Shen Xie put Lu Ziyue firmly on the bed in the room, and then tucked the quilt for her and sat on the chair next to her.

The smile on his face hadn't faded since he heard the news.

Shen Xie involuntarily shook Lu Ziyue's hand, his eyes were full of concern: "Now that you have my child, we will live a better life, don't be a little temper in the future, tell me anything you want, I will try my best to satisfy you, and I will not let you worry more." ”

His words were full of affection, Lu Ziyue looked at him blankly, he hadn't seen him talk to himself so gently for a long time, and the eyes that had always been sharp were full of soft light at the moment.

She suddenly lowered her head in a daze, but looked at a flat belly, and couldn't imagine that life was being conceived in that place.

A slightly low-pitched voice forced out of his throat: "I don't have anything to ask for, and even if I do, it's just that." ”

After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Shen Xie: "If you are willing to let your father and queen mother have a good place to go and not have to suffer in that cold prison, I will naturally thank you, if you don't want to, I have nothing to complain about." ”

Speaking of this, the corners of her lips rose slightly, and a smile finally appeared on her face that had been suffering for a long time.

"I'm not a cold-hearted person, now that I have a child, then I will live a good life for the sake of the child, at least try to worry as little as possible."

She said this, Shen Xie was naturally happy: "You can think about it, I am naturally happy, I will arrange the affairs of your father and queen mother properly, it is naturally inconvenient for the two of them to be old, they are locked in prison and suffer, and after my enthronement ceremony is over, I will set up a courtyard in the palace for the two of them to live in, and I will do my filial piety on your behalf." ”

Lu Ziyue didn't expect him to agree to his request so decisively, it seems that the blood in her belly did bring her good luck.

With this life in the stomach, you have to be much more confident to negotiate conditions with Shen Xie.

She said, "Thank you so much." ”

"Why do you have to say thank you between you and me, but there is one more important thing at the moment, since you are pregnant, then the time of the enthronement ceremony must be moved forward, otherwise it will not look good when you wear a phoenix robe, you have been with me for five years, and it is time to be able to stand at the highest place in this world in a beautiful manner."

He gently touched her belly, and the warm temperature made his cold hands begin to warm: "I always want the best for you." ”

"Actually, it's not that important to me, I've been born good since I was a child, I was a princess when I was young, and then I married you and then I was the princess Ding, and now I'm a regent princess, I have got everything that a woman in the world dreams of, and what I ask for now, but I will live this life well with you."

She raised her head and looked at Shen Xie, her eyes seemed to be full of stars: "Whether you believe it or not, I really think so in my heart." ”

"Of course I believe it, if it's not early today, you have a good rest, and I'll come to see you tomorrow."

Shen Xie sighed, he originally wanted to accompany Lu Ziyue here tonight, but there were still many things in the court for him to worry about.

Especially when he plans to move the date of the enthronement closer, he has more things to do.

Lu Ziyue naturally knew the reason for this, but she didn't force it.

Shen Xie was very quiet when she left, trying not to make a little noise to disturb Lu Ziyue's rest, and Mu Hua didn't come in, she just sat on the bed alone and stared at the door that had been closed.

She didn't expect that much from this child, and her heart was not as happy as it had been in the words she had just spoken.

She had been so expecting that she and Shen Xie would have a child that belonged to the two of them, but that expectation had long been exhausted in five years.

If this child had come before this incident, she would have been overjoyed and regarded him as a treasure.

But it was stuck at this juncture.

Tears fell involuntarily from her eyes, Shen Xie was there just now, she didn't dare to cry, she didn't dare to let her real emotions leak out.

She could only pretend to be happy, and could only tell Shen Xie that she was full of expectations for this child.

She can't express her true emotions, the huge regent palace, she no longer has anyone she can really trust now.

If Ngapoi was still there, she could still throw herself into Ngapoi's arms and weep, telling her fears and sorrows one by one.

But not now, without Ah Pei, she can only restrain all her sorrows, and there is no one to tell her about the panic of her first pregnancy.

Lu Ziyue involuntarily covered his face with his hands, perhaps because of crying, his body twitched involuntarily.

The days of the night always pass quickly, and perhaps because of pregnancy, Lu Ziyue only felt very tired when she fell asleep.

She got up under Mu Hua's service, washed up and had breakfast.

Xiao Qi was not idle, and came over early in the morning to talk to her.

