Du Shi has a good bosom, eats well, sleeps well, and looks good.

Seeing Xiao Shi secretly looking at her stomach, she felt somewhat ashamed.

But the other party was a child under three years old, and after thinking about it carefully, he just looked at him out of curiosity, without any malice, so Du quickly regained his composure, and asked gently: "Your Highness Eleven, do you want some cakes? "

Looking at the beautiful little prince, she was also looking forward to having an eldest son for Prince Heng. It would be great if the child was also so cute, cute and lovable.

After asking Eleven, she turned her head to look at Qi Jing, and explained: "This is a pastry recipe from Jingzhou. It's a common thing, but the way to eat it is quite novel."

The Du family grew up in the capital, so he naturally knew that the eleventh prince had lived outside the palace with His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince since he was a child. What he wanted His Royal Highness to do would naturally have to be approved by the Seventh Prince.

As for explaining the origin and ingredients of the pastry, it was because the Seventh Prince would mistakenly think that he was acting extravagantly because of his pregnancy.

At present, the imperial court is increasing its troops to relieve the disaster. In order to relieve His Majesty's worries, the Empress Dowager took the initiative to reduce the cost of Ci'an Palace.

Due to the fact that the middle palace has been empty for many years, the concubines in the harem have always been on par with the empress dowager, so they naturally became frugal. Since then, the rich and powerful in the capital have followed suit, and even put away those conspicuous expensive clothes, for fear that others will catch them.

Zhongyong Hou Shizi was dismissed from his errands, one of which was extravagance.

The victims of the disaster are still suffering. Your Majesty has worked so hard to distribute food and relieve the disaster, but you are enjoying yourself in Beijing. What was nothing before has become nothing.

With such a good lesson in front of us, who else would easily displease His Majesty.

As the concubine of Prince Heng, the Du family is in charge of the internal affairs of the palace, and naturally keeps the palace in line with the palace, and saves expenses as much as possible.

Even though she was pregnant and the rewards in the palace continued, she did not become coquettish because of this, and kept simple as always. The food prepared in the house should not be expensive, so it is natural to highlight a coincidence.

The biological mothers of the second prince and the seventh prince are both from the mansion of Duke Anguo, and they have the closest relationship. The little prince is by His Royal Highness's side, and when he grows up, he will most likely look towards the second and seventh brothers.

Mrs. Du is enthusiastic about Qi Jing and Xiao Shiyi. Apart from greeting the guests, she also wants to get along well with her husband's brothers.

Qi Jing understood Du Shi's meaning as soon as he heard it. He had known for a long time that his sister-in-law was a sweetheart, and now he understood it better.

Although the second elder brother had never had a close relationship with Mrs. Du after his big marriage, at most he saw her in the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace, but Qi Jing respected this woman who had been his sister-in-law for two lifetimes.

The other party has to think about even preparing a pastry. In Qi Jing's view, it is not hypocritical, but cautious and considerate for everyone.

He was really happy for Second Emperor Brother to have such a virtuous wife.

The other party expressed his intention of being close, and Qi Jing accepted it generously: "That is also rare, please trouble sister-in-law."

Seeing that Qi Jing was willing to respond to her kindness, and knowing that the other party did not reject her sister-in-law, Du smiled more tenderly.

In fact, when Qi Jing looked at Du Shi, his mood was somewhat complicated.

Because as the memory of his previous life gradually recovered, he remembered that Du Shi's pregnancy was not going well.

Due to the influence of the maritime affairs, the palace has reduced the expenses as an example, and in addition, His Majesty is ill, so the big happy event that originally belonged to Prince Heng's mansion can only be suppressed now, so it is not good to celebrate in a high-profile way.

Although the rewards in the palace are constant, the Queen Mother and His Majesty are not good at rewarding the concubine after reducing the expenses, so the things that Princess Heng received are not as much as those obtained by Princess Lang when she was pregnant with her eldest son.

To make matters worse, the second prince went to Shaohai in his previous life, and he never returned like this. Prince Heng's mansion suffered a fatal blow, and the princess almost failed to keep the child because of grief.

After several twists and turns, she finally gave birth to the posthumous son of the second prince, and left Qi Heng an awakened heir.

It was also remembering this incident that Qi Jing realized why someone wanted to attack her crippled soul.

It stands to reason that his soul was different in his previous life, and he could not inherit the throne. After the death of the second emperor brother, their lineage was completely cut off.

But the other party still wanted to kill them all, and tried their best to poison him, obviously because they were still afraid of the remaining power of the second prince's family.

What makes them so uneasy?

If it's not the Seventh Prince with a lack of soul, if it's not the Yu family, the Du family...then only the Second Prince has the eldest son of Shenwu.

In the palace, nothing is impossible.

What's more, it is not unheard of in history that the grandson of the emperor was established as the heir.

In order to prevent the Anguo government and the seventh prince from using the power cultivated by the second prince to support this young prince, it is very necessary to continue cutting the second prince's wings.

An Guogong is far away in the sky, and with heavy soldiers in his hands, he can't get close easily.In contrast, it was easier for Yu Zhaoyi and the Seventh Prince to attack.

It just so happened that His Majesty was devastated by the death of the second prince, and was still lingering in bed after half a year, so it was the most appropriate time to act.

Although Qi Jing has no memory of his death, he can also imagine what a blow to the Second Highness's family would be if he died.

Whether it's An Guogong's mansion, Yu Zhaoyi, or Prince Heng's mansion, it will definitely become more and more difficult in the future.

