On top, Zong Zhenglu suddenly mentioned Yu Wenjie, and the woman looked away.
It turned out that Zong Zhenglu just asked her if she could still adapt to the life in Rongguo. Huanci realized that Yu Wenjie spoke Rongguo quite well. When he met her just now, he had not heard her speak Yongguo, so she was surprised.
I forgot about this for a while.
At this time, Zong Zhenglu also mentioned this matter, so Yu Wenjie explained it. Only then did Huan Ci know that her mother was from Rongguo.
Although there were many people at this banquet, it was no different to Huan Ci from usual times. It was still lackluster. Especially since Zong Zhengtang was sitting far away from her, it was even less interesting.
Suddenly, the queen's words caused a thunderous sound on the ground.
"Concubine Hui, I heard from the imperial doctor that you are pregnant. Is this true?"
Everyone subconsciously looked at Liu Rao, all staring at the woman's belly.
Zong Zhenglu smiled lightly: "I only found out about this matter when I got up this morning. It's hard for the queen to worry about it."
Only then did everyone react and quickly congratulated him.
Huan Ci was not surprised. Zong Zhenglu was twenty-two now and had several concubines in the harem, but he had no children. There were many rumors about this, but Huan Ci didn't believe any of them. After all, she knew Liu Rao
I was pregnant once when I was still in Fu Shen's house.
It was precisely because Liu Rao was Fu Shen's concubine and now became a concubine in the palace that the four of them had been arranged all over. Huan Ci curled his lips, poured himself a glass of wine out of boredom, and drank.
In an instant, Fu Shen snatched it away.
"Is Princess Ding'an okay? I heard that you are five months pregnant." Zong Zhenglu suddenly turned his attention to her.
Suddenly everyone looked at Huan Ci again.
It was a good move to surround Wei and rescue Zhao. Huan Ci cursed a few words in his heart, and said with a smile but not a smile: "Everything is fine, I don't need to worry about it, Your Majesty."
"I will send two imperial doctors to live in the prime minister's house today, and then let them come back after the child is born. What do you think?" Zong Zhenglu said.
Fu Shen spoke before her: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
Zong Zhenglu smiled and said, "Xuanmo doesn't have to be so polite to me."
After Zong Zhenglu mentioned this, everyone at the table became concerned about Huan Ci, making her unable to rest any longer.
Fu Shen was even worse than her. He was given one drink after another, even more than he drank on his wedding night.
Huan Ci was already a little tired, so he squeezed Fu Shen's palm under the table, then stood up with his belly in his hands: "Your Majesty, I am not feeling well, can you take a step forward?"
"Not feeling well? Then go back and rest quickly. Gao Qing, you go to the Imperial Hospital to convey my wishes, and take Imperial Physician Hu and Imperial Physician Xu to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion to take care of the birth of Princess Ding'an." Zong Zhenglu.
road.
After thanking him, Huan Ci helped Fu Shen out of the palace. Fu Shen had indeed drunk too much and was not able to walk steadily, so he had to be supported by someone beside him.
The carriage smelled of alcohol, and Huan Ci frowned in disgust and waved his hand in front of his nose. As soon as Fu Shen got on the carriage, he leaned against the wall without even opening his eyes.
Huan Ci pouted and kicked him hard on the calf.
The man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Huan Ci in confusion.
"Let me ask you, what's going on between you and the princess of Yong Kingdom?" Huan Ci asked coldly.
Fu Shen sat up straighter and looked very sleepy: "What?"
"Huh!" Huan Ci turned his head and ignored him.
Normally I don't get drunk after a thousand drinks, but now I can get drunk.
"Ah Ci." Fu Shen called out softly. However, Huan Ci felt really tired and was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he leaned against the chariot wall to rest.
Seeing this, the man also fell silent, and the two of them didn't say another word until they returned home.
At night, Huan Ci went to bed after scrubbing, but it was still early, so she tossed and turned for a long time without falling asleep.
After he showed her his pregnancy, Fu Shen often slept in the study room and only came to the main room once in a while.
For some reason, the scene where Fu Shen and Yu Wenjie were joking today suddenly appeared in her mind, and then many stories came to mind.
Huan Ci suddenly sat up from the bed. She also suffered from what is often said in the folk. Is it possible that her husband is ill?
"Lan Fu, Ah Jin." She called outside.
The two men soon appeared and stared at her suspiciously.
"Send someone up front to inquire and see if Fu Shen is asleep."
"Yes." Lan Fu responded and went out. Zhao Jin poured her a cup of tea and handed it over: "Princess, what's wrong with you? You don't look well."
"I'm fine." Huan Ci shook his head.
After hesitating for a moment, she hooked her fingers at Zhao Jin and asked in a low voice: "Ah Jin, should I give Fu Shen a concubine?"
"Did someone say something?" Zhao Jin frowned and looked at her.
Huan Ci shook his head: "I heard they said that the wives of ministers would give their husbands concubines when they were pregnant. Should I also give Fu Shen one?"
Zhao Jin blinked and said, "I can't say for sure. Men are indeed like this, but the princess is not an ordinary wife. Although your Excellency is the prime minister, you are also a concubine. When I married you, I should have thought about not taking concubines."
