Chapter 565: Kneeling and Saluting
Fang Jinyan said: "I just don't want to let Qiao Cheng be in the Fang family like this, and Qiao Cheng doesn't know who the father of this belly child is so far." ”
Leng Yi smiled: "This is not necessarily. ”
Fang Jinyan was puzzled, Leng Yi smiled and said, "You are still young, you don't understand, you will know when you get married in the future." ”
Fang Jinyan was embarrassed and said, "Then why doesn't Shen Mingyu admit that the child in Qing'er's belly is his?" Could it be that he was just worried that Fang Bingde would be angry when he found out? ”
Zhao Huaishan said: "I'm afraid that the child in Qing'er's belly is not Shen Mingyu's." ”
Leng Yi nodded and said, "Exactly, Huaishan and I coincide again." ”
Fang Jinyan thought about it, suddenly patted his head, and said, "Haha, I know too." ”
The three of them laughed in unison.
Ciming Temple.
Lu Yuening accompanied the Empress Dowager while talking and embroidering things.
"Yuening, I heard from the little road next to the emperor that recently, the emperor has been playing chess with you every day except for the court?"
Lu Yuening was slightly stunned, then stood up, lowered her head and said softly: "The granddaughter-in-law is not filial, and the emperor should not be allowed to waste the court affairs all day long, the granddaughter-in-law is ......."
The Empress Dowager smiled lovingly and said, "Sit down quickly, it's too late for the mourning family to be happy, you two are good, the mourning family is also relieved to look at it, isn't it?" ”
Lu Yuening nodded obediently, sat down again, took the embroidery plate in his hand and continued to bury his head in threading the needle, and a trace of bitterness flashed at the corner of his mouth.
In the evening, the emperor still went to Lu Yuening's palace to have dinner with her.
"Your Majesty. The concubine had a reluctant request, hoping that the emperor would agree. Lu Yuening said softly while carefully serving vegetables to the emperor.
The emperor smiled and said, "Just let the girl around you wait." We are together every day, where is there such a life and politeness, let's say, anything, as long as I can do it, I will not let you down. ”
Lu Yuening looked at the girl beside her, and everyone retreated.
The emperor saw Lu Yuening's serious face. Seeing that all the people around him had retreated, he said with a smile: "Yue Ning, why is this so serious?" ”
I saw Lu Yuening stand up. Walked to the emperor and knelt down, put his hands on the ground, and said in a solemn voice: "Your Majesty, Yue Ning and the emperor have been married for more than half a year. But you've never stayed overnight here. Yue Ning risked his life and begged you to stay tonight, otherwise, Yue Ning would definitely see the Lu family again without face, it would be better to hit his head and die......"
The emperor frowned, looking at Lu Yuening on the ground, for half a year, if it weren't for the smart and clever woman in front of him who had been helping him hide from the emperor's grandmother, where would he still have the opportunity to meet Fang Jinyan. And Fang Jinyan can also stay in the capital safely like this, he knows that the imperial grandmother is for himself. must be a person who does what he says, if she knows that she and Lu Yuening have been married for half a year, and they have not yet had a round house, then Fang Jinyan will be in danger, thinking of this, the emperor squatted down and helped Lu Yuening up personally.
"Fool, what do you say dead or alive, I'll stay tonight."
After hearing this, Lu Yuening was shy, gently leaned into the emperor's arms, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Yuening has waited so hard for this day, thank you." ”
The emperor said in his heart, Jinyan, I'm sorry, in order for you to continue to stay by my side, so that I can see you at any time, please forgive me, I have no choice.
On the third day after Qiao Ji returned to Fang's house, Qing'er committed suicide by hanging the beam, and when the news reached Fang Jinyan, it was already three days later, that is, on the first day of Fang Jinyan's birthday.
On this day, Leng Yi said that he had rushed back from the Jinming Temple in advance to celebrate Fang Jinyan's birthday, and Fang Jinyan took Yuzhu and Ziyuan to wait in the ten-mile long pavilion outside the city in advance, accompanied by Wang Zhimo.
It's already in the wax moon, the winter in the north seems to be a desperate housewife's face is gloomy every day, the north wind is howling, the snow will cover the whole earth tightly, you can't see the scenery a hundred meters away, it's white, there is only the wind in your ears, only white in front of you, everything feels quiet and stagnant.
Wang Zhimo had prepared a tent and heating things in advance, and he would never go against Fang Jinyan's intentions, even in such bad weather conditions, Fang Jinyan said that he would wait for his eldest brother outside the city, so the only thing Wang Zhimo could do was to prepare everything for her.
A few people roasted in the tent and ate the lamb leg that the guards had just roasted, and drank Fang Jinyan's own osmanthus wine, since she knew that the rose brew she drank a lot in the past was Bai Hong's liking, and it was brewed for her by Zhai Huaishan himself, she suddenly began to reject this wine from her heart, and she didn't even like the taste of roses.
"Xiao Yan, tomorrow is your birthday, have you thought about how to spend it?" Wang Zhimo carefully shaved a piece of meat from the lamb bone and dipped it in honey first, and then put it on Fang Jinyan's plate, breaking it into two, so that Fang Jinyan didn't have to cut it anymore, and could eat it directly in his mouth.
