Chapter 133
Although the doctor said that it was based on the presumption of the pulse, but Zhou Xian Yang understood that it was just a modest word, the princess did take the child avoidance pills, just because they later reconciled, some days have not been close, so stopped.
The royal family’s diet was carefully instructed by them. In addition to taking the initiative to drink the child avoidance soup, he could not think of other possibilities.
With a belly full of anger, he went back to the Buddha Hall of the Royal Mansion to offer incense.
I can’t help but ask that never met Aunt Chu: What is your daughter thinking? She seems to be very good to me, to me, but I do not understand her. She has clearly stayed behind, supported me, and given me hope, but she herself ……
Zhou Xianyang suddenly realized something and immediately got up to go back to the Jing Yi Garden.
Today, Xiang Xiang invited her family to come and play in the garden again, her brother and sister-in-law either had official business or were busy taking care of things in the mansion and couldn’t be free, so her parents weren’t too happy to come over. The parents were not happy to come. Only the aunt took Xiangmang and Xiangwen into the garden, and the two siblings took a free ride.
As soon as Zhou Xian Yang returned, Zhen Ru greeted her, saying that the princess was waiting for guests and asked her to come and wait.
“Her Highness is enjoying the flowers at the Remote Wall Sea with the General’s wife, General Xiao Rong and the sixth miss of the Rong family. Does Your Highness want to go?”
Zhou Xian Yang had someone receive the gifts from the palace, and told Zhen Ru: “These are gifts from the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, so tell Your Highness and your aunt to look at them, and stay and play with them if they like them. If you like them, stay and play with them. I still have things to do, so I can’t accompany you. Auntie and the Rong family siblings should not be formal, just tell Her Highness where you want to go and what you want. If you find the garden acceptable, stay for a few more days and enjoy the company of Her Highness.”
After that, Zhou Xian Yang went straight to the direction of Kun Yu Xuan, where the pattern of the study had been restored.
Meng Zhenru was somewhat puzzled. Wangfei had called her here just to pick up King Yu, and now she could only glare at Xiao Bei in dissatisfaction.
Xiao Bei quietly falls behind Yu Wang and whispers to her, “He wasn’t very happy after leaving the palace, so he told Wangfei to keep an eye out.”
Meng Zhen Ru understands, and goes back to the guests’ faces, returning Yü Wang’s words one by one.
Rong Xiang Wen heard happy like what, began to pick the palace reward, and chewed a piece of pastry, said he will not go tonight.
Long’s not going to promise her that, last time she stayed here for a few days. Rong Xiangwang fist to row the boat, Rong Xiangmian instructed Linlang and a boy to follow the two siblings to take care of. He accompanied his aunt to talk, and took the opportunity to mention the matter of the Qi family wanting to talk about marriage.
“Qi Ming?” Upon hearing this, Long’s face showed joy. Qi Ming and Rong Xiangwang were familiar with each other, having grown up together in the capital, and hearing Xiangwang talk about him every time, he knew that he was a modest gentleman. Occasionally, when they saw each other at the ball, he respectfully came to greet her, so it was a good match.
“His Highness said that the second son of the Qi family has a good family and character, but it also depends on your aunt’s wishes, if it is feasible, the Qi family will be able to call the official matchmaker to the door.”
Before Long could speak, Rong Xiangwen’s shout came from the lake from that end, “Mother, are you really not coming? I’ll pick you a big lotus flower!”
At the sight of her daughter’s naivety, Long’s smile couldn’t help but flood out from the bottom of her eyes.
“You slow down, don’t fall into the lake.” Long exhorted in a high voice and sighed to XiangWen, “Family history and character are all well and good, but in the end, it’s still up to XiangWen himself to like it. This Jinling City’s children, which is not three houses and four concubines? I’ve experienced your second uncle’s single-mindedness, so I hope Xiangwen can get a husband like this.”
This …… Rong Xiangwen didn’t dare to make a guarantee.
Seeing her difficulty, Long immediately smiled and said, “I’m just thinking about it, so I’ll go back and ask Xiangwen what she means. Thank you and His Highness for taking the trouble.”
Xiang Wen laughed and said: “Auntie don’t have to be polite, Xiang Wen is my only sister, I naturally have to worry about her.”
“With your words I am relieved. Finish the big event of the two of them, even if I die and go to see your uncle, I will still be worthy of him.” Auntie suddenly got sad and reached out to ruffle Aimi’s broken hair that was blown around by the wind, “When you were small, I had two little mongrels with me, and I couldn’t take care of myself, so I couldn’t do anything for you. When they were older, you went to the palace again. Auntie is indebted to you.”
