The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and a ray of spring light spread into the room through the half-closed window, extending all the way to the warm bed. Shen Huan opened her eyes slightly, and slowly became familiar with the not dazzling morning light. There was a person sitting by the window, holding his forehead with one hand. , as if in deep thought
Shen Huan moved slightly, and the book in his hand fell down, making a sound
The man by the window looked back. His back was to the sun. Shen Huan couldn't see his face clearly. It wasn't until he slowly approached that Shen Huan saw the blue and washable robe, which was like the color of the sky.
Xiao Wumian gradually came closer, stretched out his hand to touch Shen Huan's forehead, and said with a gentle smile: "It's okay."
"Have I slept for a long time?" Shen Huan wanted to sit up, Xiao Wumian held her waist and helped her up, and placed a pillow behind her.
"It didn't take long. You felt a little uncomfortable last night, so you came back early to rest. When I came, you were not awake yet. Don't worry, I have told the ministers that you are not feeling well and today's court meeting has been cancelled."
Shen Huan nodded and looked at Xiao Wumian. He had handsome features and fair skin. Although he looked thin, his arms were still strong. His personality was gentle and steady, and his manners were elegant and decent. Although his eyes were calm, he seemed to be able to see into people's hearts. In short, this Young people must be the dream lovers of many women
Xiao Wumian picked up the book that fell on the ground, smiled slightly when he saw the title, and handed it to Shen Huan again, saying: "This is "Girls in Gynecology". When did Your Highness become so knowledgeable about medical science?"
Shen Huan turned to the folded chapter. This chapter talked about the dietary taboos and correct nursing methods for pregnant women. She did not shy away from Xiao Wumian. She handed the chapter to him and said: " You have studied medicine and know how to help me."
Xiao Wumian was stunned for a moment and asked bluntly: "Your Highness wants this child?"
Shen Huan asked doubtfully: "Why can't I have this child?"
Xiao Wumian looked at her for a while and said: "This child belongs to Chu Xichen. If there is a war between the north and the south in the future, how will your highness face this child? His father is fighting against his mother. This... this is not good for the child. ,Too cruel"
It turned out that he thought this child was Chu Xichen's. Shen Huan gently twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "I will explain it when the time comes, but I must keep this child. Maybe you don't know that I once had The opportunity to be a mother, but I lost it and I don’t want to lose it again.”
Seeing her resolute attitude, Xiao Wumian had no choice but to compromise and said: "Well, since Your Highness insists, I will definitely keep this child for Your Highness. No matter what, by giving birth to the child, the direct bloodline of our Xiao family in the South will finally be preserved." "
Shen Huan smiled slightly, what should we do? The Xiao family's direct bloodline was actually mixed with the Chu family's blood.
Her pulse is very normal, and she is only one month pregnant. According to Xiao Wumian's warning, you should be especially careful in the first three months. The news that Shen Huan is pregnant has not spread. Now is not a good time to let outsiders know that she is pregnant.
A few days passed quietly, and it was the day that Qin Tianjian chose to go to worship heaven.
In other words, once you go to the Ancestral Temple to worship heaven, it is equivalent to announcing to the world that there is a successor to the Southern Kingdom, the Princess of the Southern Kingdom, who will lead the country to become stronger step by step!
After this day, the Northern Kingdom, the Western Kingdom, and the Haidong Kingdom will receive such messages one after another. Chu Xichen must know that this princess of the Southern Kingdom, his former queen, does not know what his expression will be when he hears the news. ?
And Ye Cangqiong, the leader of the Western Kingdom, will also know that in addition to the Northern Kingdom, he has another enemy!
On the day of the memorial ceremony, Xiao Wumian arranged for hundreds of dead soldiers to protect Shen Huan's palace carriage. There were guards in front, ministers behind, and two hundred guards on the left and right. Shen Huan's palace carriage was tightly surrounded like an iron barrel. It was so tight that through the windows of the palace carriage, you could only see the cavalry following, but not the people on both sides. Naturally, the people could not see her either.
