Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 342

In mid-April, Lianhu Lake is green.Xiao Wenqing, who was potbellied and stumbling slowly, led his personal servants and maids, big and small, for a walk in the garden to exercise.

The lively and active Xiaoxiao took his small wooden sword and the dog general and ran around around her, shouting, "Attack, charge, general, run."

The dog general, who had grown up to the size of half an adult male goat, barked excitedly, ran around Xiaoxiao, obeyed his orders, and galloped in the direction pointed by his small wooden sword.A dog-breeding soldier and four young servants ran nervously beside the young master and the dog general.The little dude is used to wrestling and falling, and when he falls on a flat place, he will beat his head and rub some oil on his skin. They are not nervous. What they are nervous about is that if the general dog bumps into his pregnant wife, it will cause a catastrophe.

Fearing that the little prince and General Dog would accidentally rush to Xiao Wenqing, Chunli, Begonia Lily, Yingchun Zhao, and Yun Sanniang surrounded Xiao Wenqing.Yun Sanniang went to the mansion to serve Xiao Wenqing again after celebrating the New Year at home. After all, the monthly salary that the Hou Mansion gave her was very high, far exceeding the income of her husband-in-law who was a porter during the family farming and slack periods.Her mother-in-law is willing to do all the housework in the family, as long as she earns money to support the three boys in the family to go to school.

Xiao Wenqing, who was resting under the willow tree, was very happy to see her son healthy and lively calling for running and thriving.

A servant girl came over, bowed to Xiao Wenqing and said, "Madam, the housekeeper has someone to inform that Princess Rui is here, and he is inviting her to come over." Convenient, if there are female guests in the mansion, the butler will personally or send a servant to lead the female guests to the back house.

"Please hurry up." Xiao Wenqing ordered, with a trace of surprise on his face.In the past, she and the wives and concubines were casual acquaintances. Since the former prince was demoted to be the queen of the East China Sea, all the concubines have taken the initiative to communicate with her.They would invite her to any social activities in their home.She can go here as much as she can, and if she can't, she will prepare a generous gift and send it to express her apology.Xiaoxiao didn't make a big birthday party, and the concubines still gave gifts. She invited them to the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Crab last year as a return gift.She is now waiting to give birth in the mansion, except for the eldest sister and sixth sister and Fei Ling's younger siblings who will come to visit, no one else will come to disturb her, only to send some gifts when she thinks of her.

Xiao Wenqing staggered to Hongyunju and waited. After a while, Steward Zhou respectfully led Princess Rui, who was sitting in a sedan chair, into the back house.Princess Rui didn't bring many followers, and behind her were four servant girls holding gifts in their hands.

"My concubine pays homage to the concubine. I don't know that the concubine is coming, so I am not far away to welcome you." Xiao Wenqing went to the gate of the courtyard to greet her, and respectfully saluted Princess Rui who was lowered into the sedan chair.Chunli and Yun Sanniang, who had come to serve her, guarded her from left to right to prevent her from accidents.

Prince Rui is the heir that the emperor is cultivating, and Princess Rui is the future empress.The concubine’s background is not particularly noble. She comes from a second-class family. Her father is a third-rank civil servant who was promoted only this year. Both uncles are editors of the sixth- and seventh-rank Hanlin Academy. When choosing a concubine for the prince, the emperor did not consider the possibility of Prince Rui inheriting the throne at all, and chose a concubine for him whose natal family was not strong and could not support Prince Rui.

Princess Rui has a beautiful appearance, dignified, calm and gentle temperament. It is said that the concubines in Prince Rui's backyard are subdued by her hard and soft tactics, which shows that she has the means to be a queen; Prince Rui currently has seven sons and five daughters, of which there are only two sons and one daughter. The daughter was born by her, which shows that she has the courage to be a queen.

"Wen Qing, hurry up and excuse me, I came here suddenly, which surprised you." After getting off the sedan chair, Princess Rui immediately took two steps forward to help Xiao Wenqing, who was eight months pregnant, and said kindly, "You are about to give birth, so don't bend over and work casually." She is well maintained. Although she is over 35 years old, she looks like she is just in her early thirties;

"Thank you for your concern, my lady, please sit inside." Xiao Wenqing said respectfully, and invited this approachable princess to enter Hongyunju.Xiaoxiao was sweating all over from playing, and she asked the nanny to take him to take a bath.

Princess Rui nodded and went in with Xiao Wenqing.The guest of honor sat down, the servant girl served tea, and Princess Rui explained the purpose of her visit.

"My lord is the supervisor of the army, and together with Lord Hou, he went to attack a bandit den called Heifengzhai three hundred miles away. Before he left, he repeatedly told my concubine to come and visit you when you are pregnant." Princess Rui shook her hand. Hold Xiao Wenqing's hand and said with concern, "You have such a big belly and you are pregnant with twins, you must be more careful."

Yuxuan's leading troops to eliminate bandits and bandits must be training troops, but His Royal Highness Prince Rui has always been a civil servant, so how could he be the supervisor of Yuxuan's army?Well, it must be that the emperor wishes for the two brothers to be well, so that Yuxuan's future prosperity and wealth can be guaranteed.

Xiao Wenqing smiled when she heard this, and said softly, "Thank you, my lord and concubine, for your concern."

Yuxuan likes to listen to the heartbeat of the child in her abdomen, to feel the existence of the little life. He has heard Xiaoxiao's heartbeat many times when she was still in her womb, and now he has to listen to the new child's heartbeat every time he returns home.Because he is a martial artist, his hearing is beyond ordinary people, and he can really hear all kinds of sounds of the fetus.He had heard it a lot before, and one time he felt something was wrong when he heard the new baby's voice, so he was worried and quickly went to the imperial doctor to take her pulse.The imperial doctor gave the pulse, and the female imperial doctor palpated. After discussion, she said that she might be pregnant with twins, so she would have three heartbeats, one big, two small, and three.
