King Rui directly took out the edict of the first emperor from his arms and handed it to Chu Xiuming. This is what Princess Rui told him. They are all from his family. If they are still on guard against each other, how can they get along well? King Rui himself still has doubts in his heart. Knowing that even Shen Jin went to Beijing for her own sake, she had no other thoughts.
Chu Xiuming took it over and handed it to Chu Xiuyuan to keep it safe. He hugged Dongdong and personally sent off King Rui, Princess Rui and Shen Qi. Although Zhao Duan had a lot to say to his sister, he also knew Now is not the time to talk, after sending the person to the Jin Mansion, he will take his leave first.
Not only Zhao Duan, but Chu Xiuming and the others didn't wait too long. Shen Qi kept holding Baozhu and refused to let go, but Baozhu kept crying and stretching her hands towards Concubine Chen, which made people feel distressed. , but Concubine Chen hugged Shen Qing, but she didn't intend to take another look. After all, Shen Qi felt sorry for her daughter, and inevitably felt that Concubine Chen was too cold, and didn't know if her daughter was with Concubine Chen at all Not being taken seriously, it is inevitable to feel angry when thinking about it, but knowing that it is no better than the capital now, so I can only bow my head and hug my daughter even tighter, without saying a word.
Seeing Concubine Chen carrying Shen Qing and leaving with Chu Xiuming, King Rui frowned and was about to say something when Princess Rui gently pressed his arm, and then he endured it, and when everyone left, Princess Rui I met the servants in the mansion, most of them belonged to Prince Rui's mansion back then, Princess Rui took a look at it and arranged for them, handing them all over to Cuixi, then looked at Shen Qi and said, "Let me see the orb. "
Shen Qi's eyes were red, it was obvious that he had just cried, but after hearing this, he handed his daughter to Princess Rui, Princess Rui patted her gently, and asked someone to fetch water to wipe Baozhu's face, Baozhu was already tired from crying At this time, Shuangqiao twitched, and Shuangqiao hurried to get honey water to feed Baozhu. Since she left Beijing, Shuangqiao has been taking care of Baozhu. Seeing Baozhu like this at this time, she couldn't hide her distress, but just now she looked at Shen Qi didn't look right, so naturally he didn't dare to move.
King Rui looked at it and said, "What's the matter?"
"I'm afraid I have admitted the birth." Princess Rui was not as good as Shen Qi. After coaxing for a while, Baozhu stretched out her hand towards Shuangqiao, and then she handed the child to Shuangqiao. hiccup.
Shen Qi couldn't hold back her tears, Princess Rui sighed slowly, and said, "My lord, you rest first, I'll take Qi'er to freshen up."
King Rui nodded and said, "I'll go and see the layout of the study."
Princess Rui agreed, and brought Shen Qi, Shuangqiao and Baozhu into the inner room. The layout of this room was in accordance with Princess Rui's habits in Beijing. Princess Rui had already seen it when she was changing clothes, "Shuangqiao also Sit down."
After Shuangqiao saluted, she sat down on the small round stool in the corner, only dared to sit halfway, Baozhu was drowsy in Shuangqiao's arms, Shen Qi's expression was a little distorted, Shuangqiao could see it naturally, but in On Princess Rui's side, before Princess Rui spoke, she could only lower her head and not speak.
Princess Rui glanced at her daughter, lowered her eyes slightly and said, "The stitches on Baozhu's clothes look familiar to me, are they made by Concubine Chen?"
"If you go back to Concubine Chen, Concubine Chen did it." Shuangqiao immediately understood the meaning of Concubine Rui. If Shen Qi and Concubine Chen had an affair, it would be very unfavorable for Shen Qi. , The side concubine also made quite a few sets of clothes, and the rest were handed over to the maids of the general's mansion."
Shen Qi said, "Why are there only a few sets?"
Shuang Qiao replied respectfully, "Chen Concubine..."
"Shuangqiao, take the orb and go down to rest first." Before Shuangqiao finished speaking, Princess Rui said.
After hearing the words, Shuangqiao hurriedly stood up and saluted, then went down with the orb in her arms.
