"The mother-in-law in my impression is not a person with a weak temper and devoted herself to Buddha?" Fu Yanxuan asked with a wry smile, shook his head and sighed, "Later, I often thought, it would have been better if I had not entered the palace that night.
From now on, I will still be the obedient and obedient second prince, but I am also very lucky that my mother-in-law does not like to keep people around me. Otherwise, with my three-legged cat kung fu, I would definitely die that night, and I would not live to be as old as I am now.
There will be no He Ting."
Seeing that he was still teasing her at this time, Chu Miaoer was speechless, but she was more pleased. He and Fu Yunqiu saw each other every day and lived together as classmates, but they had to pretend that they didn't know anything. No one knew.
How much he suffered.
"So, second brother, you are willing to give up the glory and wealth in the palace, turn around and throw yourself into the rivers and lakes with mountains, rivers and beauties, and make your mother, concubine and even everyone give up on you, just to make up for your debt to Yunqi. You want to use this to repay
..." Chu Miaoer asked with a smile, "Can I understand it this way?"
"Okay!" Fu Yanshuo told the secret that he had hidden in his heart for many years. He felt extremely relaxed physically and mentally, and laughed heartily, "Hahaha - I just said that the fourth brother can marry someone as beautiful as his sister-in-law.
Man is his blessing!"
But Chu Miaoer couldn't help but said: "But this was never what Yunqi wanted. Second brother, you made the wrong calculation from the beginning."
"Really?" Fu Yanxuan lowered his head and thought silently for a moment, then shrugged nonchalantly and said, "That's why I got an advantage over that boy Fu Lilian! I don't know who he followed because of his indecisive temper. Anyway, I didn't
I like him so much, it’s just that my fourth brother thinks he can be a great person." After saying this, he shook his head and sighed as if he suddenly remembered something, "But I never thought that one day I would talk to you about this...
"
The two chatted happily, and Fu Yanxuan's laughter echoed in the corridor of the palace from time to time. The servants in the palace saw that their prince rarely showed a smile, and their hearts that had been hanging for a few days finally fell to the ground, and they all
He breathed a sigh of relief.
You must know that since they came back from the palace that day, the prince and the princess seemed to have changed. They both stayed in the room all day long and did not see anyone. Jian Ying couldn't help but secretly sighed:
The fourth princess still has a way.
Ye Zhiqiu, who had been lying in bed for several days, had just woken up. When his servants said that Chu Miao'er had come to the house, he quickly called Meng Han to change into clean clothes for him, and started to go out wearing only light clothes.
At this time, the maid who came in with a medicine bowl walked in. Seeing that she was dressed carefully as if she was about to go out, a smile immediately broke out on her face, and Fu Shen said, "Are you planning to go out to find the fourth princess?"
After the princess came back, she had handed over many things in her hands to their servants. She seemed to be indifferent to the business that she cared about in the past, and she also avoided seeing Mrs. Huyin. Today, it was only because of the fourth princess that she was willing to step out of the room.
, which is really gratifying!
"Yes, where is the fourth princess now? Can anyone entertain her?" Ye Zhiqiu asked repeatedly. After this, her voice also revealed exhaustion.
Meng Han came over with a white fox fur cloak. Seeing that the princess was not well, he still didn't forget to take etiquette into consideration. He reluctantly put the cloak on her and said softly: "Princess, don't be anxious. I heard that the prince went to greet her in person."
The servant of the Fourth Princess thinks that the Prince heard that the Fourth Princess has come and thought that the Fourth Prince has also come."
"That's good. If the fourth princess came to visit her specially, but no one greeted her, it would be a loss of etiquette." Ye Zhiqiu gathered the fox fur cloak around him, looked out the door and murmured, "That's good..."
The servants in the mansion did not know the specific situation, but Ke Menghan accompanied him into the palace that day and stood outside the gate of Qiankun Palace and heard the whole story clearly. Not to mention that she, an outsider, was frightened by what she heard, let alone the prince and princess.
How many are there?
"Princess, why don't you drink the medicine first before going? You have a high fever since you came back from the palace, and your condition keeps getting better. Even if you are thinking about the young prince, you have to take good care of yourself..." Meng Han
I wanted to dissuade her from going out, but then I thought about it and took the hot medicinal soup from the hands of the maid and motioned for her to go down first. Meng Han put it to her mouth and blew it to cool it before passing it to her mouth and urging her, "The prince and the fourth princess
We are talking right now, it won’t be too late for you to go after taking the medicine.”
Ye Zhiqiu knows his own health better than anyone else. He is worried about getting sick. How can he be cured by medicine?
She took the medicine bowl and drank it down in one gulp, then wiped her mouth gently with a handkerchief, but was stopped by Meng Han. She felt helpless at the moment, turned around and said, "I've drank all the medicine..."
I don’t know where Meng Han conjured up the candied fruit, but it was now lying in her hands.
"When the princess was young, she was most afraid of hardship, so she would ask her slaves to secretly prepare candied fruits for the princess. Later, after the princess married into the second prince's house, she was afraid of being seen and losing her dignity, so she did not allow the slaves to prepare candied fruits on hand." Meng.
Han couldn't help but swallowed more, "I really feel sorry for you that you have worked so hard for the palace for so many years, but Concubine Jing..."
