It was dark outside, and the candles in the house were lit. Xiao Zheng'er was taken away by his mother, and they were the only ones left. Feng Lingxiao looked at his prince and asked, "Is everything okay in the mansion during the time I was away?"
"My lord, everything is fine in the mansion." Liang Baojun replied.
"Thank you for your hard work." Feng Lingxiao said, "You are not in good health, so you can leave the affairs of the mansion to the people below. You don't have to do everything yourself."
"I understand." Liang Xijun smiled when she heard the prince's concern, but the baby in her belly kicked him, and the smile on his face paused. Noticing that the person sitting in front of him was not feeling well, Feng Lingxiao asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I'll ask someone to invite the imperial physician to come over."
"My Lord, I'm fine. It's the child in my belly who was naughty and kicked my belly." Liang Baojun reached out and held down the Lord who was about to get up. He showed shame on his face, grabbed the Lord's hand and placed it on his belly. The child in his belly was still moving. He said, "My Lord, look, it's the child who knows his father is back and is happy."
Feng Lingxiao's hand was grabbed and placed on his Lord's belly. He felt the bulge under his palm. This was the first time he felt the existence of this child. He raised his head and met his Lord's smiling face, looking at him tenderly. There was a moment of trance on his face.
"Prince, Prince..." Liang Baojun noticed the expression on Prince's face. The smile on his lips slowly disappeared. He asked with some uneasiness in his heart, "Prince, what's wrong with you?" Don't you like our child? He kept this sentence in his mouth and didn't ask it out loud. He felt scared for no reason in his heart.
This was the first time he and Prince sat together so intimately since she became pregnant. He still remembered the joy he felt when the baby in his belly kicked him for the first time. At that time, he especially wanted to find someone to share this joy with him. However, every time he finally waited for Prince to come back, he either went to bed long ago or went to the study to be busy as soon as he came back. He didn't even have the opportunity to sit and talk with Prince like this.
This time, Prince was gone for such a long time, and he finally waited for him to come back. There were not only Liang Baojun but also other people in this mansion. He patiently waited until everyone left, and then he and the prince were alone.
"Nothing, I just..." Feng Lingxiao's hand on his prince's belly moved. He could feel that there was a life with the same blood as him inside. This was his eldest son and the future master of the Yiwang Mansion.
If he sat on that position one day, this child would be the future emperor of Feng Dynasty.
Feng Lingxiao's expression was very complicated. Through the belly, he seemed to be able to touch the child inside.
"Will it be uncomfortable?" Feng Lingxiao asked with curiosity in his eyes.
"No, it won't." As if he could feel the warmth of the palm of the hand on his belly, Liang Xijun shook his head with a faint smile on his lips.
In fact, the baby in the belly was kicking him, which made him feel very uncomfortable. The baby in the belly was very active and often kicked him, which made him feel that there was a boy inside, and it would be their prince's eldest son.
As soon as Feng Lingxiao saw it, he knew that his prince was lying. He withdrew his hand and asked, "How is your body these days?"
"My lord, my body has always been very good, so you don't have to worry." Liang Baojun had a gentle smile on her face and said with a smile.
"Tomorrow this king will let the imperial physician come to see you." Liang Xijun suddenly had something in his heart that shouldn't be there, but he quickly suppressed it and said it with a normal expression.
"Your Highness, there is no need to bother. I am in good health. You don't need to bother the imperial physician." Liang Xijun was very happy to see that their prince cared about him. However, he had doctors to take care of him, so he didn't need to bother the imperial physician.
"I will feel relieved if you take a look." Feng Lingxiao said to his prince.
"Okay, okay, thank you, prince." Liang Xijun knew he couldn't refuse.
Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Feng Lingxiao asked someone to send his prince back to the courtyard where he lived, but he didn't go there either. Liang Baojun knew that their prince had just returned at this time, and he must have a lot of things to do, so he led his people away. Before leaving, he also reminded their prince not to be too tired, and then left. After
seeing the people leave, Feng Lingxiao turned around and went to the study. The guards outside the yard were guarding.
The old maid who was kneeling outside had entered the mansion at some point and was kneeling in their princess' room. Without the master's permission, he did not dare to get up. Seeing the master coming back, he hurriedly kowtowed and admitted his mistake, "Princess, it is my fault, please punish me."
Liang Baojun returned to his room and sat on the first seat with the help of his attendants. Looking at the old slave kneeling below, his face was not very good. What he hated most was punishing people, especially since these slaves were old slaves in the prime minister's mansion and served his mother.
What happened today made him lose face in front of the prince and everyone in the mansion. He couldn't discipline his servants, so how could he manage the huge Yiwang Mansion? This made him feel ashamed in front of the prince.