Shen Qi said sharply, "Mother..." She wanted to say that Concubine Chen didn't care about Baozhu at all, she wanted to say that Concubine Chen's wings were stiff, but looking at Princess Rui's eyes, she couldn't continue.
Princess Rui said calmly, "Shen Qi, you have disappointed me so much."
"Mother." Shen Qi looked at her mother in disbelief.
Princess Rui said, "Have you acted recklessly enough?"
Shen Qi said angrily, "I didn't."
Princess Rui rubbed her brows wearily and said, "Shen Qi, no one forced you to leave the capital, and no one owed you anything. If you still behave like this, I will directly ask the Marquis of Yongning to send you back .”
Shen Qi seemed to have lost all energy for a moment, and sat down, Princess Rui continued, "It's fine for the journey, after all, your father and I understand you, but now it's a border town, and you are a guest at someone's house, so please accept it." Take the temper of your princess."
"Mother..." Shen Qi covered her face and began to cry.
Princess Rui didn't even go to comfort her but said, "Shen Qi, Concubine Chen doesn't owe you anything, children are the last thing to hide. If Concubine Chen treats Baozhu badly, how can Baozhu rely on her so much?"
"But Bao Zhu cried so pitifully, but she didn't feel anything." Shen Qi said with sobs.
Princess Rui said coldly, "Does she want to snatch the orb from your arms to comfort her?"
Shen Qi stopped talking, Princess Rui said, "You only cared about Baozhu and cried, didn't you see Concubine Chen also cried? If it wasn't for you and Baozhu, why would she be like this?"
"I wronged my mother." Shen Qi said.
Princess Rui shook her head, "Go back and think about it carefully, you don't understand what's wrong at all."
Shen Qi moved his lips, but he couldn't say anything, and finally he complied in a somewhat dejected manner, sent Shen Qi away, and then Princess Rui walked to the window, opened the window and looked at the scenery outside, although not all Turning around this yard, but from these few places, it can be seen that this yard has indeed been carefully thought out, especially when it is next to the Zhao Mansion.
It's just about her daughter. Now that Shen Qi's temperament is a bit left-handed, she can see clearly about right and wrong, but she is somewhat... Even before Shen Qi sees it clearly, Concubine Chen is no longer the one in Prince Rui's mansion. She is the side concubine Chen, she is willing to take care of Baozhu, she is kind, even if she doesn't want to take care of her, who can say anything? What's more, it is not bad that Concubine Chen is willing to return the child to Shen Qi. If Concubine Chen is really reluctant, then it is uncertain whether Baozhu can return to Shen Qi's side.
Border Town... Princess Rui looked outside, and suddenly stretched out her hand out of the window. When Cuixi came in, Concubine Chen had already recovered her composure, and she just said, "Cuixi, re-arrange all the furnishings in the room, the pair of bottles with happy eyebrows placed in... ”
"Yes." Cui Xi didn't have any doubts, but respectfully responded, and carefully wrote down what Princess Rui ordered.
In fact, Cuixi knew that the decorations and clothes in the capital were not what Princess Rui liked, but had to be like this, but everyone didn't know about it, but Cuixi could see something, Princess Rui never liked dull colors, What she likes is the kind of beautiful and flamboyant color.
Now that she has left the capital, Princess Rui no longer needs to wrong herself, but Princess Rui found that she seems to have changed a lot over the years, not like her preferences when she was not married, nor the color she was used to when she was in the capital. some.
When King Rui came in, he saw the servant girl busy back and forth, and asked, "Why doesn't it suit you?"
Princess Rui laughed and said, "No, I just want to change my mood."
King Rui didn't ask any more questions. Concubine Rui didn't ask people to change everything, so it was fixed quickly. King Rui asked people to go out and asked, "Isn't side concubine Chen staying with us?"
Princess Rui is arranging the vase, and Princess Rui just asked the maid to go outside to pick it. She didn't trim off the excess branches like she did in the capital, but adjusted the position, and said, "Well , Jin girl has entered the capital, and it is not good that there is no one in the Yongning Hou's mansion."
