Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 77 Preparing for Zhang Jing

Chapter 77 Getting Ready to Return to Beijing
"The king of the little county is learning how to take care of the young master from the princess!" Yunniang explained to her with a smile while putting the food in the food box on the kang table.

Hearing this, Chu Ci breathed a sigh of relief. After what happened to Nanny Gong, she no longer believes in nurses. In the future, she still has to bring the two children by herself.

"Girl, chicken soup." Yunniang opened the soup cup, filled out a bowl of chicken soup with a strong aroma, and brought it to Chu Ci.

Chu Ci smelled the fragrance, but his brows were slightly wrinkled.After pondering for a while, she tentatively dipped a little bit of it with her hand and put it to her mouth to taste... She guessed right, there was indeed something wrong!
"Girl!" Seeing Chu Ci's face suddenly darken, Yun Niang called out cautiously, "Is there something wrong with this chicken soup?"

Chu Ci nodded, looked at her, and said with a wry smile, "For more than ten years, Nanjun Wangfu has been used to being kind and generous to others and himself. When nothing happened, he didn't feel anything. Now when something happens, the disadvantages immediately It became apparent that the entire county palace is like a sieve, full of loopholes everywhere."

When Yun Niang heard what Chu Ci said, her expression tensed immediately, "Then what should we do now?"

"What to do..." Chu Ci chewed on these three words, then sighed quietly, "I will think about the solution in the future. The most important thing now is to solve your girl's food and clothing."

Yun Niang pursed her lips, then looked at the other dishes, "Are there any problems with these?"

Chu Ci looked down at the other dishes, paused for a moment, then pursed his lips and said, "Half and half!"

Yun Niang's face turned pale instantly after she finished speaking, she pursed her lips lightly, and was about to persuade Chu Ci to leave the Nanjun Palace temporarily.

But before he could say anything, Chu Ci suddenly cast his eyes on her, and asked suspiciously, "Yunniang, I remember that your cooking skills seem to be good too?"

"The girl means..."

"You go to the small kitchen and help me make a custard, and bring a piece of the ancient brown sugar I made earlier."

"Yes, girl!" Yunniang agreed, and retreated outside.

After a while, she put a small piece of brown sugar on a bone china plate.

Chu Ci soaked the brown sugar into the millet porridge in front of him - porridge is fine.

"The servant girl is going to make custard now?"

Chu Ci said nothing, watching her take away the side dishes of chicken soup in front of her, and then sip the rice porridge in small sips.

When the bowl was about to finish, King Lu Xiaojun came in from the outside when he learned that she had woken up.

Holding the child in his arms, there was a warm smile on his face.

"..." Chu Ci ignored him, and continued to drink the porridge casually.

Seeing this, King Lu Xiaojun took two steps forward, brought the child close to her, looked at her and said, "Xiao Er, Xin Er, this is your mother, please call mother..."

When Chu Ci heard the names of the two children, he couldn't help but look at him, chuckled, and said, "The baby is still so young, how can he be called mother!"

Hearing this, King Lu Xiaojun snorted disapprovingly, and said triumphantly, "That's not necessarily the case, and I don't know whose son it is! I said they would call parents, so I will!" Er and Xiner come.

Xiaoer and Xiner were so teased by him that they burst into tears with a whoosh.

When King Lu Xiaojun saw it, he was dumbfounded for a moment. He coaxed the child with "ohhh" and looked at Chu Ci begging for help. He hasn't learned how to coax the child not to cry yet!

Hearing the cries of the two children, Chu Ci also felt very distressed. Seeing this, he stretched out a hand to King Lu Xiaojun and said, "Give it to me!"

King Lu Xiaojun looked at her pale face and asked worriedly, "Are you strong enough?"

Chu Ci nodded.

King Lu Xiaojun handed Xiaoer to her hand.

Chu Ci took Xiao Er, and while stroking his brows and eyes to coax him, he asked King Lu Xiaojun, "Is this brother?"

