Wen Yu led Wen Yuanjie to the East Palace.
"There are no outsiders here, tell me the truth," Yu'er said, "Do you remember it, but don't want to recognize him?"
Wen Yuanjie glanced at Wen Yu, lowered his head and said, "If I don't tell you, will it be considered a crime of deceiving the emperor?"
Wen Yu shook his head, "I asked you in private, it doesn't count!"
"Oh," Wen Yuanjie nodded, "I didn't think of it."
Yu'er looked at him sideways, dumbfounded.
What's the difference between this and telling him directly?
"If you don't want to admit it, just admit it. Mother will not force you! He seems to be a bit annoying...
"Although he seems to have good intentions...but, how should I put it?"
Yu'er tilted her head. He couldn't explain the reason, but he just felt that he didn't like such a big cousin very much.
…
Jiang Shuo and Jiang Qian returned without success.
Return to the princess's mansion.
Jiang Shuo was dejected.
Jiang Qian looked at him meaningfully.
"Has he really forgotten us...or doesn't he want to recognize us?" Jiang Shuo murmured.
Jiang Qian stepped forward and patted his elder brother on the shoulder.
"Let's not mention Xiaoyuan's matter. There is another thing I want to ask my eldest brother."
Jiang Shuo raised his head blankly, "Is there anything else..."
He originally wanted to ask, is there anything more important than Xiao Yuan's matter?
But seeing his sister's face serious and solemn, he sat upright.
"When I met the eldest brother, he tried to persuade the empress. Did he want to remind her of the principle of 'female chicken Si Chen'?"
Jiang Shuo's lips moved, but he didn't refute.
He did mean this...and he didn't feel it was inappropriate when he persuaded me.
He is sincerely interested in Wen Jin! I hope my cousin can avoid danger.
But at this moment, when these words came out of Qianqian's mouth again... he suddenly felt that something was wrong, a little awkward and harsh.
Jiang Qian smiled slightly, "After we left Kyoto, we also heard about her.
"Her stepmother, Mrs. Liu, treated her badly. Without the care of her maternal grandfather's family, things got even worse.
"Later, when we were in Qi State, we also heard that she was plotted against her and she was forced to marry King Huai... King Huai hated her and her life was difficult."
Jiang Shuo nodded slowly, "I know everything you said... I know it's not an easy journey for her. That's why I want to remind her..."
"Ha, remind her." Jiang Qian laughed, "With her mind, she can get to this point. Does she still need someone to remind her what to do?"
Jiang Shuo's face froze.
Jiang Qian said: "Brother, do you need me to remind you? You control too much, and you are too self-righteous. You are too conceited!"
Jiang Shuo's face instantly turned ugly.
The veins on his forehead and the back of his hands were stretched.
All the blood in his body was pounding and roaring.
Jiang Qian's expression remained unchanged, and she quietly watched her elder brother's expression change, "Brother, I am doing this for your own good. I am reminding you!
"As a person who has experienced it, I remind you that I want to get things that you can't think of.
"In the name of 'I'm doing it for your own good', asking you to do as I ask... This in itself is a form of self-confidence and doubt in other people's abilities and minds."
Jiang Qian sighed and shook his head.
She stood up and said, "Brother must be tired from traveling all the way. The guest room has been packed out.
"I have something to discuss with the big shopkeeper of the pharmacy and the old doctors. Brother, please go and have a rest too."
After Jiang Qian finished speaking, he left with a sigh.
Jiang Shuo was indeed tired, but he couldn't sleep or sit still.
He can't even be left alone...
He would go crazy in a room where he was alone.
He hurriedly came outside the East Palace and handed over the greeting card from the princess's mansion.
"The common people ask to see His Highness the Crown Prince... Please make it convenient for me."
Jiang Shuo stuffed the money.
The guard of the East Palace returned the money and said with his usual expression: "Your Highness is busy and sees no one."
Jiang Shuo stood in front of the East Palace Gate in a daze for a long time.
Without the prince's permission, he could not enter.
He waited until evening before leaving with drooped eyelids.
"Is it really missing? He has been waiting all day."
Yu'er and Wen Yuanjie stood on the palace wall, looking at the lonely figure in the distance.
"It seems that he is quite tired... In that case, why not go and rest before seeing you again?"
Yu'er tilted her head.
Wen Yuanjie snorted, "Because of this, it is easier to make his brother feel guilty.
"This kind of request is the force of coercion. Unfortunately, I'm not Jiang Yuan, so I won't feel guilty."
Wen Yuanjie had a cold face and showed no emotion at all.
evening.
Xiao Yuchen came back from the previous court and had dinner with Wen Jin.
"Why don't you see Yu'er?"
Wen Jin sighed softly, "Wen Yuanjie wanted to hide from Jiang Shuo and begged Yu'er to let him stay in the East Palace. Yu'er sent someone over to say that he would not come to eat. Wen Yuanjie is with him."
Xiao Yuchen nodded.
He picked up the shrimp and put it on the plate in front of Wen Jin, only to see Wen Jin frown lightly.
He quickly put down his chopsticks and gently stroked the center of Wen Jin's eyebrows with his slightly rough thumb, "What? Are you worried about the Jiang brothers?"
Wen Jin smiled slightly, "It would be hypocritical to say that I don't care at all. I just feel...Xiaojie seems to have remembered something, and he doesn't want to admit it."
Xiao Yuchen nodded, he understood Wen Jin's worries.
"You are not alone now..."
He lowered his eyes and looked at her full belly, "I can't do the hard work of pregnancy for you. Leave everything else to me!"
"Don't worry about the Jiang brothers. I will meet the two brothers alone later. Is there any unbreakable bond between my own brothers?"
Wen Jin raised his eyes and met Xiao Yuchen's eyes.
His eyes were intense and full of love.
Seeing her looking at him, he smiled slightly, leaned over and kissed her on the forehead.
"Don't look at me like that... I'm afraid I can't help it."
Wen Jin whispered, "Actually, medically speaking, as long as the first three months have passed and the pregnant woman is healthy, it can..."
Xiao Yuchen quickly pressed her lips with his index finger.
His breathing was slightly rapid.
It was as if he could hear his rumbling heartbeat through his chest.
"Don't test me like this... I'm not a saint." Xiao Yuchen stared at her, his eyes becoming more and more intense, "But I don't want to be a villain. It was hard for you to be pregnant. You were so happy a while ago and suffered so much. This I don’t feel uncomfortable anymore, that’s all I think about…am I still a human being?”
He kissed Wen Jin's hair again and diligently served her her favorite dishes.
Let the maid serving as a waitress on the side face the crisis of "unemployment" every day.
Wen Jin looked at him, funny and speechless... She is also a human being, okay? How long have you been without the taste of meat?
No wonder people say that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Since she has learned to eat the marrow and know the taste... In the past few months, she has almost become a nun.
However, Xiao Yuchen had a very strong sense of restraint. Ever since he found out she was pregnant, he had been meditating every day to practice internal energy.
Unable to bear it anymore, he took a cold shower...
Wen Jin sighed, pregnancy was really hard on her.
