Chapter 254: Xiao Jingyi's Ambition
In less than a moment, the news that Liu Meiniang was pregnant with a dragon and phoenix fetus spread all over the house, Zhang Jilin rushed over as soon as possible, and Zhang Li and Liu Feng also came quickly.
"Mei Niang, are you pregnant with a double body?" Zhang Li took Liu Meiniang's hand, and his mouth grinned to the back of his head.
Liu Feng didn't speak, just looked at Liu Meiniang with a concerned gaze.
"She Gongzi just checked Madame's pulse, and he can't make ......a mistake," Zi Su said with a smile covering his mouth.
Although She Ning's medical skills can't reach the realm of the flesh and bones of the living dead, his medical skills are not bad, he has been in the house for a few days, and he has helped several people cure old diseases, and even the old injuries on Tianxuan's body in his early years have been cured with a patch of medicine, and the whole house is also full of good feelings for this new Prince She Ning.
"Oh, God bless, Mei Niang, you have to rest well, pay attention to your body, over there in the kitchen, Zisu, you go and instruct me, make more supplements for Mrs., and my mother will go to incense tomorrow, thank the Buddha." Zhang Li babbled a lot.
"Mother, I'll go with you tomorrow." Zhang Tongtong hurriedly said.
"Okay, okay." Zhang Li hurriedly agreed.
"Mother, I'll stay at home with my sister-in-law." Zhang Dandan said with a wink.
"It's just you, a ghost elf." Zhang Tongtong scratched Zhang Dandan's nose.
Zhang Dandan grimaced.
"Mei Niang, take good care of yourself." Liu Feng is not good at words, and he doesn't talk much every day, so he naturally can't say a lot of comforting words at this time, so he can only dryly let Liu Meiniang pay attention to his body.
"Mei Niang." When Zhang Jilin heard the news, it was as if something had smashed into his chest, not pain, but joy, so that when he came to Liu Meiniang's room from the study, he walked like he was stepping on cotton.
"Ji Rin." Liu Meiniang looked at Zhang Jilin with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but there were so many people standing next to her, Zhang Jilin took a lot of effort to control the urge to hold Liu Meiniang in her arms.
There was another burst of noise and joy in Zhang's house.
In the afternoon, Zhang Jirin received a post.
"Master, the second prince will hold a banquet in the mansion tomorrow and invite you to go." Tianshu came in, holding a bright yellow post in his hand and shook it, Zhang Jirin took the post and glanced at it and threw it aside.
"Who knows, the second prince also invited?" Zhang Jilin asked.
"There are also Xue Wuyi's sons, Nie Changfeng's sons, as well as Wei Mingyu, Wen Zhao, He Yu and many other sons of the family." Hearing Tianshu say this, Zhang Jirin put his mind at ease, as long as he didn't invite him to go one or two people.
Besides, when he met Xiao Jingyi in the palace, Xiao Jingyi had already said this, and Zhang Jirin couldn't shirk it anymore.
After cleaning up the next day, Zhang Jirin went to the Second Prince's Mansion.
"Mr. Zhang." Entering the Second Prince's Mansion, I saw Xiao Jingyi talking to everyone in the garden at a glance, and the sound of the subordinate talking attracted the attention of several people, and everyone turned their heads and saw Zhang Jirin coming.
"Second prince, princes." Zhang Jirin gave up.
"Mr. Zhang." Several people returned the salute.
Zhang Jilin nodded and glanced at it, but he also found Xue Wuyi and Nie Changfeng in the crowd. Looking at Xue Wuyi's face, the injuries on his body were probably completely healed, and Zhang Jilin looked away lightly.
"Since the crowd is almost here, let's have a feast." Xiao Jingyi looked at the young talents in the garden, and didn't know whether to sigh or sigh, there were so many people, and he didn't know how many people could be used by him in the end, in fact, if one of Xue Wuyi and Zhang Jirin could be pulled into his camp, Xiao Jingyi's chances of winning would be much more.
Pity...... Neither of these two people is easy to fool.
"Brother Ji Rin." Nie Changfeng and Xue Wuyi deliberately walked slowly behind the people, and walked side by side with Zhang Jilin to say hello.
"You're here too." Zhang Jirin nodded and asked.
"Can't you help it?" Xue Wuyi opened the fan in his hand and slapped it twice, and said solemnly.
Zhang Jirin didn't say anything, and walked straight.
"Brother Ji Rin, I haven't seen you for a long time." Nie Changfeng whispered.
Although Nie Changfeng has an official position, he is a military attache and has his own jurisdiction, and he does not have to go to the court every day, although Zhang Jilin is in the same situation, but Zhang Jilin has a lot of affairs at hand and is valued by Emperor Changping, so he basically has to go to the court every day.
And Xue Wuyi had no official position before, and after the Dragon King Banquet, Xue Wuyi was named the Imperial Doctor by Emperor Changping. However, Xue Wuyi has not been to the court, and he has been using the excuse that his injuries have not healed, but I am afraid it will not last long.
After Xue Wuyi was sealed, Xue Zhongjing's actions became even more weird, at least in Xue Wuyi's opinion, he would send people to comfort him almost every day, and he came to the house every once in a while to take a look, such Xue Zhongjing Xue Wuyi was really not able to adapt, so every time Xue Zhongjing came, Xue Wuyi either pretended to sleep or pretended to sleep, which made Xue Zhongjing mistakenly think that Xue Wuyi's injury was too serious, so he was more concerned, and he didn't know if Xue Wuyi was stealing chickens and rice.
