Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 149

"No matter what, he will not be our enemy, and it will be beneficial to us." After Yu Shaoheng gave her an answer that made her feel at ease, he asked, "Why are you so concerned about this matter?"

"What I'm concerned about is whether Shaoyun will be troubled by it. Don't worry now." Ye Xizhao breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I just ordered someone to invite the imperial physician."

"It's better to have a conclusion earlier." Yu Shaoheng smiled at this.

"Stay with me for a while, wait for the imperial doctor to leave before you go out."

Yu Shaoheng bowed his head and kissed her lips, then shook her hand, "No matter what, the most important thing is that we stay together."

"Yeah." Ye Xizhao nodded lightly, and leaned into his arms, "I'm not worried, I just need you to accompany me. After all, it's between the two of us."

"Yes."

After Sister Xin woke up from her afternoon nap, she clamored to find Yu Shaoheng and Ye Xizhao.Seeing that the weather was fine, Mrs. Tai personally led Sister Xin to the main room, and she had the right to let her granddaughter accompany her to relax.

Entering the main courtyard, she happened to see the imperial physician entering the hall, the imperial lady thought that Ye Xizhao's body was unwell, so she hurriedly called Feng Lan to her and asked what was going on.

Feng Lan said in a low voice: "Madam, don't worry, Madam just wants the imperial doctor to take the pulse...Madam is always a little tired lately."

After Madam Tai heard this, her eyes lit up, and then she signaled that there is no need to disturb the couple in the room, and instead she took Sister Xin to the wing room, and asked the wet nurse to coax Sister Xin for a while.When he turned outside the hall door, he heard the imperial physician's loud congratulations:

"Congratulations, Lord Hou! My wife is a happy pulse!"

Yu Shaoheng said calmly, "Thank you."

This time, Mrs. Tai couldn't show her emotions and anger, and when she heard that smile lines appeared on her lips, but the corners of her eyes were already slightly wet, and she hurriedly went to see Ye Xizhao.

Yuanyang hurriedly took two steps, closed the curtain in front, and said: "Master Hou, Mrs. Tai is here."

Yu Shaoheng and the imperial physician were talking in the hall.

The imperial doctor stepped forward to pay respects, but Mrs. Tai just nodded perfunctorily and went to the dormitory.

Ye Xizhao heard the words of the imperial physician just now clearly, and also heard the sound of the mandarin duck, who was about to go down to the ground at this moment.

"Don't move, don't move, just lie down." Mrs. Tai stepped forward to stop Ye Xizhao, and when she repeatedly urged her, she realized that her voice was a little choked up.

"Mother..." Ye Xizhao saw tears in the old man's eyes, and he had mixed feelings for a moment, and his eyes were red.

"Good boy." Mrs. Tai took the big welcoming pillow and put it on Ye Xizhao's back. After she sat down, she stroked Ye Xizhao's eyebrows, "This is a great thing, don't cry, be happy."

"En!" Ye Xizhao nodded vigorously, but his heart ached even more, so he took the handkerchief and wiped away the tears for Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai showed a loving smile, and turned her head to tell Yuanyang, "Quickly order someone to go to the prime minister's mansion to announce the good news to my in-laws."

"Yes!" Yuanyang smiled and turned to go out.

Mrs. Tai held Ye Xizhao's hand, "I just say you are a blessed one, and you will be able to get what you want."

"Mother and Lord Hou take care of me everywhere, so I can have today." Ye Xizhao couldn't understand more than that, if Mrs. Tai and Yu Shaoheng didn't give her any burdens and made her feel happy, it would be even more difficult for her to have today.

"You deserve it." Mrs. Tai calmed down and asked with a smile, "Is it just that you feel tired? Don't you have anything to eat?"

Ye Xizhao pursed his lips and smiled, "It may be that the time is short, but it's just that I get tired easily." As he spoke, he thought of the time when he was pregnant with Sister Xin, "It was the same when I had Sister Xin."

"That's because the child is sensible, so don't bother you." Mrs. Tai thought for a moment, and then said, "In the future, I will take sister Xin with me every day, and let your third sibling help you share some housework. The first three months are the most important, you You can’t be tired every day.” Having said this, he couldn’t help poking Ye Xizhao’s eyebrows, “Going to see the Jing’s family to congratulate you today? It’s long overdue for the imperial doctor to take the pulse. You must let me know wherever you go in the future. I said yes before you can go out."

