The little lady in the dining room

Chapter 122
Sydney is cooking porridge in the kitchen, and the light rice fragrance lingers in the heat, making her feel happy physically and mentally.

Cui Wan was a little nervous when she first came here.It's nothing else, knowing that the few things she does are simple, it's okay to say that she is tired, but the kitchen is hotter after all, and I'm afraid that something bad will happen to her pregnant fever.

Sydney took the initiative to open all the windows to ventilate. Up to now, the porridge pot and steamer are all used, which means that there is a little sweat.

It is true that she has been thinking a lot recently, but she is also easy to be happy.A little bit of good things can make me happy, and I feel that life is very beautiful.

For example, now that she sees the rice and mung beans in the porridge pot being boiled, she can smile, and she doesn't know what she is laughing at, but she is in a good mood anyway.

Calculating the time, it was still early before the banquet was over, so she pulled a chair and sat down.The porridge continued to cook on a low heat, and the steamed cakes and noodle cakes also continued to steam on a low heat. He thought that he could eat it while it was hot, after the feast was over before serving it out!

Xueli smirked with her hair on her forehead, took a short break, and only looked over when she saw someone coming in. A few eunuchs bowed at the door: "Miss Ruan..."

"What's the matter?" Xueli said lazily, those people were quiet for a moment, and the leader said: "I ordered you to change your residence for the lady. He said that His Majesty is coming...he will be busy recently, and there are people visiting every day or something, to the lady It may be inconvenient for you."

Oh……

Thinking about it, Xueli understood, but at the same time felt a little bit lost.

In fact, she also knew that she shouldn't have arranged her and His Majesty in the same yard directly, because he took care of her after such an arrangement.

But after all, I have been living on a boat these days!At night he would always hold her in his arms and talk, and sometimes Ayao would play tricks and act like a baby to come over and sleep with them.Of course she thinks this kind of life is very good, it is more like a family, intimate and full of warmth.

But since he has business to do... let her move to another place, and she will go.

Xueli had some upside-down emotions in her heart, and finally stood up and went to find Cui Wan, and asked Cui Wan to help her watch the pot, and send him the food after the banquet was over, and then went to the new residence with a few people.

It was originally delivered by her, but since he made this arrangement, he might be busy tonight.What's more, she is still pregnant, and she is tired of changing the yard, so she should clean up and have a good rest!
When I arrived at the new residence, I saw that Ayao was already there, and said to her with a small mouth, "I can't see my father anymore", Xueli hugged her and smiled: "Be good, Ayao, sleep well, and mother will bring you when you wake up tomorrow." You go to find your father!"

Afterwards, everything was tidied up, and in order to make A Yao happy, she led A Yao around the front and back yards. Walking around, she suddenly felt inexplicably desolate.

I don't know where it feels.Maybe it's because the two of them have been together these days, and they suddenly learned that they will live separately tonight... It's a bit uncomfortable!
She felt that the surroundings were empty, and it was natural that the furnishings were not as particular as the other side—it was thanks to her, the emperor directly ordered the two to live together earlier, so this place was probably cleaned up now.

After walking around, Xue Li felt that she lost interest, so she sat on the porch with A Yao in her arms and watched the moon for a while.At the beginning of the month, the moon was just such a small arc, and she took Ah Yao to read "Quiet Night Thoughts" twice to barely cope with the scene, and then saw that Ah Yao yawned, so she led her back to the room to sleep.

After all, Ah Yao is a child, after being sleepy, he washes up to the extreme, and falls asleep on the couch.

Sydney is still alive.

She leaned over the table and began to think about it.I wondered if he had to hide behind to induce vomiting many times today, wondered if this place has a lot of good wine and spirits, and then I was particularly worried that he would have a headache when he woke up tomorrow morning, and he would feel dizzy when he slept tonight... Both of these are uncomfortable for her, especially the second one, which is that she can't sleep well and even has no appetite to eat.

Hey...and after drinking too much, eating will feel bitter.

Sydney sighed wildly.When he raised his eyes, he saw Su Zixian and Zhima who were out for a stroll entering the courtyard, and thought to himself, and said secretly: Just right!
She went to Su Zixian and told her all the worries she had just now, and said that she wanted to trouble her to go to His Majesty's side to take a look, and at least persuaded His Majesty to eat some porridge before going to bed.

