Hearing that Hua Lin was finally willing to eat, Hua Qi felt relieved and walked into the room.
Xu Yunxi was sitting in front of the dressing table dressing up. When she saw him coming in, she couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Since she was pregnant, according to the rules, Hua Qi had already moved to the study outside to rest, and the two of them slept in separate rooms.
However, Xu Yunxi quickly recovered her expression, stood up and asked with a smile: "Husband, is Lin'er's illness okay?"
In fact, Xu Yunxi already knew what happened today from her mother-in-law. She asked Hua Qi a step down.
"Lin'er is still young and ignorant, and I know that, but after all, she is my only sister. Since grandpa left, we have grown up dependent on each other. I feel sorry for her in my heart..." Hua Qi paused, and then
Said: "Last time, I blamed you because of her fault. I want to say sorry to you!"
Xu Yunxi bit her lip. Last time, Hua Qi was self-defeating because of her inciting Hua Lin to meet Hu Yan. Hua Qi lost her temper at her, and she felt uncomfortable for a few days. Today, seeing Hua Qi come to apologize in person, that's all.
He quickly said: "We are husband and wife, do we still need to apologize? What's more, I did something inappropriate that day. I knew that Lin'er's temper was a bit irritable, but..."
"The emperor summoned me to the palace recently and said that Hu Yan had brought a letter from An Ding, informing him that Hu Yan had made a marriage arrangement. I thought it was a drunken gaffe, but now the other party has come to visit me.
Come, I'm afraid I have to fulfill my promise back then, so this marriage..." Hua Qi sighed, Hu Yan is a talented person and has a prominent family, so he is indeed a good match. It's a pity that Hua Lin doesn't know how to be blessed despite being blessed.
I totally missed this opportunity!
"But why didn't you mention it at the beginning of the marriage negotiation? Why did you bring it up just because the emperor was going to grant a marriage?" Xu Yunxi was also stunned when he heard this.[
"The meaning of Anding Hou is already very clear. Now the Anding Hou Mansion would rather marry the same family that they talked about while drunkenly than marry Lin'er!" Hua Qi frowned, "Then Hu Yan is not stupid. Last time he came here,
Hua Lin's performance like that explains everything! Anding Houfu has the pride of Anding Houfu, and Hu Yan also has Hu Yan's pride!"
Xu Yunxi understood it all at once, with deep self-blame on his face, "Husband, you blame me for not succeeding more than failing. I did bad things with good intentions. Now Lin'er's worries are gone. What should I do?"
"The worst thing is that after such a long time, when I entered the palace, the emperor and the queen never asked about Hua Lin's situation. I was afraid that the queen would be angry too!" Hua Qi sighed.
"How about I go to the palace to see the Queen some other day and say something nice to Lin'er. After all, Lin'er grew up with the Queen and has feelings for her!" Xu Yunxi said quickly. Now she is eager to atone for her sins.
"I mean the same thing, but I can't tell Hua Lin this. On August 15th this time, I heard that a palace banquet will be held in the palace. If your health allows, please go to the palace!" Hua Qi said
.
Xu Yunxi nodded quickly.
Hua Qi sat for a while longer and planned to go back to rest.
"Husband!" Xu Yunxi suddenly called Hua Qi, "I have made you feel wronged!"
Hua Qi was stunned and asked, "What does this mean?"
Xu Yunxi lowered her head and whispered: "I am pregnant and cannot serve my husband. I want my husband to sleep alone in the study..."
Hua Qi smiled lightly and said: "What's the matter? I happen to have time to read. When I get tired from reading, I can take a rest. It's very convenient!"
What Hua Qi said was to comfort Xu Yunxi, but Xu Yunxi's face looked a little strange. She paused and said tentatively: "My mother was here yesterday!"
Hua Qi was stunned, "When did my mother-in-law come? Why didn't I know?"
"My husband went to the palace, and my mother just sat there for a while and then went back. I asked the housekeeper not to report it to you, for fear of delaying your business!" Xu Yunxi said in a low voice, "Mother, tell me.
I said some words, and after thinking about it, I think they make sense!”
