Chapter 128 Pregnant!
Tuoba Xi's voice was quite loud, startling the concubines who were chatting in the tent.
Everyone looked over here curiously.
Tuoba Lan was worried that something unexpected would happen, so he winked at Tuoba Xi.
Tuoba Xi then restrained his temper and glared at Li Heguang with a warning, "If you dare to embarrass my maid, I will not forgive you!"
Shen Chaoyan sat close to the door of the tent, and deliberately raised her voice, "Princess Xi is so good to her maid, your relationship is so enviable!"
Tuoba Xi and Tuoba Lan had something to hide, and when they heard her say that, they felt that she was saying something else.
Tuoba Xi was so angry that he wanted to retort to Shen Chaoyan, but Tuoba Lan spoke first, "Princess, I'll be waiting outside. If you need anything, just call me anytime."
"Don't worry, we are all very nice people. No one will bully your princess." Shen Chaoyan said, looking at Tuoba Xi who was standing at the door and took a long time to come in, with a smile on her lips, and a hint of provocation in her joking tone, "In the past, in the palace, I often heard people say that Princess Xi of China was talented and courageous. Now it seems that the rumors are really not credible."
Xue Youran also echoed, "Yes, it seems that Princess Xi can't leave her personal maid!"
"Princess Xi, looking like this, reminds me of Sister Huifei's three-year-old daughter."
Tuoba Xi immediately raised her chin proudly, "Huh! What are you women to be afraid of? This princess is not afraid!"
Once a concubine of Daxia enters the palace, she can only live in the small harem for the rest of her life.
Unlike their China, women can also ride horses, shoot arrows, and lead troops to fight!
And these women, besides putting on makeup to please men, what else can they do?
Thinking of this, she raised her nostrils high and walked into the tent arrogantly.
Tuoba Lan glanced at the women sitting in front of the screen and laughing in the tent, and silently retreated outside the tent.
In his opinion, these women only saw Tuoba Xi because they were worried that Tuoba Xi would threaten their status after entering the palace.
Therefore, a group of them gathered together, wanting to give Tuoba Xi a head start in advance.
But they didn't know that Tuoba Xi was skilled in martial arts, and these women who could only hold embroidery needles might have miscalculated!
The curtain of the tent fell, and before Tuoba Lan could stand still, a group of little palace maids pulled him to another tent.
"Sister, you smell so good! Come with us to have tea! Let's not disturb the ladies and Princess Xi from improving their relationship!"
These little palace maids were difficult to get along with, and Tuoba Lan couldn't force them to get rid of them.
He could only let them pull him away.
In the tent, Shen Chaoyan pulled Tuoba Xi to play games.
At first, Tuoba Xi was on guard against everyone, but as she played, she felt that she seemed to have gotten familiar with everyone.
"Come again! Isn't it just a quiver? This time, let's go big!"
Shen Chaoyan saw that she was fooled, and immediately changed to a quiver with a smaller mouth, "Okay, this time the loser must cover his eyes and cannot move for a quarter of an hour! And the winner can do whatever he wants! What do you think? Do you dare?"
Tuoba Xi had just competed with these concubines for five times, and only lost two games, so she was naturally not afraid.
"Okay, what is there for this princess to be afraid of?"
She rolled up her sleeves and shouted, "Come on! Who are you going to send to the stage?"
Xue Youran stood up from her seat, "I'll do it."
Several of her uncles died under the swords of the Chinese. No matter who it was for, she wanted to compete with this Chinese princess.
Tuoba Xi didn't take her seriously, "Okay, I'll go first."
He said, pulling out an arrow and throwing it at the quiver.
Even though the mouth of the quiver was half as small as before, Tuoba Xi still hit the target in one try.
At this time, she glanced at Xue Youran proudly, "
Do you want to compete again?" "Of course." Xue Youran walked to her side and also picked up an arrow, "If I hit the target, who will win?"
Tuoba Xi replied arrogantly, "If you can hit the target, you win!"
After playing with them for so long, she probably knew how powerful these concubines were.
"That's so unfair." Xue Youran thought for a moment and spoke again, "Just now we both threw the arrow with our right hands. Now let's switch to the left hand. Whoever can hit the target wins. How about that?"
"Okay, no questions..."
Before Tuoba Xi finished the last word of 'question', Xue Youran raised her left hand and right hand one after another and threw the two arrows in her hands out respectively.
After the two arrows drew a perfect arc in the air, they fell steadily into the arrow pot.
The concubines next to her saw this scene and applauded, "Ms. Xue is so amazing!"
Shen Chaoyan gave Xue Youran a thumbs up, then turned to Tuoba Xi and said, "Princess Xi, please."
If Tuoba Xi threw the arrow normally, she might not be able to hit the target.
However, Xue Youran's ease in throwing arrows still caused her a certain psychological burden.
In addition, her left hand was not as flexible as her right hand. After the arrow was thrown, it only hit the mouth of the quiver and bounced out.
"Win, win! Lady Xue wins!"
Although the concubines usually have some minor conflicts and frictions in the harem, they are still very united when facing foreign envoys. Tuoba
Xi looked at the arrow that was thrown off target, turned his head and said to Xue Youran, "I admit defeat and I accept the punishment."
Shen Chaoyan immediately stepped forward and blindfolded Tuoba Xi with a cloth strip, "Princess Xi, please stretch out your two hands."
Tuoba Xi couldn't see, and didn't know what she was trying to do, but she still put her hands on the table beside her as she said.
Shen Chaoyan immediately asked the person standing behind the screen to come out.
The concubines present were also surprised when they saw Zhong Shiwen coming out from behind the screen.
No one thought that Shen Chaoyan actually hid someone behind the screen.
However, they all tacitly kept silent.
Everyone stood quietly in a row, waiting to see what Shen Chaoyan would do.
In fact, when Shen Chaoyan found him today, Zhong Shiwen was also confused.
However, Sikong Yan asked him to follow Shen Chaoyan's arrangements.
Since the emperor had spoken, he naturally did as he was told.
He sat behind the screen for half an hour.
At this time, Zhong Shiwen walked up to Tuoba Xi, and Shen Chaoyan motioned him to check Tuoba Xi's pulse.
Shen Chaoyan herself walked around to Tuoba Xi's left hand, grabbed her left hand, stared at her palm for a few seconds, "Princess Xi, I can read palms, why don't I help you take a look. I think you have good luck with your children and grandchildren!"
While she was talking to divert Tuoba Xi's attention, Zhong Shiwen's fingers had already touched the pulse of Tuoba Xi's right wrist.
But after a moment, Zhong Shiwen's expression suddenly changed.
This, this Chinese princess is pregnant!
When Zhong Shiwen looked up at Shen Chaoyan, he saw that she understood everything and immediately realized why the emperor wanted him to check Tuoba Xi's pulse.
The next moment, he said to Tuoba Xi in a surprised tone, "Congratulations, Princess Xi! You are already more than a month pregnant!"
