Chapter 198 The eldest daughter

In the night, only a palace lantern was lit in the corner of the wall for illumination, and the light was even weaker through the thick curtain.Huiyu doesn't like too much light at night, so only one light is left at night.At this time, with the help of the weak light, he found that Ji Qiyu's eyes were even brighter in this dim night.As bright as the stars in the sky.

"Did it bother you?" Ji Qiyu asked while sitting on the bed, looking at Huiyu.

"My heart sleeps lightly at night." Huiyu replied, looking up at him, still waiting for his answer.

Seeing Huiyu's eyes, Ji Qiyu smiled softly, pulled her into his arms and hugged her, and then said: "I just received the news that Princess Ning has given birth to a daughter, King Ning's eldest daughter."

The eldest daughter?
Huiyu slowly digested this matter. King Ning would not be so happy to have his eldest daughter, Ji Qiyu. Princess Ning must be very happy."

"Sure enough." Ji Qiyu reached out and tapped the tip of Huiyu's nose, with a slight smile on his lips.

I don't know if it's because of the light or because of her dazzled eyes, but Huiyu always feels that Ji Qiyu's smile is a bit ironic.

Seeing Huiyu in a daze, with tiredness in the corners of his eyes and brows, he said, "Go to sleep, we'll talk about things tomorrow."

Huiyu was soundly asleep when she was awakened. At this moment, Ji Qiyu became sleepy again after saying this, so she nodded and lay down to sleep, and waited until she woke up to talk about the big things.One more thing came to mind before going to sleep, that is, Dong Wan would definitely be crazy with joy when she heard the news, and the Elder Master and Elder Madam would also be crazy with joy.

It is indeed good news.

Seeing that Huiyu fell asleep almost as soon as she touched the pillow, Ji Qiyu tucked in the quilt for her, and sat in the night listening to Huiyu's shallow breathing and fell into deep thought.The palace was not peaceful that day. Concubine Ning had an accident and gave birth prematurely, Xia Zhaoyi was seriously ill and fell into a coma, and the queen empress presided over the overall situation. In this way, several servants were pulled out and beaten. I'm afraid these servants are dead.

It's such a coincidence that the coincidence is like a well-arranged drama.

He couldn't find out more information, many people were locked up in the palace, and there was a lot of turmoil. At this juncture, he couldn't take the risk of inquiring, otherwise, if he made a wrong move, he would be in a deep abyss.

He didn't let Huiyu bother to think about it, but he couldn't think about it himself.

Xia Zhaoyi has always been in good health, how can it be said that she fell down so quickly when she was seriously ill?
There was no conclusion to the matter, Ji Qiyu lay down and fell asleep a little upset, I'm afraid that this period of time will be uneasy again, it's really unlucky to celebrate Chinese New Year.

In his opinion, King Ning's family is not a good thing, but they have caused trouble for others.

Liuyun Hall, side hall.

Xia Bingyu opened her eyes and looked up at the bed curtain. The lotus-colored curtain was embroidered with twig patterns, and the colorful silk thread was particularly dazzling in her eyes at this moment.

Tears flowed down the corners of her eyes silently. Daughter, after giving birth to a daughter, she felt so sad that she wanted to cry a lot.

This is the palace, not Prince Ning's mansion, she heard the sound of footsteps outside, she quickly wiped the corners of her eyes and closed them to fall asleep.Hearing the person coming in with light footsteps, the familiar sound of footsteps made Xia Bingyu's tense nerves relax, and she opened her eyes involuntarily.

Ji Fuyan looked at Xia Bingyu and hurriedly asked, "How do you feel now, is there anything uncomfortable?"

Xia Bingyu shook her head, "No, the lord is worried, it's all the concubine's fault." In fact, she is sore all over at the moment, because it was an accidental premature birth, and her stomach is still a little sore, but can she complain, the concubine is still there How could she cry out in danger? "Is the concubine mother awake? What did the imperial doctor say? Is there any serious problem?"

Hearing his wife wake up and ask this first, Ji Fuyan's expression softened slightly, and then he said: "The imperial doctor has used medicine, and the mother and concubine are still awake, but the condition has stabilized, so don't worry."

