The warm fragrance of chrysanthemums permeated the entire palace. With the cold weather at the end of autumn, the chilling atmosphere became more and more obvious, and the coral fruits outside the palace became more and more red and as bright as fire.
"Are you going to see the seventh elder brother or the eighth elder brother?" Seeing Wanjing come back, Wenxi put down the blue and white porcelain tea cup with lotus pattern in her hand and asked slowly.
Wan Jing spoke softly and said with a smile: "Jing'er has gone to pay her respects to Concubine Cheng."
Wen Xi made a sound and said: "I have no intention of getting involved in this matter, nor did I ask Concubine Yi to punish Guo Luoluohua. Do you know the reason?"
A faint smile hung on Wan Jing's fair cheeks, and her dimples were sweet and charming, "Yes, Jing'er knows what my aunt is thinking."
Wen Xi hummed, "A mere Guo Luo Luo Hua can only fight head-on, and she doesn't see if the other party will give her a harder blow. It's not enough. If you can't even deal with a Guo Luo Luo Hua, how will you deal with your husband in the future?"
Where are the concubines who are full of tricks?"
Wan Jing's face showed a certain kind of determination, and she said: "Aunt, Jing'er doesn't think this matter has anything to do with the Barda family. Just like when Jing'er entered the palace, she may not be as peaceful as she seems on the surface."
Wen Xi was noncommittal and knew: "You can just make up your own mind." However, Kangxi Yujia was about to return to the palace. Before that, he had to finish what he had to do, and he couldn't make a big fuss and cause unpleasant rumors.
Wan Jing has always been measured and gentle, so she doesn't say much.
In the evening, when the sky was dark, Wen Xi kept the little pomegranate who came to pay her respects for dinner, and Yu Ludai also came to accompany her. Xiao Pitao had short arms and could only rest in Wen Xi's arms. Wen Xi sandwiched a soft bean flour dumpling.
Give the peach cake to the little peach, and say nothing while eating and sleeping. This child is already quite well-behaved.
Wan Jing had not come back yet, so she sent her maid Lu Shao back to report that she could not come back to accompany her for dinner and would come back a little later.
After dinner, Xiao Shiliu asked: "I went to Xiefang Palace today. Brother Qi asked his son where cousin Wanjing had gone. My son was also wondering, why didn't Sister Wanjing go to Brother Qi today? Or was it?
Do you want to pay your respects to Concubine Cheng?"
Wen Xi smiled faintly and said: "Who knows? Your sister Jing is not a child anymore. She has her own plans for what she does." Wen Xi naturally knows where Wan Jing has gone. She was benefited early in the morning.
Concubine Hui invited her to go, and Concubine Hui left some food at noon. She went out not long after returning in the afternoon. She has not come back until now.
Concubine Hui is the adoptive mother of the eighth prince, and she must have responded to the request of the eighth prince. After all, the eighth prince is now considered to be a member of the eldest brother's party. If she can marry a good fortune,
It’s also good for my elder brother.
Xiao Pomegranate drank a cup of honey tea, and then said: "On the school grounds, I think I heard Brother Nine and Brother Eight tell me that Sister Wanjing went to the Palace of Concubine Yi in the afternoon."
"Oh?" Wen Xi said with a hint of doubt. Was she going for Guo Luoluo Lihua?
Little Pomegranate continued: "Then after Bage heard the report from his slaves, he said he had a stomachache and left the school grounds. Bage has always been diligent and not like Tenth Brother. The riding and archery master didn't think that Bage would pretend, so he let him go.
I didn't come back all afternoon."
Shaoqing then heard Xiaoluzi coming in from outside and reporting in a low voice: "Over there at my elder brother's house, the seventh elder brother's concubine Fu Jin has seen a red face."
Wen Xi's heart trembled slightly. But why did Wan Jing take action? Her target was not Guo Luo Luo Hua, but the child in Barda's belly?
Xiaoluzi said again: "Fortunately, the child of Barda's concubine Fujin was saved, and Wanjing Gege came to make peace with him, otherwise the Seventh Master would never let Guo Luoluo Gege go! Even so, the Seventh Master would still do it in front of so many people.
In human face, I slapped Guo Luoluo Gege twice, and said that such a sly-hearted woman was not worthy of being a royal wife, so she didn’t have to think about it!"
Wen Xi pondered secretly, and waved her hand to Xiaoluzi to welcome Wanjing back early. The night was getting dark now, and the autumn night was cold, so it would be better not to catch the cold wind.
What happened today was not a trivial matter. Wen Xi found out as soon as she inquired about it. It turned out that for some reason Guo Luoluoge went to his elder brother's house and actually started a fight with the Barda family. Fortunately, Wan Jing accompanied Qi.
The elder brother went back early and found that Mrs. Barda, who had been pushed to the ground by Guo Luoluo, had seen red and hurriedly summoned the imperial doctor to save the child in her belly. In front of the seventh elder brother, Mrs. Barda naturally had a crush on Wan Jingqian.
Thank you so much, although I saved the baby, it was due to fetal miscarriage and I have to take good care of it.
Wanjing came back a little late, but it was Brother Seven who brought her back in person. There were some blood stains on her clothes, and she was wearing Brother Seven's favorite navy blue cloud-dragon-patterned cloak. She entrusted Wanjing to Wenxi's care.
On the other hand, he said: "Thanks to Jing'er for taking care of Barda's family today, otherwise the child would have been..." After all, it is the seventh elder brother's child. He said it now with some lingering fear.
Wan Jing only smiled faintly, with a bit of tranquility and virtuousness, and said: "Liuhua Gege was just impulsive. Seventh Brother, don't take it to heart."
