Chapter 338 Hunting
Shen Xi's death was too sudden and beyond everyone's expectations.
It disrupted many people's plans.
Because of her funeral, the wedding banquet at Prince Duan's Mansion was postponed, and the marriages of the Minister of War and Prince Yu had to be delayed as well.
Every autumn, the emperor would lead civil and military officials out of the palace for hunting, and this year was no exception.
On the day of hunting, Shen Tang had just woken up and was still lazily lying in bed. Xie Guimo was about to set off. Before leaving, he went back to the room to check on Shen Tang. Seeing that Shen Tang was awake, he sat down beside the bed, pinched her nose, and said lovingly, "What kind of game do you want to eat? I'll bring it back."
"As long as it's you who plays it, I like it."
Xie Guimo smiled and said, "Your words are so sweet? Let me taste it."
He tried to come closer, but was slapped away by Shen Tang. Two maids came into the room with a copper basin to serve Shen Tang. When they heard this, they went out with red faces.
Shen Tang glared at Xie Guimo, and Xie Guimo said, "Then I'm leaving."
Take one step and look back three times.
Those who didn't know would think that he was going on a long trip and wouldn't be back for ten days or half a month.
After Xie Guimo left, Shen Tang stayed in bed for a while, then lifted the quilt and got up.
After washing up, she had breakfast. Shen Tang's appetite was getting bigger day by day. She was afraid of gaining weight, so after breakfast, she took her maid to the garden for a walk. After the princess paid her respects to the old lady and returned to the Peony Courtyard, she went to pay her respects to the princess.
As soon as they walked into the garden, a bee came from nowhere and circled around Shen Tang annoyingly. Ginkgo used an embroidered handkerchief to drive it away.
Just as Ginkgo was chasing the bees, Shen Tang vaguely remembered something and didn't bother to visit the garden and went back to Chenxiangxuan.
After searching through boxes and cabinets, he found a porcelain vase and handed it to Chen Shan, "Send it to the prince."
In the previous life, Xie Guimo took Shen Tang hunting. There were wasps in the hunting ground. Someone was so stupid that he shot down the wasp nest with an arrow. The wasps were frightened and came out of the nest in droves. They stung anyone they saw, and even the emperor was bitten.
Although such a thing may not happen again, it is better to be safe than sorry.
Wasps can sting people to death.
Xie Guimo went to the palace gate to wait for the emperor. When he arrived, Chu Yi, Lu Li and others were also there. The difference between them and Xie Guimo was that they brought their wives with them.
Hunting is a man's job, but without women cheering him on, hunting would be less interesting.
Seeing Xie Guimo coming alone, Chu Yi said, "I'm not used to you being alone."
It was definitely intentional, otherwise he wouldn't be laughing so provocatively.
But soon, Chu Yi stopped laughing. Xie Guimo said, "It's a pity, but if you have a child earlier, you can take the child hunting earlier in the future."
wipe!
Failed!
It’s so infuriating!
When he didn't have a wife, he showed off that he had one.
They have wives now, and he is showing off that he is a father.
Isn’t it just a pregnancy? Bah, isn’t it just making his wife pregnant? Who wouldn’t be able to do that!
After hunting, go back and get pregnant!
Chu Yi was furious and very unhappy.
Soon the emperor left the palace, and Prince Yu came to find them. The group walked forward talking and laughing.
Chen Shan rode over on horseback, "Master..."
Xie Guimo asked, "Why are you here?"
Chen Shan handed over the porcelain bottle. "The Crown Prince's Consort said that there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the hunting grounds. This medicine is very effective in repelling insects. She asked you to apply some for self-defense. She also told you to apply some to Prince Ning and the others as well, just in case."
"They have their own wives to take care of them, so there's no need to divide them."
Xie Guimo took the medicine bottle and put it away.
Prince Yu laughed and said, "Don't knock me down with one stick. Although my father has given me a marriage, I haven't gotten married yet. Give me some."
