At night, the showers accompanied by the warm current of summer swept and fell. Last night, the thunder was very loud, coupled with the heavy humidity, Yuan Xi couldn't sleep well over and over, every time he closed his eyes, he felt a noisy sound in his ears, messy ears, and a female ghost in black had fluffy hair, revealing half of her bloody face. It has been standing in the room, refusing to leave, staring at Won-hee with a pair of gloomy and mournful eyes.

She was motionless, but she came and went. Won-hee also thought it was a dream, but the sharp noise in her ears upset her. I had nightmares several times in a row, and it wasn't until dawn that I closed my eyes.

I didn't sleep well at night, and I didn't have much energy during the day, but I heard Zhong's mother say that Aunt Yu came to visit the palace, and Yuan Xi had to get up to greet him. After listening to Aunt Yu say everything Yuan Yue said, Yuan Xi was also a little surprised.

"Second sister really said that?" Yuan Xi leaned on a soft pillow and supported his bulging lower abdomen.

Aunt Yu sat on the seat opposite her, nodded seriously, but was a little hesitant: "That's the case, Yue'er said that as long as the sixth master agrees to this matter, she will agree to this marriage." It's just that, in my opinion, this idea is really unrealistic. The sixth master is a man, how could he bear it on the wedding night, the big day. What's more, even if he endures the wedding night, what about the days to come? Sooner or later, he will not be able to bear it, man. I just don't know what she will do with Yuanyue's character. ”

Aunt Yu raised the eyebrows of the old gentleman floating in the bowl and sighed: "Your second sister's temperament, I don't know who is influenced by it." It's weird and occlusive. ”

Mother Zhong brought a plate of silver silk rolls and sent them to Aunt Yu, and said with a smile: "Aunt Yu, this is a new dim sum made in the small kitchen, you can try it." ”

Aunt Yu thanked her with a smile, and said to Yuanxi: "What the old lady means is that you can't ask the sixth master for this, in order to maintain the face of the Wei family." ”

"Don't ask?" Yuan Xi looked at Aunt Yu intently: "I'm afraid this is not okay, isn't this a lie to the second sister?"

"Queen Mother, if you don't cheat, I'm afraid that Yuanyue won't marry. Aunt Yu put down the bowl: "Don't you know, that day, the internal prison came to deliver the decree, Yuan Yue's desperate look, the old lady and the old man were frightened, and Xiang'er kept staring at her, and the old lady also stayed up all night in the flower hall, I was afraid that Yuan Yue would not be able to think about it and do something stupid." ”

Yuanyue's loss of soul, Yuanxi can think of it, but she doesn't know what else she can do for Yuanyue.

For this holy decree, she had a big quarrel, and she was so exhausted that she almost lost her tire. Rong Zhan was also forced to be helpless, afraid that she would really be angry, so she had to hide quietly.

Rong Zhan wanted to coax her, but she could also see that since it was Yuanyue's marriage, it was not the usual trivial things that could be backed down. It can't help but be related to the name of this January month, and it is also about the face of the Wei family. Even if Rong Run loves Yuanyue, he is a man after all, a man with strong blood, can he accept that his wife is not perfect?

This is a sin done by his brother, but Xiao Rongshen is dead, who else can this debt fall on except for Yuanyue?

"That's not good, either you really send someone to ask the sixth master, or you can tell the second sister calmly. Auntie, although the second sister is timid, but also resolute and persistent, she is sensitive, if she is deceived by her family, think about it, how desperate will she be then?" Yuan Xi stroked his abdomen: "Now, I am also going to be a mother, and I can gradually understand the love of my father and grandmother for my second sister, but some things seem to be good for her, but in fact, they will harm her." ”

Aunt Yu was stunned for a moment: "What does Niangniang mean by this?"

"Nothing special, just literally. My aunt thought that if she had deceived her at this time, would things in the future be able to push the boat smoothly? Impossible, Yuan Yue would never accept it. ”

Yuan Xi twisted a piece of Ejiao cake, took a bite, and swallowed it.

"If you really force Yuanyue to that point, I'm afraid my grandmother will regret it. ”

Aunt Yu stared at her and hesitated for a long time.

"Could it be that there is really any cause and effect in this?"

Yuan Xi shook his head firmly: "No." ”

"Since there is no right and wrong, why does Niang Niang say this?" Aunt Yu asked rhetorically: "If Yuan Yue really has an insoluble knot in her heart, then this kind deception may cause harm to her." But Niangniang also said that there is nothing right or wrong in this, and the concubine thought that it was better to lie to her than to let her drill the horns for the rest of her life. ”

Yuan Xi was too late to speak, Aunt Yu was a smart woman, if she said it too clearly, it was hard to guarantee that Aunt Yu would not guess.

"My aunt's life may be reasonable, but I still think that the opinion of the second sister should be respected in this matter. Auntie, you are kind-hearted, whether you treat me or your second sister, you treat us like a mother, treating us as your own. The aunt, the one who truly loves her daughter, can't bear to hurt and deceive her, even if her deception is out of good intentions. ”

Aunt Yu bit a silver silk roll and pondered Yuan Xi's words.