Both Su Zixian and Zhima froze for a moment.After a while, Su Zixian let out a sigh of relief, smiled and said to her: "I think... don't worry about it. There are so many people in front of the imperial court, Master Chen and Master Xu have come out again this time, so you don't need to worry about it. "

"I know too." Xue Li sighed, "But I just don't feel at ease, the more I think about it, the more I feel uneasy, or...or you can help me ask later, I can hear the previous reply and I'll be fine. Yes. If he really drank and vomited and went to sleep hungry, that would be too uncomfortable."

Su Zixian, who has always been close to her, remained silent and did not respond to her request. After a long time, Su Zixian said again: "It's absolutely fine, you can rest at ease. Your Majesty, the Ninth Five-Year Lord, you are never the only one who cares about him." .”

Sydney was taken aback for a moment, more or less hearing something was wrong.

Su Zixian refused to say a word, gritted her teeth, turned around and went back to the room, slammed the door of the room, and only told Xueli that she was tired and wanted to sleep.

Xueli was stunned outside the door, and finally, she looked at Zhima.

"...Lady." Zhima gasped with guilt, and stammered, "I, I am also tired from shopping, and I want to go to bed first. Here are some snacks, which are famous in the city. Sister Zixian gave it to the lady." brought..."

"Sesame." Xueli's expression turned cold, she took a step forward, her eyes flicked back and forth, "What's going on? What do you know? Tell me."

"Miss..." Zhima fell back and wanted to kneel down for her, but Pianxue pulled her and said calmly, "Tell me, I'm pregnant, don't make me worry."

How dare Zhima make her anxious!Knowing that she was pregnant, she didn't even dare to vent her breath after being dragged by her like this!
So Zhima carefully and stumbled to tell her about the beautiful women sent by the gentry.From the first time I heard the rumors on the streets in the city, to when I came back, I happened to see the beauties lined up to the main hall...

Zhima wiped her tears and comforted her: "Miss, don't be sad. I took a closer look. Although those official ladies are beautiful, they should still be far behind the concubines in the harem... Even if your majesty summons someone, that's fine." It's just a whim, and it can't be compared with your weight, my lady. Besides, you are pregnant and can't serve the king, this matter, also..."

Before Zhima said "this is normal", Xueli turned and walked into the room.

After returning to the room, she didn't want to talk, she waved her hand to make Dousha Xingren retreat, and then lay on the couch in a daze.

This is normal, but she is inevitably a little awkward.

There are others who can serve him...

Frowning, Xue Li turned over and hugged A Yao, feeling a sudden helplessness in her heart.

Then she was thinking, what if there is really such a good person among these people?They are particularly beautiful or talented, or they just fit his fancy, and their family background is better than hers, and it is the time when she is pregnant and cannot serve the king.

Xue Li bit her lip and wiped the wetness from the corners of her eyes, and couldn't help worrying that "Jun" would have nothing to do with her when she could serve Jun.

...No, no, no!Stop blindly "thinking"!

Xue Li hugged Ah Yao's arm tightly, scolding herself for being too preoccupied recently.He wouldn't just forget her like that, she has A Yao here, and another child in her belly, how can she be forgotten so easily!
It's hard to forget three people at once!

But, but these days, he won't come to see her...

Zhima said, there are more than [-] people.Even if a part is given to the feudal lord, there are still four or five who stay with him. They are all beautiful girls, who are about the same age as her, but she lost her figure when she was pregnant, and her face became fat ugly...

Xue Li became sleepy after thinking about it, and she was sleepy, but tears still came out.While she knew it was "normal", she also felt it was unfair - after all, she was the one who worked so hard to get pregnant!At this time, he pampered other girls...

She would rather he go normally.

In the end, she just fell asleep thinking so wildly, and couldn't help but hug A Yao tightly all night, and she hasn't felt so unsafe for a long time.

It was rare for the emperor not to vomit after such a banquet.

This is also thanks to the vassal kings for their knowledge.It doesn't matter if you pour him all the time at a banquet, but today he said "Mr. Ruan is pregnant", and everyone knew it.

Everyone consciously reduced the toast to two glasses, and he could drink a lot less after the whole banquet.

So after returning to the room, his head was heavy and his stomach was not uncomfortable.Planted on the couch and fell asleep in a daze, and woke up before dawn.

Frowning, Xie Zhao reached out and touched the side: empty?

