Chapter 227 Is this a confession? Ask Dr. Zhao Yu to diagnose the pregnancy
The facial features of the painting have been completely drawn, and the hair is almost done.
You can tell at a glance that he is sitting in a carriage reading a book.
I didn't expect that I would be like this in her eyes, with a very focused gaze.
When Shen Chuwei was painting seriously, it was hard for her to notice that there was another person in the room, a man who knew martial arts.
This time, Xiao Jinyan did not rush to call her, but stood behind her silently, watching her paint.
The hand that held the pen was scribbling and painting, which was completely different from the hand that held the brush to paint.
Her painting is more interesting than those by famous artists and is closer to real people.
Shen Chuwei painted for a while and felt her wrist was a little sore. She stopped and suddenly smelled a scent of alcohol. She raised her head in confusion and saw Xiao Jinyan's slender figure standing behind her.
She was stunned for a moment, "Your Highness, why is there no sound when you walk?"
Xiao Jinyan said: "You are too serious about painting."
Shen Chuwei denied it in a low voice, "It was obviously your Highness who deliberately did not let me find out."
Xiao Jinyan did not comment.
Perhaps because he was drunk, he stretched out his arms and easily picked up Shen Chuwei, then sat down and let her sit on him.
Shen Chu was slightly surprised. What was Xiao Jinyan trying to do?
Xiao Jinyan is fast and holds the baby steadily.
As the distance got closer, the smell of alcohol became stronger, indicating that he had drunk a lot of alcohol.
Shen Chu turned back and looked at him with a puzzled look, "Your Highness, you've been drinking."
Xiao Jinyan kissed her rosy cheek and said, "Well, I drank a little, but I'm not drunk."
Shen Chuwei felt his cheeks getting hot, "Why is Your Highness drinking?"
"Nothing." Xiao Jinyan looked at the drawing board in her hand with some anticipation in his eyes, "I want to see how you draw me."
Shen Chuwei retracted her gaze and looked at the drawing board. The facial features of the character in the painting had already been completed, and she couldn't deny it.
She explained, "Your Highness, this is a sketch, and it takes a lot of time to draw."
Xiao Jinyan whispered softly in her ear: "Then draw some first and let me take a look."
"Okay." Shen Chuwei did not refuse. Holding the drawing board in one hand and the pen in the other, she continued to draw the hair seriously.
Xiao Jinyan looked at his own hair in the painting. His long, dark hair spread all over the ground, forming a sharp contrast with the snow-white mink blanket.
He asked doubtfully, "Is my hair really that long?"
Shen Chu nodded, "Of course there is. Your Highness is sitting in a carriage, and his waist-length hair will definitely touch the blanket."
Xiao Jinyan retracted his gaze and looked at Shen Chuwei's hair. He reached out and picked up a strand. It was so soft and smooth that he couldn't let it go.
"Xiaojiu's hair is waist-length now."
Shen Chuwei said: "Compared to your Highness, my hair is a section shorter."
"Yeah, with your height..." Xiao Jinyan seemed to have thought of something, but unfortunately the mark was on Xiyun Pavilion.
"I wonder how much you've grown in the past ten months."
"I guess not." Shen Chuwei didn't have much concern for height. Whether tall or short, it didn't affect her job.
"Xiaojiu." Xiao Jinyan actually had a lot to say, but the last word that came out of his mouth was Xiaojiu.
Shen Chuwei put the drawing board and pen back on the desk, turned to look at Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness, do you want to take a rest?"
Xiao Jinyan nodded, "Yeah."
Shen Chuwei wanted to get down, but Xiao Jinyan picked her up and walked to the bed. He put her on the bed and undressed her himself.
Shen Chu's cheeks blushed as she watched him take off his clothes, lower the bed curtains, lift the quilt, come in, hold her in his arms, and lower his head to kiss her.
This whole set of movements is smooth and seamless, as if it is done every day, with great skill and practice.
After the kiss, before Shen Chuwei could stop him, Xiao Jinyan hugged her in his arms and kissed her hair: "Go to sleep."
Shen Chu was stunned for a moment, and was forced to nestle in his arms, whispering, "Good night, Your Highness."
Xiao Jinyan whispered, "Good night, Xiaojiu."
Shen Chu was stunned for a moment. She remembered saying good night to Xiao Jinyan, which means I like you. Doesn’t Xiao Jinyan know that?
After a long time, Shen Chuwei fell asleep with doubts.
She had a dream, a very long dream.
In the dream, that person was screaming desperately again, Xiaojiu, come back soon.
"My lady, hurry up and get up. The sun is shining on your butt."
Shen Chuwei opened her eyes with great difficulty amid Chunxi's chattering. Although her eyes were open, she was not fully awake yet.
It was Shen Chuwei who said the phrase "the sun is shining on your butt", and Chunxi learned it quickly. Whenever she fell asleep, Chunxi would call her that, even if it was a cloudy and rainy day.
Shen Chuwei rubbed his eyes and asked, "Is His Highness gone?"
Chunxi said, "I left early."
"Oh." Shen Chuwei slowly lifted the quilt, raised her head and looked at Chunxi, "Do you know what good night means?"
Chunxi shook her head, "I don't know."
Shen Chuwei asked again: "Are there fried dough sticks for breakfast today?"
Chunxi thought he couldn't keep up with his young master's train of thought. He was clearly saying good night just now, so how come he was talking about fried dough sticks the next second?
"My lady, we don't have fried dough sticks, but we have spring rolls."
Shen Chuwei raised his eyebrows and said, "Spring rolls are not bad either."
The night before the Crown Princess was enthroned, the East Palace and even the entire Imperial Palace were quite lively, and the Ministry of Rites was intensively preparing for the ceremony of the Crown Princess.
Shen Chuwei was idle and thought that since so much time had passed, it was time to take action.
"Chunxi, call Concubine Xu over."
"Okay." Chunxi thought that her mistress was unhappy. After all, His Highness was going to marry the Crown Princess, who was the legal wife and was a world apart from a concubine.
Chunxi quickly called Concubine Xu over.
Obviously, Concubine Xu was in a bad mood, as she was shaking her handkerchief very frequently.
"Shen Liangdi, tomorrow is the ceremony to enthronize the Crown Princess. Chang Liangdi will be the Crown Princess in the future. I feel unwilling just thinking about it." Concubine Xu said angrily.
Shen Chuwei put down the melon seeds in her hand and said, "Then let's find something to do to kill time."
Concubine Xu was just sitting around doing nothing, and when she heard that there was something to do, she became interested, "What is it?"
Shen Chuwei leaned close to Concubine Xu's ear and said, "Please ask Doctor Zhao Yu to come and check my pulse. He said that my period has been delayed for a month, I always like to eat sour food, and I am sleepy. Is it possible that I am pregnant?"
Concubine Xu slapped her thigh, as if she had discovered something interesting. "I've been so depressed these past few days that I almost forgot about this. I'll ask Caixia to invite Doctor Zhao Yu now."
Concubine Xu turned around and told Caixia to tell her everything Shen Chuwei said without missing a word.
Caixia responded and turned around and trotted out.
After visiting the Imperial Hospital several times, she soon found Doctor Zhao Yu. She smiled and said, "Doctor Zhao Yu, you are truly amazing."
Doctor Zhao Yu hurriedly asked, "What happened to Concubine Xu?"
Caixia said, "The last time my young lady requested a fertility prescription, it was for Shen Liangdi. Now Shen Liangdi's period has been delayed for a month, and she is nauseous and sleepy. I suspect she is pregnant. Doctor Zhao Yu, please go and take a look."
