Of course, Zhu Yilan would not think that Tesna was not pregnant, because of Xu Xingxia. At that time, there was no such common sense. At that time, couples who did not have children were generally considered to be women's problems. Only after marrying many, many women, but still not having children, will it be determined that it is a man's problem. Besides, Zhu Yilan didn't dare to think like this at all. If Xu Xingxia can't have children, then it's a big problem.

Let's hope she blossoms soon. Otherwise, she, the future master of the harem, is really a little stressed. The old lady's eagerness to hug her grandson was completely beyond words. If this matter is not done well, it is estimated that it will be difficult for her and the old lady to get along happily. If it falls into the eyes of others, maybe he will think that he is jealous and deliberately does not let other people's women have sex with Xu Xingxia. If you wear the hat of jealousy, you are afraid that there will be endless troubles!

Seeing that Lin Xiaoniang was walking away with the Wang family, Zhu Yilan suddenly said: "Little Niang, after a while, can you come over again?" There's something I want to ask you. ”

Lin Xiaoniang's face turned pale suddenly, and she seemed to think of something terrible all of a sudden. Even her body seemed to be blown by the cold night wind, and she couldn't help but shiver. The Wang family beside her felt it, and turned his head to look at her with pity. She thought it was Lin Xiaoniang who accidentally caught a cold. Originally, too. They had already fallen asleep, but when gunshots rang out, they were all awakened. However, when Lin Xiaoniang turned around, her face had basically returned to its original state. She said in a calm tone, "Your Royal Highness, what are your orders?" ”

Wang also turned his head to look at Zhu Yilan, his brows obviously furrowed. Obviously, she was not very satisfied with the title of county lord. Xu Xingxia also subconsciously felt that something was wrong. Lin Xiaoniang's usual tone of speech doesn't seem to be like this. She has always been very gentle, does not seem to have the slightest anger, and never seems to be angry. Today, however, there are some exceptions. She, His Royal Highness the county lord, called out, and it felt as if she was respecting Zhu Yilan, but in fact, she was a little jealous. Moreover, it is a bit of a teasing of the Wang family to deal with Zhu Yilan. Just look at Wang's expression. This is what the old lady is most afraid of.

Zhu Yilan also felt it, and hurriedly said apologetically: "Little lady, I am no longer His Royal Highness the county lord, don't call me like this." I'm looking for you, but I don't understand some things very well, and I want to talk to you face-to-face. If you don't have time, it's better for another day. ”

Lin Xiaoniang said nonchalantly: "Oh, I'm sorry, the little lady knows that she is wrong." ”

On the surface, it sounds like there is no problem, as if Lin Xiaoniang took the initiative to swallow her anger and eliminate the contradiction. However, Xu Xingxia and Zhu Yilan could both feel a little uncomfortable taste from her not salty and untamed tone. Why did Lin Xiaoniang take the initiative to admit her mistake? Isn't it because you're Your Royal Highness the County Lord? Of course, Your Royal Highness the County Lord can't be wrong, and the fault can only be me Lin Xiaoniang.

Xu Xingxia said: "It's okay, little lady, I'll look for you again tomorrow!" ”

He took the initiative to open his mouth to relieve Zhu Yilan, and Lin Xiaoniang naturally had nothing to say. She was accustomed to bowing her head, pursing her lips, and did not speak. Wang didn't notice anything, and he didn't hear the hidden taste in Lin Xiaoniang's words. She also thought that Xu Xingxia and Zhu Yilan were looking for Lin Xiaoniang, and there was really something important, so she said casually: "Xiaoniang, you can stay now, and see what Xia Er wants to explain to you." ”

Lin Xiaoniang hurriedly said, "Okay." ”

Wang glanced at his son and slowly turned away.

After his mother left, Xu Xingxia greeted Zhu Yilan and Lin Xiaoniang and returned to the Xiaohua Hall. Lin Xiaoniang still looked obedient, but slightly aggrieved, standing quietly, pinching the corners of her clothes, her eyes falling on her toes. It seems that she is not one of the little daughters-in-law of the Xu family, but like a wronged girl.

Zhu Yilan asked Lin Xiaoniang to sit down. Lin Xiaoniang shook her head, indicating that she liked to stand. Zhu Yilan had no choice but to stand still. She said gently: "Little lady, did you go to bed very late?" I look at your face, it doesn't seem very good. Would you like to ask a doctor to come and have a look? ”

Lin Xiaoniang lowered her head, pinched the corners of her clothes habitually, and said a little nervously: "Go back to ...... Empress...... I'm fine...... It's just that you might be a little tired during the day...... I'm afraid of gunshots...... Gunshots rang out in the middle of the night, I never met ......"

Zhu Yilan's face suddenly turned slightly red, and she said gently: "Little sister, I said, I am no longer His Royal Highness the County Lord, nor is I a Niangniang, don't continue to call me His Royal Highness the County Lord in the future, and don't call me Niangniang." If you'd like, just call me sister. I guess I'm older than you. ”

Lin Xiaoniang still lowered her head, pinched the corners of her clothes, had a strange look on her face, and said hesitantly: "I...... You...... I know...... Sister ......"

