Shen Yuexi came to sit down at the table under Queen Wen and said to Queen Wen: "Queen, are you worried about Prince Ping?"

Queen Wen nodded lightly, sighed and said: "Now that there are only two of us here, we no longer need to treat each other with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister. I want to tell you something from my heart."

Seeing the sadness in her eyes, Shen Yuexi couldn't help but feel sympathy and said: "Queen, please speak, I am here to listen."

"Momo must have told you that His Majesty issued a decree to establish the crown prince and hang it on the Star-Zhaing Tower. This matter... seems to have blocked the mouths of the ministers, but it is self-defeating and it is really a mistake."

Shen Yuexi didn't understand what Queen Wen meant, and asked doubtfully: "Queen, why did you say it was a failure?"

"Beiheng doesn't know who the prince is, so he doesn't think about food or food, and he can't sleep at night," Queen Wen said, her eyes turning red. "He has suffered from insomnia since he was a child, and he often wakes up with nightmares at night. He is a man at first. A child who cannot bear to be frightened, now... Alas, but the emperor's decree has been made, and naturally it cannot be taken back. I asked Your Majesty privately, but Your Majesty did not tell me the content of the decree."

Shen Yuexi believed what Empress Wen said. Xiao Beiheng's inability to sleep was known to her from the first time she and Xiao Beiheng came into contact. Later, Xiao Beiheng asked Hua Duoduo to exorcise evil spirits for him, and she participated in the whole process. The problem is very clear.

Not being able to rest well alone is really torture.

It's just a pity that the medicine she made was missing because Hua Duoduo was punished by Emperor Qi Ming, and Xiao Beiheng did not get it.

"He is my only son. He can't sleep. How can I, a mother, not be anxious? It's OK for a person not to sleep for a day or two. If this continues..." Queen Wen raised her hand and pressed it on the corner of her eyes, but she still couldn't. Stopping the tears from flowing down, "I came to you this time to urge Momo to go back and accompany her husband. I have been very irritated all the way. I couldn't control my emotions when I saw you. Don't worry about it."

"You and Prince An are in love and carefree. We will have a child next year, which will make the whole family happy," Queen Wen said with a smile, "It's not like me worrying all day long. I'm a little envious of you."

Seeing Queen Wen's anxious tone, Shen Yuexi knew that she was a little anxious because she didn't answer, so she smiled and said:

"Queen, I also know that my brother values ​​this. You are right, I am very satisfied. However, I have to tell my husband about this matter you mentioned, and I cannot make the decision without authorization."

When Shen Yuexi saw Queen Wen admitting her mistake directly, she naturally couldn't take it to heart anymore. After all, Queen Wen was also the mother of her younger brother Xiao Beiheng. What else could she ask for when someone took the initiative to admit her mistake.

"These are your majesty's rewards. King An and I are deeply grateful."

Queen Wen has been worried about Xiao Beiheng, so she should talk about Xiao Beiheng.

"Since you were exiled by the late emperor, you and Prince An have struggled all the way, fought with Xirong, and fought with Prince Jing, and have suffered so much." Queen Wen looked around, "Now you are sitting on two states Land, having such a beautiful palace in Shengjing is also a reward for your previous suffering."

Thinking about the day the baby was born, Xiao Zhuo must have been smiling from ear to ear. She just didn’t know whether the baby was a boy or a girl. But regardless of whether the baby was a boy or a girl, she had to raise it well and the whole family should be happy.

"The Queen's words were serious. I did behave inappropriately at that time, and it just so happened that the Queen was in a bad mood."

Queen Wen smiled and said: "When you mentioned the meal, you reminded me that I almost forgot what His Majesty ordered. Someone is here."

She nodded and said: "The Queen is right, it should be around April of next year on the lunar calendar and May on the solar calendar."

Everyone could probably see this. She had to tell Su Mo to know about such a big matter as establishing a prince. It was obviously a sign of not caring.

Shen Yuexi also did the math in her heart.

"I came here specially from the capital, the most important thing is for this matter," Queen Wen sighed, "Beiheng is your brother, you brothers and sisters-in-law just let him go. As a mother, I am really I can’t stand my son being tortured like this.”

With that said, she took out a silk handkerchief and handed it to Queen Wen.

Xia Lan quickly walked in from the door, knelt down and kowtowed: "In accordance with the Queen's decree, I have prepared the anti-fetal medicine given by Your Majesty."

But then I thought about it, what was the purpose of Queen Wen praising her for so long?

Shen Yuexi found that Queen Wen knew quite clearly about her and Xiao Zhuo's past. Seeing Queen Wen's praise, she responded humbly:

To her, this was nothing at all. She originally planned to tell Su Mo that when Xiao Zhuo came back, she and Xiao Zhuo would go to Shengjing to give up the crown prince's position and not compete with Xiao Beiheng.

