Wealth and glory seek stability

After feeling the pulse, Dr. Guo looked at the two of them and said in a soothing tone, "Don't worry, Madam. Everything is fine. It is normal for you to be easily tired in the early stages of pregnancy. You don't have to pay special attention to your daily diet. You can eat whatever you want. It is summer now, so eating more fruits is good for the fetus."

Ordinary women cannot afford to eat good food when they are pregnant, but someone of Dongfang Wenying’s status will not lack nutrition on a daily basis.

Upon hearing this, Jian Xi added, "I heard that children born from eating grapes have big, round eyes."

Dongfang Wenying laughed and said, "Xier also knows this?" But she also kept it in mind. She would ask the purchasing manager to buy more grapes for her to eat in the future.

Doctor Guo shook her head. Grapes are a rare fruit and are rarely cultivated in Beijing. If they can be found, they have to be transported over long distances and are expensive, so ordinary people cannot afford them.

But it won’t cause any problems if you eat it.

Shen Nanxing was still thinking about Jian Xi's marriage. "You need to take care of your pregnancy now, and Xi'er's wedding is coming soon. I wonder if you can ask your mother-in-law to find some help to arrange Xi'er's wedding."

Jian Xi raised her eyes. She didn't expect that this careless brother was still concerned about her marriage.

Dongfang Wenying patted Shen Nanxing's hand and scolded with a smile, "You underestimate me too much. My younger sister's marriage is a serious matter. I have asked my mother for a very experienced nanny who has experienced weddings and funerals in the Marquis's Mansion. The betrothal gifts and other matters have been prepared. Even the clothes, colorful silks and the banquets for entertaining the guests on the day are all trivial matters. I have already reserved thirty tables of fine banquets at Tianxiang Tower."

Suddenly remembering something, Dongfang Wenying became anxious and sat up to look at Jian Xi, "Oh, I forgot my wedding dress and hair crown."

Jian Xi blinked. Does that mean wedding dress and jewelry?

She didn't seem prepared either.

Zi Cui came forward with a tray of tea and snacks and put one of the snacks into Bai Zhi's hand. Bai Zhi looked at Doctor Guo cautiously before holding the snack in her arms. Seeing that her master didn't blame her, she couldn't help but secretly eat a small piece.

How sweet! The little person's eyes are curved into crescents.

Female doctor Guo saw this from the corner of her eye but said nothing. It seemed that she had been too strict with this little disciple in the past. Seeing that they were discussing family matters, she didn't want to stay for long. She bowed and took Bai Zhi to leave.

When Bai Zhi left, she looked back at Jian Xi who was lying on the recliner. Jian Xi noticed it and smiled back. Bai Zhi looked like she was caught doing something wrong. Her face turned red and she trotted a few steps to catch up with Doctor Guo.

"Xi'er?"

Jian Xi came back to her senses, "What happened?"

Dongfang Wenying: “….”

Zi Cui took a bunch of flowers and placed them on the table to the side to trim them. She smiled and said, "Yu Lan said that as early as the day the engagement was made, the Gao family had sent someone to ask for the young lady's measurements and asked Meng Da from Baoxiu Textile to personally embroider the wedding dress. The phoenix crown was sent by Mr. Gao yesterday. He said that he had asked craftsmen to rush to make it in a few days. It is a crown with kingfisher feathers and gold thread."

Jian Xi was stunned. She didn't expect him to be so thoughtful.

Dongfang Wenying breathed a sigh of relief. The Gao family was indeed very dedicated. "Xier is so lucky. She is so considerate before getting married. Her future brother-in-law will definitely be a caring person."

Shen Nanxing didn't quite agree, "He is lucky to marry my sister."

Jian Xi and Dongfang Wenying smiled at each other, and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

Speaking of revenge, Jian Xi remembered that in order to get the soldiers guarding the city to take action, she injured the leader inside.

"Brother, I was in a hurry yesterday and injured a soldier guarding the city. That soldier had a rough build and was dressed differently from the other soldiers. I wonder how his injuries are?"

