Chapter 196: A Familiar Stranger
The curfew time has passed, and Yang Qicheng has only gone home.
The table was full of dishes, but Yan Fangxiang sat alone.
Yang Qicheng said suspiciously: "Neither the second son nor Shengnan came back?" ”
Yan Fangxiang smiled: "Shengnan is pregnant and vomits badly, so the second son accompanied her back to the bedroom." ”
Yang Qicheng was stunned, pregnant, if I remember correctly, it has only been more than a month since the two of them had a round house, right? It will take at least a month for Lang Zhong to diagnose Ximai, so it is estimated that Chen Shengnan should have been pregnant within three days after the round house.
Yang Qicheng looked at Yan Fangxiang cautiously.
At this time, Yan Fangxiang's face was filled with deep joy, but Yang Qicheng read a trace of envy and loneliness from it.
The two have been married for a year and a half, and Yan Fangxiang's stomach is still not moving.
Yang Qicheng sandwiched a bowl full of dishes for Yan Fangxiang, and deliberately excitedly said: "Lady, there are a few little officials who have been waiting for an opportunity to humiliate me, and I have been avoiding them. I heard that the prince took the Gyeonggi camp to change guards after the curfew, and I deliberately collided with the junior officials, delayed until the time of the change of guards, and let them leave. ”
Although Yang Qicheng does not have an official rank, he still has brains and will use his strength to fight.
What's ridiculous is that those little officials thought that Yang Qicheng had become a toothless tiger and bullied him arbitrarily, but they forgot that the toothless tiger, as well as the tail and claws, was easy and pleasant to deal with them.
Yan Fangxiang let out an "oh", her spirit was stupid, and she didn't eat a few bites of food, and then went back to her room.
In the middle of the night, Yan Fangxiang had a nightmare, and she couldn't wake up no matter how she woke up, and she woke up when Yang Qicheng bit her ear and called her name.
Yan Fangxiang burst into tears, hugged Yang Qicheng's waist tightly, and choked up: "Xianggong, it's all my fault, I, I dreamed of my son, he said that I didn't teach him well, abandoned him, the cycle of cause and effect, so God will punish me for not having my own children in my life......"
Yang Qicheng patted Yan Fangxiang on the back until she was in a more stable mood, then she turned around with a deep groan, took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms, handed it to Yan Fangxiang and said: "Fangxiang, you haven't been pregnant, it's not your fault, it's me, the cotton seed powder I deliberately ate, and I didn't let you ......get pregnant."
Yan Fangxiang was completely dumbfounded, she had not been pregnant for a year and a half after getting married, and she had always had two guesses: one guess was that God was reborn alone because she failed to protect her son in her previous life, and punished her for not having any more sons in this life; Another speculation is that the son of the previous life followed Zhu Guangwen and also had violent tendencies, and he was afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past, so he did not dare to give birth.
Yan Fangxiang has been looking for reasons in herself, blaming herself for all kinds, and she didn't expect it to be caused by Yang Qicheng's intentional eating of cotton seeds for contraception.
Why is that?
Yang Qicheng did not hide it, and directly said the answer: "Fangxiang, I have been the commander of the secret guard for many years, although I have not done a lot of evil, but it is a fact that I often rob others and exterminate the clan. I'm afraid that someone will retaliate against you and your children...... That's why ......"
Yan Fangxiang looked at Yang Qicheng in a daze, this familiar man who couldn't be more familiar with him had become so strange at this moment.
Yan Fangxiang choked up and said, "So, it's not that I don't give birth, but that you don't want our children?" ”
Yang Qicheng nodded, and shook his head again: "It's not that I don't want to, but when I destroy the strongest opponent and ensure your safety, I will ask for our children......"
Yan Fangxiang looked at Yang Qicheng pitifully: "Then when do you think it's safe enough?" A year later? Three years later? Or for a lifetime? ”
Yang Qicheng didn't answer in a daze, this, he really couldn't answer, he only muttered: "Fangxiang, whether there are children or not, I really don't care...... Moreover, don't the second sons have children? We can treat it as if it were our own......"
Yan Fangxiang's voice was muffled: "But, I care." ”
Yang Qicheng was powerless to refute.
Yan Fangxiang had already put on a fox fur and muttered, "Recently, I was rushing to run for the imperial merchant fabric, and I went to live in the embroidery room." ”
Yang Qicheng: "......"
.
Before the Spring Festival, the queen held a flower-viewing banquet, and all the family members of officials from the fourth grade or above had to participate, Chen Shengnan was in the list and received the request, but Yan Fangxiang did not receive it and was excluded.
This is the first time Chen Shengnan has been invited to participate in the palace banquet, and there are two officials and relatives who are older than her pregnancy month and have not taken leave, and Chen Shengnan is not easy to take leave, so he can only participate in it.
Yan Fangxiang sent her all the way outside the palace gate, and told her: "Shengnan, the palace is no better than the palace, and it is a felony to kill your head if you make a mistake in a little way." Have you learned all the etiquette? Don't make the wrong salute, especially don't confuse the concubine with the queen; When the officials and their relatives chat, pretend to be dumb and listen, don't answer with your mouth, and smile if you can't answer; Bear with your temper and don't compete with others......
The second lady has already said hello, you follow Mrs. Cao, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Xu after entering the palace, how do they do it, you follow how to learn, just become a parrot, don't be left alone......"
Chen Shengnan couldn't cry or laugh: "Sister-in-law, since before you received the invitation to the palace banquet, you have been verbose, you have not broken your mouth, and my ears are almost calloused when I hear it." I repeat, I learned etiquette; I learned to pretend to be dumb; Shut up; Absolutely do not scold back, do not fight back...... You're relieved this time, right? ”
Yan Fangxiang shook her head again: "Shengnan, I didn't mean to let you absolutely tolerate it." When I married Qi Cheng, he gave me a dagger as a dowry gift, telling me that if I encountered danger in the future, no matter who the other party was or how high his status was, just hurt him and kill him, and he would come to deal with the aftermath. Today, I give you this sentence again, there is no danger, you can bear it; If there is danger, whether it is right or wrong, life comes first, we have always stood behind you, sharing blessings and hardships with you. ”
Chen Shengnan's original ridiculous mood was not a taste in an instant, and her sister-in-law, who had always been cautious, actually told her that her life came first, this is the real relative.
Chen Shengnan put away the joke, and his face was awe-inspiring: "Sister-in-law, I know the severity and will never take the initiative to cause trouble; But if you take the initiative to provoke me, I will never let them bargain! ”
The rising sun was reflected on her face, indescribably brilliant and colorful.
Yan Fangxiang waved her hand: "Go ahead, I'll wait for you to come out outside." ”
Chen Shengnan strode into the palace gate, a heroic and sassy female general, where can it be seen that she is a little woman who is three months pregnant.
Sitting in the carriage, Yan Fangxiang was thinking about things.
Last month, Helan Yi also found out that she was pregnant, and I don't know if she and Chen Sheng will be male dolls or female dolls;
She has been separated from Yang Qicheng for almost two months, and every time she sees Yang Qicheng's pitiful gaze, Yan Fangxiang's heart softens; remembered that he hadn't been pregnant for a year, and he wasn't angry.
Yang Qicheng said that he was afraid of bringing danger to the child, and the man Shengnan was not well conceived...... Why can't you be alone......
Thinking of this, Yan Fangxiang felt that she was depressed again.
Thinking about it, Yan Fangxiang's brain became confused.
