The little lady in the dining room

Chapter 119 Seasickness
Xie Zhao couldn't help laughing on the way back to Zichen Palace.

On the one hand, he felt that her method was a bit of a big deal, and on the other hand, he felt that he should agree with her to do so, and then he only said to himself: That's all, it's pretty good, anyway, this stupid pear is growing up.

Xueli's idea was to ask him to help her lead a concubine, and let her occasionally ask Ann or something, which can be regarded as adding a boost to the harem—even if it's just a nominal boost, it can make Li It's better for the concubine to have more scruples than she has no acquaintances in the harem now.

As for why it is said that this trick is "drawing inferences from one instance" and that he taught it, Xueli said it quite straightforwardly: "The fox is pretending to be the tiger, what did your majesty say when he asked Mr. Wei to go to Gong Zhengsi to save me?"

Wei Chen said he was her godbrother.

Xie Zhao laughed when he thought about it.Well, although this method is not so smart and appropriate in his opinion under the current situation, it is indeed a method.The relationship between the court and the court is intricate, at least it is not a bad thing to have more connections, and such a high-ranking connection can indeed play a supporting and intimidating effect.

Xueli probably didn't think about using this trick to shock Li Fei forever, but just wanted to use this trick to slow down the limelight temporarily, so it's up to her.

But in fact, this stupid pear's worry is completely superfluous.

Xie Zhao knew very well that Concubine Li had no ability to reach out to the imperial court to harm her.Concubine Li has no brains in doing things, so she might just rush over and point at her and scold her, but what she's worried about is poisoning or something...

This group of people in front of the imperial court is not a decoration.

How did this Sydney live like a frightened bird by his side?

Xie Zhao thought about this and had to agree to her "precautions" - she is too nervous now, so it is useless for him to explain these things to her, he can only do what she said, and arrange these countermeasures according to her thinking, Only then can she feel at ease.

Fortunately, it won't be long, and she will go on a southern tour in a while, these days she wants to spend a lot of time to greet the concubine every day and let her go, as long as she can live a more comfortable life.

So that night, the line was drawn.

What she said to the outside world was that Concubine Cheng wanted to meet Sydney.

Concubine Cheng is the mother of the fifth king Xie Ming. When the first emperor passed away, she was in Zhaoyi, and Xie Zhaozun became a concubine.The relationship between Xie Zhao and Xie Ming is fairly close, and occasionally they drink together, ride a horse or something.Concubine Cheng naturally wouldn't make things difficult for the person he likes, and when she heard that she could help, she immediately agreed.

So from the next day, Sydney insisted on running to Concubine Cheng's Palace!
From heat-relieving drinks to various snacks, she always makes a few things to bring with her when she goes.Concubine Cheng liked these things very much, and besides being polite, she would also ask the maids around her to learn from her. Seeing this, Xue Li was a little relieved - after all, her idea was quite troublesome for Concubine Cheng.

But compared to those snacks, Concubine Cheng actually liked Ah Yao more.Ayao was also willing to kiss her, and when she saw her, she called her "Grandma" in a sweet voice, which made Concubine Cheng hug her and didn't want to let her go, and in the end she had to be persuaded by Xue Li, for fear of tiring the Concubine.

Seven or eight days passed like this.On this day, Xueli and Ayao spent a whole day bored in Cheng Taifei's palace, even the work of reciting Tang poems with Ayao was robbed by the dowager, she had nothing to do, so she forcibly copied scriptures for a whole day to relieve her boredom.

As soon as he returned to the small courtyard at night and entered the house, Xingren closed the door: "My lady..."

Xue Li turned her head, and Dou Sha, who went with her, also tightened her expression, and asked her, "What's wrong?"

"Today..." Xingren heaved a sigh of relief, "There were people from Yilan Palace today."

Xueli frowned, and asked what she said when she came, Xingren said again: "It's the maid next to Empress Li. Said that the lady went to see Princess Cheng, so she left."

It really saved her from trouble!
Xueli breathed a little, calmed down, and told her: "I will go to Concubine Cheng every day in the future. If someone asks from Concubine Li, you can still say what you said today, if you mean to cause trouble , you tell them that Concubine Cheng passed me on, and I will never be able to resist the concubine's order."

"No." Xingren bowed his knees, but he didn't feel too nervous, so he withdrew.

Xue Li took A Yao to take a bath, and A Yao wanted to play with the water in the bathtub, so she let her soak, while supporting her, while thinking about her recent mood.