Yuan Xi didn't dare to continue, with Aunt Yu's acumen, she would definitely soon realize that she was deliberately hiding something. Yuan Xi smiled and interrupted: "I heard that the caravan has returned home?"

"Oh yes. Aunt Yu mentioned the caravan, and her smile gradually returned to her face: "These people are too calculating, the master just asked them to buy medicinal materials, who knew that they all took the opportunity to make private property, Niangniang knows, the people of the Western Regions are not familiar with the customs of our Dachu, so they are played around by those boys." Most of the people in the caravan made a small fortune. When the old man found out, he scolded them bitterly, saying that they were not doing their jobs properly, delaying their errands, and punished them for kneeling for the night. ”

Mother Zhong laughed in response: "Aunt doesn't know, the emperor also said that procuring medicinal materials is a chore, if the caravan takes the opportunity not to fill in itself, even the emperor will feel sorry for them." Although Master Wei is acting impartially, he is too harsh on himself. It is not easy to get all the medicinal materials in place, in this world, except for the famous Wei Mansion, who can buy these four rare medicinal materials in such a short period of time?"

Aunt Yu was praised by Mother Zhong, and there was a warmth in her heart, so she smiled and said: "This mother has praised it, it is already a great grace for the Wei Mansion to be able to do things for the emperor." If it is a normal errand, those people take the opportunity to make some money, and my lord also turns a blind eye, but this is a comprador medicinal herb for the Queen Mother, and it cannot be delayed. The emperor said this, for his subordinates, he can only be sincerely afraid, and he has repaid the king's kindness. ”

Yuan Xi leaned on the square pillow gently, the month was getting bigger and bigger, and after sitting for a while, he felt a sore back.

Aunt Yu looked at Yuan Xi's belly and was a little surprised: "Niangniang's belly seems to be bigger than the usual belly of more than six months." ”

Mother Zhong glanced at Yuan Xi and drove out several little girls serving in the hall.

"My aunt came just in time, if my aunt doesn't come, I will send someone to invite my aunt. ”

Aunt Yu looked at Yuan Xi: "Do you have any instructions?"

Yuan Xi lowered his voice, held his stomach with one hand, and said, "This matter is a little troublesome to say." Dr. Wang diagnosed that I was pregnant with twins. ”

Aunt Yu was stunned: "Double, twins?"

Mother Zhong also lowered her voice and said: "Presumably Aunt Yu also knows that twin sons are regarded as ominous, and in the Great Chu Palace for a hundred years, I have never heard of the occurrence of twin sons. ”

Aunt Yu nodded slowly, don't go to the palace, even if it is a folk, it is rare. Otherwise, how could it be regarded as a vision?

"Then, the emperor ......," Aunt Yu asked slowly.

"The emperor already knows. Mother Zhong replied.

"The emperor knows, what did the emperor say?" Aunt Yu was stunned for a moment.

"The emperor doesn't care about any bad omen, but there is no need to worry about this. Yuan Xi let out a long sigh: "I'm just worried that if the matter of the twins spreads, it will attract criticism, and if the courtiers take the opportunity to challenge the emperor, wouldn't it be troublesome?"

Is it a trouble, or a tricky * annoyance, Aunt Yu settled down and asked, "What does that Niangniang want to be a concubine for?"

Yuan Xi looked at her like a smile: "It's really my aunt's right, I really have something to ask my aunt." Doctor Wang said that most of the twins will be born prematurely, and I am afraid that I will not be able to give birth in October. According to the rules, after the concubine is eight months pregnant, the mother's family can enter the palace to take care of it, and at that time, the emperor will also send a decree to the aunt to enter the palace to take care of my childbirth. I thought that after I gave birth to a child, I would ask my aunt to take one of the children away, and as long as he left the palace, he would be raised wherever he wanted, and he would grow up in peace. ”

"Niangniang wants to take the princess out of the palace?!" Aunt Yu looked at Yuanxi in shock.

Mother Zhong said: "Although the queen mother is a descendant of the surname Chu and the Shangguan family, after all, she was raised in the Wei Mansion since she was a child, and she has long regarded her aunt as her biological mother. Niangniang said that she could only rest assured that this matter could only be entrusted to the Wei Mansion and her aunt. If the aunt refuses to help, then the little prince can only be a dead end. ”

It's not that Aunt Yu doesn't want to help, it's just that this matter is so big that she can't react for a while. Who is the prince, that is the flesh and blood of the Son of Heaven, and if she wants to take the emperor's son out of the palace to raise him, anyone will be equally surprised.

If she refuses to help, the little prince will die? Aunt Yu was a little surprised, even if the little prince is a twin, but he is the emperor's flesh and blood after all, who would dare to hurt him?

Seeing that she was puzzled, Mother Zhong sighed and said, "Aunt doesn't know, the people still kill infants, let alone this court with strict etiquette?"

Aunt Yu let out a long sigh and said resolutely: "In this case, as long as the concubine can trust the concubine, the concubine is naturally willing to share the worries of the concubine." ”

"The fewer people who know about this matter, the better, so I can only give it a go. Yuan Xi held his stomach, his eyes full of worry: "On the day of the birth of the palace, the people around me will be separated in advance, leaving only Mother Zhong, Ling'er, and Auntie, when the time comes, whether it is dead or alive depends on the creation." ”
