Chapter 55 It's Snowing

At noon today, after lunch, Shen Yan said that she would go to the pond in the West Garden to feed the goldfish. These days, the little Princess is sick, and the goldfish are fed by the eldest girl. On weekdays, the two girls take turns to feed each of them for a day.

Fei Cui and several other maids carried fish food to the West Garden. The eldest girl squatted on the rocks, and the maids surrounded her and handed her the fish food. She never thought about feeding half of it. Suddenly it loosened, and the eldest girl staggered and plunged into the pond.

Fei Cui and the others were terrified, several people plunged into the pond to save people, and some people called for guards, and then there was a mess until the eldest girl was carried into the Jing'an Hall, and the imperial doctor was invited to diagnose the pulse.

After hearing this, Ji fell silent, waved her hand to let Fei Cui back down, her teeth were gnashing, she really wanted to kill all the maids and women around Yan'er.Recalling that a few days ago, she told the Duke of the State that the son was vicious, until now, she also had the same idea, but she couldn't do it, because she was the gentle and virtuous Mrs. Liu in the eyes of the Duke of the State.

Mrs. Ji sat on the grand teacher's chair carved with patterns of nanmu, with a withered expression.

Outside, I remembered the voice of the wet nurse Xu Mama, "Ma'am, are you in there?"

Ji said hoarsely, "Mother Xu, come in."

Xu's mother had been Ji's wet nurse in Guangping Hou's Mansion since she was a teenager, and the two were as affectionate as a mother and daughter, and Ji discussed many things with her.Mother Xu came in with ginseng tea, "Madam, you should drink some ginseng tea, you have to take care of yourself, the eldest girl still needs your support."

Ji took the ginseng tea and held it in the palm of his hand, "Mother Xu, do you think I did something wrong? Shouldn't I do such things to force the prince away? Otherwise, it will be retribution on Yan'er ?”

"Ma'am, don't say that." Xu's mother walked to the door and looked around, then closed the door and came to Ji's side, "Ma'am, this old slave went to the West Garden to see, and there are several people beside the pool. All the big rocks are loose, and the craftsmen repaired them a few days ago, it really shouldn't be..."

Mrs. Mu raised her head to look at her with a solemn expression, "You mean, someone did it on purpose?" She paused for a while, her face showing surprise and a little panic, "Mother Xu, do you think the crown prince did this? He , Did he know something, that I moved the little princess..."

Mother Xu patted her hand, "Ma'am, you must not mess yourself up. Even if the son is thoughtful, he is only a half-grown child. How could he guess that it was you who moved the little princess? Madam, don't scare yourself." This, I'm afraid it's a coincidence, but the girl's body is the most important right now."

But Ji suddenly burst into tears, "Even if the retribution is on Yan'er's head, Jiahe is fine. If it wasn't for her...if she hadn't taken away my wife, why would I plan for Yan'er?" All of this, why do I have to swallow my anger and raise the children for her." She gritted her teeth, "She deserves to die! Her two children deserve to die too, why, why! I should be the serious master of the Duke's Mansion, she What kind of!"

"Madam, my wife, please keep your voice down." Xu's mother was scared out of her wits, "But don't let people listen to it, you listen to what the old slave said, first take care of the eldest girl's body, and take good care of the country these days." Father-in-law, it is a serious matter to quickly conceive a boy, don't think about anything else."

How could the Ji family be reconciled, they had been engaged for fifteen years, and had waited for him for three or four years. They thought they would be able to get married when he came back, but there was something wrong with Jiahe, because she was a princess, and she was a member of the Marquis of Guangping. The prostitute has to give way to the princess and her husband, how can she be reconciled, she hates it, she would rather enter the Duke's mansion to be a concubine, and also want to be against Jiahe.

Who would have thought that when married into the Duke's mansion, Jiahe didn't care about everything, she hid in the Buddhist hall and chanted scriptures all day long, and she couldn't talk to her more than three words, until Jiahe called her sick and went to the village in the countryside, she couldn't get Jiahe how.It wasn't until this time that she really realized that Jiahe didn't want to marry into the Duke's mansion at all. It turned out that it was just a bad relationship, but so what, she still hated it.

The little princess was only a few months old, and she was brought to her side to raise her. She made the little princess domineering, and the girls from the Beijing and Zhongzhong families didn't like the little princess.Gradually growing up, the little princess became close to the eldest son, but was moody towards her.

She doesn't like Jiahe, and she doesn't like her two children. She knows the son's temperament, and she designed the princess to fall into the water. The son was furious and killed a servant in the yard. No matter how good it is, the place has been fighting all the year round, maybe he won't come back once he goes, and the rest of the princess can do whatever she wants.

But why did the retribution go to Yan'er?Or, is it the son who sees through everything to take revenge?Ji didn't know, and was flustered and confused.

It wasn't until the evening of the second day that Shen Yan woke up, she was so angry, but the imperial doctor breathed a sigh of relief, and at least pulled her back from the gate of hell.

The Duke of the State came to see Shen Yan in the morning, and when he saw the dying eldest daughter, he lost his temper, sold a lot of craftsmen, and asked people to build a redwood fence with dark patterns on the edge of the pool overnight, saving money accident.

