Qin Rushuang was thinking with her eyes lowered when a pair of black boots suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
"Don't drink these cold things when you're pregnant."
Xie Xun's voice was calm, but this time he didn't give her the cold shoulder.
It was rare that he was willing to talk nicely, so Qin Rushuang was not aggressive.
Just whether you care about a person or not is always highlighted by the details.
"My lord, I have seen it clearly. The best Qimen red is warm in nature and nourishes the stomach. Could it be that your lord thinks that I will let you drink that cool Tieguanyin?"
Xie Xun was stunned when he heard this. Perhaps he was embarrassed and said no more.
After a while, he said: "Fang Hao cannot enter the mansion with such an unworthy status."
Unbearable?
The last trace of luck in Qin Rushuang's heart was wiped out. Sure enough, all the concessions he made were for Qin Fang's good.
She couldn't describe how she felt. She had been disappointed so many times that she no longer had any expectations for Xie Xun.
Thinking of this, Qin Rushuang didn't bother to talk to him anymore: "The imperial edict has been issued. Please go and talk to your majesty. If your majesty is willing to take back your order, I have nothing to say."
After finishing speaking, before he could speak, he told Qingzhi: "Let's go."
"Where are you going?" Xie Xun called her.
Qin Rushuang paused before going out: "I'm going back to my house to see my mother."
Xie Xun took three steps and two steps to follow: "I will go with you."
Can’t wait to support the one you love?
Qin Rushuang sneered in her heart, let's go and see how her good sister would deal with it.
Because the prince also wanted to go together, there was another chaos in the mansion, and it was almost dusk when the two finally left the mansion.
After getting on the carriage, Xie Xun didn't need to say anything, Qin Rushuang automatically sat in the seat furthest away from him.
The carriage was obviously very spacious, but there seemed to be an invisible river between the two of them, and the atmosphere was extremely cold.
In the past, she always wanted to get closer to him, but she got a look of disgust from him in return. Now, it would be best if she stayed away from the river.
Along the way, Qin Rushuang closed her eyes and meditated, and Xie Xun didn't say anything. The carriage was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
It wasn't until the servants said they had arrived at the general's residence that Qin Rushuang finally opened her eyes.
As expected, Xie Xun had already got off the carriage by himself, without any regard for the fact that she was just over one month pregnant.
Qin Rushuang opened the curtain, and there was no horse stool under the carriage.
She grew up on a horse, so the servants were used to letting her get off the carriage by herself.
She was pregnant at this time, so she could only ask Qingzhi to go to the mansion to get a horse stool for her.
But before Qingzhi came back, a big hand suddenly hugged her waist, and the next moment she was picked up.
This was the first time Xie Xun hugged her. Even when they got married, Xie Xun always let her get off the sedan chair by herself.
Xie Xun had the iron-blooded smell of a mature man. Even if she made up her mind to never fall in love with this man again, she couldn't help but blush.
"What are you doing! Put me down!"
"do not move!"
"Let me go! You don't need to pretend to be kind!"
Xie Xun turned his head slightly to avoid the wild cat in his arms, "Don't move around when you are pregnant. Do you want to hurt the baby?"
The struggling hand just dropped.
Yes, in the previous life, when she was just pregnant, Xie Xun was happy for a while, and their relationship was briefly harmonious.
But that joy was no match for a few tears from my concubine.
Remembering how cruel this man was when she miscarried, the blush on Qin Rushuang's face disappeared and she said coldly: "I thought the person who least wanted this child was the prince."
After holding her hand for a moment, Xie Xun's voice came from above her head: "Don't think so wildly."
Her feet landed quickly, and Qingzhi immediately came over to help her.
Mrs. Qin had been waiting at the door early. When she saw her daughter coming, she couldn't help but be happy: "It's good if she comes, it's good if she comes!"
"Mother!" Qin Rushuang was a little excited, with tears in her eyes.
It's great that her mother is still alive.
Seeing that Xie Xun was far away, Mrs. Qin whispered to Qin Rushuang: "Your Majesty, are you also willing to come together? I've just told you, occasionally giving in is the most heart-warming thing."
Qin Rushuang's smile faded, she lowered her eyes and said calmly: "Mom, you think too much. The prince is here to support my concubine."
