The sick man turned out to be a loyal dog

Shen Ning's wish to go to the night market was not realized in the end. After a few days, the emperor's imperial decree came down. He was very pleased with his recovery and restored his official position. position of prime minister.

When the imperial decree came down, the leisurely days would come to an end. Usually when Shen Ning got up early in the morning, the people around him disappeared.

Are you really not tired of facing so early in the morning?

Shen Ning seemed to understand the emperor, no wonder most of the emperor died so early, got up so early every day, and had to correct a lot of memorials, making it hard to deal with the wolves and tigers in the harem, no wonder it wasn't tiring!Moreover, unlike modern times, there are various leisure measures, and the emperor has to worry about his own safety wherever he goes, which makes his body tired and his heart even more tired.

Compared with the emperor, the officials are actually not much better. First, they must always pay attention to the minds of the superiors, carefully ponder every word of the superiors, and take care of the emotions of the superiors. Occasionally, they have to beware of other ministers. It's not like stabbing yourself in the back.

In short, no matter who it is, it is not easy, and their power is not so easy to say.

On the first day Tang Yanxiu went to the court, apart from the emperor's words of encouragement, he also brought back a lot of rewards. The pair of emerald-carved boys alone shocked Shen Ning's jaw. Not only that, the accompanying eunuchs Also took out a list.

"Zhengjun, this is a bit of empress's wish. The queen also said that if Zhengjun is free, you might as well visit him in the palace. It would be great to chat with him."

Shen Ning took the list, feeling a little puzzled in his heart, why would the empress want to let him enter the palace?Thinking in his heart, he looked up at the eunuch, and happened to see the reluctance on his face.

Thinking of the plots he had watched in TV dramas, and thinking about his current "identity", Shen Ning understood why this person was unwilling.

In the final analysis, he is just a country boy who took advantage of the prime minister's "difficulty", so he picked up a trick. Since he is a country boy, he must know nothing. If you are stupid, how can you understand those "private affairs", and the person who gave the reward will naturally not get any benefits.

However, Shen Ning is not one of those "country boys" who don't understand anything. He is deeply influenced by historical dramas, and he also has the idea that money can make ghosts go away. He can see the other party's dissatisfaction at a glance.

"It's really troublesome for my father-in-law!" Shen Ning took out a small bag from his sleeve and handed it over, "I'll take this little thing to my father-in-law to add some food, and my father-in-law also knows that it's my first time in the capital, what? I don’t even know, if something is wrong, I have to ask my father-in-law to point it out.”

"Where." The father-in-law's expression changed, he was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that Shen Ning would be so "knowledgeable". Thinking about the many capable people in the prime minister's mansion, someone should have taught him.

"The old slave is just doing his job well." Eunuch Yu accepted Shen Ning's bribe without hesitation, but since he accepted it, he would not accept it in vain.

"Zhengjun remember to visit the queen tomorrow, it's just common sense, Zhengjun don't have to worry."

"So, thank you, father-in-law."

After the people left, Shen Ning put away the smile on his face. Although he said that it was no big deal for the empress to find him after knowing this gentleman, he reckoned that he wanted to win Tang Yanxiu, the prime minister, through him, but he still couldn't help sighing.

The people in this palace not only have deep thoughts, but also have dark hands!

No matter what, since the other party had conveyed his intention to let him enter the palace, he must go there, so when Tang Yanxiu came back, he told him about it.

"Queen?" Tang Yanxiu thought for a while, only remembering that the other party was the brother of General Zhenxi, who was rare and straightforward, but he didn't know what would happen to him now, but nothing should happen.

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow." Shen Ning moved his body, although he didn't feel any more uncomfortable, but his stomach was really slow and difficult to do. The only thing he can do now is to sit and grow fat .

"What, are you uncomfortable?"

Tang Yanxiu stretched out his hand to rub his waist. He always knew that his brother's pregnancy would be very difficult. Now looking at Shen Ning, he felt even more distressed, but he couldn't stay by his side recently.

"It's no wonder it's comfortable like this!" Shen Ning leaned back on the chair, straightened his legs, his stomach was exposed, and an obvious bulge could be seen.

"How about this, is it more comfortable?" Tang Yanxiu's strength increased a little, and Shen Ning snorted to express his comfort.

Really - more and more arrogant, like a cat.

Speaking of cats, Tang Yanxiu thought of the tiger.

"Where is the tiger? Has it been in space?"

