Noble First Daughter-in-law

"Brother and sister, are you okay?"

Although it was just a short sentence or a few words, Yuwen Sui spoke very slowly, very long, and very heavy. Shang Ruyi felt inexplicably that there seemed to be an indescribable contradiction between the words. And helpless, as if someone was slowly cutting his heart with a dull knife.

She was silent for a moment and then said: "I'm okay. Thank you, brother, for thinking about me."

Yuwen looked at her for a while and said, "Okay, that's good."

After saying that, he stopped looking at her and turned to Yu Wenye again: "I thought that this time the second brother would lead the troops in the attack on the Song and Xu states. In this case, the third brother would go with the army and take more care of him. Unexpectedly, the second brother just sent Shen Tutai."

Yu Wenye smiled, but there was no trace of smile in his stern eyes, and said: "To attack the two states of Song and Xu, Shentu Tai is enough."

"..."

"As for the third brother - there is not much support in the army. Besides, if we really want to take care of him, my father will not let him go on an expedition and stay in the palace. Naturally, there will be someone who can take care of him."

"..."

"Let him go to the battlefield, just to let him experience and make meritorious deeds."

"This is true."

"not to mention,"

As Yu Wenye spoke, he put his arms around Shang Ruyi's still somewhat thin shoulders, pulled her into his arms with a little force, and said: "Now that Ruyi is pregnant, as her husband, I still want to Just stay by her side to protect her and look after her so that others don't take advantage of her."

Yuwen's eyes flickered slightly.

He tilted his head, as if he wanted to take a look at Shang Ruyi, but he held it back in the end. After a long silence, he said with a smile: "My sister and I are not only pregnant with your eldest son of King Qin, but also our father's eldest grandson. With so much beauty, who dares to take advantage of such a loophole?"

Yu Wenye said: "It's hard to say."

After saying that, he didn't wait for Yu Wenzui to respond, and said: "People's hearts are unpredictable."

This time, Yu Wenzhen's expression really changed.

Shang Ruyi thought he was going to say something else, but after being silent for a while, he did not answer the question again. Instead, he nodded lightly and said, "In this case, then - of course, we should protect and take care of her more."

Yu Wenye also nodded.

While they were talking, the footsteps under the city tower gradually faded away, and the people who came to see them off also let out a burst of warm cheers. Shang Ruyi was listening quietly to the conversation between the two of them, but now he couldn't help but look down at the city wall stacks again. Sure enough, he saw the last group of people walking out of the city gate and marching forward along the avenue. These soldiers were all as majestic as tigers. , The steps were heavy and steady, and the smoke and dust raised covered the sky and the sun.

The two people who were originally talking stopped in unison and looked forward together.

This time, most of the troops led by Shen Tutai were infantry. Of course, this is also in line with the current situation of attacking the Song and Xu states. These two places are covered with mountains and rivers and are not suitable for cavalry assault operations. What's more, if Fan Chengen cannot take the initiative to surrender, then it is very likely that Infantry is needed to siege the city, so in the smoke, you can still see some engineers driving vehicles and transporting some tall siege equipment components at the back of the team.

Seeing this scene, Yu Wenye seemed to suddenly think of something and said: "I heard that before the third brother went on the expedition, he found a nice mansion in Chang'an City. He found it for the imperial brother."

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat.

She suddenly remembered that when Yu Wenwen was canonized as King of Han, the emperor gave him the power to open a palace and build a tooth. However, several months later, he also experienced a battle in Taiyuan and was canonized as prince again. , but until now, he has not moved out of the palace.

Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, doesn’t even have a Crown Prince’s Mansion yet.

The power that the emperor gave him to open mansions and establish teeth was almost in vain.

Now that I heard that Yu Wencheng had found a mansion for him, I realized that he had not completely given up this power. Just mentioning this, Yu Wenzhen's eyes dimmed slightly, and then he smiled and said, "Yes, but the mansion is a bit dilapidated and has been being cleaned and repaired."

"I wonder when it will be built?"

"This will probably take about half a year."

"Half a year?"

When Yu Wenye heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a half-smile, "In half a year, Ruyi will give birth."

"..."

"If this is the case, at that time, I will take Ruyi and my children with me to the imperial brother's house to congratulate the emperor on his move."

