Chapter 536 What's up?

After leaving the garden, as soon as he reached the stairs, the eunuch just happened to come back with a box in his hand.

As soon as Shen Xi opened it, he found two exquisitely ironed undershirts and trousers, and two brocade robes of excellent texture.

The material and style looked like men's clothes, and the size was about the same as Xiao Huai's stature, so it was naturally for him.

Unexpectedly, the emperor had already prepared a reward for Xiao Huai. Although it was only a few sets of clothes, the gift was a bit strange, but the clothes were thoughtful, much warmer than gold and jade.

It's just that if you take a closer look at the stitching, it's fine and precise, but it doesn't look like the usual method used by the Shangyi Bureau...

Back in the East Palace, Xiao Huai was looking for her, and hooked her into his arms from the corridor: "Where have you been? You're already pregnant with a baby and you're still running around."

Shen Xi then told him about going to the Qing Palace, and showed him the clothes: "The emperor rewarded you with a birthday present."

Xiao Huai glanced casually, and said: "It's like this every year, what's so interesting about it.—Come on, come and talk."

After speaking, he led her to the temple.

Shen Xi heard him say that it was like this every year, so he also put aside the matter of stitches.

Since it is like this every year, I presumably followed the usual practice to find someone from the past to do it, so I didn't go into the fashion game.

However, she still felt that the emperor was in a good mood recently, and she was willing to talk more with the people around her.He looked younger and more energetic when he smiled.

And the strange thing is, when she and Xiao Huai went to Qianqing Palace, occasionally Xiao Huai would object to him or even contradict him, but he would not hold him down like before, but would just be silent for a while, then nod his head , Let people around you remember.

This is incredible.

One must know that the father and son have been wary of each other for so many years, and she even felt that the emperor sometimes did not treat Xiao Huai as his son, but as a subordinate who needed to be tempered, or as an equal opponent.

But Xiao Huai still refuses to call him "Father Emperor", no matter in front of or behind people, he always calls him "Emperor".

She actually saw the emperor changing...

She always felt that something happened to the emperor recently.

When He Lanzhun entered the palace, she invited him to have tea in the side hall.

"How is the emperor's dragon body recently?"

"Very good." He Lan said while sipping tea.

The quality of the melon slices brought in as a tribute was very good, and he also got a few cans, but it was a pity that he had already finished drinking it.

"Then did he have any happy event recently?" She asked again.She felt that he was the one most likely to know what the emperor was thinking.

"Happy event?" He Lan glanced at her, "You have conceived a grandson for the Xiao family, which has been passed down through two generations. Is this considered a happy event?"

Shen Xi was stunned.

This was indeed a happy event, but the point was that she didn't think the emperor cared much about it.

Of course, she is happy. As a father-in-law, he is sure to be happy.

But if he really cared about incense, why didn't he even accept a side concubine for so many years?But to put all his eggs in one basket and guard Xiao Huai, an "incompetent" only son, until now?

She intuitively felt that it must not be because of this incident.

"What did you find again?" He Lan Zhun asked suddenly, smelling the tea leaves.

Shen Xi took a deep breath, and told him about the recent events. "Although it's not a big deal, it's a little different when it comes to the emperor."

When He Lanzhun heard this, he also recalled what he said that night when the Emperor mentioned Mrs. Wei in Qianqing Palace.

He also felt different, but this kind of speculative matter, especially related to the emperor, should not be speculated at will.

"Are you worried about the emperor's concubine?" he said.

"It's not that I'm worried." Shen Xi sighed, "It's just that I'm used to not wanting to be the last one to know the truth."

It can be seen that a sharp mind is not all good. For example, now, she wished she could really become an idiot.

However, she felt that in the heart of the emperor, she might be like an idiot, right?After all, who can be as powerful as him.

So she felt that the traces she had noticed might have been leaked by him without caring whether she knew it or not.

He Lan raised his lips: "You can rest assured, not only you don't know, Huo Jiu and I haven't seen any clues yet.

"If there is a truth, you will certainly not be the last to know."

Shen Xi glanced at him: "That's good."

Being accompanied by someone at least shows that she is not the only one who is stupid.

Knowing that He Lanzhun and Huo Jiu didn't know about this matter, Shen Xi was relieved.

The days are sunny and rainy for a few days, and soon it will be winter.

Li Rui was led by Xiao Huai to the outskirts for a period of strong training in horse riding, and now he is very good.

Not only did he get taller, but he also got a little tanned.

He often rides a horse galloping along the moat, and no matter where he goes, he always prepares the horse with great interest, as if he is afraid that the world will not see his superb riding skills and vigorous heroic posture of Mr. Pingyang.

But as long as he enters the palace, he will abide by the etiquette and hand over the horse to the Habayashi army, although the emperor and Xiao Huai don't care about him riding a horse in Duanmen for fun.

The first snowfall fell at the end of winter, and for three full days, the roof of the imperial city was covered in white. Against the red walls and plastered beams, the scenery was too beautiful to behold.

Shen Xi was four months pregnant, and she was already showing signs of pregnancy, but she still couldn't tell it was wearing winter clothes.

Recently, their spirits have improved, and it was rumored that Shen Yan and the others went to the palace for entertainment.

Her original school in Lizi Hutong was expanded after all, and now it occupies three times the original area. Shen Xi handed it over to Shuntian House, and it became a formal girls' school under it.

Women who have reached a certain level of accomplishment can enter to study poetry, poetry, astronomy and geography, and there are also women's red and cooking classes, as well as riding and archery.

Although the women who come out here are still unable to participate in the imperial examination, they have given women a broad horizon and a certain degree of freedom on the basis of the strict etiquette of the Great Qin Dynasty.

Later, women's studies were vigorously promoted among the people. Although there were no formal higher schools like the capital because of the environment, there were still schools for male and female students everywhere, especially among the nobles, who paid more attention to the training of women.

And in the future generations of dynasties, there will be several female generals who will dominate the frontier.

Because of the influence of this crown princess, the women in the Great Yin Dynasty had more freedom than the Great Qin Dynasty, and they had stronger cultivation and more colorful lifestyles than the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Of course, these are all stories.

Now, with her five-month-old belly, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is listening to the cabinet discussing with Honglu Temple about the New Year's Eve banquet in the Qianqing Palace.

There is still half a month until New Year's Eve.

This year is the first year of the founding of the People's Republic of China. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were still a lot of affairs due to the short-term enthronement. It was just rumored that a few veterans brought their families to the palace for a small gathering. Now that the government affairs are on the right track, it is natural to take this opportunity to hold a palace banquet. of.
