After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

Xia happily brought her little princess to play with Yan Yu.

Yan Yu had not yet finished her confinement. She got out of bed once on the day the emperor came, and after that she continued to lie in bed every day, unable to see the wind or go out.

When Xia came over, Yan Yu was still sitting on the bed reading a book to pass the time.

Confinement is so boring. You can’t eat this or that, you can’t do this or that.

Xia saw that the windows were covered with more translucent gauze. Although the doors and windows of the room were closed to prevent the cool breeze from coming in, the smell inside was not stuffy. Instead, there was a very fresh and delicate fragrance of rose water, which did not feel like the room of a woman in confinement after childbirth at all.

Xia recalled how she suffered a lot during her confinement period. She couldn't take a bath or wash her hair, and she always felt that her body was unclean.

Ningxia took Xia inside to talk to Yan Yu.

Xia walked around the screen and came forward. Yan Yu was half-sitting on the bed, wearing an ivory-white shirt with gold embroidered lotus flowers, and his black hair was scattered behind him. When he saw Xia, he waved and asked her to sit next to him.

Xia smiled and said, "Congratulations to my third sister-in-law and third brother. Where's the young master? I haven't seen what he looks like yet."

The wet nurse quickly brought the baby over for Xia to see.

Xia's eyes widened: "This child is so beautiful, like a girl."

The nurse smiled and said, "It is the best blessing for a boy to have a girlish appearance."

"That's true." Xia nodded in agreement, "What beautiful eyes! I've never seen such a beautiful child."

Yan Yu smiled and said, "Father said so too."

The nurse took the child away, and Xia grabbed a handful of dried longans nearby and started eating: "Have you heard about the Fifth Sister-in-law?"

Yan Yu was still in confinement, and Xiao Chengji didn't let the servants tell her too much about the outside world, for fear that she would have wild thoughts. Yan Yu really didn't know.

Xia raised her eyebrows proudly: "Her mother finally gave birth to a precious son, but before the son grew up, all the illegitimate sons in the family died inexplicably. People say that her mother was cruel and ruthless and disabled her."

Yan Yu knew about this and had heard of it before.

Except for the conflicts over her marriage with Wei Ruxuan, Yan Yu didn't really care about her existence at other times.

Speaking of blind marriage, it is like eating mixed fruits with your eyes closed. You have no idea what you will taste like.

Yan Yu was lucky. Wei Ruxuan planned something for him and he ended up meeting the best.

The conflict between her and Wei Ruxuan is not as serious as the conflict between Xiao Jiashan and Xiao Chengji. The real conflict is the one involving the fight for the throne.

Xia smiled and said, "It's retribution these days. She accidentally dropped her brother to death! People say that the ghosts of the two young masters who died tragically stayed in the Wei family, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on them."

Yan Yu said: "That was her own brother, how could he fall to death? Was it intentional or accidental?"

"It was unintentional. The more unintentional it was, the more retribution it was." Xia was very happy. "She was so cruel to my child at the beginning. Even God couldn't bear it. When her brother died, her mother was almost mad. She doted on her daughter so much, but now she beat her with a stick and called her a jinx. Her father was already ill, and the heirs of the family business all died. Now he is even sicker."

The more Xia thought about it, the more relieved she felt.

At the beginning, Wei Ruxuan inserted three needles into her child, but in the end the child felt no pain and was sent back to her parents' home.

Now that Wei Ruxuan's brother has died, Xia feels that the matter has finally been settled.

Xia was like an oriole. When she arrived, the whole room was filled with laughter and chatter. She chatted about all kinds of new things and talked for half an hour without even drinking a sip of water.

Seeing that her voice was hoarse and her lips were dry, Yan Yu smiled and asked Ning Xia to change her a cup of warm tea: "Drink some water first."

Xia took it and took a big sip: "This is so sweet and delicious. What kind of tea is it?"

This was sent from Yuhu. It's the Shao family's own tea, which was smoked in an unopened lotus. Xia likes sweet food, so she added rock sugar and other medicinal herbs to it. It tastes really delicious and nourishing, and the fragrance spreads from the throat to the lips.

Yan Yu told her the method and asked Ruidong to take half a pound of tea for Xia to take away when she left.

Xia felt a little embarrassed to eat and drink for free.

After what happened to her young master, she finally understood why her Sixth Master followed the King of Qin.

The King of Qin is usually aloof, but he is really loyal when something happens. Without the King of Qin's help, I'm afraid Wei Shi would not even be punished by being sent back home.

And now, Xia felt that it was quite comfortable to follow the Princess of Qin. As long as she didn't have any bad intentions, the Princess of Qin would treat her like a sister.

This time, Xia brought a night-shining pearl, which was the size of an egg. Small night-shining pearls were visible, but such a big thing was a rare thing even in the palace.

"There are three things left over from when my family was particularly prosperous. They are very bright at night, and I brought them all as my dowry." Xia said, "The other two are in the rooms of my prince and princess. They don't light up their rooms at night. This one will be placed in the room of the crown prince. There is a little light in the room, so the child won't be scared."

Anyway, Xia didn't know what was so good about Yan Yu. When she was with Yan Yu, she just felt very comfortable and warm all over. She could say anything and was not afraid of being scolded or having it spread.

The women in the backyard are never as free as the men in the front. They guard the sky all day long and don't have many opportunities to talk freely like this.

It was not until the evening that Xia stayed for a meal before reluctantly going back.

As soon as Xia left, rewards were sent from the palace.

When this reward appeared, even the knowledgeable maids sitting in front of Yan Yu were stunned. They twisted their faces and couldn't believe it was true.

Yan Yu was also unconvinced: "Is this a reward from the Empress Dowager?"

Zhao Ma smiled and said, "When the Empress Dowager heard that the prince was born, she was so happy that she ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddhist scriptures."

When Yan Yu looked at it, he saw a statue of Guanyin carved from a piece of white ice jade that was larger than a baby. The upper part of the jade was as transparent as water. If it was placed in water, it would be impossible to distinguish it. The outer layer was inlaid with a layer of gold, which shone with brilliant golden light. The small-leaf red sandalwood base that held the Guanyin statue was as green as jade, making people unable to take their eyes away.

To be honest, such a thing is so precious that Yan Yu had never seen it before.

Madam Zhao carefully observed Yan Yu's expression, and then said, "Crown Princess, the Queen Mother has always loved you, but you never told her once from the time you were pregnant to the birth of your child. You hurt her heart. The whole court knows that you are disrespectful to your elders and have lost your manners."

Yan Yu said: "When I found out that I was pregnant, I was accompanying my aunt in the countryside. I wrote a letter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and asked him to tell the Queen Mother the good news. I am afraid that the Crown Prince was so focused on the important matters of the court that he forgot to go to Shoukang Palace to tell the Queen Mother. I will go to the Queen Mother to apologize tomorrow."

Aunt Zhao smiled and said, "It's okay. The Queen Mother won't bother with you. I'll go back first."
