After Shao Ding went out, he went to the outskirts of the city to ride a horse and gallop for half a day, and his mood calmed down a lot. Waiting for him to believe in the reins of the horse, he slowly returned to the city gate, Wei Donglou, who had received the news, was waiting there, and saw Shao Ding riding on a horse from a distance, Wei Donglou suddenly felt a little sad.

However, in two months, Shao Ding's high-spirited appearance on the royal road when he was triumphant seems to be vivid, and now although he is still heroic, there is a lingering tiredness between his eyebrows and eyes, as his deputy general and friend, the feeling of Shao Ding's change in Weidonglou is the most obvious. His youthful spirit seemed to have been sharpened, and the whole person was much silent, and when he rode on the horse, he showed some confusion and laziness.

Shao Ding gradually got closer, Wei Donglou pressed his thoughts and stepped forward, "I have found some clues about that matter. ”

Shao Ding listened, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his back couldn't help but straighten up, as if an ancient sword had been waiting for several years to finally come out of its sheath, "Let's talk about it in my house." ”

When the two arrived at the study outside the Hou Mansion, Wei Donglou said, "After you defeated Qiang Rong, Your Majesty named you the Marquis of Dingyuan, and it is logical for our Northern Army to stay in Jizhou to defend the northern frontier to prevent those Qiang Rong from committing again." It's just that there have always been voices in the DPRK and China opposing letting you return to Jizhou to take charge of the Northern Army, which is headed by the queen's own brother, Cao Lixin, the Duke of Liang. ”

Shao Ding nodded, indicating that he knew these things.

Wei Donglou continued, "The trend of forming parties and running private interests has always prevailed in the DPRK and China, and Cao Lixin is no exception. You were drugged on the day of your wedding, and today it has been verified that you have nothing to do with him. He took out a stack of letters and handed them to Shao Ding, "This is the report letter handed in by Yan Lingwei after the investigation." ”

Shao Ding took a look, "This person made this kind of subterfuge make my house unharmonious, my family is restless, and I can't leave Fengnuma for a while, and I can't bring this kind of thing to the table, and it will damage my wife's reputation, even if the matter is exposed, there is no loss." If I am a person who knows the times, I should swallow my anger at this time, but unfortunately ......"

Shao Ding showed a slight smile, "I'm not such a temperamental person. ”

By dusk, Yan Furong's love had stabilized a lot. Songyan folded a few of the newly opened begonias in the yard to show her, and Yan Furong smiled. A room full of servants, large and small, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw the smile on her face. Song Yan said, "We have a pair of plum green flowers, it is better to use them to insert this begonia." ”

Although Yan Furong was still a little mentally weak after hysteria, he couldn't help but say when he heard this, "You can tell it, how can this big fluffy silk begonia match that narrow flower goose, I see this fresh pink, I should go and get the sweet white glazed ear bottle, or the pomegranate Zun of blue and white honeysuckle." ”

Songyan led her to speak, and her heart became happy, and Yuhua, who was in charge of the utensils, said on the side, "I'll go get it." So she took the two little maids and went in a hurry. The people in the room couldn't help but laugh when they saw her neat appearance.

After dinner, Shao Ding came over to talk to Yan Furong through the door. The other maidservants all retreated with their eyes, and only Songyan stayed in the inner room to serve because Yan Furong was forced to stay.

Shao Ding said with a little smile in the hall, "I am very happy to know that you have a child. ”

Yan Furong only thought that he was a person who did not save zài, and pruned the bouquet of begonia flowers in the room by himself.

Shao Ding said, "Since we have become husband and wife, whether you forgive me or not, we will be together until we grow old in this life, and if you give birth to this child, I will never enter your room in the future." ”

Yan Furong's expression moved, and she asked, "Is this true?" ”

Shao Ding saw that she had some reactions when she heard this, and he felt lost in his heart, and still smiled on his face, "Seriously." ”

Yan Furong was happy, she had been married to the Hou Mansion for two months, and this was the first time she smiled in front of Shao Ding. This smile is really like the beginning of frost and snow, the recovery of heaven and earth, the beauty is incomprehensible, Shao Ding saw it, and made up his mind in his heart, "I will go to Jizhou to inspect in the near future, you are pregnant, it is inconvenient to work, and there is no one to take care of you at home, I was raised under the knees of the Queen Mother when I was young, and I asked her to send a few aunts to take care of you after a few ****." ”

When Songyan heard that he was going to Jizhou, he was a little nervous, and he didn't know if Qiang Rong would have trouble again?

