When Xiaoying came over, she was carrying several packs of sour plums. Ling Qiyang hurriedly invited people in to serve tea.
Xiaoying said shyly: "I don't know what to give as a gift. I heard that pregnant people like to eat sour, so I bought some. This is the best candied sour plum I have ever eaten. I won't lie to you." .”
Ling Qiyang took it over with a smile, and said: "I just wanted to eat this, and I just asked Mingli to buy it, but I haven't come back yet." Ling Qiyang opened the paper bag, and although the black plums inside had lost their original plumpness due to pickling, But the meat is soggy. Ling Qiyang impatiently took one and put it in his mouth, then nodded, "It's delicious. Thank you."
"As long as you like it." Xiaoying smiled. Before the tea was served, Jun Liche first handed his own to Xiaoying, thinking that he was thirsty after a trip in this hot weather.
Xiaoying seemed to be used to it, and drank it clean after holding the cup.
Ling Qiyang handed the paper bag to Mo Qingge, "Try it too."
Mo Qingge shook his head, "Just smelling it makes me feel like I'm going to have acid regurgitation, you can keep it and eat."
Some people don't like to eat sour, Ling Qiyang can understand. But he gave way to everyone in the circle, and no one wanted to eat. He didn't even take the Xiaoying that was guaranteed to be delicious, saying that Jun Liche refused to let him eat because he ate too much a while ago and his stomach refluxed.
Since no one is eating, Ling Qiyang is no longer polite, and eats on his own.
Seeing that he likes to eat, Jun Lixuan didn't stop him. He told Jun Liyuan and Jun Liche what he saw when his second brother was holding the land. Knowing that Jun Chengjing is doing well, the two are relieved. This is the end of the matter, and I will not mention it to others.
After finishing what they wanted to say, Jun Liyuan and Jun Liche still had things to do, so they left first. Before leaving, Ling Qiyang pulled Mo Qingge aside, and asked in a low voice, "How are you and third brother? How is third brother treating you?" He had been talking about business just now, and he also had time to care about Mo Qingge.
Mo Qingge nodded, "I'm fine, don't worry. I've got Xiaoying to accompany me to pass the time, and the days are fulfilling."
"That's good." Ling Qiyang was relieved, and said again: "Are you still going to tell third brother that you are Qingzi's business?"
Mo Qingge was silent for a moment, then said, "No rush."
Ling Qiyang just cared about him, and didn't want to force him, so he said: "Well, you just need to know." Then he took out the remaining pair of concentric knots, and said: "We bought these when we were in Youguo, and there are another pair I gave it to Xiaoying and Sixth Brother. I will keep it for you, and when it is confirmed, I will give it to Third Brother."
Mo Qingge looked at the sympathy knot in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then took it, "Thank you." No matter what his final decision was, he could not disappoint Ling Qiyang's kindness.
"You're welcome, I just hope they all belong." Ling Qiyang laughed.
Mo Qingge responded lightly, and said, "Then I'll go back first."
"Okay." Ling Qiyang nodded.
Watching the four of them leave, Jun Lixuan hugged Ling Qiyang and said with a smile, "What did you say to Mo Qingge just now?"
"Secret." Ling Qiyang smiled while hooking his fingers.
"Little thing, there are secrets starting." Jun Lixuan pinched the tip of his nose.
"You didn't say you couldn't have it." Ling Qiyang looked at him with a smile.
"That's right." Jun Lixuan didn't hear it deeply, and went back to the study with Ling Qiyang in his arms.
After drinking the anti-fetal medicine that Gu Yao gave him for a few days, Ling Qiyang's symptoms of embarrassment have basically disappeared, but the taste is getting more and more strange, sometimes he wants to eat sour food half an hour ago, and then starts to want spicy food half an hour later. In order to make Ling Qiyang eat comfortably, Jun Lixuan hired two more cooks to meet Ling Qiyang's requirements all day long. And most of the things Ling Qiyang didn't want to eat after taking a few bites went into Jun Lixuan's stomach.
Daddy Ling's health has also improved a lot, and he can already get out of bed and walk. Because of the high-quality medicine used, the wounds on the face are basically invisible, but there are still some bruises on the body, and the internal injuries still need to be recuperated. But on the whole, there is no problem, which also makes Ling Qiyang feel at ease.
The yard prepared for Ling's father has been tidied up, and according to Ling Qiyang's request, some vegetation has been added to make the yard look more lively.
Taking advantage of the lack of morning court today, Jun Lixuan brought a dozen of guards to Uncle Wangyang's mansion, planning to move Father Ling's things to the palace, and there will be no more ties with him from now on.
