The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 295 The Chubby Little Fu
When the new daughter-in-law returns home, her husband's family will probably save face.Mrs. Song's affection for Xing Xiuyan has been increasing day by day recently, and Mrs. Jiang's and Xiao Gao's natal families are in other provinces, so they can't go back easily. Mrs. Song's in-laws who can really go around often in the future are only the Xing Mansion, so this time when Xiuyan returns home, Mrs. Song He ordered someone to bring a very heavy gift.

Xiuyan and Song Chen personally went to Mrs. Song to thank her. Mrs. Song took Xiuyan and told her: "Although my wife and I don't meet many times, I admire my wife's way of doing things. Good boy, your family Go and say good things for our youngest, so that he can be more respectable in front of his father-in-law."

Xiuyan looked at Song Chen shyly, and Song Chen couldn't help but laugh: "Mother, my mother-in-law treats me closer than my own son, you are overthinking."

Mrs. Song looked at Xiuyan and nodded: "The wife's reputation is very good. Who in the capital doesn't know that the fifth prince grew up in your natal family? When the wife's family was only ordinary, she was able to treat children who were not her own. She takes care of her like her own son, not to mention that the third child in our family is her son-in-law? When you arrive at the in-law’s place, please say hello to me, and we have a banquet on the fourth day of junior high school, hoping that the in-law’s wife will arrive early.”

Xiuyan and Song Chen agreed one by one.It was already [-]:[-] when they left the Shangshu Mansion, Song Chen deliberately detoured the carriages and horses to Fuyuan Pavilion, and brought freshly baked cakes to his mother-in-law and brother-in-law Fu Geer.

Xiuyan rebuked him for being courteous for nothing, but Song Chen smiled and said, "I haven't seen Brother Fu for a long time, I'm afraid my brother-in-law has forgotten me, this cake may be able to restore some enthusiasm. Mother-in-law sees Brother Fu getting close to me like this, probably You can also give me a sip of wine."

Fu Geer is a snack, but unfortunately he only has four small milk teeth now. It’s okay if he doesn’t open his mouth, but he looks like a few snow rabbits raised in Xingjiayuan’s house, smiling and looking at the world with his small teeth.

The four small teeth are of limited use, and the nutritious confinement women hired by Xiuyan prepare fresh vegetables and fruits for Fu Geer every day.The Fu Geer he raises is firmer and rounder than his peers. Pian Fu Geer likes to eat two things, one is stewed tender custard, and the other is the sponge cake from his old shop.

I dare not say that I will never get tired of eating, but if there are no these two kinds of dishes on the table for a few days, Fu Geer will definitely groan with her small mouth. If she is still unwilling to be satisfied, it will probably be flooded.

Although Song Chen had good intentions, the result was completely opposite. Upon arriving at his mother-in-law's natal home, Fu Geer first expressed great enthusiasm for his sister's return.You can get a glimpse of it from the saliva all over Xiuyan's face.

Then, as if she had suffered a great grievance, she was lazy in Xiuyan's arms, refusing to be hugged by anyone, and she didn't even look at the sponge cake that she loved so much on weekdays.

Lu and Song Chen complained: "These few days have been considered good. In the few days when his sister just got married, he had to find someone as soon as he woke up in the morning. He was hugged by the wet nurse, in and out of Xiuyan's yard. Let's go, weep when we don't see you. Your father-in-law and I can't persuade anyone. Later, Zhengde followed him for two days, bought some fresh gadgets outside, and asked someone to make a wooden horse and rocking chair, so he was called the little ancestor. Calm down."

Song Chen smiled awkwardly. When he wanted to hug Brother Fu again, Brother Fu probably knew that this person had cheated his own sister, and with his little head on Xiuyan's shoulder, he just refused to talk to Song Chen.

Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, and finally Lu embraced Brother Fu in his arms: "Okay, it's rare for you to go home once. Zhengde and your father are waiting in the study! That kid doesn't dare to come to see Xiuyan himself. I knew I made a big mistake.”

Xiuyan and Song Chen went to the study in the inner courtyard side by side.

As expected, Zhengde was a little depressed, seeing Xiuyan excitedly got up quickly, barely standing against the wall.

Xiuyan said unhappily: "Hurry up and put away these little faces, will I still eat you? Tell us the whole story in detail, and if you dare to hide it, be careful of your skin."

Seeing that his sister was still willing to listen to his explanation, Zhengde was half relieved. He salivated and ran to Xiuyan's side, and pulled Xiuyan's sleeve: "My sister."

Xiuyan gave him a white look: "Whether you stand or not, hurry up and sit beside your father."

Zhengde looked at Song Chen aggrievedly, and Song Chen spread his hands, expressing his helplessness.Zhengde had no choice but to sit down beside Xing Zhong with his head drooping.

"I didn't want to say this, but my eldest sister didn't see it. The child is really pitiful. When she was born, her face was black and purple, her head was not as big as my palm, and she had difficulty breathing. But that little finger is still there." Zhengde looked at Xiuyan's face, he hesitated and said: "Father immediately ordered Dai Quan to dispose of the child, I thought of myself, so I begged Father."

Xiuyan sighed: "I just guessed that this is the reason. But for no reason, you didn't invite the emperor to entertain the officials, why did you go to Qingqiu Pavilion instead?"

Asked about this matter, Zhengde immediately put away his hesitation, and said: "That day, my father brought me and a few brothers to a banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the maid next to Empress Liu Concubine suddenly came to look for me and said that Liu Concubine The empress asked me something important. At that time, I just thought it was strange, but who would think about the premature birth? Besides, not only have I never had any enmity with Concubine Liu, but I even helped her back when she was quite miserable. No doubt With him, when I was about to go to the Qingqiu Pavilion with that palace maid, Brother Fourth Emperor had to follow."

