Chapter 229 The ruthless and cold-blooded prince’s scumbag father (1)

In the Great Wei Dynasty, Emperor Qianyuan is now on the throne, in the 26th year of Qianyuan.

Emperor Qianyuan is now 45 years old. Empress Yuan passed away after having difficulty giving birth to her only legitimate son 23 years ago. Emperor Qianyuan and Empress Yuan have been deeply in love since they were married. After ascending the throne, they stopped the draft for six years for Empress Yuan.

, spending half of each month staying in the Kunning Palace of Queen Yuan.

After the death of Empress Yuan, Emperor Qianyuan was so grieved that he suspended his court for nine days.

That year, Emperor Qianyuan did not recruit any concubines, and did not re-enter the harem until a year later.

In the same year, Emperor Qianyuan made the one-year-old Zhang Yuanxiao, the legitimate son of the deceased Empress Yuan, the crown prince, and later made the former imperial concubine Li Shi his successor.

However, although Li was the successor, he was not favored by Emperor Qianyuan. He only wanted to consolidate the court, and he did not have any children.

Prince Zhang Yuanxiao was personally raised by Emperor Qianyuan, and the relationship between father and son was deep.

As the prince Zhang Yuanxiao grew up, his appearance became very similar to that of the Yuan Dynasty. He was handsome, intelligent, and capable in both civil and military affairs, and he was deeply loved by Emperor Qianyuan.

Now, in the 26th year of Qianyuan, the prince is already 22 years old, and his relationship with Emperor Qianyuan and his son is still as good as before. Even the other two princes in the palace, the second and third princes, are incomparable.

In the 21st year of Qianyuan, the prince got married at the age of 17 and married Shen Xiyao, the legitimate daughter of Marquis Anwu.

In the 22nd year of Qianyuan, the Crown Princess Shen Xiyao gave birth to the Crown Prince's legitimate son. Emperor Qianyuan was so happy that he named her Chengjia that day.

Now, in the 26th year of Qianyuan, after four years, the Crown Princess is pregnant again. Now, it is already four months...

-

It was spring in the East Palace, and a woman in imperial attire sat quietly in front of the window, staring blankly at the lilies swaying in the wind outside the carved window.

The woman in palace attire is about twenty years old. She is dressed in splendor and has extremely beautiful facial features. But if you look closely, you can't help but frown slightly.

The woman's facial features are extremely beautiful. If she wore heavy makeup, she would be a stunning beauty. However, the makeup on her face was very light, which abruptly reduced her original nine-point appearance to a five-to-six-point appearance.

The snow-green palace dress was barely wrapped around her body, covering her thin body.

This light-colored palace dress suppressed her original good color a bit.

She looked quietly at the lilies outside the window, placing her little hands on her slightly protruding abdomen, her eyes dull and vaguely dead.

After sitting for a long time, it feels like a statue, lifeless.

Caiyun came in with the maids, and what she saw was this scene, and she couldn't help but feel pain in her heart.

The Princess was not like this in the past. I thought that she would be happy to marry the Crown Prince. On her wedding day, she was dressed in red makeup. I don’t know how many girls in the boudoir in Beijing envied her. But who could have thought that Princess would live a happy life after her wedding?

It became what it is now.

Caiyun's eyes fell on the lilies swaying in the wind outside the window again. She felt it was extremely dazzling and wanted to eradicate them immediately. But unfortunately, these lilies were picked by the prince himself. It has been five years now. The prince has no idea about the lilies.

Hua Baobao is so special that he is even assigned several eunuchs to look after him.

I still remember that four years ago, a young eunuch took care of a lily until it almost withered. He and other young eunuchs who took care of the lilies were all beaten with canes and beaten half to death.

From that time on, everyone in the Prince's residence knew that these lilies were the Prince's favorites and everyone had to treat them with caution.

The prince's favorite thing is to stop in front of the lilies, as if he is thinking about something quietly.

Even everyone in the Prince's Mansion knew who the Prince planted this lily for, just because that person liked lilies. The Prince once praised that person as pure and beautiful as a lily.

But unfortunately, these lilies were not only planted in Zhenminyuan, which had been vacant for several years from the beginning, but also outside the main courtyard.

Visible through the window, one by one, like needles, pierced into Ge Ge's heart, making her heart blurred with blood and dripping with blood.

"Gege, it's time for lunch." Caiyun calmed down her emotions, walked over, and said softly.

Although her own Princess has been married to the Prince's Mansion for five years, Caiyun, as the maid in charge who has been with Shen Xiyao since she was a child, not only calls her Princess in public, but also calls her Princess in private, and Princess also likes her.

The slender eyelashes trembled, and Shen Xiyao came back to her senses. She slowly turned her head, stood up, and was supported by Caiyun and walked over.

Caiyun supported her own princess, feeling the weight of the skinny hands, and sighed silently in her heart.

Shen Xiyao was helped to sit down.

