Chapter 513 The soft and bullying sister-in-law VS the sinister brother-in-law who was borrowed 63
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward.
Chen Mufeng, Li Mingxuan, Zhang Shuhan, and Yu Yao were sitting around the table, drinking heavily, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was pleasant.
Yu Yao was about to give birth, so naturally she would not drink. She would only lower her head to eat vegetables, or listen to the three men talking with her ears raised, and occasionally chime in with a sentence or two.
She had just picked up a piece of sea cucumber and put it into her mouth. When she raised her eyes, she saw a man walking in. He was dressed in black and had a stern face. He looked like a secret guard.
She was slightly startled, and felt that this man's face was somewhat familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.
After thinking about it for a long time, I finally remembered that this person seemed to be the entourage of the third prince. Although I only met him once, I remembered it now.
I wonder what this person is doing here.
She put down her chopsticks, tugged at Chen Mufeng, whose face was hot from drinking, and reminded in a low voice: "Stop drinking, someone is coming."
Chen Mufeng was chatting with Li Mingxuan and Zhang Shuhan, and he was a little drunker, with a cheerful smile on his face.
After being pulled by her, he looked over and saw Changfeng walking in.
He frowned slightly, feeling that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment.
But out of politeness, he stood up first and greeted him.
Li Mingxuan and Zhang Shuhan also stopped and looked at Changfeng who walked in, wondering who this person was.
Chen Mufeng was about to ask.
Changfeng walked over with a smile and said, "Mr. Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you? I came here so rashly today. I really disturb your enjoyment. I hope you will understand me."
When Chen Mufeng heard this voice, he looked at Changfeng's face carefully and remembered his identity.
I was slightly startled, and hurriedly cupped my hands and replied: "It turned out to be Lord Changfeng. I was blind and didn't recognize it just now. I'm rude and rude. I wonder why you came here today?"
Changfeng smiled and waved his hand, "Young Master Chen, please don't be polite. I'm here today to congratulate you all. Congratulations to Mr. Chen for winning the first place in the examination. Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang also achieved such good results. It's really a blessing." Congratulations. Secondly, I have a few words to say to Mr. Chen alone on the orders of His Highness."
Why do you want to talk alone? It's to avoid Li Mingxuan and Zhang Shuhan.
When Chen Mufeng heard the last sentence, his brows furrowed almost unnoticeably.
His expression returned to normal and he made a gesture of invitation, "In that case, please come in and speak."
After finishing speaking, he led Changfeng into the house to talk and closed the door.
Li Mingxuan and Zhang Shuhan looked at each other. Although they were confused, they couldn't ask at this moment.
I just wanted to wait until that person left and then ask Brother Chen what happened.
The two continued drinking and chatting.
Yu Yao frowned slightly, although she didn't know why the third prince sent someone here and what he had to say.
But she guessed it had something to do with wining over.
Although she is in the market, she has also heard that the fight between several princes today is extremely fierce, almost as much as the fight for the rightful son in Kowloon during the Qing Dynasty.
And now, although the Prince of the East Palace seems to be extremely noble, his status is shaky, and all his brothers want to take him down.
I heard that the prince was reprimanded by the emperor in the court some time ago.
Among them, I am afraid that it is the work of the third prince.
Chen Mufeng passed the Huiyuan examination. Although he has not yet participated in the palace examination, he has proved that he is talented and a talented person.
They are talented people, so naturally they have to win over them.
She ate her food and meditated alone.
She and Chen Mufeng had just arrived in the capital, and it could be said that they had no foundation.
If he can serve under the third prince and be secretly supported by the third prince, his official career will naturally skyrocket, and he can also gain the merit of following the dragon.
Of course, the premise is that the third prince can successfully seize the throne.
If it fails, the end will be eternal disaster.
"Everyone, tell me all the information about the third prince."
She said to the system in her heart.
The system did not hide anything, "The third prince, Xiao Jingyan, is twenty-two years old. He is far-sighted and thoughtful. He has secretly cultivated many forces in the court. In recent years, as the battle for the right to inherit the throne has become increasingly fierce, the third prince has become more and more fierce." It’s an active plan with frequent tactics.”
"Because his biological mother was a concubine and was not favored by Emperor Yong'an, it can be said that it was of no help to Xiao Jingyan. Without the power of his mother's family, he went around to recruit talents from all walks of life, whether they were scholars from poor families or children from aristocratic families, as long as they were available He will try to recruit them everywhere.”
Yu Yao raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this.
