The nun representing Concubine Cen was coming, and there was no one else waiting in the room. Naturally, Zhao Ruxi couldn't abandon Xiao Lingyan and go next door to eat hotpot - it would take time to prepare the hotpot and move it next door.

So when Aunt Yu came in, she saw Zhao Ruxi sitting by the bed with a gentle face, and thoughtfully covering Xiao Lingyan with a thin quilt.

Although it is winter now, the bedrooms of Prince Qi and Princess Qi in Prince Qi's Mansion naturally have floor heating. This room is not only as warm as spring. Under Concubine Cen's loving care, she only needs to wear a single piece of clothing in the house.

It felt very appropriate for Xiao Lingyan to lie there in his jacket, and there was no need for a thin quilt. If he hadn't been caring about Aunt Yu, he would have condemned Zhao Ruxi again.

But Aunt Yu doesn't think so.

In a cold situation called "Mother thinks you are cold", Aunt Yu, who came here on behalf of Concubine Cen and watched Xiao Lingyan grow up, felt that Zhao Ruxi was a qualified good wife and mother at this time, and she felt happy.

"Your Highness, are you okay?" She bowed and stepped forward to ask.

After all the hard work today, Concubine Cen was really worried that her son's health would not be able to bear it, and she was even more worried that her son would hurt his body if he tried to show off his strength and consummate the marriage with Zhao Ruxi.

That's why Aunt Yu was sent to take charge here.

"Okay." Xiao Lingyan said, "I'll worry about mother and Aunt Yu taking it into account."

"As long as Your Highness is good, I am willing to do anything. There is no one in the world who worries more about her children than a mother." Aunt Yu said.

Zhao Ruxi tilted her head.

On the wedding night, the mother-in-law sent someone to tell her son about her mother's love and greatness. Why did she feel so strange?

Has the legendary drama of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law competing for favor begun?

Xiao Lingyan's emotional intelligence is passable.

He smiled and said: "Yes, I know how good my mother is to me. My body is like this now, and I gave my mother a lot of trouble some time ago. Now that I am married, I have Zhiwei to take care of me, and my mother can also take care of me a little bit."

Don't worry. Otherwise, it would be unfilial on my part to overwork my mother and concubine."

These words made Aunt Yu and Zhao Ruxi, who represented Cen Guifei, feel comfortable.

"I think my concubine has been thinking about the situation here. It's getting late now, and the palace will be locked soon. Auntie, why don't you go back first. Concubine, I can't live without you. If anything happens in the future, please call me the little palace maid.

The little eunuch can just run errands, so aunt, you don’t have to come here in person. If you don’t tell me if you are tired, it will be inconvenient for my mother and concubine to be there."

After a pause, he added: "I will send someone to tell my mother and concubine about this."

Concubine Cen presides over the affairs of the palace. She usually has complicated affairs. She has only a limited number of capable and trustworthy maids and eunuchs around her. Aunt Yu is also in charge of a lot of things, so she really has no time to go to Prince Qi's Mansion every day.

Naturally, she was not happy to ask her to put down her power and come to Prince Qi's Mansion to keep an eye on Xiao Lingyan and Zhao Ruxi for Concubine Cen. Besides, Xiao Lingyan's words clearly stated that he didn't want her to stay here, so she insisted on staying.

Come on, isn’t that annoying?

So when she heard Xiao Lingyan's words, she did not object and said with a smile: "Your Highness is really a filial child. He thinks about the imperial concubine everything."

She raised her head and glanced at Zhao Ruxi: "Of course, the same is true for the Queen Concubine. Come to His Highness? I'd rather trouble the Queen Concubine to take care of her."

"That's right. Aunt Yu, you don't have to be polite." Zhao Ruxi also smiled.

Since you don’t want to stay? Then you have to say what Concubine Cen entrusted you with.

Aunt Jade hesitated for a long time, and then asked Zhao Ruxi tactfully: "Does the princess also live in this room?"

Xiao Lingyan frowned when he heard this.

Zhao Ruxi is his wife. Now they are married? Where would Zhao Ruxi live if he didn't live here?

Zhao Ruxi understood what Aunt Yu meant.

But the answer Aunt Yu needs cannot be said by her. Should she say it? That means she dislikes Xiao Lingyan and is unwilling to live in the same room with Xiao Lingyan. Will Concubine Cen be dissatisfied with her in the future? This is what she wants to say.

Maybe it could be used in the future to force her to agree to Xiao Lingyan taking a concubine.

She pretended to be confused and asked: "Aunt, what does this mean? I don't understand."

The question just now was not what Concubine Cen sent Aunt Yu to say on purpose? It was purely a question that Aunt Yu, an old palace maid who had never been married, did not know how to open her mouth to ask.

Seeing that Xiao Lingyan was vaguely unhappy at this time? Zhao Ruxi was full of doubts, and she knew that Xiao Lingyan had misunderstood.

She quickly said clearly: "When the slave came, the empress faintly revealed some worries to the slave. His Highness is not well yet, is it not suitable to consummate the marriage? That's why I just asked this question. If His Highness and the princess misunderstood? It is the slave's fault.

This slave cannot speak and cannot explain clearly."

As soon as Zhao Ruxi heard this, she quickly lowered her head and looked shy.

Xiao Lingyan's face brightened slightly.

As a man, when faced with Aunt Jade who can be his own mother, he bluntly said: "You reassure my mother? I can't be humane now."

If he didn't explain it clearly, he was afraid that Concubine Cen would blame Zhao Ruxi for not having a child.

Zhao Ruxi's head lowered.

"Zhiwei? Will you pick a yard later and let the maid decorate it? You can stay there at night. Just don't stay too far away from me." Xiao Lingyan said again.

"Your Highness..." Zhao Ruxi raised his head and looked at Xiao Lingyan doubtfully.

"Whether I am eating, drinking medicine, going to the toilet, or turning over, I have to be waited on? The house is completely inseparable from people. The maid is weak and it is inconvenient to do this kind of thing. The eunuch is also not very capable, so he often has to ask for help.

The guards will do it. Besides, the Imperial Hospital also sends two imperial doctors to guard me day and night. It’s not convenient for you to stay in this courtyard. So you’d better choose another courtyard to live in."

When he said this, Aunt Yu also felt inconvenient.

Zhao Ruxi is a princess and the wife of King Qi, so how can she live in the same room with those foreign men? Even if they live in the same courtyard, it is very inconvenient, and the reputation will be bad.

She began to help Xiao Lingyan persuade Zhao Ruxi: "Your Highness is right. Princess, you should choose another courtyard to live in."

"But this way I won't be able to serve His Highness with you." Zhao Ruxi said with an embarrassed look on his face.

"You just need to come to my side and talk to me every day like you are in the palace," Xiao Lingyan said.

Zhao Ruxi looked at Aunt Jade and asked: "Where is the empress..."

Xiao Lingyan then said to Aunt Yu: "When the queen asks, just say it was my intention and I insisted on doing this. All the people who come in and out of my place are men. You can't ask the princess to live here, right? It's not the case.

Two days a day.”

"Yes, I will report your Highness's wishes to your Majesty."

As Aunt Jade spoke, she said to Zhao Ruxi: "The empress has always relied on Your Highness. Since Your Highness insists, Princess, please agree."

Zhao Ruxi nodded and said hesitantly: "Okay."
