Chapter 57 She is pregnant too
"Master, the things have been retrieved. Master, why are you doing this?"
Zhu Xin looked at the exquisite sleeve arrows in the box and asked doubtfully, "Do we still need these for self-defense when we are in the mansion?"
Zhuxin was a little nervous and looked around, as if she was afraid that someone would come out and hurt the baby in her master's belly.
"Puff"
Shen Lingshu couldn't help but smile at this scene and said, "I prepared this for the prince."
"Your Highness?" Zhu Xin's eyes were full of confusion.
"Go to the front yard later and tell Brother Qingwu to invite the prince to dinner." Shen Lingshu ordered. Zhu Xin didn't ask any more questions and waited in the front yard early.
Zhu Xin looked at Jindian standing beside her and stood silently by.
"Miss Zhuxin, is there something wrong with Concubine Chen?" Qingwu saw Zhuxin as soon as he came out of the study. He was worried that something might have happened to Concubine Chen.
Aunt Shen is pregnant with the prince's first child, twins.
"Brother Qingwu, my master wants to invite the prince to dinner in the courtyard tonight. My master has something very important to say." Jindian spoke first, and at the same time, stuffed the purse that had been prepared long ago into Qingwu's hand.
Jindian emphasized the pronunciation of the words "particularly important".
"Miss Jindian, I cannot accept the silver. Wait until I inform the prince."
Qingwu retreated repeatedly. He looked at Zhuxin and asked, "Where is Miss Zhuxin?"
Qingwu's eyes moved around Zhuxin's hand. Isn't he usually the one delivering the lunch box?
I don’t know how Aunt Chen came up with so many delicious dishes. Last time it was milk tea, the time before that it was taro balls and tofu pudding, and the time before that it was spicy food. The prince liked it very much.
"Please inform Brother Qingwu that my master also has an important matter to discuss with the prince today." Zhu Xin said with a smile.
Jindian, who was standing by, looked at Zhuxin with eyes that looked as if she wanted to eat her up. She asked, "Could it be that Concubine Chen is about to give birth?"
"Don't talk nonsense and curse my master."
Zhu Xin glared back without showing any weakness. She took a step forward, towering over her by half a head. Zhu Xin said, "Why, your master is allowed to ask the prince for favors every now and then? But my master is not allowed to ask the prince for favors?"
Aunt Hai and Aunt Li, one was singing and the other was dancing, and they were almost fighting.
Their master has never taken the initiative to invite the prince.
"My master really has something important to tell you." Jin Dian said with a serious face. The two men were getting closer and closer, and it looked like they were about to fight.
After a while, Qingwu came out and said, "Miss Jindian, the prince has something to do today, so he won't be going to see Aunt Hai."
There was visible disappointment in Jindian's eyes, and then she looked at Zhuxin. If her master couldn't see the prince, then Aunt Chen wouldn't be able to see him either.
"Miss Zhuxin, the prince asked, are Concubine Chen and the child okay?" Qingwu asked.
"The master and the child are fine, but the master said that if the prince has anything to do, he will order me to give this to the prince." Zhu Xin took out a large purse from her arms and handed it forward.
"Yes, I will definitely give it to the prince." Qingwu took the thing, turned around and went in.
When Jindian returned to Yiheyuan, Hai Jiaren asked, "How is it? Did the prince agree to come over in the evening?" After thinking about it, she still wanted to tell the prince about her pregnancy.
Jindian shook his head and said, "The prince has something to do today."
Hai Jiaren grabbed her hand and frowned, "Didn't you tell the prince that I have something important to tell you?"
"Yes."
Jindian felt pain from being grabbed, and she immediately told Zhuxin about how she had been turned away. She said, "The prince must really have something to do, otherwise, why didn't he even go to see Concubine Shen?"
"Humph, vixen, you're already pregnant and you're still giving me gifts!"
Hai Jiaren said unhappily, "Since the prince is busy, the same will apply tomorrow."
In Youlan Courtyard, when Shen Lingshu learned that Hai Jiaren had also sent someone to invite the prince, she raised an eyebrow, but was not surprised. She said, "Have they handed the things over?"
"Yes, the prince must have something to do, otherwise he would definitely come to see the master." Zhu Xin comforted.
"Um."
Shen Lingshu smiled. According to the script, the prince should go out to investigate the case of deposing the prince, and he will be injured. The emperor is concerned about the relationship between father and son, and he does not want to see brothers fighting each other. The prince... will be reinstated soon.
I hope the prince can take the things she gave him.
In the study, Chu Cong was preparing things for a long journey. When he saw the sleeve arrow that Qing Wu brought, Chu Cong asked, "Is this from Aunt Chen?"
"Yes, Miss Zhuxin gave it to me personally, saying that Concubine Chen made it especially for you." Qing Wu nodded affirmatively. Looking at the sleeve arrow, he couldn't help but say, "I'm afraid Concubine Chen doesn't understand the master's skills, otherwise..."
This girl only uses the sleeve arrow...
Before he finished speaking, he saw Chu Cong stroking his sleeve arrow. Qing Wu changed the subject and said, "Auntie Chen is also worried about the prince."
"Go tell Aunt Shen that I'm on a business trip and won't be back for at least a month. Ask her to take good care of herself." Chu Cong looked at the exquisite sleeve arrow, thinking of Shen Lingshu's kindness, and put it away.
Qingwu responded and ran to Youlan Courtyard.
"Your Majesty, the luggage has been packed."
Concubine Fang came over with the prince's clothes and said, "Don't worry, your majesty, I will definitely take good care of the mansion and take good care of Aunt Shen and the child in her belly."
"Yes." Chu Cong responded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Concubine."
"These are what I should do. Your Highness, it's hard for you to go out, so you must be careful about everything." Concubine Fang's gentle voice was filled with worry.
"Don't worry, I'm just going there to investigate a case, not to fight." Chu Cong replied and left with his things.
Concubine Fang left the study, silently calculating in her mind. According to the amount of luggage, the prince would be away for at least a month this time. Her eyes flickered slightly: "Cao Lu, where did Qing Wu go just now?"
"Youlan Courtyard." Cao Lu had already found out the whereabouts early on.
"Let's go to Yiheyuan."
Concubine Fang went straight to Yiheyuan. She knew everything about the invitation at the study door just now.
"The king...concubine."
Hai Jiaren heard the noise outside and thought it was the prince who had returned. When she saw the concubine, she couldn't hide the disappointment in her eyes. She greeted him, "Greetings, concubine."
"No need to be polite."
Concubine Fang sat down and said, "I just heard that you have something important to discuss with the prince. What difficulties have you encountered? The prince is out of the palace on business. You can talk to me about the affairs in the palace."
"Is the prince on a business trip? How long will it take for him to come back?" Hai Jiaren asked anxiously. Wouldn't this business trip take quite a while?
"At least ten days or half a month. Aunt Hai, if you have anything to say, please tell me and I will take care of it for you." Concubine Fang said with a smile.
Hai Jiaren: "..." She didn't dare to say it. Who knew if Concubine Fang would be jealous if she knew she was pregnant?
Concubine Fang waited for a long time but she didn't respond, so she stood up and said, "Okay, since everything is fine, then just stay here and relax."
When leaving, Cao Lu deliberately trotted over and said, "Concubine, Qing Wu just went to Youlan Courtyard. I guess the prince was worried about going on a long trip, so he specially told Aunt Chen."
"Well, Aunt Shen is pregnant, so it's only right to tell her."
Concubine Fang's voice gradually faded away. Hai Jiaren clenched her hands tightly, her eyes full of unwillingness: She is also pregnant, why didn't the prince tell her?
