The little Marquis’ favorite: Madam, she is the richest in the world

But before Meng Xian could say a few words, there was a knock on the door of the box, interrupting their conversation.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Heng's personal bodyguard Baili led a middle-aged man who looked like a butler in. In a few words, he explained the reason for the matter.

Princess Ning, Jiang Lingyi, had just started to move and had already been sent to the delivery room;

Normally, having already given birth once, the second union should be much smoother;

But this time, for some unknown reason, the princess was in extra severe pain. Now that the prince was not around, she thought of calling Jiang Heng to accompany her.

Jiang Heng frowned slightly at the words of the palace steward, "You said Xiao Qiyu is not here, where are the others?"

"The prince was recently ordered to investigate a case of fraud in the imperial examination. Recently, it was the critical time to close the case. He left the house early in the morning and disappeared without a trace. The old slave did not know where to look for it."

Not caring about anything else, Jiang Heng turned around to leave, but saw Meng Xian next to him.

Meng Xian was extremely magnanimous and easy to talk to, "You go quickly, a woman suffers extremely hard during childbirth, and the princess must be scared. It would be good for you to accompany her so that she can forgive her."

That was his dear sister, so he couldn't ignore her.

"Meng Xian, I owe you a word, and you owe me a word."

"I will find another time to talk to you in detail, but there is only one thing - I promise that none of the things you are worried about will happen."

He solemnly told her this, and then hurried away with the people around him.

After everyone left, Chun Xiangti came in carefully from the outside with her skirt slipping on, "Girl, what happened?"

"Why did everyone leave all at once?"

Meng Xian leaned back lazily and said, "Princess Ning is about to give birth. As the younger brother, the prince naturally has to go over and keep an eye on her to feel relieved."

"makes sense."

Quietly closing the door, the well-informed little girl couldn't help but talk to her girl about the rumors and gossip she had heard, "Girl, I heard that the case that His Highness Prince Ning was recently ordered to investigate was very involved. It seems to be related to our eldest master."

Meng Xian was peeling an orange, "Is it related to uncle?"

"Yes, I heard that a disciple of a great master wrote excellent articles, but he failed to pass the imperial examination last time. The same happened to several talented people in the same field."

"So these scholars jointly petitioned the Grand Master's house. On the surface, they said they wanted the Grand Master to point out the shortcomings. In fact, they used this to show that there is a big problem with the top three this time."

Well, who can not gossip?

Even if it’s something that has nothing to do with you.

Meng Xian felt a little hungry after listening, so she asked the kitchen to serve some food and wine. She and Chunxiang, the master and servant, talked while eating.

"According to what you said, they were looking for the uncle. How come it was His Highness Prince Ning who finally started investigating?"

"Do you have a good relationship with His Highness Prince Ning?"

Chunxiang: "This servant doesn't know either. As for why Prince Ning got involved, of course it's because... he got involved."

The little girl was very thoughtful and didn't say it out loud, but deliberately made a look.

Meng Xian understood and lowered his voice: "Prince?"

"Yes, it is said that the top three this time are all officials' children from the prince's party. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that there is something wrong at a glance. His Highness Prince Ning and the prince have been fighting openly and secretly for these years, how can they let go of this great opportunity?"

Things became more and more involved and the relationship became more and more complicated. Meng Xian gradually lost interest.

Seeing her lack of interest, Chunxiang joked: "The girl seems to be in a good mood. Could it be that she was having a great time chatting with the prince?"

"It's not good to be unhappy. I haven't said anything yet. That guy is unpredictable. He looks like he has a chance to win everything."

The more Meng Xian thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't hold it in any longer. "Chunxiang, can you tell my attitude towards Jiang Heng based on your intuition alone?"

Chunxiang said without hesitation: "Of course, girl, you should like Prince Jiang very much, right?"

"..."

Meng Lian tried to struggle, "You, how did you see that?"

"If you don't like him, why would you be willing to have so much contact with the Crown Prince? You have never had so much patience with Young Master Cui in the past."

"Moreover, the way you look at the Crown Prince is different from others."

"What's the difference?"

Meng Xian was really curious because she had never realized this herself.

Chunxiang tapped her chin with her index finger and thought seriously for a moment, "I can't say for sure. I just think that when you are with the crown prince, your eyes are bright and you always smile."

"The whole person is gentle and gentle, and a little bit delicate, which is very different from your usual."

"!!!"

Meng Xianpi grinned with a smile, "What do you mean? Aren't I usually gentle and don't smile at you?"

"...Miss, you are usually very resolute and fast-moving, but the clerks in the store are actually quite afraid of you." Chunxiang, an honest child, couldn't help but reveal what was in her heart.

Meng Lian: "..."

Suddenly I didn't want to say anything.

-

As soon as Jiang Heng stepped into the backyard of the palace, Prince Ning also rushed back without stopping.

"Why are you back now? Don't you know that my sister is due to give birth in the past few days?"

Xiao Qiyu returned home from the dust, still breathing slightly, "How could I not know that I have no choice but to get out of my way?"

"How is the progress? If this imperial examination fraud is not handled properly, it will shock the hearts of scholars all over the world. Your Majesty should know whether this matter is more serious than that of the useless prince."

"How could my father not know that the prince has no virtue and incompetence? It's just that he has the title of eldest son. If there is no big mistake, he will be easily dethroned."

Jiang Heng crossed his arms and said coldly: "So, isn't this big mistake coming?"

"As long as the evidence is solid, I don't see what excuses those guys can use to protect that loser this time!"

Xiao Qiyu's eyes were already fixed in the direction of the delivery room, and his mind was no longer on his good-for-nothing brother.

"Why has there been no movement from your sister's side for so long?"

Jiang Heng really didn't understand this kind of thing, "What kind of news do you want to make?"

"..." Xiao Qiyu glanced at him as if he were a fool, and then said in a considerate tone, "Look at my memory, you have no experience, so naturally you don't understand."

Jiang Heng vaguely felt that he was offended again, "You are a father and you are great, but don't look down on others."

"You just took advantage of being older than me and getting married earlier. Look how powerful you are."

Xiao Qiyu did not hide his pride at all, "I heard your tone of voice was quite angry. Why, did you get on your nerves?"

"I don't really want to talk to you now, so shut up as soon as possible." Jiang Shizi said arrogantly.

Facts have proved that Xiao Qiyu's experience is indeed quite good.

After a while, there was movement in the delivery room. First, the maids came in and out in an orderly manner, bringing out basins of blood-colored water;

Then, Jiang Lingyi's cry of pain was heard.

Jiang Lingyi gave birth to Xiao Xun in the fiefdom. Jiang Heng had never witnessed it with his own eyes, so he never knew that a woman's childbirth would be so long and painful.

The wailing sounds made Jiang Heng, a man who had been through the bloody storm, feel a little hair on end, "Was it like this when I gave birth to Brother Xun?"

"Most women give birth like this." Xiao Qiyu's eyes were dark and his face was worried.

"After this time, no matter if you are a man or a woman, I will never let Ling Yi suffer this again."

Jiang Heng was surprised when he heard this.

It is impossible to empathize with everything.

But Xiao Qiyu knows how hard it is for his sister,

It is already rare.
