Chapter 63

The Liu family decided to secretly give Mo Junting or the fifth prince some help, not because of Mo Junting's relationship, but from the analysis of the entire situation, the Liu family has been able to stand for so many years precisely because of caution and good fate. The literati should be high, but they are not stupid and cannot be eaten.

In the four major families back then, in addition to the Liu family, the descendants of the other three families have long been missing, especially the Chen family, when the Chen family was alive, the Chen family was so beautiful, even the emperor at that time called him Mr. many times, and the prince would take the initiative to avoid the carriage of the Chen family, but what happened later? After the death of the Chen family, in the first ten years, everyone still looked at the face of the Chen family, and courteous to the Chen family many times, but later, they ...... The Chen family has never had a stunning person, and there is no need for a person in this world who is as stunning as the Chen family.

Now the four families, there is only the Liu family, who is no longer an official, left.

Is the Liu family really good at teaching people to do learning? Not really, if the Liu family only knows this, how can the students taught become officials?

The news of the concubine's pregnancy soon spread throughout the capital, and Emperor Yan's preference for the concubine was also fully reflected at this moment, the concubine's family was all taken into the palace, and the father who died early was also sealed, and when the concubine's family left the palace, there were three carts of rewards, and the concubine's biological mother was also allowed to stay in the palace to accompany the concubine for a few more days.

even rewarded things to the concubine's house one after another, and sent someone to repair the tomb of the concubine's father again......

According to Emperor Yan's favor for the concubine, if the concubine really gave birth to a dragon son, it is impossible to say that Emperor Yan will give amnesty to the world.

On the Five Princes' Mansion, Mo Shu'an is writing a gift list, and it won't be long before it will be the concubine's birthday, no matter whether the concubine will do a big job or because she is pregnant, their birthday gifts must not be less, but they are a few points heavier than in previous years, but in previous years, they were all handled by the concubine's niece, and the concubine was originally her backer, in order to please the concubine, those birthday gifts are the limit that the Five Princes' Mansion can take out.

Now that things have fallen on Mo Shu'an, she is a little embarrassed, she is already difficult to do because she is a step-concubine, as long as the concubine wants to be picky, no matter how carefully she prepares, she can be picky, and now she is full of joy when she catches up with the concubine, and this birthday gift is even more light.

But if it's too heavy, let's not talk about whether the Five Princes' Mansion can be taken out, even if it is taken out, it won't be good.

When Qin Jingnan came, there were only a few things written on the paper in front of Mo Shu'an, Qin Jingnan waved his hand and let the people waiting in the room go down, and then he sat next to Mo Shu'an, took the paper and looked at it.

Mo Shu'an had already put down his pen and said, "I think it's a little inappropriate to choose a rare treasure to send it as in previous years." ”

Qin Jingnan nodded, understanding Mo Shu'an's scruples, and thought about it, took Mo Shu'an's hand and wrote on her palm, "Do you think that my father is really happy about the fact that the concubine is pregnant?" ”

Mo Shu'an was stunned for a moment, pondered for a long time before saying, "I think that for the matter of a woman in the harem who is pregnant, Your Majesty ...... My father was happy, but if I was a concubine, I felt that my father was in a complicated mood. ”

Qin Jingnan nodded, looked at Mo Shu'an, obviously waiting for Mo Shu'an to continue, Mo Shu'an didn't mean to hide it, "Father's reward is too much and too empty." ”

If it is really very happy, why didn't Emperor Yan's reward fall on the concubine and the eighth prince, but on the concubine's family, and seal a dead person? The title can't be passed on, what's the use, let the concubine's mother stay in the palace to take care of it? It's just a relief from the concubine's homesickness.

The eighth prince has no reward at all, although the child in the concubine's belly is expensive, but he has not been born and raised, and he doesn't even know whether it is a man or a woman, the concubine's reliance is the eighth prince, so rewarding the eighth prince is happier than giving the concubine more things, Emperor Yan doesn't know? It's impossible, even if Emperor Yan forgets jì, the concubine will not forget jì, but like this, it seems to be a favor but it has not been implemented.

Qin Jingnan then wrote, "Father said that the concubine needs to recuperate, so that the eighth prince should not disturb recently. ”

Mo Shu'an's eyes were full of surprise, if the Eighth Prince was not rewarded, he could still say that the holy will was unpredictable, but separating the concubine and the Eighth Prince, this ...... Not quite right.

