu.

The son of the Qian family's 'hidden disease' was actually fine before the prince left, and gradually began to go out for activities, but since that incident, he no longer goes to Fengyue places, and he has become more disciplined.

The lifeline of this inheritance has been preserved, Qian Shangshu is naturally happy, seeing that his son is very well-behaved, he is also quite emotional, because he heard his colleagues talk about the princess is a jealous woman in the early dynasty, and actually refuted a few words, for the sake of the prince's friendship, Qian Shangshu always felt that the princess's irascible little girl did not understand at all, how to talk about jealousy and virtue?

The rest of the people in the court couldn't help but laugh at Qian Shangshu's "big belly can accommodate the world's affairs", but they also remembered that the few ladies in the East Palace were His Royal Highness the Prince's own wishes, so they closed their mouths and dispersed.

But the terrible rumors are in the market, how do those little people know what is at stake, in their eyes, there are only two concubines on the front and side of the crown year with the identity of the crown prince, no matter how you say it, the princess is not virtuous. The mothers-in-law with broken gong mouths speak even more unpleasantly, they are jealous of the nobles who are high, and they can't tolerate a few words on their backs on weekdays, but now they have the opportunity, they spit that the princess is a bewitching demon girl, disturbing the feng shui of Dayong, otherwise how could His Royal Highness the prince keep winning the battle and suddenly disappear? talked about the strange atmosphere when the crown princess first entered Beijing, which was really convincing.

"There is a banshee in the east of the purple qi, and the blood basin can eat people, disturbing the people's livelihood and causing the strong man to go and not return."

Qi Caicai heard someone talking outside, slowly opened his eyes, and heard Chu'er say angrily: "Where did you hear it, what did you say!" If you chew your tongue in Yan'an Palace, you won't be spared! ”

"Sister Chu'er is so angry, the slave maid is just talking to Sister Hai'er about rumors outside the palace, why are you so frivolous?"

"Sister Chu'er, don't worry, Hai'er is here to accompany you, it's all hearsay nonsense, don't take it seriously."

Outside, which maid is whispering with?

Qi Caicai coughed twice, put on a thin shirt and stepped on his shoes to go outside, seeing Chu'er glaring at the two opposite, like a rabbit that had been provoked, he asked with a smile: "What's wrong?" ”

As soon as Chu'er wanted to say something, Hai'er said: "It's just a few jokes with Sister Chu'er, the princess doesn't have to work hard, rest a lot, the weather in autumn is cold and warm, don't aggravate the condition." ”

The words are good, Qi Caicai has always been healthy, he has never been sick since he was a child, he knew that the prince was missing, but he suddenly felt a cold, and he did not heal for more than ten days when he was sick, Chu'er felt sorry for his master, and he didn't want to block the master anymore, so he stopped talking and stepped forward to help Qi Caicai.

However, Hai'er saw that Qi Caicai was in good spirits, and said: "Princess, the slave maid thinks that she should take the side concubine back, let's take care of her, and watch her give birth to the little emperor and grandson in peace, so as to block the mouths of those outsiders." ”

Hai'er said it to the point, and she was thinking about Qi Caicai, but mentioning Concubine Jiang's pregnancy at this time was undoubtedly another blow to Qi Caicai, and Chu'er couldn't help but say: "Concubine Fang is doing well in the Taifu Mansion, how can you afford what happened when she comes back?" ”

"Sister Chu'er, that's what I said, but the crown princess is the main mother, and this should be the East Palace's affairs are now being done by the Taifu Mansion, so it's like saying that the crown princess can't bear it. What's more, Concubine Jiang must be more precious than us to her belly, and we just need to eat and drink well to serve her when we bring it back, so as not to spread those gossips more and more, right? ”

The last sentence means something, the folk rumors are indeed getting more and more unbearable, and she doesn't mind relaying it to the crown princess.
