Not long after the Queen bestowed the gift, Su Yi heard that Sun Shuli had received a poor grade in the year-end performance evaluation of officials and would be transferred out of the capital to take up a post in the south after the new year.
The people in that area are tough and uncivilized, which is very different from the capital. Not to mention whether Sun Shuli, who has been a rich boy since childhood, is capable of doing the job, the fatigue from the long journey would be enough to wear out his small body.
Sun Shuli is from the lineage of Prince An and has always followed Prince An's lead. Relying on this big tree, he has been very successful in officialdom over the years. Now he is suddenly demoted, which is tantamount to a great loss of face for Prince An.
This was the emperor's compensation to Prince Rui. Although he was reluctant to take action directly against his own son, he would never be soft-hearted towards some insignificant little people.
The emperor and empress had both made their statements, and the matter was over. If Prince Rui continued to cause trouble for Prince An, it would seem that he was too petty in the eyes of outsiders.
King Rui now has no time to pay attention to outsiders.
All the servants in the palace knew that their prince now held the princess at the top of his heart. He could not leave her for even a moment of the twelve hours a day and loved her as if she were the apple of his eye.
If this had happened a few months ago, who would have thought that King Rui, a martial arts fanatic, would have something he was more obsessed with than martial arts
Around the New Year, people from other palaces came to pay New Year's greetings and saw how considerate the King of Rui was to the Princess of Rui. He even blew away the tea until it cooled before handing it to her, not to mention his focused gaze and his constant companionship. I'm afraid there is no other man who is so considerate to his wife.
Now, when people in the capital mention Prince Rui, they say less about him being the 'King of Hell' and more about how loving he is with his princess. The martial arts fanatic has actually become a wife-obsessed person.
Many people envy and are jealous of Su Yi. She has unique beauty, the noble position of a princess, and all the favor of the prince. She has all the good things in the world. How can people not feel jealous when they mention her
Others were envious, but Sui herself was distressed.
One or two days would be fine, but Prince Rui was sticking to her like this every day, which annoyed her so much that she finally lured him to the martial arts field for a fight. She finally kicked the loser out of the palace and went outside to work, giving herself half a day off.
Qinglian looked at her carefree appearance and couldn't help laughing: "Others envy the love between the prince and the princess, but they don't know that the princess is worried and wrinkled the whole pond."
"Let's not mention him." Su Yi leaned against the window, looking at the snow dripping from the eaves, and said unhappily.
Spring is about to come. Although melting snow is colder than snowing, tender green buds will sprout on the exposed ground after the snow melts.
Su Yi calculated with her fingers and found that when she came into this world, the peach blossoms were about to bloom. It has been exactly one year now. The wish she made at the beginning has basically been fulfilled, except for the addition of a sticky follower.
Qinglian seemed to recall the past as well. She looked out the window and said with emotion, "A year ago, I didn't dare to imagine the good life I have now. Miss actually became the princess, and the prince is still so kind to you. It feels like a dream."
Su Yi smiled and said, "Why should I not think about it? It's still early. I can't bear to let you go, but in the future, when you have children, no matter whether they are boys or girls, I will let them go and let them be free. If they are promising and willing to study, I will support them. One day when your children become officials, I will ask for an imperial decree for you. That will be your good life."
Qinglian's eyes filled with tears when she heard this. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say to express her gratitude.
Su Yi tilted her head and said to her with a smile, "I wonder if you are pregnant now?"
It was just a joke, but Qinglian subconsciously touched her belly and her face slowly turned red.
"Did I guess it right?" Su Yi blinked, looking surprised. "When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me?"
Qinglian blushed and stammered, "It's not confirmed yet, but my period has been late for more than 20 days this month, and I'm afraid it will be a false alarm..."
"Why are you afraid of being overjoyed? She must be pregnant!" Su Yi said confidently. He immediately asked someone to call the doctor and taught Qing Lian a lesson: "You need to be careful in the first few months. And you come to serve me and run around with me. What if you get bumped? When the doctor comes to see you, you can go back and rest. There's nothing to worry about with me. Qing Xing is enough."
"How can you say it so seriously, young lady? Besides, Qingxing is not experienced enough to handle a big scene, so you'd better let this servant follow you."
Su Yi waved her hand and finalized it on the spot, "I have experience in giving birth to children, just do as I say."
After she finished speaking, Qinglian looked at her strangely, and almost asked: You have never given birth to a child, so where do you get this experience
Su Yi had never actually given birth, but she had been treated as a pregnant woman. The 24-hour, no-brainer care she received was enough to leave a deep impression on anyone who had experienced it.
When Prince Rui returned home, the doctor had just left. The maids in the mansion were surrounding Qinglian to congratulate her, and it was lively. But when he came in, they all became as quiet as quails.
