The little lady in the dining room

Chapter 126 Pregnant
Xueli, who first heard that the emperor planned to make her a queen, was shocked. She poked in front of him for a long time with a complicated expression, and finally cried out at a loss.

She twisted her fingers and tugged at her sleeves in front of him uneasily, expecting him to say "I'm just kidding".

But he suppressed his smile and told him solemnly: "I'm not kidding you, I'm serious."

Sydney: "..."

She cried out in her heart: "How can I have that ability!"

The words "Mother Yi Tianxia" are so heavy.Xue Li sincerely felt that the one who could really afford these four words had to be like Mrs. Hui Fei.People can handle sacrifices, withstand palace banquets, and stand gracefully on the city tower to receive congratulations from envoys with the emperor.

In short, that's called "going to the hall"!
But myself... I can at most say "I can handle the kitchen".

The more she thought about it, the clearer and clearer she felt that she couldn't bear this burden, and the more she felt that she couldn't bear it, the more at a loss in front of him.

The emperor looked left and right: Is this really frightening?
Then he turned his head and ordered: "The Shangshi Bureau doesn't need to prepare meals, let the Imperial Dining Room prepare a stew pot."

Sydney: "..." Did I accidentally cultivate his new taste hobby?

After a while, the stew pot was brought into the room, a small case was set up on the couch, and a small stove was set up on the small case. The stew pot was heated on the stove, and after a while, it was opened, and the sauce was overflowing.

Xie Zhao was the first to pick up a spare rib, and Ah Yao's eyes lit up, so the nanny picked up a small piece of chicken leg meat for her, dipped some more sauce from the pot, and fed it to her with the rice.Both father and daughter ate very happily.

Xueli had no appetite at all, and looked at the emperor anxiously, just wanting to ask him what he was thinking.

Xie Zhao took a bite of the ribs calmly and looked up at her: "You don't have to be nervous about this, who said that the queen must be able to go to the hall?"

"Mother Yitianxia!" Xueli was sitting opposite him, her hands on her knees, "so many big and small things... I don't know anything at all! Me, me, me... I won't do it!"

... How dare she say outright "she won't do it"? !Did she think it was an official? !

The palace servants who were waiting beside her were all intimidated by her courage.

Seeing that she was not moving her chopsticks, Xie Zhao picked up another piece of beef and brought it to her mouth: "Open your mouth."

"..." Xueli ate listlessly, he smiled with satisfaction, went silent, and said again: "What do you think is the most important identity of a queen?"

what?
How do you say that?What is "what is the most important identity of a queen"? The word "Queen" is originally a "status"!

Xueli shook her head in confusion, and Xie Zhao wanted to hit her with chopsticks with such a pure and dumb expression that she hadn't seen in a while!
"The queen is my wife first!" Xie Zhao said every word, and then stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the sweet potato. The sweet potato is delicious when boiled in this salty sauce.

He said indifferently: "The most important thing is that I like it, and nothing else matters. Whether you can 'get into the hall' is secondary, and there is no rush to learn it slowly. If you don't want to learn, you just have to 'get into the kitchen' and I am too." I don't despise you."

Is that so...

If so... Sydney was suddenly aroused with a feeling of "doing my part"!
If the word "Queen" puts "talent" first, she immediately retreats far away with self-knowledge; but since "like" is put first, she is also very self-knowledge, knowing that he likes her, And she likes him too!
Thinking about it this way, it went smoothly at once, and I didn't feel that the burden was too heavy, and even my appetite was whetted.

"Add a plate of mutton." Xueli Yangyin said to the outside, "Cut it into thin slices like hot pot. Then add a plate of vermicelli and a plate of frozen tofu. The frozen tofu is also cut into the kind that is suitable for hot pot."

This time Xie Zhao was dazed, stopped chopsticks, and looked her up and down: "The appetite is good enough."

Are you planning to have a hot pot while eating stew pot?This is not even "eating what is in a bowl and looking at what is in a pot", it is "eating what is in a pot and looking at what is in another pot"!
Xue Li smiled and narrowed her eyes: "It's a new way of eating, it's good after trying it once, let Your Majesty try it."

So after a while, three more dishes came over, and the family of three continued to eat the stew pot without rushing to cook.

When the stewing pot was almost full of sweet potatoes, yams, taro potatoes, Sydney asked Almond to get the clear soup for hot pot. The clear soup was poured into the pot, and the sauce melted all of a sudden, and it became A pot of light brown soup.

