Chapter 115
At lunch, Feng Luan asked for a few sour and cold dishes, as well as a thick soup.
Her eating habits follow her mother's instructions, pay attention to health and qi, no matter what she eats, the ingredients and accessories are carefully matched. Xiao Duo was a little unaccustomed to eating at first, but after eating for a while, he found that his body was very different from before, his teeth were no longer on fire, his stomach was not bloated, and he slowly got used to it when he felt the benefits.
Zhen's health and dress up have reached the point of being harsh, and when it comes to Fengluan, it is naturally perfect.
Xiao Duo felt that it was difficult to find a better match, so in addition to something, he ate in the warm incense dock almost every day, and Feng Luan laughed at him when he ate, "The prince eats a lot, eat one meal, and I eat alone for a day, so that you can come, the expenditure of my small kitchen here has increased several times." ”
Jiang's mother felt that this was too much, and hurriedly said: "A pair of chopsticks is to eat, and two pairs are also to eat, how much can the prince spend on eating?" Concubine Side, don't say such things. ”
Xiao Duo put a pair of chopsticks and silver shoots into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and then said: "It's okay, in the future, the food silver of Nuan Xiangwu will be paid from my account." Pointing to the smirkling fellow, "That's all right?" ”
Feng Luan smiled coquettishly, "It's so-so." ”
Of course, he is not short of that bit of silver, but he wants to let the account office send food money here every month, so that everyone in the whole house knows that Nuan Xiangwu's position is stable and not easy to mess with. This is also a means to deter people, the so-called holding chicken feathers as an arrow, plucking chicken feathers on Xiao Duo's body without anything to do, and brushing his prestige for himself.
Just as he was about to start the banquet, Gao Jinzhong slipped in from outside.
Jiang's mother was very eye-catching, and when she saw that he had something important to do, she didn't rush to serve the food first, but beckoned to the girls and retreated first.
"The prince, the side concubine." Gao Jinzhong learned to be obedient this time, and held Fengluan together and replied, "The little girl who followed the girl just came back, saying that the girl went to the Jingshui Nunnery, first went to the incense to worship the Buddha, and then went to the back to find the host of the old nun, and there is nothing else." ”
"Burn incense and worship Buddha?" Xiao Duo frowned, the ladies just like these gods and gods, that's it, don't make trouble like Mrs. Mu did last time. Although he was displeased, there was no rule that people were not allowed to burn incense and worship the Buddha, so he waved his hand, "Zhilu said." ”
"Let's serve." Feng Luan shouted, then lowered his head and plucked his tea.
Concubine Jiang is planning to burn incense and worship the Buddha for transshipment? I am a little worried, but there is no evidence, and it is not easy to say that I guess that people have evil intentions, so let people inquire slowly.
As a result, after inquiring and inquiring, Concubine Jiang's girl was still only incense, and there was no movement.
More than half a month has passed, and the Duanwang Mansion is still calm.
This morning, Feng Luan went to Weirui Hall to ask for peace, and suddenly found that Concubine Jiang was actually here! If you think about it, by the way, she's been grounded for three months, and it's time to come out today.
He looked at her with a slight smile, "Morning." ”
Concubine Jiang was wearing a light apricot-colored half-sleeved shirt, a cardigan with white silver thread inside, and an apricot-colored bandeau of the same line, and a mopping cigarette cage with a fine flower skirt below. Her hair was tied into a fallen bun, loose and loose, and then decorated with pink crystal hairpins and beaded flowers, lining her like a cluster of soft and delicate apricot blossoms.
In particular, a pair of eyes are as bright as if they have been washed with water.
Feng Luan felt strange in his heart.
It stands to reason that after being grounded for three months, anyone will be a little discouraged, right? Why do you feel that Concubine Jiang is not only not defeated, but exudes a fresh and energetic energy? It's strange ...... Xiao Duo hasn't shown favor to her recently.
She has fallen out of favor for a long time, and her future is uncertain, aren't you worried? Who gave her confidence and vitality.
"Concubine Feng is early." Concubine Jiang greeted her back, with a hint of calmness in her tone.
Feng Luan smiled silently, not making a sound.
Mrs. Wei came the latest today, and as soon as she entered the door, she said apologetically: "I just got up early and was about to go out, and I knocked over my clothes after drinking tea, and I changed my clothes again, so I was late." ”
When she passed by with a gust of wind, Feng Luan clearly smelled a faint smell of milk on her.
I couldn't help smiling, thinking that it was probably Brother Nian who spit up. Mrs. Wei didn't talk about her son, she only said that she had knocked over the tea, and she deliberately didn't want Brother Nian to be eye-catching, but she was smart.
