Chapter 256 Not That Advanced
Crown Prince Liu Jian glanced at the woman, only to find she was also peeking at him—how bold! Her expression didn't reveal anything, but considering what the imperial physician had said, it seemed she had indeed forgotten the details of the incantation technique.
Soon, he was more and more impressed by this woman.
Thus ended the Royal Hunt.
After returning home, Xia heard that her sister-in-law had fainted in the paddock and was bleeding from the nose. She was very worried and killed an old hen and stewed astragalus for her to nourish her.
For the next two days, the entire imperial capital was talking about the capture of Wanzhou. This had never happened since the establishment of Dacong. For a while, the people were a little panicked.
On the other hand, except for the day when Xie Jian was summoned by the enemy after returning from hunting, there was nothing unusual in the following few days, and everything was very peaceful.
That day, Chen Heng found a copy of "History of Northern Qi" in Xie Jian's study. She opened it and took a look. It recorded everything from how Northern Qi was founded to the several emperors it had, and so on. Everything was written in detail.
"Northern Qi?" Wasn't it Northern Qi that was at war with Da Cong? And what about the spy incident last time? Chen Heng was puzzled: "Why would he read Northern Qi's history? To know himself and the enemy? He doesn't even care about his current position."
I heard Xia Madam outside saying, "Madam is back? Why are there so many things?"
"The princess was pleased and gave some silk and cakes as a reward." Nanny Feng said with a smile, "The cakes are still hot. Come and eat with Madam Shen."
Sometimes, when Princess Ning was bored, she would send someone over to sit with Nanny Feng, and every time she came back, she would bring back some goodies.
When Shen Heng entered the hall, Nanny Feng was talking to Xia about Liu Zhiyue.
"The letter from the legitimate daughter has returned, and everything is fine. She's taken charge of the Si household's affairs, and the maids and servants are starting to obey her. Young Master Si is also taking great care of her." Nanny Feng smiled and said, "She's really fine."
"You personally raised the legitimate daughter, and she's very good at dealing with people. I guess she had trouble adapting to it before." Xia said, "It's normal for a woman to have trouble adapting to her husband's family for a while after marrying into one's family."
Nanny Feng nodded and said, "The young lady is getting worse. I hope she can give birth safely and have a boy. I'll go to the temple in a couple of days to draw a lucky divination stick for her."
Seeing her sister-in-law come in, Xia said, "Let's go together with Madam, and get one for Ah Heng as well. She hasn't been feeling well lately and has headaches all the time."
When Shen Heng saw the cakes on the table, she felt hungry: "Sister-in-law, Mammy, let me eat with you." She had a headache twice, which must have been caused by someone, so she prayed for peace.
"By the way," Madam Feng pushed the cakes in front of her towards Shen Heng, "Madam Shen, if any lady asks you out these days, please turn them down."
"Did something happen?" Shen Heng was surprised.
Nanny Feng asked Ah Chan and Zhenzhu to get off the bed first, then she said softly, "There's a funeral going on in the palace, so no one outside knows about it. But if anyone laughs or talks joyfully at this time, it will inevitably upset the palace residents."
"A funeral in the palace? Who is it?" Xia was stunned. "Such a big thing, how come there is no news?"
Chen Heng was also puzzled. For someone to be able to hold a funeral in the palace, his status and position must be very high, yet there was no noise at all.
"I don't know either. Let's ask Mr. Xie tonight. He must know." The princess only said that there was a white couplet hanging in the Queen's Palace. She didn't dare to guess who could make the queen mother do such a thing. Nanny Feng couldn't think of it for a moment.
Xie Jian came back quite early tonight. As soon as he got home, he saw his sister-in-law, A'heng, and Nanny Feng waiting for him in the kitchen.
