Chapter 2445 Waste Princess 33
The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief. Although Prince Liang and her looked very different, they were still respectful. If she dies and the prince succeeds to the throne, he may not be able to respect her unrelated grandmother.
Xining breathed a sigh of relief. She was the one who made the meatballs. Prince Liang choked to death and he might question her. Now I really have to die to make amends.
I didn't bother to eat the remaining meatballs, so I gave them to the servants. Xining and the Queen Mother just sat there, feeling as if they were losing their strength.
I don't know how long she sat there before Ziling came in and said softly to the Queen Mother: "Lingji is still with the King, and it seems she won't be able to come back for a while. The chamberlain beside her also asked her to boil water and wait for later use."< br>
The Queen Mother was a little surprised and turned to look at Xining: "Did you already..."
Xining immediately understood what the Queen Mother meant: "No, no, grandma, it's nothing. Mo'er was also a little surprised. It must be that my father has been worried about the government and family affairs in the past few days. Seeing Lingji's gentleness, he must have liked her."
Calculating the time, the young master Chongyao died less than a month ago, and Mrs. Jiang Shu had been in trouble for that long. She lost her only son, and she once dreamed of letting him replace the prince and inherit the throne. Now that there is nothing left, it is naturally unbearable.
The King of Liang sympathized with Mrs. Jiang Shu, did not favor the concubine, and went to visit her. But once I went there, I wasn't happy anymore, and I was simply too angry to go away. Yesterday I thought about how I could calm down after not going there for a few days, so I went back again. As a result, after half a stick of incense, I came out with a livid face again.
When I arrived here today, I met Ling Ji who was as obedient as a girl and was as shy as a girl. Naturally, I no longer felt depressed.
The Queen Mother thought about it, but she was a little worried after thinking about it: "If she gets pregnant, it will harm Ling Ji. This girl, the silk flowers are really good."
Xining smiled brightly: "Lingji was given cold medicine to eliminate offspring earlier. Although it took a while and she nursed back to health for a month, she still has not fully recovered and it is difficult to get pregnant. If she does, it is a good thing. Grandma has a baby. Don’t grandchildren who have been raised since childhood enjoy the blessings of grandchildren even more?”
As soon as the Queen Mother chewed on the words, she understood that Princess Mo would be ten years old after the Chinese New Year. Although she was still young, it would only be a blink of an eye for her to be fifteen and have hairpins.
When a woman reaches the age of fifteen, she can be betrothed to another family. Although there are many princesses in the Liang Dynasty, there are more in other vassal states, so it is difficult to guarantee that they will be taken as concubines in marriage.
By then, if Ling Ji has a child who is five years old, no matter male or female, she can be more lively in her later years and can be relied upon to be smarter.
The Queen Mother's heart suddenly softened, and she waved to Princess Mo, called her to her, held her in her arms, and touched her head: "You child, you think too much. Grandma will never let you marry far away."
King Liang slept directly at the Queen Mother's house, and Xi Ning made food for King Liang.
In the evening, the side hall asked for water three or four times. Xi Ning really impressed King Liang. He was almost 40 years old, and he still didn't take his time like this.
The king of Liang had to go to court the next day. When I left, my face was glowing and I felt refreshed.
As soon as King Liang left, Xining quickly asked Lingji to lie down.
"Princess, it's useless." Ling Ji wanted to get up.
"Whether it's useful or not, just lie down for a day." Xi Ning took the opportunity to find out the pulse and said that the palace doctor nursed Lingji back to health, but in fact it was her prescription. So she knew that these two days happened to be Lingji's ovulation period.
"So what if she does, she won't give birth smoothly, even Mrs. Jiang Shu..." Ling Ji said with tears streaming down her face.
"If it comes true, the Queen Mother is willing to let you and the child live in this palace." She smiled.
"Really?" Ling Ji was overjoyed. Just as she was about to stand up and kneel down to say thank you, Xi Ning stopped her.
She helped Lingji cover the quilt: "Lie down for two days. I don't know if it will work. Anyway, take care of it as it comes. Sometimes in life you must have it. Don't force it if there is no time in life."
