"Sister, who are you going to look for?" Si Que lowered his eyes, his mood gloomy.
This really stumped You Yuji. She naturally had no other candidates for the time being. If Si Que's approach didn't work, she would have to look for one among the young opera actors or poor scholars in the opera garden as she did at the beginning.
"Sister, do you think I'm not good enough and are worried that the child will inherit my bad qualities?" Si Que lowered his voice. "Or does sister also think I'm neither male nor female like them?"
You Yuji was startled, and quickly walked around to Si Que, squatted down, and lifted the cloak on his knees. She looked at Si Que and said, "It would be a blessing if my child could be as good-looking as you, and it would be even more of a blessing if he could inherit your talent. You are very good, I am just worried about you."
Si Que smiled slowly, his bright eyes shimmering with innocence: "Then sister, please wait for me for a few more days, don't let me stop taking the medicine in vain."
Looking at Si Que's eyes, You Yuzhi silently looked away.
In the old days in Sidi, she had heard men jokingly say that Princess Que was aloof and cold and didn't like to laugh, and that they would be willing to do anything to make Princess Que laugh. Some men even said after drinking that if they could make Princess Que laugh, they would be satisfied even if they died.
Who said he didn't like to smile? He always smiled at her.
He really looks good when he smiles.
You Yuji stood up, walked behind Si Que again, and pushed him towards Yunxiao Pavilion. Halfway through, she met Tingyun who was coming back to get something. You Yuji stopped and stopped seeing Si Que off, after all, there were guests ahead who needed her to entertain.
After You Yuji went to the front, Tingyun asked, "When are you going to dig out the eyeballs?"
"Give it to me." Si Que said.
Tingyun was stunned for a moment before handing the needle and thread to Si Que.
You Yuji hurried to the front yard, and just as she passed through the corridor, she ran into Chen Anzhi who was chasing after her. This was the first time they had run into each other since they signed the divorce agreement.
Chen Anzhi looked at You Yuji with a complicated look in his eyes.
He asked, "Did you send her back?"
"Yes. He is not feeling well and needs to rest as soon as he gets home. It is better for you not to disturb him, Prince." You Yuji said. Although she had seen Chen Anzhi's humble appearance in front of Si Que last time, it would be very dangerous if Si Que's disguise as a woman was revealed. Now Si Que is in poor health, so she naturally hopes that Chen Anzhi and Si Que will have less contact.
Chen Anzhi looked towards the direction of Yunxiao Pavilion and nodded.
You Yuji said no more, walked past Chen Anzhi and went to the front yard.
Chen Anzhi retracted his gaze and turned to look at You Yuji's graceful back as she left. You Yuji took off her cloak and gave it to Si Que to cover her legs. The cool breeze blew her skirt to one side, outlining her waistline. Chen Anzhi couldn't help but take a few more glances at You Yuji's slender waist.
Food and sex are human nature.
Chen Anzhi had to admit that even though he didn't like You Yuji's beauty, she was indeed a beauty whose even her shadow could seduce people.
Chen Anzhi sighed again, if You Yuji was not his principal wife but a concubine, he would probably dote on her extremely.
Chen Anzhi remembered what his father said, that Doctor Hu needed the umbilical cord blood from a close relative to treat You Yuzhi's mother.
You Yuji's figure had already turned around the Moon Gate and disappeared, but Chen Anzhi was still looking at the Moon Gate with a frown. He was very confused - wasn't You Yuji very filial? Her mother needed the umbilical cord blood of her loved one for medicine, so why didn't she come to him for sex
Why is she still so stubborn at this time? Does she not care about her mother's life
How about he take the initiative to find her? This thought popped up in Chen Anzhi's mind for a moment, and he strangled it. He was still angry about the two slaps, how could he take the initiative to find her so easily
Women, you can't be too indulged. You need to be trained and educated in moderation so that you can develop into a good wife who is comfortable with herself.
Chen Anzhi decided to leave You Yujie alone for a few more days.
