The four guards guarding the gate of the palace looked stern when they saw Yinzhen and Lingruo coming down from the carriage. They straightened their already straight backs, knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Welcome the prince back."
Mansion! We sincerely welcome Ling Fujin back to our home!"
"Get up." Yinzhen waved his hand, and together with Ling Ruo walked into the high vermilion door guarded by stone lions, which represented the prince's dignity.
At that time, Nala was half lying on the imperial concubine's couch with her eyes closed. Lu Yi squatted beside her and gently rubbed her legs. The fine silver charcoal was burning in the charcoal basin, and the earth dragon was burned, making the whole room warm.
In spring, I don’t feel at all that it is already the twenty-eighth of the twelfth lunar month.
"Master, do you think the prince will be able to come back in time? The Chinese New Year is coming in two days. Do you want the master to go into the palace by himself on the first day of the new year to pay greetings to the emperor and Concubine De?" Zai was burning red.
Lu Yi asked softly amidst the occasional beeping sound of the silver charcoal.
Nala opened her eyes slightly, and there was a pot of three-stamen narcissus placed on the small table under the window. The leaves were beautiful and graceful. Smelling the fragrance of flowers that filled the air, she said lightly: "I don't know if you can make it in time or not.
After all, can I still urge the prince to return home as soon as possible? The beauty of the West Lake is unparalleled in the world, maybe the prince wants to celebrate the New Year in Hangzhou."
Lu Yi lowered her head and said angrily: "It's that Niu Hulu family who made trouble out of nothing, and didn't know what kind of delusion she poured into the prince, and actually asked the prince to take her to Hangzhou alone. Humph, she didn't even take a look at her identity.
Is she worthy of traveling to the West Lake with the prince?"
"Whether they are worthy or not is a matter of the prince's own thoughts, and we can't control it. But..." Nala stretched out his hand to support himself on the couch, half straightened his body, and said with narrowed eyes: "Flowers are not as red as a hundred days.
What's more, it's a human being. Today's Long Chong may be a harbinger of a lonely life tomorrow; don't worry, no one can stay proud in front of me forever, let alone her! Didn't I prepare a big surprise for her this time? "
Speaking of this greenery, I couldn't help laughing. It was indeed a surprise. Just as he was about to speak, Sanfu knocked on the door lattice outside and whispered: "Master, the prince is back."
"Oh?!" Nala's spirit perked up. He really said that Cao Cao was about to arrive. He hurriedly said to Luyi: "Hurry up and change my clothes and freshen up. I'm going to pay my respects to the prince. I'll also call Lingxi and Hongshi."
.”
After a while, Nala, who had dressed up carefully, took Shi Shiran, a pair of children named after her, to the Hollow Cloud Kaiyue Pavilion. After entering, she put her hands on her waist and drank to the person sitting on top.
Yinzhen, who was in charge of tea, said, "I would like to pay my respects to the prince. May the prince be blessed."
After her, there were Lingxi and Hongshi. Seeing these two siblings, Yinzhen looked much gentler, beckoned them to his side, asked them about the past few months, and then hugged Hongshi lovingly.
Sit on your knees.
"I have seen my direct descendant, and it is auspicious for me to be blessed." After Nala straightened up, Ling Ruo knelt down and saluted, with a respectful and humble expression.
Nala's eyes flashed, and the next moment he kindly helped her up and said, "Sister, there is no need to be polite. You are not here these days, but I feel a lot lonely. I look forward to my sister's early return every day!"
Feeling the coolness on her fingertips, Ling Ruo smiled and said: "When I am away, I often talk about my direct Fujin. No, I was talking to the prince just now about going to pay my respects to my direct Fujin. Unexpectedly, my direct descendant Fujin arrived first.
It’s really not my place.”
Nala smiled and patted her hand and said: "It's okay, I. Before, I was only worried that you and the prince would not be able to return home in time before the New Year and missed the day of family reunion. Now I can finally relax. How about,
Isn’t Hangzhou beautiful?”
"It's more than just beautiful, it's simply unforgettable. If the prince hadn't been thinking about the approaching New Year and was thinking about coming back to have the New Year's Eve dinner with his nephew Fujin and all the sisters, I would have really wanted to stay in Hangzhou for a few more days." Ling Ruoyanran.
said.
"Is it really so attractive? I have no time tomorrow, so my sister must talk to me carefully." In such a voice, Nala suddenly turned to Yinzhen and said with a flawless smile.
: "While the prince is away, a great event has happened in our house. I must congratulate the prince!"
"What's the matter? Is it possible that someone in our house is pregnant?" Yinzhen was originally saying this as a joke, but Nala was surprised and asked with a strange look: "How could the prince know about this?"
I haven’t mentioned it to anyone.”
Now it was Yinzhen's turn to be surprised. He put down Hongshi and stared at Nala with burning eyes: "Is anyone really pregnant in the house?"
Not only Yinzhen was shocked, but also Ling Ruo. He didn't expect that things would happen by such a coincidence. After a trip, not only Yinzhen's direct descendant Fujin was pregnant, but also the Prince Yong's Mansion. I just didn't know who the pregnant person would be, Nian.
?Or one of several concubines from Fujin? Or maybe Chen Gege and the others?
Just as Ling Ruo was thinking wildly, Nala had already said the answer with a smile on her face, "It's Sister Tong. One month after the prince left, Sister Tong found that Yue Xin had not arrived, so she thought it was Yue Xin's disorder, so she called the doctor.
Let's take a look, but when the doctor came, he checked her pulse and said that Sister Tong is pregnant. Counting the days, it happened to be the last time that the prince summoned Sister Tong."
Tong Jiali falls? It’s her!
Ling Ruo never expected that the pregnant person would be her. The hands hanging down in her sleeves clenched instantly, and Tong Jiali fell... God actually favored her so much, and gave her the chance to survive in this situation.
Chance!
No one knows what this child means better than her. Yinzhen already has a lot of intolerance for Tong Jia, otherwise he would not have just grounded her when he knew she had made a huge mistake; now plus
This child, I'm afraid it will be a matter of time before he is forgiven.
Sure enough, Yinzhen couldn't hide his joy and said: "So, Li Luo is already four months old now?"
"Exactly." Nalash's half-smiling eyes swept over Ling Ruo, who was trying his best to maintain a calm expression, "We will soon have another little brother in our family!"
"Where is Li Luo now, and which imperial doctor is taking care of her fetus?" Yinzhen asked impatiently. Such a look made Ling Ruo's heart sink to the bottom.
Hearing this, Nala sighed quietly and said: "Where else can Sister Tong be? She is in the Lanxin Pavilion. Since the prince banned her last time, she has never taken a step forward.
I stayed in my room copying Buddhist scriptures all day long, and I heard that I have already copied a whole cupboard. The last time I went to see her, I saw that she was not in good spirits and was a little depressed."
Before Yinzhen could speak, Nala suddenly knelt down and said sincerely: "I don't know what mistake Sister Tong has made, and I want the prince to order her to be grounded; but the flesh and blood in my sister's belly at this moment is the most important. If the grounding causes any harm,
My sister is depressed and cannot be relieved, and she has fetal motility, which is not worth the loss, so I boldly ask the prince to release my sister's grounding order."
