In fact, Marquis Pingliang was really in a hurry. Although he was transferred back to the capital with the help of Zhou Shoufu, his errand had not yet been settled.
Originally thought that he and Zhou Shoufu became in-laws, so there was no need to rush this errand, just wait for the good news from the Shoufu Mansion.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the marriage between the first two families was concluded, a major incident occurred in Beijing, and Zhou Shoufu was implicated in the end.
Sick at home? At this juncture, he is also an important minister of the imperial court. This complaint of illness is tantamount to breaking away from the imperial government. I'm afraid that from now on, I can only "success" like this.
After all, if one chief assistant is squeezed out, a position in the cabinet will be vacated, and there are not a few people waiting to join the cabinet.
The so-called rush to the doctor in a hurry, he has no way of knowing whether Zhou Shoufu is really sick or a fake sickness. He can only think about letting his wife take the path of the eldest princess, and maybe he will get a glimpse of His Majesty's thoughts from it.
After all, because of King Cheng's matter, many officials have already been implicated, and how many eyes are fixed on those vacancies. If the current situation of the court is not clear, I am afraid that they have already tried their best to fill the fat vacancies.
"I heard that Fang Birong was deserted on the day when she returned home. As I said, she was rejected by her mother-in-law before entering the door. How can there be a good life, and the house is leaking and it is raining. , Zhou Shoufu is now complaining of illness, and the people in the entire family don't care about her." Yang continued in a low voice proud of herself.
Shen Xinyan looked at Fang's calmly, and saw that although she was smiling, she couldn't hide her fatigue. And Mrs. Pinglianghou, she looked much more haggard than Fang Birong on the day she got married, and it seems that she hasn't had a good time recently.
With the Eldest Princess present, these juniors only need to sit by and occasionally say a few funny words.
"Why don't you see Brother Lin? I haven't seen him for many years. When I left Beijing, he was still such a small lump. He must have grown into a small adult now!" While talking, Ping Lianghou Madame mentioned it casually.
"He's still in the palace right now! I'm afraid he didn't come back so early." The Eldest Princess replied with a smile.
"Is it in the palace? I said back then that this child is promising, as expected." Mrs. Ping Lianghou smiled happily.
"Children's families are not promising or not, but they are just a few years older than his brothers and a bit more sensible." The eldest princess said modestly, but the smile on her face was quite pleasant. .
Mrs. Pingliang Hou watched her words and expressions, and couldn't help but glanced worriedly at her daughter beside her.
After so many years of friendship with the eldest princess, she naturally has some understanding of her temperament. One look at the expression on her face when she mentioned Brother Na Lin's child, it is enough to see that the child is very fond of her. .
It's no wonder that Erfang can hold the position of son so securely, with such a vigorous son, even if I'm a bit of a dude, it's nothing.
Putting aside the worries in her heart, she collected herself and said with a smile: "I don't agree with my sister's words. I don't know how many children who are older than Brother Lin are not half as sensible as him!"
Not wanting to praise the child against her will, she changed the subject and said with a little worry: "It's just that the rumors inside and outside the palace...how many pairs of eyes are staring at the palace, Brother Lin is a child inside, and there are no adults Take care, will you..."
"Your Highness, Mrs. Shizi, it's not good, something happened to the Eldest Young Master!" Before the words finished, a maid rushed in to report.
"What happened to the eldest son?!" Princess Dachang and Shen Xinyan asked at the same time.
"The eldest son was injured and was sent back by the father-in-law in the palace. Now Shizi has carried him back to the Funing courtyard."
"Go!" Upon hearing that the eldest grandson was injured, the eldest princess couldn't sit still, even Ping Lianghou's wife forgot, and hurried out.
Shen Xinyan followed closely behind her, her heart raised in her throat.
Naturally, Mrs. Yang would not miss the opportunity to watch the excitement, so she immediately followed.
On the contrary, Mrs. Pinglianghou's mother and daughter were a little hesitant, looked at each other, thought for a while, and followed behind everyone.
"What's going on here? How could he be injured? What did the imperial doctor say? Is there a serious problem?" Looking at Wei Chenglin, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, half of his arm was tightly wrapped in a white cloth, The eldest princess felt distressed and angry at the same time, she lowered her voice and asked her son beside her.
Wei Junhang hurriedly said: "Mother, don't panic, the imperial physician has already carefully diagnosed him, but he suffered some injuries on his arm, which needs to be taken care of for a while, His Majesty also bestowed many precious medicinal materials, and sent the imperial physician to diagnose and treat him. "
"As for how you got hurt...there are so many children in the palace, it's inevitable to bump into them without paying attention for a while." When he said the latter, he was a little vague.
The eldest princess is not a fool, she glanced at Mrs. Pinglianghou's mother and daughter and Mrs. Yang, and knew that he didn't want to tell everyone that there must be some reason for this, so she didn't ask any more, turned around and caressed the sleeping man eldest grandson.
"Sister, don't worry. Since His Majesty has sent an imperial physician to diagnose and treat her, she will be cured soon." Mrs. Ping Lianghou persuaded.
