Chapter 423 Take the opportunity to comfort
Since it was found out that Chu He was pregnant, the queen had granted her permission to say goodbye to He Suoyi and her every morning and dusk.
Chu He also didn't like to go to He Suoyi to ask for peace. I think at the beginning, if He Suoyi hadn't intervened sideways, then at this time, she and He Suoyi might not have said who would greet whom?
Thinking of this, Chu He's eyes were full of resentment. The position of the crown princess was originally hers, what did she rely on? The more he thought about it, the more jealousy Chu He couldn't stop in his heart. The expression on his face became more and more hideous.
Li Xin walked in with breakfast and saw Chu Heyi's poisonous look. The expression on Li Xin's face remained unchanged, and he brought breakfast to the table in front of Chu He as usual.
As a result, after she stood in front of Chu He for a while, Chu He still had a hideous and vicious face, Li Xin swallowed her saliva, and reminded: "Niangniang, it's time for breakfast." ”
Chu He came back to her senses, she looked up at Li Xin, and found that Li Xin had been keeping her head down, so she leaned on the head of the bed and said lazily: "Let's put breakfast there first!" You come and wait for me to freshen up. ”
"Yes, sissy."
Hearing this, Li Xin brought the water that had been prepared a long time ago and brought it to Chu He. Then pull her hair in a bun.
Because of the hideous look on Chu He's face just now, Li Xin has been acting cautiously when she curls her sideburns, for fear of upsetting Chu He.
After I put my hair and temples in place, I dressed up and had breakfast, and it was already half an hour later.
The breakfast that was served just now is now cold. Not to mention that Chu He is pregnant now, even when he was alone in the past, it was impossible to eat these cold breakfasts.
Fortunately, the people in the small kitchen have already prepared, so replacing these breakfasts is just a matter of words.
When he was eating, the emperor's father-in-law, who was waiting for him, came.
Chu He listened to the shouting outside: "Father-in-law Hai has arrived." He was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly beckoned Li Xin to go to the door to greet him.
As soon as Gonggong Hai walked to the corner of the west side hall, he saw Chu He standing at the door of the hall, and hurriedly greeted him with a group of people behind him.
"The slave has seen the side concubine."
Seeing this, Chu He hurriedly stepped forward to help. "Father-in-law, please get up, aren't you tormenting Chu He?"
Seeing this, Father-in-law Hai also stood up according to her wishes.
"Mother, the slave is here to say hello to you first."
Chu He was stunned. What joy do you want to say to her at this time?
Chu He had doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask all these questions. But Gonggong Hai has been in the palace for most of his life, and he can't guess what Chu He is thinking. He didn't sell it, and directly exposed a few people behind him.
Chu He wondered, what does this mean?
Gonggong Hai explained to her with a smile: "These people are the emperor and the jade concubine Niangniang who have privately protected you. The mother is pregnant with the eldest grandson of the emperor.
The emperor and the queen mother and the jade concubine all attach great importance to this baby in your belly. ”
When Gonggong Hai saw that he said this, Chu He showed a happy smile on his face, and continued: "But you also know that there are inevitably people in this palace whose hands and feet are not clean, in order to ensure your safety, the emperor and the Jade Concubine Niangniang specially sent these people over to take care of you." ”
With that, he gestured to the group of people standing behind him.
"Those four guards are some of the best in the palace, and they are mainly responsible for keeping you safe.
And that maid was given to you by the Jade Concubine, saying that she took care of your daily life. ”
When he said this, Grandpa Hai almost smiled a flower on his face, "This kind of holy grace is unique in the entire harem!" Do you say that the slave should say congratulations to the mother? ”
Chu He had already heard that these people were rewarded by the emperor and the Jade Concubine, and he couldn't hold back the smile on his face. At this time, when he heard Gonggong Hai say this, the smile on his face became deeper and deeper.
She smiled and glanced at the person behind Hai Gonggong, then turned her head to Hai Gonggong and said, "Thank you Gonggong for his good words." ”
After finishing speaking, he casually picked up a stack of silver tickets and stuffed it to Gonggong Hai. After Gonggong Hai saw the silver ticket, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
"Everywhere, this is your own blessing."
Chu He listened to the words, knowing that Gonggong Hai's words were compliments on him, but he was still happy in his heart.
Gonggong Hai glanced at the sky and said to Chu He: "Since this is the case, then these people will be responsible for following Niangniang in the future." If the mother agrees, the slave will return to the imperial study to report to the emperor. ”
"That's nature, father-in-law walks slowly."
After Chu He finished speaking, he stuffed a stack of silver tickets to Gonggong Hai. Gonggong Hai quietly stuffed the silver ticket into his cuff. He bowed to Chu He one by one, "The slave retires!" ”
After saying that, he walked to the imperial study. Chu He stood at the door and waited until Gonggong Hai came out of the East Palace before walking towards his dormitory.
The few masters sent to protect Chu He had already hidden in the shadows of the West Side Hall as early as when Gonggong Hai left. And Chun'er, the palace maid sent by the Jade Concubine, followed Chu He into the dormitory.
