Yuxi Extra Story (7)

As soon as Yunqing's July 7 was over, Qihao sent Honglang to pick him up. Among her great-grandchildren, Yuxi loves Honglang the most.

Seeing Yuxi, Hong Lang felt very sad: "Great-grandmother, Hong Lang is here to take you home." When great-grandfather was there, great-grandmother was full of energy. But now, the whole person is like an eggplant beaten by frost, with no energy at all.

Yu Xi shook her head helplessly, and said, "Your grandfather is also true, he said that I will go back by myself."

If no matter what she said before, Qihao would listen. But the hunger strike earlier frightened Qihao. So, when the time came, I couldn't wait to let Hong Lang come over.

Hong Lang said: "Great-grandmother, I was the one who was worried and begged my grandfather to let me come."

Yu Xi nodded slightly, and said, "I'll let someone clean it up, and I'll return to Beijing tomorrow."

The weather was not beautiful, and the next morning there was heavy snow. Looking at this day, Yuxi didn't really want to go back to Beijing.

Hong Lang said: "Great-grandmother, you can still walk now when it just snows. Wait until tomorrow, and the road will freeze even if you want to walk."

Qiyou agreed to return to Beijing. The conditions here are so bad that the house is not paved with floor coverings. When the weather gets colder again, he is afraid that Yu Xi's body will not be able to bear it: "Mother, what Hong Lang said is right. Let's go back to Beijing as soon as it snows, and the road will be even worse a few days later. Mother, we always have to Returning to Beijing."

Zao Zao and Qi Rui also persuaded them together.

Yuxi nodded her head: "Go to your father's grave to put incense sticks, let's go!" She actually wanted to stay here with Yunqing, but she knew that the six Qihao siblings would definitely not agree, so she decided to leave. Did not say.

Yuxi touched the bone-chilling white marble, and said softly: "He Rui, I'll go back to Beijing first, and I'll come to see you when the weather warms up."

On the way back, Qixuan saw Yuxi's listless appearance, and said, "Mother, I went to the hot spring village before and said that I wanted to go back to the northwest to have a look. Mother, I will accompany you to the northwest for a walk in the spring of next year." He felt that Yuxi The current mental state is not suitable for being locked up at home.

After hearing this, Qiyou gave Qixuan a hard look.

Yuxi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "We will go to the Northwest when the spring of next year begins. Speaking of which, we haven't been there for more than 20 years. I don't know what's going on there now?"

Qi Xuan smiled and said: "It must be better than before." Now the world is peaceful, his eldest brother is a wise king, and the life of ordinary people is much better than before.

When eating at noon,

Qiyou pulled Qixuan aside and said, "Mother's current body, how can she go to the northwest? Third brother, aren't you acting foolish?"

"Whether staying in the Compassionate Ning Palace or staying in Baihuayuan, my mother will always look at things and think about others. Going out for a walk and looking at the people and things outside will make my mother feel at ease." He has seen it several times. Yuxi stood in front of Yunqing's portrait, muttering to herself. Every time he saw such a scene, he felt very sad.

Qiyou thought about it seriously, and also felt that it made sense: "Then I will accompany your mother to the Northwest next year." Staying in the capital, it is indeed easy to be immersed in grief and unable to get out. Leaving the capital city and going outside for a walk is a way to relax.

Because I walked very slowly, I didn't arrive in the capital until dark. Because the soldiers guarding the city were ordered to open the city gate immediately when they saw a group of people to let them in.

Arriving at the Compassion Palace, Yuxi was already very tired. Simply wash off and go to bed.

Qiyou told Qixuan and Qihao immediately that they planned to accompany Yuxi to the Northwest in the spring.

Hearing the reason, Qihao didn't object: "Going to the northwest is fine, but it must be arranged well. Mother is getting old, and it's not suitable for sleeping in the wild." When you get old, a cold will kill you. I wasn't afraid before, but I was afraid that Yuxi would want to go with Yunqing again if she fell ill. I was afraid that if I fell ill, I didn't think about it, and the imperial physicians would not be able to save people.

Qiyou said: "Don't worry, brother, I will send someone to arrange it." Make the route well, so that food and accommodation can be arranged in advance.

At the end of the new year, all the prefectures began to get busy, and the head of the house was so busy that her feet never touched the ground.

The affairs of the East Palace were taken care of by the officials, and Zhou Shushen did not intervene because he was afraid of causing Qihao's dissatisfaction. However, Zhou Shushen was in charge of most of the general affairs in Kang Wang's mansion. Because Concubine Kang came from a low background, even though she had been married for several years and had two children, she was still worried. But Concubine Kang is very smart, knowing that confronting Zhou Shushen will do her and her children no good. Therefore, she put Zhou Shushen first in everything. In the past few years, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along fairly happily. Now that Concubine Kang is pregnant again, she doesn't care about the affairs of the house.

Zhou Shushen was listening to the report from the lady in charge when she heard the servant girl come in and say that the princess is back.

