Chapter 138: One Hundred and Thirty-Eight Coincidental Encounters
The eldest princess of Jinyang received the news early in the morning, so although she was duplicitous and said that this girl was just tossing around, how could anyone who was a queen run home all day long. But a heart, I ran to the door early, and looked at the gate with a blank eye, waiting for the appearance of Fleur.
Wei Liangchen, as the daughter-in-law of the eldest princess of Jinyang, how could he not know the thoughts of the eldest princess of Jinyang inconsiderately, so he did not pierce the thoughts of the eldest princess of Jinyang, and only smiled and pulled Xia Yuelang to accompany the eldest princess of Jinyang and wait at the door.
Fortunately, Fu Hui and Zhao Jinyan went out early in the morning, so they didn't let the three of them wait any longer, so they appeared.
When Fu Hui got off the carriage, she saw Xia Yuelang and Wei Liangchen, who were also waiting at the gate with the eldest princess of Jinyang, and she was stunned for a moment.
She actually had a good plan, and she didn't plan to see these two people when she came today, after all, today was the day when her daughter-in-law should go back to her parents' house, and Wei Liangchen was married into their family for the first time this year, so she should have gone back.
However, no matter what, it was indeed a big surprise to be able to see Xia Yuelang there.
Xia Yuelang is the grandson of the Empress Dowager, but the relationship between the Empress Dowager and their family has always been very bad, and Xia Yuelang himself is a male dependent, and it is not good for Fu Hui to openly summon him in the palace.
Therefore, since the brother and sister got married, it is difficult to see each other, even if they are rarely able to see each other, they only meet in a hurry and separate.
Seeing it today, Fleur was naturally overjoyed.
When the eldest princess of Jinyang saw Fleur, she also showed a smile on her face, only smiled and reached out to grab Fleur's hand, looking up and down.
On the other hand, Wei Liangchen had already begun to arrange all kinds of reception affairs with a very good eye, not that Wei Liangchen and Fu Rui did not have anything to say, but Wei Liangchen also knew that it was difficult for Fu Rui to leave the palace at this time, and she couldn't wait to get along with her family for a while.
The eldest princess of Jinyang took Fleur back to the courtyard where Fleur lived when she got married, and Furao saw that Wei Liangchen was not there, and couldn't help but ask the eldest princess of Jinyang softly: "Mother, why didn't my sister-in-law and brother go back to the Weiguo Mansion today?" β
When the eldest princess of Jinyang heard this, she glanced at Fu Hui with her eyes, and said angrily: "Could it be that you, as a mother-in-law, deliberately detain my daughter-in-law and not let her go back?" β
ββ¦β¦ Mother, you know I don't mean that, I'm not curious? β
Hearing this, Fu Hui also said helplessly to the eldest princess of Jinyang. And when the eldest princess of Jinyang heard this, she opened her mouth and explained simply: "Your sister-in-law heard that you are coming back today, but I am afraid that no one in the house will arrange things, and I think that your brother will not have many opportunities to meet you, so she said that she stayed today, and it will be the same if you will come back in a few days." β
Of course, Wei Liangchen's original words are definitely not like this, Wei Liangchen's original words are coquettish and smiled with the eldest princess of Jinyang: "In previous years, on the second day of the new year, my mother's family came and went too many relatives, and I have always been impatient to deal with this kind of thing, but I ask my mother to have mercy on me, and this year let me delay for a few days and come back, so that I can have a good rest." β
Wei Liangchen's words are naturally not taken seriously, this married daughter has always been a coquettish guest when she goes back to her parents' house, how can she be tired when she goes back, but in her mother-in-law's house, she has to deal with all kinds of affairs, but she is very busy.
The eldest princess of Jinyang didn't miss the good of this daughter-in-law, so she remembered it in her heart and said it to Furui.
When Fu Hui heard this, she couldn't help laughing, her eyes looked at Xia Yuelang with a little fun, and then looked at the eldest princess of Jinyang, and said with a smile: "Mother, brother, I have to congratulate you on getting a good daughter-in-law!" β
"Little girl, don't you have a good sister-in-law!"
The eldest princess of Jinyang couldn't help but smile and nodded Fu Yuan's forehead, probably because she was outside the palace, that is, Zhao Jinyan was also sitting in the hall, but the eldest princess of Jinyang was facing Fu Yuan, but it was not like when she was in the palace now, and she looked a lot more casual.
