Chapter 169: Shocking Change
"You even lied to me in order to design others? And lied that she was pregnant with our child? The prince couldn't think about the cause and effect of the whole thing for a while, but he couldn't believe Xue Ke's approach.
"Brother Prince, I was wrong." Xue Ke whispered, holding the prince's sleeve with both hands.
The prince waved his sleeves heavily, spread her hand, and was about to leave.
"Your Highness!" Xue Ke knelt on the ground with a "snap", "I was wrong." ”
The prince's figure paused for a moment, but he didn't turn around, and said in a low voice, "I can't believe it, I'm so disappointed." ”
In his heart, whether it is a court fight, or a deceit, he will fight if he doesn't like it, and all this is nothing more than wanting to give an explanation to himself and his beloved woman.
And Xue Ke was pregnant with his child, this incident gave him great joy and motivation, and now, she told him that it was just a detail of her plan? Did she consider his feelings when planning?
Looking at the back of the prince leaving, Xue Ke still said angrily, "If you don't forgive me, I can't afford to kneel!" ”
The prince's back disappeared into the eyeliner.
Xue Ke slowly got up, "Ah Liu, when did you say that His Highness would come back, he wouldn't really bear to let me kneel all the time, right?" Ah Liu, why are you pulling my sleeve? Oops! ”
Xue Ke was pulled by Ah Liuyi, and one of them didn't stand firmly, and the whole person went down.
"Ah Liu!" Xue Ke was a little angry, and when she looked up, the prince's face looked at her coldly.
"Brother Prince!" Xue Ke immediately raised a smiling face.
The prince's expression was still like an iceberg that would not melt for thousands of years, and it was a little colder than just now, and he asked, "Does Nangong know about this matter?" ”
"This, Lord Nangong, he, how could he know?" Xue Ke was very tactful, but his words were a little weak.
The prince turned around and walked away again.
Xue Ke continued: "This time, I can't afford to kneel!" Your Highness, Your Highness! ”
Xue Ke patted his knees, and said with palpitations, "Ah Liu, don't say it, Nangong is really far-sighted, and he asked for sick leave in advance." ”
Picked an osmanthus flower, fragrant, Xue Ke took down the golden stamens, blew them away in one breath, and muttered to himself, "What is written in the letter?" Why did the emperor let the queen go like this? ”
Regardless of whether Xue Ke was really pregnant or not, he still lay in the Baopu Courtyard for half a month, to show that he had a miscarriage and lost the child.
What made her depressed was that the prince really didn't set foot in the Baopu Courtyard this month, and he didn't even send someone to condole. The entire East Palace spread that Tang Niangzi lost her children and fell out of favor.
It's just that Baopu Yuan can't do without a bitter and thick medicinal soup that is boiled hard and thick every day, and Xue Ke suspects that the prince probably did it on purpose.
So after this little moon was done, Xue Ke's whole person was plump more than once.
Looking in the mirror, Xue Ke was also proud for a long time, she has always envied a girl who is a little fleshy, probably influenced by Ren Yao's aesthetics a long time ago. Ren Yao has always told her that a sensual woman, like Mo Sanniang, can be regarded as attractive.
Mama Zhang has been kept in the dark, so she restrained Xue Ke for a whole month. It wasn't until Xue Ke mentioned that he wanted to use the Mid-Autumn Festival to invite the prince to admire the moon that Mama Zhang relented and agreed to Xue Ke to go out.
It's just autumn, but Mama Zhang can't drain the water from Xue Kewei, and the wind can't blow in. Xue Ke drank countless tonic soups during this time, and he felt that his body was hot, and then he covered it tightly, and there was already a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
"Wear more clothes, don't wait for a sore backache in the future to know that it's terrible!" Mama Zhang stopped Xue Ke's hand to pull down the hood, and told Ah Liu to look at the lady.
Ah Liu nodded silently.
Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, sure enough, the moonlight can be enjoyed. There was not a single cloud in the sky, and there was only a bright moon, which hung coldly in the dark night.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the surroundings are more and more quiet. The fragrance of osmanthus comes from all directions.
Xue Ke took a deep breath, she was in a happy mood when she was just let out of the door, and couldn't help humming a little song.
Ah Liu looked at her, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
I thought that at this time, there would be no one else in Su Zhengtang, who knew that Nangong and Sun Mo were there.
When Xue Ke saw Nangong, he was even happier in his heart. Nangong is a clever person, and everything is better with him.
The prince glanced at Xue Ke, didn't speak, and couldn't help but peek at it, sure enough, what the imperial doctor said was right, in addition to the effect of dispelling uterine cold and helping pregnancy, this tonic can also make the woman plump and white, and the prince's heart was inexplicable.
