Chapter 333: The Queen is mighty and domineering, and the birth of a dragon and phoenix is a good omen from heaven
Shen Chuwei nodded in agreement. If the emperor knew, it would be like he knew everything, and it would definitely be troublesome.
She was also afraid that they would disturb her quiet life.
She is fine now.
The queen said angrily, "The emperor is insisting on his own way. When the time comes, we won't allow him to see the baby or hold the baby, so that he can regret it. No, he won't even have a place to regret it."
Not only does he hug her left and right, he also complains about her every day and always reminds her that she is not young anymore!
What women hate most is being asked about age, and he keeps bringing it up every day.
She finally found a way to make the dog emperor regret it.
Let him become more and more self-righteous and look down on others.
She said at the beginning that Shen Liangdi did not commit any serious mistakes, and it was just that the dog emperor acted on his own will.
Not letting him suffer would be an apology for what he has done.
Shen Chu was stunned. She secretly gave a thumbs up. The queen was really strong. She dared to do things that others dared not to do and said things that others dared not to say!
Concubine Xu, your ideas can be realized.
At this time, Chunxi brought out the steamed corn.
The Queen saw corn for the first time. She looked at it curiously for a long time and asked Shen Chuwei, "What is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"
"Your Majesty, this is corn, please try it." Shen Chuwei picked up a corn and handed it to the Queen. After cooling down, it was no longer hot.
The queen took the corn from her with curiosity.
Xiao Jinyu happened to be a little hungry at the moment, and when he saw some food, he had never eaten it before, so of course he wanted to try it.
"Shen Liangdi, I want one too."
Shen Chuwei took one in each hand and handed one to Xiao Jinyu. Then she took the corn and put it into her mouth and took a bite. It was tender, juicy and a little sweet.
If the journey wasn't too far, she would have liked to give some to Xiao Jinyan to try.
The Queen watched Shen Chuwei chewing the entire thing, and thought that since there were no outsiders around, she could just chew it, so she didn't hesitate to chew it with her mouth.
Xiao Jinyu was stunned when she saw this scene. The queen mother, who was always dignified and gentle, actually bit her.
He took a bite of the corn and found it tasted good.
Shen Chuwei thought that the little rabbit had not been released yet, and the queen should have a way to get the little rabbit out.
"Your Majesty, the little rabbit in Xiaoxiang Pavilion was captured by the Imperial Guards two days ago. Can you ask the Imperial Guards to release him?"
The queen agreed readily upon hearing this, "How difficult is that?"
She turned around and told Eunuch Ren, "Go to the prison and ask them to release the little rabbit."
"Yes." Eunuch Ren accepted the order and left.
Seeing this, Shen Chuwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The little rabbit could finally come back.
The Queen sat with Xiao Jinyu for a while before leaving.
Shen Chuwei continued to eat the fruit platter.
After a while, Chunxi came to report the good news.
"My dear, the little rabbit is back."
Shen Chuwei raised her head in surprise, "So soon? Where is the person?"
Afterwards, the little rabbit came in from outside and stayed in the prison for three days, feeling very nauseous.
The little rabbit was a little embarrassed, "My lord, I didn't complete the task."
Shen Chuwei said nonchalantly: "It's okay, go downstairs and wash up, and eat first."
"Thank you, young master." The little rabbit turned around and walked out.
At night, Shen Chuwei took out paper and pen and wrote a letter to Xiao Jinyan.
By the time Xiao Jinyan received the letter, he would probably be on his way back.
In addition to the usual greetings, Shen Chuwei also told Xiao Jinyan that the Queen and Prince Yu knew that she was pregnant.
And told Xiao Jinyan the Queen's tough idea.
Each sentence is followed by a corresponding expression.
For example, to show the queen’s thoughts, she drew a thumbs-up sign after the words she said, and then a snickering smile.
After writing the letter, Shen Chuwei folded it and put it in an envelope, then placed it on the bedside table, and then fell asleep peacefully.
The next morning, Shen Chuwei asked Qin Xiao to send someone to deliver the letter.
When Concubine Xu and Tao Liangyuan arrived, Shen Chuwei was eating lotus seeds, the lotus seeds of the double-stalked lotus. Not sure if it was because they were fed with spiritual spring water, the lotus seeds ripened late.
Just after finishing eating, two people walked in one after another.
As soon as Tao Liangyuan walked in, she couldn't wait to ask, "Shen Liangdi, are you really pregnant with twins?"
On the way here, Concubine Xu secretly told Tao Liangyuan that Shen Chuwei was pregnant with two babies, and she was surprised and happy.
Shen Chu nodded, "Yes, there are two babies."
"Two babies! There is no precedent of twins in the royal family." Tao Liangyuan stared at Shen Chuwei's belly. Although her family has been in business for generations, this matter is not a secret and many people know about it.
After hearing this, Concubine Xu thought about it for a moment, and suddenly laughed out loud, "Then when the Emperor finds out, he will be so happy that he will go crazy, right?"
