The little lady in the dining room

Chapter 120
Xie Zhao just smiled and watched Xueli put her head on the pillow, and she could roughly feel her current mood—this child was a little bit caught off guard, and he was very surprised, let alone her?

She rubbed her hair in a mess until she turned over and lay obediently, and looked at him with a blink of an eye: "Your Majesty, go get busy... I'm fine."

Xie Zhao laughed out loud, "Stop vomiting?"

Sydney shook her head, thinking that at least it was all right for the time being.

But he still didn't leave, and told her that he had finished reading the important memorial, and he was already thinking about things on the deck just now, so it's okay to be with her for a while.Xueli lay down in it, and let half of the bed come out for him, and the two of them lay down and talked together.

Xue Li touched her belly that was so flat that nothing could be seen: "There are still about... seven and a half months?"

"Yeah." Xie Zhao nodded and said, "It's about the same." Then he made the calculations and said, "I will be born in February or March next year."

It's been a long time.

Sydney thought about it, a little worried.She remembered that when her aunt was pregnant, she couldn't eat this or that. The worst thing was that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family got a few crabs—it was a rare delicacy, but my aunt couldn't eat it either!
It was too painful for her to watch while others were eating happily.

So Xueli bit her lips, and poked her hand out from under the quilt to hold Xie Zhao: "Your Majesty, there are many things you can't eat during pregnancy. Can you... tell the imperial dining room to choose what I can eat and make it more varied?" , or I..."

She wanted to say, "Otherwise, how will I live these seven and a half months!", before she finished speaking, Xie Zhao looked at her seriously, and his gaze collapsed, and he laughed loudly: "Hahahaha!"

This was the first thing she was worried about!
Xie Zhao felt in his heart that this stupid pear really had his own way of life.

He had previously thought that one of her benefits was that she could make her life easier, consciously or unconsciously—such as eating sweets to relieve boredom, or using a stew pot to block the Queen Mother’s mouth. She would often use So little tricks to make the bad things better, live out your own way, and have a high stand when the sky falls!

But this time he couldn't help laughing.He couldn't bear to make her feel like he was laughing at her and wanted to turn around and laugh, but he didn't roll off the couch, so he turned around and hugged her, took a breath, and involuntarily went up to her: "Lizi, you So cute!"

Xueli was dazzled by his kiss, and she was still wondering: when did he start to have the same problem as her?
Hugging Ah Yao, kissing her and boasting how cute she is, this is her hobby!

Xueli wiped her face dully and pushed him: "How funny..."

Xie Zhao was stern, didn't explain much, and promised her that the imperial dining room would satisfy her taste!
In fact, he wanted to say that it would be more normal for her to worry about whether the harem would want to harm her, whether the queen mother would make things difficult for her, etc... But after thinking about it, she was inexplicably worried so much a while ago. He is so defensive that he would rather go to greet Concubine Cheng every day in the scorching summer. Maybe he is a little "thinking during pregnancy" unconsciously.

It's good for her to ignore this now.He would rather she think more simply. It would be a good thing if she could only think about what to eat every day. Anyway, he would definitely block other things for her.

So Xie Zhao hugged her again and got off the couch, and immediately called Chen Jijiang when he got out of the bedroom door, and asked Chen Jijiang to go to the imperial dining room to deliver a message.Thinking about it again, Su Zixian was simply detained to take care of Sydney again. First, she could be with her, and second, what she liked to eat, Su Zixian always knew better than other people in the imperial dining room.

Afterwards, the emperor went back to the house to accompany her, and the earth-shattering news spread throughout the southern tour team before dinner.

——Your Majesty is going to have a child! ! !
——He has been on the throne for eight years!Never had it! ! !
The vassal kings were the first to fry the pot, and each of them sent someone to catch up with the imperial boat in a small boat to ask His Majesty if he was free?Is it convenient to meet people?The younger brother has to respect His Majesty for a glass of wine, right?
Chen Jijiang blocked them one by one bitterly, and said with an apologetic smile, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty is here with Mrs. Ruan, so let's talk about congratulations in two days."

