223 Cold War
"Miss, it's time to eat."
Jin Yu walked into the dormitory with a tray full of lunch in his hand, and while putting the tray on the table, he turned to Qu Wurong who was teasing his son on the bed and said.
Hearing her voice, Qu Wurong gently pulled out the index finger that was held in the palm of his son's hand, and the little guy noticed that his "toy" was gone, so he chirped twice with his small mouth, but he didn't cry.
Qu Wurong leaned down and kissed his tender little face, then lifted the quilt and got out of bed, walked towards the table in the center of the dormitory, and asked as he walked, "Where is the nurse?" ”
"Wait outside!" Jin Yu had already prepared the dishes for her, and when she saw her sit down, he handed her the chopsticks in his hand, "Do you want to let her in now?" ”
"Let her in." Qu Wurong thought for a while and replied, "The little guy should be hungry too." ”
Jin Yu nodded, "Then I'll call her in." ”
Not long after she had gone out, a woman in her early twenties came in from outside the hall, and the woman first saluted Qu Wurong before she went to the bed, picked up the little one lying on the bed, and began to nurse.
Qu Wurong's appetite was not very good, and he put down his chopsticks just after a few bites, Jin Yu couldn't help but persuade worriedly when he saw this: "Miss, how can you eat such a little bit of food on such a big table?" After speaking, she picked up the chopsticks and put a lot of dishes into Qu Wurong's bowl, "You have to eat all of them!" ”
Looking at the food piled up like a hill in front of him, Qu Wurong looked at her helplessly, "How can I finish eating so much?" It's not pig farming! ”
"You just gave birth to a child, and it's time to replenish your body, where is all this?" Jin Yu retorted with a righteous face, "With your little amount of food, you don't eat as much as the little prince!" ”
Qu Wurong turned his head and glanced at his son who was breastfeeding, and saw that the little guy's little mouth was moving happily, a pair of small hands were clenched into fists, and he waved them twice from time to time, as if he was cheering himself up.
I don't know if he was infected by his son's good appetite, Qu Wurong picked up the chopsticks again, and ate a small half of the food in front of him, only then did he raise his head and look at Jin Yu who was standing next to him, "I really can't eat it!" ”
Knowing that she had something on her mind, Jin Yu no longer forced her and asked her to pack up the rest of the meal and take it out.
At this time, the nurse had already fed the little guy, stood up and asked Qu Wurong for instructions: "Niangniang, do you want the little prince to continue to stay here, or let the slave take him out and coax him to sleep for a while?" ”
"Take him out." Qu Wurong thought for a while and said.
"Yes!" The nurse agreed, and carefully carried the little one out of the dormitory.
There were only two people left in the dormitory, Qu Wurong and Jin Yu, and before Jin Yu could say anything, Qu Wurong waved his hand at her, "You go out too, I want to stay alone for a while." ”
Jin Yu originally wanted to find an opportunity to persuade her, but when she heard her say this, she had to temporarily dismiss this idea.
Outside the dormitory, Shen Wu'an was taking his son from the nurse, and when he raised his eyes and saw her come out, he asked aloud, "Why don't you stay in the palace and wait?" ”
"Miss said she wanted to be by herself for a while." Jin Yu replied truthfully.
Shen Wu'an pursed his mouth when he heard this, and did not speak again.
Since he came back from giving birth that day, Qu Wurong didn't see him anymore, and the girls didn't know what was going on, at first they thought she was too tired after giving birth, but after a few days, they also noticed that something was wrong.
"Your Majesty, did you quarrel with Miss?" After enduring it for several days, Jin Yu finally couldn't help it anymore and asked boldly.
She also asked Qu Wurong this question a few days ago, but she couldn't get an answer from her, looking at the two masters who are usually so affectionate and hateful that they are glued together everywhere all the time, but now they are like the Cowherd and Weaver Girl in the sky, separated by a thick carved wooden door, Shen Wu'an's teasing of his son paused slightly, "Sort of." ”
"Haven't you two always had a good relationship? How can there be a quarrel? Hearing him confirm his conjecture, Jin Yu couldn't help but mutter.
It's no wonder she can't understand that since Shen Wu'an and Qu Wurong have been married for so long, the two of them have not quarreled, and they haven't even blushed once, not to mention that now that their children have been born, why did they make an awkward mess at such a time?
Although she spoke in a very small voice, as if she was talking to herself, Shen Wu'an still heard her words very clearly, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
He knew that Qu Wurong was using this wordless way to force him to give up his decision to go to Bailiao and relatives, and instead promised to let her go to Bailiao and get along with her relatives in exchange for a paper alliance with Bailiao Kingdom, but how could he agree?
The last parting was still clearly imprinted in Shen Wu'an's mind, and he had promised never to part with her again, but now how could he watch her leave him again?
Thinking of this, Shen Wu'an subconsciously clenched his fists, but forgot that he was holding the little guy at this time, and the little guy's little hand was still in his palm, and the little guy who was drowsy after eating was full, and immediately cried out with a "wow".
Shen Wu'an came back to his senses, quickly let go of his hand, and softly coaxed the little guy in his arms.
