Chapter 171: Double Happiness Arrives?
"Mother, who are you?" Feng Feixue walked to Aunt Liu and asked softly.
Aunt Liu stretched out her delicate white hands, gently soothed her slightly bulging belly, and smiled softly: "Ruoxi, you are going to have a younger brother or younger sister."
After Aunt Liu said this, her eyes were full of smiles and her cheeks were as red as red apples. But Feng Feixue could tell that Aunt Liu felt very happy.
This is a good thing for Lin Xiaoran, who came late to have a child. This time he not only heard that the concubine Yao Qian raised in the house outside was pregnant, but even Aunt Liu of the Green Wei Courtyard also had a child?
He loosened the arm that was half hugging Yao Qian, ran to Aunt Liu, stretched out his big hand to hold Aunt Liu's soft white hand, and said with joy in his eyes: "Wanqing, that's great, you also
I'm pregnant. It seems that God has been kind to the Lin family and allowed me to have a double blessing. I got two sons late."
Aunt Liu nodded shyly. When Lin Xiaoran saw her, she hugged Aunt Liu lovingly into her arms.
Yao Qian, who was dressed in red costume, had eyes full of jealousy, but after all, she had an unfair reputation. Even though Aunt Liu's status was relatively humble, compared to her as an actor and actress, she was still very valuable.
When the old lady suddenly heard that Aunt Liu was pregnant, she was very happy, but when she saw Lin Xiaoran carrying the actor in red costume into the inner room, she even happily said that she was going to be a father, and she, the old lady, wanted to be a grandmother.
At that time, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
The Lin family is a family with a century-old reputation. Not to mention that Lin Xiaoran of this generation is the most virtuous and respected prime minister in the dynasty. When the old master of the Lin family was here, he was even more glorious than the current Lin Xiaoran. His words were more weighty and profound than those of the Queen and the Queen Mother.
He was favored by the emperor. The earlier ancestors of the Lin family became highly respected prime ministers and civil servants. A stamp of their feet could make the entire Dali Dynasty tremble. 14967626
This is why the old lady and Lin Xiaoran often talk about the Lin family's century-old reputation. You must know that such a reputation cannot be achieved overnight. To establish a reputation that has been respected for centuries, it must not be damaged.
This is already quite difficult.
But was Lin Xiaoran confused? He actually held an actress in his arms and told her that she was pregnant. If this got out, where would the Lin family's face be?
Feng Feixue was also worried. She saw Aunt Liu looking very fond of her son, but this also showed that she would face more and more dangers in the future. After all, the eldest lady was not pregnant yet, and now the Lin family
There is no legitimate son. If she fails to live up to expectations, she may not even be able to keep her current position as eldest lady. Although the emperor originally ordered her to be demoted to a concubine, Lin Xiaoran was so cautious in doing things, fearing a direct conflict with Chen Guogong's mansion, so she
The emperor's imperial edict was hidden in private. Although the eldest lady was ignored on the surface, the eldest lady Chen still held the position of the head of the family.
Of course, there is one thing that worries Feng Feixue, that is, if the child in the actress's belly is a daughter, that's fine. If the child is a boy, and Aunt Liu also gives birth to a boy, then there will be only one child in the family.
If there is a boy who will be treated favorably as a legitimate son, this actor will definitely have ulterior motives and attack Aunt Liu or the child she gave birth to.
The old lady made a cold face, coughed slightly, and spoke slowly: "Xiao Ran, as the head of the Lin family, how could you do such a ridiculous thing? You bought a house outside and raised an actor as your concubine.
She is also pregnant with the flesh and blood of the Lin family. If this matter spreads out and is known to outsiders, even to the emperor, where will the face of our Lin family be put aside? Can the Lin family's century-old reputation be stabilized? "
Lin Xiaoran was still smiling just now. After hearing the old lady's accusation, the joy on his face decreased slightly and turned pale. He lowered his head and said: "Old lady, my son knows his mistake, but Xiaoqian is already pregnant with me."
Their own flesh and blood, sons cannot abandon their mother and son."
The old lady glanced at Xiaoqian in red costume with sharp eyes. Xiaoqian hurriedly lowered her beautiful eyes. The old lady smiled coldly: "Since my son can't bear to do it, then I will give the order, Mother Mo...
…Drag the actress out, use a wrench to flatten her belly that shouldn’t be protruding.”
The implication is that you want to abort the child in the belly of the actor Xiaoqian?
When the eldest lady heard this, her feet felt weak. She did not expect that the old lady was such a ruthless character and would choose to protect the Lin family's century-old reputation, regardless of Mr. Lin's flesh and blood.