Qin Jingnan pinched Mo Shu'an's finger, made her look at herself, and said silently, "The concubine has been pregnant for nearly four months. ”

Mo Shu'an didn't react for a while, if the concubine is really almost four months old, then this fetus should be stable, the mother specially told her, the first three months are the most unstable.

Four months? Could it be ...... Mo Shu'an said, "Your Majesty doesn't know? "I forgot my name.

Qin Jingnan nodded, Mo Shu'an took a deep breath, no wonder, the concubine was a little ...... It's too careful, and a grade like a concubine, every few days, there is a doctor who comes to ask for a safe pulse, didn't the doctor find out? It can't be, but it's sealed by the order of the concubine.

The whole world is not the king's land, especially in this palace, there are things that Emperor Yan can hide from the past, so how can Emperor Yan not be angry? Especially the imperial doctor can listen to the concubine to hide herself, today is the news of pregnancy, what about tomorrow? Will it someday......

The older people get, the more suspicious they are of death.

I don't think it will be stable when I come to the hospital, especially for the pulse diagnosis of the concubine.

Mo Shu'an didn't know what to say, the concubine really stole the chicken this time.

If this is the case, this gift is even more difficult to prepare, Qin Jingnan looked at Mo Shu'an's wrinkled face, the smile on his face never broke, pinched her earlobe, Mo Shu'an glanced at Qin Jingnan, Qin Jingnan wrote, "If you are embarrassed, just send it according to previous years." ”

Mo Shu'an shook his head, "The father is angry in his heart, but he is not good at the concubine, the concubine also has anger in her heart, if the things are not sent properly, I'm afraid it will ......" The five princes are now old, but they still have no errands, even if they can't immediately change Emperor Yan's opinion of the five princes, they must gradually deepen Emperor Yan's good impression of the five princes, and when the time comes, the five princes can speak, so as to get the greatest benefit from it, otherwise the hardships of the past ten years have not been in vain?

Seeing that Mo Shu'an was thinking about herself, Qin Jingnan couldn't help but lean over and kiss her fingertips, making Mo Shu'an blush.

Mo Shu'an glanced at Qin Jingnan with disgust, and then continued, "This time the concubine's birthday gift does not need to be given according to the concubine's preferences, the father who wants to send it is satisfied with it." ”

Qin Jingnan's face was solemn, and he shook his head and wrote, "The concubine has the most ...... temperament If she is not satisfied, I am afraid that she will be embarrassed with you. ”

The concubine herself will not treat Mo Shu'an well, if she does this, Mo Shu'an's life will be sad, not to mention the side, the concubine summons Mo Shu'an into the palace every three or five times, and those small means are enough for Mo Shu'an to bear.

Mo Shu'an pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "It's okay, anyway, no matter what you give, the concubine won't be happy, and even if I try my best to prepare things according to the concubine's preferences, will the concubine be good to me?" It's impossible, so it's better to please a useless person than to please your father. ”

Qin Jingnan looked at Mo Shu'an for a long time, then lowered his head and bit Mo Shu'an's fingertips, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you." ”

In the middle of the night, Qin Jingnan will also slowly practice speaking, so his pronunciation at this time is much better than before, but in the end, because he speaks less, his voice is not like ordinary people, and Qin Jingnan is afraid that he will get used to talking, and if he is exposed in the future, he will open his mouth as little as possible.

Mo Shu'an bit her lip and withdrew her fingers, and said calmly, "It's okay to say if it's my father's birthday, but how can I give a gift on the concubine's birthday to make my father happy?" ”

Qin Jingnan knew that Mo Shu'an was shy, so he didn't say much and wrote in Mo Shu'an's hand, "My father likes elegant things. ”

Mo Shu'an thought for a while, finally nodded and took the pen and began to write, and after having a clue, he quickly wrote the gift list almost, and then handed it to Qin Jingnan, Qin Jingnan was also full of amazement after reading it, Mo Shu'an saw that Qin Jingnan was satisfied, so he smiled and said, "It's just a trick, and it can only be used once." ”

Qin Jingnan put down his things and held Mo Shu'an's hand, this gift was excellent, it didn't even cost much silver taels, but it was going to tire Mo Shu'an.

