Chapter 118: The girl is pregnant
Two days later, Xiao Xiyang was ordered to go out of Beijing to Wucheng with his new wife.
Send Xiao Xiyang away, and the next biggest event in Beijing is the Spring Festival. The heart that was originally settled because of Chu Xizhi's assurance couldn't stand it anymore and became anxious at the moment.
Just when Xiao Xiwei couldn't sit still, an entourage came to send a message, saying that His Royal Highness King Yan invited the princess to go to Rongxing Pavilion to watch a play.
"Princess, why did you say that the prince was so interested in inviting you to go to Rongxing Pavilion to watch the play!" Ziyan said with a smile.
Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly.
Could it be that Rongxing Pavilion really has something good waiting for her to see.
"Let's go down and prepare." Xiao Xi smiled and waved his hand at Ziyan.
Ziyan smiled and blessed her body, and was about to go down to take care of the things of going out, when Xiao Xiwei's voice suddenly sounded behind her.
"You go and see Biyun, if she is refreshed, let her go with her."
"Yes." Ziyan smiled and retreated.
Biyun didn't come in the end.
Sitting in the carriage to Rongxing Pavilion, Xiao Xi lowered his eyes slightly, held the ivory hairpin in his hand, and sighed very lightly in his heart.
"Princess, Rongxing Pavilion has arrived." The voice of a servant was heard outside.
Xiao Xiwei helped Ziyan's men get out of the carriage, and the servants arranged by Chu Xizhi were waiting there, leading Xiao Xiwei to the elegant room on the second floor.
Incense was lit in the room, and in the light smoke, Chu Xizhi sat in front of the couch in a white embroidered bamboo dress, with a plate of endgame in front of him. Hearing the sound, he turned his head, threw the chess pieces in his hand back to the chess box, and greeted him with a smile, "Madame is here." ”
"Didn't you say you came to see the play?" Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled.
Chu Xizhi smiled, led Xiao Xiwei to the front of the couch and sat down, "Maybe I'm going to wait for a while, Madame shouldn't accompany her husband to play chess." ”
"It's fine." Seeing that Chu Xizhi was so calm and clear, Xiao Xiwei's heart was strangely settled down.
The two were drinking tea and playing chess, about half a pillar of incense, and suddenly there was a commotion downstairs.
"Look at Brother Qian's expression, presumably there will be a place for Brother Qian in the top list this time, and Brother Qian will not forget to take care of the little brother when the time comes!"
"Where, Brother Zhang is really awarded."
Listening to that person's voice, there was no doubt that it was Qian Xiao, Xiao Xiwei raised his head from the chessboard and looked at Chu Xizhi.
Chu Xizhi pursed his lips and smiled, and threw the chess pieces in his hand onto the chessboard, "Madam, it seems that the play has begun." ”
On the first floor of Rongxing Pavilion, four or five teenagers surrounded one of the young men in purple brocade clothes and walked into Rongxing Pavilion with a swaggering voice, the look was not unexpected, but suddenly a woman rushed towards the young man in purple brocade in the crowd, she went over and dragged the corners of the boy's sleeves with both hands, and shouted in a trembling voice, "Young master, help me, help me!" ”
Everyone was stunned, and they all looked at the woman, only to see that the woman's eyebrows and eyes were clean, wearing a light blue dress, and her watery eyes were full of panic and fear.
"Brother Qian, this ...... Is this your girl? Some of the sons hesitated.
In the past few months of friendship with Qian Xiao, they have never heard of such a girl by Qian Xiao's side? And looking at this woman grabbing Qian Xiao's sleeve so unsuspiciously, it is obviously not an ordinary girl's move.
The suspicious and speculative gazes around Qian Xiao made Qian Xiao's face smile smug a little, and he hurriedly reached out and broke the girl's hand that was tugging at his sleeve, "You all misunderstood, she is my sister's girl." After speaking, he turned his face and looked at Cuizhu intently, and said word by word in a low voice, "Cuizhu, don't panic!" What's the matter, let's talk about it later? ”
Cuizhu opened his mouth and was about to speak, when more than a dozen family members suddenly poured in outside.
"Young Master, save me! Save me! As soon as he saw someone coming, Cuizhu couldn't care about anything, and reached out and grabbed Qian Xiao's arm and screamed.
"Cuizhu, you are so bold that you dare to escape from the house without permission! Why don't you come back with me and confess your sins! Steward Lin said angrily.
"Nope! I'm not going back! I'm not going back! Cuizhu shouted and hid straight behind Qian Xiao, "Young master, save me!" Help me! ”
Seeing that Cuizhu hid behind Qian Xiao, Steward Lin's expression froze, and he raised his eyes to look at Qian Xiao, "It seems that Mr. Qian seems to be planning to meddle in the family affairs of our loyal and brave waiting house?" ”
Steward Lin's cold attitude made Qian Xiao stunned, looking at the strange eyes around him, Qian Xiao's face was a little unbearable, "What did Steward Lin say, Cuizhu is my sister's maidservant, she came over to beg me, I can't say too much!" ”
Steward Lin snorted coldly, "Mr. Qian can't help but think too highly of himself!" You're really not qualified to ask about this! ”
Steward Lin's words were like a slap in the face to Qian Xiao's face, and he didn't give her half of his face, only the whispers around him could be heard.
It seems that the Zhongyong Houfu does not take care of him very much as Qian Xiao said, otherwise, how dare a little steward embarrass him in person.
