After Wei Hanzhou went back at night, he felt that his home was not the same as before.
But if he specifically said what was different, he couldn't tell, as if it was the same as before.
People are still those people, and things are still those things.
Wei Hanzhou was thinking about it when he saw Shao Mama come out of the house.
"Uncle is back." Mammy Shao saluted Wei Hanzhou.
Seeing Mammy Shao, Wei Hanzhou hurriedly returned a salute: "Mammy."
After all, Mammy Shao is the person next to the elder, so it is reasonable to do so.
"The eldest girl is waiting for you, come in quickly." Mammy Shao said with a smile.
"Um."
After seeing Mammy Shao, Wei Hanzhou's doubts increased even more. Mammy Shao is someone close to her mother-in-law, so why did she suddenly come to the mansion? Moreover, listening to her, the mother-in-law should not come.
Also, he finally found out that something wasn't quite right. It seemed that everyone in the house was in a good mood, with a smile on their faces and a little hurried footsteps.
Did something happy happen
Although Wei Hanzhou was puzzled, he thought it would be better to go in and ask his wife.
As soon as he entered, Wei Hanzhou found Liu Tangxi sitting on the couch and eating apples.
"You're back~" Liu Tangxi greeted him with a smile.
Although Liu Tangxi looked fine, Wei Hanzhou was still a little nervous.
There is no him, because Liu Tangxi is sitting on the couch at the moment, and the people serving around him also look cautious.
Wei Hanzhou was very anxious, he walked over quickly, sat on the edge of the couch, and asked as calmly as possible: "What's wrong? Has Lang Zhong been here before?"
Liu Tangxi shook his head and nodded.
Wei Hanzhou was even more puzzled.
Liu Tangxi had been holding back for a long time, and couldn't help but explain to him: "I went to Hou's mansion today and looked at Fuyao and Shulan. Mother saw that my face was not good-looking, so she invited an imperial doctor to come to my house to take a look at me. "
When he said these words, the smile on Liu Tangxi's face couldn't stop.
Wei Hanzhou originally thought that the lady was ill, but looking at the bright smile on her face at the moment, she thought to herself, the lady is so happy, is it because her body is okay
But if the body is not in serious trouble, why do you want to sit on the couch? Also, why did Mammy Shao follow? Everyone in the house was laughing...
Is it...
Wei Hanzhou's eyes widened slightly, he lowered his head and looked at Liu Tangxi's stomach.
Looking at the direction of Wei Hanzhou's eyes, Liu Tangxi said a little unhappily, "Wei Hanzhou, you are too smart, you will know before I say it."
What a disappointment!
She originally wanted Wei Hanzhou to guess, but now it's alright, no need to guess.
Hearing this, Wei Hanzhou verified the idea just now.
So, is the lady really pregnant
Wei Hanzhou's gaze moved from Liu Tangxi's stomach to her face.
Seeing the expectation in Wei Hanzhou's eyes, Liu Tangxi affirmed, "I have it."
Although he had been looking forward to this day for a long time, Wei Hanzhou was still very excited when it really came.
However, his expression of excitement was different from others, and he looked silly.
Seeing that Wei Hanzhou's expression was finally different from the previous one, Liu Tangxi's depressed mood improved a little, raised his hand to hit him, and said proudly, "Look at you stupid."
She had completely forgotten how silly she looked when she found out she was pregnant.
After being beaten by Liu Tangxi, Wei Hanzhou finally recovered and raised his hand to hold Liu Tangxi's hand.
"Really... have?"
Liu Tangxi smiled and said, "Of course, it's been more than two months since the imperial doctor's diagnosis."
"More than two months?" Wei Hanzhou repeated subconsciously.
My parents and they have been here for more than two months.
Wei Hanzhou suddenly thought of the days when his parents first arrived, so the child was conceived at that time.
Thinking of this, Wei Hanzhou glanced at Liu Tangxi, his eyes full of meaning.
Liu Tangxi also seemed to think about the events of those few days, her face warmed slightly, and she whispered, "Ahem, congratulations, Mr. Wei, your efforts were not in vain."
"Well, thank you lady for your cooperation."
Although Wei Hanzhou's expression did not change significantly, it was not difficult to hear the joy in his voice.
