Spoiled Wife - C99 patron saint
On August 19th, King Duan took out his time to accompany his imperial concubine. The two of them were chatting, reading and writing, no matter what, he had the illusion that the time was peaceful and peaceful!
Seeing that she had kept a smile on her face the entire time, Duke Xian knew that she wanted to make him feel at ease, so he felt even more sorry for her. She was concealing her weakness with a strong disguise, unwilling to let him see her cry.
That night, King Duanren ruthlessly tortured her, as if he wanted to make up for the weight of being gone for so long. Shen Qi was also abnormally cooperative, she didn’t care even if he was in a dangerous situation while the Duke was in it.
At this time, she wanted to get pregnant, but since the prince had gone to the battlefield, she had something to do!
Shen Qi was so tired that she couldn’t even move her pinky. She only had enough time to say that she wanted her to wake up and fall asleep after telling her to wait for the duke to leave, and Duke Xian looked at her sleeping face. Although he hadn’t slept for the entire night, she didn’t feel sleepy at all, she just kept looking at her like that, as if she wanted to carve her appearance into her heart.
When she heard Zi Zhu say that it was already a quarter to one, she knew that the Duke must have already left, so she hugged her blanket and started to stare blankly at Shen Qi. The Duke must have done it on purpose, because he didn’t want her to send him off, so she couldn’t help but think, So it turns out that you were afraid of leaving as well?
On the surface, Duke Xian’s departure didn’t seem to have any effect on the Duke Palace, but Shen Qi knew that she would always feel empty inside.
In the capital, the people who were heading towards the Guanbei were not only Sky King, there were also many other people who wanted their own children to build up their career and become rich. There were also some who were born in the general’s family like Xiao Mo, but the next generation had lost all of their seniors’ blood, and had developed the character of a popinjay.
The Grand Princess’s Mansion was also very uncomfortable. Although she would have to go through all sorts of scenes like this every year, she would still feel sad and sorrowful at the same time.
The Grand Princess felt that Shen Qi must be in a similar state as well, so she sent her a message to invite her over to the Palace to be a guest.
Even though Shen Qi had concealed it well, the Grand Princess could still see that she was not used to it. She patted her hands and said affectionately: “It will take a while before I recover.
“After’s father, and then Xiao Mo, so many years have passed, I have to experience it once every year, and I have slowly gotten used to it.”
Speaking up to here, the Grand Princess shook her head and laughed, “Maybe I am old, but I am still a little unaccustomed to it. When I heard that Xiao Mo was going onto the battlefield, I couldn’t help but become worried. “I don’t want to go anywhere. It would be boring if I saw too many gazes from those people. No matter how much I say, I won’t be able to bear a bit of the burden for me. I just feel that there’s nothing left to say.”
Shen Qi really admired her, “How did you manage to endure that?” She had sent his husband to the battlefield, yet he still had to send his son there. Now that he was a grandson, what kind of feelings did he have to face this?
The Grand Princess smiled bitterly, “This is their mission. Being born in such a noble family, they must accomplish their mission. Being able to die on the battlefield is a symbol of glory.”
At this time, Shen Qi said: “They will definitely come back!” Her eyes were firm and her tone was serious.
The Grand Princess looked at her. “You are much stronger than I thought. You should have this kind of conviction.” Otherwise, he didn’t even know how he would live his life.
Shen Qi raised her head and looked outside the window without saying a word. This kind of atmosphere was too heavy …
The Grand Princess did not speak at this time, and the room quieted down.
“Have you ever thought about begging the emperor to never let Xiao Mo have to go onto the battlefield again?” Shen Qi suddenly asked.
The Grand Princess smiled and shook her head, only to see Shen Qi looking at her doubtfully and saying, “They were born in the army camp, and that was their root. These things were all assimilated into their bones and blood, and were indispensable, if they were to be kept in the battlefield forever, perhaps their lives would have lost their value and meaning.
Shen Qi nodded her head to express her understanding. His Royal Highness probably thought the same way, since he was the Da Xia Empire’s War God, the spiritual pillar of the people and soldiers. So he had to go, no matter what was in front of him.