She didn't even know what she was thinking.

It seemed that a heartstring was so tight that she felt that it was unnecessary, but at the same time she was extra cautious in fortifying herself.

Ah, so annoying.

She sighed, feeling a little sad in her heart, feeling that she has been very tired from living recently.Especially during a trip home, she has not been able to fully recover from the state of being carefree and worrying about everything.

Concubine Li, what about...

Xueli fiddled with the water, playing with Ayao casually.

A clear mind told her that she was too nervous right now, in fact, Concubine Li couldn't clean her up behind her back, at most she would just ask her to go like today, and even if she went, Concubine Li might not just What dare you do - isn't that clearly causing trouble in front of His Majesty?

To understand this, she should actually be very confident, but she just wanted to hide.

Maybe it's just because she finds it annoying or unnecessary, she doesn't want to see anyone in the harem, and she doesn't want to have any interaction with them.So when she mentioned this request to see the concubine to the emperor that day, she didn't know whether she really wanted to "prevent problems before they happen" or just wanted to be a turtle.

So annoying, annoying!My forehead is muddy!In fact, it's obviously nothing, but she just feels very depressed recently!
Xueli sniffled sadly, and stretched out her hand to embrace Ayao in annoyance.A Yao was covered in water, and after she hugged her, she rubbed against her. She looked down at the wet marks on her body and laughed, and A Yao also giggled, and then washed A Yao while playing. After being carried out cleanly, Sydney felt a little better again.

Waiting and waiting, it was late June, and it was not until the news of the departure of the southern tour.

A group of people walked for two days by land first, and then changed water routes when they reached the original river.When changing the waterway, Sydney's inexplicably depressed mood was suddenly shocked.

The Yuan River is so wide that it is difficult to see the other side at a glance, but the imperial boat still looks extremely intimidating on this turbulent Yuan River.

The largest boat Sydney has seen before is not a quarter of the size of this one, but it is already a boat with a kitchen and a bedroom.

When she got on the boat, she realized that this place was like the Zichen Palace, the outer hall, the inner hall, the sleeping hall, and the side halls are all clearly separated. Below the deck, there are several small rooms on both sides of an aisle for the people of the Imperial Palace to live in.

This time, Xue Li only brought out the court ladies from the courtyard, and also coerced and lured Su Zixian to accompany her.Right now, they went downstairs to find their own rooms with peace of mind, and Xue Li was held up on top to stare at the emperor.

What the emperor meant was that she had to sleep on the top, and put A Yao on it, after all, it was more comfortable to live up there than down there, and there was still a view to see.

Sydney also wants to see the scenery!But she thought it was too inappropriate!There are several vassal princes accompanying me on this trip. When they have nothing to do, they will inevitably come to see the emperor brother to catch up with each other, right?What's the matter with her staying here?

When they got together, she could not show her face, but what if one of them asked to see Ah Yao?She has to coax A Yao to come, A Yao calls her mother...

Xueli curled up on the couch and hugged her knees arguing with the emperor, "No, no, no! I don't know why, how can this be explained..."

Xie Zhao smiled softly: "What is there to explain? There is nothing wrong with meeting them first. To be honest, you are still a sister-in-law."

sister in law……

Sydney's face turned pale in an instant!After leaving the palace, she finally felt better, so she didn't want to forget about the harem, but suddenly a group of feudal lords called her sister-in-law, and she too... It's hard to describe her mood!
But the emperor convinced her with a look of course!On the first day, Xueli was imprisoned in the bedroom by the emperor in such an awkward manner.

She was lying on the bed in a daze, and A Yao was guarded by Qi Shi, wandering around to see that everything was new.Ayao even found a new fun for herself. She put a cup by the window and watched the water in the cup move as the boat moved, making herself laugh and dance!

That night, the emperor learned of A Yao's hobby, and ordered to bring her a colored glass cup, which didn't seem so troublesome to the eyes.

Then it was smooth overnight.It's been bumpy for two days, and today they have tossed from land to water. Both of them were very tired, so they hugged each other and slept all night without tossing anyone. Sydney slept especially deeply.

The next day, Xie Zhao got up early as usual to take care of government affairs, and Xue Li didn't know how long she had slept in, anyway, she woke up from A Yao's laughter.

When I woke up it didn't feel right.The whole person is a little dazed, feeling in a trance, maybe when eating... and a little nausea.

