After the Jia Zhen finished his work,
He returned to the Sakura Temple,
He saw Xia Lu and Qin Keqing sitting together intimately,
Xia Lu was holding a book and telling Qin Keqing a story.
"You're back?" Xia Lu felt the light dim for a moment, so he turned his head,
He looked at the door and saw that the Jia Zhen had returned.
"Yes,
What are you doing? "The Jia Zhen sat in the distance and found that Qin Keqing was looking at his wife with a little light in her eyes,
The Jia Zhen frowned slightly.
"I'm teaching Keqing how to read. You don't know,
Keqing is really smart,
Although she hasn't learned it before, she remembers it after being taught a few times. It's the Three Character Classic,
She can memorize it after being taught four or five times. When I taught her how to play go, she learned it very quickly, "Xia Lu boasted,
He couldn't help but touch Qin Keqing's head,
My love rival is so outstanding, I'm under a lot of pressure.
The Jia Zhen pursed his lips,
He muttered in a low voice, "after all, she's that person's bloodline,
Naturally, she's outstanding. "
"What are you talking about?" Xia Lu asked.
"Nothing,
When is the meal,
I'm hungry, "the Jia Zhen changed the topic.
"Then let's eat now. Ziyuan, set the table." Xia Lu looked at the sunlight outside. It was almost time to eat.
"Yes," Ziyuan and the maids quickly brought the food over. Qin Keqing naturally had to eat with Xia Lu and the Jia Zhen.
"Try this duck. I think it's pretty good." The Jia Zhen reached out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of duck for Xia Lu, and placed it in Xia Lu's bowl.
Xia Lu picked up the duck and took a bite. It was really good. The chef in the house had improved again. Xia Lu finished the duck and was about to pick up other dishes when suddenly, there was another piece of chicken in his bowl. Xia Lu was a little stunned and looked at the person who had picked up the food for him.
"Auntie, this meat is delicious," Qin Keqing said.
Xia Lu raised his eyebrows, picked up the chicken, and put it into his mouth. After eating it, he said, "It's really not bad, but Qing can eat by herself too. There's no need to call auntie." Xia Lu smiled, but his mood was a bit sour. The food that his love rival had picked up was really not bad.
Qin Keqing pursed her lips and smiled. As expected, her aunt liked it.
Jia Zhen narrowed her eyes and looked at Qin Keqing getting close to Xia Lu. She suddenly felt a sense of crisis. Sure enough, as long as it was a woman, she could not let her guard down. She was so young and already wanted to seduce his wife. What would happen when she grew up?
"Didn't you say that this child is smart? I'll invite a female teacher for her tomorrow. Since she's talented, we can't waste it. You're just a dabbler, so don't waste other people's time. Also, we should take advantage of this time to prepare well. When that person returns to the capital, he will probably come to see her. During this time, we should teach her more rules. It's not good to see that person and offend her, "Jia Zhen said.
"Indeed." Xia Lu nodded. Qin Keqing's current rules were quite good. However, Madam Qin had left the palace for so long. Moreover, she was still young and probably had not stayed in the palace for long. Some of the rules and etiquette were definitely not in place. She still had to learn them again.
Jia Zhen saw that Xia Lu agreed and was satisfied. As long as he did not see his wife, he did not believe that his wife would have feelings for the Crown Prince's daughter. The seed of a cuckold must be destroyed when it just sprouted. Jia Zhen was very proud.
Qin Keqing was still young. Even though she still hoped that Xia Lu would continue to teach her personally, she did not dare to refute. She knew very well that she was completely relying on the master here to stay. If she did not want to be driven out, she had to be obedient.
After dinner, they naturally could not go to rest immediately. Therefore, Xia Lu asked Jia Zhen to play chess with Qin Keqing while she watched from the side.
When Jia Zhen first started playing chess with Qin Keqing, he did not take her seriously. After all, Qin Keqing was still young and had just started to learn today. Even if she was talented, it would still take time for her to get started. Therefore, Jia Zhen was shocked by Qin Keqing. Although Qin Keqing still did not play very well, there were a few moves that were very good. In time, she would become a chess master again.
No matter how talented Qin Keqing was, it could not change the fact that she was a newbie. She played two games with Jia Zhen and ended in defeat. However, after playing two games with Jia Zhen, Xia Lu felt that Qin Keqing had improved again.
Xia Lu sighed in his heart. She was indeed worthy of Mother Jia's praise. She was the proudest person among the great-granddaughters-in-law. She was indeed very powerful. Such a person, in modern times, would be successful no matter what profession she engaged in. It was a pity that she was born in a patriarchal society in ancient times. No matter how talented she was, no matter how extraordinary she was, in the end, she could only marry someone else and take care of her husband and children. Speaking of Qin Keqing, Xia Lu thought of Wang Xifeng. She was indeed a powerful person. She should be able to achieve great things in the business world. However, Xia Lu felt that with her character, if she did not teach the law well, the possibility of her becoming a commercial criminal in the end was quite high.