Seeing Xinyue's eyes were red, Zhou Shushen said, "Xinyue, what's wrong with you?"

Xinyue threw herself into Zhou Shushen's arms, crying and said, "Mother, concubine..."

Zhou Shushen comforted her for a long time before Xinyue stopped crying: "If you have any grievances, tell your mother and concubine."

Xinyue couldn't say it.

Under Zhou Shushen's stern gaze, Qingkong knelt on the ground and said, "Madam, Yudie, the maid of the county horse, is pregnant for more than three months. Madam begged the princess, hoping to keep this child." As for Yudie, After she gave birth to the child, Xinyue had the final say on how Mrs. Zhou would deal with it.

Zhou Shushen paused. It has been almost five years since the daughter married her natal nephew, and she has not been able to give birth to a son and a half until now. Her sister-in-law seems to be in a hurry.

After letting the clear sky go down, Zhou Shushen held Xinyue's hand and said, "Xinyue, what do you think?"

Xinyue's complexion was a little pale: "I, I don't know." She didn't want this child in her heart, but she didn't have the confidence to say this because she failed to give students Zhou Min a son and a half.

A woman has no heirs, even if she has a high status, she is still a head shorter. What Zhou Shushen meant was to hold the child by his side after it was born. If Xinyue still can't give birth after a few years, this child will be recorded in his name.

Xinyue lowered her head and said, "Mother, let me think about it." She is very upset now and doesn't know what to do.

Zhou Shushen patted Xinyue's hand and said softly, "Xinyue, mother will not harm you, you are right."

On the way back, Xinyue was a little dazed: "Qingkong, Concubine Mu means to let Yudie give birth to the child. If it is a son, I will bring it over and raise it." She was unwilling to raise her husband's children born to other women, but she dare not refuse.

Qingkong has been by Xinyue's side since she was four years old, and she is loyal to her: "Princess, the idea of ​​the Zhou family is to get rid of the mother and keep the child. But the princess, if you really get rid of Yudie, can the child grow up?" Do you resent you for this? If you have resentment in your heart, how can you be truly filial to you in the future? Maybe, I will bite you back.” Don’t set too many precedents like this.

Xinyue didn't want to kill anyone, but she also had concerns: "But if I keep her, I won't be able to raise this child."

Qingkong whispered: "Princess, since you don't want to, then don't agree."

Xinyue couldn't help but shed tears again: "But I can't give birth." If she could give birth, she would definitely not allow this child to stay.

Qingkong slandered in her heart, but the princess was too soft. His Royal Highness Taisun is the younger brother of his own princess, so for this, the Zhou family should also worship the princess as a bodhisattva. In the end, Zhou Minxue that bastard was ruining his master like this.

After a moment of silence, Qingkong said: "Princess, His Highness Taisun said that if you have any difficulties, you can go to him. Princess, why don't you go to His Highness Taisun and ask him for advice."

"I'm afraid that mother and concubine will not be happy if she finds out." Kang Wang lost his grandson position because of his disability, and later Hong Lang almost had an accident because of her. These two incidents caused Xinyue to become particularly sensitive, and her courage became smaller and smaller. At that time, Zhou Shushen was thinking so hard about trying to make Honglang like Yunqing and Yuxi that she ignored Xinyue. When she found out, Xinyue couldn't straighten herself out.

Qing Kong hung his head and said nothing. She gave the suggestion, and there is nothing the Princess can do if she doesn't accept it.

Zhou Shushen finally reached an agreement with Mrs. Zhou's family to leave the mother and keep the son. After the child was born, he was given to Xinyue to raise him.

Xinyue has always been used to listening to Zhou Shushen, even though she didn't like it in her heart, she never refused in the end.

Zhou Shushen thought that this was the end of the matter, but she didn't know that this matter was learned from Zhou Min. And this Yudie is the son of the Zhou family, and many relatives in the family work beside Mrs. Zhou. Naturally, I also got news.

Knowing that Mrs. Zhou was going to leave her mother and child, she was anxious all day long. Pregnant people are most taboo about emotional ups and downs. She couldn't eat well, couldn't sleep, and soon became gassy.

After Zhou Minxue found out about this, she decided that Xinyue couldn't tolerate the child secretly murdering her. He didn't say anything if he couldn't give birth to a child, but now he couldn't even accommodate a maid in the room. In a rage, he ran to Xinyue, pointed at Xinyue and called her a poisonous woman.

Xinyue couldn't take it anymore, and left the Zhou Mansion with tears in her eyes. Every time she was wronged, she would go back to her natal home and cry.

On the way in the morning, Qingkong and Xinyue said: "Princess, we should go to His Highness Taisun and let His Highness make the decision for you." Telling the empress about this matter, in the end, it was a big matter and a small matter.

After all, her own princess is a golden branch and jade leaf. Zhou Minxue dared to abuse her like this. Firstly, it was because her own princess was soft-tempered, and secondly, it was because the empress indulged the Zhou family too much. But she really couldn't bear to watch Xinyue being bullied like this again.

