The little lady in the dining room

Chapter 127
When the emperor woke up at the second quarter of Yinshi, Xueli also got up together.

The two sat at the table and had breakfast together, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

——Having sex with a big belly is indeed more or less subtle.

Before Xie Li had a slender waist, Xie Zhao could hold her tightly with one arm.Now... Cough cough, let alone the ring can't be broken, he doesn't dare to use force at all, for fear of crushing her.

Xueli felt him hugging her from behind the whole time, and saw that his hand around her front was always empty, not touching her big belly at all... In her heart, she felt sad that this matter was too self-destructive!
Xie Zhao also felt a little weird, but it wasn't bad.

He was very careful from the beginning to the end, unlike before when he would bully her and cry on a whim, this time he remained sober - the medical book said it was okay, but it also said that it should not be too violent, he dared not cross this boundary.

Then he had a wonderful feeling that while pampering her, he was taking good care of the big and the small at the same time.

Afterwards, she lay in his arms and stared at him for a long time, and couldn't help asking softly: "Why is Your Majesty making things difficult for yourself? There are so many people in the harem..."

He looked down and saw that there was a bit of pity in her expression, and he knew that what she said was not pretending to be generous, but to make things difficult for him.

"I'm willing, don't worry about it." He gave her such an answer in an unreasonable manner. The tenderness in the dull pear's eyes immediately turned into a stare. After the stare, he closed his eyes and fell asleep, and soon fell into a deep sleep Fragrant.

Just love seeing her like this.

He is free and casual, and he is very casual in anger and cursing.

Xie Zhao also lay flat with a smile in his mouth.I closed my eyes and thought about why I would rather share the bed with her so "tired" than go to the harem—in fact, there seemed to be no particularly earth-shattering excuses.

Being with her is relaxing enough.Unlike going to the harem, no matter what status a person is, seeing him must first be a well-behaved gift, and then they have a meal or a conversation, they always have a dignified and beautiful smiling face—he sees Tired, but he couldn't stop it.

The so-called "love in bed" is even more tiring.

It's not a big deal for the people in the dormitory to stand outside the two gauze curtains, but the people on the couch also have a set of rules, and they think twice about every move, making him feel that everyone is the same, wherever they go.

Therefore, even though he was "opened" at the age of 14, Xie Zhao once felt that the words "joy in bed" and "joy in London" were all used as irony.It wasn't until Xue Li followed him that he realized that this kind of thing really had its beauty.

She was probably the only one who could make him feel sincere love—although she would make her cry once in a while, but that, that was different!
After the emperor went to the Xuanzheng Hall, Sydney went to see A Yao first.Ayao was still asleep, she looked obedient from a distance, but when she got closer... Ayao, you girl, drooling while sleeping!
With a smirk in her heart, Xue Li took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her, not daring to use force with her hands, for fear of waking her up.After wiping, she tucked the quilt again, A Yao rolled in and went back to sleep.

"Miss." Bai Nanny called softly behind her, Xue Li turned her head to look, and quickly signaled Bai Nanny to go out.

It's not Mao Shi, it's too early to wake up A Yao.

In fact, Nanny Bai knew it well, she just called her when she came in, and the two of them went out of the room together. Nanny Bai bowed and said, "Nurse Mrs. Zheng came to answer me early in the morning, and said that the sour plum dye that was sent to Diji's side a while ago He got a cold and was seriously ill."

This is one of the two slave maids who came back to accompany Ah Yao after returning from the southern tour.Both of their names were changed by the Qi family, one is called Suanmei and the other is called Wumei.

Xueli thought for a while, and frowned slightly: "I saw she was fine yesterday, why is she so sick?"

"You're too young, sometimes you get seriously ill when you get sick." Nanny Bai sighed, "According to the rules, this person has to be removed as soon as possible, so as not to expose Diji to him. I've already asked Wu Mei to clean it up. Nod your head, lady, and you can send it out."

Of course it is not acceptable to pass it on to Ayao, Ayao is younger than her.Xue Li nodded, and Bai Momo immediately went to Qingxi to listen to the message in the room where Han and the two young maids lived.Xue Li then went into the room to accompany A Yao, but after a while, the movement outside made her frown involuntarily.

This movement is too loud, what about dragging the box?Ayao is still asleep.

She went out to check unhappily, and when she got to the door, she saw Wu Mei walking out with the help of Suan Mei. Suan Mei obviously couldn't use much strength, and almost her whole body was leaning on Wu Mei, two small figures stumbled...

