Hu Qingyun said so, and Qin Bishu was embarrassed to put the calculation in his heart on the table. He hesitated for a moment and said, "That's it." My sister will be with Brother Hong for a while, and then I'll think about it carefully. ”

So Xia Yan and Qin Bishu stayed in the mansion.

As a courtesy, Qin Bishu should go to the princess to say goodbye. handed over the post to Cuiwei Yuan, and it didn't take long for the princess to summon her.

Qin Bishu hurriedly cleaned up and put on a full set of hair and face, so as not to lose face in front of the princess.

When she came, Yixuan had just finished lunch and rinsed her mouth with tea before calling her in. Qin Bishu is very polite, and without raising her eyebrows, she directly gave Yixuan a big salute, and Yixuan hurriedly asked Shuang'er to help her up and give her a seat.

Yi Xuan glanced at Qin Bishu, and suddenly became suspicious, feeling that she seemed to be a person, and then thought of her surname Qin ......

"You and Princess Duan are relatives?"

Qin Bishu smiled and agreed: "Princess Duan is my sister-in-law." ”

I see.

Yi Xuan has never figured out what the connection between Princess Duan and Hu Qingyun will be, it turns out that the key lies in Qin Bishu!

"I heard that Lord Xia is returning to Beijing to report on work, how can you have time to come to Ganzhou?" Yi Xuan asked lightly.

"I'm not in a hurry to go back to Beijing to report on work, but my cousin, I haven't seen him for a few years. Her brother said to come and see, and I thought it was good, so I brought my child with me. ”

Yixuan originally thought that Xia Yan had any intentions on this trip, but after listening to Qin Bishu's explanation, there seemed to be no problem.

Maybe she's too careful.

Yixuan smiled and asked, "How old is the child?" Why don't you bring it to the palace and let the palace take a look? ”

At the mention of children, the corners of Qin Bishu's mouth raised, "It's only five years old." The children were noisy, afraid of disturbing the princess's purity. If the princess wants to see him, next time I will let the nurse bring her. ”

Yixuan nodded and said to Shuang'er: "Bring the golden Yingluo with the baby play lotus pattern inlaid with tourmaline and give it to Mrs. Qin." ”

Qin Bishu hurriedly stood up and excused herself: "The princess is too polite. How can he afford this as a child? ”

"It's okay, it's just a greeting gift." Yixuan comforted her.

Qin Bishu saw her faint eyebrows, I was afraid that she wouldn't take this thing to heart, if she insisted on refusing to accept it, she would look petty, so she didn't shirk anymore, and accepted it after saying a few more thanks.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Xia Yan was in a hurry to go to Beijing to discuss with his wife about leaving.

Qin Bishu was reluctant to have a child, and cried all night, and his eyes were swollen when he woke up the next day. reluctantly accompanied his son for a morning before he gave up ruthlessly.

Of course, she didn't give her son to Hu Qingyun for nothing, and the two made an agreement that Qin Bishu could visit Brother Hong once every six months, and Hu Qingyun could not stop her.

The two signed and drew the pledge, and Qin Bishu was more down-to-earth.

Brother Hong made Hu Qingyun very troubled.

Qin Bishu walked quietly without telling Brother Hong, Brother Hong didn't notice it in the afternoon, and when it was night, the little short legs ran all over the entire Zhilan Courtyard, and he didn't see his mother, he cried loudly, and the tears never broke, Hu Qingyun coaxed him for a long time, Brother Hong didn't pay attention to him at all, and then he was tired of crying and fell asleep on his stomach.

"Hurry up and quietly, take Brother Hong back to his house. Nurse, take good care of it, and tell me if there is any situation. ”

Hu Qingyun wiped the sweat on his head and pressed it to the center of his eyebrows.

Brother Hong is like this, it's a headache.

It's hateful that Qin Bishu has to come once every six months, this is because I can't see Brother Hong getting along with her, so I have to run to remind Brother Hong - I am your mother, what kind of thing is this woman?

She couldn't stop Qin Bishu from coming, after all, Princess Duan still remembered it.

If this continues, it is not a long-term solution after all.

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard someone call her: "Sister, what's wrong?" Didn't Brother Hong leave with his mother? Who is Fang Cai's cry? ”

The person who came was Li Jingyan. Since the last time the princess mentioned her, she was no longer bored in the room, doing what she had to do, and behaving no differently than usual.

Li Jingyan shook her fan and sat down, looking at Hu Qingyun with a curious expression.

"Brother Hong didn't leave. I plan to keep Brother Hong by my side, and I have the right to relieve my boredom. Hu Qingyun straightened his veil and nodded in the direction of Brother Hong's house.

"Really?" Li Jingyan was a little surprised.

"Hmm." Hu Qingyun took a sip of the mung bean soup sent by his subordinates, and said as if unintentionally: "The days I married to the palace are not short, and I have not been pregnant yet." After a few years of old age and decay, there is no hope. I just want to have a child by my side and life won't be so boring. ”

Li Jingyan was stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help touching her stomach. She remembered what the doctor had told her today......

"What's wrong?" Hu Qingyun looked at her face wrong.

Li Jingyan hurriedly packed up her thoughts and said, "My sister takes care of the huge palace, and she can't be busy, will she still feel bored?" ”

"How can that be the same?" Hu Qingyun glanced at her with a smile, and then pointed to the mung bean soup in front of her and said, "Why don't you drink it?" Freshly chilled, it's good to relieve the heat. ”

Li Jingyan glanced at the mung bean soup in front of her with some embarrassment, "Forget it." I've been getting a little pantothenic acid lately, so I don't eat cold. ”

"That's right." Hu Qingyun nodded and instructed his subordinates: "Change to a bowl of warm." ”

"No, I don't. I'll go back first. Sister rests early. Li Jingyan got up and took two steps back, smiled and turned to leave.