King Rui frowned and said, "She's just a side concubine."
Princess Rui laughed when she heard the words, "But she is Girl Jin's biological mother, so it's not good if Dongdong has no one to take care of her."
King Rui thought about it and felt that what Princess Rui said made sense, nodded and said, "Then take Brother Qing back and keep it by your side."
Princess Rui didn't want to raise children for King Rui's concubine, she just said, "Didn't Concubine Chen take good care of Brother Qing?"
"After all, it's my son, and it's not a problem to be raised in the Yongning Hou Mansion." King Rui said.
After hearing the words, Princess Rui understood in her heart that even though she was beating her along the way, King Rui had a little more thought in his heart. Said, "In that case, take him back."
As expected, King Rui nodded in satisfaction, and Princess Rui continued, "Qi'er's time is not right, and with the orb here, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of the child with me."
"Then who will take care of it?" King Rui asked.
Princess Rui said, "Leave it to the maidservant."
King Rui frowned. Princess Rui felt that although Concubine Chen would be reluctant to give up, she would have a choice. In fact, according to Princess Rui's idea, it would be better for the child to be raised with Concubine Chen, not only because Concubine Chen would be careful. Take care, even the child's future will be better, "Actually, it's good to have Concubine Chen take care of you. If the prince misses brother Qing, just take him to live for two days. We just arrived in the border town, and there are still many things to be busy with." Woolen cloth."
"Alright." King Rui said at this point.
Princess Rui nodded and didn't say anything else, King Rui let out a breath slowly, "What about Xi'er?"
"Xi'er rests today, so do whatever you want tomorrow." Princess Rui understood what King Rui meant, and she was asking about Shen Xi's going to the military camp. In King Rui's heart, he didn't want his son to take risks, but Princess Rui was I agree, thinking of the thoughts that King Rui instilled in Shen Xi along the way, it makes Princess Rui a little upset, she still needs to have a good talk with Shen Xi.
King Rui said, "It doesn't need to be so hard."
It can be said that Princess Rui was pleasantly surprised to see her son this time. She can see all the changes in his son. Princess Rui can see very clearly that his son will definitely grow up if things go on like this. Doesn't King Rui love his son? It also hurts, but his pain is not the same as that of Princess Rui. "I think Xi'er is so good. He also likes the life in the military camp. Besides, there are three sons-in-law watching him and he will not encounter any danger." Eyes narrowed Then he smiled and said, "Military power is very important."
King Rui suddenly thought of Emperor Cheng, isn't it just for the sake of military power that these things are being tossed about? When things are done, he won't distrust Chu Xiuming, but compared with Chu Xiuming, his son is more reassuring, so he doesn't say anything when he thinks about it.
"Tell me, is girl Jin in danger?" King Rui asked suddenly.
Princess Rui said, "I don't know, we are the ones who made her suffer."
King Rui pursed his lips, "I will make up for it in the future."
"En." Princess Rui lowered her eyes slightly, hiding the emotion in her eyes.
After resting for a day, Shen Xi came early to pay respects to King Rui and Princess Rui. Princess Rui left her son by her side to talk, and King Rui himself wanted to leave a few words to explain, but Chu Xiuming sent someone to invite King Rui , King Rui left first, leaving only their mother and son, Princess Rui asked Cuixi to watch outside, but asked directly, "Xi'er, your father and king have told you a lot of things along the way. Forget it all."
"Ah?" Shen Xi didn't react for a while.
Princess Rui looked at her son, and pointed to the seat in the capital, "That seat is not for your father, so you should get rid of those thoughts, and just listen to your little uncle."
Shen Xi looked at Princess Rui and asked, "Mother, why do you say that?"
Princess Rui just said, "This kind of temptation will make everyone's heart flutter, but you have to remember, that is not your father's position, or do you think your father's ability can secure that position?"
"But there are also grandfathers and uncles." Shen Xi asked, "Besides, who else can sit besides the father?"
"A person who is more righteous than your father, the son of King Ying, and even Emperor Cheng." Princess Rui said in a deep voice, "I tell you, I just hope you don't hold those unrealistic ideas, which will be inappropriate at that time." .”
