Pregnancy is a hard job for a woman. Huanci has to wake up three or four times every night these days, and tonight is no exception.
Around the time when she was about to die, she woke up from her dream and Zhao Jin heard the noise and came in to serve her.
"Is Xuan Mo back?" She slowly stood up and asked.
"I'm back. I just came to see you, but I just stopped for a moment and then left again."
"You go get some clothes and I'll go over and see him."
"This can't be done," Zhao Jin hurriedly shook his head, "It's very cold outside, and the Lord must have gone to bed at this time. Why should the princess go all the way in vain? I just asked someone to go and take a look."
"Ajin, I want to go and see for myself." Huan Ci helped her stand up.
Today is Fu Shen's birthday, and she doesn't want to be angry with him on this day.
Zhao Yan couldn't resist her, so in the end he had to wrap her up tightly and took several people with her to the study outside.
The lights in the outer courtyard were dim, and the lights in the study had been turned off. People who were going to bed saw Huan Ci rushing over. Huan Ci glanced at the dark study for a few times and asked in a low voice: "Have you slept?"
"I've already rested," the boy replied.
"What time do you want to sleep?"
"I just fell asleep for two quarters of an hour." The boy said softly, "Now go in and tell me that my wife is here."
"No need, let him have a good rest." Huan Ci shook his head, turned around and walked out.
It was indeed very cold tonight. She hugged the hand stove and walked back quickly when she suddenly saw two familiar figures in front of her.
They just passed by in a flash, and Huan Ci felt that what he saw was not very clear, so he turned to Zhao Jin and asked, "Did you see the people over there just now?"
"No, the princess has misunderstood." Zhao Jin shook his head.
She asked the people behind her, but they all said they hadn't seen it. She also asked people to look for it in front, but no one was found.
Huan Ci felt uneasy and hurriedly returned to the outside of the study.
When the boy who had gone to bed last night saw her coming back, he couldn't hide the panic on his face for a while.
Huan Ci walked forward and stared at him coldly: "Is Fu Shen here?"
"He's sleeping." The boy whispered.
Huan Ci snorted coldly, pushed him away and entered the house.
She walked forward alone, and everyone hurriedly lit the lamps. The room suddenly became bright, and everything around her could be seen at a glance.
There was no one on the bed, not even the quilt had been opened. Huan Ci went over and touched it, and it was indeed cold and no one had been there.
"Where did Fu Shen go?" she angrily walked to the door and asked the boy.
The boy hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed his head one after another: "I don't know this! Master, please spare me!"
Huan Ci gave him a cold look and said to Zhao Jin, "Ah Jin, let's go back."
The distance from the outer study to the main room was not far, but Huan Ci became more and more heartbroken as she walked. Ever since her father passed away, she felt helpless. Although she was married to Fu Shen, she always felt that the man had hidden a lot from her.
He always doesn't tell her anything that's on his mind.
This was not the first time she was pregnant, but this time she was very uncomfortable. She used to vomit everything she ate and felt nauseous even when she drank water. Now she couldn't sleep well every night, either with stomachache or waking up at night.
Moreover, she heard from the women that this was not the most uncomfortable time. Later on, the belly would also become ugly, and she would feel tired when walking every day.
The pain of the last miscarriage was still vivid in her mind. Now she was working hard, but Fu Shen had this attitude. He was absent day by day and even sneaked out at night. If it was for serious matters, how could he hide it from her?
Huan Ci became more and more sad and began to cry in the wind.
They didn't go back for a long time, and Lan Fu couldn't help but get anxious, so she ran out to have a look. Seeing Huan Ci like this, she and Zhao Jin looked at each other, and finally stood beside her and coaxed her softly.
Not knowing how to walk back to the room, Huan Ci only felt a headache and fell asleep again under the service of the two of them.
Perhaps because she caught a cold at night, she couldn't get enough sleep that day and didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning.
Today was Fu Shen's birthday, and guests were arriving one after another. Huan Ci couldn't sleep too much, so he finally got to the ground after struggling several times.
Originally, she and Fu Shen had discussed it and didn't plan to make a big deal out of it, but Zong Zhenglu suddenly mentioned this matter a few days ago and said that he wanted to come to celebrate his birthday, so they had no choice but to hold a banquet.
Today, many princesses and concubines came, and Huan Ci was the only hostess in the house, so she had no choice but to dress up and go out to entertain the guests.
What was rare was that Zong Zhengtang also came, and walked over with a smile as soon as he saw her.
"You can sleep, let me wait here." The woman said with a sweet smile.
Huan Ci blinked apologetically: "I didn't sleep well last night, so I just didn't want to get up. I'm really sorry."
"I'm joking with you, you really take it to heart." Zong Zhengtang said hurriedly.
Huan Ci pulled her and looked around her in confusion: "Did you come by yourself?"
"I came here with Your Majesty and Princess Yong. What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty is already here? Why didn't I hear anything about it?"
"He didn't want to disturb others, so he came in secretly through a side door. He must be in Fu Shen's study now, but for some reason, the princess of Yong Kingdom also followed."
"She went to Fu Shen's study?" Huan Ci narrowed his eyes.
Zong Zhengtang was shocked to realize that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly said, "There must be something important to discuss."
"It should be," Huan Ci twitched his lips and ordered the servants, "You should take the princess to the garden first."