"What are you talking about, such a Meng Lang!" Liu Tangxi beat him lightly.
Wei Hanzhou grabbed Liu Tangxi's hand and took her into his arms. Seeing her gentle movements, he felt that Liu Tangxi was not a person, but a treasure.
Feeling Wei Hanzhou's cautiousness, Liu Tangxi raised his hand around his waist and put his head in his arms.
Smelling the peculiar smell unique to Liu Tangxi, Wei Hanzhou felt that his whole heart was filled.
In the dream, he lost almost everything, only himself.
But in reality, he has everything.
How fortunate.
In the early morning of the next day, Cheng Momo came back. She blamed herself very much. After she came back, she knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.
Liu Tangxi comforted her in turn.
Next, Momma Cheng took care of her more meticulously.
Mammy Shao stayed for a few days. Seeing that this place was very appropriate, she went back.
When Li Shi and others found out that Liu Tangxi was pregnant, they were very happy and brought some fresh vegetables grown by themselves to see her.
And the Houfu sent more things, and all kinds of supplements entered the residence like running water.
A month later, the third prince married a girl from the Marquis of Megatron.
Liu Tangxi has been pregnant for more than three months. Although the weather is getting hotter, her appetite is much better than before.
Hearing this news, I was really shocked.
Is it too soon for the prince to marry the righteous concubine
It has been more than a month since the imperial decree came down.
Isn't the Ministry of Rites the most procrastination, why is it so fast now
In the evening, after turning off the lights, Liu Tangxi asked Wei Hanzhou.
"The matter of the third prince marrying the righteous concubine is too hasty, isn't it? I heard people say that things don't seem to be peaceful outside? What's going on? It's making people panic."
Wei Hanzhou pondered for a while, but he didn't hide it, and said against Liu Tangxi's ear: "Now the court is getting more and more chaotic, the prince and the third prince are fighting fiercely. Yesterday, two officials were in the morning. fight."
He didn't want to say it, and shouldn't say it, after all, the lady is pregnant now. However, the courtroom has long been chaotic, and a bigger storm is about to come.
Rather than letting the lady know from elsewhere that she was frightened, it is better to tell her clearly in advance.
However, when he was talking, Wei Hanzhou put his hand on Liu Tangxi's back and gently stroked her to ease her nervousness and anxiety.
Liu Tangxi was a little surprised.
However, because she had read the book, she also knew some of King Jin's actions from Wei Hanzhou, so she could accept such news. The reason why she was surprised was just a bit of an accident. The day came suddenly, and she was not mentally prepared.
"After all, the prince occupies the position of the prince, and the third prince is eager to get the support of the military generals. It was revealed that the Ministry of Household had deducted the army's salaries, and the prince insisted that it had nothing to do with him, and some people suspected that the emperor did it deliberately. Victory, but because the supply was not timely enough, many soldiers were killed and wounded. The emperor's control over the generals became weaker and weaker, so he supported the decision of the third prince. Not only that, the emperor also wanted to draft a talent pool and choose more daughters from ministers' families Enter the palace."
Liu Tangxi felt like he was listening to a story.
This is all a mess.
After the surprise, only speechless.
Emperor You, the Crown Prince, the Third Prince... Are you out of your mind? In the book, Emperor You and the Crown Prince have no brains, but the Third Prince does. How can I listen now, the third prince is so incompetent. Is it because the plot has changed and the halo of the heroine no longer shines on him
However, these are not the things that Liu Tangxi cares about the most, and she can't control it, and saving her life is what she needs most. Therefore, she just wants to know who will win this war.
"But what the king did?" Liu Tangxi asked in a low voice.
Wei Hanzhou said softly, "Yes."
Hearing this affirmative answer, Liu Tangxi smiled.
"Miss don't have to worry, no matter how chaotic elsewhere, the capital will not be chaotic for the time being. Madam is just as good as before. Do whatever you want, don't worry about the outside world." Wei Hanzhou said.
He is still by Emperor You's side now, the crown prince and the third prince want to win him over and will never provoke him.
So, the lady is safe now.
"Okay. I believe in you." Liu Tangxi's eyes filled with trust.
Saying that, he hugged Wei Hanzhou and kissed him.