"Okay, okay." Ye Xizhao shook Mrs. Tai's hand, "I will listen to you in everything from now on."

"That's right." Mrs. Tai smiled with satisfaction and stood up, "I'll go back to the room first and talk to your third sibling about it. Don't move, lie down peacefully."

Ye Xizhao smiled and said hello.

Yu Shaoheng sent the imperial physician away, talked with Mrs. Tai for a while, and then went back to the dormitory and sat by the bed.

With a comfortable smile, Ye Xizhao threw herself into his arms, and softly called his name.

At such a moment, Yu Shaoheng had imagined it a few days ago, and felt that either she or he would fall into ecstasy.

Not so.

At this time, she can only be calm and indifferent; at this time, he can only be full of bitterness.

In the past few years, she has really suffered.

After quietly embracing each other for a while, Ye Xizhao distanced himself from him, "It's getting late, you go to the Ministry of War. I'm also a little tired, and I want to sleep."

"I'll stay with you for a while."

"No, just come back earlier in the evening."

Yu Shaoheng placed her to lie down and hugged her tightly, "I'll leave when you fall asleep."

"Alright." Ye Xizhao removed the hairpin from his head, and lay down with his clothes on.

After a while, sister Xin was led by her nurse, calling her father and mother to come in, turned around the screen, and went to the bed.

Ye Xizhao managed to pull himself together, leaned on his elbow with a smile, and held his daughter's little hand, "Missing mother?"

"Yeah!" Sister Xin showed a sweet and innocent smile, "I miss my mother, I miss my father."

"You are impartial." Ye Xizhao asked softly, "Do you want Daddy to play with you, or do you want to sleep with me?"

Sister Xin thought for a while, "Let Daddy accompany you."

Ye Xizhao smiled and lay back, and said to Yu Shaoheng, "Did you hear that? Go."

Yu Shaoheng also laughed, and seeing that she was indeed very tired, he hugged Sister Xin, "Go to sleep."

"Ah."

After Ye Xizhao woke up, Xia He told her that Yu Shaoheng coaxed Sister Xin for a while before going to the Ministry of War.At this time, the wet nurse and Feng Lan sent Sister Xin to Mrs. Tai's room.

Ye Xizhao nodded, and then asked Xia He to order someone to inform Qiao Chen.Qiao Chen should have known about this in time, and when she knew, Qiao An would also know.

After dressing and dressing, the third lady came over.

Ye Xizhao went to Dongci Room to talk to her.

The third lady spoke sincerely: "Congratulations to my sister-in-law."

After Ye Xizhao thanked him, he said, "I will bother you to help me in the future."

The third wife said with a sly smile: "Not only me, but also the second sister-in-law - I just told Mrs. Tai that when the second sister-in-law finishes her confinement, let her help the eldest sister-in-law with me. The second sister-in-law is not human Fireworks, it’s time to go down to earth.”

Ye Xizhao couldn't help laughing, "Seeing you like this, Mrs. Tai agrees?"

The third lady nodded, her smile became brighter, "Madam Tai agrees with both hands."

Ye Xizhao admired the third wife more and more - having the second wife take care of the affairs of the house together would prevent her from being suspected of repeating the same mistakes, and the situation of a group of sisters-in-law working together couldn't be more perfect.

In terms of the ability to settle down with the situation, most people can't compare with the third lady.

The third lady said again: "Just now I have gone to the second sister-in-law's room and talked about it. The second sister-in-law keeps saying that, how can I do that? She keeps saying that she is not that material, and that now two children are enough for her." gone."

Ye Xizhao could easily imagine the second wife's reaction.

Immediately, the third lady twitched her lips disapprovingly, "I just told her: Why can't you do it? The sister-in-law has to take care of Sister Xin, and she has to be filial to Mrs. Tai. After you are pregnant, she will take care of you in big and small ways. Host There’s no need to talk about it—it’s busier than taking care of two children, isn’t it?” At this point, she smiled narrowly, “She couldn’t find an excuse to shirk after what I told her, so she warned me instead. Be careful, don't let her get caught in the wrong place. I say we are each other."

Ye Xizhao narrowed his eyes and smiled lightly, "You too, talk about people like peas in a bamboo tube, so I'm not afraid that she will be angry and hurt her friendship."

