Chapter 297
297. Jealousy
The autumn wind is getting colder and colder, and the feeling of autumn is getting stronger day by day.
Wen Xi was currently repairing a pot of golden chrysanthemums in Wen Xi Palace. The chrysanthemums bloomed like hydrangeas in full bloom.Wen Xi likes such gorgeously blooming chrysanthemums. The golden hydrangea, pink dressing table, purple cloud fragrance, and green peony are all excellent products. The flower pots are all exquisite painted enamel pots. Wen Xi is arranging the flower branches and pouring some water by the way.
Wen Xi was worried about Wan Jing's situation, so she called her into the palace, and asked Lu Tan to follow her and serve her, so that she could tell her what happened every day.Early this morning, Wen Xi sent her to pay her respects to Concubine Cheng, but she hasn't come back yet.
Wen Xi saw that the weather outside didn’t seem to be very good. It’s already late autumn, and Kangxi’s Luanyu is also on his way back. In the morning, there was a layer of hoarfrost on the flowers and plants outside. Today is cloudy again, so there may be a cold It's going to rain.
"Send someone to Changchun Palace to have a look." Wen Xi instructed Zhu'er, just as she said the words, she heard the curtain outside to announce that Wan Jingge had returned.Wen Xi put down the scissors for pruning the flower branches, washed her hands, and went to the main hall to have a look.
There was a strong wind blowing outside, Wan Jing's bun was blown loose, and her face was blue from the cold.This is not the most important thing, Wan Jing was still happy when she went out, but when she came back, her eyes were full of disappointment, as if she had suffered a great blow.
"What's the matter?" Wen Xi hurriedly asked, then pulled Wan Jing to sit beside her, and asked Zhu'er to take a cloak to cover her body, "Go and make a bowl of hot ginger soup! "Frozen like this, I'm not afraid of catching the wind and cold!
Seeing Wan Jing lower her head and bite her lip.Wen Xi didn't say a word, and Wen Xi felt that it was unusual, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to straighten her somewhat disheveled bangs, and asked, "What's the matter? Why didn't Seventh Brother send you back?"
Wan Jing's eyes were sad, and she said in a low voice: "Why would he send me back?..."
Wen Xi couldn't help looking at Lu Tan, who also looked angry, and said in a strong tone: "Seventh elder brother's Fu Jin is pregnant!"
Wen Xi was secretly startled, at this time, it was too coincidental!
Wan Jing couldn't help but had tears in her eyes.The body gradually sobbed, and said: "Since he won't come, why should I wait there!"
Lu Tan's eyes were burning, and he said: "Seventh elder brother is too much! He clearly asked Ge Ge to play chess at the water pavilion in the imperial garden, but made Ge Ge wait for two hours! No one came, and no one told anyone! Tell Ge Ge to wait in such a cold and windy place!"
Wen Xi suddenly felt something was wrong.At this time, it is very cold outside, and the water pavilion is surrounded by water on three sides, the cold air is overwhelming, it is naturally cool in summer, but in late autumn, people will freeze to death!Seventh elder brother will not know, how could he ask Wanjing where to go? !Then he hurriedly asked: "Did Seventh Brother personally ask you to go?"
Wan Jing wiped away tears.One side said: "It's Xiao Lu, the little eunuch next to Brother Seven, who said to go at a quarter of noon."
Wen Xi held Wan Jing's cold little hand.Comfortingly said: "Don't cry, the waterside is the coldest place, how could Seventh Brother ask you to go there! Maybe someone else tricked you to go there!"
Wan Jing was stunned for a moment, and she immediately understood, and hurriedly asked: "Auntie, you mean... it's Barda's family?!"
Wen Xi thought about it, frowned and said: "She shouldn't be that stupid, such a lie will be exposed as soon as she pokes it." You looked up and said. "You don't want to go out of the palace today, I'm afraid it will rain later. I will send someone to tell your mother."
Wan Jing nodded.Muttering to himself: "As long as it's not Seventh Brother."
Wen Xi rolled her eyes and said, "Go and rest early, I will ask Hu Yu to make you a bowl of medicine to drive away the cold."
After placing Wan Jing to rest, Wen Xi looked at the increasingly cloudy outside, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and ordered Xiao Luzi: "Send someone to Elder Brother's office and tell Seventh Elder Brother that Wan Jing is ill."
At this time, he should just finish reading, let's see how he will be in a hurry.
Seventh elder brother came much faster than Wen Xi imagined, and he came despite the storm, his clothes were mostly soaked, and he rushed into the palace with strides, forgetting the etiquette, and shouted: "Your Majesty, Concubine, How is Jinger?!"
Jinger?There was a smile on the corner of Wen Xi's lips, when did you even change the title?
Wen Xi only gave a light oh, but didn't answer him. Instead, she said with concern: "Why are you all wet? If you let Concubine Cheng know, you will definitely feel distressed!" Then she turned around and said, "Hurry up and give it to Seventh Brother. Get a cloak!"
Seventh elder brother is like an ant on a hot pot, running around in a hurry, "Mother, concubine, is Jing'er seriously ill?!"
Wen Xi showed a bit of blame, "You really are, Barda is pregnant and you just miss the appointment, why don't you ask someone to tell Jing'er, which made her wait for two or three hours in the waterside pavilion for nothing!"
Seventh elder brother suddenly looked puzzled, "How did the noble mother say such strange words? When did Erchen ask Jing'er?!"
Wen Xi also showed surprise, "What? Didn't you ask Xiao Lu to ask Jing'er to meet at the old place of the Royal Garden Waterside Pavilion after noon?"