Xiangmian was a little embarrassed, “I know that aunt loves me, I even slept with aunt when I was little.”
“You still remember?” Long was a bit surprised, “At that time, your nanny was suffering from wind chill, and you refused to take any other moms. It was only when you were sent to me that you were able to get down to earth for a few days.”
Speaking of the past, Xiangmian was also a bit sad. Zhenru listened on the sidelines and was also mesmerized, waiting for the little girl below to come over before reminding, “Your Highness, the meal is almost ready, where is it being passed to?”
“Where is His Highness?”
“Kun Yu Xuan.”
“Go and ask him if he will eat with us, or eat there alone?”
Zhenru led the way.
Xiang Wen had harvested quite a lot and went ashore with a large lotus leaf placed upside down on his head for shade and several lotus flowers pinched in his hand.
Long was busy going to the lake to receive it.
Xiangwen watched from afar, and also unconsciously laughed along with the mother-daughter duo.
Zhenru quickly returns, “His Highness said he has something to do and won’t eat.”
Rong Xiangmian frowned: “What? Did you eat in the palace today?”
Zhen Ru saw no outsiders to her left and took the opportunity to tell the princess, “Xiao Bei said that his highness was not very happy after leaving the palace, and went to the Buddha Hall of the royal residence before returning, and has not been using the meal.”
Xiangmian was surprised that there were guests there and it was inconvenient to pursue the matter now, so he instructed Zhenru: “Send two little girls to deliver his meal. Tell him that if he doesn’t eat I’ll feed him myself.”
Hearing this, Zhenru burst out laughing and busily apologized, “Your Highness forgive me.”
She wasn’t like Lin Lang and Fei Yun Fei Xue who had spent years in the palace and were regimented. Xiang Xiang was more forgiving towards her and said, “Go.”
Zhou Xian Yang looked at the two large food boxes of exquisite meals and listened to Zhen Ru finish repeating the words of the princess, and was both angry and amused.
It was only when it was getting dark and the guests were about to leave that Zhou Xian Yang finally showed his face and together with Xiang Xiang sent the guests to the main gate of Jing Yi Yuan.
Xiangmang even pulled him along and said, “Brother-in-law is busy today, so I’ll have a drink with him when I have more time. Brother-in-law is a real person, unlike the fourth sister, who is very good at cheating when she drinks.
Seeing that he drank a bit too much today, Xiangmian instructed him, “Don’t ride a horse, ride with your mother’s sister.”
“Got it, sis.” Xiangwang went off with a red face, and got into the car without fail to receive another lecture.
Listening to the family of three bickering away, Xiangwang felt that even the Jing Yi Yuan was instantly quiet.
She looked back at Zhou Xianyang with a smile, “Is His Highness still not finished?”
Zhou Xian Yang smiled, “Alright, go back.”
They went back to the garden together, holding hands, and Xiang Xiang first pulled him to Feng Ming Xuan, which had been converted into her zither and painting room.
But this time, she didn’t play the zither and paint in the past, there were a few exquisite brocade boxes placed on the desk, next to a post.
“On the tenth day of the first month, my sister’s youngest daughter is having a 100-day banquet, can you accompany me?”
Zhou Xian Yang opened the boxes, looked at the gifts she prepared, as well as the written gift list, and asked, “Why did you prepare three?”
Xiang Xiang smiled and picked up a small gold bracelet worn by a child and placed it in front of her eyes, her eyes glowing as she looked at him through the small gold circle: “The other two are for the twin children in front of my sister. Children’s hearts are very sensitive, it’s not good to make them think that the big guys are going to like the little sister.”
“You are thoughtful …… Do you like children a lot?”
Rong Xiangxian’s face was stunned, put down the bracelet and closed the brocade box, “Not really, it depends on whose child it is. My second sister’s child, I naturally like it.”
Zhou Xian Yang looked up, his gaze soft: “What about our child?”
Rong Xiangmian smiled somewhat sheepishly, “Your own child, of course, hurts the most …… ” After finishing, she immediately changed the topic, “These gifts are all I used my own money to pay for, I did not use the money in the king’s government. ”
Zhou Xian Yang was displeased, “We’ve been married for so long, and you still have such a clear distinction?”
“Although your highness doesn’t mind, but in the end it’s my mother’s family’s business, it’s not good to put the extra expenses, all counted in the royal family’s account, so it’s better to do it together. By the way, you haven’t said whether to go or not?”
