However, before Huang Qiong took down his chopsticks, the girls just looked at each other and did not move their chopsticks first. It wasn't until Huang Qiong picked up a pair of chopsticks that the girls began to eat one after another. Seeing that the girls were still somewhat restrained, they were reluctantly doing the coquettish things that only ladies would do. No longer showing any trace of the heroic spirit of Jianghu children, Huang Qiong shook his head slightly, but didn't say much.
Although the girls are acting like this, Huang Qiong doesn't like it. He prefers the women around him to live a more free and easy life and maintain their true nature. But he also knew that he was now at the British Prince's Palace in the capital, not his imperial envoy's residence in Zhengzhou. In the capital, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at you, and every move you make will be magnified countless times, looking for reasons to attack you.
And although the emperor currently adopts a default attitude, based on his understanding of his own emperor, he knows that the emperor may not really agree with the women. Especially now that he is still obsessed with matching himself with the prince of Guilin County, he may be looking for excuses to force himself to dismiss the girls. After all, in the emperor's mind, the background of Jianghu people was too low.
Maybe I have always thought that if girls from the Jianghu family entered the Heavenly Family, it would bring disgrace to the Heavenly Family. It doesn’t even take much, just an excuse that the tutor is incompetent and the girls don’t know etiquette is enough to drink a pot of water by yourself. Although he said he was not afraid, if the emperor did not settle the score with him and instead started to attack other women, it would be a harm to these women of his.
Thinking of the imperial edict given to him by the emperor when he was in Zhengzhou, Huang Qiong was somewhat worried. He is the king of a country, and it is simply too easy to get the girls away from him. Excuses are probably even easier to find than the officials on the streets of the capital. It is not easy to let all the girls remain silent in the heavenly home and completely disappear in this world.
He doesn't want the woman around him to get hurt in any way. Even if Yi Ying's four subordinates are with him now, they are his women. It is his responsibility as a husband to at least let them live a quiet life for the rest of their lives. So even if Huang Qiong doesn't like it, the girls can only acquiesce in their current behavior.
I thought carefully, in order to appease the girls who were also a little anxious when they first entered the palace. Huang Qiong personally served food to each woman. But when he picked up a piece of Yellow River carp with chopsticks, He Yao suddenly felt nauseated due to the smell of the fish meat that Huang Qiong put in the bowl, and left the dining room in a few steps.
Myolie Zhu, who was next to He Yao, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when she saw He Yao, who had always been healthy. Then he looked at Huang Qiong who looked anxious next to He Yao. After giving Huang Qiong a comforting look, he hurriedly followed him out. Although they are now sisters, He Yao is the master who brought her up and taught her martial arts. She has been an orphan since childhood and is her only relative.
Seeing that He Yao was feeling a little uncomfortable, Myolie Zhu was also extremely nervous. Huang Qiong was also startled by He Yao's sudden discomfort. He remembered that when He Yao was in Zhengzhou, his favorite food was the Yellow River carp. Just because although Zhengzhou can be regarded as guarding the edge of the Yellow River, the distance of more than a hundred miles makes the carp in the river really not cheap.
The carp in the Yellow River has been said since ancient times that river carp and bream are as valuable as cattle and sheep. In other words, a Yellow River carp can even be worth the price of a cow. Even if you stay on the edge of the Yellow River, the carp in this river is not something ordinary people can afford. Carp in other rivers are much cheaper, but the taste is still much worse than that of Yellow River carp.
But even though He Yao likes to eat but is frugal by nature, after following the prince Huang Qiong and not having to worry about food and clothing, He Yao is still reluctant to waste extra money to buy something she likes. Just because the water cools down in autumn, the price of Yellow River carp is much higher than usual. When I was in Zhengzhou, I only occasionally ate with Huang Qiong twice.
He Yao's temperament is very frugal, and even has a sense of having no desires or desires. Even though Huang Qiong asked her to take charge of money and property when she was in Zhengzhou, she never spent a penny randomly. He has never bought anything for himself privately. This is what Huang Qiong feels most sorry for He Yao, so when he came back this morning, he told Li Hai to find a way to buy the freshest Yellow River carp.
He Yao, who has always liked eating Yellow River carp, didn't even have time to take a bite today. He just smelled the fish meat. Why was it so abnormal? Huang Qiong, who didn't know what happened to He Yao, quickly took the fish away from He Yao's bowl. After thinking about it again, he was worried and simply asked Li Hai to change a bowl for He Yao.
Originally, Huang Qiong wanted to go out together to see what happened to He Yao. But now Myolie Zhu has followed her out, and Huang Qiong can’t follow her out, so she can only wait anxiously in the dining room. He Yao, who was pale, returned to the dining room with the support of Myolie Zhu. Looking at He Yao who looked very unhappy, Huang Qiong hurriedly asked her what was wrong.
Hearing Huang Qiong's concerned tone, He Yao, who didn't want everyone to be disappointed, hurriedly stopped Huang Qiong's move of asking people to find Dr. Li, smiled and said: "It's okay, I think I have been traveling too much in the past two days. I just ate I'm a little anxious, and my stomach feels a little uncomfortable. Today is the first day for everyone to enter the house, and it's also a rare reunion dinner, so don't ruin everyone's fun, let's eat first."
Seeing He Yao's somewhat forced smile, she must be feeling uncomfortable, but she doesn't want to ruin everyone's interest at this time. Huang Qiong, who had always attached great importance to He Yao, could only temporarily suppress his concern. It's just that although He Yao didn't want to spoil everyone's interest, they all knew that Huang Qiong had always treated He Yao differently, and none of the girls were interested at this time.