At the mention of Lihua, the Seventh Brother's brows were filled with anger, but he still suppressed it and said with a gentle look on his face: "You have a good rest, I will come back tomorrow to take you out of the palace."
Wan Jing will leave the palace tomorrow, and she has indeed finished all the things she needs to do in one day. Wen Ru secretly approves, Wan Jing must have learned some of the essence of the center of mass, otherwise she would not be so neat, but it is a pity
, Barda's fetus was still saved.
Wen Xi was not in a hurry to ask, but first asked Wan Jing to go down and change into clean clothes. After freshening up, she took her into the Nuan Pavilion and asked for hot milk tea, and then asked for all the details.
Wan Jing only smiled faintly, "Guo Luoluohua is stupid. Since he was used by Barda twice before, it is not difficult to be used by Jing'er. Jin and Guo Luohua dared to mess with me in Changchun Palace. Now,
It’s quite expected to do something like this.”
Wen Xi nodded and took a sip of the slightly scalding milk tea. The aroma of the tea was well blended with the flavor of the milk. When it's cold, drink one before going to bed at night and sleep with a warm stomach.
It was comfortable to sit there. Looking at Wan Jing's calm and peaceful appearance, she said warmly: "It's just a pity that there is nothing wrong with Barda."
Wan Jing sighed slightly and said: "She is fine because Jing'er had no intention of harming the child in her belly. Otherwise, she would not have led Seventh Brother back so early."
Her gentle hand moved slightly, and the teacup she held in her hand suddenly rippled. She hurriedly asked: "Why? This is a rare and good opportunity!"
Wan Jing couldn't bear it, and said: "Although Jing'er is jealous, that is the seventh elder brother's child after all! This is not the original Jin family, and the seventh elder brother doesn't care. Although the seventh elder brother doesn't like the Barda family very much,
, I still like this child after all! Jing'er doesn't want to make Brother Seventh sad again."
Wen Xi lamented slightly. The heart of a woman who has been moved will become softer. Even if she tries her best, she is still unwilling to hurt the person in her heart. Wen Xi couldn't help but remind her: "But Barda is now a concubine.
If you get a son in one fell swoop, you may be promoted to Chou Fujin in the future! Chou Fujin is also a member of the imperial ultimatum, and she can be considered half of the royal daughter-in-law!"
A smile appeared at the corner of Wan Jing's lips and she said, "She won't have that chance!" Wan Jing Yu's fingers hooked the broken hair around her ears, with a smile on her jade-like face, "Concubine Cheng promised me,
Regardless of whether Barda gives birth to a boy or a girl in the future, he will be raised by his future direct descendant Fujin himself. Therefore, she will not be promoted to her position."
Wen Xi felt a little relieved and said, "Since we have an agreement with Concubine Cheng, we must stay away from the eighth prince."
Wan Jing nodded and said: "Jing'er knows that after leaving the palace, she will concentrate on learning etiquette and will not go out again before the draft."
Wan Jing's heart is with the seventh elder brother, but she still won't choose the eighth elder brother. Moreover, Cheng Fei must have seen the seventh elder brother's feelings for Wan Jing, and was afraid that such a good wife would fly away, so she did this
Promise. With the promise of becoming a concubine, it is more effective than the promise of the seventh prince, so Wenxi can naturally trust her. However, Zhongxin is optimistic about the eighth prince... Will the eighth prince really give up?
Wan Jing looked at Wen Xi with a look of pleading: "Jing'er will naturally try to stay as far away from the eighth elder brother as possible, but she just asked her aunt to ask the eighth elder brother to give up the idea. Jing'er doesn't like the seventh elder brother's misunderstanding."
Wen Xi thought for a moment and said, "It's not difficult at all. Just feel at ease."
Wan Jing suddenly showed a somewhat relaxed look on her face and said: "The Eighth Prince is naturally also very good. He is talented in literature and military skills, gentle and elegant. Today, when Jing'er had a quarrel with Guo Luoluo Lihua in the palace of Concubine Yi, it was still...
He came running to save me."
Wen Xi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a scar on Wan Jing's wrist exposed under her sleeves. She hurriedly pulled her hand to see, "What's going on?"
Wan Jing, however, didn't care and said lightly: "If you want to tame a wild dog to bite people according to your own wishes, it is inevitable that you will be bitten accidentally."
Wen Xi hurriedly and carefully opened her sleeves and took a closer look. Sure enough, it was a whiplash injury. She couldn't help but get angry, "She is too presumptuous!"
But Wan Jing smiled and said: "Of course you are so reckless, you dare to hit a pregnant woman with a whip, what else can you not dare to do? Or maybe the eighth prince arrived in time and stopped her, she ran away angrily, then I knew
She went to find trouble with the Barda family." Then Wanjing didn't even have time to get the medicine, so she went to find the seventh prince to save the Barda family.
Wan Jing added: "She didn't dare to whip the whip at Jing'er. It was just a threat. What's more, the eighth elder brother came. So she ran to where he was beating the Barda family. Jing'er was the one
At that time, she took a beating for Barda. However, Barda was hit with a whip on his neck. Jing'er saw that Guo Luoluo was beaten so hard that she was afraid that Barda would be left with an ugly scar for the rest of his life.
"
Wen Xi couldn't help but worry: "You should stay away from her from now on, so as not to harm yourself. She is so uncultured, she dares to be violent in the palace, and she is not afraid of offending the noble!"
Wan Jing hummed and said, "Jing'er just wants to use her hands to teach Barda a lesson. Naturally, she will stay away from Guo Luo Luo Hua in the future."
In this way, after all, nothing serious happened. Wen Xi asked someone to give Wanjing some medicine, and then asked her to rest in Yuludai Hall.
