Chapter 701 Aci
It’s not the doorman’s fault for not passing on the message or stopping it, but it’s just that he is too familiar with it.
And no one dared to stop it.
The one who came was Liu Jian.
Prince Liu Jian, dressed in a half-worn and inconspicuous cotton blue robe, dressed like an ordinary scholar, walked in with a little girl about seven or eight years old, who had two buns on her head and wore a small flowered jacket.
The "little girl" had delicate eyebrows and eyes, but she pursed her lips, looking a little inexplicably awkward.
If it were someone else, they might not see that there was anything wrong.
However, Xiao Yan, Jiang Xuan and Doctor Hu all recognized at a glance that the "little girl" in front of them was none other than King Jin Liu Yu.
This scene made everyone in the originally anxious yard stunned.
Xiao Yan glanced at the two people's attire, especially the Prince of Jin who was dressed as a woman. He frowned almost imperceptibly and immediately understood in his heart - this must be the prince taking his brother to "experience" the suffering of the people again.
I just didn't expect that they would come here at this critical juncture.
He couldn't help but snort in his heart. He was well-informed, which showed that he had never relaxed his attention on the Marquis' Mansion.
Thinking of how San Ya had been burdened by him, and how much hardship she had endured in the northwest, and how she had to hide her pregnancy, Xiao Yan could no longer suppress his resentment towards Liu Jian. His tone also took on a subtle coldness, and he simply bowed politely: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Prince of Jin."
Liu Jian seemed unaware of Xiao Yan's indifference. His attention seemed completely attracted by the suppressed moans of pain faintly coming from the delivery room. His face was even paler than Jiang Xuan's.
His voice was a little dry as he explained, "My Lord, we... just came back from the dock. We heard that Madam Jiang was about to give birth, so we came to see her."
He paused, his eyes still uncontrollably glancing towards the delivery room, and his voice lowered, "... Is childbirth really this... difficult for women?"
He sounded like he was asking Xiao Yan, but more like he was muttering to himself.
Xiao Yan looked at his pale face and the shock and pain hidden in his eyes. Suddenly, his heart moved and an idea flashed through his mind -
At his age and with such status, why did he choose this time to come and "feel" the pain of a woman giving birth?
Unless... he knew too.
I learned that San Ya was pregnant and was about to give birth.
Yes, with his scheming and means, how could he not know?
San Ya thought she had kept the secret perfectly, but the little fox must have gotten the news long ago.
He was just cooperating with San Ya and pretending to be unaware.
In fact, Xiao Yan was almost certain that Liu Jian had definitely placed people around Jiaojiao, who, like him, were protecting her in secret and helping to cover up the news tacitly.
Otherwise, how could it be possible that no news had leaked out until now when the Queen was also keeping a close eye on the northwest?
Xiao Yan actually realized something was wrong when San Ya suddenly left.
He vaguely felt that something must have happened, so he wrote her several letters.
He also said that if San Ya didn't tell the truth, he would chase her to Changzhou.
Then San Ya confessed to him.
San Ya also hesitated and struggled about whether to keep this child.
Because this is a royal heir, no matter how he is dealt with, there seems to be hidden dangers in the future.
Xiao Yan wrote back to tell her that she didn't need to worry about any royal heirs, it just depended on whether she wanted it or not.
San Ya wants to keep the child.
Because this child came too suddenly.
When she was full of regret for the death of her biological mother.
She couldn't help but wonder if it was her biological mother who had reincarnated to find her.
So in the end, she decided to stay.
To be honest, if San Ya hadn't explained the whole story, and even said that Liu Jian might know nothing about it, Xiao Yan really would have gone to settle the score with Liu Jian.
Even if he is the prince.
However, Xiao Yan didn't believe that Liu Jian knew nothing.
As a man, it is impossible for him not to know what he has done.
What happened today further confirmed that Liu Jian knew everything.
Thinking that San Ya was due to give birth in two months, and that she was probably in the northwest pretending to have broken her leg, keeping the door closed, and struggling to hide her increasingly heavy body, Xiao Yan's heart ached as if it were being pricked by needles.
He just wanted to go see San Ya.
Liu Jian stood there, and his fingertips curled up every time a suppressed cry of pain came from the delivery room.
He came here not so much to visit Daya as to want to experience the pain that Sanya was about to go through across thousands of mountains and rivers.
He couldn't be with her, so he could only know what she was going through here, in this way.
He had actually thought about finding an excuse to go to the northwest.
But he finally convinced himself.
——The Queen Mother is so smart.
Any negligence on his part could push San Ya into an irretrievable situation.
Liu Jian had something on his mind, so he could wait here.
But Liu Yu was getting a little impatient.
"Brother, the show is about to start, and I have to hurry back to sell fruit!"
Recently, Liu Jian took him to sell fruits in the theater.
I originally wanted him to experience the sufferings of the world, but this kid turned out to be so happy.
Although he had some objections to men dressing up as women, he later found out that it was easier to make money, so he didn't say anything.
If you make money, you can buy food.
During the seven years that the Queen personally raised him, he was prudent, respectful and well-behaved as a young boy. However, after Liu Jian had been raising him for half a year, he had become very wild.
Liu Yu didn't feel at all that coming out would be a hardship, which made Liu Jian doubt his life.
Others: “…”
Only Si Ya said softly, "Sister, let me play with you."
When there are guests at home, she also has to help entertain them.
"He's not as old as you." Xiao Yan said.
"Oh, it's my sister." Si Ya smiled, "Then I'll play with my sister."
Although she is very anxious now, she cannot lose her hospitality.
The reason why she subconsciously thought Liu Yu was her elder sister was because Liu Yu was taller.
"I won't go." Liu Yu shook his head and urged Liu Jian, "Brother——"
"Just stay still." Liu Jian cursed.
Liu Yu didn't dare to speak.
He was really afraid of his brother.
Seeing this, Si Ya ordered her maid to go to her room and get a large box of small toys, and then took Liu Yu to the next room to play.
Liu Yu originally expressed no interest, but when he saw those toys, he began to curse the Imperial Household Department in his heart.
——Why has he never seen these good things?
Then Liu Yu went out to play happily.
Seeing Si Ya standing in the yard, he opened the window and called her to come, "My pretty sister, come too."
Si Ya smiled and shook her head.
She just wanted to wait for her elder sister at this moment.
Liu Yu started playing with those ingenious little toys at the table.
The crowd waited from dawn to dusk, and from dusk until the first light in the east came.
Daya and Jiang Xuan's eldest daughter, Jiang Jie, who would later become famous in the capital, was finally born in the morning glow.
Xiao Yan named her Jiang Jie, and Jiang Xuan gave her the nickname "Aci".
This small character became widely known because of a poem that was later praised by someone.
Ice glaze tempers jade bones,
The kiln fire refines the essence of wisdom.
The hairpin snow is stunning.
The news moved the five marquises.