When Yao Qian heard this, she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Old madam, please spare me and spare the flesh and blood in my belly. He is innocent."
But the old lady said coldly: "Who knows whether the child in your belly is really Xiao Ran's or someone else's. Xiao Ran has not been to your house during this time. You found the Prime Minister's Mansion inexplicably and suddenly told Xiao Ran that you were pregnant.
Who can believe that he has lost his child?"
Yao Qian horrifiedly raised her beautiful face that was covered with makeup. Lin Xiaoran suddenly walked to Yao Qian and knelt side by side with Yao Qian: "Old madam, my son is infatuated with Xiaoqian, and she
As for the son's flesh and blood, please be patient and keep Xiaoqian in the Prime Minister's Mansion! My son will definitely not let anyone spread this matter to the outside world, and it will not affect the reputation of the Lin family. Madam, please rest assured.
"The mother-in-law and sister-in-law came out.
The old lady sighed heavily: "Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran, how could you become like this? The man has gold under his knees, get up quickly!" The old lady saw that Lin Xiaoran insisted on kneeling down with the actor Yao Qantong, so she had no choice but to give up.
Waving his hands: "Okay, everyone, get up! Yao Qian can stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but you can't marry her legitimately. Once her child is born, she can take it into the hands of the eldest lady to foster him!"
"Thank you, old lady, for your permission!"
"Thank you, old lady, for your mercy!"
When Lin Xiaoran heard the old lady's approval, she smiled and pulled Yao Qian up. Yao Qian also smiled with tears, but her heart was full of reluctance: she is also a woman, and she was also the woman Lin Xiaoran once loved, why can't she be justified?
Living in the Prime Minister's Mansion? What made her even more irritated was that after she gave birth to the child, she had to be fostered in the hands of the eldest lady? She would not be so stupid. Sooner or later, she would turn over and even use the mother to take advantage of the child.
Noble, ascend the throne of the eldest lady.
The eldest lady did not expect that this time she would not only be pleasantly surprised, but also overjoyed. If the actor Yao Qian gave birth to a son and was fostered by her side, then her position as the eldest lady would be stable. She was also afraid that Liu
Will it threaten my status if my aunt gives birth to a boy or a girl?
Feng Fei
, she was so shocked that she quickly lowered her eyes, hiding all her complicated emotions under the shadow of the blue-black eyelashes.
In fact, Feng Feixue had expected this result. When Lin Xiaoran found out that the actor Yao Qian and Aunt Liu were both pregnant with children, he often visited their courtyards. Yao Qian's courtyard was where Aunt Wu once lived.
It has been rebuilt, and now it is brand new and magnificent. Compared with Aunt Liu's simple and elegant Green Wei Courtyard, it is simply a place in the sky and a place on the ground.
Because of this, the maids and mothers in the Prime Minister's Palace began to spread rumors, saying that Aunt Yao Qian must have a son in her belly, and that Aunt Liu must have a bad belly and give birth to a daughter in the future. Otherwise, why couldn't her courtyard be built?
It's like Aunt Yao's kind of courtyard that makes people's eyes shine.
Regarding these, Aunt Liu always looked indifferent. She said what was the importance of having a boy or a girl? As long as she could add a younger brother and sister to Feng Feixue to keep her company, it would be a very happy thing.
Feng Feixue always looked cold on the surface and told Aunt Liu that she didn't like children very much, so when Aunt Liu gave birth to a baby, she would definitely not take care of it.
However, she herself knows best whether she can love her younger siblings. Leng Xin and Qiu Yan also understand. On weekdays, the young lady always looks cold and cold, but they know that the young lady always whispers orders to them at night.
Go to work, pay more attention to Aunt Liu, and often ask the two of them to take care of her in Luweiyuan. Only then can she feel relieved.
It's the handover between the end of the year and the beginning of the year, the New Year.
This year, due to the events of Aunt Wu, Lin Ruyue and the eldest young master passing away in succession, the Prime Minister's Mansion cannot be decorated with lanterns and decorations, and can only do things in a light and simple manner.
It was the New Year, and of course there were gifts to give. Feng Feixue was also carefully preparing gifts for the Lin family. Suddenly, some long-lost friends came to Ruoxiang Courtyard.
When Feng Feixue raised her eyes, she saw four men and women in gorgeous clothes, surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs.
All the empty space was occupied.
She couldn't help but frown, wondering what kind of medicine these people were selling in their gourds.
