Chapter 273 Two Pregnant Women
At this moment, Xia Zhengqi was both relieved and a little scared.
Fortunately, his daughter saw the loopholes in the nursery garden, and fortunately she met Liang Chaozong's idea, otherwise, the seeds that King Jin brought back with great difficulty would all be gone.
If Liang Chaozong took them to his own base, the remaining forces would grow a large number of corn and potatoes, and their population would grow rapidly.
Because he was worried that Xia Miaoyuan was still thinking about the nursery garden, Xia Zhengqi came to Kunning Palace during dinner.
He pretended to chat with the queen and casually told her about the nursery garden.
"It's really dangerous!" The queen couldn't help but sigh.
[Ah! Great! Liang Chaozong really couldn't help but send people to steal the seeds! 】
【Fortunately, Daddy had foresight and strengthened the defenses, and Uncle Ten came up with a good idea to set a trap. 】
【Now, the nursery should be safe for the time being. 】
【Liang Chaozong is a man who will not use the same method twice. He will not send people to steal things from the nursery again. 】 The
emperor and the empress heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this.
Unexpectedly, Xia Miaoyuan said in her heart, 【But Daddy can't take it lightly! 】
【Corn and potatoes are very important. Liang Chaozong will not let it go. 】
【I wonder what this pair of dogs and bitches will do in the future? 】
【Oh, it's so annoying to think about it. Forget it, I won't think about it for now. 】Xia Miaoyuan rubbed his temples with his two chubby little hands, then ran to Xiao Wanyin's side, and took Xiao Wanyin to the courtyard.
Only the emperor and the empress were left in the inner room, sitting there in a daze.
They were both shocked. They had originally thought that the matter of exotic crops should be settled. But according to Xia Miaoyuan's opinion, Liang Chaozong would have the next move.
After the emperor and empress were silent for a long time, Xia Zhengqi took the empress's shoulders and spoke first: "Ruoyu, don't worry, we just need to follow Miaoer's words and not let down our guard."
"When the enemy comes, we will stop him with a general, and when the water comes, we will cover it with earth. There will always be a way."
The empress looked at Xia Zhengqi tenderly and snuggled in his arms.
...
Since Xia Miaoyuan entered the school, he felt that the days passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, another month had passed.
Since she skipped school last time, Xia Zhengqi thought about it carefully and arranged a more suitable course for her.
For example, he added a pottery class for her.
Without having to listen to the pedantic Mr. Yu's lectures, Xia Miaoyuan felt a lot more relaxed.
That day, she got out of school at noon, and she and Xiao Wanyin ran back to Kunning Palace like two little rabbits. As
soon as the two sisters entered the palace, they felt something strange.
Because there were several more palace maids in the courtyard than usual.
"Mother!" Xia Miaoyuan called, and she and Xiao Wanyin entered the main hall.
Looking up, the main hall was very lively.
The Empress was sitting in the middle seat, Rongpin was sitting next to her, and on the left and right, one on each side, sat two ladies in gorgeous clothes.
"Ah! Sister-in-law! The Tenth Imperial Aunt!" Xia Miaoyuan called out excitedly.
It turned out that the Crown Princess came to the palace today to pay respects to the Empress, and to visit her aunt Rongpin, and happened to meet the Princess of Jin who also came to the palace.
Xia Miaoyuan and Xiao Wanyin ran to the Crown Princess excitedly, touching and sticking to her belly.
"You two should be careful!" the Empress instructed. After
the two guys stuck to the Crown Princess' belly, they came to stick to the Princess of Jin's.
The main hall was suddenly filled with a joyful atmosphere.
"Haha, last time I was wondering whose belly was bigger, the sister-in-law's or the tenth imperial aunt's, and today you two are here together!" Xia Miaoyuan clapped his hands excitedly.
"Sister-in-law's is still bigger."
The Queen scolded: "Miao'er, Ayin, you should be quiet, you have to take care of pregnant women, women like to be quiet when they are pregnant."
"Oh, I see." Xia Miaoyuan and Xiao Wanyin replied awkwardly, and found a chair and sat down obediently.
At noon, four adults and two children had lunch together in Kunning Palace.
There was no class in the main hall this afternoon, so Xia Miaoyuan and Xiao Wanyin played with the Crown Princess and the Princess of Jin.
"Sister-in-law, the Tenth Empress, you should just stay in Kunning Palace today and leave tomorrow." Xia Miaoyuan said with her big watery eyes blinking.
"I want to stay with the babies for a while longer."
Princess Jin smiled and waved her hand: "Miao'er, I really can't today."
"I came to the city today to buy some things for the children."
"I'll go to the palace to pay my respects in the morning, and go shopping in the afternoon."
"Then stay in the palace for one night, and return to the imperial mansion tomorrow morning."
The Crown Princess also smiled and said: "I would like to stay, but I'm afraid your big brother won't agree."
Everyone laughed when they heard it.
Rongpin gently poked the Crown Princess's forehead and joked: "Chuyue, you girl, you've been married for almost three years, and your words are much more interesting!"
"Your words are full of honey, and they are so sweet!"
After Crown Princess Rong Chuyue married into the Crown Prince's Mansion, the couple lived in harmony and had a deep relationship.
The relationship between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess was even praised by the whole capital.
Under the nourishment of love, Rong Chuyue also added some charm of a young lady, more beautiful than before she got married.
"Ah, aunt, you are used to making fun of people!" The Crown Princess scolded, her cheeks slightly red.
In order to prevent Rongpin from continuing to tease her, the Crown Princess hurriedly changed the subject: "Tenth Emperor, you haven't lived in the capital for a long time, I'm afraid you will be a little unfamiliar with the streets and shops in the capital?" Princess Jin nodded
: "Yes!"
The Crown Princess smiled and said: "Why don't we be companions in the afternoon and go shopping together on the street."
"It just so happens that I can show you the way, and I will also buy some things by the way."
When Princess Jin heard this, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she couldn't suppress her joy. She was worried that there was no suitable adult to accompany her shopping.
"Of course I am willing to do so. But Your Highness, you are already in your advanced stage
of pregnancy, and I am afraid that I will tire you out." Princess Jin hesitated. The Crown Princess patted her bulging belly gently and said, "Don't worry, I am very strong, and I am not that delicate at all."
The two pregnant women immediately stood up and said goodbye to the Queen and Concubine Rong.
"I want to go too! I want to go too!" When Xia Miaoyuan heard that her sister-in-law and aunt were going shopping, she begged hurriedly.
She loved going out, but she was too young, so she could only go with the Emperor and Empress, or the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess occasionally.
"My dear Miao'er, don't join in the fun. Your sister-in-law and the Tenth Princess are going to buy things for the baby." The Queen advised gently.
Xia Miaoyuan pouted a little disappointedly, and said goodbye to the two pregnant women reluctantly.
On the other side, the Crown Princess and Princess Jin took the same carriage and drove all the way to the prosperous area of the capital.
The two let the carriage go slowly and leisurely looked at the shops on both sides through the window.
The Crown Princess has always lived in the capital and is very familiar with the locations of the shops in the capital. She instructed the coachman to go to the shops selling baby products.
After shopping for a while, the two bought a lot of things, put them all in the empty carriage at the back, and continued shopping.
Just as they were scanning the shops on both sides of the street through the window, suddenly, the miserable cry of an old woman came into their ears.
