Xie Ruzhuo comforted himself a few words, but couldn't bear the snickering and understanding expressions of the maids.
Seeing their master's glare, Qianbi and the others immediately lowered their heads, winked at each other, bowed and left.
Xie Ruzhuo immediately became angry, "These girls are becoming more and more unruly."
Xiao Junxi, who was aside, took in her expression completely, touched her head, calmed her down, and said softly, "You are not used to them being like this."
Having said that, he was afraid that his little wife would be angry, so he changed the subject and said, "It's rare that it's sunny today. Do you want to go to the Jiang Mansion to see Jiang Qinglan?"
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo immediately lit up his eyes and said, "Can you go today?"
It had snowed a few days ago, and Xiao Junxi had not allowed her to go out. It was rare that it was sunny today. She just had this idea in her mind, but Xiao Junxi kindly let her go first, which made her unhappy.
Xiao Junxi glanced at her with a smile and said, "You can go out, but you must wear thicker clothes. If you get cold again, I won't allow you to go out."
Although Xie Ruzhuo didn't go out two days ago, Mrs. Qiao came with Xie Huailin. Xie Ruzhuo and Xie Huailin had a lot of fun all afternoon, and in the evening they caught wind and chill and had some fever.
Although the fever subsided the next day, Xiao Junxi was worried for a long time.
Xie Ruzhuo blushed and smiled dryly, "I know, I know."
Well, why does she feel that Xiao Junxi is not raising a wife now, but raising a child
Well, this must be her imagination, it must be!
After finishing the meal and letting the maids wrap her up in three layers, Xie Ruzhuo finally went out as she wished and embarked on the road to the Jiang Mansion.
When they arrived at the Jiang Mansion, after the announcement, the maids and women respectfully led Xie Ruzhuo to Jiang Qinglan's yard.
Her current status is different from what it used to be. The daughter-in-law of the Tian family is also a king, so naturally no one dares to neglect her.
Xie Ruzhuo hadn't seen Jiang Qinglan for a long time. Before coming here, she had thought about many different aspects of Jiang Qinglan, but when she actually saw it, she was still shocked.
Within a few months, she had become much plumper than before, probably due to her pregnancy. At this moment, she had lost her previous brightness and arrogance, and her whole body was filled with the glory of motherhood.
Jiang Qinglan was embroidering in the room. When she heard the movement at the door, she subconsciously raised her head, and her eyes suddenly became moist.
"My daughter, I would like to invite Princess Jing—"
Seeing Jiang Qinglan put down the embroidery plate in her hand and wanted to salute, Xie Ruzhuo hurriedly walked over, helped her up and said, "Why are you so polite between us? Get up quickly."
After saying that, Xie Ruzhuo helped her sit back again and said with a smile, "You never touched embroidery needles before, why do you want to do this now?"
Hearing this, an involuntary bitter smile flashed across Jiang Qinglan's eyes, "I have been living abroad these past few months, but I can't compare to the days at home, so..."
Before Jiang Qinglan finished speaking, she quickly stopped and said, "Look at me, what are you talking about?"
What she said made Xie Ruzhuo feel sad. No matter what she was before, Jiang Qinglan was still our noble daughter. How had she ever suffered the slightest grievance? But after eloping with my cousin, I was probably a little depressed both physically and mentally.
After all, a daughter's family eloped with a man. Even if it's for love, it still means betraying the family. At that time, she must have felt unspeakably helpless.
After thinking about it, Xie Ruzhuo held her hand and advised, "Fortunately, everything is over and everything will be fine."
The warmth of her hand spread to Jiang Qinglan's palm, and the latter smiled slightly, with a hint of maternal brilliance on his face, "Well, everything will be fine."
After saying that, she put Xie Ruzhuo's hand on her belly and said softly, "Zhuo'er, come and touch it, it can still move."
As soon as Xie Ruzhuo put her hand up, she felt the baby's hand or foot kicking towards her.
Xie Ruzhuo was immediately surprised and said, "Oh, it's really moving."
She gently put her ear to it and said softly, "Baby, I am my cousin, are you saying hello to me?"
Jiang Qinglan smiled and said, "You are quite vocal." The hand that just touched her belly felt full of happiness.
Although we have gone through so many ups and downs, the final result is still good.
Xie Ruzhuo talked to her unborn child for a while, and then started talking about the marriage between the two families.
Seeing her mention this, Jiang Qinglan showed a sincere smile, "The Jiang family's mistress is very good. She came here that day and spoke a lot of intimate words to me. I also saw that she really liked me. .”
This is true.
In fact, before returning to the Jiang family, they had met the Jiang family's mistress, Ye. Mr. Ye didn't like to see the Jiang family because of what happened to Marshal Jiang. But after seeing Jiang Qinglan, she was very satisfied with this wife.
After the Holy Emperor issued the decree, the Jiang family immediately sent the betrothal gift. According to the rules of three media and six appointments, Jiang Qinglan was not wronged at all.
The Jiang family was still a bit embarrassed at first, but on the one hand, their daughter was already pregnant, and on the other hand, Marshal Jiang also appreciated it, so the matter was settled.
Seeing that Jiang Qinglan's hardships have finally come to an end, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but sigh, "It's great to see you happy."
When Jiang Qinglan comes through the door, her aunt and the others will definitely not treat Jiang Qinglan badly. Xie Ruzhuo feels happy to see her have this day.
