Chapter 48: Pregnancy
After listening to Zhao Ling's words, the King of Chu was silent for a moment before saying: "Regardless of your feelings for the time being, it's just that if you are really with Xiaoyu, what will you face in the future, you should know in your heart that there are some contradictions and some hatred, which cannot be resolved by your enthusiasm alone, I hope you can understand and accept it calmly in the future!" ”
His father has always been serious and cold in his mind, since the death of his mother, there are very few times when the father and son have a heart-to-heart, and the most recent one was a few years ago, when his relationship with Zhao Yan was getting closer and closer. It's just that at that time, my father was the same as now, just euphemistically expressed his opinion, and did not support or stop it.
When he was confused, he also hoped to get guidance from his father, but as he grew older, he found that he was the only one who could influence his decisions.
"I know, Father!" Zhao Ling bowed and said.
"This king doesn't know what you said to the royal brother, but he was able to make the royal brother open his mouth to agree to your marriage with Xiaoyu, and this king doesn't plan to ask carefully, but you have to know that the imperial brother's scheming city is unfathomable, and with this king's understanding of him, he will not do anything unfavorable to himself! He will agree to this marriage, and even try his best to promote this marriage, there must be his willingness, although it is disrespectful, but you have to guard against it! ”
"Your Majesty has always advocated the rule of filial piety, and will not disobey the will of the imperial grandmother, this time the marriage can be given, the queen mother must have passed, and Your Majesty will definitely not make the imperial grandmother unhappy head-on, I think this matter must be mediated by the father!" Zhao Ling thought for a while and said, "It must be embarrassing for my father!" ”
"This king is just acting according to the order, since the royal brother has asked this king to come forward, can this king still resist the decree?" King Chu smiled a little astringently, "The queen mother has always felt that she has treated this king as a son, and since this king insists on this matter, she will not object too much, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about!" It's just the day of the little fish in the future...... The queen mother won't like her, not to mention that Xiuwen is by her side! ”
"This is the matter between my son and Xiaoyu, no matter what difficulties there are in the future, my son will face it with Xiaoyu!" Zhao Ling arched his hand and said, "Please don't worry about us, father!" ”
Coming out of his father's study, Zhao Ling took a deep breath, the corners of his mouth curled up inadvertently, he looked up at the blue sky, at this time, that girl should have received the holy decree, will she be happy?
"Big brother, you're laughing! What are you so happy about? A little girl about ten years old asked, tilting her head.
"Stupid, the eldest brother is going to marry a daughter-in-law, of course I'm happy!" Another boy of about ten years old said with disdain, "Didn't you hear the decree of Fang Cai? ”
These two villains look nine points similar, it is a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, ten years ago the princess died in childbirth, leaving this pair of children, the people in the palace are very fond of the two, fortunately, the two are pure by nature, a little arrogant, but they have not developed the habit of domineering.
Zhao Yang'er scratched his head and said suspiciously: "I don't understand those words!" ”
"Stupid, you doze off in class on weekdays, when have you ever heard what the master said?" Zhao Quan hugged his two chubby arms and pretended to be an old lesson.
"Don't talk about my sister!" Zhao Ling smiled and rubbed his brother's head, "My sister can't keep up with the master's progress, you should help your sister more, you keep saying these frustrating words, making my sister more and more discouraged!" ”
"I see!" Zhao Quan took half a step back and said respectfully with his fists clenched.
Zhao Yang'er proudly stuck out her tongue at her brother, who was as big as her.
"You too!" Zhao Ling squatted down and pinched the young sister's face, "The mother concubine was a famous talented woman in the capital back then, if you were illiterate, wouldn't you lose the face of the mother concubine?" ”
Zhao Ling has always loved his younger siblings very much, and his tenderness as a brother is fully revealed.
Zhao Quan wrinkled his face and thought for a while, before he said hesitantly: "Big brother, I heard that the young lady of the Jiang family who the emperor's uncle gave you to marry is not very good-looking, how can he be worthy of his brother!" Why don't you go into the palace and beg the emperor's uncle to take back his will! ”
Zhao Ling turned his face blank, looked at his younger siblings seriously, and said: "Your sister-in-law is the woman I chose by myself, you must respect her as you respect me in the future, and don't bully her, otherwise I will help her, because she is the woman I will spend my life with, you know?" ”
"Understood!"
Zhao Ling got up, patted his younger siblings' heads again, and muttered, "If it weren't for that incident ten years ago, you would definitely like her very much now!" ”
When night fell, the Jiang Mansion was still full of joy, whether it was the master or the servant, whether it was true or false, there was a smile on his face, as if he had seen the Jiang family have a golden phoenix, flew into the heavenly family, and since then they have soared, all of them are honored.
