Noble First Daughter-in-law

More than two months have passed since the hawthorn cake incident, and Yu Mingyue has not had any trouble. Of course, from the surface, the hawthorn cake incident seems to have nothing to do with her, but Shang Ruyi knows that there can be No one else but her had such courage to join forces with Aunt Hui to commit murder in the palace, but that incident ended in Yu Wenye's gain and their failure.

Then, most of the power in Aunt Hui's hands was taken away, and she no longer dared to act rashly.

But Yu Mingyue really never caused any trouble.

Shang Ruyi doesn't believe that she has settled down. This person has no sense of awe and is even more daring. It is impossible for her to give up her goals just because of a slight failure. On the contrary, her tranquility these days is more like a A kind of calm before the storm.

Just thinking about this, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but frown.

Tu Sheer and Chang Wan, who were on the side, were originally happy, but suddenly saw the joy on Shang Ruyi's face gradually dimming, and instead showed a look of worry. The two people immediately became nervous, and even Eunuch Yu asked cautiously. Said: "Princess, what happened?"

"Ah."

Shang Ruyi came back to his senses and raised his head to meet the concerned and worried eyes of everyone.

She couldn't help but smile in her heart. Even if Yu Mingyue really wanted to do something, for them, it was just a matter of soldiers coming to block the water and covering up the water. It was useless to worry, but it would affect her fetus.

Thinking of this, she looked down at her belly again. In just half a month, her belly had grown a lot. Now when she stood up, she couldn't even straighten her waist. She couldn't even see her toes when she lowered her head. Shang Ruyi dislikes looking in the mirror more and more. Even if Yu Wenye repeatedly coaxes her to say that she is not bulky or ugly, she is not willing to face her paunchy appearance.

It would be nice if this child could be born sooner.

So he smiled lightly and said: "It's nothing, I just think - it would be great if I could give birth to this child earlier."

When Tusheer heard this, he immediately frowned.

Before she could say anything, an unhappy voice sounded outside the hall: "What are you talking about?!"

Everyone turned around and saw that it was Yu Wenye who strode in from outside with a box in his hand. As soon as he saw him, a smile immediately appeared on Shang Ruyi's face, and he immediately explained: "What I mean is that if this child is born early, if he is a boy, he can also practice military training and serve the country in the future. Father, please share your worries."

Yu Wenye glared at her, and then Chang Wan stepped forward and took the box from Yu Wenye's hand with a wink. Eunuch Yu didn't even look at the box. He hurriedly stepped forward to salute and congratulate Yu Wenye. Yu Wenye smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law."

"This slave dare not speak of suffering."

Eunuch Yu said with a smile: "Your Majesty also has a decree. Tonight, there will be a banquet in the Qinqin Building behind Baifu Palace. Only the King of Qin and the Princess will be there. You two, this is a great favor!"

Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi looked at each other and both said: "We will definitely go to the banquet on time."

Eunuch Yu then resigned with a smile.

As soon as he left, Yu Wenye took off his coat - the weather was already very hot at this time. As soon as he took off his clothes, a warm breath rushed towards him, and Shang Ruyi couldn't help but pick up the After fanning twice, Yu Wenye smiled and shook his head, then walked to the other side of the couch and sat down farther away from her. After Chang Wan put the box on the table, she hurriedly made him another cup of tea.

Shang Ruyi lowered his head and glanced at the familiar box: "This is again -"

Yu Wenye laughed. Originally, he came back early because he got the good news and wanted to share it with Shang Ruyi. However, because he was stopped by someone to say a few words when he was passing by Jin Yuyuan, he came back a little later. I heard Shang Ruyi's "nonsense".

While drinking tea, he said, "Ruoyan gave it to you."

When Shang Ruyi heard this, he immediately reached out and opened the lid. As expected, there were two pieces of red hawthorn cake inside as before.

Due to the half-year confinement, Chu Ruoyan probably had nothing to do. In addition to the promise made to her before, she asked Shang Food Bureau for some ingredients from time to time. Shang Shanju probably also knew that she had taken the responsibility for someone else, so There was no embarrassment, they were sent diligently. Chu Ruoyan made a lot of snacks these days, and her craftsmanship was getting better and better. Even Shang Ruyi enjoyed the blessing and ate a lot of snacks sent from Jinyuyuan.

This hawthorn cake is just the thing to satisfy your cravings.

Just when she was about to reach out to pick it up, she suddenly found that today's box was taller than usual. After thinking about it, she went to take it down again, only to find that there was another layer underneath, with two crystal-clear horseshoe cakes stacked on top of it.

Shang Ruyi said: "This is -"

Yu Wenye put down the teacup, glanced at the horseshoe cake, and said solemnly: "She made this extra."

"Oh?"

After the hawthorn cake incident, Su Qinglan gave them a more detailed recipe. Shang Ruyi remembered that pregnant women eating some water chestnuts in moderation is good for the fetus, but they should not eat too much. These two pieces are just right. . I just felt that Yu Wenye's tone was a bit solemn, so I asked him: "What's wrong?"