Hu Qingyun smiled and swallowed the soup slowly.

Recently, Li Jingyan's attitude towards her has been very subtle. It seems to be no different from before, always smiling and grinning, and often comes to sit with her, but never as close as before.

Every time she wanted to talk to Li Jingyan about herself, Li Jingyan would find an excuse to avoid it.

But Li Jingyan has no contact with the princess, and Li Jingyan rarely goes to Cuiwei Courtyard. The princess was even more bored in the house all day, not knowing what to do.

So she thought that Li Jingyan's transformation was related to Zhuang Liu's death.

The death of the dealer's mother and son has been completely erased by her, and there is no evidence to prove that she did it. Except for the maid she sent to poison the mother and son of the Zhuang family, she has not yet been found.

Probably dead.

Li Jingyan walked out of Zhilan Courtyard and walked for a while before stopping.

She was going to Cuiwei Courtyard, but when she heard the movement here in Zhilan Courtyard halfway, she went to Zhilan Courtyard first.

"Fortunately, the master didn't tell Concubine Hu about it, and the slave was scared to death just now." Song Ju clutched her chest, with a frightened expression, "The master should go to the princess to discuss, no one can call the shots in this matter except the princess." ”

Li Jingyan glared at her: "I don't think you should serve me, serve the princess." ”

Song Ju swore an anxious gambling curse: "The slave maid took care of the master on the order of the lady, if there is the slightest disloyalty, immediately ask the thunder to kill the slave and maid!" The slave and the maid are dedicated to the master, and the master still suspects the slave and the maid like this, how about the slave and the maid? ”

Li Jingyan saw that she was excited, and she was not interested, so she stopped talking and said, "Let's go." ”

The two walked in the direction of Cuiwei Courtyard.

Yixuan is in retreat these days, not for anything else, but to find out the accounts of the house. Mama Lai also helped. Cuiwei Courtyard crackles the abacus during the day, and the candle flame is lit until the second watch at night, and it is busy in full swing.

The hard work paid off, and sure enough, more than a dozen housekeepers and bankers who had interests with Hu Qingyun were involved, most of the money went into Hu Qingyun's pocket, and the rest were those housekeepers and bankers themselves, and there was very little money that was really included in the officials.

Yi Xuan and first held her ground, one is that the prince has not come back yet, and the other is that there must be more than a dozen housekeepers in line with Hu Qingyun, and she plans to come to a pot.

"Master, Concubine Li is here." Vanilla came in and said.

Yi Xuan looked at the account books in the room, and had a headache: "Quick, let's clean up first." ”

The maids acted neatly, and in the blink of an eye, they cleaned up the ledger and put it in the box. Yixuan was already sitting on the kang and drinking tea leisurely.

After Li Jingyan entered the house, she didn't notice anything unusual.

"Sit."

Li Jingyan was preoccupied, and was supported by Song Ju to sit opposite Yixuan. Li Jingyan glanced at Shuang'er and asked, "Can the concubine talk to the princess alone?" ”

"Shuang'er is the personal maid of the palace, and she won't tell anyone what you say."

"It's not." Li Jingyan's face darkened, "In front of others, the concubine can't speak." ”

Yixuan looked at her in surprise, when she first talked about Zhuang Liu, she didn't "can't say it", what could be more embarrassing than this?

Without too much hesitation, Yixuan said to Shuang'er: "You go down." ”

Shuang'er was very vigilant: "That Song Ju will also go down with me." ”

Li Jingyan nodded in agreement.

So only Yixuan and Li Jingyan were left in the house.

Yixuan calmly drank tea and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I'm pregnant."

"......" Yixuan almost squirted the tea in her mouth.

Yes, pregnant?

In her impression, Zhao Zhen has never pampered Li Jingyan, where did she come from?

Shouldn't it be the worst one?

Yi Xuan looked puzzled: "It's common for the water to arrive late, you wait patiently for a few days, maybe you'll come?" ”

Li Jingyan stared at her, her eyes were faint but persistent: "The doctor diagnosed, I have been pregnant for more than a month. ”

Yixuan froze.

It seems that she guessed correctly, this is Zhuang Liu's child.

Zhuang Liu and Li Jingyan met almost a month or two ago.

Li Jingyan lowered her head, looked at her belly gently, put one hand on her stomach, and said, "I want to give birth to this child." ”

Yi Xuan vetoed almost without thinking: "No! ”

"Why?" Li Jingyan's eyes were a little confused.

"Do you need this to be told to you?" Yi Xuan frowned and said solemnly: "You are the side concubine of the prince, you can only give birth to a child who is connected to the prince's blood, don't even think about it." ”

Li Jingyan's lips moved, "There is no other way?" ”

"Yes. Unless the prince divorces you. ”

Li Jingyan's expression was gloomy, she struggled for a while, and decided ruthlessly: "Then let the prince leave me, no matter what, I must give birth to this child." ”

Yixuan thought she was crazy.

The child was born without a father and in the shackles of shame. If the child's grandfather, that is, the Marquis of Anding, can tolerate him.

What if you can't even tolerate the Marquis of Stability?

Could it be that Li Jingyan wants to sleep on the street with her children?