King Lu Xiaojun said with a smile, "Yes, Xiao Er is the elder brother, and Xin Er is the younger brother!" As he spoke, a trace of resentment suddenly appeared on his face, he looked at her again, and said——

"Chu Xiaoci, since you are pregnant with twins, why did you only ask me to name them one?"

"I want to give you a surprise!" Chu Ci looked at him narrowly, "Why, does it feel happier to be a father to two children than to be a father to one child?"

"...It's okay!" Lu Xiaojun said kingly, "It's just a little bit of happiness!"

After all, his wife is so powerful, other people's daughters-in-law have to give birth to several births before they can give birth to the eldest son!And his wife, after this birth, not only gave birth to the eldest son, but even the second son!

"Hmph, just keep yelling in your heart!" Chu Ci glanced at him sideways, put Xiaoer by the pillow, and beckoned him to hug Xin'er.

Naturally, King Lu Xiaojun obeyed his orders.

The two touched their heads and looked at the two little bean dings lying there stretching their teeth and claws. After a while, Chu Ci seemed to think of something, and suddenly said, "Master, do Xiao Er and Xin Er look different?"

Although King Lu Xiaojun had the bottom line in his heart, he still looked at it carefully for a while, and then said, "It's not the same, Xin'er is more handsome than Xiaoer."

"Then I'm relieved!" Chu Ci heaved a sigh of relief.

She has not forgotten who the real father of these two children is.

Among the royal family, twins are the most intolerable.

If Xiao Er and Xin Er looked exactly the same, then the Queen Mother could justifiably kill the two children...

King Lu Xiaojun also thought of this, he held Chu Ci's hand tightly, "A Ci, no matter what happens, I will protect you and our two sons."

Chu Ci nodded.

Looking back, there is an idea in my heart that has taken shape.

But she didn't tell King Lu Xiaojun immediately, but held the hands of the two children and suppressed this idea for the time being.

"Girl, the custard is ready!" About a quarter of an hour later, Yun Niang came in from the outside, and placed the tray in front of Chu Ci with you.

Chu Ci lifted the porcelain cup and was about to eat it with a spoon.

On the side, King Lu Xiaojun's expression changed. He looked at Yunniang with displeasure, and said, "Didn't my concubine ask the kitchen to prepare chicken soup, soybean soup and pig's trotters, how many dishes? Why do you just give it to you girls?" Porridge, egg custard?!"

When Yunniang listened to Lu Xiaojun's questioning, she looked aggrieved.

She was about to explain, but Chu Ci put down the spoon and waved at her, "I know, it's not your fault, you go down first."

"Yes, girl!" Yun Niang blessed her body, turned around and retreated.

"What's going on?" After Yunniang left, King Lu Xiaojun looked at Chu Ci and asked.

Chu Ci sighed, and then told about the chicken soup, soybean and pig's trotter soup, and the addition of several dishes.

King Lu Xiaojun became enraged immediately after hearing this, jumped off the edge of the kang, slammed his fist on the wall, and sternly said, "These slaves! They even dare to kill my wife! I must kill them one by one. Find out! Never let them go!"

Seeing his furious appearance, Chu Ci frowned unobtrusively, and said, "Check it out, what are you shouting, what should I do if I scare Xiaoer and Xiner?!"

"I..." King Lu Xiaojun looked at Chu Ci angrily with red eyes.

Chu Ci didn't say anything to her, he picked up the spoon, ate the custard in front of him, and asked again and again, "How is the situation between Nanny Gong and Nanny Wang?"

King Lu Xiaojun squeezed his fist when he heard the words, raised his head and said, "I have already got the secret guards to interrogate it. It was done by the people from the capital city. They threatened Nanny Gong with the gold medal for assassination. If they don't attack you, let the local officials do it." The crime of entrapment will cost the lives of her whole family! Nanny Gong has no choice but to obey for the lives of the whole family..."

It's in the palace again!
Chu Ci tightly squeezed the porcelain spoon in his hand, because of too much force, his joints were slightly white.

King Lu Xiaojun saw all this in his eyes.