Seeing that Xu Yunxi was hesitant, Hua Qi asked, "What did my mother-in-law say?" [
"My mother said that I have a cousin who is very delicate. If my husband doesn't dislike her, he will take her in and make her a concubine!" Xu Yunxi finally plucked up the courage to say.
Hua Qi was startled, his face gradually became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "What are these words?"
Seeing that Hua Qi seemed a little angry, Xu Yunxi hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Husband, don't get me wrong, I'm just afraid of causing pain to you husband. What's more, this wife is pregnant, and there are many cases of husbands taking concubines in the capital!"
"I said when we got married that there will only be you and me in this life. What do you mean by suddenly asking me to take a concubine?" Hua Qi was a little angry and stood up with a sullen face, "Don't mention this matter again, and neither do you.
Just think about it, just give birth to a big fat boy for our Hua family!"
After Hua Qi finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
Xu Yunxi bit her lip and sighed after a long time.
She knew that Hua Qi was angry, but would she feel better if she asked her husband to marry another woman, even if it was a concubine? But thinking of the letter she accidentally saw on the desk in the study that day, Xu Yunxi became uneasy again.
That day Hua Qi went to the palace. She had some free time and went to the study. She was thinking of finding a book to kill time, but she didn't expect to find a letter written by Lu Ningxin to Hua Qi on the desk. Naturally, she didn't open it.
I came to see her, but since that day, she felt uneasy and couldn't sleep every night. It happened that her mother, Mrs. Xu, came to see her that day. Seeing how thin she was, she asked, "She can't hide it."
, after talking about that, her mother gave her this idea.
"When it comes to getting married, men all say nice things, but how many of them can really keep it? Especially now that you are pregnant, you can't let him get close to you. It will only be a year. Instead of finding a woman by yourself, it's better for you
Find him a good one, someone who won't compete with you for your favor, and who will be by your side wholeheartedly!" Mrs. Xu said at that time.
After Mrs. Xu returned, she found a girl who was a concubine of her cousin's family and sent her a letter. She thought about it for a long time and finally mentioned it today, which made Hua Qi unhappy.
"Does he still have Lu Ningxin in his heart?" Xu Yunxi sighed faintly.
On the second day, someone from the palace sent an invitation to the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet. Xu Yunxi temporarily put aside her thoughts and began to prepare the clothes and jewelry for the palace banquet.
At this moment, in Prince Lei's Mansion, Yan Guan has been accompanying Yan Jiu since he started diagnosis and treatment at the Prince's Mansion, but Prince Rong went back first because of something in the Luo Kingdom.
At the gate of the Prince's Mansion, Yan Wan watched Prince Rong get into the carriage.
"Guan'er, Jiu'er is entrusted to you, but you have to remember, just do what you can within your ability!" Prince Rong sighed. He saw how much Yan Guan had suffered because of Yan Jiu's illness over the years.
In his eyes, he felt heartbroken when he saw this daughter who looked very similar to his deceased wife.
"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Jiu'er. Maybe when dad comes back from doing things, Jiu'er will have good news!" Yan Wan said with a smile on his face, waving his hand, sending Prince Rong off.
.
Prince Rong nodded, lowered the curtain, and said, "Let's go!"
The carriage drove slowly, and Yan Wan kept waving his hand until the carriage was out of sight.
After seeing off Prince Rong, Yan Wan returned to the room, but heard Cai Li coming in a hurry with a look of expression.
Yan Wan and Yan Jiu moved into the Prince's Mansion and served Yan Jiu personally, while Cai Li and her men continued to stay in Foxiao Hall. Now Cai Li came here eagerly, fearing that something might happen.
Yan Wan was afraid that the walls had ears, so he took Cai Li to the pavilion in the back garden. The view there was wide, and if someone was eavesdropping, they could see it at a glance.
In the pavilion, Cai Li reported in a low voice: "The sea route between Luo State and Li State has been opened, but the imperial fleet still controls the route. There is news from over there. I would like to ask the lady if she wants to find a way to open a new sea route."
route?”
The previous route was tortuous, with many rocks and fast water. It took three days longer than the current route. For three days, the cost of food and clothing for the boatmen would increase. In addition, the time limit for the delivery of goods would increase the cost.
Business will be a big impact.
