In the East Palace, Shu Yuwan's pregnancy is completely stable. Speaking of which, the East Palace is actually cleaner than the Anding Marquis Mansion.
She was the only one in the East Palace, not even a concubine.
The servants of the East Palace were cleaned up when the prince was poisoned. They were checked again when she found out she was pregnant. Most of the servants around her were brought from Shufu. People who have used them for many years can feel safe using them. .
Back in the Anding Marquis Mansion, An Shaoyu's aunt and the aunts of An Shaoyu's two brothers were intermingling with each other. The pregnant aunt often dropped the child when she went out.
The chores in the east palace were left to Ah Qing. On Yue'er's side, since Qing Dai found a few little girls of about the same age to play with her, Yue'er didn't need Yu Wan to accompany her. Children are more likely to be with children. Have common interests.
Yue'er wears two little ones, wears a big red coat, and has a pair of big eyes. She looks like a little boy sitting down with Guanyin. She chases a ball with a few children, but her running is not stable and fast. If you have to fight, you have to wrestle.
Shu Yuwan didn't ask the maid to help her. She sat on a small stool nearby and encouraged, "Yue'er, can you get up by yourself?"
Yue'er blinked her big eyes, then jumped up and giggled loudly.
Shu Yuwan was happy to see it and praised: "Yue'er is awesome!"
Yue'er happily continued playing ball with her friends.
When the prince entered the door, he saw Shu Yuwan smiling. Her bright appearance softened and her mood improved.
He walked up to Shu Yuwan and asked, "How are you feeling today?"
Yuwan smiled and said: "It's good. The child is not troublesome at all."
Yue'er and her friends were rolling the ball so happily that the prince didn't even notice when he came over. The prince wanted to go over and play with Yue'er for a while, but was pulled back by Shu Yuwan: "Let her play with her playmates. If you go over, the children won't be able to let go."
Yue'er's playmates are all a little older than Yue'er, and they haven't seen the prince very often. When the prince comes, he will feel restrained.
The prince stopped and said helplessly: "Okay, then I will go for a walk with you?"
"good."
Shu Yuwan got up and went out with the prince for a walk in the garden.
"Wanwan, is Yucheng going to take the scientific examination this year?" the prince asked.
Shu Yuwan nodded: "Second brother, before..."
"Something happened and I was hit hard. I have no ambition to take the imperial examination. It was only after I and I left that my second brother started picking up books again. I don't know if I can win this time."
"But my second brother used to be very good at reading."
The prince nodded: "I heard Yu Yang say that Yu Cheng used to be as good at studying as him."
We won't know until the exam is over.
Shu Yuwan changed the subject: "I heard that Concubine Shu often visits my father recently."
Living together in the palace, Shu Yuwan still knew this news.
Speaking of which, the emperor's harem did not actually have many concubines.
After Queen Xiaoxian left, the post has been vacant. Now that Concubine Zhang is banned, there is only one concubine Shu and one concubine Xian in the harem.
The prince said, "Gu has been living by his father's side since he was a child, and he has seen a lot of Concubine Shu. She is a very proud person, and she didn't expect to bow to her father this time. Gu thought she would have to wait for a while, Only when Father can coax her, can Concubine Shu let go of this matter."
Shu Yuwan's eyes flashed after hearing this.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Shu Yuwan asked: "Has His Highness arranged someone in Concubine Shu's palace?"
The prince shook his head.
"Does your Highness have a suitable person?"
The prince asked doubtfully: "You mean?"
Shu Yuwan nodded: "Whether it is King Cheng or King An, although they have gone to the fiefdom, Concubine Zhang and Concubine Shu are still in the palace. Since Concubine Shu is abnormal, we must always be on guard."
The prince nodded: "I am alone in the palace, and there are some people. I will leave everything to you."
Shu Yuwan looked at the prince in surprise: "Your Highness?"
The prince smiled softly: "You haven't married Gu yet, but you have been planning for Gu in every possible way. Now that you are married, and you have Gu's legitimate children in your belly, can Gu still not trust you?"
"Also, why did you start calling him Your Highness again?" The prince's eyes were filled with condemnation.
The prince could actually feel that Shu Yuwan was a little distant from him, and there was no fundamental difference from before they got married.
He used to feel very comfortable getting along with Shu Yuwan, but now, he doesn't really want this feeling. He wants to go further. He hopes that Shu Yuwan can trust him and rely on him, and the two of them can understand each other.
Shu Yuwan took the initiative to hold the prince's hand: "Ah Jin."
The prince was finally satisfied.
...
Lou Yin and his people wandered around famous mountains for more than two months and found several traveling doctors who were good at poison.
"Your Highness, we have brought him back." Lou Yin sounded excited.
King Cheng looked at the people standing below, including men and women, old and young, all dressed in strange clothes. He couldn't tell what abilities these people had.
"The poison I want is nontoxic and tasteless. It cannot be detected by silver needles or by doctors. Do you have it? As long as you have it, I will reward you with a lot of money! You can also stay in my palace to work from now on, and I will keep you waiting for the rest of your life. No worries about food and clothing.”
The few people below looked at each other and exchanged glances, and then the old man among them stood up and said: "Yes, yes, but we don't want a lot of money. We want Mingshan to be our territory from now on, and we want to transfer those who are now entrenched in Mingshan. People, drive them all out.”
King Cheng said without hesitation: "Yes."
But he didn't care whether it was a small mountain or a place with such harsh conditions.
