Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 429
Before dinner, Emperor Chen returned to Yuxiu Palace. He knew that Su Qingning's mood was not very good recently.

At the beginning, I thought it was because the pregnant woman was emotionally unstable, but after a period of observation, Emperor Chen found that Su Qingning's mood was more restless.

Judging from the current situation, there should be nothing that would make her uneasy, so Emperor Chen was very puzzled.

He also asked tentatively, but he didn't find anything. The emperor could only try his best to think of various ways to ease Su Qingning's uneasiness.

It's a pity that she is pregnant now, so it's not suitable to travel, otherwise, she can be taken out of the palace for a walk.

For today's dinner, apart from the two brothers, the eldest princess is also there.

Recently, the Eldest Princess often came to Yuxiu Palace for meals. At the beginning, Concubine Lu followed her, but after a long time, she became a little embarrassed.

After all, the emperor would come back to Yuxiu Palace every day, it was nothing for her to come once or twice, after a long time, and always catch up with the emperor, it was inevitable that some people would gossip about her.

So when the Eldest Princess wanted to go to Yuxiu Palace, she would send someone to take the Eldest Princess there, and after she finished her dinner, she would send someone to pick her up.

With the children around, Su Qingning's mood would ease a lot. After dinner, the emperor walked with her on the path outside Yuxiu Palace with the children.

Today is still quite long, and every child is accompanied by palace people, so they don't worry about what happens.

Emperor Chen held Su Qingning's hand and walked slowly. The two of them didn't speak for a long time, but they didn't feel dull.

"Ningning, what's the matter with you recently?" When walking back, Emperor Chen finally asked Su Qingning.

Before, he was asking tentatively, but today he was straightforward. Although he didn't expect her to say anything to him, Emperor Chen felt that asking straightforwardly might be better than hiding it.

"Don't worry, your majesty, I'm fine with you." She said with a smile, Su Qingning seemed to be fine, but there was some emotion in her eyes.

Seeing her uneasiness, Emperor Chen stopped, and stretched out his hand to hold Su Qingning in his arms.

"Ning Ning, there is nothing that you can't tell me. Instead of hiding those things in your heart, you might as well say them out. It's better to share with two people than to suffer alone."

"Or... If you feel that you can't say it, when you want to say it, you can write it on paper and send it to me, okay?"

Coaxing her softly, Chendi's voice was unprecedentedly gentle.

Su Qingning leaned in his arms, and for him, she only felt hot eye circles.

"En." She replied in a low voice, although she still couldn't say anything, she couldn't bear to reject the emperor's words.

The two stood hugging each other for a while, then Emperor Chen let go of her, interlocked his fingers with her, and slowly returned towards Yuxiu Palace.

When they arrived outside Yuxiu Palace, the two watched the palace servants take the eldest princess away, the emperor ordered Zhou Chengren to follow, and when the eldest princess was brought to Concubine Lu, he was returning to Yuxiu Palace.

"Right now, Huier likes her two younger brothers so much. If your baby is a princess, Huier will be happier." Right now, the two brothers are still young and can play with the eldest princess.

In the future, when the two brothers grow up, they may not be able to play with the eldest princess.

If Su Qingning's child is a princess, she can play with the eldest princess in the future. Girls always have a lot to say.

"My concubine also hopes that this child will be a princess." Having two sons and having a daughter is the best thing. If there is a chance... in the future, it would be nice to have another daughter.

Here is ancient times, there is no family planning, as long as the care is good, it is no problem to have a few children.

…………

Since Shen Xiao reached an agreement with Zhishu, Zhishu and Zhihua began to help Shen Xiao speak, or contribute to the flames, both openly and secretly.

With the matchmaking of the two, there is really some progress between Shen Xiao and Gu Sheng.

Recently, there was a lantern festival held in Bianguan City, Shen Xiao invited Gu Sheng to go to the street to watch the lanterns together.

Instigated by Zhishu and Zhihua, Gu Sheng, who hadn't worn women's clothes for a long time, finally changed into women's clothes.

When Shen Xiao saw Gu Sheng's female attire, he was stunned.

Although Gu Sheng's appearance was not the most beautiful, he had his own charisma.

It is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and in Shen Xiao's eyes, Gu Sheng is the most beautiful.

The two left through the back door. Gu Sheng didn't want to reveal his identity, so he asked to leave through the back door. In this way, few people would know that she was wearing women's clothes and that she was a woman.

Shen Xiao didn't care about this, as long as he could be with Gu Sheng, everything would be fine.

The two went to the street together. Today's Bianguan City is very lively, and there are many pedestrians on the street.

The gate of the city has already been closed, and all the people in the city are the people in the border city.

On the way, Gu Sheng met many acquaintances. She was not used to it, so she hid here and there.

Looking at Gu Sheng who was hiding in the dark, Shen Xiao felt a little helpless. In front of him was the newly married young general with his new wife.

If Gu Sheng stood in front of the two of them, the young general might not recognize Gu Sheng. His wife definitely knew Gu Sheng. After all, all women in the tribe knew Gu Sheng's true identity.

Most of the tribal women who were placed in the border are already married, even if they have children, some don't mind and are willing to marry her.

They all knew the identity of the child, but so what, they were still young and told him since childhood that he was his biological father, and he would not know anything.

After finishing speaking with the young general and his wife, Shen Xiao looked at the place where Gu Sheng was hiding, and waved at her.

"Actually, you don't have to be so nervous. Your appearance in women's clothing is not the same as before. Most people would never think that you are Counselor Gu."

Opening in a low voice, talking to Gu Sheng, Shen Xiao hoped that she could relax a bit.

They came out to watch the Lantern Festival, not to hide from others. If she was so nervous, it would also affect her.

"No, I still don't feel at ease. If I knew that if I didn't listen to Zhishu and Zhihua, I would just wear men's clothing."

Uncomfortably tugging at the clothes on her body, Gu Sheng felt a little awkward. Originally, she planned to wear ordinary clothes to go out, but unexpectedly, Zhishu and Zhihua insisted on making her change into women's clothes.

She also said that if she was wearing women's clothing, she would definitely faint General Shen. She didn't know what to think at the time, so she listened to the two of them. Now that she thinks about it carefully, it's pretty good, why would she faint Shen Xiao!
"It looks pretty like this, really." After hearing Gu Sheng's words, Shen Xiao smiled and said, Gu Sheng looked at him, always felt that there seemed to be something in his eyes, which made her a little dizzy.

She turned her head quickly, not looking into Shen Xiao's eyes, that appearance made Shen Xiao secretly happy.
