After returning to the mansion, it was already evening.
Jiang Li didn't go back to the courtyard directly, but went to Wanfengtang. This time when she went to Guogong's mansion, Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yuanbo were very confused and waited for her in Wanfengtang. Seeing her come back safe and sound, her expression was fine and calm, and she was relieved.
"Girl Li, who did you meet at the Guogong Mansion today? What did you do in the Guogong Mansion? Did General Ji say why you were invited to a banquet alone?" Mrs. Jiang asked. road.
"Today, I was not the only one at the birthday banquet of the old general of the Guogong Mansion, there were five or six people, but they were all face-to-face, and they were not from Yanjing officials. There were males and females, and they were probably the old general's deceased. "Jiang Lihuhu didn't change his face and continued: "After the meal, the old general asked me about my riding and shooting. I learned about my performance in riding and shooting in the Six Arts School test. I was proficient in this, and curious about me, so I specially invited me to participate. After chatting with a few ladies in the afternoon, I came back in the evening. It seemed to be just an ordinary family dinner, nothing special. As for why I was invited alone, This question is really inconvenient to ask, and the old general did not say."
She couldn't find anything wrong with her answer. Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yuanbai looked at each other, and there was nothing to ask each other. There was a question. Looking at Jiang Li's appearance, he just went to eat a meal and didn't know anything, and he shouldn't be able to answer it.
Jiang Yuanbai said, "In that case, you can go back and rest."
Jiang Li hesitated, and then said: "Father, today I was at the birthday banquet in the Guogong Mansion. I heard that they were talking about the current situation. Recently, Yanjing City may not be peaceful. Father... and be prepared."
Jiang Yuanbai cheered: "What do you mean by this?"
"Specifically, I really don't know. They don't say too much at the banquet. That's it. I have worked very hard to find out." Jiang Li said. After saying this, she saluted Jiang Yuanbo and Mrs. Jiang and went back to her yard.
After Jiang Li left, Mrs. Jiang asked: "Yuanbai, what did Er girl mean by that earlier?"
Jiang Yuanbo's expression was deep: "I'm afraid Cheng Wang will have to move."
"The Jiang family... Do you want to stay away from Beijing temporarily?" Mrs. Jiang asked.
Jiang Yuanbai smiled bitterly: "Mother, at this juncture, I can't go even if I want to. I can only bite the bullet in my position. I only hope that the emperor is not completely unprepared. There is still a chance for this battle..."
Mrs. Jiang sighed deeply again. The current situation is like this. Even though they are the family members of the first assistant university scholars, they seem to be infinitely beautiful, but in fact they are just ants of power. Winners and losers have to bleed since ancient times, so what can they do? It's just that this action, the king's act, the emperor's counterattack, I don't know how blood will flow in Yanjing City, and how many families will have their wives scattered.
On the other end, Jiang Li returned to the yard.
Tonger and Baixue are busy cleaning up, but she is sitting in the room, her brows are full of thoughts. After thinking about it, I said this to Jiang Yuanbo. Although Jiang Li thinks that the battle for becoming a king is likely to be lost, the Jiang family is on the cusp, who knows if something will happen. Now that she is in Jiang's family, she and Jiang's family have to complement each other. Something is really going to happen to Jiang's family, which is not good for her.
What's more, although the Jiang family once wronged Miss Jiang Er, and had a poisonous woman like Ji Shuran, she now depends on the Jiang family for her porridge, food, daily life. If Miss Jiang Er was there, she didn't want her family to be destroyed. If Jiang Yuanbo can be prepared in advance, maybe the next thing will be less troublesome.
Regarding Jiang Youyao's affairs, Jiang Li is also ready to accept Ji Heng's suggestion and will not tell Jiang Yuanbai for the time being. Just look at what's happening on Li Lian's side. Jiang Youyao should take some pains. If she finds a way to take her back to her home now, she will not thank the Jiang family, or even think that the Jiang family deliberately separated her. And Li Lian. Such a white-eyed wolf will bite the Jiang family back when it is uncertain. It is better to throw her to Li Lian now, and Jiang family can also be quiet.
Even if Li Lian wanted to learn some secret news about the Jiang family from Jiang Youyao, it was absolutely impossible. You must know that Jiang Youyao doesn't care about everything except herself, so what Li Lian wants to inquire about is doomed to return without success.
Jiang Li is now the most nervous and concerned about Princess Yongning.
