After the rebirth, Aijia and Bamboo Horseshoe printed him

Zhou Shuhe felt that of course it would be better to be alive.

The afternoon sun slanted into the room, dazzled with brightness, Jiyue drew the curtain in front of the carved window, and felt much more comfortable.

Qi Yu's red bean cake was unsatisfactory, and it could only be regarded as barely palatable, but the first-hand crucian carp tofu soup was greener than blue, and it was even more delicious than Zhou Shuhe, a professional cook.

The fish is very clean, except for the viscera, even the black membrane and the blood on the inside of the abdomen are removed, and then fried in lard until golden on both sides, and finally add freshly boiled water under high heat to make it The crucian carp soup is white and mellow, without a trace of fishy smell.

Sunny day in midsummer, beautiful food, Zhou Shuhe ate two fish, and her stomach was warmed by ironing. She was a little sleepy, but she didn't want to leave. With her face in one hand, she watched Qi Yu carefully pick out the fishbone for her with chopsticks .

She has always wanted to live a good life, but today she suddenly feels that this is the best life.

"Qi Yu."

He looked up at her and smiled, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Shuhe put his other hand on the table, folded his hands under his chin, and said without words: "Is it fun to pick fishbone?"

"..."

Chun Ye, who was guarding the door, was always vigilant, listening to the movement in the room with his ears upright, ready to rush to stop the lady when she wanted to misbehave. Seeing Qi Yu chatting with her calmly.

"It's okay, but whether it's fun or not is secondary, um——mainly because I enjoy this state of working even on holidays."

Zhou Shuhe laughed loudly when he heard the words, and he lost his temper when he didn't notice the laughter for a while, and then he clutched his stomach and yelled.

Qi Yu hurriedly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, strode to her side, half knelt down and asked nervously, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

The warm wind raised the curtain, and a beam of sunlight passed through the gap in the curtain, gently blowing on his side, and the fine dust in the air was disturbed.Zhou Shuhe looked down at him with his hands on his stomach, his heart seemed to be soaked in warm water for a long time, it was warm and wrinkled, she couldn't help stretching out her hand, and stroked the vertical marks on the frown of the person in front of her.

Qi Yu froze for a moment, and resisted avoiding her hand: "Don't make trouble, you are pregnant, and stomach discomfort is not a trivial matter, so don't be careless."

She smiled: "It's just a bit of a headache, instead of making a big fuss and getting nervous, why don't you rub it for me."

The fingertips started from the center of the eyebrows and slowly slid along the browbones to the side of the face. Zhou Shuhe held his cheeks in his palms and looked at him with a smile: "Qi Yu, rub it for me."

She lowered her eyes and looked straight into his eyes, neither of them spoke, maybe it was only a moment, and it seemed like a long time before she heard a low "OK".

A warm touch came from the abdomen, Zhou Shuhe lowered his head, rubbed his forehead against the top of Qi Yu's head, and was so comfortable that he was about to fall asleep.

It's really...the best day ever.

****

Summer passed and winter came, and in a blink of an eye, it was October 60th, which was the Queen Mother's [-]th birthday.

Zhou Shuhe is now pregnant with Liujia, and the nausea and vomiting from earlier have all disappeared. As his appetite increases, he has to control his eating, so as not to affect the delivery due to an oversized fetus.

This is not the first time for her to be a mother. Although the whole pregnancy was hard, but because the arrangements were only orderly and the care was excellent, although she did not have the slender waist that the emperor loved, she had a clear and ruddy complexion, which was born with her. The vigor and vitality make people feel happy just looking at it.

This slightly reversed the Queen Mother's prejudice against Zhou Shuhe.

The Empress Dowager has a deep resentment towards the Bai family. Seeing this face similar to Bai's is really displeased, but she is out of sight and out of mind. She stays in Yongning Palace to worship Buddha all day long. Except for the queen and concubine Zhuang, she usually does not summon other concubines. Even the biological mothers of the two princes and princesses seldom saw her, let alone Yuan Meiren who avoided her.

This was the first time Zhou Shuhe saw the empress dowager of Yongning Palace.

