Mrs. Lu came up with the excuse she had prepared earlier, "I haven't seen you for a long time. My aunt was so worried that she came to see you."
Xie Ruzhuo smiled slightly, "Since you are here to see me, the third aunt has also seen her, so please come back."
When she was at home, she and Mrs. Lu had already been in that situation, but the other party still came to her again and again after she got married. This was a very thick-skinned attitude!
Madam Lu didn't expect that she would say that, and the smile on her face suddenly froze, and then she said sarcastically, "Princess, are you driving away my aunt? My aunt came here specially to see you, thinking about winter." It’s cold, and you don’t have anyone to keep you company—”
"Third aunt was joking. Not to mention that there are so many people in the palace, why should I worry about finding no one to accompany me? Even if she is really bored, the person I want to invite to accompany me will only be my mother, not the three. Auntie, right?"
Xie Ruzhuo was too lazy to talk to her, so he blocked her words with one sentence.
Mrs. Lu didn't expect that Xie Ruzhuo would speak so straightforwardly, without even leaving a trace of affection for her. She looked a little sad at the moment, "Zhuo'er, even if you become the princess, I am your third aunt after all. You Is it possible that slapping me in the face like this will do you any good?"
Mrs. Lu originally wanted to be a bit naughty, but when she thought that the place she was in was Prince Jing's Mansion, she stopped her thoughts and played the tenderness card instead.
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile, "Why do you think Third Aunt is here today? Let's just tell her directly. If it's really nothing, then I'll have to see the guest off!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Lu could no longer maintain the smile on her face, so she simply revealed her purpose of coming, "Auntie, I heard that the palace is about to start a talent show, but is it true?"
Xie Ruzhuo glanced at her in surprise, but he didn't realize that the Lu family was very well-informed.
Lu's next words immediately set off alarm bells in Xie Ruzhuo's heart.
"Your third sister is not young yet, but she still doesn't have a suitable family. My aunt is secretly thinking about sending her to the palace draft. What do you think?"
Xie Ruzhuo warned, "What Third Aunt wants to do is up to you. As for whether it can be done, just ask Grandpa. Come and ask my opinion on what to do."
Mrs. Lu hurriedly said, "Isn't that because your grandfather doesn't agree? You are marrying so well now, but it's pity that your third sister is still waiting for a divorce. You sisters have a deep love for each other, so you should help her."
"Sisterly love? The third aunt really knows how to tell jokes. I don't have any sisters who want to steal my brother-in-law!" She was so angry at these words that she immediately turned red.
"Xie Ruzhuo, you have really reached a higher level. You don't want to let go of any past friendship!"
The smile on Xie Ruzhuo's face also disappeared, and he slowly uttered a sentence, "Yes, what can you do to me?"
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Mrs. Lu said three good words in a row, snorted and said, "I really came here in the wrong place today, and I think highly of you!"
After saying that, Madam Lu slammed the door and walked out without even saying goodbye.
When she went out, a gust of cold wind came in.
Xie Ruzhuo frowned, then straightened his brows and told Jiang Zhu, "Go to the concierge and tell him, next time that biting dog comes, just drive him out and let in all the others!"
Seeing a trace of anger on her face, Jiang Zhu didn't dare to delay, and immediately went out as instructed.
When Xiao Junxi came back, she saw a bit of anger on her beloved wife's face.
"Zhuo'er, what's going on? Who offended you?"
Hearing Xiao Junxi's voice, Xie Ruzhuo turned around, his expression still gloomy, "Some annoying people came to the door, but I have already driven them away."
Hearing this, Xiao Junxi raised his eyebrows slightly. He rarely saw his Zhuo'er like this.
After thinking about it, Xiao Junxi turned her head and asked Jiang Zhu with her eyes.
Jiang Zhu immediately replied, "Your Majesty, the third lady Xie came in the afternoon, and she was making a fuss about asking the princess to do something for her. If it was something else, that would be fine, but she actually asked the princess to take care of the third lady into the palace. .The princess is also the emperor’s daughter-in-law no matter what, so how can there be any reason to give her away to her father-in-law?”
After hearing this, Xiao Junxi knew where Xie Ruzhuo's anger came from. He walked up behind Xie Ruzhuo, squeezed her shoulders gently and gently, lowered his head and coaxed, "Okay, if you don't want to see them, just kick them out next time. I will be there for you." Support me, I’m so angry because of them, I can’t help my husband.”
Xie Ruzhuo was still a little angry at first, but after hearing Xiao Junxi's words, he couldn't help but laugh again, "That's what I told them. I respect the princess. If I don't show off my power, how can I live up to my status?"
Seeing her smiling face, Xiao Junxi laughed a little for a moment, scratched her nose and said, "Okay, as long as you are happy, anything is fine."
After saying this, he turned around and said, "It's getting late, please pass on the food."
Jiangzhu and the others were snickering. Hearing this, they quickly saluted seriously and said, "Yes."
Not long after, the table was filled with dinner. Xie Ruzhuo loved to eat crab meat buns these days, and Jiang Zhu specially asked the kitchen to prepare them and bring them to them.
Xie Ruzhuo was coaxed by Xiao Junxi to smile, took his hand and sat down at the dining table together, washed his hands, and then prepared to eat. Although she was a little sulky before, the big thing today was not as big as eating.