"No." The third lady's smile became gentler, "I will be angry with her, but I will also make her happy. When I went out, she was already smiling." She took a sip of tea and said, "Mrs. Madame is waiting for you, shall I accompany you there?"

"Okay."

When Mrs. Tai saw the third lady, she smiled and pointed at her, "Should I say you are eloquent, or should I say you are heartless? Just now the maid in your second sister-in-law's room came over and asked if you want her to leave after confinement." I asked a few more questions about helping your sister-in-law, and then I realized that you almost got angry when you questioned your second sister-in-law—you are so angry with such a temperless person."

The third lady responded with a smile: "Of course I am heartless. If I went with a plan, I would never offend my second sister-in-law like this."

"It's hard for you to know." Mrs. Tai patted her side, called her two daughter-in-laws to sit beside her, and looked at the Nuan Pavilion again, "Sister Xin and Brother Hao are playing together." Ye Xizhao said, "No matter what, Yusheng and Siniang will be able to take care of you for a while in the future, you can just take care of your baby."

"Yes." Ye Xizhao smiled brightly, "I can also be lazy with peace of mind."

Regarding the innocuous bickering between the second wife and the third wife, Mrs. Tai and Ye Xizhao have the same attitude.Speaking of which, no matter what the third lady said, it would not be a bad thing for the second lady to stop being an idler.Sooner or later, the second wife will have to take care of her own life on her own, and if she has accumulated some experience when she was young, she will not be at a loss by then.

On the second day, Mrs. Meng came over.

Like Mrs. Tai, Meng's reaction to this incident was far happier than that of Ye Xizhao, who was involved, and she also had a lot of emotions, so she held Ye Xizhao's hand and gave instructions for a long while.

Ye Xizhao responded one by one with a smile.

Afterwards, Mrs. Meng talked about Second Aunt's illness, "I'm afraid it won't be a few days."

Ye Xizhao was silent for a moment, "My second brother...."

Meng Shi said: "Your father and I have tried our best. From time to time, we go to the second aunt's room to sit and talk to her. Do your best and obey the destiny. She and your second brother are both sensible people, and Fang Fei is always comforting Both of them are fine."

"That's good." Ye Xizhao asked Xu Shi again, "How is my sister-in-law?"

Meng said with a wry smile: "I was ill in the first month. Your elder brother invited Qiao Chen to treat him and take care of him with all his heart. After he recovered, I also told her about the severity and asked her to take care of Brother Tao for a while every day. , I have cheered up these few days, and I will take care of the inner house together with Fangfei." The voice paused, and then said, "After the matter of the second aunt is over, and your sister-in-law has really figured out these things, I will let her preside over it. Give it back. Not right now, I’m still not at ease with her—taking bribes privately, your father gets tired of mentioning it.”

Ye Xizhao knew that now his mother knew all about the affairs of the house, and said distressedly: "Mother still has to work for a year or two before she can be free."

"I'm so busy that your elder brother's house is in order, no matter how busy you are, I'm happy." Meng Shi smiled and squeezed Ye Xizhao's hand, "I can rest assured of you now."

"I really don't have anything to worry about now, mother just relax." After Ye Xizhao said this, he added in his heart, except for Yu Shaoyun.

After Yu Shaoyun heard the good news about Ye Xizhao, he hurriedly sent Eunuch Wei to the Hou's mansion to express his congratulations.

The weather became warmer day by day, and she was bored in the afternoon, so she went for a stroll in the Imperial Garden and met Concubine Shu head-on.

Concubine Shu bowed her knees and saluted.

Yu Shaoyun looked down at Concubine Shu from a high position.After being raised for a month, the whole person has not recovered, and even after applying heavy makeup, she can't hide her haggard look.A part of the women in the harem are proud and frustrated because of the man's favor and neglect.After a moment of silence, she calmed down Concubine Shu.

When Concubine Shu got up, her eyes fell on Yu Shaoyun's abdomen, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.

Yu Shaoyun ignored her and walked away slowly.

The flowers in the imperial garden are carefully cared for by the gardeners, and they always bloom earlier and more beautifully than those outside the palace.The flowers in one place withered, and the flowers in another place bloomed again.Flower appreciators always have something to see, but it is rare for flowers to bloom all the time.

This situation is much like the women in the harem.

Turning a corner, he saw Zhong Liye's figure.In front of him was an unfamiliar guard who was whispering something back.

Yu Shaoyun stood still.

