Chapter 239 Prince Consort: Mother-in-law is the hardest to please

That night, Concubine Luo was going to rest in the Luo Temple, Qin Shou then turned to the Luo Temple, his face was expressionless, but from the narrow and long eyebrows, he could vaguely see the softness.

He had looked for medical books to read, and knew that Concubine Luo's child in her womb could hear the voices of outsiders in this month, and often talked with the child, and could tell the parents from each other.

He quietly prepared several volumes, and planned to read them all to his son when he went to bed at night. He must let the child remember that Qin Jiuzhou is his real father, the emperor, even in his stomach?It's just the uncle who will support him in the future.

Basically, the reasoning of adoptiveness is to silence everyone, and also to make the queen mother and others feel that the Xi family inheritance is still there. In private, it is still necessary to let the children understand who is close to him.

Unexpectedly, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, before he could go to bed, someone from Yanbo Palace invited Concubine Luo over, saying that the Empress Dowager wanted to teach the princess face-to-face the experience of raising children.

Not only could Qin Shou not be able to stop her, he had to send Concubine Luo to Yanbo Palace.

That night, Qin Shou fell asleep haggardly with those books on his pillow.

As for Concubine Luo in Yanbo Palace, the Empress Dowager took her hand and said earnestly, "Mimi, looking at the appearance of the son-in-law, Aijia still has wolfish ambitions, don't be deceived by his rhetoric again."

Concubine Luo frowned, "The son-in-law promised that once the child is born, as long as I have another child with him, he will retreat."

"Hmph," the queen mother sneered, "the matter of having a child, do you mean that you can give birth at birth? It takes ten months to conceive, let alone when you can conceive."

Concubine Luo pursed her lips and remained silent. She didn't know this, but now that the army was overwhelming the city, she had no other choice but to choose what Qin Shou said.

Seeing Concubine Luo's expression, the Empress Dowager knew that she knew well, so she didn't worry that Qin Shou could hurt Concubine Luo again.

The queen mother said, "The Qin family army can no longer be in the hands of King Rong!"

The meaning of these words shocked Concubine Luo, she suddenly raised her head and stared blankly at the Queen Mother, "Mother Queen..."

After a long time, she said with difficulty, "Qin Jiuzhou... never lies..."

The Empress Dowager smiled. She stroked Concubine Luo's temples with her hands, her eyes lovingly said, "Stupid honey, in front of that position, it doesn't matter whether you lie or not. The most important thing is not to look at the result."

Concubine Luo moved her lips, she wanted to say, Qin Jiuzhou has been emperor, so he doesn't necessarily want to be...

But she didn't really believe in these thoughts, let alone others.

The queen mother sighed, "The Ai family understands that the relationship between a man and a woman doesn't mean that it can be completely broken. Often, people talk about hatred and resentment, but in their hearts, they still miss him and want to know what happened to him Live well, or live and die.”

"But Mimi, born in a heavenly family, the greater the power under her feet, the less sincerity. You can't expect others to give you sincerity, and you can't give it to others with sincerity. Most of all, you can't help it. These days It’s also going to go on.”

The Empress Dowager seemed to be talking to herself, and she also seemed to be talking to Concubine Luo.

Concubine Luo suddenly felt sad, she was not such a weak and crying character, but it seemed that since she was pregnant with the child, she became more and more vulnerable day by day.

Sometimes I still feel that this day is really hopeless, and living a new life is just a hard life.

"Mother," she called out aloud with tears in her eyes, "I understand, I understand everything..."

The queen mother touched the back of her head and patted her vest, "Just this time, Mimi, just this time, if the Ai family misunderstood King Rong, that would be the best, just in case, Ai family has figured it out, If we don't seize his Qin family's army first, in the end, this Great Yin will no longer belong to the Xi family, and the three of us, mother and son, will go underground, and we will have no face to face our ancestors."

Concubine Luo nodded in response, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "I listened to my mother, I know that the most important thing is to be Yin."

The Empress Dowager was relieved, her eyes turned red, and she hugged Concubine Luo, "Good honey, good princess of Ai family."

Then the Empress Dowager said again, "But it's not too late at this moment. It's not too late to talk about it after Mr. Zi comes down."

Concubine Luo sniffled, and said delicately, "I will have a good life and give birth to a child smoothly."

For such a sensible princess, the Empress Dowager is both happy and sad. If she hadn't gone through hardships, she would not be willful anymore. Sometimes she would rather Concubine Luo be as pampered as before, at least she doesn't need to understand the dirty things in this world.

The two mother and daughter slept on the same bed that day, Concubine Luo curled up in the empress dowager's arms like when she was a child, even though she still felt sad when she thought of Qin Shou, at least her heart was at peace.

The next day, when she woke up, she heard that there was a commotion in the court hall during the morning court.

Qin Shou returned to Beijing without an edict, and brought an army of 10,000+, even though he was the general in the court, and he reported everything in detail.

