Chapter 225 Just Having a Child
Princess Hengyang was very happy today and insisted on dragging Chunxi to drink. Chunxi was about to refuse righteously, but the prince consort took the initiative to say, "I will help keep an eye on the princess. I have also notified Lord Shen to come to the princess's residence after his shift to pick her up. Madam Shen can drink without worry."
"Who do you think you are? How dare you look at this princess?"
Princess Hengyang glanced at Wen Yanshu rudely, then took Chunxi's arm and said, "Good Ah Xi, you've returned safely from the Ghost Gate and have killed so many people today. We must celebrate today. And He'er and Yue'er, you can come too."
Fearing that they would not be able to let go, Princess Hengyang directly drove Wen Yanshu away.
Princess Hengyang was only concerned with her own happiness and didn't care about anyone else at all. After everyone had finished their meal, it was Wen Yanshu who arranged for the servants to see the guests off.
In the evening, Xiao Qinghe and Xiao Qingyue left first.
At first, Xiao Qingyue was trying to restrain herself and didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of Princess Hengyang. Later, she was infected by Chunxi and relaxed. However, she couldn't drink much and was almost carried out by the maids and old women.
"After we get back, ask the kitchen to make some hangover soup. Don't leave Yue'er alone while she bathes. Keep an eye on her. She might get drunk and vomit at night. Keep everyone in the yard alert to avoid any jokes."
Xiao Qinghe gave detailed instructions and waited until Xiao Qingyue's carriage turned the corner before getting on the carriage.
She also drank two more glasses today, but she was not drunk, just a little bit tipsy.
Seeing that the corners of her lips were raised, she looked so happy that she couldn't help asking, "Madam, it's rare for you to be so happy. Why don't you play with the princess and Madam Shen for a while longer?"
"No, let's wait until later."
Xiao Qinghe shook his head.
She is still a wife of the Wei family and cannot be too rebellious. When the divorce is successful in the future, there will be plenty of opportunities to drink with her aunt and the princess.
Then she would indulge herself and get drunk.
Although he didn't have a complete enjoyment, Xiao Qinghe was happy along the way. However, when he returned to the Wei family, he was called to the main courtyard.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, Yun Wantang came up to her and said, "He'er, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I was soft-hearted and believed Shen Qingchi's lies. Did the princess and Madam Shen give you any trouble after I left?"
Yun Wantang's face was full of self-blame and concern, as if no matter what time, she completely ignored herself and put others first.
But if she was really kind, she shouldn't just feel sorry for Shen Qingchi, who was carrying the blood of the Taifu family, and choose such a time to attack her aunt, and she shouldn't deceive herself and go to the princess's house without permission to disrupt the banquet.
Xiao Qinghe had some good feelings towards Yun Wantang before, but after seeing Yun Wantang and Chunxi confronting each other in public today, that good impression was gone.
Yun Wantang, like the Wei family and Wei Lingze, seems fine at first glance, but as they get to know each other better, they will unknowingly be pricked by countless small thorns and bleed.
Xiao Qinghe lowered her eyes, unwilling to answer. Yun Shi smelled a faint scent of alcohol on her and frowned, "Did they force you to drink? Your body hasn't recovered yet, and even the princess can't force you like this."
Yun's words sounded as if she was considering her, but in fact her tone was full of dissatisfaction.
She was unhappy that she was too close to her aunt and Princess Hengyang, and even more unhappy that she was drunk and came back so late.
"Mother," Xiao Qinghe said, looking up at Yun Shi, "No one forced me to drink. I wanted to drink. I'm so happy that my aunt has returned safely. The princess didn't get angry with me because of my aunt's disturbance. Instead, she treated me with courtesy. Drinking with them is the happiest thing I've done in the past few months."
After drinking, Xiao Qinghe's face was a little red, and his eyes were moister than usual, but his eyes were bright, and the look he gave Yun was firm.
She is very clear about what she likes and what she wants to do.
She is the new bride of the Wei family, but she is still herself.
Although Xiao Qinghe's tone was gentle, his attitude made Yun feel like he was contradicting her.
Yun frowned.
In the past, He'er was obedient and sensible, and was a model of a noble lady from a noble family. Yun really liked her, but recently He'er has become more and more rebellious and disobedient.
If He'er acts as recklessly as Cao Chunxi and Princess Hengyang, will she be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the mistress of the Wei family in the future?
Yun Wantang saw Yun's worry and was afraid that Yun might say something impulsively that would harm the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. So she spoke first, "I'm glad He'er wasn't embarrassed. I was indeed too impulsive today. I don't know what kind of wine the princess likes to drink. I'll try to find a few jars of good wine another day. He'er, please help me bring them to the princess to apologize."
If Yun Wantang went to deliver it himself, he might not even be able to enter the princess's mansion, so he could only rely on Xiao Qinghe's help.
Xiao Qinghe didn't want to be the middleman and was about to refuse when Wei Lingze strode into the main courtyard with a dark face.
His face looked very ugly and his aura was extremely low, obviously directed at Xiao Qinghe, but when he saw Yun Wantang there, Wei Lingze's expression eased a little.
"Zer, what happened? Why do you look so angry?"
Yun immediately expressed concern, and Wei Lingze pursed his lips and said coldly, "It's okay."
He didn't want to say this in front of Yun Wantang.
Yun was very worried and wanted to ask more questions, but Yun Wantang stopped her: "Ze'er must be tired after a busy day in the palace. Sister, let him stay with He'er for a while and relax."
Yun let Xiao Qinghe and Wei Lingze leave. As soon as they left the courtyard, she couldn't help but complain, "He'er is really getting more and more outrageous. She knew that Cao Chunxi and Princess Hengyang were not good drinkers, but she still drank with them. She wasn't afraid of causing any embarrassment!"
Yun Wantang understood Yun's feelings very well. She said quietly, "He'er has been following the rules all these years. It's normal for her to feel envious when she suddenly sees Cao Chunxi and Princess Hengyang living so freely and passionately. But once she has a child, she won't feel that way anymore."
This made Yun frown even tighter. She said angrily, "I also want to hold a grandson, but now she won't even let Ze'er touch her. How can she have a child?"
Just as Yun had finished speaking, Yun Wantang said, "If you don't let me touch her when she's awake, then I'll try to make her a little confused."
Yun's eyelids twitched. She guessed that Yun Wantang was going to use that method and couldn't help but say, "That's not good. What if He'er makes trouble back at the Xiao family..."
"Sister, serving your husband is a wife's duty. Besides, it's not like she and Ze'er haven't slept together before. How dare she go home and make a scene?"
Yun Wantang spoke in a deep voice, and the Yun family heard it all.
Yes, Ze'er and He'er are husband and wife, and it is normal for them to sleep together. Even if He'er is unwilling, after the deed is done, she will not make a big fuss and make both families look bad.
As long as she has a child, He'er will not have any other thoughts.
After sending Yun Wantang away, Yun immediately ordered her trusted maid to go out and find some medicine that could arouse people's emotions.
