73. Gold bracelets

After retreating, Mrs. Yisi smiled gently and asked her, "Does Mrs. Ye like children?" Do you like to play with your kids? ”

When it comes to the child's first thought, Yuanyuan bowed her head as if she acquiesced, grinning and revealing a row of bright teeth: "I haven't taken care of a baby in swaddling clothes, such a small child, covered in fine skin and tender meat, is it difficult to take care of?" ”

Mrs. Yisi shook her head: "I don't know, this kind of thing can only be known as a mother." She gently placed her hand on her flat lower abdomen, "Madame Ye will soon know." ”

Zheng Yuan pondered for a while, and asked her again: "Is it very heavy and tiring to hold such a big belly all day long?" ”

She smiled slightly: "There are times when I feel very tired and tired, but I will feel happy when I think that the little guy in my belly is connected to my blood, and when he is born, he will grow up to adulthood, and his temperament and appearance will be similar to himself and his father." ”

Her heart moved slightly, and she stared intently at her stomach in contemplation, and her hand unconsciously touched her belly, and her thoughts fell on Mrs. Yisi's eyes, and Mrs. Yisi patted her hand and said softly: "If you can, give him a child, he is not young, and a child will not bring much trouble; Have you ever thought that in the future, having a child is not only for him, but also for yourself? In the future, if he goes to a higher position and wants you to stand by his side, there will always be forces that will come out to obstruct him, not to mention that you and him are not justifiable, now you can't predict how much pressure you will face when you get to that point, have you been sure that in the future he will not be forced to let you down by pressure? If you have children, do you have a greater grasp of consolidating your position? ”

Zheng Yuan was stunned and said, "Why do you seem to know our situation very well?" ”

"I am the prince's favorite concubine, and the prince naturally knows about him," Mrs. Yisi said with a smile, "I only know that there is a woman like you, and I don't know your name, Mrs. Ye, I have been talking to you for so long, and I haven't asked you, what is your name?" ”

"Cui Yuluan."

"Yuluan," Mrs. Yisi repeated, and continued to look at her, with a faint smile on her face, and asked her again, "Do you have any brothers and sisters at home?" ”

Zheng Yuan replied: "Yes, they all gather less and leave more." ”

The water flowing under the eaves began to rush again, and Mrs. Yisi's voice was like the sound of rain hitting bamboo leaves, echoing in Zheng Yuan's heart: "It's good to keep the clouds open." ”

……

The prince of Khotan held up a wine bottle to him: "If you are wounded, bring water to the bar." ”

He gladly raised his glass.

The prince of Khotan said: "I didn't expect you to be injured by calculations, I underestimated the ability of the two kings of Zhao and Wei in the past." ”

"The shape of Shengdu is now intricate, Gongsun Er has already devised a plan to kill me, King Zhao and King Xiping come from time to time to add oil and vinegar, waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman, and my power is mainly in the northwest, this time I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape."

"In the catastrophe, and then, put it to death and come back to life?" The prince of Khotan said, "When the time comes, I will meet you outside the customs." ”

The wine bottle struck, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and each drank it.

When parting, the prince of Khotan raised a bottle to him for the last time: "Ye Yang, I wish you the last glass of wine, and you will be the king of the army in the future, and you will respond to every call." Qu Boyao took it: "Thank you!" ”

When he came out, he met Yingou, who told him that she and Mrs. Yisi were in the pavilion outside the bamboo forest. Skirting the bamboo forest, he saw that they were chatting hotly, with smiles on their faces, and her attention was always on her stomach, and when there was a slight change in her stomach, he shouted loudly, "He is so naughty!" didn't stop, and kept tossing his mother. ”

Mrs. Yisi saw him first and shouted, "Ye Yang! He shifted his steps and walked quickly towards her.

Zheng Yuan turned her face and got up to say goodbye to Mrs. Yisi.

Mrs. Yisi looked at the man standing side by side with her, and told him: "Ye Yang, Yuluan is still young, you should treat Yuluan well, treat her like a husband and brother, don't let her down, don't let her relatives down." ”

He clasped her hand and said, "Madame, don't worry, I will give her the best; I also wish the lady and the prince happiness. ”

Mrs. Yisi nodded, gave her a bracelet, and tears glistened in her eyes: "Yuluan, this is for you, you must wear it." ”

Zheng Yuan glanced down at the bracelet, there was a little red jade embedded in the gold, and she vaguely felt that there seemed to be something wrong with it, so she didn't ask. When he returned to his room and asked him what the Khotanese prince had told him, he said that the Khotanese prince would be an important ally for them. She asked him how he had met the prince of Khotan. He replied, "It's a long story. He only briefly told her a few words about the process of his acquaintance with the prince of Khotan, for fear that she would be upset for her brother, and omitted all the explanations that should be given. When he slept with her in his arms at night, he felt that his conscience was uneasy, but he couldn't sleep with his eyes closed, and she slept sweetly in the crook of his arm, and he didn't dare to move.

Before dawn, they packed up their things and left, there was a waterway from Yingze to Sheng, they chose to go back by water, and hired a boat.

On the boat, he thought for a long time, and hesitated to approach her.

She was sitting at the stern of the boat and fiddling with the bracelet on her wrist, thinking of Madame Eas's words that sounded kind. He sat down beside her, and when she saw him approaching, she leaned up to him and asked, "Why don't you lie down and rest, there are so many wounds on your body." ”

He took her lips in his mouth and sucked: "It's time to change the dressing......"

She got up and pushed him into the cabin, closed all the curtains, and undressed him to change his dressing.

Accidentally caught a glimpse of him rising up, she was hot, and was caught in his arms and fell backwards. She propped herself up and didn't press him, and took the initiative to kiss him on the lips, and his clothes were untied by him. Later, my brain was hot, and I forgot about the wounds on his body, and the medicine had not been changed, so the ghost made a miracle to do it with him, and only realized that it was over in a hurry when I opened his wounds halfway, and then continued to give him medicine with a shy face.

He seemed to have a purpose, and took advantage of the strong affection that had not yet dissipated after the intimacy just now, hugged her again and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you know why Mrs. Yisi gave you this bracelet?" She shook her head.

He said: "Mrs. Yisi is the daughter of a merchant, since she was a child, she followed her father to and from Khotan and Dacao, once passed through Qingqu Pass, met robbers, was rescued, she married the person who saved her, he is Zheng Jue, who guarded Qingqu Pass at that time, your brother, Mrs. Yisi was your sister-in-law. ”

"What did you say?"

"Your parents knew about your brother's marriage abroad, but your father turned a deaf ear and was indifferent to the matter, and your mother dragged someone to send a family heirloom bracelet, which is this ...... Later, by coincidence, the prince of Khotan saw her...... After some twists and turns, she became the favorite concubine of the prince of Khotan...... When she gives you the bracelet, she is giving it back to your brother. ”

"Why did you become the favorite concubine of the prince of Khotan? Was she willing? She couldn't believe it, "And does my brother like her?" ”

"How can you marry her if you don't like it? Your brother likes her, so he pursues her passionately, and she agrees to marry your brother in order to repay the favor. ”

She thought for a moment, looked at the bracelet in her hand and sneered, "I see, she is really vain." ”

He said: "It's me, it's me who helped her stay with the prince of Khotan, and your brother still has some complaints about me in his heart until now." ”

"You...... Why? ”
