late night song

Chapter 82
Before dinner, Liansheng stayed in the front hall according to Gu Yuchu's instructions.As soon as King Qin returned to his palace, he asked him for instructions on how to arrange the meal tonight.

"Your Majesty, the princess sent a servant to ask you whether we should eat dinner together in the back hall or go to the snow terrace. If we go to the snow terrace, the princess will send the medicinal meal specially prepared for the princess in advance."

She frowned and said calmly: "Since the princess is so virtuous, she must be seen by everyone and ask Xu Zhang to arrange for people to prepare in the back hall."

"Yes."

Liansheng resigned respectfully. The princess had been out of the palace for a long time today. Although she had some suspicions, she thought that the princess's pregnancy must be a big blow to the princess. It was normal to go out to relax, so she hesitated again and again and did not report it to the King of Qin.

King Qin changed into his regular clothes and went to Zhuxuetai, where he invited Gun Nanxi to have a meal together in the back hall. The Gu family sisters also went to the back hall together under the guidance of the girls.

As soon as they stepped into the entrance hall, Qi Jian and Gun Nanxi were already sitting on the main seats. Gu Yuxin frowned slightly and looked at his sister hesitantly. Gu Yuchu didn't care and pulled her to sit directly on both sides of them.

There are more than a dozen exquisite dishes on the nanmu round table, all of which are carefully prepared by Gu Yuchu. Half of them are the favorites of Qi Zhen and Gu Yuxin, and the other half are medicinal foods that are good for relieving pregnancy and calming the mind.But Gun Nanxi obviously didn't give her face and didn't use her chopsticks at all.

As for Gu Yuchu, who loves spicy food, the lightness of the table made her unwilling to take her chopsticks, so she began to encourage others to eat more.

"Princess, this Patchouli and Atractylodes chicken soup was stewed by me in the kitchen early in the morning. You have just become pregnant and have a poor appetite. This soup is particularly effective for those with weak qi, dampness and lack of appetite. Try it." After saying that, she motioned to the maid serving beside her to fill a bowl and put it in front of Gunanxi.

But Gun Nanxi remained unmoved. Seeing that she was so difficult to serve, Gu Yuxin put down his chopsticks angrily with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

Seeing the situation, Qi Jian was a little embarrassed. He didn't know whether it was out of kindness or intentional, but he actually tried to persuade Gun Nanxi: "It is the princess's kindness, Nanxi can use some."

Seeing King Qin speak, Gun Nanxi could no longer be willful, so he reluctantly picked up the spoon, took a few bites, and did not forget to laugh at Gu Yuchu:

"Although Sister Princess has never given birth, she still knows a lot. Nanxi will need more advice from me in the future. Sister, please don't dislike me."

The meaning of these words was obvious. Gu Yuxin looked at Qi Jian complainingly, while Gu Yuchu himself lowered his head and smiled, very calmly.

"The prince's child is my child, and I should take good care of it. Although I have never given birth, I can learn from those who don't understand. Once the child is born, the child will be mature again. When my sister has the next child, or she is pregnant in the future, I will take care of her. It will be more convenient when you get up."

Gun Nanxi clenched his fists angrily. Gu Yuchu glanced at Gu Yuxin with a smile like a mother, comforted his sister and responded to Gunan Xi. The days to come are still long, and there is really no need to fight for the moment.

"The princess always thinks about others, but doesn't worry about herself. Shouldn't I be happy to marry such a generous and virtuous princess?"

Gu Yuchu thought of others both inside and outside of his words, but he never thought of himself. Qi Jian's nest was on fire, and he said something indifferent, cursing this woman's high-sounding words in his heart.

"Your Majesty is so complimentary. I will try my best to share your worries for you."

Facing Qi Zhan's embarrassment, Gu Yuchu became more and more humble, as if she was born with peace and non-dispute. She picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of Qi Zian's bowl with her own hands, and then winked at him seemingly innocently. .

"Try this stir-fried lotus root slices, it will help reduce the heat."

Qi Jian had no way to deal with her at the moment, so he had to eat it to save face.

"Is it delicious?"

Gu Yuchu then asked gently, as if the tit-for-tat confrontation never happened.

"It's true that the fire is coming." Qi Jian followed her and replied matter-of-factly.

This time, the original drama of fighting for favor among the family members of the house has evolved into the deep love between the prince and the princess.

"The princess is pregnant. She has a bad appetite and is upset. The prince should spend more time with her and accommodate her."

After the meal, Gu Yuchu did not forget to tell the King of Qin that he originally wanted to accompany Gunanxi back to the snow platform, but when she said this, it was like a princess giving alms to her concubine, which made Gunanxi very angry. Unhappy, with a sullen face, even the opening of the frame gave it a bit of color.