Shen Xi's complexion changed drastically and he asked, "Impossible."
Princess Rui pursed her lips and said, "Why do you think your little uncle went to the border town?"
Just as Shen Xi opened his mouth to answer, Princess Rui said, "Don't say it's for me and your father. At that time, we hadn't decided to come to the border town, and the situation in the border town... why do you think your little uncle will be dismissed as soon as he comes?" Everyone accepts it, and can even enter and leave the chamber freely."
Being mentioned by Princess Rui, Shen Xi also discovered something that he had neglected all the time, Princess Rui looked at her son, and said softly, "Think about it for yourself, even if there is something you don't understand, don't ask me. "
"But..." Shen Xi looked at Princess Rui and asked for a long time, "What does mother think I should do?"
"What you did when your father and I were not here, you should do now." Princess Rui said, "Don't think about things you can't get."
Shen Xi lowered his head and thought for a long time before saying, "I understand mother, I will listen to you." Did Shen Xi really understand? No, because he couldn't think of anyone who was a more legitimate person than his father and even Emperor Cheng, but his mother also said that he would not tell him the rest, so even if he wanted to ask, he didn't know how to ask, but He knew his mother would not harm him.
Princess Rui's eyes flashed, and she said with a bit of relief on her face, "Since that's the case, that's fine. You can go to your little uncle if you have nothing to do. Just listen to what your father said."
Shen Xi nodded in response, Princess Rui said, "Don't you want to go to the military camp?"
"I told my third brother-in-law yesterday, and my third brother-in-law asked me to accompany my mother to wander around the border town." Shen Xi realized his negligence after being reminded, and said with some embarrassment, "Mom, the border town is different from the capital city. Let me take you for a walk."
Princess Rui pursed her lips and said, "Alright, then take me and your sister out for a walk tomorrow."
"Elder Sister..." Shen Xi hesitated and asked, "Is Eldest Sister feeling better?" He only found out about Eldest Sister and Eldest Brother-in-law on the way, but it was hard to persuade him.
Princess Rui shook her head, "I hope to walk more, your eldest sister can think about it."
Shen Xi nodded, and told his mother some interesting things in the border town, especially in the barracks, and about Zhao Jun and Zhao Che. Princess Rui knew that Zhao Jun liked to eat roasted whole lamb and Zhao Che preferred it. After eating roast beef, she knew the content of Shen Xuan's letter to him, and also knew that Shen Jin often sent them things. Princess Rui looked at Shen Xi who had grown a lot taller, and she didn't know how her eldest son was doing now.
When he saw the gate of the capital, Sun Peng only felt relieved. How should he explain to Emperor Cheng? He also had an idea in his mind. Because of the weather, Shen Jin did not directly enter the palace, but went to Prince Rui's mansion instead. At this time, the Ruiwang Mansion was empty. In order to find out the escape route of Rui Wang and Rui Wangfei, Emperor Cheng searched Rui Wangfu many times. The emperor couldn't find it for a while, and now it's not like when he ascended the throne, and the son of the king of England was watching. If he made a big noise, it might be the son of the king of England...
Now the people in Prince Rui’s Mansion were arranged by Emperor Cheng later. Although they can also take care of the affairs of Prince Rui’s Mansion, they are not sad, so when Shen Jin arrived at the gate of Prince Rui’s Mansion, he was a little surprised and asked, “My father What about the concubine?"
Sun Peng was on the side, looking at Shen Jin's appearance, he couldn't tell whether it was true or not. If it was true... then it meant that Shen Jin really didn't know that King Rui and Princess Rui had escaped from the capital. Didn't you go to the border town? If it was fake, Sun Peng took a closer look, frowned, and thought carefully in his heart.
However, Shen Jin had already dismissed the gatekeepers, and led people directly into Prince Rui's mansion, and then he panicked. After repeated inquiries, he found out about the departure of King Rui and Princess Rui. Shen Jin looked at Sun Peng, and asked in a deep voice , "Do you know what's going on?"
"This subordinate doesn't know." Sun Peng knelt down and said respectfully.
