Although there are not many rules in the Shangguan Zimo family, the people who eat here have excellent etiquette, and they do a very good job of eating and sleeping.

Shen Xie ate very happily this meal, and from time to time he would turn his head to look at Lu Ziyue sitting next to him, and he always had a faint smile in his eyes.

Lu Ziyue occasionally glanced back once or twice, and the atmosphere between the two of them became extremely fast, Shangguan Zimo and Shangguan Madame didn't notice it, but Xiao Qi felt very strange.

But these things are not something she can ask casually.

I finished my meal earnestly.

After the meal, Mrs. Shangguan asked people to send sour plum soup, now in summer, the air is hot and dry, the young lady and wife of a large family have been pampered since childhood, and the most unbearable thing is this summer.

She gave the first bowl and the second bowl brought by the servant to Shen Xie Lu Ziyue respectively, and then handed it to Shangguan Zimo, followed by herself and Xiao Qi.

"I don't usually like to eat these sweet and sour things, but today I don't know why, but I feel very appetizing."

Lu Ziyue took a sip, the stuffy feeling in her chest disappeared, she had a rare smile on her face, and then she drank all the bowls directly.

She moved so quickly that the other three were a little surprised.

Shen Xie patted her back with some worry, and frowned: "You don't like to eat these before, what's wrong today?" But his health is not good. ”

After that, he looked at Mrs. Shangguan, who had always been sitting on the side: "I don't know if there is a doctor in Shangguan Mansion?" ”

Lu Ziyue didn't expect that her appetite was just a little better today, and Shen Xie suspected that something was wrong with her body, she put the bowl down and shook her head and looked at Shen Xie: "There's no need to make such a fuss, maybe I just ate too much rice and felt greasy, so I wanted to drink two more bowls of sour plum soup to relieve my greasy." ”

After that, he looked at Mrs. Shangguan with some doubts: "I don't know how Mrs. Madame's sour plum soup is made, I drank a bowl today and think it tastes very good, but what is the secret in it?" ”

Mrs. Shangguan was still a little worried about Lu Ziyue's body, but seeing that she could still ask herself calmly about the method of sour plum soup, she also put her mind at ease and said: "I don't know very well, this sour plum soup is made by the chef in my small kitchen, if you really want to know the princess regent, I will call him to the princess regent tomorrow, and I will communicate with the chef of the regent's palace, I heard that there is a dish of stewed duck in the regent's palace that is particularly delicious, if the princess is willing, it is better to hand over the method of braised duck to my cook." ”

"What's wrong with this, delicious things are meant to be shared with everyone, how can there be a monopoly reason? But this sour plum soup of yours does taste good, and I want to drink another bowl. ”

She smiled and handed over the bowl that had been drunk, and Shen Xie saw that she was indeed fine, so she was relieved.

However, he looked at the bowl of sour plum soup in front of him and lost any desire to drink, and when he looked at Guan Zimo, and really wanted to invite him to the study to talk about business, Lu Ziyue's face suddenly changed.

The empty bowl she was holding in her hand fell to the ground, her right hand involuntarily clutched her chest, and half of her body hooked down as if she were vomiting.

"Vomit ......"

Her symptoms came suddenly, and several people present were a little surprised, and Shen Xie's face changed and he directly supported her body.

"What's wrong?"

He straightened her body, and found that Lu Ziyue's face had become extremely pale in just a minute or two, and all the kung fu she had just done was retching.

"If the princess regent is not feeling well, it is better to rest in the warm pavilion first, there are ice cubes in it, and there will be no heat in the summer."

Shangguan Zimo stood up and looked at Mrs. Shangguan who was standing aside, and saw that there was a little doubt in her eyebrows, so he patted her shoulder without any strength: "What's wrong?" You can't give up, but you are also unwell. ”

"Not really." Mrs. Shangguan shook her head, she slightly squeezed the silk handkerchief in her hand, glanced at Lu Ziyue's stomach, and said, "Maybe Lord Wang, you should really find a doctor to take a closer look, but you need to find the kind of doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating women's bodies." ”

After she finished speaking, the faces of several people present changed, especially Shen Xie, who was already worried about a lot in his heart, he lined up to look at Mrs. Shangguan, and couldn't help but tighten his arms a little and hugged Lu Ziyue tightly.

"What does this mean, Madam Shangguan? Could it be that you know how the princess is. ”

He was anxious, and there was inevitably a bit of displeasure and anger in his tone.

Shangguan Zimo is not a man who has done nothing, he stood in front of Mrs. Shangguan at this time, and took away most of Shen Xie's eyesight for her.

This small detail fell into Xiao Qi's eyes on the side, which really surprised her slightly.