The vassal kings naturally understood, and then turned their heads and ran to Seventh King's boat to find out who this "Ms. Ruan" was - they didn't know, but Seventh King, His Majesty's younger brother, must know.

Xie Han heard the good news and didn't think about how to congratulate him properly, he was asked crazy by his brothers!
To be honest, my head is a bit big, mainly because Sydney's current status cannot be explained clearly in a few sentences.In the end, he could only prevaricate by saying "Her... Anyway, Brother Huang likes her very much! I haven't seen Brother Huang treat anyone so well!"

This is not fooled.After hearing this, the vassal kings had some confidence in their hearts, and while thinking about it, they went back to their own boats, weighing the appropriateness of the gift.

On the imperial boat, the emperor, who had no time to see outsiders, called Chen Jijiang, Xu Shishui and the accompanying palace servants from the Liushang Bureau into the bedroom to discuss the next itinerary.

According to his thinking, it would definitely not work to use the waterway to continue to tossing Sydney - judging by the way she vomited just now, it must be caused by seasickness and morning sickness.How can you bear to vomit like this all the way?No matter how good my body is, I can't bear it.

So he planned to send an edict to the officials along the way, ordering that Shengjia would change to land.After that, go ashore first, and then find a better post house for her or send her directly to the nearest palace to rest and conceive, so as not to be bumped again.

Chen Jijiang felt that the arrangement was good, so he said "promise" and was about to go, but he didn't expect that someone would object to it.

And it's Sydney.

She rested her head on the emperor's lap, thinking about it and said: "Not good... Firstly, it missed His Majesty's business, and secondly, the land road was more bumpy. Thinking about the feeling of bumping all the way in the carriage, I am afraid, and let me go. In posthouses and palaces... I am also afraid."

As before, I was afraid that it would not be too long, but the bumps and bumps passed after a few days of patience.But in the latter case, being unfamiliar with the place is enough to make her feel creepy, plus these places are related to the palace, and he won't be around when the time comes... Thinking about it like this is really frightening to death!

She managed to feel at ease for a few days. In the final analysis, it was because she came out now and stayed away from the disputes in the harem, but as soon as she was put in the post house, the disputes returned!
So Xueli is inevitably a little stubborn on this matter, and sincerely wants to persuade him to take her away—in fact, she thinks the so-called "travel fatigue" is just that, after all, she is the emperor's driver, and she is careful in every place Be careful again.If it is said that this journey can exhaust people, then ordinary people can simply cause a tragedy of extermination...

Xie Zhao looked at her and knew that her thinking was reasonable, so he was a little embarrassed: "Take it as you say..."

"I'm fine now." Sydney looked at him with a smile.

In fact, it's all right now!The whole body is as relaxed as on flat ground!
It seems that the nausea just now was just for a while, and it will pass when it passes.Well, if she only comes here once in a while, she can stand it!
Xie Zhao thought about it for a moment, then smiled: "Forget it. Then let the boat go slowly, and check it in a day. If you think it's okay, go on slowly; if not, I'll send you ashore."

"Yeah!" Sydney readily agreed this time.

So he let the palace people retreat first, and after a while, Qi Shi took Ah Yao back to the bedroom.

A Yao also heard about the "mother's pregnancy". Qi Shi explained it to her in this way: "There is a baby in your mother's belly, it is very small, it will take about a year to grow up, and it will be born when it grows up. Well, then Ah Yao will have younger brothers and sisters."

Ah Yao half understands, half understands, while not understanding why younger siblings are in her mother's womb, and why they have to stay for nearly a year, at the same time, she feels... to have younger siblings!Then I am very happy!

After entering the house, Ayao rushed towards Xueli's belly, and when she was two steps away from touching it, she quickly slowed down her pace, because Qi Shi told her: "Ayao, be careful, younger brothers and sisters are too young now. It might disappear if you’re not careful.”

Therefore, it was only two steps away, and Xiao Ayao tiptoed for a long time before getting closer. In the end, it was Xue Li who took the initiative to reach out and hug her closer, and said with a smile: "Don't be so careful."

