Bondage

As the sky was getting dark, Shen Qianyu got up from the corner and walked out of the East Palace.

He has been wandering in the deep palace for many years, and he has long been aware of the dark and remote dark roads everywhere.

Not long after, he arrived at the Royal Garden.

There is a banquet today, all the wives and ladies from various families in Shangjing are present, Shen Qianyu knows very little about the aristocratic families in Shangjing, especially the high-ranking ones.For many years, he has been unable to use his status as the crown prince to get close to anyone. Although he killed Duan Yiting three years ago and used his name to steal the post, he is still a gangster, and he seldom shows up in front of others.

He really didn't want to miss this opportunity to recognize someone today.

Shen Qianyu walked along the wall to the back of the rockery, and quietly looked at everyone in the garden.

Most of the people present were supporters of the third prince. Although the eldest prince had the support of his mother's family, no one knew about the filth and chaos in the harem in his early years. Although the sage never made it public because he protected the queen's dignity, there were quite a few people who knew about it.

Originally, there was a trend of divided courts fighting against courtesy, but since Jiang Xingjian's fraudulent corpse returned to Beijing, the reputation of the Chengyang Marquis Mansion has been lost, and those fools have voted under the banner of the third prince.

Thinking of meeting Lin Jiayue at Chengyanghou Mansion that day, Shen Qianyu sneered.

However, within a few months, the centuries-old family became notorious, turned upside down, and even implicated the foundation behind the fifth prince.

I don't know how many such generals there are in the world, if he can gather three or five under his command and send them to the Tong Song family of the great prince's son and mother, he may be able to sit firmly in the East Palace within three years.

Just thinking about how to cultivate Lin Jiayue's kindness, Shen Qianyu saw Song Wan and the maid beside him walking not far away to enjoy the palace lanterns.

This location is remote and secret, and on the premise of not revealing himself, Shen Qianyu raised his eyebrows slightly, wondering if Song Wan's move was intentional or intentional.

He leaned back, hiding himself in the shadows.

"Miss, there are lantern riddles here."

Heng Wu pointed to a few palace lanterns and said with a smile: "This servant can recognize these words, Miss, can you guess?"

Song Wan turned around and looked at the palace lanterns on the porch, the dim candlelight reflected on her cheeks, illuminating the already outstanding figure even more beautifully, like a dream.

It's hard to find a famous lady, Meishu.

A word of horoscope secretly emerged in his mind, until today, Shen Qianyu could somewhat understand why Jiang Yan was so fond of him, his sister-in-law.

"Miss, Huang."

Song Wan smiled lightly: "Bai Yu is flawless."

"dark."

"impressive."

"tears?"

"incoherent."

Heng Wu covered her lips: "Miss reads a group of books, you don't even need to think about such lantern riddles."

Song Wan smiled and said: "I still want to think about it, but I think about it faster."

She smiled briskly, not at all as cautious as she was in the Hou Mansion.

After the banquet in the palace, Concubine Yun sent someone to escort Song Wan back to the mansion.As soon as she got off the sedan chair, she noticed that the woman in the inner courtyard had a strange expression on her face, and she dodged when looking at her, which was unusual.

Song Wan found the maid in the courtyard and asked her to find out what happened in the mansion today.

The little maid came back and said: "Grandma, it turned out that Aunt Lin of Xiuyan Pavilion passed out during the day in the courtyard. After consulting the government doctor, she said it was... that Aunt Lin was pregnant."

Song Wan frowned, feeling surprised.

Jiang Xingjian has never let Lin Jiayue drink the soup for avoiding children, and now he even has the eldest son?

"Have you reported to Madam?"

The maid nodded: "Madam knows."

"That's good, thank you for your hard work."

Heng Zhi sent the little girl away, and turned around to help Song Wan remove her makeup and hair.The three masters and servants never mentioned Lin Jiayue's pregnancy, and whether the eldest son was born or not had nothing to do with them.

