Chapter 165: Ink
Chapter 165 Ink
Du Ruo fell asleep in Lu Yuan's arms this night, although the man who held her was just quietly holding her to sleep this time, not as brutal as the last time he asked her on the desk in the study, but Du Ruo didn't feel that he was sleeping soundly in this man's arms.
I dreamed of Xu Huanche in a hazy sleep, and I don't know how he is now, since the Xu family wanted to marry the He family but didn't succeed, and she entered the palace again, there has been no news of Xu Huanche, and I don't know if he is doing well now, whether he still loves He Chang'an, who is not worthy at all.
There was a voice roaring in my heart: Xu Huanche, what's so good about that He Chang'an? You can smile at her like a spring breeze, but you have never looked at me squarely. If you were willing to look at me at the beginning, why would I, Du Ruo, have to endure humiliation and hardship like this? Even if I am already the concubine of Prince Yu, and may even become Princess Yu or even the queen one day, it is impossible for me to forget the dimples on your cheeks when you laugh in this life.
Du Ruo was not the only one who didn't sleep well, in addition to Du Ruo, there was also Zhu Yunjia in the Qin Palace, she sat on the edge of her bed in a daze.
The Zhu family wrote again, which means that the Zhu family has no son, if you want to continue the glory left by the ancestors, or even carry it forward, you can only rely on your daughter, the identity of the eldest sister Zhu Xiyao is not low, but after all, now she is a lady of the Sui'an Boshizi, and there is a princess mother-in-law on top, and she can't help her mother's family.
The implication is that the Zhu family raised her, and Zhu Yunjia simply raised a white-eyed wolf who was not well raised!
When looking at the letter, Zhu Yunjia sneered, Yu was embarrassed to say that the eldest sister's identity was not enough to help her parents' family, but she didn't look at how she was a stepmother before the eldest sister got married. The eldest sister is now living a good life in the Liu family, and she always thought about her mother's family earlier, but now that she has finally seen it clearly, is she still willing to continue to help this so-called "sincere" mother's family?
In fact, thinking of Yu's face, Zhu Yunjia also felt inexplicably disgusting, but let her be like Zhu Xiyao and completely stop helping the Zhu family, she couldn't do it, she had been a little low in the Zhu family since she was a child, and only after becoming the concubine of King Qin, the Zhu family felt that Zhu Qi's girl was not ordinary, and the feeling of being lifted from the mud to the clouds all of a sudden made her still enjoy it very much, but if it was worthless to the Zhu family so soon, then she would only fall even worse, so even if it was a little sweet, she had to reward the Zhu family with a gesture of grace.
But the most basic requirement to be able to be gracious is at least that she can speak to Lu Cheng, if Lu Cheng can spoil her, then there is no hope for everything?
Zhu Yunjia poured herself a cup of jasmine tea, put it to her mouth and took a sip gently, this taste is still good, the fragrance is very authentic, although the Zhu family is an imperial businessman and has thousands of family wealth, but some things can not be bought with family wealth, such a good jasmine tea, Yu should not have drunk it.
Although the princess dominates the princess, she is difficult to see Lu Yuan all year round, but I have to admit that the princess He Chang'an has never deducted her, including this jasmine tea, the news from the ink side is that this is the queen's reward to the princess, it is said to be the best flower tea, the princess got a catty, and gave herself two taels.
As soon as I drank two sips, I saw the ink rush in: "Side concubine, side concubine." ”
Zhu Yunjia raised her eyebrows and glanced at the ink, and closed the bowl calmly: "What is the matter so flustered? You have been with this concubine for so long, how can you not be as measured as you were at the beginning?"
Mo Se gasped, and after a while, he even breathed before he spoke: "Master of the side concubine, the slave maid just got the latest news, let's ...... Princess He of our palace ......"
Zhu Yunjia was shocked: "What's wrong with the princess?"
"Princess...... The princess has a body......"
Zhu Yunjia's hand holding the bowl shook a little, and the bowl fell to the ground and shattered, and even the remaining half bowl of jasmine tea inside was splashed on the ground.
"Master, now that the princess is pregnant, you see...... Your Royal Highness in addition to the princess can be a legitimate side room for you, should we seize such an opportunity, no matter what, if you can give birth to a child in one fell swoop, whether it is a boy or a girl, you can always use the child to keep His Royal Highness a little thought. ”
Zhu Yunjia was sad, it was true that she had been married to Lu Cheng for two years, but what about the princess, the princess only entered the door in the first month, and in the previous year and a half, she was only a woman in the house, and she hadn't been able to retain the attention of Her Royal Highness at all, let alone give birth to a child.
Now the daughter of the third prince's concubine has turned one year old, and the son of the concubine of King Yu was also born.
