8. Visitors after the nightmare

"Xianji, you are pregnant, why don't you cherish yourself so much?"

The Donglu clan's concerned reproach made Xianji stop in front of the hall, and she didn't dare to move again, looking at the Donglu clan timidly, her eyes full of anticipation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing her showing such a pitiful expression, Huo Xingjun immediately felt impatient, snorted coldly, pushed her around a few times, and didn't want to look at her.

"Da Ji ......" The young woman was startled by Huo Xingjun's undisguised annoyance, and muttered, but she didn't know what to say.

Donglu glanced at his daughter helplessly, and then said to the young woman: "It's not the first time you've been pregnant, do you want me to send someone to teach you to do things again?"

When Xian Ji heard this, her face turned white, and she stood speechless under the hall, her body trembling a little.

Seeing a glimpse of Xianji's gesture, Huo Xingjun couldn't help but be full of disgust, if it weren't for the fact that she was also pregnant and couldn't speak ill of her, she really wanted to scold her mother.

Mother and daughter are connected. The daughter was surrounded by an aura of disgust and displeasure, where did the Donglu clan still have the heart to care about her husband's favored concubine? She immediately instructed the two servants behind Xianji: "You should be careful to send Xianji to bed. After saying that, he got up and planned to make his daughter happy.

"The Female Monarch (Note 1)" ......" Xianji refused to go back with the servant, but stepped forward and hesitantly opened her mouth to call the Donglu clan.

"What's the matter?" Dong Lu stopped, and his voice couldn't help but bring out a little impatience.

Xian Ji's face was pale, and the whole person was shaky, but she was very persistent in saying her own question: "But there is a letter from my king?"

Dong Lu frowned, looked at Xian Ji in surprise, and his tone was cold: "What does the husband's family letter have to do with you?"

Xian Ji was trembling and speechless, and finally mustered up the courage to answer the female monarch's question, so she heard Huo Xingjun ask lightly: "Jiajun (Note 2) gave his mother's letter, can my mother understand?"

Xianji's face turned red for a moment, and she lowered her head, unable to distinguish half a word.

When she didn't remember, she was sold into the Donglu family as a slave, where did she have the opportunity to read?

"You go back and rest!" Dong Lu didn't say anything more, just ordered her to leave again.

Xian Ji didn't insist any longer, and was helped out of the inner courtyard of the main hall by two servants, watching his father's wife pet Ji leave, Huo Xingjun turned to look at his mother: "Mother shouldn't have spared her as a concubine at that time!"

Donglu came to her daughter's side, took her daughter's hand, and smiled nonchalantly: "You also call her a concubine...... Such an attitude would break Aweng's heart. ”

Huo Xingjun pouted: "That's a mother's kindness." "A slave is fortunate to be favored by the lord and has a child, and she is not qualified to be called "concubine".

Dong Lu smiled helplessly: "Xingjun, your father only has one son now. ”

- The only son of the husband is the son of the maidservant...... She can't do this kind of embarrassing thing for her husband.

It's not a young age to be a wife, Shangguan An is young, and he is an only son, he loves Fengliu the most, and she doesn't bother to count how many little wives and maids there are. Huo Xingjun didn't understand these truths, but she felt annoyed when she saw Xian Ji posing in front of her mother.

Looking at her daughter's unwilling and helpless look, Dong Lu couldn't help but wonder: "It's the mother who is not good." When you are pregnant, you are more irritable than usual. Okay, don't be angry with my grandmother's grandson for irrelevant things......"

Mother persuaded her like this, Huo Xingjun would not show her face no matter how unhappy she was, besides, after thinking about it, her mother was not wrong, but she valued that concubine too much.

- Although her mother exempted her from the status of a slave and let her be a concubine, she can be allowed to become a slave again at any time as long as her mother is willing (Note 3), which is really not a worry!

