Chapter 204 Be careful when giving birth to a child. Burn after reading.
"Absolutely not!"
"Ouyang Rui mentioned this before and asked me if I still liked Lu Jingyu. I told him that I didn't like him anymore, but I don't know if he believed me or not."
Gu Qingning: "Oh, then he really cares about you. It's okay not to let Jingyu go to help. You can replace him with someone you are familiar with."
Princess Jiamin hesitated: "Let me think about it again."
Gu Qingning did not continue to ask, after all, this was Princess Jiamin's own business.
And they were not the ones who reacted the most to Concubine Chen’s entry into the palace.
The one who reacted the most was Concubine Su.
The last set of white marble porcelain bowls in Yikun Palace were smashed to pieces with a wave of her sleeves!
"Is Qin Chi crazy? He actually took his daughter-in-law as his concubine?"
Sun Jiufeng hurriedly said, "My queen, please be careful with your words. You cannot call His Majesty by his name!"
Concubine Su: "Why can't I say it? He has the nerve to do it! What is the daughter of the Chen family's side branch? How can a daughter of a side branch look exactly like Chen Ya!"
"I wonder if General Chen knows about this. If he knew, he would still dare to claim that his Chen family has been loyal to him for generations. Where would he put his face?"
Concubine Su was so angry that she felt dizzy.
Sun Jiufeng quickly helped her sit down.
"Don't be angry, madam. Regardless of whether she is Miss Chen or not, this person has already entered the palace and her position is still behind you, and she cannot surpass you."
"The point is, His Majesty has also agreed today to release the Third Prince from confinement."
"My queen, right now we are not fighting for this reputation, fighting for that position is the most important thing."
Concubine Su took a few deep breaths and tried to calm herself down.
"You're right. Right now, that Concubine Chen is nothing."
"But Concubine Rou and Concubine Jin are not up to the task at all. They are indifferent to Concubine Chen's entry into the palace. They are really a bunch of fools!"
She was still counting on these people to torment Chen Fei and the others.
Sun Jiufeng said in a low voice: "I heard that Concubine Rou is preparing clothes and toys for Gu's child. She must be looking forward to the child born by her adopted daughter."
Concubine Su sneered, "She was so stupid but she was lucky. She got lucky unexpectedly. After all, that child is her grandson."
She thought of something and a vicious look flashed across her face.
"It's really annoying to see their family reunited! By the way, didn't the Ninth Prince say that he had planted a very useful nail in the Duke's Mansion? It's time to put it to use!"
"yes."
Soon, the Ninth Prince received the news sent by Concubine Su, and he sneered.
"If you don't seek great things, but just think about being jealous all day long, it is destined that Concubine Su and her son will never be able to take over this world."
Qiu Shui: "My Lord, do you still want us to move the nails in the Duke's Mansion?"
The Ninth Prince: "Of course we have to do it. If it works, it can be used as leverage against Concubine Su. If it fails, Concubine Su will be punished."
Then, he frowned, "It's a pity that her child was born more than two months early. Didn't she receive medicine at that time to allow her to give birth later?"
Qiu Shui immediately knelt down and said, "It's my fault that I didn't handle this matter well!"
The Ninth Prince waved his hand, "It's not your fault. After all, you can't give birth to a stillborn baby, it would be even more useless."
"Just do as Concubine Su and the others said, and find a child whose parents are not good enough. As for Lu Jingyu's child, just throw him into the wilderness."
None of this has anything to do with him. It's just that Concubine Su is too cruel.
From now on, even if Lu Jingyu knew the truth, he would only blame Concubine Su!
Qiu Shui cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I will arrange it right away."
After a while, the servant outside reported that Lord Cen had arrived.
When Qiu Shui walked out of the house, he happened to see Cen Jue.
Qiu Shui bowed and said, "Greetings, Master Xiao Cen."
Cen Jue nodded. He watched Qiu Shui hurried out the door, then turned around and entered the inner room.
"Your Highness, the Third Prince has been released, and the imperial guards surrounding the Prince's Palace have been withdrawn."
The Ninth Prince frowned, "Could it be that the Third Prince has recovered? Didn't they say that he has become a cripple?"
Cen Jue: "I have sent people to check on his physical condition, and we will have accurate information soon."
If the third prince is really impotent, they can focus their attention on deposing the sixth prince first.
Because everything was under control, the Ninth Prince smiled warmly at Cen Jue.
"Ajue, you can call me brother-in-law in private. You have done a great job during this period. And I am sorry that you have to marry that domineering princess from Southern Xinjiang."
"It is Cen Jue's blessing to be able to help my brother-in-law achieve great things!"
The Ninth Prince nodded, and seemed to be looking at another person through Cen Jue's face.
"If your sister knew that you were so successful, she would definitely be very pleased in heaven."
Cen Jue clenched his hands in his sleeves.
The Ninth Prince: "You continue to have people keep an eye on the Sixth Prince's staff and catch their mistakes. I will slowly shave off the Sixth Prince's minions."
Cen Jue: “Yes.”
The two of them spied on him for a while longer, and seeing that the Ninth Prince was tired, Cen Jue bowed and left.
After coming out of the Ninth Prince's Palace, Cen Jue had the carriage circle around the street before returning to the Princess's Palace.
He had already married Nalan Zhu'er and moved into the princess's mansion.
Although Nalan Zhu'er was married, she couldn't control her temper. When she saw Cen Jue coming back, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Ajue, you're back? Why are you back later than usual today?"