Wei Hanzhou is really getting more and more cute, he tells her everything and doesn't perfunctory her.
"Cough, don't move, go to sleep."
"okay."
After speaking, Liu Tangxi closed his eyes.
Almost in an instant, Wei Hanzhou heard the sound of breathing coming from the side of his ear.
Liu Tangxi is now in excellent shape, able to eat and sleep, and starts to go to the shop outside the next day.
Now there are three shops selling candied haws, and she originally wanted to continue to open branches. However, after Wei Hanzhou told her these words last night, she gave up the idea. Judging from the current situation, it is estimated that it will not take long for the court to be in chaos. At that time, it will not be known who will lose or who will win. In addition, she is still pregnant and her energy is limited, so she should not make any big moves.
She exchanged the money in her hand for silver notes that are common in all countries, and some of it was exchanged for gold, and put them all in a small box.
In case Wei Hanzhou really loses, she can take good money and run away with her family.
After another half month, Liu Tangxi took a carriage and walked slowly to the Li family in the suburbs of Beijing.
As a result, it was found that only Zhang and Zhou were embroidering at home, and Li and Wei were not there.
"Where have your parents gone?"
Zhou Shi explained with a smile: "The two of them went to the city to sell vegetables."
"Ah? I went to sell vegetables. I haven't been feeling well for the past few months, so I didn't care about it."
Mrs. Zhang poured a glass of warm water for Liu Tangxi and said, "Three brothers and sisters, have a drink."
"You have a big belly, don't run back and forth. If you miss us, let someone send a letter back and let's go see you." Zhou Shi said.
Liu Tangxi said with a smile, "I'm not tired of staying at home every day, I want to come out for a walk."
After sitting for a while, Third Wei and Mrs. Li came back in the carriage.
Seeing their sweaty appearance, Liu Tangxi said, "Father, mother, don't work so hard to sell vegetables in the future. If your family is short of money, you can tell me."
Li said with a smile: "We are not short of money, we still have money on hand. I can't embroider, and now there is no work in the fields, and your father doesn't have to work. I'm going to Beijing to sell some food. It's just a little hot today."
"Then go when it gets cooler," said Liu Tangxi.
Li said: "It's cool but there will be no more vegetables. It's better to sell some at this time."
Liu Tangxi knew that it was useless for her to say any more, so she didn't say anything.
Li turned around and asked about her body, and she was relieved to see that she could eat and sleep, and that she looked good.
Then, a few people chatted.
"The price of vegetables in this capital is really expensive, and it makes more money than we sell candied haws in the countryside. If I had known, there would be more varieties this year." Li said with some regret.
Liu Tangxi said: "Then wait until next year for father and mother to have more variety. If you have any tiring work, let me know, and I will ask the servants in the family to help."
Li waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need, we have a lot of family, just do whatever you want."
After a while, Mrs. Li went to cook, and Liu Tangxi went to the field to pick a few cucumbers and mixed them with cold.
After dinner, she slept here.
There was a wing next to the main room, which was reserved for her and Wei Hanzhou.
Staying here, I feel that the panic in the capital seems to have disappeared all of a sudden, and everything is still the most peaceful appearance.
Liu Tangxi likes this quiet feeling very much.
As for the chaos in the capital, she didn't tell Li Shi and others, nor did Wei Hanzhou.
Liu Tangxi stayed here until evening before returning.
Next, Liu Tangxi's appetite was much larger than before, and people gradually became more rounded.
But Wei Hanzhou was getting busier and busier.
He was busy in the past, but at least he went back to the house for dinner every time. But now he is too busy at home, and often waits for Liu Tangxi to fall asleep before returning.
Liu Tangxi knew what Wei Hanzhou was busy with, so she was very considerate at first, didn't say anything, silently supported him, and tried not to disturb him. And the child in her belly is also a sensible one, except that she was a little uncomfortable when she was pregnant, but after three months, it will be fine.
However, Xu Shi was pregnant. After two or three months, Liu Tangxi finally couldn't help complaining: "Why did you come back? You haven't been back with me for many days."
Wei Hanzhou looked down at Liu Tangxi's aggrieved appearance, and then saw her belly bulge slightly, feeling very guilty.
"Sorry, it was my fault."
