Chapter 343: Heal, Scar, Forget the Pain
Zhu Biao has already sacrificed to the ancestral tomb and is on the way back, and I don't know whether it is because of Zhu Yuanzhang's prestige or the elite soldiers and good horses have played a deterrent role, or the officials from all over the country have strictly cracked down on the Liukou mountain bandits, this road has been surprisingly smooth, except for Zhu Biao's own request to stop and visit the villagers and listen to the people's opinions, almost no people who are not long-sighted have stepped forward to block the team.
Hearing that Zhu Biao was frugal and courteous all the way, whether it was to his own soldiers or to the people, Ma Xiuying was very pleased, she didn't want Zhu Biao to be arrogant and arrogant just because he was the prince of King Wu, and she didn't see what happened to the arrogant and domineering second generation of officials like Guo Tianxu.
Zhu Fan and Zhu Di are also much more honest, although there are still some bad habits that have not been changed, at least these two are no longer as arrogant and lascivious as before, they don't learn and have no skills, Ma Xiuying can finally stammer when she takes the school exam.
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, in the past few months, Ma Xiuying's injuries have recovered quickly, after all, the medical environment of the palace is hundreds of times better than the battlefield, and Zhu Yuanzhang also called all the famous doctors in Ying Tianfu to sit for consultation, and then there are various tonic supplies and maids and servants to take care of them, and gradually Ma Xiuying's face is getting more and more ruddy, and even a few pounds fatter than before.
When she was full of energy, Ma Xiuying was a little restless, wondering if she was looking for an excuse to go out of the house to bring her son back.
As soon as her thought came to her, she was interrupted by Sunkage in horror.
Xunying really obeyed her master, other women are trying to attract Zhu Yuanzhang's attention and get Zhu Yuanzhang's favor, she is good, thinking about running out all day long. There is chaos outside, how can there be peace and tranquility in the palace, it is really a typical good scar and forget the pain. Besides, Zhu Yuanzhang rarely fights in person now, and basically returns home every day, Ma Xiuying disappeared for a day or two, maybe Zhu Yuanzhang will not notice it, and it is strange that Zhu Yuanzhang does not doubt it if he disappears for a long time.
In order to prevent Ma Xiuying from secretly leaving the house, Xun Ying followed her for almost twelve hours, trying her best to divert her attention, and even slept on the small couch outside Ma Xiuying's bedroom, as long as there was a slight movement inside, she opened her eyes as soon as possible.
Seeing that Xun Ying was so honestly afraid, Ma Xiuying had no choice but to hold back her thoughts and stay in the house obediently.
That's it, Xun Ying is still not at ease, and persuades Zhu Fan and Zhu Di to visit Ma Xiuying from time to time, and warmly invites Li Qier to bring Zhu Di over to play.
Zhu Di looks more and more like Zhu Yuanzhang, everyone said that the two were carved out of the same mold, and he was Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite son except for Zhu Biao. However, he and Zhu Biao's temperament is opposite, Zhu Biao likes to be quiet, he likes to move, Zhu Biao can't practice martial arts because of physical reasons, he has infinite strength since he was a child, Zhu Yuanzhang specially invited Chang Yuchun to teach him archery, and he was able to pull out the five-bucket bow at a young age.
Chang Yuchun was amazed and said to Zhu Yuanzhang that in time, Zhu Di might be able to surpass him and pull a bow of more than three stones.
Zhu Yuanzhang loved this fourth son more and more, urged him to practice martial arts diligently, and taught him to be a brave general in the future and open up territory for his eldest brother.
Zhu Biao has always cared for his younger brothers, so Zhu Di also respects his eldest brother. Every time Zhu Yuanzhang taught like this, he clenched his little fist and vowed to protect his eldest brother in the future and guard the country for his eldest brother. In fact, where does such an old child understand what the country is, it is nothing more than Zhu Yuanzhang subtly making him feel that it is his responsibility to defend the eldest brother's country in the future.
Li Qi'er's heart is gloomy, her son is smart and clever, capable of writing and martial arts, but unfortunately no matter how good he is, he can only saddle up and back beside Zhu Biao in the future. Thinking about it like this, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and she no longer walked around Ma Xiuying's main house as diligently as before. Every time Xunying came to invite, she resigned because she was pregnant and inconvenient.
