The world is heavy and late

Chapter 218 Surprise
Xia Qing looked at the food box that Qiao Huan brought back and sighed deeply: "You can't do this, how can I lose weight?"

"...Aunt looks thinner now than before." Qiao Huan was ready to deal with it.

Xia Qing: ... There is a little bit of happiness.

"You sent Shao Lian yourself?"

"Yes, the servant is afraid that she will be bullied by those people."

Qiao Huan replied to Xia Qing's words while serving dishes, and sat down by himself after tidying up, waiting for Xia Qing to use his chopsticks.

Xia Qing couldn't wait a long time ago, this day was Lou Sizheng and Shao Lian again, she just wanted to stay in the house by herself and no one came.

"Ji Ling has been sent out of the palace?"

Qiao Huan also followed Xia Qing to move her chopsticks. She picked some of Xia Qing's favorites first, and then started to use them herself: "Yes, I used it to my father-in-law and granddaughter."

Xia Qing nodded and said, "It depends on her ability. After she completes the preliminary accounts and details, you and Xiang Cang will be responsible for this matter together."

Qiao Huan paused with his chopsticks, and Xia Qing kept saying, "Xiang Cang looked at the whole Weiyang Palace and the internal and external news. It's complicated and trivial. You need to work hard on this matter."

While talking, she couldn't help sighing: "The empress's family background is too poor, if there is an older and capable aunt, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

Qiao Huan finally said, "I think my aunt is very good."

Xia Qing held the chopsticks and laughed twice, then turned around and looked at Qiao Huan as if looking at a novel scene: "You are really good at talking today, is this the golden lotus with the tongue that others said? Or sugar-coated cannonballs?"

Qiao Huan's expression didn't change much: "This servant is telling the truth."

Xia Qing smiled and stopped joking: "I can't stay with her all the time, I can't wait to leave the palace today, and make a pair of wild mandarin ducks with my sweetheart, and fly wherever I want, as long as they are like glue, I feel that the world is full of spring, You don’t have to think twice about every word like today, every day is full of trifles, and before going to bed, you think about ghosts in the palace, even if you have great ability and spirit, you will be worn out sooner or later.”

Didn't Qiao Huan just know that Xia Qing hated the filth in the palace, but every time she heard about it, she was always disappointed and terrified.

Xia Qing thought of something again as she spoke, and she was a little discouraged: "Aunt Qiu is capable, but she is clearly willing to take care of the children. She may not want to intervene in the matter of the harem."

Qiao Huan didn't know how to speak, and Xia Qing never expected to get a response from Qiao Huan.

After the two finished their meal hastily, Xia Qing began to teach Qiao Huan to read Liu Si's notebooks.

The dim oil lamps, no matter how much they were lit, really didn't feel bright, so Xia Qing only had a few lamps left and put them around the desk.

Qiao Huan looked at Xia Qing holding the booklets from the past few days and talking about the doorway inside, a little dazed, it turned out that it had been many years, Bai Yuncanggou, Chuer passed away, Qiao Huan remembered what Xia Qing once taught This word is just as it should be.

Xia Qing looked up and saw that Qiao Huan was in a state of ecstasy, and stretched out his hand to wave in front of Qiao Huan's eyes. Qiao Huan woke up and immediately said, "Your servant is distracted."

Xia Qing understood what it was like to miss out in class, but she just glanced at the booklet in her hand and had some small questions in her heart: Is my lecture really so boring?
Before Xia Qing's career as a teacher started, doubts had already arisen.

……

Except for a few restless people, the influence of the emperor's departure from the palace was that the previous court was still stable. All the papers were submitted to the Ministry of Zhongshu. It is very typical, Zhang Zhi will also take it to let the prince make up his mind, or teach the prince.

The harem is even more aggressive. Those who think that the emperor is not there and the empress is weak want to take advantage of it and clean it up. Maybe Xia Qing is right. In this place where everyone wants to struggle, only such thunderous methods can get immediate results .

Xia Qing's reclining chair is in front of the window, the weather in November is really cold, but Xia Qing and Gu Weiyun especially like to open this window, sit on the couch by the window, drink tea and talk outside.

