Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 252

In the early morning of the fourth day of the lunar new year, Lu Xinyan took Yao Xueqingtong to the Guangping Marquis Mansion. She was going to take Azhu with her, but Azhu was very strange. Just want to rest.

Lu Xinyan asked her if she needed to see a doctor, but Ah Zhu immediately refused, saying that she just wanted to sleep and was fine.

Lu Xinyan guessed that at Ah Zhu's age, she might be about to have her period, so she was tired for no reason, so she pursed her lips and smiled, "It seems that Ah Zhu is going to grow up."

"What do you mean?" Azhu asked puzzled.

"It means that after two years, you can be a human being."

Azhu sneered disdainfully, turned her back to her, "Sister, let's go, don't be late."

Lu Xinyan patted her butt through the quilt, "Okay, I'm leaving, if you feel uncomfortable, ask Xing Luo to get a doctor."

Azhu blushed with shame, turned her head and glared at Lu Xinyan, and watched her leave with a big laugh.

"Really, shameless." Ah Zhu said in a low voice, and lazily lay back on the bed.

Guangping Marquis Mansion.

Gong Xiaodong and Gong Mei supported Feng Shi and stood at the door waiting, followed by Nanny Sun and several servants.

"grandmother."

"Beads."

Feng Shi and Lu Xinyan haven't seen each other for nearly two months, when Lu Xinyan got off the carriage, the two embraced happily.

"Thinner, thinner again." Feng touched her face lovingly, "Is it too hard on the road? You should stay at home for two days before coming back. Grandma can come here anytime."

"Zhuzhu misses grandma..."

"Grandmother, you didn't mean it. You were talking about why you haven't come yet, but now you're telling Sister Lu not to rush over here." Gong Xiaodong made a grimace, seeing Lu Xinyan looking at her, pulled Gong Qian to salute with a smile, " Hello, Sister Lu."

"Be good, Xiaodong, be good, Seventh Sister." Lu Xinyan pulled Yao Xue from behind, "This is your sister Xue, Axue, this is your grandmother, this is Xiaodong, Seventh Sister, Gong Qian."

Yao Xue said, "I've met grandmother, younger sister Xiaodong, and younger sister Seven."

Gong Xiaodong asked curiously: "Sister Xue, why are you wearing a veil?"

Feng Shi also felt strange, but what she was surprised about was who this Ashe was.

Lu Xinyan said: "Grandmother, go in and Zhuzhu will tell you slowly."

She didn't want to tell others about Yao Xue's matter for the time being, but she didn't want to hide it from Feng Shi. After all, the matter was finally resolved peacefully back then, and Feng Shi also contributed a lot in secret.

Several people walked towards the Fushouyuan, but Lu Xinyan didn't see Yun Shi, and asked, "Auntie is going to give birth?"

Speaking of this, Feng smiled brightly, "Yes, it's only been a few days. She was so heavy that she couldn't move. Originally, she insisted on coming out to meet you, but grandma asked her to stay in the house to avoid any accidents."

"Grandmother did the right thing, etiquette is not as important as her own body and children."

Grandma Sun interjected, "Princess, there is another great event that you don't know about."

"What great event?"

"I know, I know!" Gong Xiaodong hurriedly said, "Fourth Aunt is going to have a baby!"

Lu Xinyan opened her mouth wide in shock, "Is Fourth Aunt pregnant?"

Li Yu's speed is not bad, what a hard worker!We got married in less than two months.

"That's right." Feng smiled and closed her mouth, "I just found out yesterday, and it's been more than a month. My mother-in-law was so happy that she wasn't allowed to go out, so she didn't come today."

"That's great! Mrs. Li wants to hug her grandson wholeheartedly, and the fourth aunt will have one as soon as she enters the door. Mrs. Li will definitely regard her as a treasure in the future!"

"The mother-in-law just had a mouth. Before, my grandmother was worried that Jin'er would be bullied when she came in, but every time she came back with a radiant face, she seemed to be living very comfortably. When my grandmother asked her how the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was, she said it was fine. Don't worry grandma! At that time, grandma was thinking whether Jin'er would bury her grievances in her stomach, fearing that her son-in-law would be caught in the middle and it would be difficult to be a man!

