Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 213
In the twelfth lunar month, the uproar caused by Empress Wan, the Fourth Prince, King Qing and others in the capital completely passed away, just like the heavy snow in the winter moon, disappeared, and became a topic of conversation that people only occasionally bring up after dinner.

Lu Mingyu's morning sickness was also over, and she was in good spirits. Someone took the account book, and she sat cross-legged on the warm couch, lowered her head to reconcile the accounts, and beside her was a jade abacus made of warm jade.Before Lu Mingyu got married, she had an abacus made of jade, and she used it at the beginning of the year. Chu Xing found that a bead was a little bit broken, and gave her a new one within a few days.

"Mother, the abacus." Tangtang crawled around the kang table, then came around again, leaning on the table with her small body, pointing at the abacus and telling her mother.The child who is almost two years old can talk more and more now.

"Who bought the abacus for mother?" Lu Mingyu knew that her daughter was tired of playing with herself, so she put down the account book, hugged her lovely daughter on her lap, and placed the jade abacus on the table in front of the mother.

"Daddy!" Tangtang fiddled with the beads with her small hands, and called Daddy without even thinking about it.

Lu Mingyu smiled and kissed the top of her daughter's head, and said happily: "Tomorrow, Daddy won't have to enter the palace, and he can play with Tangtang all day." The courtiers began their holiday on sixteenth, and Chu Xing, as the commander of the imperial army, often went to the palace It's on duty, but you can go there every few days, and you don't need to stay for too long.

Tangtang's mind is all on the abacus now, and he is focused on playing with the abacus.

Lu Mingyu used abacus to teach her daughter to count, from one to ten, Tangtang could follow her mother to read, but the little girl could only count to three by herself, and later she just popped out the number that came to her mind.Even so, relatives all praised Tangtang for being smart, but Lu Mingyu didn't intend to deliberately teach a smart daughter, she just wanted to play with her.

"Ma'am, the second girl is back, let's go to pay my respects to Mrs. Tai first." The two wives played abacus with great interest, and Cai Sang came in to report the report with a smile.

When the sister-in-law came back to visit, Lu Mingyu couldn't help laughing, and lowered her head to ask her daughter, "Does Tangtang miss the second aunt?"

Tangtang nodded solemnly.

Lu Mingyu asked someone to bring her daughter's small cloak. She tied the cloak for her daughter first, then tidied herself up, then put her daughter in the small wooden cart, and chatted to Sanqiu Hall while walking.Chu Ying was talking with Mrs. Tai, when she heard that her sister-in-law was coming, she greeted her affectionately.

Lu Mingyu subconsciously looked at Chu Ying's lower abdomen first. Chu Ying is also pregnant, and she just got out last month.

Sensing her sister-in-law's gaze, Chu Ying blushed, and tried to tease her niece in the car as if to cover up.Tangtang's head was covered by a cloak and hood, his face was blocked by a thick and warm fox fur collar, only a pair of beautiful red phoenix eyes were exposed.Raising her head and seeing her aunt, Tangtang raised her little hand vigorously, trying to tear off the collar that was in the way, but the sleeves of the coat were too long, and they couldn't touch her chin clumsily.

Tangtang anxiously called for her aunt.

Chu Ying helped her niece untie it with a smile, and stretched out her hand to hug Tangtang out.

"Let me do it." Chu Ying was pregnant for the first time, and Lu Mingyu was worried that her sister-in-law would lose her waist.

"It's okay, just hug for a while." Chu Ying didn't take it seriously, and went into the house with her niece in her arms.

"Tangtang is here, hurry up and give great-grandmother a hug." Mrs. Tai greeted her with a smile while sitting in the warm couch.Great-grandmother was kind to her, Tangtang also likes to play with great-grandmother now, just as Chu Ying helped her untie the cloak, before the thick outer robe was untied, the little girl scrambled towards Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai helped Tangtang untie her robe with her own hands.

