Chapter 224: Eve
Today is the Yuan Xi Zhou Catch, and because the Queen Mother's side Su Mama and Master Xuanling are in person, the Xu family has been lively for several hours before sending all the in-laws away at three o'clock in the Shen hour.
The last to leave was naturally Xu Nuanwen's family, if it weren't for Ye Jingxing's hard time begging Rui Kangdi, saying that they had been in the palace for many days, missing several sons at home, and hoping to stay in the Five Princes' Mansion outside the palace for one night today, maybe they wouldn't be able to come out today.
Seeing that the lady was reluctant to leave, Ye Jingxing also understood in her heart that she was thinking that the next time she met again, she was afraid that it would be after she ascended the throne.
At that time, even if Mrs. Xu is the mother's mother, she will still salute her.
No matter how much Xu Nuanwen grinded, Mrs. Xu was still unmoved, and she didn't mention leaving her family for dinner.
Therefore, Xu Nuanwen could only leave the Xu family under the urging of her husband and her sons.
After sending all the guests away, Mrs. Xu said that she was tired, and asked Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu to take Yuan Xi back to Shihuan Courtyard to rest, and she didn't have to eat dinner.
The reason why Mrs. Xu said this is that firstly, everything that should be lively has been lively, secondly, Mrs. Xu is really tired, and secondly, Mrs. Xu thinks that she is an old lady, so it is better to let their family of three be happy.
Xu Shiqiu also knows the temperament of Mrs. Xu, there are a lot of ladies from various houses today, although there are sisters-in-law, second sisters-in-law and eldest nephews and daughters-in-law to help receive them, but the mother and the little lady are indeed tired.
What's more, Xu Shiqiu also had something to say to his little lady, so after Mrs. Xu said this, she didn't shirk.
When Xu Shiqiu returned to Shihuan Courtyard with Yuan Xi in one hand and Dong Shu in the other, he saw that the Wang family had already prepared hot water with Ling Xiang and others.
Xu Shiqiu had the heart to bathe with Dong Shu, but Dong Shu directly hugged Yuan Xi and left first, not caring about Xu Shiqiu's fiery eyes staring at him.
Looking at the back of the little lady, Xu Shiqiu raised his eyebrows and smiled.
He has a hunch that starting tomorrow, Jingli is afraid that there will be chaos for a while, so tonight, no matter what, he will have to make trouble with the little lady twice.
After the family bathed and changed, the sky gradually darkened.
However, because of the lot of food at noon today, the family was not very hungry, and after the orders of the masters, the Wang family took the initiative to warm a pot of soup in the small kitchen of Shihuanyuan, and took the noodles rolled by the chef in the big kitchen and the specially wrapped wontons, rice balls and other things in the small kitchen.
Tonight is the Lantern Festival, even if you don't go out to enjoy the lanterns, you won't go to bed so early, so she prepared some food, she arranged it very well.
After confirming that the Wang family had arranged everything in the yard well, Dong Shu asked Mama Yan to go down to rest, took the soft cloth towel herself, and began to wipe Yuan Xi's hair little by little.
Xu Shiqiu looked at the little lady who was carefully wiping her hair for Yuan Xi, thought about it, and said: "Today, a few of us discussed, and then my brother-in-law and I took the time to meet Yan Ye alone, and we both felt that this matter was not simple. ”
Dong Shu didn't understand these things before, but because there were many things at home in recent months, and Xu Shiqiu was not at home before, she gradually understood many things that she didn't understand before.
Now when I hear Xu Shiqiu's words, I know that this is a big deal.
"How?" Dong Shu paused to wipe Yuan Xi's hair in her hand, and before Yuan Xi could raise her head suspiciously, she continued her movements, just looking at Xu Shiqiu's gaze, but she never looked away.