Tao Liangyuan laughed twice: "Of course, this is the first time that the royal family has twins, and they are the eldest son of the prince. The emperor is more than happy. Shen Liangdi is a mother who is honored by her sons."
Concubine Xu was so excited: "You have two sons, the eldest and the second. It takes others several years, but Shen Liangdi got it in one go. Your Highness is really amazing."
Tao Liangyuan covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "You are right, His Highness and Shen Liangdi are both very powerful."
Shen Chuwei looked at the two of them talking about their son, and she interrupted, "What if it's a daughter?"
Concubine Xu said "Puh, Puh, Puh!" three times in a row, and said righteously: "This baby must be a son. A daughter can be born next time."
Tao Liangyuan also nodded in agreement. "What Concubine Xu said makes sense. It's best if the first child is a son. Not only will it attract attention, but it will also shut those people up. Otherwise, if you give birth to a daughter, they will say that you can only give birth to daughters. What's the point of giving birth? "
Concubine Xu nodded vigorously. "That's what I meant. My mother also said that if a woman wants to maintain her status, it is more important to give birth to a son. It doesn't matter if a daughter is born later."
Shen Chuwei was almost brainwashed by the two people in front of her. She felt that having a son or a daughter was the same, because it was her own responsibility to give birth to the child.
"If we're lucky, it might be a dragon-phoenix fetus."
Tao Liangyuan's eyes widened. "Dragon-Phoenix fetus? Is it true?"
Concubine Xu believed it and said, "It must be true. Concubine Shen Liangdi would never lie to us."
Concubine Xu said, "If it's a twin, wouldn't the emperor be so happy that he won't be able to sleep for three days and three nights?"
Shen Chuwei was surprised: "So exaggerated?"
Tao Liangyuan said: "What Concubine Xu said is not exaggerating. The birth of a dragon and a phoenix can be said to be a good omen from heaven. It is something that only happens once in a century."
Shen Chuwei looked at the two people who were so serious and could only break their fantasy: "I was just saying it casually. The chance of having a dragon-phoenix fetus is very small, just like winning the first prize."
Concubine Xu didn't care: "Then I hope the first prize will fall on your head."
Shen Chuwei thought of the corn steaming in the pot: "The corn I planted is ripe, you can try it."
Concubine Xu became interested when she heard this. "Corn? What kind of food is it?"
Tao Liangyuan also looked at Shen Chuwei with curiosity.
Shen Chuwei smiled mysteriously and ordered, "Chunxi, bring the corn up."
After a while, Chunxi brought the corn and cooled it with cold water so that it was no longer hot.
Concubine Xu picked up a corn. She was particularly curious because she had never seen it before. It was yellow and looked very appetizing.
“Is this corn?”
Shen Chuwei had already started eating. She puffed her cheeks and nodded, "Yes, this is a more common type of corn."
"This is the first time I've seen corn." Tao Liangyuan picked up a piece and took a bite. "It's sweet and delicious."
After eating it, Concubine Xu nodded and agreed, "It tastes good."
Tao Liangyuan said while chewing some corn: "If we sell this corn, we will definitely get a lot of money."
Concubine Xu teased, "It's no wonder that you're a businessman. You can think of ways to make money even when eating corn."
Tao Liangyuan smiled sheepishly: "It's the result of being influenced by it since childhood."
Shen Chuwei took a bite of corn and said, "I think this is a good idea."
Tao Liangyuan became interested: "Does Shen Liangdi want to make this money?"
Shen Chuwei said, "I don't care about that. I can give you seeds and tell you how to grow them. When the corn is mature and old, it can be made into seeds. This way, the corn seeds will never be exhausted."
Tao Liangyuan was excited: "This is easy. Let's cooperate and I will give you dividends every year."
Shen Chuwei said, "You don't need to share the dividends. Consider these corn seeds as a gift from me."
She still remembered the 12,000 taels of silver Tao Liangyuan gave her. She didn't know how much corn she could buy with it.
After eating the corn, Shen Chuwei went into the inner room. In fact, she was taking seeds from the space, the common yellow corn seeds.
She placed five pounds of corn seeds on the table.
"Here are five pounds of corn seeds. Plant them first. If they sell well, I also have sweet sticky corn seeds and black sticky corn seeds. But I have planted both of them. They will be ready for consumption in a few days. You can try them out then."
Five kilograms of corn seeds can be used to plant more than one acre of land.
Tao Liangyuan opened the bag and took a look inside. The seeds were red. She looked up at Shen Chuwei in confusion, "Why don't these seeds look like corn?"
Shen Chuwei explained: "That's the coating, which can effectively prevent underground pests and some diseases."
Red is actually a new product of compound seed coating made of pesticides, fungicides, compound fertilizers, trace elements, plant growth regulators, etc.
When Tao Liangyuan left, she took five kilograms of corn seeds with her.
That night
Concubine Xu had been lying on the windowsill, waving a round fan in her hand, waiting for the man in black to arrive.