Only then did Xia Bingyu breathe a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good, mother concubine Fu Ze Shenhou will definitely get better."

"You rest for a while and don't talk, the imperial doctor said you need to rest more." Sitting on the brocade stool, Ji Fuyan held Xia Bingyu's hand and said, looking at her, he said softly: "I went to see the child, there is a nanny to look after her It's all good."

Xia Bingyu felt sore when she heard that, and couldn't help choking up when she saw him: "I'm sorry for her, but she was born before the day, I only hope that she can be healthy and smooth, and I can feel at ease. "Don't mention Dong Wan a word. At this time, she will not take the initiative to mention her. The more you don't mention her, the prince will become more suspicious. She will not take advantage of her.

"Master's children are naturally good, don't talk nonsense." Ji Fuyan touched Xia Bingyu's forehead, "Go to sleep for a while, and when you wake up and feel refreshed, I'll bring my daughter over to show you."

Xia Bingyu was extremely exhausted, she closed her eyes when she heard this, she really needed to sleep well, there were more important things to do, she had to recover first.

Empress Empress just left Liuyun Palace, this matter has alarmed the emperor, she has to go to the emperor to explain the matter again, so she left in a hurry.As soon as the Empress left, the Liuyun Hall suddenly became quiet again, and occasionally the little Princess could be heard crying like a meowing cat.The voice was so soft that Ji Fuyan's eyes were red when he heard it through the window.Children with congenital deficiencies are born with very weak crying.Jia Ge'er was born prematurely when she landed, and her crying was also weak, but compared with him, his daughter's crying was even weaker, which made him upset and depressed for a while.

Thinking of this, he strode towards the row of inverted rooms behind the side hall, stood in front of one of the doors, and kicked the door open.

When Dong Wan heard the loud knock on the door, she slowly raised her head without changing her expression, and her eyes met Ji Fuyan's scarlet and angry pupils.As if the whole world was quiet at this moment, she smiled calmly, "The prince has finally come, and I thought I would never see him again in this life, so I was sent on the road."

This is said so plainly, as if life and death are just a matter of the touch of the upper and lower lips, so light and light it makes people feel hairy all over.

Ji Fuyan's anger seemed to be blocked back in a soft voice, but he still looked at her and asked word by word: "What else do you have to say?"

Dong Wan looked at the man's expression of enduring pain, and saw that it took only a day for his handsome face to be covered with a layer of haze. In just one day, he was so emaciated for the sake of Princess Ning. She was indeed a childhood sweetheart, and her love was better than that of a childhood sweetheart. deep sea.

"Hehe." Dong Wan smiled, "Since the lord has already convicted me, I have nothing to say. People in this world would rather believe their own eyes than their own ears. I just feel sorry for my Jia. Brother, I don't know if I can grow up well without my mother to protect me from now on."

Ji Fuyan's brows were almost congealed into a pimple, and she stared at Dong Wan, "You...you don't think you did anything wrong?" He pushed the princess with his own hands, which caused the princess to give birth prematurely. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she couldn't tolerate her sophistry. ?

"I did something wrong. I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and unprepared. When the princess told me that her mother was dying, I should have entered the palace to fulfill my filial piety. I shouldn't have softened my heart when I saw the princess puffing her belly out in front of me and weeping sadly. I shouldn't have thought about getting along with her and took a step back. So I don't blame others for this situation, I just blame myself." Dong Wan stretched out her hand to straighten her clothes, watching Ji Fuyan want to speak, she rushed to speak before him. Said: "I know the lord hates me at this moment, wishing to cut me alive, wishing to tear me into pieces. But..." Dong Wan stretched out her hand to touch her belly, bowed her head and smiled softly, " I already have a son, and now I have another in my belly, why would I harm the princess at this time? Even if I don't care about my own life, I have to take care of this in my belly."

Ji Fuyan was stunned, and his eyes fell on Dong Wan's abdomen, and he was stunned for a moment.

Dong Wan is pregnant again and has his child in her stomach.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Ji Fuyan asked.

Dong Wan lowered her head, "Brother Jia was born prematurely for no reason, and then the carriage overturned and almost killed her. This is not over three months old in my stomach, and I dare not publicize myself."

