Chapter 314: Hidden Worry
On a sunny autumn noon, the sky outside the Great Wall is high and blue.
In the Herb Garden of Prince Shengjing'an's Mansion, Shen Yuexi was sitting at a round stone table drinking porridge.
There are no seasonings in the porridge, just a little salt sprinkled in the rice porridge. It has no taste when you drink it. If you insist on finishing it, you will win.
She is surrounded by a sea of purple flowers, with a fragrant fragrance. Occasionally, the autumn wind blows down, and the fine purple petals are blown down, almost paving the garden ground into a purple carpet.
Behind her, several maids led by Xia Lan watched in fear as she put the spoon into her mouth, and stood up on tiptoes in unison. It was not until she swallowed the porridge safely that everyone's heels landed at the same time.
Shen Yuexi felt the eyes behind her, put down the spoon, turned around and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so nervous, I'll finish the drink this time too."
As long as she smells the aroma of the herb, she can drink the porridge. But autumn is coming, the herb is withering, and she hopes that her stomach will stop rebelling when the flowers fade.
Xia Lan stepped forward and asked: "Master, would you like to add another bowl? It has been a month and a half since the Qiao Qiao Festival, and you have been vomiting every day, and you have almost lost weight."
Shen Yuexi put her hands on her lower abdomen and said, "No need, I'm afraid of vomiting if I eat too much. I'll finish eating after an hour."
Since she became pregnant, she has unknowingly developed a habit of putting her hands on her belly. She also doesn't like riding Xiaobai crazy everywhere, and she has begun to walk steadily. The little life in her belly is growing day by day, and she wants to Carefully taken care of.
Xia Lan agreed and was going to clear away the bowls when the parrot Liuli spread her wings and flew over.
Shen Yuexi particularly liked this big parrot, and even when she was suffering from severe morning sickness, she did not let the maid put Liuli in a cage. However, although Liuli was clean, it still had the smell of birds, and she would vomit if she smelled it.
Later, Xia Lan came up with an idea. She ground the spiritual herb into powder and put it in a small cloth bag, hung it around Liuli's neck, and changed it every day so that the aroma of the spiritual herb could cover the smell of Liuli's body. Liuli was not very used to it at first. , always biting the bag, and later got used to it, hanging the sachet and flying around Shen Yuexi's room.
Xiao Zhuo led his army to quell the rebellion in Jingzhou and was not at home. Shen Yuexi teased Liuli when she had nothing to do, and she was very happy.
Liuli landed on the stone table in front of Shen Yuexi, folded her wings, bent her head and straightened her back feathers, turned to Shen Yuexi and said, "Yuexi, good luck and good fortune."
Shen Yuexi stretched out a finger and rubbed the top of Liuli's head, and said with a smile: "Be good."
Who wouldn't like such a well-behaved big parrot? It doesn't fly around, it can talk, and it's very clingy. It follows her all day long.
Liuli seemed to know that Shen Yuexi was praising it, so she shook her head, jumped two steps sideways, tilted her head and said, "No, the master vomited again."
When Xia Lan and the other maids heard this, they all shrank their necks.
For more than a month, this sentence has been the most talked about by everyone. Unexpectedly, Liuli learned it after listening to it a lot.
Shen Yuexi smiled and said: "You are a lazy bird, but I can't learn anything else if I teach you."
As if showing off, Liuli proudly raised her head and said, "Beiheng, you are sorry for me, Beiheng, you are sorry for me."
Shen Yuexi was so amused by Liuli that she imitated Liuli's voice and said to Liuli in the same way, "Beiheng, you're sorry for me."
Xia Lan was surprised and said: "Master, you seem to have learned it well. If you didn't listen carefully, you would have thought it was Liuli who said it."
Several maids agreed: "We also thought it was Liuli who said it."
Seeing everyone speaking in unison, Shen Yuexi asked, "Is it really that similar?"
Everyone nodded.
Just as she was about to play with Liuli again, a maid came closer and said, "Master, Princess Ping's motorcade has arrived twenty miles east of Shengjing City."
Shen Yuexi said to the maid: "I understand, let Yang Cong greet Princess Ping on my behalf. I am not feeling well and will wait in the mansion."
Su Mo's messenger had come to Shengjing before, saying that Su Mo would come to visit her after the Mid-Autumn Festival. She happened to be looking forward to someone to talk to. Although Xia Lan and other maids could also talk to her, only Su Mo and Her interests are similar and they have a common language.
After returning to her room to freshen up and change her clothes, Shen Yuexi came to the front hall of the palace.
Su Mo was already waiting in the front hall. The table next to her was filled with one-foot-square crimson sandalwood boxes made of precious soft silk.
When she saw Shen Yuexi, Su Mo stood up and exclaimed, "It's only been a month and a half, and my sister-in-law has lost so much weight."
Saying that, she quickly stepped forward to hold Shen Yuexi's arm, and the two sat down together.
