Chapter 39 Tong Jia Qingtang
Xiyu hurried back to the East Third House and asked Xia Ying, but learned that Jingtai's letter had not been delivered yet.
"It's okay, there's still time, don't panic."
Xiyu muttered softly to comfort herself.
Time passed by minute by minute. Xiyu looked at the sky and found that he couldn't tell what time it was, so he had to ask the time over and over again.
The countdown on the system panel only had thirty minutes left.
In the spring, two charcoal braziers were placed in the house, the temperature inside the house was kept high, and a small crack was opened in the window.
Xiyu took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the couch, looking a little depressed.
"May the Fu Jin be safe and sound."
The visitor was a stranger. After entering the room, he put one hand on the ground and greeted her.
Xiyu's eyes lit up and she sat up straight. Could this person have been sent by her brother?
"Tomorrow is the last morning court of the year. All departments of the court are busy with the year-end summary, so the Fourth Master asked me to come back and tell you that I will stay at the Ministry of Revenue tonight."
The light in Xiyu's eyes dimmed in an instant. It turned out that he was not here to deliver a letter.
She piled herself back into the quilt and whispered:
"Got it. Go back and tell the Fourth Master to keep warm and remember to light the candle a little brighter when reading official documents."
"Yes."
Chun Shi led the young eunuch away.
Xiyu was sitting alone in the room in a daze. She was mentally prepared to accept punishment.
Fortunately, this punishment is not fatal.
There were ten minutes left in the countdown on the system panel, and Xiyu heard knocking on the door again.
It’s Xia Ying!
"Come in!"
she spoke.
Xia Ying hurried in with the letter in her hand, "Fujin, a letter for you."
Xiyu took it and opened the envelope. There were two whole pages filled with eloquent words.
The first page of paper records how much he ran around from yesterday to today, and the second page of paper records the conclusion.
It turns out... that calligraphy was actually written by the famous talented woman Tong Jia Qingtang.
So, Imperial Concubine Tong Jia is the Fourth Master's adoptive mother, and Imperial Concubine Tong Jia is Tong Jia Qingtang's aunt, which means Tong Jia Qingtang is his cousin.
When she was still in the boudoir, she had heard of the name Tongjia Qingtang, and had also heard that her poems had been praised by the Emperor.
There was nothing worthy of her suspicion about the relationship between cousins. What was the Fourth Master's attitude yesterday?
Xiyu continued to read, and the second half of the page read: Some people heard that when Imperial Concubine Tong Jia was still alive, she once privately asked the Emperor to arrange an engagement for the Fourth Master and Tong Jia Qingtang, but before she could announce it to the world, Imperial Concubine Tong Jia fell seriously ill.
The marriage was delayed and never announced.
Later, Yinzhen was injured while trying to save His Majesty, and the residual poison in his body caused damage to his body, which was detrimental to his offspring.
Tong Jia Qingtang immediately asked her grandfather to tell the Emperor that she did not want to marry the Fourth Master.
The Emperor was helpless and did not want to force the two to get married, which would have resulted in them becoming a pair of resentful couples. So he had no choice but to agree after asking Yinzhen's opinion.
Few people knew about this, but the concubines and the empress dowager who lived in the palace must have known about it.
This is the reason. Is the Fourth Master afraid that she will get to know about this and ask questions and become jealous, or is he still thinking about his cousin and is afraid that she will find out?
Xiyu felt depressed and uncomfortable, as if a heavy stone was pressing on her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.
The letter in her hand seemed to become heavy, and every word on it stung her eyes like a needle, making her feel disgusted.
She threw the letter aside, with a stern face and said nothing.
Xia Ying stood aside and witnessed the expressions on Fu Jin's face, from joy to surprise to anger.
In just a cup of tea, she had three different emotions. What did the master of the mansion say to make her master so depressed?
Stinky Yinzhen! Bad Yinzhen! How dare you hide someone else in your heart!
Xiyu had already made a conclusion about the matter in her mind before even asking the person herself.
[Congratulations, you have completed the task again. Your health data has risen to 77%]
The number was about to reach 80%. Eighty meant the passing line for pregnancy and childbirth, which meant she could give birth safely.
But now she felt aggrieved and didn't want to have a child for Yinzhen anymore.
For the first time in her life, the little ginseng spirit realized that she also had the jealousy of a woman.
She was jealous of Tong Jia Qingtang and Yinzhen, who were childhood sweethearts. She was jealous because they had once been engaged, and she was also... she was also heartbroken because Yinzhen was broken off from engagement.
When he was lying in bed injured, he must have been in great pain and hoped that someone would come to comfort him and care about him, rather than telling him that his fiancée wanted to break off the engagement.
The cancellation of the engagement with Tong Jia Qingtang not only represented the breakdown of their relationship, but also meant that the Tong Jia clan had given up on Prince Yinzhen, a prince who had been hurt and had no chance of becoming emperor.
As far as she knew, Tong Jia Qingtang was seventeen years old and still unmarried.
If this year is over, by next year, she will be an unmarried old maid.
As for who is the prince they are betting on, it will probably be revealed at the New Year’s Eve banquet this year.
Although she didn't know what Yinzhen thought about this cousin with whom he had an engagement, she could see directly that Yinzhen's favorability towards her was 75%.
Xiyu sorted out her confused thoughts and threw these things into the charcoal brazier and burned them.
"The Ministry of Revenue should be too busy to have time to eat right now. Chun Shi, ask the small kitchen to make some more cakes and send them over."
"Yes."
During the morning court tomorrow, all departments in the court will report their achievements in the past year to His Majesty. This can be said to be the day with the largest number of people attending the court and also the longest time.
But after the morning court session ends, a twenty-day holiday will begin.
The court will start its holiday from the day of Little New Year, and the Emperor will stop writing on that day until the tenth day of the first lunar month.
During this period, except for the New Year's Eve dinner for the whole palace and some greetings, the rest of the time can be allocated as you wish.
This was probably the longest time she could stay with Yinzhen. If she could take advantage of this time to get her body back in shape and get pregnant, her mission would be half completed.
Since Yinzhen would not be back tonight, she had nothing to worry about. She washed up early and got into bed, holding an unfinished notebook in her hands and reading it with relish.
Time passed minute by minute and the night darkened, but she was unaware of it and remained fully immersed in it until she finished reading the last word.
She lay on her back on the quilt, so moved by the story that she found it difficult to extricate herself from it.
I have to say, this storybook is really wonderful!
It made her want to start writing immediately and write a story that could also touch other people.
After traveling through time for so many years, she was too weak to go out for fun and could only stay in her room every day to recuperate.
In order to entertain her, the fourth brother gave her all the scripts available on the market.
She had read at least several thousand novels, if not ten thousand.