But as soon as the pregnancy was found out yesterday, the mother-in-law immediately sent someone to send the news, and also asked the close-knit nurse to bring a word, saying that she would like to have a baby and a daughter, and would not cause trouble for the young couple.That meant that Jin'er should not be burdened by the single inheritance of the Li family, let alone give her son Zhang Luo's concubine just because she was pregnant.Grandma felt relieved after hearing this.Living under the same roof, it is impossible to say that there is no conflict at all, but as long as the major issues are clear, and the juniors are a little softer on small matters, those small conflicts will pass over time. "

Gong Jin is living a happy life, and Lu Xinyan is happy for her, "Congratulations to grandma, congratulations to grandma, I will be able to have my grandson next year!"

"You are going to get married in a few days, and you have to work harder to be like Jin'er. Good news will come in two months! Grandma finishes hugging her grandson, grandson, and great-grandson!"

Lu Xinyan hesitated, "Then grandma needs to take good care of her, you have thin arms and legs, Zhuzhu is afraid that you will be choking on your grandson."

Nanny Sun secretly laughed at the side: "Princess, you don't know, the old lady is exercising morning and evening these days, just to hold her grandson."

"Really?" Lu Xinyan didn't expect Feng Shi to become cuter with age.

Feng's old face was a little uncomfortable, "Aying, no one will think you are dumb if you don't speak."

Sun Nanny quickly slapped her mouth lightly, "Oh, I'm old, and I've been despised by others."

A group of people laughed together, and arrived at Fushouyuan while talking and laughing.

Yunshi was lying on the couch with a belly as big as a ball, seeing Lu Xinyan struggling to sit up, "Zhuzhu."

Lu Xinyan looked terrified, "Auntie, don't move! Lie down!"

Fengshi and Sun Nanny hurried forward and pushed Yunshi back, "Okay, Zhuzhu is not an outsider, so I won't blame you."

Yun's temper was straightforward, and he smiled, "Then I won't be polite."

A few people chatted for a while, after Lu Xinyan divided the presents, Feng Shi separated Gong Xiaodong and Gong Jin.

The two surrounded Yao Xue earlier, the mischievous Gong Xiaodong had been wanting to secretly see Yao Xue's true face, seeing that the adults had something to say, he had to leave disappointed.

After they left, Yao Xue took off her veil, and Feng Shi was shocked.

Long Xin once had a good relationship with Lin Ruyue, Feng Shi naturally met her, "Zhuzhu, she is..."

"She is Yao Xue, the daughter of her adoptive father and adoptive mother who have been missing for seven years." Lu Xinyan said: "She suffered a head injury back then, so I don't remember the past."

"How is that possible?" Feng muttered to himself, and glanced at Yun. Yun had never seen Longxin, but she had heard the news, so she also glanced at Feng, and the two exchanged glances tacitly.

"Zhuzhu, does your stepmother know?" Feng asked tentatively.

"As soon as I came back yesterday, I took Axue to Yao's Mansion. The people in Yao's Mansion said that the adoptive mother had gone to relatives. I thought I would go and see it on the sixth day."

Feng was silent for a while, "Zhu Zhu, don't worry about this matter, the Yao Mansion can't escape there, it won't be too late to go after getting married."

"Grandmother, what do you mean?" Lu Xinyan felt that she was hiding something from her.

"You go out for two months. Although someone will arrange the dowry for you, you can't be a hands-off shopkeeper, can you? You can't sew the wedding dress yourself. It's okay to sew two stitches, but Xiao Shizi's underwear and the like , this can’t be done for you, can it?”

Uh... Xiao Shizi's underwear, let others do it...

Of course not!

"Grandmother reminded me that I'll let someone inquire about my adoptive mother. When she comes back, I'll take Axue there, so that Axue won't follow her for nothing."

Feng Shi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "That's right."

She beckoned, "Come on, Axue, sit by grandma's side."