Yu Wenzhen looked at him and smiled faintly: "At that time, it will be time to congratulate you, my second brother."

After saying that, he finally turned to look at Shang Ruyi, then at her obviously bulging belly, and then said: "Okay, now that the army has left, I have to go back to the palace to report this to my father. Let’s take the first step.”

Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi bowed their hands to him at the same time, and he bowed his hands as well, then turned and left.

|

In the next more than a month, because the army was marching and no more military reports came, Yu Wenye actually spent most of his time in Qianqiu Palace, accompanying Shang Ruyi.

During this period of time, Shang Ruyi's belly also grew rapidly. It soon became so bulging that he couldn't even wear ordinary clothes.

Fortunately, the weather has warmed up at this time, and everyone has changed into spring clothes. She does not have to carry a heavy winter coat with her big belly, but even so, movement gradually becomes inconvenient, and she wobbles when walking. , every time Yu Wenye looked at her back, he pursed his lips and smiled, but when asked why he was smiling, he refused to say anything. Until one day, Shang Ruyi accidentally looked back and saw her back reflected in the bronze mirror behind her. Know what he's laughing at.

The way he walks is like a duck!

Seeing this, she felt ashamed and refused to go out for a walk.

But how could Yu Wenye be so willful? Moreover, Su Qinglan, the imperial physician, had repeatedly warned that after her belly grows, pregnant women need to take frequent walks to facilitate future births, so no matter how busy she was before, Yu Wenye would definitely walk Qianbu next to her after eating. He walked a thousand steps on the corridor before giving up.

So he came over and took Shang Ruyi's hand: "Let's go."

"Don't go,"

Shang Ruyi turned his head and glanced at the bronze mirror next to him, and said angrily: "I don't want to go out and let people laugh at me when I'm like this!"

Yu Wenye immediately said: "Who is laughing at you? Who dares to laugh at you?"

Shang Ruyi raised his head and glared at him: "Who was laughing at me just now? Wasn't it you?"

"..."

Hearing this, Yu Wenye was a little short of breath, but when he saw her angry look, he felt a little funny in his heart, even more funny than when he saw her swaying when walking. In fact, no matter how much he urged Shang Ruyi to take a walk these days, Shang Ruyi inevitably gained some weight. It was not obese, but more plump than the thin appearance before, especially on his cheeks and chin.

This look looks full and round, and her eyes are also round and big. She is obviously a person who has been pregnant for several months and is about to become a mother, but it actually makes her look more childish.

He knelt down and looked at her like he was a child: "I'm not smiling anymore."

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi immediately stared at him again: "So you just laughed."

Yu Wenye said: "But I promise not to laugh."

Shang Ruyi said: "But you are already laughing!"

Seeing her start to act recklessly, Tusheer who was standing by could not help but feel a little worried. It was not that his young lady was being too much, but that His Highness King Qin had always been arrogant and arrogant, so how could he stop her from losing her temper like this.

Sure enough, seeing her being so arrogant, Yu Wenye also frowned.

Seeing him like this, Tu Sheer was startled and hurriedly wanted to step forward to smooth things over, but before she could speak, she saw that Yu Wenye was only silent for a moment, but still smiled and said: "Then what should I do?"

Tusheer immediately stopped.

"..."

And this time, Shang Ruyi was a little confused.

Yes, he won the fight, but what should he do?

Besides, what's the point of winning over such a trivial matter?

She hesitated for a moment and then said: "Then I won't go for a walk today."

I originally thought that this request should be granted naturally, but when Yu Wenye heard this, he still shook his head and said: "No. Imperial Physician Su and several other physicians at the Imperial Physician's Office have said that you must take a walk every day. This will do to you." Good for the body.”

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi became a little angry again and threw away his hand.

"you--"

At this time, Yu Wenye frowned.

At this moment, a burst of rapid and heavy footsteps suddenly sounded outside the main hall, but they stopped when they reached the outer hall. After a while, Chang Yuan hurriedly walked into the inner hall and reported: "Your Highness, King Qin, Shen Tu was heard from ahead. The general’s letter!”

Upon hearing this, Yu Wenye's expression changed and he stood up immediately.

