Chapter 25, wife and children look forward to your coming
"Madam, you just gave birth to a child, and now your body is still weak, drink this bowl of ginseng soup and rest early."
The little maid was worried that Li Shu's body would not be able to bear it, but Li Shu did not refuse, but just shook his head, got up and put on the warm mink of winter and walked out alone.
"Madame, where are you going?"
"Help me take care of the little general, I'll go to the study for a while."
The study was the only place where she could feel his breath.
When she opened the door, a faint mint fragrance came to her face, she warmed her hands with a sigh of relief, if she let Xie Zixu know that she had just given birth to a child and came out to be exposed to the wind, she would definitely have to talk to her for a long time.
Li Shuhong took out a large pile of letters from the desk with his hand, and carefully looked for the letter with my son's name and surname, "Brother Xu, if you don't come back, it will be autumn and winter, and we are both afraid of the cold, and you can't coax our mother and daughter when the time comes." ”
Li Shu was talking to herself while looking for the letter, in fact, she had already flipped through it just now, but she just wanted to continue to rummage, there were only a few letters sent by Xie Zixu, and she wanted to pretend that she couldn't finish reading a lot of letters.
Finally, she was tired, picked up the second letter and carefully opened it, there were not many family words in the letter, all of them were the names that Xie Zixu chose for the child in Li Shu's womb.
At a glance, it was just that he missed Li Shu and admired Li Shu's name, Li Shu covered his mouth funny and said: "Brother Xu, you are a rough general, that horse is just called a love book, how can your own children be called a scholar!" It's really going to turn our general's mansion into a literary mansion that loves reading! ”
After reading the letter, Li Shu thought left and right, picked up the pen, ink and paper and began to write letters, she didn't dare to write too many words of greeting Xie Zixu, she was afraid that the letter would not be sent to Xie Zixu, after all, these letters were to pass the emperor's ears.
"Husband, the child has passed away safely, your wife and I decided to call the child Xie Shu, I don't know what the husband thinks of these two names?"
Li Shu put the letter in the envelope with a smile on her face, and when she returned on August 15, she could go out with him when Xie Zixu returned.
Shen Muqing got up early the next day, and she also wanted to sleep more, but Ruan Muheng told her that there would be a holy decree later.
After a busy morning, the holy intention finally arrived at the princess's mansion before noon, the emperor set up a banquet, and three days later all the female relatives entered the palace to celebrate the princess's wedding anniversary.
Ruan Muheng took the holy decree and threw it in the room, frowned and said, "It's best not to let Li Shu go that day." ”
Shen Muqing didn't take it seriously at all and said: "Li Shu is still in confinement, and she has a lot of time to celebrate the anniversary of this kind of ghost." ”
"No, since the emperor has set up a banquet like this, he will definitely find a way to let Li Shu go."
"Are you saying that this anniversary banquet is for Li Shu?"
"It's for Xie Zixu, the emperor is celebrating Xie Zixu's death, you and I will go to the General's Mansion now to stop the holy decree to be announced."
Shen Muqing didn't dare to slow down, and hurriedly arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion with Ruan Muheng, and stopped the holy decree to announce Xie Zixu's death.
"Father-in-law, what are you going to do?"
"The old slave participates in the princess, is the princess here to play with the general's wife?"
Shen Muqing nodded and said, "Does my father-in-law have any holy decrees to read?" Li Shu is not out of confinement yet, I'm afraid she can't answer the decree outside, so it's better for me to read it. ”
"It's... I'm afraid not, there is still a dead body in the old slave's carriage and sedan waiting to be claimed by the general's wife! The white-faced eunuch looked at Shen Muqing with an embarrassed expression.
"Dead bodies?"
"The princess doesn't know anything, the border pass has been defeated, no one has survived, we are asking the families of the border soldiers to claim the dead bodies of each family, so that they can have a home to return."
Shen Muqing gasped, almost suffocated, and coughed directly from his own saliva.
Ruan Muheng snatched the holy decree from the eunuch's hand, "Transporting the body to the princess's mansion, the princess and I will come to claim it, the general's wife has just given birth, and you are irritated and fall ill, can you afford this responsibility?" ”
"It's... Old slave..."
"Needless to say, send it to the princess's mansion, and the princess will return to His Majesty to explain the situation."
The words fell, and Li Shu's voice came from the door, "Princess? How did you get here? Princess? But a letter from my father has arrived? Why did you bother to go this time? ”
With the support of everyone, Li Shu was neatly dressed although he did not apply powder, and appeared in front of everyone in plain green clothes, because the facial swelling caused by production seems to have improved a lot today.
Ruan Muheng tugged at the corner of the princess, and said in a low voice: "The princess thinks about what to do by himself, whether to offend the princess and return to her life and then cause the general's wife to fall ill and be spurned by everyone, or go back and report to the emperor truthfully." ”
"Why doesn't the prince speak?" Li Shu tilted her head suspiciously, she was some distance away from the princess, she had just given birth and was weak, she couldn't see or hear clearly, so she could only ask helplessly.
"Ah, that's right, the emperor asked the old slave to invite the lady to the princess's anniversary banquet three days later to celebrate the princess's long-term relationship with the princess."
"This is a strange thing, Your Majesty really loves Her Royal Highness the Princess, this is the first time Your Majesty has held a banquet for the feelings of others! It's a pity that I'm not in good health, so I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the banquet. ”
Shen Muqing followed Li Shu's words and said: "It's okay, it's just that my father suddenly came to hold a big banquet, and my wife can not go if she is unwell." ”
"Thank you."
The white-faced eunuch said with a look of regret: "It's a pity, that lady may send someone to participate, and this time His Majesty seems to have to talk about the border pass." ”
Li Shu, who was already planning to return to the house, stopped, and showed an excited look on his calm face, "Is it a big victory at the border pass?" ”
"The old slave doesn't know either! Your Majesty will wait until the banquet to speak. ”
Shen Muqing walked to Li Shu's side with a long skirt and said, "I am at your ease, I will definitely tell you everything that my father said at the banquet word for word." ”
Li Shu thought about it for a while, she really can't leave the house now, if there are any sequelae, her brother Xu should be distressed to death.
"Then there is Her Royal Highness Princess Lao."
"Don't work hard, it's windy outside, you can go into the house quickly, I will take care of the princess here."
"Thank you princess for your understanding, princess, it's rude."
After Li Shu finished speaking, he entered the mansion, but his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
She took the hand of the maid beside her and asked, "Do you think that Her Royal Highness the princess is really thinking about me or is there something to hide from me?" ”
"Madame, her Royal Highness the princess has been kind to you and the general over the years, and those of us who are slaves are obvious to all, what Her Royal Highness the princess does must be for your good!"
Li Shu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm just afraid that she is too good for me, and even my husband will hide it from me if something happens." ”
"General Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will not have an accident."
Li Shu stretched out his index finger, lightly tapped it on the maid's head, and said gently: "You, you will be poor, don't say it, let the nurse take care of the book, I will go to the ancestral hall to pray for blessings." ”
"It's a little cold over there in the ancestral hall, so Madame should wait for the carbon furnace to warm up before going over."
"According to you, according to you, you people are here to supervise me for Brother Xu!"
"Where is it, we are here to hurt Mrs. for the general."
