Chapter 105 Probing
Huiyun responded happily and snuggled beside Youhuan to watch her painting. Youhuan's simple drawings were very good, and soon. After a while, a noble and beautiful princess appeared on the paper, and there were seven very short dwarfs with different expressions.
"They are so small, they are not as tall as the princess' legs." Hui Yun exclaimed.
"Yes, they are from the villain country and are born short."
Yongqing stopped crying and stretched his neck to try to see what the dwarf looks like. Youhua smiled and waved to her, "Qing'er also comes and see."
The wet nurse carried him over and said to put him on the carpet. Yongqing was awkward on the carpet for a while, but when he saw that no one paid attention to him, he could not resist the curiosity of the dwarf and stood up tremblingly with the kang. His legs could not be stretched out, nor could he use his strength. Standing by the kang, he was like a standing monkey, making people feel sad.
Who would have thought that the "little monkey" in front of him who could not even stand up would later become a general who was in power and frightened by the surrounding countries?
Youzi gave him the painting and patiently told him the name and temperament of every dwarf. Then he began to tell the story. Yongqing stood hard, but the story fascinated him so much that if he sat down, his mother would stop. He held the kang and persevered, and sweated a lot on his body.
During the break in the middle, Yongqing could no longer stand and sat on the carpet, but fortunately there was a wet nurse behind him.
Youzi praised him a lot, and his weak little body tried hard to stand up, and his little face was raised with a proud look.
After telling a few stories, Yongqing always listened to it while standing. Too much is not enough. Youfeng no longer let him stand, let him sit down, and asked Ziyu to massage his legs and arms. Ziyu's mother had a good massage, and Ziyu learned it with her. Ziyu's family also came to the Duke's Mansion as a companion.
In the study room of the outer courtyard, Xiao Fushan said, "The prince will recommend Zheng Xianchang as the guru of Anxi tomorrow. He has good abilities and good character. Even Cheng is not as good as Huang Chengbi. He has been in the Ministry of War for a long time and has no ability to train troops. He is very good at engaging in the camp, and he cannot use it even if he can turn against the water."
King Duan's eyes were red, "Zheng Xianchang? Isn't he just a chief minister? How many levels are there?"
"He was originally a deputy gubernator, but he was demoted after offending Huang Chengbi. The prince just recommended him. If the emperor refuses that his position is too low and cannot bear the great responsibility, he can recommend me to serve as a part-time position. The emperor must think that Zheng Xianchang is more suitable."
Duke Jingguo asked his hand and said, "This idea is good. If you talk about training troops, there is no better person than Duke Rong!"
King Duan stood up and patted Xiao Fushan on the shoulder, "If you serve as the Protector of Anxi Protectorate, plus the 200,000 troops in your hands, do you still want your father to sleep? Let's do this now. Newly married, don't neglect the bride. As long as your military power is still there, your father will not attack you easily, and at most it will be scolded."
Xiao Fushan stood up, "Pei Hongyuan is very good at making a move, so the prince should be prepared in his heart, so that the people below can keep an eye on it."
King Duan felt that he was a little too full of troops, "You look down on him too much. How could he be so capable as a young boy?"
Xiao Fushan said, "After he was recognized back to the palace, he used the pili method. Prince Wei was killed, and Prince Zhongyong was banned. No one who participated in the case of Concubine Zhao back then was allowed to die. Do you think it was King Zhongyong who was targeting me recently? Most of the recent things were his work, and his purpose was to kill me."
King Duan was shocked. He had only recognized him for two or three months, but he had the ability to turn his hands around and turn his hands around. Not to mention that the princess was banned, Prince Wei's accident happened in the palace. How did he reach the palace? There were so many palace maids and eunuchs in the harem, as well as the imperial guards. Pei Hongyuan was not in the palace that day, so how could he let Prince Wei break into Liu Cairen's bedroom smoothly and not be discovered?
Also, Prince Wei died in the imperial prison, so he was afraid that he had an inner responsibility. He had just recognized the prince's mansion at that time, and he actually had these powers in his hand!
King Duan's face became cautious.
He asked in confusion, "What kind of deep hatred can you have? Why would he kill you? It is said that you all have connections with the Cheng family, so you should get close to you."
Prince Ning, who had been drowsy, was energetic, "I didn't expect that Pei Hongyuan was a kind of infatuated person. Duke Rong took care of him."
King Duan and Duke Jingguo savored these words and showed a look of pride on their faces.
Xiao Fushan's face darkened and said to Prince Ning, "You don't have to come here in the future."
Prince Ning hurriedly bowed to Xiao Fushan and claimed the crime, "I haven't woken up, I'm talking nonsense, don't be angry!"
