After Princess Xuanxue came down from the mountain, the whole capital was in chaos.

Chapter 28 Not allowed to have children?
  Xiangli Mingzhu didn't notice that Yuan Qi stood up on his own, and was very attentive in discussing with the steward whether to change the style of servant Xia Tian's clothes.

Yuan Qi stood there by himself and observed Mingzhu in her appearance, and found that from her appearance, she was carrying a debt and a human life, and the retribution was right in front of her. Her face was covered with thick makeup, but Yuan Qi could still see clearly. The ups and downs and lines on her face could determine a person's destiny.

But she didn't want to meddle in other people's business. She didn't like Xiangli Mingzhu. Although he was smart and managed Jiang Mansion in an orderly manner, he was mean. He was not good to the concubine's children, and he was even worse to her. He also arranged spies around her. .

This man has a strong desire to control and is strong, but because of this, his relationship with his husband is not good, and the relationship between husband and wife is almost on edge.

Looking at the furnishings in the house, they are magnificent, and the objects in the house are all very exquisite. If nothing else, the incense burner in the shape of a small animal is extremely exquisite in workmanship. It is made of pure copper and has an ingenious shape. In an ordinary wealthy family, Not very common.

Besides, the tea cups in her hand are all made of jade, so crystal clear and beautiful.

It's so extravagant that I don't know how much people's fat and money have been plundered.

Yuan Qi found a place to sit down, swayed his feet leisurely, and ate some fruit from the small table.

Xiangli Mingzhu agreed to the servant service sample presented by the steward and asked the sewing room to make two sets for a look. After the steward retired, she looked for Yuan Qi who was giving him a half-ceremony, but there was no one in the middle of the room. She found Yuan Qi eating the fruit plate on the table very leisurely, a plate of honeydew melons and jujubes, and she ate every last one.

She angrily rebuked: "Who told you to get up?"

Yuan Qi returned to the center of the room: "Why didn't mother let me get up? Do you want to embarrass me?"

What nonsense are you talking about?

Xiangli Mingzhu deeply felt that Yuan Qi was not good enough without adult education. Even if he knew that she was deliberately making things difficult, how could he tell her?
  "You got up before I saw your salute gesture, right? Didn't you learn it?" There are many ways to deal with such an ignorant child.

Yuan Qi was very obedient and saluted in the most standard posture again: "Mom, please watch, I will only demonstrate once."

Xiangli Mingzhu has never given birth to such an arrogant child. This child needs to be properly disciplined.

He actually asked her to watch carefully and only demonstrate once. Do you think she is teaching a disciple?
  She was almost going crazy. This child was really lawless. No, she had to tell Jiang Zhengqing about this and let him see what the only woman he had ever loved in his life was.

In the shocked eyes of Xiangli Mingzhu, Yuan Qi really demonstrated it again.

He even asked shamelessly: "Did mother see clearly? Is what I did very standard and I can't make mistakes?"

Xiangli Mingzhu snorted coldly: "Are you arrogant or stupid? I didn't see clearly. Let's do it again."

Yuan Qi pouted his little mouth and preached seriously, with a very respectful and gentle attitude: "I think mother has seen clearly. My master said that the most important thing when giving gifts to others is sincerity. If you don't sincerely give gifts ten thousand times, it will be useless. On the contrary, you will Being resented and cursed by others does not bring any benefit in terms of merit. I see that my mother is going to be unlucky recently. In my opinion, it is better for you to be lenient to others and accumulate virtue for yourself. If there is nothing else, I will leave. "

Xiangli Mingzhu, who had never been lectured like this by a child, suddenly became furious: "How did your master teach you to talk to adults? How did Grandma Wang teach you?"

Yuan Qi, in line with the purpose of infuriating people to death without paying for their lives, replied according to the rules taught by Grandma Wang: "To answer my mother, my master didn't teach me much about how to behave in the world. He only taught me the five skills of Xuanmen. The rules of replying to elders It was taught by Grandma Wang. Grandma Wang said that when talking to elders, you must not lie, your attitude must be respectful, and you must answer seriously when the elders ask. I am just telling the truth, I don’t know what is wrong? "

Saying the most arrogant words in the most cowardly tone, Yuan Qi felt that he would make people angry to death without paying for it.

Xiangli Mingzhu's face was gloomy and she chuckled: "You are young and sharp-tongued. Since your master has not taught you how to behave in the world, from tomorrow on, you will..."

"Madam, it's not good, madam..." A little maid ran in, looking very nervous. Xiangli Mingzhu frowned slightly: "Why are you in a hurry? Speak slowly."

The little maid panted slightly, pointed in the direction of Chunguang Yard and said: "Manager Song from Chunguang Yard came to report that he just found out that Du Meiren is eight months pregnant..."

Xiangli Mingzhu suddenly raised her voice: "You're eight months pregnant, and you didn't realize it until now? Haven't you noticed such a big belly on weekdays?"

The little maid worked for Manager Song. She explained aggrievedly: "Du Meiren usually wraps her stomach with a cloth. Today she has a stomachache and wants to call a doctor. Manager Song went to check it out in person and found that there was a lot of fluid on Du Meiren's legs... After careful examination of the amniotic fluid, I found out that she was more than eight months pregnant."

Xiangli Mingzhu's nose was so angry that she said, "She was eight months pregnant just now. Now she is more than eight months pregnant. How many months pregnant is she?"

The little maid knelt on the ground with a plop, and told the truth in a trembling voice: "It's full term, madam. Du Meiren's water has broken in labor, and she's about to give birth."

Yuan Qi didn't understand why the woman in the backyard had to hide her pregnancy.

Xiangli Mingzhu no longer cared about dealing with Yuan Qi and hurried to Chunguang Courtyard with the people in the house.

Chunguang Yuan is the residence of Jiang Zhengqing's concubines. There are many women there, most of whom were given to Jiang Zhengqing by others. Each of them is more beautiful and enchanting than the other. The prime minister dislikes them very much and does not allow them to give birth to children for Jiang Zhengqing.

But Yuan Qi didn't know much about this. He only knew that Jiang Zhengqing's children were either born to Mingzhu Xiangli or his concubine Li. The only child born to someone else was Jiang Truffle. However, Jiang Truffle's biological mother was not an outsider, but the close friend of Mingzhu Xiangli. Maid.

Jiang Zhengqing's other women don't have any children.

Oh, by the way, Yuan Qi himself was an accident.

Yuan Qi felt that Jiang Zhengqing still valued blood, and women of unknown origin or low status were not worthy of giving him children.

The women of Shunkoin all know this.

This is why Du Haitang concealed her pregnancy.

Yuan Qi liked to watch the excitement, so he also went to Haitang Xiaozhu in Chunguangyuan.

Haitang Xiaozhu was very quiet. The servants were all standing in the yard. Even when the doctor came, he didn't enter the house. Instead, he waited here for Xiangli Mingzhu.

"How are you serving me?" Xiangli Mingzhu scolded the servants in the yard.

Several maids and women knelt on the ground without saying a word.

"With her belly so big, no one noticed?"

In just this moment, a lot of people gathered in Haitang Xiaozhu Courtyard, and the concubine Li also came, but Jiang Zhengqing was nowhere to be seen.

Mrs. Li quietly told the maid beside her: "Go and report the news to Lord Marquis."