"Is anyone in the mansion sick?" Prince Rui walked straight to Su Yi and sat down. He took her teacup with one hand to drink tea, and squeezed her palm with the other hand.
Su Yi said: "She is not sick, Qinglian is pregnant now."
Hearing this, King Rui put down his teacup and looked at Qinglian's belly with a serious face.
Qinglian felt so uncomfortable being stared at that, and the maids dared not even breathe.
Seeing this, Su Yi asked them to leave, then hooked King Rui's chin and asked, "What are you looking at?"
King Rui turned his head along with her force, his brows still knitted, as if he was thinking about some eternal puzzle, "How could she have a doll?"
Su Yi said speechlessly: "Qinglian and her husband have been married for five years. If they hadn't been separated from each other, their children would have been everywhere. Now they live together, so what's so strange about having a child?"
King Rui lowered his eyelids, glanced quickly at her belly, then raised them and nodded nonchalantly, "I see."
"..." This acting is too poor. Do you know what it means to be so cautious
Su Yi never beats around the bush and asks directly, "Do you want a doll, too?"
Prince Rui was no longer interested in this. Sui had clearly forbidden him to do so, that when there were other people present, they could only touch hands but not hug. But now that the servants had left, he naturally reached out his hands, brought the princess to his lap, and put his strong arms around her waist.
Hearing Su Yi's question, he said, "Uncle Emperor is always long-winded."
The emperor must have been furious again after hearing what he said.
But Su Yi could imagine how much this guy had been pushed around. In this era, some men in their thirties were almost having grandchildren, but he was still single not long ago. How much verbal abuse had he endured from the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the Empress in the years since he became an adult? It was rare for him to act like nothing had happened.
Not to mention him, even Su Yi, who had only been married for a few months, had already received countless overt and covert hints from the Empress Dowager. After all, the times were different, and the identities were different. The dignified Rui Wang Mansion would not have a peaceful life in the future without an heir.
King Rui kissed Su Yi on the cheek, but seeing that she didn't react, not even pushing him with her hand as usual, he felt ignored and was unhappy, so he kissed her again.
Su Yi then slapped him on the face and said, "Think about serious matters, be serious."
Prince Rui kissed her palm and said, "You say."
"Do you want me to have a baby?" Su Yi turned around and looked at him and asked.
King Rui's palm gently stroked her back, "If you want, give birth."
"If you don't want to have a baby, can you not have one? The emperor would be the first to disagree."
"If he wants, let him give birth himself."
Su Yi was amused by his serious tone, "If the emperor could give birth himself, the harem would be peaceful."
In fact, whether to have a child or not is not a problem for Su Yi. After all, she doesn't have to give birth to one for real, and Mao Tuan has been her son once. They both have experience, so if they want to have a child, shouldn't it be easy to get one
She just wanted to see what King Rui's attitude was towards this matter. However, looking at the person who was pinching her fingers and playing with them, Su Yi felt that the other person's interest in the child was probably not as great as his interest in her hand.
But she still decided to have a child, firstly to let Maotuan out to play, and secondly to deal with those important people in the palace in exchange for a quiet life.
Qinglian was forced to rest by her, and the ones who came to serve her that night were replaced by Qingxing and another maid in the palace.
The two of them were young, and unlike Qinglian, they were not married. When serving dinner, they saw the prince taking good care of the princess, sometimes making soup, sometimes serving dishes. They had no chance to do anything and could only stand by at a loss, their faces flushed. They dared not look at him any more, and found the dinner time very uncomfortable.
After bathing, Su Yi asked them to leave and combed her hair in front of the mirror with a comb.
The wooden comb was suddenly taken over by someone. She didn't even look back, letting the person comb her hair in an unfamiliar manner.
The candlelight flickered, casting the shadows of the two people on the window. Their close intimacy was so enviable.
Before going to bed at night, Sui lay on King Rui as usual, tapping his chest with her index finger from time to time.
King Rui put one arm around her back, rested his chin on the top of her head, and occasionally bent down to give her a kiss.
Su Yi was very suspicious. If he always kissed like this, wouldn’t he kiss her hair
She suddenly said, "Why don't we have a baby too?"
Prince Rui didn't react much, just hummed.
Su Yi listened and felt that this guy was very calm. He didn't look like the surprised guy who stared at Qinglian's belly in the afternoon. Could it be that he got used to it so quickly
She was too lazy to ask more questions, so she yawned and fell asleep in a daze.
In the middle of the night, she suddenly felt some movement beside her. Su Yi opened her eyes and dimly saw King Rui with a pair of extremely clear eyes, staring at her lower abdomen without blinking, with a big hand still on it.
Seeing that Su Yi had woken up, he frowned and asked, "When will the baby come out?"
Su Yi said nothing and slapped him in the face.
No matter when, it won’t pop up suddenly in the middle of the night!
