The emperor quickly agreed to Shu Heng's request to go to the suburbs of Beijing to live temporarily, but changed the three months of Shu Heng's request to one month, after Ning Xi learned the news, he hurriedly coaxed the maids to pack up their things, because Ning Xi was pregnant with a child, Shu's mother also decided to go with them.

Just when the family was in a hurry to pack their luggage, someone came to the palace, saying that the Queen Mother Xuan Ningxi entered the palace, Ning Xi pursed her lips when she heard this, her eyes were full of resistance, she seemed to have guessed what the Queen Mother announced her. Seeing this, Shu Heng patted Ning Xi's head and said comfortingly: "It's okay, the Queen Mother just misses you, I'll send you over in a while." ”

Ning Xi's eyes drifted down, and he didn't dare to look at Shu Heng, but nodded stiffly.

After Shu Heng sent Ning Xi to the gate of the palace, he rubbed Ning Xi's head and said softly: "Go quickly, I'll wait for you here." ”

Ning Xi looked at Shu Heng, hesitated for a moment, and finally walked in.

In the longevity palace, the queen mother closed her eyes, turned the Buddhist beads in her hand, heard Ning Xi's greeting, slowly opened her eyes, gave Ning Xi a seat, and saw that Ning Xi had been burying her head, looking cautious, the queen mother's eyes flashed, but her expression did not change at all.

"How are you doing in the Marquis of Zhongyi's Mansion lately?"

Hearing the Queen Mother's concerned words, Ning Xi did not have any happy look on his face, and replied coldly: "It's okay." ”

The Queen Mother didn't know that Ning Xi was still complaining about her for what she said last time, but originally there was no deep relationship between her and Ning Xi, Ning Xi complained more about her and less about her, which had little impact on her.

"I heard the emperor say that your family is going to live in the suburbs of Beijing for a while, how can you choose this time to go, isn't it better to wait for the summer to go over?"

Hearing this, Ning Xi raised her head, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "If the Queen Mother wants to ask anything, ask directly, why bother going around in circles with the courtiers." ”

Hearing that Ning Xi's self-proclaimed words had changed, the Queen Mother's eyes still couldn't help but be gloomy for a moment.

"Then the mourning family won't go around in circles with you, recently there has been a change in Jiangnan, Shu Heng is in a hurry to leave Beijing, have you noticed his abnormality?" The Queen Mother quickly sorted out her emotions and spoke calmly.

"Abnormal?" Ning Xi chuckled, with a little mockery and coldness, "I don't know what to call an abnormality, but he has indeed become strange recently." ”

Hearing this, the Queen Mother suddenly grabbed the Buddha beads in her hand, a little worry appeared between her eyebrows, and the curtain in the side room moved slightly, but all Ning Xi's thoughts were on the Queen Mother, and she didn't notice this change. Instead, he continued: "He has recently become verbose and clingy, and he chatters every day, and he is very nervous as soon as the courtiers leave his sight, and I wonder if this is what you call an abnormality. ”

The Queen Mother was secretly relieved when she heard this, but she reprimanded sternly: "I'm not sitting here to listen to your children's affection. ”

"Yes, I thought the Queen Mother was very interested in the affairs of our husband and wife?"

As soon as Ning Xi's words fell, a teacup was shattered with a snap, Ning Xi looked at the fragments of the teacup in front of him, and lowered his eyes slightly.

"Ning Xi, don't you forget your identity?" The angry voice betrays the unhappiness of the voice's owner.

Ning Xi chuckled at the corner of his mouth: "Identity? The county lord, Miss Anguo Mansion, and Mrs. Zhongyihou, I don't know if the queen mother wants the courtiers not to forget which identity, or which identity should the courtiers forget? ”

"Ning Xi! Do you want to rebel against the royal family? The Queen Mother's face became gloomy.