After escaping death from the plague, she was no longer afraid of the men in black. She felt that they were not bad people.
The man in black had promised that if she was not dead, he would pull off the veil to show her face.
She was still more curious about what the man in black looked like?
As a result, after waiting for an hour, there was no sign of the man in black.
Perhaps because she had been waiting for too long, Concubine Xu was getting impatient. She poked her head out and looked around in the dark night, "Where is the person? Why hasn't he come yet?"
Concubine Xu was angry: "When we don't expect him, he always shows up unexpectedly. Now that we are waiting for him, he doesn't come again."
"I've already promised them, how can you let them go?"
"You have no professional ethics at all. No, you have no manliness at all. You don't keep your word!"
All of Concubine Xu's words were heard by the man in black on the roof.
At this time, the man in black was sitting on the red glazed tiles, listening to Concubine Xu's complaints, he still sat there without moving.
The complaints died down, and the man in black thought Concubine Xu was tired, so he went to rest.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, he heard Concubine Xu roar in dissatisfaction.
"Are you still a man?"
Man in black: “…”
"My Lord, what are you doing?"
"Nothing, just went to sleep."
At this time, the lights in the house went out.
The man in black sat for a while, then stood up and used his light skills to go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
At this time, Xiaoxiang Pavilion was even quieter than Yixiang Hall.
The man in black jumped down from the roof and stood by the window. There was only a candle lit in the room, but it was not bright.
The people in the house had fallen asleep long ago.
The man in black has not been idle these days. He investigated Shen Chuwei's mother's home, the Mansion of Minister Shen, and learned that Shen Chuwei was born to a concubine. Because Shen Chuwei's mother made a mistake, he sent the mother and daughter to the countryside.
She was brought back to the palace at the age of fourteen, and became the prince's concubine at the age of fifteen.
None of this has anything to do with Xiaojiu.
Before, he thought Shen Chuwei might just happen to look similar to Xiaojiu.
Later, he saw with his own eyes that a wild cat had scratched Princess Xue, and things became more complicated.
Another possibility is that Shen Chuwei also has some ability to communicate with animals.
He had been looking for Xiaojiu for five years but there was no news at all.
It's as if he disappeared from this world.
The man in black stood outside the window for a long time before leaving quietly.
The morning sun shone on the windowsill, and the chrysanthemum faced the sun, with a small yellow flower blooming from the gap in the middle.
Fulaiyu is a kind of succulent, commonly known as butt flower~
It was rare for Shen Chuwei to get up early.
When Chunxi came in, she was surprised to find Shen Chuwei already dressed.
She came in with the washbasin and placed it on the shelf.
"My dear, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"I can't sleep." Shen Chuwei came to the shelf and started washing.
After Shen Chuwei finished washing up, she sat in front of the dressing table and let Chunxi do her makeup.
Chunxi was very deft and knew Shen Chuwei's preferences, so she was able to tie up her hair with ease.
"It's rare for the young lady to get up so early. Today I made some roasted wheat and fried cakes."
When Shen Chuwei heard about roasted wheat, she thought of rice dumplings, especially egg yolk and meat rice dumplings, which were her favorite.
"I want to eat Zongzi."
Chunxi was holding a peach blossom bead in her hand and was about to wear it on when she replied, "My lady, I have already made some roasted wheat. Eating too much glutinous rice will make you indigestible."
"Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and you can't let me eat a few rice dumplings to satisfy my hunger?" Shen Chuwei immediately added: "And green bean cakes, which are indispensable for the Dragon Boat Festival."
"My lady, can I make some rice dumplings tomorrow?"
"I will eat one less steamed bun today and order more rice dumplings. Tomorrow on Dragon Boat Festival, I will eat rice dumplings instead of steamed buns."
"..." Chunxi: "My dear, do you believe what you said?"
Shen Chuwei was powerless to refute. She sighed and said, "I miss Your Highness."
Chunxi: "..." Here it comes again~
On the dining table
When Shen Chuwei saw the roasted wheat, she was so greedy that she ate one after another...
After picking up the last piece on the plate and taking a bite, Chunxi asked quietly, "My dear, did you eat less?"
Shen Chuwei said righteously: "The size you made this time is too small, not because I eat too much."
Chunxi: “…”
After finishing her breakfast, Shen Chuwei looked at Chunxi who was packing clothes. She touched her belly and said, "Chunxi, the baby wants to eat zongzi."
Chunxi looked at Shen Chuwei's belly. The young lady was really eating so much that she even took out the baby.
What can she say?
Of course it’s making rice dumplings.
After an hour, Shen Chuwei finally got her wish and ate the egg yolk and meat dumplings. She patted her belly with satisfaction and said, "It is true that a mother's status depends on her son."
Chunxi: “…”
Suying took the letter and rushed to the military camp day and night.
When Xiao Jinyan saw Su Ying, he knew that Xiao Jiu had written to him again.
