Chapter 391 Died of Injury
"I usually hear Yu Jin often mention that Yan Xiu is good in every way. Today, I see that it is indeed true."
While Lu was speaking, she looked at He Yanxiu again and nodded slightly again.
good.
It’s worthy of the initial vision.
"Madam, you are too kind." He Yanxiu bowed and replied with a smile.
"You come here now, I'm afraid you haven't had dinner yet?" Su Yujin said, "I made maocai tonight, and there is still some left. I'll have someone heat it up for you and make two steamed buns for you to eat."
"Okay." He Yanxiu agreed and followed Su Yujin into the house to drink tea and warm up.
Lu and Su Yunruo returned to their respective courtyards.
Mother Liu and Ai Cao were quick and agile and quickly brought over the maocai and pancakes.
It had been a long time since He Yanxiu had eaten the food cooked by Su Yujin. He Yanxiu had just finished his official business and had ridden all the way here without stopping. He was so hungry that he didn't care about his image and just wolfed down the food.
While eating, he kept praising Su Yujin's cooking skills.
Su Yujin was used to hearing others praising her cooking skills, so she was somewhat immune to it. But when she heard it from He Yanxiu, she felt it was not enough.
She even looked at He Yanxiu with a smile, and said coquettishly, "I haven't seen you for more than a month, and you haven't made any progress. On the contrary, you seem to be even more useless. It seems like someone is trying to steal your meal. Besides, there are so many chefs in the restaurants in the capital, how can they not have any good food?"
"Of course not." He Yanxiu looked at Su Yujin and smiled cunningly.
Su Yujin noticed that He Yanxiu was staring at her with a malicious smile, and knew that he must be full of lecherous thoughts at this moment. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she put the sour plum soup in front of him in a bad mood, "Drink some of this."
Cool down your anger!
He Yanxiu didn't hesitate and drank half a bowl of soup in one gulp. Then he went on to finish the pot of maocai. He slowed down his eating when he felt his stomach was almost full.
"When I came here, my grandmother talked about you for a long time and told me to ask you when you can go to the capital." He Yanxiu swallowed a fish ball and asked with a smile, "After Madam Su goes back, will you stay in the capital for a while?"
"Okay." Su Yujin agreed, "The old lady's calming incense is probably going to run out. Shopkeeper Lou gave me a lot when he left. I'll take them with me when the time comes."
"Yes." He Yanxiu smiled and nodded. "I went back to Beijing earlier and asked the emperor to grant me a marriage. The emperor has already agreed. He will issue an order in April or May."
When Su Yujin heard He Yanxiu mention this, she also said "hmm".
After dating for a while, it is indeed time to talk about marriage.
He Yanxiu considered many things carefully and properly, and moved forward in an orderly manner step by step according to the plan.
This is the point that makes Su Yujin feel most secure.
After filling up the bowl of sour plum soup next to He Yanxiu, Su Yujin asked, "How is the Third Prince these days? Is he doing well? How about the Concubine Shu? Is the pregnancy stable?"
"Everything is fine." He Yanxiu answered truthfully, "Your Highness took the medicine on time and exercised diligently every day. He recovered very well. After a few months, not only did he not become weak, but he is in better condition than before."
"The Concubine Shu is now under the care of the imperial doctors. I am also very careful not to eat too much and make sure to walk and exercise normally every day. Everything is fine, but..."
He Yanxiu paused, "He has a very bad taste, especially spicy food."
Su Yujin laughed when she heard this. "Although there is no basis for the folk rumor that sour boys and spicy girls are good, it does make sense. If this is true, then Madam Shufei has gotten what she wanted."
"As for those who like spicy food, that's easy to handle. Years ago, I pickled a lot of spicy cabbage and spicy mustard greens with mugwort. Now that they've been sitting around long enough, pregnant women like Concubine Shu can eat them. Take a few jars with you when you leave so Concubine Shu can satisfy her craving."
Although her marriage to He Yanxiu was only a stroke in the horoscope, the next stroke was a matter of time.
Since she was the future daughter-in-law of the He family, the Concubine Shu was also her aunt and she needed to show some respect to her.
"Okay." Seeing Su Yujin being so considerate, He Yanxiu agreed with a smile.
The flickering candlelight and the dim light made Su Yujin's already beautiful face look even more beautiful.
He Yanxiu looked at her in a daze for a moment and reached out his hand, wanting to touch Su Yujin's cheek.
The curtain hanging at the door moved with a rustling sound.
He Yanxiu subconsciously retracted his hand, then took a piece of cake from the plate in front of Su Yujin and ate it.
This set of movements is as smooth as flowing water.
But the person who lifted the curtain and came in was Ai Cao, holding a big bowl of hot soup in his hand.
Small hanging pear soup was made as Su Yujin had ordered.
Maocai is delicious and sour plum soup can relieve the spiciness. The two mixed together are a perfect match.
But both of them are somewhat irritating to the stomach and intestines, especially the sour plum taste that will make you feel uncomfortable in your mouth. The light and delicious pear soup can make your stomach and intestines feel much more comfortable.
After Ai Cao left, He Yanxiu put down the things in his hands and even wiped his hands with a handkerchief.
This time, He Yanxiu even looked at the door again and again.
After making sure that no one else would come in, He Yanxiu breathed a sigh of relief and tried to reach out again...
"Second Master."
Xing'an walked in.
The corner of He Yanxiu's mouth twitched.
Su Yujin couldn't help laughing and just giggled.
It turns out that even God would not approve of the shameless things that some scoundrels want to do.
He Yanxiu looked helpless, but he didn't say anything. He just took the biscuit and stuffed it into his mouth viciously, and said vaguely, "What's the matter?"
"A letter was sent by carrier pigeon in the capital." Xing'an handed over the copper tube in his hand.
He Yanxiu didn't bother to blame Xing'an, but instead sat up straight subconsciously.
He had just arrived from the capital and had not even finished his meal when news came in from the capital.
It can be seen that it is very urgent.
He Yanxiu frowned, took the copper tube, pulled out a roll of thin letter paper from it, and glanced at it.
Then he folded the letter slightly and lit it with the candlelight next to it.
"What happened?" Su Yujin was very surprised when she saw He Yanxiu's complicated expression.
"It is said that the Second Prince was unfortunately hit by a huge falling rock while supervising the construction of the imperial mausoleum and died." He Yanxiu slowly uttered these words.
First, Concubine Gong hanged herself, and now Qin Peiheng died accidentally.
This all happened in just a few days.
Is it a coincidence?
…
It was late at night and everyone was asleep, turning off the lights.
There was still a bright candlelight in Su Yunruo's room, and she was polishing a piece of wood.
The wood was sandalwood. She wanted to grind it into beads and make a sandalwood forbidden step for Su Yujin. This way, she could wear it every day.
However, while polishing, the file accidentally scratched my finger.
Blood beads appeared instantly, and the fingers soon turned bright red.
Jinbu, a jade pendant worn by a woman, is used to limit the range of her steps, so that she can walk more gracefully, hence the name "Jinbu".
