The autumn wind is getting colder and the autumn mood is getting stronger.
Wen Xi is currently repairing a pot of golden chrysanthemums in Wen Xi Palace. The chrysanthemums are blooming like hydrangeas and are in full bloom. Wen Xi likes such gorgeous chrysanthemums, golden hydrangeas, and pink dressing tables.
The purple clouds and green peonies are both excellent products, and the flower pots are all exquisite painted enamel pots. Wen Xi is arranging the flower branches and watering them by the way.
Wen Xi was worried about Wan Jing's condition, so she called into the palace and asked Lu Tan to follow her so that she could tell her what happened every day. This morning, Wen Xi sent her to pay her respects to Concubine Cheng.
Haven't come back yet.
Wen Xi saw that the weather outside didn't seem to be very good. It was already late autumn, and Kangxi's Luan Yu was also on his way back. In the morning, there was a layer of white frost on the flowers and grass outside. It was cloudy again today, and there was no guarantee that there would be a cold weather.
It's going to rain.
"Send someone to the Changchun Palace to take a look." Wen Xi told Zhu'er. As soon as he said the words, he heard the curtains being opened outside to announce that Wan Jing Ge Ge was back. Wen Xi put down the scissors for pruning the flower branches, washed her hands, and
Go to the main hall and have a look.
There was a strong wind blowing outside, and Wanjing's bun was blown a little loose, and her face was a little blue from the cold. This was not the most important thing, Wanjing was still happy when she went out, and she was really full of joy when she came back.
Hui defeated, as if he had suffered a huge blow.
"What's going on?" Wen Xi asked hurriedly, then pulled Wan Jing to sit next to her, and asked Zhu'er to get a cloak to cover her, "Go and make a bowl of hot ginger soup!
"Even if it's frozen like this, I'm not afraid of getting cold!"
Seeing Wan Jing lowering her head and biting her lips without saying a word, Wen Xi felt something was unusual. She hurriedly stretched out her hand to straighten her messy bangs and asked, "What's going on? Brother Seventh."
Why didn’t I send you back?”
Wan Jing's eyes were filled with sadness, and she said in a low voice: "How could he send me back?..."
Wen Xi couldn't help but look at Lu Tan, who also looked angry, and said in an angry tone: "Seventh Brother's concubine Fu Jin is pregnant!"
Wen Xi was secretly shocked. At this time, it was too much of a coincidence!
Wan Jing couldn't help but have tears in her eyes. Her body gradually started to sob, and she said: "Since he won't come, why do you need me to wait there so hard!"
Green Tan's eyes were filled with fire, and she said: "Seventh Brother has gone too far! I made an appointment with Princess to play chess at the Royal Garden Waterside Pavilion, but I made Princess wait for two hours! No one came, and no one told me!
Just ask Gege to wait patiently in such a cold windy place!"
Wen Xi suddenly felt that something was wrong. It was very cold outside at this time, and the water pavilion was surrounded by water on three sides. The cold was overwhelming. It is naturally cool in summer, but it can be freezing to death in late autumn! How could the seventh elder brother not know why he wanted to date Wan?
Where is Jing going?! He hurriedly asked: "Did Brother Seven personally invite you to go?"
Wan Jing wiped her tears and said, "It's Xiao Lu, the eunuch who is close to Brother Seven, and he said he would be leaving at a quarter past noon."
Wen Xi held Wan Jing's cold little hand and comforted her: "Don't cry yet. It's the coldest place in Shuixe Pavilion. How could Brother Seven ask you to go there? I'm sure someone else tricked you into going there!"
Wan Jing was stunned for a moment, and she figured it out instantly, and asked hurriedly: "Auntie means...it's the Barda family?!"
Wen Xi thought about it and frowned: "She shouldn't be that stupid. Such a lie will be exposed as soon as it is exposed." You raised his head and said, "You don't want to leave the palace today, I'm afraid it will rain later. I
I'll send someone to tell you."
Wan Jing nodded and murmured to herself: "As long as it's not the seventh elder brother."
Wen Xi rolled her eyes and said, "Go and have a rest early. I will ask Hu Yu to make you a bowl of cold-repelling medicine."
After leaving Wanjing to rest, Wenxi looked at the increasingly cloudy weather outside, with a smile on her lips, and told Xiaoluzi: "Send someone to my elder brother's house and tell the seventh elder brother that Wanjing is sick."
He should have finished reading at this time, let's see how anxious he will be.
The seventh elder brother arrived much faster than Wen Xi expected. He came despite the violent storm, and most of his clothes were soaked. He rushed into the palace, forgetting all the etiquette, and shouted: "Your Majesty, Concubine,
How is Jing'er doing?!"
Jing'er? A smile appeared on the corners of her warm lips. When did she even change her title?
Wen Xi only said lightly, but did not answer him. Instead, she asked with concern: "Why are everyone so wet? If Concubine Cheng knew about it, she would definitely feel distressed!" Then she turned around and ordered: "Go and get Brother Seven quickly.
Get a cloak!"
The seventh elder brother was like an ant on a hot pot. He was so anxious that he asked, "Your concubine, is Jing'er seriously ill?!"
Wen Ru's face showed a bit of reproach, "You are serious, it's just that you broke the appointment because Barda was pregnant, why didn't you tell anyone to tell Jing'er, causing her to wait in Shuixie for two or three hours in vain!"
The seventh prince suddenly looked puzzled, "Why did your mother-in-law say such strange things? When did I have an appointment with Jing'er?!"
