Chapter 217 Even the dog has an extra bone
"Uncle housekeeper, could you please check and see if they missed it, or... lost it when they brought it here? Or... forgot to write it down on the list?"
"This Zhan Prince's Mansion... no, it's now the Regent Prince's Mansion. Everyone in this Regent Prince's Mansion received rewards. The prince, Ruo'er, Ruo'er's unborn child, Cen Nan and Cen Bei received promotions, Bi'er was appointed a female official, the servants received an extra month's salary, and even Uncle Zhang's guard dog received an extra bone. Why am I the only one who got nothing?"
"Could it be that they're counting me as a servant... and giving me an extra month's salary?"
Bu Ruo sat in the rocking chair and rocked: "The moon silver is not yours either."
Jin Congcong: ???!!!
"Ruo'er?"
"Yes, it was me. I told the Emperor not to give you a reward. I did it for your own good. I wanted you to die more slowly."
Jin Congcong stamped his feet anxiously: "Then...then you can't give nothing at all."
"Can you spend it if I give it to you?"
"No."
"Then what's the point of your reward?"
"I can ask the prince to put it up for me first..."
"Look at all the boxes around you. Where's the room for yours?"
“Then…then…”
"Well, hurry up and finish packing up and sweep the floor."
That night, when Jin Congcong finished his work and returned to his yard with a resentful look on his face, he saw Cen Nan waiting there with a box in his arms and a smile on his face.
"Humph, what are you doing here? Are you here to show off, Master Cen?"
"Just learn from Ruo'er. You won't learn anything good. You're so young, but you only know how to show off..."
Cen Nan:? ? ?
Who is showing off on weekdays?
Cen Nan placed the box in his hand on the stone table: "Here, this is what the princess asked me to give you."
Jin Congcong was startled, then hurried over to open the box. "Silver... hair crown... jade pendant, and the jeweled dagger that the emperor gave to the prince today...are all of these for me?"
Cen Nan nodded: "The princess said that all of these are for you. The hair crown and jade pendant are better than the one you wanted last time. The princess also said that the long sword is not suitable for you, but this dagger is suitable for you. Anyway, the prince doesn't need it, so I brought it to you."
"Oh, by the way, the princess also told me to tell you that you can keep all these things yourself. Only the silver still follows the old rules. It must be spent within three days. You can eat and drink, but you can't go to brothels or gambling houses."
Jin Congcong hugged the box tightly in his arms: "Woo woo... I said Ruo'er couldn't possibly not give it to me. I said Ruo'er still thought about me."
Jin Congcong suddenly remembered something when he said this. He rushed into the house with the box, put it away, and then rushed out again: "Cen Nan, wait for me here for a while. I'm in a good mood today. Let's have a drink together. It's my treat."
Cen Nan looked at someone in confusion: "Hey! Where are you going? Why are you running so fast?"
"Well, I saw Uncle Zhang's dog chewing on a bone on my way back. I snatched it away in a rage and hid it in a tree. I'll go get it for him."
Cen Nan:......
Half an hour later, Jin Congcong came back, carrying meat in his hands, holding wine in his arms, and following behind him... a dog.
…
With Xiao Hanfei's succession to the throne and Xiao Yulan's help, the internal troubles of the Great Zhou gradually stabilized. During this period, Bu Ruo's belly grew bigger and bigger, and the entire Regent's Mansion and even the Imperial Palace fell into tension.
"Princess, please don't lie down all the time. Can I help you get up and walk around? Doctor Du said that walking around regularly will help you have a baby in the future."
Bu Ruo rocked in the rocking chair: "Let's go later. I'm a little full from eating and don't feel like moving at all."
Bier had no choice but to take a small stool and sit at Bu Ruo's feet to gently massage her swollen calves. She had specially asked Doctor Du for this. When the prince was around, he would massage her calves, and when he was not around, she would do the massaging.
Bu Ruo looked at the worry in Bi'er's eyes and touched the top of her head: "Don't worry, it's just giving birth to a child. It's okay. Didn't Master's wife also give birth to a little girl smoothly?"
Bi'er's eyes were red. "How can they be the same? The mountain master's wife is having a single baby, and you are having twins. The risk is many times greater. I heard that..."
"Pfft, pfft, pfft, the princess will be fine, the princess will definitely be fine."
Bu Ruo comforted Bi'er while looking out of the yard: "How many months has Bu Yanfu been growing these flowers?"
"It's been more than four months. She started planting it when you were four months pregnant, Princess. Now you're almost nine months pregnant."
Bu Ruo narrowed her eyes and said, "It's been so long. It's really hard for her to be so patient. I'm afraid she won't have an attack until the day I give birth."
Bu Ruo took Bi'er's hand and stood up: "Let's go, let's go for a walk, so that you don't have to worry so much."
As soon as the two of them left the yard, Bu Yanfu came over with an embarrassed look on her face: "Princess...Princess, these flowers have been planted almost completely. You are getting heavier and heavier. I'm afraid Miss Bi'er can't take care of them alone. How about..."
"No need!" Bi'er's face was gloomy. "Don't think that we will believe you just because you haven't done anything in the past few months. Don't be so kind. I'm busy and don't need your help. Just stay away from the princess."
There was hurt in Bu Yanfu's eyes: "Miss Bi'er, I really don't have any other intentions. After all, the princess and I share the same blood. I... I just want to take care of the princess."
"You don't need to take care of it. Go quickly. When you're done planting the flowers, go back to your yard. Don't show up in front of the princess recently. That will be considered as your help."
Bu Ruo patted Bi'er's hand and said, "Don't be too nervous. She and I no longer share the same blood."
When Bu Ruo said that they did not have the same bloodline, she meant it literally. After she recovered some of her memories and most of her divine power, her bloodline was also sublimated, and she became a holy spirit.
But Bu Yanfu thought she meant that their branch had split off from the Bu family tree, and nominally had nothing to do with them by blood.
Bu Ruo didn't explain and continued strolling with Bier.
From that day on, Bu Yanfu stayed obediently in her own yard. It was totally unlike her to be so content. Bu Ruo didn't bother to care about her. What she was really waiting for was the Heavenly Master. Bu Yanfu was just a tool.
Xiao Yulan has been increasingly busy recently. Bu Ruo knew that he had never given up on looking for the Heavenly Master, but Xiao Yulan and the Emperor's men had almost turned the entire Kyoto upside down but still hadn't found any clues.
"Ruo'er, Ruo'er, how are you feeling today? Master and I came to see you."
"Your belly is much bigger than my mother's back then. You're so thin, is it dangerous? What would I do if something happened to you? Then... wouldn't I be buried alive with you?"
Before Bu Ruo could say anything, Bier became anxious.