According to Ji Heng, Princess Yongning now has a pregnant image, but she has not discovered it herself. Once Princess Yongning found out that she was pregnant, the next thing she wanted to do was to discuss with Shen Yurong, which was not a good thing for Shen Yurong. As for how things will develop next, Jiang Li is looking forward to it.
She couldn't wait to look at the ugly faces of these two people.
…
In the princess mansion, a light incense was burning in the room. The incense stick is thin, and the green smoke rising up is also thin, and the aroma is like jasmine, which is very pleasant.
Princess Yongning has always liked the strong and warm fragrance, and the lighter incense is almost invisible in the princess's mansion. But in the past few days, Princess Yongning has always been tired easily and can't get enough energy, especially when she has no appetite for anything, she always feels tight in her chest and feels vomiting easily. The strong scent made her uncomfortable, and the incense in the princess's mansion had all been replaced with this light.
But even the faint incense, Princess Yongning didn't think it was very good. She was leaning on the collapse, with a daunted expression, and her delicate makeup that had always been delicate and careless, appeared a little haggard. The skin is not as fair as usual, some sallow.
"Princess, Doctor Zhang will be here soon." Mei Xiang gently pressed her shoulders for Princess Yongning, and smiled: "When the Doctor Zhang comes, I will prescribe two prescriptions for you. It won't be so uncomfortable."
Princess Yongning let out a weak "um". She didn't know when she had such an uncomfortable sight. Thinking about it carefully, it was probably after Shen Ruyun's wedding banquet. But she didn't do anything that day, as usual, she got a chance to mess with Shen Yurong, nothing else. Why did he feel very uncomfortable after returning to the Princess' Mansion? It has been several days, and it hasn't improved at all. There was really no way, so Mei Xiang took the token and asked Doctor Zhang to show her.
Thinking of this, she complained a little bit about Shen Yurong in her heart. It was clear that she had let people around her tell Shen Yurong a long time ago, and she was not in good shape these days, but Shen Yurong did not come to see her. Although he knows that North Korea is busy with affairs, she doesn't have her in his heart if she doesn't put herself in his eyes.
These complaints accumulated in my heart, which made Princess Yongning more uncomfortable. My head hurts, my hands hurt, my legs hurt, and my toes hurt.
In the evening the sky darkened extremely quickly, and soon it became dark all over. There was a strong wind in the city of Yanjing at night, and the maids were afraid that Princess Yongning might feel bored, so they opened the windows of the princess mansion. As soon as it was opened, the gust of wind rushed in eagerly, blowing out half of the candle in the hall, and the paper and pen on the table were blown everywhere, causing the vase to stagger.
Princess Yongning looked even more upset, and when she was about to punish someone, Mei Xiang ran in, followed by an old man in a pine green cotton gown, and said: "His Royal Highness, Doctor Zhang is here."
Taiyi Zhang is a doctor who knows Princess Yongning in the Taiyuan Hospital. Princess Yongning has a headache on weekdays, and she likes to let Taiyi Zhang come to the house to see for herself. At this moment, I saw that the doctor Zhang finally came, barely cheered up, sat up straight, and proactively stretched out his hand: "Doctor Zhang, my palace body has always been very uncomfortable these days, and I can’t say anything about it. I don’t feel much energy, I’m very tired, I have a bad appetite, and I always feel nauseous. Sometimes I fall asleep in the afternoon and only wake up in the middle of the night. You can show me, what is the problem?"
When he heard this, the doctor Zhang was taken aback, and a look of suspicion suddenly appeared on his face. Princess Yongning saw that he was just standing on the spot and didn't give her pulse. She suddenly became a little impatient and said: "Doctor Zhang, What are you still waiting for? Get the pulse of this palace!"
The doctor Zhang recovered his senses, and smiled reluctantly, and said, "His Royal Highness, don't panic, I'll give your Highness the pulse."
He stretched out his hand to put on Princess Yongning's wrist, and got his pulse carefully.
Time actually didn't take long, but at a certain moment, Tai Yi Zhang's face suddenly turned white. Not only that, his forehead gradually began to seep cold sweat, and even his hands were a little bit awkward.
Seeing that it took too long to get the pulse this time, Princess Yongning couldn't help frowning and scolded: "Doctor Zhang, what is it? Why are you not moving?"
Doctor Zhang retracted his hand suddenly and stood up. He didn't even dare to look at Princess Yongning. He lowered his head and hesitated, and his voice started to tremble, "His Royal Highness, old man, can I make a mistake? Your Highness might as well ask Gao Ming to see what is the cause of your highness?"
