On the carriage on the return journey, Ye closed his eyes and recuperated, and there was a faint tiredness between his eyebrows.

Xu Jinyu looked at Ye Shi and thought secretly in her heart.

Queen Ye is so jealous of the Ye family, which shows that the emperor is quite concerned about the Ye family. I don't know what the Ye family said when they met the emperor privately today, will it have something to do with Chen Yuanzhao?

Just thinking about it, Ye suddenly opened his eyes.

Xu Jinyu's gaze met Ye unexpectedly, suddenly a little embarrassed, coughed, and broke the silence: "Mother-in-law must be very tired today, take a good night's rest after going back." ”

Ye Shi tugged at the corners of his lips lightly, mumbled, and then disappeared.

Xu Jinyu quickly lowered her eyes, lest her eyes become more and more embarrassed.

Xu Jinyu not only knows Chen Yuanzhao's life experience, but also knows about her and the emperor's affairs. She secretly had a private meeting with the emperor today, and Xu Jinyu must have guessed it. can bear not to say a word, it can be seen that his heart is cultivated.

Ye was full of worries, and suddenly opened his mouth to confide: "Jin Niang, aren't you curious about where I went this afternoon?" ”

Xu Jinyu was stunned for a moment, but she concealed it very well, and when she raised her head, she was already calm: "Mother-in-law must have something important." If you want to say it, I'll tell you. If the mother-in-law is unwilling to say it, there must be a reason why she can't say it. ”

Sure enough, he is a smart and clever person.

There was a little smile in Ye's eyes, and he felt that he didn't need to say anything. With Xu Jinyu's cleverness, I'm afraid I have already guessed what she said to the emperor

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law tacitly smiled at each other, and put the matter aside very tacitly. Casual gossip

Ye held his temper and quietly waited for the emperor's reply.

One day, two days, three days passed like a stream, and in the blink of an eye, more than two months passed.

It's been a year. Xu Jinyu's stomach was like a blown ball, quickly bulging. My hands and feet are also gradually swollen, and it is difficult to go out and walk around.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Ye entered the palace alone and did not bring Xu Jinyu with him.

Not long after Ye arrived at Yanfu Palace, the emperor also came.

Queen Ye gritted her teeth angrily, and still didn't show anything in front of the emperor. even took the initiative to arrange a meeting place for the emperor and the Ye family.

Just like she's been doing for so many years!

I only hope that the emperor can appreciate her virtuous and painstaking efforts, feel more guilty and grateful to her as a queen, and take more care of the king of Chu.

She was originally full of confidence in the King of Chu as the prince. But in the past half a year, the King of Wei has been sharp, secretly wooing the henchmen of the King of Qin and making friends with the courtiers. Handling court affairs has shown a shrewd and capable side. The king of Chu occupies the position of heir. is only comparable to King Wei.

Such a situation was unexpected, and it also made Queen Ye, who was confident, vigilant and uneasy. However, King Wei's biological mother died early, but she was the queen of the dynasty. This advantage is also where the king of Wei is difficult to reach the king of Chu. Empress Ye tried her best to plan for the King of Chu, so she naturally wanted to give full play to this advantage.

This time, the emperor and the Ye family spent more time alone than the last time. A whole hour.

In this hour, Queen Ye was uneasy as if she was on pins and needles. You have to pretend to be casual and perfunctory and flattering to the palace concubines.

Looking at the coquettish faces, Queen Ye thought sarcastically. The woman who was really put in the emperor's heart had already married An Guogong, although she gave birth to the emperor's bloodline, she would never see the light of day in this life.

Ye Jun! In this life, you are destined to only meet the emperor secretly, and the person who can sit on the phoenix chair and accept the concubines to bow down will always be me!

An hour later, the "unwell" Ye appeared.

To do a full set of plays, Ye knows this truth very well.

When he appeared in front of everyone, Ye's face was a little pale, and he smiled apologetically: "The concubine accidentally caught a cold last night, her body was weak, and she couldn't stand for a long time. ”

Empress Ye immediately said with concern: "My sister is unwell, don't stay up in the palace, let's go back to the house first!" ”

Ye thanked him gratefully, and then retired and left.

Queen Ye got up in person, sent Ye out of Yanfu Palace, and when she parted, she held Ye's hand affectionately and advised: "After my sister returns home, you have to rest well, don't hurt your vitality." ”

After speaking, he leaned forward slightly, and quickly whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Ye Jun, don't you want to make trouble under my nose!" Otherwise, I will never let you go! ”

"Xie Niangniang cares," Ye Shi responded with a quiet smile, and also whispered: "You, the dignified queen, do you still need to be afraid that I will make trouble in secret?" ”

A trace of gloom quickly flashed in Empress Ye's eyes.

