This anti-theft seal can be found in the article. Send a small red envelope and give the password Lm7KiM41Py. She asked for some fabrics from the old lady. They were all top quality and felt soft and slippery in her hands. She started to make clothes for her tadpoles stitch by stitch.
She was sitting there embroidering the patterns on the uppers of her shoes, while Nanny An next to her was talking back and forth, occasionally serving tea and water.
"My dear madam, you are such a wonderful person. You can still do this stuff. Even at my age, I can't do this!"
Nanny An was also the one who was with the old lady earlier, and later she served Xiao Heng in the yard. She may not be very proud in front of her master, but she can still manipulate the little girl below her at will. She has not done this kind of needlework for many years. .
"Little madam, I asked the kitchen to make some bird's nest soup. Drink some. It nourishes your body and is good for the baby in your belly."
After hearing this, Gu Sui'er put down what she was doing, took the bird's nest soup and drank it slowly.
Although she had seen the world as a helper at the town inn before, she had never seen this bird's nest soup. Thanks to Aunt An's nagging, she also knew that this bird's nest soup was a good thing and could nourish children.
She actually didn't quite understand why this bird's nest soup smelled like raw eggs despite how good it was.
But as long as it's good for the tadpole, even if she doesn't like the taste too much, she will try to swallow it.
After finishing the bird's nest soup, she remembered: "Mother An, didn't you say a few days ago that the bird's nests were almost gone? Why are they always there these days?"
Aunt An put away the bowl and said with a smile: "Little madam, I forgot to tell you. It was the eldest lady who sent someone to ask. She knew that there were not many bird's nests left, so she specially sent a box with 20 bird's nests in it. A few cups, I think it’s enough to last a month.”
Gu Sui'er felt grateful after hearing this. Although this eldest lady always had a cold and indifferent face, which seemed a bit scary at first glance, she was actually very nice. She had been here for so long, and she was so grateful both inside and outside. took care of her.
"Then should I go thank Madam?"
"The good things in our room are either rewarded by the old lady or sent here by the eldest lady. If you thank me every day, you won't be able to thank me. I don't think the young lady should worry about it too much. I just want to see you in front of the old lady someday." Yes, just mention it. In fact, a mere bird's nest is nothing in this prince's mansion, so for Baba to step forward to thank you is a bit shameful."
When Gu Sui'er heard this, she thought that she was a person who had never seen the world in the first place. Since her grandma said that it was a shameless thing to do, she might as well forget it.
"Then I will go to the old lady tomorrow to say hello. If I meet the eldest lady, I will mention it and thank her."
"Yes, that's how it should be."
After eating the bird's nest soup, the tadpoles in her stomach seemed a little unable to hold back and were kicking. Gu Sui'er let Grandma An support her and walked back and forth in the yard.
She was used to being busy in the countryside. When she first entered the Marquis's mansion, she didn't go out much except to go to the old lady to say hello. She felt depressed after staying in the house all day, so she wanted to go out for a walk in the yard when she had nothing to do.
Although this Bamboo Garden only has bamboos and no other flowers and plants, it is still green, so it is good for your eyes to take a leisurely look.
As he was walking, he heard footsteps coming from outside. Before he knew what was going on, a man with an imposing figure stepped into the yard.
It's Xiao Heng.
The robe Xiao Heng is wearing now is different from last night and this morning. Although it is also a crimson robe, the hem, sleeves, and neckline of the robe are embroidered with various complicated and exquisite patterns. There is also a white jade belt around the waist. The whole person looks better than he did this morning. More valuable.
Maybe not only the gold is expensive, but also the momentum is different.
Now he looks very majestic, even more majestic than the county official.
I just got to know Xiao Heng a little bit before, but now he suddenly changed.
Gu Sui'er stood next to the bamboo, stroking her belly and feeling a little at a loss.
Xiao Heng saw her when he entered the yard. He was slightly startled, and then walked to her side.
He came over, obviously wanting to talk to her, but he didn't speak and just stood beside her.
This made Gu Sui'er very uncomfortable. She thought about it and understood that one of the two people must speak first.
If he doesn't say it, let her do it.
"My slave has met the third master." She imitated Baoya's speech and said this.
As soon as she opened her mouth, Xiao Heng's eyes changed when he looked at her.
That familiar feeling came again, and Gu Sui'er once again felt that she had done something wrong.
As for what she did wrong, she still didn't know.
Xiao Heng saw the confusion in her eyes and knew that she didn't understand, so he finally said: "In the future, don't call yourself a slave."
Gu Sui'er didn't understand even more: "Then... what do I call myself?"
She had seen the concubine of the Marquis, but she had never seen how the concubine called her in front of the Marquis, so she didn't know what she should call herself in front of Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng's eyes moved down and landed on her belly.
Her belly was quite pointed, which didn't match her slender figure.
He suddenly remembered the feeling when he put his hand on it that day, when she was desperately trying to make the little baby inside move.
It's just that the little kid doesn't give me much face.
"The fetus in your belly is my child, the first child." Xiao Heng looked around and said it.
"Hmm." Gu Sui'er didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this, so he didn't interrupt and just nodded softly.
"The mother of my child cannot call herself a slave." Xiao Heng's voice had a strange sense of seriousness.
"Yeah." Gu Sui'er didn't understand the issue of a title. She didn't quite understand how to bring this up, so she didn't dare to say anything. She just waited patiently for him to continue.
However, Xiao Heng said nothing.
He took a step closer and raised his hand to touch her belly.
He was so tall that he had to lower his head to touch her belly. When he lowered his head, his chin was almost next to her ear.
