Chapter 196 196
When Concubine Rui was eating closed doors in the Shou Palace, King Rui returned to his palace and wanted to ask the Princess to give Prince Gong more expensive medicinal supplements, but learned that Concubine Rui had gone out, so he went to the third home.
Rui Wang was puzzled and couldn’t figure out what the princess was going to do there. After playing with the two daughters for a while, the princess Rui came back.
The nurse took the two little princesses down, and King Rui stared at Princess Rui and asked strangely.
Concubine Rui pursed her lips and sat beside him and said, “The fourth brother’s arm is injured. I want to discuss with the third brother and sister how to relieve Mulan.”
King Rui frowned. On the way to the fourth house today, the emperor father asked the third child about Song Jianing’s baby, and that the third child was all well, and then explained that he had concealed it from Song Jianing for the time being. The emperor nodded in agreement and hoped. Have another fat grandson.
“She is about to give birth. Keep this secret beforehand. Don’t talk too much. Something really happened. The third child must blame us.” Rui Wang said.
Princess Rui didn’t dare to expose her cautious thoughts directly. She pulled the veil and deliberately sighed and tentatively said: “I just hope that the three younger siblings will be able to give birth to a son smoothly, and make the father happy.”
Rui Wang’s heart moved slightly. Four of their brothers, only the eldest brother gave birth to two sons, all of whom were confined in Nangong. The father is getting older and older, and his grandson is looking forward to the prosperity of the descendants of the Zhao family. Although the third child is stuttering, he can speak five words now. He is more and more stable in the court. The father has repeatedly praised him, just in case. The third child really gave birth to a son, which offset his mouth disease…
What if he doesn’t have a problem with his mouth, he hasn’t given birth to a son, because he has no descendants!
Rui Wang was suddenly upset, and for the first time, he regarded the third child as a threat.
He can’t control the belly of the third wife, but…
Looking at the princess on the opposite side, thinking that Chen Xiu was pregnant and that Zhang had not been pregnant for so many years after being favored, Wang Rui’s eyes were slightly cold, and when the day came, he picked up the princess Rui and went to give birth to a son in the inner room. Moreover, King Rui felt that his princess was still very capable of giving birth, but he had too little pampering before, which delayed things. Now there is only the third threat, and he can’t lose to his son.
For the whole day, King Rui stayed with Concubine Rui.
For several days, Princess Rui was the only favorite, and she was very moisturized. She was usually pressed by Chen Xiu and Zhang’s family. Now the scenery is beautiful. Princess Rui has to call Chen Xiu and Zhang’s family to the main courtyard, and then put on the gift of Rui Wang’s reward. The hosta spoke to the two concubine rooms. Zhang’s favor had left Chen Xiufen for the most part. She gradually became accustomed to this sorrow and tolerated silently. Chen Xiu had been in the mansion for a short time, and now she was pregnant again. Of course she refused to be suppressed by Princess Rui.
The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, Chen Xiu led Rui Wang to her yard with the excuse of her stomach discomfort.
In the evening, Rui Wang naturally rested here.
When the husband and wife were in the same bed, Chen Xiu leaned against Rui Wang’s chest and moved his little hand down little by little. Rui Wang was worried recently. Chen Xiu had a big belly again. He was not in the mood. He held Chen Xiu’s hand and patted: “Go to sleep, don’t be tired.”
Chen Xiu couldn’t help being disappointed. If he couldn’t serve a man, his love would fade away. She propped up her chin, draped the green silk, and watched Rui Wang quietly with her beautiful eyes. Seeing Rui Wang frowned, Chen Xiu asked suspiciously: “What is the Lord worrying about?”
Rui Wang is in the position of troubled prince. He, the emperor father, did not know what he thought. When he liked the eldest brother, he was so partial to the eldest brother, and he did not make an order to canonize the prince. The emperor father would also treat his eldest brother without establishing a prince.
If you don’t become a prince, Rui Wang will be unable to feel at ease.
