Chapter 174 174
"don't want."
On the spacious bed, Zhao Zhao put his hands behind him and leaned against the corner of the bed, shaking his head to reject the little red shirt in his mother's hand.
Song Jianing put down his clothes and said helplessly: "Then which one do you want to wear?"
Zhao Zhao aimed at her closet with big eyes.
Song Jianing carried his daughter to pick out clothes. Today, the second girl Yujie, who was born in the Rui Palace, has been around for a hundred days. Because she has no personal relationship with Princess Rui, Song Jianing just wants to sit by herself and come back after the banquet is gone. However, when her daughter heard her talking to the prince, she looked forward to going out early and still had to wear her favorite clothes that day.
After a while, Zhaozhao put on a goose yellow trouser as he wished, with a beautiful ribbon tied around his waist, and he chose it himself...
"It's so stinky." Song Jianing smiled and said that he was so stinky and beautiful as he was so young.
Zhaozhao smiled happily.
Song Jianing led his daughter out.
The second time, the Rui Palace was held for 100 days, and it was a little princess. The princes should do it. Princess Rui only invited sisters-in-law to come. Zhang was just a favored concubine and was not qualified to meet guests. Chen Xiu was the concubine Rui who was given a marriage by the emperor himself. Therefore, on such a happy day, Princess Rui also called Chen Xiu over.
Zhaozhao held his mother's hand and looked at these more eye-catching elders curiously.
"The longer Zhaozhao looks better, the better." Chen Xiu praised with a smile.
Zhaozhao liked others to praise her, so she smiled at her.
Princess Rui's eldest daughter, Sister Kang, is only a few months older than Zhaozhao. Although she is young, her concubine praises her sister but does not praise her. Sister Kang, Sister Kang, can't help but look at her mother with aggrievedness. Princess Rui hates Chen Xiu more than Zhang. Zhang is just a palace maid. There are two dynasties veterans Zhao Pu behind Chen Xiu. Zhao Pu is not the prime minister, and his prestige is still there. In addition, Chen Xiu is beautiful and seductive, and now he is the most favored woman in the royal family. He is not happy in his heart, so he naturally feels that Zhang's words and deeds are wrong everywhere.
But the prince rested in her room last night. When she remembered the prince whispering to her big things, it was the only decent thing that she, the princess, had. Princess Rui's chest was not so blocked. She was the princess, so she had to look at it longer. The prince's future was the most important. When the prince sat in that seat, she would be the number one person in the harem. No matter how much the concubines loved her, she could not surpass her. The most urgent task was that she would do her job well for the prince, and she would use it to get more favor and have a child.
"Come here and play with Sister Kang." Princess Rui called lovingly.
Zhaozhao looked at Sister Kang.
Sister Kang glanced at her, suddenly turned her head and ignored Zhao Zhao's appearance.
Zhao Zhao blinked, and suddenly heard the maid say that Princess Gong has arrived. Zhao Zhao liked Aunt Fourth, and immediately forgot her cousin. She let go of her mother's hand and ran back. She was soon picked up by Li Mulan and giggled happily. The little princess of Prince Shou's mansion has never been short of people to like.
Li Mulan was active and could not be as quiet as Song Jianing with the women as Song Jianing. After sitting for a while, she took Zhaozhao to the garden to play. Song Jianing didn't like to stay with Princess Rui, but today Princess Rui treats her, and Li Mulan goes to the garden to look ugly, so she has to send her wet nurse, Liu Xi and she takes care of her daughter, leaving only Shuang'er to serve her.
"Sister, please take Sister Kang to find Zhaozhao. Sister Kang recognizes her child. You will become familiar with Zhaozhao later." Princess Rui said to Chen Xiu with a smile.
Chen Xiu looked at Song Jianing and guessed that Princess Rui had something to say, so he agreed and led Sister Kang to the garden.
Princess Rui invited Song Jianing into the house to see Sister Yu, who had just been a hundred days old. The little girl looked very similar to Sister Kang when she was a child, but she was much fatter. She lay there with her eyes open, her eyes were black. Princess Rui picked up her daughter, patted her gently, suddenly sighed, looked up and said to Song Jianing, "I can only say something to you."
A tone of good sisters who want to talk to each other.
Song Jianing secretly admitted that when did she and Princess Rui get so close?
"Sister-in-law is worried?" Although she was puzzled, Song Jianing asked in confusion, and showed moderate concern.
Princess Rui held her daughter's little hand and smiled bitterly: "It's not for her. I've been waiting for her for ten months and I've got another daughter. You don't know why those two people laughed at me behind my back."
Song Jianing was stunned and his eyes fell on Yu Jie'er. Song Jianing, who also hoped to give birth to a son soon, could understand Princess Rui's feelings. She only had one daughter now, but fortunately, the prince did not mean to dislike her, and the prince's house did not have a concubine. Princess Rui gave birth to two daughters in a row, and the backyard was not peaceful, so the pressure could be imagined.
