Chapter 417 The prince is back
The moon was high in the sky and the entire palace was silent.
"Concubine, it's already very late, aren't you going to rest yet?" Nanny Zou took the cloak and put it on Chen Qiong'er's shoulders.
Chen Qiong'er was still wearing the wedding dress she wore when she entered the mansion today.
"Yes, it's so late, the prince will not come tonight." Chen Qiong'er looked at the moon and spoke calmly.
She really shouldn't have expected anything.
There is no written law that a concubine must consummate the marriage on the first night.
But she had been there for a whole day and hadn't even seen the shadow of the prince.
Is it that the prince refuses to see her, or is it that the princess is interfering?
"The prince must be busy with official duties, otherwise he would definitely come to visit the concubine." Ruyi, the maid beside her, advised.
Chen Qiong'er sighed, "Tomorrow you will secretly inquire in the mansion about the relationship between the prince and the princess."
If the prince and the princess have a deep relationship, then it may not be as easy as she imagined for her to get between them.
"I will go and inquire tomorrow." Ruyi said.
Madam Zou looked at her daughter's haggard face and said, "Girl, you haven't had any rest all day."
"Then let's wash up." Chen Qiong'er sighed.
"Miss, Miss." Another maid, Ruxin, came in with small steps.
"It's the dead of night, why are you making so much noise?" Madam Zou scolded.
Ruxin panted, "The prince is back."
Chen Qiong'er's face lit up with joy, and she stood up excitedly and went out, "I'll go out to greet the prince."
"No, no." Ruxin waved her hands vigorously. "I saw the prince enter the hanging flower gate, so I hurried over to tell the young lady."
"Has the prince come here?" Nanny Zou asked hurriedly.
Ruxin's face froze, "I...I don't know either."
"Useless thing." Nanny Zou poked her forehead.
Chen Qiong'er's face was full of joy.
The Prince of Chen rushed home at this time, definitely to consummate his marriage with her.
"Madam Zou, is my makeup okay?" Chen Qiong'er asked hurriedly.
"Okay, the girl is as beautiful as a flower, the prince will definitely like her when he sees her." Nanny Zou said hurriedly.
"I will have someone boil some water and prepare it."
Chen Qiong'er's cheeks blushed.
"Ruyi, you go to the front and guard. If you see the prince, report to him immediately."
"Hey." Ruyi lowered his head and went out.
But she waited and waited, until her neck became long, but still did not see the prince.
She couldn't help but take a look outside the upper room, only to find out that the prince had returned to the upper room.
Ruyi stomped her feet hard.
"Girl, girl, the princess has called the prince to the upper room."
Chen Qiong'er was stunned. "What?"
Madam Zou was furious. "The princess is going too far. It would be fine on normal days, but today is the first day the girl enters the mansion. How can she stop the prince from coming to see you?"
"In that case... no wonder there are no concubines or maids in the palace. The princess won't tolerate anyone else." Although Chen Qiong'er was disappointed, she had expected this.
Don't worry, it's only the first day.
"It's not like you won't be able to see the prince in the future. If the princess does this, it will be bad for her reputation if it gets out." Chen Qiong'er said.
"Take off the jewelry. I'm sleepy." After confirming that Prince Chen would not come, Chen Qiong'er felt exhausted all over.
……
Shen Sui'an thought Fu Jinyuan would not come back tonight, so he went to bed early with his son in his arms.
Fu Jinyuan stood beside the bed, looking down at his son sleeping comfortably in his wife's arms.
Unscrupulously occupying his position.
His heart, which loved his son deeply, showed a moment of disgust.
Fu Jinyuan went to the bathroom next door to wash and change his clothes, then lay down next to Shen Suian, holding the two people closest to him in his long arms.
All the fatigue from today was gone and he fell into a peaceful sleep.
She didn't even think about the fact that he had taken a concubine today.
