After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

The next day, Xiao Minshen came over early in the morning.

When Shen Yunjin saw Xiao Minshen come in, she hurriedly asked the maid to serve tea.

"You don't have to worry about anything. Just sit down." Xiao Minshen pulled Shen Yunjin to sit down.

"Did Concubine Ning make things difficult for you yesterday? Why didn't you send someone to look for me?" Xiao Minshen looked Shen Yunjin up and down.

Yesterday, Xiao Minshen was left alone by the emperor to discuss something and left the palace very late.

He heard about this from the guards after he left the palace. He wanted to come last night, but considering that Shen Yunjin was pregnant, she must have gone to bed early, so he waited until morning.

"It was a very urgent matter at that time, and Jinzhi was not here. In addition, Princess Anyang spoke up for me, so Lady Ning did not embarrass me again."

Shen Yunjin told Xiao Minshen the general idea of ​​what happened. When Xiao Minshen heard that Jinzhi was sent away, the coldness in his eyes was so great that even Shen Yunjin, who was sitting next to him, could not help but shiver.

Ning Guiren was the emperor's concubine, but her hands were indeed a little too long.

When Xiao Minshen thought of the information found by the secret guards, his eyes deepened.

Concubine Ning wanted to compete with the Queen, but she wanted to drag the Prince Qi's Mansion into the game as well. She was really overestimating her own abilities.

She didn't even think about the fact that the Queen had been in charge of the Imperial Palace for many years. How could a small noble like her without any children shake her power?

Even the imperial concubine who was much more noble than her could not get any benefits from the queen.

"Your Majesty, do you think I should host a banquet for Princess Anyang?"

"Speaking of which, this is the second time Princess Anyang has stood up for me." Shen Yunjin asked cautiously.

"It's your turn." Xiao Minshen nodded.

"I asked someone to send a message, but Anyang has always been at odds with Lady Ning, so he may not come."

"I just want to express my gratitude. Will my request embarrass His Majesty?"

"No, it just so happens that my father hopes that my brothers and I can be friendly and respectful to each other. I will call a few of my brothers to come together and set up a table in the palace. Anyang has a good relationship with the crown prince, so he will definitely come when the time comes."

"Tomorrow the king has important matters to attend to and cannot accompany you back to your parents' home. The king will try to finish it as soon as possible and come to take you back to the palace."

"No, Your Majesty is busy every day, please take care of yourself. I have so many maids around me!"

"The maid Yang Liu sent by the prince is very capable. I haven't thanked the prince yet!" Shen Yunjin smiled and added water to Xiao Minshen.

"If you think it's good, keep it. If you think it's not good, sell it and let Fu Lu find it again."

Xiao Minshen took a sip of hot tea and said nonchalantly.

"By the way, how have you been recently? Is the child bothering you?" There was an imperceptible tenderness in Xiao Minshen's tone.

Shen Yunjin stroked her belly lovingly, "No, the child is very well behaved. I can eat and sleep well. It seems that he is a caring little cotton-padded jacket."

After she finished speaking, she realized that she seemed to have said the wrong thing.

Xiao Minshen didn't mind. He was looking forward to having both a daughter and a son.

The two chatted about family matters for a while, and seeing that Shen Yunjin looked tired, Xiao Minshen suggested going to the study to handle official business.

"I will come over for dinner tonight." After saying this, Xiao Minshen walked out.

Alas, I have to deal with official business during the New Year. It seems that being a prince is not an easy job.

Shen Yunjin was sighing one second and playing chess with Zhou Gong the next.

When night fell, Xiao Minshen arrived as promised.

Shen Yunjin hurriedly stood up, changed Xiao Minshen's clothes personally, and prepared to wring a towel to wipe his hands.

Xiao Minshen pulled her helplessly, "Let the maids come, you better be careful of the baby in your belly."

After the two of them sat down, the maids came in one after another and put the meal on the table.

Xiao Minshen found that many of the dishes were his favorites, and his heart couldn't help but be moved.

Over the years, no one has ever known his preferences.

He has a sweet tooth and also likes hot and sour dishes.

Sweet and sour fish, cherry meat, pine nut corn, and sweet and sour pork are all his favorites.

New Year’s Eve dinners are mostly light meals. Xiao Minshen’s expression softened a lot as he could finally eat his favorite food.

After dinner, Xiao Minshen held a cup of tea and chatted with Shen Yunjin about family matters.

"When spring comes to that mountain villa, I will order people to start mining."

"On the farm, I plan to arrange some people to build a workshop there first."

"What is the prince going to do?"

"This mine cannot be known to outsiders. The people I sent there are all dead warriors who have signed a death contract."

Shen Yunjin nodded, "If you want to conceal your tracks, the prince can order people to grow sisal while processing it into hemp ropes for sale."

There is a thorny plant on the mountain with a very vivid name, called sisal, which is the best plant for making hemp rope.

"Yes, I am also planning to have people plant bamboo on a large scale, and then we will be able to make all kinds of bamboo products in the workshop."

"After the spring, Linglong may have to stay there for a while. I will let her come back before you give birth."

"Yeah." Shen Yunjin agreed. Although there was Doctor Li, Linglong could not make her feel more at ease.

Even though Linglong is only a teenager.

"Over at the Hot Spring Villa, I heard that you were planning to plant fruit trees?" This was what the village head told him.

"Well, I am greedy and want to eat all kinds of fruits at any time."

Speaking of this, Shen Yunjin smiled embarrassedly.

She conceived her baby there. She felt that it was her blessed land and wanted to turn it into a paradise.

When the child is older, you can take him there and stay for a few days.

It must be very pleasant to enjoy the flowers in spring and eat fruits in summer and autumn.

The lamp flickered a few times before Shen Yunjin realized it was already late.

However, Xiao Minshen showed no intention of leaving.

"My Lord, it's getting late, you..."

"I will stay here with my concubine tonight." Xiao Minshen sat there motionless.

Huh? Shen Yunjin opened his mouth slightly.

"I am pregnant and cannot serve you, Your Majesty. Would you like to go and rest somewhere else?"

Shen Yunjin spoke very carefully.

Not only in the rich and powerful families, but also in ordinary families, when a woman is pregnant, the man will sleep in a separate room from her.

What's more, there is no shortage of women in Prince Qi's mansion. As long as he wants, he can queue for one from the mansion to the palace.

Xiao Minshen's face darkened.

Other women would like to tie their husbands to their side.

But this little woman pushed him out?

"What do you think of me? I'm so hungry that I won't choose what to eat? I've endured for decades, so I don't need a little effort."

Listening to Xiao Minshen's angry words, Shen Yunjin wisely chose to shut up.

After the two of them took a shower and changed their clothes, Xiao Minshen hugged Shen Yunjin into his arms.

The subtle fragrance of the woman after bathing went straight into his nose.

He underestimated his self-control. Ever since Shen Yunjin became pregnant, he hadn't had sex with a woman.

He couldn't help but move his body to hide his embarrassment.

Shen Yunjin, who was already drowsy, was hit by a hard object and immediately woke up.

She wanted to pretend to be asleep and know nothing, but when she saw Xiao Minshen's forbearing look, she couldn't help but want to tease him.

"Are you serious? You can help me?" When Xiao Minshen heard Shen Yunjin's words, a wolf-like light flashed in his eyes.