Huan Ci sighed. Her identity as a princess came entirely from her father's talents, and she was different from the women born to the royal family in the palace. Moreover, Fu Shen was different from other consorts. He had a high position and was deeply respected.
Zong Zhengli attaches great importance to it.
"In this case, tomorrow you go to Ren Yazi and ask her to buy some decent-looking girls. Or you can ask around to see who has suitable girls. You can ask them to bring them to me. If I think they are good,
Let Fu Shen take a look again."
"What do you want me to see?" Fu Shen suddenly opened the door and came in.
Huan Ci looked surprised: "Why are you here?"
"I heard from Lan Fu that you haven't gone to bed yet, so I came here to take a look. What are you master and servant discussing?"
Huan Ci hurriedly lifted the quilt and got off the ground. He walked to the man and said, "Ah Mo, I'm discussing with Ah Jin about taking a concubine for you. It depends on what you like, and I can let others follow your advice.
Look at it and pick it out.”
Fu Shen frowned: "Why did you suddenly take a concubine for me?"
Zhao Jin had already noticed something was wrong and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The princess just mentioned it casually and discussed it with me."
"Get out." Fu Shen said coldly.
Because of his suddenly gloomy expression, Huan Ci was stunned in place for a moment, and didn't come back to his senses until the sound of the door closing.
"Okay, why are you angry?" She stepped forward and took Fu Shen's arm, pulling him towards the couch.
Fu Shen stood motionless in the distance, looking her up and down: "Did someone say something to you?"
"No one said anything to me. I was just thinking about you, so why did I offend you?" Huan Ci also felt a little aggrieved.
There was a trace of disbelief in Fu Shen's eyes, and he said coldly: "Huan Ci, is this how you see me?"
"What's wrong with me?" Huan Ci's voice rose a bit, and he was a little excited, "I'm just like an ordinary wife. Did I do something wrong?"
"Who told you to be like them? You don't have to imitate them." Fu Shen said softly.
But Huan Ci still felt angry. Could it be that she wanted to give Fu Shen a concubine because of what happened in the palace today? Thinking of this, she sneered: "I didn't know. There must be some stories between you and the princess of Yong Kingdom."
.Otherwise, why would she call Xuanmo so affectionate? I just invited her to be a guest in my house, so you were so anxious that you pinched me secretly, fearing that you had something secret in your heart and didn't want me to notice."
"You-" Fu Shen stared at her dumbfounded and didn't say a word for a long time.
Huan Ci became more and more depressed and shed two tears unconsciously: "I don't want to see you, please go out."
Fu Shen took two steps forward and wanted to reach out to touch her, but Huan Ci could only avoid her: "I'm tired and I want to rest. You can go out."
The room fell into an eerie silence, Huan Ci wiped his tears, and Fu Shen's heavy breathing could be heard from time to time.
"Aci."
As soon as the man opened his mouth, he was interrupted by a voice outside the door.
"Third Master, the Emperor has sent someone here."
Fu Shen glanced at the woman sitting on the couch crying, while the people outside the door were still urging him. He frowned unconsciously, and after a while he raised his feet and walked out the door.
After the door closed, Huan Ci's tears became more and more violent, and she unconsciously covered her face with a handkerchief. When the sound of footsteps came, she raised her eyelids expectantly, and it was Zhao Jin who came.
"What's going on?" Zhao Jin hurriedly stepped forward to help her wipe away her tears.
Huan Ci held her arm and sobbed, letting her gently touch her back.
"Actually, I can understand my lord. You're so lucky, but you suddenly said you wanted to take a concubine for him. He must have felt that there was something wrong between the two of you."
"Then why did he hurt me?" Huan Ci sobbed.
Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows: "I was listening outside for a long time, but I didn't hear your voice. Is he being mean to you?"
"I forgot." Huan Ci looked at Zhao Jin awkwardly, "Then why did he stop talking when I mentioned other women?"
"What other woman? Who?" Zhao Jin was really puzzled.
Huan Ci sighed: "I mentioned the new princess of Yong Kingdom, but he didn't say a word."
"Puch -" Zhao Jin covered his mouth and laughed.
Huan Ci frowned and looked at her, then heard her whisper in his ear: "I said why you suddenly want to help me take a concubine, it turns out it's because you are jealous."
"I'm talking to you about business, but you're making fun of me." Huan Ci reached out and patted her shoulder lightly.
Zhao Jian smiled and helped her up: "Master Fu won't be back for a while. There must be something going on in the palace, so I called him. You don't have to think too much, tomorrow is his birthday, you should treat him well."
Prepare a birthday gift and take care that everything will be fine."
"Alas!" Huan Ci touched his bulging belly, "I don't know why the palace is looking for him. Is there anything important that can't be done so late at night?"
The more he thought about Huan Ci, the more he felt something was wrong, so he whispered: "Send someone to watch at the second door. As soon as he comes back, come and report."
"I'll go right away, don't worry." Zhao Jin helped her lie down, "Stop thinking so wildly, you're still healthy."
"Well, go ahead!" Huan Ci nudged her.
Originally, she planned to wait until Fu Shen came back before sleeping. But she worked hard all day and cried again at night. As a result, she fell asleep not long after it touched the pillow.
Late at night, Fu Shen came back and looked at her from a distance at the door, told people to take good care of her, and then left quickly.
Huan Ci was sleeping soundly and knew nothing about it.
