The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Shi Chengyi recuperated at home for a few months and recovered. He became fairer, fatter, and his face was rosy and shiny.

But his eyes were not as bright and wise as before, and he lacked the high spirits he had when he went to Yucheng.

I guess even though you are warm and caring at home, you still feel lost sometimes.

The outside world is in turmoil, experiencing the greatest change of the dynasty. Like a baptism, many people and many positions are changing.

The people he knew earlier were all transferred to the most suitable positions for the court. However, he was still in mourning, and could only spend the morning and evening with a cup of tea and a copy of Yijing Weekly.

During the three-year mourning period, it is unknown whether he will be able to keep up with the ever-changing pace of the court by then.

Shi Chengyi looked at his nephew-in-law who was tall and handsome, and felt a little sad.

Minister of the Northern Propaganda Department!

How young and energetic!

This is the best age in life! But he...actually felt a sense of heaviness as if he had reached old age.

He reached out and patted Cen Yuan affectionately, "Well, Xia'er married a good husband! He's young and promising!"

Cen Yuan's whole body froze after being slapped, and the uncontrollable pain hit his heart again, making his face pale.

I don't know how much effort it took to keep my body steady, my fists were full of sweat.

Yu Sujun noticed something was wrong and her eyes turned red. "Yuan'er, Xia'er hasn't woken up yet? She is a lucky person, don't worry too much."

She thought Cen Yuan looked bad because Shi Anxia was unconscious, so she tried to comfort her.

Cen Yuan suppressed the intense pain and tried to put on a smile. "I think he will wake up soon. Thank you for your concern, aunt."

Yu Sujun asked again, "Is it convenient for us to go into the house and take a look at Xia'er today?"

Cen Yuan nodded, "Please come in."

A few people went into the west wing to see Shi Anxia. As soon as they reached the door, they heard Tang Xinghe speaking loudly through the silk screen, "Cousin, wake up quickly. If you don't wake up, your cousin's husband will go crazy. He actually smiled at us today, which was creepy."

Ma Chuyang nudged Tang Xinghe with his elbow and said, "Stop talking, my cousin's husband is here."

Many people rushed into the room at once.

Since everyone wanted to come and see Shi Anxia, ​​Cen Yuan didn't want to refuse their kindness, so she placed a silk screen with ink painting in front of the bed, through which the bed curtain was vaguely visible.

Everyone was polite and stopped outside the screen.

Only Shi Anxue was young, so she quietly walked over and touched Shi Anxia's face with her little face, "Sister, wake up soon. I've wanted to come and see you for a long time, but my parents wouldn't let me, saying they were afraid of disturbing my sister's rest. In fact, you really want us to come and see you, right?"

She remembered something, turned around and walked out from behind the screen to look for Yu Sujun, and stretched out her hand, saying, "Mother, didn't we pray for a peace amulet for Sister Xia'er yesterday? Hurry up and put it next to Sister's pillow. The Buddha will bless Sister to wake up soon."

Yu Sujun nodded quickly and carefully took out a purse from her sleeve. In the purse was the amulet that they had specifically asked Master Hongda for.

Shi Anxue carefully placed the amulet next to Shi Anxia's pillow, and asked Shi Yunzhou across the screen, "Brother, do you have anything to say to Sister Xia'er?"

"Ah?" Shi Yunzhou looked at the back of his cousin-in-law Cen Yuan as he quietly left the room. For some reason, he had the illusion that he was unwelcome.

Cen Yuan left the room and let out a long breath. He really couldn't control himself and remain calm when Shi Chengyi's family came.

In fact, it was not against Shi Chengyi's family, but simply against Shi Chengyi. Yu Sujun did not come today, and she had been in the Young Master's Mansion for the past few days, shuttling between Yusheng Pavilion and Tinglan Courtyard.

Now that A Niang and Shi An Xia, one big and one small, are both ill, the mansion is very busy. Yu Sujun and Wei Cailing are the ones helping to take care of things.

With the two of them around, the house was in good order. Of course, without them, it wouldn't be that chaotic. But with someone to make decisions on all matters, the servants would be much more cautious in doing things.

The voices behind him faded away, and his pain gradually subsided. Cen Yuan thought about it and simply hid in Shen Siyuan's yard.

Li Jinxiu personally made tea for them and said generously, "You guys chat, I'll go to Yu Sheng Pavilion to see if there's anything I can help with."

After saying this, she gave a few instructions to the maidservants serving in the courtyard and left.

Shen Siyuan felt that the move was worth it. "My daughter Xiuxiu is very close to your two old ladies. They have become familiar with each other in just a few days. Yes, I heard that she is also familiar with your aunt and sister-in-law. I don't worry about her not being able to adapt to life in the capital now."

Cen Yuan was preoccupied and didn't respond to him.

Shen Siyuan chattered on and on for a long time, but when he got no response, he shut up.

He drank tea and flipped through yellowed books.

After an unknown amount of time, he closed the book, remembered something, and asked, "Prince Consort, have you read the book that the Emperor said?"

Cen Yuan raised her eyes, "What do you want to ask?"

"I want to ask, oh, I want to ask the doctor in the book, why is he childless?"

Cen Yuan picked up the teacup and took a sip, which tasted a bit like the taste of alcohol. She replied lazily, "Which storybook would you read that would write about why a supporting character has no children?"

Shen Siyuan was furious, "Supporting role?"

supporting role!

He suddenly had a flash of inspiration. If Shi Anxia was the queen mother in the storybook, then the prince consort in front of him...

Oh my goodness! This is a deafening, thunderous, and tear-jerking book!

Then shouldn't the prince consort be the young emperor of some country? Which country? Which country could it be?

Haha, could it be the young emperor of Wan? It doesn't seem like the appearance of a person from that country. He will have to check the historical records of various countries to see which country had a young emperor forced to abdicate.

No, no, no, that's not right. The point shouldn't be this. The point is that the prince consort was a great contributor to their northern wing, but he was harmed by a few heartless people.

He only knew that among those people, one was Zhuo Qiran, but he didn't know the others... Oh my God, weren't Lord Wang and the others sent out of the capital without any warning?

Shen Siyuan stood up suddenly and stared at Cen Yuan, "'Hundred Qi Bone-Splitting Powder'!"

The prince consort was poisoned by "Bai Qi Lie Gu San", which was why he felt so much pain and fainted.

Cen Yuan reached out and picked up the kettle to pour tea for herself, then poured tea for Shen Siyuan, and said slowly, "A storybook is just a storybook, don't take it seriously. The emperor just thought that the Zhuyou technique mentioned in the storybook might be helpful for you to study this method, so he told you about it. Don't take it personally."

Shen Siyuan sat back down heavily. "The princess once painted Xiuxiu's old age. How do you explain this?"

"She's being naughty and teasing you." Cen Yuan raised her eyes calmly, "It's no good trying to get to the bottom of some things."

Shen Siyuan said aggrievedly, "I just want to know why the imperial physician has no children."

Cen Yuan was silent for a moment. "The doctor in the storybook doesn't have children, but you can have one. I've found your wife, why are you still asking about the storybook? You have time to think about those things all day long, why not focus on curing the disease?"

Why bother asking when the baby is already born! What a fool!
