Xiao Jinyan noticed that Shen Chuwei's body sank and frowned. Is she so weak?

He exerted some strength in his hands and lifted her up.

Chang Liangdi looked at Xiao Jinyan's arms around Shen Chuwei and the small handkerchief tightly clenched in his hand. It was obvious that Shen Chuwei was pretending to be like that in order to arouse His Highness' pity.

Xiao Jinyan: “…” Do you think everyone is as good at pretending as you?

The Guanyin of Childbirth is not far from the Main Hall. Just turn left and walk a few steps to arrive.

Because the Queen came to worship Buddha and pray, the abbot of the temple cooperated with the guards to clear the venue in advance.

Shen Chuwei followed the queen and walked in slowly. She looked up at the fertility-giving Guanyin above. She had kind eyes and was accompanied by a golden boy and a jade girl on her left and right. The incense in front of them was burning brightly, indicating that many people were burning incense to pray for children.

After the Queen and Xiao Jinyan knelt on the mat one after another, she could only resign herself to kneeling down as well. Her legs, which had just relaxed, seemed to regain consciousness and she began to feel all kinds of pain and discomfort as soon as she knelt down.

The queen was mumbling something, and even though Shen Chuwei couldn't hear clearly, she guessed that the queen was praying for a child.

It has been more than half a year since Xiao Jinyan took a concubine. He is surrounded by many beautiful women, but has no children. As a mother-in-law, the queen must be anxious to have a grandson.

From ancient times to the present, the hearts of parents all over the world are the same.

She used to think that she was the only one in the Eastern Palace who had not received the emperor's emperor's sleep.

Now?

She didn't know who actually slept with her ~ Fortunately, the Queen didn't chant for long this time. Shen Chuwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Next time they came to burn incense and worship Buddha, she would definitely find an excuse not to come!

After the queen finished burning incense, she turned to look at Shen Chuwei and Chang Liangdi, "Chang Liangdi, Shen Liangdi, you guys come and burn some incense too."

"Yes, aunt." Chang Liangdi tried to stand up while holding up her skirt. As soon as she stood up, her legs went weak and she fell into Xiao Jinyu's arms.

Xiao Jinyan saw a green figure falling towards him from the corner of his eye, and he dodged to the side without making a sound.

"Ah!!" Chang Liangdi screamed and fell to the ground.

"Lan'er." The Queen walked over hurriedly, "Quick, help Lan'er up."

Qingying was closest to Chang Liangdi, so she took two steps forward and helped Chang Liangdi up.

The Queen looked Chang Liang Di up and down. She was wearing thick clothes in winter, so she couldn't see if she was injured. "Lan Er, are you okay?"

Xiao Jinyan stepped forward as if he had just seen it, and asked, "Why did you fall down suddenly?"

Chang Liangdi fell hard, her eyes red with pain, "My leg suddenly cramped and I couldn't stand steadily, my leg hurts from the fall."

She originally wanted to imitate Shen Chuwei and take advantage of her numb legs to fall into Xiao Jinyan's arms, but she didn't expect to fall so badly.

Seeing Chang Liang Di almost crying in pain, the Queen felt very distressed. She ordered, "Qingying, send Lan Er back to her room to rest, and let the imperial physician come to see Lan Er."

"Yes." Qingying called another palace maid, and the two of them worked together to send Chang Liangdi back to the room.

It was not until Chang Liangdi's figure disappeared at the door that she withdrew her gaze and looked at Shen Chuwei. It was particularly cold today, and she was wearing a pink fox fur coat, looking pretty and charming.

If it's a girl, she will definitely look good.

"Shen Liang Di, please come and burn some incense to Guanyin, the goddess of fertility, and try to have a child sooner."

Shen Chuwei looked up at Xiao Jinyan and said, "Your Highness, there is no need for me to burn incense to the Goddess of Childbirth, right? I don't need to...