Liu Tangxi pouted and blurted out a question: "Tell me, are you tired of me?"
Wei Hanzhou frowned slightly and said, "What nonsense."
Wei Hanzhou clearly denied it, but Liu Tangxi still felt aggrieved. She is obviously a very strong person, but she couldn't help but shed a few tears at this moment.
Seeing his wife cry, Wei Hanzhou panicked and raised his hand to wipe her tears. However, the tears were still falling, and Wei Hanzhou became more anxious and distressed, raised his hand to embrace Liu Tangxi, and kept stroking her back to comfort her.
"Sorry." Wei Hanzhou apologized again, "I said the wrong thing."
After crying for a while and venting her emotions, Liu Tangxi felt much calmer and her reason returned.
She left Wei Hanzhou's arms, raised her hand to wipe the tears on her face, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I was wrong just now, I shouldn't make trouble like this. I know you're busy, I couldn't hold back, You don't have to worry about me, even if you are busy with your own business, don't worry at home, I will take care of my parents."
She knew that the situation in the capital was very dangerous now. If Wei Hanzhou takes one wrong step, they will fall into the abyss of doom as in the book.
Compared with life and daily companionship, it is not worth mentioning.
Only by surviving can we live to snuggle together every day.
Liu Tangxi's tears were like a needle, and the needle pierced Wei Hanzhou's heart. He thought that after he told her about the situation, he would be able to work outside with peace of mind, but he ignored her feelings, and that she was different from before after she was pregnant.
It was his dereliction of duty.
After wiping Liu Tangxi's tears with a warm cotton cloth, the two turned off the lights and went to lie on the bed.
"Among the generals, most people support King Jin. Among the civil servants, some people support the direct son, and they are dissatisfied with the emperor's position. At the same time, Zheng Xiang's disciples also support King Jin."
Everything Wei Hanzhou said was good news.
"But how did I hear that due to the increase in taxes over the years, there is a smack in the north, and Dayun is also about to move at the border." Liu Tangxi said in a stern voice.
"It's true, but the border affairs are false. The border is guarded by the three cities of Yunbei, so it can't be messed up."
Liu Tangxi's eyes widened.
Wei Hanzhou gently stroked Liu Tangxi's back over and over again, and said, "Don't worry, everything is under the control of the prince."
"Oh, yes, the prince's fief is there."
As he spoke, Liu Tangxi calmed down and gradually fell into sleep.
Wei Hanzhou let out a long sigh of relief.
Things are far from being as simple as he said. The crown prince and the third prince cannot be compared with King Jin, but Emperor You is the head of a country. Even if he is foolishly implemented, there are many problems in collecting taxes year after year, but after all, he has ruled the Dali for many years, and he is the emperor personally appointed by the previous emperor. Orthodox.
However, King Jin has been secretly gathering forces in the capital for more than a year, and his control over the capital is much stronger than before.
Now that Emperor Youdi has discovered it, it can't be changed.
Now, Emperor You does not know how powerful King Jin is, so he dare not move King Jin publicly. He was afraid that he would really offend King Jin, and King Jin would send troops to confront him. He only dared to send someone to assassinate in private, or to eradicate King Jin's people.
King Jin will not confront Emperor You until he completely controls the capital, for fear of losing both sides.
Hearing the sudden wind blowing outside and the rustling of the leaves, Wei Hanzhou thought, this winter, I'm afraid it won't be calm.
Results will be available by early next year at the latest.
Liu Tangxi slept soundly, listening to the sound of the wind, frowning slightly, and was about to wake up when he saw it.
Wei Hanzhou restrained his thoughts, raised his hand and stroked her back lightly, and said softly, "Go to sleep, I'm here."
Soon, Liu Tangxi's eyebrows gradually loosened, and he fell asleep again.
Early the next morning, when Liu Tangxi woke up, she felt that the bed was a little colder, and she unconsciously wrapped the quilt tightly. And Wei Hanzhou, who was beside her, had already left.
Cheng Momo heard the movement and walked in.
"Ma'am, are you awake?"
Liu Tangxi said: "Well. Why does it feel so cold, is it raining outside?"
Cheng Momo smiled and said, "That's not true. The wind suddenly blew up last night."