"Flower first and then bear fruit. Don't worry, second sister-in-law, it's definitely the next one." Song Jianing had no choice but to persuade him.
Princess Rui smiled self-deprecatingly, suddenly thought of something, raised her chin to Song Jianing's stomach, and said in confusion: "I have someone to share my favor, why haven't you moved for so long?"
Song Jianing's eyes dimmed. Since everyone was sympathetic, she had nothing to hide. She said softly: "The fate has not come yet." Last month's heat was so hot that she was a little uncomfortable. The prince asked the doctor in the mansion to take her pulse. Song Jianing took the opportunity to ask the next one. The doctor said that she had recovered well and had no problems, so it could only be attributed to fate.
Song Jianing told her mother about her thoughts. Her mother comforted her with the fruit trees in Baiguoyuan, saying that the fruit trees all came in more fruits every year. She might have been young when she was born, and her body was like a fruit tree with big fruits. She had to rest enough to bear again. Song Jianing thought it was reasonable.
She was sad, but Princess Rui gloated. The prince loved Zhang. She could only be favored three or four times a month. She was pregnant. Song Jianing was favored every night but was not pregnant for a long time. Maybe she lost her health when she was born Zhaozhao and could never get pregnant again. Such a princess who could not give birth to a child would sooner or later be disliked by men.
After all, how can men not be lustful? Song Jianing is very beautiful. Shouwang now spoils her. When he becomes tired of spoiling, he is in a hurry to have a son. The life of Shouwang's backyard is not far away.
But Princess Rui's purpose of exposing her scar was not this. Her face was filled with sorrow. She sighed in a low voice: "My sister-in-law is lucky. She has two sons in a row. You don't know. Every time I see Brother Sheng and Brother Cheng, I want to steal one as my son."
Thinking about her timid nephews, Song Jianing smiled, she also liked the two young men.
Since the topic naturally turned to the Chu Palace, Princess Rui asked more: "The father asked Your Highness to take care of her illness, but we didn't dare to disturb her. How has Your Highness recovered? After being sick for so long, my sister-in-law still had to take care of her children, which is really heartbreaking."
When talking, Princess Rui was full of concern, but she was quietly sweating in her heart. I wonder if she could make a speech from Song Jianing. The King of Chu was crazy, and her prince naturally became the first among the princes. The prince was in a breeze and Princess Rui was also refreshed. Unexpectedly, the morning court a few days ago, the emperor announced that the King of Chu was about to recover from the serious illness and pardoned the world. The incident suddenly arose. She and the prince were confused and wanted to visit him. The Prince of Chu continued to leave behind the door to thank the guests. The prince tried to inquire, but from the servants of the Prince of Chu to the imperial physicians who were treating the doctors, they all refused to mention it, which made people more and more suspicious.
Princess Rui took such a big bend, and Song Jianing didn't immediately realize that Princess Rui was talking, but the prince reminded her last night not to mention the real condition of King Chu when she got here. So when Princess Rui asked about this, Song Jianing was in charge of his little bell and rang, and said with a smile: "Last time we went to visit, Your Highness can already help her sister-in-law coax Brother Sheng. Some people talk and laugh, maybe it will be fine in a while."
He passed by without any leakage.
Princess Rui wanted to follow the clues, and her mouth opened. After thinking about Song Jianing's words, she couldn't find any vines to catch. Forcibly spying could easily arouse Song Jianing's suspicion, so she had to stop and talk about the trivial matters of raising children.
In the evening, Zhao Heng returned to the mansion and the family of three sat in the yard for a cool breeze. Zhao Zhao led the maids and eunuchs to walk around. Zhao Heng asked about his wife’s experience in Prince Rui’s Mansion. Song Jianing explained in detail that when she mentioned her words to Prince Rui, she looked at him with misty eyes, a little pitiful, like Zhao Zhao, who had never worn her favorite clothes in the morning.
Zhao Heng was not in a hurry to have a son. In his eyes, the princess was still young, and a daughter was enough for her to worry. Moreover, she had a dangerous and difficult place for a day to give birth to a daughter, and Zhao Heng really didn't want to come again.
"An An, don't be anxious, you'll be two more years old." Holding her soft little hand, Zhao Heng looked at her eyes and said, with a gentle tone as if he was coaxing his daughter. Song Jianing was mainly afraid that he would be anxious. Since he said that, Song Jianing looked at his daughter in the distance and whispered: "You are the prince who is not in a hurry, don't blame me then..."
She became more and more courageous to act coquettishly. Zhao Heng smiled and pinched her nose. Song Jianing's face turned red, afraid that the maids would see him. The couple was fucked for a moment. Zhao Heng signaled her to continue. When Song Jianing mentioned Princess Rui's condition inquiring about the condition of the King of Chu, Zhao Heng raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled meaningfully: "The drunken man's meaning."