Low birth status has never been a problem. Many princes with noble birth failed to sit on the throne in the end.
If you want to ascend to the throne, in addition to depending on Emperor Yong'an's wishes, you must also have sufficient means and power.
Of course, the most important thing is whether this person has the destiny of an emperor.
If you don't have the destiny of an emperor, no matter how hard you try, it will be useless.
"Tong, please help me test whether the third prince has dragon energy in his body and whether he has the destiny of an emperor."
She looked solemn and asked in her heart.
This is very important.
The system was speechless, "Host, this is a foul on your part. Although I can detect it, it's hard to tell you this kind of thing."
She was unhappy when she heard this and retorted: "Why can't you tell me? My task is to conquer Chen Mufeng, give him a child, and cure Chen Xiuyuan's paralysis. Chen Xiuyuan has been cured, and I am pregnant with Chen Mufeng's child. When the child lands, the task of this plane is completed. Testing whether Xiao Jingyan has the destiny of an emperor is not directly related to my task, so why can’t I tell you?”
The system was silent for a while and then said: "Host, this matter of detecting the emperor's destiny involves heavenly secrets. If I tell you directly, it may disturb the cause and effect in the world and cause many unknown variables. Furthermore, the fate of the third prince Xiao Jingyan will lead to this. It should develop naturally. If you know it in advance, it will be cheating and it will change the direction of the situation. ”
Yu Yao frowned, feeling increasingly dissatisfied, "Huh, you're going to use these big principles to talk to me. I just want to know in my heart, if this Xiao Jingyan doesn't have the destiny to be an emperor at all, and he fails to seize the throne in the end, Chen Mufeng follows. Isn’t he pushing himself into a pit of fire? He will also end up miserable.”
"Everyone, can you bear to see me end miserably and end up in jail with the whole family?"
The system chuckled, "That's good, the host can leave this plane as soon as possible, saving you decades of waiting until you die."
Each plane host has to wait until the male protagonist of the mission dies before leaving. Even if the male protagonist from the immortal and demonic plane cannot die, he still has to wait for a hundred thousand years before leaving, which really affects the progress of the mission.
Yu Yao never thought that it would say such a thing, and she cursed in her heart: a heartless garbage system.
I don’t know whether he was angry or because the two little guys in his belly were eager to be born.
Suddenly a burst of abdominal pain came over me.
Immediately afterwards, something flowed out.
She instantly realized that she was about to give birth. Children would be born in every plane. This feeling was so familiar to her and she felt very calm.
Just about to call someone.
Li Mingxuan and Zhang Shuhan looked at her nervously, obviously noticing that something was wrong with her expression.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? But what's wrong with you?"
Li Mingxuan put down his wine glass and asked with a frown.
Yu Yao twitched her lips and said calmly: "It's nothing, I'm just giving birth. Please help me call Aunt Liu and Po Wen over."
"What? Are you going to give birth?"
Li Mingxuan jumped up from his chair in an instant, looking so confused that he forgot to react.
Although Zhang Shuhan was also frightened, his reaction was faster than Li Mingxuan.
He quickly got up and rushed to the yard, shouting at the top of his voice, "Aunt Liu, Po Wen, come quickly, my sister-in-law is about to give birth!"
This voice shocked Chen Mufeng, who was talking in the room, to tremble all over, and even the books and house deeds in his hands fell to the ground.
At this moment, he didn't even bother to check. He opened the door and walked out, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Changfeng glanced at the door and twitched the corner of his mouth.
It was such a coincidence that I had a baby at this time.
He glanced down at the books and deeds that had fallen to the ground, then silently bent down to pick them up and put them aside.
Then he turned around and went out, closing the door.
Inside the hall.
Li Mingxuan had already reacted and quickly came to Yu Yao's side, "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, I will help you into the house..."
He stretched out his hand to help her, but thought about the lack of intimacy between men and women, and was instantly embarrassed.
Just at this time, Mrs. Liu and two Mrs. Wen had arrived.
Li Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mrs. Liu, hurry up and prepare scissors, hot water, children's clothes, and blankets. Remember to scald the scissors with hot water first."
A stable woman calmly and quickly ordered.
"Hey, okay, I'll go right now."
Mrs. Liu responded hurriedly and went to prepare things.
Another Wen woman carefully helped Yu Yao into the room and carefully checked her fetal position.
Chen Mufeng happened to rush over and wanted to follow the house to have a look, but Po Wen mercilessly kicked him out.