Yao Xue sat over, her smiling eyes were crooked, she was good-looking and cute, her eyes were black and bright, she looked like a pure and kind child, Feng was delighted when she saw it, "She is a good child. "

"Grandmother, I brought a little girl back. Her name is A Zhu. She is a bit uncomfortable today, so I didn't bring her here. You will be happy to see her in the future."

"Then I'll bring it here next time and have a good look at it." Feng said with a smile, "Is there anything interesting about going to Jianglin this time? Let me tell you, grandma, how is your grandparent's family?"

Lu Xinyan told Feng's family exactly what happened to Jiang Lin, and briefly mentioned the dangerous things that happened to her.

There have been a lot of gossip about Jiang Lin in the capital, and the Feng family has heard it for a long time. Now that Lu Xinyan told it from beginning to end, he was secretly shocked, "I didn't expect the eldest princess to be so strong, but it's a pity that Mo Bai is so strong." The child is gone, the second prince..." Isn't it very dangerous?

The Tian family has no family ties. Although Wu Zhe is the son of Emperor Longde's direct relatives, no emperor can tolerate him raising his own soldiers for rebellion!Once convicted, the title will be taken away at the slightest, and your life will be lost at the worst.

It is a serious crime to privately discuss the affairs of the Tian family, and Feng Shi dare not say the following words, but she believes that Lu Xinyan understands.

Lu Xinyan nodded, "Grandmother is right."

Feng said: "To tell you the truth, Xuan'er came to ask my grandmother yesterday. The implication was that she hoped that my grandmother would intercede to save Aunt Gong's life. My grandmother didn't know how to answer him. How could my grandmother be so serious about such a big matter?" face?"

Lu Xinyan said meaningfully: "The emperor will have his own rules."

Feng Shi was startled, and was about to ask for clarification, when Yun Shi who was on the couch suddenly moaned, Feng Shi suddenly became nervous, "Daughter-in-law, what's the matter with you?"

Yun's complexion turned pale, and he gasped for breath, "Aniang, the little bastard in my belly must have seen Zhuzhu and Axue coming, and is anxious to see the beauty."

Lu Xinyan and Yao Xue were so nervous when they saw Yun's appearance, but they burst out laughing when they heard this, this aunt is really interesting!
"Slave to find someone." Nanny Sun immediately left to find someone.

The midwife's delivery room in the mansion has been prepared a long time ago, and now that Yun's sudden attack, he will not be in a mess.

"You, you, how could you say that about your own child?" Feng gave her a blank look, "Stop talking, save some energy, you will be able to use your energy later."

"Aniang, don't worry, my daughter-in-law has already given birth to four. To put it bluntly, the birth of the baby is as smooth as squatting in a hut, and it came out with a little effort. The daughter-in-law has nothing else, but she still has strength... Ouch, you little bastard, what are you doing in such a hurry, it hurts me to death!"

Feng couldn't laugh or cry, afraid of scaring Lu Xinyan and Yao Xue, "Zhuzhu, take Axue to the mansion for a stroll. There is grandma here. When the child comes out, grandma will send someone to call you."

Lu Xinyan and Yao Xue had never seen a child with their own eyes, so they were afraid and curious, and they didn't want to leave, so they were driven away by Feng Shi.

The two of them didn't go far, watching Yun Shi being helped to the delivery room, and then quietly following behind to wander around the delivery room, when they heard Yun's screaming and muffled moaning, their hearts jumped in fright.

In this backward ancient times, giving birth to a woman was equivalent to stepping half a foot into the gate of hell.

Half an hour later, Gong Yuancheng stumbled back and ran back, "My lady, my lady, I'm outside, don't be afraid."

Yun Shi was screaming at first, but when she heard Gong Yuancheng's voice, she didn't know whether she was afraid of frightening her husband who was not in good health, or she had some peace of mind. For the next half hour, she didn't say a word, only hearing the midwife crying Stop saying, "Hit hard, come out soon!"

Yao Xue clutched her thumping chest, "Sister, didn't Auntie say that having a baby is like squatting in a hut? She came out as soon as she exerted her strength. Why hasn't it been born for so long?"

Lu Xinyan was also a little worried, Bai Zhi was not here, in case something happened...