Xinyue clenched her fists tightly, and said after a while, "Okay." After speaking, she told the coachman to turn around and go to the East Palace.

Seeing Xinyue's master and servant's eyes were red and swollen, the subordinate officials of the East Palace did not dare to delay, and immediately sent someone to send a message to the palace.

At this moment, Hong Lang was accompanying Yu Xi in the Palace of Compassion and Ning. Hearing that Xinyue was looking for him, Hong Lang knew that it was probably Zhou Min who had learned the tricks again.

Seeing that Hong Lang's expression was not quite right, Yuxi said to Bingmei: "Go and see what happened to Xinyue." In the fourth generation, except for Hong Lang and brother Pian, everyone else She paid little attention. Later, Yunqing's health was not good, and he lost the energy to pay attention to the younger generation's affairs.

Bingmei nodded and said: "Okay."

When he returned to the Eastern Palace, he saw Xinyue whose eyes were swollen like peaches. Hong Lang's face was a little gloomy: "Eldest sister, did Zhou Minxue bully you again?"

This time, before Xinyue could speak, Qingkong knelt on the ground and told the whole story.

Hong Lang didn't show it on the surface, but he was extremely annoyed in his heart. Not only was Zhou Minxue annoyed that Zhou's family was making progress, Zhou Minxue acted recklessly, but also Zhou Shushen was blindly partial to Zhou's family.

Seeing that Hong Lang's expression remained unchanged, Qingkong gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, since the Luo incident, Junma has never touched the Princess." He is not close to his own Princess, and where is the child.

Hong Lang looked at Xinyue and asked, "Sister, what are you going to do about this?"

If Xinyue had an idea, she wouldn't be forced to this point by Zhou Minxue.

Looking at her bewildered look, Hong Lang felt distressed and helpless. It's also fortunate that this servant girl is loyal, otherwise, if Xinyue didn't say anything, he wouldn't be able to stand up for her.

Sighing, Hong Lang said to Xinyue: "Sister, since Zhou Minxue regards you as an enemy, you should stop being with him." They have become enemies, how can they be husband and wife.

After hearing this, Qingkong really felt that it was the sound of nature.

There was a flash of surprise in Xinyue's eyes, but it quickly faded: "Mother and Concubine will not agree."

The expression on Honglang's face immediately eased, as long as Xinyue didn't want to stay in the Zhou family, it would be fine: "I'll talk to the concubine mother. Sister, you can stay in the East Palace with peace of mind, and I will discuss the matter of reconciliation." I'll handle it for you."

Seeing Xinyue's struggling face in the clear sky, he said anxiously: "Princess, the princess looks at you with murderous eyes. Princess, if you stay in Zhou's house, you will be killed by the county horse sooner or later." If Xinyue didn't leave Zhou's house, she either died in depression or was tortured to death. As a personal servant girl, Xinyue is really good or bad, how can she be good or bad.

Thinking of Zhou Minxue's eyes full of hatred when she looked at her, Xinyue couldn't help shivering: "Brother, I, I want to make peace with him."

After Hong Lang nodded, he called the female officer and asked her to lead Xinyue to Biqiongyuan to rest.

After Xinyue settled down, Hong Lang went to Prince Kang's Mansion to find Zhou Shushen. But I don't want to, Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Minxue are also there.

When Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Minxue saw Hong Lang, they quickly got up and saluted him.

Hong Lang said indifferently: "I don't know why my aunt came here?" He directly ignored Zhou Min.

Mrs. Zhou showed embarrassment.

However, Zhou Minxue said: "I had some disputes with the princess, and the princess left the Zhou mansion crying. My mother and I were very worried, so we came here to find her." In fact, it was Mrs. Zhou who knew that Xinyue had gone to the East Palace, so she was in a hurry The area brought Zhou Minxue to Kang Wangfu.

Hong Lang asked expressionlessly: "Then can you tell me, what kind of dispute did you have with your sister?"

Zhou Minxue sensed that Hong Lang's tone was wrong, and his heart skipped a beat: "It's for the heir." No matter how much, he didn't say anything.

Zhou Shushen also felt that her son's expression was not right, and said, "Honglang, has Xinyue looked for you?"

Hong Lang grunted and said: "Mother, Zhou Minxue's personal servant girl is pregnant, he thinks it's my sister's poisonous hand, and calls her a poisonous woman."

Mrs. Zhou's face turned pale: "Your Highness, there must be a misunderstanding. Your Highness, Min Xue would never say such a thing." Hong Lang was not close to the Zhou family, so she tried every means to get her son to marry Xinyue.

As if Hong Lang hadn't heard this, he looked at Zhou Minxue with a cold expression: "Your concubine was forced to marry by your aunt, and you dare not blame your aunt to anger my sister and keep her away from her in the cold. Now, again You insulted my sister as a poisonous woman because of a housemaid. Zhou Minxue, I want to know who gave you the courage?"

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, Mrs. Zhou broke out in a cold sweat.