Shen Sui'an slept until dawn. When she turned around, she bumped into a wall of flesh. She was startled and then a big hand grasped her waist. She relaxed.
"When did you come back?"
"At night, you all fell asleep, so I didn't wake you up," said Fu Jinyuan.
Shen Sui'an turned around quietly and put his arm around his waist, "Did everything go well yesterday?"
"We were ambushed on the way, so time was delayed." Fu Jinyuan's tone was as if he was talking about what he had eaten today.
"Are you hurt?" Shen Suian quickly felt his body with both hands.
Fu Jinyuan held her hand and said with a low laugh, "No one is hurt. They wanted to kill Dou Kun's widow."
"What's going on?" Shen Suian asked in surprise.
"I originally thought it was just a case of revenge between colleagues, but I didn't expect that Dou Kun's case would become more and more suspicious the more I investigated it. It seems to be related to the war between my second uncle and the Western Regions."
"But all those who knew about it back then have been silenced. Now only Dou Kun's widow still has some clues. Even if it's just a little bit, they will kill her to silence her."
“It shows how many secrets there were back then.”
The more Shen Sui'an listened, the more dangerous this case seemed to him. "Do you know who wanted to kill Dou Kun's widow?"
"They are all assassins. Judging from their martial arts skills, they are the same group of people who wanted to kill me in Kyoto City. They should be He Zhiyuan." Fu Jinyuan said.
"He Zhiyuan is such a cancer." Shen Suian said hatefully.
Fu Jinyuan patted her back gently. "The more they fear that Dou Kun's widow is alive, the more it proves that there is something wrong with this matter."
"My second uncle's leg...was it caused by them?" Shen Sui'an asked.
"We have to continue investigating to find out." Fu Jinyuan's eyes were deep. The more he investigated, the more complicated the matter became. He did think that his second uncle's leg was related to Dou Kun's death.
But now that there is no actual evidence, it is hard for him to say.
"Wow, wow." Chao Ge'er had been awake for a while. He waited for a long time but didn't get the embrace he was used to. He suddenly became unhappy.
Crying loudly.
Shen Sui'an quickly turned around, picked up his son and coaxed him.
Fu Jinyuan supported his forehead with one hand and looked at his son in Shen Suian's arms. He reached out and poked his son's cheek.
"Let him sleep with the nurse tonight."
"You didn't see how Chao Ge'er looked when he was sleeping. He was so chubby and cute. I couldn't help but kiss him a few times." Shen Suian smiled.
Fu Jinyuan kissed her cheek, "I saw it, you look good too."
Shen Sui'an's cheeks flushed and he turned around and glared at her.
Eyes as charming as silk.
Fu Jinyuan's throat rolled, and he was about to find her lips.
"Wow!" Chao Ge'er started crying again.
"..." Fu Jinyuan coughed lightly, "He must be hungry. Let the nurse take him to feed him."
Shen Suian carried Chao Ge'er down from the bed. The wet nurse and maid outside heard the sound and were already waiting at the door.
"Wet nurse." After handing Chao Ge'er to the wet nurse, Shen Suian also began to wash and dress.
Fu Jinyuan held her in his arms and said, "Sleep for a while."
"You don't have to go to the Pacification Office today?" Shen Suian asked with a smile.
"No hurry." Fu Jinyuan kissed her earlobe, "I'm not in a hurry, others are."
Shen Sui'an turned around and held his cheek, "It's late, have you forgotten that there is a new person in the mansion?"
The lust in Fu Jinyuan's eyes cooled slightly, "Tell them not to come out of the yard."
Originally this was his and Shen Sui'an's home, but now there were two strangers in the house, which made him feel offended and disgusted.
"There was only one concubine, Concubine Huang, who insisted on going through the main gate, so the empress dowager ordered her to be carried back." Shen Sui'an said.
Fu Jinyuan thought of Empress Dowager Mu, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "It's the same if you carry one person, why not carry both of them away together?"
