White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

Chapter 169 Some children are not expected when they are born

Linglan felt that her own girl was coming, she was extremely beautiful.

It stands to reason that the Lingnan area is plagued by epidemics and food shortages. I went there once, and it was good that I didn’t lose a layer of meat, but her girl was only in a state of mind during the month that the son was in Dali Temple. , as soon as the prince came out, she was completely different.

Linglan couldn't tell what was different.

Let's talk about the relationship with the prince, isn't their relationship good in the past?
But recently, the girl is like the roses blooming in the yard, so charming that people can't move their eyes.

Of course, what is even more gratifying is that the prince actually earned an imperial order for the girl, and her girl is finally going back to the Duke's mansion!
These days, she was numb when people said that the two of them were going to reconcile.

Early in the morning, Linglan packed up all her things, just after the hour, Wang Qinsheng brought the carriages and horses and servants from the Duke's Mansion to pick them up.

Wen Ning didn't expect her return to the Duke's mansion to come so suddenly, but after thinking about it carefully, it is really unreasonable for her to lose her temper and live in her mother's house even though Emperor Jiahe ordered her to be ordered.

Moreover, the Duke's Mansion is closer to the yamen, if she goes back, Pei You can save a lot of trouble.

So even though she felt reluctant, she and Linglan cleaned up everything that needed to be cleaned up.

If you want to come back to live in the future, you can ask Pei You to cooperate, and the two of you can quarrel.

cough……

The Qinghui Hall has already been cleaned, and Wen Ning feels as if she has been in a lifetime for the first time when she returns.

It was half a year ago that I bumped into Pei You and Fan Yinyin at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, and ran away angrily.No one could have imagined that so many things would happen in the past six months.

The Qinghui hall has hardly changed, and the flowers and plants she has raised are all living well; the main house has always maintained the appearance she arranged before, but it has not been lived in for a long time, and it is not popular after all.

Wen Ning took out her usual incense and lit it, made tea herself, and replaced some embroidery items in the room with new ones, and asked Wang Qinsheng to cut some bunches of flowers in, so the room was not so deserted.

At three o'clock in the application time, the Yamen is on duty.

Gu Fei received Pei You at the entrance of the engineering department on time, and as soon as he saw him, he impatiently reported in a low voice: "My lord, madam has returned home."

Seeing that Pei You really relaxed her brows and eyes, she raised her lower lip in a rare way, and leaned forward: "My lord, can I also..."

"No."

Gu Fei's face instantly became bitter.

He also wants to go back to the mansion... Madam has returned to the mansion, and Wang Qinsheng has also returned to the mansion, but he still has to stay in that bleak Wutong Lane every day to watch the Sanskrit sounds play tricks!

"The fourth prince's side..." Bitterness is bitterness, serious matters still need to be asked.

In the past two days, the fourth prince began to meet with his family's eldest son again.

Today is different from the past, King Rui is no longer there, and only this prince is the one who enters and exits the court, if nothing unexpected happens...

Although the status of the son of his family is also extraordinary, but in the future, after all, the king will be the king, and the minister will be the minister. If he offends someone to death, how can he have a good life in the future?

Sure enough, the prince frowned slightly when he heard the words.

The prince pursed his lips and remained silent, so Gu Fei didn't ask any further questions. He didn't hear an order until he closed the curtain: "Go back to the mansion tomorrow and pick a few night pearls and send them to thank the fourth prince for his words."

Pei You went to Wutong Lane as usual, ate dinner in Wutong Lane as usual, read a book in the study for a while, and when night fell, she changed her clothes and went out quietly through the side door that no one knew about.

The Qinghui Hall was lit, and Wang Qinsheng was still holding the lantern to guide him.

Pushing open the door, the familiar Daughter Xiang rushed over with the warmth of the room, turned to look inside, and saw her petite figure lying quietly on the tea table.

A heart finally fell to the ground.

Wen Ning reckoned that Pei You should be able to come back earlier tonight.

The Duke's Mansion is not only closer to the Imperial Palace, but also closer to Wutong Lane. He should be able to come back a stick of incense earlier than when he was in the Wen Mansion.

Sure enough, after she had finished her bath, she was lying on the tea table, flicking the wick in boredom, when she heard the sound of the door being pushed.

Turning around, Pei You was also looking at her with clear eyes.

"You're back!" Wen Ning excitedly jumped off the low couch and went to meet her.

Pei You glanced at her feet: "Where are the shoes?"

Oh.

Wen Ning ran back again, put on his shoes, and went over again, reaching out to untie his cloak.

"Are you busy with business today? Is everything going well?" Wen Ning took off her cloak and hung it up, then turned around and poured him a cup of tea, "When I came back today, I saw that the osmanthus flowers in the yard were in full bloom. I was thinking about making you an osmanthus sachet last year Then, I picked some and brought them back, they haven’t dried yet, but they should be mixed with tea, the taste should be good.”

