Ning Yuxuan really didn't have dinner, with a gloomy face, sitting in the room drawing pictures of ladies.
Jinse stood aside, looking at the beautiful eyebrows slowly sketched on the paper, and asked shyly, "Master Hou is painting a concubine?"
Mo Yuhou paused his pen, looked carefully at the outline on the paper, and pursed his lips.
Looking at the lines, it does look a little like Jinse, a little like Mu Shuiqing, and a little bit like Wenwan. He put down his pen, smiled lightly and said, "The beauties in the painting are not as real as those outside the painting after all, so let's rest early."
After all, he turned around and was about to go out.
"Master Hou?" Jin Se was startled: "Where are you going?"
As soon as the words came out, I realized that this was not a question she could ask. Jinse quickly lowered her head and stepped aside. Mo Yuhou went straight to Ji Man's room without stopping.
It was getting late, and the food box from the kitchen was still warm. Sitting at the table, Ji Man took out a small dish of stir-fried food, tasted it, and it tasted good.
The licorice beside him whispered: "The master cooked the food, why didn't you give it to Lord Hou?"
Ji Man raised her eyebrows: "Who stipulated that I must give the food to Lord Hou when I cook it? Can't I eat it myself?"
Dim Wick followed suit and nodded: "Yes, you see Hou Ye was with that goblin, and he didn't pay attention to the master at all, why did the master send him food?"
The person who looked up and pushed the door outside the room paused.
Although the words of the wick were not what she wanted to express, she was too lazy to explain. These two girls were lively and cute, but they had a lot of loyalty. She couldn't tell them about cooking for Ning Mingjie.
"It's getting late, you guys should go and rest too." Ji Man said.
The two maids tidied up the room, helped Ji Man to the bed and lowered the curtains, and then bowed and left.
As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he saw Mo Yuhou outside, Licorice and Lamp Wick were shocked, and wanted to shout, but Ning Yuxuan stopped him: "I'll go in by myself."
Deng wick remembered what he had just said, and didn't know how much Hou Ye had listened to it. Afraid that he would blame him, he hurriedly pulled the licorice and left.
Ning Yuxuan walked in quietly, closed the door, glanced at the bed with hanging curtains, sat at the table and took a sip of fried rice, the haze on his face lightly dissipated.
Ji Man lay down for a while, guessing that it was almost time, so he turned over and planned to open the window to see if Ning Mingjie was there.
As soon as the curtain was opened, he saw a person sitting at the table outside, silently putting down his chopsticks.
"You..." Ji Man was taken aback, his face turned pale with fright, and his whole body tensed up, fearing that it might be some kind of thief again. Anyone who wakes up in the middle of the night and sees this scene will be shocked.
Ning Yuxuan turned his head, glanced at her pale face, and said lightly, "It's me."
Ji Man felt relieved, and almost yelled, his grandma's rat was stealing something, and this man has been here for a long time, but he didn't make a sound at all, what is it if he didn't intend to scare people? She should have pretended not to know it was him just now, throwing a vase at him and shouting "Stop the thief!"
Ning Yuxuan seemed to be in a good mood, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he looked at her and said, "Isn't it a waste to put it here if you don't eat it?"
Ji Man paused, quickly put on his clothes and got out of bed to look. Well, he actually ate all the food in a box? There were only a few empty plates and two leftover dishes on the table, not a single bit of meat left.
Gritting her teeth, Ji Man took a deep breath and asked with a smile, "Have you eaten enough, Lord Hou?"
Stealing food is not something above board, Mo Yuhou coughed lightly, and said, "I'm a little hungry, so it tastes good."
The implication is that what she cooks is not delicious? Ji Man felt that fire prevention and theft should be prevented in the future, and the things that he planned to thank Ning Mingjie were stolen by this person!
Fell back on the bed angrily, Ji Man said in a calm voice: "I'm sleepy, let's rest first, Master Hou can do what he wants."
It was rare to see her being so clearly unhappy, Ning Yuxuan got up and walked to the bed, thought for a while, took off his coat and lay down on her, wrapping his arms around her waist.
Ji Man rolled away from him and rolled into a ball towards the wall, looking like he had thorns on his back.
Angry? Mo Yuhou raised his eyebrows, feeling a little funny. Just about to say a few words to tease and tease, but I heard the person next to me whisper: "Considering the time, it won't be long before we go back. How is Miss Jinse planning to settle down?"
Mo Yuhou raised his eyebrows, he thought she would not mention this to him: "You want me to take Jinse back?"
Ji Man shook her head: "Miss Jinse's identity is not suitable, besides, if you take her back, Madam will definitely be unhappy."
Thinking of Wen Wan, Mo Yuhou's eyes flashed. After leaving her for so long, I don't know if she is more sensible. Sang Yu was right, if she brought Jinse back, Wen Wan would definitely be unhappy.
However, it is impossible for him to only have Wen Wan as a woman in his life, but Wen Wan insists on him being single-minded.
"Jinse is a transfer, I don't intend to take her back." Ning Yuxuan said slowly: "But seeing how thoughtful she is in serving, I still feel a little bit reluctant."
