Chapter 579: Your Daughter-in-law Didn't Give Birth
On April 22, Qingzhou was in turmoil, Qingzhou prefect Wang Qi died in the war, and Zhizhou Mu Gongyi temporarily took the post of prefect, handling official affairs and pacifying the people.
At the same time, the Mongolian army, which fished in troubled waters and fought backwards in the war, was lured into the ambush circle in the city from the north and east gates of Qingzhou, and suffered a great defeat and suffered heavy casualties. Moreover, they saw that it was not someone else who led the ambush, but King Ning's henchmen, so they suspected that King Ning had betrayed them, and after fleeing with his life in a hurry, they went to Daning as soon as possible to "greet" the old master Gu Ning King Zhu Quan.
The situation in the four northern states and towns where the epidemic spread out of control has been controlled, because several kinds of herbal formulas that are very effective in emergency treatment of the epidemic and can be picked by the mountain stream road have been spread by several oral nursery rhymes.
Three days later, Meng Xuan, the commander of the expedition to the west who was recalled to Beijing to report on his work, took his wife on the way home, and entered Luzhou after Jiaoshui, and his wife's headache flared up again, so he postponed the trip and let Meng Xian, Meng Qi, Meng Ying, Meng Lin, and Meng Yu The four brothers return to the capital first, so that the mother at home can be relieved. His own convoy stopped and went, and the journey gradually dragged on, from April 22 to 26, just after crossing the border of Luzhou.
After Du Huan retrieved his memories of being a Mongolian, he couldn't help but want to revisit his hometown, and by the way, he inquired about a few private matters to see how many of his relatives still survived, so he went to the northwest alone. Liao Zhiyuan is not a busy idler, and it is already the limit to be able to spare ten days to accompany Liao Qing'er to Qingzhou to find He Angelica and Bai Yangbai, so he didn't even have time to send his sister home, and on the second day of Qingzhou's chaos, he wrapped his luggage and left silently, leaving only a letter for Meng Ying to escort Qing'er back to Beijing on his behalf.
Meng Ying is willing to serve, but Qing'er doesn't like to be close to him, since the last time he returned to Yangzhou on the boat from Yinma Town, Qing'er witnessed him slap someone into the water, and his impression of him changed sharply, although Meng Ying later explained that the person was a spy agent, Qing'er still upheld the original verdict. Therefore, Meng Ying was not blessed to be a flower messenger, and Qing'er followed Meng Xuan's car to leave.
That night in the West City Gate guarding the city, seeing that the situation is very good, He Angelica's first step of the plan is almost a complete victory, and even the fire attack does not have to be used, who would have thought that after the crisis was temporarily lifted, the six men who were sweating profusely turned around, and saw He Angelica squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, pale as a white hibiscus soaked in dew, Liao Qing'er's voice could not get any reaction from her. Meng Xuan, Du Huan and Xiao You certainly wanted to fly up to inspect it, but the layer of soil on the ground that grabbed their feet was even more sucky than the cement, and even Meng Xuan couldn't earn it.
He Angelica reluctantly propped up his head and told them that after the Yuan Shen settled down, he tried to imagine that the soil at his feet did not exist, and he walked backwards while thinking about it, and he might be able to get out of this situation.
Meng Xuan was the first to come out, picked up He Angelica from the ground, looked up and down, looked left, right, inside and out, not like he was sick or injured, but he just covered his head and closed his eyes, as if he was entangled with some memories. Meng Xuan immediately thought that it was probably the dose of medicinal soup that made her forget her mind that was haunted, and she regretted it very much. But it's too late to regret it.
When he set off from Qingzhou, He Angelica's headache was basically cured, but he didn't expect it to recur on the road......
