"He's really scared to death. This palace is truly terrifying …" Dong Zhu thought back to what she had just seen and said with lingering fear: "That hypersensitive Empress is very scary. Could it be that the concubines of the harem are all like that? "Then you all better be careful when serving." As a servant, Dong Zhu felt that Xiao Lin was not bad and could not help but booed at her.
Xiao Lin helplessly smiled, "Fighting and killing in this deep palace is a very common thing. There are some who are lucky enough to meet a good-natured master, but if they are unlucky enough to meet a tyrannical master, that is life and death. Not all masters are as friendly as the Mrs. IX, Miss Dong Zhu, your luck is really good. "
Mrs. IX's action just now was clearly to vent her anger, and thought that Master was really the fortune that she had accumulated over several lifetimes. It would be great if he could have such a master.
In the next few days, Xi Jiu Er and Dong Zhu went private and did not come out. Dong Zhu was really afraid of the imperial garden this time, as she honestly went to the palace with Xi Jiu Er to read and practice, if there was anything good, it would be left for him to think about Liu Shui.
On this day, Shi Chen Wen's wife, Yun Qing Ran, entered the palace. The two of them met at both ends of the long corridor. When she saw Xi Jiu Er, she was startled. She then looked at the big tree in the distance, and the hatred and complex emotions in her eyes were wiped away.
"It really is you. You haven't changed at all. This child …" Is it from the Prince Xian? " Yun Qing Ran looked at Jiu Er's bulging abdomen and said enviously, "Truly wonderful. I also want to give Shi Chen Wen a child.
Xi Jiu Er looked at the expression on her face. She looked more mature and haggard. Thinking about the Prince Xian coming to find him, she felt guilty towards Yun Qing Ran. She didn't know what to say, but the atmosphere suddenly turned cold.
"I always said you were burned to death. What's going on?" In the end, a little bit of life came back to Yun Qing Ran's face and she asked puzzledly. Listening to Xi Jiu Er recount her experiences in the Wind Nation, she was astonished: "Jiu Er is truly capable, that Xi Wan Feng deserves it, but knowing him like the lamp had gone out, those who need to go away can go away."
"I'm just telling you this. I don't know anything about those who are by my side. You have to keep it a secret for me." Xi Jiu Er frankly said that she wanted to close the distance between the two of them. Of course, there were some things that were omitted, such as the matter of a child's father.
Yun Qing Ran's eyes reddened. Thinking back to her, Xi Jiu Er and Chu Ge's beautiful times, she felt as if it had been a lifetime. Hearing Xi Jiu Er telling her her secret, she felt like she was talking about everything again.
"Jiu Er..." Yun Qing Ran wanted to cry first, so she leaned on Xi Jiu Er's shoulder and cried: "Jiu Er, I'm crying so much, I think of Shi Chen Wen, I want to go and find him, if he doesn't come back soon, I'll die with him too."
"Qing Ran..." Xi Jiu Er patted her back as if she was a child, "It's fine, it's fine, my grandfather and Shi Chen Wen are fine! We'll wait here for them to come back, then you can have a beautiful baby and be my son's wife, okay? "
Yun Qing Ran cried for a while. Xi Jiu Er had a calming effect on others, when with her, no matter how irritated she was, she would gradually calm down. Ye Zichen nodded and said, "Mhmm, I, oh, if I have a son, then the children will be brothers, and the daughter will be your daughter-in-law. I don't have to worry about having an mother-in-law, so I won't bully my daughter."
After that, Yun Qing Ran talked about her own life, and she felt that the most audacious thing she had done in her entire life was to take care of Shi Chen Wen. She once took a bottle of medicine from Xi Jiu Er's side and gave it to him to eat.
"You … "You …" Xi Jiu Er was stunned, but thinking about how Yun Qing Ran had such a personality, she did not feel it was strange. She was a woman who liked and hated women, it was not surprising that she would do something out of line.
Yun Qing Ran blushed and said: "I had no choice, that guy was like a stinky rock in a latrine, smelly and tough, determined to leave after marriage, not willing to let him touch me, in the end I had to do it myself." She paused for a moment before lowering his voice, "I am leaving it for him. I have a wish to have a child in the future."
"Mm …" Xi Jiu Er replied.
"But--but he was so incompetent that he didn't get me pregnant. It really infuriated me." Yun Qing Ran fumed, as though Shi Chen Wen had committed some unforgivable sin. Xi Jiu Er was stunned, and then she heard Yun Qing Ran say with a reddened face: "I work so hard, why haven't I gotten pregnant? Jiu Er, do you think it's my problem, or his?"
"This... "I don't know …" Xi Jiu Er shook his head: "You should go see a doctor."
"I, I'm too embarrassed to go …" Yun Qing Ran stammered in an unnatural manner.
What? Embarrassed to go? You don't have the nerve to ask me about it? Xi Jiu Er laughed helplessly, and was struck by inspiration: "How about this, there is an imperial physician here, how about we have a look for you?"
"Yes!" With Xi Jiu Er by her side, her face involuntarily thickened as well. Very soon, the imperial physician came to take a look at Yun Qing's pulse. "Madame Shi's body is a little weak, you just need to take a few medication."
This time, Yun Qing Ran's face became uglier. After the doctor asked for it, Yun Qing Ran 'wah' and cried out: "Jiu Er, if he doesn't return alive, I will be a sinner of the Shi Family. At that time, how can I face the ancestors of the Shi Family?"
"Don't think too much into it, my grandfather and your Shi Chen Wen are a pair of swords. If you can defeat the invincible hand in this world, you can just calmly wait for the good news." Xi Jiu Er was relieved, but seeing that Yun Qing Ran was so sad, she couldn't do anything about it.
Yun Qing Ran came and went quickly, and after talking to Xi Jiu Er for a while, she returned: "I came to see you today, I just want to know if you are the Jiu Er that I know. Since you have confirmed that I am very happy, Jiu Er, it is great that you are still alive."
"Thank you, Qing Ran. You are still as kind as before."
"Kind? Actually, I was quite resentful when I saw you back then. If it wasn't for the fact that your Prince Xian wouldn't have come looking for you, Shi Chen Wen wouldn't have gone out to fight on Prince Xian's behalf. But then again, what does the decision of the Prince Xian have to do with you? I can see that you don't want to come back, so I can't blame you any more. " Yun Qing Ran laughed embarrassedly, she felt extremely guilty for having such thoughts.
Xi Jiu Er looked at her deeply, and said with gratification: "Qing Ran, it's so good, you haven't changed at all."
Yun Qing Ran could roughly understand the meaning behind her words, and she said with a slight smile: "Jiu Er, as a woman, it's already extremely rare for a man like the Prince Xian to be able to do this for you. You have to grasp it well. Otherwise, he would have missed it. "A woman is after all a woman. Only by marrying and having children can one be considered perfect. Otherwise, why would the heavens want you to become a woman and not a man?"