Bah, bah, bah, some people give birth for a few days and nights, and now it's only an hour or so, so don't think about anything unlucky.

"It's okay, Axue, it's like this, not so fast." She pretended to be calm.

Yao Xue blinked, "Sister, you speak like you were born."

Lu Xinyan coughed, "I've never eaten pork, but I've always seen pigs walking."

Pig, give birth?Yao Xue was silent for a while, "...it seems...it makes sense."

The two were talking nonsense here, and there was a clear cry from the delivery room.

gave birth!

The two were overjoyed, and hurriedly walked towards the delivery room, wanting to ask if it was a boy or a girl.

Before it arrived, Yun's weak voice came out, "I always thought it was a little bastard, but I didn't expect it to be a girl. I gave birth to five, and the hardest one is you. I wanted to beat you once you were born." Dun, for the sake of being a girl, forget it."

At this time, the midwife opened the door and said with a smile: "Congratulations, old lady, congratulations, Lord Hou, you are a young lady."

"Good! There is a reward!" Yun's family has already given birth to three boys and one girl, and it doesn't matter if the rebirth is a boy or a girl. Feng's was overjoyed, and Gong Yuancheng had already rushed in, "Miss, thank you for your hard work."

Yun's voice said softly: "It's not hard, did you scare my husband just now?"

When Lu Xinyan walked to the door and heard this sentence, she couldn't help but sigh, Yun Shi seemed to be a hot-tempered person, but she didn't expect to have such a gentle side.

It seems that these two couples are really loving, otherwise they wouldn't have given birth to one child after another.

Feng Shi looked at the tender and affectionate couple beside the bed, hissed, and asked the midwife to take the child to the next door, she also took Lu Xinyan and Yao Xue away, and gave the space to Gong Yuancheng and Yun Shi.

Grandma Sun ordered her servants to cook the red eggs and report the good news to relatives.

Lu Xinyan said: "Grandmother, I'm going to see my fourth aunt, I'll take this red egg."

Yun's family gave birth suddenly, and there were a lot of troubles in the house, so Feng's family didn't want to keep her, "Then you go, don't come on the third day of the seventh day, just let Qingtong come over."

"We'll talk about that day." Lu Xinyan knew that Feng wanted her to focus on getting married on the eighth day of the lunar new year, but she still didn't agree.

In the general's mansion, Li Yu smiled like a fool, and put his head on Gong Jin's stomach, "A Jin, why is our child not moving?"

Gong Jin snorted, "It's only been over a month, and Auntie said at least four months."

"It will take so long." Li Yu was a little disappointed.

Gong Jin rolled his eyes at him, "How can it be so easy to conceive in October?"

"Yes, yes, Ah Jin is right." Li Yu said with a playful smile.

Qiuhua opened the curtain and came in, and said with a smile: "Miss, uncle, guess who is here?"

Gong Jin hurriedly pushed Li Yu away and sat up, "Who is here, so mysterious?"

"Fourth aunt! Fourth uncle!" Lu Xinyan suddenly poked her head out from behind Qiuhua.

Gong Jin opened her mouth wide in shock, and then almost jumped up, so scared that Li Yu quickly hugged her, "Ah Jin, child, child."

Lu Xinyan was taken aback by her actions, and hurried over, "Fourth Aunt, you used to be a very stable person, how did you live longer and come back after getting married and pregnant?"

"You didn't scare me deliberately first! You didn't tell me in advance, and you deliberately hid to scare me when you came." Gong Jin pretended to complain, took her hand, looked her up, down, left, and right, and said with a smile: "It's still the old Zhuzhu, it hasn't changed at all, that's great."

Lu Xinyan smiled and said, "Fourth Aunt, I also brought some good news."

Gong Jin wondered, "Is there any other good news?"

Lu Xinyan pointed to the red egg in Qiushuang's hand, Gong Jin stared wide-eyed, "Who has a baby?"

Lu Xinyan chuckled, "Fourth Aunt, I told you that the more you lived, the more you went back, but you still don't believe me."

Gong Jin blinked, not daring to say anything: "You said sister-in-law gave birth?"