"Well, if you put it outside, you might be taken as a prey. Anyway, there is food in the space, and it's big enough." Even so, Shen Ning was still a little worried that that guy would be bored if he stayed in the space all the time.

But there is no way to be bored, it is impossible to release it now, let's wait for a chance in the future.

The next day, when Tang Yanxiu went to court, Shen Ning asked someone to help him fix it, at least it looked good, and then he got into the carriage and went to the palace.

The dynasty that Shen Ning lived in was named Dachao, a place where there were only men but no women, but on the contrary, there was a creature called brother instead of a woman, but these brothers were stronger than women. They are not as strong as men, and they can have children. In other respects, they are not much different from men. Therefore, although there are some poor people here, most people can basically have enough food and clothing. The pregnancy rate of children is very low.

This is also the reason why anyone with a little money and status will take several brothers, and the brothers will be married by officials when they reach a certain age. In contrast, there is no such rule for a man. It doesn't matter if you don't marry.

And this queen has never had a child so far.

Therefore, when Shen Ning came to the palace where the empress lived, until he met the concubines and the servants, after sitting down, he endured the gazes of these people looking at his belly.

Surrounded by a group of men, you talked about your stomach one sentence at a time, and lamented Shen Ning's good luck, and even two people almost touched Shen Ning's stomach with their hands.

Shen Ning had goose bumps all over his body, his hairs stood on end, and his embarrassment came out. Fortunately, the queen came out at this time, otherwise Shen Ning didn't know if he could hold it back.

"Meet your queen."

"Exemption."

It was the first time for Shen Ning to experience the ancient face-changing function, even if these people were "men", obviously one moment they were moving like rabbits, but the next second they were quiet and dignified. Mask, right now, I'm a little nervous.

Standing up and sitting down, as expected, the queen above quickly turned the topic to him.

"Is the prime minister here?" The Queen's voice sounded very gentle, not at all like the majestic person just now.

"The subject is here." Shen Ning was a little thankful, fortunately there was no need to talk about concubines, concubines, otherwise it would be really difficult to adapt.

"I heard that Zhengjun is pregnant, so these rituals will be waived." The queen asked Shen Ning to sit down, and Shen Ning accepted it very simply. Now he is relying on Tang Yanxiu, and he is originally a "knowing nothing" country boy", and while he might know something, it doesn't seem normal to know too much.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shen Ning sat down, the other servants and concubines looked at him differently, and the Zhengjun looked at him differently, because they had heard before that the emperor seemed to want His Royal Highness to marry him. Prime Minister, even if there is an extra country boy who doesn't know where he came from, they don't think it will change anything.

Is there anyone who would rather have a country boy than the Royal Highness?

Now, what's the matter with the Queen's attitude?Although there are rumors that Tang Cheng loves this Zhengjun very much, but there is no need to do so, right?

"Is Zhengjun still used to living in the capital?"

The corner of Shen Ning's mouth twitched, why did everyone ask him this question, is it that the life of outsiders in the capital is extremely difficult?

"Thank you for your concern, Queen. If you don't mind, just call me Aning. The medicinal materials sent by Queen last time are very useful." Shen Ning showed a little shyness on his face. Although this Queen has no children, but I heard that, But I really like children!

Sure enough, as soon as Shen Ning said that, the other party immediately took a look at his stomach, the slight bulge was obvious no matter how you looked at it.

But some people don't like it so much, most of these people are harem who can't get the emperor's favor and can't conceive children.

"I heard that Ah Ning is pregnant, how many months has it been?"

Shen Ning raised his head, this empress was not as good-looking as the prince he saw before, maybe because his father was a general, and he had been training with his father in the barracks since he was a child, his face had a trace of fortitude.

"More than four months." Shen Ning didn't know whether to be overjoyed or sighed, there was an extra child for no reason, and he still didn't quite believe it until now.

"Then when the child is born, how about bringing it here for me to have a look at?"

"Naturally, after receiving so much care and support from the queen, it is time to thank the queen."

The two talked a lot about children, and even talked a lot about how to take care of children. Only then did Shen Ning know how much this empress loves children.

Seeing his expression when he mentioned the child, Shen Ning had an idea, but since he knew little about the other party, he planned to go back and ask Tang Yanxiu.

After this chat, half an hour passed, and when Shen Ning was thinking about whether to leave and go back, another servant sent a notification from outside.

"His Royal Highness is here."

Seventh Highness?
