Qin Rushuang was led to the study room by Xie Xun.
The two bookcases in the study room were originally placed separately, but now they have been moved to the same side. In the free space, there are many carpentry tools.
There are ready-made toys on the ground.
There are wooden horses, small tables and chairs, and wooden dolls.
"I thought both boys and girls could play with these things, so I made them first," Xie Xun explained.
Qin Rushuang picked up two wooden dolls with three-dimensional and vivid facial features.
It can be seen that the first one was made first, and the carving is still a bit rough, but the following ones are very lifelike.
There is also a small wooden horse, which is made of fine wood and is spliced perfectly. It can be seen that a lot of effort has been put into it and it took a lot of time to make it.
Qin Rushuang felt a little touched: "The prince did this himself?"
"Um."
Xie Xun nodded, then crossed the wooden horse and picked up a small box from the desk.
The box was opened gently by Qin Rushuang. Inside were several gold locks and safety buckles.
The workmanship is more exquisite than what Shen Xiaoyang gave her.
"Like it?"
"Very good, I like it very much, my child... I think I will also like it in the future."
"How does it compare to Shen Xiaoyang's gift?"
Xie Xun's question made Qin Rushuang a little confused about how to answer. Could it be that Xie Xun was...jealous?
Qin Rushuang quickly threw this conjecture to the back of her mind. It was impossible, absolutely impossible.
But she still replied: "This one is better. Your Majesty has put a lot of effort into it, right?"
"It didn't take any great effort. It was all made by the craftsmen hired by the housekeeper."
As she said this, she revealed a smile where Qin Rushuang could not see her.
Qin Rushuang turned it over and over, and then discovered that the word "安" was engraved on every inconspicuous corner of the small object.
It can be seen that the character was carved separately after it was made. The knife fell extremely steadily and the font was smooth.
"This is......"
"I thought that the word An can be used by both boys and girls." Xie Xun explained.
Have you even thought of a name?
She thought Xie Xun wouldn't care about the child.
Thinking like this, Qin Rushuang said: "I thought the prince didn't want this child."
Xie Xun frowned. This was the second time he heard such words. Why on earth did she feel like this?
"It's nothing, didn't I tell you, don't think about it."
"So does the prince care about this child?" Qin Rushuang asked.
"Of course, this is my king's eldest son. He will inherit the family business a hundred years later and will be buried in mourning for you and me."
For some reason, Qin Rushuang's heart skipped a beat. "A hundred years later" was not an auspicious word, but she found it very pleasant.
Regardless of her feelings for Xie Xun, if possible, she hopes that her child can stay with his father since childhood.
Maybe some things should be made clear.
"I don't know what the prince is thinking now, but I hope that my children can grow up happily, so..."
Qin Rushuang closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her expression was firm, as if she had made some determination: "If the child can be born smoothly as the legitimate son of Prince Huai's house, we will each take a step back from now on, and I will follow the prince's wishes regarding the rear house. "
While planning for her child, this was the biggest concession she could make.
She thought Xie Xun would be happy, but Xie Xun's face darkened.
Looking at Xie Xun's expression, Qin Rushuang's heart sank inch by inch.
She thinks she has made the biggest concession. Even so, doesn't Xie Xun appreciate it?
"Put your things away, and don't think about anything else. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Until Xie Xun left, Qin Rushuang still stood there.
Didn't she give in enough...
In the next few days, Xie Xun became very busy, often leaving early and returning late. The two of them could not see each other from morning to night.
The two of them broke up unhappy in the study, which had an impact on Qin Rushuang, and she was not in a high mood for several days.
"Princess! Have you read the list here? And this one?"
Qingzhi held up two bills and asked Qin Rushuang for instructions. Some items with larger amounts of money still needed Qin Rushuang's approval.
Qin Rushuang waved her hand without interest: "Go directly to the accounting office to pay the bill."
