"Is any request okay?" Gu Qingwan asked, and when she saw Zheng Rui nodding, she hesitated a little.

Even though she still learned chess skills with her husband in the boudoir, Gu Qingwan knew in her heart that her current level was just a stinky chess basket. In the past, she played with Zheng Rui, winning and losing, but she knew very well that she could win entirely because Zheng Rui was secretly releasing water. But if Zheng Rui is more serious, she has no chance of winning at all.

Seeing Gu Qingwan's hesitation, Zheng Rui smiled and said, "How about I let you have four sons and allow you to destroy the chess three times?" ”

Gu Qingwan thought about it quickly, and thought about the scene of the game in the past, but she felt that her chances of winning were still very good. It's just that Zheng Rui said that any request is fine, which is why she is excited and hesitant.

While still thinking about it, Zheng Rui sighed: "Since you're not interested, I'll just forget it." As he spoke, he lifted the curtain and looked out the window, then reached out and began to put away the chessboard on the low table.

"Wait......" Gu Qingwan hurriedly squeezed Zheng Rui's hand, "I didn't say that I shouldn't, you said that you let me have four sons, and let me regret playing three times." If I win, you have to say what you say, and no matter what I ask, you can't go back. ”

Zheng Rui lowered his eyes and glanced at Gu Qingwan's hand on the back of his hand, and only nodded: "I have always been a man of words." ”

Two quarters of an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the Jingwang Mansion, and Gu Qingwan and his party did not get out of the car, but were greeted by the Changshi of the Jingwang Mansion from the side door. After passing a door, Zheng Rui got out of the car and followed Changshi to the study in the outer courtyard, while Gu Qingwan changed to a small sedan chair to see Princess Jing in the inner courtyard.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Gu Qingwan saw the eldest maid Shangyuan and Hua Chao waiting in front of the door next to Princess Jing, and when she saw Gu Qingwan coming in, she hurriedly greeted her.

Princess Jing had already moved to the warm pavilion, so Gu Qingwan lifted the curtain and went in, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Princess Jing half-lying on the kang. Zheng He, who was only four years old and sat on the other side of the kang, wore only a single dress. There was some sweat on her forehead, but Princess Jing's face seemed to be a little pale.

Gu Qingwan hurriedly untied her cloak, and then asked, "Is the imperial sister-in-law sick?" ”

Princess Jing shook her head with a smile on her face. only said to Zheng He: "I haven't seen your Fifth Emperor Aunt yet." ”

Prince Jing now has only one son and one daughter under his knees, Zheng He is born by Princess Jing, is a sister-in-law and an only son, and he has a son just after birth. And the girl was born by Concubine Kang. She only turned two years old a year later, but she didn't ask for any title.

As soon as Zheng He saw Gu Qingwan come in, he was helped down by the maid. Now after listening to Princess Jing's words, she hurriedly took a few steps forward to salute Gu Qingwan. Gu Qingwan gave him a hand, then bent down and carried him to the kang again.

Zheng He seemed a little embarrassed, but his face turned even redder. Gu Qingwan looked at him squirming and thanking him, and finally couldn't help laughing.

"I've been a little unhappy these days, and you're not an outsider, so you haven't talked so much about hospitality." Gu Qingwan has a sincere love for Zheng He. Princess Jing looked at it in her eyes, and her tone became softer and softer.

Gu Qingwan straightened her face and nodded hurriedly: "Since that's the case, I looked at the imperial sister-in-law's face a little pale, but did I ask the imperial doctor to take a look?" ”

"Sister Shangyuan said that her mother was pregnant with her younger brother. It's a good thing. Princess Jing just laughed and didn't speak, but Zheng He, who was sitting on the side, opened her mouth and shouted.

Princess Jing smiled and nodded: "It's only been two months, so I haven't said anything outside." The day before yesterday, the imperial doctor came to the house to ask for a pulse, and the fetus was a little unstable, so he had to stay in bed and recuperate, and he couldn't be too tired. ”

"This is really a good thing, you must be careful in the first three months, and it is better for the imperial sister-in-law to recuperate for a while." Gu Qingwan glanced at Princess Jing's face, and also persuaded her.

"Some time ago, I was stronger, and now I have figured it out, what can be more important than the heir?" She glanced out the window with a distant gaze, "After the winter solstice, I will move to the Zhuangzi in Nanshan to recuperate for a month, I am afraid that I will have to wait until a few days before Chinese New Year's Eve to come back." ”

Gu Qingwan's eyes flashed, and she suddenly remembered Zheng Rui's request earlier.

Previously, she played against Zheng Rui, and the winner was five or five, although she knew that Zheng Rui released water in private, but Gu Qingwan was still a little lucky. At least Gu Qingwan felt that she was not a layman, and when Zheng Rui let her have four sons and made her regret playing chess three times, her chances of winning were still very big.

As a result, it will only take a quarter of an hour, and Zheng Rui will kill her without leaving a piece of armor.

Gu Qingwan was afraid that Zheng Rui would make some excessive demands, but Zheng Rui only said that this winter was too cold, and wanted Gu Qingwan to move with him to Zhuangzi in the eastern suburbs for a while in a few days, and then return to Beijing after the harsh winter.

After hearing this, Gu Qingwan also breathed a sigh of relief. She was already afraid of the cold, the winter in Beijing dripping into ice, and this year the cold was even worse, although the stove burned all day, Gu Qingwan still felt a little boiling. The Zhuangzi in the eastern suburbs was originally used to avoid the cold, and a new hot spring was dug up when the construction started, Gu Qingwan was a little moved when she thought about it.