That sound wasn't dragging a box, it was from rubbing under his feet.

"Wait." Xue Li snorted softly, the two of them trembled as they stopped, turned around, wanted to kneel but couldn't.

Xue Li hurried forward a few steps, brushing away the sour plum's hair with her hand, her forehead was terribly hot.

This is too sick too.

She let out a sigh of relief, and looked at Nanny Bai: "Nurse Lao, go and call Zixian for me...Let Suanmei live with her for a few days, at least to take care of her body, so I can't go out like this."

"My lady..." Bai Momo wanted to persuade her when she heard this, but she saw that she had made up her mind, so she had to call Su Zixian.

Well, it's a good thing.This girl is in slavery, and she is only five years old, so she will die if she is so ill and sent elsewhere.Put it in the kitchen to raise it, so that she is not allowed to come and touch Di Ji.

After a while, the person Su Zixian came to pick up in person, and the person who carried the sour plum to the back, made Xueli feel relieved.

But less than two minutes later, Zixian came back again, and after entering the house, she asked everyone else to go out, closed the door and looked at Xueli, her face turned pale: "Xueli, let me tell you..."

"What's wrong?" Xueli was nervous by her expression.

"That sour plum..." Su Zixian couldn't even breathe a little, and told her after forcing herself to calm down, "The sour plum's wounds are all new. The blood on her back hasn't even scarred, and her knee It's so swollen!"

"Huh?!" Sydney was startled.

"Also." Su Zixian's eyes were red for a while, and she sat down beside her, "I, I just made her a bowl of noodles in clear soup, the kind with some salt and green onion and an egg... She Seeing that she had no appetite at all, she forced herself to eat all of it. After a short while, she vomited. I coaxed her to say that it was okay and let her rest. I will cook for her when I have an appetite. But she, she insisted on getting up and helping me with the work, forcing her to lie down to finish the work... she cried when she lay down."

Su Zixian felt too uncomfortable watching it, so she had to come and tell Sydney.She has never seen the fear in Sour Plum's eyes before, there must be something wrong here!

"I know it's definitely not you who punished me, but you have to ask what's going on." Su Zixian gritted her teeth, "This is the person next to Diji!"

Xueli breathed in the air-conditioning, slowly thinking, and called Nanny Bai.

She said: "Don't say anything, just ask Qingxi Tinghan and the nurses, who punished the sour plums, and then bring these six to me."

A moment later, Nanny Bai came with someone after asking about the matter.It was the nanny Chen who did it, she said that she didn't know the details last night, anyway, it was the sour plum that made Di Ji cry, so she beat the sour plum, and then punished the sour plum to kneel until midnight.

"Miss, you don't know, just punishing her like this, this girl still refuses to admit her mistake." Chen's face was disgusted, "I saw Di Ji standing there crying, and she was the only one beside her. Di Ji still cried at her, I didn't see her coaxing her, she panicked when she saw me, what else do you think?"

Sydney did not make a comment, but looked at Qingxi Tinghan: "Is that so?"

Qing Xi replied that she didn't know when she went to serve Di Ji hot porridge. Ting Han hesitated a little, and said cruelly: "No. What I saw was... Di Ji took a plate of candied dates and distributed them around. There was not enough time for black plums and sour plums. Diji looked at the plate and cried herself, and the nanny came out and beat the sour plums. I explained next to her, but the nanny didn’t listen, and Diji cried to stop her, but the nanny didn’t care. That’s why I’ve been punishing sour plums for illness.”

"You..." Chen's face paled.

Xueli smiled lightly: "Sister Chen, what's the matter in your heart that's not happy, are you using sour plums as an excuse to vent your anger?"

Mrs. Chen didn't say a word, Xueli suppressed the anger in her heart, but Su Zixian didn't suppress it directly: "The attack is cruel enough! That girl is only five years old!"

Chen turned her head away in displeasure, and argued, "A slave girl is like this everywhere."

"Okay, I won't argue with you about this." Xue Li looked at her lightly, and then glanced at the other five people, "I didn't need to ask about this matter, but if I want to save the plum, I can also find a medical girl to save me." She, arrange someone to take care of her. I called all six of you because I care more about another thing. "

The six of them were startled for a while, and Xue Li smiled lightly: "You are all Di Ji's people. I don't care how you rank among you, but as long as Di Ji is around, Di Ji should be the one who decides."

