Mu Jinyu's face suddenly stiffened, and she smiled awkwardly: "Just a joke, just a joke, my uncle will not take it to heart because of the large number of people, so there is no need to bother my junior brother with this matter."
Just kidding, now the junior brother is protecting his wife like an eyeball. If these words get into the ears of the junior brother, he may not be able to live in peace for the next month, and he may be dragged up early in the morning to make sandbags by the junior brother.
At this time, "Uncle Master" was called smoothly...
Xia Luotong smiled meaningfully and didn't say much.
However, Mu Jinyu felt more and more unsure because of Xia Luotong's smile just now after she explained the criteria for marrying a wife.
Not to mention Mu Jinyu, even Si Hanyan on the side became curious. She didn't know what Xia Luotong had just thought. Just now she heard Mu Jinyu's words and felt that the situation was not good. Why did Xia Luotong laugh?
But in an instant, she saw Xia Luotong secretly winking at her, and she understood in her heart that she was going to ask Xia Luotong privately when she had the opportunity.
In fact, Xia Luotong didn't have to match Xi Menghan and Mu Jinyu. If they really didn't intend to, she wouldn't do anything more. But if they just didn't realize their feelings, then she couldn't sit back and watch them miss.
No matter how Mu Jinyu tried to insinuate him, Xia Luotong refused to tell him why he had laughed just now, which made Mu Jinyu scratch his head and worry about it more and more.
When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the palace, Eunuch Chang Xi, the personal eunuch beside the Queen Mother, had been ordered to wait here in person.
Seeing Xia Luotong's arrival, Eunuch Chang Xi's face was full of smiles and he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. He immediately led them to Cining Palace.
Xia Luotong was somewhat flattered that Eunuch Chang Xi, the empress dowager's personal eunuch, came to pick him up at the palace gate in person, because this meant that the empress dowager valued him particularly.
As soon as he left the palace entrance, Eunuch Chang Xi began to greet Xia Luotong. Then he glanced at Xia Luotong's flat belly in a vague way, then looked at Xia Luotong happily, and asked respectfully: " Why don't the princess go there in a sedan? My servant will arrange it for you, but don't be tired. You are still injured, so be more careful."
Xia Luotong felt relieved. She could clearly see the look in Eunuch Chang Xi's eyes just now. She was not injured in the stomach, but in the shoulder. Eunuch Chang Xi obviously knew that she was pregnant.
Eunuch Chang Xi knew about this, naturally because the Queen Mother knew about it, which meant that Wu Zechen had already told the Queen Mother about her pregnancy.
As the most powerful and trustworthy father-in-law beside the Queen Mother, Eunuch Chang Xi naturally knew many secrets that others did not know, otherwise he would not be able to serve the Queen Mother well, so Xia Luotong was not surprised by this.
Seeing that Eunuch Chang Xi was so cryptic, we knew that Eunuch Chang Xi knew that this matter could not be made public for the time being. However, the Queen Mother was worried about Xia Luotong, so she asked Eunuch Chang Xi to wait at the palace gate. It was obvious that she had been waiting for a long time, otherwise it would not have happened. As soon as they arrived, they saw Eunuch Chang Xi waiting there.
Although it is the good intention of Eunuch Chang Xi, you cannot sit on this sedan, because not just anyone in the palace can ride in the sedan, especially when people from outside the palace enter the palace. The hierarchy is still very strict.
In particular, Xia Luotong's injury was not caused by her feet, nor could she move around. If she rashly took the sedan chair at this time, it would arouse suspicion in others. If she tried to investigate herself because of this, she would lose more than she gained. What's more, in her condition, she couldn't walk On the contrary, it is good for your health.
Xia Luotong declined Eunuch Chang Xi's kindness and walked towards Cining Palace while chatting with Eunuch Chang Xi.
In the Cining Palace, the Queen Mother was talking to Wu Zechen with a smile on her face. When she saw Xia Luotong coming, the smile on her face became even more unbearable: "Tong'er, come to the Imperial Grandmother quickly!"
Xia Luotong stepped forward with a bright smile. As soon as he sat down next to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother took her hand and patted her. She couldn't hide the smile in her voice: "Okay, okay! This is a great event! Imperial Grandmother. It’s really what I’ve been looking forward to!”
Xia Luotong's face had already turned crimson. How could she not know the meaning of the Queen Mother's words? Although this was a step that normal couples would take, this was her first time and she was inevitably a little embarrassed.
There were no outsiders in the hall at this time, only Eunuch Chang Xi was waiting on him, so there was no need to worry about anyone listening.
"Grandma Huang heard what Chen'er said. Since you want to hide it from outsiders for the time being, then I will follow you. But you have suffered so much this time, so you have to cultivate yourself well. Otherwise, you will have to suffer when the time comes. It's time." The Queen Mother had a look of concern on her face, and then told Eunuch Chang Xi, "When the princess leaves later, go to the warehouse to pick up all the supplements that the princess can use."
It could be seen that the Queen Mother really cared about her, not just because she was pregnant with the child, but she still hurriedly said: "No need, Imperial Grandmother. There are also a lot of supplements in the palace, enough for Tong'er."
"How can that be done? The ones in the palace are definitely not as good as the Imperial Grandmother. You have to take good care of yourself when you go back. If you need anything, talk to the Imperial Grandmother."
The Queen Mother insisted, but Xia Luotong couldn't help it. She glanced at Wu Zechen and saw him smiling and nodding, and then she agreed sheepishly.
The Queen Mother saw Xia Luotong's eyes and said with a smile: "These are given to you by the Imperial Grandmother. You don't need your prince's approval. You can just accept them yourself."
Seeing Xia Luotong smiled and nodded, he looked at Mu Jinyu and said, "Jinyu, come and check Tong'er's pulse to see what the situation is now. It was still falling into the river at that time. It's such a cold weather , I really suffered."
The Queen Mother felt extremely distressed and urged Mu Jinyu to check her pulse on the spot.
Mu Jinyu said helplessly: "Queen Mother, Jin Yu has checked the princess's pulse in the past two days, and the master has also checked the princess's pulse in person in the past two days. The princess is in good health."
The Queen Mother felt relieved after hearing this. The current and next owners of Baihua Valley had personally confirmed it, so the Queen Mother was naturally relieved and stopped worrying about the matter.
Xia Luotong took this opportunity to reveal Wu Zechen's physical condition to the Queen Mother. Although Si Hanyan was present, she spoke more cryptically, but the Queen Mother still understood. The smile on her face became brighter and she was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear. .
The Queen Mother only felt that today was a great day. She had received such good news one after another. She only felt that today might be the happiest day for her in the past few years.
However, this happiness did not last long. Just when everyone was chatting and the atmosphere was just right, the queen and the prince suddenly came uninvited...
