Those years when I was Princess Yan

Xu Qingqing was suddenly held in the face by Zhu Di. In the dark night, the two stood in an empty alley, looking at each other.

"Can you say that again."

"Don't say good things twice!" Seeing Zhu Di glaring at her, Xu Qingqing immediately covered her stomach, "Don't scare me, my lord, I'm pregnant with a child now."

Zhu Di stared at Xu Qingqing with icy cold eyes, the surrounding was extremely quiet, and the sound of the wind blowing Xu Qingqing's hair on her temples seemed to be clearly heard.

Zhu Di stroked Xu Qingqing's cheeks twice with his thumb, pressed his lips to her forehead, and then clasped his fingers tightly with her.

"Let's go, go back."

When Xu Qingqing was dragged back by him, she was still a little bit reluctant.

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and gave Xu Qingqing a warning look.

Xu Qingqing simply shook off his hand and did not leave.The explanation wasn't sincere enough, he just wanted to fool her with a random kiss, and now he's threatening her with his eyes!Find out, she is now a pregnant woman running with the ball, which is quite different from before, and she has the capital of hypocrisy!

"Aren't you going?" Zhu Di asked her.

"Don't go." Xu Qingqing crossed her arms and raised her chin, "I want to enjoy the moon here for a while."

Suddenly the sky spun, and both feet left the ground suddenly——

Xu Qingqing yelled in surprise before realizing that she was picked up by Zhu Di and walked back.

"Put me down!" Xu Qingqing thumped Zhu Di's shoulder with her fist. She thumped hard, but it seemed that hitting Zhu Di had no effect at all. The effect was like tickling him.

"It's on the street, you put me down quickly." Xu Qingqing said that she has been nurturing her in the ancient environment for a year, and she would really feel embarrassed to be carried by a man on the street.If someone appeared on the street in a while, where would she put her face?

That's how things are sometimes, good spirits don't work bad spirits.Sure enough, a group of people appeared on the west side of the street, rushing towards them.Xu Qingqing hurriedly asked Zhu Di to let her down quickly. Zhu Di glanced at her, but didn't respond, and walked forward with her as usual.

"Forget me begging the lord."

"The concubine doesn't want to leave, I just want to hug her." Zhu Di replied rigidly.

"At that time, I wanted to see the moon, but now I am hugged by the prince. I have seen enough, and I already want to go." Xu Qingqing urged Zhu Di to let her down quickly.

However, the team moved faster than she expected.Almost running over quickly, the leading deputy commander of Zhongcheng Bingma Si recognized Zhu Di, and hurriedly led his subordinates to kneel down and salute.Xu Qingqing was so ashamed that she had no place to hide, she could only bury her head in Zhu Di's arms.

"There was an assassin in the palace. When the king took the princess away, the princess accidentally sprained her foot." Zhu Di stated the false facts in a calm tone.

When Deputy Commander Zhou heard that it was an assassin again, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He still vividly remembered the last time an assassin assassinated King Yan on the street. Come.He didn't dare to doubt anything else, and knelt down devoutly, listening to King Yan's orders.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, step back." Zhu Di said.

Deputy Commander Zhou heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the words. Fortunately, the prince did not intend to implicate them in this matter, otherwise he was really worried that the black hat on his head would be lost.

Deputy Commander Zhou hurriedly sent his subordinates to inform the palace, and arranged for carriages to take the prince and concubine back.But he had only spoken half of his instructions when he saw King Yan's icy eyes sweeping over him.Deputy Commander Zhou immediately knew that he was troubled, and hurriedly retreated with his troops, not daring to leave a single hair behind.

The street quickly returned to its previous tranquility, but Xu Qingqing blushed and buried herself in Zhu Di's arms, not daring to show her head at all.

Zhu Di carried Xu Qingqing all the way to the back door of the palace.Only then did Xu Qingqing struggle again, and asked Zhu Di to let her down again.She was already ashamed in front of the patrolling soldiers and horses, and she could no longer be ashamed in front of the servants in the mansion.

"Since I sprained my foot, it will take two days to heal."

Xu Qingqing understood that Zhu Di was telling her that she had to pretend to be a complete lie.After all, this is in the capital, at the foot of the emperor, and the news spread quickly.Try to think about it, if the news about her being hugged by the King of Yan in the street without really twisting her foot was spread to the aristocratic circle in the capital, it would definitely explode, and people would definitely say it was indecent and frivolous.

