Xie Ruzhuo smiled helplessly and allowed a few maids to mess around. Finally, he sighed and walked towards Concubine Ye's palace.
Fortunately, the place where the carriage stopped was not far from Concubine Ye, but it was only a few turns away.
Unexpectedly, Xie Ruzhuo still ran into an uninvited guest just a few steps away.
Xiao Junhan supported the concubine and walked cautiously, and behind him was Shen Jingci with a gloomy look on her face.
Perhaps she didn't expect that someone would suddenly come out from around the corner. Before Shen Jingci could put away the gloom on her face, Xie Ruzhuo saw everything in his eyes.
When Xiao Junhan saw Xie Ruzhuo, he was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously let go of Qin Wanyi, and said first, "My brothers and sisters are also here to pay their respects?"
Nowadays, Concubine Ye is the most noble in the palace, and Xiao Junhan's biological mother, Concubine Xian, has been demoted to concubine. If he wants to pay his respects to his mother, he must first go to Concubine Ye to say hello.
After thinking about this, Xie Ruzhuo just nodded slightly and said, "Yes, please, King Qi."
She thought she gave way politely, but Xiao Junhan frowned and a look of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes.
Xiao Junhan was about to say something when Shen Jingci, who was behind Xiao Junhan, took the lead and said, "Princess Jing is wrapped up very tightly, but it's not good to wear too thick clothes in this winter. When you go back into the house, it will be cold and hot, but you will get sick." .”
As soon as she said these words, Qianbi behind her immediately stopped and said displeasedly, "Concubine, please be careful what you say. My princess has a good temper, but she is not someone who can be cursed at will! If the princess is really sick, she will be affected. Even ten concubines can’t afford the little emperor’s grandson!”
Shen Jingci did not expect that the maids around Xie Ruzhuo were all sharp-tongued, but what surprised her even more was the meaning behind Qian Bi's words.
Xie Ruzhuo, are you pregnant
Xie Ruzhuo drank to Qian Bi, then frowned and said, "That maid is rude. If King Qi doesn't leave, I will leave first."
Although Qianbi said that Shen Jingci was not polite, she was not unhappy at all.
Xiao Junhan also looked shocked and asked, "Zhuo'er, are you pregnant?"
He was so unbelievable that he even forgot to change his title. Xie Ruzhuo was unhappy and looked at Xiao Junhan with a bit of emotion.
"Well, if King Qi has nothing else to do, I will go to pay my respects to my mother."
After Xie Ruzhuo said this, he turned around and wanted to leave, but Qin Wanyi beside him spoke.
"What a coincidence. Now there are two happy events in our palace."
Xie Ruzhuo didn't have much objection to Qin Wanyi. After hearing this, he looked at Qin Wanyi with some doubts, "What does the emperor's sister-in-law mean by this?"
Qin Wanyi smiled softly, unconsciously covering her lower abdomen with her hands, and said, "I only found out that I was pregnant a few days ago. I didn't want to hear the good news about my younger siblings today. It's really gratifying."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo suddenly felt mixed feelings in his heart. It's a good thing that Qin Wanyi has a child, but this child happens to be Xiao Junhan's. When she thought of this, she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Really, then I really want to congratulate the emperor's sister-in-law. I have to go to pay my respects to the queen mother, so I won't accompany you."
Xie Ruzhuo said, and was about to leave. But he remembered something again, so he stopped, looked at Qin Wanyi and said with a smile, "Yes, I heard a story from my prince earlier, saying that in that big family, wives and concubines fight, and children are often affected. , leading to a tragic death before birth. The emperor’s sister-in-law should be careful not to be harmed by an adulterer."
Shen Jingci on the side gritted her teeth and said, "What do you mean by Jing Wangfei!"
Xie Ruzhuo turned around and glanced sideways at her, half-smiling but saying, "I'm just reminding the emperor's sister-in-law, why is the concubine so anxious?" After saying that, she looked at Qin Wanyi, who was a little worried, soothingly, and said with a smile, "It's just a matter of course. The king is in charge, so those monsters and demons are not that courageous. But the child in the emperor's sister-in-law's belly is the emperor's heir after all, and the noble legitimate son, so there is no guarantee that someone will take risks? It's better to be careful in everything."
After saying that, Xie Ruzhuo turned around and walked towards Concubine Ye's palace without looking at the thoughtful expressions of several people.
The more she doesn't want to see anyone, the more these people hang around her. It's really a bad time!
Xie Ruzhuo didn't expect what effect her words to Qin Wanyi today would have in the future. Anyway, as long as she was in a good mood now, it didn't matter what others would think.
In Xiao Junxi's words, "You are my king's princess, so naturally you can bully others with your power!"
When she heard the eunuch's message, Concubine Ye was so busy that she ordered someone to bring Xie Ruzhuo in.
Xie Ruzhuo bowed politely and said with a soft smile, "How are you, my concubine, these days?"
Concubine Ye smiled slightly and looked at her salute without arrogance or arrogance with satisfaction. She raised her hand and said, "Get up. There are so many rules here." Then she asked with a smile, "I I heard from Xi'er that you are pregnant?"
Hearing this, a blush suddenly flashed across Xie Ruzhuo's face, and he replied calmly, "It's been more than a month since I returned to my concubine. The doctor said the fetus is very stable."
When talking about the child, Xie Ruzhuo's eyebrows were unconsciously filled with maternal brilliance, which made people unable to look away.