The little beauty in a peach-red dress, with a sweet smile with dimples on her lips, almost jogged over. Her pace was too fast, and she didn't care about the woman's restraint, nor was she afraid of stepping on the dress and falling. She came to Feng Feixue and stretched out her little hand to hold her hand.
Holding Feng Feixue's hand, she said with enthusiasm, "Sister, I came to see you and brought you a New Year's gift. Are you happy?"
Feng Feixue was neither overly enthusiastic nor overly cold. She said with just the right attitude of a rich lady: "Of course I am happy that the tenth princess can come here."
The ten princesses had a flattering smile on their faces, and then ten palace maids brought exquisite wooden boxes. Each box displayed the most popular and noble headdresses and earrings in the palace's treasure room, as well as the jewelry in each wooden box.
It can be said that they are connected. 10nlk.
"Ruoxi, thank you Princess Ten!"
In fact, Feng Feixue is not a woman who likes to dress up like this, nor is she a money worshipper who happily thanks the tenth princess for bringing her priceless treasures.
The reason why she accepted it was because she didn't want to undermine the tenth princess's enthusiasm and heart.
The Ninth Prince Tuoba Duo, dressed in purple clothes, has the same lovely and sweet smile as the Ninth Princess. He has a slender figure and a brown mole under his lip. His smile reveals an air of elegance.
When he came and clapped his hands, a eunuch brought a brocade box. There was a blue luminous pearl in the brocade box. On the luminous pearl, there was a carving of a woman sitting in front of flowers and playing the piano under the moon. The woman's appearance was demure and gentle, and she was stunningly beautiful.
The appearance of Feng Feixue is similar, the workmanship is exquisite and lifelike.
Feng Feixue brushed her body towards the Ninth Prince and thanked him: "Thank you Ninth Prince for your kindness!" She also knew in her heart that the Ninth Prince gave her such an exquisite and careful night-light pearl painting, which showed that he had put his heart into it.
The Thirteenth Prince Tuoba Yan also smiles as brightly as the sun. He is the youngest among the male heirs in the royal family, but he is also the smartest, so when he raises his hands and steps, he is mature and steady beyond his years.
He asked the palace maid to bring something wrapped in silk. When Tuoba Yan lifted up the silk satin with one hand, the palace maid was holding two pots of butterfly flowers. As the name suggests, the so-called butterfly flowers have petals as long as the wings of a butterfly.
Like, and the fragrance is fresh. It is really a novel thing to see such flowers in winter.
Tuoba Yan boasted: "This kind of butterfly flower is not famous for its fragrance and beautiful petals, but because the butterfly flower is like an epiphyllum. There is only one day between blooming and falling. Now this flower is blooming, and I am celebrating the New Year."
A gift for you, Miss Death!"
Feng Feixue smiled and thanked him.
His eyes were fixed on Tuobatian, who had been silent and had a cold face.
"I wonder what His Highness has prepared for Ruoxi?"
Tuoba Tian opened his empty palms, came to Feng Feixue's ear, raised the corners of his cool and beautiful lips, and whispered: "The New Year gift I give you is a kiss!"
Feng Feixue gave a swipe and her cheeks turned rosy. The Ninth Prince, Thirteenth Prince and Tenth Princess were all surprised.
But Tuobatian pretended that nothing was wrong, stood up and smiled: "My New Year's gift can only be cashed on the New Year's Day."
Feng Fei
I can't help but laugh my head off.
Of course, these princes and princesses gave her gifts, and she should also give them gifts in return. Although she had never thought that they would come and did not prepare gifts for them, she took out a few gifts from the gifts she had prepared for the Lin family and gave them to them.
Although they are not expensive, they are very happy after getting them.
But there was only one person here. He looked at Feng Feixue with a cold face and asked: "The gift from the ninth brother is a jade flute, the gift from the tenth sister is a pair of purple gemstone earrings, and the gift from the thirteenth brother is a jade flute."
A headband made of blue field jade, why is my gift a bracelet made of withered grass?”
Feng Feixue glanced at him with hatred, and said slowly: "Your Highness, you can't see this. The bracelet on your hand was woven by me from clover. It is light on etiquette but heavy on affection.
You don’t understand this, do you?”
When Tuobatian heard this, he hurriedly melted his ice face, his eyes were full of uncontrollable joy, and said: "Fourth Miss, you are interested, and I would like to thank you!"
At this moment, a woman in a gorgeous dress came up gracefully, elbowed Feng Feixue away, deliberately got very close to Tuobatian, and said delicately: "Your Highness, cousin of the Fifth Highness, why are you here too?"
Woolen cloth?"