She glanced at Mrs. Chen: "Sister Chen, I just want to ask you one question. Diji is crying to stop you. Why don't you stop? Or, even if Diji didn't stop you, the person sent to accompany her will have her turn." Are you going to punish yourself?"

Only then did Chen's eyes show a hint of panic, he froze, and knelt down: "I'm confused, I..."

"I don't care if you are confused or not. I just want to remind you this time, all of you are Diji's people. Don't think that you are a nanny who has the grace to raise her, so you can turn her down, and me This bitch is watching here."

It was rare for Xue Li to see such a cold expression on her face, and the six of them were silent when she spoke. She paused and said, "Of course, Di Ji is still too young, if she really lets her decide, there will be too many mistakes. Then... If you think she is wrong, you should give me back and forth, instead of taking her own ideas and continuing to do what you want. If you don’t take her seriously, then I would rather not have you by her side.”

Her last few words were ruthless, and Chen's face turned completely pale in shock: "Lady! Never again, never again... Diji's words naturally mean what she said, yesterday it was me, I was the one who couldn't handle things... "

Xue Li rubbed her temples, and waved her hands in a bit of boredom to make them all back away.

Once the door is closed again, she will not be able to hold on...

It's so tiring to pretend to be imposing!She is really not good at it!

Su Zixian was also a little surprised when she was watching from the side just now, but when she saw that there was no outsider in front of her, she immediately relaxed, and immediately understood!

Zixian sat next to her with a curious face: "Where did it come from?"

"What else can I do? Plan ahead!" Xue Li lay down on the table, pushing her with her hands tediously, "Prepare me a chicken shredded cold noodle at noon? I'm upset, I want to eat this kind of non-greasy food!"

"All right, all right, I'll prepare for you to go now!" Su Zixian glared at her and pushed the door away, Xue Li leaned on the table and sighed: Annoying...

In the morning, Xie Zhao heard that there was something wrong with Liugeyuan, Xue Li called A Yao's people over to make a fuss, and after finishing a few important memorials, she came to see her at noon.

As soon as she entered the door, she was seen sitting on the couch, with a bowl of noodles and two dishes of cold dishes on the small table.The chopsticks in her hand picked up the noodles again and again, but she picked them up for a long time without sending them to her mouth.

"What's the matter?" He smiled and sat sideways opposite the small case, Xueli raised her eyes to look at him, and said four words: "Thinking more during pregnancy."

Xie Zhao let out a chuckle: "Don't rely on thinking too much during pregnancy. Tell me, what's going on?"

He heard that a little girl in slavery was severely punished by a nanny, but she called everyone around Ayao to discipline her. I want to say something.

Xueli held the chopsticks and twisted the noodles, with a distressed expression on her face: "I've noticed that there is a separation of relatives in the small courtyard. How should I put it? It's quite normal, but I can take care of myself on my side. It's not good if something happens to Ayao's side." gone."

She couldn't expect Ah Yao, a child under three years old, to settle all this.

"So I thought, in fact, it's nothing to separate relatives and estrangements, and it's not so terrible to even get involved in 'cliques'. The important thing is that no matter how many cliques they divide, they still have to respect Ayao and can't cross Ayao. Going to do things... so that many troubles can be suppressed from the root!"

She spoke very boringly, her black eyebrows were furrowed, she was really annoyed by this.After speaking, he picked up a shredded cucumber and threw it into his mouth, then put down his chopsticks and rubbed his temples, as if he felt that such a thing was very tiring.

Sitting across from her, Xie Zhao was dumbfounded for a moment.

This silly pear... is getting more and more transparent!
Putting it on the concubine next to it, the common practice is to punish whoever made a mistake, and punish whoever took the lead.It's good that she did it like this. In short, it's fine for Ah Yao to be good. It doesn't matter if the subordinates strangle you to death. The most important thing is being loyal to Ah Yao.As long as they are loyal, whether it's A Yao or her, the headaches will be much less.Knowing that they are divided into parties, then choose whoever you need to use it, anyway, anyone can use it with confidence.

Xie Zhao thought carefully: smart.

This method of drawing an insurmountable boundary and then watching it coldly and using it only for one's own needs... is a bit like an imperial power.Fortunately, she has weighed the importance so clearly and can still be so distressed that he doesn't know how to praise her even if he wants to praise her.

So this afternoon, Sydney listened to Xie Zhao analyze the big and small things for her, as well as the pros and cons of her handling this way, and then she was surprised to find out: "So I am so capable?"

