It was too easy for Yuan Qingping to pry something out of the confused second lady, but the second lady did not say it was Yuan Qingling. She only said that she heard that Jingpingyan had frequent contacts with the wife of a certain official.
, have a personal relationship.
Yuan Qingping asked her who said that, and she said it was someone outside who said it through gossip.
Yuan Qingping told Gu Si what he had found out in the evening. Gu Si was a little surprised, "There is such a rumor? This is absolutely impossible. Lord Leng has such a temper that he doesn't have frequent interactions with men, let alone the wives of officials.
I'm afraid he doesn't even remember your appearance clearly."
"Perhaps he was sent by those who admire him so much?" Yuan Qing said.
"It's terrible to be someone who hates out of love." Gu Si Zangzi didn't think deeply.
Yuan Qing paused for a moment, but frowned and said: "However, it is true that the second lady and Chu Mingyang have been interacting more frequently recently. In the past two months, Chu Mingyang has come to the house to see the second lady every ten or eight days. In the past,
I haven’t seen them interact with each other.”
Gu Si said: "Are you thinking of coming to enjoy the autumn breeze?"
"No, the second lady is actually very stingy. Chu Mingyang can't get any benefits from her. But I heard from Xiaoju that the second lady is very happy every time Chu Mingyang comes, so she is definitely not here to fight against the autumn wind."
Gu Sidao: "This Chu Mingyang is very minded, so we should be on guard. You should pay more attention to see what big thing she is doing with her second aunt. It is so important that she has to come here every few days."
Yuan Qingping nodded, "Okay, don't worry, I will keep an eye on everything in this house."
Gu Si helped her sit on the chaise chair and said distressedly: "I'm tired of you. You are pregnant with the child, and you have to be busy with this and that."
Yuan Qingping smiled happily, "I have such a temper that I just can't take any time off. If I were to lie quietly and nurse my baby, I would go crazy within a month. Do you believe it or not?"
Gu Si held her hand and said softly: "But I married you to give you happiness, not to make you work hard. In the past two or three years, I always feel that I owe you a lot."
Yuan Qingping pressed his hand to her face, her happy smile did not diminish, and her eyes showed more nostalgia, "No, Gu Si, there are many kinds of happiness. If you marry me, I will just eat and wait for death every day. For me,
It's not happiness, it's jail. It's so good now. I have everything I can control in my hands. It can make us less likely to have accidents. A safe day is a happy day, and when disaster strikes,
, I know you can solve it and protect our family, Gu Si, I like this."
Gu Si was very moved in his heart, "Being able to marry you is a blessing that I, Gu Si, have cultivated throughout my life. I am the happiest."
Yuan Qingping shook his head, "You can't compete with me. I am the happiest person. Sometimes I walk around with my sister and talk to Mrs. Yao, Princess Huai, and Princess Sun. I really feel that I am much happier than them.
There are too many. Look at my sister, although the prince is kind to her, in fact she has never lived a stable life since she married into Prince Chu's palace. It was the worst when she was pregnant with Dim Sum. First, Chu Mingcui was born, and then
Concubine Xian, her life is so thrilling, she narrowly escaped death, and Mrs. Yao, how miserable she is now, let alone Princess Wei and Princess An."
She leaned into Gu Si's arms and said softly: "And me, I am pregnant with my second child. You regard me as a treasure and you can even take into account my feelings. Compared with them, I
My days are like a pool of water, but there are no stormy waves, I am safe and comfortable."
Gu Si kissed her forehead, stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms, happiness also lingered in his chest.
Because Man'er was named the King of Southern Xinjiang, and Man'er was a person who came out of the Chu Palace, it was considered a great joy for the Chu Palace. Rong Yue asked Yuan Qingling to treat the guests, and held a banquet for everyone to come to the palace.
narrate narrate.
Rong Yue loves to be lively, so Yuan Qingling naturally agreed, but it was not really for the banquet, but to introduce the King of Southern Xinjiang in her palace to everyone in a dignified manner, so that everyone would forget that she was a maid in the Chu Palace in the past.
Lao Wu also agreed to this matter. He originally arranged for Man'er to stay in the capital for a few months, with the purpose of attracting the southern Xinjiang people from the capital.
Therefore, Man'er's appointment as king naturally had to be done with great fanfare.
Although Yuan Qingping was pregnant and had difficulty moving around, she still went to the Prince of Chu's Mansion to have some fun and asked her sister to check her fetus.
Yuan Qingling listened to the fetal heartbeat and told her with a smile, "The baby is very healthy and energetic."
Yuan Qingping smiled happily and stretched out his hand to touch his abdomen, "I hope this one is a son, so that we can have both children."
"Yes, all your wishes will come true." Yuan Qingling said enviously.
Seeing her sister's envy, she smiled and said: "Sister, my brother-in-law is looking forward to having a girl. Are you really not going to have one?"
"No." Yuan Qingling packed up her things and refused.
"Why? Aren't you happy to give birth to a child for the man you love?" Yuan Qingping felt that Gu Si was so good to her, it was worthwhile for her to give birth to a child for Gu Si, and the child was also hers, not just for Gu Si.
.
"Sister, there are many ways to express happiness. Having children is one, but living well and living peacefully is also one of them. I think your brother-in-law just wants me to live well now," Yuan Qing said.
"That's hard to say, aren't you living a good life now?" Yuan Qing said with a smile.
Yuan Qingling thought of what Fang Wu said, which was a thorn in her heart, but she would rather think of it as Schrödinger's cat. Anyway, there are two possibilities. As long as they are not opened, there will always be the possibility and hope of living for a long time.
"By the way, sister, do you know that Lord Leng has a sweetheart?" Yuan Qingping packed up her clothes and asked.
"I don't know, I haven't heard from your brother-in-law." Yuan Qingling turned back to look at her, "Why are you suddenly asking about him?"
Yuan Qingping put on her shoes and walked down, "Hasn't the fifth girl in our family always longed for Mr. Leng? The second lady had also sent someone to tell the truth, and was waiting for someone from the Leng family to come to propose marriage, but the second lady suddenly appeared again that day.
I went to ask your brother-in-law, and he said that he heard rumors outside that Lord Leng was involved with the wife of a certain official, and that he had an affair."
Hearing this, Yuan Qingling was so angry that she laughed, "Those people are free-mouthed. Calm Yan is the least likely person to do this. Who said that? It's so wicked."
"It's said that it was rumored by people outside, but I don't know who spread it first."
Yuan Qing smiled and smiled, but felt that these words were really unethical. Such calm words were arranged to communicate with an official's wife. If it really reached the ears of an official, wouldn't it mean that he would fall out if he took it seriously?
?It’s not a good thing to get into trouble. Calmly speaking, this is the Imperial Academy’s wine ceremony, and reputation is very important.
So, after she finished talking to Yuan Qingping, she went out to find Tang Yang and asked him to go out and inquire, but those people spread the news first.