Looking at Zong Zhengtang's puzzled eyes, she explained: "I asked people to set up a stage there. The singing must have started right now. You go over and watch first. I'll greet the others and I'll be there in a while.
Looking for you."
Although Zong Zhengtang had doubts, Huan Ci looked normal and she didn't want to say anything more, so she followed the servants away.
After she walked away, Huan Ci waved away everyone, leaving only Zhao Jin and Lan Fu.
"You guys come with me to the outer study. I will definitely see you when Your Majesty comes."
How could the two of them not guess what she was thinking, but they were servants after all, so they couldn't say much else, so they followed Huan Ci outside.
Just when they reached the hanging flower gate, the three of them suddenly heard someone talking outside the wall.
Huan Ci quickly stood on the spot, looking at the two people standing under the tree in the distance. Fu Shen was facing away from her, looking down at the woman in front of him, and opposite him was Yu Wenjie.
In the empty yard, the woman's voice came clearly: "Thank you very much for last night."
"Princess, you're welcome." Fu Shen whispered softly.
Yu Wenjie lowered her head and smiled: "I feel very sorry that you have to go there in person so late at night." After that, she took out something from her arms, but unfortunately it was blocked by Fu Shen, so Huan Ci couldn't see clearly. She
I saw the woman handing the thing in her hand to Fu Shen, blushing and saying, "This is my thank you gift."
Fu Shen's shoulders moved, but he no longer knew whether he had stopped or not.
Huan Ci was about to walk over when he suddenly saw the woman step forward and put her arms around Fu Shen's waist, looking here: "Actually, I will never forget you, Amo."
Suddenly being hugged by her, Fu Shen was startled and quickly took half a step back. After catching the woman's gaze, he turned his head and looked back. The moment he saw Huan Ci, he suddenly understood what the woman was thinking.
.
But Huan Ci looked shocked, as if he had really been tricked by her.
Fu Shen frowned and was about to go over, but saw Huan Ci leaving the maid behind him and walking over on his own.
"What's going on? What opera are you singing? I want to hear it too." Huan Ci said sarcastically as he came over.
Yu Wenjie's face turned red, she lowered her head and covered her mouth with a handkerchief without saying a word, looking like a little woman.
Huan Ci raised his head and looked at Fu Shen: "Where is your Majesty? Didn't I say that he is here too? Why are there only the two of you?"
Fu Shen was about to speak, but was interrupted by Huan Ci.
"Why is it that there is no one around to serve you? Are the people in our house so ignorant of the rules?"
Huan Ci stared at Fu Shen coldly and asked. Although she was angry, she was not angry yet. It was Yu Wenjie who took the initiative just now, and she could not control this kind of thing. But the two of them were standing here alone, Fu Shen.
Shen didn't have any taboos, which really made her angry.
"Aci." Fu Shen grabbed her hand and rubbed it twice, "Why did you run out when it's so cold?"
Huan Ci gently broke away and smiled at him: "Look, I've been so busy that I've forgotten all about it. I haven't even congratulated you on your birthday yet."
Then she turned back and took a small box from Zhao Jin and handed it to Fu Shen: "This is my gift to you."
Fu Shen stared at Huan Ci closely, took the box from her hand, and opened the lid in front of several people. Inside the box was an exquisite jade crown, which was actually the crown gift that Huan Ci wanted to give to Fu Shen five years ago.
It's just that I couldn't send it out because of what happened later.
This jade crown came from a famous artist, and she spent a lot of money to get it. The innocent smile on the man's face made Huan Ci feel a lot more comfortable.
At this time, Yu Wenjie suddenly reached out and touched the jade crown, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I actually gave you the same thing. The one I gave you is also a jade crown, but it's not as good as yours."
The smile immediately froze on his face. Huan Ci pursed his lips, raised his eyes and looked at Fu Shen. The man looked a little embarrassed, and seemed to be in a panic. He stared at Huan Ci and refused to look away.
Huan Ci curled his lips and said with a smile: "The princess is interested."
Yu Wenjie punched the cotton, not knowing how to use her eighteen martial arts skills, so she could only look at the two of them with a harmless smile.
"So you are here, making it easy for me to find you." Zong Zhenglu's voice suddenly came from another station.
Huan Ci was frightened by the sudden sound and his heart was beating fast. He glanced at him resentfully: "Your Majesty is really silent. There was no movement at all when he walked over."
"It's my fault." Zong Zhenglu shook his head with a smile, glanced at the hanging flower door, frowned and asked, "Why are you all standing here?"
"I heard from Tang'er that Your Majesty is here, so I came here specifically to take a look." Huan Ci explained.
Zong Zhenglu smiled understandingly, took a few steps forward, and said with a smile: "Come here, I have something to tell you."
Huan Ci raised his eyebrows slightly and followed him to a place some distance away from the two of them: "What are you doing?"
"Help you take revenge." Zong Zhenglu smiled broadly.
Huan Ci couldn't help but laugh out loud, and his mood instantly improved a lot: "Thank you very much."
"No, I have something to ask you."
"Ah? What's the matter?" Huan Ci looked at him confused.
The man sighed lowly: "I want to know if Aunt Tang has any intention of remarrying, but I don't know how to ask, so please ask."
"It's a small matter, just leave it to me." Huan Ci said with a smile.
