Chapter 795

Ah Shuo immediately raised her voice, "Mrs. Xia."

Xia Shi said: "I came here uninvited, I hope I didn't disturb you."

A Shuo said: "How could it be that Madam Xia is here, but it's too late for my Lord Hou to be happy. Master Hou is in the room, madam, please come in, and I'll make tea."

After saying that, Ah Shuo withdrew.

When the Marquis of Shang opened the door, he saw Mrs. Xia walking into the yard.

Xia looked up and saw him, and saluted him slightly.

Shang Hou said: "Madam, please sit inside."

Mrs. Xia went into the study and sat down, and the Marquis of Shang silently walked out of the door, emptied out the cold stove outside, and rekindled the fire.

The stove must have been left to dry for too long—it hasn’t been used since the last time Mrs. Xia came, and it has snowed a few times, so it’s a bit damp—Marquis Shang failed to light the fire twice it is good.

Xia looked at his movements outside the door frame and said, "Master Hou, don't bother."

Shang Hou said: "It's cold in the room, there is a stove to warm your hands."

Looking at his solid back, Xia found that she was not very cold, but a sense of warmth radiated from her limbs and bones.

There was a puff of smoke in the stove, and he finally lit the fire, and put in the charcoal. After baking for a while, the charcoal fire was gradually simmered red.

After the smoke in the stove dissipated, he brought it in, placed it beside Xia Shi, and said in a low voice, "You roast it."

Xia Shi lowered her head and said softly, "Thank you."

The obvious warmth accompanied by the soft firelight made her cheeks slightly rosy.

Ah Shuo brought tea soup, and then went down to prepare lunch.

There was silence in the room for a while, Xia Shi remembered the purpose of coming, and held the cloak beside him to the Marquis of Shang, saying: "By the way, this is the cloak that the Marquis borrowed last time. I will return it today."

Shang Hou reached out to take it.

Mrs. Xia was here, had lunch with the Marquis of Shang, and stayed until the afternoon before leaving.

When Mrs. Xia left, she walked out of the door of the study, stopped after taking two steps, looked back at Marquis Shang, thinking that he must have important things to do when he came all the way, otherwise, who would want to go to a foreign country during the Chinese New Year? As for the other country, he said, "I wish Lord Hou all the best, peace and prosperity."

Shang Hou looked at her and said, "I wish my wife a carefree life and a happy life."

Xia Shi smiled, hiding his emotions in the smile, and bowed again, saying: "Happy New Year, Lord Hou."

When the Xia family returned to the palace, the red lights were already up in the palace, and the New Year's Eve dinner was about to be held.

The whole family is in harmony.

After one year old, the two children can run all over the ground, adding two points of joy.Meng Yan took out the prepared plum wine to share, and the two children looked up at the wine jar in Meng Yan's hand and smacked their lips.

Yan'er and Chongyi sat with Chongxian and Chongxiao as usual, but Chongli was missing this year.Chongli went away to do a mission, and he hasn't returned yet.

After the lively New Year's Eve dinner, everyone chatted and played firecrackers in the front yard.

The siblings had a great time, panning the snow in the snow, and making a fuss with Monkey Bugui. From time to time, there were children and monkeys screaming in the yard.

Finally, in the night sky, as in previous years, clusters of fireworks rose up, very colorful and gorgeous.

The two children raised their little heads, and in the clear pupils, beautiful fireworks kept flashing, which felt extremely novel.

In Xu Shenfang's yard, the butler was holding a torch and lighting it one by one.

After he ordered, he couldn't help looking up at the night sky for a while.

Standing under the eaves, Mrs. Xia also looked up, then turned around and saw Meng Yan and Yin Heng standing by the corridor.

Meng Yan was raising her head and chatting with Yin Heng with a smile, Yin Heng leaned slightly to listen.

A beautiful man is a perfect match.

The child carved in powder and jade staggered around under the knees of the two of them.

What could be better than now.

***
On New Year's Eve tonight, the royal family also has an internal banquet.

All the concubines from the empress and the harem will be present, and Xie Chuying is among them.

She was a newly promoted concubine, and the emperor had rested in her palace for several nights recently, which made other concubines jealous, so at the banquet, many people poured her a lot of wine in the name of a toast.

By the time the banquet was over, she was too drunk to walk independently.

Tonight the emperor was resting in the Queen's Palace, and after Dou Ko sent Xie Chuying back, she took care of her to wash and go to bed.

The reason why Xie Chuying was favored by the emperor was because she had no worries about her future, and she was young and beautiful, which made the emperor feel very fresh.

The most important thing is that she knows very well that she is as beautiful as a fairy, and after the emperor gets over this, she will gradually become indifferent, so she learned a lot from Dou Kou.

Cardamom has been trained in the teaching workshop, and knows how to make a man want to stop.Xie Chuying learned these things, even if she couldn't tie a man's heart, she had to tie his body firmly.

After taking a bath, Xie Chuying put on her pajamas, her cheeks were still flushed with drunkenness.

At this time, Mammy knocked on the door, Dou Kou went to open the door, Mammy entered the bedroom, presented two black pills the size of fingernails to Xie Chuying, and said, "Madam Ying, please take it."

When Xie Chuying saw the pill, she frowned subconsciously.

The smell of the medicine was really fishy and extremely bitter, making it difficult to swallow.

But the pill was too big for her to swallow, and she had to chew it up before she could swallow it.

This is the medicine sent by the queen mother, saying it is for her to recuperate her body.As long as she takes it as scheduled, she may not necessarily be childless in the future.

This is to help her dissolve the medicinal effect of that bowl of Juezi soup.

As long as there is a slight possibility, Xie Chuying will not give up.So no matter how unpalatable the medicine was, she would force herself to swallow it.

After Xie Chuying put the pill in her mouth, chewed it up and swallowed it, Cardamom immediately mixed a bowl of honey water for her to clear her mouth.

Seeing that the medicine had been taken, Mammy turned sideways and nodded towards the door.

Only then did Xie Chuying realize that there was another person outside the door.With the gesture from the nanny, he raised his foot and walked slowly into the bedroom.

Xie Chuying couldn't see his face clearly for a while, because he was wearing a cloak, and his whole body was hidden under the cloak.

But when Xie Chuying saw it at first glance, her heart suddenly rose.

Looking at her stature, she doesn't look like a woman, but clearly...a man!
Xie Chuying looked at Mammy in surprise and asked, "What does Mammy mean?"

The nanny replied: "According to the Queen Mother's wishes, in the future, as long as the emperor spends a night with Empress Yingpin, Empress Yingbin must step up her efforts to make herself pregnant as soon as possible. If it doesn't work for the emperor, we have to start elsewhere."

Xie Chuying's face turned pale.

Although the emperor was very reassuring towards her, he was very cautious. Even though Xie Chuying had already taken the Juezi Tang, he would still ask Eunuch Huang to bring him another Bizitang after each incident.

They all knew that it was impossible for the emperor to let her have children.

And the Xie family's situation in the court became more and more unfavorable. A large number of Xie family's party officials fell, and the power that the family head Xie Hongbo could control in the court was not as good as before. If this continued, sooner or later he would become a fish on the anvil.

So the queen mother couldn't wait anymore, and planned to take a slant.
