After experiencing the change of imperial power, the magnates and female dependents who can still hold high positions and are qualified to enter the palace to spend the Shangyuan Festival with the emperor and queen are all shrewd people who have experienced the world.

The relationship between the queen mother and the Weiguo Mansion seems to be showing signs of discord, which is unusual that they can all sniff.

But this is unusual, under the indifference of the emperor and the empress, none of them dare to come forward and mention it at will.

Therefore, in the absence of the Weiguo Mansion family, the civil and military officials all wore smiling faces as if they hadn't seen it, trying their best to integrate themselves with the jubilant atmosphere of the Lumen Palace.

Bai Chenghuan sat next to Xiao Shaotang, looking at the ministers in the hall from above, his heart became more and more depressed, and after raising a glass to congratulate the ladies a few times, he leaned on the soft backrest and quietly distracted.

In the corner of the main hall, the Waste Emperor Xihaihou looked at Bai Chenghuan with an uncertain expression-

Could it be that Xiao Shaotang treats her badly? Why is her face so ugly?

Because he was almost under house arrest in the Xihai Hou Mansion, Xiao Shaoyun didn't know anything about what happened between Bai Chenghuan and the Weiguo Mansion.

But he faintly felt that Bai Chenghuan's face was very similar to his previous life, when they had just had their first child!

At that time, Cheng Huan had morning sickness all day long, and his spirit was also sluggish every time he beat him.

Don't...... As if someone had grabbed his heart fiercely, Xiao Shaoyun lowered his head and raised his right hand to cover his heart-

Why? Everything he was looking for in his previous life and this life didn't get it in the end, but Xiao Shaotang easily had everything!

Wei Wan sat on the side of the female dependent, and also kept looking at Xiao Shaoyun, with a cold smile on the corner of her mouth.

I've seen other people's beauties in my arms, and I don't doubt my affection, but I still can't let go?

Since you can't let go, you can only be tortured!

And the wife of Zhu Siming, the head of the household department, glanced at Mrs. Chen beside her, and the thoughts that originally wanted to warm up with the queen for a few words stopped.

The queen's face was really not very good, although it was calm and soft, it looked like she was a little exhausted.

They all secretly wondered in their hearts - the queen mother is now the only one in the harem of Daqi, with the emperor's favor in every way, and everything goes well, even if she is estranged from the Weiguo Mansion, it won't be like this, right?

The ladies all noticed it, and Xiao Shaotang, who was sitting next to Bai Chenghuan, naturally noticed it.

He reached out from under the table and silently took her hand:

"Do you feel tired? If you are tired, go back and rest. ”

"No, the banquet has just begun, wouldn't it be reproachful for me to go back at this time?"

Since he is the queen, Bai Chenghuan will not shirk the responsibilities of the queen.

Xiao Shaotang stroked her sideburns with pity:

"It's okay, you're pregnant, you should have rested more, who can say anything?"

"But others don't know......"

"They'll find out soon. ”

Xiao Shaotang's smile was unpredictable, and Bai Chenghuan was confused:

"You ......"

At this time, when the singing and dancing stopped, and suddenly quieted down in the hall, a kind voice suddenly sounded:

"The courtiers don't seem to look very good at the queen's mother, but she is not feeling well?

Bai Chenghuan followed the prestige, a woman in her forties, dressed in the uniform of the princess of the county, with a concerned face, it was the princess of Anxi County.

Bai Chenghuan felt a little strange in his heart, Princess Anxi County has always been a taciturn elder, why is it ...... at this time

On the other hand, Xiao Shaotang had already said with a smile:

"The queen is three months pregnant, so she will feel tired these days. ”

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the queen!"

The atmosphere in the main hall froze for a short moment, and then everyone came back to their senses in the joyful congratulations of the princess of Anxi County, and they all got up to congratulate.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the queen!"

The two emperors before and after, only now have the news of the first heir, for the country and the family, this should be a great news!

No matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, they are still beaming on the surface.

Xiao Shaotang also nodded and said:

"Yes, this is a great joy! I told the secretaries tonight that I want to congratulate them with all the lovers!"

"The queen is pregnant with a dragon heir, and it is also very hard, if you really feel tired, why don't you go back and rest first?"

In the uproar, it was still the princess of Anxi County who took the lead in speaking.

Bai Chenghuan had already realized at this time that this must have been discussed by Xiao Shaotang with the king of Anxi County in advance.

At this time, since the princess of Anxi County said this, she was not willing to hold on any longer, so she nodded and said:

"This palace is really tired, so let's go and rest for a while, and I ask for your forgiveness for the rudeness. ”

"The queen's phoenix body is important, how can you talk about rudeness!

