There are fewer and fewer days when husband and wife can be intimate, and both of them cherish it, but in the end, because Xie Ruqing is heavy, Qi Yanzhi can't let go, Xie Ruqing feels sorry for him to endure it like this, in the end he used the method taught by Wang Dalang, Qi Yanzhi hummed on his face, but he was very useful in his heart, and in the days when Xie Ruqing couldn't exercise excessively, the two used this way to stay close, but it was also harmonious.

On this day, the queen's birthday, the emperor held a banquet in the royal courtyard, and the princes, nobles and ministers gathered, and it was extremely lively.

Xie Ruqing's stomach has been more than seven months, if it is an ordinary banquet, Qi Yanzhi will not allow her to go, but on the queen's birthday, she can't say anything.

This morning, Xie Ruqing got up and dressed up, saying that dressing up is to change into decent clothes, Wang Dalang said that women should not wear makeup during pregnancy, so Xie Ruqing simply faced the sky, which was exactly what she wanted. In order to dress lightly, I don't wear much headdress, only a hosta to pull up my hair, and the whole person looks very refreshing and comfortable.

Qi Yanzhi likes to see her like this, her face is tender, her whole person is beautiful and gentle, and she can't help but want to pinch it.

"Hey, what are you pinching me for?" Xie Ruqing slapped Qi Yanzhi's hand away and looked at Ruhuan who was cleaning up the room, "They are all here!" ”

"What are you afraid of?" Qi Yanzhi touched her cheek and said, "They have long been surprised, besides, do you think the girl Ruhuan is still the girl who doesn't open her mind?" I've been with Qi Er for so long, so I'm going to have a family affair. ”

Ruhuan's old face flushed, "Uncle, are you so suitable, I haven't laughed at you yet, you're laughing at me!" ”

"Don't laugh at who are you laughing at?" Qi Yanzhi teased her.

"Miss, you see how angry your husband is, help me beat him!" Ruhuan is familiar with Qi Yan, and he doesn't shy away from saying anything.

Xie Ruqing laughed.

For banquets in the palace, the carriages and horses of the Qingyang Marquis Mansion are always the last to arrive, because the two of them are grinding at home, and they are blatantly late every time, but the emperor and queen are favored, and others are only envious.

"It's been seven or eight months since you cleared your belly, and you're about to give birth." When the ladies saw Xie Ruqing, they asked one after another.

Xie Ruqing was like a ring, walking slowly, she smiled, "Yes, it's fast, I can't wait." ”

The ladies laughed, "The last two months are harder, but it's good to give birth, it seems that we have to prepare gifts quickly, and the little master of the Hou Mansion will be born soon." ”

"I don't know it's Miss Young Master yet." Xie Ruqing said.

"Why, didn't you look for a doctor?" The ladies asked in amazement.

Generally speaking, when a woman is pregnant, she will call the imperial doctor to see if it is a man or a woman, and everyone knows it in their hearts, but they didn't expect the Qingyang Hou Mansion to be so Buddha.

"No, my lord and I both think that it is all up to heaven whether it is a man or a woman, so I didn't look at it specifically, and besides, there are times when I can't see it, right, so I just don't look at it." Xie Ruqing said.

Now the ladies are even more jealous, you have to ask whose husband doesn't care about giving birth to boys and girls, that's really not, the more boys, the better, at the moment, Qingyang Hou doesn't care about men and women at all, at least he cares more about his wife.

What kind of fate does this have to be, just marry a person with conditions like Qingyang Hou, and the husband is still spoiled like this, which is what others can't envy for eight lifetimes.

But these people probably forgot how everyone looked down on others when Qingyang Hou was still a cripple.

After greeting the ladies, Xie Ruqing hid in the queen's Chaohua Hall on the grounds of his heavy body. Qi Wanru has been waiting for her for a long time, and the smile on her face has also stretched, she has a stomach full of things to talk to her, but it is a pity that there are a bunch of women in the palace right now, and it is difficult to whisper, so she can only endure it.

"Why are you here?" Qi Wanru asked someone to help Xie Ruqing sit beside her, looked at her belly, and was also startled, "It's so big, are you pregnant with such a big belly?" ”

"Why!" Xie Ruqing glared at her with disgust, "My baby is so big." ”

"Huh?" Qi Wanru was scared of such a big belly, how could this be born?

Qi Wanru asked: "Then are you tired from walking with such a big belly, do you want to go in and rest for a while?" ”

can be regarded as asking the point, Xie Ruqing waited for this sentence, "No, if it weren't for your birthday today, Qi Yanzhi wouldn't have asked me to go out, he said that when he saw me walking, he was always worried that I would bring this stomach down." ”

Qi Wanru giggled, "That's my sin, Xiao Liu quickly helped Mrs. Qi to the side hall to rest." ”

She deliberately accentuated the word "Mrs. Qi", which made everyone laugh.

Mrs. Qi is too delicate, she is spoiled by her husband, and she is too enviable.

"The queen and Mrs. Qingyang are so enviable!" The ladies used Xie Ruqing to compliment the queen.

Qi Wanru is still newly married in the end, and she is still immersed in sweetness, and she can't resist the praise of others, as long as she mentions it, she can't help blushing, and her heart is filled with sweetness.

"But the queen mother," Ma suddenly said at this time, his tone was like talking to the queen, and he seemed very intimate, "While you are favored now, it is better to fill the harem for the emperor as soon as possible, but you can't wait for this hot time between husband and wife to be considered." ”

Ma thought that she was saying this for the good of the queen, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with saying this on someone's birthday, but Qi Wanru's mood suddenly fell to the bottom.

Which woman is willing to mention her husband's woman, but this is what women must face, especially the master of the harem, marriage is a struggle, a harem fight, a political fight, no one can imagine what kind of predicament the harem woman faces in this life, even more cruel than the man's world.

From this aspect, Qi Wanru should have made a motherly appearance from the beginning, filled the palace for the emperor, and earned a virtuous name, whether it was internal or external, this reputation was good for her, and in the end, the emperor would eventually be grateful to her and give her respect and decency.

That's why Ma thought he was considerate and persuaded her.

But these words pierced Qi Wanru's heart like a thorn, she married Yu Ning to seek a lifetime and a couple, not to seek any virtue and decency, she made up her mind from the beginning, if she couldn't live for a lifetime, she would rather not have this identity.

But the sweetness of marriage makes her more and more nostalgic, this is the time when she is most reluctant, and the more reluctant people are, the easier it is to have some compromise ideas.

Should she really be a queen who doesn't cause trouble for Yu Ning, she can't just think about begging for something from Yu Ning, without thinking about giving him something in return, shrinking under his protection like a turtle, not thinking about his difficulties, what qualifications do you have to ask people to be loyal to her for a lifetime?

This thought has since occupied a place in her heart, and it has been in a tug of war with her life, which makes her uncomfortable.

Today's birthday, because of Ma's words, Qi Wanru failed to live well, although his face was as usual, but his heart was panicked, and he forced a smile.

"Are you feeling unwell?" During the banquet, Xie Ruqing saw that Qi Wanru's face was not very good, so he asked.

"Nope." Qi Wanru subconsciously covered it up first, but then remembered that Ruqing sat close and understood her, and he was afraid that he would see something, so he explained: "It's that yesterday I was greedy for cold, and I ate a few more nights of ice, and today my stomach is a little uncomfortable, it's not a big deal, I don't believe it's going to eat it for you in private?" ”

Also, in front of so many people, Xie Ruqing has no appetite, she is probably tired, she didn't think much about it.
