"Now that the marriage has been arranged, the ceremony has been celebrated, and everything is ready, just wait until the new year comes and the marriage between you and the little brother of the Dou family will be held. Life goes by really fast."
"Who says it's not the case? But in Qiuyue's family, we only have one child, Keli, who has not been married. My daughter-in-law has been looking for several matchmakers these days, but she just can't find the right one."
Mrs. Dong was both happy and sad.
My niece is happy to have a good husband.
But her son didn't have a wife yet, so she was worried.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Dong said with relief.
"There is no rush about Keli. My master has told me that we will wait until his scientific examination starts next year before making any plans. The difference between a scholar and a Jinshi is huge. If you can become the Emperor's disciple, you won't be able to find him."
A happy daughter-in-law?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Dong burst into laughter.
Who says it isn't?
Her son's future is now what worries her the most.
So just now I prayed a lot in the temple with great piety.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the sound of horse hooves coming in the distance, and I felt particularly anxious.
When the coachman, Lao Jiang, saw that the visitor was from home, he immediately let out a sigh.
The carriage stopped, Mrs. Dong immediately opened the curtain and said.
"what happened?"
"Madam, there is someone at home."
Mrs. Dong looked strange, they were about to enter the city, why did her family send someone here?
Is there something important?
So he asked the person who came with some worry.
"Something happened at home?"
That man was the Dong family's servant for many years, so he was naturally extremely loyal.
He said quickly.
"Go back to Madam, something has indeed happened. The second master was framed and said that the doctor killed someone. Now his relatives are blocking the door of the house looking for trouble. The old master said to ask the ladies to go to the village outside the city to take shelter and wait for all the dust.
Once settled, I will pick you up and take you home."
His words were not loud, after all, this was official policy.
There were many pedestrians and carriages coming and going.
If others knew about this, it might cause some trouble, so I kept it quiet.
Hearing this, Mrs. Dong's face immediately turned ugly.
Mrs. Dong next to her asked in a panic.
"How is the second master doing?"
"I suffered some minor injuries and have now been sent home to recuperate. The old man is worried about the safety of the ladies, so I ask the ladies to leave quickly to avoid being discovered and causing trouble for you."
Mrs. Dong said immediately.
"Old Jiang, turn around and go to Zhuangzi outside the city."
"yes."
Then he said to the young boy who came on horseback.
"You go to Zhuangzi first and tell the head of the village to gather all the farmers with strength in the fields and surround them around Zhuangzi. No one is allowed to come near. Everything will be done according to the old master's order."
"Yes, madam."
The Dong family has always been kind to farmers and servants.
Therefore, in such a critical moment, we don’t have to worry about anyone betraying us.
After the Dong family's carriage turned around, it ran towards Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city.
The layers of dust and mist kicked up by the horses' hooves made the situation in Shengjing City even more uncertain.
When these unfounded crimes occurred in the family, the palace was still peaceful.
The emperor had a lot of government affairs today, so the second wife, Yunshi, did not see him after entering the palace.
It was also the time for the children to take a lunch break. In Ruiyang Xuan, there were only Lin Wanyi, the second wife Yunshi and Xia An.
As for Qiu Ming, he was always waiting three meters away from the door.
He couldn't listen to what the masters were saying.
Lin Wanyi felt a little uncomfortable these days, so he asked his second wife Yunshi for consultation.
Sure enough, this pulse diagnosis indicated that she was pregnant again.
"Congratulations to the empress, congratulations to the empress, the empress is pregnant."
Xia An on the side was overjoyed. When he looked at his master Lin Wanyi, he was even more excited.
At the same time, I also have some small annoyances.
Why did I stay with my master for so long without noticing this?
Compared to Xia An's excitement, Lin Wanyi seemed to have expected it.
She took her hand back and thought about it for a moment.
It probably happened during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
After all, when she returned to Beijing, she forgot to bring her birth control pills.
No, a happy event is coming.
Reaching out to touch her flat belly, Lin Wanyi didn't know what she was thinking.
Let’s just say I’m happy, I’m also a little happy.
After all, this is her child.
But let’s just say I’m upset, I’m a little upset.
After all, there are four children in the courtyard now, and I don’t know if they can cope with the addition of another.
Since the second prince returned to the palace last time, he took his people and moved to the prince's residence.
There was Aunt Du sitting in charge, accompanied by Xiao Luzi, Yunqi and Yunfei were waiting closely, there were also two young eunuchs helping to run errands, and six guards watching over her.
No matter how worried Lin Wanyi was, she could only follow the palace rules.
But every day I look forward to the opportunity to see the second prince again.
After shaking his head, he said somewhat dumbfounded.
"I just gave away one, and here comes another. I wonder if it will be twins this time? Then I can't bear it anymore."
She is now almost three months pregnant, so Yunshi can diagnose how many children are in her belly.
When she heard what she said, Yunshi smiled lightly and replied.
"Don't worry, there's only one child this time. The pulse is steady and strong. If it's not what I expected, it should be a little prince."
Yunshi always speaks calmly, so since she dares to speak like this, she is 80% or 90% sure.
Hearing this, Lin Wanyi smiled.
As far as she is concerned, she would prefer it if she was a princess.
It's just that the emperor mentioned to her before that he hoped to get another prince, and now he got his wish.
But Lin Wanyi didn't plan to tell the emperor, because she was afraid that if she turned out to be a princess, it would make the emperor think in vain for several months.
However, the princess is also good.
Looking at the way the emperor treated his three daughters, he did not seem to favor boys over girls.
Xia An, who was next to him, also saw Lin Wanyi's thoughts, so he joked.
"Look, my slave, as long as it is the mother-in-law's child, the emperor likes it very much."
Lin Wanyi was a little shy.
But I also think this makes sense.
Anyway, compared to Princess Mingruo and the third prince.
Those in her palace had indeed met the emperor many times.
Therefore, the father's love he receives will naturally be more.
Yunshi was reasoning on the side.
"Don't worry, Madam, everything is fine with the baby. If we only have one baby this time, we can relax a little more. We estimate that the baby will be born in May or June next year, but the weather will be hot by then and I'm afraid of confinement."
You’ll feel a little guilty.”
Lin Wanyi sighed.
Everyone thought she was worried about her confinement period.