An Guogong's mansion also has An Guogong who guards the eastern border, so he will not be defeated immediately. Yu Zhaoyi is a concubine and can be protected by the empress dowager.

In contrast, Du Shi, the young widow of Prince Heng, who raised her youngest son alone, would probably be the most difficult.

They are all losers and victims of this battle, and what awaits them is either death or pain.

Although Qi Jing will prevent his second brother Qi Heng from going to Shaohai this time, and try his best to avoid this disaster, but when he looks at Mrs. Du, he still has some sympathy from the memories of his previous life, and also some sympathy for each other.

So in the normal relationship, he unconsciously became a little more patient with Du Shi.

People's sincerity is sometimes hidden deep, but sometimes it is easy to be noticed.

Princess Heng didn't just rely on her family background and appearance to get this marriage...It is very common for her to observe her words and demeanor.

Mrs. Du took His Royal Highness Qi's behavior seriously, and only thought that Qi Jing was so friendly to him because of the second prince. While he was happy for himself, he was also happy for the harmony between their brothers.

——It is said that brothers are of one heart, and their benefits cut through gold. Who doesn't want someone to fight side by side with him on this difficult and dangerous road?

Although the Seventh Prince has not awakened to martial arts, Mrs. Du has heard from her father that if there is any prince who likes His Majesty the most right now, His Majesty the Seventh Prince is probably the one.

If it's not guarding the border, it doesn't necessarily require martial arts. If His Majesty has always liked the Seventh Prince so much, the arrangements for him in the future must be very appropriate.

In the palace, Yu Zhaoyi's status was inferior to Concubine Yao Gui and Concubine Fang Shu, but just because she was Concubine Xiande's biological sister was enough for her to gain a firm foothold in the palace.

Yu Zhaoyi and the Seventh Prince are very important to His Highness the Second Highness, even more important than Duke An's Mansion.

They all need to trust each other more in order to help Prince Heng succeed.

……

Xiao Shiyi has been very curious since he heard that he was going to have a little nephew.

This time I saw Huang's sister-in-law with my own eyes, and found that Mrs. Du looked the same as when Huang's eldest sister returned to Qingzhou. Although she was a little anxious, she was relieved thinking of the little Chiyu at home.

——It seems that the little nephew is just as naughty as the little nephew. He always likes to play hide-and-seek with adults, and he is very shy!

I know from Elder Sister Huang that women who want to be mothers are very sweet and precious, so he became more careful when he entered the house, and followed Qi Jing lightly, for fear of shocking the emperor's wife and little nephew .

Seeing that he was cautious, Mrs. Du thought it was the little guy getting cautious in a strange place, so he took the initiative to mention the pastry.

She saw His Highness the Eleventh in the Empress Dowager's Hall and knew that children like sweets, so she wanted to use novel snacks to please him.

When Xiaoshi heard the word pastry, she really looked over, her beautiful eyes were shining like stars.

But he didn't respond immediately, but hid back to the seventh prince, showing half of his small face to look at his second emperor's wife.

Du's family also has children, and Du knows that it's not because the little prince doesn't like pastries, but because he likes pastries, he's a little embarrassed to answer.

She asked for Qi Jing's consent again, and when she got an affirmative answer, she asked someone to bring up the refreshments she had prepared earlier.

Little Eleven was very polite, Mrs. Du personally washed his hands with a handkerchief, and the little guy thanked his sister-in-law immediately when he got the pastry.

Seeing his appearance like a little adult, Du Shi was amazed.

——His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince has always been a lively and outgoing person. I don't know who the little prince learned his sudden dignity from. He is so cute!

Du Shi smiled, pretending to be serious and said to him: "Eleventh, slow down." After speaking, he took a handkerchief to catch the leftover snacks for him.

Ruoli and Juanniang take care of Xiao Shiyi, and because she always stays with her brother, she is also called Qiuxi a lot. Besides, the female relatives she sees are the imperial grandmother and two imperial sisters, and she occasionally sees Yu Zhaoyi.

But a lady like Du Shi is very different to Xiao Shiyi.

She is not as kind and majestic as the imperial grandmother, nor is she as careful as Qiuxi and the others, nor is she as dispensable as the royal family and Yu Zhaoyi... This feeling is novel, but not uncomfortable.

With his brother by his side, Mrs. Du didn't look fierce, so the little guy wasn't too scared.

The other party wanted to wipe his mouth, but he pouted generously and asked her to wipe it.

Xiao Shiyi ate one piece, and after eating for a long time, handed half a piece to his brother. This is not an uncommon thing in the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

But in Du Shi's view, it was touched by the deep affection between their brothers.

The Seventh Prince ate the pastry handed over by Xiao Shiyi with a look of disgust, and yelled, "Why did you eat up the stuffed part, just give me some of the side", his tone was actually a bit coquettish.

Du Shi couldn't help doubting her own feelings: how could the seventh prince act like a baby with the little prince.

The two brothers hesitated for a while, Qi Jing said to Du Shi: "Sister-in-law Huang should pay more attention to her body, if she feels bored, she can go to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother."

Whether it's out of filial piety or long-term considerations, before the father established a queen, the queen mother was like a pinnacle in the palace, so naturally Du would not relax.

Thinking about the Seventh Prince's reminder, Mrs. Du nodded.

——No wonder the Seventh Prince likes His Majesty so much... Such a sincere and straightforward person, who is kind to others, is always different in that seemingly bottomless place.