Tangtang was wearing a peach red jacket, and sat down beside Mrs. Tai, with her upper body leaning against Mrs. Tai, grinning at her mother and aunt on the ground.Lu Mingyu and Chu Ying also got on the couch, and Mrs. Tai explained to Lu Mingyu: "Your brother-in-law hunted two deer, and sent one for us to taste the game. It just so happens that their masters will be at home tomorrow, so let's have a whole deer feast." .”

Lu Mingyu looked at Chu Ying and smiled. Liao Shou was good at hunting and often brought game over.

Mrs. Tai looked at the stomachs of the sister-in-law and sister-in-law, and immediately instructed: "But you can't eat too much venison, you all pay attention, and I also advise Shijin and the others."

Chu Ying was at a loss.

Lu Mingyu lowered her head slowly, her face was red.She still remembered that once Chu Xing went to a banquet, and when he came back, he tossed her for most of the night. Afterwards, she complained that he went crazy, and Chu Xing still plausibly said that it was because of eating venison.But since he knows that eating venison stimulates people, why doesn't he control it when he eats it?He obviously wanted to use venison to make a fool of himself.

Seeing that Lu Mingyu understood, Mrs. Tai asked Chu Ying to ask her sister-in-law.

Of course, Lu Mingyu couldn't say it in front of Mrs. Tai, and she only explained it tactfully when she sent Chu Ying out after lunch.Chu Ying was thin-skinned, and her neck was red after hearing this. When she returned home, she looked at the male deer locked in the fence, and secretly decided to persuade Liao Shou to keep this deer, at least not to eat it before the child was born.Liao Shou is good enough without eating venison. Chu Ying can't imagine what Liao Shou will look like after eating venison.

In the Duke's mansion, when Chu Xing came back in the evening, he heard that Liao Shou had sent a deer, so Chu Xing couldn't help staring at his wife.

Lu Mingyu glared at him: "What do you see me doing?"

Chu Xing smiled inexplicably, lowered his head to coax his daughter, and then seemed to forget about it.After resting at night, Chu Xing hugged his wife, whose body was getting plump due to pregnancy, and said softly while kissing gently: "Ah Nuan, our second child is three months old."

Lu Mingyu's heart beat faster, but she pretended not to understand, "What's wrong?"

Chu Xing smiled and moved forward, with his chest, abdomen and legs touching her, including Lord Xiaoguo.

Lu Mingyu became angry and pinched the back of his hand with her fingernails. Chu Xing didn't care about the little pain, and said into her ear, "Have a good rest tonight, and come back tomorrow night."

Lu Mingyu elbowed him, feeling flustered, but she also thought about it, it's just...

The next evening, I went to the Sanqiu Hall for a banquet. On the way, Chu Xing held his daughter in his arms, and Lu Mingyu followed beside him with downcast eyes. When he was almost at the Sanqiu Hall, she couldn't help but whispered: "You, eat less." She was afraid In the evening, he got excited and couldn't control it.

Chu Xing was tall, and when he caught a glimpse of Chu Sui and Wan Shu over there, he just squeezed his wife's little hand.

Lu Mingyu turned her head to avoid him, and then saw Chu Sui and his wife.

She and Chu Xing stopped.

"Second Uncle!" Tangtang called Chu Sui excitedly. She didn't know if the little girl only called her favorite, or if she really didn't want to talk to Wan Shu. She clearly recognized that the second uncle was next to her second aunt, but Tangtang just didn't call her.

"Tangtang, give Second Uncle a hug." Chu Sui smiled as soon as he saw Tangtang, and strode over.

In front of his wife, younger siblings, Chu Xing has always been a steady and majestic Duke, and he handed over his daughter happily.Chu Sui, who was able to hug his niece smoothly only at this time, took a deep look at his elder brother, with obvious sarcasm and disdain in his eyes.

If you pretend, you know how to pretend in front of women!

