Chapter 91
Jiangzhou’s flooding subsided, the disaster relief compassionate resettlement of all things have been done, Zhou Xian Yang briefly reported.
The emperor has received the local officials of the folders, know that the relief money this time is the full implementation of the hands of the victims, but also to some of the houses seriously damaged another land to rebuild the house, so as not to be afraid of the annual flood season, is very happy: “In the past years, these silver will not be less than layers of exploitation. On the contrary, you, is a heart to do the job.”
“This is deserved. I do not understand the court official business, only the heart of this one thing can do.”
“Well, you go back to your home to rest first, and draft a report for the rest of the matters.”
“My son would like to go to the empress dowager and empress to greet them first. Imperial grandmother’s seventieth birthday, my son was unable to serve, and his heart is troubled.”
Mentioning this matter, the emperor raised his head and looked at Xian Yang, who knew nothing about the Empress’s difficulties with Princess Yuh, but still had to follow the rules to go and greet her, his heart was not in a good mood. He felt that he had wronged this child over the years. At the end of the day, he said, “Go and greet the Imperial Concubine, she is your mother.”
Zhou Xian Yang was slightly surprised, then smiled and said, “Yes.”
After asking for peace from the various palaces, Zhou Xianyang felt that something was wrong, and the big event of naming the Imperial Concubine alone came very suddenly.
Thinking about it, there was only one explanation: it was a way to beat up the Empress. He had a bad feeling about this, so he went to the Sunset Terrace and stood there for a while, then left the palace.
Fengxian pond near a teahouse, Chen Rixin arrived first.
He really knew about it.
Chen Rixin is responsible for the palace garden near the north palace gate, that day his small officers, in the garden witnessed the scene of Flying Cloud was taken back, scared and at a loss, go back to report to Chen Rixin, he realized that Yuh Wangfei out of the matter.
He sent people to secretly search, found that the Shoukang Palace door from the inside closed dead, must be people inside. In order to avoid revealing his close relationship with Yü Wang, he didn’t send anyone to trespass, and only had to report to Chief Duan through a familiar guard, saying that the guard had discovered the matter.
Although he was not clear about the details, he guessed a few points from the subsequent developments.
As Zhou Xian Yang listened, he was so angry that he crushed the white porcelain tea bowl in his hand.
“Your Highness, please calm your anger, since all the masters intend to conceal it, you might as well pretend that you don’t know.”
Zhou Xian Yang took a deep breath and calmed down before saying, “I don’t know how to thank you.”
Chen Rixin laughed, “Your Highness, you don’t have to be polite, it’s all part of the job.”
After Zhou Xian Yang left the palace and returned to his home, Rong Xiangmian had already prepared lunch and accompanied him.
Having barely had a peaceful meal outside, sitting in the Liuyun Hall at the moment, watching the falling flowers and using the delicacies made by the crown princess herself, it was truly a divine day. If he could, he wanted to live such a simple life for the rest of his life.
But being born in the royal family made him lose the right to choose.
Wangfei asked about what he had seen on the road and whether he had been tripped up. Zhou Xianyang hesitated for a while and felt that there was no need to say many things to make her worry, so he skipped over them and just picked out the fun ones and the irrelevant ones to talk about. He also asked how Wangfei was doing during this period of time.
She did the same, not mentioning a word about what happened in the palace. She only told him that there was a boy in the house who was bought by the Kai Wang family.
Zhou Xian Yang was not surprised, discussing how to deal with the follow-up, and did not ask much about the rest.
After the meal, he said he had to prepare a report and locked himself up in his study for the afternoon. Meng Zhenru came to serve him some tea and brought him a message saying, “Your Highness, Your Highness, has advised you not to focus only on official business, and to take a walk if you have been sitting there for a long time.”
Zhou Xian Yang puts down his pen and asks her, “On the day of the Empress Dowager’s birthday, what was so unusual about the Wangfei’s return.”
Meng Zhenru thought for a while, shook her head and laughed, “Nothing.”
This girl, she lied as if it were true. If he hadn’t inquired about some inside information from Chen Rixin, he really would have been fooled by her.
Yes, naturally, the entire house was informed by the crown princess not to talk much. Other than Xiao Nan, it was estimated that no one would dare to tell him.
However, Xiao Nan did not accompany her to the palace, so she would have to ask the Princess.
At night, Zhou Xianyang dragged Xiangmian to bed early.
She was so flustered that she put one hand against his chest to prevent her from coming closer, and covered her stomach with one hand with a frown on her face.
“Stomach hurts again?” Zhou Xian Yang puts his hand on her abdomen, seeing her sucking in cold air in pain, unable to help, what words are left behind.
“Did you take Shen Che’s medicine?”
Yang Yang couldn’t help but let out a soft “ouch” in pain before saying, “I drank it, no need to worry. Your Highness, go sleep in the study, don’t let me disturb your sleep.”
Zhou Xianyang refused, “I’ll talk with you. What do you want, I’ll get it for you.” Pain this thing he has experience, if the heart only focus on the pain, the more it hurts ten times, if something to divert attention okay.
Which back to the letter period, is not one person through the pain to go? Rong Xiangmian reluctantly smiled and said, “Many thanks to your highness.”
“Why are you calling your highness again? Didn’t you change your mouth that night?”
“I ……” Rong Xiangshi remembered that night and felt shy, “I’m afraid that if I’m used to calling you by your usual name, I’ll be rude outside.”
Zhou Xianyang moved over and gently hugged her, saying, “I like it when you’re rude.”
Rong Xiangyang was like being set on fire and hurriedly opened his hand, “Don’t make fun of me.”
“How is this teasing?” Zhou Xian Yang deliberately teased her, “You don’t know, I often dream of that night during the time I was away.”
