Chapter 253: Jane's False Suspicion
"At that time, the first people to see were the boatmen, and they were the ones who carried the people ashore." It's just that Yuelan didn't mention this matter, but when she mentioned it, Jian Xubai frowned slightly, even if she usually went to the lake to meet floating corpses, it was very unlucky, not to mention that Song Yixiao was pregnant?
He didn't want to touch it at all, and when he heard the words, he groaned slightly, so he said to the moon lantern, "As for us, we just happened to meet and sent a sentence, and we were also confused about the ins and outs." Now that there are a lot of things in the house, I am injured and unable to travel, so let's go with them with the boatmen! ”
When Yuelan heard this, she went to talk to the people of Yiwang's Mansion - the man was naturally dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to go back with the boatman to resume his life.
I don't know how he explained to Yiwangfu, anyway, he didn't send anyone to mention this matter, but only sent a gift a few days later, which was regarded as thanking them for helping to salvage the Shao family.
The young couple were parents for the first time, and their hearts were occupied by the flesh and blood in their wombs, so they had nothing to do with it - after accepting the gift, they casually cared about what happened to the Shaw Brothers, and when they saw that the people who came were hesitant, they didn't seem to want to say much, and they didn't bother to ask, so they found a reason to serve tea and send off guests, which was considered to be the end of the matter.
But what I didn't expect was that the next day, King Liang suddenly came to visit, and when chatting with Jian Xubai, he inadvertently talked about King Yi's mansion: "In the past two days, the mountains have been talking about it, saying that our sister-in-law Shao died a strange death." I heard that you ordered someone to get her from the lake, do you know the inside story? ”
Jian Xubai was surprised: "At that time, people couldn't see it at all, how did I know that it was Cousin-in-law Shao?" It was only the day after I came back that someone from the Yiwang Mansion came to look for me, and I didn't know until I knew that Hui Shanyao had just been diagnosed with a pregnancy, and of course we had to stay away from this kind of thing, so we only went with the boatmen for a while, and as for what was going on, we didn't inquire at all! ”
"The explanation from Yiwangfu is that Sister-in-law Shao has always had the disease of night travel, and the maid who was just in time to keep vigil was lazy again, so she asked her to go out and fell into the lake." King Liang picked up the tea bowl with sweet white glaze and gold-painted folded pomegranate and blew it, took a sip, and said, "As for whether it is true or not, only the people of Yiwangfu know!" ”
Jian Xubai was not interested in this matter, but since King Liang mentioned it, he said casually: "This statement is far-fetched, I remember Cousin-in-law Shao's appearance at the time, but she didn't just drown." Since they know that she has nocturnal wandering syndrome and is gone, don't the people on the left and right tell Uncle Wang and her cousin so that they can gather people to find her? ”
"Uncle Yijing only went at the beginning of the year, and the Yiwang Mansion is still guarding filial piety." King Liang reminded, "So my cousin and sister-in-law Shao have been sleeping in separate rooms since the wake of the spirit, and they don't usually take care of each other - my aunt is kind and loving, so I don't need to ask for peace in the usual way." After Shao's sister-in-law disappeared, the people who served her were afraid of taking responsibility, so they teamed up to hide the news, planning to quietly find someone to atone for their sins. As a result, I didn't find it for a few days, and I knew that something might have happened, so I didn't dare to say it! ”
King Yijing is the prince nicknamed "quail", and the word "respect" after the king's name is his nickname, which is a better nickname, and it is taken as "night vigilance and respect" - it can be regarded as beautifying his measures of carefully closing the door and living a life before his death.
"These people are bold!" Hearing this, Jian Xubai sneered casually, and said, "It's also my aunt and cousin who are kind and indulge them so lawless!" ”
He felt that it was really bad to keep talking about dead people when there were pregnant women in the family, so he opened the topic with such a sentence, "The medicinal diet made by Aunt Yun two days ago said that it was excellent for the fetus, and it was refreshing to look at, why don't you copy a recipe later?" ”
King Liang came to the door today to send some things to Song Yixiao for Princess Liang - originally this kind of movement between female dependents didn't need him to run errands for a prince, but King Liang happened to be idle and had nothing to do, and remembered Jian Xubai's arm injury, so he walked away in person.