She had no choice but to ask the soldiers to detain the carriage under such circumstances. She also took action to prevent the soldiers guarding the city from wanting to avoid trouble.

For many things, you won’t feel the pain unless the knife stabs you.

She wanted to live, so she had to do this without regrets.

Shen Nanxing thought for a moment, "That's Brother Liu Wu. He's been in the same tent with me since I entered the military camp. He's steady and mature, so I specifically asked General Xu to bring him under my command. But he didn't tell me how he got the wound on his body. If the brothers knew that he was stabbed like this by a woman, they would probably laugh their heads off."

Jian Xi thought about it and it made sense. These men in the army were the most chauvinistic. If he said he was injured while fighting the enemy, it would be okay. If others knew that he was stabbed by a woman, they would be laughed to death.

"Even so, I can't help but thank you. I heard that someone died that day. I will pay double the pension to the families of those soldiers. If there are any who are in financial difficulty, I will help them as much as I can. In addition, I have prepared a generous gift for the officers and soldiers who were on guard that day. Brother Liu Wu will prepare a double portion. Please pass it on to me."

"Of course." Shen Nanxing waved his hand. People who have been to the battlefield have long since put life and death aside. He has people he cares about in his heart, so he will train harder every day, striving to protect himself on the battlefield and not let his family worry.

The next day is the Great Court Meeting.

Xuanyuan Zangzhen then impeached Shen Nanxing, "Your Majesty, Shen Nanxing abused his power and detained the envoy of the Xuanwu Dynasty innocently. He deserves death! I hope Your Majesty will see clearly."

Emperor Xuanyuan narrowed his eyes, looking at Shen Nanxing with a dignified look, "Oh? Are you serious, Lord Shen?"

Shen Nanxing stepped out of the line and said, "Your Majesty, the Xuanwu Dynasty brothers and sisters were arrogant and allowed their secret guards to break into the city gate, killing three soldiers guarding the city and injuring two.

Zhang Cen'er broke into my mansion. My wife was pregnant and my younger sister was injured. She provoked me and even used weapons. The servants in my house fought desperately to save my younger sister and my wife.

Zhang Cen'er broke into the prison of the Ministry of Justice and made several provocative remarks. I detained her and her brother. It happened that Song Tixing was on leave yesterday, so the two of them spent the night in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. "

Wang Xu, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, responded, "Your Majesty, without the written document of the Ministry of Justice and your Majesty's order, trespassing into the prison of the Ministry of Justice is a capital crime. Trespassing into the residence of an official and insulting the women in the family is punishable by fifty strokes of the cane."

Wang Xu is Mrs. Wang's cousin, and Dongfang Wenying is Wang Xu's cousin. When she heard that someone was bullying the Wang family, she immediately came out to speak for Shen Nanxing.

Xuanyuan Zangzhen snorted coldly.

"How did General Shen know that the criminals at the city gate were the secret guards from the Xuanwu Dynasty? What if some people were crying thief?"

Shen Nanxing continued, "Your Majesty, Mr. Gao at the city gate was also a witness. He saw with his own eyes that the villain used the unique Qinggong of the Xuanwu royal family's secret guards."

He had fought with people from the Xuanwu Dynasty. These were all taught to him by Xu Mao when they were on the northern grasslands.

Gao Yunhuai said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I can testify."

Seeing Emperor Xuanyuan looking at him with sharp eyes, Xuanyuan Zangzhen argued: "Nonsense, it is obvious that Shen Nanxing is deliberately looking for trouble just for him..."

Before he could finish, Xuanyuan Qiyuan interrupted, "Your Highness Prince Lu, please be careful with your words. Zhang Cen'er is your future princess consort. You should avoid suspicion in this matter. Zhang Xuanyu and his sister are arrogant and despicable. Please make a decision, Your Majesty."

For the sake of his son-in-law Xuanyuan Qiyuan, Lan Cheng handed the prepared letter to Emperor Xuanyuan.