Xiao Fushan looked at him coldly, reached out to ask for help, and went out of the study with Duan Jingguo Duan.
When she walked to the entrance of the alley, she saw Aunt Sun standing timidly on the side of the road, wearing a peach blossom cloud and smoke silk shirt, a smoke and water skirt, and a goose yellow embroidered cloud silk. The thin clothes made her charming figure reveal her curves. She shyly and timidly saluted, her eyes were filled with affection, and her voice was soft, "Dude."
He said with a deep face, "Don't come out and go around if you're okay."
Aunt Sun looked at him pitifully, showing her charming figure intentionally or unintentionally, "I looked at the spring light, so I went out to stroll around, but I didn't want to meet the Duke."
Xiao Fushan knew in his heart that these methods of the inner occupant woman made him disgusted and hated. Thinking of Yongping who died prematurely and the weak Yongqing, his face was covered with haze.
Looking at his sharp and captivating gaze, Aunt Sun was so scared that she was lost. A maid in the mansion wanted to climb into the Duke's bed. The next day, the person disappeared, and no one knew where he went. She bowed properly and said, "I will leave." Then she walked towards the side courtyard in the alley.
Youhua asked the maid to watch the gate of the courtyard and taught Huiyun to jump rope in the courtyard. Huiyun's body was also very thin and needed to exercise more. The two of them were having fun dancing, while Yongqing stood on the side with a chair and watched, giggling from time to time.
Xiao Fushan entered the yard and saw this scene. This was the scene he wanted to see in his dreams. His wife, who was waiting for her to return home, was a healthy and happy child, and a beautiful family.
When the two children saw Xiao Fushan walking into the yard, their smiles disappeared immediately. Huiyun hid behind Youfeng, and Yongqing got into the wet nurse's arms again.
Youzi smiled and went up to meet him, "The Duke is back."
Her hair was tied casually to the back, with sweat between her forehead and blushing on her cheeks, making her look like a child.
Xiao Fushan nodded and went straight into the room. Seeing that there were carpets on the floor and the furniture had been changed, I didn't know what they were doing. The two children were always afraid of him and were very close to her.
At this time, the sun had already set and the two children were sent back to the yard. They were so afraid of their father, so they should not leave them to eat.
Xiao Fushan went into the clean room to take a bath, and the young man told the maids to clean up the room quickly.
Youzi was sweating all over and went to take a shower. Lu Fu wanted to tie her hair up. Xiao Fushan said, "You don't have to pay my respects to your mother tonight. I just walked from the main courtyard."
Youzi dissipated her hair again and took a little clench. Seeing Xiao Fushan staring at her, she uneasyly cleared her throat, "Have you finished your work in the Duke?"
Xiao Fushan said lightly, "It's almost done." He took a gold-plated invitation and handed it to her, "The Zhongyong Palace has sent the invitation here, and Concubine Ning Gui invites you to go to the palace to enjoy the flowers on the sixth day of the lunar month."
He said it casually and calmly, as if he was talking about something irrelevant, but his eyes were always staring at the young man.
Youzi took the invitation and put it on the kang table without looking at it. "I'm already married. This kind of flower-welcoming banquet is always the unmarried young ladies, so I won't go."
Xiao Fushan played with the invitation, "I heard from the manager who sent the letter that Miss Cheng and Miss Cheng Er were also going, but Concubine Ning Gui was in a position to choose a concubine for the prince. You can support them even if you go, and maybe another princess in the Cheng family will be released."
This kind of temptation made her very uncomfortable. She said lightly, "You don't have to test me. The prince wants to choose a concubine, what should I do? Didn't you just say yesterday that you wouldn't let me see the prince? Could it be that I told me to go?"
Xiao Fushan threw the invitation aside, "Just remember. I think you have a temper. You are obviously inappropriate, but you still look confident."
Youzi stared at him, "I said everything you asked me, but you don't believe me and don't come back to sleep at night. Now everyone in the mansion knows that I was alone in the empty room last night!"
Xiao Fushan raised his eyebrows, "It turns out that you blamed me for letting you stay alone in the empty room last night. I kept talking about the matters of the Outer House last night and didn't sleep all night."
It turned out that he was so busy... You Feng's face turned red and explained, "I didn't mean that... You should tell the maid to make me realize it. Today, my mother thought we were quarreling, and I said you have something to be busy."
He also wanted to do this, and to be harmonious with her. He was afraid that her heart would not be with him. He said deeply, "Okay, according to you."
She remembered what the old lady said at Xiemeiting. He suffered so much in his youth, and he felt more distressed, so she was more responsible. She slowed down and said softly, "Mr., my mother and I went to the garden today."