Grandpa Guo was too busy, so he stayed in Jing'an Hall for a while and then left.

When Shen Yan woke up in the evening, everyone in the mansion had learned that Shen Xian led Shen Mei to visit and brought wild ginseng to replenish her body. Shen Xian said, "I don't have any good things in my hand, only this decades-old ginseng , I specially sent it to my eldest sister to make up her body, I hope my aunt will not dislike it."

Mrs. Ji gritted her teeth, "It's your whole heart as a brother, how can you dislike it." After saying that, he turned to look at Shen Mei, wanting to hold the little girl's hand, "Is the little princess better? These slaves are also fooling people, and if the two masters fell into the water for half a month, they should be betrayed."

Shen Mei didn't like Ji Shi's closeness, she took a step back slightly, "Don't worry, Auntie, I'm fine, how is Big Sister?"

Mrs. Ji looked back at her daughter on the couch with the wishful pattern on the purple jade coral screen, "Your elder sister woke up just now, and the imperial doctor said that she was too weak, so she could only drink some porridge water, and she fell asleep just now..." As she spoke, she couldn't help falling. shed tears.

Shen Mei didn't have any objections to this big sister, she would always bring herself with her when she went out, as she had fulfilled her responsibility as a big sister, and she hoped that she would get well soon.

After thinking about it, Shen Mei comforted Ji, "Don't worry, Auntie, I've fallen into it before, and I'm fine now."

Ji choked on these words and was speechless.

Shen Xian held Shen Mei's hand, "My sister is fine, so I will take Ah Mei back first."

Ji nodded, and called Fei Cui to send her out.When the two of them reached the green stone screen with carved dragons carved in huanghuali, Shen Xian suddenly paused. Standing tall and straight beside the screen, he looked at Mrs. Ji who was sitting on the bedside with Shen Yan, and suddenly said, "My aunt has to take care of herself, otherwise, even if the eldest girl wakes up, there will be no one to support her."

Ji suddenly turned her head and met Shen Xian's icy cold eyes, her heart trembled, did he know something?Seeing that Shen Xian turned his eyes to A Yan who was on the bed, she showed a sneer that seemed to be there, and without saying anything, she led Shen Mei out of here.

Fei Cui trembled, the words Shizi said were so indifferent, she was frightened.After sending them out of the room, I saw that Mrs. Ji smashed a set of blue and white yellow pottery tea sets. The ground was in a mess. Mrs. Ji lay on the bed crying sadly.

In a blink of an eye, the day when the Duke and Shen Xian left, except for the two who only brought dozens of personal guards, Shen Xian's few cronies all stayed in the Duke's mansion, he was worried about the Princess.

Yuzhu'er asked Licorice to clean and dress her up early in the morning. She wore a jade-colored embroidered jacket with folded branches and flowers, combed a double bun, wrapped a gold silk eight-treasure pearl chain, and wore a coral-colored brocade velvet cloak. , with a gold-threaded and jasper wreath hanging around her neck, she hurried to send someone outside the capital, urging, "Licorice, hurry up, Brother Shen will leave in a while."

Licorice said, "Girl, don't worry, the kitchen has made yogurt custard for you, you can eat it before going over."

Yuzhu hurriedly ate the egg custard, and urged the licorice to find the coachman to tie the carriage. Xie Che stood under the porch with the little girl in his arms, "The weather is a bit cloudy, I'm afraid it's going to snow, I'll go with you."

Yuzhu didn't refuse, and waited for the coachman to hitch up the carriage and the three of them left the city together.

It was just in time to rush over. There was a row of tall horses. The first two were the Dukes in armor. They were very imposing. The handsome young man in a cloak next to him looked a little thin, but he was still a child, and he was about to go to the battlefield with him. Fighting, Yuzhu's heart was clenched tightly, and she was almost out of breath.

Shen Mei also came to see her off today, Yuzhu asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the side of the little princess's carriage and let Xie Che carry her down.

As soon as Shen Mei saw Yuzhu, she started to cry, held Yuzhu's hand, crying sadly, "Yuzhu, what should I do, I don't want elder brother to leave."

The crying Yuzhu also wanted to wipe away her tears, so she wiped away the tears for the little princess, "Don't cry, you won't be at ease when your elder brother leaves, but don't worry, elder brother Shen will return safely."

Shen Xian jumped off the horse, and walked quickly to the two little girls. He squatted down halfway, not caring that his cloak was stained with fallen leaves and dust on the ground, and hugged the two little girls tightly in his arms.

Shen Wei sat on the steed and watched from a distance. After a while, he saw Shen Xian get up and quickly get on the horse, and said in a low voice, "Father, let's go."

"Let's go." Shen Xian gave an order, and all the horses turned around and rushed towards the official road. From a distance, the soldiers fighting on the battlefield could only hear the little girl's miserable cries.

The maids and servants surrounded the little princess and blocked him tightly, for fear that the little master would rush to the official road.

Looking from a distance, the horses disappeared on the official road, leaving only dust in the sky. Under the gloomy sky, people were extremely depressing. Yuzhu felt the coldness on her face, and stretched out her soft hands to catch the snowflakes. "Snowing……"