“The Xiao family is the protector god of the Da Xia Empire, and General Xiao is the hero of the Da Xia Empire. He is worthy of respect and admiration. The hero of the Da Xia Empire has protected the safety of the citizens, so he deserves their love and support.” Hero can no longer shed tears after bleeding.
She knew that Shen Qi truly admired the few generals of the Xiao family, and felt from the bottom of her heart that they should be trusted and valued.
Moreover, her words were a disguised expression of her attitude. If there was a chance that the wangfei would also protect her in the future, then that would be enough. She was old and had limited protection for the Xiao family.
Calculating that it was already September, the time for King Qinguang to arrive, after adapting for a while, Shen Qi had already begun to return to normal. Her days still needed to go on, and not much time was left for her to feel sad.
Shen Qi calculated the time, and one of the things that would happen this month was the matter of Shen Jianing giving birth. As someone who wanted to be a Little Aunt, he had to express himself at all costs, thus, he prepared what he should have in advance.
She had just been preparing for a few days, and when she heard the servants of the Marquis Zhong Yong Mansion requesting to see the wangfei, Shen Qi immediately frowned. Other than Shen Jianing’s maids, who else would come to request to see her, and they were all panicking because something must have happened to Shen Jianing.
Therefore, he hurriedly ordered, “Bring him in, meet me at the Flower Hall.”
Knowing that the situation was urgent, Li Shun did not dare delay any longer and immediately jogged to the door to bring the people in. They came very quickly, and when Shen Qi saw that it was actually Shen Jianing who was beside Shen Jianing, he knew that the situation was urgent. Her voice was pleading and anxious, her tears were about to fall.
Shen Qi was shocked, what happened? She quickly got Zi Zhu to help him up, “What are you doing? If I don’t say anything, how would I know how to save someone? ”
As Shen Jianing’s first servant, Mo Lan was naturally outstanding. Knowing that this was not the time to cry, she stood up to wipe her tears and quickly said: “Royal Concubine, the situation isn’t good since our young miss has activated it early, and eldest young master is not in the manor either. The decision of the Second Young Mistress rests with you, so this servant fears that she will harm the young miss, and earnestly requests that you send someone over to watch.” And then she knelt down again.
Even if the wangfei did not personally go, sending someone would still be a form of deterrence. Furthermore, the people who came out of the Duke Palaces could still stop them, but the young mistress was not like them, who were completely suppressed by an offending title, hence could not change Master’s decision. Thus, when Mo Lan saw that the situation was bad, she hurriedly and stealthily ran out to the Duke Palaces to call for reinforcements.
She was afraid that the young miss would be in danger if she was late. Whenever the Second Young Madam looked at the young lady’s stomach with such hatred, they would not ignore it, so they would be so anxious when they saw that she was about to interfere.
When Shen Qi heard this, she knew that this Second Young Madam was not someone to be trifled with. She must have some sort of hidden motive, thus, she did not delay and directly called for Feng Kang: “Bring a few people with you to the house of the Marquis to guard this concubine’s Second Sister, no one is allowed to enter. Otherwise, do not be courteous, if anything happens, this concubine will bear the responsibility.”
Feng Kang had especially left orders for his with Shen Qi before he left, so he was naturally the only one who acted according to his orders. Upon hearing the orders from the wangfei, he immediately cupped his fists and said, “Your subordinate understands!” Then, he took large strides and left towards the Marquis Zhong Yong Mansion with his men.
When Mo Lan heard her orders, she immediately felt relieved. In this critical moment, if it was still the princess who could help her young miss, she would not dare to stay here for too long. She was still worried about what would happen in the manor, so she had to follow Feng Kang and the others back after thanking the princess.
Shen Qi did not stop her, she still had to rush over after tidying up a bit, whatever she didn’t know, since she knew, there was no point in sitting down and doing nothing, thus she ordered Zi Zhu, “Change my clothes, we will also go over to have a look.” Then she turned to the Wang Ma and said, “Auntie, take the things you prepared, they should be useful now.”
Zi Zhu and the others started to get busy as soon as they heard him, and after a while, they finished packing. Shen Qi then led the group to Marquis Zhong Yong Mansion.
