Chapter 381: Cannot Leave the House
Sihe put away his whisk and said slowly, "The Queen has just sent someone to invite Your Majesty to have dinner with her. Go and refuse her invitation."
The young eunuch's heart trembled when he heard this, and he looked at him with despair.
"Master, can someone else go? Since His Majesty got married, I have been the one to respond. When the people in Chaoxia Palace see me, their faces turn green."
Sihe shook his head helplessly. He felt quite sympathetic in his heart, but it was his duty and he had to do his job impartially.
"You kid, if you are asked to go, then go. What I want is for them to be annoyed when they see you. If you annoy them, His Majesty won't be annoyed."
The young eunuch nodded with a bitter face, then turned resignedly and walked towards the Chaoxia Palace.
I secretly grumbled to myself that life in the harem was really harder than in the palace.
At this time, Yaojia and Nanshan had already left the palace.
At the palace gate, only the Nangong Mansion’s carriage was parked.
"Where is sir's carriage?"
"I came here on foot."
Yao Jia's mouth twitched slightly. It was at least twenty miles from the outskirts of Beijing to here.
"Sir, you have great legs. You asked me to wait just to take my carriage, right?"
"Pavilion Master has a brilliant plan. I admire him."
Yao Jia couldn't help laughing and patted Nan Shan's arm. "Sir, you are getting better and better at joking. Did you really think I forgot that you can use the 'Transfer Formation'?"
As he spoke, he got into the carriage with the help of Nanshan.
The carriage is spacious and comfortable, with soft cushions and a small charcoal basin, making this small space as warm as spring.
The carriage started slowly, passed through the bustling streets, and headed towards the wonton shop in the south of the city.
Yao Jia sat opposite Nanshan, leaning on the cushion, but no matter how she leaned, she felt uncomfortable and kept changing her posture.
Seeing this, Nanshan said softly, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Let me help you adjust it."
As he spoke, he sat down next to Yao Jia, put the cushion next to himself, and let Yao Jia lean on him through the cushion.
He also carefully placed a soft pillow behind her waist so that there was no gap between her body and the car wall.
Leaning on him like this, Yao Jia indeed felt much more comfortable. A warm current surged in her heart, and she looked at Nanshan with gratitude.
"Thank you, sir."
Nanshan shook his head and responded gently: "Between you and me, there is no need to thank me."
The carriage fell into a brief silence, with only the slight bumps of the carriage and the occasional noise coming from outside the window.
The two of them were sitting close to each other in a closed space, and Yao Jia suddenly smelled a fragrance.
It still came from Nanshan.
But this fragrance is not sandalwood, but a light sweet peach scent.
"Sir, did you change the spices?"
Nanshan's eyes flickered and he uttered a soft "hmm".
Yao Jia couldn't help but move closer to him and sniffed, "This spice smells really good, with a hint of sweetness in the fragrance, like eating a peach. Where did you buy it? I want it too."
Nanshan felt her approaching and smelled the unique fragrance that belonged to her. His cheeks turned slightly red and his voice became a little softer.
"This is not a spice sold on the market. I specially mixed it. It does contain peach ingredients, but it also incorporates several other herbs. It has the effect of calming the mind and nourishing the fetus, and is especially suitable for pregnant women."
Yao Jia's eyes flashed with surprise, and then with a bit of joking: "Sir is really careful, even the preferences of pregnant women are studied so thoroughly."
He stepped back and put away his playful expression.
"My husband is so good to me, so he must be even more attentive to his ex-wife."
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Yao Jia suddenly stopped, realizing that she might have touched some of Nanshan's private feelings, and she couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
Nanshan's expression paused for a moment, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes as he looked at her.
Yao Jia felt even more remorseful and apologized to Nanshan with an apologetic look on her face.
"Sir, I'm used to speaking without restraint, so don't take it personally."
Nanshan shook his head slightly and forced a smile, which contained a hint of bitterness that was barely perceptible.
Yao Jia's heart suddenly twisted and she lowered her head in panic.
Nanshan looked at her tenderly, as if he could see the distant past through her. "It's okay. She has been gone for many years. She has been reincarnated as a human being and is living a very happy life."
After hearing this, Yao Jia finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Nanshan raised his hand to tidy up her hair. "If you like the perfume I have on me, I will send it to you in a few days. But you should not walk around before you give birth."
"Why?" Yao Jia looked towards Nanshan in confusion.
Nanshan sighed softly and explained, "You are pregnant now, and it is inconvenient for you to move. Kyoto is a bustling city with many people and eyes. What if something goes wrong? What's more, you may be born prematurely."
Nanshan’s words are always accurate.
Yao Jia immediately held her stomach with a look of horror, "What should I do, sir? I really want to eat wontons today."
Nanshan laughed, "It's okay today, I'll take care of everything, just eat as much as you want."
With his words, Yao Jia felt relieved.
From that day on, she stayed at home all day and even declined An He's invitation to a thank-you banquet. She just stayed at home and waited for the birth of her baby.
A few days later, Nanshan fulfilled his promise that day and sent Yaojia spices and a large basket of peaches.
After coming, he only sat for a short while and then left in a hurry.
When leaving, he still reminded Yao Jia that unless it was something urgent, she must never leave Nangong Mansion.
Yao Jia nodded in response, but she was also wondering in her heart, could it be that her premature birth was related to going out?
"Huahua, from now on, refuse any invitation. Even if someone in the palace invites me, I will not go."
Unexpectedly, as soon as she said this, the next day Qi Shu sent someone to invite her to the palace for a chat.
"Excuse me, eunuch, why did the Queen invite my master to the palace?" Bai Huahua supported Yao Jia and asked the eunuchs standing in front of the Nangong gate.
"This..." The eunuch paused, then smiled and said, "It's just a gathering of noble ladies. Your Majesty just said that you haven't seen your good sisters for a long time and miss them very much, so you invited the Pavilion Master to the palace to reminisce about the past."
Yao Jia was suspicious. Although she and Qi Shu knew each other, it was a bit far-fetched to say that they were good sisters.
Holding her pregnant belly, she smiled and said, "The Queen is so kind to me, and I shouldn't refuse. But my father-in-law has also seen that I am too pregnant to move around."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across the eunuch's face, but he immediately smiled and replied respectfully: "The Pavilion Master is right, but the Queen has made up her mind, so we have specially prepared a sedan chair for you to ensure that the journey will not be bumpy."
As he spoke, he pointed to a gorgeously decorated sedan chair and asked Bai Huahua to take a look.
Bai Huahua went forward to check.
The sedan was made of fine silk, with soft cushions inside and decorated with elegant incense. It was obviously specially prepared for Yao Jia.
But since Yao Jia said she couldn't go, he naturally had to find some excuse to refuse.
Pointing at the incense in the sedan chair, he said, "Although this incense is elegant, my mistress is pregnant now and is particularly sensitive to smells. There are many spices in the palace. If there is a conflict and affects the fetus, can you take responsibility?"
When the eunuch heard this, he immediately waved his hand.
A young eunuch came forward and took the incense out.
Bai Huahua was picky again, "Just take it out? It's been burning for so long, the smell has long been absorbed by the cushion inside, who knows if it will have any effect on the fetus?"
The eunuch smiled and said, "Ping Jun is right. Let's change another sedan chair right away."
Having said that, he asked someone to prepare it.
Bai Huahua stopped him immediately, "Come on, wait for you to bring the sedan chair over. We have to check for safety hazards and whether it is comfortable. It has been a long time. My master is already tired."
"This is not okay, that is not okay, what on earth do you mean!"
