Xiahou Xuan only received a roll of the eyes from Jiang Wange.

She ignored him and continued digging bamboo shoots.

Xiahou Xuan touched his nose awkwardly, then squatted beside Jiang Wange.

"I'll help you dig bamboo shoots."

Jiang Wange glanced at Xiahou Xuan suspiciously, "Your Majesty, there is no need to condescend to accompany me to dig bamboo shoots. I can do it alone."

"That won't do. Wanwan has turned into a little clay doll, so I can't be spared. I want to make a pair of clay dolls with Wanwan."

Xiahou Xuan didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, but to Jiang Wange, it sounded like a sweet love talk.

Then the clay doll couple began to squat on the ground and dig bamboo shoots together, and did not allow other palace servants to help.

Qianyue Yujin and the others just stood aside, unable to interrupt the sweet atmosphere between His Majesty and the Queen.

"Look, Yujin, His Majesty really spoils the Queen and even plays along with her."

Qianyue covered her mouth and laughed, whispering to Yujin.

"Yes, Your Majesty and Your Majesty are so happy. I think no matter how many women Your Majesty has in his harem, our Your Majesty is the most unique one. Has Your Majesty ever treated anyone else the way he treats Your Majesty?"

Yu Jin said proudly that she was honored and thought their queen was truly amazing.

Yu Feng just chuckled and said nothing. Yes, the relationship between His Majesty and the Queen is getting better and better.

After working for half an hour, the Niwa couple finally dug out the bamboo shoots. They handed them to the small kitchen and instructed them to cook two or three dishes with bamboo shoots in the evening. One of them, fried bamboo shoots with bacon, was chosen by Jiang Wange, and the other dishes were left to the small kitchen to prepare.

After doing all this, Xiahou Xuan took Jiang Wange to wash his hands.

Xiahou Xuan didn't mind that there was dirt in the gaps between Jiang Wange's nails, and he carefully cleaned the dirt.

Only after Jiang Wange's hands became delicate and white again did Xiahou Xuan begin to clean his hands.

Today's lunch was eaten on the stone table in the yard.

The breeze is very refreshing.

Originally, Jiang Wange wanted the wet nurse to hold Tuan Tuan together, but the wet nurse said that the eldest prince was young and weak, so it was not suitable for him to stay in such an environment for a long time, so it was better for the eldest prince to stay in the house.

Hearing this, Jiang Wange did not force it. She and Xiahou Xuan just sat on the stone bench, waiting for the kitchen to serve all the dishes.

Today's lunch includes fried bamboo shoots with bacon, eight-treasure rice, bamboo shoot and mushroom soup, cold shredded bamboo shoots, and a roasted pigeon.

Jiang Wange was drooling just by seeing it. After looking up at Xiahou Xuan, he started eating right away.

Xiahou Xuan didn't say anything. After all, Wanwan had always been unruly in front of him.

He just liked her casualness and didn't want to restrict her.

"Hmm~~ Your Majesty, this bacon fried with bamboo shoots is really delicious, try it!"

After saying that, Jiang Wange directly picked up a large chopstick and put it into Xiahou Xuan's bowl, forgetting to use the serving chopsticks.

When Hai Dezi was about to remind Jiang Wange that he should use serving chopsticks to serve food to His Majesty, he saw His Majesty enjoying the food without any hesitation.

After seeing this, Haidezi secretly thanked his lucky stars that he did not rashly remind her, otherwise he would be the one who would be embarrassed.

"Well, it's really good. The bamboo shoots grown by Wanwan are delicious."

"I also think it's my credit. Let me try the soup again. If it tastes good, Your Majesty, have another bowl."

After saying that, Jiang Wange scooped a bowl with a spoon, took a sip, and then sighed:

"Ah - what is meant by delicacies from land and sea? This is it! Your Majesty, you must drink two bowls. This soup is so delicious, much better than those bird's nest soups."

Jiang Wange highly recommends this bamboo shoot and mushroom soup.

Xiahou Xuan chuckled, then motioned to Haidezi to scoop him a bowl, lowered his head to take a sip, and then nodded politely:

"Well, Wanwan said it tastes good, so it can't be bad."

Both of them were very satisfied with the meal, and Xiahou Xuan also ate one more bowl of rice than usual, which surprised Haidezi.

Since His Majesty came of age, he has always eaten only one bowl of rice and never had a second bowl. But now His Majesty has been behaving more and more out of character, and these are all changes brought about by Concubine Xi Hui.

Very good!

After eating and drinking, the two continued to sit in the yard to enjoy the breeze, and then drank some tea. When most of the food in their stomachs was digested, they went back to the house for a nap.

The palace servants were also very discerning. After they returned to the house, they carried the eldest prince in and asked him to take a nap with His Majesty and His Majesty.

Then Xiahou Xuan, Jiang Wange and Tuan Tuan slept on a big bed. Tuan Tuan slept in the middle with his eyes closed, sleeping soundly.

Xiahou Xuan put one arm under Jiang Wange's neck and let her sleep with her head resting on his arm.

When she woke up, Xiahou Xuan was gone, and only Tuan Tuan was staring at Jiang Wange with his big round eyes.

Jiang Wange woke up and started playing with Tuantuan.

The next morning, after getting up, washing, and rushing to Ci'an Palace.

"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother..."

"Please sit down. Your father will be coming to the palace soon. Please wait with me."

"Yes."

So Concubine Shu sat quietly aside, eating tea and snacks, waiting for Xia Chonghe's arrival.

"Your humble servant has met the Empress Dowager and the Consort Shu, and I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager and the Consort Shu——"

Even though Xia Chonghe was the elder of the Empress Dowager and Concubine Shu, he still bowed to them obediently according to the rules.

After the ceremony, the Queen Mother asked Xia Chonghe to stand up.

After Xia Chonghe took his seat, the empress dowager dismissed all the palace servants, including Rou'er, who had always been serving Concubine Shu closely.

Without Rou'er by her side, Concubine Shu felt a little insecure, but she still waited patiently for them to speak.

After the Queen Mother gave Xia Chong a look, Xia Chonghe spoke.

"Qing Huan, you got pregnant at the right time. You can say that you gave the Xia family a chance to fight."

When Xia Chonghe saw that there was no one else around, he called Concubine Shu by her maiden name. Concubine Shu took a while to react before realizing that her real name was Xia Qinghuan.

"What do you mean, father?" Concubine Shu asked, pretending to know nothing.

"Uncle, it's time to tell Concubine Shu about our plan. After all, without her and the baby in her belly, our plan cannot be completed."

The Queen Mother curled her lips and looked at Xia Chonghe, signaling him to speak boldly.

After receiving instructions from the Queen Mother, Xia Chonghe no longer had any concerns.

"Qinghuan, the Xia family is unwilling to be ruled by the Xiahou family. As long as you can give birth to a prince, our Xia family will rise up and become the new ruler of Fengyu Country. So this time, you must strive to be a good child."

Xia Chonghe looked at Concubine Shu with high hopes.