Chen Xiu couldn’t think of that far, but she knew that Da Zhou had lost again in this crusade against the Liao, and the old general who was able to fight well was dead, and a few cities were lost. Recalling that the battle report came to the capital, the most talked about by his own prince was that he was afraid that the emperor could not bear it and that the people would fall to the emperor. Chen Xiu thought for a while and asked softly: “The prince, are you worrying about the gossip of the capital?”
King Rui’s eyes turned, seeing a sly light floating in Chen Xiu’s eyes, he said, “So what?”
Chen Xiu smiled, resting his shoulder on his shoulders and said softly: “I am a woman in the house and don’t understand the major events of the court, but I remember that the last time the Northern Expedition was defeated, the people accused the emperor and my grandfather made suggestions for the emperor… Wen and martial arts, grandfather knows the emperor best, knows what the emperor is worried about, and knows how to relieve the emperor’s worries. Why not, I am going to edit a book and ask grandfather about it?
King Rui’s eyes lit up, yes, why did he forget the old fox Zhao Pu? Zhao Pu left Beijing because everything went well with his father at that time. Zhao Pu’s stay in the capital would only weaken his father’s prestige. Now that his father has asked for something, Zhao Pu, the veteran of the two dynasties, naturally has the opportunity to make merit. As long as he has a few words for Zhao Pu in front of his father, and Zhao Pu returns to the court, will he not return his favor? After all, he is Zhao Pu’s grandson-in-law.
“You, you, you are my lucky star.” Raising Chen Xiu’s chin, Rui Wang kissed happily. However, the fourth child was slumped by the shock, and the father was worried about internal and external troubles. I was afraid that he would not listen to him recommending capable ministers. A careless person would suspect that he was taunting… Holding Chen Xiurou’s boneless little hand, Rui Wang was slow. Slowly get an idea, wait, wait until the fourth child regains some energy, or the third child has a son, he will mention it again.
Of course, it is best for the fourth child to cheer up and the third child to continue having daughters.
At this moment, Rui Wang finally had a close relationship with his princess.
But the King Gong, who was missed by the King Rui, didn’t cheer up and kept himself in the chamber all day long.
Li Mulan knew everything, but she was full of misery, and her grandfather who died tragically in her mind, really did not have the energy to comfort and encourage her husband who was abandoning herself at home. But no matter how deep the grief is, it will slowly settle. On the eve of her grandfather’s burial, Li Mulan is ready to talk with her husband.
As night fell, Li Mulan returned to the palace, but saw the upper room in darkness without a lamp.
“When did the prince sleep?” Li Mulan asked the manager in a low voice.
The steward looked at the upper room, shook his head and said with emotion: “Back to the princess, the prince would not allow us to go in and light the lights at all. The room has been dark, and we don’t know whether the prince slept or not.” The Li family man died on the battlefield. There is no son and grandson guarding the spirit, the princess and the grandfather and grandson of the old general are deeply affectionate, because guarding the spirit has not returned to the palace, he can understand, but the prince is really pitiful.
“Is the prince available for food?” Li Mulan asked again after a moment of silence.
“I didn’t move a bit.” The manager said truthfully.
“Prepare food.” Li Mulan directly ordered this time, with a firm tone, as if he was certain that King Gong would eat.
After speaking, Li Mulan strode into the hall and headed straight to the inner room.
The room was dark, Li Mulan personally palmed the lights, one by one, and the room soon lit up. Putting down the Huozhezi, Li Mulan looked up and saw there was only a bulging quilt on the bed, not King Gong. Li Mulan stared at the quilt group and found that the quilt group buckled together regularly, distressed like her, but suddenly wanted to laugh.
Prince Gong, he is still that Prince Gong indeed.
People cannot be resurrected from death. She should be proud of her grandfather and continue to mourn for her grandfather’s death. Grandfather is alive in the sky and will not be grateful for her filial piety, but will only call her pedantic. She couldn’t keep her grandfather away, but King Gong was still alive. The man who saved her a knife and lost an arm for her is the new hero in her life after her grandfather.
“Zhao Yuanjun.” Li Mulan said calmly when she reached the bed.