Yan Furong said, "When are you leaving?" ”

Shao Ding said, "It's not a fixed date yet." ”

Yan Furong was not interested, and only said, "I know." ”

Seeing this, Shao Ding went out and went back to the east wing to rest.

Knowing that Shao Ding was going to go far away, Songyan led Xueya, and Yunwu secretly made shoes and socks for Shao Ding, not daring to let Yan Furong know. A few days later, the people in the palace really arrived and came to Zhengqiu Hall to meet Yan Furong. The leader is the two aunts named Cui Wei and Hongying, with four aunts who specialize in delivering babies, and four aunts who specialize in serving confinement. The two aunts of the green wisps of red tassels were emaciated, unsmiling, looking different from others, with a kind of murderous atmosphere, lining Mother Cao and Mother Jin like two dough pinched out of the figures, and hid back. Yan Furong, who originally didn't take it seriously, couldn't help but get up sternly when she saw these two people.

The two of them took eight aunts to salute Yan Furong, and Yan Furong ordered and asked Xue Ya to reward the silver taels. Emerald Red received the reward, raised her head and looked at Yan Furong respectfully and with some closeness.

Cui Wei said, "In the past, when I was by the side of the Queen Mother, I never saw Mrs., I only heard the reputation of Mrs. ”

Songyan saw that Cui Wei intended to make friends, and his heart was a little calm, and he heard Yan Furong say lightly, "My aunt has won the award, but it is just a false name." ”

Cui Wei didn't say anything anymore, and said with red eyes slightly red, "Madame is pregnant now, and our Hou Ye has a successor, and the Shaw family finally has a bloodline continuation." ”

Yan Furong and Shao Ding have no feelings, and they have no sense of belonging to the Shaw Family.

The three of them had no contact, and the scene immediately seemed a little cold, Songyan saw that Cao's mother and Jin's mother didn't speak, and said with a smile, "Madame's appetite has always been bad since she was pregnant, and I heard that a few aunts are coming, so they can be regarded as looking forward to a savior." ”

I thought that after mentioning these things, the two aunts would be able to open the conversation, but I didn't expect Cui Wei and Hong Ying to hear this and suddenly pause, looking at each other, and finally Cui Wei said to the aunts behind her lightly, "Do you know why? ”

The eight aunts respectfully agreed, and then answered one by one how to deal with the pregnant woman's poor appetite.

Song Yan felt strange in her heart, and she didn't know what the identities of these two aunts were, and why they were so relied on?

Shao Ding's departure time was set, and Songyan sent the shoes and socks in the name of Yan Furong. When Shao Ding saw it, he was a little stunned for a while, and asked, "This is what Mrs. did?" ”

As a servant, the master should have asked and answered, and should not have his own chisel attachment. It's just that Songyan didn't know why, and said ambiguously, "Madame is pregnant, so you can't bother with it." It was a few of us who did it. ”

It's true that you can't bother to be pregnant, and it's true that things are made by maidservants, but it sounds like Yan Furong ordered Songyan to do it, which makes people sound a little ironing. Shao Ding listened, and didn't show any expression, just signaled that Songyan could go down.

Song Yan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master Hou, did you go to Jizhou because Qiang Rong came to commit again?" ”

Shao Ding heard her ask, looked at her a little strangely, did not answer her directly, but looked at her and pondered for a moment, and asked, "Why aren't you afraid of me?" ”

The people around Yan Furong, because of Yan Furong's almost collapsed appearance on the second day of the wedding, have always been afraid of Shao Ding. And Song Yan, the most trusted maid who was the first to see the traces on Yan Furong's body at that time, didn't seem to be afraid of Shao Ding, and now took the initiative to talk.

Song Yan said, "You are a hero who fights Qiangrong, I am not afraid of you." ”

When Shao Ding heard her say this, he was stunned at first, and then saw that her expression was still frank and sincere, but he believed it a little, and said, "I went to Jizhou this time, just for a routine inspection." The Qiangrong people had just suffered a defeat, and when they had a few years of recuperation after paying tribute to the imperial court, they would not be so unaware of the provocation. ”

Songyan relieved himself and retreated.
