Fast forward to March, the earth is getting warmer, and spring flowers are blooming.
Early in the morning, Shiliu and Fan Jin dressed up and went out. Today they are going to Zhou Mansion for a wedding banquet.
Zhou Bingwen got married to the daughter of the Minister of Rites last year, and the big day was expected to be today.
Zhou Bingwen is two years older than Fan Jin, and should have gotten married long ago. The Shangshu Mansion was thinking about this situation, and was satisfied that the marriage was going well, so they tried their best to choose this one in the first half of the year. Auspicious day.
Zhou's father and Zhou's mother came to the capital shortly after the New Year to help with the wedding arrangements and wait for their daughter-in-law to come through!
Although Zhou Bingwen is a junior high school official, he is only a minor official in the Hanlin Academy. Most of the people who came to Zhou's mansion for a wedding banquet today are people from the Hanlin Academy, and some are officials of similar rank to Zhou Bingwen. A few have high status. Some of them also looked at the face of the Minister of Etiquette and congratulated him. There were quite a few guests.
Although Pomegranate is just the wife of a little Shujishi, she was personally appointed as a township monarch by the emperor, so she is of high rank. Naturally, she sits at the front of the group of female relatives and chats with her. There are also many people.
We had a fun time at Zhou Mansion and had a wedding banquet. As a classmate and good friend, Fan Jin helped Zhou Bingwen hold back a lot of wine. When he got back, he got on the carriage with a drunken face and hugged The pomegranate will not let go.
Pomegranate had a black line on her forehead, "Let go, let go quickly, you are going to strangle me to death."
She didn't believe that this girl was really drunk. She has such a good capacity to drink. He's not drunk at all, he's just pretending to be drunk to take advantage of her!
Isn't it just that I haven't let him touch it for almost half a month? That's all this girl does.
Who told this girl to be intemperate and act well if she was given a small discount? She didn't want to go out rubbing her waist every day.
Fan Jin's arm holding her loosened a little, but he still held her tight, "I'm drunk, I'm so drunk, I have a headache."
Pomegranate felt uncomfortable hearing his voice, and she was dubious. In the end, she let him lean on her and raised her hand to rub his head to relieve his pain.
She moved gently, and Fan Jin let out a sigh of comfort.
But soon, Pomegranate's face darkened, and she slapped off his restless paw, "Do you believe I'll let you sleep in the study tonight?"
Fan Jin, who was buried in Pomegranate's neck, looked a little aggrieved. How could there be any trace of drunkenness in his eyes?
Alas, he has such a good capacity for drinking that even if he even wants to pretend to be drunk and act drunkenly, he can't.
......
The end of March is an auspicious day for moving into a new house. One after another, families have moved to their new homes in Yongpingfang.
On this day, people moved there in a lively manner, and a warm house wine was specially held. Naturally, all the people invited were acquaintances.
My mother’s family is indispensable. There are also Luo Mansion, Weiyuan Bo Mansion, Liu Family, and Jingan Hou Mansion. Shiliu never thought that people would come, but she didn’t expect that Jingan Hou Shizi He also came with the Crown Prince’s wife.
Pomegranate naturally hurried to greet her.
She was not familiar with Mrs. Jingan Hou Shizi and had never met her. Fortunately, Liang was there and she quickly became familiar with her.
Liang and Liu Yue entered Beijing together with Liu Dong’s family at the end of February. The good day for Liu Yue’s marriage is scheduled for next spring. Liu Dong’s family and Liang’s family plan to have their daughter get married in the capital. So, now that I have come to the capital, I will not go back to Bingzhou, and the prepared dowry will be transported to the capital one after another.
As soon as Liu Yue came to Beijing, she came to talk to Shiliu. She chatted a lot, saying that she went to the south last year and had seen the grand gatherings in the rivers and lakes. It was lively and lively, but that was it.
He also talked about Liu Xi being pregnant. At the end, he looked at Pomegranate's belly and asked her girlishly when she would have a baby. She would be an aunt by then.
Pomegranate also laughed. Although she and Fan Jin were already famous, she was not ready for the birth of a child yet, so she took measures.
Anyway, Fan Jin also told Lu that they were not in a hurry to have children. Although Lu was anxious, she never said anything.
On the other hand, her mother and grandma couldn't sit still.
No, just two days after the Warm House Wine Festival, Shiliu specially picked up everyone from her parents' family to have a good meal at the new house. There were many people on the day of the Warm House Wine Festival, so she didn't get to talk and look at the house.
There is no one else here today, so my family can take a good look around.