And Shang Ruyi immediately forgot that she was losing her temper just now, and stood up too, but her movements were much more clumsy. Tu Sheer stepped forward to help her, and the two of them walked to the outer hall together, and saw Mu Xian and others were waiting outside with a letter in their hands. When they saw the two of them coming out at the same time, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Yu Wenye just waved his hand and took the letter, opened it and read it.

Shang Ruyi followed beside him. Because he stood far away, he could barely see a few lines on the letterhead. Obviously, there was not much content. However, generals who were on an expedition sent letters back. The shorter the letter, the bigger the matter. Sure enough, after reading it, Yu Wenye’s brows slowly wrinkled.

Shang Ruyi hurriedly asked: "What happened?"

"..."

Yu Wenye turned to look at her and said nothing. After only being silent for a moment, he folded up the letter and stuffed it back into the envelope, and immediately left with Mu Xian. After taking two steps, he stopped, looked back at Shang Ruyi, and then said to Tusheer: "Sheer, remember to accompany the princess to the Qianbu Corridor for a walk. It doesn't take too long. You can sleep after you come back. Nap.”

After saying that, he left.

Looking at his hurried away figure, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but frown: "What!"

Although the muttering was not loud, Tu Sheer, who was supporting her, could still hear her clearly and immediately said: "Maybe it's because the war ahead is not optimistic. Your Highness didn't tell the princess because he didn't want you to worry."

Shang Ruyi said displeasedly: "The more you don't say anything, the more worried I will be."

"..."

"Before, you told me everything."

"..."

Hearing this, Tusheer stuck out his tongue.

Although she didn't say anything, Shang Ruyi still caught a glimpse of this "strange look" from the corner of his eye, and immediately turned to look at her: "What are you doing?"

Tu Sheer was startled and immediately said: "No, it's nothing."

"You think I didn't see that you stuck out your tongue just now. Did I say the wrong thing?"

"No."

"Then why are you sticking your tongue out?"

"I, slave..."

"You guys, seeing that I'm pregnant, you can't do anything else except me."

The more Shang Ruyi talked, the angrier he became. He simply threw away her hand, turned around and angrily returned to the inner hall. How could Tusheer dare to be lazy? He hurriedly followed back, only to see that this man was so precious that no one in the entire palace dared to do so. The provoked Princess Qin sat on the couch, holding the corner of her clothes with one hand, and pressing her chest hard with the other hand, looking as if she was very angry.

Tu She'er stood beside him helplessly for a while, then thought of something, carefully made a cup of tea and brought it to her.

Then he said softly: "Princess, calm down."

Shang Ruyi immediately said: "Where am I angry? It's obviously you who made me angry."

"..."

"What were you doing like that just now?"

Tusheer hesitated for a while, then said softly with a grimace: "I just feel that the princess's temper has become worse recently..."

"what?"

Shang Ruyi was extremely angry but smiled: "Am I angry?"

While she was laughing, she was about to refute, but in the past, she had thousands of words to refute that could make this girl speechless, but at this time, not a single word came out. It wasn't that her tongue didn't work. But she suddenly realized that none of what she wanted to say stood up.

Suddenly there was silence.

"..."

This silence actually made her calm down a little. She looked down at the tea cup at hand. The tea in it was clear and transparent, making people feel more transparent. She picked it up and took a sip. The tea was fragrant and sweet. The slightly bitter tea flowed down her throat, and while it was warm and moist, it seemed to wake her up a bit.

She looked up at Tusheer again and said, "Am I getting angry?"

This statement seems to be self-confessed.

Tusheer seemed to be relieved, and immediately took a step forward, nodding vigorously to Shang Ruyi: "Yes!"

Seeing her like this, Shang Ruyi was about to get angry, but after saying those words, he couldn't get angry. He could only say angrily and with a smile: "You are suffering."

Tu Sheer hurriedly said with a cheeky smile: "How can I be so miserable as a servant? His Highness the King of Qin is here these days."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, Shang Ruyi's heart moved slightly.

Just now, she felt that she was full of grievances, being made fun of, and being left out. But after hearing Tu Sheer's words, she thought calmly - it seemed that it was indeed Yu Wenye who was tolerating her.

