Chapter 422: Childhood Sweethearts Appear
When Su Xiyun heard this, she nodded and said, "I know..." After that, she didn't say anything else. There was no sound outside the door.
Half a day followed. Su Xiyun lay on the table in the room, made a list of the forbidden foods for pregnant women that she knew in her previous life, and also made a list of things that should be eaten more, and asked Zhou Can to take them to the Bai family.
And the Bai family has also changed a little differently because Su Qianyun is pregnant.
When it was determined that Su Qianyun was indeed two months pregnant, the smile on Mrs. Bai's face never stopped, she personally rewarded the doctor who diagnosed the pulse, and also sent the news to Bai Lao's ears as soon as possible.
All of a sudden, the whole house was full of joy, and the inner door of Bihe Xuan was like a city, and there was an endless stream of people who came to visit every day, and the first day was fine. On the second day, Bai Ruifeng couldn't stand it, Su Qianyun was now the time when she needed to recuperate the most, where could she stand this? He immediately went out and shut everyone out.
Madame Bai didn't say much about this. However, Bai Lao was not happy, she called Bai Ruifeng over, and asked him to take a concubine when she opened her mouth, after all, Bai was the eldest grandson of the Bai family. It is her old man's wish to take more concubines to spread the branches. But Bai Ruifeng refused.
"Grandmother, what the Bai family needs is a concubine, not a concubine! I don't like the dispute between concubines, so my son, there will never be concubines! β
Hearing this, Bai Lao raised his eyebrows and said, "What if the child in Qianyun's belly is a girl?" β
"The girl was born to me too! Just as loved! Bai Ruifeng said lightly: "In short, I would rather only have two children and raise them well." I don't want to ask for a bunch of things that are out of the table and can't be put on the table, so what's the use of asking for them? Although he didn't say a word about not accepting concubines, this is what he meant. Nufeng has low blood.
When Bai Lao heard this, he trembled with anger, and wanted to get angry but looked at the only grandson in front of him, and he couldn't do it, so he sprinkled his anger on others: "Did Qianyun instigate you to say this?" Well? β
"Grandmother, this idea came to my grandson when he saw that his second uncle had done so many wrong things in order to compete for the family property, what did he do about Qianyun?" Bai Ruifeng said lightly.
In addition to the Bai family, there is also a second master who is a concubine, but this second master competed with the master Bai who was the concubine for the family property. Thanks to Bai Lao, the previous disaster was solved, and the Bai family has been able to develop so far, and now Bai Ruifeng is talking about that one thing.
This simple sentence instantly reminded Old Madam Bai of the past, and the anger on her face was finally not so intense.
"That's what you really think?" Bai Lao asked again.
Bai Ruifeng nodded without thinking.
Bai Lao turned his gaze to Mrs. Bai, who had not spoken much since just now, but before she could ask, Mrs. Bai said lightly: "Mother, if Aunt Liu hadn't entered the door when I was pregnant, Ruifeng would have a brother now." β
These words were calm and unwavering, and Mrs. Bai's tone was also brisk, but after Bai Lao heard it, her face changed suddenly, and she finally waved her hand and said, "Okay, good!" My wife doesn't interfere in this matter anymore! You can do whatever you want! β
"Thank you, grandmother!" Bai Ruifeng immediately said with joy.
After seeing the joy on his face, Bai Lao was finally so angry that he couldn't say a word anymore.
Grand Lady Bai showed a faint smile next to her.
That's how it is.
After Su Qianyun heard this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, fortunately Bai Ruifeng refused, otherwise, she really didn't know what kind of mood she should be in to face such a bad thing.
And the two sheets that Su Xiyun left her recorded, although they were all very common things such as almonds, barley, kelp, purslane, etc., Su Qianyun still told the maids around her to be careful. Since she was pregnant, Mrs. Bai immediately asked people to get a kitchen for Bihe Xuan's internal order, and her food was cooked in her own courtyard on weekdays, and she didn't have to go to the big canteen to eat a big pot of rice.
