31. Fragrant
left from Danwei Garden, and for the rest of the day, except for the family banquet at noon, Song Chen stayed with Chu Xue.
The children learned that their father had returned home, and they all came to say goodbye, and the boys explained their homework, and returned after about half an hour, while Xiao Song Ning stayed all morning, and after pestering his father, he wanted to pester Chu Xue again, and her mother refused to take her away several times, but fortunately, it didn't take long for noon, and a large family of people in the front yard used up the dust washing banquet prepared for Song Chen together, and they all returned.
Song Chen was down-to-earth again, and he really rested here for a while in Chu Xue. How many years have not been so idle, the courtyard full of begonias is delicate and dazzling, a room of jasmine is even more fragrant, wake up in the afternoon and drink tea, listen to the piano, flip through the idle books and set up the chessboard, it is really pleasant.
If you are only willing to be a vassal king, this kind of day is actually at your fingertips.
Because Song Chen was there all day, Ruyue never found a chance to whisper a few words to Chu Xue, and Song Chen finally went to the front yard on the morning of the second day, and Ruyue closed the door, her face was a little worried.
Chu Xue glanced at her, "What's wrong?" Got something on your mind? ”
Ruyue finally said bluntly, "Master, you, you didn't take the child-avoiding medicine yesterday. ”
With a sigh in her heart, Chu Xue finally remembered. After a moment's pause, she asked softly, "What's that......?" Will I get pregnant? ”
Ruyue is still a young girl, although she understands medical skills, but she really has no practical experience, she only recalled, "The slave maid used to study medicine with the master, and I remember that there is a record in the medical book, according to the master, the day of your last menstrual affair, yesterday ...... Yes, the probability of pregnancy should not be small. ”
Breathing is slightly sluggish, pregnant?
She didn't seem to be ready, but yesterday she was helpless, Song Chen was almost inseparable from herself, and it was impossible for her to take medicine.
After a while, she said softly: "I know, if there is, there will be it, anyway...... It's been so long, and I don't have to take medication anymore in the future. ”
Ruyue and Yanling were both shocked, and asked her almost in unison, "Master, have you thought about it?" ”
"Hmm." She nodded, her face flushed, "I believe that if we have a child, he will protect our mother and son, and besides, there are you, as long as you are not as poor as Sister Yun was at the beginning, there is no way for others to want to snatch the child." ”
When you fall in love with someone, you want to give yourself all to him, he is her husband, the person she needs to rely on for the rest of her life, she is willing to have children for him, and she also believes that he will protect her and their children.
After hearing this, Ruyue bent the corners of her mouth, but Yanling's eyes lit up, "That's right, small, uh...... Master. She is actually still used to being called Miss, after all, she has been called for more than ten years, but she still tried her best to change her words, and continued: "Master, you mentioned Mrs. Yun, the slave maid remembered that when she was in the Huanyi room, there was a sister named Qijing, who usually took good care of the slave maid, and she was also sent there by the princess, and she used to serve in Yin Meiyuan. ”
"Oh?" Chu Xue looked at Yan Ling, "The people around Sister Yun? So why was she transferred? ”
Yan Ling shook her head, "This slave doesn't know, but the one who wants to transfer people away, isn't it just a matter of finding an explanation?" ”
That's right.
