Chapter 169 A woman's heart under the sea needle 2
What is she still angry about?
Xiao Qi's face also darkened all of a sudden, and now he finally understands why it is said that a woman's heart is like a needle in the sea.

He didn't even feel so embarrassed when dealing with the government affairs of the court.

Si Jin's due date is September, and it's already July now, her belly is getting bigger and bigger, her movements are sleepless and slow, and her mood will become more irritable as she gets to the later stage.Si Jin looked at Xiao Qi who was sitting under the lamp with a black face, and she was not in the mood to coax him at the moment, it would be good if she could take care of herself.

Recently, the queen mother has been making frequent moves, the Qiao family outside is in a precarious situation, and Qiao Lingyi in the palace is watching.In addition, there are noble concubines supporting Su Rui, not to mention the daughters of King Li's family filling the harem. Now that she has calmed down, Si Jin realizes that her position is actually very dangerous. With one swipe, she might fall into the abyss.

Either, Si Jin and Xiao Qi were tightly tied together, or they took this opportunity to silence themselves.Xiao Qi has promised her child to be raised by herself, since he said so, he will definitely do it.So, Si Jin was wondering whether she wanted to continue to compete with others for favor, or choose the goal of having a son to be the queen mother in the first place?
If you choose the latter, it is naturally the best choice to retreat bravely now, show weakness to others, and then retreat to a corner, waiting for the opportunity.Of course, the premise is that she has to give birth to a son.The situation in the palace is so chaotic, and Xiao Qi has an unusual feeling for that lovely flower. Si Jin has reached this point, and she has no way to be a calm concubine.

Xiao Qi couldn't afford what she wanted, so whatever she did to embarrass herself was also embarrassing him.As long as her father and brother are still capable in the previous court, she will not be very sad in the harem.In addition, if she is really determined to plot against others, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.After all, she couldn't take human life as nothing like the ancients did, so she really couldn't take the initiative to do harm.But actively defending, she can still do it.

There was Xiao Qi before, but in the future she will probably have to rely on herself.

Si Jin leaned against the soft pillow with her stomach upright, and after thinking about it, she fell asleep just like that.

When Xiao Qi turned around and wanted to have a good talk with Si Jin, he met a sleeping face.

Bending down to pick him up and put him on the bed in the room, Xiao Qi saw that Si Jin showed no signs of waking up.If you look carefully, you can see that her eyes are black and blue, it must be because she didn't sleep well.When I took off her shoes before, I found that Si Jin's feet were swollen a lot. Thinking of this, I lifted the quilt again and looked at her legs, and sure enough, they were also swollen.

The imperial doctor said that it is normal for the heel and legs to have this phenomenon in the later stage.He took a pillow and put it under Si Jin's legs, the imperial doctor said it would be more comfortable.Si Jin is not a person who likes to complain, but seeing her working so hard to bear his heir, Xiao Qi felt that he should not show his face at night.

In the middle of the night, Si Jin had a cramp, and sat up uncomfortably, rubbing the cramped place with her hands.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Qi was awakened by Si Jin's voice, and quickly sat up, and when he lifted the quilt, he saw an abnormal bulge on Si Jin's leg.

"Leg cramps." Si Jin gritted her teeth and said, "It's okay, it's normal, it'll be fine in a while, you go to sleep, you have to go to bed early tomorrow."

"I'll rub it for you, is that okay?"

Xiao Qi's big hand was naturally stronger than Si Jin's, and the strength was just right, allowing her to breathe comfortably.After such a toss, Si Jin was sweating all over, the weather was hot, and because she was pregnant, she didn't dare to use ice in the house.Xiao Qi didn't come to stay overnight two days ago, it was Yunshang and Huarong who were on shift to fan her to keep cool.

Xiao Qi was here tonight, although Si Jin really wanted to let them in without breaking the can.But in the end, I still failed to pass my test. Not to mention the unbearable heat, my legs and feet were swollen and cramped in the middle of the night.Leaning on the pillow, Si Jin looked at Xiao Qi sideways to her and lowered his head to seriously pinch her legs, it was so handsome.In a short while, beads of sweat dripped down his cheeks from his forehead. In the small gauze tent, each other breathed and entangled with each other. She was really reluctant to let him go like this.

Why are you so nice to her.

Xiao Qi kept pressing until the abnormal bulge on his leg disappeared, then he was slightly relieved, took the handkerchief and wiped his face, only then did he feel that his whole body was as sticky as if soaked through, which was very uncomfortable. Comfortable.Thinking of this, he suddenly looked up at Si Jin, and sure enough, he saw that her temples were wet with sweat, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

He changed into a clean veil, wiped her face, helped her to lie down again, and raised his hand to take the feather fan on the bedside table.The feather fan was shaking slightly, and the cool breeze was blowing. He looked at her and said, "Go to sleep."

Si Jin hurriedly closed her eyes, afraid that after playing for a while, he would see her crying.