"Taste it." Passed the tea to Pei You.

Pei You looked at the little girl with bright eyes and kind eyes, squinted slightly, but did not move.

"What?" Wen Ning tilted her head, "Did you think I was very virtuous and cute, and that moved you?"

A smile finally appeared in Pei You's eyes: "It's true, there should be a reward."

With that said, Liao Pao sat down at the tea table, took out a piece of tissue paper from his sleeve, spread it out, and pushed it in front of Wen Ning's eyes.

Wen Ning put down the cup of tea in her hand, stared at the piece of paper, her eyes widened in surprise.

It is a bank note.

Ten... 10 taels? !
Wen Ning almost suspected that she was dazzled, and picked up the bank note: "You...you gave it to me?"

impossible.

Who will issue a bank note of 10 taels?A one-time payment of 10 taels of silver, isn't that crazy? !

And the seal under the bank note...

Pei You directly pulled her to her knees and sat down, wrapping her arms around her waist: "Your Majesty will reward you."

Wen Ning looked at the seal again, and it was really... an imperial seal!
"Your Majesty said that the small drug dealer was so righteous and was imprisoned in Wuxi for more than half a month. Although he didn't want to reveal his name, he couldn't treat her badly." Pei You took the bank note and shook it off more neatly, " This bank note will be rewarded to her, and at any time in the future, she can pay 10 taels of silver to the imperial court."

Wen Ning took a deep breath: "Really?"

"Da Yin's imperial seal is here, how can it be fake?"

Wen Ning took another deep breath: "Then you stuffed it into your sleeve and brought it back?!"

"how?"

"You've creased it!" Wen Ning jumped off his lap, "Such a treasure should be framed and passed on to the family, you prodigal son!"

Pei You: "..."

Wen Ning was very happy, 8000 taels was exchanged for 10 taels, and the 10 taels from the imperial gift was still the same. She was the only merchant in the world who had this share!
He ran to the desk, took one of the thickest books, and carefully put the banknote in it and pressed it down.

"Did anything interesting happen today?"

Pei You had already picked up the cup of tea she had poured, and raising her eyebrows, she tilted her body and took a sip of the tea: "It's okay if I finally look forward to my wife's return home."

Wen Ning's face was slightly hot, she went over to snatch his teacup, and pushed him into the bathroom: "Go take a shower!"

After all, I came back a little early, it was only three quarters after Pei You finished washing.

These days, the two have already formed a tacit understanding. Pei You has the habit of reading before going to bed, and every time he lays down there after washing, he pats the empty seat in front of him.Wen Ning leaned in his arms like a friend, or read a book with him, or the two of them talked.

Wen Ning likes this kind of day, and also enjoys this kind of time.

She never thought that she and Pei You could get along so peacefully.

"Can I still go out like before?" When they returned to the Duke's Mansion, the two of them were the same as when they were in the Wen Mansion. Wen Ning nestled in front of Pei You, raised her face and asked, "Can I go to the medicine shop?"

Pei You stared at the book in his hand: "Why not?"

"What about the wine shop?"

"Same."

"There should be nothing wrong in Beijing recently?"

"It will probably be peaceful for a while."

"Then I'll go out to the theater tomorrow!"

Wen Ning slid out of the person's arms and wrapped herself in the quilt.

Moving in and out today, packing up and picking sweet-scented osmanthus, after all, I am more tired than usual.

"I'm a little sleepy, I'm going to bed first." She said lazily, then turned over and got ready to sleep.

There was an empty space in front of Pei You, the book was still in his hand, but he was looking sideways at the girl curled up in the curtain of the bed.

After a while, he put down the book and leaned over.

"Wen Ning, can we talk again?"

After such a short time, Wen Ning was a little confused: "What are you talking about?"

Pei You touched her earlobe: "Tell me, what did you say to me on the streets of Wuxi that night?"

Wen Ning thought about it dully, then huddled her head under the quilt to avoid his hand: "No. I said it only once..."

"Just one sentence, the last sentence."

"No."

Pei You didn't continue, she pulled down the quilt, touched the hair on the top of her head, turned around and extinguished the candle, hugged her and fell asleep with her.
-
The days went by again.

Without King Rui in Beijing, at least for Wen Ning, it was much more stable.There is no need to worry about whether he is thinking of a way to deal with Pei You and the Wen family anymore.

But she didn't go out much.

Winter is coming soon, and she wants to make a warm winter coat for Pei You.However, her embroidery skills are not bad, this kind of clothes... is really not very experienced.So I fumbled in the room by myself, day by day, very quickly.

However, she still went to the pharmacy in search of time, not for business, but for the monthly letter that came with great difficulty a few days ago, and it lingered on.

Originally, Wen Ning was fortunate that she could just not have anything to do with Pei You with peace of mind.