Chu Xue sneered lightly and asked again, "How long has it been since she passed, why didn't Sister Yun find a chance to transfer her back?" ”
Yan Ling sighed, "Don't you know, although that Sister Qijing was from Yin Meiyuan at the beginning, she was not Mrs. Yun's dowry maid, and to offend the princess for an outsider, Mrs. Yun may not think it is worth it." ”
Chu Xue glanced at Yan Ling, "That's true, if it's an inconsequential person, it's just a matter of sending it away, why bother to offend others?" ”
Yan Ling's face turned red, and she didn't dare to look up at her in a muffled voice, "Master, the slave is wrong, you must pay attention in the future, there will be no next time." ”
Chu Xue sighed, "That's it, after a month of hard work, I think you can have a long memory." Then again, if it weren't for following me, you wouldn't have to suffer so much. ”
Yan Ling's eyes seemed to be red, but she came to comfort her, "Master, don't take it to heart, the slave maid actually didn't suffer much, she didn't adapt to it when she first went to the Huanyi room, but Sister Qijing helped the slave and maid a lot......" Suddenly remembering the words she missed just now, Yan Ling quickly changed the topic, "By the way, the master, that Sister Qijing, has been in the Huanyi room for seven years, and I heard that it was after Mrs. Yun gave birth to the third son." ”
After the words fell, the other two looked at her together, Chu Xue thought for a while and said, "After Sister Yun gave birth to Qi'er?" I remember that Sister Yun said that she had a difficult birth when she gave birth to Qi'er...... That, Qi Jing, did you say that who else was sent out of Yin Meiyuan back then? ”
Yan Ling nodded, "I heard that Mrs. Yun was weak after giving birth at that time, and she was bedridden for more than half a year, so the princess replaced the seven or eight maidservants around Mrs. Yun on the grounds that she failed to take care of her master, and most of those people were out of the palace, but because Sister Qijing had no relatives at home, she invited herself to go to the Huanyi room to do drudgery, because the errand was done well, and the housekeeper didn't touch her again." Now that it has been so many years, it is estimated that both Mrs. Yun and the princess have forgotten about her. ”
Seeing that Chu Xue listened quietly and didn't make a sound, Yan Ling pondered for a moment and said: "Master, didn't the prince say yesterday that he would let the housekeeper pick a few more calm people for you to come over and serve, I think, Sister Qijing is available, since she was able to be sent away by the princess back then, she must not be a person over there, if you ask her to come over, she will definitely serve her wholeheartedly, and she is an old man in the palace, and she knows many things better than us." ”
After hearing this, Chu Xue smiled at Yanling, "It seems that the Huanyi room has indeed not gone in vain, and it has grown a lot." ”
Yan Ling smiled dryly, "Yes, yes." ”
In fact, Yanling is smart and clever, but sometimes she is a little impulsive and righteous, especially the protector, but as Chu Xue said, after experiencing the last incident, she is indeed a lot calmer.
Chu Xue nodded, "What you said is very reasonable, but even if she comes, you still have to keep some thoughts, and there are some things that must not be known to other people." ”
The two of them had a fun www.biquge.info.
In the afternoon of the same day, Yanling went to find the housekeeper Zhang Shun, Chu Xue said the important things simply, Zhang Shun immediately nodded and went to do it. He was present when the prince sent Mama Li that day, how many years, I haven't seen the prince move so much, you must know that Mrs. Xue didn't even shed tears, the princess's personal nurse was sent out of the house, and the Wantang Yuan didn't look for him, but it was really a big face, so now no matter what the master wants, he will hurry up to do it.
Led people out of the Huanyi room, along the way Zhang Shun couldn't help but sigh, this Qijing is quite clever, she has been in the Huanyi room for seven years, just because she took care of Yanling, who was in distress, and now she can go to serve the master closely, which is really timely.
Just when everyone in the's room was still envious of Qi Jing's good life, Zhang Shun had already led people to Chu Xue's eyes.
Chu Xue looked at the maid in front of her, and saw that although her appearance was not very outstanding, she looked kind, demure and obedient, and because of Yanling's relationship, she had a good impression of her, so she politely asked, "This is Miss Qijing?" ”
Qi Jing bowed her head and saluted, "Madame is serious, the slave is Qi Jing, I have seen Madame." ”
After all, he is already an old man in the palace, and his speech and behavior are very regular, Chu Xue nodded, and said with a smile: "In the future, you will come to serve, Ruyue usually has to cook meals for me, and I am a little too busy, so you can work with Yanling to take care of my daily life." ”
Qi Jing saluted again, and her voice was gentle, "Yes, the slave and maid will serve the master wholeheartedly in the future." ”
Chu Xue turned to look at the rest of the maids, "Qi Jing is older than you, although she has just come to Wantang Garden, she is an old man in the palace, you have to call her a sister, don't disrespect her because she is a newcomer." ”
"Yes." Inside and outside the house, everyone who heard it hung their heads.
Seeing that this master was really very kind to people as rumored, Qi Jing's heart that had been worried all the way finally relaxed.
In Danwei Garden, Xu Jinhe, who had just lost a loyal servant, was already extremely gloomy, and the words that Song Chen said to her in front of the other three women that day were comparable to slapping her in the face in public. But it was indeed a bad thing for Mama Li that day, after this incident, she had clearly felt Song Chen's dissatisfaction with herself, how could he have questioned herself in such a tone before?