Under such strict protection, the journey from the palace to the Ancestral Temple was safe and calm.
Xiao Wumian finally let go of the heavy burden in his heart. When he arrived at his destination, Xiao Wumian personally helped Shen Huan get out of the car. The two of them, one after the other, surrounded by hundreds of officials, entered the Ancestral Temple and began the grand ceremony.
The ceremony continued until the afternoon. Fortunately, I heard Xiao Wumian's words before eating a bowl of ginseng soup. Otherwise, Shen Huan would not have the strength to endure such a long and complicated etiquette.
The South has always prided itself on being a country of etiquette, and its etiquette is much more complicated than that of the North. The wedding etiquette in the North is inherited from the South, but it is still not as complicated as the etiquette of the South.
After this, Shen Huan was finally a little discouraged and her head started to feel dizzy. She couldn't listen to what the ceremony officer was singing. She just wanted it to end quickly.
Xiao Wumian smiled gently at Shen Huan from the side and made a gesture to her, indicating that it would be fine in a while.
Shen Huan smiled helplessly and gratefully. Finally, when all the etiquette was completed, Xiao Wumian hurriedly stepped forward to support her. She leaned half of her body on him because she really had no strength left.
When Xiao Wumian helped her back, he heard two adults whispering. One said: "It seems that the princess and the acting prince are really a talented and beautiful couple. It would be great if they could get married!"
Another said: "You don't have to worry about it. Seeing how caring and caring the princess is, maybe..."
Xiao Wumian glanced at Shen Huan's face and saw that she didn't look unhappy. He smiled helplessly and said: "These adults are really..."
Shen Huan smiled and said: "It's up to them, we will be cleansed ourselves."
Xiao Wumian was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Indeed, the pure will self-purify." There was a slight sense of loss and distress in his tone.
Shen Huan didn't think deeply. To be precise, she didn't want to think about this.
For so many days, it's not that she hasn't felt Xiao Wumian's kindness to her, but... she is giving birth to a new life in her belly. She is not ready to be a mother yet, and is working hard. So now, there are emotional issues. , it’s best not to bother her
After getting on the palace carriage and returning to the palace, it was almost evening. Shen Huan was extremely sleepy, so she leaned on the soft pillow and closed her eyes to rest.
I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly I heard Xiao Wumian shouting sternly: "Protect the princess!" The palace car suddenly stopped, and Shen Huan opened her eyes. Xiao Wumian had retreated to the side of the palace car, and the guards around him also held him tightly. Surrounded by palace carriages
Xiao Wumian turned around and saw Shen Huan waking up. He smiled comfortingly and said to her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Shen Huan felt reassured by his smile. She put a hand on her lower abdomen and smiled at him: "You are here, I am not afraid."
The team in front was a little panicked, and then they heard a burst of firecrackers, and then the guards screamed: "The mad cow is frightened, everyone, get out of the way!"
Shen Wen was startled. She looked ahead and saw several red-eyed cows rushing towards her. Firecrackers were tied to their tails.
Xiao Wumian heard the sound and held Shen Huan in his arms, jumped up in the air, and shouted: "Everyone, get out of the way!"
The cows rushed through the crowd and went in another direction. Xiao Wumian put down Shen Huan and commanded: "You two teams will send the princess back to the palace quickly. The other team will follow me to hunt down the mad cows. Don't let it go." Those beasts hurt the people!"
Shen Huan caught a glimpse of the caution in his eyes, and knew in her heart that no cow would tie firecrackers to its tail for no apparent reason. She didn't say anything at that moment, and sat obediently in the palace car, letting a group of guards escort her back to the palace.
(ps: In fact, Xiao Wumian has been gifted since he was a child. He is what we often call a child prodigy! He suppressed civil strife at the age of seven, and went to war at the age of eight. In addition to his superb IQ, there is also the contribution of the powerful family behind him. How can you say that Xiao Wumian is also Descendants of the family, although not direct lineage
As for the child issue... I finally have a child, last time I faked the pregnancy, this is the real thing)
