171.Xia Ji's Troubled Times (11)

Xiao Su followed Chen Linggong into King Chen's palace smoothly. Before leaving, her eyes swept wide, and she glanced at her father as if she had unintentionally, causing him to bump into him like a fawn.

Natsuki acted as if she hadn't seen the little movement between them. Horizontally and vertically, it has nothing to do with them. I can finally live a peaceful life in the future.

Xia Nan was the most excited, a long-cherished wish for many years came true one day, and the young man pulled Xia Ji to chirp for a long time and looked forward to the future. Natsuhime kept saying yes. At the end, the boy looked at Natsuhime intently, and suddenly stopped speaking.

"What? Do I have anything on my face? Natsuhime touched her cheek and said in surprise.

"Nope. Mother, you're not the same as you used to be. The boy looked at his mother's eyes, and there was a different kind of affection in it.

"Oh! How is it different? Natsuhime said with interest.

"In the past, in order for me to inherit my father's title, you could endure the difficulties of everyone in the world. Sometimes it's really distressing to watch! But now you won't blindly endure it anymore, you will work hard, you will fight back, and you will even lay out for them to jump. You are stronger and braver than before. ”

Xia Nan looked at Xia Ji with fiery emotion in her eyes.

"Oh? Do you see what I've set up? Natsuki keenly grasped the issue. In ancient times, children were precocious, and I don't know how precocious this child would be.

"Last time Gongsun Ning's incident, you asked me to let Chasing Ying out and bite him, which seemed to be casual, but in fact, it made the other party unable to harass you for a long time, and ruined his own reputation. I'm afraid it's not surprising that he deliberately came to cause trouble for us after he was injured! You killed two birds with one stone, not only dealt with Gongsun Ning, but also pulled out the thorn of Xiao Liu'er. ”

Xia Nan knew that his mother was testing him, and he shared what he observed and thought. In front of his mother, he doesn't need to be obscure or anything.

Natsuki nodded in satisfaction. It's rare for this kid to be able to see this. People in this era have not yet summed up the disease of rabies, and they don't know that it will kill people, let alone that it can actually be cured. So Xia Ji's entanglement and final choice on whether to save Gongsun Ning at that time, Xia Nan couldn't see it. But this is not the reason for his lack of intelligence, but the limitations of the times. This kid is already very observant.

Xia Nan saw her mother nodding her head, like a child who had received candy, and continued excitedly.

"The reason why you chose to send Xiaoxu into the palace this time is not only because she has no background, she is smart but not shrewd enough, and she has no ability to control us in turn, but also because she happens to be the one who served the father of ceremonies, right? If she just votes for the king's favor, she is not the most suitable person. We can choose more faithful people to do this. And you don't. So, this must be a pit you dug for Yixing's father. I can't see the depth of this pit yet. ”

Slap, slap, slap, this is Natsuhime's crisp high-five.

"My son has grown up. Even these can be seen. Natsuhime looked at her son with pride on her face, "Mother is very pleased!" You're growing faster than your mother thought. ”

"Mother, you've won the prize!" Xia Nan smiled as if the sun was shining on his face, and he had a little youthful shyness.

"And what kind of me do you prefer? Was it like it used to be, or is it like it is now? Natsuki asked, raising an eyebrow.

"You used to be very respectable. But now you, I like it better. Xia Nan said seriously.

Natsuhime nodded. With his own changes, this child is not so introverted! This is a good trend.

After Xiao Su was brought into the palace by Chen Linggong, she was named the peach concubine, because Chen Linggong loved the peach blossom fragrance on her body no matter where she went. Because the living environment of the two was very different before, Chen Linggong also had enough freshness for Xiaoxu.

Life has changed dramatically from the past to the present. Xiao Su finally doesn't need to swallow his anger anymore and look at people's faces to do things.

Xiao Su asked Chen Linggong for a decree and took his parents to a house in Wanqiu in the name of filial piety. She felt very satisfied to see them trembling and fearful in front of her.

