Her Majesty Was Pregnant Before Entering the Palace

Hurry up and drink.

Huang Ying brought the teacup to his mouth.

Li Xiu knelt in the middle of the night and the whole morning, first in the rain, then in the snow, his whole body was almost numb from the cold.

The steaming tea in front of him was an unspeakable temptation for him.

He hesitated, but still opened his mouth and took a sip.

After half a cup of tea, the warm current spreads along the internal organs and towards the limbs.

Thank you, sister. Li Xiu said hoarsely.

Don't thank me, it was sent by our princess. Huang Ying took out another snack, broke off a small piece, and put it in his mouth, I've already drank the tea, so I don't care about this.

Li Xiu grinned, his chapped lips hurt.

Laughing is uglier than crying.

After eating half a piece and nodding, Huang Ying stopped and handed him the knee pads she brought, Put this on.

Li Xiu quickly shook his head: I was punished by the crown prince. My sister came to see me and gave me some tea. I am already very grateful. This knee pad is absolutely not to be used. My sister, please take it back.

Li Xiu, don't be stupid. In such a cold day, if you kneel like this, your knees will be useless. Huang Ying said softly, We are slaves, no better than masters. We have to stand and serve all day long. You If your legs are useless, how can His Royal Highness use you? You are a eunuch, what future do you have?

Li Xiu lowered his head: But this is His Highness punishing me.

Your Highness punishing you is also related to the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess is kind-hearted and asked me to bring this. She originally said that she would bring her own fur coat for you to wear, but at least I persuaded her. Huang Ying pulled him The knee pads are made of buckskin. You can put them under your knees. The clothes cover them, so you can't see them from the outside. The princess will carry them for you, but your legs are yours. Don't be stupid.

Li Xiu didn't move.

Huang Ying looked at him: You just look stupid, aren't you really stupid?

Li Xiu smiled bitterly: Sister, don't blame me, my leg is really numb and I can't move.

Huang Ying came to her senses and hurriedly pulled him up a little bit, and put the knee pad on his knee with the leather side facing down.

As soon as the legs moved, the blood flowed back, like thousands of ants crawling in the cracks in the bones, Li Xiu grinned.

Okay. Huang Ying adjusted the hem of his robe to cover her legs, Did His Highness say how long you will be punished for kneeling?

Three days.

You are not allowed to eat or drink?

No.

Well, then, I'll come back when it gets dark. Huang Ying gave him the remaining half cup of tea and snacks, so as not to be distracted by others, and left in a hurry.

The main hall of Feishuang Hall, inside the emperor's bedroom.

The emperor sat on the soft couch, covered with a thick velvet blanket, looked at the scene outside the window, and said with a smile: Prince, Li Xiu next to you looks honest, and he has a good friend in the palace.

Li Hongyuan was sitting on the case table opposite the emperor, looking at the brochures, when he heard the words, he glanced out and said, That's the female official next to the crown princess, her name is Huang Ying.

Oh, no wonder.

No wonder what?

If you punish Li Xiu, no one in the palace dares to take care of it, so this little Seventh Son is the only one. The emperor laughed, You didn't let it go, who dares to take care of it. Are you guilty of the same crime as him? How do you plan to deal with the Crown Princess?

Li Hongyuan didn't even raise his head, and said calmly: Father knows it, how dare my ministers punish the Crown Princess seriously. His father, his uncle, who am I to offend?

Before the emperor could speak, he raised his head and asked earnestly, Does the emperor dare to punish you?

The emperor smiled: Prince, your method of provoking the relationship between our monarch and his ministers is not very clever. Is this your ability to be a prince?