As he was talking, he saw Wei Liangchen leading a group of maids into the door with a lot of breakfast.
When Fu Rui saw it, her eyes couldn't help but glance at Wei Liangchen, and then at the eldest princess of Jinyang, who only smiled and said nothing.
And Wei Liangchen said softly: "The emperor and Niangniang came early today, and I don't know if they have had breakfast, but Niang and Niang are waiting at the door today looking forward to the emperor and Niangniang, and they haven't used it yet, so they made their own decisions and asked the small kitchen to make some and send them up." β
Hearing this, the corners of Fu Rui's mouth couldn't help laughing, and she looked at Wei Liangchen and nodded again and again: "Thank you sister-in-law for thinking thoughtfully, the emperor and I really went out of the palace in a hurry to go home today, I didn't use it at all, my sister-in-law didn't say it, I didn't feel hungry yet, but as soon as my sister-in-law said it, I felt hungry in my stomach." β
While talking here, Fu Hui pulled Zhao Jinyan and the eldest princess of Jinyang to sit down together, Xia Yuelang also sat down with a big grin, but Wei Liangchen was standing next to the eldest princess of Jinyang, and it seemed that he was planning to personally serve the eldest princess of Jinyang for dinner.
The eldest princess of Jinyang has never been a harsh person, not to mention, this daughter-in-law can be regarded as deeply favored by her, and naturally she doesn't like to put on her mother-in-law's style, so she directly patted Wei Liangchen's hand and said with a smile: "You go and sit next to Yuelang, we are all a family, why bother to learn from those harsh people." β
When Fu Rui heard this, she also nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, sister-in-law, you can sit down too, if you have anything to serve, just let the people below!" β
When Wei Liangchen heard this, he didn't make a gesture of Qiao, but also thanked the eldest princess of Jinyang and Fu Yuan generously, and sat down next to Xia Yuelang.
This breakfast is not very rich, but whether it is pastries, porridge, water, or dim sum, it is obvious that Wei Liangchen has been carefully selected and takes care of everyone's taste.
Fu Hui and Zhao Jin are satisfied, the eldest princess of Jinyang is also very comfortable, as for Xia Yuelang, he is not a picky eater, and there is his favorite big meat bun on this table, so he is also satisfied.
However, Xia Yuelang used all his heart here, and Fu Yuan noticed that Wei Liangchen seemed to have a bad appetite. Although she didn't come out of the table, she was also slowly using the porridge, but the amplitude of the things sent to her mouth, if you look closely, you can find the problem.
Fu Hui thought of Wei Liangchen's goodness in her heart, and naturally asked with concern: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong, is the meal unappetizing?" β
ββ¦β¦ No, no, it's good. β
When Wei Liangchen heard this, he hurriedly opened his mouth and said with a smile.
When Xia Yuelang on the side heard this, he saw that there was almost no porridge in Wei Liangchen's bowl, so he simply sandwiched a big meat bun and put it in Wei Liangchen's dish, and only smiled: "Lady, try this, this is delicious." β
Fu Rui looked at Xia Yuelang's rough movements, and shook her head helplessly, Xia Yuelang really doesn't know how to be considerate, is it possible to think that he likes to eat big meat buns, and everyone in the world likes to eat big meat buns.
Judging from the food Wei Liangchen ate, it is obvious that the taste of this sister-in-law is similar to that of ordinary women, and she likes some plain and light food.
However, Fu Rui didn't expect that Wei Liangchen was very accommodating to Xia Yuelang, although Xia Yuelang was indecently sandwiched a big meat bun, but Wei Liangchen still smiled and picked up the meat bun and sent it to his mouth.
Fu Rui couldn't help but glance at Zhao Jinyan who was sitting next to her, and suddenly found that compared with Wei Liangchen, she was really not a considerate and good daughter-in-law.
Zhao Jinyan smiled at Fu Hui soothingly.
Originally, this little episode should have passed quickly, but after Wei Liangchen took a few bites of the bun, there was an accident, Wei Liangchen seemed to bite the bun with a smile and it was hard to hold on, and he just ate a few bites here, and he couldn't help it in his mouth, so he almost spit it out by covering his mouth.
And the eldest princess of Jinyang and Fu Rui stood up in surprise when they saw Wei Liangchen's move, and looked at Wei Liangchen with burning eyes.