The more he said this, the more doubtful it made Princess Yongning's heart. Princess Yongning said: "In the hospital, my palace only trusts you. Doctor Zhang, what is the matter with my palace? The palace punishes you for the crime of deceiving!"
Grand Doctor Zhang was taken aback, and quickly knelt down. The voice of an elderly person turned out to be unstoppable, as if he was about to cry in the next moment. He said: "Your Majesty, please spare your life, Your Majesty Forgive me! Your Highness... I'm afraid I'm pregnant!"
I'm pregnant! Like a thunderstorm, she suddenly struck her head. Princess Yongning was taken aback and almost never recovered.
"You are so courageous, how dare you speak falsely in front of the hall! Drag it down!" Mei Xiang responded extremely quickly and immediately ordered.
"The old man dare not speak falsely, your highness is forgiving!" Zhang Taiyi kept kowtow, his voice stern.
Princess Yongning frowned, as if she finally understood the meaning of this sentence. She looked at Doctor Zhang and suddenly asked: "What are you saying is true?"
The doctor Zhang quickly exclaimed: "The officials dare not say anything."
"Look at this day, how long has it been now?" Princess Yongning asked.
The doctor Zhang was sweating coldly, but he dared not answer Princess Yongning's words, and said, "It should be less than one month."
"It's less than a month..." Princess Yongning murmured, and the time is right, she and Shen Yurong have only met a few times during this period. It's just that she didn't understand that every time she used the antidote medicine, Shen Yurong was very careful in this regard. Of course, Princess Yongning was unwilling to get pregnant before she was married. Even if the customs of Beiyan were to be reopened, this kind of thing would be a shameful scandal in ordinary people's homes.
Unexpectedly, this was the case, she was still pregnant with Shen Yurong's child.
Princess Yongning's hand touched her belly involuntarily.
Seeing this, Mei Xiang said anxiously: "His Royal Highness, do you plan to..." She didn't say anything, Princess Yongning turned to look at her and asked, "What are you going to prepare?"
Mei Shanner said: "Are you planning to keep this child?"
When Princess Yongning heard this, she slapped Mei Xiang's head and slapped her head. She sternly said: "The child in the stomach of this palace can also accommodate a lowly maid's beak?"
The doctor Zhang, who was kneeling on the ground, was trembling with fear before he got up. Mei Xiang also knelt on the ground, her face clearly reflected five fingerprints, but she didn't notice it, she still said: "The flesh and blood in your highness' abdomen grows day by day, after all, I can't help it. , If it is seen by the emperor, if it is seen by outsiders, I am afraid that the explanation is unclear. His Royal Highness pity that person, if it happens, the emperor and others will not let go, if it is found that it is the flesh and blood of that person, that person’s career will be ruined. Now, Your Highness will definitely feel distressed."
Because the doctor Zhang was here, Mei Xiang didn't dare to name Shen Yurong, but replaced it with "that person". These words were about Princess Yongning's heart. The child grows up day by day, and he can't hide his belly. If the emperor discovers this, he must be investigated, and finally found to be Shen Yurong's flesh and blood, and Shen Yurong's career ends here. Although for Princess Yongning, Shen Yurong is an official or not, she doesn't care. But Shen Yurong himself would not be happy, Shen Yurong was not happy, and Princess Yongning would not be happy either.
She suddenly felt a headache.
"But this is my child and him..." Princess Yongning said as she said, there was a look similar to kindness and tenderness in her eyes. Like a kind mother, looking forward to the emergence of new life.
This is her and Shen Yurong's child, and this alone gives Princess Yongning countless reasons not to abandon her. This may be a son or a daughter. Maybe his eyes look like Shen Yurong, maybe his mouth look like himself. When he grows up in the future, she will call Shen Yurong as a father, and she will call herself a mother. This is evidence of her affectionate relationship with Shen Yurong, and she will not abandon this child anyway.
"I want to keep him." This sentence, Princess Yongning said firmly. Mei Xiang and Zhang Taiyi, who were kneeling on the ground, were shocked at the same time, and they did not speak.
"As for what I should do next, I am not in a hurry. It is still less than a month, and no one else can see it. The top priority is to raise my child well. Now people are unpredictable. There are countless people who want to harm my child. I have to protect him. "Princess Yongning said.
Mei Xiang said: "The servant girl will protect the little maid."
Princess Yongning nodded in satisfaction, her gaze flicked over the kneeling doctor Zhang, a coolness flashed in her eyes, she said: "The doctor Zhang has worked hard today, Mei Xiang, you take the doctor Zhang down and ask him to have a cup of tea before leaving. ."