Xu Qingqing had no choice but to let Zhu Di continue to hug her, carried her into the bedroom, and sat on the couch.

Biluo and the others saw this scene with their own eyes, and their expressions were no different from usual at first glance.But if you observe carefully, you will find that each of them is holding back the corners of their mouths, obviously wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, holding back in pain.

Xu Qingqing, out of sight and out of mind, dismissed them all.Zhu Di stopped one of them and ordered him to prepare water for the princess to bathe.

Xu Qingqing took off her shoes, got into bed, covered her head and turned her back to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di lifted the quilt to expose Xu Qingqing's head.Xu Qingqing put the quilt back on immediately.

"Don't be angry." After a while, Zhu Di finally spoke out, coaxing Xu Qingqing.

Xu Qingqing lifted the quilt and sat up, "Then please tell me carefully, why did you suddenly become a scholar when you heard my concubine said she was pregnant?"

In fact, Xu Qingqing was not just messing around. She tortured Zhu Di like this because she wanted to take the opportunity to find out a little bit about his past, so that she could better figure out his psychological state.It would be great if he could take the opportunity to find out what caused his sudden change in temperament and taste.

Seeing that Zhu Di was hesitant, Xu Qingqing decided to take advantage of the victory and pursue him. She rubbed her eyes with her hands and pretended to be pitiful and said, "My lord doesn't like my child, how can I be happy!"

"I said, I like it," Zhu Di went to grab Xu Qingqing's hand, thinking that she was just making a fuss, but saw that her eyes were really red, tears were hanging around her eyes, and the hand hanging in mid-air froze, so she grabbed it Holding Xu Qingqing's hand, "Extreme joy begets sorrow."

It works!

"Extreme joy begets sorrow?" Xu Qingqing blinked hard, squeezed out two tears, and asked Zhu Di with a choked voice why extreme joy begets sorrow.

"This is our first child, so I'm worried that we won't be able to take good care of him." Zhu Di lowered his eyes and gently wiped away the tears on Xu Qingqing's face with his hand.

Zhu Di actually worried about this?What made a prince who had always been lonely suspect that he would not be able to take good care of his children?He is a prince, and there are a lot of people around him to serve him. Even if he really doesn't care about it, there will still be a bunch of people who will take good care of his child.To put it bluntly, it still has something to do with his childhood experience, which made Zhu Di more sensitive about children.

Xu Qingqing hugged Zhu Di's arm, leaned in front of him, and asked softly, "Will the prince be willing to tell this concubine why he feels that he can't take care of him well? There are obviously so many people in the mansion who can take good care of him."

Zhu Di sneered coldly: "Where have princes and grandsons ever sent someone to serve them? What's worse is that their words are insincere, they can't help themselves, and they don't deserve a sincere betrayal."

"My lord?" Xu Qingqing hugged Zhu Di's arm tightly again. She felt that when Zhu Di said these words, there was an indescribable heaviness hidden in Zhu Di's seemingly calm eyes, so that the surrounding atmosphere became tense. Depressed.

And in his cold sneer, it seemed that he was mocking not others, but himself.He seemed to loathe himself.

Zhu Di turned his eyes to look at Xu Qingqing, and there was a trace of softness in his eyes. He wiped Xu Qingqing's face with his sleeve again, "Don't cry anymore, I am very happy that you are pregnant. Will the king treat the child well? Just look at it."

"Didn't you worry about not being able to take good care of it just now, and now it's changed?" Xu Qingqing smiled through tears.

The previous topic was too heavy, and self-loathing is not a good phenomenon. If you continue to ask, it may make Zhu Di feel sad, and it will be difficult to call the scholar out again.

Zhu Di will soon be leaving for Fengyang, and before leaving, he has to enter the palace to bid farewell to the empress.Hu Weiyong just came here today, the reason why this old man became the prime minister was not due to good luck, he may not have realized that he was fooled away by her at the time, and he might be suspicious afterwards, suspecting that there is something wrong with them.So before returning to Fengyang, when meeting the emperor, it's better not to go on a business trip.

"That was just a momentary thought." Zhu Di pinched Xu Qingqing's face, and asked her in a low voice, "Aren't you angry?"