Ji Fuyan was choked back at all the words, "You really didn't harm the princess?" In the end, she could only grit her teeth and ask.

"No!" Dong Wan replied resolutely, "At that time, the princess was talking to me in a low voice, and I could only follow her to listen. When I was at the corner, the princess suddenly swayed, and the concubine went to help me subconsciously. Unexpectedly, it was said that I pushed the princess and caused her to fall. At that time, I had no one by myself, and no one could prove my innocence. And this little one, even if it's for the sake of accumulating blessings for the child, I wouldn't do such a thing. The concubine is thin and has a big belly, which is extraordinarily scary to look at, and I don't have such a vicious heart to do such things at a time like this. "When I said that, my face was full of tears, "When I was pregnant with Brother Jia, I was sorry for this child, let him come to this world early, and took a few years to raise his body. I dare not Make a statement, hide it, hide it, just hope he can be well. The prince doesn't even think about it, if I really dare to do this kind of thing in the palace, how can I be willing if there is an accident in my stomach? "

Ji Fuyan stared at Dong Wan, only to see that her pale face was full of tears, and there was a bit of blue in her pale complexion.If Dong Wan really had bad intentions and dared to kill Princess Ning in the palace, with so many people watching at that time, she would definitely be taken away and imprisoned for trial immediately.When everyone was pushing and shoving, how would Dong Wan know if the child in her womb was safe or not?

Regardless of other things, Dong Wan is indeed very careful in treating the child. Although Jia Geer was born prematurely, she has taken good care of her for the past few years and has become much stronger...

"Sit down first, take care of the baby in your belly anyway." Ji Fuyan walked over slowly, looked at Dong Wan and said, wanting to reach out to help her, but in the end he couldn't reach out.

Some doubts are planted in my heart, and they cannot be dispelled in a short while.

Dong Wan shook her head and wept, "Without this child, even if the concubine died, she would not be able to defend herself. The prince doubted me, and the concubine would really be worse than death. If I had known this, I would have been hit to death by that carriage in the first place." Alright, save me from being tortured today."

"Nonsense!" Ji Fuyan was really angry this time, and couldn't help scolding.

Dong Wan covered her face and wept, "During the days of worrying, when will I be able to become a leader, what did I do wrong, one by one, I will never die and never give up, is it because I gave birth to the eldest son Jia Geer Is it?"

Hearing Dong Wan's sad and heartbroken sobs, Ji Fuyan felt for the first time that this day was so difficult.

"Dong side concubine is pregnant?" Hui Yu was so shocked by the news that she lost seven souls. Looking at Ji Qiyu who was eating noodles with a calm expression on the opposite side, she swallowed the words back to her heart.

Dong Wan's pregnancy is really good, no matter whether Xia Bingyu did it or not, at least no one will touch her now, life is saved.

But why does Huiyu want to sneer right now?

It has to be said that the wives and concubines war in Prince Ning's Mansion really broke Huiyu's bottom line, and it was even more exciting than spy movies.

Sure enough, it is indeed the backyard of the hero in the original text. The degree of splendor is really admirable.

It wasn't until this moment that Huiyu realized belatedly that what Ji Qiyu said was true at all, she really underestimated Dong Wan, maybe she was confused by Dong Wan's weak appearance from the beginning to the end.After all, no matter what, Xia Bingyu gave birth prematurely, but whether Dong Wan committed murder or not, she has a child in her belly who will protect her.

Thinking of this, Huiyu felt very sad. Who can blame this?It's not her own fault!

When Ji Qiyu heard Huiyu call Dong Wan the side concubine Dong, she knew that she had figured out something, and this time she really felt relieved.Looking at her appearance at this time, he said: "You think that everyone else is like you, and they rush up in a single brain."

Hui Yumo, in fact, she is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very shrewd and knows how to plan for her own interests.It's just that when she seeks benefits, she is always soft-hearted towards her own people.Dong Wan was in the ranks of her own people before, so no matter what she did, Hui Yu would never really give up.But now, Huiyu knew that she and Dong Wan had gone on two completely different paths.

Dong Wan had a side character poked on top of her head, this was her fate, if she didn't accept her fate, she had no choice but to fight for it.