Now that Jian Xubai mentioned the medicinal diet prescription, it can be regarded as repaying the peach on behalf of his wife.
"Speaking of the princess's pregnancy, two days ago, after the imperial doctor asked for a pulse, the concubine asked, and the concubine said that it was very likely to be a male fetus." But these words made King Liang think of something, put the tea bowl on the table, and said with a smile, "But I don't know the birth of my brother and sister, do you know the result?" ”
Jian Xubai didn't care and said: "Aunt Yun said that the days are still shallow, and they can't be broken." But it doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman, as long as the body is strong. ”
"That's what I thought too." King Liang explained, "But if the first child is a son-in-law, not only can the wife breathe a sigh of relief, but also be able to settle down in the backyard!" Especially for those of us who have titles that can be passed on to their heirs, if the eldest son is not a descendant, he will not be beautiful after all. ”
After the latter sentence was spoken, King Liang suddenly woke up and lost his words - doesn't this tell the root of the current struggle for the crown?!
If the crown prince is not only the eldest son, but also the son-in-law, even if the younger brothers under him gradually grow up, how easy is it to threaten his position? After all, since ancient times, the concept of the preciousness of the elder has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and sometimes even the Ninety-Five Supreme can't oppose it, let alone others?
Helplessly, the prince is a concubine, as a younger brother, although King Liang will be an unintentional word, if it is spread out, it is not a good thing, just when he was embarrassed, Jian Xubai said in time: "Then I want to congratulate His Royal Highness in advance on getting a noble son!" ”
King Liang breathed a sigh of relief, his heart moved, but he said: "Now the first child of the two of us has not landed, mine already knows that most of them are boys, if the younger brother and sister are pregnant with a girl, it is better to kiss and kiss later, what do you think?" ”
"The children haven't landed, it's too early to say this, right?" Jian smiled and said, "What's more, no one can say for sure about marriage, in my opinion, it's better to go with the flow!" ”
Liang Wangyuan was just impulsive, and he didn't have the intention of marrying him, but when he said this, he didn't insist, chatted a few more words, copied a few copies of the medicinal diet recipe that Aunt Yun gave to Song Yixiao, and then left.
After he left, Jian Xubai pondered for a while, and beckoned Ji Su: "Go and inquire about the relationship between King Liang and his wife during this time!" ”
Ji Su Fang had been waiting by his side, and he was slightly surprised when he heard this: "Do you suspect His Royal Highness King Liang ......?"
"Before Uncle Yijing died, it was King Liang who was ordered by the prince to meet him." Jian Xubai groaned, "Two days ago, we encountered a floating corpse in the lake, and when we fished it up, we found that it was the daughter-in-law of Uncle Yijing, the current Princess Yi, but King Liang came to the door again today to mention this matter - there have been two different things in King Yi's Mansion for so many years, and there is his shadow, which is too coincidental!" ”
Furthermore, "When Uncle Yijing went earlier, Princess Liang made that confusion, if it weren't for Shanyaonian pulling her late sister's sake, it is estimated that she would have died violently." Then King Liang was moved to her in public, and Princess Liang was not a magnanimous person, how could there be no gap between this husband and wife? Now King Liang is willing to run errands for his wife in person, but I can't help but think about it! ”
"But even if His Royal Highness King Liang has done something to King Yi's Mansion, why should he test you?" Ji Su was puzzled, "You never planned to care about the affairs of the Yi Palace!" And this attitude is very clear in a vain way.
Jian Xubai groaned: "After all, I was the one who fished the floating corpse ashore that day, maybe he was afraid that I accidentally saw something that I shouldn't see?" Anyway, you go check it out, after all, although I played with King Liang for a while when I was in the palace before, but after returning from Wuhuan, I was estranged, and I can't be sure of his current personality and temperament, so it's better to be safe! ”
When Ji Su heard this, he said awe-inspiringly: "Slave maid, let's do it!" ”
However, the result of his inquiry was that the relationship between King Liang and his wife has been very good recently-even the palace people around Cui Guifei talked about it, saying that Cui Guifei loved Princess Liang for the sake of King Liang, and Princess Liang was not a virtuous and sensible person, so she was quite upset for a while.