When a woman gives birth to a child, what does a man do after her? No need to come in and cause trouble.
Then, the door was closed with a "bang".
Chen Mufeng stood at the door with a frown, looking embarrassed, but he didn't want to forcefully break in.
Li Mingxuan and Zhang Shuhan couldn't stop laughing when they saw this scene.
The two Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Liu were so busy that they were dizzy.
Instead, a few men stood in the yard and had nothing to do.
Mrs. Liu raised her eyes and said to Chen Mufeng: "Master, you are just standing here in a hurry. Why don't you go to the kitchen and boil a pot of hot water. I will use it later. I will prepare things first."
Although it is not good to ask the scholar, the young master, to do menial work, everyone is very busy at this time and cannot take care of that much.
Chen Mufeng nodded repeatedly, naturally he wouldn't care, and it made him feel at ease that he would have something to do.
"Okay, Aunt Liu, I'm going to the kitchen to boil water right now. You should hurry up and don't wait inside."
After leaving these words, people rushed to the kitchen to boil hot water.
When Li Mingxuan heard this, he couldn't stand still, so he asked Mrs. Liu: "Aunt Liu, if you need any help from us, just ask, we are in a hurry here."
Zhang Shuhan looked at Mrs. Liu and nodded repeatedly, which obviously meant the same thing.
When Mrs. Liu heard what the two said, she was not polite at all, "Okay, the two young masters will go to the sheep shed in the backyard to squeeze some goat milk, then put it in a pot to warm, and then you can drink it when the two little masters are born. .”
A mother who has just given birth is not out of milk. She has to wait three days for the goat's milk to be squeezed out for her baby to drink.
Never let your children go hungry.
When Li Mingxuan heard this, he looked as if he had been struck by lightning and his expression was dull.
Milking sheep?
Zhang Shuhan's mouth twitched and he burst into laughter instantly.
Although he has never done this kind of thing before, he can only bite the bullet this time.
"Okay, Aunt Liu, let's go to the backyard to milk the goat."
He suppressed a smile and responded, tugging at Li Mingxuan who was still in a daze, "Let's go, Brother Li, don't be stunned, hurry up and milk the goat."
Li Mingxuan finally came to his senses and followed Zhang Shuhan to the sheep shed in the backyard with a strange expression.
I couldn't help but murmur in my heart: If I had known earlier, I would have asked Li Lei to go to Zhaixinglou to pay the bill later. Otherwise, he could have done the job of milking the goat.
Changfeng stood in the yard, neither knowing whether to leave or staying, looking awkward.
Thinking that the things His Highness had given him had been delivered, he felt that there was no need to stay any longer, so he left quickly.
The backyard was dark, but fortunately the moonlight was bright, and the light from the kitchen was shining through, so I could see clearly, but it was not very bright.
There were two docile ewes shut up in the sheep shed. When they saw Li Mingxuan and Zhang Shuhan approaching, they uttered a few sounds: "咩"
It was extremely loud in the quiet night, which startled the two of them.
"The sheep brayed so suddenly that it startled me."
Li Mingxuan complained in a low voice.
Zhang Shuhan's mouth twitched, he was at a loss for a while. Although his family was poor, he had never done this kind of work, and he didn't know how to start.
Li Mingxuan didn't even know how to start. He comes from a wealthy family. It can be said that he grew up with a golden key in his mouth. There are people around him to handle all matters, and he has never done this kind of work.
"How to squeeze this?"
Li Mingxuan looked at the two ewes and asked awkwardly.
Zhang Shuhan swallowed and said, "Go to the kitchen first and get a larger bowl. You always need something to put the goat milk in when you squeeze it out."
After hearing this, Li Mingxuan felt like he was being pardoned and hurried to the kitchen, thinking that it would be good to temporarily avoid the work of milking goats.
After a while, he came back with a big bowl, running and shouting: "Brother Zhang, the bowl is here, what should I do next?"
Zhang Shuhan took the bowl, put it aside, walked over and stretched out his hand tentatively: "It should be like this."
He wasn't sure, so he could only explore based on his feeling.
As a result, as soon as my hand touched the sheep, the sheep jumped away with a "baa" sound, as if it was frightened.
"Hahaha, look at you, you scared the sheep away."
Li Mingxuan couldn't help laughing, but then he realized something was wrong because he also didn't know what to do.
The two of them toiled in the sheep shed for a long time, but they didn't squeeze out a bowl of goat milk. They could only hear the two sheep bleating "baa baa baa".