The two men present were taken aback by the actions of Fu Rui and the eldest princess of Jinyang, especially Xia Yuelang, who thought that Wei Liangchen had something wrong with his body, and hurriedly held Wei Liangchen's arm with a nervous face, and asked with concern: "Lady, what's wrong with you, but what's wrong?" β
When Fu Yuan heard this, she glanced at Xia Yuelang angrily, only looked at Wei Liangchen and asked softly, "Sister-in-law, are you pregnant?" β
As soon as Fu Yuan's words fell, the teacup handed to Wei Liangchen in Xia Yuelang's hand fell to the ground with a "bang".
But at this moment, no one noticed Xia Yuelang's mistake at all, even the eldest princess of Jinyang, who had never been very happy, couldn't help but look at Wei Liangchen with an expectant face.
Wei Liangchen replied softly with a little shyness on his face: "Actually, I'm not sure yet, the water is a little late, but it's not safe to think about it, and I originally planned to let the doctor take a look in a few days." β
"You kid, just calm down, you have reacted like this, and you plan to wait for some time."
The eldest princess of Jinyang said as she asked someone to invite the doctor who lived in the house to come and see.
This one in the pulse. It's true, and the child has been more than two months old, and it was obviously conceived as soon as she got married.
At this time, there was such good news, and the whole family was naturally overjoyed, but in this joy, Zhao Jinyan quietly and gently grabbed Fu Yuan's hand, Fu Yuan looked at Zhao Jinyan, and only saw Zhao Jinyan looking at her with a little worry in his eyes.
She couldn't help but chuckle on her face, and shook her head at Zhao Jinyan.
In fact, when she heard that Wei Liangchen was pregnant, she did have a trace of sentimentality in her heart, but soon, it disappeared, only happiness remained, and she was not so fragile and easy to grieve Qiuyue.
Of course, the person who is worried about Fu Hui here is not Zhao Jinyan alone, after the eldest princess of Jinyang arranged for Xia Yuelang to help Wei Liangchen go back to rest, the eldest princess of Jinyang couldn't help but whisper to Fu Hui: "You don't think too much, this child is fate, fate is here, the child will naturally come!" β
Hearing this, Fu Hui still shook her head with a smile, and only chuckled and said to the eldest princess of Jinyang: "Mother, I still want to congratulate you, I will have a grandson to hug soon!" β
The eldest princess of Jinyang looked at the smile on Fu Yuan's face, and only felt that she was forcing a smile and wanted to say something, but when her eyes touched Zhao Jinyan, it was a little difficult to say such a private word between mother and daughter.
Zhao Jinyan also knew how to look at her eyes, looking at the expression of the eldest princess of Jinyang, she also knew that she was not suitable here, so she immediately smiled and said: "Mother-in-law, I want to go outside for a walk, why don't you accompany Furong to talk for a while." β
"Okay, I'll let Yue Lang come over to accompany you."
As soon as the eldest princess of Jinyang's voice fell, Zhao Jinyan hurriedly refused: "No need, just let my uncle accompany my sister-in-law, I'll just walk by myself." β
With that, he walked out of the house.
As soon as she waited for Zhao Jinyan to leave, the eldest princess of Jinyang said to Fu Yuan: "This birth is actually a matter of two people, you are not pregnant now, and don't take all the responsibility on yourself." β
Hearing this, Fu Yuan nodded, but the words of the eldest princess of Jinyang couldn't help but make her think of what the Empress Dowager said earlier.
She hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but look at the eldest princess of Jinyang and said: "Mother, have you ever heard that couples who are too close in blood will have a more difficult time in terms of heirs, and the emperor and I are cousins, do you think it will be because of this reason?" β
"Where did you get all this nonsense?"
When the eldest princess of Jinyang heard this, she couldn't help frowning.
When Furao heard this, she sighed lightly, and still said softly: "I heard that there is a village in our country, and that village has always been intermarried by brothers and sisters or cousins......
"What nonsense! I've never heard of anything like this! β
The eldest princess of Jinyang frowned even tighter, no matter whether this matter was true or not, the eldest princess of Jinyang naturally would not admit it, she looked at Fu Yuan, and couldn't help but ask: "Is this said by your good grandmother." β
Fleur didn't speak, but in her attitude, she obviously acquiesced.