"As soon as this sea route opened, our business has dropped by half, and the remaining half are also old customers!" Cai Li frowned.
"That sea route was opened by the Imperial Court of Li State and the Imperial Court of Luo State. We can't rob it, let alone not be able to rob them. Don't ask for trouble!" Yan Guan pondered for a moment and then said, "The current route,
Do as much business as you can, after all we still have Tianshui Bi!"
Tian Shuibi is her trump card and can be replaced by anyone. In addition, now that she knows that those tonics harmed Yan Jiu, she no longer has much interest in business.
As long as Yan Jiu's illness can be cured, what if everything she has worked hard to build over the past three years is lost?
Cai Li seemed to want to persuade Yan Wan, but seeing Yan Wan's resolute expression, he finally had no choice but to nod, turn around and leave.
Yan Wan sat in the pavilion for a while, thinking that Yan Jiu's medicine was still simmering in the kitchen. When she was about to get up, she saw that Ling Dang had already brought the medicine to her.
"I didn't see you anywhere. I heard the maid said you were here, so I brought the 'medicine'!" Lingdang laughed, "This 'medicine' must be drunk according to the time!"
When Lei Ting was not in the house, Ling Dang helped make the medicine, so Yan Wan was grateful to Ling Dang, "Thank you very much. Just now my father had to go back to Luo Country for something, and I went out to see him off, which took some time.
!”
Lingdang smiled gently and said: "It doesn't matter. If you have anything to do in the future, just call me and I'll give you medicine!"
Yan Wan quickly thanked him.
Lingdang handed the "medicine" to Yan Wan and was about to turn around and leave.
"Miss Lingdang, can I ask you about someone?" Yan Wan suddenly remembered something and suddenly called Lingdang.
"Who is he? Do I know him?" Ling Dang asked with a smile.
Yan Guan nodded and said: "My name is Shangguan Yi. He is the nephew of Shangguan boss of the four major families. He is also the apprentice of the ghost doctor. He and I are friends, and he is the ghost doctor he helped find. I want to thank him in person, but after entering
I have come to this county prince’s mansion, but I have never seen him!”
"Shangguanyi?" Lingdang was stunned, thought of something quickly, and said with a smile: "He went out to do something for the master. I don't know when he will come back!"
When Yan Wan heard this, he immediately asked: "Where is his home? Oh, that's right. It doesn't matter if he's not here. I can go and thank his family!"
Lingdang smiled faintly, "He has no family!"
Yan Wan wanted to ask something else, but Lingdang smiled and said, "Miss Yan, this 'medicine' is getting cold!"
Yan Wan hurriedly responded, and hurried forward to pick up the soup and medicine, but saw that the bell had already gone away.
Yan Wan sighed quietly and entered the room with the "medicine" in hand.
When Ling Ding arrived in the middle courtyard, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. She was about to go back to the pharmacy when she heard someone calling her.
"Miss Lingdang, the princess invites you to come!" Princess Ruimin's personal maid stepped forward and said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Hearing the bell, he quickly responded and followed the maid to the inner room.
In the room, Ruimin was choosing the jewelry to wear to the palace for a palace banquet. When the maid reported that Bell was coming, she quickly smiled and said: "Ling Dang, come in quickly and see how that hairpin matches my clothes?"
Ling Ding came in and bowed, then looked at the hairpins and said with a smile: "The princess's jewelry are all top-grade, any one of them is very beautiful!"
"You are such a good talker, no wonder this princess likes you more and more!" Ruimin said with a smile, looked at the hairpins again, picked a pair of gold hairpins with moiré pattern and tourmaline, and placed them on the bell
He said in his hand, "I heard that the second young master of the Yu family is also going this time. You should also dress up well. I will take you into the palace to meet him!"
Ling Dang was stunned for a moment and quickly said: "Ling Dang appreciates the princess's kindness, but Ling Dang has never seen such a big world and is afraid of embarrassing the princess, so she better not go!"
"It's just because you haven't seen it before that I took you there! The second son of the Yu family said that he is a concubine, but his literary talent is first-class. Now he is at the top of the two rankings. Maybe he will be the number one scholar this year. On such occasions in the future
, there are still many, so you must get used to it! Don’t worry, with my princess here and your relationship with the Queen, no one will dare to bully you!" Ruimin said directly, and asked the maid to take it out again.