The two brothers "fight openly and secretly" for Tangtang, and Lu Mingyu and Wan Shu took the initiative to walk in front.Wan Shu is no longer bothered by Queen Wan's accident, but she is obviously thinner than three months ago, and her previous arrogance is no longer on her face.

But Lu Mingyu feels that Wan Shu is more difficult to get along with now than before.In the past, everything on Wan Shu's mind was written on her face, but now the arrogance on Wan Shu's face has been replaced by gloom, making it hard to figure out what she is thinking.After exchanging pleasantries, seeing that Wan Shu didn't want to talk, Lu Mingyu walked away on her own, and Chu Sui coaxed her daughter after listening.

Wan Shu walked silently for a while, secretly glanced at Lu Mingyu beside her.

She and Lu Mingyu were both well-known noble daughters in the capital before they got married, and they married into the Duke's mansion successively.Lu Mingyu married the Duke, and she married the Duke's cousin.Lu Mingyu became pregnant soon after marriage, and after giving birth to a daughter, she was pregnant with another. As for her, she had a concubine who appeared out of nowhere during her newlyweds, but there was no news of her own stomach for a long time.Lu Mingyu's aunt was an imperial concubine in the palace, her aunt was deposed, and the position of empress would most likely fall to Lu Mingyu's aunt.

No matter before or after marriage, Lu Mingyu has always dominated her.

Why is God so unfair?How could Lu Mingyu have a better life than her?
Wan Shu clenched her hands tightly.

During the meal, men and women had separate tables, Lu Mingyu sat at the lower right of Mrs. Tai, Tangtang's small wooden cart was placed between her and Mrs. Tai, and Wan Shu sat on the other side.It's not speculative, Lu Mingyu mainly chats and laughs with Mrs. Tai, eats a couple of bites by herself, and then feeds her daughter, occasionally looks at the opposite side, and every time she meets Chu Xing's eyes, her heart is extraordinarily sweet at that time.

After eating, Lu Mingyu habitually left her seat from the right side, and was about to turn around to push her daughter, when someone tripped her foot, Lu Mingyu's heart suddenly rose to her throat, but the person had already rushed forward uncontrollably.Various thoughts flashed through her mind, but in fact it was only for a moment. Lu Mingyu instinctively protected her lower abdomen, and the next moment she fell to the ground together with Caisang who rushed over to help her.

"Sister-in-law!"

"A Nuan!"

Wan Shu's exclamation, Mrs. Tai's shocked voice, and Chu Xing's frightened shout came to her ears at the same time, but Lu Mingyu didn't care to respond to anyone. She closed her eyes and felt her body silently. Her stomach hurts a bit, but it shouldn't be a serious problem. , and then the nervous beating heart calmed down a little.

A pair of powerful big hands supported her steadily, Lu Mingyu raised her head, and met Chu Xing's anxious and concerned phoenix eyes, "Ah Nuan, where did you hit?"

Lu Mingyu's face was pale, and she forced a smile: "It's okay, but let's invite the doctor to come." The child is important, and she dare not take risks.

Chu Xing had just drank wine, but at this time his complexion was no better than that of Lu Mingyu. He ordered the servant girl to invite the doctor in a deep voice, and then helped his wife and said to Mrs. Tai: "Grandmother, Ah Nuan may have a fetal gas, I want to let her stay with you first." Rest here, and return to Dingfengtang after Langzhong has seen it."

"It's supposed to be like this, why are you being polite to me, don't talk about it, first help Ah Nuan to lie on the couch." Mrs. Tai has been looking forward to her eldest grandson daughter-in-law to give her a great-grandson, even more so than Lu Mingyu and his wife. The unborn child in the middle, hurriedly exhorted.

Chu Xing nodded and signaled the wet nurse to take care of his daughter. He ignored Erfang's family and picked up Lu Mingyu as if no one else was there, and walked towards Dongcijian with a calm face.Lu Mingyu leaned obediently in her husband's arms, and when Chu Xing turned around, she fixedly looked at Wan Shu, her peach blossom eyes were as calm as deep well water, without any waves.

