Chapter 286: Jealousy
The whole court praised Zhao Xu's magnanimity, and even the family members of the imperial doctors were all grateful after hearing the decree and praised His Majesty's kindness.
The queen mother, whether it is a relative of the emperor or a minister, all began to be busy. A number of funerals were carried out in a step-by-step manner. Because today's son Zhao Xu's body is getting worse day by day, and the death of the queen mother made him grief excessively, fainting several times, and his body became weaker, most of the things at the funeral were handed over to the ministers of the court to do, and the ministers were busy with this big thing, and they cared less about other things.
However, Ouyang Shu became more and more idle. Gradually, he began to worry about rust on his body. Seeing that Empress Meng's belly was growing day by day, he was also a little excited and a little apprehensive. After all, this is his first child, whether male or female, it is his own flesh and blood. Moreover, this child's identity is special, and it is related to the interests of many people: the royal family, ministers, Qianlong Pavilion, and thousands of people every day. Thinking of these, Ouyang Shu felt a feeling of blood boiling.
And he gradually felt that the queen's attitude towards him was also a little different, or originally a little different, but now it was more and more different. In this palace, taking the opportunity to see a doctor and have an ambiguous relationship with the queen is a very exciting thing, but it is also dangerous enough, every time he comes back from the queen's side, Ouyang Shu feels cold on the back of his head, and it seems that there is no knife dancing around. With those few imperial doctors in front of him, Rao is Ouyang Shu was quite bold, and he didn't dare not feel a chill.
On this day, Zhao Jing came, sat down and cried bitterly, but she didn't see a sight. Ouyang Shu politely persuaded a few words beside him, but he didn't know if it had any effect, Zhao Jing had already run away without a trace. Ouyang Shu looked at the empty stone road outside the door and sighed. Zhao Jing, this girl, is really ill-fated to say. When her father was in Bingtian, she was still in infancy and did not know what grief was, when her mother died, she was babbling and did not know how to express her grief, when her grandmother died, she was still a yellow-haired girl, and she only cried silly, and now, it was her adoptive mother's turn.
Hey, fortunately, she still doesn't know the truth of the matter, if she knows everything, she probably won't even be able to cry. Ouyang Shu's heart suddenly swelled with a feeling of pity. But she quickly suppressed the emotion. He knew that even if he and Zhao Jing were in love, it would be difficult for them to come together, if the princess entered the door, how could she be subservient to others! And the position of the Li family's wife, Ouyang Shu had already reserved it for a woman, although he hadn't seen that woman for a long time.
Ouyang Shu didn't know that that afternoon, Zhao Jing went to his house in person, and this time, she didn't even bring an entourage with her.
On weekdays, it is almost impossible for Zhao Jing to get rid of the palace people and leave the palace alone, but now is an extraordinary period, and the entire palace seems to be very chaotic. But Rao is like this, Zhao Jing still took a lot of effort to come to the Li Mansion.
When she arrived at the door, looking at the gilded Li Fu on the plaque, Zhao Jing was flustered, and when she left the palace, the spirit of indomitable and unyielding when she didn't achieve her goal suddenly withered.
A voice was telling her: Go in, if you don't go in, you won't have a chance!
And another voice told her: Don't go in, if you go in, the girl's face will be gone!
When he was wandering around and thinking about nothing, he suddenly heard a squeak, and the door suddenly opened by itself, and a person came out of it, but it was Liu Cong. He has recently opened his mind, and he has a hot fight with Xiao Yan, and his face has improved a lot. In the past, he was very indifferent to anyone, but now he has a little spring on his face.
Little lady, who are you looking for?Liu Cong asked.
Zhao Jing panicked for a while, and hurriedly shook her head and said: No, I didn't look for anyone, I was just passing by!
Liu Cong shook his head and closed the door again. He knew that this woman was not passing by, he had been listening to it in the door for a long time, and this woman's snort was much heavier than that of ordinary people, and it was easy for him to hear. Liu Cong didn't stop her, because he knew that Zhao Jing would not be a spy sent by the Ming Sect or some other forces. Spies are not good at daylight activities, and it is impossible for them to stand stupidly at the door of the target.
Let's say that Zhao Jing heard the sound of the door closing behind her, and immediately stopped again, turned around and paced back. As she walked, she secretly scolded herself: Zhao Jing, Zhao Jing, why are you so unproductive, what are you running, is face more important than the happiness of the second half of her life? This run strengthened her determination to knock on the door and go in.
But as soon as she reached the door, and was about to shake the knocker, the cowardice in her heart rose again, and she hesitated again.
At this moment, the door opened again, and Liu Cong's voice came: Little lady, please come in, I think you must have come to see our wife, right?
Zhao Jing's face turned red, and she had already taken a face with Liu Cong. At this time, she couldn't run anymore, so she had to hang down and say: Please also ask Taibao to lead the way!
Liu Cong hadn't seen Zhao Jing clearly, but after seeing it clearly, he secretly cheered in his heart, this is another rare beauty, and the three ladies really have their own merits, it is difficult to distinguish between them, is it the outer room that the master raised outside, and now he has come to the door?
Liu Cong's speculation, although he was not hit, it was not far away! It's a pity that soon, his thinking went off the rails: Not much, I mostly know the whereabouts of the old man in the past, and there will be no time to raise children outside. And now that he is in the palace, even if he borrows his courage, he can't seduce the women in the palace, right? Besides, where can the women in the palace go out easily? And the most important point, except for Mrs. Fan, the other two will never be jealous, Mrs. Fan is also a little petty, if the lord takes a concubine at home, she will not be too obstructive, and there is no need for the lord to raise it outside!
He didn't know that the possibility he ruled out most resolutely was precisely the fact, Zhao Jing really communicated with Ouyang Shu in the palace, but the fact had not yet reached that point.
The backyard of the Li family.
Fan Xiaolu and Hu Xiuer are playing chess.
Hu Xiuer is extremely smart, and in only half a year, she has learned some tricks of account reading and auditing. is so smart that her son Hu Lang regretted it, she knew that this daughter was so smart, she should have let her start learning to do business a long time ago, with her ability and good management, the Hu family may not be what it is today.
Since then, Hu Lang has had fewer taboos against Hu Xiu'er, Hu Xiu'er has been freed, and rarely goes out to play, but often runs to the backyard of the Li family next door, Hu Lang is naturally eager for this. He is now a little worried because his daughter is not yet pregnant, but she hopes to strengthen the relationship between the two families by moving more closely. After all, his business was able to do business in Bianjing thanks to Ouyang Shu, his son-in-law.
In recent days, Wu He is rarely at home, and even if Hu Xiuer is there, he rarely takes the initiative to come to Hu Xiuer's side, so Hu Xiuer can only go to the backyard when he comes to Li's house.