He just opened his eyes, sat up and thought for a while, wondering if Chen Jijiang was troubled again, fearing that after drinking, he couldn't restrain himself and hurt Xueli, so he settled him elsewhere.

Then he called someone, and the emperor yawned slightly: "Where's Sydney?"

The little eunuch who came in to answer the question lowered his head: "It's been moved to Chiyuewu."

The emperor said "Oh" and got off the couch, ordered someone to change his clothes, and then put on a comfortable uniform and drank half a cup of tea to calm his mind. When he went out, he let Chen Jijiang lead the way to Chiyuewu.

Chen Jijiang was so nervous that his scalp went numb.

He had heard about it over there.Dou Sha talked back and forth, saying that Mrs. Ruan had heard about the squire's offering of beauties, she was not in a good mood, but she didn't say anything, she went to bed early and didn't eat.

It's good now, His Majesty didn't drive away those who sat around and waited for drinks and meals during the banquet, but after the banquet, he only casually bestowed a few vassal princes, and he didn't even mention inviting people to sleep with him--and so on, what will Chen Jijiang do now? How can I not panic?Doesn't this mean that they have wronged Lady Ruan for no reason?Your Majesty must flay him alive?

Thinking of this, Chen Jijiang didn't dare to look up all the way.When he arrived at Chiyuewu and entered the yard, he shrank back as soon as he bowed his body, squinting at His Majesty going in, and immediately wanted to pull his favorite student Xu Shishui to beat him up!
It's all Xu Shishui's fault, what is it called!At first glance, every ring looks the same, but in fact, every ring is not in place!
In the main room, Dousha Xingren, who had been dozing outside the bedroom, heard the arrival of the Holy Spirit and didn't even have time to get up, so he changed from sitting to kneeling on the spot and made a big salute. Then the emperor entered the room, and they hurried in to light the lamps, and then He stepped aside and didn't dare to breathe out.

Xie Zhao walked to the couch and stared intently.

He just wanted to come and see.When he had a banquet, Sydney would always stay up and wait for him. He was afraid that she would also stay up today or wouldn't sleep well, so he wanted to come over and let him know that he was fine.

Who would have thought that after looking at her like this, even though she was lying on her side with her back facing him, she could still vaguely see the traces of wet tears on her face.The person was asleep, but his brows were slightly frowned, as if something very unhappy was happening before going to bed.

Xie Zhao hesitated for a moment if it was not good to disturb her sound sleep, but in the end he decided that it would be better to ask first—what if it was a big event and it was delayed until tomorrow morning?

So the emperor sat down by the couch, patted her on the shoulder, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Xueli? Xueli, wake up first."

Xue Li was sleeping in a state of confusion, dreaming that she was seven or eight months pregnant, and seeing him with her pregnant Jiangnan beauty passing in front of her, she ignored her, making her so sad to death!
The grievance in the dream was very real.That sadness was making her want to cry, and the feeling on her shoulder woke her up.

Xue Li opened her eyes, the face in front of her eyes changed from blurred to clear, and she couldn't help but flinch.

"What's the matter?" Xie Zhao hugged her, trying to turn her over to face him, but she actually resisted a little, her body froze, and after a while, she pushed him back: "It's so late... Your Majesty still not resting?"

Xie Zhao frowned, and cast his eyes on the tears on her face again, this time he asked directly: "Why are you crying?" Then he wanted to pull her off A Yao, "Still hugging A Yao? Are you still holding her?" Are you not afraid that she will kick you?"

Ah Yao has strength in his hands and feet now, and he insisted on sleeping on their bed last night. In the middle of the night, a small fist smeared his face, and he felt tight circles under his eyes for a while.

Then he hurriedly moved A Yao to the innermost part of the bed, and put himself between the two of them, lest she sleep in the middle and punch Xue Li in a while!
Just like that, Xue Li was forced by him to let go of A Yao, leaning against his arms reluctantly, after looking at him for a while, the tears still came down, she hurriedly wiped her tears and told him "it's all right" , and then forced a smiley face: "I am thinking a lot during pregnancy! Your Majesty, go and rest!"

What else could she say?Does it mean that she doesn't want him to invite others, or that she is jealous of those official ladies?

Xie Zhao stared at her for a while, and the more he looked at her, the more he felt something was wrong.His eyes darkened, and he drank Chen Jijiang in sharply.