After the Ye family left, Queen Ye returned to Yanfu Palace.

The emperor, who had been "resting" for a long time, had also returned to the main hall. Accompany his wife, concubines, children and grandchildren to enjoy singing and dancing.

Empress Ye secretly paid attention to the emperor's expression, and was secretly suspicious in her heart. What did the emperor say to the Ye family?

At this age, Queen Ye has looked down on her feelings a lot. Whether Ye invited pets or not, she didn't particularly care. What she really cares about is the emperor's concern for Ye's mother and son

On the fifteenth day of the first day of each month, the emperor should stay in Yanfu Palace as usual. However, in recent years, the emperor has rarely set foot in the harem, and this rule has become a fictitious rule.

It was probably Queen Ye's virtuous and generous performance that aroused the emperor's guilt, and she rarely stayed in Yanfu Palace that night.

Of course, Empress Ye would not let go of such a good opportunity to perform, and ordered the imperial dining room to prepare the emperor's favorite supper, and personally served the emperor with supper. He also specially ordered two young and beautiful palace maids to serve the emperor to bathe and change clothes.

Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Queen Ye pretended to ask casually: "The emperor has been alone with his sister for so long today, I don't know what to say?" ”

The emperor was very vigilant, and quickly glanced at Queen Ye: "Why did you suddenly ask about this?" ”

Queen Ye has always been virtuous and generous, knowledgeable and interesting. For so many years. never talked much about him and Ye's affairs.

This is also one of the important reasons why Queen Ye has been able to sit peacefully as a queen for so many years.

Seeing the emperor's reaction like this, Empress Ye's heart sank suddenly, and her face immediately showed a panicked expression: "The concubine just asks casually." Nothing else. If you offend the emperor, please forgive the emperor! ”

The emperor's expression was faint: "Since you didn't mean to ask, I won't blame you, you don't have to be nervous." It's getting late, so let's settle it! ”

Queen Ye lowered her head aggrievedly and said yes

Ye entered the palace this time, what did the emperor say to her?

Xu Jinyu is the same as Queen Ye. I was also silently thinking about this question. The difference is that Xu Jinyu will never open her mouth to ask Ye, so as not to embarrass herself if she is bored.

The Ye family has a city government. When he came back, he looked the same as usual, and he couldn't see anything at all.

The Ye family never mentioned anything about entering the palace this time, so Xu Jinyu just didn't know about it and didn't ask a word.

Now her belly is getting bigger. The face is also rounded. When looking in the mirror. I feel strange and awkward. Fat and ugly! It's like a different person.

Xu Jinyu laughed self-deprecatingly: "Fortunately, Zixi is not in the capital, so I didn't see what I look like now." ”

Chu Xia immediately smiled and comforted: "Women are like this when they are pregnant, even if my uncle comes back, I won't dislike Miss." The slave maid looks at the young lady every day, and it is pleasing to the eye. ”

So, she's really ugly now!

Xu Jinyu's sigh lasted less than a moment, and when Rue Xiang hurriedly came in with Chen Yuanzhao's letter, she suddenly felt excited and happy. Leave all the horrors behind.

The border pass is far away, and it is inconvenient to send family letters. It's not easy to get a letter from home every month.

Xu Jinyu couldn't wait to open the letter and read it carefully.

Rue and Chu Xia retreated very tacitly. Every time I receive a letter from Chen Yuanzhao, it is when Xu Jinyu is the happiest. At this time, the two of them should not stay aside

Ah Yu, see the letter is like a letter.

The border war is urgent, and there are battles almost every two or three days. With the support of the Divine Guard, the situation at the border is good. If nothing else, the battle will be over soon. When the spring flowers bloom, I will be able to lead the troops back to Beijing.

You're okay now! Is the child honest in the belly? Did it toss you? I regret not being able to be by your side.

Finally, there are the familiar words "looking forward to the letter".

Xu Jinyu read the letter several times before sighing with satisfaction, and muttered a complaint: "It's rare to write a letter to the family, can't you write it longer?" It's really unbelievable to say a few dry words like this every time! ”

Then, he picked up his pen and wrote a reply.

