Chapter 253: The Punishment That Was Promised
The first rays of sunlight in the morning shone into the curtain, and Won-hee turned over. I slept all night, but I still felt tired. There was a little pain in my back, probably because I had been lying down for too long and couldn't get bloody. The legs are also a little sore, probably because they walked too long last night. But last night it was obviously for Rong Zhan to bring it back? Yuan Xi opened his eyes, it didn't seem to be so bright, why don't you sleep for a while?
Mother Zhong quietly lifted the curtain: "Niangniang, do you want to get up?"
The head was still groggy, and what happened last night had broken into pieces, and Won-hee rubbed his eyes. When I raised my hand, I felt that my arm was also sore and painful.
Yuan Xi opened his eyes and saw that Zhong's mother was looking at herself with a smile. Following Zhong's mother's gaze, there were still purple red and light red kiss marks on her fair skin, and Yuan Xi was busy pulling at her clothes.
Mother Zhong pursed her lips and smiled: "The prince specially instructed Shi Yushui to make you some medicinal food to nourish your body, do you want to get up and taste it? ”
Yuan Xi woke up, what were you doing last night? Oh yes, Lan Yu.
"Lan Yu has already been sent away?"
Mother Zhong nodded: "We were separated on the official road before dawn, Qin Shun hired a car for Qingxue and them, and when they arrived in Tongzhou, there would naturally be someone from the prince to pick them up, everything was arranged, you don't have to worry." ”
Won-hee sighed.
"Mother, can the slave help you up? Sleep too long, you shouldn't be able to sleep at night. ”
Who said that? Just Rong Zhan's tossing method, it's hard to fall asleep. Several times Won-hee didn't know what time it was, fainted from exhaustion, and didn't wake up until dawn.
Won-hee propped himself up and sat up, his arms and legs clicking, as if he had just returned from planting rice in the field. Yuan Xi rubbed his shoulder, what happened to Rong Zhan, and the shoulder blade was red. Won-hee pulled a strand of hair over it.
"Has the prince gone to court?"
Mother Zhong smiled: "Niangniang, you have slept until three o'clock in the morning, the prince has already retired and returned, and he is in the study at this time." ”
It was so late, Won-hee let out a long sigh of relief, it seemed that he was too tired last night.
"Then Prince Heli didn't embarrass the prince in the court, right?"
Mother Zhong shook her head: "I don't know about this slave, but the prince's expression was quite normal when he came back, and he also made a joke with the slave." ”
That's fine, Won-hee got out of bed and took the towel on the shelf to wash his face.
Mother Zhong took the green salt that wiped her teeth and handed it to Yuan Xi: "But later, Concubine Zhao went to ask the prince to say goodbye, which caused the prince to lose his temper again." ”
Yuan Xi raised his head: "Why?"
Mother Zhong hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "It seems to be because of last night's incident." ”
Last night?Yuan Xi looked at Mother Zhong: "There was no Concubine Zhao last night?"
Mother Zhong responded: "It's without her, but doesn't the mother think it's strange? The prince has never slept so early, but he was sleepy last night?"
Yuan Xi wiped his face: "You mean?"
Mother Zhong covered her mouth and said: "The prince didn't say it explicitly, but listening to the meaning of his words, it seems that Concubine Zhao did something." But Concubine Zhao kept crying, and finally didn't admit it, the prince thought she was annoying, and said that she was hypocritical or something, and kicked her out of the study. ”
Oh. No wonder, no wonder I didn't see Zhao Kezhen yesterday, Yuan Xi just thought that she was the same as usual, and she was playing with her young lady's temper, and she was entangled with herself about the high and low greetings, but she didn't think that she actually had this mind. Yuan Xi couldn't help but shudder, is this going to kill me?
Mother Zhong sighed: "Niangniang is a generous person, and she has always let her, but this Concubine Zhao is inevitably heartless." Not to mention that she harmed the unborn little son, she also came to frame her mother. Her brother besieged the prince's mansion, or did the mother suppress this matter, how can she still dare to use such a trick in front of the mother?"
How dare she? As long as Rong Zhan's mind is on herself, Zhao Kezhen will not be able to give up for a day.
Won-hee was silent for a moment, quickly wiped his teeth, and rinsed his mouth.
The warm bird's nest porridge sent by Shi Yushui, a plate of cold yam, a plate of red date cake, and a plate of quiche. Won-hee stirred the porridge in the bowl, feeling that he had no appetite. Maybe she was too tired, and she didn't have much energy.
"Mother Zhong, you help me rub my shoulders. ”
Mother Zhong responded, a pair of powerful hands pushed on Yuan Xi's shoulders, and her mouth was not idle, and she said with a smile: "But it's also happy, the prince scolded her and punished her to copy the Buddhist scriptures, a full three hundred times of the "Myoho-renge-kyo", and if she can't finish copying, she won't be allowed to go out." That's enough for her to drink a pot. ”
When will she have to copy the scriptures 300 times? It seems that she is not available to attend the banquet in Laba.
Yuan Xi changed his clothes and went to see Rong Zhan. Rong Zhan was frowning at a stack of official documents, looking at him through the window, and felt more and more that Rong Zhan's eyebrows were beautiful, especially the eyebrows were raised lightly and his eyes were like water. Standing outside the window and looking at him quietly, I felt that I couldn't get enough of it.
Rong Zhan saw a shadow reflected on the official document, so he raised his head and saw Yuan Xi standing outside the window, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "What are you doing standing outside, come in." ”
Yuan Xi pushed open the door and walked to him: "What are you looking at?"