As for the divorce letter
Chen Anzhi felt that no woman could endure the rumors after the divorce, and that the divorce letter was just You Yuji's momentary anger. When she figured it out, she would not leave even if he drove her away.
You Yuji went back to the front and first went to see the woman who fell into the water. Jia Wenyin hated You Yuji so much, but You Yuji didn't know Jia Wenyin at all. You Yuji asked about the pillow that had helped take care of Jia Wenyin after the accident, but learned that Jia Wenyin had already passed away.
"The woman who fell into the water had a fierce mother-in-law. When I took her to change her clothes, her mother-in-law kept scolding her for being unpresentable and calling her a surrendered person. She said a lot of nasty things. Those words were really nasty and I am embarrassed to repeat them. Probably because she felt ashamed of falling into the water, she changed her clothes and left with her family."
You Yuji nodded, thinking that it seemed that this person was also one of the surrendered people who married the people of Chen during the mass marriage arranged by His Majesty, but she didn't know which surrendered country it was. It shouldn't be someone from Si, because if it was someone from Si, she would know him.
There were many people and things to do today, so You Yuji put Jia Wenyin aside for the moment and went to entertain the guests first. She thought about sending some small gifts to the Zhao family another day.
The guests left after dark. You Yuji went back to Tanxiang Yingyue and took a comfortable milk bath. Then she went back to her bedroom and hugged Baisui on the bed, flipping through a book that recorded some precautions for having children.
Madam Jing opened the curtain and came in: "Madam, you didn't eat much tonight, would you like some midnight snacks?"
You Yuji shook her head.
"The red bean porridge tonight tastes good. Let the cook make some more and send it to Yunxiao Pavilion." You Yuji thought for a moment, "It's been cold lately, and the princess isn't feeling well. Let the kitchen prepare some supplementary meals and send them over every day starting tomorrow."
Bao He laughed at the side: "Madam is so kind to Princess Que."
You Yuji smiled, and gently stroked Baisui's chin with her slender fingers. She had not told anyone around her about her plan, nor had she let them know that Si Que was a man.
I'll tell you when my belly gets bigger and I can't hide it anymore. You Yuji turned another page and continued to learn about pregnancy. This child was destined to be different from ordinary children, so she had to show more patience and love to love him.
When the red bean porridge that You Yuji had ordered was delivered to Yunxiao Pavilion, it was not handed over to Si Que.
Si Que was not in the mansion.
Si Que walked in the night, and occasionally people returning home late would pass by him on the street. A black veil covered his expressionless face. He was not wearing the loose snow-white women's dress he usually wore, but a dark men's suit with narrow sleeves and a waist, and the green jade belt was the only color.
The whole person is slender and upright.
Passing by a snack stall that was about to close, Si Que bought a bag of roasted chestnuts and then went to Tianlao.
The accommodations for prisoners in the prison are also divided into different levels. Although the Si royal family was ordered to be detained by Emperor Chen, there was no order for execution. After all, they had a special status and it was unknown when they would be released again, so their life was pretty good compared to other prisoners.
Being imprisoned in a cell with restricted movements, the only thing we could do after dinner was to sit together and chat with a few people.
Si Que stood outside the cell, listening coldly to the conversation inside.
"I don't know where the prince is now." The speaker was Si Que's third brother.
"There is no news from Si Hua either." The speaker this time was Si Chengping, the former emperor of Si State and now a prisoner.
Si Chengping sighed, "At the beginning, we had to go to the capital and were trapped in the other palace, but the second brother was not imprisoned in the other palace of Chen State. It was because we thought that one day he could provide some support outside. Now the second brother should have met the prince and can help the prince a lot."
"Emperor Chen will definitely dig deep into the ground to capture our younger brother, the Crown Prince. I hope our younger brother can leave Chen Jing safely and return to our territory." The speaker was Si Que's fourth brother.
Si Que lowered his eyes, slowly eating roasted chestnuts while listening to how his relatives on the other side of the wall cared about his brother the Crown Prince.