Therefore, no matter how angry she is at the moment, she must calm down first, this husband is her own, and she must retain her husband's respect and trust in her, otherwise, except for her two sons, she will really have nothing.
Qiu Gui entered the room, saw Xu Jinhe's raised brows, and was slightly apprehensive for a while, and Fang tentatively called: "Princess? ”
Xu Jinhe came back to his senses, his voice was a little cold, "Say it." ”
"Yes, Wantang Yuan asked for a maid from the Huanyi Room today."
Xu Jinhe turned his head to look at her, "From that kind of place do you want a maid?" What's the use? Who does she want? ”
Qiu Gui lowered his head, "I heard that it was a good one when Yan Ling was in the Huanyi room, as for what to do in the past, the slave maid still doesn't know." ”
"Chicken dog ascends to heaven." Xu Jinhe snorted coldly and didn't say anything more.
Qiu Gui glanced at the cloves next to him, and he was silent.

Front yard study.
Gao Li pushed the door in, and bowed his head after standing up, "Lord Wang, there is news in the capital." ”
"Say." Song Chen didn't raise his head, still staring at the case file in his hand.
"Lord Chu Lin, the capital of the imperial palace, participated in the court a few days ago, and Shuntian Mansion Yin enclosed land on the outskirts of Beijing and forced the villagers to relocate. The emperor was furious and had already checked with the Inspectorate and the Department of General Affairs. ”
Song Chen put down the case file in his hand, looked up at the person in front of him, and there was a slight joy in his eyes, "Very good, Lord Chu really lives up to this king." Since the verification has begun, we will notify the capital and help the political secretary. ”
Gao Li should be, Song Chen asked again: "How is the East Palace?" ”
Gao Li replied lightly, "Yin Caoqian of Jingzhao Mansion is attached to the East Palace, and over there, he is naturally already in a hurry. ”
The corner of Song Chen's mouth sneered, "In a hurry? When it comes to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the second brother of this king is really in a hurry. ”
The affairs of the capital were reassuring, and he turned to ask, "How is Weizhou?" ”
Gao Li's always rigorous eyes also showed a rare relaxation, "Weizhou is currently a qiēshun lì, about a month later, the summer harvest will be available, according to the current shape, this year will be the first bumper year in ten years." ”
Song Chen nodded with satisfaction and instructed, "In this case, for now, we should focus on the capital first, preferably no more than two months, so that the Shuntian Mansion Yin Enclosure incident will come to light." ”
"Yes. The subordinates got it. ”
Song Chen waved his hand, and Gao Li withdrew from the room.
Because there was nothing important, Song Chen returned to Wantang Garden early this day.
As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the fragrance of jasmine, Chu Xue was fiddling with two pots of newly planted jasmine, and when he saw him come in, he hurriedly went up to greet him, "The prince came back early today, why didn't the people outside spread the word?" ”
"They want to come, but the king didn't let them, they want to come in quietly and see, what are you doing when the king is not there?" Song Chen was in a good mood today, and his voice was full of smiles.
She also found out, and said with a smile: "What else can the concubine do, but it is just raising flowers and playing the piano, which is all idle things, where can it compare to the prince's daily management?" ”
When it came to raising flowers, he found that there were a few more pots of jasmine in the house, and after taking a deep breath, he praised: "Well, the flowers are good, why have you become obsessed with jasmine recently?" ”
Chu Xue served him to change his clothes, and replied, "The concubine has never liked to use incense, only like the fragrance of flowers, now is the season of jasmine, although the jasmine is elegant and small, but the fragrance is pleasant, it smells comfortable in the room, in the past, when she was in the capital, her mother also loved this, and the concubine learned from her mother." ”
Changing into comfortable casual clothes, Song Chen hugged her, "I've been in Yanzhou for more than half a year, do you want to be in the capital?" ”
Chu Xue was stunned, thinking that he was suddenly trying to say something like this, so he tried to nod lightly.
Sure enough, I saw him smile and say, "I thought about it too, waiting for us to go back and have a look together?" ”
"Really?" She was really pleasantly surprised, and asked him expectantly, "Does the prince want to return to Beijing?" When? ”
"Hmm...... Another month. His voice came softly overhead, "I'll take you back then." ”