"Yeah." Xu Qingqing wasn't very angry at first.Even being a little angry is the same as what Zhu Di said just now, it's just a momentary thing, and it's over right away.

"Want to stay?" Zhu Di asked again.

"I'll go to the prince when the baby is stable. The Empress said earlier that when the spring is about to start, I will plant radishes with me. It happens to be possible." Xu Qingqing said.

"Qiu Fu will leave it to you." Zhu Di paused, "Wan Chun will also come."

Xu Qingqing was flattered that Zhu Di was willing to transfer both Qiu Fu and 'Xiao Qingjun' to her.

"Wan Chun is enough. At the feet of the emperor, I will always go to accompany the empress when I am fine. There will be no safety problems. However, the prince is easily in danger in Fengyang. I can rest assured that Qiu Fu follows the prince." Xu Qingqing Seeing that Zhu Di was still talking, he quickly blocked his mouth with his fingers, "This time, the prince must listen to me, otherwise I will worry about the safety of the prince in Fengyang every day, and it is not good for the child."

Zhu Di smiled helplessly, put his big hand on Xu Qingqing's abdomen, and leaned into Xu Qingqing's ear: "With him, the princess will become even more powerful."

"A mother is more expensive than a child, that's not just talking casually, it's a serious and reasonable truth!" Xu Qingqing smiled triumphantly.

"Thank you for your hard work." Zhu Di kissed Xu Qingqing's face, "When I'm not around, just ask Wan Chun if you have anything to do, and if you have anything to do, you can find your father, and you can also go to King Wu. From the capital to Fengyang, The fast horse is only two days away, so you can tell me."

"Wu Wang?" Xu Qingqing didn't expect Zhu Di to be so generous, asking her to find Wu Wang.On the wedding night, he even cared about her 'hooking up' with King Wu.

"Why, the princess is still coveting him?" Zhu Di asked teasingly.

"Don't dare."

"Fifth brother really likes to study medicine, but he never delays sleeping with women. Counting it carefully, he should have slept with ten or eight concubines." Zhu Di said.

Xu Qingqing looked at Zhu Di in surprise: "How old is he!"

"One year younger than this king." Knowing that Xu Qingqing was not asking a question, Zhu Di still deliberately answered, "It's normal to be young and energetic."

"What about the lord?"

Marrying a prince must maintain a good attitude and treat it as a job, so that it is easy to continue living.If you expect too much from a man in a feudal society with a modern point of view, you will be too easily disappointed and bring yourself to suffer.As for the so-called oaths and promises when the love is strong, Xu Qingqing will not ask for it, no matter how much she says, it is not important in practice.Basically, she has always maintained the attitude of "Let's go and see". She will respond with whatever attitude King Yan treats her, and owes nothing to anyone.

The status of concubines in the palace is so low that they don't even have the chance to meet the princess.After Xu Qingqing married Zhu Di, she had never heard of any special woman serving Zhu Di, so she never asked.

Now that Zhu Di took the initiative to mention it, it was also because he was surprised by the number of concubines before the marriage of King Wu that Xu Qingqing would ask Zhu Di casually.

"There were originally four."

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Qingqing, saw that her expression didn't change and said 'Oh', and called for someone to wait for her to take a bath.

Zhu Di casually picked up the unfinished book beside the bed and continued to read, his face was very cold, and the bottom of his eyes was even colder.

After Xu Qingqing soaked in the hot water, she closed her eyes and meditated comfortably for a moment, and suddenly realized that Zhu Di had just mentioned the concubine to her, which seemed to be for another purpose, but she couldn't react in time at that time...

Xu Qingqing waited until the water in the tub had cooled down before coming out under Biluo's reminder.

When changing clothes, Xu Qingqing called Biluo to her side.

Xu Qingqing intentionally lowered her voice, but it was loud enough for Zhu Di in the dormitory to hear clearly, and asked Biluo: "You have been in the mansion for such a long time, so you must know everything you need to know, do you know?" Where are the prince's concubines?"

Biluo was stunned for a moment, then asked Xu Qingqing in a daze: "Does the lord have concubines?"

"What about the four, you haven't found them out for so long?" Xu Qingqing asked in surprise.

Biluo shook her head like a rattle.