"It won't happen in the future." Hui Yu solemnly promised, looking at Ji Qiyu and said word by word: "I will only be nice to my own people, and I don't care about outsiders."

Ji Qiyu just laughed, she really liked Huiyu's distinction between insiders and outsiders so clearly, put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and then said: "If you think so, I don't have to worry about you being cheated all day long." go."

"Am I that stupid?"

"Have!"

Do you want to be so sure?Hui Yu 囧.

Huiyu doesn't want to know the answer to this matter, whether it's Xia Bingyu or Dong Wan, it's all up to her own luck.

Huiyu shook her head and threw away these annoying things, and concentrated on eating the noodles in the bowl. The stewed beef was very tasty, and she could eat half a bowl with the noodles.After eating, people moved away, cleared the table, and then asked: "Is there any news from Xia Zhaoyi?" She is more concerned about Xia Yingbai now, and she doesn't know what's going on.She always felt that Xia Zhaoyi's critical illness was a bit pervasive, and she didn't know if it was true or not, but with an imperial doctor's pulse diagnosis, it should not be easy to fake it.

After all, there is still the queen sitting in charge, the queen... Thinking of the queen's methods, this is not a person who is easy to fool.

"I heard that her condition is stable, but she hasn't woken up yet." Ji Qiyu said lightly, but she really didn't want to mention this, so she patiently told Huiyu and said, "The palace has settled down. There are many banquets in the palace, and you take care of yourself when I'm not at home. I left Miao Rongguang in the front yard, and you can ask him to give me a message if you have something important."

"It's okay, I'm not going out of the mansion, nothing will happen. I think that I won't let the two side concubines and concubines come during the Chinese New Year, and just reward two tables of noodles for them to eat by themselves." Hui Hui Yu didn't want to pretend to be virtuous at this time, and then be as unlucky as Xia Bingyu, and the children in her stomach would suffer accordingly.It's better to be on the safe side, and Ji Qiyu will definitely think that this idea is a good one. It saves trouble and can see people who are intrusive. The key is to be clean.

Sure enough, Ji Qiyu nodded very satisfied, "That's good, um, I'll give them another face to comfort people's hearts, so you don't have to worry about it."

Soon Huiyu knew what this other face was. Ji Qiyu rewarded the two side concubines and concubines with some clothes and jewelry. Although she rewarded things, she didn't see them.Huiyu smiled smugly, if rewarding something can calm people's grievances and keep herself safe, she would like him to reward her.

Two days later, Huiyu heard the news that both Concubine Yang and Concubine Wei's natal families were used by Ji Qiyu, not the Concubine's father, but their elder brother, the eldest son of the two families. .

After Xueying heard the news, she hurriedly reported it to the princess, feeling a little uneasy.What if the elder brothers of the two side concubines have great promise in the future?This is really not good news.What if in the future, in order to stabilize the natal families of the two side concubines, the prince will value the two side concubines again?
Huiyu didn't feel sad when she heard the news, but a feeling of embarrassment floated in her heart.

Xueqi looked at Wangfei and then at Xueying, feeling extremely anxious, but she dared not say anything on the face.Xue Ying didn't dare to say much at this time, but looking at Wang Hao's appearance, it seemed that this was not a big deal.

That's what Huiyu thought. The Yang family, the Wei family and Prince Jing were married, and the ultimate purpose of sending their daughter to the palace was to hope that the daughter would be favored, and then the two families could be reused in front of the prince.In the past, Ji Qiyu didn't have much face in front of the emperor, and even good errands were not his turn.But in the past few years, it has been the salt business first, and now there is the sea transportation. Although Prince Jing is not favored yet, it is obvious that the emperor can still reuse him.Under reuse, there must be benefits, how could the Wei and Yang families not rely on it.

The reason why the Wei family got closer to Prince Ning's mansion before was only because Concubine Wei was not liked by the prince, so they found another way out and stepped on two boats.Ji Qiyu is a vengeful person, so naturally he made a note for the Wei family.But now that she is pregnant, in order to prevent Wei Yang's two side concubines from attacking her and have bad intentions, Ji Qiyu simply uses Wei Yang's family.But before the Wei family had two boats, Ji Qiyu was not happy, and naturally he was unwilling to employ people so happily, so he couldn't breathe, and didn't want Huiyu to be uneasy, so he simply hired the eldest son of the two families.The eldest son is born again, and will definitely be the leader of the family in the future, and at this time, the two eldest sons are not very old, even if it takes a few years, they will not be able to work out.The fathers and lords of the two families don’t use it, it’s a warning to them, but they use their sons again, it’s also a signal, you are my people, just wait for the king to use you, and won’t abandon you No need.