Mo Shu'an said softly, "It's just a few clothes." ”

In fact, the gift that Mo Shu'an wants to give is clothes, clothes made by himself, one each for Emperor Yan and the queen, and the concubine is a set, Emperor Yan's coat is embroidered with one hundred blessing characters, the queen is embroidered with eighty-eight blessing characters, and the concubine's set is embroidered with sixty-six blessing characters.

"Let the embroidery girl ......" As soon as Qin Jingnan wrote down three words, he felt that it was inappropriate, and sure enough, Mo Shu'an reached out and held his fingers and shook his head.

This dress is very light, and it doesn't even go up at all, but it is made by your own hands.

Qin Jingnan felt sorry for his wife, but he knew in his heart that this was the best way, Mo Shu'an said gently, "My words are a little soft, I'm afraid it's not suitable for my father, it's better to give Jing Nan the hundred blessing words of my father." ”

"Yes." Qin Jingnan hugged Mo Shu'an, and his voice was low.

Mo Shu'an lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Leave the concubine's to me to write." ”

The concubine is a concubine after all, and Qin Jingnan also needs to avoid suspicion.

"The queen is the mother-in-law, and it is appropriate for Jing Nan to write it, but I don't know my father's ...... Will you be angry? Mo Shu'an said with some hesitation.

Qin Jingnan's eyes narrowed, and he wrote the word prince in Mo Shu'an's palm.

There is always no benefit to both sides.

Mo Shu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand." ”

In fact, in the final analysis, Qin Jingnan would be like this, just to let the concubine take some hatred on herself, and not let the concubine only hate Mo Shu'an.

After the husband and wife discussed properly, Qin Jingnan went to the study to write the blessing characters, at least a hundred blessing characters should be written, and each blessing character had to be a little different, which was not a simple matter, and Mo Shu'an took Yahuan to the warehouse to choose materials, and they did not have materials like bright yellow in their homes, so the color of the materials for Emperor Yan should be a little particular, and in the end, Mo Shu'an chose the dark blue material, and then chose the red material for the queen, and the concubine-colored material for the concubine.

Qiu Shi said, "Master, I'm afraid that time is a little tight, so it's better for the slave and maid to help ......."

"No, I don't." Mo Shu'an understood Qiu Shi and Dong Qing's kindness, "There are some things that must not leave a handle on people." "There is no impermeable wall in this world, and if you want not to be torn down, you can only solve it from the root." ”

Dong Qing said, "The master is almost in his day. ”

Mo Shu'an pursed her lower lip and exhaled slowly, "I know." ”

Dong Qing didn't say anything, but made up his mind to prepare more supplements for Mo Shu'an during this time.

Although Mo Shu'an's embroidery can't be compared with a special embroiderer, it is already good, and she doesn't need to think about so many blessing words, she chose sixty-six of the hundred blessing characters written by Qin Jingnan, and rewrote it, and she embroidered it.

When making embroidery, what you need most is patience, Mo Shu'an is not short of such things, and Qin Jingnan is mostly by Mo Shu'an's side except when dealing with things, sometimes he will read a book, and sometimes he is just in a daze.

The matter of Mo Junting and the Liu family's girl getting engaged was still said by Chunhua, who came back to serve after getting married, Mo Shu'an stopped, stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Have you exchanged Geng posts?" ”

"Yes." Chunhua said respectfully, "It's just that the lady and the young master know that the concubine's birthday is coming soon, so don't let people disturb the master." ”

Mo Shu'an slowly exhaled a breath, Qin Jingnan frowned, he knew best how tired Mo Shu'an was during this time, so many blessing words were that he felt dazzled when he saw it, but Mo Shu'an still had to take the gold or silver thread to embroider it thinly, in order to finish it before the concubine's birthday, Mo Shu'an almost woke up every day and sat in front of the embroidery frame with something, and sat for more than an hour, before he would get up and move under the reminder of Yahuan, and then continue to sit.

Qin Jingnan looked at it several times and wanted to stop it, but looking at Mo Shu'an's expression, he couldn't say such a thing, he understood that Mo Shu'an was also insisting, and he knew why Mo Shu'an was insisting, the more this was the more distressed, but the more he couldn't speak.

Mo Shu'an even canceled her lunch break, all Qin Jingnan could do was to accompany her to pour her a cup of tea when Mo Shu'an was resting, and hold someone in her arms at night and help her press her waist.