Although at the end of November, the stewards of the Zhuangzi and shops from all over the country had to come to Beijing to pay their accounts, but they could also send the account books to the Zhuangzi in the eastern suburbs.

Therefore, Gu Qingwan didn't think much about it, so she happily agreed.

But now that Princess Jing is also going to Zhuangzi to recuperate, Gu Qingwan has to think about it more.

There are only two masters in King Rui's mansion, she and Zheng Rui, in the eyes of outsiders, Zheng Rui is a fool, and she and Changshi are in charge of things outside the courtyard, and she is the only one in the inner courtyard. Even if she goes to live in Zhuangzi for a few months, the trivial matters in King Rui's Mansion are naturally handled by the grandmother and the big girl around her, and the big things still have to send someone to deliver news to her.

But the situation in King Jing's Mansion is different. Under Princess Jing, there are still two side concubines in the backyard.

Not to mention that Concubine Ke, who was newly married this autumn, is the concubine of Princess Huihe - obviously she is from Queen Chen's side, that is, Concubine Kang's background is not low, and she also has a daughter.

Princess Jing went to Zhuangzi to raise a fetus, since it was a fetus, the affairs in the inner courtyard would naturally not be ignored, and the two side concubines in the house were in charge. As long as the rights of the inner court are handed over, not to mention whether Princess Jing can take it back immediately when she returns to the house after the New Year, she will be taken back, and how many people have been inserted in the middle will be enough for Princess Jing to drink a pot in the future.

Moreover, the most likely thing is that under the intervention of Empress Chen, Princess Jing, who is pregnant with Liujia, will continue to raise a fetus after returning home. After she became pregnant in October, the inner courtyard of King Jing's Mansion was already "a son of heaven and a courtier".

Many thoughts floated in my heart, but it was also a matter of time, only to hear Princess Jing say again: "Yesterday I discussed this matter with the prince, but he should go down, and he was afraid that I would be lonely under the knees of Nanshan, so let He'er go with me." ”

Gu Qingwan turned her head to look at Zheng He, but saw that he was staring at Princess Jing without blinking, and his eyes were shining. Obviously, for this prince who has been locked up in the palace for a long time, it is a very happy thing for him to be able to go to Zhuangzi.

Gu Qingwan opened her mouth, and only after a while did she say, "That's fine." ”

Princess Jing stretched out her hand and touched her belly, which was not yet pregnant, and her somewhat wilted face also had a hint of brilliance: "When I enter the palace tomorrow, I will mention this matter to the queen mother." ”

Gu Qingwan was full of worries, but Princess Jing's mind turned quickly: "The last time I entered the palace, the queen mother also mentioned Concubine Ke, saying that when she entered the palace on the day of the winter solstice, she would also take her to sit in Yongyan Palace. ”

"Concubine Ke is Ke's concubine, and when she is in the boudoir, Shihui and the princess often take her to the palace to talk to the queen's mother, and the mother is also reasonable to mention it in passing." Although she said that, Gu Qingwan knew in her heart that when Queen Chen mentioned this incident, she was just supporting Ke Yahe in disguise.

Sure enough, the corners of Princess Jing's mouth twitched slightly, and she turned her head to Shangyuan, who was waiting at the end of the curtain, and said, "You sent someone to invite the two side concubines, and said that Princess Rui had arrived, and asked them to come over and talk." Seeing that Shangyuan should go down, he said, "It is not appropriate for the prince to stay in the warm pavilion for a long time, let Mama Wang take him back to the house." ”

Saying that, he called Zheng He's nurse Mama Wang in and instructed her carefully, Zheng He saluted Princess Jing and Gu Qingwan again, and the group went out of the house.

After that, he didn't come in to serve the maids, and only Gu Qingwan and Princess Jing were left in the back room.

Princess Jing touched her stomach and only smiled: "The third brother pretended to be mentally deficient in front of everyone, and he has suffered a lot since he was a child, and even the marriage has been delayed for several years, and his life has been delayed. If not...... The first prince died, and the prince and the third brother were recorded in the name of the queen, and the marriage of the third brother is not known to be delayed. ”

Although Princess Jing's words carried a long list of foreshadowing, after listening to the beginning, Gu Qingwan guessed what Princess Jing wanted to say.

Sure enough, Princess Jing glanced at Gu Qingwan's stomach pointedly, and said politely: "Think about it, it has been more than eight months since you married your third brother, and I will ask the queen mother in the next year, and let Yu Yuan of the Tai Hospital give you a prescription for warm supplements." ”

Princess Kejing is only Gu Qingwan's sister-in-law and not her mother-in-law, of course she knows the truth of accepting it when she sees it, and seeing Gu Qingwan's embarrassed expression, she changed the topic with a smile.

When Concubine Kang and Ke Yahe arrived, Princess Jing was talking about Gu Qingwan offending Princess Huihe, but she persuaded her with a lot of seriousness. Just listening to the meaning of her words, Princess Jing just felt that Gu Qingwan should speak more tactfully, and she didn't care much about her offending Princess Huihe.

is not as good as Gu Qingwan, when the two side concubines came over, Shangyuan also came in and asked for instructions. To Gu Qingwan's surprise, Concubine Kang actually asked the girl she came out to hug her.

The sons and daughters of several princes today all have "color" in their names. Like the word "Dan" of the lord of Wanhua, the word "Qing" of King Ke's son, and the word "He" of King Jing's son. And the single name of the girl from Concubine Kang has the word "瑢", which has nothing to do with the color. (To be continued.) )
