Chapter 232: Blocking
Lu Manyu suddenly said such a sentence, which made Lu Qingrong difficult to discern his meaning.
Lu Qingrong wasn't even sure if what she said was purely due to affection, or if she really meant something.
But he didn't have a chance to ask for details, and at this time, the crown princess and Tang Yue had already returned to the main hall.
It is not easy to let their sisters get along alone for a long time, not to mention that Lu Qingrong knows in his heart that just now Lu Manyu saw that the crown princess and her party returned to the East Palace, so she said such a vague sentence, even if she had the opportunity to ask, she would definitely not be able to ask anything.
After a while, when Tang Yue got up to say goodbye, Lu Qingrong followed him out of the East Palace.
The two sat together in the carriage back, rarely saying nothing all the way.
Each was a little absent-minded.
Lu Qingrong couldn't help but ponder Lu Manyu's words repeatedly, "You better worry about yourself more", who are "you" referring to?
Himself and Jiang Xuan?
Lu Qingrong couldn't wait to hear any news from Jiang Xuan now, and seemed to feel that only this was a sign of a qiēshun lì, and instinctively ruled out this possibility at this time.
When he looked up, he happened to meet Tang Yue's slightly distracted gaze, and Lu Qingrong suddenly thought that it was her and Tang Yue......
At the same time, Tang Yue's heart was also uneasy.
On the way to Fengning Palace, the crown princess wanted to speak a few times, and her eyes seemed to be a little sad, and when she arrived at Fengning Palace, the queen mother was obviously much more enthusiastic than before. In her impression, except for the time when she went to Fengning Hall to bow before her wedding to the second prince, the Queen Mother greeted her quite lovingly, and rewarded many tonics in one go......
The two people in the carriage had their own thoughts in this way, and it was difficult to find a clue.
However, their fears proved to be unfounded.
At the end of May, news suddenly came out that the Empress Dowager's decree had added two side concubines to King Jing's Mansion.
This has even caused a lot of waves in the officialdom of the capital.
The second prince has a few more side concubines, which should not be any amazing news, but when the prince was alive, the second prince even had a long delay in getting married, and now that the wedding is less than a year, two side concubines have been added at one time, which will inevitably cause speculation.
Whether there are children or not is an extremely important criterion for becoming a prince, and the second prince is close to a weak crown, and he has an advantage over the eldest grandson of the emperor in terms of age. Although the concubine is from the Queen Mother's decree this time, the emperor must have nodded his head, could it be that the emperor's heart is a little tilted...... But the eldest grandson of the emperor still lives in the East Palace!
The will is unpredictable, and no one is sure what it means.
When Lu Qingrong heard about this, she was also stunned for a long time, but she didn't think that this was the emperor favoring the second prince.
One of the side concubines, whom she recognized, was the concubine of the second room of the Chengping Marquis Mansion, Song Miaoxue.
Thinking of the most well-informed and showy girl in the women's school, and then thinking of her mother who repeatedly came to Lufu to talk to the matchmaker, Lu Qingrong could only sigh.
And this is not the worst, because the other side concubine is from the side branch of the Wu family. It is said that they were selected from distant relatives outside the capital.
Knowing this, Lu Qingrong suddenly worried about Tang Yue's situation, but it was not good to go to the palace to visit him rashly.
How many people in the capital are staring at King Jing's Mansion, Jiang Xuan is now out with heavy troops in his hands, if he runs to the palace frequently, it is not very suitable......
At this time, in Fengyuan, Qiu Jinting heard the news at first, but he didn't care about Tang Yue at all, and he didn't care what the Wu family girl was, but he was a little pantothenic acid to Song Miaoxue.
"Hmph, why did one or two of them go to be a side concubine!" Qiu Jinting said with disdain, "First there were Lu Manyu and Xu Ying, and now people like Song Miaoxue have actually climbed to the top branches." She didn't want to think about what benefits the two people had gotten before! ”
At this time, there were only two people in the inner room, Qiu Jinting and Xiangqiao.
Xiangqiao followed her meaning and reluctantly coped: "It's just that she's lucky, who can say what will happen in the future." ”
Qiu Jinting was useless: "What do you know, this is not her luck!" She is just a make-up number, and it is not good for the Queen Mother to send two girls from the Wu family into the palace at once! ”
Qiu Jinting's voice was a little louder, and he actually felt a pain in his lower abdomen.
Xiang Qiaoden noticed her strange appearance and hurriedly stepped forward: "The second grandmother has abdominal pain again, do you want to boil the medicine?" ”
Qiu Jinting frowned tightly and nodded.
Xiangqiao immediately went down and ordered the maid to boil the medicine, and then returned to the inner room.
The whole process was extremely neat, because this was not the first time.
In the past month, Qiu Jinting has often made this mistake.
Since last month, Mrs. Zou gave birth ahead of schedule, but it was not adopted, so she prescribed some prescriptions for the fetus, making it clear that it could not cure the root cause, but only relieve the symptoms of abdominal pain.
The first few times I took medicine, although it worked, every time Qiu Jinting's abdominal pain attacked, he was strict with one point.
"Second grandma, do you use some snacks before drinking medicine?" Xiangqiao was very worried about Qiu Jinting, "You ate too little for lunch just now......
