Chapter 45: I see pity

If it weren't for Mother Li's birthday just around the corner, Mother Cui really didn't want to let go of the who was secretly raised so easily, but the princess had already agreed, and she had to push the boat down the river and say: "I don't have any other ideas, it's just that people are old, they always like children, they like to be lively, and the horse master wants to keep that, so wait for her to give birth to a child and send it to our princess's mansion to raise, this princess's mansion has no child, it's always lonely, weird and lonely, princess, don't you say?" ”

The princess was clicked by someone, suddenly realized, and said: "Yes, Master Horse, if that slave and maid are very good at giving birth, I want the first child, whether it is a boy or a girl, and then I can make up for what is lacking in the future, I only need a son and a daughter." ”

Li Mingshuo hesitated a little and muttered: "The princess is in her prime, how do you know that she won't have her own children?" ”

Cui's mother said: "Master Concubine, the princess has been married to you for many years, and has never given birth to a son and a half daughter, maybe take the child of the cheap maid to raise, and raise it to be able to conceive yourself, when the old man was in the people, he saw a lot of this situation, all of them have been married for many years without giving birth, and raising someone else's child, and he has it in a few years, you say this is not strange?" ”

Li Mingshuo was still hesitating, Cui's mother was impatient, and said to the princess: "Princess, look at you, you can accommodate a cheap maid by his side, he is reluctant to even give you a child, you must know that you are the child's mother-in-law." ”

The princess was also a little disappointed by the hesitation of the concubine, and complained: "I am a princess, and I raise the child born to you and the slave maid with my own hands, and I have missed the future of this child." ”

Li Mingshuo gritted his teeth, his heart was horizontal, and he recognized: "Where the princess says, no matter how many she has children, the children's mother-in-law is you, she is the daughter of a poor family, and the children born can be raised by the princess herself, that is her great creation, where is there anything to be reluctant to give up, I have the final say with the princess in this matter, no need to ask others." ”

When the princess heard this, she was full of joy, and hurriedly arranged for her subordinates to prepare a meal, and at noon she wanted to leave the horse master to eat here, Li Mingshuo shirked the matter of going back to the house to help his younger brothers and sisters prepare the birthday banquet, and refused to stay, and the princess did not force him to stay, so let him go.

After Li Mingshuo left, the princess began to look forward to the sound of a baby crying in the princess's mansion in a few months, and she was very happy. ”

The princess didn't want to think too much, and said, "As long as this child belongs to my husband, I don't care if the rest is true or false." ”

"Princess, you are really good at being bullied, according to the meaning of the old body, since the concubine wants us to admit that the cheap maid we chose for him, then we must take a look at the cheap maid and say a few words, in case on the birthday of Mrs. Li, we see the cheap maid, she is stupid, and she looks like she doesn't recognize us at all, wouldn't it be a shame for the princess."

"That being said, but now that she's sick in bed, how can we be strong."

"Princess, she can't come, we won't go yet, let's be her uninvited guest, see that she is caught off guard, and find out the truth. The princess has been bored in the house for a long time, and there is nothing new happening here for us, so why not take this opportunity to go out and have a walk and relieve the princess's boredom. ”

The princess made Cui's mother feel impressed, so she arranged for her to be fully responsible for this trip.

Li Mingshuo returned to the house in Luohua Lane and thought to himself, although the princess was generous and didn't care too much about him, but this Cui's mother remembered that as soon as she came out, she was afraid that this old witch would change temporarily, which would catch him off guard, so she still told Dong'er the plan as soon as possible, so as not to have a discrepancy between each other's statements.

On the second day, Hanhua was serving the master to change the medicine and bandages on the wound, Dong'er was reading on the kang, and Mo Ge ran in in a panic and told him: "Master, it's not good, the witch is here." ”

Li Mingshuo knew that what he was worried about had happened after all, so he hurriedly walked to Dong'er's side, attached it to her ear, and advised: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." While muttering, "It's good that I came when I'm at home, otherwise how would you have could?"

He helped Dong'er get out of bed, knelt in front of the bed, and waited for the princess to enter the door.

