Chapter 86: Tender Smile (Light Smiles and Gentle Whispers +)

  "Is the Empress Dowager ill?" Wang's brow furrowed.

  Sheng Qiye nodded, "She's indeed ill. I've taken the Empress Dowager's pulse and she has caught a chill, which has injured her lung meridian." After a pause, he continued, "The palace gates of Anhe Palace are tightly locked and heavily guarded. When the Crown Prince received the Imperial Seal of Regency, he only bowed his head outside the palace gate."

  "How did you come back?" Wang was surprised, "Your Majesty and Empress Dowager are both ill, how can you still come out?"

  Sheng Qiye smiled bitterly, "...... The Empress Dowager told me to rest at home for a while. She said I've been working too hard these past few days, and if I fall ill as well, the three generations of our family would be in trouble."

  Wang's heart was filled with anxiety. Although she knew that the Empress Dowager was not without her calculations, to suddenly hand over the great power...

  Alas, this handwriting is really too big.

  The empress dowager isn't afraid of letting him out, is she worried about being unable to get him back?

  But thinking about it, since Empress Dowager has brought Sheng Qiye back, she probably doesn't want him to get involved in this mess.

  "Come back and rest for a while. You've been eating poorly, sleeping poorly in the palace these days, and you've lost so much weight." Wang said with concern, and ordered the maid to serve nourishing soup for Seventh Master Sheng.

  Sheng Siyan smiled and said: "Dad, you're back just in time. Mom's not feeling well, you should take good care of her."

  Wang glared at Sheng Siyan.

  Sheng Qiye hastily said: "What's wrong? How can you be uncomfortable?" While speaking, he pressed Wang Shi's pulse with his hand and began to diagnose.

  At one glance, as if struck by lightning, the whole person was stunned.

  Is this making you so happy that you're going crazy?

  Sheng Siyan hastily pushed Sheng Qiye with a smile, "Dad, what's wrong? Is it Mother...?"

  "It's okay! It's okay!" Sheng Qiye came to his senses, gazing at Wang Shi with wild joy. "Su Guang... Su Guang..." He muttered her name, his face a mix of sorrow and joy, indescribable.

  Sheng Siyan smiled and quietly exited the house, leaving the inner room to Wang Shi and Sheng Qiye.

  After all this time, Mrs. Wang was finally pregnant again.

  Sheng Siyan was overjoyed.

  The Sheng family does not have no sons, but there is still no legitimate son.

  In any case, Sheng Siyan hoped that Wang would have a son. This way, when she got married and left home, there would still be someone to keep Wang company at home.

  Muxin quietly followed Sheng Siyan to Womei Xuan.

  It's still very cold outside. Tomorrow is the 30th of the last month, but in the Shengguo Gongfu, everyone from top to bottom only swept the courtyard clean.

  At present, many people in Beijing are struggling with hunger and cold, and the Shengguo Gongfu cannot be too high-profile.

  "Mu Ge, have you seen Hai Tang?" Sheng Siyan asked in a low voice.

  Mugwort shook his head, "Haitang is recuperating in the southwest courtyard, no one has gone over."

  Sheng Siyan thought for a moment and said: "You have time to take a look at her. It's not an infectious disease, she was injured."

  Mugwort smiled and said: "The eldest girl is really a kind-hearted person. We will go see her after the New Year."

  Sheng Siyan glanced at Mu Ge, then turned back to adjust the dark cloud-patterned cloak with cyan and gold intricate embroidery. Smiling, he said: "We also need to send someone to comfort Niu Xiaoye. She saved me, I can't just ignore it."

  What's in your heart is one thing, but on the surface you still have to put up a good show.

  That's life...

  Sheng Siyan let out a soft sigh and stopped talking. She took the wooden box back to Wu Mei Xuan, ordered her to pack a food box, and handed it over to the woman at the second gate to deliver to the Niu family, specifying that it was for Niu Xiao Ye to nourish her body.

  Although the Niu family was not short of food and drink, the food box sent by Sheng Guogong's eldest daughter was a different matter.

  Niu Xiaoye's injury was severe and he had been recuperating all along.

  Sheng Qiye gave her a prescription. They agreed to change it every 15 days.

  The Niu family invited several more doctors and had them take turns diagnosing in their home, and finally managed to save a life.

  Sheng Qiye's medical skills were exceptional. When he treated Niu Xiaoye, he discovered that her kidney meridian was damaged, which is why she was particularly overweight.

  If she can cure her kidney meridian, she will lose weight quickly. Although she won't be thinner than ordinary people, she absolutely won't be as fat as a scale again.

  Niu Datong was overjoyed and grateful to the Sheng family, and when he wrote a letter to Wang Yixing in Jiangnan's Chiangzhou, he praised the Sheng family to the skies, wishing he could immediately switch sides and join the Sheng family.

  Wang Yixing sat under the lattice window, reading Niu Dapeng's letter. He could still smile at the beginning, but as he read on, his eyebrows gradually furrowed.

  After a long while, he crumpled up the letter and threw it into the nearby incense burner to burn it. He lifted his head and gazed at the sparse shadow of the plum blossoms reflected on the window, lost in thought.

  "Second brother." A gentle and soft female voice came from the doorway.

  Wang Yi Xing looked up and saw that it was his older sister who had arrived.

  Five years ago, Wang Dajie was simple and straightforward, but now she has put up her hair in a bun and made herself up as a woman.

  A crimson red cheongsam clung tightly to her curvaceous and statuesque figure, very captivating.