Mei Xiang knew, Doctor Zhang also asked for mercy, only to hear Princess Yongning smile: "Doctor Zhang does not need to be impatient, leave after eating tea, your wife and son will not care about the time for a cup of tea."
Hearing this, Zhang Taiyi shook his body suddenly, his eyes dimmed suddenly, he didn't say anything anymore, and followed Mei Xiang out in despair.
Calm was restored in the hall.
The smile on Princess Yongning's face disappeared. Although she really hoped to keep the child, Mei Xiang's words also reached her ears. It was indeed not a way to go on like this. Should I tell Shen Yurong about this? I'm afraid that I can't. If Shen Yurong knew about this, she would definitely persuade her not to have this child. During this period, he has said more than once that it is on the cusp of the storm. Don't be caught by others, but keep your distance. If you have a child, don't you send the handle to someone else
He always has a way for himself, no matter how determined he is, he will eventually be touched by his gentleness, and he will be satisfied. But this time, Princess Yongning didn't plan to listen to Shen Yurong's meaning, she must keep the child behind.
What should I think of a way to expose this matter justifiably, and let the children stay? This child can't live without a father, he must call Shen Yurong a father.
Princess Yongning's heart suddenly moved. Yes, this child must have a father, and this father can only be Shen Yurong. As long as you marry Shen Yurong when others can’t see it, you can find a reason when you say that it’s a premature birth, right
But getting married with Shen Yurong in a very short time is not an easy task. Princess Yongning did not plan to discuss with Shen Yurong, because Shen Yurong would definitely raise questions, and she could not tell Shen Yurong that she was pregnant. She plans to go to the palace to see Princess Liu tomorrow morning and ask Princess Liu to tell the emperor to give her the marriage.
In any case, this matter cannot fail.
…
In the night of Yanjing City, several families are happy and others are worried. Some people are rejoicing in their stomachs and being complicated, while others are worried about their future prospects.
The restoration of the Li Mansion on the right is very exquisite and luxurious. The right minister has been in power for many years, especially in recent years, and his position in Korea has become more and more stable. There are not a few people who come to give gifts on weekdays. In the warehouse. It is said that the treasury in the Youxiang Mansion is even more full than the treasury, but no one knows whether the rumor is still true.
There is a yard to the west, which is much quieter than other yards. There are only three or two sweeping maids, but the yard is pretty clean. In the room, there was a person sitting at the table. She was holding a book in her hand, but she unintentionally opened it and looked out the window in a daze.
This woman is young, and she can be called cute. She is no one else but Jiang Youyao, the third Miss Jiang from the Li family.
It has been a long time since Jiang Youyao came to Li Mansion. She escaped from Jiang’s house that day and wanted to go to Ji’s house, but who knew that New Year’s Eve, she also encountered bandits on the street. Those bandits saw that she was a female class, and not only took away her package. , I want to do something to her. Just as Jiang Youyao felt desperate, a handsome young man appeared from the sky like a soldier. He asked the entourage to drive away the bandits, and also helped Jiang Youyao. Seeing Jiang Youyao trembling with fright and speechless, he took Jiang Youyao back to the house, cleaned it, and let her calm down.
In fact, when Jiang Youyao was rescued, she knew who this son was. It is Li Lian, the second son of Li's family of the right minister. According to common sense, Jiang Youyao should not have any entanglements with the Li family. You must know that the Li family and the Jiang family are rivals. But for some reason, she did not refuse Li Lian's move to take her back home. Perhaps it was because she hated the Jiang family for killing her mother, ignored herself, and wanted to get the Jiang family angry with revenge. Maybe it's because she is really desperate now and doesn't know who to rely on. Or maybe it was because the second son Li looked too gentle, not like the cunning man his father said. It's easy to believe that there is a gentle person in such times of trouble.
She followed Li Lian back to the Li Mansion, and after washing her face, Li Lian also recognized her. Jiang Youyao was heartbroken, and in front of Li Lian, she told her grievances at Jiang's house these days. She had no choice but to leave home. She also hoped that Li Lian would not tell others about her at Li's house. When Jiang's family knew about it, she wanted to take herself back.
Li Lian is a person who loves and cherishes jade, as if moved with compassion towards her. Sure enough, he didn't tell Li Zhongnan about this, he allocated a place in his yard to Jiang Youyao, Jiang Youyao lives here on weekdays. She could not go out, otherwise she would be seen. Jiang Youyao could only walk around the yard, and she had to be careful not to be seen by others in the Li family. After a long time, I naturally feel boring and boring.