These days he told himself that he could no longer indulge her, he was afraid that one day if she did have children, he would put their children in the calculation of the fight, and he had to tell her his bottom line, although he endured it very hard.
Indeed, during this period of time, the situation in the imperial court changed dramatically, and he simply pulled a few people in Nangong every day to work all night. Nangong was miserable, and he didn't dare to complain.
Xue Ke gave a gentle salute, and Nangong and Sun Mo were also familiar with each other, nodding to each other.
Xue Ke showed a harmless sweet smile, and his voice was soft and glutinous, "Your Highness, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, why are you still pulling the two adults to discuss business?" ”
"There are many affairs in the court, and Your Highness has a lot of opportunities during this time!" Nangong was busy helping to explain, and when he was thinking about whether to step back first, he only heard the prince ask lightly
"Why don't you rest in Baopu Courtyard, what are you doing here?"
"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I specially made moon cakes and gave them to His Highness to taste!"
The prince looked at Ah Liu, who was behind Xue Ke, holding a box, and did not speak.
Nangong hurriedly played the round and said, "The lady is really concerned about His Highness!" This heart, Weichen is really moved! I don't know if Weichen and Master Sun have a share? ”
The prince snorted.
Xue Ke smiled: "Of course there is!" Ah Liu, take it out and give the two adults a taste of my handiwork. ”
Ah Liu put the food box aside, opened the box, and brought out a plate of mooncakes. Walking to the cases next to Nangong and Sun Mo, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
There are a few snacks on several cases, probably because today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the most conspicuous of them is a moon cake, round, engraved with cloud and water patterns around it, several of which are printed with the words "Flower Good Moon", and the other few are printed with the words "Qin Se and Ming".
Ah Liu silently took out the mooncake from the box.
Xue Ke introduced coquettishly on the side, "This kind of flower is full moon is filled with osmanthus lotus paste, and this kind of qin and song is filled with red beans and glutinous rice, all of which are particularly sweet!" ”
She has always been satisfied with the meals in the East Palace.
Sun Mo is an honest man, and his face is a little tense.
Nangong gritted her teeth and continued to smile, "The lady is really ingenious!" This look makes the mouth tongue happy! Of course, what is even more rare is the lady's heart, spending the full moon, Qin Se and Ming, isn't it the lady and Her Royal Highness! ”
Nangong said in his heart while snorting, "Lady, why don't you let the restaurant redo it!" ”
Sun Mo looked at Nangong in surprise, and re-acquainted himself with his unchanging kung fu.
Nangong glanced at the prince's face and continued, "Today's moonlight is intoxicating, and the best way to enjoy the moon is in a high place, between heaven and earth, with a mighty breeze; secondly, at the water's edge, the water and milk are blended, heaven and earth; Again in the lace, the dark fragrance floats, and the moon shadow is swaying. Master Sun, don't you say? Where is Lord Sun admiring the moon tonight? ”
Sun Mo was a little inexplicable, didn't the prince say that he would delay everyone's holiday as soon as he came today, and discuss business tonight?
It's just that the prince really listened to these words. "Flowers are good and the moon is full" and "Qin Se and Ming", the prince's heart is soft into a puddle of spring water. Where can I admire the moon? Before the moon? High-rise poolside? Not to mention, Nangong is also quite interesting. There is just such a place in the East Palace, called "Who to sit with", it is said to be in a high place, but it leads a stream of living water up, and flowers are planted all around, and there is a laurel tree by the water.
The prince thought about it and hugged Xue Ke to admire the moon, and his mood couldn't help but feel comfortable. It's just that he still has a straight face
"Okay, let's go back first after eating the mooncakes! Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, Nangong also wants to accompany your many aunts to enjoy the moon, isn't it? ”
Nangong pouted in his heart, the prince did not forget to damage him in front of the lady at any time, and said with a wry smile, "Thank you for your compassion!" ”
Sun Mo was upright, and arched his hand and said, "That Weichen retired first." As for the funeral of King Qin that His Royal Highness had just ordered, the minister would go to the Ministry of Rites tomorrow to discuss. ”
I only heard a loud "bang". Then there was another loud bang.
Su Zhengtang fell silent instantly.
The first sound was the sound of the lid of the food box falling in Xue Ke's hand, and the second sound was the sound of the teacup in Nangong's hand falling.
Nangong obviously wanted to cover up Xue Ke, and said with an embarrassed smile, "There was a sudden gust of wind just now, no, there was a cold war, and the teacups fell off." The lady was also shocked, right? ”
It's just that Xue Ke didn't seem to understand Nangong's kindness, stared at Sun Mo and asked again, "King Qin's funeral?" What funeral? ”
Sun Mo was a little puzzled, looking at the prince's face that instantly turned cold, and then at Nangong who was desperately glaring, hasn't His Royal Highness the prince always trusted Tang Niang the most? Why didn't you tell her about this kind of thing?
