Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

At this time, there was an endless stream of people coming and going to worship in front of the Mei Mansion, as well as people watching outside the mansion.

At this time, in the mourning hall of the mansion, everyone was kneeling on both sides of the mourning hall, except Mei Shaopu and Prime Minister Mei, who were still recovering from their injuries.

"His Royal Highness King Qi, Princess Qi has arrived."

When the housekeeper outside saw the visitor, he shouted loudly towards the inner hall.

"My unfilial grandson is late, grandma, wuwu..." King Qi leaned in front of Mrs. Mei's coffin, coyly squeezing out two tears.

Qi Xuan'er knelt down with Chun Yu's support and kowtowed four times in front of the spirit.

Her slightly protruding belly was covered by the wide cloak, and she didn't notice anything strange. Chunyu quickly stepped forward and helped her master up.

She walked slowly to the coffin to comfort her husband, but out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of dark purple on Mrs. Mei's neck in the coffin.

Her eyes suddenly shrank, she staggered, and was supported by Chunyu beside her, thinking that she was heavy...

"Princess is worried." He helped her walk towards Mei Shaopu's wife.

"My condolences, sister-in-law." Qi Xuan'er came to Mei Shaopu's wife and comforted her softly.

There were obvious tears on her face, and she didn't know whether she was crying for her mother-in-law or for her future life.

After looking around, she didn't find Mei Shaopu's figure. She curled her lips and thought to herself that the rumors outside were true. He was really completely crippled and seriously injured!

Otherwise, I would have to come to the vigil myself!

King Qi was persuaded by the people next to him to stand up, wiped the corners of his eyes, and came to Qi Xuan'er's side without a trace of tears on his face.

"Xuan'er is tired, I will take you back to the mansion first." Qi Xuan'er said with a slight smile on her face, "If the prince has something to do, just go and get busy. Xuan'er will go back to the mansion by herself."

King Qi's decision was considered considerate in the eyes of outsiders, but Qi Xuan'er didn't know that he was looking for an excuse to leave by sending her away.

"Xuan'er, if you go back alone, I won't be worried. Let's go. I will take you back first."

King Qi reached out to hold her hand and walked towards the outside of the mourning hall. He happened to bump into Prime Minister Mei in the yard.

"Grandpa." Qi Xuan'er bowed slightly and bowed in response to King Qi's voice.

Prime Minister Mei looked at Qi Xuan'er beside King Qi, glanced at her belly, and then told King Qi to send the princess back first.

Qi Xuan'er didn't dare to look at Mei Cheng. The eyes always made her feel that there was a dark and malicious aura hidden in them, which made people feel cold and uncomfortable.

"Thank you, grandpa, for your consideration." Qi Xuan'er was blessed again.

Prime Minister Mei said coldly, "Yes", then turned and left.

"Let's go Xuan'er." Prince Qi hugged her and walked straight out of the house.

It wasn't until Qi Xuan'er got on the carriage that she breathed a sigh of relief. She thought about the injury she had just seen on Mrs. Mei's neck and the gloomy aura of the Prime Minister.

She didn't dare to go down. King Qi beside her saw that she hadn't spoken since she left Mei Mansion. He stretched out his hand to stop her waist and asked, "What's wrong with Xuan'er? But she's tired."

"It's nothing, don't worry, Your Highness."

Seeing Qi Xuan'er's well-behaved appearance and the changes in her body caused by pregnancy, King Qi felt itchy in his heart.

He clasped the back of her head with his big palm, kissed her red lips, and pried open her teeth domineeringly.

"Well...your highness."

Chunyu next to him quickly exited the carriage and sat outside.

"Xuan'er, do you blame me for not going to your yard these days?"

Qi Xuan'er sat upright with a faint smile on her face, "How could Xuan'er blame the prince? Xuan'er is heavy and cannot serve the prince.

There are sisters in the backyard who help me share the burden, but it’s too late for me to thank them. Besides, the prince’s backyard should also be exposed to rain and dew, so as to spread the branches and leaves of the prince’s palace, right? "

When King Qi heard what she said, he looked at her eyes without a trace of resentment. He believed it was true and praised her. He really married a considerate princess.

"Xuan'er, don't worry. No one in the backyard can shake your position as princess. Even if the king of Japan sits there one day... that position will still be yours!"

Qi Xuan'er tilted her head and leaned on his shoulder, nodding her head lightly with the attitude of a happy little woman.

"No matter what the prince does, Xuan'er will support you."

Suddenly the guard outside the carriage said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, the Prime Minister wants you to go."

"Okay!" King Qi paused, thinking that maybe his grandfather had something to say to him just now, but Xuan'er was not around.

"Xuan'er, you go back to the mansion by yourself first, and I will come back as soon as I go."

He said and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Your Highness Xuan'er wants to eat the candied fruits from Deshun Zhai. Is it possible to buy some before returning home?" Qi Xuan'er asked cautiously.

King Qi thought that he had not been spending time with her well recently, so he simply agreed generously and asked her to be careful and buy whatever she likes.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

King Qi stopped the carriage, got off the carriage neatly, turned around and left with the guards.

Qi Xuan'er asked the coachman to drive the carriage to Deshunzhai, "Princess, do you want to eat candied fruits? I'll go buy them."

Chun Yu looked at the signboard of Deshun Zhai in front and asked his master.

"No, let's go together." The carriage soon stopped in front of Deshun Zhai. Chunyu adjusted the carriage and carefully helped the master out of the carriage.

"You go back first, I will go back on my own in a while."

The coachman was stunned for a moment, but looking at the insistent look in the princess's eyes, he nodded and drove the carriage away.

"Princess, please..." Before Chunyu could finish her words, she saw her master walking into Deshun Zhai.

She went straight to the cabinet and took out the jade pendant that the Second Prince had given her before, and showed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's eyes shrank at first, and then he said with a cheerful smile, "Invite the distinguished guests in."

Behind him, Chun Yu was confused, not understanding that his master was...

We can only follow closely behind.

The shopkeeper led the people to the second floor in the backyard.

"Chun Yu, just wait downstairs." When she heard her master's cold instructions, she nodded lightly and told him to be careful.

Qi Xuan'er nodded and raised her legs to go up to the second floor. The shopkeeper behind her led Chun Yu towards the room on the first floor.

"Girl, just wait here."

She looked at the simple decoration in the room, but every piece of table, chair and furniture was made of rosewood. It seemed that the identity of the master behind Deshun Zhai was not simple!

Does the master know...

Qi Xuan'er had just arrived and stood in front of the room on the second floor when the door opened from the inside and she was suddenly pulled into the room by a big hand.

"Ah! You are really worried about the child, Your Highness."

Qi Xuaner slapped the man on the chest angrily.

"Don't worry Xuan'er, I can still hurt my child."

Without giving Qi Xuan'er a chance to refute, he picked her up and walked towards Luo Hantang.

"Your Highness..." Qi Xuan'er exclaimed sweetly.

I saw him carefully placing her on the couch, and she thoughtfully helped put a soft cushion behind her.
