"Miss, since you came back from the palace banquet on that day, your reputation has spread all over Bianjing City, see who dares to say that our young lady is not worthy of Rong Shizi!"

Jing Shengwu lazily crooked on the Maitreya couch, fiddling with a string of jade beads in her hand, which was given to her by the queen after the palace banquet, it was not an unusual thing, she really couldn't figure out why the queen had to retreat from everyone that day and quietly handed it to her in private.

For the current Queen Liang of Chu State, Jing Shengwu felt it in his heart, the queens of the past dynasties were out of the palace of Rong Wang, the first queen was Rong Chu's aunt, but she died violently for some reason, Emperor Chu did not mention anything to the outside world, and the eyes of the Liang family fell to the ground after the establishment of the Jing concubine at that time, the mother of the Liang family declined, and her background was not as good as that of several other concubines, but Emperor Chu took a fancy to her.

The corners of Jing Shengwu's lips raised, and Emperor Chu was also an old fox, so he thought that it was also to prevent his relatives from interfering in politics.

"Miss, the old slave has been more diligent when Aunt Wen went to Mrs. Tai's yard recently." Mama Wang put the words in her heart for a long time and said to Jing Shengwu.

Hearing this, Jing Shengwu raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "Which Aunt Wen?" ”

"Oh, my miss, are you confused, there is an Aunt Wen in our house, she is the youngest of those who live in the South Courtyard, speaking of which, she is only three years older than Miss."

After listening to Qinglian's explanation, Jing Shengwu's frowning brows gradually relaxed, she remembered that there was indeed such a person in the house, who was born in a small background, had a good face, and also had a good voice.

That Aunt Wen has always had no quarrel with the world in the mansion, and it was an accident that she was able to visit Mrs. Tai a few times, not to mention that she went diligently.

"Can you find out why?" Jing Shengwu asked.

Mama Wang shook her head when she heard this, with a bitter look on her face, and said: "The girl who is serving next to Aunt Wen is too tight, and the old slave can't ask anything after several times. ”

Jing Shengwu was not surprised at all when he heard this, it seemed that it should have been like this, there were not many women in the Gaomen courtyard who had no quarrel with the world like Aunt Wen, and even fewer who could be both unknown and wise to protect themselves. Obviously, Aunt Wen also has some means, and it is not easy to get some words out of the mouth of the maid next to her.

Amber, the first-class maid in Qingyoutang, stood at the door and respectfully saw off Aunt Wen. Then he walked into the house in small steps.

Seeing that Mrs. Tai was about to start worshiping the Buddha by herself, Amber couldn't help but feel a little anxious, "Mrs. Tai, this Aunt Wen is pregnant, why don't you take care of her?" If this Aunt Wen's child can't be saved. How's that good? ”

Mrs. Tai saluted the Buddha's hand, and looked at Amber with cold eyes and said nothing.

Amber only felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave in this spring March, and her whole body was very cold.

"Amber, you've been with me for ten years, and you've been a girl who grew up watching me grow up. Why has your temperament become so impatient now? If this Aunt Wen has a child, whether she can protect it depends on her own ability, and she can't even protect her own children, what value does such a woman value? ”

Amber came to Bianjing a while ago, and Mrs. Tai sent a message to Qingzhou saying that there was no credible person around. That's when she was called.

"Besides, if she can really give birth to a child under Sun's nose, it can be regarded as a real skill, and I will naturally take care of the old woman when the time comes, don't mention such words in front of me in the future!" Mrs. Tai paused for a moment and said coldly to Amber.

Amber stopped talking, and resignedly retreated, watching the warm sunlight in front of the green hall shine on her body, but it still had an indescribable cold smell.

Mrs. Tai's words will not be wrong, she is really too soft-hearted. What about children? In this high-ranking family, there has never been a shortage of children who sacrificed for power, didn't I hear that Aunt Jin had no children earlier.

On this day, after Jing Zhengming went down. As soon as I sat down in the study to read the book, I saw Steward Wang respectfully come over to report: "Master Hou, the maid in the south courtyard is asking to see you outside the door of the study." ”

"Let her in." Jing Zhengming shook his clothes, sat down in front of the desk, and indifferently took the Genting Golden Mist fragrant tea on the desk to drink.

Xi Xia entered the room, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Jing Zhengming sitting at the table. With a soft smile on his face, he blessed Jing Zhengming softly: "Congratulations to Master Hou, congratulations to Master Hou, Aunt Wen is happy." ”

"What? Does Aunt Wen have a body? ”

Looking at Jing Zhengming's eyes that radiated in an instant, Xia Mei's eyes were happy, and sure enough, as my aunt said, in the heart of the Hou Ye, I am afraid that the incense of this offspring is the most important.

