"What am I talking about? Why did you go out so early in the morning?" Huan Ci held his stomach and got down.
Suddenly, the little thing in her belly moved, causing her to freeze in place.
"It's really rare that he finally moved once." Zhao Yan smiled broadly and hurriedly came over to help her.
Huan Ci stared at his belly depressedly: "I hope he comes out soon and doesn't embarrass her mother too much."
The little baby in the belly seemed to understand this and moved slightly, making the two of them giggle.
"Why don't you sit down?" Fu Shen suddenly appeared outside the door, staring at her with his hands behind his hands.
"He kicked me again." Huan Ci smiled and walked up to the man and handed him tea.
Fu Shen took the tea and put it on the table. He helped Huan Ci sit down and put his hand on her belly: "He is not willing to move today."
"What does Chen Hui want from you?" Huan Ci looked at him and asked.
The man's eyes were fixed on her face and he said softly: "He just wants me to meet the official here. I just don't know what he means. Last night it seemed that he was very reluctant for me to come here, but this morning he was so respectful."
After hearing this, Huan Ci subconsciously looked outside the house and saw that they were all acquaintances, so he lowered his voice and said, "You can't be deceiving, right?"
"It's hard to say." Fu Shen shook his head, staring at his belly with a smile in his eyes, and advised the little guy very gently, "Don't embarrass your mother."
As soon as he finished speaking, the child actually stopped moving. Huan Ci looked at his lower abdomen in surprise and said with a smile: "Okay, you, it turns out you are also a bully and shy of the strong."
Zhao Jin was so amused by her that he burst into laughter, and Fu Shen looked at her with a slight curl of his lips.
Huan Ci pursed his lips: "What? Is what I said wrong?"
The little guy in her belly kicked her gently, as if to answer her words.
"Wait until you come out and see how I deal with you." Huan Ci lowered his head and threatened. These words actually had an effect, and the child immediately became quiet again.
Huan Ci smiled and sighed, and said to Zhao Jian: "First get some water for me to wash up, and then we will serve the food." After saying that, she turned to look at Fu Shen: "Have you eaten yet?"
"No, let's use them together." Fu Shen shook his head.
Huan Ci frowned slightly and said in a serious tone: "They are too ignorant to call you here so early and yet they don't even let you have a meal."
Fu Shen didn't care about these words, he just walked to the door and ordered someone to set the meal. Huan Ci was wiping his teeth aside, and the people in the kitchen had already brought something.
After entering the door, the woman bowed to the two of them, and then said loudly: "Master Chang Shi specially ordered us to cook the dishes from the capital. If you are not used to it, you must tell us."
"very good already."
Huan Ci heard Fu Shen talking to his mother-in-law.
She wiped her face and walked over, seeing a lot of things on the table.
"How can we finish eating this? Ah Jin, come over and use some."
Zhao Jin raised her eyes and looked at Fu Shen, feeling a little hesitant. She usually ate with Huan Ci occasionally, but that was when Fu Shen was not around. Today, the man was here too and she didn't dare to come forward.
Fu Shen quickly noticed that she was at a loss and didn't say anything. He just said to Huan: "Eat quickly. After eating, I have to go to the Governor's Mansion."
"What are you going to do this time?" Huan Ci asked Fu Shen while waving to Zhao Jin.
"Of course it's for the sake of reform," the man said softly.
Huan Ci had already guessed it, so he stopped talking to him about it and started eating with his head down.
At this time, Fu Shen suddenly said: "I saw Li Jinxiu here today. I heard that he came from Jizhou and will go back soon."
"Jizhou? Isn't Kong Lin stationed there?" Huan Ci raised his eyebrows. Their next destination was Jizhou, but they didn't expect to meet an acquaintance so early.
Fu Shen nodded and said in a very low voice: "He knows that you are also here. He just said that he would come to see you later."
"Oh." Huan Ci blinked guiltily and secretly observed Fu Shen's every move.
After all, she had been engaged to Li Jinxiu before, so she felt embarrassed hearing his name from Fu Shen's mouth.
Fu Shen hummed softly and concentrated on eating his rice. Seeing this, Huan Ci raised his eyelids and looked at Zhao Jin, then stuck out his tongue at the other person.
She just assumed that Zhao Jin didn't know about her affair with Li Jinxiu, but Fu Shen had just left the house when Zhao Jin moved his chair next to her: "You are talking about Li Jinxiu from Bingzhou."
"It's him, do you know him?" Huan Ci looked at Zhao Jian in surprise.
Zhao Jin shook his head: "I don't know him, but I've heard of him. I heard that he is the Queen Mother's nephew."
"It's him." Huan Ci affirmed.
However, although they had this relationship, Li Jinxiu did not stay in the capital. Instead, he went to Jizhou with Kong Lin. Jizhou was also an important place, so he must be of great use to Zong Zhenglu.
"Has he been engaged to you?" Zhao Jin hesitated before speaking.
Huan Ci raised his eyebrows slightly: "You actually know about this?"
"Not only do I know, there are quite a few people there who know about it. I heard a lot of rumors about you before I met you." Zhao Yan said with a beaming eyebrow.
Huan Ci pursed his lips helplessly. Zhao Jin's hometown was originally close to Bingzhou, which was not unusual. But when he thought of the complicated rumors about her, it was difficult for Huan Ci to laugh.
