Chapter 68 The closet door trembles and creaks
“Grandma!” Xiao Zhinian’s face changed slightly. He dodged and stood in front of Empress Dowager Liang. He said hastily, “Grandma, please speak softly. He…he is pregnant and it is inconvenient. He is very tired and needs to have a good rest. I will ask him to pay his respects to Grandma in person another day!”
Empress Dowager Liang thought about it carefully and realized that she must be very tired at this time. She did not doubt him, but felt a little regretful: "Okay, let my granddaughter-in-law have a good rest. You have to take good care of her. Ask the imperial physician to prescribe some pregnancy-maintaining medicine for her. Don't be clumsy all day long, understand!"
"I know, I know. Grandma Huang, please come back soon."
Xiao Zhinian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and saw Empress Dowager Liang to the door.
Empress Dowager Liang suddenly stopped, thinking of something more important, and said to the maid who was supporting her, "Lan Shu, you stay here and help. I am worried about the others."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhinian was furious.
If that's the case, wouldn't it not be long before his lies were exposed?
He was the first to jump out and object: "Grandma Empress, no!"
"Why?"
"Uh..." Xiao Zhinian hesitated for a long time, "Aunt Lan has been serving the Empress for so many years. Without her, the Empress will probably not be used to it."
Empress Dowager Liang said firmly, "The Empress has the final say on this matter. Lanshu, you stay and take care of her daily life. Xiaonian, don't be willful. Remember to send an order to the Hanlin Academy to summon her. The Empress's granddaughter-in-law is a noble title and will be rewarded with a lot of silver."
After saying this, she hurried away like a shadow, leaving only the palace slave named Lan Shu.
Aunt Lan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has left me here. I will do my best to take care of you and the master in the palace. With me here, I will ensure that the little prince is born safely."
"......"
Okay, okay, the Empress Dowager really wants him to fabricate a great-grandson out of thin air.
The key is, where can he find it?
Xiao Zhinian said, "There are many people in my bedroom. It was just a joke from the Empress Dowager. Aunt Lan, please go back first."
Aunt Lan said righteously, "How can this be? I am following orders and cannot give up halfway. From today on, I will take care of your food, clothing and other expenses."
Shen Zhejiang in the dark heard these words: "......"
I still have to find a time to leave the palace.
-
Aunt Lan worked vigorously and decisively. Within half an incense stick of time, the entire Yanqing Palace was decorated into a soft world. The floor was covered with a thick blanket, and every sharp corner of the table was covered with cotton cloth. Finally, she prepared the clothes and accessories needed for all seasons for Shen Zhejiang.
There are even clothes for children, which is very thoughtful.
The food was mostly light in flavor, simple and rich, and there was always a bowl of sour soup, thinking that Shen Zhejiang would feel nauseous and want to vomit after smelling the meat, but in the end, most of the time the soup ended up in Xiao Zhinian's stomach.
Xiao Zhinian didn't like sour things to begin with. Eating two bowls of sour soup every day was like torture to himself and was extremely miserable.
There is no need to elaborate on Shen Zhejiang.
He looked at the closet full of new clothes, colorful, of all kinds and styles, but unfortunately they were all for women.
I sighed helplessly.
"Tonight, find a reason to get Aunt Lan out. I have to leave the palace before the truth comes out."
“No!”
Xiao Zhinian hugged Shen Zhejiang in his arms with great force, not allowing Shen Zhejiang to leave.
Chen Zhejiang said: "I have been avoiding suspicion all the time these days. Aunt Lan is very thoughtful. Although you can hide it for a while, the truth will eventually come out. What should I do in the future?"
"Now that the master is gone, how can I explain this to the Empress Dowager?" As he spoke, Xiao Zhinian's eyes turned to the neatly stacked rows of clothes, and he felt a little interested. "I have a plan, may I hear it, master?"
He leaned close to Shen Zhejiang's ear and whispered something.
After hearing this, Shen Zhejiang was so angry that he turned around and slapped Xiao Zhinian, not hard, and said angrily: "If you want to wear it, go wear it yourself."
Xiao Zhinian rubbed his face aggrievedly, then suddenly raised his hand, walked around behind Shen Zhejiang, and picked out a goose yellow gauze-like shawl.
Shen Zhejiang suddenly felt something was wrong, took a step back and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Master once taught me not to be extravagant. The Empress Dowager prepared so much, so it must be useful."
After saying that, Xiao Zhinian grabbed Shen Zhejiang's wrists, flipped them behind his back, tied up Shen Zhejiang's wrists, pushed him into the closet, and fell into a piece of silk and satin.
"Xiao Zhinian!"
"Hush," Xiao Zhinian leaned on Shen Zhejiang, made a silencing gesture with his index finger at the edge of Shen Zhejiang's lips, and smiled and whispered, "Speak softly, Aunt Lan is waiting outside, listen carefully for her to hear the master's voice."
I don't know if it was a response to Xiao Zhinian's words, but there was some rustling noise coming from behind the screen.
Shen Zhejiang's hair was a little messy, his back was leaning against the cabinet wall, and he lowered his voice and warned: "...Let go."
Xiao Zhinian put his hand on Shen Zhejiang's waist, bit his lips lightly, and said firmly: "No."
As soon as he finished speaking, he kissed Shen Zhejiang forcefully.
The clothes are torn.
The closet door creaked and shook.
