Chapter 231: Abnormal Calm
In the past, Mao Mingxuan had to prepare for the exam, and he almost didn't leave the house, and the Su family was not optimistic about Mao Mingxuan, so Chen Ruzhu rarely had the opportunity to see Mao Mingxuan.
thought that now that Mao Mingxuan had won the champion, and she had the acquiescence of the Su family, she should have more opportunities to meet Mao Mingxuan. For example, a chance encounter in the garden or something.
As a result, she found that Mao Mingxuan still stayed at home and read books all day long! It's a hungry nerd!
But she still remembers the only time she talked and drank tea with Mao Mingxuan in the garden, obviously she was a very funny person, not dull, not like a nerd at all!
I don't know if my aunt will agree to the letter? Chen Ruzhu glanced at Mao Mingxuan again, and felt a little unconfident in her heart.
Although E-Niang said that she was sure of nine out of ten. But in her heart, she felt that it was not so easy. The niece has become a daughter-in-law, and it still feels different.
But it's useless to be anxious now. Yangzhou is far away from the capital, and it is not so fast to reply as soon as the letter is received.
She was thinking about it, so she heard Su Shi say: "Mingxuan, before you entered the examination room, I took Ruzhu to Guangji Temple to offer incense, and said that I would wait for you to go to high school to repay your vows." Now that you've won the top prize, it's time for me to repay. Would you like to go with me and Zhu'er tomorrow? ”
"Since it is for Mingxuan, it is natural that he should be accompanied." Mao Mingxuan said: "I also want to thank my aunt, I didn't expect you to do so much for me." ”
Su Shi really didn't tell a lie. It's just that this incense was not volunteered by her at the beginning. It was Chen Junjie who said it. Because he was busy with Yamen and didn't have time to go, he asked her to take Chen Ruzhu with him. She was a believer. I said I was going to repay my vow, so I still remember it in my heart.
However, to go now, it is willing. After all, in her eyes, Mao Mingxuan is almost the same as her son-in-law.
As soon as Chen Ruzhu heard that Mao Mingxuan was willing to accompany them, her heart became happy, and she immediately looked at Mao Mingxuan twice.
In Yuqing Palace, the prince rested directly in the front yard after returning to the palace. When the crown princess heard that he was drunk, she took her maid to serve him herself. In the evening, the prince woke up. Seeing the crown princess sitting on the edge of the bed, he said, "What time is it?" Sleeping alone for a long time? ”
"It's already time." The crown princess said in a gentle voice: "You have been asleep for two hours. Hungry? Why don't you ask the dining room to bring some food? ”
The prince nodded and got out of bed. The crown princess hurriedly got up and waited for him to change his clothes.
"Today in the Eighth Brother's Mansion, Chen and Wang Gege in the Third Brother's Mansion had a dispute, and both of them fell into the water. The concubine hasn't had time to tell you about this. The crown princess said.
"Why the quarrel?" The prince frowned. Let Chen Ruyu go, he deliberately told the crown princess.
Wang Gege ridiculed Chen for not keeping the child and not being favored by her cousin. Chen was angry and replied. The two quarreled, and they didn't know who made the first move, so they both fell into the water. The crown princess described the matter very objectively, and then said: "At that time, the eighth brother's Mao Gege immediately called the doctor in the house to check the pulse of the two, saying that the Chen family was already weak and suffered from the cold, so he had to take care of it. When she came back in the afternoon, the concubine had already asked the imperial doctor to prescribe a prescription for her. ”
The prince's face sank when he heard this, and he said, "The third child should be slapped!" ”
The third brother and sister were there at the time, and they had already apologized to Chen. The concubine thought that after all, she was a person from her house, so she didn't punish her again. The crown princess said.
"Like the third child, he is a cheap mouth!" The prince snorted coldly.
The crown princess lowered her head and straightened the prince's belt, just as if she hadn't heard this.
"What did the Imperial Doctor say?" The prince asked. If Chen Ruyu provoked something, he was ready to ignore this woman again! No matter what use she had, he didn't want to spend spirit with a fool. But now it is obvious that Chen has been bullied, and he is concerned.
"The doctor said that Chen's miscarriage this time had already hurt his vitality and did not heal, and this time he soaked in cold water for so long, which hurt his body very much. I'm afraid I'm going to take this conditioning medicine for a year and a half. The crown princess replied.
"As long as you can take care of it." Prince Road.
"Well, the concubine said the same thing. As long as you can regulate well, what are you afraid of after taking medicine for a few more years. The crown princess said.
The prince lowered his eyes and glanced at the crown princess who was still sorting out his clothes, thinking that she had a difficult heir since she entered the palace, and she had taken a lot of medicine to condition her body, so she felt a little more distressed.
"I see that your complexion is not very good today, you also have to pay attention to your body, don't work too hard."
The crown princess was stunned, and her heart was slightly pantothenic, but soon she suppressed the little throbbing in her heart, raised her head and smiled faintly at the prince, and said: "The same is true for the prince, the concubine has also lost weight recently, and the clothes seem to be empty." ”
The prince smiled and said, "Okay, let's both pay attention to our bodies." ”
The crown princess's nose was sour again, and she quickly lowered her head and endured the tears that were about to gush out.
How long has it been since the prince has spoken to her with such concern? The two of them respect each other more on weekdays, and they have less time to talk sweetly. Today's prince's words, she can hear that they are genuinely concerned, and this is what makes her heart fluctuate.
This night, the prince rested in the princess's house and did not go to see Chen Ruyu.
And Chen Ruyu didn't let people watch the prince's movements like before, nor did he get angry because the prince didn't come.
She had dinner quietly alone, drank the medicine prescribed by the doctor, and went to bed early. It seemed as if her manic emotions had dissipated overnight. Even the palace maid who served her was surprised, and always felt that her peace was not normal.
And Chen Ruyu on the bed was actually not asleep, and her heart was not so calm as it seemed. In other words, what wells up in my heart is sadness that I have never felt before. A life that requires scheming all the time is not the life she yearns for. But now, this is her only way out.
The once warm home can never be returned. Ama and Eniang, who love her, let her eldest sister everywhere, and I don't know if I will have a chance to meet in this life.
At this time, Chen Ruzhu, who was nagged by Chen Ruyu, picked out the clothes in the house to go to Guangji Temple to repay her vows on the second day.
"Girl, how is this goose yellow? It looks good in such a bright color in spring. Chen Ruyu's maid said.
The other maid picked up a lake-blue jacket and said, "The slave thinks that this color sets off the complexion. ”
Chen Ruyu looked left and right, and he was also a little undecided.
"Where's this green one?" The maid picked up another one.
Chen Ruyu thought for a while and said, "It's still the goose yellow just now, it looks more elegant." ”