Shen Yuexi was originally a woman with a slender figure. Now she is pregnant and has been vomiting for more than a month. She can only survive on porridge and soup. She looks much haggard to the naked eye. Compared with the Qiqiao Festival, she is almost a pound thinner. lock up.
Seeing Su Mo being so surprised, Shen Yuexi looked down at her belly and said with a smile, "It's not because of the baby."
Su Mo said: "Then you should eat more to replenish your body. Why don't the chefs in the palace do anything?"
At first she thought it was because the cook refused to cook for Shen Yuexi, but she finally understood after Shen Yuexi explained that pregnancy causes vomiting and makes it difficult to eat.
The two exchanged a few words, and the maid served them cakes and tea.
The parrot Liuli also followed Shen Yuexi and flew to the front hall. As if she recognized Su Mo, her old master, Liuli flew to Su Mo and shouted:
"No, the master vomited again. No, the master vomited again."
Su Mo smiled and said: "I didn't expect that my sister-in-law had been vomiting for so long, and even Liuli learned the servant's words."
After saying that, Su Mo picked up a plate of peanuts and melon seeds and placed it on the empty table next to her. She said to Liuli, "Liuli, go and eat peanuts. My sister-in-law and I have something to talk about."
Liuli spread her wings and flew away, and Su Mo walked to the row of wooden boxes and opened one first.
"My mother said she didn't feel anything when she was pregnant with me. She didn't know until she was pregnant later. I thought all women were like this." Su Mo rummaged through the wooden box, "I came here this time to bring it to my sister-in-law. Some jewelry. Sister-in-law, you are not feeling well, so just sit there and I will pick them out for you."
Shen Yuexi said: "I'm very happy when you come. I really don't need to bring anything."
She remembered that she had been angry with Xiao Zhuo before and had written a letter over a small box of silver. Now there was so much gold that she couldn't put it under the bed and needed a separate warehouse for storage. Su Mo's gifts of jewelry were not just a bunch of pieces, Tan Tan The wooden box filled the entire table.
"Sister-in-law is happy, how can I, a younger brother and sister, come here empty-handed?" Su Mo picked and picked out a necklace from the box first, "Sister-in-law, what do you think of this necklace?"
The entire necklace is made of moon-white pearls, and each pearl is of average size.
Shen Yuexi said: "This necklace is very beautiful, let me try it on."
Su Mo walked up behind her, put the necklace on her and said, "Sister-in-law, you know that my father has made a decree to establish a heir apparent, right?"
Shen Yuexi's heart moved. Did Emperor Qi Ming decree the establishment of a prince?
She was in Shengjing and had no manpower in the capital. As for whether Xiao Zhuo had done this, she didn't know. But when Su Mo told her the news personally, she was quite surprised.
"Oh, is it Prince Ping?" she asked nonchalantly.
Judging from Su Mo's comfortable expression, Emperor Qi Ming should appoint Xiao Beiheng. If Xiao Zhuo was appointed, Xiao Beiheng would probably be furious. Even if Su Mo wanted to come to Shengjing, Xiao Beiheng would not agree.
Su Mo said: "No, my father hung the crown prince's will on the Star-Zhailing Tower, and none of us know who it is. Sister-in-law, if the crown prince is Bei Heng, will eldest brother and you not mind?"
Shen Yuexi said: "No, he can't do it, and neither can I."
Ever since she came to this world, she has not had much interest in these things. She has a universal manufacturing machine and has no worries about money. Her goal is to find a man who truly loves her, and the two of them can grow old together. Only Xiao Zhuo is very interested in the identity of the prince. A persistent person.
Later, Yongwei was defeated and Xiao Zhuo lost his title as prince overnight. However, it was at this most difficult time that the two of them could confirm each other's sincerity.
Now that she has the fruit of their love, she feels that the struggle for fame and wealth in the world is just a cloud. She just wants her child to be born safely and grow up happily. She and Xiao Zhuo have gone through too much Suffering, I don’t want their children to go through those things again.
Su Mo hung the pearl necklace around her neck, tidied it up for her, turned to face her, and said with a smile: "Pearls can help with pregnancy, and there are also jade bracelets. I also brought several pairs for my sister-in-law." Go pick.”
Shen Yuexi raised her eyes and looked at her and said, "Brother and sister, what if my father chooses my husband?"
She also wanted to know what Su Mo thought of this situation.
Su Mo seemed to have expected that she would ask this question, and went back to the jewelry box to continue picking, and said:
"Sister-in-law, you know what I said. When I marry a chicken, follow the chicken, and when I marry a dog, follow the dog. Of course I am happy that Beiheng is the prince. If he is not, I don't care. I am Princess Ping now, and I am content. But …”
Su Mo paused, turned around, looked at Shen Yuexi and said, "Beiheng is not the kind of person who gives up easily."