The evil polygamy, Ji Man scolded him silently in his heart, and then said solemnly: "Master Hou should take care of Madam's feelings, it's not good to go back home and feel restless."
"Wen Wan is as unreasonable as you said?" Ning Yuxuan was not happy: "Why do you always think of people so badly?"
Ji Man glanced back at him with helplessness in his eyes: "Take it as my concubine with a vicious heart and think badly about him."
This look made Mo Yuhou feel quite uncomfortable. He frowned, but didn't say any more.
There was nothing to say all night, and there was someone lying beside him, so Ji Man fell asleep quickly.
For the next few days, Mo Yuhou rested at Jinse's place every day, and the two of them were very happy, watching Concubine Nie worryingly pulling Ji Man to talk.
"Aunt, don't worry, think about brother's marriage first, to be happy." Ji Man said with a smile: "Aunt doesn't need to worry about Sangyu, just wait until you return to the capital."
Concubine Nie was even more worried: "I pointed out that you were able to bear the favor and conceive a child along the way, but you gave the favor to that woman for nothing?"
"You gain only when you lose." Ji Man comforted her: "Auntie, don't worry about it and rest well, Sang Yu will not let you down."
Concubine Nie was skeptical, after sailing through Kyushu, she was about to return to Beijing, but according to the news she received, Marquis Moyu had only favored Sangyu five times in total.
In the whole two months, there were only five favors. Concubine Nie felt that the child need not think about it. Now she only hopes that Sang Yu's good performance along the way can wash away the previous infamy and make Mo Yuhou value two points.
The fact is that Nie Sangyu's performance along the way was indeed very good. Not only did the wives of the various families stop chewing her tongue behind her back, but even when the emperor returned to Beijing and ordered to reward Mo Yuhou, he brought Ji Man with him.
After the southern tour, there was no disturbance, and Ji Man could always see Ning Mingjie's shadow whenever he opened the window, no matter on the boat or in the house. According to Er Rong, her elder brother is used to staying out at night, and because of this, he caught the assassin twice and made meritorious deeds. With him guarding him, Ji Man never had a nightmare again, nor did he encounter any danger.
When returning to Beijing, Mo Yuhou took Jinse with him.
Jiman didn't feel any surprise, because three days ago, Jinse was confirmed to be pregnant. Although it could not be found out in less than a month, the holy monk said that she had a baby boy in her womb.
Before returning to Beijing, everyone went to the Buddhist temple to wash the dust. This holy monk was also the abbot of the Buddhist temple. The emperor trusted him quite a lot. He listened to him talk about Zen for a long time. When he left, he left a calligraphy as a gift to the Buddhist temple.
Out of respect for the emperor's vision, Mo Yuhou acquiesced in the child and agreed to take Jinse back.
Concubine Nie is so angry, this is like giving someone else a wedding dress, and Sang Yu is not pregnant!
Ji Man didn't know why, but he was in a good mood, and happily did yoga in his room after dinner.
There is nothing to worry about, if she goes back pregnant, she will be a thorn in the side of the people in the house, and I don't know how much trouble it will cause. It's all right now, there's a jinse on the top, not only brought back from the road, but also pregnant, it must be more dazzling than her, she can watch the play quietly beside her, how wonderful!
When Dim Wick opened the door, he saw his master twisting on the bed, with the back of his feet rolled over his shoulders, his whole body was twisted.
"Master! Don't be overthinking it!" With a loud cry, the lamp wick rushed over, frightened Jiman almost twisted his waist, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
This howl resounded through the palace outside the capital, and before returning to the capital, rumors spread again, saying that Lord Hou had a lot of peach blossoms along the way, forcing Nie Sangyu to commit suicide...
When the news came back to Marquis Moyu's mansion, Qi Siling breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart sank again.
It seemed that Nie Sangyu didn't ask for anything in the past two months, which made her a lot happier, but why did Lord Hou bring another woman back
Moreover, her background is similar to that of Mu Shuiqing, but she is a real courtesan, and her upbringing is not as good as Mu Shuiqing's. I heard that she was sent by the prince again
When Mu Shuiqing heard such news, her face turned blue. She finally raised her baby with peace of mind, and now her stomach is slightly in shape, but a woman who threatens her status comes
All the women in the mansion couldn't sleep well, and when Mo Yuhou returned to the mansion, all the houses and courtyards were dressed in their best clothes, waiting for people to come back, without gentle instructions.
Since Jinse was told by the holy monk that she was pregnant, her whole face was full of smiles, and she shyly clung to Moyuhou all the way without letting go. Ji Man originally thought she was quite quiet, but now that she is in power, she is showing signs of anger and joy, so she is really not a solid pet.
When they boarded the carriage and went back to the residence, due to their identities, Jiman and Mo Yuhou were supposed to ride in the front carriage, while Jinse and the maidservants rode together. However, Jin Se held Mo Yuhou's hand and refused to let go, and Ji Man didn't say much, and went to sit with the licorice lamp by herself.
So when the car arrived at Hou's mansion, Wen Wan took a step forward, and Mo Yuhou and a strange, delicate woman came down to greet her.
It was two months since I hadn't seen each other, and the feeling of missing was beyond words, but looking at this scene, Wen Wan's face darkened.