And the only person she could see every day was Li Lian except for these subordinates.
The longer you spend with Li Lian, the more Jiang Youyao feels that Li Lian is a good person. He was gentle and considerate, and he knew his heart very well. After several times of coming down, Jiang Youyao couldn't help but touch him. Later... After having a deeper relationship with Li Lian, Jiang Youyao was also scared at first. She fled from the Jiang family, and for a while, she still thought about her identity as the first daughter of the first assistant daughter.
But Li Lian told Jiang Youyao: “If you don’t want to go back, you don’t have to go back. You always say that Jiang’s Mansion takes you harshly, and you shouldn’t stay in our mansion. When I look for an identity for you, you will be able to justify me. Together forever."
Jiang Youyao is very useful.
A promise is a sincere withdrawal. Zhou Yanbang has been refusing to give her a promise. She waited idiotically for many years, and finally married someone else, which really made her very sad. Now that someone can stand up and soothe her pain, Jiang Youyao can't resist it naturally.
She also thought that in the future, for example, Li Lian's wife could only be a lady of a wealthy family. No matter how great he is, he can't be the daughter of a wealthy family if he seeks an identity for himself. She stayed next to Li Lian, nameless and at best a concubine. But how can Jiang Youyao be willing to be a concubine
But even if she is still the third young lady of the Jiang family, it is impossible to become a couple with Li Lian, because the Li family and the Jiang family have a mismatch, not a day or two.
Although the days with Li Lian were happy, but the future could not be seen at a glance, even so, Jiang Youyao was still reluctant to leave him. Because she left Li Lian, she didn't see it better. It's better to grasp the moment, and talk about it when you are happy. As for the future, think about it later.
Feeling sitting for a long time, Jiang Youyao stood up and thought of walking in the yard. The maids are doing their own things. These maids didn’t know whether they had recognized her. In fact, Jiang Youyao was not very satisfied with them. Sometimes she sighed. She brought out the honeysuckle together if she knew she was a child. It's easy to use. And the master of these maids is Li Lian, who is respectful and respectful to Li Lian, but to Jiang Youyao can't be said to be very enthusiastic.
The most important thing is that all the maids in Li Lian’s yard are beautiful, Yingying and Yanyan’s are very annoying. Sometimes Jiang Youyao can’t help but think that Li Lian doesn’t put these maids in the yard. , It is convenient for oneself to adopt. She had also hinted in front of Li Lian, but Mrs. Li Lian would coax people, and in a few words, she coaxed her to forget her original intention and stopped asking questions.
Jiang Youyao walked to the edge of the courtyard and couldn't help but lift his eyes to look at the other courtyard.
Next to it is the yard of Li Xian, the first son of Li. Li Xian didn't go back to the house often, and he heard that he was busy with official duties. Jiang Youyao had heard about Li Zhongnan's two sons, Li Xian was more praised by everyone than Li Lian. He has a smooth career at a young age, and he is also extremely talented, and he is also a handsome man. Compared with Li Lianlai, he seems to be more clean and self-conscious. At such an old age, I have never heard of him having any bad habits.
Jiang Youyao glanced around the courtyard.
The biggest difference between Li Xian's yard and Li Lian's yard is about the people who serve. The maids in Li Lian’s yard were all charming, but Li Xian had never seen any maids in Li Xian’s yard. There are quite a few small servants, but they are a little younger. They all seemed to be twelve or thirteen-year-olds, and even once, Jiang Youyao saw an eighty or nine-year-old child. Jiang Youyao didn't quite understand why these little servants were so young, wouldn't it be inconvenient to wait on them? Anyone who runs a hamstring and carries a heavy object, it seems that these are still children's cuddles, and they may not be able to do very well.
She also asked Li Lian this question. Li Lian always smiled and shook his head, saying that those children were orphans without father and mother. Li Xian saw that they were pitiful, so he sent these children to the house to be servants. On the surface, it seems to be a small servant, but in fact, it can send them a bite of food, and when they grow up, they can also serve the house.
When Jiang Youyao heard the words, she was still muttering in her heart, it seems that Young Master Li has a good heart and is a very good person, who can come up with such a roundabout way to think for them.
She retracted her gaze and walked back again. She couldn't help but sigh, but this Young Master Li was also very good at picking people. The young boys in the yard were all beautiful. If he didn't know what kind of character Li Xian was, he would think that he, like that Su Guo Gong, who has a special habit, liked men's broken sleeves.