For many days in a row, in order to cater to Quan Qidu City's after-dinner talk about the Queen's Residence of Qin and to take care of the face of the Nanchang Palace, Qi Jian stayed at Zhuxuetai every day, which made Gun Nanxi very happy.But even so, Qi Jian used the excuse of considering the princess's sleep and always slept in a separate bed with her.

Gu Yuchu was very confused about the old case and the truth. This way, she avoided a lot of embarrassment and restrained the urge to run to question Qi Zhen at any time.In addition, she also showed great concern for Gunan Xi and took care of her food and daily life in every possible way.Princess Chaoyang also successfully took the old concubine out of the palace, but she was not sent directly to Prince Qin's residence.

Princess Chaoyang bought a new house near the Prince of Qin's Mansion. Every day after the old concubine prepared the medicinal food, the little girl would bring it to the Prince's Mansion while it was still hot, which dispelled what they thought was Gu Yuchu's wishful thinking.

Under the care of her mother, Gun Nanxi was very particular about everything she ate and drank. Even the food cooked in the kitchen of Prince Qin's Mansion had to be checked by a doctor before she could rest assured, for fear that Gu Yuchu would be unfavorable to her.

But after all, the fetus was less than three months old, so Gunan Xi had a great reaction, eating less and vomiting more.

So Gu Yuchu tried his best to order some appetizing snacks from various restaurants and deliver them to her. Gu Yuxin was angrily angry with her for several days. Even Liansheng couldn't stand it and said she was wasting money.

Of course, Gu Yuchu knew that it was all in vain, but even if it was just to show the whole family and even the officials and their families who had nothing to do and were busy minding other people's affairs, she couldn't spare the money, lest she would be blamed.

For almost half a month, King Qin basically went back and forth between the snow platform and the study. Although she didn't want to see him, she still took the time to deliberately have an affair with Qi frame in front of Gun Nanxi, which made Gu Nanxi angry. Nan Xi was anxious to get angry. Although Qi Zhen was not adaptable to all these things, he was always very cooperative.

No, this evening, Gu Yuchu made plans to return home and rushed to the snow station with the sour plum crystal balls she had made.

"The prince is there too." Gu Yuchu asked knowingly when he walked in and saw Gun Nanxi changing Qi Zhan's clothes.

Gun Nanxi's teeth were itching with hatred. In order to gain face in front of Qi Jian, this woman really tried her best, like a dog-skin plaster that she couldn't shake off.

"Ah."

Qi Jian responded in a muffled voice, as if he had known he would meet her for a long time.

"Sister Nanxi, I asked the kitchen to make some sugar water and sour plum crystal balls. Try them. They are sour and sweet, warm and hot. They are most suitable for pregnant people."

Gu Yuchu came and went a lot, and he didn't regard himself as an outsider. He sat down alone without being greeted by anyone. After expressing his kindness, he didn't forget to turn around and tease the King of Qin.

"I didn't know that Your Majesty would be returning home so early. I should have prepared an extra portion to bring here. Now I don't have the privilege of being Your Majesty. I'll ask the princess to leave a bite for you later. If you think it's good, I'll order the girl to give it to you. come over."

"Princess, all her thoughts are on Nan Xi's belly. How can she remember me as her husband?" Faced with the uncharacteristic Gu Yuchu, who seemed to be teasing and ambiguous with him, Qi Jian was overjoyed, and he responded with support.

Such an intimate conversation made Gu Yuchu, who was well prepared, almost unable to hold back, so he quickly found an excuse and wanted to leave.

"Come on, it's all my fault. I'll go to the kitchen and bring the prince another bowl."

"How dare you trouble the princess? I will go with you." Seeing that she was about to run away, Qi Jian stood up immediately.

"No farewell, Your Majesty, please stay with sister Nanxi. I will also go to Yu Xin's place to give you a bowl."

Gu Yuchu turned around and saw Qi Jian approaching, and anxiously put his hand on his chest to prevent him from following him. Unexpectedly, Qi Jian was grabbed and refused to let go.

"Ouch."

This simple action seemed to Gun Nanxi to be a blatant seduction. She was so angry that she immediately pretended to be very uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?" Qi Jian turned around and asked with concern, but still held Gu Yuchu's hand tightly and did not go forward to help her.

"Your Highness, you'd better go take a look quickly. I'll leave first."

Gu Yuchu tried hard to free himself from the restraint, but was still unable to do anything. He could only look at Qi Jian helplessly with a slight frown on his face, his face turning pink.

Seeing that he was still unwilling to give in, she wanted to beg for mercy. Qi Zhi smiled slightly proudly, as if provoking, doting, and seeing through. It was not until the woman in front of her became anxious about how to end it that she let go of her wrist. Only then did Gu Yuchu propose She quickly ran away from the battlefield she had lifted up while holding the hem of her skirt.