Fang Jinyan reclined on the soft couch, looking at Wang Zhimo opposite him, today he was wearing a crescent-colored brocade robe with fur edges, and the clothes were embroidered with gorgeous patterns in green silk, the texture of the clothes was very good at a glance, and then looked at the person wearing this clothes, he was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a square jaw, clear eyes, sword eyebrows flying obliquely, looking very handsome, the whole person gave people the feeling of being lofty, full of extravagance.
But it is such a person, in front of him, but he is so willing to let himself let go of all his figures, as if he is more humble than the slaves around him, thinking of this, Fang Jinyan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said to himself, be kind to him, no one in this world will take it for granted to himself, what the other party has paid, he should know how to reciprocate while accepting, although it is not necessarily the same, but he can't turn a deaf ear and don't know how to be grateful.
"Yuan Xiu, seriously, I don't want to pass it, such a cold weather, and the Empress Dowager's recent health is not very good, Sister Bai Hong runs to the palace all day long, although the Empress Dowager did not summon my Yi Decree, but I can't set up a banquet outside the palace, it's really inappropriate." Fang Jinyan said and picked up a piece of meat and put it on Wang Zhimo's mouth.
Wang Zhimo paused, her heart was ecstatic, but there was no expression on the surface, as if this was a common thing, she opened her mouth and ate the meat, and she didn't look at Fang Jinyan, and said lightly while chewing: "What you said is the same, but this is your first birthday in the capital, yesterday I told my eldest brother and Li Changzai, or I will give you a simple time together with a few good things in Lord Leng's house, you see?" ”
Before Fang Jinyan could speak, he heard someone outside the door say, "Master, someone from Lengfu has come, saying that there is something urgent to find Miss Fang." ”
Wang Zhimo frowned slightly, he knew that in such weather, if there was no important matter, he would not be in a hurry to go out of the city to tell Fang Jinyan, but the cold mansion usually sent people to find Fang Jinyan, but it must be the matter of the Fang family, thinking of this, Wang Zhimo didn't wait for Fang Jinyan to speak, stood up by himself, looked at Fang Jinyan, and motioned for himself to go out and have a look first.
Walking outside the door, only then did he feel the chill outside, Wang Zhimo couldn't help but shrink his neck, and the maid behind him hurriedly held an umbrella over, and the man saw that Wang Zhimo came out, so he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to salute.
"Li Ji, the housekeeper of the Fang family, greets the master."
Wang Zhimo raised his hand, and the man stepped forward and whispered, "Master, someone from the Fang family said that their seventh aunt was hanging from the beam." ”
Wang Zhimo thought that it was really the Fang family's business, and it was also the girl Fang Jinyan used to be by her side, but the next day was Fang Jinyan's birthday, and such a thing was found to be really an unfortunate thing now.
"Gone?" Wang Zhimo asked with a gloomy face.
"I heard that it was rescued at that time, and the person was fine, but Aunt Seven didn't eat or drink, and our master had no idea, so he thought that Aunt Seven only listened to Miss Fourth in the past, so she let the slave come and talk back."
Wang Zhimo glanced at the man, with a coldness in his eyes, as if it was a hundred times colder than the cold winter moon, the man quickly knelt down and said, "Don't worry, the slave will never dare to tell the identity of the master to the fourth lady, and all the people in the Fang family will not dare." ”
Wang Zhimo sneered: "You can't guarantee all the people in the Fang family, hum!" But it's come to this point, and there are some things that can't be hidden, but you don't need to tell others about this matter, so I will naturally find a suitable time to tell her,"
"Minions understand."
"I remember the last time I heard Jin Yan say that when she came back this year, you were the one who brought her into the mansion, right?"
After hearing this, Li Ji didn't expect that a person who was concerned about national affairs all day long would still remember his little minion, and he was just a slave of the Fang family.
"The slave is scared, thank you for remembering."
Wang Zhimo smiled, looked at Li Ji, and said, "In the end, you are also angry, but in just one year, you have become the housekeeper of the Fang family." ”
Li Ji hurriedly said: "Thanks to the fourth lady's promotion, Li Ji will never forget the great kindness of the fourth miss for the rest of his life." ”
Wang Zhimo said: "It's good if you remember, don't take revenge." ”
"Even if a slave has thousands of heads, he wouldn't dare to betray the fourth lady." Li Ji said and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
At this time, Fang Jinyan and Ziyuan walked out, Wang Zhimo glanced at Li Ji, Li Ji understood, quickly got up and walked towards Fang Jinyan, and then knelt down to salute.
"Jinyan hurry up and go into the tent on such a cold day, Li Ji, you also go in and talk." Wang Zhimo said, and then motioned for Ziyuan to help Fang Jinyan back.
Li Ji followed a few people into the tent, and the warmth on his face made Li Ji's body warm up quickly.
Yuzhu handed Li Ji a cup of hot tea, Li Ji didn't dare to take it, Fang Jinyan said softly: "Steward Li, don't be formal, you have also seen the prince of the Wang family, hurry up and drink a cup of hot tea to warm up." ”
Li Ji peeked at Wang Zhimo, and saw that Wang Zhimo's eyes didn't look at him at all, but at Fang Jinyan, so he drank a glass of water in one gulp.
"The slave has seen Miss Four, and tomorrow is Miss Four's birthday, and the slave congratulated Miss Four in advance." After speaking, he put down the cup and knelt down to give Fang Jinyan a salute. (To be continued......)