Empress Wen shed tears, put down her veil, and said to Shen Yuexi: "I can see that you are a reasonable woman, and you are not very concerned about the position of prince."

It can be seen that Queen Wen must have been a beauty when she was young, with a straight nose and glossy lips. However, it must be because she is older. When her eyes are closed tightly, she has a few fine lines at the corners of her eyes, and her head is white. She felt that she felt older than her age. To sum it up, she felt that Queen Wen seemed to be aging due to excessive worry.

Shen Yuexi also felt a little carried away after hearing this, with a happy smile on her face.

Shen Yuexi was also very happy. She stood up and thanked her: "I have thanked Your Majesty and the Queen for their reward."

Seeing that Queen Wen was about to cry again, Shen Yuexi said quickly: "Queen, there is no problem with me. It's just that I really can't make the decision. You can rest here for a few days until King An comes back..."

Queen Wen pinched her fingers and calculated, Wen said: "I did the math, you will give birth in May next year, right?"

Shen Yuexi suddenly realized. No wonder Queen Wen praised her for doing this and that, it turned out to be because of these words.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Queen Wen added: "Princess An, what you have got is enough now. I can see that you are very satisfied. But Beiheng is not the same. He has always wanted to be the prince. He followed His Majesty to fight everywhere. This is the most important thing in his eyes..."

Shen Yuexi leaned forward slightly and looked at the dark brown medicinal soup in the purple medicine cup. A strong medicinal fragrance came to her nostrils. She had also seen the medicine that Doctor Hua boiled for Mei Dai, and she could tell that it was carefully cooked. Medicinal decoction.

Shen Yuexi said: "In that case, I will accompany the Queen to have dinner later."

"Okay, bring it up quickly and let Princess An take it," Queen Wen ordered and smiled at Shen Yuexi, "Your Majesty was very happy to learn that you were pregnant, and specially asked me to bring the anti-fetal medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor. Here’s something to drink for you.”

A palace maid carried a steaming cup of exquisite medicine on a tray and placed it on the table in front of Shen Yuexi. She bowed to Shen Yuexi and said, "Princess An, please use it slowly."

Shen Yuexi took this opportunity to get a closer look at Queen Wen.

Sure enough, after Queen Wen finished her compliments, she said to her: "There is a sentence... I know it is not appropriate, but I still want to say it, otherwise my efforts will be in vain."

Shen Yuexi said: "Queen, it's okay to just say it."

Shen Yuexi said: "The Queen is right, I have severe vomiting and haven't been out much since the Chinese Valentine's Day."

Queen Wen took the silk handkerchief and lifted the veil to touch the tears on her cheeks.

The only thing she was afraid of was Xiao Beiheng. Xiao Beiheng was too insidious and vicious. Even if she reconciled with him and celebrated Chinese Valentine's Day, she was always worried that something would happen in the future due to Xiao Beiheng's capricious character.

Xiao Zhuo had previously ordered that cooking was not allowed in the palace, but the chefs had to set up stoves outside the walls of the palace to cook in the open air. This time when the queen came to visit, it was not appropriate to cook in the open air, so everyone moved everything. I went back to the kitchen to do it. I kept going back and forth, but lunch is not ready yet.

She could tell that Queen Wen was really worried about Xiao Beiheng. She didn't expect that Emperor Qi Ming's decree would have such a big impact.

"Your Majesty's decree on establishing a crown prince has been made. No matter whether it is King Liping or King Li'an, it is impossible to change it," Queen Wen said. "Now Beiheng is anxious about this matter. As a mother, I have no choice but to come here." You, I wonder if you can write to His Majesty with King An to give up the position of crown prince to Bei Heng?"

When the palace maid stepped back, Queen Wen smiled and said: "Princess An, there is only one dose of this medicine. It needs to be taken while it is hot. It will have no effect when it is cold. If you drink it, I can go back and deliver my orders."

Queen Wen shook her head and said: "As the mother of a country, how can I stay here forever? But with your words, I am satisfied. I still want to go back to visit Beiheng, and I will leave for Beijing this afternoon."

So what if she doesn't become the prince? Right now, she just wants the whole family to be safe, and nothing else matters.

To put it bluntly, the problem lies with Xiao Beiheng, not with her and Xiao Zhuo.

She learned she was pregnant on Chinese Valentine's Day. Doctor Hua checked her pulse and said she was already one and a half months pregnant. Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed, it will be almost three months in total. Based on ten months, it should be on the fourth day of next year. between May.

This was Emperor Qi Ming's intention, and she was very grateful.

"I will drink now."

She picked up the spoon that was placed next to the medicine cup, reached out to scoop up a spoonful of the medicine soup, brought it to her lips and blew on it to let the medicine soup cool down a little.

Before I could put it into my mouth, the long-lost voice of the big bear rang happily in my mind.