Concubine Ye sighed in her heart at the child's good looks and said with a smile, "That's good. If you want to eat or play in the future, just tell your concubine. If Xi'er bullies you, just tell your concubine. Let me make the decision for you.”
As he spoke, he reassured her and said, "Pregnant women's moods fluctuate a lot. If you feel bored, come into the palace and let us talk."
Xie Ruzhuo responded one by one and said, "Let mother concubine worry about it." As she said that, she remembered something again, stood up solemnly, and bowed respectfully to Concubine Ye again.
Concubine Ye asked in confusion, "You kid, why are you doing such a great gift?"
Xie Ruzhuo raised his eyes and said with a solemn smile, "My mother-in-law treats me well, and I haven't formally thanked you yet."
When she said this, Concubine Ye understood. That day Xiao Xinning passed the words of Concubine Ye and Emperor Jing to Xie Ruzhuo. Xie Ruzhuo was grateful to himself.
I have to say that Xie Ruzhuo is indeed a well-behaved child. Over the past few days, Xiao Junxi has loved her so much and has never seen her lose her rules. She still does her duty.
Unlike the concubine in Prince Qi's Mansion, there is an aura of high-spiritedness in her eyebrows and eyes. Three people came here today, but Concubine Ye really looked at it. Shen Jingci felt a sigh of relief in her heart, and looked at Qin Wanyi with hatred in her eyes.
As a woman, she knew very well where the hatred came from.
It's just that she is not a serious mother-in-law after all. This matter is just something to worry about, and it is for a good concubine to worry about it. It has nothing to do with her. So Concubine Ye just briefly mentioned a few words. As for whether they can understand it or not, that is not something she should consider.
Concubine Ye retracted her thoughts and helped Xie Ruzhuo up herself.
Concubine Ye looked at her for a while, sighed, held her hand and smiled, "When I first saw you, I knew you were a good child. Later, you did so much for Xi'er, even losing your life." I almost lost it. Even if I have a heart of stone, I have to be warmed by you."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo's nose felt sour, he raised his eyes and said with a trembling voice, "Mother, concubine, and Zhuo'er are all willing to do so. Besides, the prince treats me much better than I treat him!"
"Mother, I know you are a good boy."
Concubine Ye touched her hand tenderly, then changed the subject and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, you are pregnant now, so you have to be careful. It's freezing cold today, so you can stay indoors without going out. ,"
With that said, like all elders, he began to give her careful instructions.
Xie Ruzhuo felt warm in his heart when he listened to Concubine Ye's words. He listened to her words carefully and remembered everything in his heart.
The two of them talked for a long time in the palace, and it was not until almost noon that Xiao Junxi came from the imperial study room and saw the two of them talking affectionately.
He smiled slightly and just strode in. "My son, please give my regards to my mother and concubine."
Seeing him coming, Concubine Ye smiled and asked, "Is the discussion over?"
Xiao Junxi nodded and said, "Yes, my father said that he would come over after finishing the matter and asked his son to tell his mother and concubine that they would wait for him during lunch."
After hearing this, Concubine Ye couldn't help but smile, and saw Xiao Junxi continue to say, "Mother and concubine, I will take my daughter-in-law back first. I won't disturb the world between you and my father."
Concubine Ye was surprised at first by Xiao Junxi's rare talk, and then she laughed, "You kid, do you think your mother-in-law is taking over your daughter-in-law? Okay, you go back quickly, but the road will be slower. It's freezing cold. Yes, be careful of slippery roads."
Xiao Junxi responded, said goodbye to Xie Ruzhuo, and then carefully helped her daughter-in-law out of the palace.
But as soon as he left the palace, the smile on his face disappeared.
Xie Ruzhuo didn't feel it at first, but when Xiao Junxi looked at her more and more wrongly, Xie Ruzhuo also came back to his senses. Is Xiao Junxi's displeasure because of him
But she couldn't figure out why Xiao Junxi was angry with her, so she asked directly, "What's wrong? You act like this when you see me. Do you think you dislike me?"
When he said this, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved, and his eyes looking at Xiao Junxi were a little more accusatory.
Seeing this, Xiao Junxi couldn't help but sigh, turned her face towards him, and asked, "Explain yourself, when did you know about Ning'er."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo was stunned for a moment. What happened to Xiao Xinning? What happened to Xiao Xinning
She thought about it, and it seemed that the only thing she kept from Xiao Junxi about Xiao Xinning was Li Jie's. Could it be that-
All of Xie Ruzhuo's expressions were written on his face. Is there anything Xiao Junxi didn't understand? Immediately, he tapped her forehead with his hand and said, "Okay, don't think about it. Father already knows about this."
After hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo was shocked and asked cautiously, "Does my father know that I am involved in this?"
Xiao Junxi looked at her funny and said, "If father knew about it, do you think you can still sit well in the carriage now?"
"Hey, how did you know that?"
Even Emperor Jing didn't know, so how could Xiao Junxi know.
Seeing Xie Ruzhuo's appearance, Xiao Junxi sighed. People say that one pregnancy makes one stupid for three years. Could it be that his Zhuo'er becomes stupid from now on
"Have you ever seen Ning'er and seen me acting like a mouse seeing a cat?"
Xie Ruzhuo reacted instantly. It is said that things are extremely weird when things go wrong. Didn't Xiao Xinning just pick up Xiao Junxi when she saw him in the past? Ever since she fell in love with Li Jie, she felt guilty when she saw Xiao Junxi.
Xiao Junxi might not have thought about it carefully before, but now that he knew about it, he just reacted.
