The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister

  Chapter 169 Some children are not expected when they are born

  Linglan felt that her own girl was coming, she was extremely beautiful.

It stands to reason that the Lingnan area is plagued by epidemics and food shortages. I went there once, and it was good that I didn’t lose a layer of meat, but her girl was only in a state of mind during the month that the son was in Dali Temple. , as soon as the prince came out, she was completely different.

  Linglan couldn't tell what was different.

   Let’s talk about the relationship with Shizi, isn’t their relationship good in the past?

  But recently the girl is like the roses blooming in the yard, so charming that people can't move their eyes.

  Of course, what is even more gratifying is that the prince actually earned a royal order for the girl, and her girl is finally going back to the Duke's mansion!

   These days, she can hear people say that the two of them are going to reconcile and leave.

  Early in the morning, Linglan packed up all her things. Just after the hour, Wang Qinsheng brought the chariots and servants of the Duke's Mansion to pick them up.

  Wen Ning didn't expect her return to the Duke's mansion to come so suddenly, but when she thought about it carefully, it was really unreasonable for her to lose her temper and live in her mother's house after Jiahe Emperor ordered her to be ordered.

   Moreover, the Duke's Mansion is closer to the yamen, if she goes back, she can save Pei You a lot of trouble.

  So even though she felt reluctant, she and Linglan cleaned up everything that needed to be cleaned up.

   If you still want to come back to live in the future, ask Pei You to cooperate, and the two of you can quarrel.

  cough…

  Qinghui Hall has already been cleaned up, and Wen Ning feels as if she has been in a lifetime for the first time back.

   It was half a year ago that I bumped into Pei You and Fan Yinyin at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, and ran away angrily. No one could have imagined that so many things would happen in the past six months.

   Qinghui Hall has hardly changed, and the flowers and plants she raised are all living well; the main house has always maintained the appearance she arranged before, but it has not been lived in for a long time, and it is not popular after all.

  Wen Ning took out her usual incense and lit it, made tea herself, and replaced some embroidery items in the room with new ones, and asked Wang Qinsheng to cut some bunches of flowers in, and the room was not so deserted.

   At three o'clock in the application time, the Yamen is on duty.

  Gu Fei received Pei You at the entrance of the engineering department on time, and as soon as he saw him, he impatiently reported in a low voice: "My lord, madam has returned home."

  Seeing that Pei You really relaxed his eyebrows, and raised his lower lip in a rare way, he leaned forward: "My son, can I also..."

"cannot."

  Gu Fei's face instantly became bitter.

  He also wants to go back to the mansion... Madam has returned to the mansion, and Wang Qinsheng has also returned to the mansion, but he still has to stay in that bleak Indus Lane every day and watch the Sanskrit sounds play tricks!

   "The fourth prince's side..." Suffering is bitterness, serious matters still need to be asked.

  In the past two days, the fourth prince has started meeting with his family's eldest son again.

   Today is different from the past, King Rui is no longer there, and only this prince is the only one who goes in and out of the court. If there are no accidents...

  Although the status of his family's eldest son is also extraordinary, in the future, after all, the king will be the king, and the minister will be the minister. If he offends someone to death, how can he have a good life in the future?

   Sure enough, the prince frowned slightly when he heard the words.

  The prince pursed his lips and remained silent, so Gu Fei didn't ask any further questions. He didn't hear an order until he closed the curtain: "Go back to the mansion tomorrow and pick a few luminous pearls to send over to thank the fourth prince for his words."

  Pei You went to Wutong Lane as usual, ate dinner in Wutong Lane as usual, read a book in the study for a while, and when night fell, she changed her clothes and went out quietly through the side door that no one knew about.

  The Qinghui Hall was lit, and Wang Qinsheng was still holding the lantern to guide him.

  Pushing open the door, the familiar Daughter Xiang rushed towards her face with the warmth of the room. Turning her head to look inside, she saw her petite figure lying quietly on the tea table.

  A heart finally fell on the ground.

  Wen Ning estimated that Pei You should be able to come back earlier tonight.

  Guogong Mansion is not only closer to the Imperial Palace, but also closer to Wutong Lane. He should be able to come back a stick of incense earlier than when he was in Wen Mansion.

   Sure enough, after taking a bath, she was lying on the tea table, flicking the lamp wick boredly, when she heard the sound of the door being pushed.

   Turning around, Pei You looked at her with clear eyes.

   "You're back!" Wen Ning excitedly jumped off the low couch and went to meet her.

  Pei You glanced at her feet: "Where are the shoes?"

oh.

  Wen Ning ran back again, put on his shoes, and then went over again, reaching out to untie his cloak.

"Are you busy with business today? Is everything going well?" Wen Ning took off her cloak and hung it up, then turned around and poured him a cup of tea, "When I came back today, I saw that the osmanthus flowers in the yard were in full bloom. I was thinking about making you an osmanthus sachet last year Then, I picked some and brought them back, they haven’t dried yet, but they should be mixed with tea, the taste should be good.”

