Chapter 137: Confidante
Su Chengcheng did not speak.
She still can't forgive herself, and now that she thinks about it for a while, she is afraid that if something happens to Lu Xuerou's child, she is afraid that she will collapse even more than Lu Xuerou.
"This thing...... Did you tell the priest? Lu Xuerou said lightly.
Su Tingcheng didn't react at first, and just wanted to ask, but when he realized that she was referring to the Buddha beads, he shook his head and said, "No, I thought about waiting for you to wake up and talk to him myself." ”
"That's fine, let's not tell him." Lu Xuerou turned her head to look at the top of her head, unable to see the emotions in her eyes.
"Why?"
"He will feel guilty if he knows, and he can't do anything if he knows it, now King Duan and Princess Huaining are the two most favored people in front of the emperor's grandfather, and Si Yan can't fight them."
Su Qingcheng always thought that Lu Xuerou couldn't understand these things, but how could her daughter, who had been raised in a big family since she was a child, not understand this royal scheming?
"Actually, I grew up with Si Yan since I was a child, and I know better than anyone that he is not the material to be the emperor, and I also know that the title of this imperial grandson is only because the saint does not want to give way so quickly, so it fell on Si Yan's head," Lu Xuerou said slowly, she knew that Su Qingcheng was listening, "I just hope that one day, our family of three can be safe and find a mountain forest to live in seclusion." ”
Su Chengcheng didn't know what to say for a while, and the two were silent for a long time.
Lu Xuerou spoke first: "I'm a little tired. ”
"Then I'll go out and deal with the affairs of the front hall first, and you can rest."
"Hmm."
Su Qingcheng changed out of his bloodstained clothes, tidied up and went out.
Ye Yutai had been waiting for her in the courtyard.
"Done?" He said gently.
"Well, now go to the banquet, and the prince will accompany me." Su Chengcheng couldn't tell how she felt when she saw Ye Yutai, she only felt that he was there, and she was extremely relieved.
"Okay, take these things, I'll let people go to taste the tea that Xianming bought."
Su Qingcheng was shocked, she didn't expect Ye Yutai to be so careful, but she couldn't help but laugh when she heard the word "buy": "The teahouse belongs to the prince, just take it directly." ”
"No, the teahouse belongs to the princess."
She didn't want to argue with Ye Yutai, and the two came to the banquet one after the other.
After Su Chengcheng bowed, he said: "I'm tired of you today, the princess and the princess are safe, these teas are the characteristics of my first immortal tea, everyone take them back to the house and taste them." ”
Everyone was pleasantly surprised, although it was inevitable that people would be a little angry when they were detained in Su Mansion, but now that the imperial princess and concubine gave birth safely, they were all relieved, they only felt that they were unlucky, they encountered such an incident, they didn't expect Su Qingcheng to be so thoughtful, as a princess, she could still think about everyone so much.
"Princess, the old minister has the courage to ask, why did the princess suddenly have an accident today?"
Everyone asked curiously.
"I don't know who it was, the fragrance on her body stimulated the princess, which caused her to give birth a few days prematurely."
"I see, so who is this person, does the princess know? I don't know if it's intentional or a coincidence. ”
Su Qingcheng hooked the corners of his mouth invisibly, his eyes crossed the crowd directly, and stopped at Princess Huaining in the corner.
"I don't know about this, the safety of the little county lord is the most important thing," Su Qingcheng said lightly, "It's getting late, and Su Mansion has specially prepared a carriage for you." ”
Just as everyone was about to leave, Xie Dai suddenly stood up and stopped: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, the competition is not over yet." ”
He had been thinking about the secret book of King Wumu for many years, and he was about to get it, so he couldn't just forget it.
Only then did everyone think of the wonderful competition, and they all became interested: "Yes, who won and who lost the game just now?" ”
"I remember that it seems that the son of the Xie family is about to win."
"Nonsense, the son of the Zhou family is still standing on the competition platform."
Su Qingcang came out to uphold justice, thought for a while and said: "The matter of the imperial concubine happened suddenly, which led to the interruption of the competition, so let the two princes choose whether to continue to compete now or another day." ”
Zhou Rushuang bit her lower lip tightly, the handkerchief on her hand had already gathered into a ball, and she looked at her scarred brother, feeling very distressed.
Everyone's eyes fell on Xie Songjin and Zhou Yuanshan.
Xie Songjin casually glanced at Zhou Yuanshan and said, "Let's compare it another day, it's too late today." ”
Zhou Yuanshan also stood up and said, "There is no need to compare, I lost." ”
He knew that Xie Songjin saw that he was too seriously injured and there was no way to compare, so he said that he would change the day.
But he knew that no matter how many times he compared, he wouldn't be able to win against Xie Songjin.
"Since this is the case, it is the son of the Xie family who has won, and I will personally come to the door another day to deliver the secret book of King Wumu."
As Su Qingcang's words fell, Xie Dai burst out laughing, and the people around him also stepped forward to congratulate him.
The people of the Zhou family gathered around Zhou Yuanshan and cared about his injuries.
"Brother, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have ......" Zhou Rushuang looked at Zhou Yuanshan worriedly and said guiltily.
"Regardless of your business, this is what my brother wants to do before he goes, you don't have to think about it." He touched Zhou Rushuang's head and comforted.
Even so, there is still a frustration in his eyes that can't be hidden, and he can't fight for a shelter for his sister who has been pampered and loved by him since childhood.
The second son of the Zhou family clenched his fists and said indignantly: "I knew that I also went to practice martial arts at the beginning, or I would go to practice hard for a few months now, and then go to the Xie family to duel." ”
Zhou Rushuang shook her head with tears in her eyes, she didn't expect the two brothers to do so much for her: "No need for the second brother, Rushuang will not be jealous when she marries, and will take care of the backyard." ”
At this time, Xie Songjin walked over.
He was not far from Zhou's house just now, and the conversation of several brothers and sisters was also audible.
"Since I married Miss Zhou, I Xie Songjin will definitely respect and love my wife," Xie Songjin looked at Zhou Yuanshan and said with a serious face, "And my Xie family has a rule, a man can only take a concubine if he has no children at forty, please rest assured Brother Zhou, my sister will not be wronged if she marries." ”
The Xie family does have such a family rule, but few people know about it.
Xie Songjin said it in front of the Zhou family, undoubtedly giving Zhou Rushuang a promise in public.
Zhou Rushuang looked at the man in front of him seriously, although he was slender, but because of his martial arts, he looked strong and powerful, and he felt quite secure.
Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she shyly lowered her head and desperately drilled behind her brother.
Zhou Yuanshan was relieved when he saw her appearance: "With Brother Xie's promise, I am also relieved, let's leave first, and when the holy decree comes down in a few days, we will meet again." ”
After the Zhou family said goodbye, Xie Songjin looked in the direction of Su Chengcheng.
She was talking and laughing with Ye Yutai.
Xie Songjin suddenly felt that a stone in his heart had fallen to the ground, and he was about to look forward.
The guests all left, and Liu Rumei and Su Ruoxi also returned to the room early.
Su Qingcang mysteriously pulled Su Qingcheng and Ye Yutai under a peach blossom tree in the backyard of Su Mansion.
He crouched down, rolled up his sleeves, and began to dig with his bare hands.
Su Qingcheng was puzzled: "Daddy, what are you doing here?" ”
