Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 118 Prince Ning's Mansion (4)
Seeing his wife bowing her head in sadness and not speaking, Prince Ning was also very upset. He put his arms around his wife's slender waist and said hesitantly: "Otherwise, it might be useful to ask the emperor for my husband. Ze'er is fine with that." It's over."

Princess Ning shook her head, and said sadly: "I don't want it anymore. The emperor hates this kind of thing the most. The prince's life has only gotten better in the past few years. I can't let the emperor trouble you again."

Prince Ning and the current emperor are direct brothers, and he also had meritorious service in the past, but after ascending the throne, the most guarded one is his own younger brother, Prince Ning Xiaoyu.That is to say, over the years, Prince Ning has been walking around and fighting dogs without caring about political affairs, and he is willing to develop in the direction of the dandy prince. The brotherhood was recounted, and trust was used to him.Prince Ning and Princess Ning have personally experienced this tortuous past, that's why she said such words.

Prince Ning remained silent, thinking of the good brother and emperor in the palace, Prince Ning's heart also turned cold.

Just when Prince Ning and his wife were worried about Xiao Ze, Xiao Xi, who had already "cared about" the third brother in Haoranju, went to Zhong Yuyuan, the eldest brother Xiao Nuo's.As a brother who lost his mother, Xiao Xi has always been very close to his eldest brother. He almost ate and slept with his eldest brother until his eldest brother got married.So it was much easier for him to enter Zhongyu Garden than to go back to his own Bohang Garden.

"The second younger brother is here!" The eldest concubine Cheng heard the servants report that it was the second young master who came, and ordered someone to invite her husband, and then rushed out to welcome her.She knows that her husband treats this younger brother unusually, so she is also very close to him, far from just showing respect to the third younger brother Xiao Ze.

"Sister-in-law please greet me." Seeing her sister-in-law coming out to greet her, Xiao Xi immediately bowed deeply and made a long bow.

The concubine Shizi smiled and helped her up: "My brother is still so polite, please get up quickly, your elder brother is practicing sword in the back, and he has already sent someone to invite him, he will come when you are young, second brother, sit down quickly, yesterday your elder brother I just got some purple bamboo shoot tea, and I said that I want to drink tea with you. You sit down first, and I will cook tea for you brothers."

Xiao Xi agreed with a smile, and seeing his sister-in-law turn around and walk into the small atrium next to her, a vague look flashed in Xiao Xi's eyes.

"Ah Xi, you are here..." The eldest son Xiao Yu was dressed in a light green dress, holding a sword upside down in his hand, and a snow-white handkerchief around his neck. It can be seen that he immediately took it away when he heard the servant's report. Jian hurried over, never going back to his room to change clothes.

"Brother, you are still practicing swords in this hot weather. Turning around is not for fun." Xiao Xiying stepped forward to take the sword from elder brother and handed it to Yiliu's sword servant boy, and then stretched out his hand to pass the wet gift that the maid had just sent. Handkerchief, wipe off the big brother himself.The brothers did a lot of things like this when they were two children, so it seems so casual and natural to do it now.

The eldest concubine Cheng saw that the two brothers were very close through the flower window in the ear room, a slight sadness appeared on her brows, and then she smiled again, suppressing the bitterness in her heart, and concentrated on cooking purple rice. Bamboo shoot tea.

"Ah Xi, where did you come from?" Xiao You asked with a smile after sitting down.

Xiao Xi smiled and said: "So that Big Brother knows, I went to Haoranju today."

"Oh, how is the third brother?" Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked not very enthusiastically.

"It's still the same old look, it seems that there is nothing to do, and when I met my mother and concubine on the road, it seems that I was crying a lot in Haoranju." Xiao Xi said with a proud smile.

Xiao Nuo frowned, and glanced at the people serving in the hall, although all those who could serve here were his confidantes, but Xiao Nuo, who was always careful not to leave any traces, still gave his younger brother a look, and said in a low voice: " There is no gatekeeper here." Seeing that Shizi was unhappy, the servants hurriedly withdrew.Although they are well aware of what the son and the second son are thinking.

After a while, the concubine Shizi personally brought out the cooked purple bamboo shoot tea, Xiao Yufang said with a smile: "Ah Xi, this is the purple bamboo shoot tea that His Royal Highness rewarded, there is not much tea in the palace, I got two taels, I just waited for you to drink it, try it and see how it tastes?" My elder brother stood in line early in the morning, wholeheartedly supporting the current crown prince Xiao Chuo, Xiao Xi already knew about this.

Taking a sip, Xiao Xi tasted it on his tongue again and again, Fang nodded and said with a smile: "Light but not mellow but not thick, it really is a rare good tea!"

As soon as Xiao Nuo heard his younger brother say the tea was good, he turned his head and said to his wife, "Wrap up all the leftover purple bamboo shoot tea and bring it back to Ah Xi, he has a tricky mouth." The imperial concubine replied with a smile: "Yes, my concubine. Go get it now." After speaking, Cheng went to the ear room.

Xiao Nuo looked at his wife's back, and the smile on his face gradually faded. This wife was chosen by him, regardless of family background, character and appearance. Well, there is one thing that is wrong. She has been married into Prince Ning's mansion for five years and has not conceived. Xiao You has been looking forward to a son to a child, regardless of gender. Even if it is an egg, his wife is still pregnant.After waiting for five years, Xiao Nuo did not expect his wife to become pregnant.

Of course Xiao Xi knew what was on the mind of the elder brother, he lowered his voice and persuaded: "Brother, you and sister-in-law are both young, don't worry, there will always be."

Xiao Yu let out a long sigh, not in a hurry, how could he not be in a hurry?Not to mention those who got married at the same time as him, the prince who got married two years later than him has been married for three years, and is already the father of a pair of children.But he, who has been married for five years, can't even see the shadow of his children.

Cheng Shi, the eldest concubine who walked into the ear room, heard her husband's sigh, and her heart skipped a beat.She didn't have to ask or look back to know why her husband sighed.Husband is in a hurry, how can she not be in a hurry? The younger sister who married three years later than her has already become a mother, but she, the eldest sister, has never been pregnant. been pregnant.Bowing her head to wipe away the tears from her eyes, Cheng knew that she had to make up her mind.

Quickly cleared up her mood, and returning to her husband and brother-in-law, Cheng Shi had already recovered her dignity, only to hear Cheng Shi smile and say: "Master, I just sent you a very good fresh lotus root and Siamese fragrant pig today. There are still a few fresh fruits and vegetables in season, it would be great to eat them in a boil, how about inviting younger siblings over to have a light meal together?"

Xiao Nuo immediately nodded and said: "You are right, Ah Xi, you haven't eaten at brother's place for a few days, send someone back and invite your younger siblings to come over."

Xiao Xi had no choice but to agree, he had been married for more than a year, and his wife Sun was not pregnant, because this wife was not the daughter of the princely family he wanted to marry, so Xiao Xi usually only treated his wife indifferently, Just be more enthusiastic in bed at night.Xiao Xi is not a womanizer, his purpose is very clear, that is to give birth to his father Prince Ning's eldest grandson in the first place, so as to increase his own weight.It's just that Xiao Xi didn't sleep alone almost every night, but he couldn't grow jade in the blue field, so he became even more indifferent to Sun during the day.