Xiao Jinyan thought her legs were numb again and she was looking for help. He took two steps forward, grabbed her hand and asked, "Why, are your legs numb again?"

Shen Chuwei forgot that she and Xiao Jinyan had no tacit understanding at all, so naturally she couldn't understand the meaning in her eyes.

She couldn't explain it in front of the Queen.

Shen Chuwei nodded, "It's a little numb."

Xiao Jinyan only felt that Shen Chuwei was weak, and his legs became numb after kneeling for a while. He would have to nourish himself well when he returned to the palace.

Shen Chuwei: "..." Your Highness, are you serious? The Queen saw that Shen Chuwei's feet were numb, so she didn't urge her. "It doesn't matter if you want to have a child. Guanyin is kind and compassionate, and she won't blame you."

Shen Chuwei: “…” The key is that she doesn’t need to pray for a child. Shen Chuwei’s legs were not numb to begin with. After a while, she burned incense to the Goddess of Childbirth under the guidance of the little monk.

She discovered that the little monk who handed her the incense was the same little monk who gave her hot water.

She smiled at the little monk and then walked over with the incense.

The little monk was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes and stepped aside.

After burning incense, the Queen asked the Crown Prince and Shen Liangdi to kowtow to Guanyin again, so that she would give more children, either boys or girls, twins would be even better.

The queen hastened to suppress her desires. She was not too greedy. What if Guanyin, the goddess of fertility, was unhappy? All the time she had knelt and chanted sutras for so long would be of no use. If she didn't send a fertility gift, it would be the end of her.

I don't know who said that Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth, is kind and compassionate...

By the time we finished worshipping the Goddess of Childbirth, it was already dark.

Dinner was still a vegetarian meal with simple tea and rice. The queen didn't even want to pick up her chopsticks. She suddenly missed the instant noodles Shen Chuwei gave her.

Qingying knew the queen well. She picked up the chopsticks and handed them to the queen, comforting her: "Your Majesty, you can only eat vegetarian food in the White Horse Temple now. You will be hungry if you don't eat."

The queen sighed, and reluctantly picked up the chopsticks from Qingying's hand, but did not move.

I have to stay in the White Horse Temple for two more days, which means I have to eat six vegetarian meals. The thought of it makes me despair.

If she had known earlier, she should have asked Shen Chuwei for a few buckets of instant noodles.

In the next room, Shen Chuwei looked at the bland soup and didn't need to eat anything, although she was hungry.

Xiao Jinyan took two bites of the vegetarian meal slowly, and when he saw Shen Chuwei holding the chopsticks without moving, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Chuwei raised her little face and looked at Xiao Jinyan, "I want to eat braised pork."

Xiao Jinyan looked at her expectant eyes, raised his hand and tapped her forehead, "This is a temple, a place for vegetarians and Buddhists, how can you eat meat?"

Shen Chuwei slumped her shoulders and said, "I am just thinking about it."

I really want to eat braised pork, braised fish, and braised spareribs...

She suddenly understood why girls like domineering presidents, because as long as you say you want to eat, the domineering president will arrange it immediately!

Xiao Jinyan picked up a piece of lettuce and put it into Shen Chuwei's bowl. "When we get back to the palace, we'll have everything we want to eat."

Shen Chuwei looked at the lettuce in the bowl. There was not even any oil on it, which showed that it was not delicious.

"I know." After saying that, she picked up the piece of lettuce and put it into her mouth. As expected, the taste was so light that it tasted like water.

Xiao Jinyan stared at her for a while, then lowered his head and continued eating.

After dinner, Shen Chuwei found an excuse to slip out of the room.

She held a lantern and walked along the bluestone road towards the back door.

During the day, she took a walk around and found out that the back door here was connected to the woods at the foot of the mountain.

The guards outside the door saw Shen Chuwei and naturally did not stop her.

After walking for a while, Shen Chuwei arrived at the back door. He opened the bolt and the old wooden door made a creaking sound.

There are two red lanterns on the door, and a forest is visible.
