I have never seen anything like this in my life. The child was only a few months old, with a pair of big black eyes, like two big grapes.
The child sat up and crawled to the edge of the coffin, making eye contact with me.
At that moment, I saw my reflection in her eyes. I was shocked. In her eyes, I was an enlarged version of the little girl.
"ah--"
"What's wrong?" A familiar voice sounded in my ears.
I jumped up and looked at the face very close to me: "Xia Yan..."
Without any explanation, I threw myself into his arms and hugged him tightly.
"Having a nightmare?"
I shook my head vigorously. To be precise, what I had was a beautiful dream. In the dream, I turned into a peerless beauty, with a lotus on my forehead that could bloom at any time.
Precisely because it was a sweet dream, I couldn't help but be frightened. How could such a good thing happen to me?
When Xia Yan heard that it was not a nightmare, he immediately pushed me away: "Sleep well, don't be surprised, be careful to attract the guards!"
I said softly and lay down again.
The next day at court, Xia Huanzhi didn't come to ask for leave, Liu Chi didn't come either, and Pei Yuan couldn't come at all. The court suddenly became dull, with only Pang Xiu and Batuzi discussing birthday arrangements.
Pang Xiu was old and had forgotten what he said. He spent the whole morning listening to him repeating what he had said before. Others could not interrupt him. Once interrupted, he would have to start over again. All the officials were extremely tired.
I am even more tired from listening.
After going to court, Knitting Fang sent someone to bring new clothes, and Xia Yan personally helped me put them on. I carefully looked at his figure, and he seemed to be plumper than before.
I don’t know how Xia Yan did it, but she actually bribed an imperial doctor to prove that she was pregnant, and took her pulse every day. All I can say about this is that money can make all the difference.
When Xia Yan mentioned this matter, he told me that when the matter is over, the imperial doctor will be put to death.
I also agree that it is best not to retain any of these officials who can be bribed with money.
Concubine Xian was very virtuous these past few days. She sent someone to bring her the tonic soup that she personally prepared every day. The imperial doctor verified it and said that it contained no other ingredients except anti-fetal medicine. Xia Yan was very curious about this, not knowing that Xian
How did the concubine change her temper?
I just laughed, but I knew in my heart that Concubine Xian was having a sweet dream, and it was a dream that would never come true.
"Let's go!" Xia Yan pretended to hold out his belly and walked towards me.
Tonight, the prince of Qi State comes to send congratulatory gifts in person. According to etiquette, he should have a private banquet.
Although Qi is a small country, it is good at making weapons. Liuchi's Frost Sword and the 'Gou Yue' in Yan Xiaoqing's waistband both came from Qi. It is also said that they have a book that can smelt pure iron ore.
The book is called "Metallurgy". It contains the methods of smelting various metals and making weapons. It is a treasure book.
The King of Qi divided this book into two volumes, one containing smelting techniques and the other containing weapons manufacturing diagrams. They were placed in the hands of two people respectively, one was the queen, and the other was Qi Xuan, the seventh prince of Qi!
"The King of Qi was old and could not come to congratulate him in person, so he sent the seventh prince Qi Xuan to the Xia Kingdom to send congratulatory gifts. Qi Xuan was ambitious and always wanted to overthrow the prince and replace him. Now that he is on an envoy to the Xia Kingdom, he will definitely bring the book with him.
Prevent others from stealing it!" Xia Yan showed a calculating smile: "As long as we get that book, we can own the country of Qi!"