After wandering around for a while, Father Li couldn’t help but nod his head, "This house given by the emperor is great! When I get back, I have to talk to your great uncle and the others. I'm afraid I won't say anything. I can't finish talking for three days and three nights. This trip to the capital is worth it!"
Pomegranate heard the tone of his words and couldn't help but said: "Grandpa, I have all done it! I said, I’m used to living in the capital. If I stay here for two more years, I won’t be in a hurry to return to Bingzhou.”
Dad Li waved his hand, “The capital is very lively. We’ve seen it here, and we can’t live here.” After living here, it’s already been busy, but I still want to go back. I miss my family so much after being away from home for half a year! We’ll go back next month!”
It was worthwhile to come to the capital in this life. He couldn't live in the capital forever. Although the capital was good, Xiahe Village was still better. In his heart, he missed his family, the village, and everyone. It was time to go back!
Pomegranate was reluctant to leave her family, "Should we leave after the Dragon Boat Festival? There is a dragon boat race in the capital during the Dragon Boat Festival, which is very lively!"
Although Father Li was moved, he was still determined, "No, no, no. , the Dragon Boat Festival is also lively at home! If after the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather gets hot again, then you will definitely say don’t worry about it because it’s hot! Let's hurry up and wait for the weather to cool down. But when the weather cools down, we will celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival again. Then you decided to let us stay after the Mid-Autumn Festival before leaving. It will be cold again by then, and you may have to wait for us to finish the New Year. It’s spring next year, so we’d better leave next month!”
Pomegranate: ...Grandpa really expected that she would stay like this.
Old Yuan on the side was also amused. He pulled the pomegranate and said, "You are so thoughtful that you brought us to the capital to see the city. We have lived here for half a year and have seen everything we should see. What's the excitement? Didn’t you see it? Xiahe Village is our root. We have to go back. We must miss it at home.”
Pomegranate also understands this truth. As people get older, they all miss their home. No matter how good the outside world is, it is not as good as their own home.
Especially, there are three uncles and four uncles at home, the eldest uncle and others, as well as relatives, friends and clan members are all at home.
She could only nod her head, "Okay, I'll make arrangements and set off in mid-April, right? Just give it another half a month."
Dad Li also nodded, "Okay."
That was settled, and he happily continued to walk around the garden to look more carefully so that he could explain it more clearly when he went back.
Lao Yuan and Mrs. Song took Pomegranate into the house to talk. While Mrs. Lu went to the kitchen to see if the lunch dinner was gone, they had to say something quickly.
"Pomegranate, you and Fan Jin have been married for almost a year, why haven't you made any move yet?" Mrs. Song glanced at Pomegranate's belly and asked.
Pomegranate:...
"I don't want to have a baby so early."
Song glared, "You are already eighteen this year, why is it still early? I am ten Ba has given birth to your eldest brother.”
Old Yuan also said: "Yes, he is already eighteen years old, and Fan Jin is the only child. It will not be easy for your mother-in-law to help him grow up. She is also looking forward to having a grandson as soon as possible, so that he can have a better future. Although she talks about it. I won’t say it, but you have to hurry up. Don't delay, otherwise everyone will have gossip by then."
Mrs. Song nodded in agreement, "Fan Jin, his eldest cousin, got married a year earlier, and he is already pregnant with his second child. , you still haven’t caught up, this gossip It doesn’t sound good.”
Pomegranate: “What’s so fun about giving birth? Crying and crying is not cute at all.”
Ms. Song stared at her with a look of ‘You can’t tell. With such words, he said with an expression: "Then who said that Baozhu is cute, hugging her and kissing her one after another?"
Pomegranate curled her lips: "You don't have to give birth to a child by yourself, of course it is cute."< br>
"Hurry up and give birth, and I'll take care of it for you. I originally said that I would go back to Bingzhou with your grandma and the others. If you get pregnant right away, I won't go back. I'll stay and wait for you to have the baby and take care of the baby for you." Song Shi Dao.
“But it hurts so much to give birth, and no one else can help me give birth.”
Old Yuan is funny, this granddaughter is already married, but she looks like a child. This woman gives birth to a child. , there is nothing that doesn’t hurt.
"Pomegranate, this woman gave birth to a baby. The first time it hurt, she just had to endure it. As long as the first baby is passed, it will be easy to give birth to the second, third, and fourth babies! I gave birth to your sister-in-law back then. , from activation to birth, it doesn’t take more than two quarters of an hour, it’s easier than pooping!”< br>
"Yes, I only suffered a little when I gave birth to your eldest sister and second brother. Then I gave birth to your little brother very quickly and it didn't hurt at all." Mrs. Song said: "Can you still believe me? With your grandma? We have given birth to so many children, so we have experience!”
