Chapter 327
When Shen Qingnian saw him come up, her eyes immediately lit up: "Your Majesty's arrival is so timely, we were just about to have something to eat."
"I also brought some food," Song Xuan said, handing the food box to Xiao Ju.
When little Shenxi saw her father arrive, she quickly said sweetly, "Daddy, this water chestnut and osmanthus soup is so delicious, Daddy, please try some too!"
Song Xuan's expression softened. He looked at the food laid out on the small table and said, "Then thank you very much, Xiao Xi."
A moment later.
The food from Song Xuan's food box was placed on a small table. He held little Shen Xi in his arms and sat around the table with Shen Qingnian and little Yan Qing.
When Liu Yurou saw him arrive, she instinctively wanted to move to the other side of the cushion, but he stopped her: "You are Qingnian's mother, and according to seniority, you are also my in-laws, so let's have a meal together."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Liu Yurou said, somewhat nervously.
In the past, if Song Xuan were present, she would carefully avoid him; it was an instinctive reaction for her, given her humble origins.
Inside the carriage, the family was enjoying a harmonious time together. The food on the table, though not exquisite, was still delicious.
While feeding Xiao Shenxi sweet soup, Song Xuan instructed Xia Zi to order the team to stop and rest, and to prepare some food before continuing their journey.
Xiazi accepted the order and went down. The carriage procession quickly stopped, and the accompanying soldiers set up camp on the spot.
Shen Qingnian raised her hand and lifted the curtain of the car window. She looked outside and saw that they were already in the outskirts of Beijing. The surrounding area was dense forest, and the yellowing leaves had fallen to the ground, forming a thin layer.
The accompanying soldiers had already started a fire, and Shen Zheng rode his horse, leading a group of soldiers into the depths of the forest.
"There will be barbecue later, so don't eat too much now," Song Xuan said to Shen Qingnian in a deep voice.
Shen Zheng led a group to hunt birds and animals.
"Wow, will there be roasted pheasant and rabbit?" Little Shenxi's mouth watered when she heard about the roasted meat, and she suddenly found the sweet soup and pastries less appealing.
Xiao Yanqing's eyes were also full of anticipation.
Although I have eaten roasted meat in the palace before, it is far from comparable to eating it outside.
“There will be pheasants and rabbits,” Song Xuan said, patting the heads of the two little ones with his big hands.
Xiao Yanqing and Xiao Shenxi cheered.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingnian smiled, but she kept her gaze fixed on the view outside the window.
Then she saw a woman wearing a veil and dressed in luxurious clothes being helped by a maid to walk outside. The noblewoman was holding her chest with her hand, and the maid was helping her walk very slowly. Her lower abdomen was slightly swollen, and she looked like she was pregnant.
“It’s the Crown Prince’s wife, Wang Jiarong,” Shen Qingnian recognized the noblewoman.
Wang Jiarong looks to be three or four months pregnant, and she appears to be suffering from motion sickness.
“It’s her,” Song Xuan glanced at her and said calmly.
Shen Qingnian lowered her hand from behind the curtain and then instructed Xiaoju: "Send some of my motion sickness medicine to the Crown Prince's wife, and also send some fruits. Remember to have Zhu Lan deliver them; you must not go."
The motion sickness medicine was prescribed by a renowned physician, and I prepared a large quantity before leaving the palace.
Xiaoju responded softly and then stepped out of the carriage.
Song Xuan was somewhat dissatisfied: "The Crown Prince's wife is being taken care of by Ye Lingzhou, you just need to take good care of yourself."
Instead of giving gifts to Wang Jiarong, it's better to give them to him!
Shen Qingnian was speechless for a moment, then she couldn't help but glare at the man: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
This person is truly jealous of everything.
Liu Yurou, who was standing nearby, overheard Shen Qingnian and Song Xuan's conversation and felt a little puzzled: His Majesty seems to dislike the Crown Prince's wife...