"You really didn't go to the banquet in front?" Jiang Youran teased his colorful parrot while asking lightly.
"I'm not feeling well, I don't want to go!" Jiang Yiran said angrily.
"No, if it doesn't appear, I'm afraid that my father and grandmother won't be happy!" Jiang Youran turned his eyes and said suspiciously, "You are used to being calm, why are you so abnormal today, it is very different from your usual, don't you talk about me on weekdays?" If it was for Jiang Xiaoyu's marriage with the son, I had been tossed for so long, and I was prepared, wouldn't you be able to accept it? ”
"Don't say a word, I'm annoyed, you can love if you like, don't buzz in my ears!" Jiang Yiran rubbed her temples and said.
"Be kind as a donkey's liver and lungs, ignore you!" Jiang Youran threw the melon seeds in his hand, "If you like to stay, stay there!" ”
Jiang Yiran was indeed so angry that she had a headache, in her opinion, it was impossible for the palace to agree to the marriage between Jiang Xiaoyu and Shizi, so no matter how Shizi behaved, she could accept it calmly, it should not happen in those circumstances, but what happened now, how could the palace accept Jiang Xiaoyu's origin, she is a person who has a lot to do with rebellion, what went wrong, what did she miss?
The eldest lady's ability is still very good, although the time is urgent, but this dinner is still perfect, in addition to the old and young of the Jiang Mansion gathered together, several respected elders in the clan were also invited.
The eldest lady wore a dignified and gentle smile, commanded the people to serve the food for a while, carefully inquired about the needs of the people at the table for a while, and resolved the embarrassment with clever words for a while.
However, Jiang Xiaoyu herself is also happy to be idle, with her in the way, she only needs to occasionally cooperate and smile shyly.
"Where's Yiran?" The old lady asked with a somewhat unhappy face.
"She's a little unwell, so she's resting in the room!" Jiang Youran said lightly, "It's all a family, if you look up and don't look down, you don't necessarily have to think about the eldest lady's congratulations in person!" ”
The old lady was obviously a little dissatisfied, but she didn't say anything because of the large number of people, Jiang Xiaoyu smiled faintly and said, "Is the third sister unwell?" Have you seen it with a doctor? ”
"It's nothing important, the eldest lady doesn't have to worry!"
The eldest lady smiled and talked to a few daughters-in-law and aunts of her own family, but suddenly she only felt a little nauseous in her chest, and she couldn't help but turn her head and take a few nausea bites.
Immediately, someone quipped: "Look at Madame's appearance, it shouldn't be pregnant!" ”
"You want to give birth to a big fat boy, don't make fun of me, where can I get pregnant in my grade!" The eldest lady's heartbeat skipped a beat, and she still smiled and joked with a few people without mind.
"You can't say that, the sister-in-law of the Li family is pregnant with her daughter-in-law, and she is happy, but the old lady of their family is happy!"
Speaking unintentionally, the listener is intentional.
When the third aunt heard these words, she only felt that her heart sank, and she glanced at her son beside her, and her eyes turned, and her heart was already a hundred times a thousand times.
"Sister, don't worry about it yet, the truth of the matter is not yet known, maybe it's just that she is not feeling well!" The sixth aunt smiled and gave the third aunt a dish, leaned into her ear again, lowered her voice and said, "However, if it's true, I'm afraid my sister will have to make plans as soon as possible!" ”
"My sister said it's funny, what can I do? If the eldest lady really doubts it, it will be too late for me to be happy! The third aunt smiled reluctantly.
"If my sister really thinks so, it's just because I'm afraid that the other party won't think so!" The sixth aunt sneered, "Anyway, I have poured out my heart and lungs for my sister, if my sister believes me, if she has any troubles in the future, just tell me!" ”
"I have received my sister's kindness, today is a happy event for the eldest lady, a happy event for the Jiang Mansion, let's talk about this matter later!" Although the third aunt tried her best to hide it, her face still looked heavy, turned her head, and asked Jiang Haoran a few words.
Jiang Haoran is a big ghost, and he also noticed the movement over there, and asked with an innocent smile: "Auntie, is my mother going to add a younger brother to me?" ”
"Don't think about it!" The third aunt sandwiched the dishes for her son, "Besides, that's a good thing!" ”
"Yes, I think it's a good thing, I'm the only boy in the house, and I don't even have anyone to play with!" Jiang Haoran laughed innocently.
The people around just smiled and looked at it, thinking that this child was innocent and cute, and as for the eldest lady's pregnancy, most of them were just jokes, and they didn't take it to heart!
