374 Deliberately difficult

"Young lady, you're awake." Seeing Lin Dongxian open her eyes, Xin Chun shouted happily, her cry attracted Xin Qiu and Xin Dong, they didn't know how distressed Lin Dongxian was, they shouted outside the door for a long time, there was no movement in the house, at first they thought that Lin Dongxian was sleeping in Zhengxiang, but there was no movement for a long time, so frightened that Xin Chun ignored the three of them, kicked the door open, and walked to the bed only to find that Lin Dongxian had fainted.

Invite the doctor, the doctor prescribed Lin Dongxian a calming medicine, the decoction was forced to feed by them, Lin Dongxian woke up, Lin Dongxian waved her hand weakly: "I'm fine, don't worry." I don't know why, I slept groggy, and I vaguely heard Xin Chun and others shouting outside the door, she wanted to open her eyes but couldn't. I'm afraid that Zhou Mingmu brought her too much blow, and she hasn't recovered until now.

Her eyes fell on Xin Xia's face, and her expression of wanting to speak made Lin Dongxian ask, "What's the matter, Xin Xia, is there something wrong?" Xin Dong hurriedly gave her a look and signaled her not to say it, Lin Dongxian's body was just a little better, don't stimulate her anymore. Before leaving, the doctor repeatedly told that for the safety of Lin Dongxian's mother and son, he must not let her be stimulated again.

Why was Xin Xia so uncomposed, Xin Xia replied with a little embarrassment: "Young lady, it's actually nothing." The more she said that the clouds were light and light, the more it meant that something was wrong, Lin Dongxian looked at them quietly and said: "You have been by my side for a long time, you should know my temper very well, I don't like the feeling of being kept in the dark." If there's anything you can tell me, don't be afraid of my body, I'm not so easy to be defeated. ”

Xin Xia seemed to be moved by her, and subconsciously said: "Young lady, the slave maid went to check the little guy next to the second master according to your instructions, I didn't pay attention to it, but in the past few days, I found out that there was a little guy named Sande next to him who was missing." The slave and maid privately bought the little guy next to the second master, and found out that these three virtues were the people who smuggled Qingyan out of the house through the back door that day. ”

It turned out that Lin Dongxian had always been obsessed with Qingyan's death, and even though the county lord of Yingxiu was hateful, he ordered someone to kill Qingyan with a cane. But she didn't believe that Qingyan was this kind of person who had the intention of climbing high branches, and besides, she was a maid of the Chengguo Mansion, how could she climb into Lang Zhongming's bed, there must be a cat in it, so she privately ordered Xin Xia to secretly inquire around Zhou Zhengxing, she always had a hunch that she should be inseparable from Zhou Zhengxing.

"Dong Xian!" A familiar voice sounded outside the door, and before Lin Dongxian could react, Qin Su had already walked in with the support of the palace maid. The ink pupils were faintly rippling, and stroked the jade bracelet on the wrist, like cherry blossoms, the thin lips hooked up a soft smile, the March wind blew the water sleeves, and the smoke and water of the river shone on the face. If you talk about the country, it is not enough to pour the world. But it is Manman's natural posture, eyebrows and eyes, adding some inexplicable melancholy, light makeup and wrapping face, but the plain appearance is better than any lead Hua wearing a light blue dress with a plain color and simple flower decoration, elegant and refined, beautiful and natural.

The pale blue silk tunic is embroidered with dark blue silk threads on the fabric with plum blossoms, extending from the skirt to the waist, adding a bit of cold temperament. He was draped over a light blue open gauze and draped loosely over his shoulders. The cuffs and neckline are bordered with blue silk threads, and the hollow butterfly pattern is just facing the plum blossoms of the middle coat, gently shaking as people move, just like real butterflies fluttering, every move attracts some sparkling and flowing feelings.

The three thousand troubles are twisted into a silk bun, decorated with only a wooden hairpin, with a faint softness and coquettishness. The willow eyebrows are painted with carbon black, which sets off the fair and delicate skin, and the smart eyes are full of brilliance between the eye waves. Applying pink rouge makes the skin appear white and red, and the lips are simply smeared with a light red lip blush, which is delicate and lovely. The afternoon breeze caresses the face and wakes up, the water red Luo skirt embroiders double butterflies, the beaded green silk willow moon bun, and a little red falls into the eyebrows.

Quietly walked to Lin Dongxian's bed, held her hand lightly, looked at each other, and everything was in plain sight. Xin Chun and the others turned around and left knowingly, closing the door and letting Lin Dongxian and Qin Su talk to themselves. "Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's been good lately, has my little nephew made a fuss?"