   "Taste it." Passed the tea to Pei You.

   Pei You looked at the little girl with bright eyes and kind eyes, squinted slightly, but did not move.

   "What?" Wen Ning tilted her head, "Do you think I'm particularly virtuous and well-behaved, and that has moved you?"

  Pei You finally had a smile in his eyes: "It's true, there should be a reward."

   As he spoke, Liao Pao sat down at the tea table, took out a piece of tissue paper from his sleeve, spread it out, and pushed it in front of Wen Ning's eyes.

  Wen Ning put down the cup of tea in her hand, stared at the paper, her eyes widened in surprise.

   is a bank note.

  Ten...one hundred thousand taels? !

  Wen Ning suspected that she was dazzled, and picked up the bank note: "You...you gave it to me?"

impossible.

  Who will issue a bank note of one hundred thousand taels? One hundred thousand taels of silver at a time, isn't that crazy? !

  And the seal under this bank note...

  Pei You directly pulled her to her knees and sat down, wrapping her arms around her waist: "Your Majesty will reward you."

  Wen Ning looked at the seal again, it was really... an imperial seal!

"Your Majesty said that the small drug dealer was so righteous and was imprisoned in Wuxi for more than half a month. Although he didn't want to reveal his name, he couldn't treat her badly." Pei You took the bank note and shook it off more neatly, " This bank note will be rewarded to her, and at any time in the future, she can pay one hundred thousand taels of silver to the imperial court."

  Wen Ning took a deep breath: "Really?"

   "Da Yin's imperial seal is here, how can it be fake?"

  Wen Ning took another deep breath: "Then you just stuffed it into your sleeve and brought it back?!"

"how?"

   "You've creased it!" Wen Ning jumped off his lap, "Such a treasure should be framed and passed on as a family heirloom, you prodigal son!"

  Pei You: "..."

  Wen Ning was very happy, 8,000 taels was exchanged for 100,000 taels, and it was still the 100,000 taels bestowed by the emperor. She is the only merchant in the world who has this share!

  Clumsily ran to the desk, took one of the thickest books, carefully put the silver ticket in it and pressed it.

   "Did anything interesting happen today?"

  Pei You had already picked up the cup of tea she had poured, raised her eyebrows at the words, and sipped her tea with her body tilted: "It's okay if I finally hope that my wife will come home."

  Wen Ning's face was slightly hot, she went over to **** his teacup, and pushed him into the bathroom: "Go take a shower!"

   After all, I came back a bit early, it was only three o'clock after Pei You finished washing.

  The two of them have formed a tacit understanding these days. Pei You has the habit of reading before going to bed, and every time he lays down there after washing, he pats the empty seat in front of him. Wen Ning leaned in his arms like a friend, or read a book with him, or the two of them talked.

  Wen Ning likes this kind of day and enjoys this kind of time.

  She never thought that she and Pei You could get along so peacefully.

   "Can I still go out like before?" When they returned to the Duke's Mansion, the two of them were the same as when they were in the Wen Mansion. Wen Ning nestled in front of Pei You, raised her face and asked, "Can I go to the pharmacy?"

  Pei You stared at the book in his hand: "Why not?"

   "What about the wine shop?"

"Same."

   "There should be nothing wrong in Beijing recently?"

   "It will probably be peaceful for a while."

   "Then I will go out to watch a theater tomorrow!"

  Wen Ning slid out of the person's arms and wrapped herself in the quilt.

  Moving in and out today, packing up and picking sweet-scented osmanthus, after all, I am more tired than usual.

   "I'm a little sleepy, I'm going to sleep first." She said lazily, then turned over and prepared to sleep.

   There was an empty space in front of Pei You, the book was still in his hand, but he was looking sideways at the girl curled up in the curtain of the bed.

   After a while, he put down the book and leaned over.

   "Wen Ning, talk again?"

   After working for a while, Wen Ning was a little confused: "What did you say?"

  Pei You touched her earlobe: "Tell me, what did you say to me on the streets of Wuxi that night?"

  Wen Ning thought for a while, then hid her head under the quilt to avoid his hand: "No. I said it was only once..."

   "Just one sentence, the last sentence."

"don't want."

  Pei You didn't continue, she pulled down the quilt, touched the hair on the top of her head, turned around and extinguished the candle, and fell asleep with her in her arms.

-

  The days are long again.

  With King Rui gone, at least for Wen Ning, Beijing is much more stable. There is no need to worry about whether he is thinking of a way to deal with Pei You and the Wen family anymore.

   But she didn't go out much.

  Winter is coming soon, and she wants to make a warm winter coat for Pei You. However, her embroidery skills are not bad, but she is really not very experienced in making clothes. So I fumbled in the room by myself, day by day, very quickly.

  But she still found time to go to the pharmacy, not for business, but for the monthly letter that came with great difficulty a few days ago, and it lingered on.