  "Sister Wang, are you free today?" Wang Yi hastily stood up to let Sister Wang sit down and personally handed her a cup of tea.

  Wang Dajie, now should be called Wang Qingmei, took over the tea and sipped a mouthful, smiling: "I came to see you, recently you've been staying in the house without going out, your brother-in-law is worried that you're sick."

  Wang Yi sighed silently for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's too cold outside, it's warmer inside the house."

  "Fortunately we met your brother-in-law, otherwise on such a cold day, if we were still in Wangjiacun Village, we would have frozen to death or starved to death."

  Wang Yi said lightly: "That's not necessarily true." After a moment of endurance, he continued: "Big sister, don't mention 'brother-in-law' for now, the second prince has not yet returned to secular life."

  King Qingmei was born with two extremely good long eyebrows, which made a pair of watery eyes even more covered up, like misty cold water and moonlight shrouded in sand.

  Her eyebrows paused for a moment, instantly making people feel infinite pity.

  Wang Yi Xing felt a bit defeated and lowered his head, rubbing his brow with his hand. He said in a low voice, "Big sister, wait for a while. By this time next year, the second prince will be able to return to secular life."

  Wang Qingmei saw her second brother looking so worried and couldn't help but laugh, shaking her head: "You're worrying for nothing. Your sister's husband is clever and capable, and with the Empress Dowager backing him up, what are you afraid of?"

  Wang Yi smiled and said, "The clever ones grow old while the wise ones worry. Elder sister, you indeed understand the way of non-action."

  "I'm more open-minded than you think. Even if this doesn't work out, I've enjoyed all the blessings I never had in this life, and seen all the sights I never saw. I don't regret it one bit." Wang Qing smoothed her hair bun with a nonchalant expression. She stood up and turned around, only to see the second prince standing at the door, dressed in a sapphire fox fur coat, silently gazing at her.

  Wang Qing's eyebrows rose as she walked over with a smile, looking up and saying, "You're here?"

  The second prince smiled and replied softly, "She just woke up a little while ago, crying for you."

  Xiang Xiang is the two-year-old daughter of Wang Qingmei and the Second Prince, born lovely and adorable.

  Wang Yi thought of this child and felt worried.

  This was born before the second prince returned to secular life, and afterwards, even if the big thing can be done, how can this child's identity be handled?

  The second prince seemed to have seen through Wang Yi's concerns and said disapprovingly, "What are you worried about? I, as the father, am not worried, why should you be anxious? Let me tell you, if things go well, even if she was picked up by me, she would still be my Summer Shao's legitimate princess!"

  Wang Yi smiled wryly and nodded his hands, "The Second Prince is wise and talented, beyond the reach of ordinary people like us."

  The second prince patted his shoulder, "Don't worry. I said I would marry your elder sister as my official wife, didn't I? After I return to secular life, I will ask for her to be conferred the title of Princess Consort. You can rest assured that although she cannot take the position of my original legitimate wife, the position of a secondary wife is definitely hers!"

  Wang Yixing: "......" Second prince, you've never been married before, right? How did my sister become a concubine?

  "...The position of my original wife, Zheng Xiurong, is reserved for her. She followed me through thick and thin, but now she's nothing but a pile of bones... I owe it to her..." The Second Prince's voice changed as soon as he mentioned Zheng Xiurong.

  Wang Yi let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately. It turned out to be that Zheng Xiang Rong...

  He knew it was the second prince's obsession in his heart, and because they had never been intimate before, this obsession was even more intense.

  "......Second Prince, you are indeed sentimental." Wang Yi Xing said with a hint of a smile on his lips.

  "You wouldn't know Rong Yu, but if you did, you'd understand why I could never forget her for the rest of my life." The Second Prince fell into a reverie.

  Wang Yi smiled and said, "I heard that Miss Zheng is a peerless beauty?" In the past, she was touted as the number one beauty in the capital by busybodies. After her death, she directly became the "number one beauty of Dashan".

  "There are many beautiful women, where can they compare?" The second prince shook his head, "You don't understand."

  He paused for a moment, and then the Second Prince asked him again, "Do you have a woman in mind? If so, you should understand what I mean."

  Wang Yixing thought for a moment and shook his head: "Really haven't had one, I really don't understand what you mean."

  The second prince laughed and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Come on, let's discuss something serious..."

  Two men holding confidential reports from the capital city began discussing matters.

  ……

  In the inner courtyard of the Wu Guo Gong Fu in the capital, Old Master Wu was playing with a pair of iron stone walnuts in his hand, half-closing his eyes and asking Wu Changge who stood before him: "What has your wife been up to lately?"

  Wu Changge smiled and said: "Dad, why are you asking about Su Xiang? She's been busy lately..."

  "Busy serving gruel? Or busy helping the prince carry his sedan chair?" Old Master Wu opened his eyes, and a pair of small eyes revealed a few strands of sharp light, which was quite different from his usual image as a "miser".

  "Dad! How can you say that about Su Qin!" Wu Changge was very dissatisfied. "She's doing it all for our family's sake!"

  "When did our family fall to the point of relying on a woman?! Wu Lao Yezi was furious, his right hand shook and the iron stone walnut in his hand flew towards Wu Chang Ge like a shooting star."

  Wu Changge subconsciously jumped aside and dodged.

  "Go back and tell your wife to behave herself! Isn't she supposed to be teaching girls the Three Obediences and Four Virtues? Tell her not to bother teaching others! My Wu family has been a noble house for a thousand years, coexisting with the Great Xia imperial family. Who cares who becomes emperor?" Old Master Wu rebuked in a low voice.