The two talked about this matter for a while, but Jiang Qinglan thought of another thing, "Zhuo'er, do you know about the recent rumors in the capital?"
Xie Ruzhuo was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "What did you hear? Tell me."
Jiang Qinglan had a solemn look on her face, with a hint of worry, "Zhuo'er really doesn't know. Now there are rumors in the capital, saying that His Highness the King of Qi is generous and benevolent, and he has made great contributions in annihilating the rebels." , he will definitely inherit the future throne."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo looked indifferent, and joked with interest, "You didn't pay attention to these gossips before, but you have learned to listen to them. Could it be that you are pregnant and have changed your temper?"
Seeing her attitude, Jiang Qinglan immediately nodded her forehead and said angrily, "Bad girl, isn't this for your own good? You are marrying His Royal Highness King Jing now. If King Qi gains power, will you still be good? What? Don’t forget, he was—”
Speaking of this, Jiang Qinglan couldn't help but shut up again, feeling that she had made a mistake. Zhuoer once liked King Qi at first, but that was all in the past. Today's Zhuo'er is Jing Wangfei. What she said is not exposing people's scars.
How could Xie Ruzhuo not understand what she meant? Immediately, he patted Jiang Qinglan's hand and told her to calm down, "Qinglan, I understand you are worried about me. But don't worry, these people always like to follow the trend. What's more, you also know that this is just Rumor has it that the real decision-making power still lies with the person at the top.”
Xie Ruzhuo pointed in the direction of the Forbidden City, and Jiang Qinglan understood immediately. She let out a sigh of relief and said, "I am so pregnant that I have been worried for so long in vain."
Xie Ruzhuo was right. The rumors among the people in the capital would not only not improve Xiao Junhan's situation, but would instead bring disaster to him. After all, no one in a position of power would like to have their position thought about all the time, not even their son.
There had just been a fifth prince seeking to usurp the throne, and now there were rumors in the capital that Emperor Jing would only be disgusted and would not comply with the so-called public opinion.
They may even speculate whether this public opinion is a rumor deliberately released by someone with intentions, just to make it difficult for him.
After she thought about this, she looked at Xie Ruzhuo with a little more admiration, "Zhuo'er, you really married the right person. Now you are a lot smarter."
Xie Ruzhuo didn't understand that she was making fun of him, so he immediately sighed and said, "There is another child in my belly, and you are still talking so rudely, be careful of spoiling the child."
Xie Ruzhuo stayed at the Jiang Mansion until the afternoon. He ate with Jiang Qinglan and talked to her for a while. Seeing that she was a little sleepy, he stood up and left.
Before leaving the Jiang Mansion, she went to pay a greeting to the Jiang family's mistress as a sign of respect, which made the Jiang family's mistress a little flattered.
It wasn't until she got on the carriage that she put away the smile on her face.
She had ordered someone to release that rumor. Xiao Junhan was indeed quite famous now, but it was not to the point where Emperor Jing would identify him as the next generation of county king.
And with this rumor, she was trying to force Emperor Jing on behalf of Xiao Junhan. Doesn't Xiao Junhan want to be the emperor? Then she will make his thoughts public. The higher she praises him at this time, the worse Xiao Junhan will fall when this rumor reaches Emperor Jing!
Isn't he proud of himself? She wants to see how long he can be proud of himself!
When he went to court the next day, a courtier indeed wrote a letter proposing the establishment of a prince.
Emperor Jing's expression did not change, he just read the memorial again and again, then looked at the courtier who submitted the letter and asked, "Li Shilang, in your opinion, who should I make the crown prince?"
When Li Shilang heard this, he immediately said loudly, "Back to the emperor, establishing a prince is the foundation of the country. This has always been done to establish elders and virtuous people. I think that from the perspective of elders and younger ones, King Qi, as the second prince, is the elder; from the virtuous You see, King Qi is also a role model for other princes, so I think we should establish King Qi."
"oh?"
Emperor Jing smiled slightly, snorted, looked at the others, and asked, "What do the other lovers mean?"
As soon as his words came out, some of the courtiers from King Qi's faction knelt down and said, "I second the proposal—"
Suddenly, seven or eight people knelt on the ground and seconded the proposal to make King Qi the crown prince.
Emperor Jing looked at Xiao Junhan with a Mobian expression and asked, "Prince Qi, what do you think?"
Xiao Junhan felt a little proud, but he also knew that he should not take this matter too seriously. He knelt down in a hurry and kowtowed before saying, "Father, my son has neither talent nor virtue, and cannot bear such an important responsibility! Please think again, father!"
As he spoke, he took another deep breath, looked at Xiao Junxi and said, "I think that the third emperor's younger brother is better than my son. Moreover, he is the daughter of Empress Ye, so he is the legitimate son." , Erchen thinks that the Third Emperor’s younger brother should be more suitable.”
These words were taught to him by Shen Jingci. He had a long talk with Shen Jingci last night, which also made him enlightened. The current situation in the capital seems to be favorable to him, but in fact it is a trap. So when Xiao Junhan said these words, he actually wanted to give it a try.
If Emperor Jing really has this intention to establish him, then these words can only show his steadiness. If Emperor Jing did not have this intention, then the support of the courtiers would also make him start to consider this issue.
