Chapter 4 The road is narrow
In late May, the north enters the rainy season. Even if it doesn't rain, six or seven out of ten days are cloudy.
Today, the rare day is clear, and the door of Yuexi's bedroom is opened, and Yun Hua and Xia Ran enter the house.
After saluting her who was standing at the door and dressing neatly, the two of them took out the sheets on the bed and the two clothes that Yue Xi put on the head of the bed and washed them quickly.
Whether it is in the palace or in the courtyard, there are eunuchs waiting for Yingsu to wash. Only when you get to Yuexi, you have to do it yourself.
After washing his face, he took a cloth towel and dried it while looking at Yue Xi, who was standing at the door, she had been standing there for some time.
"This belly is growing too fast! This dress was loose a few days ago, and now it's tight again! ”
There was a bronze mirror away from the wall at the door, Yue Xi twisted her body and looked at the shadow in the mirror back and forth, left and right, and finally she looked back at Ying Su: "Child, father, what should I do, if I continue to grow like this, I will grow into a round!" ”
"What the kid is dad?" Ying Su's movements paused, as if he was a little overwhelmed by the title.
"What, don't you want to be a child's father?" Yue Xi raised his head and looked at the vague figure inside in the bronze mirror and smiled evilly: "That's good, damn the child!" ”
Ying Su quietly unfolded the cloth towel in his hand and put it on the edge of the copper basin, then walked to the copper mirror, stood behind Yue Xi, and looked at her in the mirror while putting down the sleeves rolled up.
The eyes of the two men stared together in the mirror, looking at each other and smiling.
Ying Su had long been accustomed to Yue Xi's nonsense, so he wouldn't be too surprised when she said anything.
"It's growing fast." Putting down his sleeves, he carefully hugged her, gently stroked her belly that had grown by leaps and bounds, and said softly: "Lady has worked hard!" ”
"Aren't you going to the palace today?" Yue Xi smiled at him in the mirror.
"I'll go back tomorrow morning, and I'll go back to the other courtyard after breakfast."
"Okay, then I'll go to the kitchen."
Xixiang Village is outside the city, if he catches up with the early dynasty and has to put on a show as the emperor, he will not be able to enter the palace from outside the city. Therefore, every time he went to the morning pilgrimage, he would stay in the city the first day.
After breakfast, both husband and wife were busy.
Yue Xi sent Ying Su into the carriage and watched him walk away before returning to the courtyard.
As soon as he arrived in the front yard, Gonggong Gao greeted him: "The master, Princess Xian is here!" ”
"Please!" Unexpectedly, the old lady who won the scarlet actually came to the door, Yue Xi walked straight towards the gate and greeted him in person.
Before Yue Xi walked out of the gate, Princess Xian had already stepped into the courtyard, and the two of them were stunned when they met: "I haven't seen you for a few days, girl, you can't hide your belly!" ”
Yue Xi shook his head nonchalantly: "I didn't want to hide it at all, but Eji, what are you doing here?" Look at this sweat! ”
Princess Xian's body is tall and strong, and she is blocked to the door, like a vajra in the temple! It's just that this wrestler is now red-headed and up-faced, with beads of sweat on his head.
"My aunt is like this, she is afraid of heat and cold, and it will be difficult to endure as soon as she enters May!" Princess Xian stared at Yue Xi's stomach first, and then took out a large handkerchief from her sleeve cage and stroked it all over her face, her eyes still looking around the courtyard.
"I've heard you're in the yard." Without waiting for Yue Xi's invitation, she stepped up the steps of the main room: "Huh! It's a big house! It's not much smaller than the main hall of my palace. ”
"......" Xianwang's Mansion was built in accordance with the regulations of the prince's mansion, and the courtyard in Yuexi is indeed not small, and the main house is also built through several rooms, but it would be too exaggerated to say that the main hall of the Xianwang's Mansion is large!
Seeing the head of the house greeting Princess Xian, Gonggong Gao whispered a few words beside Yue Xi, and then went out of the gate to arrange for the driver who stopped at the door and the entourage who followed the princess.
In the previous life, Yue Xi liked the simple and practical layout of the home, and this life is still like this, so her house is really not good-looking.
Princess Xian only stood at the door of the main house, then went down the steps and walked to the backyard: "Girl, I heard that your mother has found it?" She whispered to Yue Xi, who was beside her.
Heard? Yue Xi looked at the sky without a trace, and said in his heart: Who else can I listen to, it must be the thing that won the scarlet thing!
"Well, I found it." Yue Xi nodded in response.
"If you have a mother-in-law, you won't recognize Eji, no wonder you don't go to my house to see me when you leave the palace."
Princess Xian stopped, turned around and walked to the front yard again: "You are a junior, Eji will come here." If you see your mother, Eji still has to prepare a gift, so it seems that Eji doesn't know how to be polite when she sees her, so let's meet her another day! ”
Princess Xian talked to herself, and after a while, she changed her mind, and sat in the main room generously without the master beckoning her, and said to Yun Hua, who was holding a teapot and was going to make new tea: "Don't make new tea, it's too hot!" ”
Yue Xi smiled and took the tray in Yun Hua's hand and said to her, "Bring a big cup." ”
"This is also brewed in the morning, Eji tastes it, new tea!" Yue Xi poured the tea into the large teacup that Yun Hua had brought in, and pushed it in front of Princess Xian.
