Chapter Ninety-Three: Walking on Thin Ice
Because of his previous meritorious service on the battlefield, Kong Lin was named the governor of Jizhou, and his father's case was rehabilitated. Although Huan Ci is not very familiar with him, he is happy for him from the bottom of his heart.
"Are you still used to the south?" She asked.
"You forgot? Zino had been in the south before. Li Jinxiu said with a smile.
Huan Ci quickly remembered that Kong Lin had been sent to the south. In this way, his experience was unusual.
"How long are you going to stay here?" She asked Li Jinxiu.
Li Jinxiu looked up at Fu Shen and said softly, "Then it depends on how long Master Fu stays here." β
"You want to come with us?" Huan Ci's happiness is beyond words.
If Li Jinxiu was with him, the people here should not dare to blatantly oppose Fu Shen.
Li Jinxiu looked at her and nodded, and then said to Fu Shen: "I have discussed it with Ziye, and both of us feel that you and Your Majesty's decision is right. I've read what you wrote, and Brother Fu's mind is far above the two of us. β
Hearing them discuss political affairs, Huan Ci stopped talking. She didn't know much about these things, and she didn't want to interject.
As she expected, after Li Jinxiu mentioned this, Fu Shen no longer spoke as quietly as before, and began to talk to him. One moment they talked about the army, the other about farming, and the other about the scriptures. Although these things had been thought about before, they had now heard something deeper in their mouths.
She suddenly felt ashamed, her father asked her to study, but she didn't care, but she fished for three days and dried nets for two days, she was just a half-ass.
It was really boring to sit, so she stayed and beckoned to Zhao Qing and took her out for a walk. It's just that this post station is not big, and there is really nothing fun, so she went out for a walk and walked back.
When she walked outside the door, she was about to push the door in, when she suddenly heard Li Jinxiu say: "Brother Fu, you have made a lot of enemies this time, this trip is really dangerous, you shouldn't bring her here." β
After a long silence in the room, the man's voice came to his ears: "Isn't there no danger for her to stay in Beijing?" β
Li Jinxiu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. There are more and more people who impeach Fu Shen, and he has not cultivated his own power in the court, and the only thing he can rely on is the law of Zongzheng. In fact, in this case, it is good for him to take Huan Ci, if Huan Ci stays in the capital, what happens in the future, the two of them are beyond the reach of the whip.
Fu Shen glanced at the man in front of him and muttered, "It's just that she has a body now, and I don't want her to suffer those hardships because of me." β
Li Jinxiu naturally didn't know what kind of ordeal he was talking about, but he could see Fu Shen's hesitation and uneasiness.
"It's better to take her to Jizhou and put her under the noses of me and Ziye. You're so close, you can come and see her at any time, and you don't have to worry about it all the time, what do you think? β
"Good!" Fu Shen pondered for a moment before answering.
Huan Ci heard the anger outside the door, and pushed the door open angrily: "I'm not going." β
Li Jinxiu was taken aback and hurriedly jumped off the couch. He looked back at Fu Shen, only to see the man's complicated gaze staring at Huan Ci, who had just entered the room, without a trace of a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"What are you looking at me like that? I'm not going anywhere anyway, I'm going to walk together. Huan Ci slowly walked to his side.
Seeing that Fu Shen didn't say a word, she turned her eyes to Li Jinxiu: "Thank you for your kindness, but I just want to stay with him." β
"Ah Ci." Fu looked at her cautiously, "It's just going to Jizhou, it's not far from Qinzhou, so you can go over first for the time being." And the conditions there are better than here, which is also good for children. β
"You don't talk about children." Huan Ci said coldly.
Li Jinxiu was originally thinking about the two of them, but who knew that it would cause their husband and wife to quarrel, and they stood in place awkwardly and didn't know how to deal with themselves.
Huan Ci quickly noticed that he was at a loss, stabilized his mind and smiled at him: "Don't stand, sit down." β
Li Jinxiu raised his eyebrows and arched his hand: "It's not early, I'll go back first today." If Brother Fu wants to find me, just go to the governor's mansion tomorrow. β
"Okay." Fu Shen nodded and followed him to see him out.
As soon as the guest left, he drooped his face again. Fu Shen just left her once, and now he even wants to leave her a second time. What's more, Li Jinxiu said something like that, how could she not worry about him? Even if she can't intervene in the affairs of the court, she is also a princess of the Zongzheng Law, and those people will not embarrass her.
After a while, Fu Shen sent Li Jinxiu away and entered the house with very light steps. Huan Ci raised his eyelids when he heard the movement, glanced at him lazily, snorted coldly and walked towards the back room.
Unexpectedly, Fu Shen didn't chase after him this time, but asked Sweeping Ye to move a lot of documents to the table. He wanted to review the documents, and the others naturally did not dare to move, and the people who served the pen and ink stood quietly.
Huan Ci stayed in the back room for a while, but his anger did not subside, but the more he thought about it, the more depressed he felt.
There was only the sound of men turning papers in the room, and everyone else was afraid to come out, Zhao Qing sat on the stool next to him sewing purses, and occasionally raised his head and stared at her.
Huan Ci was idle and bored, took the book and read it, and turned the paper over with a loud noise. Fu Shen only glanced at her quietly, and quickly lowered his head to review the paperwork on the table.
Seeing that the man ignored her, Huan Ci held his breath in his chest and couldn't come out, anyway, now that he has nothing to do, it is better to think of something to do.