Xun Ying didn't think much about it, but Li Qi'er was really worried about her body.
Fortunately, there is no Li Qi'er, Li Guihua and Sun are willing to talk to Ma Xiuying, and they come to visit Ma Xiuying from time to time. One of these two people was originally from Ma Xiuying's side, and the other surrendered early, so Ma Xiuying was also willing to chat with them.
Li Guihua has followed Ma Xiuying for several years, and she knows Ma Xiuying's personality well, so she doesn't believe the rumors in the house that are unfavorable to Ma Xiuying, but she humbly adopts all the precautions that Ma Xiuying guides her to get pregnant.
In fact, her nature is not bad, but she was bewitched by Yu Suxue and lost herself, and she wanted to climb the big tree of Zhu Yuanzhang. Over the years, she has long changed from a girl who is ignorant of the world to a mature and rational woman, she knows that she is not favored by Zhu Yuanzhang, only Ma Xiuying has given her a sincere care, she regrets that she has betrayed Ma Xiuying's trust, and takes the initiative to refute those rumors that are unfavorable to Ma Xiuying in the house, and protects Ma Xiuying's reputation everywhere.
After going back and forth, Ma Xiuying was moved by her, and the two gradually resumed their intimate relationship as master and servant.
Sun is the only woman in the house who is not pregnant, and she may not be able to get pregnant for the rest of her life.
Ma Xiuying asked Mrs. Wu to treat her, she was different from Li Qi'er's situation, in order to train her into a stunner who exuded fragrance and charm from the inside out, Ma Shixiong specially soaked her body with special potions, these potions have completely damaged her body, even Da Luo Immortal can't condition her body as before.
can't have children, and can't eat a lifetime of youth, so the Sun family is very smart attached to Ma Xiuying, she knows very well that as long as Ma Xiuying doesn't fall down for a day, she can protect her for a day.
Ma Xiuying didn't break her careful thoughts, there is a price to pay for gaining loyalty, just because she can afford this price, and the other party is willing to show sincerity, so why not.
On this morning, the magpie was jumping on the branches, and Xun Ying happily asked Shen Wansan's wife Lu Xiaoqian to see her.
Ma Xiuying was pleasantly surprised, "Sister Lu is actually here, hurry up and welcome you in, no, I'll go to greet you in person." After speaking, he hurried to the gate.
I saw a magnificent carriage parked at the foot of the steps, and beside the carriage stood two pretty maids, holding a noblewoman with gorgeous clothes and plump bodies, looking at the palace with earnestness.
Many wealthy ladies who came to visit Panqin were secretly guessing the identity of this noble lady, and suddenly saw Ma Xiuying personally out of the house to greet them, and couldn't help but quietly smack their tongues, not knowing how powerful the noble lady's origin was. If they knew that this woman was just the wife of a businessman, and her status was not as good as that of these ladies, I don't know how they would feel.
Ma Xiuying welcomed Lu Xiaoqian into the mansion and said with emotion: "I have been separated from Sister Lu for several years, and now I see you again, it's really like a dream." ”
Lu Xiaoqian hurriedly saluted, "Thanks to the princess's love, the little woman is terrified. ”
Ma Xiuying pretended to be unhappy and said: "Why is Sister Lu so angry with me, I often think about you and Xiao San'er." If you are here to see Princess Wu today, you may have to wait outside the mansion, well, those ladies outside the mansion are all asking to see Princess Wu; if you are just here to see your little sister Ma Xiuying today, you can see it now. ”
Lu Xiaoqian was helpless and shouted in a low voice, "Sister Xiuying, you are still so eccentric." ”
"That's right. Ma Xiuying smiled and looked carefully around Lu Xiaoqian, "I see Sister Lu's ruddy complexion, smooth skin, beads and greenery, and rich and graceful, I think that Xiao San'er is not bad to Sister Lu." ”
Lu Xiaoqian blushed shyly, "You just laugh at me, they are all mothers, and they are not light or heavy." But why does your complexion look a little lacking?"
