The daily life of the concubine of the Prime Minister

Ever since he knew that Liu Yu was pregnant, Mr. Chen San stopped staying busy in the palace for days at a time and not returning home.

I will come back no matter how late it is.

The new emperor was still young, so the power in the court was temporarily handed over to Master Chen San and several ministers of state. Sometimes, when he was too busy to handle the memorials, he would bring them back to the Chen family study to handle them.

Liu Yu's days were just eating and sleeping, and sleeping and eating. At most, she was asked to do some needlework and help Yuzhentang embroider some designated embroidery pieces. As for going to Yuzhentang, she couldn't even think about it.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

This day was the day when Chen Xiyao and Qin Ke, who had gone south, returned home.

Early in the morning, before they arrived at the Chen residence, the Qin residence came to propose marriage.

Liu Yu looked outside frequently, and even though Mr. Chen San was reading a book, he couldn't help but feel it. He gently placed his palm on her slightly bulging belly.

After finishing reading this page, he put down the book and looked at her with a smile: "Let's go! Let's go and take a look too."

"Oh." Liu Yu immediately straightened his clothes, stood up and left the room. He looked extremely impatient.

"Hurry up!"

They arrived at the front hall. The betrothal gifts from the Qin family had already been carried into the house. The person who came was Qin Ke's uncle, who looked 30% like Qin Ke and was about the same age as Mr. Chen Sanye. He had a strong scholarly air from head to toe.

He bowed to Mr. Chen San and explained his purpose: "I'm here to ask for Xiyao's hand in marriage on behalf of my good-for-nothing nephew."

Master Chen glanced at the old lady, who nodded, but he did not agree immediately. He took the tea set from the maid and asked Qin Ke's uncle to make a cup of tea for her. "There's no rush. Chen Xiyao should be home soon. I'll ask her opinion first and try some of the new spring tea this year."

Qin Ke and Chen Xiyao set out at the same time. Qin Ke's uncle didn't know that they went south together. The Chen family announced to the public that Chen Xiyao had gone out to visit relatives.

Uncle Qin Ke took the tea, took a sip, and praised:

"Yes, very good. Well, that brat of mine will be back in a while, so it's okay for us to wait."

"Ah."

Mr. Chen San gave Liu Yu a cup of tea and boiled water, which completely put an end to Liu Yu's desire to drink tea.

There was no tea, but there were cakes. Although she had eaten a lot at Qinyuanju, she still ate quite a lot.

Since she was three months old, her appetite has become particularly good. She gets hungry easily and eats much more than before.

In just one month, I gained back the weight I lost in the previous three months.

Listening to them talking about things in the court, before I knew it, the plate of pastries was empty.

The servant had a keen eye and added another plate.

Finally, when she had eaten half of her meal, the doorman ran in to report that Chen Xiyao had returned.

After a while, Chen Xiyao and Qin Ke walked in one after another.

Qin Ke cupped his hands and said, “My nephew just arrived at the door and ran into Xiyao, so we came together.”

This was the statement the two had agreed upon early in the morning.

The Chen family would not expose them and would even cover up for them.

The old lady really didn't know, and she cheerfully joked with the two: "I didn't expect you two to have such a fate."

Fourth sister-in-law Li agreed: "That's right! If we are not destined to lose weight together, we will both be darker, right?"

You know what, the two of them are in exactly the same state. I would have thought they were together every day. They almost look like a married couple.

Liu Yu: We are together every day, right? It seems like a normal phenomenon.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Chen Xiyao lowered her head guiltily, her face red as if blood could drip out.

So ashamed.

Seeing her like this, the old lady narrowed her eyes, and looked at Chen Xiyao with an inquiring look.

It was Liu Yu who rescued Chen Xiyao.

She beckoned Chen Xiyao to sit next to her and raised her hand to push Master Chen San: "Didn't you say you would make a decision after they arrived?"

Mr. Chen San took over Liu Yu's words and asked Chen Xiyao and Tai Ke for their opinions.

After going south, even the concerns and opinions have become nothing.

The Chen family accepted the betrothal gift and agreed to Qin Ke’s proposal. The wedding date was set for three months later.

After seeing off the Qin family, Chen Xiyao hurriedly pulled Liu Yu to Wutong Courtyard.

The old lady shouted worriedly behind them:

"Your sister-in-law is pregnant, you should be careful!"

"understood."

……

Time flies, and three months have passed in a flash.

During these three months, Liu Yu's only pleasures were eating and sleeping, or instructing Chen Xiyao on how to embroider her wedding dress and making shoes and socks for her husband's family.

This is what a woman must do when she gets married.

This day finally arrived, the day for Chen Xiyao to get married.

This time, there were much more guests than the time when Liu Yutai became Mr. Chen Sanye’s legal wife.

There were more than 160 tables in total. Even though Mr. Chen San specially went to the palace to invite the imperial chefs and palace maids to help, they were busy from morning to night without stopping.

The last time the second wife's daughter got married, Liu Yu was busy as a top. This time, she was the one with the least time. She stayed in Wutong Courtyard to accompany Chen Xiyao.

"Yuer, were you nervous when you married my third brother?" Chen Xiyao asked nervously.

Liu Yu straightened the phoenix crown on her head and nodded:

"Of course I will. It's not a big deal at the moment, unless you don't like that person. As long as you like someone, how can you not be nervous when you marry someone you like?"

She applied lip balm on Chen Xiyao, and instantly, Chen Xiyao, who was already delicate and beautiful, became even more charming and alluring, making it hard to look away at once.

"Xiyao, you don't have to be too nervous. Even if you don't do anything, with your cute little appearance, as long as Young Master Qin lifts the veil, he will do whatever you tell him to do."

"Hate it, Liu Yu, how did you become like this Liu Yu?" Chen Xiyao was so embarrassed that she couldn't control herself.

"What's the matter with that?" Liu Yu would not admit that he had made a joke with sexual connotations.

"you……"

While the two were playing, there was a deafening sound of firecrackers outside. Liu Yu and Chen Xiyao stopped talking, and she covered Chen Xiyao with a veil with auspicious patterns of dragon and phoenix.

After a while, Qin Ke brought matchmaker Chen Xiyao out and said goodbye to the old lady and Mr. Chen San and other brothers.

Like the old lady, Liu Yu sent the newlyweds to the gate of the Chen Mansion and watched Chen Xiyao walk up the flower bridge and leave the Chen Mansion.

She suddenly felt reluctant to marry her daughter off, remembering how Chen Xiyao had treated her wholeheartedly in the Chen family's large compound, no matter if she was a concubine or the third wife now.

Besides her sore eyes, there was also the old lady who was a mother.

"Mother, the Qin Mansion is only two streets away from ours. Chen Xiyao will come to see us often." Liu Yu handed the handkerchief to the old lady.

Madam Feng agreed: "Madam, what the Third Madam said is right. The Sixth Miss is the most filial. She will definitely come back often."

The old lady wiped away the tears from her eyes, looked down at Liu Yu's belly, and finally smiled a little:

"Well, birds have to leave the nest when they grow up. This day will come sooner or later. I watched Qin Ke grow up. I am not worried about Yao'er. But you are seven months old now. You can't stand for long. Let's go in."