When Lin Dongxian got along with Qin Su, she didn't have so many burdens, she was very relaxed, Qin Su nodded her head affectionately: "You, you don't want to tell me anything, you always treat me as an outsider." Didn't I tell you a long time ago that I sent someone into the palace to look for me when I encountered something difficult, why did I forget it? As soon as he came, he blamed Lin Dongxian and did not answer her words. When Lin Dongxian heard this, she smiled wryly: "Sister, I haven't encountered anything difficult, really?" ”

"Hmph, you still want to lie to me, don't think that I don't know anything in the palace. It has long been rumored in the capital that the general Zhou Mingmu was unwilling to be lonely at the border and came back with a concubine. Now she is recuperating in her yard, Dong Xian, you are Zhou Mingmu's wife, the child in your womb is his son-in-law, not for yourself, but also for the child in her womb, you must not have a stiff relationship with him.

As for the concubine's room, there is time to deal with her, and you are now focusing all your energy on giving birth to children, do you hear? Qin Su said as she stroked Lin Dongxian's emaciated cheeks distressedly, how could she be indifferent to Zhou Mingmu's bringing Qinglian back. Lin Dongxian curled the corners of her lips, "Sister, I know, thank you sister for your concern, my sister is out of the palace for a trip, I really don't want to go." ”

"What nonsense, see me like this, you, always remember these etiquettes, you can't be so polite with me." Qin Su rarely met a sister who fell in love, hoping that the two of them would not get along with so many identity constraints, and these days she has been making trouble with the emperor for Qinglian's affairs. The emperor finally compromised with her and ordered Lin Dongxian to be canonized as the first lady, which was the prelude.

After the child is born, the child will be canonized, and as for Qinglian, the emperor will execute her when there is a suitable time. Now that Zhou Mingmu is injured, she needs someone to serve her, and Lin Dongxian is pregnant, so she needs someone to serve her at this time. In addition, the emperor can't rashly meddle in the household affairs of his courtiers, and if it is passed on, it will give people a handle, and he needs to plan a little.

Lin Dongxian smiled and nodded incessantly: "Okay, sister, I wrote it down." Come, sister, sit up, isn't it uncomfortable, but don't bend my little nephew. Seeing Qin Su sitting on the edge of the bed, Lin Dongxian moved her butt to the wall and motioned for Qin Su to come up. It didn't take long for the voice of Manager Chang to sound outside the door, the emperor asked him to take Qin Su back to the palace, the time for the sisters to get together was always so short, Qin Su was reluctant to return to the palace.

She was very resistant in her heart, so she kept her head down and kept silent. Lin Dongxian's face sank slightly, and she said in a cold tone: "Sister, you should go back." She was full of reluctance to her, but she couldn't change Qin Su's destination alone, and the palace was her final destination. The emperor can be said to be more favored by her than Empress Pan, and the people have long spread it.

There are even people talking about the fact that in order to pamper Qin Su and the child in his womb, the emperor drove the two princes and a princess born to Empress Pan out of the capital. The eldest prince Zhou Qing was also far away at the border to discuss the peace talks of Yueli Kingdom, and the second prince sent Zhou Qingyou's dowry to Wara to witness the completion of his marriage with Prince Warat. These are all clearing the obstacles for Qin Su and the child in his womb, and at the same time, some people boldly speculate that the child in Qin Su's womb is a prince.

These were still what Lin Dongxian heard Xin Chun tell her, and she originally heard them as a joke, but after thinking about it carefully, it was unreasonable. "Manager Chang, you go and tell the saint, this palace will stay longer." Qin Su's deep voice came into the ears of Manager Chang, and Manager Chang couldn't help but bow down and replied, "Yes, the old slave will go." "Qin Su is now the emperor's top treasure, and he can't afford to offend.

Recently, Wang Shou has become more and more favored, which is the result of Qin Su's kind words for him in front of the emperor. Wang Shou is his apprentice, but he knows how to please Qin Su, the emperor looks down on him a few times, and the connections in his hands are about to be taken away by him. You must not provoke Qin Su's disgust at this juncture now, as long as she blows the pillow wind in the emperor's ear, it will not be good for him.

The emperor had been walking in the hall for a full hour, only to see Qin Su being carefully supported by the palace maid, the emperor immediately got up and walked to Qin Su, holding her hand as if no one was around, and said softly: "Is it cold?" Come and put the cloak on. "Chief Manager Chang was holding the mink cloak that the emperor had ordered him to prepare a long time ago, and the emperor put it on for Qin Su with a wave of his hand. Qin Su coughed lightly twice, and her eyes fell on Lin Dongxian behind her, she came more this time to comfort Lin Dongxian and make her want to open more.