Xiuyan stared at Zhengde: "You have more thoughtfulness, thinking that even if something happens, if you drag the fourth prince into the water, the empress will not stand by and watch."

Zhengde smiled sheepishly: "My sister guessed everything right. Do you still remember? I once said that Brother Sihuang once told me quietly that he often fell ill. A few days ago, he couldn't even get up, and fainted several times. The empress kept him in the empress hall without telling everyone, and took care of him personally. The fourth prince confided in me. I thought it was just a few words from Concubine Liu. I happened to ask more about the condition of the fourth brother on the way, so I took him with me. To the Qingqiu Pavilion. I don’t know.”

Zhengde seemed to be remembering, but most of the time he frowned: "I don't know that as soon as we arrived at Qingqiu Pavilion, Empress Liu Bin had a seizure."

Xiuyan hurriedly stopped his words and asked: "Wait a minute, did Concubine Liu just say a few words before she lost her temper, or was she about to give birth when you entered the door?"

"I also said a few words." Zhengde said without hesitation, "Actually, Concubine Liu was very surprised to see the Fourth Prince, but she complained of a stomachache without saying a few words."

"Is there anything strange about this? For example, what did you eat? What did you drink?"

Zhengde said: "It's useless, but when I think about it later, I always feel a little strange. The time when Concubine Liu gave birth was extremely dangerous, and it was really hoarse. Even I was very scared when I heard it, but the fourth brother was cold-eyed from the beginning to the end. Look at Concubine Liu. Although Concubine Liu's childbirth is dangerous, it doesn't take much time. My sister doesn't know. When the father went, the child had already been born. I cried, saying that even if the emperor tolerated this child, it would be difficult for God to let him grow up."

Zhengde suddenly fell silent, and said after a long time: "Brother Sihuang told Concubine Liu that I am an auspicious person. If I ask the emperor to put the little prince by my side to support him, maybe God will allow him to die."

Xiuyan understood everything.

After all, this child was still counted.

The fourth prince took advantage of Liu Pin's eagerness to love his son, and also took advantage of Zhengde's kindness.But putting such a child next to the fifth prince, what good will it do to the fourth prince?

Do you hope that the emperor will dislike Zhengde because of this?
Xiuyan was guessing wildly, and Zhengde said aggrievedly: "Yesterday, Master Zheng Deng of the Qintian Supervisor asked to see the emperor, and said that the eighth prince's fate has been determined. It is said that the eighth prince's eyebrows are treacherous. , the corner of the mouth is sour and mean, and the birth of six fingers is an unlucky fate, which can restrain parents, brothers, wives and children. Master Deng also said that the Qingqiu Pavilion is in the position of robbery, and it is the coldest place in the palace. "

Xiuyan sneered: "It's nonsense, the Eighth Prince is still a child, where did he see the corners of his eyebrows and mouth? If the Qingqiu Pavilion is a cold place, then why didn't Master Deng stand up when Concubine Liu was pregnant? Come out and do the math?"

Zhengde smiled wryly: "I don't think so too? But Master Deng also said that now that the eighth prince is moving to the palace, the evil spirit will be transferred with him. Now that he has moved into the east residence, the robbery will go straight to the throne."

Xiuyan's heart tightened: "Where are you aiming at?"

Zhengde looked around the crowd: "The position of Jiesha mentioned by Master Deng is Yuntai. When I got up early, Zhuan'er quietly went to Yuntai to inquire. The Supreme Emperor was infected with a cold last night. Two or three imperial doctors were guarding, and even alarmed father."

Everyone in the Xing family knew that Zhengde had gone smoothly in the palace, all the way to today, half of the reason was that his status was extremely low in the eyes of the court, and another important reason was that the Supreme Emperor loved Zhengde.

The third prince flattered him in every possible way, but he couldn't make the Supreme Emperor take a second look.Zhengde went to lecture to the Supreme Emperor every day, but this kind of filial piety became a thorn in the eyes of others.

"Sister, Xiaoba is really pitiful, I don't want to be a perfidy." Zhengde looked at Xiuyan pitifully, "I still remember that when I was young, it was hot and I refused to sleep, and I didn't want others to hug me. Carrying me around in the garden. Mosquitoes bite my flesh, and you chase them away with a round fan. Although I was abandoned by my biological parents, I never lack the warmth of my family. Xiao Ba, his mother is not far away, But I dare not even give him a hug. The emperor hardly ordered him to be executed, so I feel sad when I think about it."

Xing Zhong also sighed: "Being born in the royal family, I also have such helplessness."

Song Chen followed suit: "Father-in-law is absolutely right, the Tian Family is ruthless, loving and righteous, how many of them can sit in that position?"

Xiuyan disagreed: "Isn't our Zhengde a loving and righteous child? Just based on this, I can't make those bad guys happy!"

Zhengde's eyes brightened: "Sister, I knew you were willing to help me! Xiaoba will definitely remember you when he grows up."

Xiuyan patted her younger brother's tall figure, last year it was only up to her waist, but this year it has reached her shoulders.Such a young man will become the pillar of the Xing family in the future!

Xiuyan was very relieved, "Go back to the palace for now and see how the Supreme Emperor's condition is. If those people deliberately harm you, the Supreme Emperor's illness will not be cured easily. But it is because of this that we can find out the cause!"