The group of people went to the main hall, and General Qin was waiting at the door of the hall, his expression not very good.
Qin Fanghao did not come. She has not left the cabinet now, so it is not convenient for her to appear in such a situation with a foreign man.
Qin Rushuang secretly observed that the relationship between her father and mother was no longer what it used to be, and Qin Fanghao's mother, Aunt Liu, was even more favored by her father.
Presumably, he already knew that his beloved concubine was going to enter the palace as his concubine, and was waiting for an army to be held accountable.
After sitting down, General Qin went straight to the point: "Your Majesty is here today, just in time to discuss the matter of my daughter's entry into the palace. I will be favored by the maid... Although she is only a concubine, where can I put the dignity of the general's palace!"
Qin Rushuang sighed in her heart. She didn't realize it in her previous life, but now she realized that her father had changed before she knew it.
He was no longer the General Qin who was galloping on the battlefield and loved his wife as much as her life.
Now her father is immersed in official circles, talking about cards, reputation, and trying to save face in everything.
Aunt Liu, who entered the house unexpectedly and said she would never touch her, has a daughter who is only two years younger than Qin Rushuang.
And mother...
Qin Rushuang looked at Aunt Liu, who was standing close together in a hostess posture, and then looked at her mother, who was sitting far away...
She really ignored too many details in her previous life.
Qin Rushuang's thoughts drifted away, and Xie Xun's hand while drinking tea paused: "I have indeed wronged her. The betrothal gift will be sent to the house in the concubine's share."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Qin's expression suddenly changed.
When the concubine got married, she was still a nameless maidservant, but she was actually hired as a concubine.
The General's Mansion has the reputation, but how does this make Qin Rushuang, the principal concubine, deal with herself!
I'm afraid that one day it will become a joke in Kyoto!
Qin Rushuang gave her mother a calm look.
General Qin quickly praised Xie Xun for being sensible, and both of them were overjoyed.
The proud Aunt Liu nodded her head repeatedly, and even thanked her regardless of her status: "Your Majesty, you are so kind!"
Qin Rushuang had seen enough of their smug and ugly behavior, and then she said: "When will an aunt in the General's Mansion be able to come out and make random remarks? Have all the rules been imitated?"
Aunt Liu heard this and wanted to refute, but General Qin stopped her.
Qin Rushuang glanced at Aunt Liu and said calmly: "Your Majesty is so generous, and I, the elder sister, cannot be left behind. Let's do this. My little sister will not need to bring a dowry when she enters the house."
After saying this, Aunt Liu's face suddenly turned ugly. She even ignored General Qin's obstruction and immediately argued: "Since ancient times, marriage has been a betrothal gift. With a betrothal gift, how can the dowry be less?!"
Qin Rushuang felt funny in her heart, but what she was thinking was beautiful.
This time she relaxed, but she actually kicked her nose into her face?
Aunt Liu was a woman who came from a down-to-earth family and was very poor. When Qin Fanghao got married, if she had to prepare a dowry equal to the betrothal gift, she would inevitably have to touch her mother's things.
According to the rules, the betrothal gift from the prince's palace will end up in the public treasury of the general's palace, but the things his mother takes out will end up in Qin Fanghao's private treasury. How can such a good thing happen?!
Qin Rushuang put the tea cup on the table, and there was a "bang" sound, neither big nor small, but it silenced Aunt Liu.
"The prince wants to give the dowry in proportion to the concubine's share. That is because the prince feels sorry for his sister, and I have nothing to say. But this dowry is not necessary. It will make everyone look bad. Don't you think so, father?"
General Qin's face was as cold as iron, but he also knew the temperament of his legitimate daughter. If he was pushed too hard and the matter of the sisters fighting for a husband in the General's Mansion spread out, it would be the General's Mansion's face that would be lost.
So he could only look at Xie Xun: "It all depends on the prince."
Oh, using the prince to pressure her again, she wanted to see how Xie Xun would protect her concubine this time.
However, unexpectedly, Xie Xun actually said: "Just do as the princess said."
Qin Rushuang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then felt relieved. He probably didn't understand the twists and turns of the inner house.
After coming out of the main hall, Qingzhi asked Qin Rushuang if she was ready to go back home.
Just as she was about to agree, a servant suddenly came to tell her that Qin Fanghao wanted to see her.
