If not abolished

Chapter 27

Hu Shanxiang, who had jogged back all the way, poured herself a glass of water while panting.

Lingzhi saw her coming back and said happily, "Girl, you are back. Are you hungry? I will go get some food."

When Lingzhi came back and saw Hu Shanxiang sitting there in a daze, she walked over and called out to her several times but she didn't respond. She couldn't help but worry that the girl might have become stupid after kneeling like this. Lingzhi started shaking her again.

Hu Shanxiang finally came to her senses, "Lingzhi, what are you doing? You almost made me dizzy."

Lingzhi quickly explained: "Just now I called the girl several times but there was no response, so...what happened to the girl just now? Why is her face so red? Could it be that she has a fever?"

"No, I just felt a little hot after jogging back. By the way, what did you get to eat? It smells so good."

Hu Shanxiang came back to her senses now, smelled the delicious food, and realized she was hungry. Her stomach growled twice. It was really embarrassing.

Lingzhi quickly brought the food to the table. Hu Shanxiang was so hungry that she wolfed down the food without any mannerism.

Seeing her like this, Lingzhi poured her tea and advised: "Young lady, eat slowly. You are eating too fast. Your stomach will feel uncomfortable later."

Hu Shanxiang couldn't listen any longer and had to eat first.

Hu Shanxiang was lying on the bed thinking about her second brother's words. She was indeed too nervous about that man these days. Only she knew that she was just using him as an opportunity to escape. It was only because she knew the direction of history and did not want to enter the palace and become the first deposed empress of the Ming Dynasty that she wanted to find someone to marry. She had an engagement and even married herself before the fifteenth year of Yongle, which could change the original trajectory. But in the eyes of others, she was so eager to care about a man, except for admiration, and it seemed that there was really no other reason. If this matter could be settled one day earlier, she would be at ease one day earlier.

，她只想查找。 宋重辉，阿普罗夫迪夫 艾莉娅·布朗，为高中生，宋晓宇 杨柳的期。 English: According to the course of history, after the canonization of the Crown Prince this year, His Majesty will again bring up the matter of selecting a concubine for the Crown Prince as His Royal Highness has reached the age of retirement, and this time it will be for the selection of a Crown Prince's Consort. At that time, the Crown Princess's mother's family will recommend a virtuous woman, Sun Ruoji, from Zouping, who of course lived up to expectations. This Sun was selected and immediately brought into the palace to be personally educated by the Crown Princess. From then on, Sun and the Crown Prince lived together day and night and cultivated a deep affection. Everything came naturally, and the two were only waiting to get married in the future. But no one expected that Hu Shanshan, an airborne Crown Prince's Consort, would suddenly appear halfway. The Crown Prince was naturally unwilling to do so, but he could do nothing about the imperial power, so he could only bear the pain of letting his beloved become a concubine. At the same time, they had deep feelings for each other, but they also owed it. Hu Shanxiang was naturally right and wrong, and being deposed for no reason was very telling. She had never been favored by her husband all her life, and she had to ask to be deposed. It was really upsetting to think about it. She must not repeat the same mistake. Fortunately, there was still time.

"Hiss, Lingzhi was right," Hu Shanxiang suddenly felt a pain in her stomach. She thought it would go away if she endured it, but it became more and more painful. "Someone come." Perhaps her voice was too quiet, so no one came in. Hu Shanxiang reached out and pushed the shelf beside the bed. After a while of noise, the night watch girl came in. She was startled to see Hu Shanxiang sweating and pale.

The small courtyard quickly lit the lights and sent someone to the main courtyard to pass on the message. For a moment, most of the house was in an uproar.

Mr. and Mrs. Hu both believed that it was the kneeling punishment that delayed their meals, which led to this consequence, and they blamed themselves and were extremely worried.

The next day, Hu Shanxiang was awakened by a loud noise. She hadn't slept much since there was such a noise in the middle of the night yesterday, and now she was woken up again. She felt very uncomfortable.

"Lingzhi, why is it so noisy outside? What happened?" Although she stood up because of the noise, she didn't even open her eyes and even yawned.

Lingzhi trotted in, helped her up and asked someone to fetch water: "Miss, the second lady is here."

"Hmm~ Second sister is here?" Hu Shanxiang dozed off and ran away when she heard the news that her second sister had returned.

"They're so noisy, are they going to have a fight?" Hu Shanxiang's tone contained a hint of watching a show.

Lingzhi said as she was dressing her, "That's right. The second young lady just came back. When she heard that she was not allowed to live in the mansion and only rented a small courtyard for her, she came directly to the house. The master and the young masters have all gone to the palace. The lady was afraid that others would laugh at her, so she sent a message to the old lady and let the second young lady come in first. They are all in the hall now?"

"Hurry up, don't take this, that's it." Hu Shanxiang was about to get up and walk out, but Lingzhi pulled her back: "Girl, you haven't put on your bodice yet? You haven't had breakfast yet."

"I won't eat for now." Hu Shanxiang wanted to run again, but she was held too tightly.

Lingzhi held her hand tightly and said, "No, you had an emergency last night, and the master and the mistress gave us an order to make sure you eat on time and not miss a single meal."

"Okay then, you let me go first and go get it so I can eat it, okay?" Hu Shanxiang said in a negotiating tone.

Lingzhi said: "As soon as I let go, the girl will definitely run away. Don't be fooled."

"No, I can't eat if you hold me like this. I've already promised you," Hu Shanxiang said, seeing that she still didn't let go. "Okay, okay, then I'll sit down and eat, okay?"

Hu Shanxiang quickly drank a bowl of porridge and went out. Lingzhi peeled an egg for her to eat on the way.

"Girl, the old lady and the lady didn't ask us to go over there. It would be a bad idea for us to go over there like this, right?" Lingzhi asked worriedly.

"What are you afraid of? I'm just going to pay my respects to my mother. I'm not doing anything else."

"Greetings to mother." Hu Shanxiang went in and bowed to Mrs. Hu.

Aunt Liu beside her stood up and half bowed to her.

Mrs. Hu was very worried when she saw her daughter coming to pay her respects so early in the morning. "You are still sick, why are you coming to pay your respects so early? Why don't you rest well in your room? Sit down quickly."

Hu Shanxiang smiled and said, "I made my parents worried yesterday, but I feel much better when I woke up today."

"That's good."

After Hu Shanxiang sat down, she nodded to Hu Shanji as a greeting.

Mrs. Hu continued the previous topic: "Let's all have dinner at home today. Your eldest brother can invite his son-in-law as well. It will be a rare opportunity for the family to be reunited."

Hu Shanji: "Madam, I want to ask why I can't live at home. My husband goes to the inn, but I, the daughter of this family, can't stay at home either? If I get married, won't my father recognize me as his daughter?"

"What are you talking about? I've already made it very clear to you just now. If you want to live at home, of course you can, but I'm not leaving right after the exam. While I'm waiting for the results, wouldn't it be better to rent a small courtyard for you to live in? I'm afraid I don't want to live at my father-in-law's house before I even enter the officialdom."

"I understand the reason, but I can stay at home for the time being. I haven't seen my aunt for a long time."

"When things are settled, it will be the same when you meet again. There is no rush. During this time, take care of yourself and your son-in-law, and don't worry about the family."

"But……"

"Nothing but..."