The smile on the corner of Ning Xi's mouth did not change, and he said lightly: "How dare you?" The courtiers will not forget that they are members of the royal family, if the courtier's husband really betrays the royal family, the courtiers will definitely not cover up, but now, can you ask the high-ranking queen mother to give the courtier's husband a little more trust. ”

After speaking, the Queen Mother's expression improved a little, but she was still angry, and she didn't say anything, Ning Xi thought about it, and then continued: "The reason why the husband wants to move outside Beijing to live for a period of time is just to make the courtiers happy, and the courtiers have been pregnant for more than two months. ”

The Queen Mother was stunned, a little joy flashed in her eyes, and her tone couldn't help but be a little urgent: "Are you really pregnant?" ”

Ning Xi thought that the Queen Mother's urgency was not convinced, and her voice couldn't help but be a little colder, and said, "If you don't believe it, you can call a doctor to take my pulse." ”

The Queen Mother restrained the joy in her heart, and said in a cold voice: "Since Shu Heng has no other intentions, then the mourning family can rest assured, you can go over and recuperate for a while." ”

Ning Xi responded in a low voice, and the Queen Mother let her out of the palace.

After Ning Xi left, a person walked out of the side room, and it was the current saint.

The Queen Mother didn't look at him, but said directly: "Now, you should rest assured." ”

The emperor nodded, and then said to the Queen Mother with some guilt: "I don't want to do this, it's just that Shu Heng picked this sensitive time to take leave, and I have to guard against it." ”

The Queen Mother looked at the emperor at this time, and turned the Buddha beads in her hand again: "Then I don't know if the emperor doesn't believe in Pingle Shicai's words?" ”

The emperor chuckled: "Naturally, I believe it." ”

"Oh~." The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, "The emperor believes in Pingle like this? Aren't you afraid she's lying? ”

Hearing this, the emperor said generously: "Pingle can be regarded as I grew up, I still know a little bit of her temperament, she is an emotional child, although she resists in her heart, she will never betray her relatives." ”

"It's also hard for that child, and now that I'm still pregnant with a child, I have to think about it so much." The Queen Mother spoke again, and her tone did not fluctuate.

When the emperor heard this, he felt even more guilty, and hurriedly said: "In the future, I will take care of her more." ”

After getting the emperor's words, the queen mother was relieved, but said on her face: "Since she is the lord of the county, she must solve problems for the royal family, this is what she should do, even if you don't compensate her, even if the emperor doesn't compensate her, she can't complain about you." ”

The emperor smiled and said: "Queen Mother, don't use words to provoke the sons, this matter is indeed unkind to the sons, if there is a chance in the future, the sons will definitely compensate for Pingle, but let the queen mother bear Pingle's grievances for the sons, and the sons are really unfilial." ”

"What if the mourning family bears it for you, the mourning family is now old, and I just want to see the peace of my family and country, and the happiness of my children and grandchildren."

Then the two talked for a while, and the emperor left.

As soon as Ning Xi left the palace, he saw Shu Heng standing in front of the carriage looking at the gate of the palace, and when he saw Ning Xi coming out, he hurriedly greeted him, and helped Ning Xi's hand to look back.

When the two of them sat in the carriage, Ning Xi saw that Shu Heng still didn't speak, but he was a little anxious: "Eh, don't you ask me, did the Queen Mother say something to me?" ”

Shu Heng smiled, his departure from Beijing at this time will inevitably arouse the emperor's suspicions, the emperor's bad things are naturally the work of the queen mother, he can already guess what the queen mother said, but he can't say this, lest Ning Xi think nonsense, so he said: "What is there to ask, I guess the queen mother just heard that we are going to live in the suburbs of Beijing for a while, and told you to take care of your body and other things." ”

Ning Xi looked at Shu Heng with a smile on his face, pursed his lips, and finally hummed. Then he said: "I told the Queen Mother about my pregnancy." ”

Shu Heng rubbed Ning Xi's head: "This is not a matter of seeing anyone, just say it, besides, the Queen Mother is your grandmother, and it is right to inform her about this." ”

Ning Xi nodded again, and on the second day, Shu Heng and his party packed up their things and went to the outskirts of Beijing.
