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

The Second Prince's Mansion in the capital.

Qi Xueer suddenly announced that she was pregnant and was the second prince's posthumous son.

The emperor also received the news quickly, but there was no fluctuation in his heart. When his subordinates came to report, they just said coldly "Yeah".

Ever since he knew that his second son was conspiring with the Queen Mother and had been eyeing his position, he had already hated him in his heart.

Concubine Shu who was beside her did not leave despite the emperor's insistence. She also heard the news and looked at the emperor with soft eyes.

"Your Majesty, if the second princess gives birth to this child, it will be your first grandson!"

The emperor snorted coldly. After what happened before, his thoughts had already changed.

"By the way, how are Yi'er and the concubine? There's no good news yet?"

When the emperor asked about the emperor's son, Concubine Shu smiled helplessly, and then said that Mo'er came to the palace these two days and went to sit with her.

Speaking of Yi'er and the side concubine, they have a good relationship. She thinks that it won't be too far away to have a grandson. However, the eldest son is a concubine, which makes her a little worried about the future of the main concubine...

"It's time for Yi'er to find a candidate for the concubine. As for Mo'er, since he has been thinking about the little girl in Lu Mansion, he will help her. However, this little girl is still young. Concubine Shu, if you have time, please persuade Mo'er to choose a concubine first. The concubine enters the house."

Concubine Shu was hurt by the emperor's words. Although she nodded lightly in response, she was still troubled in her heart. Could it be that Mo'er's temper was not clear to his father? How could he be so easy to persuade? How could he be so different from his father? He looks like an emperor.

Concubine Shu persuaded the emperor a few more words before turning and leaving the hall.

At this time, Qi Xueer and her maid were riding in a carriage towards a village outside the city, euphemistically saying they were going to Huangjue Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings.

When she stopped at a relatively remote village, she ordered the driver to drive the carriage straight into the village.

After the carriage stopped, the little maid jumped out of the carriage first and helped Qi Xueer down from the carriage.

"You go down first."

As she said this, the little maid blessed her and responded softly, and saw Qi Xueer walking slowly towards the backyard.

When he came to the courtyard and opened the door, the man behind the gauze curtain in the room raised the corners of his lips. His robe was loose, the wheat-colored skin on his chest was exposed, and he was playing with a white jade wine cup in his hand.

Seeing Qi Xueer walking in, she shouted happily: "Xueer, come here."

Qi Xueer heard the man's voice, took off her cloak and threw it on the table and chair aside. She walked forward slowly with lotus steps on her lips with a happy smile on her lips.

"Do you miss me?" The man pulled Qi Xueer and asked her softly, letting her lie in his arms.

Qi Xueer had a charming smile on her face, the tips of her ears were already turning red, and she nodded gently with lowered eyes.

"Of course I did, but..."

Looking at Qi Xueer's shy look, the man kissed her forehead gently, and then heard Qi Xueer say softly:

"I'm pregnant with your child..."

The movement of the man's hand froze, and then he straightened her body in surprise, and asked again in disbelief.

"Is what Xue'er said true? Are you really pregnant with our child?"

Qi Xueer once again nestled into the man's arms with a shy look on her face, hugged his waist tightly with her hands, and said softly "Yes".

Although the man was surprised by the arrival of this child, he was also very pleasantly surprised. The two of them stayed in the room for a while before he let Qi Xueer leave.

When she left, she also took away a maid with medical skills prepared by the man for her and asked her to stay with him and take care of her in the future.

Qi Xueer returned to the mansion before the city gate closed.

At this time, Tiantian in Lu Mansion was packing things, and she didn't know that Xiao Zimo was standing there behind him, staring at his busy little figure.

It wasn't until Tiantian turned around that she ran into a wall of flesh that she screamed in surprise.

"Whoops..."

Xiao Zimo held her waist to prevent her from falling to the ground, and raised the corners of his lips with a sexy and magnetic voice.

"Be careful, you are really confused. How can I trust you to leave the capital alone?"

Tiantian knew who it was when she smelled the faint ambergris on the man, and her pounding heartbeat was instantly soothed.

Standing firm, Tiantian saw the person in front of her clearly, smiled awkwardly, and said angrily:

"Why don't you worry? Really!"

Xiao Zimo stepped forward and took the little girl into his arms. He put his chin on her shoulder and asked softly, "Can I not go to Qizhou City?"

Tiantian pushed her gently and said with a pout, her grandfather and the others could not leave the house at this time. She and her family were very worried about her sister, so she wanted to take a look.

"Don't stop me, okay? I'll be careful."

Tiantian pulled his broad sleeves, lowered her eyebrows and asked softly, with a hint of coquettish pleading in her tone.

Xiao Zimo looked helplessly at the little woman's actions and sighed.

In the end, he could only tell her to be careful outside, and that he would call secret guards for her to protect her all the way. Tiantian wanted to refuse.

Xiao Zimo put his finger on her lips and told her not to refuse in a hurry. If she wanted to reassure her about such a long journey, she would agree, and Mr. Lu would not let her travel so simply.

"Okay, okay, can't I take it with me? You!"

Tiantian took his big hand and walked to the soft couch in the room. The two sat on both sides of the low table and started chatting.

It was rare for Xiao Zimo to have free time. As soon as he heard that Tiantian was leaving for Qizhou City, he immediately put down what he was doing and rushed to Lu Mansion.

Afraid that she would not be able to catch up, the little woman secretly left the city by herself.

Is there something turbulent in the darkness? Xiao Zimo didn't want to scare her with these things, but he was always worried in his heart.

This time he assigned the three secret guards around him to Tiantian. One of them was the only woman among the secret guards. She was as old as Tiantian. He thought it would be better to stay with Tiantian and take care of her. He also I can feel more at ease.

"Tiantian, give Qi any name you want, and I will stay by your side and take care of you from now on."

As he spoke, Xiao Zimo snapped his fingers outside, and three secret guards stepped in from outside the door, one of whom was the Seventeenth one.

Tiantian looked at the smart girl in black clothes in front of her, and her eyes lit up. She was very attracted to this delicate woman: "Then let's call her Xia Tong!"

"Xia Tong thanks the master for giving me the name." The girl raised her smile and leaned down to salute.

Tiantian asked her to get up and go next door to find Xia Shuang and ask Xia Shuang to settle her down. Xia Tong got up and turned towards the two of them to leave.

Xiao Zimo told the other two people on the ground that they must protect Tiantian's safety in the future, otherwise he would raise his head to see them, and then waved his hand to let the two leave.