Gu Sui'er's whole body was stiff and she didn't dare to move at all.
Whenever she moved, her ears would rub against his chin.
From her angle, she could even clearly see his strong jaw and the Adam's apple on his neck.
The male Adam's apple was unfamiliar to her. Although she was engaged to Brother Shitou, she had only spoken to him from afar since he grew up.
She had never seen a man's Adam's apple so close.
Perhaps the tadpole in his belly sensed his mother's nervousness, so he actually kicked his belly.
"Why!"
The kick came suddenly, and she was caught off guard and screamed.
Xiao Heng, who was beside her, subconsciously held her waist.
"What's wrong?" A low and cold voice came into his ears.
"No..." She shook her head slightly: "It's okay. He moved just now and kicked me."
Hearing this, Xiao Heng lowered his head and looked at her belly again.
He actually felt it.
Just when his hand was placed on her belly, there was a soft force squirming and kicking inside.
This is his child.
Xiao Heng looked at it for a long time and nodded: "Yes, he moved."
Gu Sui'er was kicked, and after slowly recovering, she glanced at Xiao Heng.
"Third Master...then, how should I call myself?"
It was a question she hadn't forgotten yet.
Xiao Heng raised his eyes and looked at her: "What do you call yourself now?"
Gu Sui'er: "Huh?"
what? What
Xiao Heng: "You should speak the same way you spoke before."
She is not his wife, just a concubine.
I want to call myself concubine, but Xiao Heng doesn’t like it.
So, just follow her call.
He doesn't care what other people think of it.
Gu Sui'er fell into deep thought, what on earth was he talking about? She didn't understand at all.
Xiao Heng looked at her thoughtful look and said calmly, "I entered the palace today, and the emperor rewarded you with something. I have sent someone to the yard. You can take a look at it when you return to the room."
Gu Sui'er wondered: "Give it to me?"
Xiao Heng: "Yes."
Gu Sui'er became even more puzzled: "Why should you reward me?"
Xiao Heng didn't bother to explain this kind of problem: "No reason."
Gu Sui'er: "I don't know the emperor, how could he give me something nice?"
Xiao Heng: "..."
He glanced at Nanny An next to him, signaled Nanny An to take good care of Gu Sui'er, and then went straight into the house.
Gu Sui'er was left trying to figure out what she had encountered.
"What Third Master actually means is that I can call myself myself. I am who I am. I don't have to say that I am a slave, right?"
Gu Sui'er figured this out with her fingers.
"But why does the emperor want to reward me with something? He doesn't know me, and I don't know him either? The third master knows the emperor. Could it be that the emperor rewarded me because of the third master? That seems to be the case."
Gu Sui'er finally figured out this fact.
After figuring out these things, Gu Sui'er suddenly felt very satisfied.
She understood that the Marquis's residence was different from their village.
She was also pregnant, and the villagers regarded the tadpoles in her belly as evil and laughed at her and pitied her, but the Marquis treated the tadpoles in her belly as a treasure and pampered and protected her.
Because of the tadpole in her belly, she received so much love in the prince's mansion that even the emperor in the palace wanted to give her something.
And Xiao Heng, he just-
Gu Sui'er recalled the feeling when he touched her belly.
A smile escaped her lips unconsciously.
He felt the tadpole kicking.
"After you give birth, you can go out with the eldest lady and walk around more, and see more of the world." Lu Qingyi suggested.
"Yes, I know." Gu Sui'er actually felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, but she still managed to endure it and said gratefully, "I will tell the old lady when I give birth."
"Things like riding horses, visiting gardens, playing the piano and composing poems when the occasion arises, these are all things we should be able to do. The old lady is a wealthy woman, born in the royal family, and she likes to play with these things in girls' homes."
But these are things Gu Sui'er doesn't know how to do.
"Then I'm afraid it won't work anymore. Recently, Third Master has been teaching me how to write and memorize some poems. I'll be satisfied if I can recognize just a few words."
Recognizing calligraphy and practicing calligraphy on rice paper every day were unthinkable to her. As for playing the piano, composing poems, and riding horses, they were too far away from her.
"Reciting poems? You also recited poems? What did you recite?" Lu Qingyi was quite interested when she heard it.
"Let me think about it... It is said to be a poem collected by the previous dynasty, and the name is "Jian Han Yao Jiuzhou"."
The poems there were really difficult to understand, so Gu Sui'er had to memorize them all in order to make progress and to make Xiao Heng like them.
"Sword Han Yao Jiuzhou?" Lu Qingyi was surprised: "Why are you carrying that?"
"... Third Master asked me to carry it."
"Our daughter's family is fine. It's so boring to carry that!"
Lu Qingyi was also speechless.
"That is a poem that people who practice martial arts in the army like. Even if they are not practicing martial arts, they are still officials. They think about serving the country every day, joining the military camp to defend the country and so on!"
To put it bluntly, it is a collection of poems about soldiers guarding the frontier.
"Yeah?"
Gu Sui'er was also surprised. She had no idea of joining the army and practicing martial arts, let alone defending her family and country. Why did she memorize some poems like this
No wonder there are knives, swords, blood bones, and loyal souls inside. It sounds scary.
"Third brother is really..." Lu Qingyi covered her face and smiled: "That's right, third brother likes those things. He teaches you and of course makes you memorize them... Don't follow him!"
"Then what should I learn?"
Lu Qingyi thought for a while: "The first one of "Collection of Flowers" and "Collection of Supplements" is about boudoir poetry, and the other is about literati's elegant talk. They are both more suitable for female beginners. I will bring it to you tomorrow, and you can carry it slowly. "