On the other side, Xue Ziqian seemed to be a lot quieter after his leg was scrapped, and he often sat silently alone, because Xue Ziqian became disabled, and the Wei family withdrew from the marriage without hesitation, which made Xue Zhongjing furious, and even stabbed Emperor Changping.
Emperor Changping had a headache, and in the end, the Wei family cried how miserable it was, Emperor Changping waved his hand and agreed to withdraw from the marriage, but the Wei family also lost a lot, Wei Mingyue wanted to marry out in this life, and it was impossible for a famous family in the capital to marry, so he could only marry.
Similarly, his own son suffered such a big disaster, Xue Zhongjing was not a vegetarian, and he bombarded the Wei family in the court that day, saying that the Wei family had no power to fight back, and finally gave Wei Mingyue's father a charge of unfavorable office work, and was fined by Emperor Changping for one year.
Zhang Jilin has also heard about this.
During the banquet, Xiao Jingyi toasted these sons of the family one by one, which flattered several people, only Zhang Jilin watched this scene thoughtfully, while Xue Wuyi and Nie Changfeng didn't care about these things at all, Xiao Jingyi saw that the three people he valued the most had such an attitude, and he was angry.
"Mr. Zhang, this prince has the courage to ask, what does Mr. Zhang think about the current situation in the world?" Seeing Zhang Jirin sitting alone and drinking, Xiao Jingyi's words moved everyone's attention to Zhang Jirin.
"The second prince laughed, his subordinates are the commanders of the Imperial Forest Army, and it is okay to do their part, and in this situation in the world, his subordinates dare not speak falsely." Zhang Jirin put down the wine glass and sat down and said, others really thought that Zhang Jirin didn't know anything.
"Where is Mr. Zhang, since we are ministers, we should be careful about the world, the second prince asked this, what does Brother Zhang mean by not answering?" Xie Mingyu always felt panicked when he saw Zhang Jirin's smiling tiger appearance, so after drinking the wine in his hand, he made a fuss at Zhang Jirin.
"It's not that I don't answer, it's that I don't understand, and I ask the second prince to calm his anger." Zhang Jilin was not annoyed, and said in a calm tone.
"Listening to Brother Wei's words, Brother Wei should be very insightful, it is better for Brother Wei to say a few words." Xue Wuyi's voice sounded, Wei Mingyu looked over, and Xue Wuyi was looking at him with a smile.
Wei Mingyu was depressed for a while.
"Look at what Xue Gongzi said, Wei just wants to hear Brother Zhang's opinion on this, so that he can learn a thing or two, why should Xue Gongzi be aggressive." For Xue Wuyi, of course Wei Mingyu looks down on him, a concubine, even if he is rich, what can he do, the distinction between concubines and concubines is like blood orthodoxy, crushing people, they have always looked down on concubines and concubines, but their upbringing makes them usually not say it.
"Huh!" Xue Wuyi sneered and drank by himself, looking like he didn't want to argue with Wei Mingyu anymore. Wei Mingyu's face darkened.
Later, several people expressed their opinions one after another, which were not very popular in Xiao Jingyi's opinion.
Originally, I wanted to listen to Zhang Jilin and Xue Wuyi's opinions, but they were stirred up by Wei Mingyu and ruined.
"Why don't we go out into the garden." After eating, Xiao Jingyi took the lead in standing up and taking everyone out, Xue Wuyi was obviously not in high spirits and followed behind, only Nie Changfeng said a few words in Xue Wuyi's ear from time to time, making Xue Wuyi laugh. When they arrived at the garden, everyone scattered around to enjoy the flowers and chat.
"Mr. Zhang, this prince is humbly asking you for advice." I don't know when, Xiao Jingyi came to Zhang Jilin's side, Zhang Jirin turned his head and glanced at Xiao Jingyi, and sighed slightly in his heart, if he still had a little bit of scheming in the past, now he just wants to go home to accompany Liu Meiniang and the child.
Besides, if you really want to choose someone to assist, this Xiao Jingyi is indeed a good candidate, and Wen Taowu is not bad.
It's a pity......
"The second prince is being ignorant." No matter what Xiao Jingyi said, Zhang Jilin only had one sentence over and over again, and Xiao Jingyi's patience was about to be worn out.
"Oops!" A maid with tea came over, Zhang Jirin turned around, and the little maid actually bumped into Zhang Jirin, and all the tea in her hand spilled out.
"How do you do things?" Xiao Jingyi was furious, and the little maid was so frightened that she lay on the ground and began to beg for mercy, crying breathlessly.
"Mr. Zhang, why don't you go to the yard, and I'll ask someone to bring you a new set of ready-to-wear clothes." After Xiao Jingyi reprimanded the maid, he turned his head and said apologetically.
"It's okay, no need, I'm ......"
"This dress is very wet, besides, it's still early, there are still two hours before we finish, Mr. Zhang can't wear such clothes all the time." Xiao Jingyi interrupted Zhang Jilin's words and said.
Zhang Jirin paused slightly, but still nodded.
Xiao Jingyi immediately called his subordinates and walked towards the other side with Zhang Jirin.
"Brother Ji Rin......" Nie Changfeng was a little worried, but Xue Wuyi slapped Nie Changfeng with a fan, no matter what, Zhang Jilin would not be calculated, and he didn't know what Nie Changfeng was worried about every day.
Xue Wuyi followed his subordinates to a courtyard.
"Chief, wait here for a while, and the clean clothes will be brought over immediately." After speaking, the little guy respectfully retreated, and Zhang Jirin nodded.
The room is an ordinary guest room, and Zhang Jirin didn't take it seriously until his body was getting hotter and hotter.