"Xiao Lu?!" Seventh elder brother frowned deeply immediately, faintly provoking anger, but then aroused infinite worry, "Jing'er, she has been waiting in the water pavilion for two or three hours?! Then how is she now? !"
"I've already taken the medicine and fell asleep," Wen Xi sighed, "I'm really froze today, but being cold is the second best thing. When I came back, I was in tears!"
Seventh elder brother immediately felt anxious, and hurriedly said: "My concubine, let me go and see Jing'er!"
Wen Xi rebuffed straight away: "Just taking a rest, don't bother her!"
"I..." Seventh Argonaut was speechless, then gritted his teeth and said, "Please tell Jing'er that it was Xiao Lu, that dog slave who falsely passed on my words, I must find out and give Jing'er an explanation! "Speaking of this, the anger that was frowning again was suppressed as much as possible, but it could no longer be suppressed.
"Hey! Bring an umbrella before you go—" Before Wen Xi could finish her sentence, Brother Seven had already rushed out, coming and going in a hurry.
Wan Jing quietly came out from behind the screen, pinched the corner of her clothes and said, "Auntie, at least I need to add some clothes to Seventh Brother, what should I do if it's cold?"
Wen Xi glanced at Wan Jing, smiled and said: "The fire in his heart is burning, he should pour some water to put out the fire." Then he chuckled and said, "Aren't you sad now?"
An abnormal blush appeared on Wan Jing's face, and said: "It's true, Auntie, I'm not sick, but I just worried Seventh Brother."
Wen Xi chuckled and said, "If you don't let him worry about you, do you want him to worry about the woman next to him?"
Wan Jing blushed up to her ears, stamped her feet in embarrassment and annoyance: "Auntie!"
Wen Xi straightened her expression and said: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Barda just found out that she is pregnant, and the imperial doctor said that the fetus is not very stable. Today, the seventh elder brother has been with her and never left. It can be seen that Xiao Lu is It was bought."
After Wan Jing was relieved, she couldn't help feeling slightly sad, and said: "If it is born, it will be Brother Seven's first child, and it must be very special."
Wen Xi took Wan Jing's hand, sat down on the couch, and asked, "Jing'er, Auntie will ask you again, do you want to marry the seventh elder brother or the eighth elder brother."
"Of course I like Seventh Brother," Wan Jing blurted out, and then she was slightly sad, "It's just that Seventh Brother likes me, but... also likes Balda Shu Fujin?" Wan Jing's nose was a little sore, her eyes Can't help blushing, "It would be great if Seventh Brother only liked me!"
Wen Xi could only sigh slightly, and Wen Xi could not solve this problem.
Wan Jing sobbed a bit, and continued: "A few days ago, the eighth elder brother told me that if I married her, he would not want a concubine, and even if he had a concubine in the future, it would be useless! I..." At that time, tears Tears came out of his eyes, "I almost agreed to him at that time!"
"Eighth brother, he is really good, very good!" Wan Jing had tears on her cheeks, making her look even more pitiful, her voice choked with sobs, "I really think it's better to be impulsive, marry him, at least you don't have to be sad! "
"There are some things that you can only decide on your own." Wen Xi can't persuade Wanjing to choose the seventh elder brother now. The Balda family is not the Jin family. This birth came at the right time, and the concubine Cheng loves her somewhat. Well, Brother Seven also respected her quite a bit, it was by no means the attitude of not caring about Jin's pregnancy at that time.Seventh elder brother will be 17 years old next year, and his temperament is becoming more and more mature. Naturally, he also hopes to have more sons.If the Balda family gets a son in one fell swoop, I'm afraid it will be a side Fujin in the future!The threat to Wan Jing is also great!
"Auntie can only guarantee that no matter how you choose, Auntie will help you." If Wanjing chose the eighth prince, it may not be bad, at least no one would dare to compete with her for her husband's favor.There has been a lot of deviation in history, and the eighth elder brother may not end up miserably!
"I, I..." Wan Jing was speechless, a little touched for a moment, "Auntie!" Then she threw herself into Wen Xi's arms and cried loudly.
The matter was found out on the second day, and it was just a small trick. It was a good thing done by Guo Luoluo Liuhua, who was just called into the palace by Yifei yesterday. It just happened that Barda was pregnant, so Wen Xi had to suspect it. Did she also lend a hand.
Concubine Yi learned about this, and immediately called Liu Hua to give him a lecture, "Didn't I tell you to have more time to get closer to Brother Eight? Why did you get involved with Brother Seven again?!"
Guo Luoluo Liuhua gritted his teeth and said, "Auntie, I'm not reconciled!" Hatred shot out in his eyes, "Seventh elder brother doesn't like me, and I can't even look down on his cripple! But even eighth elder brother can't look down on him I know how to curry favor with Wan Jing all day long! He doesn’t even look at me, he’s just the son of Xin Zheku’s humble maidservant! Why don’t you look down on me?!”
Concubine Yi hurriedly covered Liu Hua's mouth, "You dare to say such nonsense! If Brother Ba hears it, I will hate you for the rest of my life!"
"Wei Shi is originally Xin Zheku's lowly maidservant, and I'm not wrong!" Liu Hua said angrily, "The most annoying thing is that little coquettish fox! Confused two elder brothers and circled around her! Hmph, she Just like her shameless adulterous sister, she is a whore!"
Although the matter of Ruyan has not been mentioned, it is not a secret in the eyes of some people. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
ps: "Garden Boudoir" came to the ancient times and was busy farming, the elder sister-in-law was the best, the mother was patriarchal, the garden should be self-improvement, find a good son-in-law, enter the treasure, and turn the grass roots into a gold kiln.