"It's really useless!" Xu Qingqing blamed her angrily.

"It's not that the servants are useless, it must be that the prince hid these people on purpose to prevent the servants from finding out, otherwise it is impossible for the servants to not understand such an important matter." Biluo explained to Xu Qingqing solemnly.

Xu Qingqing touched her chin, "Then you said that the prince hid it on purpose, does it mean that these people are important or not?"

"It's all possible. If it's important, it's to hide it for fear that the princess will bully them. If it's not important, it's to hide it for fear that the princess will be jealous."

Xu Qingqing poked Biluo's forehead hard, "I let you say everything, it's just nonsense!"

Biluo rubbed her head aggrievedly, "Actually, it's a simple matter, the princess just ask the prince directly. The servants see that the prince cares about the princess, and the foot is not really twisted, so I hugged it all the way back."

After hearing Biluo's words, Xu Qingqing pretended to think for a while before saying, "It makes sense, the lord seems to really care about me, I should ask the lord."

Xu Qingqing then returned to Zhu Di and climbed back onto the bed.

Zhu Di put down the book in his hand and looked at Xu Qingqing, "So long?"

"I accidentally fell asleep while washing." Xu Qingqing forced a smile at Zhu Di, then lay down and closed her eyes.

After Zhu Di collected the book and sent the maids to retreat, he moved to Xu Qingqing's side and hugged her.

Xu Qingqing's body stiffened for a moment, and she stood motionless.

"Isn't your lord going to take a bath?" Xu Qingqing had nothing to say.

"After bathing," Zhu Di chuckled, putting his lips behind Xu Qingqing's ear, "Slightly faster than the princess."

Xu Qingqing: "..."

Yan Wang is really good enough, even the speed of bathing can despise her.

"Then let's rest early, the prince is leaving tomorrow, so we need to recharge our spirits."

Xu Qingqing smirked, and hurriedly got up to cover Zhu Di with a quilt.Her actions and words were clearly hinting to Zhu Di not to make any more moves.Xu Qingqing then lay down with her body very straight, holding her body motionless.

After being 'arranged' by Xu Qingqing, Zhu Di hugged Xu Qingqing sideways again.

"Since we know we will be separated tomorrow, why do you still treat me coldly?" Zhu Di saw Xu Qingqing was stuttering and didn't speak, so he grabbed her ear.

Xu Qingqing covered her ears and let out a low cry, sat up angrily, and glared at Zhu Di.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Zhu Di gave Xu Qingqing a stern look, telling her to speak up if she had something to say, without being so awkward.

Xu Qingqing lowered her eyes, picked her fingers and said: "It's not a big deal, I just want to ask the prince, where are the four concubines now? I don't have any other intentions, it's all out of good intentions. As the prince's concubine, the concubine should take good care of the prince's women, and raise them to be healthy, so that she can serve the prince well."

Zhu Di's deep eyes stared at Xu Qingqing for a moment, "Truth?"

"The concubine is fulfilling the responsibilities of a princess." Xu Qingqing evaded Zhu Di's question, and gave him an ugly face, clearly expressing: the truth is about your size!

Zhu Di sneered, and asked Xu Qingqing sarcastically: "You are a good wife and mother now, who is the one who threatened the king with the child just now?"

Xu Qingqing remained silent, neither talking nor looking at Zhu Di.

"There were originally four, but two of them saw that I was ill when I first entered the mansion, so they sent them away together." Zhu Di asked Xu Qingqing if she was satisfied with the result.

I really don't know what's going on in her little head. When I mentioned it just now, she didn't seem to be pretending that she didn't care. I thought she didn't care.Who knew that she was suppressing her emotions and struggling for so long while taking a bath.However, this result was exactly what he wanted to see, and he was satisfied.

"My lord—" Xu Qingqing threw herself into Zhu Di's arms coquettishly, "I'm being narrow-minded, my lord, don't be angry!"

After Xu Qingqing finished speaking, seeing Zhu Di with a cold face and no response, she couldn't help but scold him for being better than herself.He obviously wanted to see her jealous, but now that she showed him jealousy and satisfied him, he still wanted to put on airs.

"My lord, I really care too much about my lord, that's why I'm jealous. I'll try not to do it in the future. Don't be angry, my lord, okay?"