From this incident, Su Qianyun saw the eldest lady's care and love for her, and she became more and more kind to her mother-in-law.
In the blink of an eye, two months passed.
The weather is getting cooler day by day, and Su Xiyun has gradually gone to the palace less often, more often, she likes to stay in Qinfang's house, around the fire, reading books, and living a comfortable day.
Recently, nothing major has happened in the palace, and there is only one thing that Su Xiyun cares about, that is, the concubine in Xinna in the East Palace had a miscarriage when she was two and a half months pregnant.
This means that His Royal Highness, who is already twenty and two, still has no heir under his knees.
Zhou Can brought her news two days ago, saying that His Royal Highness had started to send people to find Su Daiyun again, and it was estimated that he still hadn't forgotten her. When Su Xiyun heard this, she only sneered in her heart.
The child of his concubine is gone, and then he thinks of Su Daiyun and the child in her belly. Does this man dare to be a little more ruthless?
Of course, Su Xiyun will not admit that she is a little more demanding, a romantic person, who can insist on looking for Su Daiyun for a few months, and finally give up this matter under the intervention of the emperor, which is not easy!
Of course, Su Xiyun is also counting the days with her fingers, and now Su Daiyun is going to give birth in a few days, I don't know how she is doing?
In the days when Su Xiyun was full of worries, she suddenly heard about something.
Xue Sumei, the daughter of the queen's niece and nephew and the daughter of Xue Huaishan, the minister of the cabinet, recently held a flower-viewing banquet in the Tang Garden next door to the Rongwang Mansion.
Originally, this was a time that had nothing to do with Su Xiyun, but when she heard the word Tangyuan, her brows suddenly furrowed.
Tang Garden, that is the courtyard that Qi Ye said he would buy for his wife to live in the future, Qi Ye took her to see it that day, and the back garden was indeed full of begonia trees.
After Su Xiyun knew about this, she immediately called Zhou Can and asked her who this Xue Sumei was.
"Miss, this Miss Xue is the daughter of the queen's mother's niece, is the cousin of the prince, grew up with the prince since childhood, and the relationship is very deep, but a year ago, this Miss Xue had a strange disease, and her skin had a red rash, so she has been recuperating in the hot spring villa not far from the suburbs of Beijing, until last month, she returned to the capital."
Listening to Zhou Can's words, Su Xiyun suddenly smelled a different meaning from it. This Xue Sumei and Qi Ye grew up together since childhood, they are childhood sweethearts, their feelings are deep, how deep is it? Su Xiyun admitted that as soon as she heard Zhou Can say this, all the brain cells in her body were attracted by these words.
"Miss, don't be careful, the relationship between Miss Xue and the prince is a cousin, and there will be no other." Zhou Can bothered to explain.
But it's okay if he doesn't explain, the more he explains, the more Su Xiyun drums in his heart.
There won't be anything going on between cousins? Aren't Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu in the Dream of Red Mansions cousins? Aren't Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng in the West Chamber? and Lu You's ex-wife Tang Wan, who is also a cousin! So many things prove that it is definitely not good for cousins to be close!
Su Xiyun stared at Zhou Can twice, and was stunned by the bloody man, and then he stopped in a cold sweat.
"Go and see, this Miss Xue, who are you invited?" Su Xiyun said unhurriedly.
However, Zhou Can was frightened into a cold sweat, he hurriedly responded and retreated, but he was extremely worried in his heart, his lord, this can be regarded as a hornet's nest!
Su Xiyun sat at home, depressed all day!
This Xue Sumei wants to have a flower feast, where to go is not good, but she wants to go to Tang Garden! It was bought by Qi Ye for his wife to live in! Su Xiyun remembered the words that Qi Ye took her to Tangyuan not long ago and swore an oath, and a wave of anger rose inexplicably in her heart!
This Qi Ye, why did you want Xue Sumei to hold a flower appreciation banquet in the Tang Garden?
Su Xiyun, who was angry, inevitably thought that Qi Ye's feelings for this Xue Sumei were not ordinary, her heart was sour, and she was uncomfortable to death!