But the days dragged on for a long time, and...

Pei You is actually very honest.

I don't know if it was because she was too stiff that time, he is so sensitive, and made him aware of her emotions again.

Wen Ning asked He Luan to take the pulse, and He Luan said there was no problem, it was just that she was too tired and emotionally fluctuated a few days ago.

But taking the pulse like this reminded Wen Ning of another thing.

There was no one else in the pharmacy, so Wen Ning blushed and asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, look at my body... is there anything wrong?"

He Luan was already writing a prescription, and said without raising his head: "Nothing. I just told you, take a rest and take a few prescriptions."

"No, it's..." Wen Ning's voice became softer, "It's something that hinders the heir."

He Luan's complexion was gloomy and cold when he saw the doctor, he raised his head to look Wen Ning's face over again, and took her pulse again.

"No." She answered in the affirmative.

Wen Ning tilted her head suspiciously.

It's strange, she obviously never had a child with Pei You for so long in her previous life, except for the first time she asked Linglan to make her a child-prevention soup, after which Pei You didn't allow her to use it.

But she can trust He Luan's medical skills.

Before going to bed that night, Wen Ning still chatted with Pei You about this issue.

"Pei You, will you take a concubine in the future?" She asked while nestling in his arms.

Having said that, she seems to be getting smaller and smaller, sometimes thinking of Wutong Lane will make her feel uncomfortable, and she probably cannot accept Pei You as a concubine.

Pei You answered firmly: "No."

"Then what if..." Wen Ning sat up and asked solemnly, "I mean just in case. What if we never have children?"

An ancient book that Pei You read today was particularly serious and calm. Hearing this, he raised his eyelids and glanced at her face: "I haven't even tried walking, but I'm worried about running away in the future?"

Wen Ning: "..."

"I... just assume..."

"No." Pei You looked back at the scroll and pulled her into his arms again.

"But..." Wen Ning gently picked at his skirt, how could the Duke's Mansion tolerate a mistress who couldn't give birth to children?
"Why do you have to have a child?" Pei You's voice was cold and clear, and he laughed suddenly, "Some children are not expected after they are born, so it's better not to have them."

This is saying...

Wen Ning raised her head, the smirk on his lips hadn't dissipated, and there was a coldness between his brows and eyes.

Sensing her gaze, Pei You lowered her eyes, and the coldness faded away, and her eyes became warm: "There are so many words today, can't you understand this book?"

Wen Ning's face became hot: "Who...who said I can't understand, I can understand!"

Pei You slightly raised his eyebrows: "Do you know all the ancient characters?"

Wen Ning swallowed her saliva, but actually... she didn't know her very well.

But Mr. Wen, who is ignorant and inexperienced, also wants face!

"know!"

Pei You didn't believe it, pointed to one of them and asked, "What's this word?"

Ha, she really knows this one!

Wen Ning: "Me."

Pei You changed the word.

Wen Ning: "Qi."

Pei You turned a page and changed another word.

Wen Ning frowned, trying to guess: "Mu?"

Pei You pointed to another one.

It's easy!
Wen Ning: "Yu."

Pei You pointed to another one.

Wen Ning: "You!"

Pei You touched her head: "Good boy."

Wen Ning reacted: "!!!"

As expected of Pei You!Not only what you want to do, but also what you want to hear can always be heard!
Wen Ning raised her hand and gave him a powder fist.

Wen Ning didn't think too much about this episode. She had been imprisoned by the "previous life" for too long before, and she didn't want to let the ending of the "previous life" she saw unilaterally affect her decision in this life.

In case you really can't have an heir... Let's talk about it later.

Pick up a lifetime, how to be happy how to come.

Wen Ning took ten doses of the medicine prescribed by He Luan, and Yue Xin finally stopped.

And in this short ten days, the days passed from autumn to winter, and the capital turned from golden to gray.

The winter clothes Wen Ning gave Pei You finally made a barely noticeable one, but she still didn't feel ashamed to take it out and planned to make a new one.The Duke's mansion was still deserted, the eldest princess was not out in the Buddhist hall, Duke Pei was in the study, Wen Ning was the same as before, occasionally asking Linglan to bring some snacks and soup over.

King Rui's remnant party was pretty much liquidated, only Shen Gaolan was still firmly in the position of minister of the Ministry of Rites. With the elimination of King Rui's party, the fourth prince gradually began to make some moves.

But overall, the capital is still calm.

In October of the 16th year of Jiahe, the epidemic in this Wen Ning's memory was raging, and the people were in dire straits. Dayin was no longer the prosperous node in the past, and it had completely changed its appearance.

This year's weather was particularly cold, and in mid-October, the capital ushered in profuse first snow.

On the morning when the wind and snow took a break, news came from the palace that Emperor Jiahe had lost his empress.