Song Wan fell asleep with the lights on, but Lin Jiayue tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

She rubbed her stomach and cried for a while, and laughed for a while, which shocked Qian Bi and Qing Hong to worry.

"Auntie, what's wrong?"

Lin Jiayue murmured: "I don't feel anything now. I heard that pregnancy sickness will take three months? The doctor said that I am still young, so I can't feel anything."

She talked and laughed: "In this world, I also have a blood relative, a child who is connected with my blood! I don't know if he is a boy or a girl, whether he looks like Master Hou or me."

Qian Biqinghong glanced at each other, and the two lowered their heads together.

"If it's a boy, I hope he can learn some martial arts. In the future, he will travel in the rivers and lakes to do some heroic things, and see those great rivers and mountains that I have never seen before."

"If it's a daughter..."

Lin Jiayue's eyes turned red, she pursed her lips and said nothing.

A burst of sadness suddenly rose in her heart: "It's time to become a female celebrity."

Taking out the bamboo embroidery support from the basket, Lin Jiayue began to embroider with dull eyes.

Seeing her embroidering, Qian Bi sewed on the soft gauze on her arm, she couldn't help but stepped forward to stop her, but before she could remind her, she was pulled by Qing Hong.

Qing Hong shook her head, signaling her not to worry about it.

The two of them tiptoed back out, Qian Bi said: "In the past, my aunt always said silly things and went crazy, but she never scolded us. Seeing her like this now, I feel very uncomfortable."

Qinghong bit her lip: "Don't think too much about it, how can we be servants to manage these things? Master Hou will come to Auntie's yard in a few days, I'm afraid he will come tonight, I think we should find a place to go out Hide well."

"Hide what?"

"you are silly?"

Qing Hong lowered her voice: "This child is not necessary at all, maybe... maybe Hou Ye will come tonight with a bowl of miscarriage medicine, what will we do then?"

She definitely didn't dare to go up and stop her, but she couldn't bear to see Lin Jiayue crying in pain.

"In a while, I'll find an errand to escape to the old lady's courtyard. As for what you want, I can't control it."

After finishing speaking, Qinghong sighed deeply, turned her head and left Xiuyan Pavilion.

When Jiang Xingjian returned to the mansion, it was past Hai, and he thought that all the courtyards in the mansion had already rested, but he didn't expect that when he entered the inner courtyard, he listened to the watchman's mother-in-law saying that his wife had been waiting for him for a long time, and that he must go to Fuhetang first when he came back.

Although he was puzzled, Jiang Xingjian rushed over.

When Fang saw him, Jiang's mother frowned: "Do you know that Mrs. Lin is pregnant?"

Jiang Xingjian was taken aback for a moment, then frowned severely.

He forgot to let Lin Jiayue drink Bizi Tang.

The Hou Mansion has been in a lot of chaos recently, and there is no mistress to take care of these house affairs, how can a man like him remember these things?

"I thought you were..."

Jiang's mother sighed: "If I knew that you didn't mean to make her pregnant, I should have asked the doctor to pour a bowl of miscarriage medicine today, so as to eliminate the cause of this disaster."

Jiang Xingjian was silent, full of melancholy.

After a long time, he said: "I will deal with this matter myself, mother doesn't have to worry."

"This fetus cannot be kept, you must not soften your heart."

Jiang Xingjian pursed his lips, turned his head and walked out.

When they arrived at the Xiuyan Pavilion, Lin Jiayue hadn't fallen asleep yet, she was sitting in front of the candlelight and was lost in thought, while Qian Bi stood aside with drooping eyelids, as if she was so sleepy that she lost her mind, even Jiang Xingjian couldn't even enter the room. Not found.

He coughed lightly, and the two came back to their senses.

When Lin Jiayue saw him, she immediately smiled brightly: "I know you've been busy recently, so I didn't dare to disturb you, but I thought you would always come today, so I kept waiting."

"Jiang Xingjian, we have a baby."