The maids have already placed meals on the table. There are about eight dishes, and they look delicious and delicious.

The Crown Princess's meal portions are of course more than these, but Shen Xiyao only eats alone most of the time and is unwilling to waste. She reduced her meal portions several years ago. Today, she has eight dishes because of the prince.

Shen Xiyao looked at the food on the table with a calm expression and asked, "Where is the Crown Prince? Didn't you say he would come over for dinner?"

Shen Xiyao's voice was clear and cold, as crisp as jade hitting each other.

As soon as he finished speaking, a childish voice came from outside, "Mom, the baby is here."

A child in an azure brocade robe walked in quickly.

The child is about four years old, probably because he has started practicing martial arts. His body is relatively strong, his face has red lips and white teeth, he looks like a fairy boy under the seat of Bodhisattva, and he has a pair of red phoenix eyes inherited from the royal family of the Wei Dynasty. With majesty.

"Chengjia is here." When Xu Shi saw his son, Shen Xiyao's faint eyebrows curved a little, and her eyebrows became softer.

She pulled the child in front of her and looked at it carefully, "What did Chengjia do this morning?"

"Mother, Chengjia studied with Master Xing today and copied several large characters. The master praised the child for his progress."

"Okay, okay." Shen Xiyao listened, the smile on her face deepened a little, and she couldn't help but nod.

"Gege, Your Majesty, you didn't have any snacks this morning. Now you should have lunch earlier. You will continue studying at Mr. road.

Caiyun and Zhuiyue were the maids brought by Shen Xiyao when they were in the boudoir.

The two maids have been by Shen Xiyao's side since childhood and grew up together. They are also the sons of the Shen family, the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion.

After Shen Xiyao married the prince, two maids also came with her.

Caiyun is the maid in charge of Shen Xiyao. After Chengjia was born, Zhuiyue took care of Chengjia.

"Yes, E Niang, let's eat first, don't make you and your brothers and sisters hungry." Chengjia looked at E Niang's thinning body and slightly protruding belly, with a look in his eyes that was not suitable for his age. worries.

Shen Xiyao was silent for a moment and finally nodded, "Okay, let's have dinner."

Shen Xiyao didn't like the maids serving the meal, and now four-year-old Chengjia could already eat steadily for herself. It was a rare warmth for mother and son to eat together without anyone else disturbing them.

Although Chengjia is only four years old now, he has already practiced martial arts and his daily appetite has increased.

After having a meal in the morning, Chengjia didn't have any snacks while taking a rest, as he would have been hungry already.

Although there isn't much food on the dining table, most of it is what he likes.

However, while Chengjia was eating, he still looked at his mother-in-law from the corner of his eye.

Although E Niang was born into a family of military commanders, she practiced martial arts since she was a child and did not like literature, she was once a boudoir lady with excellent etiquette, and her movements were extremely elegant and decent when eating.

And Chengjia was the crown prince's legitimate son when he was born, and he is currently the only son. He was also brought up very well.

At only four years old, he has the air of a prince in his early drama.

But Chengjia frowned slightly when he saw E Niang eating less and less food.

E Niang eats too little, much less than he does. No wonder E Niang is so thin.

But now that my mother is not in good health and she is pregnant with her younger brother and sister, what should I do if she only eats so little?

"Eniang, this shrimp is delicious, you can try it." Chengjia finally picked up the chopsticks, picked up a shrimp and put it into his own Eniang's bowl.

Shen Xiyao stared blankly at the shrimps in the bowl. When she raised her head, she inadvertently saw the worry in Chengjia's eyes.

Her heart couldn't help but be touched.

"Okay, Mom, eat it."

Shen Xiyao picked up the shrimp and ate it, with a faint smile on her lips.

Chengjia was very happy when he saw his mother eating it.

After that, he brought vegetables to E Niang several times.

Aunt Zhuiyue said that E Niang always ate less in the past, and now that she was pregnant with her younger brother and sister, she used less food. She and Aunt Caiyun were very worried.

But no matter how they tried to persuade her, she couldn't eat it.

Now, E Niang has eaten all the dishes he served.

Then if he takes more, will his mother be able to eat more?

Chengjia simply wanted E Niang to eat more, so the movements under his hands continued.

Shen Xiyao also ate everything he picked up.

Although Caiyun and Zhuiyue did not serve the meal, they were still waiting at the side. Now they are very happy to see that Gege has eaten a lot of the dishes brought by the prince.

The imperial doctor said that Gege's health was very bad.

In the past, Gege ate less and her body gradually became weaker.

Now that you are pregnant, if you eat less, the child in your belly will not get nutrition, and the child may not be born, or may be born with disabilities.

It may even cost one person and two lives.

Neither Caiyun nor Zhuiyue dared to tell the prince about this, for fear of scaring the prince.

It would be great if, with the prince here, he could let Princess eat more.

Perhaps in the future, the prince should be allowed to have meals with Princess more often.
