"My body is getting heavier during my pregnancy, so I shouldn't overwork myself. Besides, I don't like trouble. Therefore, I hope that all the nuns below will be more careful and watch over my work."
Ningxi wants to beat them while she still has enough energy. People are only interested in profit, not to mention that in this harem, it's all about who they choose.
After the people in Yongfu Palace dispersed, Ningxi couldn't help but feel tired.
After coming to Dai Viet Dynasty for so many years, her life became more and more luxurious than she could have imagined. She entered the palace as a concubine and received a salary that she could not spend every month. She thought they had discussed in the dormitory during college how much the concubines' monthly silver was worth in RMB. I also read some information and did the conversion with everyone.
Now, she has become the one who pays everyone a monthly salary. She really wants to say that fate is playing tricks on people.
She was the only general lady in the Great Northwest General's Mansion. Her parents loved her and doted on her, and her brothers even loved and protected her as an older sister. These good lives made her almost forget that she was originally a dove occupying a magpie's nest. people.
The old man originally emphasized right and wrong cause and effect, but she had heard it a lot when she was young. Now she was thinking to herself, why did she come here, and what cause and effect would she have.
"Master, the emperor is here!"
Before Ningxi could come out of his thoughts, someone came from below to report that the emperor was here.
After Xiao Chengyan finished handling political affairs, he thought of Yongfu Palace for a moment, so he came over to take a look at her. As a result, I didn't see anyone when I went to the inner hall. After asking, I found out that she had come to the side hall.
Ning Xi hurriedly collected her thoughts and hurriedly stood up. By the time she got up, Xiao Chengyan had already hurried to the side hall.
"I can't take any time off at this time." He said in a helpless tone, wanting her to rest more, but~
Xiao Chengyan learned that she had been staying in the side hall for a long time and was afraid that something would happen to her. In the past, when he pushed the palace affairs to her, she always made excuses to shirk them. Now, Xiao Chengyan couldn't bear the thought of her getting pregnant for him. You have to worry about things in his harem.
However, he could not find anyone he trusted as much as she did.
No one should believe it if they had experienced something like that, but she was the only exception.
Xiao Chengyan retracted his thoughts and stepped forward to hold her hand in person, leading her slowly back to the inner hall, keeping the same pace as hers.
After returning to the inner hall, Ningxi asked, "Your Majesty, why are you here at this hour? Have you finished handling the government affairs?"
It was a rule that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. Xiao Chengyan almost forgot about it, "The courtiers have been very well-behaved recently, and there aren't many things that need to be bothered."
In fact, he has been in a good mood recently and is in high spirits during happy events. He really has not experienced the feeling of being a father. An ordinary person at his age should be the father of three or four children.
He has always shown that he doesn't like children, but in fact he still cares about them in his heart.
He has always been attached to the sibling relationship, otherwise he would not have fallen down many times in the hands of his imperial brother. However, as time went by, he was pushed to the cliff again and again by the so-called sibling relationship. At this point, he no longer felt attached to it, and slowly his whole heart They all became cold and hardened.
After learning to play tricks on people, they no longer look forward to the relationship between men and women. But I didn't expect that one day, as the monk said, my heart would be heated.
The last thing the children of the royal family need is the word love. The imperial grandfather was defeated by the word love. He valued love and righteousness, and the word love came first. For the sake of a woman, he did not distinguish between king and minister, and the country almost gave up to that woman. The father died for the rest of his life. I have been hiding it my whole life.
Sitting in the position of the Nine-Fifth Lord is said to have supreme power. However, he cannot intimidate the ministers in the court and has to endure their manipulation.
He saw his father's suffering in his eyes, and he only hoped that his children would no longer have to be oppressed by courtiers when they took over the Dai Viet Dynasty.
At least during his lifetime, his children would not have to be like him, who had to bear the humiliation and bear the burden of taking over the country from his father, be threatened by others, and even a woman had to be manipulated by others, which was extremely cowardly. They don't need to subvert the imperial power, but the power they hold in their hands can make other princes flock to him.
Xiao Chengyan gently stroked Ningxi's slightly protruding belly with one hand, and then hugged Ningxi tightly with both hands. Ningxi felt that he was a little unhappy now, and lay quietly in his arms.
Neither of them spoke, and their breaths were harmonious in the quiet air.
However, the tenderness between the two did not last long, and Ningxi's stomach began to churn.
"Gulu——"
It was actually quite embarrassing to growl with hunger in front of a man, not to mention that Ningxi still liked the man in front of her, so it was inevitable that there was a trace of shame on her face.
"The child is hungry." Ningxi hurriedly explained.
Xiao Chengyan was afraid of offending the person in his arms, so he coughed and suppressed his smile, hugged her and sat down on the low stool by the window.
The snacks on the table were put on yesterday. Today, Ningxi went to the side hall early. Only designated people can enter the inner hall. As a result, everyone was assigned out today, and no one dared to come in. In the morning It looks the same as it looks now, and naturally the snacks on the table are no longer fresh.
"I'll go outside and ask someone to bring you some food. Although you can't be greedy, you can't starve my little baby, right?"
Ningxi saw that Xiao Chengyan looked normal and was talking to her in a doting tone. He had a conscience and knew not to laugh at her as a pregnant woman, otherwise she would appoint him to look good. In this way, her mood became surprisingly better and she was obedient. Nodding at him.
Xiao Chengyan stood up from the stool as soon as he went out of Ningxi. After working all morning, his buttocks were a little painful from sitting, so he still needed to move around more.
Ning Xi stroked her belly as she walked. How much appetite did this little brat give her? Why did her stomach growl at this moment? It was embarrassing for her in front of men.
When the emperor spoke, people in the small kitchen naturally started to move hurriedly. After a while, Xiao Chengyan entered the inner hall and called for someone.
Ningxi was excited when she smelled the aroma of the food. She had never been hungry before, but now she felt an inexplicable urge to cry. She was moved to tears by the food in front of her, uh——
For a moment, Ningxi didn't know what to do!