A set of emerald-green buttoned-up blouse with eight-piece Hunan skirt embroidered with green bamboo leaves. He smiled and said, "This dress is specially made for you. Do you like it?"
The color of that set of clothes is very fresh, and coupled with the color of the tourmaline on the tourmaline hairpin with silk moiré pattern, it is very eye-catching.
"Ling Dang really appreciates the princess's kindness, but..." Ling Dang still declined.
"Okay, okay, speaking of which, I am still your mistress. How dare you not listen to what my mistress says? Tomorrow you just dress up and follow me into the palace!" Ruimin said.
Let Bell carry the clothes and jewelry down.
Lingdang was reluctant and had no choice but to bow and retreat.
Putting the clothes and jewelry on the bed, Lingdang sighed quietly. She already wanted to avoid that person, but she still couldn't. What should she do?
Ling Dang was worried about how he would not have to enter the palace, while on the other side, Hua Lin was worried about how he could enter the palace.
The night is getting darker, and the moon hanging in the sky outside is about to become full. Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. In the afternoon, Hua Qi and Xu Yunxi will go to the palace for a banquet. However, Hua Xiaotang's place
Still no movement at all.
"Biyun, haven't my brother and sister-in-law come over today?" Hua Lin couldn't bear it any longer and called the maid in again without giving up and asked.
Biyun, who was resting outside the room door, quickly got up and came in, replying: "Miss, no!"
Hua Lin sighed anxiously.
Biyun looked at the sky and advised: "Miss, it's almost the third watch, it's time for you to have a rest!"
"Okay, okay, you go out to sleep and leave me alone!" Hua Lin waved his hand irritably and drove Biyun out.
Biyun had no choice but to go out quickly and closed the door for her again.
Hua Lin walked around the room irritably and didn't even close his eyes all night.
When he woke up in the morning, although he went to the banquet in the afternoon, Xu Yunxi had already started to clean up, first taking a bath with incense.
"Madam, you are pregnant now. You should not take a bath for too long, just half an hour!" the mother-in-law who was waiting for Xu Yunxi warned, and after waiting for Xu Yunxi to get into the bathtub and sit down, she withdrew.
Sitting in the bathtub, Xu Yunxi was scrubbing her body with water of moderate temperature while thinking about the kind words she wanted to say for Hua Lin. While she was scrubbing, she heard a sudden noise from the door. She was startled and quickly got up.
The door suddenly opened, and a black raccoon cat rushed in, and rushed straight to her belly.
With a scoff, Xu Yunxi immediately had three scratches on his stomach. At the same time, Xu Yunxi slipped and fell into the tub.
"Oh, madam!" The mother-in-law who had been waiting outside the door heard the strange noise in the house and rushed in. When she saw the scene in front of her, she was immediately frightened. She quickly stepped forward to help Xu Yunxi up.
At this moment, the servants in the courtyard heard the sound and rushed over.
"Mom Yu, close the door, and there are my clothes!" Xu Yunxi shouted quickly.
Yu Ma immediately closed the door, then took some clothes for Xu Yunxi, but when she saw the red color in the tub, she stood there stupidly.
"Husband... Madam..." The mother-in-law was so frightened that she could not speak.
Xu Yunxi stroked her belly, tried her best to endure it, and whispered, "Quickly put some clothes on for me, and then go find the doctor!"
The mother-in-law quickly stepped forward to put clothes on Xu Yunxi.
Because he had to attend a palace banquet in the afternoon, Hua Qi came back early. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the palace, he heard the housekeeper say that something had happened to Xu Yunxi, and he hurried to the room.
In the room, Xu Yunxi was lying with a pale face. After the doctor took his pulse, he shook his head.
"Doctor, what's the matter?" Hua Qi happened to come in, glanced at Xu Yunxi first, and asked quickly.
"Master Hua, I'm afraid this child can't be saved!" The doctor sighed, "Madam was frightened and fell again..."
Before the doctor finished speaking, Xu Yunxi cried softly.
Hua Qi was also stunned on the spot.