After pondering for a while, she patted her head and shouted excitedly: "I haven't written to the UAE for a long time, so it's better to ask him about the situation in his house now." β
Zhao Qing then helped her to walk to the Luohan Collapse, and beckoned others to come over with a pen and paper.
Huan Ci put down the pen, nothing more than asking him to write about inconsequential things, and by the way, he also asked him if he had any plans to marry Lan Fu.
After putting the letter in the envelope, she suddenly sighed and said in a low voice, "I want to go back to Bingzhou." β
The man finally looked up at her, his eyes full of inquiry.
Huan Ci was angry, glanced at him and looked away. She really wanted to go back to Bingzhou, and she hadn't gone to her father's grave to worship for a long time, and she only felt guilty in her heart. This body is getting heavier and heavier day by day, and she is gradually getting a little annoyed, and she only hopes that the child can come out sooner.
The fetus in her womb seemed to feel something, and suddenly kicked her, making her grin in pain.
Huan Ci suddenly felt extremely aggrieved, and tears fell instantly. But this time she bit her lip lightly to prevent herself from making a sound.
Zhao Qing quickly noticed the abnormality, bent down to look at Huan Ci, whose eyes were red, and then straightened up and gave Fu Shen a look.
The man frowned slightly, and waved his hand to signal everyone to go out.
Hearing Xi Suosuo's voice, Huan Ci looked up, and at this time Fu Shen had already walked to her eyes.
She snorted, stood up, and walked towards the back room. Unfortunately, her bulky body dragged her down, and Fu Shen easily stopped her.
"If you don't want to go, don't go, why cry?" The man said in a deep voice.
Huan Ci gritted his teeth and glared at him, looking fierce. Fu Shen stepped forward and wanted to pull her sleeve, but she impatiently shook it off: "If you don't want to talk, don't bother me." β
Fu Shen's hand froze in place, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was a little surprised. He once asked the imperial doctor, and heard that pregnant women are often restless because they are unwell, and they are angry when they are good, not to mention that Huan Ci is angry now.
"It's my mistake, don't be angry." He raised his hand to help the woman wipe her tears.
Huan Ci turned his head to avoid his hand, but most of his anger disappeared when he heard this. It's just that she can't help but start thinking about how the two of them will get along during this time.
Fu Shen has been busy since she became prime minister, but at that time she could often sneak out to find him. Since she became pregnant, she has had less and less time to herself, and she has hardly slept well, and her body is often uncomfortable.
"When will this kid come out?" She muttered discontentedly, sounding like she was coquettish.
Fu Shen heard that she was angry, pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed, reached out and touched her lower abdomen, and comforted her: "When the child is born, the two of us will go to other places to shop." β
"You're going to talk big, how do you have time?" Huan said. He used to be so busy, but now that Zong Zhenglu wants to change the law, he won't let him go, and he doesn't know how busy he will be. She took a deep breath and said something that she had hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to say: "You should leave yourself a way back, if you say that the people in the court make a big fuss, maybe he will push you out." β
"I know, don't worry." Fu Shen looked into her eyes and muttered.
These words made Huan Ci a little distracted. Although he said this, if something like that really happened at the time, he was afraid that there was nothing he could do, and what could she do to help?
Huan Ci reached out to hold Fu Shen's hand, leaning his head on his shoulder, just wanting to cherish this moment of silence. Fu Shen didn't say anything more, gently wrapped his arms around her shoulders, and his warm breath hit her head.
Sleepiness gradually hit, and Huan Ci fell asleep in the man's arms.
Sensing the woman's calm breathing, Fu Shen looked down at her closed eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Huan Ci slept soundly until it was time for dinner. She was covered with a quilt, and the room was already a little dark, and there was a lamp and candle in front of Fu Shen's table.
As soon as she moved, the man looked over: "Are you hungry?" I let them set the meal. β
Huan nodded heavily. She eats much more now, and is always hungry quickly, and even when she wakes up from a sleep, her appetite is not affected by this.
Holding her waist and walking slowly to the table, she was about to pour a cup of tea to drink, when she suddenly saw Sweeping Ye walking towards this side with two food boxes.
"So fast? Have you already commanded them? She said softly.
Fu Shen didn't know why, and looked up at her.
At this interval, Sweeping Leaves had already walked into the house. He put the food box on the table, nodded to Huan Ci before he spoke: "Third Master, this is something sent by Li Gongzi." β
"Really?" Huan Ci frowned, afraid that there was fraud in it.
"I personally went to the Governor's Mansion to get it. He sent me a message to go, and my wife was resting at the time, so I went without returning. Li Gongzi said that he brought a cook and specially made something for his wife to make up for her body. β
Huan Ci opened the food box, and there were all kinds of tempting dishes in it, and she drooled: "He has a heart, he will definitely thank him another day, just take these things and heat them up." β
Sweeping Ye blinked, and asked Fu Shen with his eyes. After seeing Fu Shen nodding his head, he was relieved.
After the man went out with the food box, Huan Ci frowned and looked at Fu Shen: "Why is he so cautious?" Are they still inβ"
Seeing Fu Shen waving at her, she quickly stopped talking, but she was even more uneasy in her heart.
Fu Shen calmly sat opposite her and said softly, "It's not that we don't believe him, we just beware of everyone." β
What's more, these dishes are not made by Li Jinxiu himself, who can guarantee that the chef will be fine? He believes that prudence is like sweeping leaves, and he will definitely check it carefully before sending it in.