Yue Mo also knew that it was not suitable for her to stay any longer, so she persuaded her a few more words before leaving.
The Eldest Princess was worried about her grandson's injury and didn't want to greet her anymore, so she ordered Fang to see her off.
After all, Mrs. Yang was also knowledgeable, and after a few words of comfort, she also left.
Shen Xinyan bit her lower lip tightly, her face turned pale, she stared closely at her weak son on the bed, for a moment, trembling her hands lightly touched the slightly cool little face, and didn't pay attention to what Wei Junhang and the Eldest Princess said.
"Let's talk about how Brother Lin got hurt. Don't talk about children not paying attention to bumping into each other. You and I know what kind of temperament Brother Lin is. He is definitely not a child who is messing around. .” The eldest princess asked with a straight face.
"It's His Highness the Third Highness. I don't know why he targets His Highness everywhere. His Highness is old and has a calm temper, so naturally he won't argue with him. It's just His Highness's temperament... Brother Lin also suffered for protecting His Highness. "Wei Junhang didn't hide it from her.
The eldest princess sneered: "The third highness is only a seven-year-old child. Even if he is naughty on weekdays, he will not be so ignorant. Presumably he is used as a gun for others. I usually keep silent, and everyone treats me as my lord." Can you die? How dare you bully me!!"
I was so angry that even the self-proclaimed words I hadn't used for many years popped up.
Originally, she didn't want to get into this troubled water, but now that she is being bullied like this, if she keeps silent, what will the eldest princess's face be? !
"Come on, prepare the sedan chair, I'm going to enter the palace!"
Wei Junhang sighed secretly, but he also knew his mother's temper, so he didn't dare to persuade her. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Eldest Princess went back to change her clothes, he hurriedly stepped forward and put his arm around Shen Xinyan's shoulders to comfort him: "Don't worry, the imperial doctor said it's fine. It's just a broken bone, so I have to rest for a while."
"Yeah." Shen Xinyan lowered her head, and he couldn't see her expression clearly, but he also knew that she had always loved her son, and seeing her son come back injured, she must feel very uncomfortable. He wanted to accompany their mother and son again, but he was worried about the eldest princess, so he had no choice but to say, "Wait for me to come back."
After speaking, he kissed her on the forehead, looked at his son again, then turned around and strode away, intending to escort the eldest princess into the palace to seek justice.
Shen Xinyan stared blankly at her son on the bed, and then her eyes slowly fell on the injured arm. What she saw was a dazzling white, which made her eyes sore.
"...Mother, don't worry, I'm fine, I don't hurt at all, really!" The young boy's eager voice suddenly sounded in her ear, she blinked her hazy eyes, but found that she didn't know when she shed tears .
She quickly wiped it away, held down her son who was struggling to get up, and blamed: "You are injured, don't move around!"
"Okay..." Wei Chenglin obediently responded, and lay back down again.
"Mother, I really don't feel any pain. The imperial physician has already applied the medicine for me. I used the holy medicine for healing in the palace. I will be fine in a short time." Afraid that she would worry any more, he hurriedly said again.
"En." Shen Xinyan responded in a low voice, seeing that his lips were a bit dry, she got up and poured a bowl of warm water, then came over and carefully supported him to sit on the head of the bed, then sat on the edge of the bed and fed him water herself.
"Mother, I'll do it myself." Wei Chenglin felt a little uncomfortable, wanted to grab the bowl and drink it himself, but when he met her stern face, he shrank back, his voice became smaller and smaller, and he didn't dare to say anything else.
Shen Xinyan fed him water, and wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth for him, and unexpectedly found that his ears were red, and when he looked closely at his face, he saw that the little face that was still a little pale, now appeared a little strange. Free red.
She couldn't help but laugh.
Wei Chenglin noticed her smile, his face flushed a little more, and he was speechless.
Shen Xinyan couldn't help chuckling any longer, and her depressed mood immediately improved a bit.
"Mother feeds you water, so you are ashamed? When you were young, your mother bathed and put on clothes for you!"
Wei Chenglin became even more uncomfortable, shrank his neck, and finally called out with some reluctance after a long time: "Mother..."
His tone was full of coquettishness that he didn't even notice.
The smile on Shen Xinyan's face froze slightly, she fixedly looked at the blushing, slightly pouted young boy in front of her, feeling a little strange.
The two lifetimes were too long, so long that she could no longer remember the time when her son acted like a baby to her. Was it when you were still babbling, or when you were a toddler? Or when he sneaked back to find himself after being carried away by the British public
Wei Chenglin didn't know what she was thinking, but it was rare for his mother to treat him so tenderly and meticulously. Although he was indeed a little uncomfortable, after all, he was no longer a child, but the joy in his heart couldn't be stopped.
He thought, anyway, he is also his mother's son, and it shouldn't matter if he is a child once in a while and is loved by his mother, right
Thinking in this way, he secretly moved towards Shen Xinyan, wanting to get closer to her, who made the one who usually sits next to his mother be either Yunfu or his younger sister!