Liu Tangxi nodded.
"Are you going to lie down for a while or get up now?" Momma Cheng asked.
Liu Tangxi didn't think of it, but it was getting late, and she was a little hungry.
"Get up now."
"Okay, I'll go get you clothes." Madam Cheng smiled and went to the side to look for clothes, "You can't wear the clothes you used to wear, but fortunately, Mrs. Hou asked you to make some new autumn clothes for you two days ago. Clothes, otherwise it will be troublesome."
"Well, it's still my mother who is thoughtful."
After a while, Liu Tangxi got up.
When I walked out the door, I really felt a coolness, the leaves in the yard also fell on the ground, and Mrs. Chen was cleaning.
"Madam slept well last night, did you wake up?" Mrs. Chen asked.
Liu Tangxi shook his head: "No, everything is fine."
In the second half, Liu Tangxi was about to cook dinner after waking up, but saw someone coming.
"Fuyao, Shulan, why are you here?" Liu Tangxi asked in surprise.
Fuyao smiled and said, "Now that the grains in the fields are about to be cooked, the grandparents and parents are busy collecting grains. They don't have time to look at me and the second sister, so let us come to see the third aunt."
Liu Tangxi is now pregnant and worried about the situation. She is in a bad mood, but she has forgotten such an important thing.
Presumably not only the grain is about to ripen, but also the fruits in the fields are almost ripe.
Now that the person in charge didn't come to her, she was probably picked up by her mother.
However, it would be great for Fuyao and Shulan to come to her.
"Okay, it just so happens that the third aunt has nothing to do. Come and accompany me."
"Um."
"What do you want to eat at night, the third aunt will cook it for you." Liu Tangxi asked with a smile.
"I want to eat diced grape chicken, sweet potato, sweet and sour pork ribs." Fu Yao began to order.
After Shu Lan heard this, she swallowed.
"Shu Lan, what about you, what do you want to eat?" Liu Tangxi asked.
Shu Lan glanced at Liu Tangxi's stomach and said, "No need for Aunt San, I can eat the same thing as my eldest sister. I want to eat as my eldest sister said."
Shu Lan has always been so obedient and sensible, seeing her look at her stomach, Liu Tangxi understood.
"It's alright, if the third aunt can't do it, let the kitchen do it for you. It's no trouble. Tell me, what do you want to eat?" Liu Tangxi said.
Shu Lan's thoughts were broken, she pursed her lips, and said a little embarrassedly, "I want to eat... I want to eat candied haws with red bean paste."
Hearing this, Liu Tangxi smiled and said, "Why is it so difficult, just let them go to the store to buy it, don't go out with the third aunt."
Shu Lan nodded, pursed her lips and smiled.
Seeing her so cute, Liu Tangxi couldn't help pinching her face.
Turning his head, Liu Tangxi said to Mama Cheng, "Let someone make two strings of red bean paste, mung bean paste, and glutinous rice candied gourds and send them over."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Okay, you go to review your homework first, and I'll cook for you."
In the evening, Wei Hanzhou still didn't come back until Hai Shi.
After he came back, Liu Tangxi rambled on: "Fuyao and Shulan came to our house this afternoon, saying that the food in the fields was about to be collected and no one at home looked at them. This was also my negligence, I almost forgot. About the autumn harvest. I asked someone to ask in the afternoon, and they said that our family's food will be collected in two or three days. My parents are getting old, and my sisters and sisters still need to embroider to make money. The two brothers are afraid that it is difficult to ask for leave. , I thought, let the servants of Zhuangzi help you when the grain is harvested. What do you think?"
Wei Hanzhou took a closer look at Liu Tangxi's face, and saw that although she was busy with something, her face looked much better than yesterday, and suddenly felt that it was a very correct decision to let the sisters Fuyao and Shulan come over.
"Well, the lady can decide what to do." Wei Hanzhou said, "Just, will the two sisters quarrel with the lady here? If they do, let them go back."
Liu Tangxi immediately retorted, saying: "No, let them stay in our mansion. I'm bored alone, you won't come back at night, and I don't have anyone to talk to. When the two of them come, I'm down. It feels lively."
"Well, then let them stay here."
Liu Tangxi smiled and said, "Okay."
