Chapter 353: Threatening the baby, complaining to the queen and being scolded
I could feel her body temperature through the thin fabric.
Maybe because of his martial arts skills, his perception and hearing are better than ordinary people.
Xiao Jinyan felt as if he could sense the baby moving. He looked up at Shen Chuwei in surprise, "The baby seems to be moving."
Shen Chuwei felt that the hand on her stomach was a little too hot, probably because of the hot weather...
She explained with a smile: "Your Highness, this is called fetal movement."
Xiao Jinyan just felt it was a little strange, "Really? Would it make you feel bad?"
"Not now, but as the babies grow up, we can't say for sure." As the babies grow older, especially when there are two of them, the space becomes smaller and their movements are hindered, so punching and kicking are possible.
Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at her belly again, threatening: "You two should stay in your mother's belly obediently. If you make your mother uncomfortable, I will not forgive you when you leave the palace."
In ancient times, only the legal wife was qualified to be called mother.
A concubine can only be called mother.
In Xiao Jinyan's eyes, Shen Chuwei was already his legal wife, and all that was left was the process of being made a consort.
Shen Chuwei couldn't help laughing. Xiao Jinyan actually threatened the baby?
Xiao Jinyan raised her head when she heard the voice, and saw Xiaojiu smiling, "I just want them to know how hard it is for you as a mother."
Shen Chu smiled and then yawned, "Your Highness, I am a little sleepy."
Xiao Jinyan nodded, "I will rest with you."
"Okay." Shen Chuwei moved inside, leaving a large empty space for Xiao Jinyan.
Xiao Jinyan took off his shoes, lay down beside Shen Chuwei, and then held her in his arms. It had been five months since he last held her, but the person in his arms was still as delicate and soft as ever.
Shen Chuwei had long been accustomed to sleeping alone during this period of time, and was held in Xiao Jinyan's arms. It was not that she disliked being held by him, but she was pregnant now, so it was indeed a little inconvenient.
But soon, she fell asleep.
Xiao Jinyan had been on the road for two days and two nights without sleeping a wink. Now he was lying on the bed with his wife and children in his arms, so he naturally felt at ease and fell asleep quickly.
At this time, on the official road
A gorgeous phoenix chariot was moving quickly surrounded by guards.
The Queen opened the curtain and looked out the window with her beautiful eyes. She was still some distance away from the city gate, and her eyes were full of anxiety.
"Why so slow? Let them go faster."
Qingying ordered the guards outside, "Tell them to go faster."
"Yes." The guard responded.
After a while, the phoenix chariot's speed increased, and it was obviously more bumpy than before.
For the sake of her daughter-in-law and precious grandson, the queen had to endure the bumpy ride.
Qingying saw that the queen looked unhappy and asked worriedly, "Madam Queen, are you feeling very uncomfortable?"
The queen covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and after her churning stomach had calmed down, she shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as we can get back to the palace quickly, these are nothing."
Qingying felt a little distressed.
At this moment, the Phoenix Chariot suddenly stopped.
The moment the Phoenix Sedan stopped, the Queen's stomach felt better, but she was very angry, "Why did it stop so suddenly? Hurry up!"
Qingying opened the car curtain and asked, "What's going on?"
The guard replied, "Someone is blocking the way. She claims to be the Empress' niece, Chang Liangyuan."
The queen frowned when she heard this, "Chang Liangyuan? Why is she here?"
Qingying opened the curtain and helped the Empress out of the phoenix sedan chair.
When Chang Liangyuan saw the queen coming out, she took a few steps forward crying and knelt on the ground to greet her: "Aunt."
The empress got down from the phoenix sedan chair with the help of Qingying, and looked down at Chang Liangyuan who was crying.
"Why did you leave the palace without permission?"
Chang Liangyuan looked at the empress with her tearful eyes, "Aunt, doesn't Lan'er have a chance to visit her relatives every year? So Lan'er took this opportunity to come to see you, aunt, and want you to make the decision for me."
The Queen was furious. She was angry that the Emperor did not acknowledge his grandson, and she was also angry that Chang Liangyuan had falsely accused the grandson of not being hers.
She snorted coldly, "The emperor gave you the right to go home to visit your relatives, not the right to leave the imperial city. You ignore the palace rules and regulations, and you still want me to make the decision for you?"
Chang Liangyuan paused in her crying. She didn't expect that the Queen would blame her at this time. She cried and showed her red and swollen face to the Queen.
"Aunt, Lan'er didn't have any choice. Look at Lan'er's face."
The queen looked at Chang Liangyuan's red and swollen face. Under normal circumstances, she would have felt distressed. But now, not only did she not feel distressed, she even felt that Chang Liangyuan deserved it.
Chang Liangyuan cried and said, "Your Highness beat me. Lan'er was just doing it for Your Highness's good. She was afraid that her true feelings would go to the wrong person. As a result, her honest advice was unpleasant to the ear, and Your Highness misunderstood Lan'er's original intention."
"aunt."
The Queen asked, "What did you say that made the Prince feel that honest advice was unpleasant to the ear?"
Chang Liangyuan choked up and said slowly, "Aunt, the child Shen Liangdi is carrying is not yours, but yours does not believe it and insists that Lan'er is jealous of Shen Liangdi and framed her. As the saying goes, the truth hurts. Yours is just trusting Shen Liangdi too much and is deceived without knowing it."
The queen was so angry that she took two steps forward and slapped him.
"Bang!" Chang Liangyuan's left cheek was hit and tilted to one side.
The Queen scolded her in a stern voice: "Chang Liangyuan, since you entered the palace, I have been protecting you, fearing that you would be wronged. But what about you? I don't think it's a big deal if you play tricks to win favor, after all, there is only one prince. But you actually played tricks to frame Shen Liangdi, you disappoint me so much."
Chang Liangyuan covered her right face with her left hand and looked at the empress with tears in her eyes, "Aunt, why don't you believe Lan'er? Even Doctor Yu said that Concubine Shen Liang has been pregnant for more than four months..."
The queen scolded, "That's enough. I'm not old and blind yet. We'll know if it's true or not once we check it out. You should also be prepared to be punished."
After saying this, she walked to the Phoenix Chariot with a flick of her sleeves, and was helped onto it by Qingying.
Only Chang Liangyuan was left kneeling on the ground.
After a long time, Huaixiang finally helped him up and got on the carriage.
Phoenix chariot moves forward quickly
The queen's chest was heaving with anger. "I'm really pissed off. I loved her for nothing."
"Your Majesty, don't be upset. In the palace, everyone has their own selfish desires. The more they think about it, the more they will try to get it. Your Majesty, please be more open-minded." Qingying advised.
"Yes, there are many women in the palace who take advantage of opportunities and step on others to climb up."
The Queen suddenly thought of Shen Liang Di, "There is probably no one like Shen Liang Di who only cares about eating in the palace."
She had been with Shen Liangdi for so long that both her behavior and words were different from those of the women in the palace.
In front of the queen, she never mentioned anyone, and the only topic between them was food...
An hour before the empress returned to the palace, the emperor paced back and forth in his study.
He suddenly stopped and ordered, "Eunuch Li, give the agate bracelet to Shen Liangdi as a gift, and also give her a pair of jade lotus."
ps: I will update one chapter in the early morning, and about 30,000 words will be updated in the evening
Spoiler alert, the dog emperor only has sons and no princesses, so he really likes the heroine's daughter (really fragrant scene)