"I have a body!" Jing Zhengming couldn't sit still anymore, paced slowly in the room, pinched his fingers and counted the days, just when he grounded the Sun family some time ago and stayed overnight with Aunt Wen.

"My aunt just had a body, and her mind was uncertain, so she asked the slave and maid to ask for the same grace as the Hou Ye." Looking at the happy look on Jing Zhengming's face, Xi Xia said out loud.

"Oh, but what's the matter, you just tell me." Jing Zhengming waved his hand, and sat down in front of the red sandalwood table again, obviously looking extremely happy.

"My aunt told the slave maid, Mrs. already complained about my aunt, and now my aunt is pregnant, and she was pregnant when Mrs. was grounded during that period, I am afraid that Mrs. will be unhappy in her heart, but now my aunt's body is within three months, and I heard the old doctor in the house say that the first three months should be extra careful."

Xi Xia said, stretched out her slender hand and poured a cup of fragrant tea for Jing Zhengming, and also poured a cup for herself, carefully looked at Jing Zhengming's face, and then continued, "Now my aunt is going to ask Mrs. for peace every day, but in these three months, my body can't help but take care of ......."

These words can be said to be reasonable, not only to make clear the words that have always been suspicious between the lady and Aunt Wen, but also to explain the aunt's last resort to Jing Zhengming, if Sun talks about this with Jing Zhengming in the future, it will seem that her small belly and chicken intestines are intolerable, and now as long as Jing Zhengming agrees, this matter is almost certain.

"Well, you have a point." Jing Zhengming stroked his beard, looked at Xi Xia, who was deeply blessed below, and said, "The matter of this heir is the most important, and I will go and order it from Madame." And take good care of your aunt's womb. ”

"Thank you Lord Hou for your grace." Xixia was secretly happy in his heart.

"You take care of your aunt's fetus carefully, and Benhou will let the third lady take extra care of her in terms of clothing." Jing Zhengming saw that Xia Xia was about to go out, and couldn't help but admonish again.

Listening to Steward Wang's report in detail, Jing Shengwu raised his eyebrows with interest.

Aunt Wen's preemptive tactic was used extremely well. If she stayed in the past, she naturally didn't dare to talk about the entanglement with the Sun family in front of Jing Zhengming at will, but now that she has a body, it is not an exaggeration for Jing Zhengming to say that she is 100 obedient, and she will know it by looking at the original Aunt Jin, and the words will be clarified first. In the future, when the Sun family wanted to put on small shoes for Aunt Wen, Jing Zhengming was the first to refuse.

"This Aunt Wen is also scheming, first to please Mrs. Tai, and then go to the Hou Ye to behave well." Mama Wang frowned and said in a low voice.

Jing Shengwu shook her head with a smile when she heard this, and said, "I'm afraid that she didn't get a good deal from Mrs. Tai, so she had to go to the study to ask her father." ”

Looking at Aunt Wen's cautious appearance at the beginning, she knew that before the pregnancy was ripe, she didn't want to show the slightest rumor, Aunt Jin's miscarriage was not a bloody example, Aunt Wen didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, so she had to ask Mrs. Tai for shelter with a shy face. If you can't hide it 100% and don't report it, it is better to be fortunate that everyone knows about it, and the Sun family is not easy to hack.

Aunt Wen walked around for a while accompanied by Xixia, and not long after returning to the South Courtyard, before she could sit down, she saw Jing Shengwu and Xueyue coming over with a group of people.

Jing Shengwu found a seat and sat down, and said with a smile: "It's a great joy that my aunt is pregnant, and her body needs to be taken care of." ”

As she spoke, Xue Yue waved her hand. A group of servants behind him hurriedly stepped up and laid out the things behind him.

Aunt Wen took a look, and it was all fine silk and satin, as well as all kinds of exquisite food, bird's nest, shark fin and other ingredients.

Look back. Respectfully held by the two maids was a large bunch of Shu brocade and Yun brocade, and the last little maid respectfully held a box of old mountain ginseng, as well as a box of gold and silver bills and white jade jewelry.

Aunt Wen showed panic on her face, and said softly: "Third Miss, what are you doing, these things are too precious. I can't take it. ”

"Auntie is now the first important thing in our Hou Mansion, that is, it is okay to move the entire children's warehouse to the south courtyard, and my father sent someone to instruct my aunt that the clothes and food here must be the best."