Princess Duan cleared her throat, "Everyone is here today." Turning his head and instructing the girl, "It's time to pick new materials for summer and cut clothes, go and move the materials over, and let everyone pick their favorite ones to go back." ”
Speaking of which, Concubine Jiang was grounded for three months on the surface.
At the moment, if Xiao Duo didn't speak, for no reason, no one would restrain her from coming out, but when they saw each other suddenly after three months, everyone was a little awkward and uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Concubine Jiang is very gentle and humble today, she did not fight with others, and she did not deliberately find fault like before.
When picking the materials, she also said very politely: "Concubine Feng, you pick first." ”
Feng Luan smiled, "Okay." ”
Concubine Jiang retreated to the side, Mrs. Miao's reaction was a little stunned and slow today, and she didn't have time to avoid it, but she just stepped on it, "Ouch", and two exclamations sounded at the same time! Both of them seemed to be startled, and they both blocked the front with their hands in horror, and then separated, both with nervous expressions.
"What's wrong?" Princess Duan looked over, "It's all wrong, right?" ”
"It's fine." Mrs. Miao smiled first: "It was I who reacted slowly and accidentally blocked Concubine Jiang's way, but scared her." It seems that when she was afraid that Concubine Jiang would be angry, she just took the mistake on herself, and made amends again and again, "Don't blame Concubine Jiang, I didn't scare you just now, right?" It's all concubines who are not in good health. ”
Concubine Jiang frowned, unexpectedly, she didn't have an angry attack, "Forget it." ”
She furrowed her eyebrows, pursed her lips and stood aside.
Next, the atmosphere was a little stiff, and everyone went back after dividing the materials.
Back at Nuanxiangwu, Baozhu hurriedly rubbed his arm and sighed, "Mom! Concubine Jiang, this can't be the wrong medicine, right? Or is it really honest? But she was suddenly so gentle and gentle, as if she had changed someone inside, I always felt hairy in my heart when I looked at it. ”
The corners of Feng Luan's mouth curled slightly, "She's a little rare today." ”
Not only is her demeanor rare, but what is even rarer is ......, when she and Mrs. Miao acted in unison-
Both of them chose to protect their stomachs.
If it weren't for the fact that he knew that Mrs. Dao Miao might be pregnant, I was afraid that I wouldn't have noticed this. But assuming that Mrs. Miao is really pregnant, and she protects her belly out of instinct, then ......, is Concubine Jiang also pregnant? ! Think of her recent use of the girl to go out of the incense, is it in exchange for the wish of the child? Or do you put incense on it and pray for her to become a man in one fell swoop? The more I thought about it, the more I felt that she was really pregnant.
Feng Luan rubbed his forehead, this is not pleasant good news.
Even if she just gave birth to a daughter, having a child, and not having a child, it must be very different in Xiao Duo's heart.
If she really got pregnant and gave birth to a son smoothly, wouldn't it be even worse? Seriously, he is not too sure of Xiao Duo,—— even if he loves himself, it doesn't mean that he won't give some of his favor to others.
If Concubine Jiang gives birth to a son, she will return to favor?! Even if Xiao Duo is not favored, Princess Duan will be "favored", and Concubine Jiang Gong in the palace is even more "favored", so she will have a headache.
And more than this, there is a faint worry out of instinct,...... I'm afraid that something will happen again.
At night, Xiao Duo came over, and Feng Luan took off the hairpin ring. bed, casually talking about the suspicions of the day today, "You say, they won't both have good news, right?" If it's true, then congratulations to the prince. ”
"What's the good news?" Xiao Duo didn't care, "If the Jiang family and the Miao family are pregnant, do they still have to hide it and not say it?" "Just when she was jealous, pinched her nose," the little vinegar jar. ”
"I think it's possible ......"
"Nonsense." Xiao Duo said with a smile: "How long has the Jiang family been grounded?" Three whole months! After all, I still looked for her last year, and I didn't even touch her hand in the middle, how could she get pregnant? ”
Feng Luan pursed her lips, "What if you were conceived a year ago?" ”
"Vinegar jar, vinegar urn!" Xiao Duo turned over with a smile and pressed her under himself, "Don't talk about others, you hurry up and give birth to another one for this king, whether it's a man or a woman, I like it all." Leaned over and kissed her, and bit her ear again, "I'm almost yours now, and you're still jealous?" Really, I have no conscience......"
"No, I'm tired."
"I'm not tired." Xiao Duo carried out that thing in an orderly manner, his movements were skillful, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was ambiguous, "I knew that you were lazy, just lie down and don't move and wait to enjoy." ”
"What enjoyment?" Feng Luan blushed, and soon ......, and then she couldn't speak.