Rong Zhan put away the official document: "It's just a trivial matter." ”
Yuan Xi reached out and rubbed his frowning eyebrows: "What little thing can make you worry like this?" Yuan Xi paused: "You know what? I like to see you laugh the most." ”
Rong Zhan took Won-hee in his arms and gently put her wrist on his shoulder. There was a faint trace of purple on her neckline, Rong Zhan pulled her collar, and Yuan Xi lowered her head shyly: "Am I disturbing your office?"
Rong Zhan shook his head, with her, what official or not?
Yuan Xi looked at Rong Zhan blankly, more and more fascinated by his quiet smile, and hurriedly reached out to cover his eyes. Rong Zhan grabbed her hand: "What are you doing?"
"Don't smile at me, what if I think anything wrong about you?"
Rong Zhan kissed her in her ear: "That's right, just think, Lone is still worried that the crown princess is young and shy." ”
"Nasty. Won-hee's cheeks flushed, and he lightly hammered him on the shoulder.
Rong Zhan gradually withdrew his smile, looked at her gently, and after a long time, he asked weakly, "Xi'er, will you give me a child?"
Yuan Xi was stunned, Rong Zhan's hand was already on his lower abdomen, and he said softly: "I will take good care of your mother and son this time, and I will never let you suffer the slightest grievance." ”
Yuan Xi leaned on his shoulder, he hugged her silently, and said for a long time: "I blamed me for what happened last time, if I had been more careful, it wouldn't have been like this." I've been thinking about it these days, but I'm afraid to mention it to you. ”
"Are you going back to Donglin in the next year?" Wonxi asked suddenly.
Rong Zhan nodded: "Yes." But don't worry, I'll take you with me this time. You are not only my crown princess, but also the sect master of Donglin, and you should not abide by the old custom of leaving hostages when the prince left Beijing in Beijing. ”
"What if they stop it?"
"Who dares?" Rong Zhan glanced at him sharply: "I was too lenient with them before, so they let them hurt you." This group of bastards dared to make waves when they were not in the capital. I'd like to see, I'm taking my woman home, who would dare say more?"
Yuan Xi smiled: "When did my Ah Zhan become so tough?"
Rong Zhan looked down at her: "It always has been." ”
Rong Zhan gritted his teeth, remembering what Zhao Kezhen had said to him just now. Wei Yuanxi had a miscarriage, and the child he gave birth to would also be weak. And she is still good enough to give birth to a healthy heir for him. As long as Rong Zhan is willing, she can act as if nothing had happened before.
Rong Zhanqi's face turned pale, and he slapped it: "If it weren't for your father's face, Lonely would never have allowed you to live in this world for so long!"
She still wants to act as if nothing happened before? Dreaming! The first child of him and Yuan Xi died at the hands of Zhao Kezhen, where is it so easy to forget?!
Yuan Xi saw that he was distracted, so he leaned into his ear and asked, "Ah Zhan, do you like boys or girls?"
He was gentle: "Boys and girls like it, and it's best to have two." ”
As he spoke, he picked up Won-hee and walked to the bed behind the screen in the study. Yuan Xi struggled: "Don't. ”
"What don't?" Rong Zhan put her on the bed.
"I'm going to fall apart if I toss it any more. Yuan Xi lowered his head and muttered quietly.
Rong Zhan smiled slightly, pulled a thin quilt on the bed, and covered Yuan Xi. He turned around and took a box of ointment from the drawer, put it at his hand, carefully untied Wonxi's clothes, and removed the layers of clothes.
"Ah Zhan, you?" Yuan Xi wanted to get up, and was pressed under him again.
"Don't move. Rong Zhan commanded softly.
Won-hee was in the crook of his arm, and he couldn't run if he wanted to. Rong Zhan picked up some ointment with his fingertips and applied it to the kiss marks on Yuan Xi's body. Won-hee gradually quieted down, leaning on the soft pillow and looking at him.
"I can't imagine that our golden slave and silver maid serving the eldest prince can also do this kind of service thing?"
Rong Zhan hooked the corners of his lips: "Lonely concubine, what's the harm in serving?"
A bruise trail swept over his fingertips, causing Yuan Xi to snort.
"Does it hurt?" asked Rong Zhan.
Yuan Xi shook his head: "It's okay." ”
"I asked the imperial doctor, this ointment can invigorate blood and remove blood stasis, and I will go to the banquet in Laba soon, if people see these marks on your neck, it is not good. ”
Yuan Xi glanced at him disapprenosingly, who is to blame? If he hadn't pestered himself all day long, why would there be so many kiss marks. The ointment was cold when applied to the body, as if it had been applied to a piece of ice.
"I'll do it myself. ”
Rong Zhan applied the medicine, and Yuan Xi put on his clothes. Rong Zhan felt a little funny when he saw her restrained appearance, it seemed that he was really scared these days.
"By the way, Lan Chengjie left 40 million taels of silver and hid it in his hometown, and I have already asked Liu Tianbao to send someone to find it. The father said, don't make a noise about this silver, and tell you to use it as the military capital of the Ming and Sanwei. ”
Rong Zhan nodded, and couldn't help but sigh again: "Forty million taels of silver, this Lan Chengjie is really a good hand at collecting money, even more powerful than my old man." ”
Yuan Xi snorted: "My father is a businessman, and my family's silver is all earned from the truth, how can a corrupt official like Lan Chengjie be worthy of being compared with my father?"
Rong Zhan smiled: "Yes, yes, the concubine is so knowledgeable, let alone my father-in-law?"