Now that the sons of the two families started working with Prince Jing, the purpose of sending their daughter to the palace was achieved, so they didn't dare to ask more questions about their daughter's life in the palace.

Ji Qiyu's move was tantamount to cutting off the support of the two side concubines.

It's accurate and ruthless.

Huiyu was both happy and apprehensive, this man is too powerful, it's okay to be good for the rest of his life, if one day the two of them fall out, Huiyu feels that she can beat him after all.

This answer is so sad.

Ji Qiyu hurriedly returned to the backyard after finishing her work in the front yard.The weather is fine today, the sun is shining warmly, Huiyu is holding the girl's hand and walking around in the yard to bask in the sun, seeing Ji Qiyu walk in, all the girls and women in the yard knelt down like holding candles, Huiyu Yu smiled and took two steps forward, "Why are you back at this time, but you have something to do?" Tomorrow will be New Year's Eve, and as a prince, he naturally has a lot of things to do.

Ji Qiyu took a look at Huiyu's ruddy complexion, and she was in good spirits, so she nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's nothing serious, I just came to see you."

The two helped each other into the room, only then did the people in the yard dare to get up, Xue Qixueying hurried to make tea, and the rest of the people didn't dare to make any noise in the yard and retreated quietly.

The two sat opposite each other, Ji Qiyu hesitated and said the matter, and then looked at Huiyu, afraid that she would not understand and get angry.

Huiyu looked at Ji Qiyu's face as if he was facing a big enemy, she was so heartwarming and funny, leaned into his arms next to him, and said sweetly: "I understand, you don't need to explain to me, I know you are doing it for me." Well, after all this trouble, I really don’t know what to say.”

Ji Qiyu breathed a long sigh of relief, the smile on her face was a bit real, she could understand his painstaking efforts, his hard work was not in vain, it was worth it.

"Rather than make you be on guard day and night and restless, I would rather cut their backs." Ji Qiyu didn't mean to be tender when she said this, it was purely as a job.With the stalls in Prince Ning's Mansion as a wake-up call, he dared not underestimate these women at all.Rather than guarding against it day and night, it is better to settle it cleanly.

Of course, it can't be said that this is really completely at ease, but with this experience, plus Nanny You, it should be safe.

Huiyu thought, this cliff is true love, right?
It's not true love, how can he think so much and do so much for himself?

Huiyu told herself that this is true love.

"I know, you treat me well, I understand." Huiyu is really powerless to guard against others with her belly upright now, her belly is getting bigger and bigger, her energy is getting shorter and shorter, and she also feels very tired. It is really considerate of Ji Qiyu to do so much for her.

Ji Qiyu patted her on the shoulder, "It's enough that you can understand my painstaking efforts, as long as you can leave your child safely, it will be the greatest joy."

"Do you like a son or a daughter?" Hui Yu looked at him and asked, most people are patriarchal, I just don't know which Ji Qiyu likes more.What if you like a son and give birth to a daughter yourself?
Hearing this, Ji Qiyu looked down at Huiyu, only to find that she hid her head in his arms to prevent him from looking at her. She couldn't laugh or cry, "My son and daughter are mine, everything is fine."

"Really?"

"Of course, the master's child is the daughter, who is also Jin Zunyugui's princess."

Huiyu was really relieved, and everyone said that she is a sour and spicy girl. Her taste is too spicy.Now that she got Ji Qiyu's guarantee, she was really relieved.She herself likes her daughter, but she just feels that it is sad to have a daughter in such an era, and it is a pit on the cliff.

Ji Qiyu didn't expect that Huiyu would feel uneasy because of such a thing, she just thought it was a little funny, she didn't know why she would think so.What's the matter with having a daughter, it's not that there will be no more children in the future, there will always be a son.