Xu Qingqing put her arms around Zhu Di's neck, and leaned over to kiss his cold face cheerfully.If she hadn't been sure that she had figured out Zhu Di's thoughts before, now she would not have dared to speak now that he looked like a stranger.

Zhu Di suddenly pinched Xu Qingqing's chin, and when Xu Qingqing looked at him in astonishment, he lowered his head and kissed her lips very gently, not as domineering as before.Like the spring breeze turning into drizzle, you need to rub the lingering affection into the other person's bones little by little.

Xu Qingqing lay in Zhu Di's arms for a while, told him many things about his going to Fengyang, and tried her best to satisfy the dog man's demand for "you and me" between husband and wife on the eve of parting, and finally rested.

The next day, the two of them went to the palace to face the saint together. Qin Wang and his wife and Jin Wang and his wife were also there.

The empress was very surprised to learn that Xu Qingqing suddenly decided not to go to Fengyang with Zhu Di.

"Why, did you quarrel with the fourth child?" The emperor immediately asked Xu Qingqing, and asked Xu Qingqing to make the decision for him if he had any grievances.As for the fourth daughter-in-law, the emperor liked it very much, no matter it was family background or temperament and talent, he was very satisfied in all aspects.On New Year's Eve, he still recalled the song "Returning the Home" she played with suona. When King Qin and King Jin heard that they might have had a quarrel, they immediately looked at Zhu Di and Xu Qingqing. The old rule: take pleasure in other's misfortune and watch the excitement.

Xu Qingqing looked at Zhu Di, and entrusted him with the task of announcing the happy event, which just happened to make him feel more of the joy of being a father.

"Just checked the pulse and confirmed, she is happy." Zhu Di said.

Empress Ma was stunned, with a particularly joyful smile on her face.The emperor also reacted, patted his leg, and laughed loudly, this is great joy.

"Your Majesty, it's hard for this child to be separated from her husband just because she is pregnant." Empress Ma wanted to ask the emperor to allow Zhu Di to stay in Beijing for a little longer to accompany Xu Qingqing.

Xu Qingqing hastily expressed that there is no need to be like this, "If the important event of the prince's experience is delayed because of taking care of the daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law will feel guilty and uneasy. It's just raising the baby, the daughter-in-law just needs to be careful, and besides, there are many people around to take care of them, and they are very considerate."

"This child is still sensible." Empress Ma was very pleased and said to the emperor with emotion.

The emperor didn't intend to delay his son's training in Fengyang because of this matter, otherwise, if those censors knew about it, what kind of tricks would they be told.In fact, the queen also understands this truth, and she said those words just to sympathize with her daughter-in-law and let her have a relief.Who knows that the fourth daughter-in-law is still grand, she has thought clearly for a long time, and it is rare to not have the slightest attitude of the younger daughter.

Others in the hall congratulated Xu Qingqing and Zhu Di.

Zhu Yan was a little upset, it was too disappointing, and there were only the three dry men.When they go back to Fengyang this time, they won't stay in Ping'an Temple to herd geese and cattle like before. They will go to other places to practice and learn to manage government affairs in Fengyang Mansion.The days are getting more and more boring, and the most interesting person is not here anymore.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Hu requests an audience." The eunuch sent a message.

Soon after the emperor Xuanren had an audience, Hu Weiyong, who was wearing a red official robe, took big steps and hurried into the hall.After kowtowing, he hurriedly told the emperor that he came here to see off the three princes.And because the last time I visited King Yan at the Palace of King Yan, I saw King Yan fainted from exhaustion, so I came here to care about whether Prince Yan's health will recover.

"Tired and fainted?" The emperor looked at Zhu Di suspiciously.

"I heard that it was for the purpose of copying the scriptures for the empress all night." Hu Weiyong said again, "but I am strange, this is not a new year's day, and it is not the empress's birthday, how could the prince of Yan suddenly want to copy the scriptures to be the empress? The empress is praying for blessings? I also heard that there was a fire in Prince Yan's mansion last night."

Xu Qingqing raised her eyebrows and glanced at Hu Weiyong, thinking that the old man might have made up a big drama in his head, and it was probably a big drama that neither she nor King Yan knew about.Even if this drama is not true, he can still make it up logically, with reasons and evidence, so as to make it sound like it is true.

The author has something to say: Ka, Kawen.