A deep sense of guilt floated on his face, he lowered his head and apologized, "It's all because I'm useless... Bai has grown up for so many years, and even a small county palace can't be wiped out. I'm useless... "

Chu Ci looked at his guilty look and didn't know what to say.In the end, he only uttered one sentence, "It's not your fault, I brought these on!"

"But you are my woman, you are my wife, protecting you is what I should do!" King Lu Xiaojun said, with an even more painful expression on his face.

He hugged his head, squatted down slowly, and said in a choked voice, "Chu Xiaoci, I always thought that as long as I worked hard to grow up, I would be worthy of you, but... But I didn't expect that there would be someone lurking beside me." , the eyeing enemy is so powerful, I... I still hurt you."

"I told you, I brought these on!" Chu Ci looked at him and sighed heavily, "It has nothing to do with you."

"You don't have to feel sorry, you're good enough."

"In this world, there are many powerful and capable people, but you are the only one who risked his life to protect me regardless of his own life or death. Lu Yifeng, you are really good enough."

"Really?" Lu Xiaojun Wang was still a little unconfident.

Looking up at Chu Ci, his eyes were wet, like a pet yearning for the love and affection of its master.

Chu Ci couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips, and said to him, "Of course it's true."

After the words fell, Lu Xiaojun Wang's always sad eyes suddenly lit up.

He slowly stood up and walked towards her, held her hand, his eyes were bright, his expression was radiant, and he said word by word, "Chu Xiaoci, you are so kind!"

Chu Ci bent his lips and said nothing.

The night passed.

In the past few days, Yunniang and Qingmiao have been taking care of Chuci closely.

On the side of Nanjun Wangfei, when she learned that Chu Ci's diet had been added, she was also furious, and immediately ordered a thorough investigation of all the servants.

But in two days, a small half of the dishonest people in the mansion were sent out.

In the end, all those who put medicine in the dishes were exposed.

But no matter how tortured they were, those people refused to admit that they had drugged the chicken soup and soybean trotter soup.

There was no other way, Princess Nanjun had no choice but to tell Chu Ci this incomplete explanation.

After listening to Chu Ci, he was silent for a moment, and asked Nanjun Wangfei, "They didn't admit to adding medicine to the soup, and didn't they find the medicine of Qianrihong in their room?"

Princess Nanjun nodded, and said with distressed expression, "Yes, I have been tortured several times, and the room has been dug three feet... But there is no result."

"Could it be that the medicine was not dispensed in the mansion?" Chu Ci asked suspiciously.

Princess Nanjun froze for a moment, "Aci, what do you mean..."

"If the person who poisoned was very scheming, and he didn't want people to find out, he could have poisoned the live chickens before they were bought... Mother, let someone go to Chajun Wangfu to see if he is buying live chickens Did anything unusual happen during that time?"

"Okay, I'll let someone go!" As she said that, she winked at Lianzi beside her.

Lianzi understood and immediately withdrew.

Princess Nanjun watched her back go away, and her eyes returned to Chu Ci's face. She sighed lowly and said, "It's the mother who didn't manage the palace well, so that those villains took advantage of the loopholes. Ah Ci, yes Mother is sorry for you."

Hearing the guilty look on Princess Nanjun's face, Chu Ci hurriedly held her hand, and said, "Mother, don't say that, it's all my fault, it was my arrival that attracted those people, I am the county concubine. Sinners of the palace! You and my father don’t blame me, I’m already thankful, now I have no right to blame you!”

"A Ci..." Nanjun Wangfei looked at her, her eyes turned red half a circle, and she held her hand and said, "Don't say that, we are a family! Did you forget Now, your grandmother's greatest wish before she died?"

"I dare not forget Ah Ci!" Chu Ci's eyes were tearful, and he lowered his head slowly.

It is not good to shed tears during confinement, Nanjun Princess raised her hand to help her wipe the corners of her eyes, fearing that she would cry again, she hurriedly changed the subject and said, "The only ones you serve personally are Yunniang and Qingmiao... Are they young? Since I haven't gone through the personnel affairs, my mother is always a little worried. How about, mother will point you to an old man who will serve by your side instead of mother?"

