Nika's Hate (2)
Chapter 139: Nika's Hate (2)
Xichen went to Chen Palace to see Shen Wan, it was raining, and the rain in late spring was endless. Shen Wan made him a pot of tea, and the two sat under the window while drinking tea and listening to the rain.
The drizzle wet the screen window, and a few bits of rain fell in, Shen Wan only felt a slight coldness on her face, squinted her eyes, and saw the flowers in the courtyard withered by the rain. The petals were scattered on the damp dirt around them, and the pink petals were wet with the mud.
Shen Wan sighed quietly, Xichen held the white jade tea bowl with a peach pattern, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed gently, inside was Shifeng Longjing, and the tea was fragrant.
"What? Now it's time to sigh for the broken flowers? He said with a playful smile.
Shen Wan glanced at him lightly, and said coldly: "Maybe one day, I will be like that remnant flower, wet by the rain and fall into the mud, right?" ”
Xichen's face did not change, and he laughed softly: "How come?" ”
Shen Wan was silent, Xichen put down the teacup, put her hand on Shen Wan's hand, and said after a while: "That day, I was so angry that I shouldn't have beaten you." ”
His tone was unusually gentle, and Shen Wan had to look at him a few more times.
His complexion was calm, his eyes were dark, and he looked indifferent.
Really, can it be so indifferent? He's not a good apologetic.
Shen Wan withdrew her hand and said lightly: "Forget it." ”
The rain outside the window gradually became a little heavier, and the trickling sound also turned into a loud noise, hitting the eaves of the window and sliding down, like a rain curtain.
Both of them were silent for a while, and Xichen suddenly said, "Wanwan, we want a child, right?" ”
Shen Wan's face froze, and the last lost child was still a pain in her heart.
She was pampered and went with the flow, did not drink the decoction, and did not do anything - she did not want his child, fortunately she never conceived, probably because the last miscarriage caused some damage to her body.
She didn't show resistance, but said: "This kind of thing, of course, is natural, how can it be forced?" ”
Xichen saw that she had no objection, so she said: "There is a good gynecology doctor in the Tai Hospital, let him diagnose your pulse and prescribe some medicine to eat?" ”
Shen Wan lowered her head, bit her lip, and when she raised her head again, she smiled slightly: "Okay." ”
Her thoughts went back to last night, and she asked about the eldest son's homework and food and clothing, and Cui Shanggong reminded her: "It's better for Niangniang to give birth to the prince as soon as possible." ”
She frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Giving birth to a prince? How easy is it to say? ”
Cui Shanggong lowered his head and said: "Niangniang is still young...... she didn't know about Shen Wan's previous miscarriage, but she also planned for Shen Wan, "The emperor's eldest son is already four years old, and the emperor has no other son, the position of the crown prince needs to be set early, otherwise it will ......"
Shen Wan suddenly interrupted her: "I feel disgusting!" ”
She looked up in surprise and asked, "What?" ”
Shen Wanwu smiled to herself and said, "I feel disgusted to do that with him again." ”
Cui Shanggong had to ask, "Why?" ”
Shen Wan's expression was a little sad, and she said in a low voice: "Because, the dynasty is back, if he dies, I don't contradict others, but he is not dead, he is still alive, and he is in King Yi's mansion...... He's so close to me, and I'm ...... I'm going to ...... with another man I...... Feel disgusting! ”
Cui Shanggong didn't answer her immediately, and after a long silence, he said, "Does Niangniang want to spend this life in the cold palace?" ”
"Teacher, you ......"
"Niangniang thinks it's possible not to be close to the emperor?" She continued, "Niangniang doesn't want to be close, the emperor will force you, Weichen...... It's not that I haven't heard of the situation of you and the Twelve Princes being captured after escaping, and on those days, Niangniang still wants to try? Or did he really disgust the emperor and really enter the cold palace and live for the rest of his life? ”
Shen Wan laughed self-deprecatingly: "That way, it's also clean!" ”
"It's clean, but it's not the life my mother wants." Cui Shanggong once again took the lead, "Niangniang needs power, she needs revenge for your family, and she needs to inherit the wishes of Sister Ling and Ling Zun...... Maybe revenge has been diluted in Niangniang's heart, but doesn't Sister Ling and Ling Zun's wishes want to be fulfilled? ”
"What wish?"
Cui Shanggong sighed: "Xiangye asked me to teach my mother to learn from the hundred schools of thought in the next house, it is said that it is my own intention, so don't I know what I want?" ”
"But......" Shen Wan smiled bitterly, "I want to be the queen of the Dynasty, not Chu Xichen." ”
"Who's the queen, it's all the queen, Niangniang!" Cui Shanggong smiled faintly, "Niangniang is about destined in this life, she will only be the queen, not anyone's wife." ”
Shen Wan's heart suddenly burst into shape, and she looked at her with blazing eyes: "Does the teacher know anything else?" ”
Cui Shanggong lowered his head and said: "What Weichen said is all for the mother." ”
Shen Wan stared at her and said, "My father once asked someone to help our brothers and sisters approve their lives, and the teacher was still in the house at that time, right?" I've been thinking about why my father wants to hunt down and kill the teacher, it won't be just a simple reason to teach my sons and hundreds of schools, it should be ...... There's something else I don't know, right? ”
Cui Shanggong did not speak, but bowed deeply.
Shen Wan sighed and said, "Since you don't want to say it, forget it." She suddenly sneered, and said, "The teacher is right, I can't escape, even if I feel disgusting, just let myself be disgusted!" ”
So, she decided not to resist Chu Xichen anymore.
Because there is no way to resist, and even if it does, the result will still be the same, or even worse.
But today he said, want a child?
Shen Wan wants to have a child, but not with him!
She can't openly disobey and go against him, and she has to drink the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, but ...... I had to think of a way to keep her from getting pregnant too quickly.
After a few days, Shen Wan took the emperor's eldest son to Qinchun Garden to fly kites, the weather was getting hotter, and it was only more comfortable in the evening, so she changed into a narrow-sleeved skirt and went to Qinchun Garden surrounded by palace people.
After the kite flew up, the eldest son of the emperor pulled the line, and Shen Wan sat on the side and watched from afar.
With a smile on his lips, he remembered that when he was a child, he was naughty with several princes, and the kite hung on the branches, and he volunteered to climb up and pull it, and almost wrestled.
"See Lord Yi." The palace maid's crisp voice sounded, Shen Wan looked back, and really saw Xi Chao, who was dressed in a vermilion purple court dress, standing there quietly, like cultivating bamboo.
"Weichen, see the queen mother." He bent down and saluted, and every word seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
Shen Wan felt a dull pain in her heart, but she still smiled and said: "The prince is exempt, and the prince also has the leisure to come here for a walk?" ”
"I just discussed the court affairs with the imperial brother, and I remembered the scenery here, so I came to take a look." His expression was calm, but he didn't know what was going on in his heart.
"It's unfortunate that the prince came, the world is full of flowers in April, and the flowers in Qinchun Garden, thank you." Shen Wan still had a smile on her lips, and the clouds were light and light.
Xi Chao raised his eyes, glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "Wechen is not here to enjoy the flowers, in the eyes of Wechen, people are more beautiful than flowers." ”