Shen Jin obviously didn't believe it, but because Sun Peng had already followed into Beijing, he stopped talking about whether Sun Peng was a spy for the son of the King of England. It was just that the courtyard where she lived was cleaned up, but Sun Peng asked, "Hou Why don't Madam go to the Marquis of Yongning?"
"No one has lived there for a long time. I came to Beijing this time on a tight schedule, so I didn't send someone to clean it up in advance." Although Shen Jin was in a bad mood, she didn't mean to embarrass others.
Sun Peng said in a respectful voice, "This subordinate has already escorted Mrs. Yongning Hou into Beijing, so I will take my leave first."
Shen Jin nodded and said, "I misunderstood you a few days ago, I'm really sorry."
Sun Peng said, "Don't dare."
Shen Jin looked at Yue Wen and said, "I think he wants to ask Uncle Huang to return to his command. Yue Wen should hand over the envoy of Prince Ying's son to him."
Sun Peng didn't realize it for a while, Shen Jin was very guarded all the way, he didn't find the whereabouts of the envoy of King Ying's son at all, why did he entrust his friendship to him at this time
Shen Jin didn't say anything, just waved his hand, and Yue Wen was ordered to take Sun Peng to hand over the man.
An Ning stayed by Shen Jin's side. After An Tao came in, she went to the small kitchen. At this time, she brought red date tea. The reason why it was so fast was because these things had been warming on the small stove of the carriage. Shen Jin drank the red date tea. After a few mouthfuls, An Yi took people to clean up the yard. Except for the needed ones, the rest of the luggage was not unpacked. After all, they all knew that they were just resting temporarily in Rui Wang's Mansion.
And An Lan had already gone back to her room to tidy up the place where the maids lived. Shen Jin saw An Yuan, and An Yuan stayed by Zheng Liang's side all the way. An Yi packed up her things together, and An Tao asked, "What does Madam use at night?"
Shen Jin opened his mouth and said, "I'm afraid the mansion is not well prepared, and it's not fresh to buy vegetables at this hour, so just do whatever you want."
"Yes." An Tao respectfully replied.
Shen Jin looked at An Ning and said, "Don't let those people approach my yard."
An Ning said, "Madam, don't worry."
Shen Jin responded, the bed in the house has been packed, An Yi came in and invited Shen Jin to rest, Shen Jin nodded, she was also a little tired, and just two days ago, An Yi also confirmed that Shen Jin had The matter of pregnancy, but the days are still young, and it is precisely because of this that more attention is needed.
"Let Yue Wen and the others leave early tomorrow morning." Shen Jin said with downcast eyes.
"Yes." Anyi agreed.
Shen Jin looked at An Tao and said, "Work harder, bring people to prepare more dry food for them, and An Ning will give some money to Yue Wen and the others."
"Will Madam not keep any?" An Ning asked hesitantly.
Shen Jin shook his head and said, "They have their own arrangements."
"Yes." An Ning agreed.
Shen Jin yawned and said, "If you need anything, I will arrange for those people in the house to buy it. I won't see outsiders tomorrow, so just keep what they stuffed for you."
"Yes."
Shen Jin glanced at her and said, "An Yi stays here, you all step back."
Seeing that Shen Jin had nothing else to do, An Ning took the people down first, and An Yi handed over the matter to An Yuan, and stayed by Shen Jin's side. When no one was around, Shen Jin asked Anyi to give her the He took his pulse and said, "Is the child alright?"
An Yi took the pulse carefully, and then said, "Madam still needs to take good rest these few months." Although she took care of her along the way, and Shen Jin paid attention to recuperation, she was a little unstable after all, "I will let An Tao will make some nourishing soup for Madam, Madam will use some and make some adjustments."
Shen Jin pursed her lips and nodded, without saying anything.
An Yi helped Shen Jin to lie down on the bed, and then said, "Madam, let's go to bed early."
Shen Jin responded, "Remember to tell An Ning to let Yue Wen and the others leave as soon as the city gate is opened." If they don't leave, it may be difficult to leave.
An Yi said in a respectful voice, "This servant has made a note."