Qiao Huan stood outside, silent on both sides with the first lady of Weiyang Palace. The first lady of Weiyang Palace was not a taciturn person, but Qiao Huan didn't talk much, just lowered her head, and most of her mind was on what Xia Qing taught these days On things, occasionally watching Xia Qing's movement in the hall.

Now all the maids in Weiyang Palace know that Qiao Huan is under Xia Qing's sect. Whenever Weiyang Palace needs to take care of the aunt, Qiao Huan will always come forward six or seven times out of ten.

And in this Weiyang Palace, except for the queen, there is no one who surpassed Xia Qing, not even the Second Highness, if someone said something in the ear of the Second Highness, Gu Weiyun would directly kill him.

As the tide rises, no one dares to offend Qiao Huan.

The grand maid has been quietly observing Qiao Huan. She usually hears the Empress Empress or some female officials praise this not-so-good maid. In fact, she doesn't seem to be anything special, at most she should be more stable?

But with her head lowered every day, she looked no different from the little palace maid who had just entered the palace and was afraid of offending others. She followed Aunt Xia Qing every day and did the same work as her, serving tea and water. In front of the empress, Qiao Huan was only in front of an aunt in charge.

The palace lady is actually quite unconvinced, she feels that she is Gu Weiyun's confidant, not to mention that she is on the same level as Xia Qing Xiang Cang, at least slightly inferior, why is she not as good as Qiao Huan in every way, no matter in the empress, Xiang Gonggong, the sixth female official or Wei Young In the eyes of the maids in the palace, he is not as good as Qiao Huan?

The maid of honor was still observing Qiao Huan carefully, but she saw Qiao Huan suddenly set off into the hall, and then she looked into the hall, only to see the empress patted Aunt Xia Qing on the back with a strange expression on her face, and Aunt Xia Qing turned her head outward, Coughing ceaselessly, she also wanted to move to follow, but thinking of Gu Weiyun's usual orders, she still stood outside peacefully after all.

Qiao Huan was also shocked, wondering what the Empress and Aunt Xia Qing were talking about, why Aunt Xia Qing suddenly choked while drinking tea.

Xia Qing was really choked, she was determined not to eat casually when Gu Weiyun was talking next time, why did she always ask at this time, "Are you serious?"

Seeing Qiao Huan coming in to take over her actions, Gu Weiyun leaned back slowly, stretched out his hands to touch his stomach, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Well, the imperial physician just told me today."

Qiao Huan glanced at Gu Weiyun, a little bit shocked in her heart, she and Xia Qing moved their eyes to Gu Weiyun's stomach, Xia Qing said: "You don't come here, it's been more than a month at least, can you have a little bit?" Feel."

Gu Weiyun laughed, and then nodded under Xia Qing's unbelievable eyes: "I had some guesses a while ago, but I didn't tell you when I saw you were busy discussing the Textile Bureau. When the diagnosis is confirmed, it will not be too late to tell you."

Xia Qing picked up the teacup and took a sip of water. She felt that something was wrong in her heart. Gu Weiyun was pregnant and gave birth to a child, so she was afraid to do anything. She thanked Xu Zhong again, she really didn't want to get pregnant and have a child.

After drinking two sips of tea, he regained his composure, swept his eyes and said, "No wonder you didn't drink tea these days, and you said you couldn't sleep at night."

Gu Weiyun patted his stomach lovingly and said, "Didn't I tell you? Don't bring up those old accounts."

"Ah!" Xia Qing sighed a long time and said, "I'm not turning over the old score, I'm just afraid of your pregnancy. I always feel that I'm the one who suffers most from your pregnancy. Your Majesty is not in the palace now. You want me to be pregnant?" what to do?"

Gu Weiyun didn't care: "Even if I am pregnant, Your Majesty will not stay in the palace."

Xia Qing was silent, because it was true.

Gu Weiyun was clearly immersed in the joy of being a mother again, she even turned her head and said joyfully and shyly: "You said that after giving birth to Ningning, I would have to wait at least a year before I could conceive again, Your Majesty only stopped the imperial physician half a year ago. What about the medicine I prepared."

Xia Qing looked at Gu Weiyun's stomach that showed no signs of depression and said: "You should write a letter to tell His Majesty about this surprise, and hope that he will finish his business and come back quickly. Manager Xu and I can't last long. It is dangerous to think about it when you are young and then pregnant."
