After getting the mutton-fat jade, Situ Yao felt that the cloud was pure white, without a single flaw or color, and the whole thing was snow-white, just like cow's milk.
"Your Excellency is too polite. This mutton-fat jade is the most nourishing. How could I despise such good jade?" Situ Yao said politely.
After the envoys from the Western Regions left the palace, Situ Yao thought that this mutton-fat jade was nourishing, and now that Su Mengyan was pregnant, this jade would be the perfect gift to Su Mengyan.
Thinking of this, Situ Yao smiled slightly and immediately took the mutton-fat jade to find Su Mengyan.
"Yan'er, this jade is for you." Situ Yao took out the mutton-fat jade and told Su Mengyan about the health benefits of mutton-fat jade.
Sure enough, Su Mengyan couldn't let go of the jade after hearing this. However, because she was pregnant and couldn't sit for long, Su Mengyan wanted to go out for a walk.
It just so happened that Situ Yao hadn't accompanied Su Mengyan for a walk for a long time. This time he got the chance, and since he had nothing to do, he followed Su Mengyan.
The two of them came to the lotus pond. Looking at the lotus flowers, they were in a good mood and started walking around. After walking for a while, Su Mengyan started to say that she was tired.
Helplessly, the two of them went to a pavilion to rest.
"You, it was you who said you wanted to go out for a walk, and you came out just now, and it was you who said you were tired." Situ Yao teased Su Mengyan with a doting look.
Su Mengyan didn't feel embarrassed at all. She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, what do you know? A pregnant woman will get tired easily."
The two of them were talking and laughing, and for a moment, the pavilion was filled with laughter. Suddenly, Su Mengyan cried out, which scared Situ Yao.
"Yan'er, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Situ Yao looked at Su Mengyan nervously. She was pregnant, so could something have happened to her when she suddenly cried out "ouch"?
Who would have thought that Su Mengyan would just smile slightly: "It's okay, Your Majesty, this child is just being naughty and just kicked me."
What? Situ Yao was shocked, Situ Yao was confused, Situ Yao was at a loss.
What did Su Mengyan say just now? Did the child kick her?
"The baby is moving? Let me feel it." Finally, Situ Yao reacted and was very surprised. He placed his big palm on Su Mengyan's bulging belly and carefully felt the baby's movements.
"It's moving, Yan'er, I felt it, the child kicked me." Situ Yao felt something on his hand, which made him realize that it was the child moving. He couldn't help but excitedly said to Su Mengyan.
Seeing Situ Yao like this, who looked just like a little child, Su Mengyan couldn't help but tease him, "Come on, if you tell others about your appearance, who would believe you are the king of a country? You look just like a little child."
In the evening, after the two of them had dinner, Su Mengyan remembered the matter of the Prime Minister. She knew that this time Situ Yao had captured the Prime Minister, it must not be such a simple matter.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you have arrested the Prime Minister. I wonder how you plan to deal with him." Su Mengyan asked.
She was somewhat curious about how Situ Yao planned to deal with the Prime Minister. After all, the Prime Minister was like a large tree, with entangled roots in the court and considerable influence. It was not so easy to eliminate him.
Situ Yao sighed. He also wanted to attack the Prime Minister directly, but the Prime Minister was not so easy to deal with.
Did he let the Prime Minister go today because he was really moved by Lin Xiangru's filial piety? No, he arrested the Prime Minister just to give him a warning, to let him know that he was not someone he could control. Now that his goal had been achieved, he naturally couldn't go too far.
Many things cannot be done the way you want, even if he is the king of a country. Moreover, the things that a king of a country has to take into account are far more than those that the head of a family has to take into account.
As the head of a family, you only need to ensure fairness and justice in your own family. However, as the king of a country, you must not only try your best to maintain peace in the country, but also maintain justice. However, things are not that simple.
The Prime Minister's power was almost as great as his as the ruler of a country, so he tried his best to get rid of this parasite of the Prime Minister.
"Yan'er, we still need to make further plans regarding the Prime Minister's matter. We can't take action against him right now." Situ Yao said.
The prime minister's power is too great, like an ancient tree. If you want to uproot this tree without hurting others, you must first cut off its branches and leaves. What the emperor has to do now is to uproot the prime minister's power first.
How could a tree with lush branches and leaves be cleared away overnight? Therefore, Situ Yao did not dare to take action against the Prime Minister until all the branches and leaves were completely cleared away.
All he could do was try his best to prevent the Prime Minister's power from growing, and then do his utmost to suppress his strength.
Ever since he felt the baby in Su Mengyan's belly moving, Situ Yao has been very happy. He often comes to see Su Mengyan from time to time during this period, under the pretext of communicating with the child.
Su Mengyan couldn't help laughing. The baby was still in her belly, so how could she communicate with him? Although she also knew that the baby in her belly already had ears and could feel every move of the outside world, she still wanted to laugh when she saw Situ Yao's appearance.
However, she did not know that pregnant women from other families hoped that their husbands would be with them more often when they were pregnant, so that they would not have more sisters without paying attention.
On this day, after the morning court session, Situ Yao dealt with some memorials first, and then when he felt there was nothing else to do, he went to Su Mengyan.
Unexpectedly, not only he came today, Chu Meng was also here with Yu Xiang. Usually, Chu Meng also came here often, but she had never met Situ Yao.
This time, Chu Meng and Yu Xiang weren't here to chat. They'd been bored for a while, so they'd been thinking about learning opera. Although opera singers held a lowly status, they weren't ladies from wealthy families, so naturally, they had no prejudice against opera.
So, after studying for a while, they felt that they had learned enough and thought of coming to Su Mengyan to sing for her.
In modern times, opera is the quintessence of the Chinese nation. Therefore, as a modern person, Su Mengyan not only has no prejudice against opera, but instead feels that the life of an actor is really not easy.
Living in an era of low status is also their misfortune. Chu Meng and the other two also owe some credit to Su Mengyan for learning opera, because Su Mengyan feels that actors have a hard time and should not be looked down upon but valued. Therefore, Chu Meng and the other two went from having no good feelings towards actors to gradually understanding and even learning from them.