Pomegranate looked at the sky speechlessly, "Okay, my mother-in-law hasn't given birth yet, my own grandmother and mother did it first."
Why does giving birth not hurt, and is easier than pooping?
Grandma, do you want to listen to what you are saying?
Also, who wants to have three, four, and five babies!
She definitely didn’t want it!
In order to prevent the two of them from continuing to chatter, Pomegranate could only quickly reconcile and make peace, and she must give birth as soon as possible!
It’s just that she can’t say whether she will give birth or when she will give birth.
But seeing that she agreed, the Song mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stopped talking.
Although I stayed for half a month longer, the half month was fleeting.
Even though Pomegranate was reluctant to say goodbye, she could only say goodbye to her grandparents.
The only people who went back this time were Li and Yuan, as well as Li Jihe who accompanied his parents back.
Li Rongzong and Li Rongyu naturally cannot leave. The express station outside the city has been built, and the farm pomegranate gifted by the Holy Spirit has also been turned into a workshop. Lin and Huang Chunni also went to Zhuangzi to take charge of the production of the puppet workshop.
The Song family also stayed. Firstly, she stayed to take care of her grandchildren, and secondly, she wanted to wait for the good news about her daughter. She really planned to raise children for her daughter.
Mr. Song felt regretful that she would not go back and not be able to see her eldest daughter and grandson. She only asked Li Jihe to go back to help her take a look at her and bring back a lot of things. Originally, Mrs. Lu wanted to go back, but Fan Jin and Shiliu naturally kept her and refused to let her go back.
In the past, they pretended to get married and lived with Mrs. Lu, fearing that Mrs. Lu would find out the truth, but now, they didn't have this worry. Naturally, they couldn't let Mrs. Lu go back. They were worried about being alone at home.
The new house on the left and right is very big. Mr. Lu lives in a courtyard with a separate courtyard. Although it is next to the main courtyard, it is also a separate door. Unlike the previous house in Mianmian Hutong, you can come out from the cross courtyard. We have to go through the main courtyard, which is a bit inconvenient.
Mrs. Lu was also thinking about having her grandson, and Mrs. Luo also wanted her to live in the capital and see each other often, so she stayed.
……
As soon as May comes, the weather gets hotter and hotter.
On the Dragon Boat Festival, Fan Jin also took a day off, and everyone went out to watch the dragon boat race.
There are many sheds built just beside Chenghu Lake. As the village king, Pomegranate also shared a good-looking shed. He took his family to squeeze in and sit inside to watch the dragon boat race. , which is better than being outside in the sun and crowded with other people.
While watching the excitement of the dragon boat race, suddenly, there was a noise and confusion in the shed in front. Shiliu was also startled and asked Wan Cheng to go and see what was going on.
Not long after, Wan Cheng rushed back and reported: "Something happened to the shed where His Royal Highness was staying. I heard that His Highness seemed to have been poisoned."
The latest chapter of this novel is at 6 @9书# is the first release, please go to Liujiu Book Bar to read it!
"What?" Pomegranate was shocked when he heard this.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was canonized as the Crown Prince. In the past few years, he has already firmly established himself as the Crown Prince. The Emperor values him, and so do the ministers.
Someone who rebelled before is still guarding the imperial mausoleum. The former third prince who also had the same thoughts and now King Zhao has long since become honest and peaceful.
For the rest, the age difference is too big. Even if they have this intention, no one's mother's family can match the prince's.
Who dares to poison the prince and want to murder the prince so that he can sit in this position?
In other words, who else hides it so deeply?
But it would be too stupid to poison His Royal Highness in public.
But stupidity is stupidity. If the poisoning is successful, it’s really hard to say.
Pomegranate asked the prince if anything was okay.
Wan Chengzhi said that the imperial doctor had already arrived. The entire Chenghu Lake was surrounded by people from Shuntian Mansion, and no one was allowed to leave.
This is about tracking down the poisoner.
It won’t stop for a while.
Pomegranate hurriedly reassured Mrs. Song and the others, "It's okay, don't panic, they will just stay in this shed."
I have been waiting for more than an hour, and I don’t know what will happen next, but finally all the officials surrounding me have withdrawn.
It was already noon, Shiliu quickly took her family back to Yongpingfang.
There were many cars and horses all the way, stopping and walking, and it took a long time to get back home smoothly.