In the past, the father of the ceremony who was lying on himself and shouted Mrs. Xia's maiden name "Su'e" now finds an opportunity to be courteous to himself. Xiao Su occasionally teased him and asked him to prostrate on the ground and kiss his feet, and he was willing.

One day, Xiao Xu was really bored, so he asked people about the current situation of Xiao Liu'er, a good sister in the past. When people are proud of the spring breeze, they always like to share with others. Unexpectedly, she was sold to the Rejuvenation Building.

It turned out that about a month after Gongsun Ning's injury, he began to feel dizzy, nauseous, feverish, and listless. Later, it developed into a fear of wind, light, and convulsions. In the end, he was paralyzed in bed, unable to do anything, and just passed away some time ago. But the wound has healed before! He's been out before! At the time, it didn't seem like a problem at all.

The people outside said that it was because Gongsun Ning had done something bad, and God would repay him! The people in Gongsun's Mansion thought that this qiē was brought by Xiao Liu'er, and regarded her as a disaster. Because Gongsun Ning did not give Xiao Liu'er a name until her death, nor did she make any arrangements for her, Mrs. Gongsun insisted that the child in Xiao Liu'er's belly was not Gongsun Ning's, saying that she did not abide by women's morals and sold her to the Rejuvenation Building. Her child was also not born.

"Madam, Xiao Su took Xiao Liu'er to her." As soon as Fu'er got the news, she hurriedly told Xia Ji. These two people are mixed together again, I don't know if it will affect the affairs of Sima Mansion.

"Oh!" Xia Ji pondered for a moment and continued the flower arrangement work in hand. "Leave them alone."

One is to show off, the other is unscrupulous, and the next one is a good show. However, Natsuki was not in the mood to put too much energy into them.

"Go and call Nan'er and Uncle Concubine." Natsuhime put the flowers on the table by the window, picked up the scissors and carefully trimmed the leaves.

"Yes!"

After a while, Xia Nan and Uncle Fei rushed over.

"Stand down, all of you! Fu'er, you guard the door. ”

When there was no one else in the house, Xia Ji put down the scissors in her hand, motioned for Xia Nan and Uncle Yu to sit down, and then turned her head and asked Uncle Concubine: "Uncle Concubine, I am a woman's family, Nan'er is still young, and there are some things that I still need your help to worry about." Last time I asked you to pay attention to the matter of Prince Wu, how is he doing there? ”

"Madame is gracious. The old slave is a member of the Xia family, so naturally he has to work hard for the Xia family. Prince Wu has been reprimanded by the king several times recently for some trivial things, but he often drinks alcohol. Once he was drunk and molesting the palace maid and was seen by the king, who was furious and now let him be grounded in his palace, and he would not come out until next month. Uncle Fei replied with a white beard.

"It seems that Xiao Su is doing a good job." Xia Ji looked at Xia Nan and said, "You can start to contact with Prince Wu." You can leave your face blank and send some of your subordinates down to explore the way. Our Sima Mansion has military power, as long as he is not a fool, he should also want to use our support. ”

"Mother, if the crown prince really wants us to help him ascend to the throne, then we ......"

"It's not that way yet. The king just doesn't like him, but he's still the king's only son. He's just stockpiling up his strength for the future! ”

Xia Ji thought for a while, and said to Xia Nan: "If you really talk about this topic, you tell him that if you want to sit firmly in the world, you must have great talents to help." Your father said back then that the Wachen of Chu and the sheep tongue of Xun will be talented people when they grow up, and they are not paid enough attention in their own country. If he wants to sit firmly in the world, he can find a way to get them to Chen Guo. ”

"The child remembers." Xia Nan nodded obediently.

There is no way, she is a woman, she can only stay in Zhulin at present, Nan'er is still young, so she can only use the power of others to get the husband and son-in-law in the previous life of the original owner.

