Yaoyueyuan.
Chen Qingzi looked at the unfamiliar woman in front of her. She couldn't remember her name for a moment and cast doubtful eyes on Chunyu.
"This is Concubine Bai." Seeing that Chen Qingzi was still confused, Chunyu ignored Xue'er's embarrassed look and hurriedly leaned over and said in Chen Qingzi's ear, "Like Wei Concubine, she came from Hemingyuan."
With this explanation, Chen Qingzi suddenly realized.
"Concubine Bai, why did you come to see me? Sit down and talk."
"No need, I came here to tell Concubine Chen something." Xueer glanced at Chunyu and several other maids, and added, "It's a secret, Concubine Chen will be interested in it."
Chen Qingzi had nothing to do, and it was good to pass the time by listening to music. She dismissed her servants, leaving only her and Xue'er in the room.
"Okay, Concubine Bai can talk now."
Xueer looked around to make sure there were no extra people at the scene. She made up her mind and pretended to be mysterious: "Isn't it strange that Concubine Chen is wondering why, with so many people in the house, only Concubine Wei has experienced pregnancy and childbirth?" ?"
She deliberately led Chen Qingzi to speculate on the dark side.
However, Chen Qingzi was no longer the Chen Qingzi she used to be. She let go after recognizing the reality.
"Concubine Wei is blessed, what's wrong with this?"
Xueer decided to tell Chen Qingzi this secret after much deliberation. Firstly, there were only two concubines in the house, and Chen Qingzi was one of the few people who could stand up to Lu Qing. Secondly, everyone knew about Chen Qingzi's friendship with Yan Fuguang, and she thought it was impossible for Chen Qingzi to let go. It is impossible to be willing to go down.
"What if I say that it's not that others are unlucky, but that someone deliberately prevents these people from having children?"
Chen Qingzi pursed her lips: "What do you mean?"
Xue'er took two steps forward, her dark and cold eyes fixed on Chen Qingzi, and said word by word: "Forget, dust, worry."
Before Chen Qingzi could say anything, Xueer straightened up, walked around, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it. It's not that you can't give birth, it's that the prince won't let you give birth."
She also suddenly thought of it. In the past, when she was working as an errand in Hemingyuan, Taoyu only burned incense once and was scolded by Aunt Zhong. At that time, she only thought that Aunt Zhong was in charge, but in retrospect, there must be something fishy hidden in it.
And this strange thing must be Wangchenyou.
Chen Qingzi's heart sank immediately, and she tried her best to calmly ask: "Where is the evidence?"
In fact, she believed Xue'er's guess because Chen Qingzi had also suspected it.
"I don't have any evidence, but isn't it obvious? Whoever's yard the prince rests in will forget his worries. But one night in the forty years of Xihe, the prince came back from the palace, and Grandma Zhong picked something in the house where we lived. I sent Concubine Wei to serve the prince, and the next day she was carried out and passed by me without any trace of forgetfulness."
"So, she became a concubine and got pregnant."
Xue'er's speculation was not unreasonable, and Chen Qingzi clenched her fingers.
She didn't blame anyone, but she was disappointed with her years of true love.
"Okay, go down. Don't talk about things without evidence. I will forgive you this time, but I won't do it next time."
Xueer couldn't believe it: "Concubine Chen, don't you believe it?"
Chen Qingzi said categorically: "I don't believe it."
It doesn't matter whether she believes it or not, because she can see Xue'er's purpose in saying this.
Chen Qingzi will not fulfill her wish.
"Concubine Bai, please come back."
As soon as Xue'er left, Chen Qingzi gave up all her strength, her straight back relaxed, and her eyes were filled with sadness.
She kept pestering her for the chance to enter the mansion, so she wasn't cherished? Are you so stingy that you don't want to give her a child?

Xili City.
Kong Xing had already negotiated with the Lan people and repeatedly induced them to launch an attack from Xili. Finally, the Lan people were confident that after several years of win-over, most of the officials in Xili had betrayed Dayan, so they were happy with Kong Xing's suggestion. nod.
"when?"
"Back to my lord, they decided to take action in early March. They said that our country in Dayan would be busy with spring plowing at that time, so they could catch us off guard."
Yan Fuguang made a prompt decision: "Transfer troops from Baihe City to station as soon as possible. In addition, troops will be mobilized from the capital. Don't move elsewhere to prevent temporary changes."
The garrison at Baihe City was equivalent to Yan Fuguang's personal soldiers. He could use it easily, and it would not be easily chosen as an attack point; the rest were drawn from the capital to prevent other places from being attacked.
He originally thought he would go back to Beijing after a patrol, but now he doesn't know when he can go back.
Yan Fuguang pressed his eyebrows, feeling a headache.
"Third brother, I got your letter conveniently."
Yan Qinghuai sat down opposite Yan Fuguang with a carefree look, glancing over from time to time: "The letter from the mansion is from the third sister-in-law?"
He just asked a lot about the person who sent the letter. He heard that it was a letter from the Jin Palace in the capital, and he even felt a little envious of his third brother. It's different when someone is thinking about her when she's away from home. It's not like him. She doesn't care about her and doesn't care about her. It's as if he doesn't exist.
Yan Fuguang was too lazy to pay attention to him and opened the envelope. The not-so-pretty handwriting came into view, and his eyebrows softened instantly.
The coldness and strength when giving orders suddenly faded away, and now in the first month of the year, Yan Qinghuai felt the spring breeze blowing on his face from Yan Fuguang.
Yan Qinghuai crossed Erlang's legs and was about to make a few jokes when he suddenly remembered the news about the quarrel between his third brother and the princess, and it took him a moment to realize that he had asked a stupid question.
"It's not the third sister-in-law, that's the concubine Wei? That's right? Am I right?"
After speaking, Yan Fuguang answered, and he himself nodded in affirmation.
It must be the letter from his third brother's beloved concubine, Concubine Wei. Look at his third brother's worthless look. It's really a long time since he's been alive!
"Concubine Wei really misses her third brother..."
Yan Fuguang felt that he was annoying because he talked too much, so he asked: "It's not like you're not married. Why are you asking? No one has written to you?"
Yan Qinghuai was seriously injured and hesitated for a while, unable to say anything embarrassing that he was not welcomed by the princess.
"Alas..." After a long sigh, Yan Qinghuai stood up and left the room, leaving Yan Fuguang alone.
Yan Fuguang watched him go out and close the door, and then he held the letter and read it word by word. The smile at the corner of his mouth became bigger and bigger. He thought of his three little cubs from the lines of Lu Qing's simple and unpretentious words.
After being out for so long, he really missed the mother and son in the house.
Yan Fuguang read it carefully, but the letter was only two sheets of paper and he read it quickly.
He still didn't have enough meaning and muttered: "It's gone?"
Not giving up, I read it over and over again.
"Tsk, I've finished talking about the child, and you didn't even say you missed me..."
At this time, Lu Qing, who was practicing calligraphy in the small study, sneezed.
"Are you catching a cold?"
Lu Qing waved his hand and said to Ji Qin: "It's okay, someone may scold me."
