Chapter 149: If you want a son, why don’t you ask for it yourself!

Xiao Jinyan noticed that Shen Chuwei's body sank and his brows wrinkled. Is she so weak?

He exerted some strength in his hands and lifted her up.

Chang Liangdi looked at Xiao Jinyan's hands holding Shen Chuwei and holding the handkerchief tightly. It was obvious that Shen Chuwei was pretending to be so in order to arouse the prince's sympathy.

Xiao Jinyan: “…” Do you think everyone can pretend like you?

The Goddess of Childbearing is not far from the Main Hall. Just turn left and walk a few steps to reach it.

Because the Empress came to worship Buddha and pray, the temple abbot worked with the guards to clear the venue in advance.

Shen Chuwei followed the empress and walked in slowly. She looked up at the fertility-giving Guanyin above. She had kind eyes and was accompanied by a golden boy and a jade girl. The incense in front of them was burning brightly, indicating that many people were burning incense to pray for children.

After the Queen and Xiao Jinyan knelt on the mat one after another, she could only resign herself to kneeling down as well. Her legs, which had just relaxed, seemed to regain consciousness and began to feel all kinds of pain and discomfort as soon as she knelt down.

The Queen was mumbling something, and even though Shen Chuwei couldn't hear clearly, she guessed that the Queen was praying for a child.

It has been more than half a year since Xiao Jinyan took a concubine. He is surrounded by many beautiful women, but has no children. As a mother-in-law, the queen must be anxious to have a grandson.

From ancient times to the present, the love of parents is the same.

She used to think that she was the only one in the East Palace who had not received an imperial slept.

now?

She didn't know who really slept with her.

Fortunately, the Queen didn’t recite for long this time, and Shen Chuwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Next time when she came to burn incense and worship Buddha, she would definitely find an excuse not to come!

After the queen finished burning incense, she turned to look at Shen Chuwei and Chang Liangdi, "Chang Liangdi, Shen Liangdi, you should also burn some incense."

"Yes, aunt." Chang Liangdi held up the hem of her skirt and tried to stand up. As soon as she stood up, her legs went soft and she fell into Xiao Jinyu's arms.

Xiao Jinyan saw a green figure falling towards him from the corner of his eye, and he dodged to the side without making a sound.

"Ah!" Chang Liangdi screamed and fell to the ground.

"Lan'er." The Queen walked over hurriedly, "Quick, help Lan'er up."

Qingying was closest to Chang Liangdi, so she took two steps forward and helped Chang Liangdi up.

The Queen looked Chang Liang Di up and down. She was wearing thick clothes in winter, so it was hard to tell if she was injured. "Lan Er, are you okay?"

Xiao Jinyan seemed to have just seen it, and stepped forward to ask: "Why did you fall down suddenly?"

Chang Liangdi fell hard, her eyes red from the pain, "My leg suddenly cramped and I couldn't stand steadily, my leg hurts."

She originally wanted to imitate Shen Chuwei and take advantage of her numb legs to fall into Xiao Jinyan's arms, but she didn't expect to fall so badly.

The queen saw that Chang Liangdi was about to cry in pain, and she felt very distressed. She ordered: "Qingying, send Lan'er back to her room to rest, and let Doctor Yu come to check on Lan'er."

"Yes." Qingying called another palace maid, and the two of them worked together to send Chang Liangdi back to her room.

It was not until Chang Liangdi's figure disappeared at the door that she retracted her gaze and looked at Shen Chuwei. It was particularly cold today, and she was wearing a pink fox fur coat, looking cute and lovely.

If it's a girl, she will definitely look good.

"Shen Liangdi, come and put incense sticks on the Guanyin Guanyin to give birth to a child as soon as possible."

Shen Chuwei raised his head and glanced at Xiao Jinyan. "Your Highness, there is no need for me to burn incense to the Goddess of Childbirth, right? I don't need to...

Xiao Jinyan thought her legs were numb again and she was looking for help. He took two steps forward, grabbed her hand and asked, "Why, your legs are numb again?"