It is not easy to know that it is difficult to conceive in October.I watched Si Jin's stomach beating up day by day with my own eyes, and watched her walk around the yard with difficulty walking around the yard with her belly upright.Seeing that her formerly fair face was covered with layers of sallow, and her eyes fell on her swollen legs and feet again, she remembered the sudden cramps just now.

Could it be that when he didn't come a few days ago, she kneaded her cramped legs alone in the tent at night?When it's hot, I don't know if someone will come in to fan her. The weather is so hot, and I don't know if she has a good meal...

After thinking about it so carefully, Xiao Qi realized that he really hadn't taken care of her in such detail for quite a while.The case of the treasury, Qian Dingsi, Xiaolongwei, the six ministries, and the cabinet do not know how many things are piled up on the desk every day. In the harem, since the queen mother returns, there are also many things. Dismantle.There is also a beautiful girl from Mingxiu Palace, and her cousin...

There have been too many distractions recently, plus it seems like he is angry with Mr. Si Jin, and he always thinks of one, two, three, four in his mind.As a result, she had a wrong eye, and she didn't know how much she had suffered when he didn't see it, and she never said a word in front of him.

Only now did Xiao Qi realize that he was actually wrong, why did he have to think clearly about one, two, three, four?
Although he is still not a talker in the court, but now the power is gradually withdrawn, and the military system in various places is gradually tightened and restructured. After the reorganization, the military power of the Dayu Dynasty will no longer be divided.Even though aristocratic families are in control of government affairs in various places, this time the imperial envoys going south is a signal. Whether they can succeed in paving the way for the future depends on the results of the suppression of local government treasuries this time.What's more, after the autumn harvest, the taxes and food from Juehu County were filled into his private treasury. As an emperor who was gradually getting rich, he could be a bit willful.

So, why does he have to be the same as before, he must think about how others will react to everything he does?He is the emperor, and he shouldn't be the emperor looking at the faces of his courtiers.

The first seal of the harem should be a good time for him to test the various families.

What's more, Si Jin worked so hard for her to give birth to a child.If after the draft, he still wants a bunch of people to show off his power on her head, how can he be worthy of Si Jin's painstaking efforts for him in the past two years?How to be worthy of her friendship with him.

He was wrong.

In her sleep, Si Jin felt a slight itchiness on her forehead and couldn't help reaching out to scratch it, but she heard a faint laugh.It's just that the cool breeze is blowing slowly, and the sleepiness is gradually sinking, and I really don't have the energy to open my eyes to see what's going on.

When she woke up in the morning, Si Jin realized that her clothes had been changed, and her body was refreshed and comfortable, without the sticky feeling when she woke up in the morning.

After calling someone in, Si Jin asked Yun Shang, "When did the emperor leave?"

"It's been an hour, and the emperor said that the master is awake, and he will go to the side hall of Chongming Hall for lunch."

Si Jin was taken aback, she hadn't been to the side hall of Chongming Palace for a long time, ever since the imperial concubine stayed with her in that room, Zi Jin never liked to go there again, always felt that the taste was not right.

How could you let her go to the side hall again?Si Jin really didn't want to go, so she lowered her face and said to Yun Chang, "You tell Chen De'an to go, just say that I'm not in good health and can't serve you."

After hearing this, Yun Chang's expression changed slightly, but she couldn't help persuading, "Master, the emperor's order is hard to break, what if someone else takes the opportunity to enter if you don't go?"

Si Jin chuckled, "Silly Yunshang, can the emperor still guard me all the time? You can just say so."

Yun Chang left with a dark face, and Si Jin didn't ask Huarong to comb her hair into a bun, but casually put her hair behind her head, without wiping anything on her face, and went to eat with a plain face like this.

The breakfast was as rich as ever, but Si Jin didn't have much appetite, but thinking about the baby in her belly, she still picked up a little of everything.In this way, you can eat eight full.After eating, she didn't go for a walk in the yard under the sun, and leaned lazily on the imperial concubine's couch, with Jinzhi playing the fan behind her, Huarong brought honey water and a few snacks on the small table.

Si Jin held a volume of books in her hand, and she always felt that things like prenatal education were very reliable.So I hold a copy of "The Doctrine of the Mean" and read it carefully all day long, thinking that no matter whether I have a son or a daughter, if I can learn to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, I can live well in this harem.

Therefore, even if she doesn't like "The Doctrine of the Mean", she still has to read it for an hour and a half every day.When it comes to pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, she, a little white flower in disguise, can also score sixty points.

Even sometimes, I am disgusted by myself and can't continue to pretend.So, acting skills really test people.

Soon Chen De'an came back, the emperor at the Chongming Palace didn't reply, he had a bitter face and didn't know if the errand was done well.

Si Jin waved him back, thinking that Xiao Qi might be upset for a while, and deliberately made things difficult for Chen De'an.But it's true, she asked people to answer her like this, so she naturally wanted to see other people's faces.

If she didn't go, someone else would go to Chongming Hall around noon.Si Jin doesn't want to worry about these things now, so after thinking about it, she said to Hua Rong, "You can go to Qi Ronghua and ask, I'll come over at noon to bother you, is she free?"