Not realizing that he had become so immodest after not seeing her for more than a month, Xiang Xiang turned over and didn’t look at him, not wanting to listen to his nonsense.
Zhou Xian Yang found it extraordinarily amusing and wrapped his arms around her from behind, asking, “You didn’t? Then what are you doing holding my bedclothes?”
Sangmi became more and more anxious, and rolled back over to defend herself, “I’m just keeping it as a reminder that you’re still with me.”
Zhou Xian Yang hugged her tightly and kissed her on the lips, “Now that a living person is here with you, you’re ignoring it.”
She was wrapped into his arms, breathing in the air with his scent on the tip of her nose, and for a moment she forgot about the pain.
Zhou Xian Yang closed his eyes, not feeling satisfied. What the palace, what the former dynasty, do not want to mention, only want the two of them a small life.
Wangfei could not be honest in his arms for more than a quarter of an hour, and struggled to push away.
“What’s wrong?”
“You’re too hot, hugging you is like hugging a furnace.” Xiangmian covered her stomach, which was already hurting as if there was a furnace burning from the inside out.
Zhou Xian Yang touched the corner of her forehead, she was really sweating.
“Let’s go to Jing Yi Yuan to escape the summer heat?”
Only then did Rong Xiangmian remember, “His Majesty and the Empress Dowager are coming to the Jing Yi Garden to stroll around.”
Zhou Xian Yang said, “Good, let’s leave half of our men at home to watch over the house, and bring half of our men there to wait on them.”
Rong Xiangmian was a little weak: “Later, the eldest princess knew and said she wanted to come, then later, the seventh imperial uncle also knew, and then the king of Yun knew …… that I don’t know how, his majesty mentioned it again to the family of the central minister …… and then …… General Qi came again to ask how not to call him ……”
Zhou Xian Yang smiled and asked, “Just tell me how big a scene I want to run, right?”
“Not much not much, drafted twenty or thirty posts …… waiting for His Highness to come back to look over, the list will be sent out.”
Zhou Xian Yang resisted the urge to hold his forehead.
Since returning to the capital, he has always kept a low profile, and did not expect that after a month of not seeing him, the crown princess has given him such great decency.
Just as well, if it comes, it comes.
Then he said, ”After we got married, the first banquet, it has to be well organized. The big wedding is organized by Shuji Princess and the Da Nei, I’m afraid that this amount of manpower in our mansion is not enough.”
“It doesn’t matter, I sent someone to the house to ask for help. The Duke of State’s Office will bring people to help.”
Zhou Xian Yang listened to her detailing the arrangements and held her hand, “It’s hard for you to go to your mother’s house to get help. When it’s done, we’ll host a banquet in Jing Yi Yuan to thank them.”
“It is naturally good that you have this heart. However, there’s no need to be polite, people from my mother’s family are naturally your relatives as well. This garden was originally given to us by father. Letting him do his duty as a landlord to receive the driver, he has a bright face and is happy.”
Xian Yang was filled with emotion and gently kissed her forehead, “Thank you, Xiangmian, thank you for letting me have a home.”
Why wouldn’t Xiangmian feel the same way, she gently pulls on Yu Wang’s bedclothes, “Me too.”
Zhou Xian Yang puts her hand on his lips and kisses it a few more times, never daring to make any other oversteps for fear of forgetting his feelings for a moment and making the princess uncomfortable.
Noticing his carefully restrained gesture of goodwill, Xiang Xiang’s heart was very flattered, so he said, “Your Highness, it’s late at night, sleep at ease. I’ll watch over you and nothing will happen.”
Zhou Xian Yang was tired after traveling all night and a busy day. He closed his eyes and rested his mind, but he was slow to fall asleep, so Xiang Xiang gently patted him and hummed a song: Two little kittens, went up the mountain to steal peaches, one went up the tree, the other stood sentry, when they heard the dog barking, they came down and ran away, when the dog caught up with them, they had a good bite. Bite off the skin, bite off the hair, bite off the two tail tips, the pain of the kitten meow meow ……
As if understanding her words, the little black cat in the yard outside the house purred twice. Two people laughed at the same time.
Zhou Xian Yang’s eyelids were suddenly as heavy as a thousand pounds, as if he had returned to the days in Kun Ning Palace many years ago.
Mother Song sang and coaxed him in the same way, with his mother quietly guarding him from the sidelines. At that time he could fall asleep at any time.
Seeing the corners of his mouth hooked into a smile as he slept, Xiang Xiang was relieved.
Early the next morning, Zhou Xian Yang was in full spirits, a rare case of not waking up from start to finish, sleeping for five hours.
He was not in a hurry to get up, lying peacefully by the side of the princess, seeing that she was sleeping heavily, he could not bear to disturb her.
Through the bright light of the sky, he carefully measured his wife’s quiet sleeping face.
This time when they parted, his heart was tied up. Not just thinking about that night’s events, but holding on to the fact that she was afraid of sleeping alone in the house. Going to the palace the Empress gave her aggression to suffer, will she secretly cry. So many things in the royal residence, she is too tired …… to manage alone.
I don’t know how long I lay and watched until the Wangfei rolled over, revealing her slender neck, and his eyes were immediately attracted by a line of light pink there.
He went forward to check carefully, the princess skin color than his white quite a lot, this color look extra striking, that is just scabbed off the scar ……
Xiangmian slept until noon before getting up, taking advantage of Yu Wang’s absence, letting Lin Lang help her puff powder onto the scar. After a bit of covering up, she first went to the Buddha Hall to offer incense to her mother before going to the Liuyun Hall to have her meal.
Xiao Nan Xiao Bei and Lin Lang Fei Yun are all guarding outside, thinking that they were sent out by King Yu.
Xiangmian sighed: he was still suspicious.
