Today is Mrs. Wei Guogong's 40th birthday, and she has invited many relatives and friends to celebrate together. On weekdays, the official wives who have been in contact with Mrs. Wei Guogong have also come to celebrate.
In the flower hall, Mrs. Wei Guogong, whose face was glowing and dressed very richly, was being praised by everyone. Because just now, Concubine Shu in the palace sent a pair of child jade bracelets.
"Concubine Shu really respects your sister-in-law very much!"
"That's right, the quality of this bracelet looks to be of the highest quality." They couldn't tell whether this bracelet was of the highest quality. Anyway, it's right to praise the good things. Even if the thing rewarded by the palace is an iron lump, it's not that good.
More precious than gold.
Mrs. Wei Guogong couldn't hide the proud look on her face and said with a smile: "When the queen was a girl at home, as my sister-in-law, I treated her as my own sister and loved her. The queen certainly respects me."
Everyone smiled and nodded, and then a nun walked in holding a mahogany box.
The grandma congratulated her and said, "Madam, the General's Office sent someone to send you a congratulatory gift."
Send someone? Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wei Guogong changed her expression and sent someone to bring gifts. That means no serious master came! Mrs. Wei Guogong felt that she had been despised by the Zhenguo General's Office.
Seeing that her wife's face changed, Mammy added: "As far as the gift-giver is concerned, Mrs. Song is too old to go out. Miss Song came in and felt uncomfortable. She was afraid that it would be unlucky to come to the house on this good day, so she didn't do it."
I can come in person."
Excuses are all excuses!
Mrs. Wei Guogong said solemnly: "Put the things in the warehouse!"
She didn't want to see this gift. Not even a single person came from the general's palace. It was clear that they looked down upon her. How could the gift be any good? If it weren't for the empress, she wouldn't have given it to that country woman.
Here’s the post!
"Sister, did you invite the Shen family and her daughter?" Mrs. Pingyang Hou asked with a frown. Her two sisters have always looked down on the Shen family. Why did you invite them to my sister's birthday today? The key is, they still invited them
They didn't even come. The Shen family and their daughter are really arrogant! Now that Song Heng has become the general of the country, and has the support of the Nanyue royal family, he doesn't take them seriously anymore.
Mrs. Wei Guogong nodded unhappily.
Mrs. Pingyang Hou said: "What did sister ask them to do? Isn't Pingzhen making trouble for herself? They are very arrogant. Except for Princess Ren, who has ever touched them!" Her words pointed directly at Shen Wan's general.
In the eyes of these Dukes and Marquises, only the direct relatives of the royal family like Renwangfu can be in her eyes.
"Do you think I want to invite them! If it weren't for the empress..." When the words came to light, Mrs. Wei Guogong realized that it was not good for everyone to know about this matter, so she quickly shut up. After a while, she waved her hand and said: "Okay
It would be very disappointing not to talk about them anymore."
Although she said half of what she said, many people also figured out what was going on. It was not the intention of Wei Guogong to invite the Shen mother and daughter, but the instruction of Empress Shu Fei. It seems that Empress Shu Fei
She wanted to use her natal family to get closer to the Song family and win over the Song family. Reminiscent of what happened in the palace some time ago, it was obvious that Concubine Shu wanted to win over the Song family. But no one from the Song family came today. It seemed that the Song family
The family did not want to accept Concubine Shu's win over. General Song was also famous for his integrity and loyalty, so he naturally did not want to engage in such cliques. Moreover, the emperor was most taboo about this kind of thing.
However, the emperor currently only has one prince, the second prince. If there are more heirs in the future, the people under them will have to stand in this team sooner or later. However, the prince has always been established by his eldest son, so the second prince's chance is still the greatest. .
In the afternoon, there was nothing going on in the army today. Song Heng returned to the general's residence early and brought back a handful of lavender wild flowers.
"Here." Song Heng handed the wild flowers in his hand to Shen Wan, who was leaning on the couch reading a book.