The eldest princess of Jinyang couldn't help but sigh, and said to Fuhui: "I said why don't you have a long brain, your grandmother, I can't wait to break you up with the emperor in my heart, I don't know where to make it up, our royal family, as well as the major families in Beijing, have always loved cousins and sisters to marry, my mother has never seen any problems, and the children born are all healthy." Besides, you have not been married for a year now, and it is not difficult to have an heir, but it is only that the courtiers look at you all day long, which makes you feel that it is more difficult for you to conceive. β
"Don't think about it anymore, you will believe this kind of unfounded and messy thing!"
The eldest princess of Jinyang finally said this to Furao, obviously wanting to make a final decision and let Furao not think about it anymore.
Fleur nodded, but her expression was a little dazed and a little absent-minded.
And the eldest princess of Jinyang looked at Fu Hui like this, although she didn't say anything on her face, but when Zhao Jinyan returned to the palace with Fu Yuan, she still secretly pulled Zhao Jinyan to the side and talked about this matter, only to let Zhao Jinyan comfort Fu Hui.
Fu Rui's mind is already a little sensitive, and the pressure on her body has been really great recently, Zhao Jinyan might as well do it, she still has this matter in her heart now, after hearing what the eldest princess of Jinyang said about it, she also took it to heart, and when she returned to the palace, she began to unravel Fu Yuan.
In fact, if you want to figure out this kind of thing, relying on the persuasion of others alone obviously has limited effect, and the real key is to be able to think clearly.
And Zhao Jinyan's consolation is obviously no different from the consolation of the eldest princess of Jinyang, and Fu Hui still agrees, but in her heart, she still can't let go.
But she really didn't want people to worry about it, so she always looked like she didn't care about Zhao Jinyan.
Zhao Jinyan is a man after all, no matter how careful his mind is, it is naturally impossible to take care of Fu's little love all the time, and as the year passes, Zhao Jinyan also re-handles the affairs of the court and begins to get busy.
However, the reminder of the eldest princess of Jinyang was not without effect, and Zhao Jinyan became more considerate of Fleur than before.
On this day, Zhao Jinyan returned from the previous dynasty, when passing through the imperial garden, he happened to see the plum garden, the plum blossoms were in full bloom, extraordinarily brilliant, and when the distance was far away, he could smell the fragrance of plum blossoms.
Zhao Jinyan was also interested, and planned to cut some by himself so that he could bring it back to the hibiscus bottle.
So he ordered the people below to go back to Fengqi Palace to get scissors, of course, take a pair of scissors, naturally there is no need to go to Fengqi Palace, but here Zhao Jinyan also has a bit of ingenuity, but he wants the people below to remind Fu Hui first, and he also wants the people below to tell SΓΉ Fu Rui that this plum blossom was cut by himself.
The little eunuch who was sent back by Zhao Jinyan to get the scissors was also a clever guy, and when he ran to Fengqi Palace, he directly found Caixia next to Fu Hui to ask for scissors.
After listening to Caixia's relay, although she felt that Zhao Jinyan's actions were a bit like a child who was eager to show XiΓ n, she still felt very much in her heart.
It just so happened that she was idle, so she simply smiled at Caixia and said, "Let's also go to the imperial garden to see how the emperor cut the plum blossoms for me." β
Caixia smiled and responded.
It's just that these two people have made thousands of calculations, but they haven't calculated accurately, when Fu Hui walked to the plum garden with Caixia here, on the other side, Zhao Jinyan also just entered the plum garden to pick up plum blossoms, but he ran into Yang Cairen who came out for a walk with his subordinates.
Of course, Yang Cairen did not intend to appear in the plum garden to block people, after all, Zhao Jinyan's plum blossom cutting in the plum garden was also a temporary idea, and Yang Cairen was already in this plum garden.
When Zhao Jinyan walked in, Yang Cairen was stunned for a moment, but immediately saluted Zhao Jinyan.
After saluting, he decided to leave.
Zhao Jinyan didn't keep it, seeing that Yang Cairen was so knowledgeable, he didn't look at her coldly, but just nodded at her.
And this scene happened to be seen from afar by Fleur, who walked into the imperial garden.
Fleur stopped and didn't step forward again, but smiled and said to Caixia: "Let's go back!" β
"The Queen's Mother......"
Caixia was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Fleur to react like this, she wanted to say something, but Fleur had already turned around and left.
Caixia glanced at the situation in the plum garden, stomped her feet, and had to follow Furui back to Fengqi Palace.