When their eyes met, Wan Shu's eyes flashed uneasiness, but seeing Lu Mingyu being carried away by Chu Xing, Wan Shu quickly calmed down again.She tripped Lu Mingyu on purpose, but no one knew except Lu Mingyu, even if Lu Mingyu said it, she could deny it, and Chu Sui would not convict her without evidence.

She only hoped that Lu Mingyu's fall was hard enough, and it would be best if she lost her child!
In the second time, Chu Xinggang carefully put his wife on the warm couch, Mrs. Chu supported Mrs. Tai, Wan Shu and sister-in-law Chu Xiang also came in, and the wet nurse walked in the back with Tangtang in her arms.Tangtang just saw her mother stumble, now she recovered, and finally realized that she was crying, so she went to find her mother.

Lu Mingyu softly asked Chu Xing to bring his daughter over.

Chu Xing saw that she was still calm, so he went to pick up his daughter, but he didn't hand it over to his wife. He coaxed her in a low voice: "Mother is not feeling well, Tangtang is obedient, Daddy hugs you."

Tangtang looked at her mother, seeing her smiling at her, the little girl gradually stopped crying.

Mrs. Tai was supported by Mrs. Chu and walked to Lu Mingyu's side, touched the bottom of Lu Mingyu's skirt, and made sure that there was no redness, so she said kindly: "Ah Nuan, why are you so careless?" You are already a child's mother.

Lu Mingyu looked at Mrs. Tai with complicated eyes.Miracle doctor Ge calculated the life expectancy twice for Mrs. Tai, once said to live for three years, and once said to live until the end of this year.It's the end of the year now, but Mrs. Tai looks pretty tough, maybe because she has a big heart and a fat body, so she doesn't need to worry about it.Even so, the three-year period is less than a year away.

Lu Mingyu didn't want to identify Wan Shu in front of Mrs. Tai, and didn't want Mrs. Tai to worry about it.

"Maybe I was too full just now, so I was careless." Lu Mingyu said with a smile.

She was still in the mood to joke, Mrs. Tai couldn't help laughing, and seeing that the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law didn't look very painful, she felt a little relieved.

Behind Mrs. Tai, Wan Shu's mouth twitched imperceptibly when she heard Lu Mingyu's words.No matter why Lu Mingyu didn't expose her, if he didn't expose her now and then changed his words later, it would be even more difficult to convince everyone.

Two quarters of an hour later, Lang Zhong hurried over.

Chu Xing stared at the doctor with a serious expression.

After the doctor took Lu Mingyu's pulse, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to Chu Xing: "Mrs. Guo's pulse is stable, and there is nothing serious. To be cautious, I will prescribe an anti-pregnancy soup for my wife. I will take it once tonight, and I will come back tomorrow morning." Call for the lady's pulse."

Chu Xing thanked him solemnly, and sent someone to send the doctor out of the mansion.

After a false alarm, everyone in the second room dispersed first, and Fan Yi also sent someone to carry a soft sedan chair to take Lu Mingyu back to Dingfeng Hall.

Tangtang was already asleep, and was taken to rest by the nursing mother. Chu Xing picked up his wife from the soft sedan chair, and walked slowly to the inner room like a treasure, and then gently put her on the bed.Returning to her own territory, Lu Mingyu really relaxed, and just about to change into a more comfortable position, suddenly Chu Xing's unrecognizable voice of joy and anger came from beside her ear, "Ah Nuan, just now, did you really fall down by yourself? "

This child is not easy to come by, Chu Xing does not believe that his wife will be so careless.

When Lu Mingyu heard this, her eyes instantly got wet.

She was also worried about whether Wan Shu Chu Xing would believe her, but Chu Xing already believed her to the point that she was sure that she would not put their children in danger for no reason.
