Bai Susu has moved and is pregnant, so logically all the concubines in the palace should send gifts or come to congratulate her in person.
But Yanfu Palace was surprisingly quiet. Bai Susu knew that Emperor Xuan Jing made such arrangements because he was too cautious and didn't want others to disturb her.
Thinking of the thousand-year-old ginseng sent by the Queen, Bai Susu sighed. Although it was a good thing, she probably wouldn't eat it, so she could only keep it in the warehouse.
Nanchun and the others were still immersed in the fear and joy of their master's pregnancy, and they were very cautious in everything they did, as if any loud noise would startle the dragon fetus in Bai Susu's belly.
For a moment, Yeonbokgung Palace was as quiet as a thousand-year-old temple.
Bai Susu took a nap on the couch for a while, and when she woke up she found it was raining outside.
The sound of raindrops hitting the glazed tiles on the roof actually livened up the atmosphere in the room.
When Nanchun saw Bai Susu stand up, she hurried over to serve her, handed the warm handkerchief to Bai Susu, and then squatted down to help Bai Susu put on her shoes.
"Just now, the kitchen sent someone to ask what the master would like to eat."
Bai Susu thought for a moment and said, "Let the kitchen prepare the pot. As for the soup base... let's not use the spicy beef hot pot. Let's make a three-fresh hot pot with chicken broth and mushrooms. The meat should be lamb rolls, fatty beef slices, and if there's fish, bring that too. The vegetables should be bamboo shoots, pea sprouts, and a plate of shredded tofu. Let the kitchen take care of the rest."
Nanchun listened carefully. After the master became pregnant, she had to be more careful about her diet. When she heard the master say that she didn't want the spicy soup base, she couldn't help but feel relieved.
The master is not that willful.
It was raining outside, so the air pressure in the house was a little low.
Bai Susu felt a little stuffy in her chest and asked Nanchun to open the window.
Nanchun was afraid that Bai Susu would catch a cold from the wind, so he only left a gap two fingers wide.
Bai Susu looked a little helpless. This person really treated her as a Liuli person.
The rain continued until the afternoon. Seeing that the rain did not stop, Bai Susu wondered if the emperor would come. But just as she was thinking for a while, she heard the eunuchs outside greeting her.
She hurriedly stood up to greet him. Just as she was about to bend her knees to salute, Emperor Xuan Jing stepped forward to help her up and said, "I told you not to salute. Be careful not to stoop so that you don't get upset."
Bai Susu smiled sweetly and stuck out her tongue: "I forgot."
Seeing her fair and soft little face, Emperor Xuan Jing felt that his heart, which had been empty all day, was finally filled.
Ever since Bai Susu left the Yangxin Palace, Emperor Xuan Jing always thought of her, and even felt uneasy when reviewing memorials.
It was finally night, and even though it was raining heavily, he remembered that she was waiting for him, so he immediately took the imperial sedan chair to Yeonbokgung Palace.
Although he came in the imperial sedan chair and held an umbrella when he got off, his clothes and shoulders were still stained with moisture.
Bai Susu looked up at the emperor's clothes, which were slightly darker at the shoulders than at other parts of the body. She was worried and brushed the emperor's clothes with the handkerchief in her hand, saying with a hint of anger, "It's all wet."
Emperor Xuan Jing took the opportunity to hold her in his arms, and listened to Bai Susu repeatedly instructing the palace servants to get a change of clothes, with a smile in his eyes.
Although he was only slightly wet at the moment, Wang Fuhai beside him was already soaked. After all, he was only wearing a straw raincoat because he had to hold an umbrella for the emperor.
Bai Susu was considerate. Seeing Wang Fuhai soaked to the skin, she said, "Eunuch, go downstairs, change your clothes, and warm yourself by the fire. I'll be there to serve the Emperor."
Wang Fuhai nodded and said yes, then looked at Emperor Xuan Jing's expression before he went down with peace of mind.