Seeing that Zhu Yunjia didn't speak for a long time, Mo Se hesitated: "Master Side Concubine, what do you want?"
Zhu Yunjia waved her hand tiredly: "You go down first, I'm tired, and I have to go to King Yu's Mansion tomorrow to participate in the baptism ceremony of the son born to King Yu's side concubine, this matter is not sloppy." ”
Mo Se hummed, tucked the quilt for Zhu Yunjia, and tiptoed out. However, Zhu Yunjia didn't expect that after Mo Se went out, he didn't go back to his residence, but tiptoed to the outer study in the outer courtyard.
The light in the outer study was still on, Lu Cheng was wearing a light cyan robe and sat behind the desk and studied intently the excerpts given to his father by several great Confucians, the implication was that his father was too hasty in choosing a husband for the eldest princess, and only thought that the eldest princess liked herself, but never considered the responsibility of the eldest princess as a princess, and hoped that the father would be more cautious when choosing husbands for other princesses in the future.
When he went down to court today, his father first left Lu Yuan to say a few words, and let him wait outside first, and when Wu Song let him in, Lu Yuan just came out, and it can be seen that his father's face was not good-looking at that time.
As soon as he entered, his father dropped these folds and let him read them for himself, and when he saw his father's approval at the bottom, he was stunned on the spot.
There are only two words on the reply: Fart!
However, as soon as he looked at the content of the folds, he also understood why his father was so angry and even out of shape, he had never thought about such a long-term thing before, and only thought that as long as Ke'er didn't marry to the place where Ru Mao drank blood, it didn't matter which sister he didn't blame, it didn't matter to him, but now that He Chang'an is pregnant, if she gives birth to a daughter, then at least she is also a county lord, if it is possible...... may also be a princess in the future, how can he be willing to marry his daughter and marry?
So at this moment, he can especially understand his father, that is, the second sister and the third sister, although the father usually doesn't care about these two daughters, but after all, it is a blood line that breaks bones and tendons!
Seeing him stand there in a daze for a long time without speaking, his father asked him again what he thought of these books, he was stunned for a moment, and then said his opinion.
"Relying on the princess to maintain the stability of the frontier is not a long-term solution after all, and when the princess is old and decrepit or the person married to the princess is old in a hundred years, then we still have to choose a new princess to send over? If it were possible, the retainer would prefer that the ties with the countries with which he had diplomatic relations be maintained by some common interest between the two countries, such as open trade or political alliances. If it can't be achieved, Erchen would rather borrow Chen Tang's words, 'Those who dare to offend my big proclamation will be punished even if they are far away!'"
After finishing speaking, he looked up at his father, and suddenly found that he didn't know when his father's face had added a lot of wrinkles, and suddenly sighed in his heart, in fact, Jiangshan is not so easy to sit on.
However, he Lu Cheng is confident that he can achieve every step of the way by cultivating himself to govern the country and the world.
The father just waved his hand weakly, and finally said, "If only you could have a son as soon as possible", he let him come back, he knew in his heart that this was because Lu Yuan had added another son, but he didn't care much, he still hoped in his selfish heart that Sui Ru could still give birth to a daughter, so that at least there would not be another man to share Sui Ru's warmth with him now.
Mo Se watched Lu Cheng immersed in his own world for a long time and didn't notice his arrival, and only after a while did he speak: "Your Highness." ”
Lu Cheng raised his head suddenly, saw who he knew clearly, and coughed lightly: "Well, are you here?" Have you done everything that this king told you, and the news that the princess you spread is pregnant has also spread?"
Mo Se nodded, but his hands kept rubbing uneasily in front of him: "Back to the master's words, the slave and maid have already said what the master wants, and they are also inciting her by Concubine Zhu's side, but it's just ...... It's just that Concubine Zhu is still a little wavering now. It's the slave and maid who are not doing well, ask the master to punish him!"
After finishing speaking, he knelt down all of a sudden.
Lu Cheng shook his head: "After all, the Zhu family is the concubine of the Zhu family, and it is impossible for her to make such a decision for a while, but after she comes back from the Yu Wangfu tomorrow, I am afraid that she will start to move these thoughts, don't be in a hurry, you just need to help this king keep an eye on the side courtyard." ”
Mo Se silently responded, then turned around and left, she was originally the palace maid of the Huanyi Bureau, and then a very accidental opportunity was favored by Hua Nan, the master gave her a chance to report her violent death, she knew that she had to undertake a more important task when she came to Qin Wangfu to serve in a makeover, if she didn't do it well, it was really a violent death, and it was not impossible.
Now I just don't know what her next way out will be after Concubine Zhu plays with fire**?