After King Liang left, there was no news at all and he never came. The news is that Mrs. Jiang Shu made another fuss, questioning whether King Liang was worthy of her and her son who died in infancy, smashed the Jinxiu Palace again, and cried while holding the son's memorial tablet.
King Liang was so troubled that he walked away angrily and lived in the place where he reviewed the memorials. No woman was seen.
As a result, Ling Ji, who could have promoted her position, was left stranded.
Half a month later, while making bird's nest porridge for the Queen Mother in the kitchen, Xining took Lingji's pulse and found that Lingji's pulse had changed a bit: "Be careful these days and don't eat cold things."
< br>
Lingji asked nervously: "Are you pregnant?" She smiled and comforted: "Don't be nervous, even if you are pregnant, the pulse is still not obvious just now. If the sunflower water has not arrived this time, you must be more careful. ”
Lingji nodded, added a piece of charcoal to the small stove, and continued to look at the fire. Xining also stood up and went to the side to see how Chun'er was doing. Chun'er is taking a piece of frozen mutton and cutting it into thin slices to make sautee. The meat should be cut into pieces as thick and as thick as a fingernail, so that the sautee will be fragrant.
While everyone was doing their own thing, a sweeper came over from outside and whispered that someone was looking for her outside.
"You go on, I'll come as soon as I can." Xining walked out of the kitchen. A cold wind blew by, bringing with it goose feather-like snowflakes.
It's late winter, and there's heavy snow. Even thick animal skin boots couldn't stop the coldness of the snow on the ground.
When he walked to the door, Xining was shivering with cold. He put his hands in the sleeves opposite each other and saw clearly who was coming: "Why are you here?"
It was Ying Hui. He was wearing a fur cloak, which should be rabbit skin. After all, mink and fox skins were not something he could enjoy. I haven't seen you for two months and you have grown a lot taller.
"Is it cold?" Seeing that she was freezing, he quickly took off his cloak and covered her.
The clothes underneath were exposed, and they were Mr. Wen's old clothes, but at least he could be fed and clothed, and Mrs. Yinglan was still kind to him.
"Tell me, it's nothing." Don't please me, I've stopped doing this a long time ago. I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, either to borrow money or to do things. Anyway, I am either committing adultery or stealing.
Yinghui hesitated and asked: "Can you lend me some money?"
Sure enough, even if it is said to be a loan, in fact it is very likely that it will not be returned.
Xining raised an eyebrow.
Yinghui struggled for a while, then lowered his voice and said: "I heard that my father is dying, I think..."
"You want to escape..." Xining pretended to be surprised and raised a finger to Yinghui.
"Shh~" Ying Hui was so scared that he wanted to cover her mouth.
Okay, Xining took Ying Hui's hand and looked up and down: "In this weather, how far can you go alone?"
Ying Hui took a deep breath: "My father has no legitimate son. Even if he can't become the King of Qin, as long as he makes the right bet, he will be successful for the new king. At least he can be made a doctor. If I don't go back, I won't even have the chance."
At this young age, I already have this plan. I really don’t know whether it’s the ancient people’s high IQ or the future humans.
Xining frowned: "Don't you ask if the young master is stable?" A random piece of the young master's mother, Mrs. Yinglan's dowry would be enough for a family to live on for three years.
Ying Hui shook his head: "He is the son of King Liang after all. I can't let King Liang know when I go back."
Isn’t she the daughter of Prince Liang?
Seeing her rolling her eyes, Ying Hui quickly explained: "Young Master Wen already understands the truth. If you don't report me, King Liang will be angry. And you..."
With embarrassment: "You are still young, so you will say that you were cheated by me. Don't worry, I will pay you back, double the amount!"
Unable to extinguish the young man's passion and hope, Xining asked directly: "How much do you want?"
Yinghui's eyes lit up: "How much do you have?"
Xining took off his cloak and gave it back to Yinghui: "At this time tomorrow, wait outside the backyard door."
"Okay." Yinghui nodded.