Chu Yi said, "Why would a grown man be afraid of snakes, insects, rats, or ants?"
Chen Shan hesitated for a moment and said to Xie Guimo, "The Crown Princess seems quite cautious. It would be better for the Crown Prince to apply some self-defense."
When the Crown Prince went hunting before, the Crown Princess did not remind him to apply the medicine, nor did she ask for it to be sent to him. It should not have been sent casually.
The Crown Prince’s Consort is not an ordinary person, so it’s better to believe what she says.
"I see."
After Chen Shan finished what Shen Tang asked him to do, he went back.
As for Shen Tang, after returning from the garden, she did not go back to the garden, nor did she go to pay her respects to the princess. She strolled around the yard twice, and with nothing to do, she embroidered a small bellyband for the baby in her belly.
Ginkgo prepared two embroidery frames for her.
One pink and one blue.
Qiu Tong asked, "Why prepare two? The Crown Prince's Consort will definitely give birth to a younger prince."
Ginkgo said, "What if the Crown Princess is also pregnant with twins? I heard from the mother in the small kitchen that the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince are twins, so there is a high possibility that they will also give birth to twins."
There is no such good thing.
In her previous life, she was pregnant with only one child.
However, no one can guarantee that the baby in the belly will be a son, so you have to be prepared for a daughter as well.
She likes all children, whether boys or girls.
Shen Tang embroidered for the whole morning and finally finished a little Qilin. After lunch, she took a walk in the yard. The wind was too strong, so she went back to the house.
But this time, as soon as she picked up the embroidery needle, she pricked her hand.
Looking at the blood beads coming out of the fingertips.
Shen Tang felt a sudden sense of unease for no reason.
Qiu Tong saw it and asked, "Is the Crown Princess okay?"
Ginkgo also said, "Sewing is a waste of energy and eyesight. If the Crown Princess wants to embroider something, just ask the embroidery room to do it..."
"I am fine."
Shen Tang sucked his injured hand, worried that something might have happened at the hunting ground.
Ever since she became pregnant, Shen Tang always took a nap for half an hour after lunch, but today she felt no sleepiness at all, only worry.
She checked the clepsydra several times when Si'er ran in, panting, "Crown Princess, someone tried to assassinate Prince Yu in the hunting grounds. In order to save Prince Yu, the Crown Prince was shot and wounded..."
Shen Tang's heart sank. "Is the injury serious?"
Si'er shook his head, "I don't know."
Shen Tang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Ginkgo and Qiutong were worried that she might get sick from worrying, so they quickly tried to comfort her, "Don't worry, Princess. The Crown Prince will be fine."
How could she not worry? She was already nervous, and now she knew that Xie Guimo was injured while saving Prince Yu. She had not forgotten that Xie Guimo was injured while saving Prince Qi before.
Shen Tang was extremely anxious, but there was nothing she could do. She couldn't go to the hunting ground to find Xie Guimo, so she could only wait for him to come back at the mansion.
After waiting for more than an hour, Xie Guimo finally came back.
As soon as Shen Tang heard the maid report that the prince had returned, he hurried out of the courtyard and saw Xie Guimo coming from afar. Shen Tang's heart, which had been hesitating for a long time, finally settled back into his stomach.
She ran over, and Xie Guimo said, "You, don't run, just stand there and wait for me."
The hem of her skirt dragged on the ground, and he was worried when he saw Shen Tang running.
He wouldn't even bear to see her get bumped normally, let alone when she's pregnant.
Xie Guimo walked over quickly. Shen Tang pulled him over and asked, "The maid said you were injured in the hunting grounds. Where was it injured?"
As he pulled, Xie Guimo took a breath of cold air.
Shen Tang knew that his injury was on his arm, and she was so scared that she quickly let go and asked, "Is it serious?"
Xie Guimo said, "It's not that serious, but eating has become a problem. My wife will have to trouble me to feed me for a few days."
I'm still in the mood to joke, so it shouldn't be serious.
Shen Tang wanted to hit him.