They talked a lot, expressing their concern about how the prince would evade the pursuit of the State of Chen and how he would surely suffer a lot while escaping.
Si Que had almost finished the roasted chestnuts in the bag when he finally heard them mention him.
"I heard that Si Que became a concubine of Chen Zheng's son..." The speaker was Si Que's fifth brother.
"It is righteous to commit suicide to avoid humiliation." Si Chengping said, "It would be best if you could throw yourself into a well. The body will not be easy to salvage, and the secret of your manhood can be kept completely secret."
Fourth brother suddenly smiled and said, "That Prince An was staring at Xiao Qi in a daze at the beginning. Maybe he didn't mind that Xiao Qi was a boy and started a relationship with him."
The third brother laughed and joked, "Do you want Xiao Qi to use his ability to climb the bed to help us have a better life in prison?"
"Well, I was just saying it casually. Xiao Qi should have died a long time ago. It's a pity that he has to suffer humiliation with a face that looks just like the prince's brother. It's an insult to the prince."
The fifth brother didn't joke, and even felt a little regretful: "Although he didn't have a good end, but the national teacher said that he wouldn't live past the 10th, so he couldn't have a good end anyway."
It suddenly became quiet.
Lao Wu realized that he had said something wrong and immediately shut up.
Everyone in Si State knew that His Majesty respected the Imperial Master very much and treated him as a distinguished guest. Si Chengping even called the Imperial Master his elder brother. But the Imperial Master was just a charlatan. Si Chengping was furious when he found out, but it was too late when he learned the truth. For the sake of face, he was unwilling to admit that he had misjudged people. He continued to respect the Imperial Master and endured for another two years, and then secretly sent someone to assassinate the Imperial Master. He even wanted to bury the Imperial Master with great honor, just to hide his stupidity of being deceived.
Can’t survive Double Tenth
Si Que raised his eyes and looked inside through the lattice window on the iron door.
He was not born weak, he did not need to be pampered like a woman, he did not have the fate of not living past his 10th birthday, everything was fake. Even if there was, it was because he was fed too much "medicine for curing illness and nourishing the body" when he was just born, and the medicine was three-quarters poisonous, which damaged his originally healthy body.
When he was young, Si Que once did not understand why his father wanted him to continue recuperating as a woman after he found out that the imperial teacher was a liar. But he vaguely knew that if he were the crown prince, he might not be treated like this. No matter how outstanding he was, he would always be a vassal of the crown prince.
We only need one prince, and having an older brother is enough.
He was an abandoned child since birth.
When he was young, Si Que couldn't understand: was it so difficult to make his father admit that he was deceived by the imperial teacher and restore his masculinity
It's just that difficult.
His mother said to him: This is the emperor's face.
Then, she had people pierce his neck with silver needles and rub his Adam's apple with a dangerous prescription.
He was taciturn when he was young because for a long time he had a sore throat when speaking and could not even make a sound. He loved his piano because when he could not make a sound, he could use the strings under his fingers to make a sound.
The Queen Mother hugged him and said, "A Que, for the sake of your father's reputation, I have to let you down."
He could not utter a word in his mother's warm embrace, but he thought in his heart that his mother would never treat her Ah Lang like this.
Fortunately, the woman died.
Suffocated in the coffin.
Si Que made her coffin into his beloved zither, playing gentle and romantic music one after another. He didn't know if she could hear it.
The last roasted chestnut in the bag was eaten, and the people inside had already started talking about other things. In the end, Si Que didn't hear a single good word said about him.
He was not surprised.
Si Que turned around and left the prison.
The jailers guarding the prison stood there with dull eyes, as if they had not noticed Si Que. Si Que walked into the empty space, waved his hand, and an almost invisible powder floated, slowly removing the poison from the people.
Si Que walked out of the sky prison, stood in the dark night, and stopped to look back.
If he wanted to, he could easily rescue them, but they just hoped that Si Lang would come to rescue them.
"A bunch of idiots." Si Que chuckled and walked into the night.