Qingzhi stuck out her tongue. She didn't know what was going on with her princess these days. She was always in a daze. She even asked Dr. Cao to take a look at her, but she was fine. Qingzhi was very busy these days, so she didn't pay attention.
"I've been really busy these past few days. Princess, look at me, I'm all green now!"
"Okay, okay, let's give you an extra monthly payment, right? De Xing."
Qin Rushuang watched Qingzhi playing with her treasures, smiled and waved her hand: "Hurry up!"
Qingzhi didn't really want the monthly money, she just wanted to relieve her princess' boredom. Seeing Qin Rushuang smile, she took the list and went to work.
As Qingzhi went to the warehouse, he looked at the categories on the list and muttered: "Aren't the wine bottles in the palace just replaced when the princess got married? Why do they need to be replaced with new ones again?"
However, Qingzhi felt relieved again when he thought about the important officials from the court who would come on the day of the princess's birthday, perhaps to entertain the distinguished guests.
When he walked to the corridor, Qingzhi saw the servant leading Aunt Liu in.
Qingzhi shook her head, Aunt Liu has been coming more frequently recently, but it's no use. The prince doesn't go to the back house at all now, and it's useless even if Aunt Liu gives the second lady some advice!
In the side courtyard, Linglong was taken away, leaving only Aunt Liu and Qin Fanghao, mother and daughter.
Aunt Liu said: "Qin Rushuang relented, I can come on the 16th."
"That's fine."
Qin Fanghao nodded. Although her mother was sometimes unreliable, at critical times, only her own people could be trusted.
After confirming that there was no one around, she took out two bottles from her sleeves and placed them on the table.
The two porcelain bottles stood there quietly.
One white and one black.
The white bottle is already empty, and the black bottle will be used soon.
Aunt Liu looked at the bottle of black medicine, swallowed her saliva, and looked a little nervous: "Do you really want to use this?"
"Why, mother is scared?" Qin Fanghao raised his eyebrows: "Does it mean that mother has been someone else's concubine all her life, and she still wants me to be bullied by others all her life?"
Aunt Liu gritted her teeth: "I'll do as you say! Keep a low profile these days and don't arouse her suspicion."
"I know." Qin Fanghao nodded, and then asked: "Has Zhu'er arranged to come in? It's not convenient for Qin Rushuang to do things without our people around."
"It's all done. Zhu'er has changed her name and stuffed it in. Now her name is Cuibi."
"Mom, don't blame me for being cautious. My daughter has endured it for too long. She must get things done this time!"
Speaking of this, Aunt Liu looked like she hated iron.
"Didn't Chun Lie already take the medicine that time? How could it not work!"
"Don't talk about it. I intercepted the prince at the river and had already coaxed people into the tent. When he saw it was me, he actually tapped some acupuncture point on his own and fainted all of a sudden!"
"What happened next?"
"I could only take off my clothes and pretend that the two of us had spent the night together. It happened to be that day when we came to Kuishui, so I managed to get through it. But I think the prince believed it and asked me to return home quickly the next day."
Qin Fanghao bit his lower lip and looked a little hesitant: "Mother, the prince will not dislike me, right?"
Aunt Liu patted her arm: "Don't worry, I will feel uncomfortable after being plotted against. As long as it turns out this time...that medicine...Qin Rushuang will definitely not be able to turn over. Your Majesty is concerned about your relationship with others."
The kindness of salvation will not ignore you."
The mother and daughter were talking in low voices, and no one noticed the flash of a piece of clothing peeking out from behind the door.
Linglong covered her mouth to prevent herself from making any sound, and her face was as white as paper.
It turns out that the lady didn’t have sex with the prince that day at all! Why did the lady lie to her?!
Moreover, the young lady kept telling her that this birthday was just to cooperate with Aunt Liu to make the princess look embarrassed, so what happened to the medicine?
She only knew that the lady had given her a bottle of white love potion, which had been used up on the day of the spring hunt...
So what is the medicine that Aunt Liu mentioned that made Qin Rushuang unable to turn over?!