On the spot, a minister jumped out and pointed at Qin Shou's nose and scolded him, saying that he was an ambitious wolf who stationed hundreds of thousands of troops outside the gate of the capital, and he didn't know what his intentions were.

There are also those civil servants who are so talkative, they turned out the old Rong Wang and satirized him.

Regarding these, Qin Shou's complexion did not change a bit, he only said one sentence——

"The princess wrote a letter with Wei Chen, saying that she is about to give birth, and Wei Chen misses his wife very much, and misses the unborn child, so he went up the road and came directly to Beijing to pick up the princess, not with ulterior motives."

If this is the case, even a three-year-old child in the capital would not believe it, but Qin Shou's words are just and righteous, and no one can find anything to refute.

After all, Concubine Luo and Princess Luo are also members of the Heavenly family, so who dares to say that the princess cannot be worried?

Taking advantage of the situation, the emperor ordered Qin Shou to send his army back to Rongzhou without delay, and for the sake of caring about his wife and children, he was allowed to give birth to the princess in Beijing.

Qin Shou naturally responded to everything, and took orders sonorously, but as soon as he came to court, he went straight to the Luo Temple without saying anything about sending the army back.

The emperor Xi Chaosheng had no choice but to open his face with him, so he had to turn a blind eye and pretend he didn't pay attention.

As soon as Qin Shoufu arrived at Luoshen Temple, Concubine Luo had already returned from Yanbo Palace, and she was looking over and over with a small apron embroidered by Gong'e.

The little bellyband is festive red, with fine stitches, even the corners are stuffed up, there are only dark patterns of unicorns on it, and there is no embroidery on the side.

Concubine Luo touched the fabric, and said to Gong'e, "I just use this fabric. Children's skin is delicate, so there is no need to embroider patterns, and the corners must be tucked in."

Yan Xiang and Huai Xu wrote down one by one, and when they went out to tell Xiu Niang, they saw Qin Shou standing at the door, they were taken aback for a moment, then quickly returned to their senses and saluted.

Qin Shou didn't even look at it, his eyes were all on Concubine Luo without blinking.

Concubine Luo caught a glimpse of him from the corner of her eye, her body froze, she recalled what the Empress Dowager had said to her, her complexion became unnatural.

Qin Shou thought she was not feeling well, and walked over a few steps and asked, "Is there any problem?"

Concubine Luo shook her head, she exhaled and touched her stomach, "No, he has always been very good."

Qin Shou nodded, and he sat down on one side, looking at Concubine Luo for a while, looking at her stomach for a while, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't find a topic.

Concubine Luo didn't look sideways, according to the time, she should read some books and listen to the child in her belly.

However, Qin Shou snatched the book just after she touched it, and he said, "I'll come, just lie down and lay down."

As soon as he opened the book, he was stunned, the book was both familiar and unfamiliar, it was the one he had used before, he looked at Concubine Luo.

Concubine Luo glanced away, "The last time I was in the son-in-law's study, I saw that the annotation on this scroll was not bad, so I brought it back."

Qin Shou turned a few pages and frowned, "No, this is my annotation when I was ten years old, it's not complete, the princess shouldn't read this."

Concubine Luo glanced at him, how could she know that his comment was incomplete.

Qin Shou got up, and took out another book from under the pillow of the bed. Concubine Luo glanced at it, and it was the Qin family's 81 tactics book.

She looked up at Qin Shou with surprise.

Qin Shou moved the bag to Concubine Luo, turned to the first page with a solemn face, cleared his throat, and began to read in a low voice.

Concubine Luo felt uncomfortable at first, but after listening to Qin Shou's mellow and deep voice, she became dizzy and fell asleep.

Almost when Qin Shou finished reading a section, Concubine Luo had already fallen asleep with her head tilted.

Qin Shou closed the scroll, he fixedly looked at Concubine Luo for a while, seeing that she seemed to be sleeping uncomfortably, he bent down and picked her up and put her on the bed.

He didn't go away either, he just took off his coat and lay down on it.

He stretched out his arms and hugged Concubine Luo, and pulled her and her swollen belly into his arms. He was very satisfied with such an ordinary family like ordinary people.

Concubine Luo just squinted for an hour, and she was woken up by the pain of leg cramps.

She bit her lip and moaned in a low voice, awakening Qin Shou.

Qin Shou frowned, "Mimi, what's the matter? But you want to call the imperial doctor?"

Concubine Luo burst into tears from the pain, she sobbed softly, "Leg, leg hurts."

Qin Shou jumped up, he hurriedly lifted Concubine Luo's skirt, and saw that one of her legs was curled up, as if unable to move.

He reached out and touched it, and he understood.

Dun immediately pressed his thumb against the sole of her foot, exerting a little force, but after a while, Concubine Luo exhaled.

"Better?" Qin Shou asked.

Concubine Luo nodded, she was sweating all over from the pain, as if she had been fished out of the water, and her stomach was still tight.

She stretched out her hand to touch it back and forth, and it took a while for her to feel better.