After walking to the hall, Chu He found an excuse to send Li Xin out. Then there were only two people left in the dormitory, her and Chun'er.
Chun'er knelt down and saluted Chu He. "Slave Chun'er, I've seen the side concubine."
Chu He hurriedly pulled Chun'er up from the ground. "Okay, while there is no one here, how did the Jade Concubine Niangniang arrange it, you can tell me in detail."
"Yes."
Chun'er got up and handed the letter she had put inside her clothes to Chu He. Chu He watched while Chun'er explained. These are all things arranged by the Jade Concubine. Originally, it was planned for Chun'er to bring a letter directly to Chu He. But just in case, Yufei told Chun'er to tell Chu He again.
After reading the letter, Chu He heard Chun'er's explanation again, and nodded clearly.
At this time, Li Xin also came back, standing at the table, waiting for Chu He to have breakfast.
At this time, in the east side hall, Shen Huo was also having breakfast with He Suoyi. In the past few days, he has noticed that He Suoyi has developed a detachment from him. Shen Huo also knew that he had neglected He Suyi in the past few days because of Chu He's pregnancy.
So today, I came to accompany He Suoyi for breakfast, just to unravel the gap between the two. But breakfast had been served for a long time, and He Suoyi had saluted him at the beginning, and had not said a word until now.
Seeing this, Shen Huo sandwiched one of the crystal shrimp dumplings on the plate to He Suoyi. "I haven't come to see you recently, haven't you eaten well, I always feel that you have lost weight. This shrimp dumpling is your favorite to eat, eat more. ”
Shen Huo said, and put the shrimp dumplings in He Suoyi's bowl. Seeing this, He Suoyi stood up and blessed Shen Xin, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”
After the salute, he sat down on the table again and ate as if nothing had happened. But Shen Huo sandwiched the crystal shrimp dumplings in her bowl, He Suoyi really didn't touch them.
Shen Huo's face was a little stiff, but he was not angry. Instead, he moved the chair a little towards He Suoyi and said, "Ayi, I know you're angry with me, but I can't control this matter. I swear I'll be doubly nice to you in the future, don't ignore me, okay? ”
He Suoyi glanced at Shen Huo and didn't appreciate it.
"The concubine doesn't dare."
Whether he didn't dare to be angry, or he was angry and didn't want to pay attention to him. Shen Huo wanted to ask this sentence very much, but looking at He Suoyi's cold face, he didn't say anything after all. The next breakfast between the two of them was much quieter than usual.
Although Shen Huo and He Suoyi didn't speak when they had breakfast in the past, the kind of warmth flowing between the two made everyone standing on the side feel it. But today, the two had breakfast together, and the atmosphere was completely cold and hard.
Jin Yu and Zijin watched from behind, very anxious, but it was difficult to say anything. I could only watch the two of them fight coldly.
This scene was seen by the palace maid who was placed in the east side hall by Chu He, and she took advantage of the fact that the people in the side hall were waiting for He Suoyi and Shen Huo in the main hall at this time, and quietly ran out of the hall. Pass the news to Chu He.
After Chu He learned the news, he was very happy. But she didn't expect He Suoyi to be so bold. Shen Huo, as the prince of a country, put down his body and went to He Suoyi to seek peace, but He Suoyi turned out to be ignorant of the answer.
If this is taken in ordinary times, it is a great sin of disrespect. But Shen Huo didn't even punish her, which shows that even if she is pregnant, Shen Huo still has something to rely on in her heart.
Thinking of this, a trace of jealousy flashed in Chu He's eyes. But in a flash, he returned to his former gentle look.
Shen Huo stayed there for a while, and there was really nothing to say between the two. The atmosphere was particularly awkward. Shen Huo never knew that He Suoyi was still so indifferent to him.
He felt guilty, but he didn't know how to speak. So he had to leave the east side hall under the pretext of having official business.
Shen Huo stayed alone in the study to deal with the folds handed over to him by the emperor, and it wasn't until he couldn't read the words on the folds clearly that he realized that it was getting late.
"Someone's coming!"
"Your Highness, what are your orders?"
"What time is it?"
The palace man glanced at the sky and replied, "Back to Your Highness, it's already time at this time." Your Highness wants to rest? ”
Shen Huo glanced at the east side hall where He was staying, and said like a little eunuch: "Get ready, this palace will rest at Concubine Chu tonight." ”
"Yes."
After Shen Huo finished speaking, he walked towards Chu He's west side hall. As early as when Shen Huo decided to come to the West Side Palace, Chu He already knew.
But seeing Shen Huo coming over, Chu He still looked surprised and welcomed Shen Huo in.
As a result, after Shen Huo entered, he sat there drinking tea with a gloomy face.
Chu He naturally knew what was wrong with Shen Huo's bad mood? She asked a few words pretendedly, and began to comfort: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much, my sister is just angry for a while, and it will be fine after a while, after all, my sister is so broad-minded, how can she worry about Your Highness because of this little thing." ”
Shen Huo listened to Chu He's words, and there was still no expression on his face.
