An hour later, Chu Jinghuai, wearing armor, led 20,000 soldiers and horses, galloping their horses in the flying snow.
Chen Jingxi did not go out to see them off. It was not because she did not want to go, but because she really did not have the energy, and she was also rejected.
"No need to see me off. It's snowing hard outside. If you keep doing this, it will be a waste of my hard work." Chu Jinghuai's voice was tinged with teasing.
Chen Jingxi's cheeks flushed instantly, and she pinched his waist lightly a few times, pretending to be angry.
Chu Jinghuai put on his clothes with a smile and walked to the door, but suddenly stopped, as if he remembered something, and turned back, "You are not allowed to meet people you shouldn't meet."
Chen Jingxi poked her little head out from under the quilt, smiled faintly and nodded.
Chu Jinghuai smiled with satisfaction and reached out to gently ruffle her hair. "Wait for me to come back."
"Uh-huh."
As soon as Chu Jinghuai left, Chen Jingxi asked Manager Wu to close the door and refuse visitors, and announced to the public that during the period when Prince Su was away from the capital, Prince Su's mansion would not see guests and Princess Su would not accept any invitations.
The news spread quickly. When the emperor in the palace heard about it, he couldn't help but laugh, "She is smart. She knows that her life will not be easy after Prince Su leaves."
However, closing the door to visitors can only stop you for a while, but not forever.
Moreover, not everyone can stop her. For example, if someone in the palace wants to see her, what can she do?
Seeing the emperor's cheerful mood, Jiang Hai quickly agreed, "Your Majesty is right. Princess Su is so ignorant of the current situation. I'm afraid she will be punished."
The emperor's face instantly darkened. He felt so angry when he thought of how Chen Jingxi had played tricks on him.
"She deserves to be punished, so she doesn't become ignorant of her own limitations. If she had been as obedient as before, I might have spared her life, but she chose to lose my face and was solely focused on Prince Su. Don't blame me for being ruthless then."
At this point, a hint of murderous intent flashed in the emperor's eyes, which made Jiang Hai feel a chill down his spine.
At this time, a eunuch hurried in and reported: "Your Majesty, Consort Wen is here."
The emperor nodded slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Let her in."
The eunuch withdrew in response, and soon Wen Yuzhi walked in gracefully, followed by a palace maid holding an exquisite food box.
She stepped forward and bowed gracefully, her voice as soft as silk: "Your Majesty."
The emperor looked at the face that was 80% similar to that of Concubine Chen, and his mood instantly improved.
He beckoned Wen Yuzhi to sit down beside him, and after she was seated, the emperor held her hand and asked with concern, "My beloved, it's so cold, why did you come in person?"
"I heard that Your Majesty has had a poor appetite recently, so I made lotus seed soup myself and wanted to invite Your Majesty to try it."
The emperor patted the back of Wen Yuzhi's hand and said, "My beloved concubine is so thoughtful."
Wen Yuzhi lowered her head slightly and said softly, "I only hope that the emperor will be healthy and watch my child grow up."
Hearing this, the emperor immediately smiled happily: "You are pregnant?"
Wen Yuzhi smiled brightly, "It's been more than three months."
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"I am afraid that Your Majesty will be overjoyed, so I thought I would wait until the pregnancy is stable before telling Your Majesty."
The emperor ordered, "Jiang Hai, go tell the food department that Zhaoyi's meals must be carefully prepared from now on. There can't be any mistakes."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Jiang Hai responded respectfully.
"The Clothing Bureau has just received a batch of high-quality Shu brocade. Ask them to select some of the best ones and send them to Yongchun Palace."
Upon hearing this, Wen Yuzhi quickly said, "Your Majesty, this Shu brocade is so precious. My belly is getting bigger and bigger, and I'm afraid I won't be able to wear it in a few days. It's better to leave it to the sisters in the palace. They will definitely be able to wear it more gracefully."
The emperor held Wen Yuzhi's hand and said, "You are such a person, always thinking of others. Well, since you say so, I won't give you the Shu brocade for now. However, I remember hunting a pure white fox last year. Its fur is extremely rare. I will have someone make you a fur coat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
——
Staying in the palace all day, and with Chu Jinghuai suddenly not in the capital, Chen Jingxi seemed a little lonely and bored, lying in bed all day long.
Outside, several maids couldn't help but feel worried when they saw her looking so listless.
"As soon as the prince left, the princess lost her appetite. I sent in a plate of pork elbow just now, but the princess didn't eat it."
"Yes, the princess usually has a good appetite. She can eat two bowls of rice, two chicken legs, and a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs..."
Chunmei found it funny. Which princess has such a big appetite?
She shook her head and walked lightly into the room, carrying a plate of milk and water chestnut flour cakes. She immediately saw Chen Jingxi lying on the bed, holding a letter in her hand, smiling in disbelief.
"Princess, is this a letter from the prince?"
Chen Jingxi shook her head slightly, the smile on her face growing wider. "It's not from the prince, it's from Lu Ting'an. He said there's something very interesting and asked me to go play with him."
Chunmei frowned slightly when she heard this, "Princess, are you going?"
Chen Jingxi nodded.
Chunmei hurriedly tried to dissuade him, "Princess, didn't you promise the prince that you wouldn't go out during this period?"
"We are all friends. Since Lu Ting'an has sincerely invited me, how can I not go?" As she said this, she stood up and prepared to change her clothes and go out.
Chen Jingxi changed her clothes, but Chunmei still tried to stop her, "Princess, the prince will be angry if he finds out."
Chen Jingxi didn't take it seriously. "Don't worry, I'll be back soon. Besides, I'm just going out for a walk, nothing else."
After saying that, she took Han Yu out.
