Chapter 339: The Emperor Was Not Afraid of the Empress' Support When He Went Out

Shen Chuwei looked at Chunxi, whose face was red with anger, and she soothed him, "Let's just be careful and bring some food to the Empress."

"I understand." Chunxi was furious. If she could beat the emperor, she would probably do it without hesitation.

Chunxi prepared some snacks, all of which she made herself. With a food expert by her side, it would be easy for her to not make any.

When they were about to leave, Chunxi stared at Shen Chuwei's belly for a while and suggested, "My lady, let's wrap the belly with a cloth so it won't be easily discovered."

Chunxi said this and went to get the cloth.

Shen Chuwei cooperated by lifting up the hem of her skirt and watched Chunxi bring out a roll of white cloth. The fabric was very thin and breathable.

Watching Chunxi's round belly being rolled up in circles, she took a breath and her belly immediately became smaller.

After wrapping the cloth around my waist and letting down the hem of my skirt, I looked at my belly and it was indeed smaller.

Chunxi then felt at ease holding the parasol for Shen Chuwei and left Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Shen Chuwei looked at the luxuriously decorated East Palace. She hadn't left the gate of Xiaoxiang Pavilion for almost five months, and suddenly she felt like a country bumpkin entering the city.

Because Xiaoxiang Pavilion is adjacent to the Cold Palace, it has been uninhabited for many years and has become dilapidated.

Shen Chuwei was just like a bumpkin coming to the city. She looked around and saw that the lotus in the lotus pond had already aged. She felt sorry for a while: "It's a pity that the lotus didn't meet my beloved when it just matured."

Chunxi was so nervous that she heard Shen Chuwei say this. After being together for so long, it was easy for her to understand what Shen Chuwei meant. She lamented that she didn't eat the lotus seeds when they were ripe.

"My dear, it's already this late and you're still thinking about eating?"

Shen Chu smiled and said, "I'm just expressing my feelings."

As soon as I walked out of the East Palace, I met an acquaintance, Chang Liangyuan.

Chunxi subconsciously moved the food box towards Shen Chuwei's belly, fearing that Chang Liangyuan would find out that she was pregnant and then use some tricks against her.

Compared to Chunxi's nervousness, Shen Chuwei was much calmer. She held Chang Liangyuan's hand as she walked in gradually.

The more you worry about something, the more likely it is to happen. This is Murphy's Law.

Chang Liangyuan was startled when she saw Shen Chuwei. Wasn't Shen Chuwei under house arrest? Why did she come out?

Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have the Empress backing you up?

Chang Liangyuan went up to her and bowed, "Shen Liangdi, aren't you under house arrest?"

Shen Chuwei said calmly: "The emperor has just issued an imperial decree to lift the ban."

Chang Liangyuan originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to have Shen Liangdi punished again, but when she learned that it was the emperor's order, she naturally could not say anything.

"No wonder I didn't hear about it. Where is Shen Liangdi going?"

Shen Chuwei's voice was still calm, "Go and pay your respects to the Empress."

Chang Liangyuan snorted in her heart when she heard this. She couldn't wait to please her aunt as soon as the ban was lifted. Her face was thicker than a city wall. No wonder she coaxed her aunt into saying good things for her everywhere.

"I'll go first." Shen Chuwei said these three words, and then she and Chunxi continued to walk towards Fengyi Palace.

Chang Liangyuan stood there, watching Shen Chuwei's back as she left, tightly clenching the handkerchief in her hand, relying on an innocent face to gain sympathy. Her mind was deep enough.

She looked for a while and found that Shen Chuwei's walking posture was a little strange, somewhat different from Chunxi's walking posture.

Huaixiang saw that the young master had walked away but she still kept staring at Shen Liangdi, "Young master, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I'm just a little curious." Chang Liangyuan looked back twice before returning to Xinlan Palace.

When Shen Chuwei came to Fengyi Palace, the Queen was selecting fabrics to make clothes for her grandson.

The table was filled with fabrics of all colors, all of them top-quality, making one dazzled by the choices.

Shen Chuwei was brought in directly by Qingying without any prior notification.

She stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty."

The queen was overwhelmed by the selection. She raised her head and saw Shen Chuwei. She was so surprised, "Shen Liangdi, why are you here?"

As he said that, he stood up, took her hand and sat down at the table.

Shen Chuwei said: "I came here just after the ban was lifted today."

"You are pregnant now. If you come out like this, it will be easy for people to notice. Don't come next time. I will go to see you." Although the queen was happy that Shen Chuwei came to see her, she always felt unsafe because she was pregnant. She was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would use force against her.

Shen Chu nodded slightly, "Then I will not come next time. I will wait for the Queen in Xiaoxiang Pavilion."

"That's right." The queen smiled and pulled Shen Chuwei, pointing to a table full of fabrics and said, "I want to make some small clothes for the babies in advance, and I'm almost overwhelmed by the choices. As a mother, you can also help me choose."

Shen Chuwei looked at the fabric on the table. The dark patterns on it made it look like precious fabric. The colors ranged from elegant to gorgeous, but all looked good.

She picked out some nice-colored fabrics and said, "This golden yellow one looks good on my skin, and there are also blue and moon white ones. I think they all look good."

The Queen looked at the fabrics that Shen Chuwei had chosen and liked them very much. She praised her generously, "You have a good eye. I have been looking for a long time but couldn't find the fabrics that I like."

