Ma Xiuying was very embarrassed, it was obviously not the right time for her to come, and she was about to leave, when the silkworm girl came out with a pile of broken porcelain pieces, and saw her hurriedly saluting, "The princess is fine." ”

The sound alarmed the people in the house, and Li Qi'er staggered out, smiling very unnaturally, "Why don't you let people notify the princess when she comes, and the little sister will come out to greet her." ”

"You're going to give birth, I'll come and see you. Ma Xiuying didn't want to leave again, so she held Li Qi'er and didn't let her salute, "Don't work in your body, go into the house and rest." ”

Zhu Di had already wiped his face clean, and there was still a hint of crying in his voice, "Mother is fine." ”

Ma Xiuying saw that his eyes and nose were red, and hugged him distressedly, "Your mother is about to give birth to a baby, and she is a little nervous, so she has a bad temper, you have to forgive her and don't make her angry." ”

"I see, thank you, Princess. Zhu Di snuggled in Ma Xiuying's arms, and his head couldn't help but rub affectionately. He felt that Ma Xiuying was better to him than Li Qi'er was to him, never lost his temper with him, and was always amiable. And Ma Xiuying has a good smell of refreshing smell, unlike Li Qi'er, who has to spray all kinds of pungent incense powder on her body every day.

Li Qi'er was very dazzling when she saw this scene, and she held back her anger and said, "Di'er, you haven't fully integrated the knowledge taught by your husband, go down and study." ”

Zhu Di frowned when he heard this, he really didn't like endorsements.

Ma Xiuying rubbed his head and coaxed gently: "Go, there is no harm in learning more knowledge, your mother is for your good." In addition to your eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother are not as diligent and studious as you, and now you are also an elder brother, and you will have to set a good example for your younger brothers and sisters in the future. ”

The child's competitiveness was stimulated, and Zhu Di nodded, "Well, I want to study hard, and I will definitely be better than the second and third brothers in the future." ”

Seeing Zhu Di leave happily, Li Qi'er couldn't help but feel a little jealous, "This kid always doesn't listen to his little sister, or my sister has a way." ”

Ma Xiuying persuaded: "Di'er is a very smart child, but his temperament is a little tough, if you don't let him practice martial arts, he will definitely be unhappy, and the more you force him, the more unhappy he is." In fact, you don't have to worry too much about his future, he likes martial arts and hates literature, which is exactly the same as the prince, the prince has great achievements, and he will not be far behind in the future. ”

"Cheng sister Ji Yan. Li Qi'er smiled reluctantly, did not accept the topic, and asked instead: "How is Shizi's health recently?" The little sister has long wanted to visit her sister and Shizi, but unfortunately the few maids around her did not allow the little sister to go out of the Begonia Garden, and she bothered her sister to come over in person. ”

Ma Xiuying smiled, "You are in an extraordinary period now, and it is right to be cautious in everything." But this is your second child, so it should go well. ”

"I heard that Concubine Lian and Concubine Hui gave birth to a county lord respectively, and the little sister hasn't had time to congratulate her. I don't know if the little sister is a man or a woman. Li Qi'er looked down at her belly, this time there was no diagnosis from Mrs. Wu, she did not know the sex of the fetus, although she already had a son, she still hoped to have another son. In the royal palace, a son is always more expensive than a daughter.

It's a pity that Mrs. Wu is not in Yingtianfu now, otherwise she would ask Mrs. Wu to help take a look. Mrs. Wu's husband, Wu Liang, was sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to guard Jiangyin, and it was estimated that he would have to stay for several years, so Mrs. Wu took the children to Jiangyin together.

Ma Xiuying didn't want another mother who was indifferent to her daughter, and said: "A son has the benefits of a son, and a daughter has the benefits of a daughter. Before, the house was full of boys, and the prince was annoyed, so the prince liked the two county lords very much, and he was given a title just after birth. “

Li Qi'er was faintly unhappy, she wanted a son, but Ma Xiuying said that she had a daughter, she really didn't care about other people's feelings when she had more sons. She felt uncomfortable, and her speech was a little perfunctory.

Ma Xiuying couldn't help but think of Li Qi'er's nervous appearance when she was pregnant for the first time, and she came to ask for shelter, no matter how big the month was, she had to report it every day. This time, Guo Hui was also pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, so she didn't come to toss her, so she was not so nervous. Seeing that she was a little absent-minded, Ma Xiuying chatted casually a few more words and got up to leave.

Back in the main courtyard, Xunying has not come back yet, and Ma Xiuying always feels empty in her heart. Looking around, there are at least hundreds of wives and concubines and servants in the palace, and none of them can speak, even if the relationship is quite close, Ma Xiuying can also detect a faint alienation from her tone.

The huge palace, magnificent, with gorgeous clothes and food, made Ma Xiuying feel bored. Now there are more and more women in Zhu Yuanzhang, and the new concubines are all young and enchanting, and they are being favored by Zhu Yuanzhang. So much so that Zhu Yuanzhang came to her like a routine report, and left after speaking. What is the difference between this and those men in the previous life who cheated outside and left their wives at home and neglected, but other men have to cheat secretly, and Zhu Yuanzhang is just generous.

Every time she thinks of this, Ma Xiuying's numb heart is still hurt and bloody, and she warns herself again and again not to care about Zhu Yuanzhang anymore, and only thinks about the three children. However, when Zhu Yuanzhang really has something, she can't put it out of the way, after all, they have been together for many years, even if the love is weak, there is still family affection. Besides, their fates have long been tied together, Zhu Yuanzhang can only be good if she is good, this is a kind of binding that cannot be separated from or broken, perhaps it is what people often call fate.

Sleepless all night, Ma Xiuying got up listlessly the next day.

Also haggard was Xun Ying, who rushed to respond in the middle of the night that the gates of Tianfu were closed, so she had to wait outside the city for the city gate to open, so she appeared in Ma Xiuying's room early in the morning.

Ma Xiuying was startled, she was relieved to see that it was Xunying, she wanted to continue to make up for sleep and wanted to know about Xunying and Mu Longsheng, and finally her curiosity overcame Zhou Gong, she got up with difficulty and asked Xunying to tell what happened.

"He's gone. Xun Ying tilted his head in a daze, tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, and the grievances that had been held all night were finally vented at this time.

"Didn't I tell you to go with him?" Ma Xiuying's sleepy worm was startled.

"The slave is gone, what are you going to do?" Xun Ying glared at her angrily, as if complaining that she didn't know the good heart.

Ma Xiuying sighed, "Silly girl, is it that there will be no one to serve me when you leave, and besides, I don't need anyone to serve me if I have hands and feet." ”

Xun Ying retorted: "That's different, except for slaves, no one is sincere to you. ”

Ma Xiuying couldn't cry or laugh, Xun Ying's expression was very confident when she said this, but she couldn't bury her own happiness for this reason.

She was just about to continue to persuade Xun Ying, but Xun Ying said: "Brother Mu said that he only has two masters, you don't want him, he will go to Brother Yao." The slave persuaded him to stay, but he said that he preferred the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, and then the slave and maid did not force him and let him go. ”

Ma Xiuying felt that she was more wronged than Dou E, she just wanted to give Yingwei a good future, she didn't want these people, Mu Longsheng was obviously hurt by Xunying, but he put the responsibility on her. This guy, if you have the chance to see him, you must beat him up.