Under the quilt, King Gong was stunned. He became disabled. He thought that out of guilt and sympathy, Li Mulan would respect him more than before, or out of touch, deliberately learn from other women’s gentle service to him, even if he would think that he was useless, but how about King Gong? Unexpectedly, Li Mulan called him by his first name.
Prince Gong couldn’t remember the last time someone called his name, when it was.
Being in a trance, the quilt on his body was suddenly lifted and exposed to the light. Prince Gong subconsciously wanted to block his eyes, but he just shook the remaining right arm. His arm and his hand were gone. The whole body was stiff, Prince Gong suddenly smiled, turned to the inside with a smile, smiled, stopped abruptly, closed his eyes and said: “You go, I’m sleepy.”
Li Mulan did not leave, sat next to him, looked at the man’s indifferent profile and asked: “Zhao Yuanjun, protect me from the knife, can you regret it?”
It’s all about not being gentle, but still doubting his heart? His arms are gone, she still doubts his heart?
“Get out! If I would regret it, you died early…”
King Gong sat up abruptly and roared at Li Mulan with red eyes. However, no matter how angry he was, he could not curse her to death cruelly. He only panted heavily, his chest rising and falling.
The man lost an arm, did not eat or drink, and his handsome face was almost skinny. Li Mulan almost shed tears, but she controlled it and looked straight into the bloodshot eyes of King Gong and asked: “Since you don’t regret it, then you don’t want to see me because you are afraid that I will despise you? So before I despise you, you should distance yourself. I?”
Prince Gong was silent, then turned around and sat with his back to her.
The tears of forbearance finally fell, Li Mulan quickly wiped it away, took a deep breath, and said nonchalantly: “I hated you. At that time, you had a sound limb, a handsome man with seven feet, martial arts inferior to me, equestrianism inferior to me, except for the lord’s. Identity, you are inferior to an ordinary frontier soldier in my eyes.”
Wang Gong clenched his fists, breathing hard, Li Mulan heard clearly.
“But from the day you gave up the comfort and glory of the capital and went out side by side with me, I decided to give you the respect that a passionate man deserves. From the moment you let me save my grandfather regardless of safety, I decided , I want to be a real husband and wife with you, with one heart and one mind, and never abandon life or death.”
Prince Gong raised his head and wept silently.
Needless to say, he also felt the changes in her, but before he could fully appreciate the feeling of being together as husband and wife, he…
Suddenly there was a pair of arms around his waist, and Wang Gong was stunned.
Li Mulan hugged his waist, pressing his forehead against his shoulders and said: “The man injured on the battlefield is a strong hero, and a hero who is injured but still vigorous is a man of indomitable spirit. Zhao Yuanjun, if you want to hide for a lifetime, I will accompany you to hide, but I like to see your high spirits. I think my future child can tell everyone aloud that his father is a man.”
Prince Gong was biting his lip, but his shoulders were shaking uncontrollably.
Li Mulan held him tighter.
Prince Gong bit his left arm and didn’t want to cry, but he really couldn’t help it anymore. Unwilling to be ashamed, he choked and scolded her: “Say, so many are useful for ass, married for three years, and can raise a pig. After three nests, you don’t even have an egg…” You will **** him off and coax him nicely.
Li Mulan released her hand silently, watching Wang Gong’s side face, she turned her head and said to the front screen: “You have it, don’t lose it.”
What?
King Gong turned around in disbelief. She, what did she just say?
“I’m hungry, let’s eat.” Li Mulan got up to leave.
“Wait!” Prince Gong wanted to arrest her in a hurry, “There is a kind of you say it again?”
He heard it, she said he had eggs, a woman actually said such vulgar words!
Li Mulan had already walked to the screen, and when she heard the words, she turned her head and said blankly: “The prince will eat the meal first, and I will tell you afterwards.”
Prince Gong gritted his teeth.
That night, Lord Gong, who had not stayed behind closed doors for many days, finally left the house and gulped for dinner.
The next day, Wang Gong and his wife went to support the coffin for General Li. The people crowded the streets, and Wang Gong held his head high and looked at the blue sky.
The Li family has no sire, and there will never be a sire son-in-law.
