Chapter 91
Shen Qingnian, who was sitting in the hall, paused for a moment, then asked, "What is it?"
The fact that the palace gates were closed in broad daylight clearly meant something was amiss.
Xiaoju quickly walked to her side, took out a letter from her sleeve, and said in a serious tone, "Your Highness, it's a letter from the Master."
For the past four or five months, Shen Zheng has not sent a single letter into the palace; this is the first one.
Shen Qingnian understood immediately. She was almost three months pregnant, so it was normal for Shen Zheng to send a letter. She took the letter and opened it.
Shen Zheng's calligraphy is very beautiful, not only vigorous and powerful, but also sharp and shrewd! It is evident that he has been living very well these past few months thanks to his status as a member of the imperial family.
In his letter, he first praised Shen Qingnian, and then said that he had begun to arrange things in Lincheng, starting to buy a house and servants for her and her aunt.
Finally, Shen Zheng instructed her to take good care of herself during her pregnancy and suggested that she take the opportunity to return to the Shen residence so that the father and daughter could meet and discuss the next steps.
After Shen Qingnian read the letter, she asked Xiaoju to bring over a brazier. The letter burned in the brazier and gradually turned to ashes.
"Your Highness, does the Master want you to do something?" Xiaoju asked with some concern.
In her opinion, the Crown Princess's pregnancy meant that her departure was not far off. The thought of the Crown Princess leaving with the Crown Prince and abandoning her child made her feel sad for the Crown Princess.
What mother in the world could abandon her child with a clear conscience? The Crown Princess has suffered so much...
Shen Qingnian simply said, "He told me to take advantage of the fact that my pregnancy is still in its early stages and find an opportunity to return to the Shen residence."
After she became pregnant, Song Xuan and the Emperor and Empress were very happy. Shen Zheng wanted her to take this opportunity to ask to go back to the Shen residence for a visit.
"Are you going back? You're pregnant now, and it's not very convenient for you. I don't know what the master is thinking," Xiaoju said with a hint of resentment.
The master's pressure on the Crown Princess is really going too far.
Shen Qingnian looked at the letter that had burned out in the brazier and said softly, "Since it is Father's request, I, as his daughter, will naturally obey."
She understood that many things could not be stated in the letter and that she had to go back in person.
at night.
Song Xuan returned to have dinner with Shen Qingnian. He had been very busy since his break, but he still made time to have dinner with her every day.
The table was set with all of Shen Qingnian's favorite dishes.
The man, dressed in a moon-white robe, had a gentle expression on his handsome face. He placed a slice of beef on Shen Qingnian's plate and said softly, "You're pregnant now, you should eat more."
Qing Nian was rather thin, and he was worried that she would have a difficult childbirth. Giving birth was like passing through the gates of hell, and even with the presence of imperial physicians and midwives, it was still very dangerous.
Shen Qingnian ate the beef, then looked at Song Xuan, her watery eyes flickering slightly: "I haven't returned to the manor since I entered the Eastern Palace. My mother's health has always been poor, and my father is also an outsider who cannot enter the inner palace."
I want to go back home. My father really wants to see me after he found out I'm pregnant.
After she became pregnant, Song Xuan made her change how she addressed him. In private, the two of them stopped using honorifics and instead called each other by their names.
When Song Xuan heard that she wanted to leave the palace, his gentle expression paused slightly, and then he nodded: "Then I will accompany you back to the Shen residence tomorrow."
Although he was very busy, he was worried about Qing Nian leaving the palace alone, so he could postpone the official business he was supposed to handle tomorrow.
A smile appeared on Shen Qingnian's face. She reached out and grabbed the man's large hand, clasping it together. She said, "You don't need to follow me. I know you've been busy lately. Just send more people to follow me."
My return will take a long time, and if His Majesty summons you, you'll have to rush back. I'm in good health now, and I haven't experienced the pregnancy symptoms the imperial physician mentioned, so you don't need to worry too much.”