But that's not all, two days later, Miss Xue actually asked someone to send her an invitation card and invited Su Xiyun to participate in the flower-viewing banquet. When she received the invitation, Su Xiyun's hands were trembling.
"Miss, are you alright?" Zhou Can looked at Su Xiyun with a worried face.
Su Xiyun glared at him hatefully, and said angrily: "Didn't you tell the prince the day before yesterday that I want to see him?" Where is he? β
When Zhou Can heard this, his lips immediately trembled, and he hurriedly explained: "Miss, it's unfortunate that the prince was arranged by the emperor to go to Jeju on an errand, and he won't be able to come back until half a month later!" β
When Su Xiyun heard this, she immediately snorted coldly and said, "Is it really timely?" But did he take refuge? Or go on an errand? β
Zhou Can was frightened and didn't dare to answer at all.
Su Xiyun turned around angrily and sulked in a life. It's infuriating!
Zhou Can glanced at her and slipped out quietly. This woman will inevitably lose her mind when she starts a fire, the prince is not here, there is no need for him to hide here as cannon fodder, right?
So, Su Xiyun, who had nowhere to vent her anger, cleaned up Cuihua and Xiangxiu in the past two days, and the two little girls changed their colors as soon as they heard her name.
But after a few days, Su Xiyun still changed into the most beautiful clothes in the wardrobe, dressed exquisitely and abnormally, and then went to the banquet with pearls in a sedan chair.
The Tang Garden is no longer the deserted look I saw last time, but the customers in front of the door are like clouds, and it is lively. As soon as Su Xiyun and their carriage arrived, a small servant immediately stepped forward to help with the pedal stool, and Su Xiyun got out of the carriage slowly.
There are already a lot of young ladies around, they are so enchanting, it seems that this Miss Xue is still very popular when she leaves the capital!
Su Xiyun looked at everything around her quietly, although she maintained a quiet smile on her face, she was already a little angry in her heart!
If Qi Ye hadn't told her at that time that this garden was bought for his wife, maybe Su Xiyun wouldn't be so angry, but something has happened, and Su Xiyun is really difficult to control and not let herself be angry.
At the same time, she was looking forward to Qi Ye's return to Beijing earlier every day, and she must question him face to face! What the fuck is going on!
was already a little angry in her heart, but Su Xiyun still maintained the sweetest smile and walked towards the gate with the daughters.
Many people in the daughters have paid attention to Su Xiyun, and many people know that the venue where Miss Xue held the banquet this time is Rong Wang Qi Ye, if you want to ask who this Miss Xue is? So years ago, I am afraid that everyone in the capital knew about it, and everyone knew about it, such a talented woman was already the princess Rong who was already determined, if it wasn't for the sudden serious illness a year ago, how could there be anything to Miss Su later?
But today, Miss Xue held a banquet on the territory of Rongwang Qi Ye, and actually invited her fiancΓ©e, Miss Su. Then it's worth playing.
It was supposed to be the main family, but now it has become an invited guest, I don't know what kind of feeling this Miss Su has in her heart at the moment?
Many people are gloating about this.
It's a pity that Su Xiyun has always had a quiet smile on her face, which makes it difficult to see her true emotions.
After a while, everyone walked through the front yard and came to the rather spacious garden at the back, and Su Xiyun finally saw the legendary Xue Sumei, Miss Xue.
It was a rather beautiful young woman, about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a green emerald cigarette shirt, wearing a thin veil of emerald water, her shoulders were shaved into a waist, and her skin was like a condensed air. Coquettish and boneless. It's really beautiful, it doesn't seem to be a mortal thing in the world.
Xue Sumei's face has always been smiling, and there is no trace of impurities on that white cheek, just looking at this face, it is hard for you to imagine that a year ago, this Xue Sumei would be a numb face with red and swollen whole body?
Su Xiyun suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart.
But soon, she couldn't care about all this, because that Miss Xue had already finished greeting everyone and came to Su Xiyun's side.
