Chapter 389 Yixiu 7
After finishing off the people, Yinzhen wanted to say goodbye. Rouze knew what he was thinking at a glance and quickly pulled Yinzhen's sleeve while sitting down.
Just as Yinzhen was about to speak, he glanced at Rouze in confusion when he overheard Concubine De's caring words: "Concubine, how is Honghui's health? Is he alright?"
Only then did he remember that the reason why Concubine De asked them to enter the palace today was because of Honghui, so he lowered his head and picked up the tea.
Yixiu ignored the lawsuit and stood up, her smile a little forced. "I had a high fever before, and although I'm fine now, I still need to take good care of myself. The imperial physician said I shouldn't overwork myself. I'll be fine after I'm eight years old."
"It's not difficult to raise a child well in a family like ours. As the saying goes, after bad times come good times. Who knows, he might be healthy again after this illness. Don't worry too much and don't exhaust yourself."
De Fei held her hand and spoke words of comfort sincerely. After all, this was her own son and niece, and the one who was ill was her own grandson. Even if she had a mediocre relationship with this son, she felt a little distressed when she saw Yi Xiu's haggard face.
Not to mention that she did not feel completely indebted to Yixiu.
Alas...it's all bad fate.
De Fei offered a few more words of concern, but seeing the atmosphere gradually becoming awkward, Rou Ze hurriedly said with a smile, "I also hope that Hong Hui will get better and keep my child company. Together, the two of us can respect and love each other like my sister and I do, and support each other."
"Okay, okay, this is the best. Brothers in the family should support each other."
Concubine De smiled and nodded repeatedly, then continued, "You two still have a few children; the Emperor would be pleased if you had more. This year, the Emperor specifically asked me to pick out Li and Geng for you; they're both good children. As for those old friends, don't neglect them."
After he finished speaking, Yinzhen and Rouze's expressions became strange.
Yixiu covered her mouth with a handkerchief to prevent herself from laughing. "A brother, a favor," that was a good topic. Yixiu remained silent upon hearing it.
"Mother is right, and I understand."
After all, a daughter-in-law should bow her head and cannot imitate Yinzhen and pretend not to hear. Rouze could only force a smile and agree, and she had to quickly reflect on her previous work and her failure to serve her husband well and manage the backyard.
As a result, Yinzhen was unhappy again because he was the one who favored Rouze the most. What could the kind and simple Rouze do?
The tone of her voice hardened as she spoke: "The Concubine is not used to worrying about things during her pregnancy, and my son has his own things to do every day. If they are sensible, they should learn from the Concubine and be obedient. As for having children, I'm afraid it's not my son's destiny, so there's no rush."
After saying this, he stood up and bowed: "My son has some important business outside. I will come back to pay my respects to you in two days."
De Fei opened her mouth, but finally said, "Oh... go ahead, business is more important."
Rouze was pulled away by Yinzhen, and Yixiu naturally followed them. She bowed to Defei calmly. When she heard her say "I'm sorry for wronging you", she didn't react at all, but said calmly: "I have Honghui, so I don't feel wronged."
"You have become much smarter. I hope you can continue to be this smart."
Yixiu did not answer this question, but just bowed and walked out unsteadily with the support of Randong.
Yinzhen naturally would not wait for her, and Rouze was probably busy comforting her poor lover, so naturally she could not care about her adopted sister.
Fortunately, Yixiu didn't care about them and walked slowly. When they arrived at the place, they saw a pair of hands in the carriage lifting the curtain, revealing Yinzhen's impatient expression: "Why are you so slow?"
When he saw Yixiu's bloodless smile, he paused again, but after a moment he still extended his hand.
Naturally, she would not avoid the person who offered it to her, and she followed the other party's force to sit in the car. Yixiu did not forget to smile at Yinzhen.
"Sister, why are you so slow? But Empress Defei still has instructions?"
Yixiu glanced at Yinzhen, who had withdrawn his hand, her smile unchanged. "I'm not feeling well during my illness. Even with Randong supporting me, I couldn't even keep up with Prince and Sister. Perhaps I'm too weak."
"How are you feeling, sister? You seem fine after all this journey. I'm afraid you might be trying too hard, as that might make Lord Beile worried."
Yinzhen followed Yixiu's words and felt that Rouze looked a little better. He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart for a moment, so he just closed his eyes and said nothing.
Rouze noticed that her husband was unhappy, but she didn't know the reason. Thinking of the instructions given by Concubine De today, she felt annoyed and calmed down.
The atmosphere in the car was strange, but Yixiu only felt quiet.
By the time they arrived at the Prince's Mansion, Rouze's face, which had finally turned red, was turning pale again. Yixiu was impatient to continue blocking the two of them and watching them being so affectionate, so she leaned on Randong and said in a voice even weaker than Rouze's:
"My Lord, I can't hold on any longer. I'll take my leave now..."
"Rest well," Yinzhen sighed, and then instructed Randong: "Take good care of your master. If she feels unwell when you return, call the doctor in the palace to see her immediately."
"yes."
Ran Dong's face was filled with just the right amount of anxiety as he hurriedly supported Yi Xiu. Only after they stepped into their yard did Yi Xiu straighten up with a smile and said to Ran Dong, "Let's go get the doctor. You've worked so hard today. I'll give you half a day off tomorrow so we can both have a good rest."
Just at this moment Jianqiu came out and welcomed her in, and the master and servants happily discussed tonight's food.
For dinner, Yixiu ordered the kitchen to serve yesterday's fish soup, and made fresh river shrimp into boiled shrimps, mixed with shredded chicken and jellyfish. The main course was lotus-flavored eight-treasure gourd duck, and the rest of the miscellaneous side dishes were placed on the table, which filled the mother and son's stomachs.
"Alas...you should eat dinner in moderation," Yixiu sighed as she touched her son's round belly.
Before Honghui could promise her that he would not be greedy next time, Yixiu said, "But it's not too much to indulge once in a while."
"Um!"
Honghui smiled and nodded vigorously, then held the hand his mother handed to him.
"Let's go take a walk in the yard with Mother to help digest the food."
