Tang Zhuyun was extremely surprised. " On the Huaishang? You guys are playing this so seriously?"
The Prince of Jin said, "It wasn't planned beforehand!"
Tang Zhuyun was stunned. "What is that? It can't be that Huaishang has rebelled, can it?"
Speaking of poor Huaishang, she felt a little sorry for that single guy who was always being used as a pawn.
The Prince of Jin replied decisively, "No."
He trusted his subordinates implicitly.
"What happened?"
"He seemed to have been provoked," the Prince of Jin frowned, "And when he saw me being knocked down, he even swung his sword at me."
Tang Zhuyun was even more surprised. After a long while, she said, "Could it be that someone from the Crown Prince's faction or someone else was following him, and he was just putting on an act, doing it on purpose?"
"Wait and see," the Prince of Jin said in a deep voice.
Actually, he didn't think so.
Huaishang looked more like he was possessed.
However, he didn't quite believe in such things, and he didn't want Tang Zhuyun to worry, so he didn't bring it up.
Tang Zhuyun said, "It must be like that."
However, Huaishang went too far.
If things go even a little more crooked, their happiness in the next life will be ruined.
Criticism is necessary; Huaishang must be criticized.
"I just applied medicine to your scraped inner thigh, don't walk around too much," Tang Zhuyun said. "Lie down."
The Prince of Jin obeyed and did not move.
Tang Zhuyun washed her hands and went outside to tell the people that Prince of Jin was alright.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Pei Shen wanted to take Nanxing back to investigate what had happened, but Nanxing didn't want to leave.
Just then, Nanny Jing arrived.
"Is Your Highness alright?" she asked anxiously.
Tang Zhuyun smiled and said, "It's nothing. I specifically told you not to tell me, so as not to startle you..."
Nanny Jing insisted on going in to see Prince of Jin before she felt at ease.
Where is the injury?
The Prince of Jin is already a towering man, how could he let Nanny Jing see him?
"It's nothing, Granny, just a minor scrape."
Nanny Jing misunderstood, "Even a tiny scratch like that needs to be taken seriously!"
The Prince of Jin blushed. "You've misunderstood, I'm not injured."
"Don't be shy in front of this old servant."
"Exactly," Tang Zhuyun teased Prince of Jin deliberately, "She raised you with so much care, what hasn't the old woman seen?"
Nanny Jing, whose lines had been stolen. "..."
Prince of Jin glared fiercely at Tang Zhuyun, thinking, "Just you wait, he'll see!"
She gets angry when there are many people around, but she'll talk when there's no one around.
Hearing that the child had committed the crime while riding a horse on the Huaishang, Nanny Jing didn't believe it either. "Impossible. Although that child is a bit stingy, he wouldn't do such a thing."
Tang Zhuyun was speechless.
This "although" made her feel that Huaishang really couldn't find a wife.
Is there anyone who doesn't know he's stingy?
Pei Shen was no longer an outsider. Officially, he was now standing behind Prince of Jin; privately, he was also considered Prince of Jin's Residence's son-in-law. Therefore, Tang Zhuyun invited the others in as well.
Nanny Jing had someone bring in the food box she had brought, saying, "This old servant has made some pastries for Your Highness to try."
Osmanthus cake, chestnut cake, steamed sugar-coated cheese... these are all foods that Xiu'er likes to eat.
Clearly, she wanted to make some for Xiu'er, but also felt she couldn't forget her mistress, so she made a little more than she should.
Especially the steamed ghee with sugar, which comes in two bowls.
Nanny Jing took out the things and, without lingering, said, "We have guests in the manor, so this old servant will take her leave now."
Xiu'er offered to see her out, but she refused, saying it was cold and the roads were slippery outside, and that she should be careful.
However, she never mentioned what would happen if Xiu'er got pregnant, and remained the same as before.
Isn't she worried about her grandchildren? She clearly is.
But clearly, she knows better how to be a good mother-in-law.
Tang Zhuyun handed Prince of Jin a piece of chestnut cake and said to Nanxing, "You serve the Marquis. Xiu'er, have your steamed sweet cheese; give my portion to Nanxing, I don't want any, it's a bit too sweet."
Xiu'er said, "I don't have a good appetite and don't want to eat. Nanxing, you and the Marquis can each have a bowl."
Pei Shen didn't like these things at first, but when he heard that he was eating with Nanxing, he felt a little sweet inside.
--In the eyes of Nanxing's "family," two bowls of food were "just right" for the two of them.
If Xiu'er knew, she would definitely scold him. Two people, two bowls—isn't that a perfect match?
Nanxing is fine with anyone; she shouldn't overact.
Nanxing said, "No need, Your Excellency cannot eat this."
Pei Shen cannot drink milk or eat dairy products.
"What's wrong, Lord Marquis?" Xiu'er asked curiously.
What serious illness prevents me from eating good food?
This is her favorite.
Of course, this was before pregnancy.
I don't know if it's just psychological, but I don't feel very hungry, though I can't say I feel particularly unwell.
Xiu'er felt she was becoming pretentious.
People really shouldn't be spoiled; if they are, they'll go astray.
Pei Shen: "I'm not sick, I just couldn't drink milk before, but I'm fine now."
"Oh, you've grown up," Xiu'er said.
Pei Shen: "..."
Was he still a child when he was with Nanxing?
This Xiu'er's way of speaking, I don't know why, is always sarcastic and unsettling.
Xiu'er retorted, "You're being criticized and treated the same way as the prince, isn't that an honor for you?"
A marquis is not as powerful as a prince. He respects you and allows you to be a little arrogant.
Feeling aggrieved, Pei Shen ate the steamed sugar cheese to prove he wasn't sick.
After eating, he felt unwell in his stomach, and his complexion looked somewhat strange.
Nanxing glanced at him and said indifferently, "Your Highness, please take care of the Prince. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
Pei Shen: Little Birdie still loves me after all.
He can't drink milk because it gives him an upset stomach.
Several years later, he hasn't made any progress at all.
After returning home, Pei Shen pulled up his pants and looked for a toilet...
After tossing and turning until midnight, Nanxing looked at Pei Shen, who was lying miserable on the bed, and said, "Keep trying to be strong next time."
Pei Shen: "... I didn't get to drink the nuptial wine, so what's wrong with having some cheese together?"
Isn't that why he's still lacking resources?
Nanxing thought he was missing a screw.
"Little Birdie, shall we get married on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month?"
He had already prepared all the betrothal gifts and dowry; if she agreed, he would carry her into his mansion in a grand and splendid manner.
Nanxing said, "I don't want to be watched like a monkey."
"But didn't the Consort of the Prince of Jin remarry the Prince of Jin once?"
You should learn this trick!
Nanxing said expressionlessly, "The Empress didn't want this either; she just indulged the Prince's reckless behavior."
Pei Shen's eyes immediately filled with sorrow.
Why can't you indulge me?
Nanxing: "Stop trying to imitate me. Didn't you already send the marriage certificate to the yamen?"
Why pretend with her?
How could a top-tier bodyguard like her not notice him secretly pressing his own handprint on her fingerprint in the middle of the night?
hehe.
Pei Shen: "People need to know that you are my lawfully wedded wife."
"Shouldn't I be the one worried?" Nanxing said. "But even if we get married, there will be no shortage of suitors, so getting married is really unnecessary."
Pei Shen immediately declared that his heart for her was as clear as day.
Meanwhile, an uninvited guest arrived at the Prince's residence.