Ah Yao is still hiding, especially afraid that if she touches her mother's belly now, her younger siblings will "be gone"! ——Even if she doesn't understand that "no more" means "dead", but it's not enough to have a younger brother and sister who are still alive!
After a long time, Ah Yao's little hand hesitantly touched Xue Li's stomach, looked at the emperor, and she even lowered her voice: "Father... will it take a year?"

"It's not that long, maybe seven or eight months." Xie Zhao smiled, carried her to the bed, and after a moment of silence, asked her, "Do you want younger siblings?"

Sydney waited a little nervously for the answer.

This is what she asked him to ask.After all, before that, she herself had been thinking that it would be better to have children later.The main reason is that Ayao is too young, and she is afraid that if there is another younger one, she will inevitably ignore Ayao.

Now... the child has come, she is happy and worried at the same time, so even though she knows that the birth of this child is not up to A Yao's decision, she still wants to ask her what she means.If Ah Yao is not happy, then it is better for her to spend these seven months to enlighten her than not to enlighten her!

She was so nervous that her hands were about to tear the quilt, A Yao looked at her and then at her father in embarrassment, and then said two words: "Anything is fine."

... all right?whatever?
Both of them didn't understand, and after a moment's delay, it was Xie Zhao who asked, "Ah Yao, anything is fine? Do you want anything?"

A Yao tilted his head and said every word very seriously: "Brothers and sisters are fine!"

Both of them were stunned for a while, and basically understood at the same time.

——She seemed to understand "whether you want a younger brother or sister" as "whether you want a younger brother or a younger sister", so she generously said "anything is fine"!
So Xueli changed the way of asking: "Then if you have a younger brother or younger sister, would Ayao be happy?"

A Yao nodded slightly in a daze, her little face was full of reason: "Happy!"

When the parents were relieved, A Yao sat on the couch and still didn't understand: Why did you ask this?

Inside the room, a family of three was exchanging ideas about adding a fourth child. Outside, Chen Jijiang and several female officials from the Liushang Bureau were worried.

This worry was picked out by the female officer in bed. After hearing that Mrs. Ruan was pregnant, the female officer was briefly happy and took a breath: "Then what if..."

Several people didn't understand what she wanted to say at the time.It took her quite a while before she lowered her voice, and stammered: "Master Chen, you said... You said that when His Majesty usually summons Mrs. Ruan, the movement is... Now Mrs. Ruan is pregnant, what if Your Majesty He...then this...is pregnant..."

She spoke vaguely, and the few of them pondered for a while in a daze, and they understood!
The female officer who is still in bed is worried that His Majesty will not be able to control it.Both of them are still young, just in case... just in case there is a case!At that time, there will be no place to regret it!
Chen Jijiang's first reaction was that she thought she was just worrying about it. Thinking about it carefully, he actually had no confidence in this...

Indeed, His Majesty often tossed her hard enough.Although there are quite a few times when An An hugs her to sleep, but so many times that she has been bullied to the point of crying at night and being unable to get out of bed during the day... this cannot be ignored!
That's still on the premise of being really "lucky" once in a while.This time, it will take seven and a half months, whether His Majesty is in the mood to invite others to ask another question, Chen Jijiang is also panicked when he thinks so.

But he couldn't go in and pat the table and say to His Majesty, "Stay away from Mrs. Ruan for the past seven and a half months"!
Having said that, His Majesty can keep his head away from his body with a single word!
Several high-ranking eunuchs and women who lined up in the palace sighed outside the cabin because of this matter.To be honest, over the years, His Majesty has caused a lot of unnecessary troubles because of having no children. From the courtiers to the Empress Dowager, he mentioned this every now and then.They were watching in the palace, and there was more or less real anxiety in them.

Now that it's finally here, it's still Madam Ruan who is on His Majesty's heart. These few all hope that this child will be born safely.but...

What about this normal "human desire"?

Before night fell, a few people had figured out a way.

After nightfall, the emperor rested on the couch with Sydney in his arms. The door opened slightly, and then closed again in an instant.