Her style of writing is very different from that of Chen Yuanzhao. Chen Yuanzhao has always had only a few sentences, and never talked about wars and the like. Her family letters are very trivial and meticulous, and she writes all the big and small things. It took more than an hour, five or six pages of letterhead, folded and put in an envelope, and a bulging one.

Xu Jinyu opened his mouth and called Rue Xiang in: "Rue Xiang, give the letter to the pro-soldiers, let him rest for one night, and send it to the border tomorrow." ”

Rue Xiang snorted, and when she took the thick envelope, she couldn't help but smile dumbly: "Every time the general writes a letter, it is thin. The young grandmother's reply was several times thicker. ”

Xu Jinyu also laughed and quipped back: "Don't you write a letter to Zhou Cong?" Anyway, someone sent a letter to the border gate, and just piggyback on it along the way. ”

Rue Xiang suddenly blushed, and quickly retreated in Xu Jinyu's laughter.

Xu Jinyu sent a letter to Chen Yuanzhao. She has nothing to do with Zhou Cong, how embarrassed is she to write a family letter!

After sending away the family letter, Xu Jinyu waited for the next family letter in a long day.

No way, it's too idle.

Reading books hurts his eyes, doing embroidery hurts his eyes, under Ye's explicit prohibition, Xu Jinyu eats and sleeps all day long, and her life and rest are similar to some happy animals

When Zou and Xu Zheng came to visit Xu Jinyu, they were also shocked.

"Sister," Xu Zheng glanced at Xu Jinyu, his eyes were full of smiles: "Looking at your current appearance, my mother and I are also relieved." ”

It's white and chubby, and it looks like it's delicious and sleepy!

Xu Jinyu understood very well what Xu Zheng was laughing at, and couldn't help but sneer: "Big brother, you also come to laugh at me." Saying that, he complained to the Zou family again: "Mother, look at the eldest brother, make fun of me for getting fat and ugly." ”

Zou laughed and coaxed Xu Jinyu: "Women are pregnant like this. When I was pregnant with your brother and sister, I was also fat. When I have a baby, I will recover soon. ”

It's also fat

She's really too fat now! Even Zou said so!

Xu Jinyu looked down at her hands, the originally slender and slender fingers were now round and round. Xu Jinyu couldn't help but sigh: "If Zixi comes back now, I'm afraid he won't recognize me." ”

Xu Zheng and Zou were amused.

After laughing and laughing, Xu Jinyu asked with concern: "Big brother, there is still more than a month before the sister-in-law should give birth!" ”

Speaking of Cao Ying, Xu Zheng's expression became softer and softer: "Well, she is also very bulky now, and she refuses to look in the mirror." Actually, I think she is much more beautiful now than when she was newly married. ”

Xu Jinyu looked at Xu Zheng's gentle expression, and couldn't help but think of Chen Yuanzhao in her heart.

If Chen Yuanzhao was by her side, he would not mind her current appearance at all like Xu Zheng

The thoughts that were suppressed in the bottom of my heart quietly overflowed my heart.

Xu Zheng has always been careful and keen, and he seemed to be aware of Xu Jinyu's thoughts, and said in a low voice: "Sister, Chen Yuanzhao has been gone for almost half a year!" Did he write you a letter home? ”

Actually, Xu Zheng should call Chen Yuanzhao a brother-in-law. But he couldn't shout out, and General Chen was too distant, so he simply called him by his name.

Xu Jinyu nodded: "I also received one half a month ago." ”

Xu Zheng asked: "Did he tell you about the war at the border in the letter?" ”

Xu Jinyu smiled helplessly: "He is probably afraid that I will be worried, and he rarely mentions these things in his letters." Say something once in a while, and only say some good news. ”

The real news of the war is also known to the whole Anguo Mansion, but with the Ye family, these news are firmly blocked, and they can't reach her ears at all.

She stayed in Moyuanju every day, ignoring what was going on outside the window, and devoted herself to eating and growing meat to nourish the fetus

"Big brother, why did you suddenly talk about this, did you hear any news?" Xu Jinyu quickly came back to her senses and asked with a frown.

Xu Zheng smiled calmly: "There have been good news from the border gates, and the two lost cities have been recaptured. Looking at this, within two months, Chen Yuanzhao will be able to lead the Divine Guard Army back to Beijing. ”

Xu Jinyu glanced at Xu Zheng with some confusion: "Is that all?" Big brother, did you hear anything else and didn't tell me? ”

Xu Zheng flatly denied it.

Xu Jinyu knew Xu Zheng too well, and when she saw him react like this, her heart secretly moved.

Xu Zheng must be hiding something from her