She felt that she might be tired these two days, so she wanted to take a good rest.Ah Yao is also sensible, she doesn't make trouble when her mother says she is uncomfortable, and continues to watch the water in the glass to amuse herself.Qi Shi also folded a knuckle-sized boat for her and put it in it for her to see. Ayao's eyes widened every time she saw the boat was about to turn over, but maybe the imperial boat was driving smoothly enough, and it never happened. Turn the boat really over.

Near noon, Ah Yao suddenly heard a voice behind him: "Ugh—"

Looking back in amazement, Niang ran to the side of the basin frame at some point, and she was vomiting badly right now.

Xueli groaned inwardly, holding on to the basin until she vomited and turned pale.

She is also inexperienced in this. At first, most of her attention was on A Yao. It was good to see A Yao smirking. Just now... She felt that she had calmed down a bit, so she wanted to hug A Yao to sleep for a while. As a result, I inadvertently saw the swaying water surface in the quilt, and suddenly felt nauseous!
Then her stomach was so upset that she couldn't get over it, and the Dou Sha who was serving her was frightened, helping her and then asking her to rinse her mouth.But she only stopped for a moment at most, as long as the boat shook a little bit, she started again...

Dou Sha couldn't handle it, and was anxious to report to the emperor, but Xue Lisheng stopped her, saying that His Majesty must be taking care of business.

She didn't want him to see her vomit like this!What does it smell like in the boat!

Dou Sha didn't dare to confront her, seeing that she insisted not to give it to His Majesty, so she had to quietly find Bai Nao and Su Zixian. As soon as Bai Momo came in, she happened to see Xue Li throwing up so hard that she couldn't stand up straight, and she was also startled: " This is seasickness! I need to ask the imperial doctor to prescribe medicine!"

Sydney also knew it was seasickness, but when she thought of taking medicine...

"Ouch..." She felt sick from the bottom of her heart when she mentioned eating!Drinking soup and medicine is even more disgusting!
"Mommy..." Xueli tugged at Baimao with tears in her eyes, "No, no, I definitely can't drink it! Why don't you find me some pickles...the sweet and sour ones! I'll take it easy? "

Bai Momo frowned and sighed: "Oh! Then I'll get this for you first, and I'll let the imperial doctor know and let them come later!"

Xueli nodded with a pale face, not daring to say anything.

Therefore, when the emperor was on the deck looking at the surging river and meditating, he smelled a particularly strong sour smell.

Turning around to look, a court lady was slipping in with a plate of pickled coir raincoat cucumbers.

He ignored it and continued to think about his own. After a while, there was another obvious smell of vinegar.

Look again, there are two pieces of sweet and sour garlic in this maid's plate.

Xie Zhao frowned and didn't ask any further questions.After a while, I smelled a sour smell and turned around... I happened to see Su Zixian passing by.

Su Zixian was carrying a large tray. Inside was a dish of dark yellow shredded cabbage, which looked like sour bamboo shoots; another dish was sliced ​​sour radish, and there was also a bowl of thick-colored sour plum soup...

Putting these three things together, not to mention the taste, Xie Zhao was so excited that his tongue was salivating as soon as he took a closer look.

So he called people to stop: "Zixian?"

Su Zixian shuddered all over and stabilized her feet, she turned around and said, "Your Majesty."

The emperor strolled over, stood still in front of her, looked at the three items again, and asked her: "What's going on? Is it for Xueli or Ayao's?"

"Sydney..." Su Zixian didn't dare to lie in front of him, she lowered her head and felt a choke in her throat, "She...she's a little seasick."

"Seasick?" The emperor frowned and went in. Now Su Zixian panicked, chasing after him and shouting "Your Majesty" but didn't dare to say anything to stop him.After chasing him all the way, seeing the emperor arrived in front of the bedroom door, Su Zixian stepped in front of him in a heartbeat, and then knelt down without hesitation!
The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "What's wrong?"

"No...it's nothing..." Su Zixian was on the verge of tears. Her Majesty was about to go in, and her friend was inside, explaining what it means to "lack of manners". She knelt there, and it took her a long time to hold back a sentence, "Inside...the smell inside is not very good."

Xie Zhao thought about it and understood.

He walked past Su Zixian as soon as he walked around, and when he opened the door, a "not so good" smell hit his face.

Looking inside, the windows were wide open for ventilation. Sydney was lying on the couch, her whole body was limp, eating sour radish, sour bamboo shoots and pickled cucumbers, and couldn't help but vomit.