"Miss Su, it's really hard to see, it's good to see you today." Xue Sumei smiled at Su Xiyun and said with a smile, although her voice was a little hoarse, it had a unique charm.
Su Xiyun hurriedly returned the salute: "Xiyun has seen Miss Xue, you are not as good as seeing it." β
When Xue Sumei heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Oh? Is it? How often do you hear my name from Qi Ye's mouth? β
There was a sudden silence all around.
The smile on Su Xiyun's face froze, and she said slowly: "Yes." "God knows that Qi Ye has never mentioned Xue Sumei's name in front of her! Otherwise, how could she be so overwhelmed by this childhood sweetheart who suddenly appeared?
Xue Sumei listened to Su Xiyun's words, and suddenly smiled even happier: "He is still a conscience!" β
Su Xiyun really didn't know what to say, Xue Sumei's smile seemed to her to be very dazzling. At this moment, Su Xiyun suddenly heard a surprise call: "Xiyun, you are here today?" With the sound of speaking, a person Ang walked over from not far away, it was Princess Duanning, who had not been seen for many days.
She wore a big red silk skirt today, embroidered with light blue peonies on the cuffs, ** outlined a few auspicious clouds, her face was like a hibiscus, and her eyebrows were like willow smoke, but it was a kind of atmospheric beauty different from Xue Sumei.
"I've seen Princess Duanning!" Everyone hurriedly knelt on the ground to say goodbye, but Duan Ning just walked over and picked Su Xiyun up from the ground: "You haven't been in the palace for a few days, I didn't expect to meet you here, it's so good!" β
Su Xiyun was also happy when she saw Duan Ning, she nodded and said, "How can the princess be free to come over today?" β
"Cousin's invitation, how dare Duan Ning not come?" Duan Ning grinned, and hurriedly turned around to greet Xue Sumei: "You want to have a flower appreciation banquet, why don't you go to me?" Brother's courtyard is big, but it's not popular, so it's not the best choice. β
When Xue Sumei heard this, she smiled faintly and said, "What the princess said is very true!" It's just that the flower feast here is a cousin, no, His Royal Highness King Rong invited me again, and Su Mei couldn't shirk it, so she had to grieve you. β
She just shouted the word cousin almost very familiarly, and then changed her words bluntly, and everyone present looked sideways at Su Xiyun.
Princess Duanning smiled slightly, and opened the topic: "I heard that the begonias in this begonia garden are in full bloom quite brilliantly, cousin, why don't you take us in and have a look?" β
Xue Sumei hurriedly responded: "This will bring everyone over." As he spoke, he was busy with the front belt.
Princess Duanning grabbed Su Xiyun's hand and hid in the crowd.
Although Su Xiyun still had a calm look on her face, she was already about to go crazy in her heart, this Xue Sumei was really killing people invisibly! didn't say anything out of the ordinary, but it made Su Xiyun half angry, especially since Qi Ye was still far away in Jeju now, and it would take half a month to come back.
Su Xiyun deeply felt that if she couldn't wait for Qi Ye to come back, she wouldn't be able to bear it anymore! This Xue Sumei, obviously Qi Ye is not present, but she can have the ability to you off to death, which is really amazing!
"You don't have to think about it too much, she has nothing to do with my brother." Princess Duanning suddenly leaned into Su Xiyun's ear and said.
Su Xiyun couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this.
"My brother lent her the hospital, there must be a reason, but it's certainly not what you think." Just when Su Xiyun was puzzled, Princess Duanning turned around and said.
Hearing this, Su Xiyun felt much better in her heart, she smiled slightly, and followed Princess Duanning. Then, the two avoided these topics and talked about something else. Princess Duanning is well-read and knows a lot, and Su Xiyun is from modern times, and she will always say a few thought-provoking modern proverbs, Princess Duanning is very interested, and the two of them are chatting enthusiastically.
When Su Xiyun just came in, the feeling of depression and anger in her heart suddenly decreased a lot.
At this moment, Xue Sumei, who had already walked away, suddenly turned around and said, "Princess, Miss Su, you two hurry up, the best begonia in front is about to arrive!" β
