Chapter 186 Contemplating Pregnancy
It turned out that since Wen Niang was sentenced to death, the queen was afraid that the third prince would cause trouble again, so she sent people to guard the third prince's mansion.
As for the letter, the third prince didn't know anything about it and it was delivered directly to the queen.
The Queen looked at the letter and smiled gracefully, but there was a dazzling cold light in her eyes. She clenched her fingers unconsciously, and the long and pointed red gold armor sheath made a light scratch on the wooden chair.
She was not unaware of this Shen Sisi thought at the time. Shen Sisi was the only legitimate daughter of the Duke's Palace at the time, and she was Han Rou's daughter. She relied on the General's Palace for help. If the emperor really liked it, she would accept her as his concubine. It's quite appropriate.
But later, Shen Shensi was revealed to be the adulterous son of Shen Zhifeng and his wife, and Han Rou left the Duke's mansion. Fortunately, she heard that the emperor was no longer interested in her, and she eventually married into the Duke's mansion. So I didn't care.
She is already someone else's wife. She didn't know how to avoid suspicion when she heard the rumors outside. She even dared to shamelessly come here to deliver the message. This bitch.
So a decree went down and Shen Sisi entered the palace.
On the way, he thoughtfully asked the eunuch who announced the decree: "Eunuch, I don't know why the queen suddenly announced that the minister's wife has entered the palace, but for what reason?"
The eunuch glanced at her and said coldly: "Mrs. Shizi will know when she arrives at Kunning Palace."
Now the contemptuous eyes and tone made Shen Sisi freeze up, because the attitude of the eunuch who announced the decree actually represented the attitude of the queen.
She knew that she couldn't ask anything, so she could only silently follow the eunuch all the way to Kunning Palace, thinking that the empress had probably heard the recent rumors and might not give her a good look.
It's a pity that the third prince was grounded by the emperor, otherwise he could still be expected to save him.
Shen Shensi sighed imperceptibly, entered Kunning Palace with anxiety, and knelt down on the ground: "Greetings to the Queen, she may live a thousand years."
But there was no response from the top of my head, only the sound of the tea lid rubbing the tea cup.
The queen gently blew on the hot air and tasted the fine Tieguanyin. Then she closed her eyes and fell asleep a little tiredly. The nanny behind her immediately stepped forward to massage her temples gently, while the palace maid gently shook them. The queen's expression relaxed a little when she turned on the palace fan, and for a while the whole palace could hear a needle drop.
Shen Shensi kept kneeling in a prostrating posture, but gradually lost her strength. After waiting for a long time, the queen did not want to wake her up, so she could only grit her teeth and shout again: "Greetings to the queen, she will live a thousand years."
At this time, the queen seemed to have woken up from a dream, and said apologetically: "Isn't this Mrs. Shen from the Hou Mansion? Why did she make no sound when she came? Please get up quickly and sit down."
"Thank you, empress." Shen Shensi's face was a little pale. When he stood up, his eyes went dark. His body swayed for a while, and then he sat down on a chair on the side.
The old nun beside the queen smiled and joked: "Mrs. Prince is like the cat my mother raised. She walked in without paying attention."
"That's right." The queen smiled, and the red gold phoenix hairpin on her head shone brightly in the light: "It's a pity that the cat is unwilling to be lonely. It's not good to keep it well in the palace. It always wants to run outside. It has already He was executed by me. Well, the Crown Prince’s wife can come to the palace to accompany me more often when she has time."
"Thank you for your love, I will obey your instructions." Shen Shensi lowered her head, understanding that the queen was warning her to stay in the Marquis Mansion.
A palace maid came over and threw the letter into Shen Sisi's arms.
The queen looked at the armor set in her hand casually and said softly: "Mrs. Crown Prince's calligraphy treasure must be put away. Don't accidentally let it wander outside and ruin your reputation."
Shen Shensi glanced briefly, turned pale with fright, and immediately knelt back: "Your Majesty, this is not written by my wife. I know that I am very different from the third prince, so I don't dare to make any mistakes. I ask your Majesty to take a closer look. .”
"Why did Madam Prince kneel down again?" The Queen sneered: "I am tired and need to take a rest. Since Madam likes to kneel so much, she should go kneel outside first."
Shen Shensi was kneeling outside Kunning Palace like this. The sun was getting stronger and she felt dizzy, and she fainted not long after.
When I woke up again, when I opened my eyes, the person sitting next to me was Jiang Lin. Seeing that she was awake, his expression showed a rare concern recently: "Sisi, do you feel better?"
Shen Shensi's eyes were sore, her nose twitched, and she shed tears.
"Don't cry, don't cry. Sisi, you have to be careful not to get too excited. You are a twin now. The imperial doctor just left and told you to take a good rest. The Queen also gave you a lot of supplements. come over."
They didn't know what Shen Sisi went through in the palace. They only heard that Shen Sisi suddenly fainted in Kunning Palace. The queen called the imperial doctor. After taking a pulse, she realized that she was pregnant and asked someone to carry her back.
"Your Majesty, are you saying that we have a child?" Shen Sisi murmured, touching her belly in disbelief. It was still very flat and there was no movement.
She thought to herself that this was such a good child. As soon as she came, she escaped the Queen's punishment and made Jiang Lin pay attention to her again. So she stopped crying and carefully covered her stomach and asked softly: "That child Is everything okay?"
"Don't worry, it's okay. You just need to be careful in the first three months..." Jiang Lin gently repeated the doctor's words and pinched the corner of the quilt for her.
Looking at Jiang Lin who was so considerate, Shen Sisi's tears couldn't help but fall down as he told the strange letter.
Jiang Lin immediately sent someone to investigate, and it was easily found that Jiang Miaodan was responsible.
So he lost his opportunity and chose a bride for Jiang Miaodan, then locked her up in the mansion and refused to let her out to cause trouble, just waiting for her to get married.
When Jiang Miaodan heard that he was going to marry out of town, he originally wanted to make a fuss, but when he found out that the other party was the second son of the governor, he calmly embroidered the dowry in his room.
Jiang Lin breathed a sigh of relief. Now Shensi was focused on raising his baby. Hongyu and Liumei took turns serving him. The Marquis Mansion had calmed down. He could finally start to seek a higher position with peace of mind.
"Miss, I heard that the Ministry of Justice is being targeted this time." Hanshuang told Shen Qingyun all the recent information.
Shen Qingyun raised his head, with deep thought in his eyes: "The marriage of the governor's second son may not be that simple."
She didn't believe that Jiang Lin could suddenly find such a good match for Jiang Miaodan.
Hanshuang nodded: "Young lady is really good at predicting things. The governor's second son said that he was weak and looked like he was going to die, so he wanted to find a girl with a strong life to marry him."
Pearl blinked aside, thinking of Jiang Miaodan's fighting ability, she suddenly felt that she was quite suitable.
"Reveal this news to Jiang Miaodan." Shen Qingyun did not show too much expression and turned to ask Xiang Si Moli about the matter.
Hey, he smiled, and took out a envelope: "Miss, how can you expect anything, this is what the Lord gave you, saying that everything there is smooth, and when you help the mountain bandits, you can return to Beijing."