Yu'er and Cui's mother hugged the princess into the room, and Xueying and Songzhu, who were originally guarding outside, also followed, and when they saw Hanhua and Dong'er kneeling, they quickly knelt down as well. Mego hurriedly brought a chair for the princess and asked her to sit down.

The princess sat down, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I haven't been out for a few days, but today I came out to breathe, and I also came by the way to see the house that the master had earned." Oh, it's quite full of people here, who are these three girls? ”

Li Mingshuo introduced the names of the three girls respectively, and Cui's mother heard their names and jokingly said: "Master Ma was born in June, why is he entangled with these winter plums and cold flowers and Xueying." I don't have to think that you were born in the moon. ”

Li Mingshuo ignored Cui's mother's banter, just touched Dong'er's arm and motioned for her to say hello to the princess.

Dong'er kowtowed to Princess Ning'an in an orderly manner, lowered her head and said softly: "The people's daughter Wan Dong'er has seen Princess Ning'an. ”

"Raise your head and let me see." The princess said softly.

Wan Dong'er raised her head and saw Princess Ning'an, the eldest princess born to the emperor's favorite concubine Cao Duan, only to see that this princess had a white complexion, plump skin, a face like a silver basin, gentle and dignified, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were slightly full of glory and wealth, and her whole body was royal grace and elegance.

Wan Dong'er heard Mo Ge say that Princess Ning'an is a princess with a very indifferent heart, Li Mingshuo and her don't often move around because the princess's nurse Cui's mother is blocked from it, Princess Ning'an often doesn't care about Cui's mother in order to settle things, Dong'er often listens to Li Mingshuo's words, but she believes in Mo Ge's words.

The princess looked at Dong'er's face, and saw that she was beautiful and handsome, like the goddess of the heavenly concubine she saw in a dream, she was taken aback, and blamed Li Mingshuo and said: "Master Horse, you really deceive me, where is this girl mediocre, it is clear that she is outstanding in appearance, I still think about what an inconspicuous girl, when I saw it today, I was shocked, it was not that the horse master had already fallen in love with her, and pretended to say that she wanted to reward Mo Ge, but after all, she was in her pocket." ”

Li Mingshuo hurriedly explained: "The princess made fun of it, as the saying goes, people rely on clothes, Buddha relies on gold, this girl didn't have a few good clothes with her when she first came to me, and recently said that her waist is getting thicker, and the old clothes are thin, so she made a few new clothes, which can enter the princess's eyes." But a man depends on his clothes and a horse on a saddle. ”

The princess ignored the horse master's words, and just asked Dong'er, "Where is your home?" But there are still parents and family? ”

Back to the princess's words, Dong'er is the daughter of a family in the countryside south of the city, her mother died in the early years, and her father went south with people to sell her life, I lived with my uncle, and then my uncle and aunt were gone, and the neighbor was in charge, and sold me to a solid family as a slave, and I was homeless from then on. Dong'er said with a calm face and unhurriedly.

"What a miserable man." The princess lamented.

Li Mingshuo and Li Moge were secretly surprised, they had always thought that Dong'er would not be able to play well in these improvised nonsense, and waited for her to make up for the leaks with fear, but they didn't expect her to play a thousand times better than they imagined.

Li Mingshuo was pleasantly surprised, looked back, and secretly boasted: "Okay, you little girl, I really didn't expect you to be able to act like this, could it be that I have been immersed in my hands for a long time, and I have obtained the true biography of my mouth talking nonsense......."

Cui's mother sneered and snorted: "In this way, the girl climbed and attached the horse master, and the sparrow flew up to the branch to make a phoenix."

"Back to my mother's words, the princess is the real phoenix, the folk girl is just looking for a place to eat, even if the folk girl is not following the horse master, after all, she is going to find someone to find a bowl of rice to eat, if it wasn't for the neighbors who sold me to the rich and noble family as a maidservant, the folk girl is now a starvation corpse, a pile of bones."

Mo Ge brought a cup of tea, handed it to Dong'er, helped her to her feet, and motioned for the princess to send it over.