Chen Mufeng, who was boiling water in the kitchen, couldn't stand listening anymore. When the hot water was boiled, he went over to help.
He gently stroked the two ewes to get them to relax their guard.
Seeing this, Zhang Shuhan cautiously moved forward to squeeze, while Li Mingxuan took the bowl.
The three of them worked together and finally squeezed out a bowl full of goat milk, finally completing the task.
In the delivery room, all production supplies are fully prepared and neatly placed.
Yu Yao walked back and forth in the room holding her belly. She felt about the same, so she was helped by Mrs. Liu to lie down on the bed.
While a few people were not paying attention, he secretly took a painless delivery pill.
The elixir melts in your mouth.
The heart-wrenching pain eased instantly, but in order not to arouse suspicion, she still shouted a few times in cooperation.
She then focused on her belly and started giving birth at full strength.
"Madam, come on, use your strength, the child can already see his head."
Yiwen Po shouted loudly from the side.
Mrs. Liu was also there to help, wiping Yu Yao's sweat and shouting words like God bless her.
Yu Yao's fetal position was correct, she took painless delivery pills, and with her past experience and two experienced women, the birth process was extremely smooth.
With a loud cry, the first child came out first, a chubby boy.
Before a few people could go over and clean up, the second child came out right after, a girl.
The two Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Liu were very happy and hurriedly went to pick up the child and clean up.
The clothes are put on, the quilt is wrapped, and the two freshly baked buns are poured out.
"Oh, madam, look, these two children are really good-looking. Not to mention how strong their little arms and legs are, they look healthy at first glance."
Mrs. Liu looked at the infant child with a smile on her face.
The child is not small. He is heavier than an ordinary child at birth. He is not like twins at all. He is chubby, red and very cute.
When the two stable ladies saw that they were twins and were so good-looking, their faces lit up with joy, and they kept saying things like how lucky they were.
Yu Yao was very happy when she heard this. She looked at the two children that Mrs. Liu held over her, and her heart melted. She couldn't get enough of them, with a gentle look on her face.
Chen Mufeng was waiting anxiously at the door, thinking about the warm goat's milk in the kitchen pot, so he went to bring it over.
As soon as I arrived in the yard, I heard a sound coming from the house.
He stood at the door and listened for a while, and then he realized that Yao'er had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
He was slightly startled, and instantly showed a look of ecstasy.
He opened the door and hurried in.
Li Mingxuan and Zhang Shuhan followed behind, so they heard it.
The two looked at each other, looking at each other with envy in each other's eyes.
Li Mingxuan clicked his tongue twice and said enviously: "Brother Chen is really awesome. Now he has a son and a daughter. It's really enviable."
"Yes, it's rare to see twins with twins. It's really enviable."
Zhang Shuhan also smiled and agreed.
The two of them didn't go in, they just stood talking in the yard.
It was inconvenient for the two foreign men to enter a place like the delivery room.
Here, Chen Mufeng entered the room and closed the door.
Putting the goat's milk in his hand on the table, he hurried to the bed.
He felt extremely distressed when he saw Yao'er's face was pale, she looked tired, and her temples were wet with sweat.
The two children were wrapped in swaddling clothes, one in a basket and one in a basket. They were placed next to her, sleeping next to their mother. They were small and red, like two little buns just taken out of the stove.
Chen Mufeng felt like his heart was about to melt. He stretched out his hand to touch it, but he didn't dare.
Afraid that I would hurt them.
"Yao'er, does it hurt? Thank you, thank you for giving me such a pair of lovely children."
His eyes were moist, and he gently kissed her forehead, his voice choked.
Yu Yao had a faint smile on her lips and said weakly: "It doesn't hurt anymore. Seeing the two children makes me only happy."
Mrs. Liu looked at the goat milk on the table and tested the temperature with the back of her hand. It felt just right, so she brought it over and said with a smile: "Master, madam, the two little masters have just been born. I will feed them something first." ”
When Chen Mufeng heard this, he also realized that the two children had just been born and had not eaten yet.
He stood up and stood aside to make room for Mrs. Liu to breastfeed the child.
"Yao'er, are you hungry? There's chicken soup in the kitchen. I'll bring it to you."
Chen Mufeng looked at Yu Yao and said softly.
This chicken soup was leftover from the banquet just now. Yaoer suddenly gave birth and there was no time to make the chicken soup.
"I was full just now, how could I be hungry now?"
Yu Yao patted the bedside gently, motioned for Chen Mufeng to sit down, and then said: "Stop working, just sit here and talk to me and the children."
