Chapter 47 Fire in the backyard
While Hidebo and Komahito were enjoying hot springs in Yonezawa Castle, Yamato-gun Yama Castle became a battlefield without gunpowder.
Juji has been pregnant for seven months, and she is Xiubao's main residence, so she naturally receives the care and care of the whole family. Zhiyunyuan goes to the Buddhist temple almost every day to pray for the upcoming little life. As Juji's "formerly" sister-in-law, Ajiang has always taken good care of her. In addition, she has the experience of having children, so she can handle it even more easily. The servants and maids at home are busy from morning to night, and the whole mansion is full of busy scenes.
Although it was a "broad mobilization of the whole family", the only one seemed to be out of the matter and did not care about the birth of Hideo's first child. Yes, it was Sakurahime, the princess of the Asano family.
Just as the people in the mansion were busy, she still summoned the young ladies from the Gongqing family to recite poems and paintings in the mansion, completely ignoring the contemptuous eyes of everyone. Whenever Ju Ji walked by her garden with her maid, she would always say loudly to herself: "Hey, some people suffer from ten months of pregnancy for the sake of incense. Even if there is a lot of children and grandchildren, what's the point? After all, it's better to indulge in the mountains and rivers and wander in the sea of poetry."
Kikumi had not read many poems, but she could understand these words. In addition, she was strong by nature and couldn't stand such sarcasm. She wanted to rush up to argue with Sakura many times, but she was stopped by the maid next to her. In addition, she knew that it was not advisable to get angry when she was pregnant, so she finally didn't have the same knowledge as her.
But after all, the fire cannot be kept in the way, and the matter finally reached Ajiang's ears. Although he was the side room of the home, Juji always treated her as his sister-in-law, respectfully and would discuss anything with her. After Juji became pregnant, she even handed over the affairs of her family to Ajiang to manage, making her the actual controller of the family.
Although Ajiang's personality is not much better than Juji, she has learned a lot from three strong marriage experiences, and her temperament gradually calmed down. When she learned that Juji was so angry about Sakura's affairs, she would take the initiative to enlighten her, and she could help Juji temporarily stabilize her emotions every time.
Once, Kikumi was sarcastic by Sakura and complained to Ajiang. After hearing this, Ajiang smiled and comforted him: "Does Omaeki really think Mrs. Sakura look down on you?" Kikumi was puzzled: "Not that, why did she say ill-heartedly to each other?"
Ajiang explained: "Yuqian is the wife of the wife of Xiubao's most beloved, so she will be envied by her. In addition, you are pregnant with Your Highness's children and have become the darling of the whole family. She, both His Highness's wife, has never even performed a husband-and-wife ceremony. How could she not resent you when she was so neglected?"
"Madam means, is Sakura jealous of me?" Kikuhi was a little proud. "That's right," Ajiang nodded and continued, "The more jealous she is, the more you will speak ill of you. As long as you ignore her, she will soon feel bored."
"That's right," Kikuhi smiled happily, "She is jealous of Your Highness's love for me alone." Since then, Kikuhi seems to have become a different person, and he is not angry at all in the face of Sakura's sarcasm. This time it was Sakura's turn to be angry, "Why are there such a shameless woman?" She often said. Things are really as Ajiang said. In less than half a month, Sakura stopped provoking Sakura. If the two of them were so peaceful, it would not be a bad thing.
But some things happened inevitably. At that time, the beginning of spring was just over. Although the northeast was still covered with snow, the early spring scene of ice and snow gradually melting and everything began to revive. Ju Ji was dormant at home for a winter, and at this time she couldn't help herself and insisted on going out to take a walk and see the late plums in Duowen Mountain.
Although Ajiang was worried that Juji went to the suburbs to enjoy the flowers with her big belly, she could not resist her begging eyes, and was at a loss. At this time, Azhu, a maid who had grown up in Junshan City since childhood, suddenly had an idea. She secretly approached Juji's ear and said mischievously: "Instead of appreciating the late plums, it is better to go and see the newly bloomed camellia."
"Camellia?" Ju Ji looked at Azhu suspiciously, "Camellia will not bloom until March. Now it's just February, and you girl is lying to me again."
"How dare I deceive Yuqian? Yesterday, I saw a huge area when I passed by Mrs. Sakura's garden." Azhu said seriously.
How could Ajiang not know what Azhu thought? It would be safer than going to the suburbs to enjoy flowers. It was really a shame that she had this idea. Since that was the case, Ajiang went with the flow and said, "Yes, early plums and evening plums are all plums, so there must be no difference. However, this early camellia is rare to see. Don't miss it."
Ju Ji has liked flowers since she was a child. Whether it is unknown wild flowers in the mountains or the nobles and nobles in the gardens of the noble Gongqing family, she has to look at the final analysis. Therefore, when she heard that camellias were found so early, she was also moved, but when she thought that it was in the Sakura Garden, she was a little unhappy.
Seeing Kikumi's face full of sorrow, Ajiang thought of a good idea: "Sakura and you haven't had a conflict for more than half a month. I believe they are calm now. Why don't Yuqian take this opportunity to repair her? It can not only unite the whole family but also win the favor of Your Highness, why not do it?"
Juji asked curiously: "I wonder what my wife has to do?"
A Jiang smiled and said, "I can't calculate it. I think that Sakura is so shameless. It's enough for Yuqian to give her a little step."
"Step?" Juji was still confused when she heard it, and she didn't understand what Ajiang wanted to do.
"That's right, as long as you bring her a bowl of ginseng soup to express your feelings, I think she will not make things difficult for the emperor anymore." A Jiang said, pointing to the tonic soup that the maid had just sent.
Juji then understood Ajiang's intention and immediately ordered the maid to pack the ginseng soup and go with her to visit Sakura.
At this time, Sakura was also coming to the garden with many people to enjoy the flowers. Although they were "premature babies", these camellias were still bright red, which was deeply rooted in the morning clouds. Everyone praised them. Sakura also received unprecedented satisfaction in this praise.
Just when she was complacent and forgetful, Kikuji came to the garden with Ajiang's care. When the children of the ministers saw Kikuji coming, they immediately left Sakura aside and came to the front of Hideo's official room to give a big gift.
How could Sakura Ji bear such a gap? But after all, she was in the side room, so she had to salute Ju Ji with a sinister face: "I am here, and I am not welcome. Please forgive me."
Kikuhiki didn't realize Sakura's displeasure. She was thinking about repairing her with her, so she came to her enthusiastically and said, "Madam, don't blame me for coming here uninvited. There is a ginseng soup just made in the kitchen, so I'll give it to you to try." Then she ordered the maid to take out a bowl of steaming ginseng soup from the food box.
"Ginseng soup?" Sakura said angrily, "Does Yuqian want to show off to me?"
"What is this? I just want my wife to share the delicious food with me. It doesn't mean anything else." Kikumi hurriedly explained, and took the ginseng soup from her maid and handed it to Sakura.
Seeing that the children of all the ministers were staring at her at this time, Ying Ji was so embarrassed that she pushed the ginseng soup away and said coldly: "Share together? I think the emperor wants me to make a fool of myself in front of everyone. Please take this soup back, so I will not be blessed to save it."
Juji was already greeted with a smile, but she didn't expect to be attacked for no reason. After all, she couldn't help it: "I'm visiting myself to make a repair with my wife, so I'd better ask her to drink this bowl of soup." Then she sent the bowl to Sakura's mouth.
Sakura is not a vegetarian, and it is hard to wait for others to force him. She pushed Kikumi away and shouted, "I said I won't drink it, so I won't drink it."