Qin Jingnan wrote a few words and handed them to Mo Shu'an, who took a look at it and said, "Then trouble Your Highness." ”

Mo Shu'an didn't have a polite relationship with Qin Jingnan, Qin Jingnan meant Mo Junting's family affairs, he would come forward, so he would naturally offend the concubine, but what they had to do was not bad to offend the concubine, but the most important thing was to make Mo Junting's family affairs beautiful.

Mo Junting was passed out, although some things can be asked to come forward by the old people in the clan, but in the end, many times in the clan also rely on this Mo Mansion to support, so the care of Mo Junting is also limited, when Mo Junting gets married, I am afraid that no one will help with it, although the Hu family wants to help his son, many times it is not suitable to come forward, so Qin Jingnan, the prince's brother-in-law, is the best, not only let the Mo family know, even if Mo Junting is succeeded, he also has a backer, and in the future, he will deal with Mo Junting's affairs, It is also necessary to weigh it again.

And according to Qin Jingnan's meaning, he will go directly to the Hu Mansion to ask the Hu family to handle it, so it is not easy to say that the Hu family's name is not right, I am afraid that the Liu family will also be satisfied, but in this way, Qin Jingnan's reputation is afraid that it will be a little hindered, but it is not a big deal.

Qin Jingnan wrote a few more words, this time Mo Shu'an's eyes widened, she thought that it was already good for Qin Jingnan to come forward by herself, but Qin Jingnan wanted to go further, and was ready to go directly to the palace to find Emperor Yan, if she could ask Emperor Yan to reward Mo Junting and the Liu family, then ...... Mo Shu analyzed the pros and cons with peace of mind, but found that this matter was feasible, but Qin Jingnan was afraid that he would be taken to the bone by the concubine, and the problem was Emperor Yan's side......

"Leave it to me." Qin Jingnan wrote, "Don't worry. ”

Mo Shu'an smiled and nodded, and didn't say anything, since Qin Jingnan said this, then it was certain to think about it, "I'll talk to my brother first." ”

In fact, after this incident, the biggest benefit is not Mo Junting, but the Hu family, and in the future, the Hu family can visit Mo Junting and his wife openly, and no one can say anything.

Qin Jingnan squeezed Mo Shu'an's hand, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and without saying any words of thanks, Mo Shu'an said, "Chunhua, you go back and tell your mother and brother that Your Highness has already entered the palace to ask for a reward, and Your Highness will personally go to Hufu to welcome your mother at that time." ”

"Yes." Chunhua didn't really understand it, but she wrote them down one by one, and seeing that Mo Shu'an had no other instructions, she retreated first and hurried to report the news

When Chunhua arrived, there were not only Hu and Mo Junting in the house, but also Mrs. Liu, and many people were measuring the room, after all, the furniture for Miss Liu's marriage also had to be made.

Seeing Chunhua, Hu asked, "What's wrong?" But Sister An, what's the matter? ”

Mo Junting also stared at Chunhua, after Chunhua saluted, he saw that Mrs. Liu also thought about it in her heart, and then said the truth, Hu's eyes were red all of a sudden, she thought that she couldn't see her son marry a wife with her own eyes, Liu suddenly thought of what her daughter said that day, you all only saw Mo Junting's dedication, but Sister An also paid a lot......

"I see." Mo Junting's voice was a little hoarse, if it wasn't for his own sister, why would the five princes wade into this muddy water, not to mention that this matter would not be of the slightest benefit to the five princes.

Hu Shi wiped his eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Where is the reward so easy to ask for, Sister An is so willful, if it is ......"

"Mother is fine." Mo Junting said gently, "My sister is measured. ”

Seeing his son say this, Hu Shi nodded and said, "By the way, the concubine is pregnant and will be born soon, birthday gifts...... Is Sister An ready? ”

Mo Junting had actually secretly prepared some things, just waiting for Mo Shu'an's side to be not enough and then make up for it himself.

Mrs. Liu also said, "My husband also prepared some calligraphy and paintings, which I was going to send in the next few days." ”

Chunhua opened his mouth and said, "Back to the words of the two ladies and the young master, the master is ready, saying that he will personally make some clothes for the saint, the queen and the concubine." ”