"Who else but auntie?"

"Boys and girls?"

"Girl."

"Hello girl, caring." Gong Jin walked up and down excitedly, "No, I have to go home."

"A Jin!" Li Yu kept staring at her, feeling extremely nervous watching her move around, "Ah Niang said, before the child is born, you will not be allowed to go out!"

Gong Jin rolled his eyes at him, "I know that Aunt is nervous, but Aunt just said that it is impossible for me to go out. The doctor said that I am in good health, and I will move around more in the future."

Li Yu said with a bitter face, "Ah Jin, you feel sorry for your husband-in-law and me. If you go out, Auntie won't say anything about you, but she will beat me to death!"

It seems that Li Yu's status has dropped very quickly, Lu Xinyan laughed, "Fourth Aunt, my aunt just gave birth, and the family is very busy, and you can't help when you are pregnant, and grandma will distract you , wait for three washes before going."

Gong Jin calmed down, "Zhuzhu is right, I'll go and tell Auntie first, and I'll go with her on the third day of the bath."

Looking at the tense Li Yu and the happy Lu Xinyan, regarding the matter of Jiang Lin and Gongsun Mobai, Lu Xinyan thought about it and swallowed it back.

Li Yu was Gongsun Mobai's cousin, and Gong Jin and him were in a dilemma when he said it.

She didn't say anything about Yao Xue. When she came here before, she asked Yao Xue to stay in the carriage, and she said that there were too many things involved, so she didn't say anything at all.

After a few people talked for a while, Lu Xinyan said goodbye and left.

-

The fifth day of May, the Dragon Boat Festival.

The news of the emperor's illness was suppressed, and not many people knew about it. In order to avoid unreasonable suspicion, the banquet that should be held in the palace had to be held as normal.

The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival. On this day, some royal relatives, court officials and their family members will be entertained in the palace.

The palace was decorated in a festive atmosphere early in the morning, with images related to zongzi painted on the palace lanterns, and exquisite and small zongzi were placed on every palace and hall, and the fragrance of zongzi leaves was everywhere.

Lu Xinyan only brought Qingtong to come, Xiao He tactfully didn't say that she would come, and Lu Xinyan didn't mention that the eldest prince Wu Yuan would definitely go to the palace for a banquet, she didn't want them to run into each other.

"Sister Zhuzhu!" As soon as I walked to the entrance of the Longevity Palace, I heard a clear and pleasant cry, a blue figure rushed over like a bird flying, and hugged Lu Xinyan vigorously, "You are back, I miss is you!"

"Qing Ruo, long time no see." Lu Xinyan hugged her and let go, "Hey, I've grown a little taller."

"That's right." Yan Qingruo shook her head triumphantly, "Although Xiaohe doesn't grow as fast as yours, I still grow."

"Did you see Xiao He? When?" How could these two people get together.

The tips of Yan Qingruo's ears turned red suddenly, feeling a little uncomfortable, "I missed you a few days ago and wanted to ask when you would come back, so I went to your house. When I saw Xiao He, I almost didn't recognize her."

Lu Xinyan glanced at her meaningfully, "I think you have other plans."

"What nonsense are you talking about? What can I plan?" Yan Qingruo quickly turned her eyes away, and pulled her inside, "Go in quickly, the Queen Mother and Cousin Chang'an must be waiting impatiently."

This is not a place to talk, Lu Xinyan let her go for now.

"Empress Dowager, Cousin Chang'an, look who is here?"

Yan Qingruo came first before anyone arrived, and when she saw many concubines and ladies in the palace looking at her together, she realized that she had forgotten that today was the Dragon Boat Festival.

She hurriedly put on a ladylike posture, and saluted Lu Xinyan in a dignified way, "I have met the Empress Dowager, all the ladies, Princess Chang'an, all the ladies..."

"Zhu Zhu, Qing Ruo, come quickly to Ai's house." The queen mother was very happy to see the two of them coming together, and Wu Zhen who was sitting beside her also had bright eyes. They are gone.

