156:The Sin of the Guards (1)
Although Nalan Jinxiu was very tired, she still went to the second floor to take a look at the roses. It looks really good, and if you stick to it like this, you won't have to worry about being useless. Auspicious Ruyi is also very happy, and I have been thinking that I can pick some to make lipstick. Women seem to have a special passion for flowers, especially fiery roses, which are more likely to make them addicted. Before you know it, the sun is sinking. Nalan Jinxiu glanced at the sky outside the window, only to find that she had spent an afternoon in this flower room.
At dinner time, Shen Congli's personal maid Cuizhu came over to deliver the meal. Nalan Jinxiu originally thought that she would definitely have dinner at Lanyue Pavilion today, after all, Shen Congqian was just her titular stepmother, and their family hadn't seen each other for a long time, so there must be this family banquet today.
Nalan Jinxiu sent Cuizhu back first, and then asked Jixiang and Ruyi: "During the time when my brother and I were away, what happened in the house?"
"It's the new lady's pregnancy!"
"What about Daddy when he comes back, and you still get along with Shen Congqi?"
"It should be good!"
"Has Daddy been living in Cangwu Rumor?"
"Hmm. "Ji Xiang Ruyi doesn't know what the master means, Cangwu Ballad was originally the residence of the prince, is there anything wrong with him staying there?
Nalan Jinxiu didn't know why she felt that this thing was a little strange. How did Shen Congqian convince his father? Even if his father agreed to play with her and was willing to spare her life, he would not be able to do it to this extent.
She always knew that Shen Congqian was a very scheming and skillful person, but she didn't know that she was so good at winning people's hearts. Daddy is a battle-hardened person, and there is an informal part of his temperament. But if she didn't really feel sorry for Shen Congqi, she wouldn't have done this for her.
The only thing Nalan Jinxiu is worried about now is that his father is defenseless against Shen Congqian, and no one knows what Shen Congqian is thinking in his heart. She now looks harmless to the Zhenbei Palace, but the fact that she is from Jinling and has been given marriage by the Holy Lord is enough to make the Zhenbei Palace's wariness of her.
Ji Xiang Ru thought that the master had been in a daze, and he didn't know what she was thinking. It's getting late, and if you don't go to Cangwu, you'll miss the time for dinner. It's okay for the prince and the prince to say, after all, they really feel sorry for the master, and it's okay to wait a while, but it's not easy to say about the new lady.
"Lord, it's time to go over for dinner. "Auspicious exit reminder.
Nalan Jinxiu realized that he was actually thinking about it. She pulled herself downstairs from auspiciousness and ruyi, and asked them to dress herself, but she had a very unstable feeling in her heart. Zhenbei Wang's father and son were extremely wise people, and she felt that she might be thinking too much, although she kept comforting herself, but it still had little effect.
Until the cangwu ballad, looking at the bright lights in the courtyard, there was a burst of warmth. It is indeed much more vibrant than when my father lived alone in this courtyard. Perhaps it was the experience of the previous life that left her with a psychological shadow, which made her extremely sensitive and wary of others. Suppressing the uneasiness in her heart and stepping into the Cangwu rumor, she felt that she should give Shen Congqian more trust.
The inside of Cangwu is particularly lively, although it is still the previous decoration, the tables, chairs and benches have not moved the slightest, but some vases, as well as some small decorations, make the room feel new. After all, the previous things are very old, and they are already very old, and they don't look as fresh as these.
Nalan Jinxiu remembered that Xu Jinsheng's biological mother was very fond of antiquities. After a long time, the color of things will become dull, and the king of Zhenbei is a careless one, who never bothered to decorate the house, but now it is really a new look.
Nalan Jinxiu suddenly felt uncomfortable in her heart. In the memory that belongs to Xu Jinsheng, the ballad who is always soft-spoken was once the treasure of the king of Zhenbei. Her residence has now become a different appearance, if Ah Yu has a spirit in the sky, she will probably be sad in her heart!
"Sheng'er, you're here, come here, I'll be waiting for you. Shen Congqian greeted her warmly, and came over to pull her into the table, as if she was already a master.
Nalan Jinxiu sat next to her with a smile, there were only four people sitting on a desk, she and Shen Congqian on the one hand, Zhenbei Wang and Xu Jince on the other. As soon as she sat down, King Zhenbei gave her a fisheye, and said softly: "Fisheye can be bright, you liked to eat it most when you were a child." ”
Nalan Jinxiu picked up the fish's eyes and ate them obediently. When she was young, A-Niang also liked to give her fish eyes to eat, saying that after eating it, her eyes would grow big and bright. In this world, parents love their children in different ways.
Xu Jince also smiled: "I remember the first time she ate fish eyes, she was so scared that she cried, and her mother persuaded her for a long time, but she refused to eat anything." ”
"yes, I coaxed her to eat in the end. King Zhenbei seemed to remember a very pleasant memory, and smiled very gently.
