Chapter 391 Red Dust House
Xuanyuan Qi didn't speak for a long time, and he didn't ask too many details, because as long as he knew that this matter was indeed happening, he could quickly find out all the details.
He just glanced at his mother silently.
Princess Jing was puzzled by this look from him, and then she reacted, her face was a little confused, and she said angrily: "What do you think I do? I know people, faces, but not hearts. I didn't know she was so vicious. She could even kill her children in order to achieve her goal." Don’t let it go.”
Although he said this, he was still afraid in his heart.
If that vicious woman were really allowed to come in, the palace would definitely be disturbed.
Thinking of the concubines in the harem who would go to any lengths to win favor more than ten or twenty years ago, Princess Jing suddenly felt disgust in her heart. She felt that Fang Lanyi was the woman who was truly suitable to live in the harem, unscrupulous and vicious. , as long as such a woman is smart, she can always do things that many women cannot do.
However, if her brain cannot keep up with her vicious methods, she will be the only one who dies without a burial place.
Princess Jing thought of the fierce competition in the harem more than ten years ago. Over the years, the emperor had aged, his health had deteriorated day by day, and he had no energy to choose new talents. The surviving concubines in the harem were all quite young, and they probably didn't have much thought and care. They used all their energy to calculate, except to safeguard the interests of their respective sons - but no one expected that after they had been fighting for most of their lives, a Feng Princess would come out halfway and take the throne.
It's sad to think that a lifetime of fighting has finally come to nothing.
Xuanyuan Qi sipped lightly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then turned to look at Chu Hongyi: "How do you think this matter should be resolved?"
Chu Hongyi's expression was indifferent, and when she was about to speak, Xuanyuan Qi said, "Forget it, don't worry about this matter, I will handle it."
If what Ji Waner said was true, he would definitely make Fang Lanyi's life worse than death.
Chu Hongyi glanced at him and said no more.
Now that someone has solved the matter, she is naturally happy to be free, and besides, she has no interest in dealing with a woman like Fang Lanyi.
"Cousin." Ji Waner looked at Chu Hongyi timidly, then turned to look at Xuanyuan Qi, with obvious nervousness and expectation in her eyes, "Do I think I am giving up my merits?"
Xuanyuan Qi glanced at her expressionlessly.
Ji Wan'er couldn't help but took a step back and whispered: "I was blind before, damn it, I was stupid, but...but I was also deceived by her weak and innocent appearance. It's okay if I don't have contact with her in the future. ”
Xuanyuan Qi was too lazy to talk to her and said calmly: "To avoid long nights and many dreams, Hong Yi and I will get married on the sixteenth day of this month. Mom, please be responsible for the affairs in the house, and I will arrange the outside affairs."
Princess Jing nodded: "You make the decision."
Chu Hongyi had no opinion on the marriage. She only listened to the discussion between Princess Jing and Xuanyuan Qi, mother and son. During this period, Ji Wan'er cast her begging glances several times, but Chu Hongyi pretended not to notice.
She is not a person who likes to hold grudges, but she has the right to choose who to deal with. It just so happens that someone as stupid and ignorant as Ji Wan'er is not within the scope of her consideration. It is okay not to hold grudges, but it is impossible for her to take the initiative to express kindness.
After discussing the official business, Princess Jing stood up and left with Ji Waner, while Xuanyuan Qi and Chu Hongyi returned to the house together.
As soon as the door was closed, Chu Hongyi was embraced by Xuanyuan Qi. A gentle kiss fell into her eyes. The man's voice was as gentle as the best wine in the cellar: "You don't have to worry about the details of the marriage process. You are only responsible for doing it." Just be the bride."
Chu Hongyi was silent for a moment: "I have almost become a cripple these past two days."
Ever since he found out she was pregnant, he had hardly been to the military camp. Even if he occasionally showed up to let the soldiers know that she was still alive and well, Xuanyuan Qi was with her the whole time, either supporting or holding her when getting on and off the carriage. The horse was definitely not allowed to be ridden, and the Yangchun water was not allowed to touch the fingers. Even washing in the morning and bathing in the evening were barely handled by Xuanyuan Qi himself.
Then every time she came to the palace, Princess Jing would ask the kitchen to prepare black chicken soup, bird's nest, bone soup, fragrant fish soup, various nutritious soups, a dazzling array of delicacies for lunch, afternoon desserts, and various nourishing foods. The food... Chu Hongyi didn't think much about Princess Jing's completely different attitude before and after, and attributed it all to the child in her belly.
Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to deal with Princess Jing's sudden enthusiasm.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xuanyuan Qi pinched her face, "You are now the treasure held by everyone in the palace, how can you be a useless person?"
Chu Hongyi did not argue with him, but changed the topic: "Do you want to change the name of this courtyard?"
name?
Xuanyuan Qi was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion: "Why?"
"It sounds ugly."
Xuanyuan prayed for a moment and frowned: "Is 'Red Dust Garden' unpleasant to listen to?"
"Um."
"I deliberately put your name in front, why does it sound bad?" Xuanyuan Qi frowned slightly, "Is it called Chenhongyuan?"
Chu Hongyi looked at him expressionlessly.
"Qi Hongyuan?"
Chu Hongyi: "..."
"It doesn't seem right." Xuanyuan Qi frowned, "Why does Qi Hongyuan smell like dust?"
Chu Hongyi didn't know what to say.
Xuanyuan Qi seemed to finally react, "Hongchen Court is actually nothing, but if you don't like it, how about changing its name to 'Hongchen Xiaozhu'? It sounds more elegant. After we get married, we can repair the yard. Plant some wisteria on both sides of the corridor, they will look beautiful when they hang down in the summer.”
Speaking of this, Xuanyuan Qi pointed out, "You can hang some spider plants on the walls on both sides——"
"Xuanyuan Qi." Chu Hongyi finally couldn't help but speak, "Why must we use the word 'Hongchen'?"
Xuanyuan Qi turned his head to look at her: "Because this is our yard, it is a small world that belongs to the two of us, so it is natural to put our names on it."
Chu Hongyi was silent.
"The word Qi is not suitable for this, it always sounds a little less charming." Xuanyuan Qi thought for a while, "So it's best to call it Hongchen."
Chu Hongyi was silent for a moment, and felt that there seemed to be no need to continue arguing about this issue, so she let him go.
"You take a rest first, and wait for mother to send someone to call you, and then go to dinner." Xuanyuan Qi took her hand and walked into the inner room, "I'll find out what happened between Madam Xi and Fang Lanyi. It's better to deal with this vicious woman before getting married, so as not to have more dreams at night."
A woman with a vicious heart, even if you are powerless, you have to guard against her.
Especially now that Hongyi is pregnant, Xuanyuan Qi will not take risks with the safety of the mother and son.
"The young master Fang Qixuan of the Zhenguo Mansion is the confidant of the former crown prince." Chu Hongyi reminded him lightly, "Madam Xi is the most famous wedding lady in the imperial capital. She has a gentle personality, serves her parents-in-law with great filial piety, and is tolerant and harmonious with her husband and children. Therefore, many prestigious young men in the city will invite her to their weddings. If the Zhenguo Mansion or the Prince of Wei Mansion puts pressure on her, she can't resist."