Yu Wenye was silent for a while and said, "This is what the Queen Mother used to like to eat." Shang Ruyi immediately understood that Chu Ruoyan missed her mother.

Being grounded for half a year, the loneliness and helplessness seemed to outsiders to be just a pool, but only those who were in it knew how cold and suffocating it was. No matter how much Shang Ruyi sympathized with her, he could not empathize with her, but from Chu Ruoyan Those things she made, she could probably understand the suffering in her heart these days. At times like this, people always hope for the safety of those close to her, but even if the people close to her are not far away, it is difficult to see them.

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but sigh and slowly closed the box.

Yu Wenye said: "Why don't you eat?"

Shang Ruyi smiled and shook his head, handed the box to Tu Sheer to take it away and put it away, and then said: "I'm not very hungry now. Besides, my father will give a banquet later, so we'd better go take a bath early." Get ready to change."

Yu Wenye smiled and said, "It's still early, so you're already busy."

Although he said this, at Shang Ruyi's urging, he still got up, and the two of them went to bathe and incense themselves, and then changed their clothes. After getting everything ready, just when Yu Wenyuan was dazzling, the two of them stepped on the fiery red sunset. Guang walked towards Baifu Hall.

When passing by the entrance of Jinyuyuan, Shang Ruyi took a special look inside.

The doors and windows are still closed here, but faintly, it seems that a deep sound of the piano can be heard, making people cry like they are complaining.

Shang Ruyi's mood became heavier, but she didn't say anything more. She just followed Yu Wenye and continued walking forward, passing through several palace gates, and finally arrived at the Qingqin Building at the back, bypassing Baifu Palace. It is a two-story building. Although the floor is not high and it is not as spacious and bright as the Baifu Palace, it is extremely exquisitely built and the furnishings are quite gorgeous. It is somewhat small and exquisite like the southern palaces.

When the two of them climbed to the second floor, they didn't expect that Yu Wenyuan had already arrived and was standing by the window looking at the scenery.

Shang Ruyi was shocked. You must know that when the emperor gave a banquet, the ministers should have arrived first to wait for the emperor. Today, they arrived even later and asked the emperor to wait for them. Both of them immediately went forward to kowtow and apologize. Yu Wenyuan Looking back, he smiled and waved his sleeves indifferently and said: "There is no need to be so polite. I have nothing to do today, so I came here early to enjoy the breeze. This place is comparable to Liangyi Palace and Taiji Palace. More transparent.”

After saying that, he asked the two of them to sit down and asked Shang Ruyi with a smile: "How are you?"

Shang Ruyi said hurriedly: "Apart from being a little hotter these days, I don't feel anything wrong. My father has given me so many supplements that I can hardly eat them."

Yu Wenyuan smiled and said: "If you can't eat it, just keep it. Wait until you have the baby, and then slowly supplement it."

After caring about Shang Ruyi, he turned to look at Yu Wenye and said: "Shen Tutai is very good at fighting. I thought he was a strong general who can charge and kill the enemy. Unexpectedly, he is also quite strategic and can It’s really gratifying to win Xuzhou so easily.”

Yu Wenye said hurriedly: "It was because of my father's fame that the general of Xuzhou collapsed without a fight."

Yu Wenyuan stroked his beard and laughed.

He would not be carried away by a victory and the flattery of his son, but this victory did make him very happy. If he could win Songzhou without any blood, he would have achieved the goal of taking Luoyang. A big step forward.

So he picked up the wine glass and said, "Come, have a drink with me first!"

Yu Wenye immediately raised his glass and drank with him.

Because she was pregnant, Shang Ruyi naturally couldn't drink alcohol, so she just sat aside and watched them. After the father and son had two drinks, various dishes were served one after another. The emperor gave a banquet. Even for such a small family banquet, the dishes were extremely exquisite and full of color and aroma. In addition, there was no Yu Mingyue talking nonsense at the banquet today, and there was no need to deal with other officials. Shang Ruyi was not too nervous, so he was a little nervous. I had an appetite, so I ate a few bites of the food.

While eating, they talked about the next arrangements.

The maids serving around him also kept serving several plates of dishes and snacks one after another. Shang Ruyi saw that one of the plates was a crystal clear water chestnut cake.

Shang Ruyi's heart suddenly moved.

She took a sip of the soup and looked up at Yu Wenyuan. Seeing that he was happy at the moment, she said softly: "Father, I have a gracious invitation."

"Oh?"

Yu Wenyuan still looked at her with a smile: "What do you want?"

Hearing Shang Ruyi suddenly speak, Yu Wenye frowned slightly and his eyes fell on the plate of horseshoe cake on the table, seeming to understand something. Shang Ruyi had already said softly: "My son will give birth in more than two months. In order to have a smooth delivery, I want to go to the Buddha to pray for blessings."

Yu Wenyuan said: "This is not impossible. But those temples are far away, you-"

Shang Ruyi said: "My son wants to go to Dayan Temple to pray for blessings."