As she said that, she was afraid that Chu Ci would be worried about giving birth to someone else, so she added, "You know this person, it's none other than Nanny Zi who brought Dafeng'er and Zhaohua, her children died early, and she was going to live in the county palace. Elderly people are the most careful and honest, if you don't mind, I'll let her come and take care of you."

Chuci heard Nanjun Wangfei's sincerity, smiled and said, "No matter how good Madam Zi is, I'm afraid it's not suitable for the old man next to the eldest lady."

"There's nothing inappropriate about this." Princess Nanjun smiled and shook her head, then looked at Chu Ciyu and said earnestly, "Mother also knows that your sister was ignorant and hurt you before, but that was all in the past, she Now that I know I was wrong, I am more concerned about your affairs than her elder brother's affairs...Your lord has a lot, so don't worry about it with her, okay?"

Chu Ci shook her head. Princess Nanjun may have forgotten how Lu Zhaohua hurt her at that time, but she will never forget it.Anyone who wants to hurt her child, she will spend her whole life bearing grudges and will never forgive.

Even though she thought so, there was a Nanjun princess in the middle, and she told a lot of truths, so she had to change her way and said, "After all, the eldest lady has reached her age, and before and after marriage, she should need Mammy Zi more than I do. "

Princess Nanjun is not a fool.

Knowing that Chu Ci was trying to save face for her, she sighed and forced a smile, "Then I'll leave it up to you."

Chu Ci nodded, "I'm a doctor, and I will pay attention to everything that needs to be paid attention to. Mother doesn't need to worry too much."

"Yeah, that's right." Princess Nanjun nodded, with embarrassment flashing across her face.

And because of the lingering persecution of the Empress Dowager Ren, the three baptisms of the two children were not done in a big way, but only a small one was held in his own house.

By noon.

Lily, who was serving in the outer courtyard, suddenly walked to the corridor and called into the room, "Concubine Shizi, Mrs. Zhang brought this little prince to see him, do you want to see him?"

Madam Zhang?
After repeating these three words, Chu Ci thought for a long time before realizing that it was Zhang Diefang who she had treated last time.

He opened his mouth and was about to let Lily lead him in.

At this time, Yun Niang, who was sitting on the side making bellybands for the two babies, raised her head and said solemnly, "Girl, one more thing is worse than one less thing, or is it still gone?"

"It's okay." Chu Ci shook his head and smiled at her, "Madam Zhang is not that kind of person... Besides, we don't need to give up eating because of choking, because of other people's malice, even daily communication is gone! This is the same as going to jail What's the difference?"

"Okay, okay, since you want to see him, then I will ask Lily to invite Mrs. Zhang!" Yunniang couldn't say anything about Chu Ci, so she had to compromise.

While teasing the two little babies with a smile, Chu Ci winked at Yunniang.

Lily quickly brought Mrs. Zhang in.

Perhaps affected by the incident with the Lian family, Zhang Diefang lost a lot of weight, and her already sharp chin became even sharper now.

But fortunately, he looked good, much more lively than when he was at Lianjia.

She walked in with the baby in her arms.

After arriving in front of Chu Ci, she did not salute immediately, but handed the child in her hand to Yunniang, "Madam, can you help me hold the child?"

"Of course!" Yunniang said, and took the child over.

At the same time, Zhang Diefang fell to her knees in front of Chu Ci with a thud, without saying a word, there were three bang bang bang bangs.

"Sister Zhang, what are you doing...Qing Miao, hurry up and help Mrs. Zhang up!" Chu Ci said in astonishment.

Qing Miao took the order to help people.

But Zhang Diefang refused Qing Miao's support, she continued to look at Chu Ci, said gratefully and solemnly, "Concubine Shizi, for the first time, I apologize for the Lian family like you, no matter which family I belong to now Man, when your accident happened, I was a member of the Lian family, so I should apologize. This second head is for my child. Without your help, she might not be able to come to this world... The last head is for Myself! You saved me and gave me the opportunity to grow up with my child. I will remember you for this kindness forever!"

"Okay, I've received all your thanks, can you get up now?" Chu Ci said, winking at Qing Miao again.