Originally, Jun Lixuan meant to replace them with new ones, but Papa Ling didn’t want to throw away some of his own things. Jun Lixuan thought that those things might be very important to Papa Ling, anyway, it wouldn’t take much time to go there, and let Papa Ling Peace of mind is the most important thing.
When Uncle Wangyang heard that Lord Lin was coming, although his expression was not good, he still greeted him respectfully at the door.
"My king came today to take away what belonged to my father." Jun Lixuan said.
"Yes." Uncle Wangyang responded, and asked the housekeeper to take Jun Lixuan to Father Ling's small courtyard.
The small courtyard was still deserted just like when they left, Father Ling's things were also in their original places, at best no one entered without authorization, at worst no one cared.
"Go and collect it, be careful, don't damage it." Jun Lixuan said to Ming Li beside him. Daddy Ling gave him a list, on which he wrote down the things that need to be taken and where they should be placed, so that they can pack them conveniently. As for the others, Father Ling didn't want them either.
"Yes." Mingli replied, took the list and brought a few servants in to clean up.
Jun Lixuan stood in the yard, and Uncle Wangyang stood two steps behind him, keeping his head down.
At this time, the eldest lady came in with a very ugly face, and after bowing to Jun Lixuan, she said: "Most of his things are rewarded by uncle."
Jun Lixuan didn't even look at her, but said in a cold voice: "Daddy only takes his own things, and everything from the uncle's mansion will be kept. There is no place to put it in the mansion."
The eldest lady clenched the veil tightly in her hand, and said, "Jie Yu is about to get married. If there hadn't been this incident, Princess Lin would have come to have a wedding. After all, this marriage is a red line drawn by the imperial concubine. When the time comes, the fifth prince will be married." He and the fourth prince will definitely come, and this is also the honor of my uncle's family."
The meaning of what the eldest lady said was that even without Ling Qiyang, there were still the fourth prince and the fifth prince, both of whom were more noble than Princess Lin in terms of status, and he was not inferior to him.
"This is the end of the matter, so it's useless to talk too much. Daddy is now the emperor, and his status is higher than yours. In the future, the eldest lady must abide by the etiquette, so as not to get a reputation of being disrespectful." Jun Lixuan looked at the young man who was tidying up in a hurry. It seems that he suddenly realized the depression and irritability that his father felt when he lived here for many years - Uncle Wangyang's mansion is really not a place for people to stay.
Speaking of Daddy Ling's appointment as Gaoming Qingjun, Da Furen trembled with anger, but she didn't have a good son, and she couldn't make any contribution. Thinking of this, the eldest lady couldn't help but think of the little daughter she raised in her natal family, and she became even more angry.
The young man packed the things into a box neatly and carried them to the carriage.
"My lord, Yue Qingjun's things have been packed." Ming Li said. In fact, Yue Qingjun really doesn't have many things, except for a few important boxes, the rest are clothes and things used by the princess when she was a child.
Jun Lixuan nodded slightly, and ordered: "Go back."
"Yes." Mingli replied.
Jun Lixuan took a look at Uncle Wangyang, said nothing, turned and walked out.
Uncle Wangyang was unwilling to let his concubine's house be moved out by Lord Lin, but he had no choice but to send him out respectfully. Thinking about it, if he didn't make such a fuss after drinking, maybe he could still get a seal in the light of a bastard. This is good, the whole person and money are lost. Although the eldest son Ling Hongzhi also had military exploits, he was only a lieutenant general after all. If the emperor wanted to reward him, he would only reward Ling Hongzhi, and it would never be his turn to do anything.
Thinking of this, Uncle Wangyang gave the eldest lady a hard look in private, if this woman hadn't been unable to give birth to a son, he would not be inferior to other princes. In addition, the fact that he beat Qingzi spread in the court, which made him lose all face. Every time he heard others talk about him behind his back, Uncle Wangyang couldn't help but feel that his eldest wife was simply a loser. If she wasn't domineering, maybe he had cultivated a relationship with Tangxi Yannuo for so many years. If he had feelings, Tangxi Yannuo wouldn't reject him then, and he wouldn't beat him because of years of resentment, and he wouldn't have such a thing as reconciliation.
The more Uncle Wangyang thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and the more he looked at his eldest wife, the more he felt disliked. He snorted coldly and went to Aunt Zhou's yard.
The eldest lady stared fiercely at Uncle Wangyang's back, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, so she said to her personal maid: "Go to my mother's house, tell mother that Yu'er is married, and let that little brat stay at home , don’t run out and be ashamed.”
The maid nodded in agreement, and the "little showy hoof" in the doctor's mouth was the second young lady in Uncle Wangyang's mansion who was not liked by the lady. And the eldest lady's attitude towards the second lady has always been like this, and they are no strangers to it.