Song Jianing was surprised to forget to eat the grapes he had just picked up. Under the reminder of the prince, he realized that Princess Rui's plan was discovered.
"Did you say it?" Zhao Heng's face darkened when he saw that she realized it at this time.
Song Jianing quickly put down the grapes and hurriedly denied: "No, the prince has told me a long time ago that I didn't even talk much to my mother, so how could he tell her? That's right, I just didn't expect that she had so much thoughts."
Zhao Heng looked a little slow, but he still warned: "People's hearts are unpredictable, so you need to think twice about everything."
His princess is not stupid, but she is too pure and does not think badly about the other person first when dealing with others, so she naturally is not wary of it. Fortunately, she is cautious by nature, and has never asked anyone to take advantage of loopholes in her words and deeds. This is also what Zhao Heng feels most relieved about her, although sometimes she carefully calls him pity.
"Open your mouth." Pinching a purple grape, Zhao Heng whispered, his eyes happy.
He fed her with his own hands, but Song Jianing hadn't eaten yet, and he felt sweet.
Rui Prince's Mansion.
When King Rui came back, he went directly to the princess's courtyard. Of course, Princess Rui did not dare to say that she had not found out anything. In order to prove that she was useful, Princess Rui deliberately made up some words, such as the King of Chu was so ill that he was unconscious before, and now he recognized the people close to him, and could help take care of his two sons.
These King Rui knew about them, frowned, and asked her with a tea bowl, "Do you know why the Chu Palace still leaves the door to thank the guests?" Logically speaking, since the eldest brother recognizes the person, his father should allow them to visit him. If you refuse guests behind closed doors, there must be another hidden story.
Princess Rui couldn't make up this, but she had already thought of an excuse, and she helped her husband pinch her shoulders and said, "I'm only closer to her today, so I can ask too much for a while. At the end of the month, I'll invite the mother and mother to come and sit down."
King Rui nodded and patted her hands and said, "That's what it should be, don't let her notice it."
That night, King Rui naturally rested on his wife's side.
Princess Rui gradually became favored, and Chen Xiu couldn't help but feel a little anxious. At dusk that day, she sat in front of the dressing table to carefully dress up, thinking that when the prince came back, she would go to the main courtyard to see the little princess, and perhaps she could show her face in front of the prince. Just thinking, the maid who returned home to visit the sick mother came back, and took out a letter to her with a pale face.
Chen Xiu was shocked.
The eldest maid said nervously: "I came back from a mule cart. Someone got in the car and sat next to me halfway through. He stuffed this letter to me and asked me to pass it to you."
Who is so sneaky?
Chen Xiu was full of doubts and opened the letter first. She was shocked when she saw what was said in the letter. She didn't recognize the handwriting, but there was a black snake painted in the signature. Chen Xiu immediately remembered the danger she experienced in the Beiyuan yard that day, and a tall figure and a cold face appeared in her mind.
After reading the letter again, Chen Xiu frowned.
Guo Xiao told her what the prince asked to do, was he going to help her please her? What benefits would this be for him?
After slowly folding the letter paper, Chen Xiu couldn't help but think of the major affairs in the court. Guo Xiao and Song Jianing and his daughter were in a quarrel. If the King of Chu was in power, Song Jianing would follow King Shou and Guo Xiao would not want to see him. If King Rui succeeded, then Guo Xiao would help her. In the future, she would blow the pillow in the prince's ear...
Chen Xiu smiled. The first time she realized that she was not fighting with Princess Rui alone.
He secretly told the maid that Chen Xiu continued to dress up in the mirror, but she did not plan to go to the main courtyard to grab people in person. After all, it was not very good-looking. Instead, he directly sent the maid to the prince's confidant manager. The manager did not want to interfere in the backyard for favor, but did not dare to hide it. As soon as King Rui came back, he said, "Prince, the concubine said she had something important to report to you."
After hearing this, King Rui went directly to Chen Xiu's yard.
The news soon reached Princess Rui's ears.
Princess Rui understood that the prince would probably stay with Chen Xiu's side tonight, and she felt a little sad, but thinking about it, the prince would rely on her to inquire about the news about the Chu Prince's Mansion through Song Jianing. Princess Rui slept soundly that night. But she never expected that the next day, Prince Rui came over and told her not to invite Princess Shou to the mansion to celebrate her eldest daughter's birthday.
Princess Rui couldn't figure it out and asked stutterly: "Prince, don't you want to know about Your Highness's illness?"
King Rui glanced at her faintly. There was something without saying it, Princess Rui understood. It must be that bitch Chen Xiu. I don’t know what to do to find out the news in advance. However, Princess Rui was so angry that she was about to explode, but she couldn’t do anything. She could only watch her prince continue to pamper Chen Xiu, even more than before.