After everyone had finished their meal, Huang Qiong, who had been thinking about He Yao's health for a long time, also hurriedly put down the chopsticks in his hands and asked Doctor Li to be invited over. When Dr. Li finished taking He Yao's pulse, he told Huang Qiong some great news. He Yao's current discomfort and rejection of the smell of fish are not because there is something wrong with her stomach, but because she is now pregnant.
Huang Qiong was so excited that she almost jumped up when she heard the good news. Huang Qiong was devastated for a long time because she was unable to keep her first child. How could Huang Qiong not be overjoyed when she heard that she now had another child? Despite Dr. Li's repeated explanations, He Yao's sensitivity to the smell of fish was just a temporary phenomenon during her first pregnancy. This condition will gradually disappear when the fetus stabilizes.
Huang Qiong, who was worried about gains and losses, thought that He Yao was a little old and it was her first child, so she forced Dr. Li to prescribe a lot of supplements to He Yao. Even though Dr. Li repeatedly assured that He Yao was born in the year of either Ox or Tiger, he was indeed very strong and had no problems at all. As long as you eat normally, you don't need to take any supplements at all.
Moreover, taking too many supplements may not be beneficial to the fetus, so Huang Qiong did not care. It wasn't until Huang Qiong almost drove Dr. Li crazy. Under Huang Qiong's repeated pressure, he had no choice but to follow Huang Qiong's instructions and prescribe a bunch of supplements that pregnant women could take. Only then did Huang Qiong finally let go of Dr. Li's chest. Hands on clothes.
After Dr. Li left, Huang Qiong picked up He Yao, as if holding a treasure, and carefully carried the beauty in his arms back to the house, and placed her on the bed to feel at ease. It wasn't that Huang Qiong was too nervous, but what Dr. Li said about her wife being either an ox or a tiger, and very strong, reminded Huang Qiong of what Dr. Li had said about Chen Yao.
But he has not yet woken up from the joy of becoming a father for the first time. Chen Yao and the one in her belly were already separated forever before the baby was born. Not only did he lose a lover forever, but he also lost a child whom he never even got to see. Losing his beloved wife and son all of a sudden, the impact of that incident on Huang Qiong was extremely unforgettable.
During this period, every time Huang Qiong thought of Chen Yao, she secretly hated herself if she had been more decisive. Insist on going to Wuliangguan alone to pick up the person, or change it to the next day. Even if they were more cautious, Chen Yao and her son would not have died. With Chen Yao's lessons learned, how dare Huang Qiong be any more careless?
At this time, He Yao, even though the arrival of this child had always been her dream, she was still so ashamed that she buried her face in Huang Qiong's chest and refused to lift it up. It wasn't until Huang Qiong was gently placed on the bed that she raised her head and looked at Huang Qiong with a blushing face, as well as the other girls who were following him with the same uneasiness. Just when he was about to get up, Huang Qiong held him down again.
Huang Qiong personally took off her shoes and covered her with the quilt, then she said to Mrs. Liu who rushed over after receiving the news: "Sister-in-law, from now on, Sister Yao will be the number one in our Prince's Palace." Honey, she must find a few smarter girls to serve her here. Although there are many women around me, none of them have experience in this area. Please ask my sister-in-law to take more care in the future."
Regarding Huang Qiong's request, no, to be precise, it was a plea. He had personally experienced Chen Yao's pregnancy, but due to the assassination, both the adult and the child were not saved. He also saw with his own eyes how distraught Huang Qiong was. Knowing that Huang Qiong had finally given birth to a child again, Mrs. Liu, who paid much attention to the pregnant Mrs. He in front of her, naturally agreed.
After putting down He Yao in her arms, Huang Qiong stood up and said to the girls around her: "From now on, Sister Yao will be in charge of all internal affairs in the house. It's just that Sister Yao is pregnant now, so some things are inconvenient to do. , and you should not be too tired. Wanqing and Xing'er, you two should help Sister Yao to share more. If you don't understand anything, ask Madam Sister-in-law, or ask Princess Jing for advice."
"When it comes to major matters, you and Sister Yao will discuss it, and Sister Yao's opinion will be the main one. However, Sister Yao is pregnant now. You two should share more of the burden for Sister Yao, and you must not let her get tired. As for the maid, My wife’s monthly payment and other trivial daily matters should be left to my sister-in-law to take care of.”
At this time, she was looking at He Yao with envy. She remembered that after learning that He Yao was pregnant, Huang Qiong looked at her like a treasure, and her eyes were full of little stars. After hearing Huang Qiong's instructions, After nodding, he shook his head in shame and said, "Master, we don't want to take care of the house, but we also want to give birth to your child. Master, can we leave the housekeeping matters to the other sisters first?"
Looking at the two girls' expressions of shyness, envy, and sincerity. Looking at the other women around him, they also looked envious. Huang Qiong laughed and said: "It's a great thing to have children for me. However, if you are all pregnant, who will take care of me? You are still young, just come one by one. This is ours. Home, it’s okay if you don’t care.”
"It is said that the male leads the outside and the female leads the inside. You can't all be busy having children and leave all the affairs of this big family to me. Don't worry, sooner or later you will get what you should have. Give it to you. None of you can escape the birth of this prince. However, you are still young now. When you are in a few years, um, after twenty-four, even if you don’t want to give birth to this prince, you won’t be able to escape.”