******
The next morning, Feng Luan went to ask for peace, but Concubine Jiang didn't come, so she sent someone over to take leave, "Concubine Fang went back yesterday and stumbled at the gate of the courtyard, and her foot was swollen, and she really couldn't walk on the ground." I sent a slave and maid over, wanting to ask the princess for a few days off. ”
Feng Luan laughed in his heart.
Who would expect her to come out and hang out? If she doesn't come, I'm afraid that a room full of ladies will be happy.
However, Princess Duan's eyes seemed to flash a trace of loss, but she quickly covered it up, "If you can't walk, just rest, hurry up and ask a doctor to take a look." ”
"It doesn't matter." The girl hurriedly said: "Mother Jiang took safflower oil and rubbed it for the side concubine, it's a lot better." ”
Feng Luan was already suspicious of Concubine Jiang, but when she looked at the girl nervously, she obviously looked unwilling to swagger and ask for a doctor, and couldn't help but be even more confused. Is Concubine Jiang really pregnant? If so, why are they being kept secret? Afraid that people will know that it will hurt her stomach? But she can't keep it a secret, and suddenly a child pops up.
With doubts, please finish and go back to the warm incense dock.
But Feng Luan was suspicious, and there was no evidence,—— so he couldn't tell Xiao Duo that I knew that Mrs. Miao was about to get pregnant at this time in her previous life, so she was frightened and protected her belly, so I speculated that Concubine Jiang might also be pregnant.
Xiao Duo looked at her sullenly in the past few days, but she was just a woman with a delicate mind, and she loved to think about something, and she was stuffy in the house all day long. So he smiled: "Don't worry, I'm busy these days, and when I'm done in two days, I'll take you to Xiangzhou Courtyard when I find a day off." I see that the weather has been very good lately, and it is suitable for horseback riding, and even I have asked people to find deer and raise them first. ”
"Okay." Feng Luan was not very interested, and he was absent-mindedly perfunctory.
In the next few days, Concubine Jiang kept nesting in Biqing Hanyan House and did not go out.
Jiang's mother was a little worried, "This is not a way." "Browning tightly, "Even if the side concubine excuses her feet, it is only a delay of a few days, if she doesn't go to ask for peace for ten days and half a month, others must think that she is seriously ill." As the princess of the palace, it is impossible to ignore it, and she must send a doctor to come and see. ”
"I don't care, it's a few days if it can be delayed." Concubine Jiang's little face fell, and she complained: "If I wasn't worried that the time for the grounding was up, I wouldn't have gone yesterday if I didn't go out. But Miao's broom star almost scared me to fall! "Gritted his teeth," waited, and then slowly settled accounts with her when I turned around! ”
Mother Jiang said again: "We donated the sesame oil, and the silver was spent, but it's just ......" She hesitated in her tone, "Do you really want to eat those pills given by Mrs. Jingshui?" I'm worried about ......"
"Mom!" Concubine Jiang hurriedly interrupted her, "Don't say bad words!" ”
Mother Jiang quickly pursed her lips.
Concubine Jiang was also hesitant for a while.
But Wei's got a man in one fell swoop, and the method was to quietly ask the little girl to inquire, and after verification, Wei's did often donate sesame oil money to the still water master, which shows that the news is true. Besides, no one knows about her pregnancy, Wei doesn't know, and she hasn't been out recently, so naturally she won't have any hookup with Mrs. Jingshui.
If you think about it, there should be no problem with the pill matter.
But ......, I'm still a little worried.
Concubine Jiang was entangled several times in her heart, but if she didn't take the pills of Mrs. Jingshui, how could she guarantee a man in one fell swoop? After thinking for a long time, he raised his head and said, "Mom, you ask someone to go back to my mother to discuss." First let my mother go to Aunt Hu in my brother's house to ask for some male fetal medicine, let her take it, and see how it works. ”
Mother Jiang comprehended, nodded and said, "Okay, this method is good." ”
******
"Early this morning, Jiang's mother went out and asked people to follow, and she took a carriage all the way to Jiang's house." Baozhu replied to inquire about the news, "As for what to do when I go back to Jiang's house, I don't know what to do." ”
"Hmm." Feng Luan pondered, should you tell Xiao Duo not to let the people of Biqing's Smoke Pavilion go in and out? But for no reason, I couldn't find a reason to attack her, and I couldn't make it seem like I was targeting her everywhere.
"Side concubine! Side concubine. The tortoiseshell hurriedly came in from outside, and her expression changed greatly, "Princess Su......, it's gone." Swallowed his saliva, "I heard that King Su's Mansion has made a lot of trouble, because, because Princess Su is a ......, she drank the decoction served by Concubine Guo, so she vomited blood and died." ”
Feng Luan's eyes lit up suddenly, and then he paused slightly, "Zhilu said." ”——
was willing to cut his whole body and dared to pull the emperor off the horse.