Cen Jue's eyebrows curved slightly, "I have to go to some colleagues' homes for social events these days, and I will take a day off in two days. I will stay at home with you."
"Don't stay at home, let's go to the countryside for a spring outing, okay?"
"good."
Seeing that Cen Jue agreed to her, Nalan Zhuer was very happy.
After the wedding, it was the Chinese New Year, and then the envoys from Southern Xinjiang all went back. She was alone in the capital of Great Chu, feeling very lonely.
Fortunately, Cen Jue is going to take a day off.
Cen Jue couldn't bear to see her life being restricted.
"You don't have to stay in the princess's mansion all the time. You can go find some good friends to hang out with."
Nalan Zhuer sighed, "I don't have many good friends. Qing Ning is about to give birth, so she probably won't be able to come out. And I don't know what Jia Min is busy with recently. She's like a dragon that's hard to find."
Cen Jue listened patiently to Nalan Zhuer's chattering.
Suddenly, I inexplicably remembered what I had just heard the Ninth Prince say to Qiu Shui.
They spoke in low voices, so most of it went unheard.
But I heard two words.
Duke's Mansion! Child!
Cen Jue said casually, "Since you are good friends with Princess Zhaoning, and she is about to give birth, if you are bored at home, go visit her. It's not good to go empty-handed, I will help you choose a gift from the storeroom."
Nalan Zhuer frowned, "Although I want to visit Qing Ning, every time I see Lu Jingyu, I want to whip him."
Cen Jue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Is it because Lu Jingyu always led his troops to attack your Southern Xinjiang? But now our Great Chu and Southern Xinjiang have reached peace, so you don't have to bear a grudge against Lu Jingyu anymore."
"Didn't you also say that Princess Zhaoning is your second favorite person in Da Chu?"
Nalan Zhuer thought about it and finally nodded.
When Cen Jue was choosing a gift for Nalan Zhuer, he quietly added a note.
The next day, after Cen Jue went to work, Nalan Zhu'er happily went to the Duke's Mansion with people and gifts.
Upon learning that Lu Jingyu was on leave at home, Nalan Zhuer's face changed on the spot.
Gu Qingning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's okay, he wants to read in the front yard, and we two can talk in the backyard so as not to disturb each other."
Nalan Zhu'er: "Then you have to eat with me at noon, not with him!"
Gu Qingning: "Okay, okay."
She asked Chen Fenfang to go to the front yard to inform Lu Jingyu.
Don’t come to the backyard this morning, and let him take care of his lunch by himself.
The young master finally took a day off and planned to spend some time with his wife: "..."
Gu Qingning wanted to ask Nalan Zhuer something about Cen Jue.
"After you and Cen Jue got married, did you have close contact with the Cen family?"
Nalan Zhu'er tilted her head and said, "We only met once when we got married, and then during the Chinese New Year. We hardly interacted with each other at other times."
"Cen Jue didn't have a good life at home before, and I don't like the Cen family anyway."
Gu Qingning: "He's not very close to the Cen family?"
Nalan Zhuer: "Yes, the Cen family treated Cen Jue badly, and he didn't want to bother with them."
"Cen Jue has a very good relationship with his eldest sister. There is a big age difference between them. He said that if his eldest sister hadn't protected him all those years, he might not be alive today."
"It's a pity that his elder sister was in poor health and passed away early. Oh, by the way, his elder sister is the late Ninth Princess."
"The Ninth Prince is also infatuated. He has not remarried for so many years."
"However, I feel that the relationship between the Ninth Prince and his aide named Qiu Shui is somewhat ambiguous."
Gu Qingning: "..."
Nalan Zhu'er is so easy to find out about.
She only said a few words to start the conversation, but the other party told her everything.
Finally, tired of talking, Nalan Zhuer picked up the teacup and finished the bowl of tea.
Then his eyes fell on Gu Qingning's belly.
She asked curiously, "Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?"
Gu Qingning smiled and said, "We can only confirm that it is a single baby, but we don't know whether it is a boy or a girl yet."
Nalan Zhu'er: "I like girls! If you give birth to a girl, I will be her master and teach her how to whip people!"
Granny Liao next to her changed her expression instantly.
They all hope that their master will give birth to a boy.
Then he must be the eldest son of the first branch of the Duke's Mansion, which would make Cuiwei Pavilion quieter.
How can you say it's a girl?
Gu Qingning signaled to Granny Liao that she was alright. She smiled gently and said, "I like girls, too."
In the afternoon, when Cen Jue was about to get off work, Nalan Zhuer left.
After learning that she had left, Lu Jingyu immediately went to the backyard with a slightly gloomy face.
"What is Nalan Zhu'er doing here?"
Gu Qingning smiled, "She just got bored staying in the princess's mansion and came to chat with me. She doesn't know anyone else."
Lu Jingyu still didn’t quite understand.
Qing Ning has such a good personality, yet she can get along well with Nalan Zhu'er and Princess Jiamin.
In the end, he felt that Qing Ning must be too kind and too tolerant of those two.
Just at this moment, Chen Fenfang knocked on the door and came in, her expression solemn.
"Masters, I saw this note among the gifts brought by Princess Nalan."
Gu Qingning: "Did anyone else see it?"
Chen Fenfang: "No, I put it in my sleeve immediately after I found it, and no one else noticed."
Lu Jingyu took the note, which read:
'Be careful when giving birth to a child, burn it after reading.'