Zhong Liye waved his hand, ordered the guards to retreat, and walked slowly in front of her, "It's rare that you are in this mood, I will walk with you."

Yu Shaoyun smiled and thanked.

Zhong Liye said as he walked: "Someone recommended a few women to me, and they have been sent to the capital."

"Really?" Yu Shaoyun answered casually.

Zhong Liye discussed her, "They are all outstanding people, but I am not very interested, why not send them to the important officials?"

Yu Shaoyun's eyes narrowed slightly, "The emperor means—"

"Yongping Marquis Zisi is in a difficult situation, you have always kept this matter in mind—"

Yu Shaoyun's eyes turned cold, "What does the emperor mean by these words?"

"You or the queen mother preached orally, and bestowed on the Marquis Yongping the person who looks close to the eyes."

Yu Shaoyun raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a hint of sternness, "If the emperor is doing something difficult for the heirs of the Marquis of Yongping, there is no need to reward him. Madam Yongping Marquis already has a happy pulse." Afterwards, his eyebrows relaxed, "I feel that the concubine in the harem After all, there are fewer concubines, if there are beautiful women, the emperor might as well keep them for his own use."

The words were not pleasant to listen to, but the ups and downs of her calm and watery mood that lasted for too long made him feel a little bit of joy for no reason, "It's really not easy to hear you say so much in one breath."

Yu Shaoyun sneered: "The purpose of my concubines is to remind the emperor that it is very common for the emperor to give marriages to courtiers, but it is really rare to give concubines to courtiers. The emperor can't do such things, and the concubines can't do it." For whatever purpose, it was the act of a foolish king—she didn't say this, but it was revealed from the corners of her eyes and brows.

Zhong Liye asked leisurely: "Do I insist on this?"

"The concubines dare not obey orders."

"What if you replace Marquis Yongping with someone else?"

"What's the difference?"

Zhong Liye laughed and took her hand, "I'm just joking with you, you don't need to take it seriously. I've heard about Mrs. Yongping Hou's happy event. It's a rare pair of lovers. How can I let them add trouble. "

Yu Shaoyun was dubious, and decided that his words were an introduction, and he must have some plans, so he smiled perfunctorily and waited for the following.

Sure enough, Zhong Liye changed the subject, "Mrs. Yongping Hou is a good wife, which makes Yongping Hou focus on being loyal to the country. But Mrs. Yiyonghou is quite different, making Yiyonghou less loyal and more slack. In this case, I also We can only find a sensible woman to serve him and remind him to do his duty is the right way."

Yu Shaoyun was very surprised, "Your Majesty..." After thinking for a moment, he guessed, "You asked the Queen Mother to give a concubine to the mansion for Marquis Yi Yong?"

"No. As you said, you can't do this kind of thing, and neither can the queen mother. Anyone who hears it will know that it's my idea. Rather than dragging you to be criticized by the officials, it's better for me to be the villain. That woman He has entered Yiyonghou's mansion according to the secret decree."

Yu Shaoyun fell silent.It turned out that he had made up his mind.Maybe Xiao Xun is just the beginning, the next one will be her elder brother, and she has no way to stop it.

Thinking about the lazy Xiao Xun in his memory, thinking about Xiao Xun and his eldest brother secretly supporting him after he entered the palace, and thinking about how difficult it was for Xiao Xun and Qiao An to walk together for a few years, he couldn't help but sigh silently.

Zhong Liye said goodbye to her, and when she returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she looked at his back with a bitter smile.The people who treated him with no other intentions were being suspected by him one by one and hurt by him.Does he have to fall to the point where he is alone, to understand that he should not listen to slander, and to understand that everything he does should not be done.

There was an extra woman in Xiao's mansion for no reason, and she entered the mansion following the emperor's secret decree. After Qiao An was shocked, she couldn't laugh or cry.This is not a gift of marriage, it is an absurd thing that people can't even find a reason to resist the decree. It can't be said that there is no place for a woman in the mansion, right?

Ye Xizhao got the news at the same time.

No matter who rewards the woman, you can ignore it.

So, did the emperor intend to let the woman spy on Xiao Xun's affairs?

And if this is the case, does it mean that the emperor no longer believes in Xiao Xun?What is the reason?

Be puzzled.

If something happened to Xiao Xun, it would be a catastrophe.

Thinking of this, I can't help feeling cold to the bone.
