Chapter Thirty-Nine: Adult Sorrow
Yuan Lingjun has been very unlucky recently, Fu Lingding's house provoked her to get angry and had a nosebleed, and then a few days later came to menarche, lying on the couch and rolling on her stomach for a few days, her body recovered and was comfortable, and she walked around the palace a few times, and coincidentally met Zhen Wangshi, who was pulled into Wangshi's mansion for half a day.
She was extremely depressed. And what's even more terrifying is that since she came to Tianqi, her body has undergone unspeakable changes, whenever she gets up and dresses, the maid's hands wandering on the clothes make her feel uncomfortable, facing herself in the long mirror, she is very suspicious that the person opposite is not her true appearance. The original loose robe is now worn again, outlining the waist slender and soft, her figure has also sprung up like mushrooms after the rain, her chin is still round, her face is like a full moon, and the outline of her eyebrows and eyes is clearer.
Those grandfathers and uncles whom she loved so much couldn't help but exclaim when they saw it: "The king has grown up, which is really gratifying." She interpreted the minister's ardent expectations as ridicule.
When meeting with the minister, Yuan Lingjun has always been casual in his makeup, not combing his hair, wearing a **, and lying down on the banquet casually when his buttocks hurt, without caring about the eyes of the ministers. However, Mama has been chanting mantras for the past few days, nagging again and again, and she can no longer do those things as she wants.
This is the trouble of adults.
Alas, my chest began to swell and itch again, and I wanted to reach out and scratch it, only to realize that I was under the gaze of Fan Guifei, which was very indecent.
"What's wrong?" Fan Jiang knocked on a few and was a little unhappy when he saw that Yuan Ling couldn't sit still.
Yuan Lingjun shook his hand and straightened his back, "What is Mother talking about?" "She's been wandering.
"Nothing." What I just said was that the southern border needed to be stamped as soon as possible, and Zhu Gang would be sent to escort the military grain and grass, but Yuan Lingjun clearly did not listen attentively.
Fan Jiang glanced at her, slowly finished drinking a cup of tea, and continued to coil the Buddha beads in his hand, because of the perennial rubbing of his fingers, a layer of pulp appeared on the surface of the jade.
Yuan Lingjun stared at every bead that rolled over, all glowing with a little light, Yuan Lingjun looked at it for a while, looked away, and looked at the gloomy sky, the spring rain was like silk, fluttering thinly, moisturizing the peony and tung trees in the court threshold, and his eyes drifted back, facing a pair of gentle eyes like water.
The owner of the eyes smiled lightly at her. Shen Whale is over thirty years old, and he once shaved his monk because of the loss of his wife and children, and by chance, Fan Jiang got him and arranged for him to grow his hair in a secret house somewhere outside the palace, and now he has not grown a beard after the success of his hair growth, and he is too young to speak.
"There is news from Lin'an that Yan Jieyu, who had a grudge against you at the beginning, is pregnant." Fan Jiang's attention to this matter was far more important than the change in the southern border, and she was uncomfortable at the thought that a child surnamed Yuan was about to come to disrupt her original plan.
The emperor rewarded the Yan nephew to a cripple, the Yan family and the king of Changshan formed a deep grudge, Yuan Ling did not seem to hear the two meanings of Fan Guifei, one is that Yan and her have a grudge, the other is that Yan is pregnant, no matter which meaning is only harmful to Yuan Ling, but not beneficial.
"Hey, I'm going to have a sister again soon, and it's not necessarily a younger brother." Yuan Lingjun stroked his waist fan, and his face was excited.
Fan Jiang stopped his hand on the Buddha beads, smiled coldly, and asked, "Does the king think that if he were a boy, he would come to this world safely?" ”
"Why can't you ......?"
She suddenly thought of something, and she sneered. The methods of court women are deeply in contact with the young Yuan Lingjun, and even if her mother Feng Shuyuan is in the cold palace, she can also fight wits with the concubines of Hou Yu, pave the way for Yuan Lingyan to plot power, and kill her own daughter in order to remove obstacles, what cannot happen, let alone an unformed baby, even an adult does not know when she will die inexplicably, maybe her last brother did not die in an accident.
"Why not, Mother thinks something is going on?" Yuan Lingjun asked innocently.
"The harem is full of accidents. If it's a girl, it's just a boy...... It is too early for us to say this, and we will see it in June or July, and we will not know until he was born, let alone make a prejudgment. The king, the most tormenting thing is often not the result, but the process of waiting. Presumably, people on the Lin'an side were already panicking, they used to be wary of you and me, but now they have to be distracted to stare at the piece of meat in Yan's belly. ”
"What's the difference between a boy and a girl." Yuan Lingjun said softly. Fan Jiang didn't hear it.
"The Yan clan is not good for us, but the queen's daughter is even more anxious, wait and see, the queen is kind and virtuous on the surface, but you haven't seen her real means, strangle the sprout in the immature period, and the queen has always done it handy." Fan Jiang laughed coldly.
Her younger brother or sister, whom she had not yet met, had not had time to take a look at her parents before they fell victim to the power struggle of the adults. Boiled beans burn beans, and beans cry in the kettle. Because he has power, why should he kill them all and mutilate the babies who are not yet born.
Yuan Lingjun roared inwardly and held her waist fan vigorously, her emotions were calm, but her clenched fists exposed the anger at the moment. It was really terrifying, and the thought that he too would be a sacrifice in the whirlpool rapids couldn't help but shrink his body, and his shoulders trembled in fear.
"King, are you afraid? Sometimes killing is also salvation, an act of kindness. It's not your fault. Fan Jiang stroked the beads. The Buddha is able to keep people calm and see the situation in front of them.
"It's a little cold." She covered her hands with her sleeves to hide her confusion.
"It seems to be a little ...... It's time for you to go back. Fan Jiang nodded and looked at the gurgling rain curtain outside the hall.
Fan Jiang's eyes also seemed to reveal something, tired? Hate? How could a demon crawling out of hell reveal such a distempering feeling? Maybe killing is the truth that Fan Jiang wholeheartedly recognizes, maybe killing is really a benevolent act, and clean babies don't belong to the dirty court in the first place.
Yuan Lingjun looked up at the empty surroundings, and a crazy thought was born in his heart. Her child must not become a person as pathetic as her, a puppet of others' mastery and manipulation, otherwise, she will strangle him with her own hands.
It was summer, and at night, it was very cold in the court. Yuan Lingjun sat quietly, Mama explained the recent arrangements beside her, and asked her if she was clear, Yuan Lingjun nodded carelessly, and Mama withdrew with her clothes.
"Lord, Shen Gongzi asks to see you." The priest reported at the temple gate.
Yuan Lingjun clenched her fists, got up and sat cross-legged, when a long figure appeared in sight, getting closer and closer, she said to the man: "Don't be your monk well, what is the purpose of trying to enter the palace?" Shen Whale, you'd better stay in peace and don't let Lone find out that you have a trick. ”
Shen Whale was stunned for a while, and suddenly burst out laughing: "The lord doesn't know the truth, and only relies on hearsay, so he makes a judgment?" It's too suspicious. ”