"It's delicious to turn it into a hot pot directly, and the sauce is full of flavor. And it's more comfortable to eat two in one pot, and the last one has soup." Xueli explained while pouring the plate of frozen tofu into it first.This kind of frozen tofu is her favorite. After the small holes on the frozen tofu are filled with miso soup, the whole piece of tofu becomes very delicious. Once you bite into it, it tastes delicious in your mouth. She can eat two plates of this tofu alone!
Ayao also likes this the most. She clapped her little hands and waited since the frozen tofu was poured in. The thin slices of mutton were first cooked and served to her.

This meal was such a blast!
After walking overland for two days, I ate quite "miserably". After eating such a hot pot of food, my whole body seemed to relax.Xie Zhao even drank a bowl of that soup and couldn't stop saying "too salty", making Sydney dumbfounded.

Then he said that he also likes to eat this frozen tofu the most. As for the mutton slices and vermicelli, they are still delicious cooked in a serious hot pot.Sydney readily said that this is too simple, and in the future, it will be eaten in a stew pot, and after changing to a shabu-shabu, just prepare three plates of frozen tofu!Save meat!

Hey, Your Majesty, how do you feed yourself so well...

After eating, Xie Zhao naturally rested with her.He just came back to the palace, so it's not a big problem if the memorial is delayed for a night - he didn't rest all the way, so it's rare for him to be lazy for a while and feel at ease!

Then he ordered the palace servants to prepare water for bathing in the south room of the main house.The place is not big, so he had to toss and change the water after he finished washing, and then she went to wash. Sydney got into the tub and was soaked in hot water and was sleepy. He yawned and finished washing in a hurry, and went back to the bedroom in the north to have a look. Xie Zhao is leaning on the couch, holding A Yao and telling stories.

He was in his prime, and he was dressed in white underwear and lying loose on the couch, but he still maintained his charm.Ah Yao is a small one, with her head resting on his shoulder, and a pair of little feet are just approaching his waist.It stands to reason that the contrast between these two people is too strong, as if they are in two worlds, but take a closer look... It seems that the warmth is infinite when you look at it horizontally and vertically.

Xue Li just rubbed her hair and looked dumbfounded, Dou Sha didn't dare to say anything, and she didn't respond to touching her arm beside her.

It wasn't until A Yao yawned heavily and fell asleep, when he covered A Yao with the quilt and reached out to put the story book on the small table beside the couch, that he saw her in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Xie Zhao looked around, not knowing why she was in a daze.

Xueli laughed suddenly, wiped her hair impromptuly, handed the handkerchief to Dousha, ran over and climbed onto the couch with small steps, and smiled in front of him: "Your Majesty is a good father!"

Why are you praising him all of a sudden...

Xie Zhao turned his face away and coughed lightly.Keeping A Yao to the innermost side as before, he said solemnly in the middle: "Sleeping."

Roujia Palace, Qingxin Palace.

At this hour, the Qingxin Palace is always brightly lit, no matter how cold or hot it is.

The concubines came on time, bowed to Concubine Hui and stepped aside.The high-ranking ones had a seat, and the low-ranking ones stood and accompanied them. Everyone chatted for a while, and then went back to the palace to rest.

Today, there is a long-lost silence in the atmosphere.

The reason is clear to everyone.Yu Jia came back, but most people only saw that shadow when they greeted him and kowtowed.Mrs. Concubine Hui has a lot of face, and she was able to sit in the Zichen Hall for a while and talk to His Majesty, so that no one else has the honor to face the Holy Concubine.

Then, where the Majesty went for dinner, everyone gradually found out.

Xia Cairen, who was more irritable, yawned: "That Liugeyuan is blessed. It's nothing if the Di Ji who was picked up from outside fell into her hands, but after going out for such a trip, she came back with a big belly. How many years have not passed, let me see..."

She yawned again: "It doesn't matter if this child is the prince or the emperor's concubine, if he falls to the ground, His Majesty will pamper him to the sky."

There is a lot of jealousy in this statement, but no one present can refute it.

This is obvious, not to mention that this child, who is not related to His Majesty at all, is Ping'an Emperor Ji, who has been favored to the heavens a lot?She even took her with her on the southern tour, and the two-year-old little girl sat on His Majesty's lap every day.

In this way, the child born to His Majesty in Liugeyuan will only be more favored.

Concubine Hui read the scripture book in her hand contentedly, pretending she didn't hear these words.

Yes, His Majesty treats children well, and Liu Gong is even more jealous of those who have children.But what's the use of hot eyes?All the servants here are older than the servant in Liugeyuan, but there is no fate, isn't it?