"No!" Qiu Jinting interrupted her in a hurry.
Looking at his high and bulging abdomen, which still felt bigger than it looked like in six months, Qiu Jinting couldn't wait to skip eating at all.
Xiangqiao didn't dare to say more.
And after boiling the medicine, after Qiu Jinting took it, he didn't get better for half a day.
He Qingwan also rushed over when she heard the news, although Qiu Jinting was not very willing to let her accompany her these days, she did not dare to be careless.
I saw Qiu Jinting half-lying on the bed in the inner room at this time, covering his abdomen with his hands, and the expression on his face was already a little distorted.
He Qingwan immediately felt that something was wrong: "Do you want to invite Imperial Doctor Zou over?" ”
"No!" Qiu Jinting hurriedly stopped, "It's all an old problem, it's not like the doctor hasn't been here before!" ”
These days, Imperial Doctor Zou has come to the Hou Mansion a little often, Qiu Jinting thought to herself, she really didn't want others to pay too much attention to her stomach.
Instead of letting the imperial doctor be invited, Qiu Jinting simply threw He Qingwan and Xiangqiao out.
Xiangqiao was submissive and completely out of ideas.
He Qingwan was invited to live in the Hou Mansion in order to accompany Qiu Jinting to keep him safe. At this time, in case of an accident and making herself responsible, she immediately decided to invite Jiang Ke over.
Jiang Ke, the deputy commander of the Beicheng Terracotta Division, is simply an out-and-out idle job, and he doesn't have to be an errand at all. And because he also has an official position, Mrs. Wu no longer asks him to study too much. At this time, it was almost time, and as expected, Jiang Ke should be taking a nap in Tang Shan's house.
He Qingwan first instructed the maid to invite, but after a while, the person was sent back, and he didn't even see Jiang Ke's face.
He Qingwan didn't think much about it, and came to Tang Shan's courtyard with Xiangqiao, but he still couldn't enter the house.
In front of the door, two green-clothed maids, one tall and one short, refused to report or let them in.
Seeing that Xiangqiao couldn't hold back a word for a long time, He Qingwan had no choice but to speak by herself: "The second grandmother is unwell, you go and ask the second master to come out!" ”
"The second grandmother is the county lord, and there are usually doctors for diagnosis and treatment, why don't you hurry up and invite the doctor, what are you doing here? Our second grandmother doesn't know how to see a doctor! The taller maid said directly, without taking He Qingwan in her eyes at all, and when Tang Shan was mentioned, she even omitted the "Tang".
He Qingwan suppressed the anger in her heart: "How to diagnose and treat you if you don't want to do it, you just have to go back to the second master!" ”
The maid remained unmoved, and replied softly, "At such a time...... We don't dare to bother. Besides, the second master won't see a doctor! ”
He Qingwan was so angry that she was about to use her momentum to deal with them, when Tang Shan slowly walked out of the house.
"What's going on? The second master just stopped, you are so noisy and yelling, are you itching! Tang Shan scolded softly.
He Qingwan was even more angry.
Tang Shan walked all the way to her, as if she had just seen her, and said with a mocking tone: "Oh, who should I be!" It turned out that Song Er's grandmother was here! ”
When He Qingwan heard this, her face turned red to the root of her ears, and she was so angry that she remembered the purpose of coming, and she didn't plan to worry too much about her, she just pretended not to hear it, and patiently said that the second grandmother was unwell and wanted to ask the second master to come over to take a look.
"Second grandma, what's wrong?" Tang Shan looked surprised, "But what's the big deal?" ”
"The second grandmother has a terrible stomachache, and she doesn't want to ask for a doctor, we don't feel at ease when we look at it, so we came over to ask the second master to decide." He Qingwan explained.
"Oops, that's a big deal!" Tang Shan's tone was exaggerated, "The matter of the heir can't be ambiguous, you go and ask the imperial doctor, and when the second master wakes up in a while, I will help you pass the word immediately." ”
After speaking, Tang Shan stood there motionless, looking back at He Qingwan with a smile.
Only then did He Qingwan realize that she was actually perfunctory!
"It's urgent, if the second grandmother has three long and two short, can you afford it?" He Qingwan asked.
Tang Shan didn't think so, although He Qingwan came here for the first time, but in the past month, Jiang Ke had been invited several times by the main house with this rhetoric.
At this time, after listening to He Qingwan's questioning, she was not to be outdone.
I saw that the corners of Tang Shan's mouth were slightly upturned, and he raised his hand to support the red gold and ruby hairpin between his hair, and then pretended to be surprised: "This stomach hurts so much, could it be that she is going to give birth?" ”
He Qingwan was stunned, although she overheard the words of Qiu Jinting and Imperial Doctor Zou last time, she inevitably had doubts in her heart, but she always wanted to stand on Qiu Jinting's side: "Second Grandma's stomach is only six months old, you dare to say such an unlucky thing!" If it reaches Mrs. Wu's ears, see if you dare to say it again in front of her old man! ”
When Tang Shan heard this, he let out a sneer from his nose, and then said, "I really don't understand, what's so unlucky about this?" When your mother gave birth to you, it was probably the same month! Could it be that you don't know it? ”R1152