Days with anticipation always pass quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Ling Qiyang is already three months pregnant. The originally flat stomach also felt a little fleshy, and the waist was a little bit thicker.
The queen, who had been concerned about Ling Qiyang's fetal appearance, sent a lot of materials to make Ling Qiyang's clothes bigger and more comfortable. Daddy lives in the house, and Ling Qiyang has one more place to go every day, but Daddy Ling is so quiet, sometimes Ling Qiyang comes in the morning and afternoon, so he doesn't even have time for the trouble, so occasionally he will let people watch outside, Ling Qiyang As soon as he reached the door, he was blocked back.
Although the concubine is the largest in this mansion now, the concubine's father is inside, and the concubine has to listen to him, so the servants who stand in the way of the concubine dare not neglect, and persuade Ling Qiyang to go back with nice words.
After Papa Ling recovered from his injury, Gu Yao went back to his house, and occasionally went to the palace to see Ling Qiyang and Papa Ling when he had time, and didn't talk much. Basically, I went back after dinner and didn't stay much. In order to take care of Ling Qiyang when necessary, Gu Yao turned down many outpatient consultations for difficult and miscellaneous diseases, and spread the word that he had to come to Beijing or hire someone else.
This day, Ling Qiyang was blocked by Ling's father again, it's summer, and it would be a pain to stay outside for a moment, so Ling Qiyang simply went to Jun Lixuan's study, planning to find a book to pass the time.
"Since master bought a box of books for dad, dad doesn't pay much attention to me." Ling Qiyang sat on the couch, eating watermelon, with a book that had just turned two pages in his hand.
"Daddy also needs to have his own time." Jun Lixuan raised his head from the official document and said with a smile.
"When I was in Uncle Wangyang's mansion, I was with daddy every day, and he didn't bother me." Since leaving Uncle Wangyang's mansion, daddy's temperament has improved a lot, but what happened if he started ignoring him
"In the past, Dad didn't have freedom, and he couldn't do what he wanted to do, so he had to spend time with you. Now Dad can do whatever he wants, so naturally he has to make up for his previous shortcomings." I don't know if it's because of pregnancy, Ling Qiyang sometimes He will also show some childish complaints, and every time he hears him, Jun Lixuan feels that Ling Qiyang's petty temper makes him unable to put it down.
"That's right." Ling Qiyang touched his swollen stomach, and said, "I saw Daddy painting yesterday."
"Daddy is very interested, so don't bother him, just stay with me obediently."
"Um."
The two chatted without saying a word, and Mingli reported from outside the door: "My lord, Lord Chong sent someone to deliver a letter."
"Come in." Jun Lixuan said.
Ming Li walked in, handed a note to Jun Lixuan, and said: "The man said that Lord Chong told you that he will take care of the empress in the palace for the next few days. If you have nothing to do, don't go to the harem." gone."
Jun Lixuan nodded, and said: "Go prepare some supplements and send them to the empress, and say that I will take good care of Qiyang, so that the empress can recover from her illness with peace of mind."
"Yes." Ming Li backed out in response.
When Mingli left, Ling Qiyang asked, "What's wrong?"
Jun Lixuan opened the note, looked at it, and said: "The sixth brother said that the imperial concubine's fetus has been unstable in recent days, let us avoid it. The emperor's mother said she was seriously ill, and the sixth brother went to serve the sick, pretending not to worry about it." Suspicious."
The queen has been pretending to be sick, and the imperial concubine is not stable now. If the child cannot be kept, this method can also be used to separate the relationship, and everyone in the palace can testify to them.
"What do you think?" Jun Lixuan asked.
Ling Qiyang smiled and said: "To be honest, the age of the imperial concubine is not suitable for childbearing. If the child cannot be kept, it is either due to the reason of the imperial concubine's own body, or someone has done it."
Jun Lixuan nodded and chuckled, "No matter what kind, it's harmless to us."
"Well. If the child disappears inexplicably, the emperor will definitely pursue it, and the previous arrogance of the imperial concubine's mother's family will also be impeached publicly because the child is gone and the officials have no scruples. We will just wait. Just go to the theater." Ling Qiyang said with a smile.
"Smart. Let's add another fire when the time comes." Jun Lixuan walked to the side of the couch, and lightly touched Ling Qiyang's stomach.
Ling Qiyang squinted his eyes and lay down, a little sleepy.
"Go to sleep. Only when you're full can you watch a good show." Jun Lixuan pulled one side of the thin quilt to cover Ling Qiyang's stomach.
Ling Qiyang responded lightly, closed his eyes, and fell asleep after a while. Jun Lixuan gently kissed his forehead.
