Chapter 554: Innocence
Shi Yueran is pregnant after all, and Shi Qingqian is not stupid enough to drag her out of the room directly. Before leaving the room, Shi Qingqian still put two layers of wool cloak on her, and specially took an extra one to help her wrap her stomach.
The two of them left the Laurel Palace directly, which frightened the people, but because of what the county lord of Baoying was so desperately favored by Concubine Tang did, none of them dared to step forward to stop it.
Xue Ying should be the most confident in his own young lady, and calmly call a few maids who are not at ease to follow him from a distance. It's just that I didn't expect to go, so I walked to the Imperial Garden.
Although the winter garden is not as beautiful as the spring and summer clocks, the trees are all withered, and only the holly remains as green as ever in the cold winter. However, after a heavy snowfall, the people in charge of cleaning in the Imperial Garden carefully cleaned the snow on the road, but the snow in the grass did not move at all, so the snow was spread on the ground like a clean quilt.
Shi Qingqian and Shi Yueran walked to the bottom of the pavilion hand in hand, and after she helped Shi Yueran sit down, she carefully wrapped the cloak she was wearing on her stomach, and then sat down opposite her.
Xue Ying reacted very quickly and took a few people to bring steaming weak tea and freshly baked snacks, and also intimately brought a soup woman to Shi Yueran.
"How is it, Sister Yue'er, are you in a better mood?" Shi Qingqian looked at the tears on Shi Yueran's cheeks that had dried up, and asked with a smile, "Come, eat a piece of pastry!" β
Shi Yueran just wanted to reach out and get it, but then quickly retracted it, only to see her shake her head slightly, "Forget it...... ...... you can't eat these things during pregnancy."
"You don't believe me? I'm a healer! It's okay to eat something," Shi Qingqian smiled helplessly, picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into Shi Yueran's hand, "Eat, eat, I'm here!" β
Shi Yueran looked at Shi Qingqian and saw that her face was firm, so she took a big bite and ate it.
Shi Qingqian shook her head distressedly, it was really hard for this girl, she was only sixteen years old, she had to bear the burden of pregnancy and separation, and the most important thing was that the person she married could not even be called a 'husband', she was not a queen, but a concubine, and in the end she was just a concubine.
She didn't even dare to think that if she married Shen Shu, but she was just a concubine, and there were many people around her who were trying to compete for favor, she would definitely collapse.
Shi Yueran ate extremely hard, as if she had been hungry for many days, if she didn't know that she was a noble concubine, Shi Qingqian would definitely treat her as a little wanderer who was starved and outcast.
With Shi Qingqian's guarantee, Shi Yueran seemed to have received a gold medal for exoneration, and stuffed two cakes into his mouth in one go, and still held two in his hand. If she hadn't eaten tasteless rice for so long, she couldn't believe that she would one day treat this ordinary egg yolk cake as a delicacies from the mountains and seas.
"Okay, okay, okay," Shi Qingqian saw this, and quickly stretched out his hand to stop her from wanting to continue to stuff her mouth, "Although it can be eaten, anything is extremely counterproductive and too much, if you eat so much in one go, you are not afraid of breaking it." β
Shi Yueran swallowed the things in her mouth hard, and she was so tired that she even breathed a little heavy, but fortunately, the expression on her face eased a lot, and said: "Sister, you don't know, the white rice porridge is tasteless, and the daily dishes are only fried cabbage and radish, which has been the case for more than ten days in a row, and my sister prides herself on not being a pampered person, but she eats like this...... It's really the same as chewing wax. β
She also had morning sickness several times last night, and there was nothing in her stomach, so she vomited it out, and then she vomited the bitter water several times, which tortured her to death. So this morning, when she saw the shiny cabbage, she felt sick, and she would rather eat bitter medicine soup than eat those things.
"White rice porridge, stir-fried cabbage?! Really, that's all there is to it? Shi Qing was stunned for a moment, although pregnant women should eat lightly, but at least they should pay attention to balanced nutrition, and the people in the imperial dining room are not the first time to serve pregnant concubines, how can they not even understand this little truth, and only give people such things that people can't see.
So Shi Qingqian firmly believed at the moment that someone must have deliberately targeted her.
Shen Mi pours his head into the twists and turns of the previous dynasty all day long, and the affairs and trivialities of the harem have always been unreasonable.
If the imperial dining room was deliberately aimed at Shi Yueran, and the food given to Shen Mi and Concubine Tang was as rich as ever, they would definitely not notice about it.
The person who did this behind must have seen Shi Yueran's character of not liking trouble, and decided that she would not go to the imperial dining room to investigate the matter on a rampage, so he dared to be so presumptuous.
Shi Qingqian looked at the innocent Shi Yueran in front of her distressedly, this girl was too well protected by her parents at a glance, and she didn't know that the accident was even more sophisticated, but it was a pity that such naivety and cowardice would never be the protective color that a person could survive. But she really felt that such a naΓ―ve person was born to be protected.
Once such an idea appeared, Shi Qingqian felt more and more that Shen Mi was a two hundred and five. The woman he loves has been bullied like this, as a husband and an emperor, he doesn't even know about this matter, isn't this a big fool!
"Hey...... Sister, didn't the emperor come back to see you every once in a while, why didn't you say this to the emperor? Shi Qingqian had no choice but to support his forehead, although Shen Mi was nervous, he was still very concerned about Shi Yueran, as soon as she said it, Shen Mi would definitely call someone to deal with it immediately.
"But...... The sisters said that the emperor dislikes the woman who chews the root of the tongue behind her back, and I also think that as the emperor's woman...... He has worked hard enough to manage the government every day, so it's better for me to cause less trouble......" Shi Yueran lowered her eyes slightly and said.
I have to say that she is indeed gentle and virtuous, and she looks like she is also very lovely, almost perfectly presenting the carefree, graceful and graceful lady in Shi Qingqian's mind.
is also a beautiful girl, but she has become a person who wants to come to the palace to do things, people...... The gap is still large.
"Silly sister, you have to remember that a coquettish woman is the best! You are in the palace, you don't fight or rob, but with Shen Mi's favor for you, do you think you can live a good life? Shi Qingqian sighed and patted her shoulder seriously, "You have to remember one sentence, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, if you don't plan for yourself, you will only be trampled on the soles of your feet!" β