“Chang Guo Gong’s body is still like that?”
“Yes, he can’t get out of bed anymore. The reason for organizing the 100th day banquet is to make him happy. His Highness returned to the capital, have not seen him right?”
“Uh-huh.” Zhou Xian Yang said, “He is also a minister of the national dynasty, I should go and visit.”
“Good!” Xiangmian was satisfied, originally a child’s 100th day banquet, each royal family had made arrangements, sent someone to send a gift and that was it, and rarely came to the door in person.
She held Zhou Xian Yang’s arm and went back to the bedroom.
The doorway of the bedroom is open, inside Lin Lang Fei Yun Fei Xue kneeling on the ground, there are a few packets of captured medicines on the ground. Xiao Nan is at the side, looking grim, I think it was just searched out.
So he said “well”, is this meaning.
Xiang Xiang instantly let go of his hand and questioned, “You were in my room, copying my things and punishing my people?”
Zhou Xian Yang said, “I was only looking for something that the crown princess didn’t tell me about, I didn’t make them punish their knees. The things were searched at Feiyun Feixue’s place, and before it became public knowledge, it was better to send them here.”
Aimi pulled up the two maids, “Your Highness only sentenced me, it is irrelevant to them.”
“Why not?” Zhou Xian Yang got angry, “The child avoidance soup medicine, drinking too much of it will hurt you, they didn’t know to dissuade you, they even helped you hide it from me, buying and boiling the medicine, how can they be forgiven?”
Feiyun Feixue heard, anxious: “Your Highness spare your life, slave girl does not know that this medicine hurts the body ……”
Xiangmian tugged on his sleeve and softened his tone, “Let them go down, if there is any fault, I will lead myself.”
Zhou Xian Yang looked at her helplessly, heartbroken and irritated, and unable to do anything about her, and finally said, “All go out! Xiao Nan, take these things and burn them, don’t let any of them see them.”
Xiao Nan took the order and went out to close the door behind her before Zhou Xian Yang asked Xiangmian, “How many times have you drank?”
“How many times have we had it, and how many times have I drunk it?”
His breath stuttered and he was filled with shame, “Don’t touch it again in the future.”
Aimi pursed her lips and made up her mind, “I don’t want a child yet. Ever since I guessed what you were plotting, I’ve thought about it. I can take risks, but I can’t let my child take risks with me.”
“I won’t let anything happen to you!” Zhou Xian Yang didn’t know how to gain her trust and said urgently, “Naturally, I won’t let anything happen to our child either.”
Seeing that he was sweating from anxiety, Xiangmian moved closer to him, stood on her tiptoes and gently embraced him, resting her head on his shoulder, “I know you’ll do your best to keep us safe, but who can say what will happen in the future?
I’m afraid, I’m afraid of giving birth to a child and not being able to be responsible for the rest of his life. I’m afraid that one day, the Yuhuang Mansion will collapse and he will have to die along with us, and even if he survives, it will be a very difficult life. I don’t want to give birth to several children who are as unhappy as us.”
“Unhappy?” Zhou Xian Yang stroked the princess’s hair, “Are you unhappy even now?”
“Right now, the happiness I have now, I think it’s a fluke, I can enjoy it for a moment and consider it earned.”
“Is there anyone whose days are all happy? You said, as long as one lives, there is hope.”
“That’s because fate has thrown you in the mud, that’s what I say. But now, I don’t want our children to come out of the mire. Wait, will you, until the day when I feel I can give him a smooth life and we have another child.”
“Okay, I won’t force you.” Zhou Xian Yang wrapped his arms around her back and said softly, “You don’t need to drink any more medicine from tonight, I’m going to stay at Kun Yu Xuan.”
“Xianyang ……,” Xiangmian returned to her senses, her heart was so mixed that she didn’t know what she could say.
Zhou Xian Yang gently patted her back and said in relief, “Kun Yu Xuan is not far from here, I’ll come and take care of things, don’t be afraid.”
Xiangmian raised her head from his shoulder and looked at him with tears in her eyes. Zhou Xian Yang only felt a heat in his heart and held the back of his wife’s neck and kissed her hard.
The two people hugged each other tightly, coveting the gentleness given by the other, gradually becoming enamored.
Zhou Xian Yang immediately let go of the Wang Concubine and gently rubbed her face, ”When I’m with you, I always forget my feelings. Have your people send me something over.”
