Chapter 156 Between Advance and Retreat
Qiu Yunxian said impatiently: "Mother, what's the use of you asking this? I wish the master has the ability, and said that he wants to sell embroidery overseas, so he wants to go to Huadu Mansion to open a branch." ”
Hui Jing was frightened: "Silly girl! She's not going to open a semicolon! she's running for her life!"
Qiu Yunxian was taken aback, "Mother, what are you talking about?"
Hui Jing pulled her to the table and sat down, and said, "What did my mother do to lie to you? You didn't believe what I said in the past, do you know what she Zhu Hanying relied on to support the Zhilan Embroidery Workshop!" Hui Jing looked at Qiu Yunxian's puzzled expression, and then said: "Zhu Hanying is holding Lord Shen in her hand, it is the marriage book written by Shen Shilang to her......!
"Marriage book?" Qiu Yunxian thought for a long time, his eyes widened and widened, "How could a big official like Shen Shilang write a marriage letter to Master Zhu! Don't be kidding!"
Hui Jing said hurriedly: "Silly girl! Do you think that an embroidery girl from a state and county, because of what kind of Zhilan embroidery workshop is propped up? Is it just a matter of embroidery with one hand? This capital is full of places that eat people and don't spit out bones, and there is no backing background, so they have already been eaten and wiped clean!" Hui Jing heard that Zhu Hanying was going to Qindu Mansion, and her first thought was that this was just a disguise. Shen Shilang met her at a young age. Shen Shilang's wife, Mrs. Lin, is An Yuanhou's daughter-in-law! This marriage letter was lost inexplicably, and it is expected that this matter will not be able to be hidden soon, Zhu Hanying has no one to rely on, neither Shen Shilang nor Mrs. Lin will let her live! So she just wants to escape!"
Qiu Yunxian looked at Hui Jing blankly, as if his brain couldn't turn around. "This ...... Mother, mean, we'll be implicated too?"
Hui Jing's face was full of sorrow, "My mother shouldn't have promised her to help her hide this thing, but you were too young at the time, and my mother was really afraid that you would have three longs and two shorts, so I had no choice but to respond to this matter...... Now, since this thing has been touched by your hands, how can it be so easy to get rid of, that's why my mother asked you to run away with me before, but you refused to leave......"
Qiu Yunxian's face changed, "But." If she can escape, maybe we won't be fine......"
"How do you know the methods of those high-ranking families!"
Qiu Yunxian looked at Hui Jing and said, "Mother, do you know the methods of those people?"
Hui Jing's throat and eyes choked, and she hiccuped twice, as if she had thought of something, and her face turned pale. She said, "Yunxian, let's go quickly! I have no problem leaving Beijing in the name of Yunyou, you just need to pretend to be Xiaoni and follow me......"
Qiu Yunxian bit her lip, last time she categorically refused to leave Beijing, although she didn't want to wander around, in fact, most of it was because of that prince. "Mother, I'm not reconciled...... I want to go to Huadu Mansion with Satsuki, you can go by yourself. ”
Hui Jing's face changed: "What did you say?"
Qiu Yunxian raised his head and said, "Mother, I wish Xiaoyue to rob her daughter's marriage! My daughter must take Wang Gongzi back from her hands!" Her tears fell again, "What is the difference between me and her? I am always a head shorter by her side, and Wang Gongzi actually treats me as her slave! Mother...... Why let her step on my head every day......"
Hui Jing looked at Qiu Yunxian, who was grieving, and sighed...... If she hadn't paid her true heart by mistake, maybe she would have died in the palace a long time ago, because fate would have happened, this was all fate...... "Since this is the case, you will follow Zhu Xiaoyue to leave Beijing, and your mother and you will leave with your front and back feet, and we will meet in Huadu Mansion then!"
Qiu Yunxian saw Huijing agree, and went to the end again and again, "Yes, mother, I know." ”
In the middle of the night, the drums of the second watch gradually faded, the Jinhuan Palace was still overcrowded, Concubine Yi was about to give birth, and all the girls and mothers-in-law were hanging with their hearts, waiting from far and near, for fear that something would go wrong. Shen Jiayi was supported by Mama Huang, walking slowly in the hall, with an excellent complexion: "Mama, I heard that when a woman gives birth to a child, she walks in the ghost gate...... I was a little panicked...... "She felt a labor ache in her stomach during dinner, and this time has been several times.
Mama Huang has a wide forehead and wide ears, and is a kind face, she is an old mother who is very experienced in production, "Don't worry about the mother, whether the danger of giving birth to a child is still divided, I know that it is easy to give birth when I see the shape of the mother." "Mama Huang is a close person around the Queen Mother, I heard the imperial doctor say that Concubine Yi has two in her belly, needless to say, the old man likes her children the most, so she sent Mama Huang over, which is a rare honor for the concubine.
Concubine Yi walked a few laps, sat down to rest, her sitting posture was very beautiful, although the slender and soft palms were slightly swollen because of pregnancy, they were still white and delicate, and they were overlapped on the abdomen at this time, which had a soft and charming state. Mama Huang nodded secretly, Shen Jiayi said that she was afraid, but she was actually very calm.