Who knows, when a crabmeal bun was put into his mouth, Xie Ruzhuo suddenly felt a surge of air coming from his stomach. He immediately covered his mouth and stood up, ran to the wooden barrel aside and vomited.
She vomited so much that she frightened Xiao Junxi so much that she immediately threw away the chopsticks in her hand, ran over to support Xie Ruzhuo and asked with concern, "Zhuo'er, are you okay?" He turned around and shouted, "What are you still doing? Get water quickly!"
Jiangzhu Qianbi was also frightened by this sudden change at first. After listening to Xiao Junxi's words, she hurriedly brought tea over to rinse Xie Ruzhuo's mouth.
Xiao Junxi took it, and when Xie Ruzhuo was breathing heavily, she put the water cup to her mouth and said softly, "Rinse your mouth."
Xie Ruzhuo took it and saw Xiao Junxi slapped his forehead and said, "The doctor from the government is here -"
Before he finished his sentence, he looked at Hongrui who was standing aside and said, "Hongrui, go to the secret door quickly and see if Wen Ruyu is there."
Because of Xie Ruzhuo's words, the room suddenly became chaotic.
After vomiting for a while, Xie Ruzhuo felt much more refreshed, and even the afternoon suffocation came out. She looked at Xiao Junxi's worried look with some amusement, and felt indescribably moved in her heart.
The doctor came quickly. Seeing the situation in the room, he knelt down quickly to salute, but Xiao Junxi pulled him up and said urgently, "Come and see the princess, what's wrong with her?"
Xie Ruzhuo's words frightened Xiao Junxi.
When the doctor saw this, he didn't dare to say anything and quickly stepped forward to check Xie Ruzhuo's pulse.
Time passed by minute by second, and Xiao Junxi felt that it was extremely long. She walked around the room, and the anxious look on her face was extremely obvious.
On the other hand, the doctor of the government, who was panicked at the beginning, gradually turned into happy.
After diagnosing the pulse, the doctor immediately bowed and said, "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince, I am very happy."
Hearing this, Xiao Junxi was slightly startled and asked subconsciously, "Where does joy come from?"
The doctor in charge of the palace combed a strand of his beard and said with a smile, "Back to the prince, the princess is pregnant. It has been more than a month now."
Xie Ruzhuo said "Ah", opened his eyes wide instantly, pointed at his belly and asked, "Doctor, you mean, I'm pregnant?"
The doctor said with a smile on his face, "What I said to the princess is absolutely true, and the fetus is exceptionally healthy, so the princess can rest assured."
Xiao Junxi came back to her senses at this time, with a look of disbelief on her face, and suddenly picked up Xie Ruzhuo, spun her around in her arms, and laughed loudly, "Zhuo'er, did you hear that? I’m going to be a father!”
Xie Ruzhuo felt dizzy after being turned around like this. He quickly hit his shoulder and yelled, "Put me down quickly!"
Xiao Junxi's face froze, and she quickly put Xie Ruzhuo down gently, and apologized, "I am so happy that my husband is so happy, please don't blame me." After saying that, she opened her mouth involuntarily, "I I’m going to be a father!”
Seeing him like this, Xie Ruzhuo was immediately amused, but when he saw the people in the room wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, he felt a little bit embarrassed for a moment.
It was Jiangzhu who reacted first and saluted first, "Congratulations to the prince and princess!"
Xiao Junxi was so happy that she heard the maids around her congratulating her in unison. She waved her hand and said, "The princess is pregnant today. Jiang Zhu will give instructions later and all the servants in the house will go to the accounting office to collect ten taels of silver."
Hearing this, the maids and ladies in the room suddenly brightened their eyes and thanked in unison, "Thank you, prince and princess!"
Xie Ruzhuo looked at Xiao Junxi with dumbfounded eyes, and sighed slightly. It's true that you don't know how valuable firewood and rice are, as this man's words can cost thousands of taels of silver.
But seeing his happy look, Xie Ruzhuo felt sweet in his heart. She actually has a child!
After having this understanding, Xie Ruzhuo looked down at his belly again, and couldn't help but feel a bit maternal.
Jiangzhu sent the doctor to collect the reward. He came back soon and took the kitchen people to cook some light meals and sent them over.
But when she came back and looked inside the room, she suddenly burst into laughter.
I saw Xie Ruzhuo being imprisoned on the bed by Xiao Junxi, leaning on two soft pillows behind him, and covered with a thick brocade quilt. A table and a soft stool were placed in front of her bed, and Xiao Junxi was sitting on the soft stool talking about something.
It wasn't until I came in that I heard what he said was -
"Zhuo'er, you are pregnant. You are no longer as good as before. You must not be willful. Be good and obey your husband in everything."
Jiangzhu suppressed a smile and pretended not to see Xie Ruzhuo, who looked sad. He only said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the dining room has prepared dinner again. Will the servant bring the food here?"
She was not stupid, so she could naturally see what the table was used for.
Xiao Junxi nodded and glanced at Jiang Zhu appreciatively. After she put the food on the table, she waved her hand and said, "Go down, there is no need to wait in the house."
Jiang Zhu responded crisply and went out with a smile, deliberately ignoring Xie Ruzhuo's look for help.
Before leaving the house, he closed the door tightly and obediently.
Xie Ruzhuo sighed and saw Xiao Junxi put the rice in her hands and fed it to her mouth, and couldn't help but explain, "Jun Xi, I'm just pregnant, I can still eat."