She hesitated for a long time, but she said everything, and she still seemed to be a little aggrieved on the surface. It seems that no matter how much Zhu Yilan emphasizes that he is not His Royal Highness the county lord and is not a mother, it still brings great pressure to Lin Xiaoniang. In front of Zhu Yilan, Lin Xiaoniang's performance was a completely different person, purely a humble girl who didn't dare to speak. Who would have thought that she could eat so well in front of the Wang family?

Zhu Yilan originally felt that Lin Xiaoniang's performance tonight was a little abnormal, and she vaguely felt that something was wrong. She is a smart and clear character, and when she finds something wrong, she naturally wants to figure it out. But Lin Xiaoniang's reaction quickly dispelled her concerns. Looking at Lin Xiaoniang's appearance, she seemed to be frightened by her identity, and she couldn't even speak. This is what Zhu Yilan does not want to see. She estimated that the Wang family didn't like to see Lin Xiaoniang now. If you don't know the inside story, you still think that you bullied Lin Xiaoniang. It's not like that at all.

Xu Xingxia also thought that Lin Xiaoniang was pressed by Zhu Yilan's identity, and she didn't even dare to gasp, so she would have such a grievance, so she said gently: "Little lady, it's okay, you go back first, my mother is waiting for you over there." If you don't go back, I'm afraid my mother won't be able to sleep well tonight. By the way, you have to continue to tell your mother that nothing happened tonight, it was just a pure accident. Don't let your mother worry. Do you understand? ”

Lin Xiaoniang said in a proper manner: "Understood." ”

Xu Xingxia nodded, sent her to the door, and said, "Go ahead!" ”

Lin Xiaoniang walked a few steps, and suddenly turned around, as if she wanted to say something. However, when the words came to his lips, they quietly retracted. In the end, she didn't say anything. As a result, her movements and demeanor are a little strange.

Zhu Yilan said softly: "Little sister, what's wrong with you?" Anything to say? If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly. We're all family, I wouldn't mind. ”

Lin Xiaoniang said in a somewhat difficult tone: "I...... I...... Do you want to eat glutinous rice balls? I'll cook it for you. The old lady had just fallen asleep, but she was woken up, and she was afraid that she would have to eat something to warm her stomach before she could continue to sleep. If you need it, I'll make some for you. And the sisters here, I don't know if they want it? ”

Zhu Yilan and Xu Xingxia glanced at each other. It turned out that I was inviting them to eat rice balls, and I thought it was something. This Lin Xiaoniang has really never seen the world, and in front of the county lord, she is too restrained. Both of them subconsciously felt at this time that Lin Xiaoniang's previous life should have been quite humble, and they should have never seen any big names. Otherwise, in front of Zhu Yilan, he would not be restrained to such a point. How can such a person do bad things? I don't believe it if I die!

For eating glutinous rice balls, Zhu Yilan doesn't care. She was born in the royal family, and she was very particular about food and life, and later practiced with the elders of Taoism, and she was very particular about the outdated rules of not eating. If it weren't for the prescribed eating time, I would rather go hungry than break the original rules of life. I never got up in the middle of the night to eat.

However, this Chinese New Year's Eve rice balls are exceptional. There are also many rules of the royal family. Much more than the average home. Especially on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the whole family, from morning to night, just worships the gods and worships the ancestors, and they have to make a lot of noise for a full day. In the middle, you have to eat fasting and chant Buddha, and you can't get the slightest bit of meat. If you miss the meal time, it is also a good thing to eat some glutinous rice balls to warm up your stomach.

As for Xu Xingxia, there is nothing to pay attention to. Born in a poor military household, how can he have any outdated rules for not eating? In times of war, it's good to have enough food to fill your stomach. Moreover, when Xu Xingxia had dinner just now, he drank too much wine, but he didn't eat much food, and his stomach was a little empty. Later, I tossed with Uyunna for a while, and I felt really hungry. Thinking of the hot and fragrant rice balls, I suddenly felt even hungrier.

He smiled and said, "Xiao Niang's suggestion is good, I happen to be hungry." That's it, little lady, don't do it yourself, just tell the kitchen to do it. It is estimated that Dongzi and Niuniu were also awakened, so let's have a copy for everyone. ”

Lin Xiaoniang agreed with a smile.

Zhu Yilan asked curiously: "Did Xiao Niang be like this before?" ”

Xu Xingxia shook his head and said casually: "No." My little lady used to be quite lively, and I have never seen her so depressed. This is especially true in front of my mother. She doesn't look like our daughter-in-law, but like my mother's precious daughter. This time, she went to Xi'an City to visit relatives, and she disappeared for a few months at once, which made my mother worried. I don't know why, when we met again, she looked preoccupied......"