How long has the Liugeyuan been with His Majesty...

I went to bed for the first time on the third day of March, and now at the beginning of September, the child is five months pregnant.This is what I have been following for about a month, this blessing, tsk...

Concubine Hui shook her head with a smile in her mouth, it seemed that she was only laughing for the sake of the story.

Seeing that she was absent-minded, all the concubines couldn't sit still anymore.Concubine Li gritted her teeth, left her seat and said blessedly: "With so many of us here, Sister Hui Concubine should persuade Your Majesty... It's fine on weekdays, but now that one is pregnant and still haunts Your Majesty." Don't come over, this, this is not appropriate, right?"

Concubine Hui raised her eyelids slightly, and looked at Concubine Li: "Even you say this... so what can I do?"

Li Fei's cheeks turned red all of a sudden.

Concubine Hui is embarrassing her.From the time she fell out of favor to being driven to the palace, she always regarded herself as a favorite concubine, and after returning from the palace, she was still full of spirits, making troubles back and forth.

But now she couldn't sit still.He even lost his lofty thoughts, and said bluntly that he wanted to get a piece of the pie from Ruan Shi.

Concubine Li gritted her teeth, ignored Concubine Hui's sarcasm, and lowered her eyes quietly waiting for Concubine Hui's answer.

She is also really helpless.After returning from the palace, everything was not as expected, the most obvious one was that he was always being perfunctory when it came to meals, but knowing that the person came from the imperial dining room, it was inevitable that he felt even more awkward.

Concubine Li has been favored too much, she knows that even if His Majesty is willing to come over, things will be different - but His Majesty won't come even once!
"Alas..." Concubine Hui sighed with a faint smile, casually picked up a silver hairpin and put it between the pages of the book, closing the book.

She looked at everyone: "It's useless for you to beg me for this matter. If I persuade it, it will work, then I will let your Majesty come to Roujia Palace to have a look at it - but you see, how is it now?"

After Concubine Hui finished speaking, the faces of many concubines were so gloomy that they could not find any luster.Everyone reluctantly exchanged a few pleasantries to smooth things over, and then bowed and left.

The hall became quiet, and Concubine Hui breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to the page with the hairpin between them to continue reading.

Lan Xin couldn't stand it any longer. She waved her hand away from others, stepped forward, and persuaded softly: "Madam... Actually, if you really persuaded His Majesty, His Majesty will come and have a look."

Concubine Hui's eyes were stern, and when she looked up, Lan Xin just stood with her head bowed.

Lan Xin didn't understand and couldn't accept it, she felt that while she gave in to Liugeyuan, she even perfunctory Liugong and said she had persuaded her.

Concubine Hui smiled lightly: "You are right, but I can't get rid of this face."

She couldn't open her mouth to say that she hoped that His Majesty would come to Roujia Palace to rest for a while, she couldn't open her mouth at all.If you think of similar words as fighting for favor, she can't do it; if you want to make love words...she can't say it even more.

"I don't like Your Majesty." Concubine Hui murmured in a daze, only to realize what she had just said.

Looking up at Lan Xin who was pale with shock, she smiled again: "You didn't hear, I didn't say that."

Concubine Hui thought, in fact, even if this word reached His Majesty's ears, he might not care.

He didn't like her anyway.

The weather is getting colder, and the leaves of several fruit trees in the yard are turning yellow, and they will float down when the wind blows.A Yao looked very cute when she was running around in the falling leaves in a pink and tender chest-length skirt.

Xue Li enthusiastically wanted to sew a thin cloak for her, firstly to look good, and secondly to prevent her from catching cold after playing for a long time.

But the cloth hadn't been cut yet, so the emperor personally stopped the job that night.

Xie Zhao told her with a cold face that being pregnant was too much work, and then he didn't give her a chance to say anything, so he turned his face and handed it over to Dousha.

Sydney pouted: Well...

She hugged Yuxiang with a sad expression.This big lion seems to be a little strange to her after not seeing it for a few months - at least he doesn't want to be tossed about in her arms!

Xue Li was very concerned about this, so when Xie Zhao used her pregnancy as an excuse to temporarily take Yu Xiang away, she rubbed him with tears for a long time, just to keep Yu Xiang behind.

"I stay with it for an hour every day..." Xueli held Xie Zhao's arm and pointed a finger. Seeing his frown, she changed her words, "Half an hour! Or a moment..."

The biggest concession she could think of was not to play with Yuxiang at all, but to watch it from afar and let Yang Mingquan take care of it.

