The candlelight under the window swayed softly, and Shen tide and her fingertips touched the last stitch on the embroidery - the lotus painting that she had secretly embroidered for a long time. The stitches were dense and full of love, and she gently handed them to Xiao Huayong at this moment.He took the embroidery that was warm from her fingertips, and the smile in his eyes lifted up most of the depression that had been suppressed in his heart for the past few days.Above the court, the Duke of Wei, Shen Yueshan, was recuperating in his mansion due to an old injury. The crown prince, Shen Yun'an, was ordered to do so at the critical moment, and led the border troops to repel the invading Le tribe in one fell swoop.

When the good news came into the East Palace, Shen Xihe was twisting herbs in front of the window, and his eyebrows lit up when he heard the news.Xiao Huayong gently hugged her from behind and said with a smile that she also contributed to this victory: if she hadn't been generous and kind to the people on weekdays, how could the people in the city secretly cooperate with each other and help Shen Yun break through the enemy's formation Anshun smoothly.In the imperial study room, the emperor intended to marry Xiao Changying, and he chose noble girls from prominent families. However, Xiao Changying had already had his own idea in mind - he did not want to marry any noble girl and live an ordinary life of respecting each other as guests according to the rules. Instead, he hoped to meet someone who has the same mind. Even if there is no wealth and splendor, as long as the two hearts are in harmony, it will be the best situation.

Later, he met Shen Yingnuo by chance in the Royal Garden, and heard her bluntly say that she didn't want to deal with those arranged marriages, and just wanted to find someone who understood her. This refreshing insight made him look at her with admiration, and he felt that this person just hit his heart that he had hidden for a long time.A few days later, when she woke up in the morning, Shen Xihe suddenly felt dizzy and weak, and couldn't even swallow the candied fruits he usually liked to eat.Mo Yu felt her pulse, paused slightly with her fingertips, and then leaned over with a smile to congratulate her, saying that His Highness was pregnant.

When Xiao Huayong heard the good news for the first time, he stood there stunned for a long time before suddenly grabbing her hand, the ecstasy in his eyes almost overflowing.In the days that followed, Shen Xihe always felt that her appetite was dull and she felt drowsy all day long. When she woke up and it was sunny, Xiao Huayong walked slowly to the imperial garden with her, blowing in the soft breeze.Shen Xihe leaned on his shoulder and said that he would wait until the fetus was stable before telling the Sixth Palace the good news.

But Xiao Huayong looked at the soft look in her eyebrows, and his heart felt bitter - he couldn't help but think about how mother and son would live their lives if he was no longer around.Even if he has to suffer more bone-gnawing pain in the future, he is willing to try all methods, just to stay with them for one more day.The next day, he stayed in the bookcase and wrote a box full of dated notes. He sorted the books on the shelf in order of age. From the Three-Character Classic of Enlightenment to the later Strategies for Managing the World, they were all reading materials he had selected for his children in advance.

He also privately sought out the secret guard with the best martial arts skills around him, and asked him to teach the child riding and shooting kung fu when the child was born. He also specifically went to find Xie Yunhuai, hoping that he could pass on all his medical skills and knowledge to the child in the future.Shen tide had already made arrangements with her. She personally removed the slave status of Mo Yu and Zhen Zhen, and also specifically asked for a decree to give them the position of female officials in the palace. From now on, they could help her in the palace, and when they were old enough, they could also leave the palace smoothly, find a husband, and become free.The sword wind in the courtyard was strong, and Gu Qingshu deliberately approached Xiao Changqing and told him the news about Shen tide and the pregnancy, hoping to use his hand to get rid of Shen tide and the child in her belly.

Xiao Changqing's hand holding the sword hilt suddenly tightened, a hint of pain flashed across his eyes, but he finished his words in a cold voice - he would never hurt Shen tide and Gu Qingshu in the slightest. If Gu Qingshu dared to change her mind, he would not spare her.When the night came over the palace wall, Xiao Huayong was sitting on the edge of the couch, his fingertips touching the lotus embroidery, and his heart was filled with unbreakable reluctance.He called Xie Yunhuai and whispered to him to take out the secret medicine. Even if he had to suffer the pain of thousands of ants eating his heart, he just wanted to be able to hold on for a little longer.

As for Xiao Changtai, who was far away at the border, the hatred in his eyes had never dissipated. He had already secretly arranged his forces, and the rebellion that had been planned for many years was being pushed forward step by step.