"You! How dare you be so presumptuous as a little steward! Do you know who I am? Believe it or not, I'm going to sue you in front of my brother-in-law and kick you out of the palace! Qian Xiao said angrily.
"The brother-in-law that Mr. Qian said won't be my master, right?" Steward Lin couldn't help but laugh a few times, "I've been in Houfu for so many years, and I've never seen such a cheeky person as Mr. Qian, not to mention that the third aunt has been grounded for several months, even if the third aunt is a pet, she is just an aunt, where does Mr. Qian have the cheekiness to call my master a brother-in-law?" ”
"What, it turns out that Lord Xiao is not as close to him as Qian Xiao said!"
"Cut, I said a long time ago, he just brags about the relationship in the name of the loyal and brave Houfu."
The whispers around him grew louder.
Qian Xiao's face was blue and red, and he really wanted to rush over and tear Steward Lin to pieces.
"What are you guys still doing in a daze, don't bring people back to me!" Steward Lin said to the entourage behind him with a blushing face.
"Yes." A few people made a gesture to pull out the cuizhu behind Qian Xiao.
"No...... Don't touch me! Don't touch me! Young master, save me, I don't want to die! I don't want to die! Cuizhu dragged Qian Xiao's hand and didn't let go.
Qian Xiaoqing broke Cuizhu's hand fiercely with a blushing face, and Cuizhu was pulled out by several servants with a scream.
"Let go of me! Let me go! Cuizhu's sharp and desperate voice spread in Rongxing Pavilion.
"Wait." Upstairs, a faint voice sounded.
Everyone turned their faces and saw a pair of men and women walking down from the upstairs hand in hand, the man was handsome and chic, and the woman was beautiful and gentle.
"The little one has seen the prince and the princess." Steward Lin hurriedly saluted.
Only then did the others come to their senses and hurriedly get out of the way and salute.
The moment she saw Xiao Xiwei, Cuizhu was like a drowning person grasping the last life-saving straw, she broke free of the restraints suddenly, and ran to Xiao Xiwei's side and grabbed her skirt and cried, "Second Miss, please save the slave...... Please......"
Xiao Xi raised her hand slightly to signal Ziyan and Hongyu to help Cuizhu up, she raised her eyes and looked at Steward Lin, "Is there anything you can't say well, isn't it a shame to make trouble here?" ”
"What the princess said is that this is just the matter...... It's really a little hard to say about the reputation of Houfu......" Steward Lin lowered his head, his expression humble and respectful, which was diametrically opposed to the aggressiveness just now.
"Why is a girl still related to the reputation of Houfu?" Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly.
Steward Lin raised his eyes and looked around, hanging his head and not daring to answer.
"Princess, Cuizhu has always been well-behaved, maybe she was ...... by someone" Ziyan didn't speak, Cuizhu on the side suddenly pushed her away, turned her face and retched with her mouth covered, and her face turned pale.
"Cuizhu, what's wrong with you? Isn't it uncomfortable? Isn't it...... Did they punish you? Ziyan pointed at Steward Lin and said loudly.
"Nope! No! This girl must have smelled fishy. Steward Lin hurriedly argued.
When I smell the fishy smell, I vomit, and then I think of the words that Steward Lin just said......
Everyone rolled their eyes and looked at each other.
"Look at her like this, could it be...... I'm pregnant! Someone in the crowd whispered.
"Ahem." Chu Xizhi covered his mouth and coughed lightly, "Madam, I see, let's go back to Houfu to talk about anything." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Steward Lin echoed in a loud voice.
Xiao Xi glanced at Chu Xi slightly, pursed his lips and nodded.
"No...... I'm not going back! I'm not going back! Young master, young master......" Cuizhu eagerly set his eyes on Qian Xiao, his voice full of pleading.
Qian Xiao's face was blue and purple, and the crowd's discussion became louder, and he stiffened his face as if he hadn't heard anything, and had seen nothing.
Chu Xizhi suddenly hooked the corners of his lips, and raised his sword eyebrows slightly, "Didn't Mr. Qian just say that he wanted to ask, since this is the case, please also go to the Houfu!" ”
"No...... No need. Qian Xiao waved his hand again and again, and even took two steps back.
He heard all the discussion just now, and didn't he go to the Houfu at this time to send him to death.
"Not really? Are you sure? Chu Xizhi raised his eyebrows again.
"This is what you girls in the palace have to do with me. I, I remember, I still have something, forgive me for going first. Qian Xiao said and walked quickly towards the door.
"Young master, you can't leave me alone! This kid is yours! Seeing that Qian Xiao was leaving, Cuizhu couldn't care about anything at the moment, so he rushed over and hugged Qian Xiao's leg.
At this moment, Rongxing Pavilion was completely quiet.
Qian Xiao looked at the eyes around him with ridicule or contempt, only to feel angry, and raised his hand and slapped Cuizhu fiercely, "Where did the crazy girl come from, dare to slander this son like this!" ”
Cuizhu, who was slapped by Qian Xiao's slap and her ears buzzed, covered her face and was stunned for a long time, unable to speak.
Taking advantage of Cuizhu's stunned kung fu, Qian Xiao hurriedly shook off Cuizhu's hand and was about to run out, but he had just taken two steps and was stopped by someone.
Xiao Xi looked at Qian Xiao coldly, "Since Cuizhu is slandering the son, then the son must not be afraid to go through this experience!" ”