This world is very chaotic, the vassal states fight me and I fight you all day long, Chen Linggong acts absurdly and likes to blindly mix in all kinds of wars. Since he succeeded to the throne, he first allied with other countries to jointly attack the state of Di. Later, he took advantage of the change of power of the Song State to attack the Song State, but the Song State sent some money and let him withdraw the army. But it didn't take long for him to attack the Song Kingdom again. After that, he cut Zheng again. In short, it is a variety of works.

Others fight because it is profitable, but Chen Linggong is purely to join in the fun. There is no stake at all, and he has to run up and intervene. Now all countries are eyeing Chen Guo, and they all want to take the opportunity to teach Chen Guo a lesson!

What's more, Chen Linggong has managed the country in a mess. In the previous life, after Xia Nan killed him in a fit of anger because of his insults to the original owner, no one in the whole Chen Kingdom felt sorry for him.

With such a monarch, it is inevitable that the Chen Kingdom will become chaotic. If Watson and Sheep Tongue can come to help him plan as soon as possible, with the intelligence of the two of them, they will definitely be able to keep themselves and Nan'er! Natsuki thought so.

Xiao Su is pregnant. She hadn't enjoyed this joy for long before she found that Chen Linggong's interest in her had obviously faded. And Xiao Liu'er has changed from her personal maid to Chen Linggong's "Liu Concubine".

Xiao Su angrily went to Xiao Liu'er to settle the account.

"Xiao Liu'er, I rescued you from the Rejuvenation Building, and you betrayed me!" Xiao Fu was so angry that he was almost stunned.

"Help me? Hum! That's a nice thing to say. If you are really good to me, why don't you want to share the king's favor with me, and put me by your side as a maid, and you yourself as a commanding master? You're just trying to put me by your side and let me watch you enjoy it every day. Xiao Liu'er pouted and said.

"You bitch!" Xiao Su was so angry that she slapped her.

Xiao Liu'er dodged in a flash, and said with a smile: "Why are you so angry?" Anyway, you're pregnant, and you can't serve the king. Why don't you let me serve you? Anyway, without me, there will be others. Don't you treat me like a sister? It's better to cheapen your own sisters than to cheapen others, right? ”

"Don't think about it! I won't tolerate you. A person who has stayed in the Rejuvenation Building, I don't know how many men have touched him, is also worthy of being compared to me? Xiao Su impulsively said what was in his heart.

"Hmph, so what? I've stayed in the Rejuvenation Building, so my room skills are better than yours, and even the king praises it! You despise me because of this, how much better are you yourself? Didn't you serve the king before you served the father? You were still hooking up with him some time ago, thinking I didn't know? Who knows whose child it is! ”

Anyway, I tore my face. Xiao Liu'er couldn't be polite at all. Her words are like knives, and the knives see blood. looked at Xiao Su's slightly bulging belly, and his face was full of disdain.

Isn't it just a child? Although he was poured safflower soup in the Rejuvenation Building, he couldn't give birth, but he couldn't give birth to others. When there are no children at that time, who wants to ride on whose head?

"You...... Ah......h

"Save my child......" Xiao Su stretched out her hand to Xiao Liu'er in a panic. They had just driven all the men away. There were just the two of them here. She could only ask Xiao Liu'er for help.

"Don't worry, I'll save you!" Xiao Liu'er slowly squatted down beside Xiao Su, and her smiling face became more and more hideous, "After your child is completely hopeless!" ”

"You...... I won't let you go! Xiao Su endured the pain in her body, her expression was desperate, and she gritted her teeth and said this,

"You wouldn't have let me go! From the day the king took a fancy to me, you won't let me go, will you? Xiao Liu'er smiled indifferently. Her expression was particularly dazzling in the eyes of Xiao Su, who was lying on the ground.

When Xiao Su lay motionless on the ground and completely fainted, Xiao Liu'er pretended to be panicked and ran out to call someone.