He always knew that Shangguan Zimo loved his wife at home, but he didn't know that he was willing to stand in front of his wife at such a critical juncture to dispel the terrifying eyes of others for his wife.

And most importantly, his movements are so subtle that you can't see them at all if you don't look closely.

So Mrs. Shangguan didn't know this, but pursed her lips slightly and said: "The regent doesn't have to worry so much, if the courtiers didn't guess wrong, the princess regent should be pregnant, but this conjecture came suddenly, I still have to ask the princess regent, have you felt unwell recently?" ”

After she finished speaking, she glanced at the maid who was standing not far away: "You go and invite Dr. Lin, who is serving in the mansion, to come over and check the pulse of the princess regent." ”

Shen Xie and Shangguan Zimo didn't expect Mrs. Shangguan to have such a conjecture, especially Shen Xie, although he was a little surprised and uncertain, but his eyes bloomed with great joy, he lowered his head and looked at the woman in his arms, seeing if she would purse her mouth in some pain, guessing in his heart that she was still suffering because of the vomiting just now.

But I didn't look carefully at the pale face.

Doctor Lin from Shangguan Mansion came soon, he was an old doctor with gray hair and beard, carrying a medicine box in his hand, looking at the light on the outside of the wood, he knew that this medicine box must have been used for a long time.

Doctor Lin is the oldest, and his movements are indeed very fast, and after he took out the things to check the pulse from the medicine box, he seriously gave Lu Ziyue the pulse.

The high-ranking family has never been a place to hide secrets, not to mention that Shangguan Zimo never planned to hide the news that Shen Xie and Lu Ziyue came to their house to eat today.

The news may be closed in the capital, and it will take a while to reach the ears of all those who have a heart, but the Shangguan Mansion did not take so much time.

At least one meal, everyone knew that the regent and the princess regent were coming.

Lu Ziyue's hands trembled slightly, her current state was much better than just now, but her face was still unusually pale.

She bit the fine flesh between her lips, looked at Dr. Lin with a little fear in her eyes, and her voice trembled slightly: "Doctor Lin, is this palace really pregnant?" ”

"Yes, it can be seen from the pulse of the princess that this child should be three months old."

He put the things that were diagnosed into the medicine box, bent over and said: "The princess Niangniang's body is healthy, but she has been overthinking recently, so some of the characteristics that should have been during pregnancy have been temporarily suppressed, if it weren't for today's sour plum soup that made the princess Niangniang have some premonitions of morning sickness, I'm afraid that the child in the womb will not be found for a while." ”

After he finished speaking, he said: "But it's not a big deal, as long as the grass people wait for a while to prescribe a few pairs of fetal pills for the princess to drink, it will not affect the growth of the child in the belly." ”

He was full of respect every word, and every word made the three people in front of him feel a little happy in their hearts, but this word also made Lu Ziyue's heart fall to the bottom inch by inch.

She involuntarily reached out and stroked her still flat belly.

A little life is being born here, and it is her and Shen Xie's first child who is growing.

In the past five years, she has thought countless times about how this child will be born, but she has never thought that it will be now.

The relationship between her and Shen Xie is so embarrassing and easy to break now, and the appearance of this child is only afraid that it will be a variable.

She bit her lip again as she thought about it, and large tears involuntarily fell from her eyes.

Lu Ziyue had kept her head down since the news of her pregnancy, so it wasn't until tears moistened a piece of fabric in front of her knees that Dr. Lin, who was diagnosing the pulse, found out.

He hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The princess can't cry now, you have been overthinking and accumulating a lot of troubles in your body recently, if you shed tears now to increase the unhappiness in your heart, I am afraid that it will not be conducive to the growth of the child." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, he directly woke up Shen Xie, who was still silent in joy.

Shen Xiefang was also shocked by this sudden happy event, his eyes became extremely soft in an instant, and he directly stretched out his hand and gently lost the tears on Lu Ziyue with a silk handkerchief, and his voice was also unusually gentle.

"Don't cry, okay."

Shen Xie smiled and said, "I know that you are looking forward to the arrival of this child as much as I do, but now is the time for us to face it with a smile." ”

After he finished saying this, he directly picked up Lu Ziyue, and then looked at Shangguan Zimo: "Thank you General Shangguan for today's matter, if you have the opportunity next time, this king will definitely return your favor, but don't let anyone know about this matter for the time being, General Shangguan should understand the seriousness of the matter." ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Qi who was standing aside with a smiling face and said, "Xiao Qi, go home now." ”

When the words fell, he left the dining hall with Lu Ziyue in his arms.

Shangguan Mansion had already prepared a carriage waiting at the door, and when the coachman saw Shen Xie holding Lu Ziyue, he naturally quickly squatted down and pretended to be a human stool, so that Shen Xie stepped on the carriage steadily.

Xiao Qi also followed behind him.