She brought a bowl of bird's nest to Lu Ziyue, with a smile between her eyebrows: "The princess is different now, and she has to eat more on weekdays." ”

"Okay, but why is it so noisy outside?" She took the bird's nest from Xiao Qi's hand and frowned, "But who is outside?" ”

"It's not important, but the prince called the Ministry of Rites to discuss matters today, but his wife and his daughter also came over, looking at the meaning of the two of them, it should be that they want to give the daughter of the prince as a concubine."

After Xiao Qi finished saying this, he took a special look at Lu Ziyue's expression, and was a little surprised to see that her face was as usual.

Then he asked tentatively, "What does the princess think about this matter?" Although the prince has never liked concubines, his identity will be different soon, and some things are not exempt. ”

"Since you have said that you are not exempt from vulgarity, what is the use of this palace saying this? What's more, whether to marry the daughter of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites or not is not up to the palace, everything depends on the prince's mind, if he is willing, the palace can't say anything, if he is unwilling, the palace is also not easy to say. ”

She took a sip of bird's nest, seemed to remember something, and said: "It's just that even if they want to give their daughter to the prince as a concubine, there is no need to make noise in the regent's palace, but what is the secret of it haven't you told me?" ”

Shen Xie is not a person who likes to be lively, and because of his high position, most of the people in the mansion are very calm, Lu Ziyue has been married for five years, and it is the first time he has met his master sitting in the house, and the slave is noisy outside.

Xiao Qi didn't expect Lu Ziyue to be so keen on the movement outside, she thought for a while before she said: "It's the wife of the Ministry of Rites who is now taking her daughter out to walk around the garden, the most beautiful garden in the Regent's Mansion is on your side, princess, presumably they should be around at the moment, but it's no wonder that it's so noisy, after all, the Ministry of Rites is a first-class Shangshu, and now because of his qualifications, he has become the head of the civil officials, even if it is our prince, he has to give this Shangshu some face." ”

"Face is never something that can be obtained by relying on a person's identity and status, if this Shangshu doesn't know how to converge, it's useless to be a leader."

She finished drinking the bird's nest and stretched, and Mu Hua waited aside, holding a plate of pastries in her hand, which was Lu Ziyue's favorite cheese cake.

After Lu Ziyue ate some, she wanted to go back to the bed and continue to lie down for a while, but the movement outside became louder and louder, as if someone was standing at her door and making noise.

She stood up and looked at the door, Mu Hua put down the pastry in his hand and supported her, and said, "If the princess doesn't like the noise outside, the slave maid will go out now and let them leave." ”

After that, Xiao Qi also said: "It's just the wife of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and she is not so expensive that the princess can give them face." ”

"You two say so, this palace is very curious about this lady of the Ministry of Rites, their daughter actually wants to enter the palace, shouldn't you let this palace see if it fits?"

She smiled slightly, and planned to go out to see the excitement.

There is a garden not far from Lu Ziyue's courtyard, and when she first married into the palace, she thought the palace was too monotonous and had no spring, so she asked her people to plant many famous flowers and trees of the Three Kingdoms.

These flowers and trees are all precious species, so Shen Xie specially sent special personnel to take care of them, and at this moment, most of these personnel are gathered next to Mrs. Shangshu and her daughter of the Ministry of Rites.

They all had a more or less unhappy look on their faces.

The lady of the Ministry of Rites sat under the gazebo in gold and silver, and her daughter's clothes were simpler than hers, not so ornate, but the jewels and beads on her head betrayed her, and were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.

However, the way the mother and daughter get along is a little strange, the mother sits leisurely under the gazebo and drinks tea, but the daughter is standing aside, looking at the timid look on her face, it doesn't seem to look like a lady.

Xiao Qi also saw her doubts, so she explained in a whisper: "The princess doesn't have to be confused, the wife of the Shangshu family in the Ministry of Rites can't have children, so the girl she is carrying now was born to a concubine, but she has been raised by her side since she was a child, and she has been given the identity of a concubine." ”

If you say this, Lu Ziyue will understand, since she is not biological, she will not have a soft light in her eyes for a long time when she is raised by her side, but this is fine, if Shen Xie really wants to take this woman to the harem, it will not cause her any trouble.

After all, she is just a concubine's daughter, even if she occupies the position of a concubine, she can't make any waves.
