Chapter 17: Surfacing

The sunlight scattered carelessly on the earth through the thin clouds, soft, but dispelled the cold that had been stretching for many days.

Today should have returned to Ning, but it was already in the cold autumn, and the Beili mission, which was worried about the road closure due to heavy snowfall, returned on the day of the wedding of the princess Shunhe. For Yuejin, it saved her the trouble of making rules to that group of "relatives".

After breakfast, Yue Jin threw herself on the bed and prepared to sleep, and Younan immediately came to drag her: "Princess, you are all going to be a mother soon, why are you still so lazy?" ”

Mother? To be a mother of whom?

Yue Jin sat up suddenly, pulled Younan Sanlian and asked, "Am I pregnant?" When did it happen? How did I not know? ”

"What do you think, princess?" Younan looked at her like a fool, and couldn't help but smile: "Concubine Su and His Royal Highness have a child, you are the main mother of the house, so naturally you want to be sent here to raise you." ”

"I don't want it." Yue Jin covered her head in the quilt and protested, "I don't want a child to bother me." ”

"How?" Younan turned out her princess and said seriously, "Only in this way will she not dare to make a mistake." ”

Take the child as a handle, heh, despicable. It seems that this trick is very applicable in both Beili and Hanshu.

She had never brought a child, and she didn't know what to prepare, so she took the money and begged the old lady in the prince's mansion to buy something that the child liked.

Guarding the pile of things until the evening, the maid came in to inform Concubine Su that she was coming.

Younan brought Su Nian in, and Yue Jin looked behind her, but she didn't see the little emperor grandson. When she saw Su Nian coming in, she stared at her, and asked strangely, "What's wrong?" ”

Su Nian didn't speak, and pointed to the corner of his mouth.

Only then did Yue Jin find that the corners of her mouth were stained with the scraps of the dim sum she had just eaten, so she quickly wiped it off with a handkerchief, and then looked up to find Su Nian with a shallow smile on her face.

"Concubine Su was so rude, she didn't come until this time." Yue Jin said.

"Please forgive me."

Su Nian didn't explain, those dark brown eyes flashed with translucent light, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly, looking a little aggrieved, which made people feel pity.

"It's okay, it's okay, sit down." Yue Jin wanted to pretend to be serious and tease her, but Su Nian's reaction made her unable to pretend.

Finally got a chance to take a good look at her.

Su Nian and Yue Jin imagined that it was not quite the same.

Yue Jin had always thought that a woman who could be favored must have a beautiful appearance and a charming backbone, but these two words have nothing to do with Su Nian.

This is not intended to belittle, Su Nian is actually quite good-looking, and he is just good-looking, and it may be okay to put it elsewhere, but it is really not brilliant in a place like Yun Yao.

After chatting for a while, Yue Jin still didn't see any nurses, thinking about how to ask about the little emperor and grandson tactfully.

Su Nian opened his mouth first: "Don't worry, the crown princess, Your Highness took Ah Chen out of the house to play, and she will be back soon." Then she instructed the maid in the blue skirt beside her, "Ruoya, give the account to the crown princess." ”

Ruoya put a stack of books on the table, respectfully and humbly: "Crown Princess, this is a breakdown of the expenditure of various things in the palace, please take a look." ”

Yue Jin flipped through it casually, and there were dense small characters on every page, trivial but not messy, and it could be seen that Su Nian had managed this mansion in an orderly manner before.

Younan suddenly said: "Did Concubine Su forget something?" ”

Su Nian was silent for a moment, covered his mouth and chuckled: "Look at my brain here, Ruoya, you go back and get the house seal." Looking at Yue Jin again, he bowed his head slightly and said, "I'm going to trouble the princess to wait for a while." ”

"Wait? I don't have much time to wait for you! Younan looked at Su Nian and was deliberately delaying time.

"If the crown princess is unwilling to wait, then I will send someone tomorrow."

"You obviously don't want to hand over power!" Younan concluded.

"Alright, Yonan ." Yue Jin said softly.

What she did today was just to establish some prestige in the mansion for future layout, and the relationship with Su Nian was too stiff and meaningless for her.

Besides, she was originally here for Su Nian.

Seeing that Ruoya hasn't returned yet, Yuejin asks her maid Fluttershy to fetch tea.

"This is a branch of Beili, which is slightly different from the fragrance and sweetness of the cold crisp tea, I don't know if it is the right taste?" Yue Jin took a sip of tea and closed her eyes to taste its unique bitter fragrance.

"That being the case, you must taste it." Su Nian took the teacup from the teapot in Fluttershy's hand and brought it to her lips with a smile, she meowed into the cup, and her face turned pale in an instant.

The tea cup slipped from Su Nian's hand and shattered.

"What? Concubine Su was so disgusted. Younan said angrily, "But we are in Beili, just this kind of tea, whether we like to drink it or not." ”

Su Nian held the table with both hands, trembling uncontrollably, unable to speak for a long time.

Yue Jin followed her gaze, and among the fragments of the tea cup on the ground, there was a red-headed centipede with a thick black index finger.

"Yikes!" Younan's face sank, first cleared up, and then reprimanded, "Who did it!" If this thing is ingested, it will kill people! Who's serving the tea? ”

Fluttershy crouches on the ground, "Yes...... It's a slave. ”

"Why?" Yue Jin asked with a stiff face.

"Niangniang Mingjian, Niangniang!" Fluttershy looked up in a panic, "The slave has checked before she handles it, and there can be no such poison unless ...... Unless ......"

Yu Nan walked up to Fluttershy and said, "Tell me, Niang Niang asked you!" ”

But from time to time, Fluttershy glanced at Su Nian with her peripheral vision, and stopped talking several times.

Seeing her strangeness, Yue Jin said in a harmonious voice: "Don't be afraid, tell the truth about everything." If there is a grievance, this palace will return your innocence. ”

Hearing this, Fluttershy took a deep breath and raised her hand to Su Nian as if she had great courage, "It's all the slaves instructed by Concubine Su." ”

"What's in it for me?" Su Nian, who was identified, was very calm.

"It's ......," Fluttershy said, looking down, "the slave doesn't know." ”

Su Nian smiled lightly: "Of course you don't know. ”

Yue Jin looked at Su Nian in surprise, and vaguely felt that something seemed wrong, so she cleared her throat and said, "Do you want to explain anything?" ”

"What's the trouble of wanting to add sin?" Su Nian got up unhurriedly and curtfell to his knees, "It's good to have a clear conscience." ”

"The second-class maid Fluttershy is suspected of betraying her lord for glory, so she will be fined half a year and demoted to the last class of the handmaiden." Yue Jin pressed the corner of her forehead and had a headache, she didn't want to punish Su Nian before she knew it, but it seemed biased not to punish her, and it was difficult to decide for a while, "As for Concubine Su, ......"

"Auntie."

Suddenly, the sound of milk interrupted Yue Jin's train of thought, and then she saw a ball rushing in and rushing straight to Su Nian.

It seems that this is the little emperor's grandson.