The princess took the cup of tea and said to Li Mingshuo: "Master Horse, didn't you say that this girl has never seen dignitaries, if I see her, she will definitely not deal with it?" I think she is quite down-and-out and generous, if I hadn't seen this girl with my own eyes, I would have underestimated her. ”

Li Mingshuo was silent, he never thought that Dong'er would cooperate with his performance so much today, it can be seen that the contradictions between her and him are internal contradictions, once the enemy comes in from the outside, Dong'er will firmly fight with him, thinking of this, he is quite pleased.

Mo Ge spoke: "Princess, our house here is low-lying, and it is cold in winter, do you want Hanhua Xueying to get you a hand warmer and foot warmer, the princess is here, if you catch a cold here, it is Mo Ge's inconsiderate work." ”

Princess Ning'an has always been cold and not resistant to freezing, and the fire in this room is far less warm than in her own room, sitting for a while, her hands and feet are indeed cold, so she got up and said: No need to get it, I came out today to walk, breathable, I saw Miss Wan today, and I will know it on my birthday tomorrow, Mother Cui, let's go back. ”

Cui's mother responded, so she carried the princess out, and Li Mingshuo habitually hugged Dong'er and pushed her out to send the princess out.

The princess suddenly couldn't leave, turned around to look at the two of them, Li Mingshuo was so frightened that he hurriedly took away Dong'er's hand, the princess smiled at Dong'er, and said: "You are pregnant, you don't need to come out, take care of it at home, what is missing, Moge told me, I will prepare it for you." ”

"Princess Xie." Dong'er gave a thank you gift.

Li Mingshuo sent the princess out of the door, and after turning back, he teased Dong'er: "Why is the lady so well-behaved today, is she going to see her in-laws tomorrow, and she is very happy?" ”

Dong'er was already lying in the easy chair basking in the sun, she looked up and swayed, without looking at Li Mingshuo, and said coldly: "I am the princess wife who sympathizes with you, how did such a good piece of mutton fat and beautiful jade fall into such a muddy pit like you." ”

Li Mingshuo was not angry at all, but bent down with a hippie smile, and teased with his mouth in Dong'er's ear: "It's really a pity that I put beautiful jade in this mud pit, but the lady is getting more and more used to it, I remember that the lady is not a pig." ”

Dong'er pushed him away and said, "Go away, block my sun." ”

Her tone was so disgusted and disrespectful, but the other party was never angry, and still joked: "It's worthy of two people, and the confidence to speak is more than before, and it is really a mother and a son." ”

"Li Mingshuo, if you make noise about me again, be careful that I won't let you get off the stage tomorrow."

Li Mingshuo pulled her up from the chair suddenly, pulled her into his arms, hooked her neck and put her ear to his mouth, word by word, and said slowly: "I warn you, your father is still eating in Taizhou Prison, you had better do things safely, don't think about making any big moves, and you will keep in mind what the princess says tomorrow, so as not to have a discrepancy with the princess's statement when explaining to others in the future, so that the princess will not look good." ”

Dong'er said expressionlessly: "I also warn you, when my mother was pregnant with her second child, she didn't know the severity of the weight and went to pull the reins of the horse, but the animal pulled her arm, and then ------ my brother was gone. ”

When Li Mingshuo heard this, he was so frightened that he pulled out the cold in his heart, he just pulled Dong'er's arm with force without any scruples and dragged her up from the easy chair. Hearing this, the hand around her waist and the hand around her neck slowly retracted their strength and relaxed.

Dong'er took the opportunity to break free, still sat back in the easy chair, bathed in the warm winter sun that came in through the window, shook gently, and said proudly: "Li Mingshuo, don't be too happy, it's hard to say whether this child can be raised or not, the key depends on your cultivation, hum." ”

Li Mingshuo looked at the young girl lying on her back in an easy chair, dangling around with her eyes closed, basking in the sun as if she was extremely comfortable, and couldn't help but sigh that there is a saying that is really good: the cooked duck ----- rotten meat in the pot, and the mouth is still hard. I really don't know where you got your superiority feeling.