It wasn’t until the afternoon of the next day that Shiliu learned about the follow-up situation from Liu Dong’s family.
The prince was poisoned, but it was not the poison he got while watching the dragon boat race, but the poison hidden in his body. In other words, the prince had been poisoned for a long time, but he never knew it.
Pomegranate listened and hurriedly asked: "Since I have been poisoned for a long time, how could it not be diagnosed before?"
Whether it is the emperor, queen or prince, the nobles in this palace are all Please ask for Ping An pulse check regularly every month.
Liu Dongjia also had a worried look on his face, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never been diagnosed with any physical illness before. The imperial doctor who is responsible for asking for a safe pulse for the Crown Prince has been so angry that the emperor ransacked his house and put him in jail to wait for disposal.
As for the matter, What kind of poison did the prince get? All the doctors from the imperial hospital All were at a loss. Only the newly arrived hospital, the Left Hospital, diagnosed the poison that had been dormant in the prince's body for a long time. This kind of poison was extremely rare and unique. It could be poisoned not through food, but through touch, and if it was just a little bit of poison, , it is not fatal, and the body will not be found to have any symptoms at first. It's strange, but once the toxin attacks, it must have reached the point where the poisoning is deep, and he cannot detoxify it.
Furthermore, after carefully asking about the prince's daily life, the left court found that the prince was poisoned. The source of this is the painting of "Wind and Rain Mountain Bamboo and Stone" last year.
Now the emperor has issued a public notice to recruit famous doctors from all over the world to come to the palace to detoxify His Highness, claiming that as long as he can detoxify His Highness, he will reward him with ten thousand taels of gold
His Royal Highness is still unconscious. Awakening state ”
Pomegranate was shocked after hearing this.
It’s that painting!
Li Yan is so thoughtful!
She finally understood why Li Yan ran out to die by himself even though he knew he was about to die soon.
Also, he clearly didn't care about the child born to Princess Zhaozhao, but he still wanted to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to see his daughter. It was just to confuse His Highness the Crown Prince.
The real purpose is to naturally give the painting that had been poisoned a long time ago to His Royal Highness!
He knew that the prince loved that painting, and he would often touch it and look at it...
That's why he gave this kind of poison, which made people unknowingly poisoned. Over time, it accumulated. When the toxin reaches a certain level and it attacks again, the poisoning is already deep.
Now, I am afraid that an antidote will be available immediately or it may be possible to save the life of His Highness the Crown Prince...
But since Li Yan has tried so hard, how can he have this antidote?
Shiliu didn't hold out much hope, and sighed quietly in her heart. It turned out that Li Yan's smile was not just for her.
He has plans for her, and he also has plans for His Royal Highness.
So, what was the reason for such a thoughtful Li Yan to go to Tai Hospital in the first place?
In order to instigate Prince Gong to rebel, this point remains to be studied, but it is not necessarily true.
So, what is it for?
He shouldn't do anything useless.
Pomegranate thought about it over and over again, but she couldn’t figure it out.
Now I can only hope that someone can really detoxify this poison and His Royal Highness will be fine.
But for several days, famous doctors came to the palace one after another, but no one could detoxify the prince.
The emperor was furious and the entire court was silent.
You can even see Jin Yiwei galloping on the street. I don't know if it was brought back to the palace by a doctor who traveled day and night from somewhere outside the capital.
The streets and alleys of the capital have also become quiet, and everyone can feel the unrest.
Two days later, the capital was suddenly under martial law.
Today, Fan Jin returned home three quarters of an hour later than before.
As soon as he entered the house, he said to Shiliu with a serious expression: "The prince passed away at noon."
Hearing this, Pomegranate was startled.
I had expected it, but unexpectedly, the prince really failed to wait for a miracle.
Pomegranate was disappointed and couldn't help but wonder, could this treasure be poisonous?
Obviously the prince is good at everything. If he ascends the throne, he will definitely be a good emperor in the future, but he was actually poisoned and lost his life at such a young age.
Talk about the bad things he has done, presumably he just got the 40% of the treasure, right?
Isn't this just because the treasure is poisonous?
Pomegranate sighed with emotion and felt slightly excited.
If the prince dies, the court will be in chaos. I don’t know who the next prince will be.
What a coincidence, they are in the capital, and they don’t know what will happen.
After thinking about it, Shiliu immediately started making arrangements. After the prince's funeral, he sent the Lu family and the Song family and a group of children back to Bingzhou.
As for Li Rongzhang and others, let them go back first and travel around.
Sure enough, the capital became less peaceful after that.