After thinking it through, Huo Xingjun threw the matter of Xianji out of the clouds, talked to his mother affectionately, and accompanied his mother to deal with housework. Huo Xingjun was pregnant for the first time, and was hungry for acid, these days were the days when the peach began to be harvested, she almost regarded it as a staple food, and when the slave maid served the food table, she happily ate the peach when she remembered that she had not read her husband's family letter, and quickly asked the maid to open the letter bag and unfold the letter on the case.

Shangguan Anxin just greeted his wife, and told him to take care of himself, but it didn't make any sense, Huo Xingjun asked the maid to put away the brochure and letter bag after reading it, and he didn't take it to heart at all.

Seeing that the sun was in the west, it was estimated that it would be near the sun (not yet, from 13 o'clock to 15 o'clock), Dong Lu's family saw that his daughter was leaning on a few days, her eyes kept blinking, and she knew that she was sleepy, so she gently persuaded her to go back to bed to rest.

Huo Xingjun was really sleepy, so he didn't make a sound, just nodded, and got up and walked to the inner bed.

Since she was pregnant, Huo Xingjun had to take a nap every afternoon, and sometimes she slept until Shen Shi, only to wake up by the slave maid and have dinner with her aunt, but today, for some reason, although she was sleepy, she was never steady, and when she was half asleep and half awake, she felt that her whole body was stiff, as if she was pressed by something heavy, and her hands and feet were also tied, and she couldn't move at all.

“…… Lucky ...... Lucky ...... Wake up...... Luckily!"

Just when she was frightened, her mother's hurried call suddenly sounded in her ears, and gradually became clear, a spirit, she suddenly opened her eyes, sat up suddenly, and then felt a dizziness of the sky, and her waist was weak, and she lay back weakly.

"What's the nightmare?" Dong Lu was frightened and frightened, while twisting the silk handkerchief to wipe his daughter's sweat, he talked to himself anxiously, and suddenly came back to his senses, and told the maid to ask the old man to send someone to ask for a witch.

When Huo Xingjun heard this, he stretched out his hand to stop his mother: "Don't." Mother, where can I get witch characters in Chang'an City now?"

Although she is a woman in the house, the Donglu clan is not unclear about the matter of Shui Heng Du Wei Jiang Chong's edict to govern witch Gu.

Seeing that so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Beique Jiadi and Xuanping Guili had been arrested for witch tricks, and the case was found to be true, she was punished with great rebellion and implicated in the family, how could she not be afraid? When she heard her daughter mention this, she couldn't help but panic, and her heart was anxious, and tears immediately fell.

"What can I do about this?" Dong Lu held his daughter's hand, worried and anxious.

Huo Xingjun smiled and comforted his mother: "My daughter is fine, I'm just in a hurry." ”

It's not all words of relief, it's just a nightmare, and when you calm down, you'll be fine.

Seeing that her daughter's face was gradually improving, Donglu was a little relieved, but she still forced her daughter to drink a cup of warm goat's milk to calm her mind.

Although goat milk is a good thing to moisten the heart and lungs and nourish the kidneys, but the smell is too strong, Huo Xingjun can't bear to brush his mother's meaning, and he doesn't want her to worry more, so it is easy to drink it up, and he has to force the feeling of vomiting, in order to divert his attention, he hurriedly said to his mother: "Mother, what about Ah Weng's letter? Let me read it again." ”

"Why do you think of that?" Donglu was puzzled, but still told the maid to fetch her husband's letter. As soon as Huo Xingjun wanted to get up, he was stopped by his mother: "You just lie down." When the letter slip was taken, Dong Lu unfolded the brochure and personally held it for his daughter to read carefully.

After watching it for a while, Huo Xingjun never said anything, and the Donglu clan moved the brochure in confusion, but saw that her daughter was thinking about something with a solemn expression.

"Lucky ......"

"Xiaojun, I have a visitor. ”

As soon as the Donglu clan spoke, he heard the report from the old family outside, and couldn't help frowning, and secretly said in his heart: "There are so many visitors today!" ”

The old man didn't immediately agree, he was silent for a while, and said, "Xiaojun, the one who came is the prince's ......."

"Zhang He?" Huo Xingjun said in surprise.

"Exactly. He replied out loud, but he was not an old man.
