Chapter 51: I saw a plump radish among a bunch of slender cabbages
The news of Yan Shixu's return to Beijing quickly spread in the palace.
The three Fengyi in Yaohua Palace naturally knew about it.
Wen Li'er was very happy as long as he returned safely.
Not long after, two eunuchs brought in a box of things, saying that they were some things that His Highness had bought from other places, and all three of them had them.
Wen Li'er looked at the box with sparkling eyes. Nanny Qin stepped forward and rewarded the two eunuchs with an ingot of silver.
After everyone left, Nanny Qin asked Wan'an Wanquan to carry the box to Wen Li'er.
Wen Li'er's belly has been more than six months old, making it very inconvenient for her to move, especially bending over and squatting, which are both difficult.
Nanny Qin then arranged for Qingzhu and Qingmei to pick up the items in the box one by one and hand them to Wen Li'er for her to review.
Silks, jewellery, playthings, and special foods from Fuzhou and Jizhou.
What is most surprising is that there are actually a few dried pig's trotters.
Wen Lier: "..."
She felt that she could not get over the hurdle of pig's trotters no matter what.
Everyone tried to hold back their laughter.
The prince really holds his master in his heart. Even when he goes out to provide disaster relief, he still thinks about his master's preferences.
Wen Li'er also felt a little sweet in her heart, so she immediately asked someone to take a pig's trotter to the kitchen and asked Chef Li to cook it, and then she ordered a few other dishes.
After dinner was ready, Wen Li'er picked up her chopsticks and started to eat.
Nanny Qin stopped the person.
"Master, please wait a little longer. Perhaps His Highness will come over to have dinner with you."
Wen Li'er looked at Nanny Qin with a look as if she had seen a ghost.
"Mammy, what are you thinking about? His Highness is back for the first day today, so naturally he has to go to Fuyao Palace to accompany the Crown Princess."
Nanny Qin thought about it and could only touch her nose awkwardly and step aside.
Wen Li'er was busy gnawing on the pig's trotter.
Chef Li’s cooking skills are really good.
The skin of the pig's trotter is delicate, like the chubby little face of a fat baby, and it breaks into pieces with a light bite.
As soon as Wen Lier took a bite, she felt the pig's trotter in her mouth was soft, glutinous and elastic, with tender meat that melted in her mouth.
She ate the entire plate of cured pig's trotters at an extremely fast speed, leaving not a single piece behind.
The people serving in the East Hall had already seen how much she ate after she became pregnant, and they continued to serve her without changing their expressions.
Nanny Qin also personally prepared a few other dishes for Wen Lier.
Qingzhu handed over the milk that Li Yuchu had removed the mutton smell with a special method, and Qingmei brought over the bird's nest.
After Wen Li'er ate until her belly was full, she burped with satisfaction.
She actually felt that she ate too much, but she quickly blamed everything on her stomach.
It’s not her who can eat it, it’s the baby in her belly who can eat it!
After eating, Wen Li'er, surrounded by several palace maids, walked slowly in the yard for half an hour.
After returning to the hall, he fell asleep.
…
Fuyao Palace.
Yan Shixu just mentioned Wen Lier.
"How has Wen Fengyi's pregnancy been these past few months?"
Xie Zhenrong felt a little unhappy in her heart.
The couple had been separated for many months, and His Highness came to accompany her, so why did he ask about Wen Li'er first?
But she was worried about making him angry again, so she could only suppress her temper and smile, "It's fine. He can eat and sleep well. Court Judge He said the child is healthy. Except..."
"Except what?" A hint of anxiety flashed through Yan Shixu's mind.
"Wen Fengyi eats too much and is a bit fat. I'm afraid she'll suffer during childbirth."
Fat? Yan Shixu raised an eyebrow.
Xie Zhenrong also thought of Wen Li'er's current appearance and tried hard to suppress the gloating in his heart.
Wen Fengyi had such a good figure back then, he was thin where he should be thin, and plump where he should be plump.
But now, at first glance, it has become a big pancake...
Seeing her pretending to be regretful, Yan Shixu became more and more curious about what Wen Li'er looked like now.
He stood up and said to Xie Zhenrong, "I'm going to Yaohua Palace to see the child and will be back later."
Xie Zhenrong's expression froze, and even after hearing his next words, his expression did not warm up at all.
"Your Highness, please go. I will wait here for your return."
As she said this, the nails on her palms dug deep into the flesh.
After everyone left, Xie Zhenrong grabbed the teacup in front of him and was about to smash it to the ground.
Matron Zhuang quickly grabbed the teacup.
"Crown Princess, what are you doing?!"
Xie Zhenrong said angrily, "Nurse, look at His Highness. He rushed to see Wen Li'er the moment he came back! If it weren't for the pressure of my status, he might have gone there the moment he left Cining Palace!"
Matron Zhuang sighed and said seriously, "Crown Princess, the more this happens, the more you must demonstrate your magnanimity. Let His Highness see that you are broad-minded and tolerant, so that he will remember your kindness. Furthermore, Wen Fengyi is pregnant now, and Your Highness has been away from the palace for several months. It is only natural that she is eager to see her child."
Xie Zhenrong's expression changed several times, and it could be seen from her fiery eyes that she didn't feel anything at all.
How could the prince's hurried footsteps look like he was going to see an unborn child?
She also wanted to be generous, but she couldn't tolerate His Highness being attracted to another woman!
But soon, she figured something out for herself, and smiled:
"Why am I so anxious? Before, Wen Li'er was able to charm His Highness because she was pretty. But now, His Highness might not be able to swallow that greasy mess of hers."
The corners of Madam Zhuang's mouth twitched slightly. She thought her own Crown Princess really didn't understand men at all.
Not all men like thin beauties.
Wen Fengyi is a little fat now, but not ugly at all. He is white, tender and round, just like a crispy and delicious white radish.
Who wouldn’t want to see a plump radish among a bunch of slender cabbages?
Who knows, His Highness might like that...
Of course, Madam Zhuang did not express her concerns out loud, otherwise, the Crown Princess would have gone crazy.
When Yan Shixu arrived at Yaohua Palace, Nanny Qin was startled.
Why is Your Highness here?
Didn’t the master swear before that the Crown Prince would definitely go to Fuyao Palace to accompany the Crown Princess today?
She stammered and gave instructions to Qingmei and Qingzhu who were standing beside her.
"You two...go wake up Feng Yi!"
"etc."
Yan Shixu stopped the man and frowned.
"Your master is asleep?"
Qingmei Qingzhu stopped and lowered his head, not daring to answer.
Nanny Qin opened her mouth, wanting to say that pregnant women tend to feel sleepy.
But before she could open her mouth, she saw the prince storming off to his bedroom.
Yan Shixu was indeed a little angry. Wen Fengyi really didn't care about him at all!
Even though he had made the Crown Princess unhappy today, he still came to see her because he thought she would be waiting for him in the palace.
If you are pregnant, don't overwork yourself.
As a result, this heartless guy was already fast asleep in bed, so how could he wait for him?
Seeing that Nanny Qin and the others had followed, he waved his hand and asked them to leave.
Crunch...
Yan Shixu's movement in pushing the door was not small at all.
Even when he stood beside the bed, Wen Li'er still knew nothing.
