Now the Xishan Arsenal is going to be operated for a long time, so the outer wall, the observation tower, the inner arsenal, etc. are all under construction. The environment is really not good and dusty.
Yan Shiyue always thought that the Fourth Prince was very hardworking, but seeing that the Fifth Prince, like a nagging child, actually led by example, not only made cannons, he even often went to check on the construction of houses, and was much more concerned about it than she was.
What kind of feeling does it give people... It's as if he is treating this mission with trepidation, afraid that something might go wrong.
Yan Shiyue felt pity for the Fifth Prince. In the past, he always smiled when he saw him, so he thought he was a smiling tiger, but he didn't expect that he was a smiling cat.
She advised him: "You really don't have to go every day. Just go every three or five days, and they won't dare to be lazy."
The fifth prince smiled and said, "I'm fine anyway, so I'll go out for a walk to feel more at ease."
Well, she could charge and build cannons, but she wouldn't build a house and get covered in dirt, so she started to slack off, strolling to her young marquis every day to watch them train their troops and deploy their formations.
A few days later was Meng Min's birthday. Yan Shiyue was busy for two days and asked a craftsman to make a few stethoscopes that could be used to listen to the fetal heart rate, preparing to take them back to make Meng Min happy.
I came out to talk to the fifth prince, and when I asked, I found out that he was in the courtyard.
As soon as she went over, Xia Bei came out to greet her. She asked, "Where is Brother Xiaowu?"
...
...
Xia Bei bent over, smiling, "My master is in the room!"
She said casually: "He didn't go out today?"
Xia Bei hesitated for a moment: "Well, today, our grandfather felt a little unwell today, so he didn't go out."
Yan Shiyue didn't care and went in. The fifth prince stood up with a smile: "Yuer."
Yan Shiyue said to him: "I will go back in the afternoon, will you come back?"
The fifth prince smiled and said, "Are you going back to celebrate Auntie's birthday? I won't go." He took out a box and said, "This is a little gift from me. Yue'er, please deliver it on my behalf."
Yan Shiyue really admired his thoughtfulness. The two of them had not gone down since they came up. This was probably prepared in advance. He was much more thoughtful than her as a daughter. After all, she only thought of giving a gift the day before yesterday.
The fifth prince smiled and said, "Yue'er has been busy for two days. What did she do?"
Yan Shiyue immediately turned on the stethoscope she brought with her: "Come on, let me hear what you are saying in your heart?"
She pushed the mouth against his chest. The Fifth Prince opened his arms and looked at her curiously. Yan Shiyue listened seriously for a long time, then said, "Are you cursing me in your heart?"
The fifth prince had a strange expression on his face: "This thing... can it deceive people?"
Yan Shiyue couldn't stop laughing. The Fifth Prince took it and put it on his ear like her. Then he measured it against her. Perhaps he felt embarrassed, so he raised his voice, "Xia Bei."
Xia Bei came in, and he also listened to his heart and said, "Are you cursing me in your heart?"
Xia Bei was stunned and knelt down immediately: "I dare not."
Yan Shiyue and the fifth prince couldn't help but look at each other.
He was just playing around, but judging by his performance, he was really cursing him in his heart? ?
Yan Shiyue said: "You go out."
Xia Bei didn't dare to argue with her, so he went out. Yan Shiyue asked, "You didn't go out all day today?"
The fifth prince nodded and said, "The west side was almost finished yesterday, and only the plastering was left. I didn't go there. I looked at the blueprints in the room."
But Xia Bei's tone and attitude seemed to imply to her that the Fifth Prince would not go out because she was not there, as if the Fifth Prince was always pretending.
Yan Shiyue said, "You are not a very good eunuch!"
The Fifth Prince coughed and said nothing. Yan Shiyue said directly: "How about when I go back, I will bring him back to my mother and then ask for another one for you?"
"Don't!" The fifth prince looked outside and said softly, "No need."
"Why?" She was puzzled. "If the person accompanying you is not your own, how miserable it would be? I wouldn't even be able to sleep peacefully."
The fifth prince was silent for a moment: "He doesn't dare to kill me anyway."
"But it's really annoying when you use some dirty tricks for no reason!"
The fifth prince said helplessly: "Yuer, things in the palace are not black and white. I know you mean well, but..."
He hesitated for a moment, but still spoke from the bottom of his heart: "First, you have a good relationship with the fourth brother, so there is no need for you to offend the virtuous concubine for me. Second," he paused, "I am a powerless person. Even if I come again, I may not be clean. Even if I come clean, I don't know when I will betray you. So, why bother."
He was naturally handsome, with a pair of clear black and white eyes, and he looked at her like this: "Now Yue'er knows that he is not right. When you listen to him again, you will think more carefully. This is my blessing."
Yan Shiyue really didn't expect that a prince could live such a humble life. This little guy is really pitiful!
After Yan Shiyue returned, he went back to the palace to deliver the stethoscope and told the queen about it.
The queen laughed and said, "Wulang has been showing weakness since he was young. Don't be fooled by him." She paused and said, "But Concubine Xian's hand is too long."
She directly picked a young eunuch named Wang Bao, replaced Xia Bei with his right hand, and sent him directly to Concubine Xian.
The queen had no ill intentions. She was doing this for herself, and secondly, she was also sending a message to others that there would be benefits to following her daughter.
In the harem, this kind of method is very common. Even if there is no reason, there are many people who are willing to do it just to give someone a slap in the face.
In fact, for the Fifth Prince, this is equivalent to replacing the people of the virtuous concubine around him with the Queen's people.
But the good thing is that the Fifth Prince originally wanted to cling to Yan Shiyue's thighs, and the Queen is much more generous than the Concubine Xian, and she will not disgust you for no reason. So this way, it is much better for him.
But to others, it was just Yan Shiyue being willful again.
For the sake of the Fifth Prince, she had damaged the Fourth Prince's reputation. Before, she and the Fourth Prince had a very good relationship! Didn't they just turn against each other?
This person is indeed unpredictable and must be kept at a distance.
Yan Shiyue didn't think much about it. After she told the queen, she returned home.
Meng Min has been pregnant for more than seven months. The fetal heartbeat can be clearly heard through the stethoscope, and the two of them played with it for a while.
Although the next day was Meng Min's birthday, the whole family just had a meal together and there was no big celebration.
Yan Shiyue got up the next day and was about to pack up and go back to Xishan when she saw Ding Xiaoyan rushing over: "Master! Master! It's bad! Someone found anti-government poems on Mr. Xu's case! They've reported it to the emperor!"
Yan Shiyue was surprised: "What?"
"Anti-poem!" Ding Xiaoyan said, "It is said that Mr. Xu will be imprisoned!"
Yan Shiyue didn't have time to think about it, and quickly changed into court clothes and entered the palace.