"I never said you were incapable." Xie Zhao also ordered a bowl of noodles, and when the noodles came, he didn't care if she had an appetite or not, and just ate his own.

Her tastes really change from day to day.Previously, it was vinegar and chili, which made Wei Chen's face turn pale from fright, but today... it seems that even very little salt was added, so bland it couldn't be more bland.

But he finished eating in a hurry, wiped his mouth clean and coaxed her to eat again.After reluctantly eating half a bowl, Xueli couldn't eat any more, so she pushed the table aside and threw herself into his arms for comfort.

Xie Zhao asked Chen Jijiang to bring the memorial here, and watched it with her.Xueli consciously lay on his lap all the time, keeping her gaze lower than the memorial, without even looking at it.

By the time he got his mind back from the memorial and looked at her again, she had fallen asleep.The curved arc of the eyes is very beautiful, but the brows are still a little uneasy when you look closely...

This dumb pear, she is very thoughtful.

After being praised and encouraged by the emperor and sleeping again, Sydney felt better.The main reason is that with confidence, she feels that these things are not worth her troubles.

There were no major events in the next few days, the only thing that made her worry was that Sour Plum refused to take a good rest.People all over the yard thought about it but couldn't think of the reason. They asked Suanmei, but Suanmei bit her lip and didn't say anything.

Later, Nanny Bai suddenly remembered it, and told her with a heavy sigh: "This...may be in the places where slaves often go to do hard labor. Whether it is sickness or injury, they will not be able to work for three to five days. She is about to be whipped, is she afraid of this?"

Poor enough.

Xue Li sighed, so she had to ask Su Zixian to take care of her, and at the same time, she didn't forget to untie and untie the ebony plums that were still left in the front yard.Inexplicably, I feel a little lucky in my heart, but fortunately, Ayao doesn't have to suffer this kind of grievance.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year passed, and A Yao happily celebrated her third birthday.This year's birthday was held in the Zichen Palace, the emperor summoned all the feudal lords to bring their children of similar age to the palace to congratulate, Ah Yao had a great time, and went back to Liugeyuan and told Sydney about the birthday banquet for a long time Then, yawning, he touched her big belly with his little hand, and asked expectantly, "When will my brother and sister come out..."

Sydney smiled and said, "It's coming soon."

——When she said it was "soon", she thought that it would be the middle of February, but she didn't expect this child to be in a hurry!
On the twenty-eighth day of the first month, the Liuge courtyard was chaotic but orderly.

The two imperial physicians who were in charge of assisting Sydney's miscarriage arrived, and more imperial physicians and female doctors came.Xueli had been helped into the main room of the south courtyard which was used as a delivery room, and her stomach was throbbing with pain, but the pain was worse than this... was fear.

She had seen He Jiao give birth to a child, and she died on the day A Yao was born...

so afraid! ! !
Then there was another twitch in her stomach and Xue Li yelled out, she didn't know whether it was because of pain or fear.Panting anxiously, she called Dou Sha, and told Dou Sha to close the gate between this side and the main courtyard. A Yao was still asleep, and if she was awakened by this movement and found out it was her calling again, she would have to cry in fright.

Why is it this hour...

Sydney clenched her teeth and wanted to cry without tears.This was when the emperor was in the early court, and no one who went to report could enter the palace. My God, what if she had a dystocia and died before he came down to court! ! !
"Ah—" she let out a heart-piercing cry, and the midwives next to her were startled, thinking that it shouldn't hurt like this right now!
It should be a burst of pain, the more it hurts, she just reacted...

The midwife was also afraid that something might happen to her, so they made a plan together, thinking that they should report to the imperial doctor quickly, but in the end, Qiang Li stretched out her hand and said, "Don't go..."

Sydney looked at her crying, and the midwife was about to cry.She thought to herself, what are you dragging me for?You're in so much pain, I'll find an imperial doctor for you!
Then Sydney asked with tears in her eyes, "Will I die..."

All the midwives: "..."

To be honest, no one dares to make this guarantee.But another truth...the imperial doctor said that she is in good condition!The kind that is unlikely to kill people!

So they persuaded her gently: "My lady, don't be afraid, ah... Although giving birth to a child is dangerous, it is not easy to die. Your body is fine."

"Really..." Xueli was very anxious, thinking that if she could have a discussion with this child, it would be great when his father was reborn...

Then another burst of pain hit, this time it was really painful: "Ah!!!"