As soon as Xu Shiqiu saw Dong Shu showing such an expression, he immediately spoke: "The matter that several of us discussed first, although we all felt that it was not simple, but no one guessed anything. It's just that I looked at my brother-in-law's expression at the time, but there were a lot of people, so I didn't ask, but everyone discussed it, no matter what they said on the pilgrimage tomorrow morning, or what others said, they all bit Ye Jingche and the Liu family's crimes. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Shiqiu paused for a moment, and after seeing that the soft hair on Yuan Xi's head had been dried by Dong Shu, he reached out and hugged Yuan Xi into his arms, and then continued: "Later, I thought that my brother-in-law's expression was a little wrong, and I was just about to talk to him in private, but who knew that he offered to see Yan Ye. When the two of us met Yan Ye, my brother-in-law told him what he thought. ”
Dong Shu saw Xu Shiqiu taking Yuan Xi away, so he got up and walked to the side, poured a glass of warm water and drank it, and then couldn't wait for Xu Shiqiu to speak, then turned to look at him and said, "You go on." ”
When Xu Shiqiu heard Dong Shu's words, he smiled at her flatteringly: "I'm tired of the lady pouring a glass of warm water for her husband." After saying this, he quickly explained: "After taking a bath and talking so much, I feel that my mouth is very dry. ”
When Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she glared at him helplessly, and then carefully poured most of the cup of warm water, and then sent it to his lips.
After Xu Shiqiu drank most of the glass of warm water, he looked at Dong Shu and continued: "Brother-in-law said that this matter, from beginning to end, he felt that it was very similar to the style of the Seventh Prince Ye Jingde, and he specially asked Yan Ye if he had met Ye Jingde after entering Beijing. ”
"Ye Jingde? The Seven Princes? ”
Dong Shu did not have a deep impression of the seventh prince Ye Jingde, but the sixth prince Ye Jinghui had some contact because of the previous production of his royal concubine.
The main reason was that she met the Liu family at that time, and later because of the Liu family's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the palace, she has always remembered the Liu family deeply.
It's Ye Jingde, the seventh prince, and now she can only remember what she has seen before, but no matter how much, she can't remember.
Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu's expression and guessed that she was afraid that she had no impression of Ye Jingde.
"The Seventh Prince, I didn't know much about him before, but my brother-in-law has always paid attention to him because of the relationship between the two of them, as well as the matter of the Seven Princes' biological mother's calculation of Concubine De's mother. Now that my brother-in-law can tell that it is him, it is not without reason to think about it, but I didn't expect that one Ye Jingche would be solved, and another Ye Jingde would emerge. ”
Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu can understand.
originally thought that after solving Ye Jingche and his brother-in-law ascending the throne, their family would be able to live in peace, but now there is another Ye Jingde, who is not as direct as Ye Jingche, maybe he will make some small moves behind his back.
This is really hard to prevent.
Not only the Xu family's Shihuan Courtyard, but also the Five Princes' Mansion, it is rare to get the permission of the saint, and Ye Jingxing, who came back for a night, also told Xu Nuanwen his guess.
"Lao Qi really has this mind?" Xu Nuanwen is not stupid, after Ye Jingxing said that this matter was like Ye Jingde's usual style, she guessed the reason why Ye Jingde did this.
It's just that she didn't expect that her father-in-law had already obtained the Holy Lord's personal Zen position, and Ye Jingde would dare to make trouble.
"Humph! The seventh thought that the prince's brother was gone, Ye Jingche had an accident, and if such a thing was stabbed out, I would also be implicated, plus the sixth child didn't have this mind, and the princes above were not left with him. Speaking of this, Ye Jingxing glanced at Xu Nuanwen, thought for a while and continued: "Lao Qi looks smart, but he is actually a fool, he doesn't know at all, even if a few of us are gone, my father will not pass the throne to him!" ”
When Xu Nuanwen heard Ye Jingxing's words, she was immediately shocked, and then looked at Ye Jingxing with a little puzzlement.
Ye Jingxing has not hidden Xu Nuanwen since he became married, this will be such a big event, he naturally will not hide it from the smart Xu Nuanwen.
"What did Lao Qi's biological mother do back then, you don't know. Counting Concubine De, but also using this to calculate his father, from the day his father agreed to give him the name 'De', he no longer had the possibility of ascending to that position. Speaking of this, Ye Jingxing paused, and then continued: "When I was serving my father a few days ago, listening to his tone, I seemed to sigh that fortunately I was okay, otherwise he would be ready to pass the throne directly to Uncle Duanwang." ”
Xu Nuanwen didn't expect the saint to have such a thought, but after thinking about it, she understood why he had such a thought.