Another wave of labor pains hit, each time more intense and frequent, Shen Jiayi frowned, when Mama Huang saw her like this, she knew that she was about to give birth, and hurriedly helped her to lie on the bed, "Niangniang, relax, save your strength." The girls began to boil water, and everyone began to get busy. The four stable women stood quietly beside Concubine Yi's bed, staring closely.
In Bixiao Palace, Concubine Hui gently sipped tea, her snow-white fingertips were dyed a little pink because of the heat of the tea cup, and the long delicate armor on her little finger looked extremely luxurious under the reflection of the candle flame. The palace maid standing beside her picked up incense and said softly: "Niangniang, Concubine Yi's side is about to give birth." ”
Concubine Hui is already in her forties, but there is another tactful style that is free from the shackles of time, even though she lacks the youth and freshness of a girl, but the wisdom and calmness that has been precipitated over the years makes her better than thousands of women. She let out a soft 'um' and didn't say anything else. Shixiang looked at her face and said, "Niangniang, everyone in the hospital said that Concubine Yi had two in her stomach, should we ......?"
"Not necessarily. Concubine Hui smiled kindly, who can see her most kind and cunning skills. "No matter if she gives birth to a pair or a pair, it can't become the climate, so why should we bother to hate this?"
"Niangniang means ......"
"Even if Shen Jiayi gives birth to a prince, even if it is two princes, but she, or the Shen family, where will she have time to wait for the young prince to grow up? The balance of power between the DPRK and China has been broken, and the struggle between the adult princes has also begun. If she can see clearly, maybe she can live in peace and stability in this life, but if she has illusions, her life will not be guaranteed......"
"The Shen family is in trouble again. "Shixiang's voice is gentle and steady," Lord Liang sent news, I heard that the abyss had a private meeting with the second concubine in the Li Mansion, and Mrs. Lin directly decided on this marriage, and even threatened the marriage of the Lin and Shen families, trying her best to promote this family affair, it seems that there is another inside story. ”
"Oh, Lin Changjun?" Concubine Hui's beautiful eyebrows raised high, "Lin Changjun follows An Yuanhou's temperament, disdains to be bad behind his back, and does not want to pretend to be close to her, if this matter is serious, the inside story becomes worth investigating......"
Shixiang said in a low voice: "Do you want someone to check?"
Concubine Hui nodded, "Be careful not to reveal your hiding." It would be great if this matter could be used to separate the Lin and Shen families. ”
The Jinhuan Palace was mixed with the footsteps of everyone and the moans of pregnant women. Shen Jiayi's sweat rippled, and she continued to exert herself with the guidance of Wen Po, and Emperor Xuwen walked to the door of the room and asked, "How is it?"
Someone immediately stepped forward to report, "Niangniang has given birth to a princess, and she is cleaning at this time, because Niangniang has another in her belly, so you will need to wait for a while." ”
Just as he was talking, there was a baby's cry in the room, and a stable woman rushed out of the room with a happy face in her arms, and saw that Emperor Xuwen was in front of her, and hurriedly knelt down to report the good news: "Congratulations, Niangniang has just given birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, and the mother and child are safe!"
Emperor Xuwen was overjoyed, held the newborn prince in his arms, and said with a smile: "Reward! A hint of gloom flashed in Emperor Xuwen's eyes, and then he said: "Concubine Yi will be crowned Concubine Yi! When the concubine is well-nourished, the canonization ceremony will be held on an auspicious day." ”
Everyone agreed, in the room, Shen Jiayi heard the voice of Emperor Xuwen when she was weak, and the joy in her heart had overflowed, the dragon and phoenix were auspicious, a good omen! From then on, she had a firm foothold in the palace, with the support of the Shen family behind her, and there was a smooth road ahead......
When the news spread to the various prefectures, some people were happy and some were worried, but the Shen Mansion, which should be the most happy, was gloomy at this time.
Shen Hao didn't expect the Lin clan to act like this, no matter how old and spicy he was, he was also confused by the Lin clan's sudden hand. He sat in the study with Shen Wenhan and stared wide-eyed, and finally couldn't help but say, "Yuan'er, why haven't you come here yet?" When is this coming? He's not in a hurry! Tell me when the time comes, why do you have to have a reason for this? How could such a thing come about inexplicably? Not to be told by someone who is calculated, and then you have to marry in a prosperous manner? I have never heard of such an outrageous thing in my life!"
Shen Wenhan never thought that the marriage book that he hadn't picked out from Zhu Hanying's hand for so many years would be easily obtained by Li Shuci. At this time, he didn't know that the cause of the incident was in this place, so he exhaled heavily and said, "Yuan'er said that he should think about it. Father, otherwise, let the mother persuade the Lin family, and the mother and the Lin family can still talk a few words......
"Your mother, if your mother is willing to take care of this family, why is there a miasma in the house? Look at your ...... You don't care if your daughter-in-law doesn't care, this time it's good, this time you still poke out such a big basket!" Shen Hao blew his beard angrily and glared, his daughter-in-law picked a child when it was time to take care of things, and his son's daughter-in-law directly picked a child before she could take care of things, and the huge Shen Mansion was stunned that there was no housewife in charge of a hundred years of foundation! Shen Wenhan's little concubines who concealed people's ears were still chirping crookedly all day long, making the backyard unpeaceful!
Shen Wenhan looked at his father's face and said cautiously: "The Lin family said to me today, 'You want me to change my mind, unless my three children come back from the dead......!'
