As soon as the old princess heard the lady's request, saying that the prince had returned to the house, she quickly ordered: "Quickly, ask the dining room to prepare soup!"
"The old slave has ordered the dining room to prepare, and let the prince prepare a medicated bath to drive away the cold." The woman hurriedly said.
"Okay." The old princess answered, and then waited for her own minister.
After a while, Yuan Jing stepped into the hall, first met the old princess, and then said: "The child minister is not filial, and the mother is worried."
"It's good to come back safely, and it's good to return safely." The old princess smiled and nodded as she watched her son return safely.
Yuan Jing smiled and said, "This year the snow came earlier than in previous years. It just fell at this time last year."
"Yes, this year is a bit colder than in previous years." The old princess nodded.
After a while, the servant delivered brown sugar and soup for the cold-fighting use. He watched the child drank it, and then asked if the errand was done properly?
"Mother concubine, Erchen wants to register Aunt Zhu as a side concubine." Yuan Jing said suddenly.
"What?" The old princess was taken aback.
"Prince, isn't Aunt Zhu a spy? Why do you still register her as a side concubine?" The woman was surprised.
"Who said Aunt Zhu was a spy?" Yuan Jing said lightly.
"In return to the prince, now the entire palace is spread like that." The woman hesitated, and then glanced at the old princess.
The old princess frowned and said, "Jing'er, didn't you send guards to surround the Cinnabar Pavilion, isn't it because Aunt Zhu is a spy?"
"I'm not at the house, and Aunt Zhu is pregnant again. How can I rest assured? I sent someone to surround the Cinnabar Pavilion, but I don't want to misunderstand the house." Yuan Jing said without blushing and breathing. .
The old princess wrinkled her brows, took up her tea and said lightly, "Go down."
Hearing this, the mother-in-law will be satisfied, and all the maids will go down.
Only their mother and son were left in the hall, and the old princess asked: "What's the matter?"
She is very clear about the style of her own children, how could she protect Aunt Zhu in this way, which is like a prisoner.
She didn't believe the argument to protect Aunt Zhu.
"Mother concubine, do you know what Aunt Zhu said to Erchen before Erchen went out this time?" Yuan Jing asked while drinking tea.
"Listen to Dongxue." The old princess said: "She told you not to take this errand, and also alarmed that you would be more ill-fortuned if you go out this time."
"It's not alarmist." Yuan Jing put down the tea cup and looked at his mother and concubine and said: "Mother concubine, this time the son can avoid a catastrophe and it is up to Aunt Zhu."
"What's the matter?" The old princess sat up slightly, her face tightly looking at her son.
"Don't worry about the mother and concubine, the child minister has returned safely. Did Dongxue tell the mother and concubine that Aunt Zhu gave the child minister a picture?" Yuan Jing said with a smile.
"Not bad." The old princess nodded.
"Don't talk about Aunt Zhu, you are the mother and concubine. You don't know which way your son will go to do the job. That way is also decided by your son's decree, but you know, mother and concubine, Aunt Zhu gave to the son What I painted is the scenery on that road." Yuan Jing said softly.
The old princess had a meal, her face was shocked.
Yes, even if she doesn't know the route of her son's journey, how could Aunt Zhu know in advance which way her son is going, and also draw the scene of the road?
"That day, Erchen went to Aunt Zhu's lunch break, and Aunt Zhu had a nightmare." Yuan Jing said with memories on her face: "The scene in the dream made her very scared, and it was the Erchen who called her up. "
"She dreamed that you had an accident on that road?" The old princess clenched her hands and said.
"She thought she was having a nightmare, and she didn't want to tell her son." Yuan Jing said. This was what he later recalled. When Aunt Zhu woke up, she saw his obviously relieved expression. Without mentioning the situation in the dream, his face changed when he heard that he was going out to do errands.
"Mother concubine, as Aunt Zhu saw in her dream, the path chosen by the child minister is overhanging." Yuan Jing said slowly: "The land boundary of Cangzhou has been raining continuously for many days and the soil and rock are loose. If the child minister did not listen to Zhu Auntie, wait for a cup of tea in the same place, I'm afraid this will be..."
"So Aunt Zhu is not a spy. On the contrary, she helped you avoid a catastrophe this time?" The old princess said, breathing slowly, and she couldn't imagine her body. If this time her son had an accident, she would wait for the meeting at King Palace. What is it.
Yuan Jing nodded.
"But Erchen couldn't understand why Aunt Zhu would dream of such a dream." Yuan Jing frowned.
Until now, he still couldn't understand this.
"Does this still need to be said, it must be the luck of Aunt Zhu's fate, she wants you!" The old princess said almost without hesitation.
Yuan Jing laughed: "Why do you say the same as your mother."
"Naturally, the mother and concubine felt that she was a blessing when she saw Aunt Zhu for the first time, and you see, no other woman in the backyard can be pregnant, only she is pregnant. Isn't this a blessing? "The old princess said.
Yuan Jing didn't say anything. She was indeed a blessed woman. She could still meet him when she was exposed. Only this time, the child in her womb would be treated like a son.
But he is looking forward to her giving birth to a child, which should be smart.
"You give Aunt Zhu's birth date to the mother and concubine, and the concubine will go and ask someone to take it for you and ask the master to count it." The old princess said.
Where did Yuan Jing know the eight characters of Aunt Zhu's birthday? Aunt Zhu didn't know if she had no memory, so she shook her head and said: "Mother concubine, don't say anything about it. Just listen to what happened to Aunt Zhu, and you don't need to do more."
The old concubine originally wanted to say a few more words, but when she saw that her son really didn't want to tell the fortune, she said, "That's it, it's up to you, nothing."
Then he said: "It's okay to give her a side concubine, but you still have to wait for Aunt Zhu to give birth to the child, then it will be logical. These days, you can spend more time with her.
"I also told her to be wronged." Yuan Jing nodded.
"Aunt Zhu is not wronged. Although the mansion treats her as a spy, she doesn't panic at all. What she should do every day is not affected at all," the old princess said with a smile.
Now it seems that Aunt Zhu is innocent from beginning to end, so she is so confident.
Yuan Jing also smiled and stood up and said, "Erchen will go and take a look."
"Go, ask someone to prepare a medicated bath for you, and send it to the Cinnabar Pavilion later." The old princess said.
"Thank you, mother concubine." Yuan Jing got up and saluted, then turned around and came to Zhusha Pavilion.
