Chapter 429: Departure for Beijing
On the first day of June, it was cloudy, adding a layer of gray and black barrier to the hot weather, and there was no scorching sun, which brought some shade to the soldiers who set off on the road.
In order to avoid the hottest noon day, the long procession sets out at dawn, and does not look for a sheltered place to rest at noon, build a stove, build a pot, light a fire, and cook.
Chen Xiuyan and his party did not get off the carriage because there was an ice basin in the carriage, and even though they had been walking for a long time, the ice in the basin had not completely melted.
Since entering the Chu country, Chen Xiuyan's quality of life all the way is very guaranteed, in the hot summer, there has never been a shortage of ice in her carriage, edible ice bowls, and large ice cubes to cool down, even if the road is used up, someone has gone to the nearby city to buy it.
This is the luxurious life of having money and power, Chen Xiuyan lies down and enjoys it.
"Madame, ma'am—"
Chen Xiuyan was woken up, she was lying in the cool carriage and accidentally fell asleep again, and when she saw Mama Miao coming in with a tray, she suddenly felt very hungry.
"What did you do?" Chen Xiuyan's eyes lit up and she was full of expectation.
"Now that it's hot, the slave maid made cold noodles and a few side dishes." Mama Miao put down the tray, and Chen Xiuyan saw the fine noodles with a slight sauce color at a glance, cucumbers, peanuts, and green onions dotted with them, as well as a layer of faint sesame oil, and her appetite increased greatly.
The side dishes are scrambled eggs with bitter gourd, cold eggplant, and a dish of shredded chicken, and the soup is a simple green vegetable and tofu soup.
In the bitter summer, you should eat something light, Chen Xiuyan has a big appetite for a bowl of mixed noodles, and the side dishes are all small portions, Chen Xiuyan didn't let it go, and one person directly swept away all the food in the tray.
When Mama Miao came to collect the tray, she looked at it and stopped talking.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xiuyan ate comfortably, looked satisfied, looked at Mama Miao with a smile, and asked with a smile.
"Madame's appetite has grown a little bit these days." Mama Miao said truthfully, "Should I ask a doctor to check the pulse?" ”
Hongzhu also reminded in a low voice on the side, "Madame is a day late for changing clothes this month." ”
Chen Xiuyan's menstrual affairs are very accurate, but there is a difference of two or three days in a month, Hongzhu has always remembered, but it has not exceeded the days and does not care much, at this time, after listening to Mama Miao's words, it is inevitable that there is an expectation in my heart, and I said with joy.
Chen Xiuyan was stunned for a moment, if she was really pregnant, according to the day, it should have been the last time or when she was in the same room in Biguan County, it can be regarded as a reunion after a long absence, and the crisis in Biguan County has been lifted, Chu Wenqian is a little more anxious, but if he has the same room along the way, Chu Wenqian will take the initiative to drink the avoidance soup, Chen Xiuyan has never bothered, didn't he drink it last time?
"Call the prince." Chen Xiuyan commanded.
"Yes."
Waiting for Chu Wenqian to come over on horseback, the actions of getting off the horse and getting into the carriage were completed in one go, and seeing that Chen Xiuyan was sitting firmly in the carriage, he leaned over and kissed him before asking, "What's wrong?" ”
"Have you been drinking avoidant soup lately?" Chen Xiuyan asked directly.
Chu Wenqianjun blushed and nodded, "Drink, why do you ask now?" Was it hard to toss yesterday? I'm going to press your waist? ”
In the Jin Wangfu of Taiyuan Mansion, Chu Wenqian had some scruples, and now that he thinks about it, his eyes are a little red, and his Adam's apple is moving up and down, and Chen Xiuyan's eyes widen when he sees it.
"What do you want now!" Chen Xiuyan was a little annoyed and angry, and pushed Chu Wenqian, who was getting closer and closer.
"You seduced me." The tall man looked wronged.
"Ask you about business." Chen Xiuyan dodged the heat that passed over, "Can you drink the soup in Biguan County?" ”
The man who moved his hands and feet suddenly stopped moving, straightened up and sat up straight, his brows twisted slightly, and his eyes looked at Chen Xiuyan's lower abdomen.
"Pregnant?" Chu Wenqian was surprised, "I seem to have forgotten to drink that time!" ”
"Not sure yet, but if you haven't drunk, you might be pregnant." Chen Xiuyan reached out and touched her stomach, showing a softness on her face.
Chu Wenqian hugged the person to his lap, "I'll let the house doctor come over and take a look." ”
"I can't see anything now, if I don't come to the menstrual period in a few days, it should be certain." Chen Xiuyan replied, "Don't worry, I have been born casually, and I am a doctor." ”
"It's hard work." Chu Wenqian dropped a light kiss on Chen Xiuyan's face, from his forehead to his chin, without desire, he just wanted to be close.