Chen Mufeng sat down as instructed and talked with her.
The two children were probably really hungry. They were eating deliciously and looking very cute.
A large bowl of goat's milk was consumed in a blink of an eye.
Mrs. Liu knew that the child's stomach was very small, so she thought she would eat almost enough, so she didn't dare to feed her any more.
She handed the remaining goat milk to Yu Yao, "Madam, goat milk is rich in nutrients. You have just given birth, so drink some."
"I won't drink it, it tastes too strange."
Yu Yao waved her hand with a look of disgust.
She really doesn't like drinking goat's milk, especially unprocessed milk.
Mrs. Liu didn't force herself, she just put the bowl aside gently, warmed it on the small stove, and waited for the two children to wake up before drinking.
"By the way, why did the Third Prince send people to find you?"
Yu Yao looked at Chen Mufeng, thinking of the original matter, and asked now when she remembered it.
Chen Mufeng glanced at her and sighed, "The Changfeng only said that he came to congratulate me on the order of the third prince for winning the Huiyuan, and also gave me an extremely precious book and the deed of this house, but he didn't say anything else clearly. .”
"Books and deeds? Where are the things? Have you collected them?"
she asked with a frown.
Chen Mufeng frowned, "I was about to refuse when I heard the news of your delivery, the books and the house deed"
At this point, he stopped, as if remembering something, "Yao'er, wait a minute. I'll go to the next room and have a look. It seems to have fallen on the ground. I don't know if that person took it."
< br>
After that, he got up and went to the next room. The third prince had no clear purpose and rashly gave away such a valuable thing. It was not good to accept it or not.
It would be okay if the person took it away, but it would be really bad if it was left behind or disappeared.
Seeing him leaving in a hurry, Yu Yao frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything, she just waited with peace of mind.
In the courtyard, the moonlight was like ink, and the lanterns under the eaves were swaying gently.
Li Mingxuan and Zhang Shuhan were standing in the yard talking. When they saw Chen Mufeng coming out in a hurry, they were still a little puzzled and were about to say something.
In the blink of an eye, the person left like a gust of wind and quickly entered the next room.
"What are you doing, so urgent?"
Li Mingxuan frowned and said in confusion.
Zhang Shuhan shook his head slightly and said uncertainly: "It should be something."
Chen Mufeng walked into the next room and immediately saw the book and the house deed on the table.
He breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the things to examine carefully.
The paper of this book is of fine quality, and the handwriting on it is beautiful. The content seems to contain some insights and strategies for governing the country.
The third prince's purpose was extremely obvious. He obviously wanted to win the emperor's eyes in the palace examination.
This is a good thing for myself.
But he had also heard the news in the court. Although the East Palace was established early, as several princes gradually came of age, the battle for the heir gradually surfaced.
It even got worse.
The third prince was obviously caught up in it.
At this time, the house deeds and books were sent, and the intention to win over was extremely obvious.
In particular, the gift given by the third prince was the second-entry house where he currently lives.
Originally it was only rented.
I don’t know when the third prince secretly bought it, but he actually gave the deed to the house directly to him.
Such a generous gift really made him feel embarrassed.
He paces around the room, thinking about what to do.
"Third Prince, you have posed a difficult problem for me."
He shook his head and smiled bitterly.
After accepting this generous gift, he stepped into the camp of the third prince and fell into the battle for the right to inherit the throne.
But if he didn't accept it and violated the third prince's good intentions, it would be difficult for him to survive in the officialdom.
It's not that he uses the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman.
People like the third prince don't need to deliberately embarrass him. There is only one look in his eyes that doesn't like him, but underneath there are officials who won't let him get promoted.
Chen Mufeng pondered for a long time in the room, and finally decided to temporarily accept the generous gift from the third prince.
After all, this book was of great benefit to his imperial examination, and the deed of this house also meant that he had a real place to settle down in the capital.
He is not a person who covets wealth, but in this complicated court battle, he needs more power to protect himself and everything he cherishes.
I have a decision in my mind.
He picked up the book and the house deed and returned to Yu Yao.
He handed the book and the house deed to Yu Yao, and told her his guess and decision.
Yu Yao took the book and the house deed and looked at it in her hands. This gift from the third prince was indeed valuable.
Listening to his words, she nodded slightly, "Now that you have decided, just go ahead and do it. No matter what the result is, I will support you, just be careful."
Chen Mufeng nodded in agreement.