"Where did the wild flowers come from?" Shen Wan put down the book, took it and smelled it. Not only did the wild flowers look beautiful, they also smelled quite fragrant.
Song Heng took off his cloak, just as Hui'er brought water in. He washed his hands and said, "When I was leading the troops for training today, I saw it by the river, so I picked some and brought it back."
Hearing this, Shen Wan raised her eyebrows and said, "Isn't it that the soldiers in your camp all saw that our general who was holding the country was not serious about training and was picking wild flowers by the river?"
"I've seen it all." Song Heng took the towel handed by Huier and wiped his hands.
Hui'er took out the water he had used to wash his hands and poured it out. He walked into the room and walked to Shen Wan and said, "Madam, please give me the flowers! I will find a vase to put them in."
Shen Wan nodded and handed the flower to Hui'er.
Huier found a blue and white porcelain vase on the shelf with porcelain, took the vase and flowers and went out.
"Ouch..." Shen Wan suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?" Song Heng asked nervously.
Seeing his nervous look, Shen Wan felt sweet in her heart. She smiled and pointed at her belly and said, "Kick me."
The baby is a month old and is about to be born. The fetal movements have become more frequent recently.
In the past, she could be considered a non-marriage person. She had fought too many divorce cases and seen too many broken marriages. She had no confidence in marriage, and she had never thought about having children.
But now, she feels that giving birth to a life is a very magical thing. Feeling this little life slowly growing up in her belly day by day, she is both nervous and happy about it. Although having him was an accident , but she loves this child because this is the child that truly belongs to her.
"Really?" Song Heng stared at her belly and suddenly saw a little bulge in the middle, so he covered it with his hand.
The child in his belly seemed to sense him, and punched his palm with a small fist across his belly.
"I can feel it. This child is touching the palm of my hand." Song Heng smiled as happily as a child.
"Pfft..." Seeing him like this, Shen Wan couldn't help laughing.
The child moved twice more, but maybe he was tired, so he stopped moving. Song Heng retracted his hand and said: "This child, so lively, must be a boy. I will teach him martial arts in the future."
Shen Wan frowned and said, "What if it's a girl?" She wanted to see if Song Heng was a patriarchal man.
Song Heng said without thinking: "I also like girls. I will protect her and never let her be bullied. What about you? Do you like boys or girls?" Song Heng looked at her and asked.
Shen Wan touched her belly and smiled lovingly: "I like them all, whether they are boys or girls." They are all her treasures.
Song Heng stared blankly at Shen Wan, feeling that a soft light shrouded her body. Although she had no makeup on her face, her hair was simply braided, and she was wearing plain clothes and had a big belly. But he felt that she was more beautiful than anyone else at any time.
He couldn't help but lean forward and pressed a kiss on her smooth forehead.
Feeling the warm softness on her forehead, Shen Wan was stunned for a moment, and her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a bit.
"Madam, look..." Hui'er walked in with the wild flowers she had arranged. When she saw the scene in the room, she hurriedly shut her mouth. She seemed to have arrived at the wrong time.
Shen Wan heard Hui'er's voice and subconsciously pushed Song Heng.
"Ahem..." Song Heng hurriedly sat down and coughed awkwardly.
Huier quickly put the vase on the table and left.
After Hui'er went out, Song Heng couldn't help but start to think, why was he embarrassed? He was obviously just kissing his wife at his own home!
"By the way, when I came back today, Qiao Mu told me that he wanted to marry Qiu Ju after the Chinese New Year." Song Heng changed the subject.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qiao Mu went back to his hometown and told his parents about Qiu Ju. His parents had no objections. Qiao Mu planned to arrange their marriage after the new year.
Shen Wan nodded and said, "This is a good thing. Qiu Ju is now eighteen and can get married." Although in modern times, it is still a little early to get married at eighteen, but in this era, it is already considered a late marriage. Wait until it is over Qiu Ju is almost nineteen years old, and having a child around twenty years old will not be a burden on her body.