A Yao is very obedient, A Yao is beside her and caresses her chest: "Mother is not uncomfortable! Mother is not uncomfortable!"

After that, several people looked at him and were dumbfounded at the same time.

Nanny Bai and Qi Shi looked at each other, then both lowered their heads and dared not make a sound.The timid Dou Sha had already knelt down and dared not move, and Xue Li was lying on the couch with a helpless expression. Seeing him frowning and approaching, it took him a long time to force out a sentence: "Sorry, I..."

She bent down suddenly and went to the basin beside the couch again, but she didn't spit out anything.

Xie Zhao sighed, sent Dou Sha to call the imperial doctor, and asked Qi Shi to carry Ah Yao out, then sat down on the side of the couch, and touched her forehead: "Is it seasick? Is there any other discomfort?"

"No..." Xueli shook her head weakly, holding onto his wrist and not wanting to let go, but at the same time wanted to send him away, "Small things, leave your Majesty alone..."

"It's been so long, you still want to be polite to me?" Xie Zhao looked at her and chuckled.

Xueli shook her head again, grabbed a few more sour bamboo shoots and stuffed them into her mouth before she dared to speak to him: "I'm not being polite to you, but it's really... ugly and smelly!"

She really didn't have the idea of ​​being polite to him or afraid that he would blame him, she just felt that it was embarrassing for him to see, and it made him mess up!

"Go and do your work..." She pushed him away, and Xie Zhao sat calmly and did not leave.It was funny to see her look like she was too weak to care about other people's thoughts, "appreciated" for a long time, then took a water glass and handed it to her, "Hey, don't hit anyone, rinse your mouth, wait The doctor is here."

Xue Li was stunned, but fortunately she was still clean, so she shrank directly into the quilt and asked sullenly: "Then you can open the window wider..."

Xie Zhao smiled bitterly.While teasing that I don't dislike you, he still opened the window as promised.Then he walked over to the bookshelf to have a look, took out a storybook, sat back on the couch, and leisurely told a story to this pear who was vomiting white.

Sydney was bored in the quilt and listened to it. It was a short story derived from "Journey to the West", which was quite interesting.

As soon as she heard it, she fell asleep, and the feeling of nausea was not so obvious when she was so sleepy.She wanted to sleep with this sleepiness, so she felt that the imperial doctor came to take pulse and ask questions, but she ignored it. Anyway, Dou Sha was there to answer her questions. As for the diagnosis and prescription... Only follow suit.

So sleepy... I almost, almost fell asleep!
Xueli was trying to fall asleep in this feeling of being awake or in a daze, when she suddenly heard Su Zixian screaming in surprise: "Ah!!!"

But even so, she couldn't open her eyes, and then she heard Xie Zhao shouting, "Everyone back down!"

Xue Li frowned, and tried to move her arms to rub her eyes, but Xie Zhao suddenly pressed her: "You are asleep, it's okay."

She finally opened her eyes, without any strength in her body, and asked him in a daze: "Is it serious...Do you need to take medicine..."

If she had to take medicine, she would probably have to vomit.

"Hmm..." Xie Zhao looked at her hesitantly and nodded, "Yes, and two sets..."

Sydney is heartbroken.

"One set to prevent seasickness." Xie Zhao squatted down and stretched his arms around her, putting them close to her ear, with an unbearable smile, "There is another set, for pregnancy prevention."

what? !

Xue Li was completely awakened by this sentence, and sat up all of a sudden, not even feeling any discomfort, and looked at him in panic: "An... what?!"

"Anti-birth." Xie Zhao stood up, exhaled lightly and slowly, and his words were also lightly and slowly, "You are pregnant, almost three months."

Ahhhhh...!
Sydney was inexplicably helpless for a while!She was both happy and scared, and finally she attributed this kind of thinking to the fact that she was not ready!
With trembling thin lips, she slowly raised her eyes to look at him again. He stood firmly in front of her eyes, and the gentle smile in his eyes made her intuitively obsessed.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief, the corner of his mouth slightly raised a smile that was extremely joyful, but his tone sounded a bit bad: "Yes, you, almost three months...that is to say, you..."

That is to say, when she had been with him for about a month... she was already pregnant.

With a flushed face, Xue Li threw herself on the pillow, huddling her body under the quilt, and she didn't know why she was so embarrassed!