Qing Miao went to help again, but Zhang Diefang didn't refuse, she stood up neatly.

Then he handed a purse to Yunniang, and said, "This is a small gesture, and I congratulate the concubine on the twins! The concubine is so lucky!"

Chuci looked at the two little babies beside him and smiled, "Thank you! You are also a lucky one! Little padded jacket, I will be caring when I grow up."

Hearing what Chu Ci said, Zhang Diefang seemed to be thinking of something, took his daughter from Yunniang, looked at Chu Ci with a bit of embarrassment and said, "Speaking of this, in recent days, I have actually There is one more merciless request!"

"Huh?" Chu Ci signaled Qing Miao to help Zhang Diefang sit down, and looked at her and asked softly, "I don't know what I can do for you? Sister Zhang, please tell me!"

"It's like this, you are this child's savior, and you are also my savior... I would like to ask you to name this child, which is also considered to be a little bit of your nobility and blessing, so that her Grow up safely, and live smoothly for the rest of your life!" Zhang Diefang looked at the daughter in her arms, then at Chu Ci, and said with some embarrassment.

After hearing this, Chu Ci showed a sincere smile on his face, "Since you have spoken, I will help you think of one. If you think it is good, you can use it. If it is not good, you can go back and let Master Zhang and Mrs. Zhang pick it up." OK."

Zhang Diefang nodded.

Chu Ci pondered for a moment, then said, "Ying, the water at three o'clock... Zhang Zaiying, what do you think of the meaning of being on the side of the water?"

Listening to Chu Ci's words, Zhang Diefang's eyes lit up all of a sudden, "Okay, it's really a good name... To tell you the truth, Shi Zifei, before I came, I happened to meet a fortune teller who said Yinger's fate There's no water in there!"

"That's really a coincidence." Chu Ci smiled with glistening eyes.

After a pause, Zhang Diefang was asked to bring the child over to show her.

The baby girl, who was just a few months old, had already grown a little, shed the layer of red at birth, and her complexion was whiter, her eyes were black and bright.

The more Chu Ci watched, the more he liked it, but when he looked at Xiao Er and Xin Er beside him, he felt a little disgusted.

Seeing the change in the expression on Chu Ci's face, Zhang Diefang smiled slightly and said, "The concubine, don't think that the little prince is not good-looking now. After a few days, when he grows up, he will definitely be more outstanding than the child's father, Xiaojun Wang." ..."

Chu Ci: "..." The first few sentences sounded good.But the last sentence, she didn't know how to express it.

The child is not Lu Yifeng's at all, how can he compare with Lu Yifeng!
Seeing that the smile on the corner of Chu Ci's mouth froze, Zhang Diefang suddenly changed his expression as if thinking of something, and said in embarrassment, "Shi Zifei, I... I didn't mean it!"

"I know!" Seeing her apologizing awkwardly, Chu Ci sighed helplessly, turned his eyes back to Ying'er's face, and said, "The little girl is so young, she is already very pretty, when she grows up , it will definitely look better...it really complements her name."

Zhang Diefang nodded repeatedly.

After that, it took a long time for the awkward atmosphere between the two to ease away.

A few hours passed in a blink of an eye. Chu Ci originally wanted to keep Zhang Diefang for dinner, but Zhang Diefang refused to stay. He only said that he would come again when he had time.

Chu Ci had no choice but to ask Qing Miao to see off the guests for her.

After watching Mrs. Zhang go out, Yunniang looked at Chu Ci with a smile and said, "This Mrs. Zhang has a very cheerful temper!"

Chu Ci nodded, "If it's not cool, how can I stay with her all afternoon!"

When Yunniang heard Chu Ci say this, her heart moved, and suddenly, as if thinking of something, she touched her waist, untied her purse, looked at Chu Ci and said, "Girl, this is a gift from Mrs. Zhang A congratulatory gift, let me see what it is..."

"What is it?" Chu Ci asked casually.

Yun Niang's eyes widened, "Yes...it's actually a bank note, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine... 9 taels!"