Xie Zhao circled Xue Li, feeling unprecedented peace in his heart in the dark, and Xue Li was already happier than all worries, and the two of them lay face to face, and suddenly they became chatty.

As if no matter how much she talked, Xie Zhao asked her, "Are you thirsty?" "Are you hungry?" "Are you feeling unwell?" "Do you still feel like vomiting?".

Sydney answered one by one, and then asked him in turn, "Do you want the prince or the emperor?" ?”.

Xie Zhao replied that the prince and concubine are all good. I will think about the name slowly in the future. It is not ugly to look like anyone. As for calling me father or mother first...

In the darkness, he couldn't help but glared at Xueli: "When I spend a long time with you, I will definitely call you mother first."

Hey, I sound quite resentful about this!
Xue Li curled up in his arms with joy, and told him with a straight face that she could work hard to teach the child to be called Daddy first.Xie Zhao also laughed when he heard it, and he didn't know how to slow down the joy in his heart. After laughing twice, he hugged her tightly, and then touched her thin lips again...

In the darkness of the room, a voice hesitated: "Your Majesty...?"

This sound is so close!

Both of them were taken aback, Xie Zhao took a breath and turned around, answering the voice: "Chen Jijiang?!"

What is he doing in the room? !

Chen Jijiang was also very embarrassed, and he took a step forward with a smile: "Your Majesty, Miss Ruan is pregnant, you...be patient."

Both Xie Zhao and Xueli were dumbfounded for a moment: Is he watching from the room? !

After a while, Xie Zhao frowned: "I know. You can go out."

Chen Jijiang's feet were grinding on the ground, and he had to hold back for a long time, and finally said: "If you can't move your mouth, don't move your mouth! In case, in case you can't hold back the next step..."

You eunuch know a lot!
Xie Zhao didn't even know what his expression was in the dark. His face froze for a long time, and he suddenly turned over and lay down on the bed, and blasted people out with a calm face: "Get out! Get out! Who allowed you to come in!"

Sydney laughed so hard under the quilt!

The laughter pierced Xie Zhao's ears, he couldn't hold back and kicked Chen Jijiang.Chen Jijiang scrambled and went out, the door was closed heavily in front of his eyes, he was wiping cold sweat and still sighed: Your Majesty is in a good mood...

He was ready to put his life on the line, and he was ready to let Mrs. Ruan intercede for him!
Xie Zhao turned around and looked at the person who was watching the joke on the bed with his hips on his arms.

It was too dark in the room to see people clearly, but through the light of the moonlight, it could be seen that her whole body was shaking from laughing!
This heartless pear!

Xie Zhao rolled up his sleeves and returned to the couch in a few steps, one hand crossed Xueli's collarbone, and pressed her shoulders, and the other hand went into the quilt to scratch her.

As soon as his hand touched her waist, he held back again.

No... I'm pregnant...

Xie Zhao gritted his teeth, felt the trembling of his arms and was still laughing, raised his hand to frighten her: "Laugh at me again! I'm tickling you!"

"Don't!!!" Xueli didn't dare to laugh when she heard that, thinking about the experience of being scratched by him a few times before, she hurriedly begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! I dare not!"

The people outside were shocked!
They just helped Chen Jijiang who was kicked out to sit down and rest, and in a blink of an eye, they heard Lady Ruan laughing and shouting for mercy?
Is this still a mess? !

The few people looked at each other dumbfounded, rushed to the door but didn't dare to go in hastily, they could only bravely persuade outside: "Your Majesty..."

Xie Zhaomeng covered Xueli's mouth, and the two of them listened together—how could the voice outside be so weak?

It's hard to tell which female officer came in. In short, they were all crying: "Your Majesty, you, you, you... Take it easy and don't be impatient!"

"..." The two looked at each other through the moonlight, and immediately understood what was the misunderstanding outside.Xue Li couldn't help but frowned, and let out a laugh from the mouth he held under his hand: "Pfft..."

"Chi..." Xie Zhao wanted to laugh out loud.After holding it in for a long time, I forced myself to go back, coughed lightly, and my voice became calm again, "I know what to do, stay away."