Lu Xinyan and Yan Qingruo stood on both sides of the empress dowager, the empress dowager looked left and right, smiling all over her face, "Yes, they are getting more and more fresh."

She pulled the two of them to sit down, then turned to Lu Xinyan and asked, "How about going to Jianglin this way?"

Speaking of the word Jiang Lin, the concubines and ladies all got up and said goodbye with great winking, and went to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers.

The Empress Dowager said this on purpose because she wanted to talk to Lu Xinyan, so she didn't ask Lu Xinyan to stay and asked Eunuch Lin to send her away.

Only the Empress Dowager Wu Zhen and Yan Qingruo were left in the hall. Lu Xinyan thought that Wu Zhen and Yan Qingruo would stay, she must have known about it, "Empress Dowager, Bai Zhi is on her way back."

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. The queen mother said that Jiang Lin didn't want to know about the robbing of the tribute and privately raising soldiers, and she didn't think Lu Xinyan would know. What she cared most about was whether Bai Zhi really came back.

After Lu Xinyan received Bai Zhi's letter, Xiao Yichen asked people to send the news that Bai Zhi was safe to Beijing, but the Longde Emperor Dragon Body was related to the national body, so it was important not to be careless, so the queen mother had to confirm it again.

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

"Bai Zhi's health is not good, and the road can't be fast, so I have to return around fifteen."

"The Ai family knows that the most important thing is for Mingzhi Township Jun to come back safely." The Queen Mother said: "Zhuzhu, do you think the Ai family should send someone to pick her up, the Ai family is afraid that something might happen on the way..."

Emperor Longde suddenly said that he was sick, and the queen mother had to suspect that someone was using it for the throne. She was afraid that the other party would harm Bai Zhi on the way, and Emperor Longde would be even more dangerous.

"Empress Dowager, Xiao Shizi sent someone to secretly escort him all the way. He did not take the normal official route, but to prevent someone from secretly tampering. If he goes to pick him up again, it may arouse suspicion."

"Yi Chen has considered it thoroughly." The Empress Dowager said: "The Ai family will wait."

At this time, Eunuch Lin said outside: "The empress dowager, the eldest wife of the Anle Hou family brought a group of young ladies to see her."

The queen mother frowned slightly, and Yan Qingruo said sharply, "She still has the nerve to come?"

An Lehou is Wen Ruxiang's grandfather, Yan Qingruo's tone of voice must not be referring to the wife of the eldest son, the only one in the Wen family who is familiar with them but has a bad relationship is Wen Ruxiang.

Lu Xinyan asked: "Qing Ruo, has Fourth Miss Wen bullied you these days?"

Yan Qingruo blurted out, "Which is bullying me, she is bullying..."

Wu Zhen said: "Qing Ruo, don't treat An Lehou's family like this! It's just that I stole a hairpin from you, so why keep worrying about it?"

Yan Qingruo puffed her mouth in disbelief, but said nothing.

Looking at the expressions of these people, Lu Xinyan always felt that something was hidden from her, and wanted to insinuate a few words, the queen mother said: "Eunuch Lin, let An Lehou's family go to the imperial garden first, and say that Ai's family sees a lot of people. I'm a little dizzy, take a rest, and call them over in half an hour."

"Yes, the Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager looked tired, it seemed that she was not talking casually, Lu Xinyan recalled that the Empress Dowager had been praying for blessings at Qingyan Temple for three days, and she was really tired, so she said: "Empress Dowager, Zhuzhu wants to pay a visit to Concubine Xiao Gui."

The queen mother said: "Alright, she is not feeling well, you should go and see her."

Wu Zhen followed and said: "Zhu Zhu, then you go, Qing Ruo and I will go to the Imperial Garden to wait for you. Grandmother, you have been exhausted these days, take a rest first, Chang'an and Qing Ruo will leave first."

After saying goodbye, they left the Longevity Palace together and separated.

Wu Zhen looked at the back of Lu Xinyan going away, and poked Yan Qingruo's head with a finger, "Look at you, I almost slipped my tongue just now, we agreed before, what happened in Suyifang, wait for Zhuzhu Tell her when you are married, lest she get married without peace of mind!"