"How painful!" A large cup of tea was swallowed, and Princess Xian put the teacup on the table and said to Yue Xi, "Another cup." ”
Two cups of tea that were neither cold nor hot went down, and the sweat on Princess Xian's face finally fell a little. She looked casually in the room and said, "Girl, Mingxiangjun has been living in the palace all the time, why are you still out of the palace at this time?" ”
"What else would you do?" Yue Xi said softly: "Seeing Ming Xiangjun cut off her head with a knife? ”
"Not really!" Princess Xian was taken aback by her words, and quickly sat up straight and said, "No matter what, we can't just take the lives of others!" ”
"Although Ming Xiangjun has a mind that he shouldn't have, he will not sin to death. Girl, you're so smart to get her out
is smart, just think about driving her out of the palace, use knives and guns, think less! ”
Yue Xi faced her with a straight face, watching Princess Xian persuade herself so seriously, she suddenly grinned: "Eji, lie to you!" It's just a little girl, there are more women in Dazhao who have the same mind as her, and I can't cut it with a knife! ”
Although Yue Xi didn't say it in his mouth, he liked Princess Xian very much in his heart.
This Dongyi aristocratic woman who grew up on the prairie was not affected by the Jokhang aristocratic woman even if she married to the Jokhang noblewoman, and still maintained her inherent kindness and innocence.
Even when she heard that Yue Xi was going to cut Ming Xiangjun, she persuaded her. is such a rectum woman, if she is angry, it is only on her face, how can she be so vicious as to beat the concubine of the virtuous prince to death?
This thought turned in Yue Xi's mind, and she felt more and more suspicious about what happened in the palace back then.
"It's relieved that you can think so." Princess Xian let out a sigh and looked at Yue Xi with infinite pity: "Now that you are pregnant with the child of Your Majesty, they can't compete with you!" ”
Yue Xi smiled sideways, noncommittal.
Contend? She didn't want to fight with those women who didn't hold back their farts at all.
"Which shop made this garment of yours?" Across a table, Princess Xian stretched out her hand and pulled up Yue Xi's sleeve and looked at it carefully: "After that Lanyuan gathering, the women of our imperial capital have been wearing black clothes from time to time, but they don't look as good as you!" ”
"Do you like it?" Yue Xi raised her arm and asked her to look: "I'm just trying to go out conveniently, this shirt is made for me by my family, it's not that I boast, my Jinniang's embroidery and cutting are not necessarily comparable to the embroidery girl in the palace!" ”
"When you say that, Eji is also moved!" Pulling Yue Xi's sleeves, Princess Xian got up and pulled her outside: "Let's go into the city to buy fabrics now, and go back and let that Jin Niang make me a few too." ”
Gao Gonggong arranged the carriage of King Xian's mansion, and Yun Hua trotted over and said that the head of the family wanted to go out with Princess Xian, so he had to open the door of the backyard again.
However, the driver of the Xianwang Mansion came over and said politely: "My princess has such a temper, you don't always know, there are three drivers in our mansion, and they are sent by the master at any time." ”
Letting go of the things that had been arranged, Yue Xi had no choice but to accompany Princess Xian to the imperial city first.
After walking a few shops in a row, it was noon to pick and choose, and Princess Xian was still unsatisfied, but she still refused to give up: "Girl, are you tired?" Why don't we go to another place? ”
"Okay." Although Yue Xi doesn't like to go out and wander around, it is rare to accompany Princess Xian out for a walk, so naturally he can't bear to brush her mind.
The two of them took their own carriage to a famous shop in the imperial capital, but when Yue Xi got down from the carriage, he found that Princess Xian, who was walking in front, was looking at a carriage across the street in a daze, her face was very ugly!
Yue Xi followed her line of sight and saw a tall middle-aged man holding a woman with beaded hair carefully walking out of the restaurant opposite, about to get into the carriage.
Genes are so powerful!
Yue Xi sneered in his heart: Ying Fei and his old son really look alike! The winning men are all beautiful men!
King Xian felt that he was being watched and slowly raised his head, and unexpectedly met his wife's gaze, and he immediately frowned.
Across the street, Yue Xi saw two undisguised words in his eyes: disgust!
"Lord Wang?" The delicate business came from Xiao Shi's mouth, and she looked at the man beside her gently: "Why don't you leave?" ”
Turning her head, she also looked across the street, and Yue Xi noticed that the woman's eyes narrowed first, which is the reaction of an animal when it encounters an enemy!
"It turned out to be the princess's sister!" The guarded eyes were fleeting, and Xiao Shi immediately stood in place and saluted Princess Xian: "It's really unfortunate, the concubine and the prince have just eaten, or how good it would be for our family to have a meal together!" ”
"Humph! Slut! What are you proud of! "Princess Xian's hands are already clenched into fists, and her finger bones make a 'gaba-gaba' sound.
Facing her husband and his favored concubine, Princess Xian was trying to restrain herself from rushing over.