A few days ago, when the imperial doctor asked Princess Liang for a pulse, the reason why the concubine asked about the sex of the fetus was because she didn't like Princess Liang and wanted to use this method to put pressure on her, but she didn't want to make Princess Liang more and more arrogant!
"The slave maid thought, at the beginning of the year, although there was a discord between King Liang and his wife, but in the end, they were married and now have children, maybe those rifts have been bridged before?" After Ji Su told all the results he heard, he guessed, "After all, they are first-time parents - especially two days ago, Princess Liang was found to be a male fetus by the imperial doctor, even if His Royal Highness King Liang still has some mustard for the princess, but he always has to give face to the biological mother of his eldest son, right?" ”
Jian Xubai heard the word "heir", and thought of the ecstasy when his husband and wife knew that they would become parents - the relationship between the two of them was good, and he thought that he was also doting on his wife, but after learning that Song Yixiao was pregnant, this favor was so much that he was afraid of falling in his hand and afraid of melting in his mouth.
is also a father-to-be, he can be happy to this extent, King Liang loves the house and Wu, and he is full of love and pity for the princess, but it is not impossible.
Thinking of this, Jian Xubai couldn't help but laugh secretly that he was affected by the conversation with Gu Shao that night, and his suspicion became more and more serious!
He shook his head, put down his suspicions about King Liang, took out a classic book on his desk, and continued to think about what kind of name to give his child - this should be a common hobby of expectant parents, at this moment in the backyard, Song Yixiao was also talking to Jiang Muyao, who came to see her, and said: "Among the names that my husband thought of yesterday, two are not bad, but they are both boys' names, in case they are born girls, then they are not needed!" ”
Jiang Muyao hadn't left the cabinet yet, so she naturally couldn't understand their excitement, and teased when she heard the words: "The child will not come into the world next year, you will take a bunch of names every day, this is too early, right?" ”
He also said, "What's more, if Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, or even Her Majesty and the Queen Mother want to give a name, the name you think of is in vain!" ”
"You'll know when you're pregnant after you get married!" Song Yi smiled and slapped her with a fan, and said, "Since you are not interested, then I won't tell you - I was about to ask you, it's been a few days, and you haven't gone back to Zhuangzi yet, but you don't plan to leave?" ”
Jiang Muyao understood what she really wanted to ask, but she sighed, looked left and right, and waited for Song Yixiao to order everyone to go out before she said, "I really don't plan to go to Zhuangzi for the time being, but this is not a good thing." ”
She bit her lip and said with a wry smile, "Because Yuan Lang ...... He...... He has recently asked someone to say goodbye, and the requirements are not high, he is a virtuous and good family, with good character, he doesn't mind that he is disabled, and it is nothing if he is from a low background! In the end, it is a hereditary marquis, and his character and appearance are so good, with such loose conditions, there are more people who want to marry him, and they are almost at the foot of the mountain in the past two days! ”
Song Yixiao has been concentrating on raising a fetus these days, and she doesn't know about it at all, and she doesn't know what to say when she hears it, so she has to sigh and say, "Then what are you going to do?" ”
"What can I do?" Jiang Muyao said gloomily, "My family has always refused to let go - when I came here two days ago, my family specially sent someone to accompany me to find him, but it was so that I could hear his refusal again!" This time he persuaded me to stay in the mountains, just to let me see him marry with my own eyes! It's just that I really don't want to leave, and I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, I'm evil: I prayed quietly when I had time for the past two days, and his kiss didn't go well, like me, even if I talked about it, it wouldn't be ......."
She laughed self-deprecatingly, "Although I know that even if he doesn't get married for the time being, he may not marry me - but as long as he doesn't get married for a day, I always feel that I still have a chance!" ”
Song Yixiao stretched out her hand and patted the back of her hand to show comfort, and was about to say something to persuade her, but Li Yu outside took a post and came in to say: "Madam, the Hou Shizi of Fuyang sent someone to send an invitation, saying that the eighth day of the next month is the birthday of Her Royal Highness the Acting Princess, please go with your grandfather!" ”
