Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore
Chapter 440 Gift
Seeing that winter is coming again, Hua Manman's morning sickness finally subsided gradually.
Her appetite returned to normal, and she was able to eat and drink freely every day.
"Look, my lord, have I gained weight recently?"
Li Ji looked at her carefully: "No, not fat."
Hua Manman touched her belly: "Look at my belly, it's a bit bigger than before, it must be fat."
Li Ji also touched her stomach and said helplessly.
"You are five months pregnant, isn't it normal to have a little belly?"
Hua Manman slapped his forehead, and suddenly said: "That's right, I almost forgot that I'm still pregnant."
Li Ji smiled lightly: "People say that being pregnant is stupid for three years, it seems to be true."
Hua Manman pinched his waist and said angrily.
"Who are you calling stupid?"
Li Ji quickly hid back: "I didn't say anything."
He was really scared, and Manman didn't know when something went wrong, and whenever he was upset, he pinched his waist.
He couldn't help complaining: "You were obviously not like this before."
Hua Manman sat down on the couch, picked up the fruit plate, and asked while eating: "How was I like before?"
"You were gentle with me before. Whatever I say is what I say. You never refute me, let alone beat or scold me."
Li Ji's tone was full of nostalgia.
He really missed Manman at that time, the whole thing was just a little sweet baby.
Hua Manman: "I'm just pretending."
Li Ji: "Then why don't you pretend now?"
Hua Manman: "Anyway, you have mind reading skills, no matter how I pretend, I can't fool you, so why should I pretend? It's a waste of effort."
Li Ji: "..."
He suddenly regretted that he should not have told her about the mind reading technique.
He should hide the secret of mind reading for a lifetime!
When Shangjing ushered in the first snow of the year, a secret letter was sent to the emperor in an urgent 800-mile journey.
Wu Shufeng, who was ordered to go south to quell the chaos, is dead!
The emperor quickly scanned the contents of the secret letter.
There are only a few short sentences in the secret letter, saying that Wu Shufeng died under the sword of the enemy army.
The emperor slammed the letter paper on the table and asked in a deep voice.
"How did Wu Shufeng die?"
The scout in charge of delivering the letter knelt down on the ground and replied in a straightforward manner.
"When Mr. Wu first arrived in Lingnan, he fell seriously ill because of acclimatization to the soil and water.
He is eager to make meritorious service, and he is unwilling to cultivate in peace.
He insisted on commanding and fighting with his illness, which caused his illness to come and go again and again, and he could never recover.
During a battle with the enemy, Master Wu got separated from the army.
The enemy army took advantage of the vacancy and captured Master Wu, trying to use Master Wu's life to force us to retreat.
Master Wu would rather die than surrender, and finally chose to commit suicide. "
The emperor took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and continued to ask.
"Wu Shufeng is the commander in chief, how could he get separated from the army?"
The scout buried his head lower: "It's because Mr. Wu had a dispute with several lieutenants."
Emperor: "What dispute?"
The scout told him all he knew.
It turned out that after Wu Shufeng was ordered to take over the army, the soldiers in the army were very unconvinced.
In their view, Wu Shufeng is a weak chicken with no power to restrain a chicken, why should they be made to obey the command of such a weak chicken? !
Although Wu Shufeng is familiar with military books, he has the faults of literati, for example, he is noble, for example, he looks down on those warriors who can only use brute force.
The two sides dislike each other, and neither is willing to back down.
The interior of the army became a mess.
During the battle, they almost acted independently, and Wu Shufeng, the coach, became an empty shell.
Later, Wu Shufeng became ruthless and ordered the killing of a lieutenant general, and then took the command over.
But this also directly led to the peak of the dissatisfaction of several lieutenants towards Wu Shufeng.
The reason why Wu Shufeng separated from the army was precisely because he was squeezed out by several lieutenants.
Originally, those lieutenant generals just wanted to make Wu Shufeng suffer a little bit, don't think that with an imperial decree, you feel invincible in the world.
Unexpectedly, Wu Shufeng was too unlucky.
After he got separated from the army, he didn't stay where he was and wait for rescue. Instead, he ran around with a group of soldiers, and he just ran into the enemy's hand without dying.
Wu Shufeng has a lot of problems, but he is loyal to the emperor and patriotic.
He insisted on carrying the enemy's sugar-coated shells and died for the country.
The emperor was so angry that he had a heart attack.
There was another bustle in the palace.
When Li Ji learned about this, it was already the afternoon of the second day.
He had expected that Wu Shufeng's departure would have no good results, so he didn't react much to the news.
Those guys in the army are a bunch of strongmen.
For them, only the strong deserve to lead them.
Wu Shufeng obviously didn't fit their definition of a strong man.
He couldn't suppress people, he couldn't convince the crowd, and defeat became the inevitable outcome.
Hua Manman held up a small puppet and said excitedly.
"I'm finally done!"
With nothing to do recently, she suddenly started picking up needle and thread again, thinking of making a doll for the unborn child as a birth gift for the baby.
Li Ji boasted without thinking: "This puppy is so cute, the baby will definitely like it very much."
The smile on Hua Manman's face disappeared instantly, and she said faintly.
"This is a little tiger."
Li Ji looked at the little doll carefully.
The only thing it has in common with tigers is that they have four legs.
Li Ji suggested: "Would you like to embroider the character Wang on the little tiger's forehead? It will be more recognizable."
Hua Manman spread his hands: "But I don't know how to embroider."
Li Ji: "Let Siyun embroider for you."
Hua Manman refused: "This is a birth gift I personally prepared for the baby, how can I give it to someone else?"
When she rolled her eyes, she suddenly turned her attention to the dog man.
"Anyway, you are idle, why don't you help me embroider a king character on the little tiger's forehead?"
Li Ji wanted to refuse.
How could he, a big man, do such things as embroidery? !
How embarrassing to spread it!
However, Hua Manman never gave him a chance to feel it.
She directly stuffed the sewing basket and the little tiger puppet into Li Ji's arms, coaxing.
"Hurry up and embroider. When you are done, this little tiger is the birth gift we gave to the baby together. In the future, the baby will be very happy to know that we made this little tiger together."
Li Ji fantasized about that scene——
The baby girl held up the little tiger puppet and shouted happily: "Daddy, I really like the puppet you and mother made!"
hateful! He was so damn heartbroken!
Li Ji looked around to make sure there was no one else in the room, so he hesitated to pick up the needle and thread.
Hua Manman leaned over and guided enthusiastically.
"Start the needle here, yes, it's here."
Li Ji's fingers holding the embroidery needle were very stiff, and his movements of threading the needle were clumsy.
His hands once held the rein and the hilt of his sword, and killed countless enemies.
But I have never pinched an embroidery needle.
In order to prepare a gift for the unborn baby, he worked hard today!
