Chapter 91: Identity
On this day, Xiyan really didn't get out of bed except for three meals. Li Xuan was afraid that she would be bored, so he simply found a few miscellaneous history books that were quite interesting in the past, leaned on the bedside and told her. Xiyan was not in good spirits, and after listening to it for a while, he fell asleep groggily. That's fine.
When she got up the next day, Xiyan felt that the pain in her lower abdomen was worse than the day before, and her face turned white. Li Xuan originally wanted to wait for her to be less uncomfortable before going back, but Xiyan was afraid that there would be many people in the palace, and some bad words would come out, so he urged him to go back to the house as soon as it was dawn. Li Xuan couldn't, so she had to have breakfast, and after a while, Fang helped her into the carriage and walked slowly all the way, finally arriving home before noon.
Ning Ruo didn't say much when she saw them, but just asked Xi Yan with concern why her face was so ugly, and if there was anything uncomfortable. Lao Fujin obviously disapproved of Li Xuan's excessive indulgence of Xiyan, but when he saw that Xiyan was ashamed, he didn't blame more, and only symbolically admonished two sentences and just stopped.
At this point, the relationship between Xiyan and Li Xuan has finally come closer. Even with it, the faces of the people who were waiting in the Chenxi Pavilion were a little more proud and happy, and their waists were straighter than before when they walked.
It is said that it is late April at this time, and according to the usual practice, the emperor and the queen mother are going to Chengde for the summer again. At this time last year, because Li Xuan had just married Xiyan, the emperor sympathized with their newlywed Yan'er and did not ask him to obey, but this year he is indispensable no matter what. There was nothing strange about this, but it was strange that this time he actually called Ning Ruo and Xiyan to go together. If it is said that Ning Ruo, as the prince of Rui, is also reasonable, it is reasonable to travel with her husband: after all, Li Xuan has just recovered from a serious illness, and he needs to have someone around to take care of him. But even Xiyan is among his peers, so it can't help but be eye-catching. You must know that even if it is a serious prince, not everyone has such an opportunity, not to mention that she is only a side room. For a while, there are envy, jealousy, flattery, and ridicule, and I don't know how many. In short, a qiē once again pushed Xiyan to the cusp.
Xiyan herself was sincerely afraid of this extra grace. Of course she was happy to be able to go out to play, but she didn't dare to show this happiness too obviously, not only was it not obvious, but she also deliberately kept a low profile, except for the necessary morning and dusk and meals, she just stayed in her room to read books, play chess, paint, and rarely even go out of the door. Fortunately, Li Xuan was also very busy at this time, and the number of times he came was very small, and the small Chenxi Pavilion became more and more quiet and silent.
Originally, everything was planned smoothly, and Xiyan was also looking forward to the trip every day. But I don't know if she was lucky or unlucky, before leaving, Ning Ruo suddenly fell ill - dizzy, collapsed and weak, and couldn't even get out of bed. After seeing it, the doctor said that it was not a big deal, but because the weather was too hot recently, it would be good to stay in bed and recuperate for a while. But her retreat, Chengde will definitely not be able to go. Not only will she not be able to go, but it stands to reason that Xi Yan, as a side blessing, also has to stay at home to serve the sick.
However, once again, something surprising happened: although Ning Ruo was left in the mansion to recuperate, Xi Yan's name was not removed from the accompanying list.
"You can help me talk to the Queen Mother, don't let me go?" When Li Xuan came to see her, she finally expressed her concerns.
"Why?" Li Xuan asked in surprise. When I knew that I could go to Chengde with him a while ago, I was as happy as a child, jumping and jumping around him, and now I was about to set off, why did I change my mind again?
“…… I want to take care of Sister Ning Ruo at home. ”
"That's what it was." Li Xuan suddenly couldn't help but smile and said, "Ning Ruo has someone around to serve you, since you have a heart, you can accompany her more in the past few days, where is the need to stay specially?" ”
"It's not just that......" she lowered her eyes and shook her head slightly. I'll go...... Square peg. "The female dependents who accompanied him this time removed a few Gege in the boudoir, either the prince Fujin, or the prince and the prince of the prince's family. If it was with Ning Ruo, she still had a reason, now that the housemother stayed at home, she had a side room......
The smile on Li Xuan's face froze slightly, and his heart throbbed. "Xiyan, you...... Do you feel aggrieved? ”
"No, no." She hurriedly explained. "Don't get me wrong, I'm just worried...... Such...... It's not good for you. Since she knew how terrible the rumors were, she didn't want to cause trouble for him again.
"Cranky again, isn't it?" He embraced her. "You are the queen mother's hand-picked escort, who dares to say badly?"
"Yes...... If Sister Ning is unwell, I will still follow you out...... I'm afraid ......," Xiyan hesitated.
"You still don't believe you." He took over with a smile, "Do you think the Queen Mother doesn't know that Ning Ruo is sick?" ”
Xiyan was stunned. "That'...... Why ......"
"Since the Queen Mother has indicated that she wants you to go, she naturally has her reasons." Li Xuan hugged her, "Now that this grace is for us, we can just take it happily." If you blindly push and hinder her, it will blow her old man's mind, but it seems that we don't know how to measure and don't know how to lift. It won't do you any good, or even the whole palace. You say, don't you? ”
"Yes......" she lowered her head guiltily and whispered, "I'm sorry, I thought I was wrong......"
"I don't blame you," he laughed, "I should have told you that earlier, and I wouldn't have saved you from thinking about it." He looked down at her, "Feel more at ease now?" ”
"Hmm." She rested her head against his chest and nodded sheepishly, "I see." It's because I'm too stupid to think of this. I thought it would be better for you not to go......"
"Why are you stupid? It's just too well thought out. He suppressed the sadness in his heart and said with a smile, "Now that I understand, I don't have to worry about this anymore, huh?" ”
"Got it." Xiyan said softly, "Later...... I listen to you. ”
"That's it." The thick smile in his words made Xiyan gradually stretch his brows. If she looked up at this time, she would definitely see Li Xuan's eyes full of distress and love.
Unfortunately, she didn't.
Even though he tried his best to give her everything, he could only let her resign herself to the position of side blessing.
How much helplessness and embarrassment is there, doesn't he understand?
He understands it too well.
But what could he do for her?
He...... Nothing can be done.
The only thing she could do was to ask the Queen Mother not to cross her name off the entourage list......