Not only the princess of Anxi County, but also the first-class female dependents, including Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Chen, all stood up one after another to express their understanding.

I felt very satisfied with the queen's politeness in my heart.

When the imperial power is weak, even if you are the queen, you have to please your subordinates and daughters, but at this time, the new emperor's authority is at its peak, and he is also favored by the queen, and the queen can still be so humble, which can show a person's character even more.

Bai Chenghuan nodded, and Xiao Shaotang also stood up and wanted to send her back in person.

Bai Chenghuan deliberately refused, but he couldn't resist Xiao Shaotang, so he could only personally help him out of the Lumen Palace.

When he walked out of the main hall door, Xiao Shaotang deliberately glanced back.

Xiao Shaoyun's face was as cold as ten thousand years of ice, and now Wei Wan, the wife of the Marquis of Xihai, never got up to send them off.

As if sensing his gaze, Xihaihou raised his head and looked directly at him.

Xiao Shaotang smiled at Xihaihou before leaving with Bai Chenghuan.

The most relieving thing in the world is really not to let a hated person die.

Instead, let him live in this world, watching them love each other and have children and grandchildren.

He doesn't know everything to cherish, naturally someone will cherish it.

And Bai Chenghuan only glanced at Xiao Shaotang beside him from beginning to end, and never looked back.

As soon as the emperor and empress left, the hall that had just been solemn immediately became like a pot of boiling water, and it was bustling and noisy.

"The queen mother is really a blessing, she has just ascended the phoenix throne, and she has a dragon heir, the grace of this life, needless to say!"

"Who's to say it's not? It's a pity that this favor can't be shared with anyone else!"

There are ministers and daughters muttering in private, not to mention the envy and jealousy in their hearts, but only those careful thoughts that have been suppressed, and they can't help but live.

It's just that the female dependents still have differences.

"It is said that if this woman is pregnant, she has to take concubines for her husband, if the queen is sensible, should she also choose a few concubines for the emperor?"

"Eh, Mrs. Li, don't say that soon! Didn't your Lord Li tell you when he went home? The emperor said that whoever lets him be drafted will take the silver, and those of us who are subjects will have extra silver to fill in!"

"I didn't say that I wanted to be drafted, I just said that I would pick some good women from the eunuch family to serve the emperor in the palace, isn't this also a worry for the queen?"

"Then the queen mother is willing! Think about it, it was rumored that the queen mother was jealous, and the emperor didn't mean that, who would dare to fight this idea, but the bamboo basket was empty!"

Although the ladies were all talking in low voices, Mrs. Zhang could also vaguely listen to it.

From the moment the emperor clearly announced to the minister that the queen was pregnant, her heart was like a big stone, and listening to these people's messy discussions at this time, she couldn't help but feel mixed joys and sorrows.

The queen is pregnant, shouldn't she choose someone to serve the emperor again?

As a woman, who didn't come over like this? Besides, this is still royal, is there an exception?

After thinking about it, the determination that was originally only five points gradually became seven points.

It's just that all the people in the Weiguo Mansion are closed these days, and she is turned away when she goes to the door.

I have to find a way to see my sister-in-law first.

Over there, Mrs. Li, saw that her daughter was gone, so she hurriedly followed her out and went directly to Huaqing Palace.

In view of the fact that the banquet was still going on, Xiao Shaotang sent Bai Chenghuan to Huaqing Palace, and after some advice, he had to hurriedly return to the Lumen Palace.

When Li arrived, Xiao Shaotang was leaving in a hurry.

"Huan Niang, where do you tell your mother that you are uncomfortable?"

Because he was too worried, the Li family didn't even bother to give the monarch and minister's courtesy, and blurted out his daughter's name.

"It's just a little sleepy, so don't worry about it. ”

Seeing Li coming, Bai Chenghuan also felt a lot more relieved, and leaned lazily on Li's side, looking sleepy.

She has to sleep well, otherwise she won't have the energy to go out for a night trip at night.

Li Shi suddenly felt very distressed, so he personally removed the hairpin ring for her, wrapped her tightly, held her in his arms and patted it gently:

"That mother is here to accompany you, you say well, when you fall asleep, your mother will go out of the palace again. ”

"Don't go, mother, just live in the palace......"

Bai Chenghuan muttered lowly, and after a while, the upper and lower eyelids began to fight, and he fell asleep next to the Li family.

Li looked down at his daughter's sleeping face, and suddenly couldn't help but feel sad.