But the emperor finally agreed to let Yuxiang stay with her for a moment every day when she enters the house, and Xueli immediately felt that she had earned it!

But seeing her hugging Yuxiang and not letting go to express dissatisfaction with him, Xie Zhaoke felt at a loss.Sit on the side of the couch, hug half of Yuxiang as if grabbing something from her, and then continue the topic just now: "Why are you getting more and more diligent when you are pregnant? You used to cook, but now you want to try needlework tried?"

"I want to be a good mother!" Xue Li pressed her chin against Yu Xiang's head, and pinched her fingers on Yu Xiang's ears, "I haven't made clothes for A Yao before. This is the first time , Your Majesty can't fulfill me?"

Xie Zhao's expression turned pale: "We'll talk about it after you finish your confinement."

Can you be a good girl? Why don't you look at this?He sent so many people over to her just to make her feel relieved, this dumb li deliberately competed with him!

Sydney pursed her mouth and said to herself, "I don't care about you".

The two were very devoted to each other and sulked at each other, and they both held Yuxiang and did not let go.Poor Yuxiang's lion fur has been messed up, even the hair on the tail has been rubbed in different directions.

Then came its little savior.

Ah Yao came in with a small square plate, and inside the plate was a plate of candied dates, she held it up in front of Xue Li: "Mother."

Xueli happily took one and ate it, and still didn't forget to say to her, "Thank you, Ayao."

Ah Yao raised the plate in front of Xie Zhao again: "Royal Father."

Xie Zhao also said thank you while taking it, and said to Sydney while eating: "Look, you are so good at teaching, there are good things you know how to be modest, you are a good mother, you are not bad for that cloak."

As soon as the words finished, Ah Yao pointed at Yuxiang: "I want to play with Yuxiang..."

Xie Zhao: "..." Is it actually for an exchange?I just finished praising you!
Anyway, Ah Yao got his wish and left with Yu Xiang. The two of them sat for a while without a lion to hug. Xie Zhao approached first and reached out to touch Xue Li's belly.

As he touched like this, Sydney also looked down.Recently, my stomach has grown significantly, as if I had a watermelon in it...

Being touched by him like this feels more like a watermelon.

She blushed as soon as she thought about this unscrupulous direction. Seeing him leaning over to listen, she almost wanted to remind him to listen while filming...

Fortunately, I held back.There is a child inside, so it cannot be photographed.

Xueli walked quite comfortably, and when she regained her concentration, she suddenly felt that his hands had penetrated into her shirt and touched her waist, and her whole body froze immediately.

What is this... what is this for?

Xue Li's face was red and her ears were red. When she raised her eyes and saw that the palace people had retreated, her mind became clearer.Then she just sat and waited, not knowing what to do.

——Mainly doing this kind of thing with a big belly, I’ve never tried it before!
After a while, he breathed heavily, and sat upright without raising his eyes.

Huh?
Xue Li blinked, leaned over and put his shoulder on his shoulder, with a sincere expression: "It's actually fine. The imperial doctor said that my pregnancy is stable, and the doctor's daughter also specially euphemistically mentioned that it can be appropriate..."

"Forget it." Xie Zhao restrained the enthusiasm in his heart, cleared his throat, "What if there is an accident?" He looked at her stomach, not daring to risk the child no matter what.

Coughed again, stood up and walked out, "I'll go to the south room to read a book before coming back, you rest first."

He... can't help it?

Xue Li stared blankly at him as he headed towards the south room.It's been more than three months since I knew she was pregnant.He neither went to the harem nor touched her, no wonder he endured it so hard...

But the imperial doctor really said it was all right.

She frowned and stroked her belly, feeling a little conflicted in her heart.In fact, she also kind of wanted to... Cough, but like he said, what if there is an accident?
Uuuuuuuuuuuu Pregnancy is so difficult...

Xue Li fell down on the couch with tears in her eyes, hugging the quilt, feeling anxious in her heart - it was all his fault!I stroked her back just now!It made her think so... Then he turned and left!

She hugged the quilt and turned over, facing the wall, trying to sleep without distraction.

It felt as if I fell asleep for a while, and seemed to have a dream or two.

Dazedly felt that there was a kiss on the forehead, and then it slid all the way down the cheek, and then all the way down...

"Your Majesty?!" She woke up suddenly, swept the curtains that had been put down, pushed him in a panic, and said indiscriminately, "Didn't Your Majesty go to study?!"

"Yes. I read it in the middle of the night." Xie Zhao said with a firm tone, touched her Chinese medicine belt with his hand, and said four words to her calmly, "I read the medical book."
