Chapter 168 Yixiu. 8
After returning from the pavilion in the center of the lake, Yixiu changed her clothes and went into the study to practice calligraphy. Jianqiu stood guard at the door and asked Huichun to ask the small kitchen to make lotus seed and lily porridge for Fu Jin to nourish her.
When Yinzhen arrived at the main courtyard, he saw Rouze holding a book and sighing. He walked in and held her hand, "Why are you so depressed?"
"Silang!" Rouze was delighted to see him coming, and then she sadly told him about Yixiu's visit today, and finally sighed: "Xiaoyi is still blaming me."
Yinzhen frowned slightly, but when he thought of Yixiu's hysterical accusations that day, he could no longer be angry with her. He just comforted Rouze and said, "Xiaoyi was indeed wronged at that time, but don't worry, Wanwan, she will understand your difficulties."
Yinzhen smiled and said to Rouze, "The most important thing for Wanwan now is to take good care of herself and give birth to the child."
Rouze looked at Yinzhen, ignoring his affection for Yixiu, and smiled as she touched her belly, "It's already five months now, and the baby will be born in a few months. Silang, I'm really happy."
"I am the same as you."
Nanny Li felt relieved to see that the two were still as loving as before. Ever since the concubine came into the mansion, the prince and his concubine have always been very loving. Now it was just a temporary feeling of guilt towards Yixiu, and the prince would probably forget about it after some time.
Soon there was movement at Qingyin Pavilion. Jianqiu was surprised when she saw Gao Wuyong coming over.
"Eunuch Gao, why are you here?"
Gao Wuyong and Su Peisheng are quite different. Both of them are the chief eunuchs beside Yinzhen. They are in charge of all matters in the front yard respectively. However, it is Su Peisheng who usually accompanies Yinzhen.
Therefore, there were always people in the palace saying that Eunuch Gao was a head shorter than Eunuch Su. However, Jianqiu knew the importance of the matter and treated Gao Wuyong with courtesy.
Gao Wuyong smiled and waved his hand: "The prince asked me to deliver something. This is the jade fan that the prince has just acquired. The silk threads on it are all soaked in spices. It feels cool to the touch and has a pleasant fragrance. There is also this lotus hairpin, which is a rare treasure. Finally, there is this piece of jade-scented silk, which is perfect for cooling in summer."
"The prince specially asked me to deliver it here, which shows that he is thinking about Concubine Yi."
Jianqiu smiled and bowed: "Thank you for coming, eunuch. It just happens that Madam Yi is practicing calligraphy at the moment and hates to be disturbed. I hope you can forgive me."
Gao Wuyong shook his head: "I don't deserve it. Since Lady Yi is busy, I will go back first."
"Father-in-law, walk slowly."
Jianqiu looked at these things and asked everyone to register them and put them aside for a while until Yixiu came out to look at them.
After Yixiu came out from practicing calligraphy for an hour, she was not surprised to see what Yinzhen had sent. She said to Jianqiu, "Send someone to take a look. Use whatever can be used."
"Hey, I'll do it right away."
Yixiu does have some medical skills, but she doesn't intend to reveal them. Otherwise, if something really goes wrong in the future and she is suspected, it will be a troublesome matter.
She is not afraid of trouble, but too much trouble can be annoying.
"Fujin, the lotus seed and lily porridge is ready. Please have some."
Yixiu took it with a smile, "Make some more some other day, and wait for Honghui to come back and give him a taste, which will also nourish his body."
"Fu Jin is so concerned about the eldest prince, the eldest prince must know Fu Jin's painstaking efforts."
"What kind of pains can I have?" Yixiu stirred the spoon in her hand, "He is fine, which is my greatest comfort."
Seeing Huichun serving, Jianqiu went to the study to help Yixiu organize the words she had written today and put them away properly. She spotted a line of poetry and felt strange just by looking at it.
"Using and discarding is up to the time, and my actions and concealment are up to me. Why not just sit back and watch? I am healthy and live a leisurely life until the end of my life, and I will fight for the honor."
When Jianqiu returned, she smiled and saw Yixiu holding a book and reading it, so she asked, "I just saw a poem written by Fu Jin, but there are two lines that I don't understand. I hope Fu Jin can help me solve the puzzle."
Yixiu turned her head to look at her, "Which sentence?"
"I am a poor servant, I only remember the first sentence, I used it and discarded it, I totally forgot the rest."
Yixiu smiled, and even her eyes were filled with genuine smiles: "That is a poem by Su Shi, a hermit in Dongpo. Whether the poem is useful or not depends on the current situation. Whether you want to enter the world or leave it, you have to make your own decision. You might as well sit back and watch the situation unfold."
"Although it describes the state of mind of Mr. Dongpo, it also reflects my mood. However, I am a layman after all, and I don't have such a broad mind and cultivation. It is just a consolation."
Although Yixiu said so, Jianqiu smiled and said, "I think Fu Jin is exactly what she said. The most important thing is that Fu Jin is in good health, and the eldest prince is also safe and sound."
Yixiu smiled at her and said, "You know how to please me."
It was no secret that Yinzhen's people went to Qingyin Pavilion, and they were holding things in their hands when they came, so many people speculated that they were going to deliver rewards.
After hearing this, Rouze just smiled indifferently. It was good this way. She and Silang were husband and wife, and Yinzhen's compensation to Xiaoyi would also make her feel less guilty.
But Nanny Li's attitude towards this was different. She said to Rouze, "Fujin, you have to be on guard against this. The prince's concubine is getting better and better now. You have to make plans early."
She frowned slightly and scolded: "Madame Li, I feel very guilty about what happened to Xiaoyi back then. What are you saying now? Xiaoyi and I are both from the Ulanara clan. Madame, please don't say such things again in the future!"
"Fu Jin..."
"Why, Madam, you don't even listen to me now?"
Rouze's beautiful face straightened up, and she even had a bit of majesty. The nanny didn't dare to say anything more, for fear that she would really get angry and hurt the fetus in her belly.
The reactions of the people in the mansion were mixed. Qi Yuebin didn't care. Although Lin An envied her, he didn't feel jealous. Li Jingyan was jealous but didn't dare to say it out loud. After all, she was really afraid of this concubine.
When Yinzhen returned from the main courtyard, he asked Gao Wuyong a question. He answered honestly, "Your Highness, when I went there, Concubine Yi was practicing calligraphy in the mansion. Aunt Jianqiu said that Concubine Yi didn't like to be disturbed when she was practicing calligraphy, so I sent her there and then returned."
"Really? Back off."
Gao Wuyong knew that the prince was probably a little angry, but what he said was also true. Su Peisheng watched Gao Wuyong leave. He didn't know how the prince valued such a stupid guy!
Su Peisheng helped Yinzhen grind the ink. Yinzhen dipped the ink and wrote a few words on the paper, but then he couldn't stop thinking about the side profile that he had seen in the morning.
Somehow, he always felt that Yixiu became thinner after her illness, and she looked very different from before.