"This ......"

Seeing this, Jing Shengwu smiled lightly: "Cherish Xia, you can put away these things for your aunt." ”

Xi Xia turned her head to look at Aunt Wen when she heard this, and saw that she nodded slowly, so she happily drove away.

"I am really scared that Miss Lao San ran this trip herself"

"The family doesn't talk about the two families, and my aunt is separated from me when she says this," Jing Shengwu looked around with a light smile, and then instructed Xi Xia: "Tell the small kitchen, in the future, add an astragalus old chicken soup to my aunt's lunch, so that my aunt can make up for her body, in addition, replace the Su embroidery soft pillow in my aunt's room with a soft pillow of Yunjin Suyu, the silk thread is too rough, and it is not good for my aunt's sleep, and I changed the old colored curtain in my aunt's room, isn't there a new lotus lotus color curtain in the warehouse, Take it out for your aunt and put it on. ”

"Yes, Third Miss, the slave has written it down." Xi Xia responded respectfully.

Aunt Wen looked into the distance, looking at Jing Shengwu's distant back and was slightly distracted, until Xixia on the side whispered to her.

"Auntie, auntie."

Only then did Aunt Wen come back to her senses, pursed the dark color in her eyes, and said slowly: "Can you notice that the third miss is different from before?" ”

Xi Xia nodded thoughtfully when she heard this, and responded: "Yes, since the third miss walked around the ghost gate last time, she looked like a different person, and it made people panic when they looked at it." ”

Hearing this, Aunt Wen's eyes deepened, and she lowered her head and whispered: "Looking at her smiling and moaning today, I know what a real smile is to hide a knife." ”

Xi Xia listened to Aunt Wen's words, her heart was shocked, and she couldn't help but whisper: "Aunt means that the third lady wants to harm you?" ”

Aunt Wen only shook her head slowly, she really couldn't understand this third lady whose temperament had changed drastically, so she just tried to avoid it in the future.

"Miss." Xue Yue said slowly: "Aunt Wen has to arrange for someone to go over......"

Jing Shengwu shook her head: "No need, we don't interfere with her well water, she is smart, she should understand what I mean." ”

"Aunt Liu......"

Before Xue Yue's words fell, she saw Jing Shengwu frowning, looking quite a headache.

The news of Aunt Liu's pregnancy has not yet been disclosed, she is about to find a suitable time, at the moment Aunt Liu is most favored by Jing Zhengming in the Hou Mansion, if she is pregnant at this time, it will not arouse the suspicion of others at all, but this moment made Aunt Wen take the lead.

"According to Aunt Liu's temperament, I guess I can't sit still." Jing Shengwu sighed lowly.

Xue Yueqiao's face frowned, and she said dissatisfiedly: "Aunt Liu is also a person who has no eyesight, if she really explains to Hou Ye at this time that she is pregnant, she may not be able to get a favor from Aunt Wen." ”

Xueyue said this well, in terms of appearance, patience, forbearance, and scheming, Aunt Liu and Aunt Wen are not on the same level at all.

Aunt Liu wants to borrow the child in her belly to fight for power and profit, Aunt Wen's mind may not be simple, the huge Qi'an Hou Mansion has been prosperous for a hundred years, but there can only be one heir, depending on which of the two of them can win Jing Zhengming's favor more, in the past, Aunt Wen was unknown and did not fight with others, if she really wanted to compete with Aunt Liu, with Aunt Liu's shallow knowledge, there was no competition.

Jing Shengwu didn't still have any patience for Aunt Liu, but now that Aunt Liu threatened her mother, she couldn't sit idly by.

"Spread the word to the north courtyard and tell Aunt Liu not to tell her father that she is pregnant at this time." Jing Shengwu frowned and ordered.

Xue Yue replied with a low "yes", and then hurried towards the north courtyard.

I hope Aunt Liu won't cause any trouble for Miss, Xue Yue thought silently in her heart.

"What did you say!"

Hearing Xueyue's words, Aunt Liu was furious and shouted loudly as if she wanted to jump up.

Xue Yue suppressed the disgust in her heart, and said patiently: "My young lady is stepping on the same boat as Aunt Liu right now, and she will not sit idly by, please relax my aunt." ”

Hearing this, Aunt Liu snorted coldly, and said with disdain: "Don't fool me with these beautiful words, my own child is still me, and I want to fight for him!" (To be continued.) )
