Chapter Ninety-Nine: Rendezvous
Xin Nian smiled faintly: "Pet concubine, it's nothing to have a little privilege, grandma is not satisfied, so she went to the prince to make trouble."
Lychee nodded and smiled, "This is true, the prince's favor for his aunt is really rare. That's you, someone else, who is not qualified to say such things."
Xin Nian reached out and stroked her temples, and said softly, "What I'm worried about now is not grandma, but the concubine."
"Yes." Lychee said solemnly: "Since the concubine can kill the princess silently, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not attack her aunt and the sixth young master and the fourth girl, this matter is very important, and it must be prevented."
Xin Nian nodded heavily and said, "Yes, now it seems that we all underestimate the concubine too much, in the past few years, grandma has been rampant and domineering in front of people, but I don't know that the most vicious and powerful one has always been the concubine who looks harmless to humans and animals."
"What is my aunt going to do?"
"I haven't figured it out yet." Xin Nian shook his head: "After all, it's a concubine, I'm just a concubine, even if I have the prince's favor, I don't have the capital to fight against her at all."
A little grief and indignation appeared on Lychee's face: this is the most helpless thing. Not to mention that Princess Qin found out that it was too late to be poisoned, even if she noticed it at the beginning, what could she do? The concubine is a mother-in-law, and it is impossible for her to take the initiative to harm the other party, so she can only be attacked by the other party again and again. If you can prevent it for a while, can you still prevent it for a lifetime? Even if the princess escapes this time, she will one day die at the hands of the concubine.
"Let me think again." Xin Nian put down his hand, picked up the teacup, and muttered, "Whether it's for my sister, or for myself and Liuzaiya, this matter can't just pass so easily."
Lychee was stunned for a moment, and then said eagerly: "Auntie be cautious, after all, she is a concubine, if you go to touch her for the sake of the princess, in case you back......
Before he finished speaking, he saw Xin Nian raise his hand and said solemnly, "I said, not only for my sister, but also for self-protection. If you can't teach the concubine a lesson, Qingliangyuan will never have peace."
"That's right."
Lychee sighed. Suddenly, Xin Nian raised his eyebrows, and said softly, "The prince is here."
Lychee was surprised, and the next moment, she heard the little girl outside the door say loudly, "The prince is here."
"Huh?"
Lychee gave Xin Nian a thumbs up, and then followed her to the door with Xinghua, and sure enough, she saw Gu Changting striding in.
The three masters and servants hurriedly saluted, Gu Changting waved his hand, and when he saw the lychee, he asked lightly, "Are you all here?"
"Yes. Aunt Meng will not give up, and we are all serving in Qingliang Courtyard now."
Gu Changting nodded: "It's okay. Feng Rong and Nian Nian were the best when she was alive, and now that she is gone, you should come and serve Nian Nian, Feng Rong Quan will be pleased if he knows it."
"Yes."
Lychee's eyes turned red, and she heard Xin Nian again: "I don't need so many people in my yard, I just happened to assign a few people to go to the West Cross Courtyard, and there were only two or three girls around Aunt Qin and the third girl, which was really thin."
"Okay, it's up to you."
Gu Changting sat down on the chair, Xin Nian sat on the opposite side, and saw her husband looking at her gently, and said with a smile: "I will go to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to practice in two days, and I will only come back a year ago, I plan to bring Liuzai, do you want to play with Yaya with me for two days?"
"Play?" Xin Nianliu frowned: "What are these words? It's a camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and it's not an autumn hunting companion, you can take a few female dependents to see the world. What is the barracks? When the soldiers see it, what will they say about you?"
Gu Changting laughed and stroked his palms: "My thoughts are really worthy of being the Tiger Girl of the Gate, if others hear such news and don't know how to be happy, you should think of these first. Don't worry, I have a house near Jingying, but the conditions are a little simpler, but you shouldn't care, just relax, go there with Yaya for two days, and when the mood comes, you can also ride a horse and hunt, although I am in charge of Jingying, but my status is limited, I have to be measured, and I can't live with the sergeants."
He said it vaguely, and Xinghua Lychee was very puzzled, but Xin Nian immediately understood: The respect of the prince, mingling with the soldiers of the Beijing camp, this is a taboo. Even if the emperor trusted Gu Changting, the prince and his courtiers would not agree.
When I think about it like this, I am relieved, because I slowly brushed it up
He muttered with a handkerchief, "I'm very excited, but I'm just seeing that it's the New Year, and there are many things in the house, and I'm still in charge of the kitchen......
"Isn't there Du Sanniang in the kitchen? You've told me a few times that she's well taken care of, and I think it's really good. What's more, you don't stay there until the New Year, you play for two days, and come back when you've had enough, I'll take Liuzai with me, and when I return home after the New Year, I won't delay for two miles."
The sky is high and the clouds are galloping, how long has it been since I did it? Eight years? Decade? Xin Nian can't remember clearly, but she remembered that she was still a graceful girl at that time, and in a blink of an eye, the children were so old.
The pride that has been sealed for a long time has been aroused little by little, and once the yearning is raised, it will be unstoppable, Xin Nian raised his eyes and looked at Gu Changting: In any case, this man is quite affectionate, and he still remembers that he likes to ride a horse and covet freedom.
Nian moved with his heart, Xin Nian added a little genuine smile to his face, and nodded, "In this case, the concubine will thank the prince."
Gu Changting saw that her haggard face finally added some brilliance, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Between husband and wife, what do you say thank you or not, don't you hear that it is difficult to buy a smile? If you can be happy, everything I do will be worth it."
This seems to be the sweet words that men are born with, Xin Nian didn't care much about it, but remembered something again, and hurriedly said to Gu Changting: "The military camp experience is a rare opportunity, if you only take Liuzai there, you will inevitably have gossip, it is better to bring several young masters in the family over, the children are older, and they should also see the world."
Gu Changting said lightly: "How can the military camp be convenient and comfortable at home? Those boys, if I say it, their mother will not want to do it first."
"There are many gentlemen in the rich township, and the prince has to make up his mind about this matter. People say that the son is not the fault of the father, so it can be seen that this matter of raising a child cannot be spoiled by the mother."
"Well, it's a long-term thought." Gu Changting arched his hand at Xin Nian: "I'm not as good as you in this regard. Anyway, just bring a few boys with you."
"Okay. Then I'll simply clean it up, and ask the third girl by the way, if she also wants to go out for a walk, I'll take it with me, and now you only have this one sister in the house, and you should take care of it."
Gu Changting didn't have much brother-sister affection for Gu Yunxiang, but since Xin Nian said so, he naturally wouldn't be disappointed, so he nodded and agreed.
Here, Xin Nian first made a list and asked Xinghua to go to the warehouse to withdraw it. Suddenly, I heard Lychee next to me say, "There are a lot of things, I'll go over with Xinghua, it's almost like a trip back and forth."
"It's okay, if you feel that you can't take it, then call the two mothers-in-law to follow."
"Yes."