The saint treats Duanwang's younger brother really well, and unlike the saint, Duanwang may be born in the army, unlike the saint's indecisiveness, and he has a very set of styles.
Although there are also concubines and concubines in Duanwang's mansion, in addition to the eldest daughter who married into the Xu family, the next are the three concubines from Princess Duan.
There were also bold women in Duanwang's house who wanted to kill Duanwang's sister-in-law so that his son could ascend the throne, but after Duanwang found out, he not only immediately executed the woman, but also directly replaced the concubine who had just completed the moon with a biological mother.
Now there is no shortage of sons and grandsons under the knee of King Duan, and the eldest son has four sons under the knee, and they are all quite good.
It is said that King Duan even let out his words that his throne must be passed to the eldest son in the future, so the second son and the third son were thrown into the barracks by him early to polish.
Now both of them have also taken credit, just waiting for the new emperor to be rewarded after he ascends the throne.
As for the concubines, although King Duan is not as good as his sons-in-law, the family property that they should have has been divided a long time ago, and King Duan has also arranged errands according to the situation of each of them.
Now they all have wives and children, and they can't be happy.
The most important point is that King Duan's body is many times better than that of the saint, which is also the main reason why the saint once moved this mind.
It's just that Uncle Duan Wang is unwilling, saying that if he really sits on the throne, then the sons who were originally satisfied with him now will definitely make trouble. Moreover, in the end, it was Uncle Duanwang who strongly recommended me, saying that although I was not as decisive as my ancestors, I had such a decisive helper as you behind me. Speaking of this, Ye Jingxing was also a little embarrassed, but in the end, he still looked at Xu Nuanwen and continued: "Uncle Duanwang also said that with a woman like you who is virtuous and can control me, at least within three generations of the royal family, nothing will happen." ”
Xu Nuanwen didn't expect Ye Jingxing to say these words here, the most important thing is that these words were still spoken by the saint and his own family.
Thinking of her past style of doing things, Xu Nuanwen looked at Ye Jingxing and nodded: "Actually, you are all good, but it is true that you have inherited some of your father's temperament." But you are different from your father, you only have me in your heart. ”
Ye Jingxing looked at the smug look on the lady's face, and felt that he was indeed good.
At a glance many years ago, he fell in love with the Xu family, a flamboyant and smiling daughter.
finally married her back then, and for so many years, because of the accident of the Xu family, he was unable to protect the Xu family, and he has always felt guilty.
But the father and Uncle Duan said that the Xu family is a smart person, and his own lady is also a smart person.
When he ascends the throne in the future, she will definitely not ask for anything for the Xu family, and she will manage the Xu family without asking him what he wants.
So, he must treat her well.
Ye Jingxing could feel that when his father and Uncle Duan Wang said this, it was because of his father-in-law's affairs, but in his heart, he felt that what his father and Uncle Duan Wang said was good.
He knows his lady's temperament very well, just as she also knows him, the two of them are a match made in heaven.
Xu Nuanwen understood Ye Jingxing's expression as soon as she saw him, thinking that there would be a lot of things to do tomorrow morning, she immediately looked at him and said, "Go to bed early, there are still a lot of things tomorrow." ”
Hearing Xu Nuanwen's words, Ye Jingxing suddenly smiled at her, and then without waiting for Xu Nuanwen to react, he directly hugged her and strode towards the bed in the house.
Xu Nuanwen didn't understand what Ye Jingxing was going to do, but she didn't expect that after being married for many years, she could be a grandmother and grandfather, and he would even pick herself up and make the gesture when he was just married.
In the Five Princes' Mansion, Xu Nuanwen and Ye Jingxing were feeling the feeling of being newly married, and Xu Shiqiu of the Xu family had just made trouble with Dong Shu.
Looking at the sleepy little lady in her arms, Xu Shiqiu's heartbeat gradually stabilized.
No matter what will happen in the court tomorrow, he will not allow Ye Jingche and the Liu family to have another chance to escape!