Shen Chuwei touched the fabric and said, "The Queen has a very good eye. The fabrics are very comfortable."

The queen smiled and said, "The baby's skin is delicate and tender. This Shujin material is the best. I will make some small shoes for her later."

The queen wanted to make clothes for her baby, so Shen Chuwei was of course very happy. She came over and asked, "Does the queen need drawings?"

The Queen looked at Shen Chuwei in confusion, "What drawing?"

Shen Chuwei said: "It's a drawing for making clothes."

The queen was so surprised when she heard this, "You can also design clothes?"

Shen Chuwei said guiltily: "I know a little bit, and I'm even better at drawing."

"Then draw it and let's see." The Queen turned around and told Qingying, "Go prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Shen Chuwei hurriedly called to Nanny Qingying, "No need, the drawings are ready in Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Your Majesty, please go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion when you have time, and I will explain it to you."

The queen was not in a hurry when she heard this. "That's fine. When I get there, you can show it to me."

"By the way, have you had any cramps or swelling recently?" When the empress was pregnant, she suffered from severe leg cramps at night and severe swelling. The dog emperor was not so mean at that time. He would massage her legs in the middle of the night and say that she had worked hard.

Who would have known that the Dog Emperor would turn out to be such a dog, making people's teeth itch every time they are angry.

Shen Chuwei said: "I don't have these symptoms, and my sleep quality is pretty good."

The queen nodded. "That's good. If it stays like this, it will be less hard."

Shen Chuwei sat for a while, then left Fengyi Palace with Chunxi.

As soon as they came out, Chunxi couldn't help but said, "My lady, why didn't you say that it was the emperor who asked you to come to Fengyi Palace? You took such a big risk."

Shen Chuwei said: "We first listened to the emperor, and now we just need to listen to the empress."

Chunxi was stunned when he heard this, "Is this possible?"

"Why not? We have listened to what the Emperor and Empress said!" Shen Chuwei chuckled twice.

Chunxi: “…”Okay!

The next day, the Queen came to visit Shen Chuwei with some tonic soup, and brought Qingying to see the drawings.

She planned to make clothes for her precious grandson with Qingying.

Shen Chuwei prepared the drawings early.

In fact, children's clothes are much more convenient than adults'.

The drawing Shen Chuwei gave was a one-piece suit, because clothes would not fit the newborn baby well. If the waist is too big, it would fall down, and if it is too tight, it would make the baby uncomfortable.

One-piece clothes, baby will feel very comfortable wearing them.

It was the first time the Queen had seen such clothes, and she found them very novel. "Shen Liangdi is really thoughtful. The one-piece clothes are very suitable for babies."

Shen Chu smiled guiltily. She had also seen it while shopping in the mall. She had also seen babies wearing jumpsuits before and they looked comfortable and cute, so she kept the drawing.

The Queen took Qingying to study it again. After figuring out how to sew it, she couldn't wait to go back to Fengyi Palace to make clothes for her precious grandson.

After the ban was lifted, it became more convenient for Qin Xiao to come in.

Because Xiao Jinyan had asked Shen Chuwei to buy some snacks and delicacies from outside the palace every now and then before he left.

Qin Xiao was almost on the way out of the palace, on the way to buy food.

Because as Hsiao Kam-yan said, don’t repeat yourself in eating delicious food.

Qin Xiao ran all over the streets and alleys just to find delicious food that Shen Chuwei had never eaten.

Shen Chuwei, who was still thinking about the stir-fried crayfish, saw Qin Xiao coming and her eyes lit up.

"Qin Xiao."

Qin Xiao placed the food he bought on the low table in front of Shen Chuwei, "Shen Liangdi, I bought this on the streets of the south city. Try it."

When Shen Chuwei heard that there was food, she couldn't wait to sit up on the couch. Since she had a stomach, her movements were inevitably affected.

She opened the oil paper package and saw the distinct, snow-white and plump dragon's beard pastry.

"Qin Xiao, you actually bought dragon beard cakes." She picked up the dragon beard cakes, carefully brought it to her mouth and took a bite. It melted in her mouth with a nutty sweetness.

"As long as Shen Liangdi likes to eat it." Qin Xiao put one hand behind his back and walked out.

Chunxi made two small bellybands these two days. After washing them, she was about to hang them out to dry when she turned around and saw Qin Xiao standing behind her.

Qin Xiao came here twice but didn't meet Chunxi, so this time he came here specifically to look for her.

Qin Xiao was too tall, Chunxi had to look up to see his handsome face, "What are you doing standing behind me?"

Qin Xiao took out a package from behind his back and put it into Chunxi's hand, "This is for you."

Chunxi looked down at the thing Qin Xiao suddenly stuffed into her hand. Because it was wrapped in oil paper, she couldn't see what was inside.

"Qin Xiao, what is this?" When Chunxi raised her head, Qin Xiao was nowhere to be seen; he had already run away.

"This person is so strange." After Chunxi hung up the bellyband to dry, she opened the oil paper package and found two things inside, a wooden box and an oil paper package.

She opened the wooden box and found a beautiful white and green pearl flower inside.

She opened another oil-paper package and found that there was food inside, but she didn't know what it was.

Since Qin Xiao gave it to her, it should be okay for her to eat it.

She brought it to her mouth and took a bite. It melted in her mouth, with a nutty sweetness, and was very delicious.

Actually Qin Xiao didn't leave. He hid where Chunxi couldn't see him and secretly watched Chunxi's reaction.