Princess Su is really ruthless enough for her son! Now that Concubine Guo has become the one who murdered the princess, and the Fan family will definitely not give up, it is impossible to be a stepconcubine no matter what. Concubine Guo was deposed and executed, and her three sons lost their mother's leadership, which must have been a mess.
In this way, the status of the eldest son of the royal palace was secured.
But Zhenniang is still pregnant, she has not given birth to a child, she is afraid that it will be difficult to invite a step-concubine without merit, not to mention that she is busy with Concubine Guo's affairs at the moment, Zhenniang is ......, let's take care of the baby.
Xiao Duo came back at noon, his face was gloomy, and a faint cyan mist was shrouded between his eyebrows.
The two of them finished eating silently, no one said much, and Xiao Duo went out again in the afternoon. He is the prince, and his brother has just died of his wife, so he naturally wants to listen to his brother's annoyance and help with the funeral. Feng Luan nested in the warm incense dock to do needlework, and his heart was in a trance, and he accidentally poked a bead of blood on his finger.
"Ouch." Hongying handed the thread next to her, hurriedly put down the thread, and went to fetch water for her to clean.
"It doesn't matter." Feng Luan shook his head, wiped the water droplets and pressed them, "It'll be fine in a while." A little upset, he waved his hand, "You all go down, I want to be alone and quiet." ”
Inside and outside the palace, there are undercurrents surging and murderous machines lurking.
Groggily slumbered for a while.
In the afternoon, I had nothing to do, and I went to the back to play with the dragon and phoenix fetus for a while, but I couldn't arouse my interest.
It was dark, Xiao Duo came back from outside again, not in a hurry to eat, but first took a hot bath and changed clothes. He came out with his hair wet, Feng Luan stepped forward to rub his hair with his own hands, kneading it carefully, kneading it gently, changing two or three dry cotton towels, and rubbing his hands so hard that he was sore.
"Alright, stop rubbing." Xiao Duo casually parted his hair with a long hairpin, then grabbed his bare hand on his shoulder, and turned his head to look at her, "Look at your dejected appearance, it's all my fault, I shouldn't let you ......" pulled her into his arms and sat down, caressed her cheek lovingly, and kissed her, "Jiaojiao, don't think about it, okay?" ”
Blame herself, she shouldn't have been asked to deliver a message to Princess Su.
This kind of pickled matter should not have anything to do with Ah Luan in the first place. The future of Duanwangfu should be earned by a big man herself, and she and the children should hide behind themselves and enjoy the happiness, instead of working hard. Seeing that she was like a fish out of water at this moment, she felt distressed, "Don't think about it, this matter has nothing to do with you." ”
"Hmm." Feng Luan said blankly: "When a person dies, there is nothing." ”
Xiao Duo saw that she was in a trance, afraid of any more demons, so he didn't dare to be negligent at all, his eyes were good and he kept staring at her without saying anything, and he also persuaded her in various ways. After the last talk, her mouth was dry, and she thought that it would be better to find something to interrupt her train of thought, so she changed her tricks and made trouble for her in the middle of the night.
When she was very tired, she reached out and gently rubbed the acupuncture points on her neck, and pressed her inner strength while she was relaxed, and finally let her fall asleep.
"Jiaojiao......" Xiao Duo gently flattened her, looked at the quiet and sweet plain porcelain face, and kissed her carefully, "Be obedient, sleep well and there will be nothing to do." ”
At dawn the next day, the people with heads and faces in Duanwangfu changed into plain clothes and went to Suwangfu to pay tribute.
In the female dependents, Princess Duan, Concubine Jiang, Feng Luan, and the two small county lords of the palace all passed away. In front of his wife and daughter, Xiao Duo didn't care too much about Feng Luan, and only told the princess when they were separated, "There are a lot of people today, don't go around in private, and wait for me to go back to the house after hanging the sacrifice according to the rules." ”
When Princess Duan saw him say this to herself, her eyes swept to her cousin from time to time, how could she not understand in her heart? But today, in addition to being uncomfortable, I don't even have the heart to be jealous. It seems that her husband is no longer her husband, but a person who is used to ensure that he will be prosperous and wealthy in the rest of his life, and who will ensure that his children will have a prosperous future.
She behaved gently and generously, "Okay, don't worry, the prince." ”
Xiao Duo didn't say anything more, and led the people to the outside of King Su's mansion.
Feng Luan had slept peacefully yesterday, and now he had recovered his spirits, followed behind Princess Duan, silently, and when he arrived at the mourning hall and wanted to worship Princess Su, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
When people die and the lights go out, is it really worth fighting so desperately?