In fact, she can see that she is tired today, which is obviously because she is physically and mentally exhausted when she hides her heart these days.

With such a well-behaved and lovely daughter, how could the family of the Weiguo Mansion be so ruthless that it would make her sad?

If you didn't want to accept this daughter at the beginning, don't let this stupid child take out a heart for them, but now they are discarded like this!

Even she, the mother-in-law, didn't know how to persuade her.

In the silence, Li rubbed his daughter's increasingly thin little face, and whispered in her ear:

"Huan Niang, forget it, my mother just wants you to be happy......"

There was no queen to preside, and all the ladies were silent for a while in front of the emperor.

Such an atmosphere can't help but be a little awkward.

So the palace banquet of the Shangyuan Festival did not last too long and ended.

The ministers and ladies left the palace one after another and went home, but Xiao Shaotang kept on his feet and went back to Huaqing Palace directly.

When Li saw that the emperor had returned, it was not good to stay aside, so he saluted and retired.

Xiao Shaotang kept it, and the Li family still insisted on leaving the palace.

When she is not at home for a while, the servants at home can be negligent and cause trouble for Cheng Huan, and now she no longer dares not to go home for two days in a row.

Bai Chenghuan slept until it was dark, and the reason why he was able to wake up was because he smelled the aroma of food.

"I'm hungry......"

As the child in her womb grew up, Bai Chenghuan also began to feel hungry in her womb.

On the side of the bed, Xiao Shaotang was looking down at her, holding the porridge bowl with his hand, which had just been removed.

"What are you doing here?

Bai Chenghuan blinked, he didn't see Li's figure, and he was a little confused about what Xiao Shaotang was doing.

"Naturally, I want to see if you are still awake, and I want to see if I can wake you up with food! Mrs. Qiuguo went out of the palace and said that she would come to see you tomorrow. Hurry up and have dinner, and when you're full, I'll take you out of the palace. ”

Xiao Shaotang said with a smile.

Bai Chenghuan couldn't help but feel funny:

"It's time, you just wake me up, what's the trouble?"

After speaking, he lifted the quilt and climbed up sharply:

"Then it's not too late for us to finish dinner and leave the palace again, right?"

"It's not too late, it's not too late, you take your time. ”

So the two had dinner together, and Bai Chenghuan was tightly wrapped in Shaohui, looking like a big brown child.

"I don't want to wear such a thick one!" Bai Chenghuan resisted, like a child.

But at this time, he was ruthlessly suppressed by Xiao Shaotang:

"You have to wear it like this, or I won't take you out!"

Bai Chenghuan had no choice but to flatten his mouth, and reluctantly agreed.

In the night, an ordinary-looking carriage ran over the road of the imperial city and left the palace.

It wasn't until he left the imperial city, quietly opened the door of the carriage, and looked outside, that Bai Chenghuan looked at the white world, and suddenly felt that something was wrong:

"With such a heavy snowfall, will the streets of the capital still be lively in previous years?"

"Yes, since it is the Shangyuan Festival, I, the emperor, naturally want to have fun with the people. You can rest assured, the main street of the capital has already been cleaned by the government, and tonight's excitement will not be inferior to that of previous years!"

Sure enough, the carriage went forward for a while, and Bai Chenghuan saw a brilliant glass world.

On the main road of the capital, the snow has long been cleared, and the wide road on both sides is still as lively and noisy as the previous Shangyuan Festival.

Selling lanterns, selling food, selling all kinds of interesting and delicate gadgets, all kinds of small stalls are lined up on both sides, and the lanterns are strung together one by one into two long dragons, almost flying towards the sky above the capital.

Even if there are patrols from the Five Cities Terracotta Division, in order to prevent fires on both sides of the road, they can't stop the interest of the people of the capital to have fun, and there are people everywhere, and laughter fills the entire street.

In just two months, the people of the capital quickly returned to their prosperous era from the shadows of the war clouds.

No one knows what a powerful soul such an ant-like creature has.

"Xiao Shaotang, it's good to see such a country and people's peace. ”

Bai Chenghuan took Xiao Shaotang's hand, walked in the bustling crowd, and sighed sincerely.

She insisted on going out of the palace to join in the excitement, just yearning for this fireworks in the world.

"We, as well as our children, will watch this kind of national peace and security for the rest of our lives. ”

Xiao Shaotang firmly protected her and walked through the crowded crowd.

The country and the people are safe, and the years are quiet, this is their common wish.

Not far behind them, Feng Jinniang looked at their figures in a daze, and the lantern she was holding in her hand was almost thrown to the ground by her.