After finishing her meal, she rested on the chaise longue, holding a book and reading. Not long after, a little maid came in through the door. When she saw her, she said: "Princess, someone is looking for you outside, saying that you know
who is it."
Huan Ci and Zhao Jin looked at each other, both of them knew who was coming.
"Invite him in and make a new pot of tea." Huan Ci ordered.
She hurriedly stood up and sat down, tidying up her clothes. Zhao Jin looked at the way the woman was dressing up and secretly covered her mouth and smiled.
Within a moment, a slender young man was led into the house by his servants.
Looking at the handsome and handsome man in front of him, Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, and was secretly surprised. This man was not worse than Fu Shen, and he could be regarded as one of the best among men.
She hurriedly stepped forward to guide Li Jinxiu to sit down and brought him a cup of tea.
As soon as Li Jinxiu entered the house, he first looked at the furnishings in the house. In fact, it was not a coincidence that he came here, but someone asked him to come.
"Are you still getting used to it?" He raised his eyes and looked at Huan Ci, but his mind was filled with Kong Lin's words.
"You must protect her."
The boy said that this was what his father had said to him before, and he didn't doubt it. It was just that he already had a husband, and the husband was also the prime minister, so there was no need for him to worry about it.
It's a pity that he couldn't defeat Kong Lin. The two were such good friends, so there was nothing wrong with him coming to see them.
But when he arrived last night, he realized that Kong Lin's worries were justified. He never expected that a Qin governor, Shi, would dare to show Fu Shen's face. If he hadn't come, he didn't know what kind of farce would have happened.
He looked at Fu Shen intently, and it was difficult to ignore the woman's bulging belly in his peripheral vision.
The man in front of him was slightly lost in thought. Huan Ci blinked at him and said, "You're used to living here, you don't need to worry about this."
"That's good." After Li Jinxiu said this, he didn't know what to say.
Huan Ci looked at him with a smile and asked, "Why did you come to Qinzhou suddenly?"
"I heard you were coming, so I came over to take a look." Li Jinxiu didn't intend to hide it.
This answer surprised Huan Ci. She felt a little grateful and said with a smile, "Thank you very much."
Li Jinxiu waved his hands hurriedly: "You shouldn't thank me, I was also entrusted by Ziye."
"Oh?" Huan Ci raised his eyebrows.
Looking at her doubtful eyes, Li Jinxiu nodded and said: "That's what Ziye meant. Your Majesty didn't send me a message, but you are always going to Jizhou, so it doesn't matter if I come first. Besides, Qinzhou is really the place to go."
Fix it, fix it.”
"What happened last night was your fault?" Huan Ci suddenly reacted.
Li Jinxiu smiled: "It's not entirely because of me. I think Chen Hui doesn't want to see you guys setting up tents at the city gate."
Huan Ci smiled shyly, and his earlobes turned red.
At this time, familiar footsteps suddenly sounded outside, and Huan Ci could tell it was Fu Shen based on the sound.
She quickly got off the bed and walked to the door, and immediately saw the man who had just come in: "Why are you back so soon?"
The very meticulously dressed woman in front of him made Fu Shen raise his eyebrows. He looked around the room and soon saw Li Jinxiu coming out of the inner room.
"I think Chen Hui went back to sleep. I waited for him for a long time and didn't come, so I came back first."
"How dare this happen?" "How dare he do this?" Huan Ci and Li Jinxiu both blurted out.
Fu Shen's eyes swept over the two of them and sneered: "It's nothing strange. This kind of thing is not difficult to predict."
"I will send someone to call him over right now and ask him to come to the inn to apologize to you in person." Li Jinxiu stepped forward and said.
Fu Shen's eyes flashed with amusement, and he smiled and said: "No need to bother. I have already met Cao Sima, he must have understood what I said."
Huan Ci didn't understand this, but Li Jinxiu knew what it meant. Chen Hui and Cao Jiu had always been at odds with each other. Although this was not a secret, it was not something everyone knew. I think Fu Shen had learned about it in detail before he came.
Given the situation here, it seemed that his worries about the man were unnecessary.
Seeing that they both seemed to understand, Huan Ci blinked in confusion and was about to ask a few more questions when Huan Ci stepped forward to support her: "Don't stand in the wind, go in and sit down."
"Look at me, I'm so busy with political affairs that I've forgotten about this." Li Jinxiu said, patting his head.
Huan Ci smiled at him and let Fu Shen lead her into the back room.
The three of them sat face to face on the Luohan Tower, but for a moment they didn't know what to say.
"What's going on with you and Ziye now? Are you married?"
After thinking for a long time, Huan Ci finally found something to ask.
Somehow, after hearing this, Li Jinxiu subconsciously looked at Fu Shen, feeling guilty for no reason. However, he had married as early as last fall, and his parents quickly found a new wife for him after he passed the imperial examination, and
Zongzhenglu's matchmaking is also indispensable.
But now he didn't want to talk about it. Somehow, he looked at Huan Ci and said, "Ziye hasn't married yet?"
"Really?" Huan Ci asked back, but she didn't take it to heart. She originally asked casually.
Fu Shen, who was sitting next to her, had some reaction after hearing these words. He stared at Li Jinxiu closely with a somewhat deep look.
Li Jinxiu suddenly felt his mouth was dry and he quickly picked up the tea cup and took a big sip of tea.
