Chapter 248 Plum Blossom Encounter
The woman hurriedly lowered her head and replied respectfully: "Because I am good at playing the harp, I called you Yuqin when I was in the Prince's Mansion. Now that I am with the princess, I would like to ask the princess to give me my name."
Before he finished speaking, the Sixth Prince said from the side: "What's wrong with jade? Ordinary women can't be called jade, let alone a lowly singer. Does she deserve to be called jade? She doesn't have any self-knowledge. In the future, she will be called jade." Remove the word jade."
Hearing this, Shen Qiujun felt happy. He glanced at the Sixth Prince with a smile and said, "Then just follow what the prince said. You must be careful and diligent in the future, and don't let the prince's palace lose face."
Qin'er hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Prince and Princess, for giving me your name. I must be careful when doing my job."
Shen Qiujun nodded, and the girl stepped forward to lead Qin'er out to make arrangements.
Shen Qiujun didn't know how Qin'er became the sixth prince's concubine in the past life. It is difficult to investigate in this life, but he must be careful not to repeat the past. It's just that the person has already arrived at the house, so it is difficult to drive him out directly. Besides, the prince's face is still there. Inside, we can only strengthen precautions to prevent her from having a chance to meet the Sixth Prince.
Shen Qiujun thought about it for a while, and the next day he thought it was a gift from the prince, and his identity was different from others. He specially arranged for someone to separate a small courtyard with several huts, and sent a few trustworthy maids to wait on her. At the same time, he secretly ordered those people: He only said that Qin'er belonged to the prince. In order to prevent her from damaging Prince Anle's palace, Qin'er was not allowed to leave the courtyard without an order, otherwise he would be severely punished.
Those few people didn't know what Shen Qiujun was thinking. It was the princess' order and they didn't dare to slack off. Besides, they were all a family in the palace, so they naturally didn't want anything to happen to the palace, so they were even more cautious.
Shen Qiujun continued to observe secretly for a few days. He found that Qin'er was also a well-behaved person. He did not act arrogantly and cause trouble because he was a member of the Prince's Mansion. He only stayed in the courtyard as expected and never bribed anyone, so he felt at ease. Some.
After the Sixth Prince heard about this, he just thought that Shen Qiujun was worried about him, which was quite satisfying. Of course, he felt very comfortable. Some things still needed to be discussed.
The sixth prince kicked down the person who came to tip off the news. He sneered: "It's because of you little people who love to stir up troubles that the family is often in trouble. How dare you come to me and talk about the princess?" No, the princess still needs you to tell her what to do? Because of the Chinese New Year celebrations, I have been practicing self-cultivation and not committing any sins. It makes you feel itchy. You dare not even take what I said to heart? Someone bring me a needle and sew their mouths shut."
The person who came to ask for help immediately turned pale with fright and collapsed to the side, screaming in his heart.
Even after the death of the tiger, the power of the tiger still lingers. They don't dare to confront the princess who gave birth to their eldest son, just because the sixth prince has been married for many years. They face the princess every day, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, no matter how delicious the food is. There are times when delicious food is boring. Now they saw that the Sixth Prince had brought a singer back from outside. This was an unprecedented thing. How could a cat not steal the food? Looking at Shen Qiujun's defensive posture, they couldn't help but have their thoughts moved. , I wanted to test it out, whether it would be better to work in the mansion in the future.
Unexpectedly, they stung a hornet's nest. This man actually wanted to fulfill what he said back then. Those few were so frightened that they even begged for mercy and banged their heads.
The Sixth Prince always kept his word. However, thinking that Shen Qiujun was pregnant now, he did not dare to let such a bloody disaster happen to his house, so he ordered his family to take away a penny except for the clothes on their bodies. Drive him out of the house like this and let him fend for himself.
After this incident, no one in the mansion dared to talk about Shen Qiujun's merits in front of the Sixth Prince.
After Shen Qiujun heard about it, he was moved in his heart. The sixth prince didn't take it seriously and said: "You and I are husband and wife. Naturally, I have to believe in you as much as I believe in myself. But I am a human being, not a god. Three people can become a tiger, and a common voice can make gold." , I don’t have the sharp eyes to read people’s hearts. If there are always villains blowing wind at the base of my ears, I may not be affected in the future. By then, it will be too late. It’s better to be prepared for a rainy day.”
Shen Qiujun sighed: "I just think you are too stupid. In this way, you have blocked all avenues of speech and only listened to and believed. If I had deliberately deceived you and done something sorry for you, wouldn't you..."
When Shen Qiujun said this, he felt an unbearable pain in his heart. If that day came, he was afraid that he would be struck by lightning.
The sixth prince held Shen Qiujun's face and smiled and said: "Sister Yu, you won't do that to me. I believe in you more than I believe in myself."
Shen Qiujun smiled sheepishly: "I guess I am pregnant with a little girl. The weather has been bad recently, so I always feel sad about something and worry about gains and losses."
The Sixth Prince also smiled and said: "This year is really unusual. It snowed for several days during the Lantern Festival. It was cold and slippery, and I didn't dare to go out for a walk. It inevitably affected my mood."
After Shen Qiujun got the sixth prince to smooth things over, he stopped thinking about the bad luck and stood with the sixth prince in front of the window enjoying the snow.