However, the little guy didn't eat him, and the loud cry instantly spread throughout the entire Xiangxue Palace, but fortunately, the nurse rushed over as soon as she heard the cry, and then the grumpy little guy fell asleep.
Shen Wu'an was in no mood to stay any longer at this time, so he stood up and left the Xiangxue Palace.
After he left, several girls put down their work and got together, and seemed to be worried but actually gossipy: "It seems that this time it is very strict!" ”
"Can you not be strict?" Bai Xue glanced at Yang Chun, who spoke, "Niangniang has been locked in the dormitory for several days, although the emperor will come to visit her and the little prince every day, but he has always refused to say a soft word to coax her, and both of them are holding their breath in their hearts!" ”
Jin Yu glanced at the closed door of the dormitory, and said worriedly: "Niangniang is still doing confinement, I can't stand it at this time, and I don't know what the emperor thinks, what can't be discussed?" ”
"You can't say that." Hearing her words, Yangchun couldn't help but retort, "Could it be that the emperor can still harm his mother?" The thing that can make him insist so much must be for the good of the mother! ”
Compared with Jin Yu and Liangyuan, Yangchun and Bai Xue, who have followed Shen Wu'an since childhood, undoubtedly know him better and understand his approach better.
"Alright, alright!" Worried that the two of them would quarrel when they were talking, Liangyuan hurriedly came out to play a round, "We don't know what's going on, what's the use of arguing here?" Now what we have to do is to do our own thing, don't worry about anything else, we can't do it!. ”
"That's right!" Bai Xue nodded approvingly, "Let them solve their own affairs." ”
This situation continued for several days, and Shen Wuan and Qu Wurong were like children who were angry with each other, and neither of them would take the lead in this contest to bow their heads.
"Sister."
On this day, Qu Wurong was standing outside the window of the dormitory, looking at the lush flowers and trees in the courtyard in a daze, when she heard a soft call behind her, she turned her head slowly, and saw Qu Yizhu walking towards her, "Why are you here?" ”
"My husband was summoned by the emperor to the palace to discuss matters, so I followed him over to see you and the little prince." Qu Yizhu said, taking off a cloak from the hanger and draping it over her shoulders, "Although the weather is hot now, you can't catch a cold while you are still in confinement, so you still have to pay more attention!" ”
Qu Wurong stretched out his hand and pulled the cloak on his shoulder, it was already very cool in this dormitory, and after her son was born, she was no longer as hot as when she was pregnant, and she did feel a little cool after standing at the window for a long time, but she didn't have the heart to take care of this, "I'm fine." ”
Despite what she said, Qu Yizhu still pulled her away from the window and returned to the hall to sit down, "I heard Jin Yu and the others say, you have an awkward relationship with the emperor?" Is it because of the border matter? ”
Qu Wurong was slightly stunned when he heard this, and looked at her, "You know everything?" ”
"My husband has mentioned some to me, but not many." Qu Yizhu said, stretched out his hand and persuaded softly, "Actually, my sister doesn't have to worry too much, the emperor's safety is a matter of importance after all, and I believe that those adults in the court will not sit idly by." ”
Qu Wurong sighed softly, "If you're afraid, you're afraid, the emperor won't listen to them at all!" ”
"Is there something hidden here?" Hearing that there was something in her words, Qu Yizhu asked strangely.
She is not an outsider, Qu Wurong thought about it, and told him everything from beginning to end, these words have been held back in her heart for a long time, and she really needs to find someone to talk to.
After listening to her words, Qu Yizhu was stunned, and it took a while to find her voice back, "So, my sister wants to sacrifice herself to Bailiao and her relatives in exchange for them to make an alliance with us?" ”
"Hmm." Qu Wurong nodded, his eyes staring at the cup in his hand, "Now it's only like this, no matter what, I can't let the emperor go to the front line to take risks!" ”
Qu Yizhu pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.
She knew that she should persuade Qu Wurong to dispel this idea, after all, if Qu Wurong really went to Bailiao Country to make peace, then the fate between her and Shen Wu'an would come to an end, which was undoubtedly a cruel thing for two people who loved each other.
But Qu Yizhu opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't say anything.
Qu Wurong went to Bailiao and his relatives, at least his life would not be threatened; But if Shen Wu'an really personally led him to the border pass to fight, any accident on the battlefield could happen, in case he had something long and two short, I am afraid that Qu Wurong would not be at ease in his life!
It wasn't until this moment that Qu Yizhu understood that they were obviously two people who loved each other deeply, why this time they refused to bow to each other first, they both chose to sacrifice themselves for each other, and what they had between them was just deep affection, but there was no right or wrong.
The Imperial Study.
In the smoke of tea, An Lehou lifted the teapot on the table, poured fragrant tea for the teacup in front of the two, and said lightly: "The emperor should not have too much hope." ”
He entered the palace today nominally as summoned by the emperor, but in fact, he received a secret decree from Shen Wu'an, asking him to bring Qu Yizhu into the palace to persuade Qu Wurong, but he didn't have any hope for this, this time Qu Wurong was obviously determined, even Shen Wu'an had no way to take her, let alone Qu Yizhu, who had always been obedient to her.
Shen Wu'an's hand holding the cup paused slightly, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "No matter what the result is, it's good to have someone to talk to her." ”