Don't break up with Zhou Mingmu for the matter of concubines, it's not good for their mother and son. I hope Lin Dongxian can listen to her words, and the future will be long, slowly. The emperor really didn't pay attention, Qin Su was still followed by Lin Dongxian, two red clouds floated on his face, he rolled up his hand and put it to his lips and coughed twice, and said, "I'll wait for you in the carriage." Lin Dongxian said with envy in her eyes: "Sister, the saint is so good to you." ”

"Dong Xian, remember what I told you, be patient, don't be impulsive, think about the child in your womb. I'll go see Zhou Mingmu later, do you hear? Qin Su knew that Lin Dongxian was embarrassed like this, but there was no way, she had to do it. Lin Dongxian nodded involuntarily: "Sister, I know, listen to you, I'll go later." Sister, I don't know when I'll see you next time, and my little nephew. ”

While she was stroking Qin Su's lower abdomen, Qin Su's hands were also caressing her bulging lower abdomen. Lin Dongxian wondered why Qin Su's belly was so much bigger than her when she was younger than her. Whether it was because she refused to eat that the child in her womb was small, she became frightened when she thought about it. Suddenly seeing Jiang Feilong beside Manager Chang, Lin Dongxian had an inexplicable surprise, Jiang Feilong also noticed her, nodded and smiled at her.

Jiang Feilong had a life-saving grace for her, and would also bid farewell to the emperor and Qin Su and his party with a smile. Xin Xia helped Lin Dongxian to Qinglian's courtyard, waved her hand and motioned for them all to go down, the maids came out, Lin Dongxian stood by the door, watching Qinglian wiping Zhou Mingmu's cheeks with a wet towel. She didn't know why she felt a sense of rejection, as if she were an outsider.

Qinglian got up for a while and walked out with a basin of water, and saw Lin Dongxian standing by the door, not knowing when she would come. "Sister, no, it should be Madame, why are you here? You should take care of yourself in the yard, husband, you can rest assured, just leave it to me. As he spoke, he walked to the door and poured a basin of water on Xin Xia's body, "Hey, why don't you have long eyes and don't go away." ”

She poured water on Xin Xia's body, and actually blamed Xin Xia for not having long eyes, if Lin Dongxian had given her a slap in the face according to her temper in the past, where would she be connived at like this. But Qin Su's words kept echoing in her ears, she must be restrained, her hands were clenched tightly, and she said lightly: "Why do you bother with a maid, you will lose your identity." ”

"Madame, with your words, I will not say anything. I see that you are not a young month, so you should go back to the house and rest, husband, you should put your heart in your belly, and I will serve him well. No matter how bad it is, there are two imperial doctors left in the palace by the Holy Lord, and they will do their best to heal the husband. Madam, I'm going to give my husband a massage, so I won't talk to you. Qinglian was dressed in a lotus-colored quilt, with a concentric bun on her head, a pearl hosta with a large fingernail, and the bracelet on her hand Why did she feel very familiar.

Seeing Lin Dongxian's gaze fall on her bracelet, Qinglian raised her arm and said with a smile: "Madam, this bracelet is the first gift that my husband gave me. With a hint of arrogance in her words, if Lin Dongxian remembered correctly, this bracelet should be the dowry she gave to Zhou Min, why did she wear it on her hand? Lin Dongxian didn't believe that there was such a coincidence in the world, what did Zhou Min have to do with Qinglian in front of him?

Lin Dongxian had a much bolder guess in her mind, which shocked her so much that her back was wet. couldn't lift her feet to leave, Lin Dongxian suddenly stretched out her hand to Xin Dong behind her, signaling to help her in, Qinglian thought that Lin Dongxian was leaving. Unexpectedly, she walked to the bed again and sat next to Zhou Mingmu.

"Madam, you still listen to me, go back and rest, and leave it to me, husband. If I hurt my wife and my husband blames me, I will inevitably be punished, but Madame should go back quickly. Why are you an errand boy by your wife's side, and you don't think about your wife and children at all? Qinglian gave Xin Dong a cold look.

Xin Dong is not as good as Xin Xia's temper, she immediately retorted: "Aunt Qing, please recognize your identity, Mrs. is the head of the house, you are just a concubine, how can you order Mrs., so ignorant of respect and humility, it seems that Mrs. wants to ask Madam to come back and teach you well, so that you will not go out in the future and ruin the reputation of the Chengguo Mansion!" ”

"This maid's mouth is so powerful, but you keep saying that you want Mrs. to find Mama to teach me the number of respectful and humble etiquette, I think the first thing to teach is you! Where do you subordinates intervene in the master's words, madam, I'm not easy to bully, this maid has your backing, and actually accuses me in front of a lot of subordinates, where do you let me put my face! How to gain a foothold in the Chengguo Mansion in the future, madam, you must be the master for me! Qinglian took out the silk handkerchief in her sleeve to wipe the tears dripping from her eyes as she spoke, Xin Xia glared at Xin Dong complaining, who made her unable to help it, and let Qinglian grab the handle for a while, so as to embarrass Lin Dongxian.