Shen Chuwei forgot that she and Xiao Jinyan had no tacit understanding at all, so naturally she couldn't understand the meaning in her eyes.

She couldn't explain it in front of the Empress.

Shen Chuwei nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's a little numb."

Xiao Jinyan felt that Shen Chuwei was weak and her legs became numb after kneeling for a while. She needed to replenish her body after returning to the palace.

"Then wait until you are no longer numb before offering incense to Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth."

Shen Chuwei: “…” Your Highness, are you serious?

The queen saw that Shen Chuwei's feet were numb, so she didn't urge him. "It doesn't matter if you want to have a child. Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth, is kind and compassionate, and she won't blame you."

Shen Chuwei: "..." The key is that she doesn't need to pray for a child, okay~

Shen Chuwei's legs were not numb to begin with, and after a while, under the guidance of the little monk, he burned incense to the Goddess of Childbirth.

She discovered that the little monk who handed her the incense was the same little monk who gave her the hot water.

She smiled at the little monk and then walked over with the incense in her hand.

The little monk was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyelids and stepped aside.

After burning incense, the queen asked the prince and Shen Liangdi to kowtow to Guanyin again, so that she would give more children, either boys or girls, and dragon and phoenix twins would be even better.

The queen hastily suppressed her desires. She was afraid that she could not be too greedy. What if the goddess of fertility was unhappy? All the time she had knelt for so long and chanted sutras for so long would be of no use. If she was not happy, it would be the end of her.

I don’t know who said just now that Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth, is kind and compassionate…

By the time we finished worshipping Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth, it was already dark.

Dinner was still vegetarian rice, simple food and tea. The queen had no desire to even pick up her chopsticks and suddenly missed the instant noodles Shen Chuwei gave her.

Qingying understood the empress. She picked up the chopsticks and passed them to the empress, comforting her: "Your Majesty, you can only eat vegetarian food in the White Horse Temple now. You will be hungry if you don't eat."

The queen sighed, and helplessly took the chopsticks from Qingying's hand, but did not move.

I still have to stay in the White Horse Temple for two more days, which means I have to eat six more meals of vegetarian food. The thought of it makes me despair.

If she had known earlier, she should have asked Shen Chuwei for a few buckets of instant noodles.

In the next room, Shen Chuwei looked at the bland soup and didn't need to eat anything, although she was hungry.

Xiao Jinyan took two mouthfuls of vegetarian rice slowly, and when he saw Shen Chuwei holding the chopsticks without moving, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Chuwei raised her little face and looked at Xiao Jinyan, "I want to eat braised pork."

Xiao Jinyan looked at her eyes full of expectation. He raised his hand and tapped her forehead. "This is a temple, a place for fasting and chanting. How can you eat meat?"

Shen Chuwei slumped her shoulders and said, "I am just thinking about it."

I really want to eat braised pork, braised fish, braised spareribs...

She suddenly understood why girls like domineering presidents, because as long as the domineering president says you want to eat, he will arrange it immediately!

Xiao Jinyan put a piece of lettuce into Shen Chuwei's bowl and said, "When we get back to the palace, we'll have everything you want to eat."

Shen Chuwei looked at the lettuce in the bowl. There was not even any oil on it, which showed that it was not delicious.

"I know." After saying that, she picked up the piece of lettuce and put it into her mouth. As expected, the taste was so light that it tasted like water.

Xiao Jinyan stared at her for a while, then lowered his head and continued eating.

After dinner, Shen Chuwei found an excuse to slip out of the room.

Holding the lantern, she walked along the bluestone path towards the back door.

During the day, she took a walk around and found out that the back door here connected to the forest at the foot of the mountain.

The guards outside the door saw Shen Chuwei and naturally did not stop him.

After walking for a while, Shen Chuwei arrived at the back door, opened the bolt, and the old wooden door made a creaking sound when it was opened.

There are two red lanterns on the door, and a forest can be seen.