"This person has passed away, so there is no need to mention it anymore. Come with me to see the fourth princess." Ye Zhiqiu glanced at the candied fruit lying in the center of Menghan's palm, blocked it with his hands expressionlessly, and walked straight to the door.
.
When Meng Han saw this, he didn't dare to say anything and followed him out of the door.
At this time, Chu Miao'er was chatting animatedly with Fu Yanshuo, and somehow they ended up talking about his past with Princess Ling Hui.
"No..." Chu Miao'er interrupted him in surprise, covered her mouth lightly, and said with laughter, "Did I hear you right? Did you like Princess Ling Hui before? Then... then why didn't you ask your mother to give her a favor?"
Marriage? If you succeed, maybe she won't leave Kyoto, and maybe there won't be any of these things."
"Knowing how deep her obsession with her fourth brother was, she still went to ask the Queen Mother for marriage. It seemed that she was overestimating her abilities. Furthermore, her mother would never leave her in Kyoto. There is no doubt about this.
"Fu Yanshuo said with a smile, "This is just a young and frivolous hobby. It will disappear as soon as the wind blows. Now that I have Huyin and Xiao Heting by my side, I am very content."
I have to admit that Princess Ling Hui's mother has thought very far on this point. Just because of their status, they will enjoy endless glory and wealth in this life. There is no need for Ling Hui to lose half of her youth in the palace, and there is no need to be contaminated.
The palace is dark and dirty.
"Actually, there are some things I haven't been able to understand...but I don't know whether I should ask..." Chu Miaoer opened her mouth slightly and murmured in a low voice.
Since they met, Chu Miao'er always talked quickly with him. Fu Yanxuan, who had never seen her hesitating like this before, was a little surprised. He raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and asked curiously: "You and I?"
What else can’t be said clearly about the relationship? But it doesn’t hurt to say it.”
Chu Miaoer collected her thoughts, looked directly at him, and slowly expressed the doubts that had been buried in her heart for a long time: "The three princes mentioned by the emperor that day were all killed by Concubine Jing... I have never been able to figure it out.
, why did she do that? The royal family has few heirs, and the second sister-in-law gave birth to heirs one after another. Isn’t it great not only for the second brother, but also for her? Even if she doesn’t like the second sister-in-law’s background, I think Empress Jingfei
...There is no need to attack three innocent children."
"No, you don't understand my mother-in-law," Fu Yanshuo let out a long sigh, "Actually, I was aware of it when Dao'er accidentally fell into the water for the first time, but like you, I never thought about it at that time.
It wasn't until I witnessed my mother-in-law pushing Jun'er into the water that I suddenly realized it, but it was too late."
She heard Fu Yunqi say that the first youngest son of the second prince's house had the same prefix as "鲲", the second son had the same prefix as "jun", and the youngest heir apparent was named "Xiang". In fact, it can be seen from the naming that Fu Yanshuo
I have less and less expectations for these children, I just want peace.
"Why is it late? Xiang'er was just born at that time..." Chu Miao'er couldn't understand the helplessness in his words, and said anxiously, "Second brother, you can have a heart-to-heart talk with Concubine Jing.
, maybe I can save the third son's life, and won't make the second sister-in-law feel so cold."
"How do you know I didn't beg my mother and concubine?"
Fu Yanshuo's faint words actually blocked all Chu Miao'er's unsaid words, and all the questions she had prepared in her mind disappeared in this sentence.
"Then...then why...?" It took Chu Miao'er a long time to find his voice.
"Mother Concubine...Mother Concubine felt that after I got married to Zhiqiu, I became more and more uneducated and uninterested in the throne, so she thought that without these fetters, I could become the second prince that everyone praised for being smart...
It can be seen that Qiu Lian has been in a daze after losing his two children. I did not dare to propose reconciliation rashly, so I could only deliberately distance myself from Zhi Qiu, just to protect her... Xiang'er... Xiang'er's matter is also mine.
The pain in my heart has always been there." Fu Yanshuo's voice became deeper and deeper, and he had already fallen into deep self-blame.
Chu Miaoer's lips trembled slightly and she looked at him stupidly in disbelief: "So, second brother, you are not emotionless towards second sister-in-law..."
According to his statement, doesn't it mean that he already knew that the three young princes were harmed by Concubine Jing? So the purpose of staying away from home for ten and a half months was to alienate Ye Zhiqiu, so that Ye Zhiqiu would be disheartened and take the initiative to leave the Second Prince's Mansion?
"It would be great if Zhiqiu was a man. She is so outstanding, but I have ruined her life." Before Fu Yanshuo could finish speaking, he faintly heard a faint sound not far away, and he shouted sharply, "Who is here?
There?!"
Jian Ying jumped up to check, and Chu Miao'er followed him to look at the rockery, but found nothing. It wasn't until Jian Ying jumped back again that Fu Yanshuo breathed a sigh of relief.
"The road is blocked by heavy snow, and many little things will come out to look for food. Maybe I heard it wrong..." Chu Miao'er turned his eyes and said, "I talked so much with my second brother today, and I can sort out my doubts.
Let’s go and see my second sister-in-law first, just to relax my mood.”
Fu Yanshuo knew that what he just said was a big shock to her, so he nodded and let her go.