Wen Xi also had a look of surprise on her face, "What? Didn't you ask Xiao Lu to make an appointment with Jing'er to meet at the old place of Yuhuayuan Waterside Pavilion after noon?"
"Xiao Lu?!" The seventh elder brother suddenly frowned deeply, faintly arousing anger, but then showed a look of infinite worry, "Jing'er, she has been waiting at Shuixie for two or three hours?! Then how is she doing now?
!”
"I've taken medicine and gone to sleep," Wen Xi sighed, "I'm really freezing today, but being cold is the second best thing. I was crying in tears when I came back!"
The seventh elder brother suddenly felt his heart tightening and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please let me go and see Jing'er!"
Wen Xi rebuffed her: "She's just resting, so don't disturb her!"
"I..." The seventh elder brother was speechless, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Please tell Jing'er, your concubine, that it was that dog slave Xiao Lu who falsely passed on me, and I will definitely find out and give an explanation to Jing'er!
" At this point, the anger that was twitching in his brows was suppressed with all his strength, but it could no longer be suppressed.
"Hey! Take an umbrella before you leave -" Before Wen Xi could finish her words, Brother Qi had already rushed out. He came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
Wan Jing quietly walked out from the screen at the back, pinched the corner of her clothes and said: "Aunt, at least I have to buy some clothes for my seventh brother. What should I do if it's cold?"
Wen Xi glanced at Wan Jing and said with a smile: "The fire in his heart is burning. It's time to pour some water to put out the fire." Then she smiled and said: "You're not sad now, are you?"
An abnormal blush appeared on Wan Jing's face, and she said: "It's true, aunt, I'm not sick either, but I'm worrying my seventh brother."
Wen Xi chuckled and said, "If you don't let him worry about you, how about letting him worry about the woman he cares about?"
Wan Jing immediately blushed to the base of her ears and stamped her feet in shame and annoyance: "Auntie!"
Wen Xi straightened her expression and said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Barda has just found out that she is pregnant. The imperial doctor said that the fetal condition is not very stable. Today, the seventh prince has been with her and never left. It can be seen that Xiao Lu is
Got bribed."
After Wan Jing was relieved, she couldn't help but feel slightly sad and said: "If he is born, he will be the seventh prince's first child, and he will definitely be special."
Wen Xi took Wan Jing's hand, sat down on the couch, and asked: "Jing'er, my aunt will ask you again, do you want to marry the seventh elder brother or the eighth elder brother?"
"Of course I like Seventh Brother," Wan Jing blurted out, and then she felt slightly sad, "It's just that although Seventh Brother likes me, he... also likes Barda's concubine Fujin, right?" Wanjing's nose was a little sour, and her eyes were a little sour.
She couldn't help but blush, "It would be great if Brother Qi only liked me!"
Wen Xi could only sigh slightly. Wen Xi could not solve this problem.
Wan Jing sobbed and continued: "A few days ago, the Eighth Prince told me that if I marry her, he will not want a concubine, and even if he has a concubine in the future, it will be useless! I was..." As I said that, I burst into tears.
Water flowed from his eyes, "I almost agreed to him at that time!"
"Eighth Brother, he is really good, very good!" Wan Jing had tears on her cheeks, looking even more pitiful, with a choked tone, "I really thought I might as well be more impulsive and marry him, at least I don't have to be sad!
"
"There are some things that you can only make your own decisions." Wen Xi can't persuade Wanjing to choose the seventh elder brother now. The Barda family is not the Jin family. This child came at the right time. Concubine Cheng already loves her.
, the seventh elder brother also respects her quite a bit, and he is definitely not indifferent to Jin's pregnancy at that time. The seventh elder brother will be seventeen next year, and his temperament is getting more mature, so naturally he hopes to have more sons.
If the Barda family gets a son in one fell swoop, I'm afraid it will be Xi Fujin in the future! The threat to Wan Jing is also huge!
"Auntie can only promise that no matter how you choose, auntie will help you." If Wanjing chooses the eighth prince, it may not be a bad thing. At least no one will dare to compete with her for her husband's favor. History has already happened.
A small deviation may not necessarily lead to a miserable outcome for Eighth Prince!
"I, I..." Wan Jing was speechless, feeling a little moved for a moment, "Auntie!" She threw herself into her warm arms and cried loudly.
The matter was found out the next day. It was originally just a small plot. It was Guo Luoluohua who was just called into the palace by Concubine Yi yesterday. However, it happened that Barda was pregnant, so Wen Xi had to suspect it.
Did she also lend a hand?
When Concubine Yi learned about this, she immediately called Lihua and gave her a lecture, "Didn't I tell you to get closer to the eighth elder brother when you have time? Why did you get involved with the seventh elder brother again?!"
Guo Luoluoliuhua gritted his teeth and said, "Auntie, I'm not willing to give in!" Hatred burst out from his eyes, "The seventh elder brother doesn't look down on me, and I even look down on that cripple of his! But actually, even the eighth elder brother doesn't look down on me.
I know how to please Wanjing all day long! He doesn’t even look at me, he is just the son of a humble maid in Xinzheku! Why do you look down on me?!"
Yi Fei hurriedly covered Lihua's mouth, "How dare you say such nonsense! If Eighth Prince hears it, he will resent you for the rest of his life!"
"Ms. Wei is originally a humble maid of Xinzheku, and I'm not wrong!" Lihua said angrily, "The most irritating thing is that little coquettish fox! She confused the two elder brothers and surrounded her! Humph, she
Just like her shameless adulterous sister, they are both **!"
Although the naughty thing has not been mentioned, it is not a secret in the eyes of some people. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is