Although Sun Mo felt that something was wrong, Xue Ke approached and asked again, and he said stubbornly, "A month ago, the King of Qin disappeared on the battlefield in eastern Zhejiang, and there was no news from many searches, and the emperor has issued a royal decree to let the Ministry of Rites prepare for the funeral." ”
"He's dead?" Xue Ke asked in confusion, turned around and walked towards the prince, and asked for verification, "Is he dead?" ”
The crown prince didn't respond, Xue Ke turned around and walked towards Nangong, "He's dead?" ”
Nangong said worriedly, "Lady! He motioned for Ah Liu to come over quickly.
Ah Liu held Xue Ke, Xue Ke pulled Ah Liu's sleeve and asked, "He's dead?" ”
Ah Liu said softly, "Lady, let's go back first." ”
Xue Ke's footsteps were vain, allowing Ah Liu to take her out half-hugged and half-armed, and when she crossed the threshold, she was careless and tripped to the ground.
Ah Liu went to help her, she looked up at Ah Liu in a daze, and suddenly said, "How could he die?" ”
Xue Ke didn't know how he got back to Baopu Courtyard. Her heart was empty, as if a piece had been hollowed out.
Ah Liu said something in her ear, and when she returned to Baopu Courtyard, Mama Zhang seemed to say something again, but she couldn't hear it clearly. She only heard someone repeating "King Qin is dead" in her ears, the voice was deafening, and she shook her head desperately, trying to get rid of the voice.
She threw up "wow".
I could only hear a mess around me.
"The lady vomited blood! Go get a towel! ”
"Hurry up and get a doctor!"
"Mama Zhang, what should I do?"
She wanted to say, "You're so noisy!" But he fell asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If a person is genuinely good to someone, no matter what, he can feel it.
Ah Que is really good to her, she knows it, her father knows it, and her mother knows it.
Because Ah Que deceived her identity as the third prince, she stayed at home for a long time after the polo club and didn't go out.
Ah Que couldn't see her, so he changed his way to write to her, and sent it to Miss Toshi, sandwiched it in the delivery boxes of various stores, and sent it over the wall. King Qin's words were handsome, Xue Ke looked at his letter, and when she finally relented, General Xue returned.
Aunt Fang gave birth to a son. Mrs. Xue cried with joy.
General Xue also breathed a sigh of relief, he had no children under his knees for many years, and he was about to become a heart problem for Mrs. Xue. Now that Madame is relaxed, he is happy too.
What made him even happier was Xue Ke's astonishing remarks about the "three princes who are not rare" in the palace, as soon as he returned to the capital, he heard these anecdotes about Xue Ke, and slapped his thigh happily. The only regret is that my daughter didn't personally appreciate the style of the polo club, and she actually left at the last moment and didn't win the polo club!
But whose girl can play and hold on to the last game, and the three princes and the seven princes are on a par with them! General Xue has proudly said it countless times among his subordinates.
So when Xue Keyou hesitated and shyly ran to his study, saying that he was in love with the third prince, General Xue's face couldn't be hung up, and he said heavy words to his daughter on the tip of his heart for the first time.
Xue Ke had never suffered such a grievance, Douda's tears came out of his face, and he ran out of the study crying.
The entire Xue Mansion was shocked.
Xue Keman thought that his father would come to coax her in just one night, but this time he really didn't, and he was rarely surprised by his father.
She's just wayward, not ignorant. I also know a summary of the things in the court. Daddy is a hardcore princeling, and Ah Que is afraid that he has the intention of taking the heir.
But it was the first time she liked someone like this, and she was full of joy at him, and she didn't care about anything else, and she thought that she could be the enemy of the whole world.
It was the same with Ah Que at that time. So full of confidence, he came to see General Xue alone.
General Xue looked at the three princes in front of him. If it weren't for the difference in political views, he would be willing to applaud. The silver bead crown belt, the white python robe, and even the dragon with teeth and claws embroidered with gold thread on his chest also looked elegant on him. Young but not humble or arrogant, he also has the momentum of looking down on the world.
Such a character is deeply liked by the emperor, how can he be willing to be subordinate?
General Xue let him to the study. Hearing the sound of his daughter listening to Suo Suo lying at the door, he didn't stop it.
The third prince gave him a salute. General Xue stepped out of the way unhurriedly and said, "Heaven and earth, monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, and brothers, all have their own duties, His Royal Highness is the king, and Xue is the minister, how can there be a king to give courtesy to the minister?" ”
