rich concubine

Chapter 2248 The performing monkey
This life has its ups and downs, but as long as people are kind and willing to live a good life, the sweetness will always outweigh the bitterness. Sometimes, looking at the children, Rong Yi feels that this life is worth it.

The joy of raising children is to pass on, and more importantly, to soothe the soul and participate in the growth of a life. This feeling is difficult for non-parents to understand.

Rong Yi looked at her well-behaved second daughter and held her hand. This daughter of hers was always well-behaved and sensible, which was heartbreaking.

Everyone is afraid of rebellion, and parents are even more afraid of their children being rebellious and unfilial. But sometimes, children who appear to be too well-behaved, who have tasted all the troubles themselves first, and then suppressed them without talking about them, so as not to worry others, such children are more It's heartbreaking. I wish she could be more selfish and express her bad emotions instead of holding them back.

The day passed peacefully, and there was no problem in Xiang Xiyuan for the time being. People who looked at Ruan Chuyin said that she just sat at home, embroidered flowers, and made incense. She was very quiet.

After three days in a row, Ruan Chuyin did not fight or grab anything. He just gave away a few sachets, which was very popular with the servants.

Among them, on the second day, the prince decided to give her two maids. As far as Rong Yi knew, those two maids were the two people who spread the gossip in the mansion.

After learning that these two people went to serve Ruan Chuyin, Rong Yi felt that the matter became interesting.

The new clothes cut for the Chinese New Year in the mansion were all reported to the clothing collection bureau at the same time. Some of them were made quickly and slowly, including the eldest princess and the prince. Their new clothes have also been prepared and sent over. But there are no newcomers, but Rong Yi doesn't need to worry about it. It is said that the prince has already spent his own money to buy her two new sets of ready-made clothes.

After learning the news, Rong Yi sneered and said nothing.

After all, she is his concubine. If he is willing to love and pamper her, then let him go. As long as this person is under his nose and we can see what he will do, it is more convenient than being outside and unable to control him.

Jiang Shunxiao looked at her slightly cold expression and said, "When I look at you these days, you don't even look happy on your face."

Rong Yi pursed her lips, glanced at her, and said, "How could you? You don't have much time at home during the day, and you don't see me when I'm happy. Stop talking about me. What are your arrangements now? The New Year is coming soon. , but you are still so unavailable."

Jiang Shunxiao sighed softly, looked outside, and said: "I'm afraid this year will not be so peaceful. The border is not very peaceful. I maybe..." At this point, his eyes darkened.

Rong Yi's heart sank, and she subconsciously grabbed his sleeve: "What's wrong? I won't ask you to leave the capital again at this time, right?"

Jiang Shunxiao turned around, took a deep look at Rong Yi, and said in a helpless tone: "Do you know why I didn't come back even once in those ten years? The border war is really tight, but it's not so busy that I can't even come back once. None. At that time, the situation was severe. Even if there was no battle to fight, we had to stay there and be on guard. This has always been the case. The border has always been in need of people to guard it. It's just that there has been a truce in these years. All countries have internal affairs and are temporarily trapped. , but even so, we cannot relax easily, especially now, it is impossible to say that the country of Meng is truly peaceful."

There is no peace in the country. The first is money, the second is full power, and the third is land. The few Jiedushi masters guarding the border, and the few marquis and counts who have occupied all sides with their merits, how can they be vegetarians?As time goes by, people's hearts are separated. Even the people who conquered the country together at the beginning can't say that they are not selfish now. People are like this. They want more after they get it. They are always not satisfied with the present. Greed is never enough. solution.

If these people have evil intentions, once they rebel, Meng will not be much better than Chitan today.

Even a prosperous country cannot withstand years of war and internal strife. If the two coexist, it will be the end of the country.

Now, the capital has been targeted. Among the new batch of maids who came to the palace, there was a spy. When she was discovered, she committed suicide at the gate of the Queen's Palace before she could be captured alive.

Even the palace is already being watched, but what about other places?It was impossible to say that Ruan Chuyin was one of them. The time of her appearance was too coincidental, and she took advantage of the most fatal weakness between the prince and the eldest princess to get involved.

Although Jiang Shunxiao didn't mention this to Rong Yi openly, the couple knew it tacitly. Otherwise, Rong Yi wouldn't have been so silent at the time, and would have had someone come to the house in the end.

After Jiang Shunxiao said this, Rong Yi felt unbearable pain in her heart. She stretched out her arms to hug Jiang Shunxiao and whispered in his ear: "I know that with your current status, His Majesty's importance to you, and your Waiting for your identity, I don’t know how many eyes are staring at you outside. You are a military commander. I already knew this before I knew you. I also know that you are a person who will sacrifice his life for the country. I don’t have those in the past. Participation, now I feel heartbroken just thinking about it. From now on, you can just do what you should do with peace of mind. I am at home, and I will take good care of this home and the children."

Hearing these words, Jiang Shunxiao's eyes deepened, and he swallowed slightly. He looked at her eyes full of pity, and a thousand words turned into a kiss. Then, he looked at her and said, "Call Aman back. With her by your side, I feel more at ease. If I really have to leave Beijing later, if there is any unavoidable situation, will you send the children to the princess? There will be no problems with her taking care of me."

Rong Yi's eyelids trembled. Even though her heart was beating wildly at this moment, she just looked at the man in front of her quietly. Long before these things happened at home, Rong Yi had vaguely sensed that the following days might not be too long. An Ning, she didn't expect that before anything happened to Ruan Chuyin, her man was already leaving.

This definitely didn't happen recently. Maybe it had been a long time ago and he didn't say it until now.

As his wife, Rong Yi wanted to blame him for not speaking out directly, but as his eldest concubine, Rong Yi understood him. In a precarious time, any disturbance may affect the current situation, and many words are spoken around her. No matter how close you are, you can't say anything, and you don't mention it at all to protect yourself and the people around you.

Later, the two talked about Ruan Chuyin again, and Jiang Shunxiao said: "Have you ever seen the monkey performing in the troupe? If you keep staring at it, it will keep performing and make the actions you want to see, waiting. You give him a reward, but once you pass by, he will show his true colors, whether he is tired or bored... You are on guard against her, and she is on guard against you. It is better to let go and watch her show her weakness. .”