Xiao Fushan said "yes".
Yousheng said softly, "Mother said you were naughty when you were young, and you even stole the fish from the palace and grilled it. I really want to know what you were like at that time, it must be very interesting."
How much hardship did such a naughty and free boy have to endure to become so calm and taciturn now, and still so... violent.
She seemed very sorry that she hadn't seen him when she was young, and he was also sorry that he hadn't met her at that time. A layer of haze that had been in the air seemed to dissipate. He looked at her, "If I had met you at that time, I might have snatched you in the street."
Youzi was amused, "You are doing this now. I still remember what you scared me in the village."
It’s useless for you to be afraid. If I want to do anything, you can’t stop it or escape.
Yanran's smile moved the heart, Qiubo turned to the soul and attracted the soul. He reached out to touch her smile, "It wasn't to scare you at that time, it was the truth."
Youzi looked up at her blankly, "Then what you said in Chongming Temple..."
"If I don't say that, how could you marry me?" He looked at her with a deep eyes.
He was interested in her at that time, and he pleased her. How could it be? He was so arrogant and so domineering and cruel, how could he like someone?
Young man's heart was beating like a drum, a little helpless, and mixed with a hint of sweetness. She felt that she must have blushed. She covered her cheeks with her hands, which was quite like stealing the bell.
I am really strange. I am also a person who has seen the world. Why did a mere confession blush and my heart beat like this?
She secretly cheered herself up, calm down, and calm down, and did not lose confidence in front of him.
But when he looked up at his deep eyes, full of affection, his heartbeat was even more powerful. He was too beautiful, and she was not a person with too much concentration.
She murmured unyieldingly, "Dude..."
Xiao Fushan suddenly picked her up and strode into the bed.
Qu's mother led Lu Fu and Hong Fu to guard the corridor. The yard was quiet and there was no servant walking around. Lu Fu and Hong Fu's faces were blushing, while Qu's mother was secretly worried that the Duke of the Kingdom was very different to the new wife. When her daughter was alive, the two of them were cold like strangers. If the new wife gave birth to children in the future, there would be Yongqing and Huiyun in the mansion? The Duke of the Kingdom didn't like them at all.
Hearing a low voice inside, Qu's mother led the woman to carry water into the clean room.
Dinner was placed in the east room, and Young-Shi was silently eating the dishes in front of her. She hadn't reacted much to Xiao Fushan's feelings for her. During that time, she was not in a good situation and there were so many rumors. Why did he like her? The few times she showed in front of him, she really couldn't be said to be very good. If she had any advantages, it would probably be this good one. Because there were so many people who liked her, she felt that she was moved a little early.
Besides, he didn't say he was happy with her.
Xiao Fushan put the chicken legs in her plate. She was still wandering, poking the chicken legs unconsciously.
Xiao Fushan said indifferently, "Concentrate on eating and don't get distracted."
Youzi looked up at him. He was eating with his head down, but he was still the same as before when he was eating, but soon he was very elegant.
She made an excuse for her absent-mindedness, "I ate some snacks in the afternoon, but now I can't eat them."
"Clean your hands." Xiao Fushan said.
A maid brought a basin of water and towel over. Xiao Fushan washed his hands and took her plate over. He picked up the chicken legs and tore them into thin strips, piled them in the plate, and placed them in front of her.
"Eat all." He said without question.
Young man tried hard to eat the chicken legs on the plate and glanced at him from time to time. He didn't let her serve the dishes, but instead made these things for her. He was a dignified prince who served people, and she felt that it was too unruly.
His considerateness made her a little bit useful, but why did he say so domineeringly...
After using the meal, Young-Shi was holding a rabbit with a velvet cloth on the big kang and chose a beige material for Hui Yun. She was calm and peaceful when she was doing needlework under the lamp, and her face seemed to be covered with a layer of maternal love. She was very nice to her children and thought very hard. In just three or four days, the two children were intimate with her. Is she so good to her children because she couldn't have children? As Pei Hongyuan said, did she marry him because of this?
He sat aside with a book, but his eyes were staring at her. His hands were tightly holding the book, and his eyes were obscure.
Youzi raised his head and saw him staring at him, his eyes as if he was scrutinizing. "Dude?"
Xiao Fushan put down the book, "Doing needlework to hurt your eyes at night, stop doing it, go to bed early." Then he got off the kang and entered the inner room.
Youzi put the needle and thread into the basket, and saw that he had taken off his straight mat, so he went to the clean room to wash up. She followed her in. The soap he used was given to her by the emperor, which was the fragrance of sandalwood. He liked sandalwood very much. Do you think that he had killed too much and that sandalwood could make him feel at ease?