After Wang Fuhai left, Bai Susu took a dry towel and wiped Emperor Xuan Jing's hair that was wet by the rain.
Looking at her serious expression and feeling the sweet breath on her cheek, Emperor Xuan Jing felt comfortable and at ease from the inside out.
He put his hand on her waist and pulled her into his arms: "Are you tired today?"
"No, it's Nanchun and the others who are doing it. I'm just watching from the side." Bai Susu drew circles on Emperor Xuan Jing's shoulders and said boredly.
She was right. In fact, she didn't need to do anything. Now, even if she moved her mouth, Nanchun was worried that she would be tired.
Nanchun and the others are so nervous after just over a month of pregnancy. One can imagine how boring her future pregnancy life will be.
Emperor Xuan Jing knew that she was a person who enjoyed a lively atmosphere, so he lifted her chin and said soothingly, "The child is still young and the fetus is unstable. You should take good care of the baby. When it is stable, I will take you out to play."
"Really?" Bai Susu's eyes lit up. She really wanted to tell Emperor Xuan Jing that she was in good health and the baby was very stable after taking the pregnancy-maintaining pills.
But knowing Emperor Xuan Jing's personality, I'm afraid he won't be so cautious until after the first three months.
Emperor Xuan Jing nodded, and Bai Susu became happy again.
"What are we having for dinner?" Emperor Xuan Jing changed the subject.
He knew that Bai Susu was particularly focused on food, so he didn't have to think about it every time he came to her place. Bai Susu's taste was also compatible with his, and the dishes she ordered were always to his liking.
Bai Susu smiled when she heard this: "I was just thinking about what to eat. Eating hotpot on a rainy day is the most pleasant thing. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Emperor Xuan Jing carefully protected her waist. Seeing her sweet smile, he didn't listen to what she said at all. Her smile was the only thing in his mind.
"Your Majesty?" Bai Susu tilted her head, and seeing that the emperor was stunned, she asked, "Is it okay?"
Emperor Xuan Jing smiled and said, "I'll do as you say."
Bai Susu had just become pregnant, and her waist was still slender and soft. When Emperor Xuan Jing thought that she was carrying the child of two people in her belly, he felt unreasonably soft-hearted.
The emperor and Concubine Zhen were eating in the room. Xiao Shunzi was quite clever. He led Eunuch Wang to his room to change his clothes, and then brought a bowl of hot mutton soup from the small kitchen.
The rain in late autumn was very cold, not to mention that Wang Fuhai was soaked all over.
"Eunuch Wang, this is the mutton soup cooked in the kitchen. Drink it to ward off the cold."
Wang Fuhai took it and saw that the bowl was full of braised mutton. The aroma of the meat instantly filled the whole room.
He took a sip. The mutton soup was rich and spicy because it contained a lot of pepper, but it had no smell of mutton.
After drinking a few sips, the coldness in the body was dispelled, and the whole body felt as comfortable as if soaked in warm water.
Wang Fuhai: "This is lamb, right?"
"Hey, Eunuch Wang, you have a good palate. This is a three-month-old lamb, freshly slaughtered. The master wants to eat hotpot. Slice the lamb and put it in the pot to enjoy the delicious flavor."
Wang Fuhai didn't dare drink anymore and said, "Empress Zhenpin wanted to eat, why did you bring it to me?"
Seeing his fear, Xiao Shunzi smiled to himself, but slapped his lips and said, "It's my fault for not explaining it clearly. The master is considerate of the servants and killed two. One is just a snack for the servants."
Wang Fuhai was relieved at this moment. He sipped the wine with a slurp of his mouth and said leisurely, "Master Zhen is a generous person. You are lucky."
Xiao Qingzi knew very well that the good life he was living now was something he had never imagined before. He was very happy to meet a master with such a good temper who never beat or scolded his servants.
Now she is pregnant with the dragon fetus, which is the first of its kind in the harem. Her future is bright.
Xiao Shunzi was so drunk that he would wake up laughing.