Qing'er sat on the steps of the door, holding her cheeks and looking at Meng Xuan's long shirt and jade standing, her clothes fluttering, like a fairy, walking around, walking around, like a husband outside the delivery room, anxiously waiting for his wife to give birth to a baby. In the end, she finally couldn't help yelling at him: "Your daughter-in-law hasn't given birth yet, can't you stop for a while?" I was dizzy. ”
Produce? Meng Xuan's response was to go into the house to see if He Angelica was in pain, and give her support and strength - he only listened to the word "production" when he listened to it and believed it!
Qing'er hurriedly blocked the door to stop him, rolled her eyes and said: "She said that every time she has a headache, she doesn't like to see 'living people', and she will feel more pain when she sees it, you love her so much, you must not want her to 'hurt more', right, Seventh Prince?" Even I, an 'acquaintance', didn't dare to go in and quarrel with her, not to mention you, a 'half-baked person', you better go outside and stand up, as soon as you stand here, I will be forced to speak, as soon as I speak, I will disturb Xiaoyi, who is fighting against the disease inside, you care so much about her, you must not want her to be disturbed when she is in such pain, right, General Meng? ”
As a result, Meng Xuan's tall and glorious image shrank inch by inch under Qing'er's preaching, and finally left gloomily. He Angelica, who was resting in bed in the room, heard it, and couldn't help but smile, Qing'er and Xiao Nizi, can you not be so clever, every time you block the seventh son's drive, let the girls pass it to Li Jian of the Guan family, Li Jian returned to Beijing and told the old lady of the Meng family that that little thing was a big problem.
He Angelica brushed his makeup in the mirror in the room, and used a crystal blue development dipped in osmanthus dew to sip his temples, and the ebony comb went smoothly from beginning to end. The black hair that used to be ankle-length, now only waist-length, the reason is ridiculous, it was when Bai Yangbai took her to Qingzhou, she didn't have time to curl her hair and got into the car, and on the way to the carriage, the driver Wanba suddenly escaped, Bai Yangbai jumped out and beat him, she also poked her head out to look out, was blown by the wind, and the end of her hair was entangled in the wheels. Bai Yangbai looked back at this scene and shouted twice, so he had to swing his sword and break his hair to save her life.
Alas, how many years of raising a long hair, suddenly lost half of it, although it is a lot more convenient to act, pull it up to make flowers, make a bun feel a lot easier, but the heart is still lost.
The two eyebrows leaned closer slightly, with a confused look on his face, and the thing he was most worried about was that when he was guarding the city that night, Qing'er said, "Xiaoyou is really a natural strong man, and it is a waste of his talent not to be a general who guards the city!" And after she heard it, she felt as if something was in her head, and in the white light, she seemed to really see Xiaoyou wearing armor and becoming a general defending the city, and finally seemed to be ...... vomited blood and died on the spot!
The scene was so vivid that it was like a real thing, but Xiaoyou was still alive and well, and this illusion was obviously a non-existent zero. This is what she can't figure out, and it is also the source of the pain in her temples from time to time during these days. It's not so delicate, but every time she strokes her forehead, Qing'er shouts, "Oh Xiaoyi, do you have a headache?", Meng Xuan immediately stopped the horse and got into the carriage to visit her, with a warm spring flowing in her eyes, which is a gentle concern that cannot be misunderstood.
Then every time I was looking for the nearest house to rest, Meng Xuan said that the inn was crowded with people, which was not conducive to rest. Of course, the most disadvantageous part is that there is no independent kitchen, which is inconvenient for him to cook soup.
This Meng Qigongzi completely violated the clever argument of the ancient sages on "gentlemen are far away from cooking", with the noble body of a dignified general, he frequently went in and out of the kitchen where "women and villains" are most suitable for staying, and the most unexpected thing is that he also has very good cooking skills, it is estimated that one day he will not be a general as a cook, he can also be the best general for cooking and stir-frying.