Today she is wearing a bright yellow dress with gold thread hooks, a phoenix crown on her head, and a golden dragon holding a pearl in her earrings. She sits at the top of the hall, the emperor sits beside her, and the concubine Zhuang stands beside her, and these concubines sit on the east and west On both sides, further outside are some high-ranking foreign wives.

Below are the clansmen who came to celebrate their birthdays. The princes and princesses in Beijing were all dressed up brightly, as if they had honey on their mouths. All kinds of auspicious words and congratulatory gifts were put into the empress dowager's treasury.

After the child in his belly grew up, Zhou Shuhe's legs and feet were prone to edema, and he was usually in the palace, so if he felt uncomfortable, he would be fine by lying down for a while.

In addition, Qi Yu took the time to find the most prestigious massage master in Beijing outside the palace. After learning it by himself, he taught it to Jiyue and Chunye carefully. , Practiced a technique of talking on paper.

At this moment, I don't know how long I have to sit, and it's not easy to ask someone to help rub my legs when I wish the Queen Mother a birthday. body benefits.

The guests have already arrived, and the audience is babbling and singing.

In the past, Wan Min was always by the emperor's side on such big occasions, and today was no exception, but before the banquet started, he somehow went out, and now he came back and whispered to the emperor's side. The latter's complexion sank slightly.

It's just that the queen mother was in the right mood, and the emperor didn't want to disturb the banquet, so he hesitated.

The Empress Dowager couldn't take her eyes off, she was still beating the beat of the opera with her hands, but she seemed to have eyes in her ears, and she could see through what the Emperor was thinking: "If the Emperor has something to do with it, go quickly, there are Queens and Chan'er here at Aijia. Woolen cloth."

"Empress Huiyan," the emperor said with a wry smile, "it's the King of Zhenbei's business. My son is really..."

He sighed, held back his anxiety, and led Wan Min to the outside of the hall from the west side.

The Empress Dowager's 60th birthday, it is reasonable that the clans from all over the country would come to congratulate her. However, with the continuous iteration of the Chu Dynasty, from the generation of the first emperor, only the prince, the county king, and the general of the town are the only three-class banquets. Wang Jue came to pay homage to him, and if he lived far away like Zhenbei Wang Chu Huaizhang, he only needed to send his son to take his place.

But this time the Prince of Zhenbei didn't come, and it wasn't even any of Chu Huaizhang's sons who came, but his adopted son - a mere domestic servant.

In fact, this is not an act of disrespect at all. Similar to the emperor, the King of Zhenbei also has a difficult offspring. He only has two sons and two daughters. Impeach.It's just that for the emperor, it was a blatant humiliation for an adopted son who was born as a domestic servant to congratulate him.

When the emperor was born, the empress dowager was just a precious forest of the late emperor, and was not qualified to raise dragon descendants, so she was taken to the palace of Zhenbei Wang's biological mother, Duan Taifei, and became her adopted son.

Adopted son, domestic servant, these two words put together mean to stab the emperor in the heart. It is impossible for Chu Huaizhang to be unaware of this, but he just wants to do it.

The emperor knew in his heart that Chu Huaizhang was not necessarily a disobedient minister, he was just, as always, accustomed to maintaining an arrogant and high posture in front of this elder brother.

The emperor wanted to eat his flesh alive, but he didn't want to lose the reputation of killing his brothers, not to mention that Chu Huaizhang had frequently delivered good news in the bitter cold north for more than [-] years, and he needed him to stay there.

The two whispered to each other and passed Zhou Shuhe, and the words "King of Zhenbei" came faintly in the air.

Zhou Shuhe frowned slightly, and lowered his eyes to hide the deep hatred in his eyes.

Zhenbei King Chu Huaizhang...

After the death of Emperor Taiping in the previous life, Ning Wang Chu Chengji succeeded to the throne. In the next year, Chu Chengji died of illness, and Zhenbei King Chu Huaizhang took over the jade seal from him in the first year of Jianxing.

Since then, wars continued in the north. Emperor Jianxing sent food and money to the Di people, ceded land, and married the princess. Even if she was in the prosperous capital, she could hear the tragic situation of the people in the north.

So those numb faces and emaciated bodies broke into the deepest nightmare of her previous life.