"Do you know where you went wrong in today's incident?" Liang Xijun looked down at the old slaves kneeling below. He thought that it was because he was too indulgent to these old slaves on weekdays, which made them lawless in front of the prince. "
I shouldn't have said something wrong in front of the prince." The old slave fell to the ground and said.
"Li Mom, I think you still don't understand where you went wrong. Considering that you have served my mother for many years, I will not punish you for what happened today. You should go back to the Prime Minister's Residence tomorrow, to my mother." Liang Xijun waved his hand and let the man go. He didn't want to see this old slave again.
The old slave kneeling on the ground was stunned, opened his mouth wide, and waited for his reaction to beg for mercy.
The two guards in the room stepped forward, and pulled the old slave kneeling on the ground out from the left and right.
"Princess, please let this old slave stay. You can punish me however you want, but don't drive me away..." He knew that if he returned to the Prime Minister's Residence, he would be beaten to death. Thinking of their wife's methods, Li Mom begged for mercy.
The guards on the left and right pulled the man out, and the sound spread farther and farther.
Liang Xijun, who was in the house, looked around at the servants here. Many of them were sent by his mother. He said with a cold face, "I won't say much. I just want you to remember one thing. In the Yiwang Mansion, the prince is the master of this mansion!"
Don't end up not knowing who the master is!
"Several of you are old servants who have served my mother for many years. If you make a mistake here, I will not punish you. I will send you back to the Xiangfu to be dealt with by my mother!"
Liang Xijun knew how his mother dealt with the servants. He was raised by his mother and knew everything in the inner house. He didn't take action, not because he didn't understand, but because he didn't like it. If he really made him unhappy, he had plenty of ways to deal with these disobedient servants.
"Yes, I understand!" The servants who were kneeling on the floor in the room said one after another.
The good mood was gone when he returned to this room and faced these servants. Liang Baojun waved his hand in annoyance and asked everyone to leave.
Yuxin, who had gone out, came back and whispered something in their princess's ear.
Liang Baojun pondered for a moment and said, "Yulan, ask the housekeeper to arrange for Concubine Zhou to serve the prince tonight. Just say that it was my order."
As the prince's legitimate wife, he is not in good health now. He is also obliged to let the other beauties in this mansion serve their prince and fulfill his duty as a princess. Otherwise, he will be known as jealous. Although Liang Xijun doesn't like their prince to touch the other beauties serving the prince in the backyard.
Liang Xijun thought that if he remembered correctly, since he entered the palace for such a long time, their prince had not set foot in the backyard except for going to Zhen Cejun, let alone favoring the other beauties in the backyard. Since the beauties in this courtyard are all serving the prince, there is no reason for the prince to only go to Zhen Cejun. As the legitimate prince, he naturally has to arrange some opportunities for others.
He felt uneasy in his heart for no reason. Some things still need to be confirmed in person before he can feel at ease and not be suspicious all day long. If there is nothing, just do it well. If there is, he, as the princess of the Yiwang Mansion, will not be so stingy!
As for this Concubine Zhou, it is said that she was given to their prince by the emperor. She usually relies on the fact that she came to the Yiwang Mansion by imperial order, and boasts of her "noble status" to stir up trouble in the Yiwang Mansion. Why not let him go with the flow and do a favor and give him an "opportunity"!
"Yes, I'll go now." Yulan was a little confused in her heart why their princess chose Concubine Zhou when she was not picky about anyone, but their princess always had her reasons for doing things, so he just had to obey her orders.
After receiving the words from the attendant beside their princess, the butler was still a little stunned, because there had never been such a thing in the Yiwang Mansion. Their prince could go wherever he wanted, and no one would ever arrange who to serve him. However, he did not forget the other party's identity. This was the princess in the palace, the legitimate husband of their prince. He could naturally arrange other concubines to serve their prince on the grounds that he was unable to serve due to physical inconvenience.
"Yes, please go and tell the princess, I will arrange it now." The housekeeper asked the messenger to tell the princess that he would arrange for Concubine Zhou to serve the prince tonight.
After getting the response, Yulan went back to report to their princess.
Then the housekeeper was afraid that this matter might displease their prince, but since it was the princess's intention, he could not refuse it. Anyway, he would arrange for the person to go to the prince's room first. If the prince was unhappy, he could just drive the person out, so he sent someone to inform Concubine Zhou.
Concubine Zhou, who had received the message, asked him to serve the princess tonight. Concubine Zhou was stunned for a moment, and almost jumped up with joy. She put on airs and allowed the servant who delivered the message to admire her with dignity. She closed the door and said anxiously, "Quick, quick, quick, dress up for me."
The concubines in the courtyard next to the king could only watch Concubine Zhou dressed up and walked towards the prince. They closed the door of the courtyard angrily, and didn't want to see it.