"As a result, after eating it for the first time, I fell in love with fish eyes, and every time I ate fish, I had to eat fish eyes first. Nalan Jinxiu added with a smile.
"Yes, your mother is right, eating fish eyes can really brighten your eyes, and you can see how bright your sister's eyes are now. ”
Shen Congqian saw that the three of them were happy, so he didn't join, but only added soup to them virtuously. Because it was a family banquet, after the dishes were all served, no one was left to serve. The people were all on guard outside, and they would come in when they were summoned.
"You're a man with body, eat more, and leave us alone. "The king of Zhenbei said to Shen Congqi.
Xu Jince's expression was very calm, and he didn't seem surprised that Shen Congqian was pregnant. Nalan Jinxiu was still muttering in her heart, not knowing if her brother knew the truth or didn't care at all. Whatever the reason, his current performance is too abnormal.
It stands to reason that if the stepwife of Zhenbei Wangfu is pregnant, his sister-in-law will become the eldest son, the difference of one word, but the meaning is completely different. In the past, he was the only heir of the Zhenbei Palace, although even if Shen Congqi gave birth to a boy, it was impossible to fight with him.
But there are accidents in everything, and others don't know that Shen Congli, this kid, is not the blood of the king of Zhenbei, and how many meetings are discussed. Even if he didn't mind, there was always something to pay attention to, even if it was nominally, it was his younger sibling. Such an indifferent reaction is really a bit beyond common sense.
Shen Congqian smiled softly, obviously not much older than Xu Jinsheng, but she looked much softer and more decent, this should be a typical lady. Although Nalan Jinxiu has been a human being for two lifetimes and is from a noble background, she still hasn't learned how to be a famous girl.
"I haven't shown my pregnancy yet, my body is not heavy at all, why is it so special? Seeing your family reunited, I am also happy for you in my heart. I came here alone from Jinling, but fortunately I met you, otherwise I probably wouldn't have survived. Shen Congqian had a smile on his face, and what he said was sincere and pitiful.
As a woman, Nalan Jinxiu felt a touch of pity in her heart, not to mention the father and son of the king of Zhenbei, the iron-blooded man who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and the only thing that could make them bend their waists was that in addition to thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, there was only a prosperous face. Shen Congqian can't afford the word Shengshi, but it's okay to say that she is Chu Chu and cute.
Sure enough, Xu Jince didn't speak because of his identity, but the king of Zhenbei said: "Now that you have entered the palace, you are a family with us, so you don't have to see each other so much." ”
Nalan Jinxiu was speechless, look! She knew that this trick would definitely be useful for King Zhenbei. If you want to say that the smartest woman is the smartest, she must use her own advantages, identity, appearance, experience, and emotion...... And Shen Congqian is definitely the best among them.
Although Nalan Jinxiu also took pity on her situation, otherwise it would be impossible to help her. But with such a person by her side, she always feels in danger, and it is impossible not to be on guard. Fortunately, the father and son of Zhenbei Wang are very fond of Xu Jinsheng, and Nalan Jinxiu naturally has nothing to fear. No matter how powerful Shen Congqian is, he can't calculate her head.
She thinks so, but she doesn't know that the crisis that belongs to her will come soon.
Shen Congqian was originally an outsider, not only did he not get the heart of the king of Zhenbei, but he also lost his qualification to be a princess because he was pregnant. Although the beginning was unfavorable, she found out the Zhenbei Wang family, and she was clear about their preferences, and successfully found a way to clamp them. It is not a good thing for people to be too kind-hearted sometimes, and it is precisely because of this that Shen Congqian forced Nalan Jinxiu to have no way out.
That was a month later.
Mu Li built a swing for Nalan Jinxiu in the Star Picking Tower, and when she stood on it, she could see the scenery in the distance. She likes it so much that she plays on the swing almost every day.
The weather was excellent on this day, and even the wind was gentle and gentle. Jixiang takes care of the roses on the second floor, and Ruyi is a bold one who pushes the swing very high. Usually auspicious always talks about paying attention to safety, but at this time, Nalan Jinxiu is also having fun, and he still dislikes Ruyi not pushing high enough.
"County master, the slave and maid really don't have the strength, let's play again in a while. ”
Nalan Jinxiu was about to get off the swing when she was jumped into a generous embrace. She was stunned, and when she came back to her senses, she found that it was Mu Li who ripped her off the swing. He put one hand under her armpit and the other on the crook of her knee, hugging her across his chest.
"Mu Li, what are you doing? Put me down. Nalan Jinxiu thought that he was disgusted that he had swung the swing too high, and he was afraid that she would fall down, so he came to stop him. Although it is excusable, he is too intimate to hold her like this, and he is out of line.
Mu Li didn't seem to hear her speak, his eyes were fixed on her face, and the arms holding her tightened tighter. Nalan Jinxiu realized his abnormality, looked up at him, and found that his eyes were blood-red, which was very terrifying......