Chess was the most time-consuming game. After two games, it was already time to light the lamp. Xia Lu sent Qin Keqing to the side hall to rest.
When it was night time, the uneasiness or worry in one's heart would be magnified. Qin Keqing lay on the bed. When she saw that Xia Lu was about to leave, she finally could not hold back and tugged at the corner of Xia Lu's clothes.
Xia Lu came back to his senses and looked at Qin Keqing. He said softly, "Are you afraid? Then I'll wait for you to fall asleep before I leave. "
Qin Keqing shook her head and whispered, "Mother, mother and father …" Qin Keqing said with some hesitation.
You should know that you are not their biological daughter. In the past, for some reason, in order to protect you, your biological mother asked your mother to take you away from home. Now that the matter is over, your mother brought you here to find us. We naturally have to tell your family about your news because your family background is very special. You have to confirm your identity, so when they find out, we will take you to see your family. "
"What will happen after I see them?" Qin Keqing was a little expectant and a little afraid.
"Auntie doesn't know yet, but no matter what, Auntie will recognize you. Your biological mother is our Master's cousin, so you are also our family's relative. Do you understand?" Xia Lu comforted. In fact, she was not confident in her heart. She did not ask for anything else. She only hoped that the Crown Prince's mistake would not be blamed on Qin Keqing.
"Yes." Qin Keqing nodded fiercely. She liked this auntie. She liked living here.
"Then have a good rest. Tomorrow, I will take you to see your current adoptive parents," Xia Lu said gently. Out of house arrest, she naturally would not do anything to the Qin couple. After all, they were the people who saved the young Commandery Princess. Even if they had made a mistake, she could not do anything to them before the Retired Emperor's results were out. However, after the results were out, if Qin Keqing was brought back to the palace by the Retired Emperor, Madam Qin would have to make a choice again. Should she go back to the palace to take care of Qin Keqing, or stay outside the palace and continue to be husband and wife with Qin Ye? Madam Qin would probably be very distressed in the end.
Xia Lu thought very unkindly. On one side was the young Commandery Princess, whom her master had entrusted her with before her death. On the other side was her husband, who had helped her for so many years. Since Madam Qin was so restless, it could be considered her punishment for making such a difficult choice. Xia Lu was really curious about who Madam Qin would choose in the end.
"Yes." Qin Keqing nodded fiercely. Now, she was finally relieved.
"Okay, close your eyes and sleep. Auntie will leave after you fall asleep," Xia Lu said gently.
"Okay." Qin Keqing obediently closed her eyes. The worry in her heart was relieved. Naturally, she fell asleep very quickly. In less than five minutes, she was completely asleep.
"She's asleep?" the Jia Zhen asked.
"Yes." Xia Lu nodded. He sat in front of the vanity mirror and removed his makeup.
"Don't be so nice to her in the future. It makes me uncomfortable. During dinner, she actually put food in your bowl." The Jia Zhen walked behind Xia Lu and carefully removed the hairpin on Xia Lu's head for Xia Lu.
Xia Lu looked at the Jia Zhen from the bronze mirror and realized that he was not joking. He was really unhappy. He joked, "Forget about those women, but Keqing is still a child. Why are you jealous?" Xia Lu thought to himself, In the future, this girl will be the one you want to climb over. She's my love rival, you know?
"Not even a child. Can't a child grow up? In a few years, she will be able to get married. You should stay away from her in the future. You are afraid that the little girl will have feelings for Jia Yao and the others. Why aren't you afraid that she will have feelings for you? If she really likes you, it will be difficult for the Retired Emperor. After all, she is the Crown Prince's orphan. The Retired Emperor will definitely feel that he owes her a lot. If he finds out that she likes you, we will be the ones to suffer in the end. "The Jia Zhen deliberately said alarmist words to scare him.
"Okay, you are right. Then hurry up and invite the female teacher in. Oh, and also two nannies from the palace to teach her the rules." Xia Lu picked up the comb on the vanity table and combed her hair. After giving birth, her hairline had receded a lot. She had to ask the kitchen to make more food like black sesame. She didn't know if it could make up for it.
"Don't worry, I will do it." For the sake of my head, I must be fast.
"Are you going to take a bath?" the Jia Zhen asked after Xia Lu removed his makeup.
"Of course. Have you taken a bath?" Xia Lu asked.
"I am waiting for you." The Jia Zhen picked up Xia Lu and walked towards the bathroom.
After a long time in the bathroom, the water had turned cold. The Jia Zhen and Xia Lu finally came out and lay on the bed. Xia Lu whispered in the Jia Zhen's ear, "When are we going to have another daughter?"
The Jia Zhen was suddenly alarmed. "Let's talk about it later."