It was hard for her to imagine that he, a pampered and well-pampered nobleman, would have the leisure and elegance to study the preparation of dishes, in her impression, as long as the old masters, young masters and young ladies who were dressed to reach out and open their mouths, had already eaten bright and delicious dishes, and who had the mind and the need to see what those dishes were like before they were made. The smell of raw fish, raw meat, and raw eggs is not as tempting as the cooked ones, how could the seventh prince be attracted into the kitchen?
When asked him, he smiled shyly and explained that his mother and grandmother were loving and tolerant people, but his father was strict, and when he was a child, he was sent to the army when he was a child, and he never brought a servant or a maid, and the food in the army was too rough, and the fist-sized pieces of meat were directly served on the table as a dish, and he took out a knife and fork to cut and eat, which also caused everyone to laugh, and his father also had a black face, blaming him for being feminine. Over time, he did it himself, and secretly set up a small kitchen in a camp tent to eat alone.
He Angelica thought silently after hearing this, even if he was just cooking to solve his own problems at that time, and now the servant cook, the mother, the maid, etc., are so thoughtful, he can still cook for her, which is an extremely rare thing for a man, and as a woman, it is also her luck to have such a husband who cherishes her. Why don't you go back to the capital and enter the Meng family with him? She hesitated to do so.
Before leaving, Du Huan said that there are many people who recognize the Ten Princesses, and there are still people today. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang favored Concubine Yuze, but disliked Yuze's daughter, and after Yuze's death, Zhu Yuanzhang still raised this daughter in fine clothes and food, because the national teacher Qi Jing predicted that the ten princesses were the ones who controlled the national fortune and should be treated with caution. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang was skeptical at the time, after the death of the tenth princess, there was a drought in the north for three years, and it could be regarded as a confirmation of the words of the national teacher Qi Jing, so I heard many palace people say that after the death of the princess, the emperor was very annoyed for a while, and regretted not paying more attention to the princess's daily life.
And the most important thing is that a few days ago, she became the daughter of King Yan and the granddaughter of Zhu Yuanzhang, both of whom had seen the princess who was eight or nine years old before her disfigurement. According to Du Huan's first-hand information, the princess at that time and her now, from temperament to demeanor, from facial features to voice, eleven out of ten people recognize them as the same person. So if you want to escape from this circle of right and wrong, I'm afraid it's very difficult, so you have to find someone to protect her, and that person is Meng Xuan!
He Angelica didn't think about whether there was normal logic in these "because, so", and unconsciously nodded in response to Du Huan's request: follow Meng Xuan back to Meng's house.
Moreover, there is another thing that makes her care very much, that is, the azubra hairpin that Gao Jue gave her in Rabbit Town back then, and now the hairpin that she holds in her hand is actually an old thing when she was the tenth princess, and it is even engraved with her milk name: Qing! In other words, Gao Jue collected the relics of the ten princesses and transferred them to her. So, did Gao Jue know that she was the reincarnation of the princess?
and Lu Jiangbei, his attitude is also very strange, saying that he recognizes her as a niece, and that he will take care of her for the rest of his life. Why is it a "niece", not a niece, not a righteous daughter...... Could it be that he also recognizes Concubine Yuze? And it's also a sister and brother who has worshipped Concubine Yuze?
These are all mysteries that plague her, every time, when she is full of trouble, the seventh prince Meng Xuan always quietly accompanies her, neither letting her feel uncomfortable because of someone in the room, nor letting her be confused by those unknown ways in the dark when she thinks about things in the depths. His just right companionship made her gradually feel not lonely, and she was a little used to having such a person around her. So after this trip to the south, she really decided to go back to Meng's house with him in the name of his wife.
It is not very difficult to make such a decision, after all, according to everyone's reliable testimony, she has been the concubine of the seventh prince for a long time.
But......
"Drive! Drive! Drive! The eleventh son, Meng Yu, rode over at a gallop, and shouted loudly, "Brother, you can't go home~~Wait~~ Brother, sister-in-law can't enter Meng's house!" ”