Chen Jijiang didn't intend to carry the anger by himself!He came in with Xu Shishui, and the two of them knelt down together: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

The emperor looked at them coldly, thought for a while, and said the truth: "You must know what happened next. What happened to her sudden change of residence? What happened to crying like this?"

This time Sydney really panicked!If they told the truth, wouldn't that mean they told all about her jealousy? !
Except for that time with An Jin, she hasn't shown this kind of jealousy in front of him yet!
In such a hurry, she felt that it would be better to "strike first". She yanked the emperor and explained, "Your Majesty, calm down. I, I don't mean to be jealous, but I am afraid that after meeting those officials' ladies, His Majesty will completely disown the emperor." I forgot! So I cried a little..."

She bit the word "thoroughly" very hard, as if she wouldn't be sad at all if she wasn't worried about it.

Xie Zhao looked back at her for a while, then laughed with a "chi" and said in a helpless tone, "Where are you eating nameless vinegar!"

If you want to eat this kind of vinegar, you can't finish it.Aristocratic families would not use this method to send their own daughters to him, it would appear embarrassing.But the aristocratic families have a lot of diners, big and small, and it is not shameful to send off these Hakka ladies, and it is also a good thing for the diners.

He has been going through this kind of thing since he was a prince, and Concubine Hui Shu has personally received these officials and ladies.at the moment……

Xue Li was still writhing in his arms, muttering nonsense that she wasn't jealous!Not jealous!Not unhappy!
—— Xie Zhaoxin said, if you don't know how to pretend to be magnanimous, don't pretend, it doesn't look like such a strong top at all, okay?

He kept a straight face, played with her with both hands, and put her in a posture that looked obedient in his arms, and then he lay down comfortably, hugged her tighter, and began to coax her: "Be jealous of them!" , are you promising? You have been in the palace for seven or eight years, and you are still not better than them? How can they be better than you?"

This statement sounds purely deceitful, but it is actually true.

These official ladies from the Hakka family generally have some talents and good looks, and their manners are not bad.Each of them is the favorite of the family, and their spirits are also not low.This caused them to be sent by their families to curry favor with the dignitaries, and they always felt that they couldn't save face. They wanted to serve Zhou Quan to earn a future for themselves, but they were extra coy, which made him even more awkward than them.

These days, he guards Sydney and watches her feasting every day. He has not eaten for a few days and has been so awkward.The one sitting next to him just now was indeed the best in the group in terms of looks, but his body was so stiff that he couldn't even hold chopsticks.

It made Xie Zhao dare not look her straight.However, there was no need to scold her and coax her, so he had no choice but to pretend that she didn't exist and finish the meal on his own.

When I came back, I saw this stupid pear eating vinegar and crying!

Xue Li lay in her arms, her face was hot when she was asked back.After a while, she burrowed into his arms, stuttering: "A-actually...it's nothing, I'm pregnant after all, if you..."

He let go of her suddenly, making her go dumb.But he sat up and took off his shoes, got on the couch from the place beside her feet, moved the sleeping Ah Yao inside, faced her directly, supported her with his hands, and smiled: "What if I do? What do you say?" .”

He was originally handsome, with such a gentle smile now...

Xueli was dumbfounded at once, choking on all the well-prepared Dadu words, turned over and rubbed against him, stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly: "It's nothing! I forgot what I was going to say! It must not be an important matter!"

She didn't want to push him on someone else's bed!He is so good and so good looking!She can't say anything against her will!

What is "nothing"?But there is "what"!The relationship is great!

With stubbornness in her heart and a shy face, Xueli pushed herself into his arms very hard.

The emperor's eyes drooped slightly, he looked at the loach in front of him with a smile and didn't make a sound, and let her drill hard awkwardly.

——He is not stupid, he knew what she wanted to say halfway through her sentence.

It would be strange to let her speak out!

After she calmed down, he also lay down, bowed his head and kissed him, and tsk-tsk his mouth: "You vinegar pear! Can I not spoil you in the future? Otherwise, you will always think wildly... Or should I force myself to go to the harem more? Hey, this is so difficult. ..."

"Don't don't!" She raised her head suddenly, looked at him with a pair of bright eyes, and solemnly advised each word, "Your Majesty, please don't force it! This kind of thing has to be voluntary!"