  In the beginning, Wen Ning was fortunate that he could just do nothing with Pei You with peace of mind.

   But the days dragged on for a long time, and...

  Pei You is actually very honest.

   I don't know if it was because she was too stiff that time, he is so sensitive, and made him aware of her emotions again.

  Wen Ning asked He Luan to take the pulse, and He Luan said there was no problem, it was just that she was too tired and had too much emotional ups and downs a few days ago.

  But taking the pulse like this reminded Wen Ning of another thing.

  There was no one else in the pharmacy, so Wen Ning blushed and asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, look at my body...is there any problem?"

  He Luan was already writing a prescription, and said without raising his head: "Nothing. I just told you, take a rest and take a few prescriptions."

   "No, it's..." Wen Ning said in a softer voice, "It's something that hinders the heir."

  He Luan's complexion was gloomy and cold when he saw the doctor, he raised his head and looked Wen Ning's face over again, and took her pulse again.

   "No." She answered in the affirmative.

  Wen Ning tilted her head in doubt.

  Strange, she obviously never had a child with Pei You for so long in her previous life, except for the first time she asked Linglan to make her a baby soup, after which Pei You didn't allow her to use it.

  But she can trust He Luan's medical skills.

  Before going to bed this night, Wen Ning still chatted with Pei You about this issue.

   "Pei You, will you take a concubine in the future?" She asked while nestling in his arms.

   It must be said first, she seems to be getting smaller and smaller, sometimes thinking of Wutong Lane will make her uncomfortable, and she probably cannot accept Pei Yun as a concubine.

  Pei You answered firmly: "No."

   "Then what if..." Wen Ning sat up and asked solemnly, "I mean just in case. What if we never have children?"

  An ancient book that Pei You read today was particularly serious and calm. Hearing this, he raised his eyelids and glanced at her face: "I haven't even tried walking, but I'm worried about running in the future?"

  Wen Ning: "..."

   "I... just assume..."

   "No." Pei You looked back at the scroll and pulled her into his arms again.

   "But..." Wen Ning gently picked at his skirt, how could the Duke's Mansion tolerate a mistress who couldn't give birth to children?

   "Why do you have to have a child." Pei You's voice was cold and clear, and he laughed suddenly, "Some children are not expected after they are born, so it is better not to have them."

  That's right...

  Wen Ning raised her head, the smirk on his lips hadn't dissipated, and the brows and eyes were full of coolness.

  Feeling her gaze, Pei You lowered her eyes, and the coldness faded away, and her eyes became warm: "You talk so much today, can't you understand this book?"

  Wen Ning's face became hot: "Who...who said I can't understand, I can understand!"

  Pei You slightly raised his eyebrows: "Do you know all the ancient characters?"

  Wen Ning swallowed her saliva, but actually... she didn't know her very well.

   Mr. Wen, who is ignorant and inexperienced, also wants face!

"know!"

  As if in disbelief, Pei You pointed to one of them and asked, "What word is this?"

  Ha, she really knows this!

  Wen Ning: "Me."

  Pei You changed the word.

  Wen Ning: "Incline."

  Pei You turned a page and changed a word.

  Wen Ning frowned, struggling to guess: "Mu?"

  Pei You pointed to another one.

   This is easy!

  Wen Ning: "Yu."

  Pei You pointed to another one.

  Wen Ning: "You!"

  Pei You touched her head: "Good boy."

  Wen Ning, who came to his senses: "!!"

   Really deserves to be Pei You! Not only what you want to do, but also what you want to hear can always be heard!

  Wen Ning raised her hand and gave him a punch.

  Wen Ning didn't think too much about this episode. She had been imprisoned in the "previous life" for too long before, and she didn't want to let the ending of the "previous life" she saw unilaterally affect her decision in this life.

  In case you really can't have children...let's talk about it later.

  The life I picked up, how happy I am.

  He Luan took ten doses of the medicine Wen Ning prescribed, and Yue Xin finally stopped.

  In these short ten days, the days passed from autumn to winter, and the capital city turned from golden to gray.

  Wen Ning finally made Pei You's winter clothes into a barely noticeable one, but she still didn't feel ashamed to take it out and planned to make a new one. The Duke's mansion was still deserted, the eldest princess was not out in the Buddhist hall, Duke Pei was in the study, Wen Ning was the same as before, occasionally asking Linglan to bring some snacks and soup over.

  The remaining party of King Rui was almost liquidated, only Shen Gaolan was still firmly in the position of minister of the Ministry of Rites. With the removal of King Rui's party, the fourth prince gradually began to take action.

  But overall, the capital is still calm.

  In October of the 16th year of Jiahe, the epidemic in Wen Ning's memory was rampant, and the people were in dire straits. Dayin was no longer the prosperous node in the past, and had completely changed its appearance.

  The weather of this year is particularly cool early. In mid-October, the capital ushered in profuse first snow.

   On the morning when the wind and snow took a break, news came from the palace that Emperor Jiahe had abolished his empress.