At this time, Li Yaoqin was sitting in the warm pavilion in the backyard of Meixiang Temple, watching the girls outside collecting snow water from the plum blossoms. For a moment, she said to Lin Jingzhou with a little regret: "With such good snow and such gorgeous plum blossoms, I really should go out and enjoy it." I appreciate it, but the two brothers and sister are in such good spirits that I don’t dare to go out, lest they make a fuss about going out too."
Lin Jingzhou smiled and said: "You don't have to go outside to enjoy the snow and flowers. It's the same in this house. Eating hot tea and snacks is no better than being cold outside."
Li Yaoqin sighed, she was just taking a quick look inside the house, but outside the house she was immersed in the scene, so the feeling was naturally different.
After a while, the snow gradually stopped. At this time, the Duke Dingguo's mansion sent a boy to ask Lin Jingzhou to come back to the mansion for something.
Li Yaoqin smiled and said: "Then you can go back. There are many people here, so nothing will happen. Besides, the snow has not been collected yet. If you leave, I can enjoy walking in the snow."
When Lin Jingzhou heard about it, he told his wife to keep warm and not to freeze, and not to let the two little ones walk around. He would pick them up after he was done, so they must not go on the road alone.
Li Yaoqin hurriedly agreed one by one, and then Lin Jingzhou and several family members rode away.
Sister Rong was still young and was coaxed to sleep for a while, but Brother Ming was in great spirits and insisted on going out to play in the snow together. Li Yaoqin had no choice but to ask the wet nurse to take good care of Sister Rong and took Brother Ming out.
Brother Ming watched the girls collecting snow for a while and found it very boring. Li Yaoqin picked snow for a while, but was also uninterested, so he took his son slowly along the plum forest to enjoy the snow.
At that time, this temple was an inconspicuous small temple without even a temple name. Later, because some scholars lived in seclusion here and planted a large number of plum trees, the temple got its name. Li Yaoqin slowly watched the plum blossoms in the snow. While quietly talking to my son about poems about plum blossoms and snow.
But unexpectedly, someone smiled and said, "I've long heard that Mrs. Lin is extremely talented and knowledgeable. Today, when I saw her, she truly lived up to her reputation." Following the words, several people turned around from Merlin's side.
Both mother and son Li Yaoqin were shocked. After Li Yaoqin was shocked, she felt a little angry in her heart. It turned out that the person who came was none other than the King Xian and his attendants.
Brother Ming was quite clever. As soon as he saw him, he stepped forward and said politely, "Ming'er has met Prince Xian."
The wise king did not expect that this child could remember him after only meeting him once. He was very surprised and said with a smile: "He is indeed a smart child."
Li Yaoqin just saluted on the spot and said seriously: "Today, this temple has been taken over by my Lin family. I wonder why the prince is here?"
Seeing Li Yaoqin's sullen face, the Xian Wang looked stern again and hurriedly smiled and said: "The monks in the temple have already told me. I just passed by here and saw that the plum blossoms are blooming well here. Since Jingzhou is here, I can take advantage of it."
Let’s enjoy the scenery once, because the flowers are so attractive in bloom, I couldn’t wait any longer, so I came in through the side door. I wonder where Jing Zhou is, could you lead me there?”
When Li Yaoqin heard this, he thought to himself that this would be a good match for Shang Jing. Lin Jingzhou had just left, and he came in from the other door. The monk only knew that Lin Jingzhou was here, but did not expect that he had left just now, so he had to reply: "Because
There are some affairs in the palace, and he has just left, so I can't entertain the prince. I will ask my husband to invite you here to enjoy the scenery tomorrow as an apology. Forgive me for being rude."
When the Xian Wang heard that he could not enjoy the scenery today, he felt a little disappointed. Now that he saw Li Yaoqin turning around and leaving, he felt even more reluctant to leave. Seeing that there was no one around Li Yaoqin and her son, he was bold enough to step forward and step forward.
He walked to Li Yaoqin and whispered: "How have you been doing since you married to Duke Dingguo?"
Li Yaoqin didn't listen. When he heard this, he became angry. Why did the wise king talk to him like this?
Li Yaoqin couldn't help but sneer in her heart when she looked at the Xian Wang. He thought that he was loved by everyone. He was deceived by him in his previous life and abandoned by him in this life. He pushed it to Lin Jingzhou. How dare he act like this today?
Holy Spirit, Li Yaoqin replied coldly: "I'm living a good life, I don't need to worry about you."
When the wise king saw her like this, he was a little confused. The last few times he saw her, she was always smiling, not to mention her eyebrows and eyes before getting married. Why did she become so cold today?
The Xian Wang glanced around and thought to himself, although she had no servants around her, she brought a few attendants with her, plus there was Brother Ming, so he couldn't blame her for such an attitude.
After thinking about it, the wise king hurriedly moved to the side, his expression became calmer, and he said with a smile: "I just heard from the monk that Mrs. Lin wants to take the snow from the plum blossoms here to make tea, which is a very elegant thing.
, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to taste it in the future?”
Seeing him like this, Li Yaoqin couldn't get angry again, so she could only say reluctantly: "I'm afraid I can't do it. I have raised money to entertain Princess Anle, and I have already agreed, so I can't make a mistake."
After hearing this, King Xian had a strange look on his face: "Are you very close to Princess Anle?"
When Li Yaoqin saw the wise king's expression, alarm bells rang loudly in her heart, and she hurriedly said: "It's just a friendship between our wives and has nothing to do with the affairs of the court. Please don't misunderstand me." (To be continued. If you like it.)