Could it be that my temper has really gotten louder?

why?

She vaguely remembered that even though Yu Wenye had never treated her badly, he had always had a cold temper. In the past, she was more tolerant, but now, even Tu Sheer, the most protective person around her, said that I'm losing my temper.

Seeing her deep in thought and a little confused, Tu Sheer immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Actually, Dr. Su had already warned His Highness Prince Qin and his servants that a woman's temper would get worse when she is pregnant. Your Highness, King Qin, please be more considerate and ask your servants to take care of you."

"..."

Shang Ruyi said nothing and drank tea silently.

The tea was long and fragrant, which made her feel clearer and clearer. She suddenly recalled that before she got married, it seemed that when her aunt told her those embarrassing private words, she also mentioned one or two words, when a woman is pregnant. She is easily irritable, especially since she is an impatient person. During the period of pregnancy, she even made her uncle lose weight. At that time, Shang Ruyi was only embarrassed by some of the things her aunt said on the wedding night, so she put these words aside. The back of my head.

Now that Tu Sheer said this again, she finally understood.

Could it be that my temperament has really changed because of pregnancy?

After drinking the tea in silence for a while, and then looking up at the cautious Tusheer, Shang Ruyi coughed lightly, put down the tea cup, and then stood up: "Get ready."

Tu Sheer was stunned and looked at her stupidly: "What are you preparing for?"

Shang Ruyi glared at her angrily: "Aren't you going to accompany me for a walk on the Qianbu Corridor? Why don't you change your clothes?"

"Huh? Hey!"

Upon hearing this, Tu Sheer's eyes lit up. Although Yu Wenye was a little angry just now, he still asked her to take Shang Ruyi for a walk before leaving. But she also had a headache and was afraid that Shang Ruyi would get angry again. , even if I grew up with her, it would be hard to coax her. Unexpectedly, she figured it out on her own this time, and immediately ran to open the box and take out the clothes happily.

Shang Ruyi quickly changed into a crimson skirt. Because it was newly made after her pregnancy, the waistline was much larger than ordinary clothes. It was loose and loose on her body, but it didn't feel uncomfortable. She felt like she had a big belly, and she just felt that the clothes were loose and comfortable, a bit full of spring.

After putting on the clothes, Tu Sheer put a rouge and pink scarf around her.

Then he said with a smile: "I know that Princess, you love beauty, but you don't like to show your big belly to others. Now with this shawl, you can block it in front of me when you have nothing to do, so you can't see it."

Shang Ruyi glared at her and then looked at himself in the mirror.

Although she is definitely no longer slim, compared to her usual pot-bellied and bulky appearance, she does look a lot lighter in this spring shirt.

He said: "Let's go."

So, Tusheer accompanied her out of Qianqiu Hall, and the two of them followed the path around Baifu Hall, and soon boarded the Thousand-step Corridor.

After spring, the scenery in the palace was better than when they took Shen Wuzheng and Pei Xingyuan to visit the inner court. Especially the flowers and trees everywhere were pruned and cultivated by the palace people. All the green leaves stretched, red flowers swayed, and there were bees. Butterflies dance gracefully among the flowers following the fragrance of flowers, creating a scene full of spring.

Seeing such a scenery, Shang Ruyi gradually forgot his previous displeasure and couldn't help but smile: "How can you know how beautiful spring is without going to the garden... huh?"

She was stunned, wondering why she suddenly said such a thing.

Where did it come from?

Just as she was wondering, she looked up and saw a person coming out of the corridor in front of her.

Shang Ruyi looked at the back and looked familiar, so he took two steps forward to see clearly, but the man quickly disappeared in front of him.

Who is it?

Just when Shang Ruyi stopped in surprise, she saw a piece of snow-white clothes floating behind the pillar in front of her. She subconsciously took two steps forward. As soon as she walked around the pillar, she saw a person sitting leisurely. There, at this moment, she slowly turned her head, and a pair of clear and beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with the tenderness of spring, looking at her with a smile and tenderness.

"What a wonderful one. How can you know how beautiful spring is if you don't go to the garden?"

The last day of 2023 is still spent in writing, which makes me feel more fulfilled, so I will update today.

Happy everyone!
