Runs with the ball after being pregnant with the baby of rival's son

Once in the house, Jiang Chuting kissed Xing'er on the forehead, then handed him over to the nanny to take him away.Xing'er pursed her mouth and whimpered twice, turned her head from the nanny's arms and looked at Jiang Chuting, but she didn't cry.

On the way back just now, Pei Jing and Xing'er just looked at me and I looked at you, the atmosphere was very strange for a while.Jiang Chuting tried his best to keep these two people from staying together, so as not to cause any unnecessary trouble.

Pei Jing caught a glimpse of the child being carried away and disappeared from the corner of his eye. He looked away and landed on Jiang Chuting's face. His expression turned sharply, and he began to question the teacher: "Say, why are you not here every time I come? Is it on purpose?"

Jiang Chuting said: "I don't know how to divination, so how do I know when you will come? It can only be called a coincidence."

Jiang Chuting walked into the house, Pei Jing followed behind him every step, and asked: "Then you mean that I came at an untimely time?"

"Well, you can say that." Jiang Chuting nodded, and said slowly: "You come whenever you want, but you never give me a call in advance."

In fact, this is the truth.Jiang Chuting is not a concubine in the harem, and she needs to wait for his favor all the time, so should he be required to stay in the room and wait for him every day?

For Jiang Chuting, this is absolutely impossible, and Pei Jing does not regard him as this kind of person.

It's just that he's been busy with government affairs recently, and it's hard to find some time to see him, but he's always not there, and he can't help but feel aggrieved.

Pei Jing grabbed his sleeve and refused to let him go. Looking at his face, his eyes were heavy: "Now that you have a baby, I want to arrange you to go to the palace. In this way, I don't have to see you if I want to see you." Such a hassle."

Jiang Chuting was silent for a while, and asked him, "What if I say no?"

Pei Jing stared at him, her jaw tensed, and she asked word by word: "Then how are you doing?"

Jiang Chuting curled his lips, and his tone changed, and he was much more gentle: "I'm used to being here, and I don't want to change places. Besides, the weather has been bad recently, so I should seldom go out."

It was obvious what he meant, Pei Jing snorted heavily, and didn't say anything more, which was regarded as his approval.

With him, he has always only had the role of accommodating.

The two sat at the tea table, Jiang Chuting made hot tea for him, looked at the snowflakes outside the window, and couldn't help saying: "Xiao Jiu, the snow is getting bigger and bigger."

"What's the hurry, I haven't had my tea yet, and you want to drive me away again." Pei Jing's eyes lingered on his tall and slender waist, and she couldn't bear to look away.

Jiang Chuting explained: "I'm not driving you away. It's just that the road is slippery in snowy weather. It's better to go back as soon as possible."

Pei Jing propped her chin and said, "Just, no, let's go, I haven't eaten my fruit yet."

fruit?Jiang Chuting didn't react for a moment, Pei Jing glared at him and said, "It's the red fruit you bought, I worked so hard to pick it up for you, don't you want me to eat it?"

After bending over for a while, it was indeed a hard work for the old man.

Jiang Chuting called someone into the house and ordered to wash the fruit and bring it up.After the results were presented, Pei Jing looked at the small plate of red and unknown wild fruits with his eyes, but he hesitated to start.

I think he is used to living a life of rich clothes and fine food, and he has probably never eaten such "cheap" things.

Jiang Chuting observed his expression, and took the initiative to say: "It's cold, the fruit is cold, I'm afraid you'll get sick after eating it, why don't you take it away."

As soon as the words fell, Pei Jing had already picked up one and ate it into his mouth.

Jiang Chuting couldn't take his eyes off: "...how is it?"

Pei Jing had a mouth full of sweetness, chewed it and swallowed it before humming: "It's unpalatable." When he left, he took a small bag with him, the reason was the same as before, he picked it up so hard, even if it was unpalatable, he had to eat it.

Pei Jing was in a good mood, and returned to the palace with a smile on his face. Zhang Dequan, the chief eunuch, came up to welcome him, and reported after finishing his tour, "Your Majesty, the empress sent someone over to deliver the news this afternoon."

Pei Jing didn't stop walking, and said in a rambling voice while walking: "What's the matter?"

Zhang Dequan followed closely behind him, saying: "The Empress is pregnant."

Hearing this, Pei Jing stopped smiling and looked back at him.Zhang Dequan lowered his head, respectful.

"Oh, I see." Pei Jing said in a cold tone, "Someone send some things over."

Zhang Dequan responded: "Yes, I will send someone to do it."

The queen waited left and right, looking through the autumn water, only waiting for a bunch of rewards, but did not see Pei Jing's people, she couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"Has His Majesty really returned to the palace?"

"Return to your mother's words, yes."

"Is he...is he discussing matters and is too busy to come over?"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty seems to be writing in the imperial study."

The queen was taken aback and couldn't help sighing.She knows that His Majesty has no feelings for her, but she will not lack what a queen should have, and she will not deliberately make things difficult for her. She should be satisfied and never dare to ask for more.

It's just that she's not good at all, and in this case, she will inevitably hope that he can come and take a look.But he would rather write than come here.

It was like pouring a pot of cold water, extinguishing the joy in her heart.

The queen sat quietly for a while, after thinking about it, served the tonic soup, and braved the cold wind to go to the royal study.If he doesn't come, she will go by herself.

It was only after I arrived that I was told that His Majesty had returned to the bedroom.The queen had no choice but to move to Pei Jing's bedroom again, but when she went, she found that he was still not there.

"Your Majesty has just gone to Ci'an Palace at the invitation of the Empress Dowager."

The queen knew that Pei Jing was definitely not avoiding her deliberately.If he didn't want to see her, he would directly block her from the door.

But the more such a coincidence, the more sad and frustrated she felt.She didn't show it on her face, she just said in a low voice: "Since His Majesty is not here, let me send the soup in."

The queen stepped into the hall and put the food box on the table herself. She frowned and caught a glimpse of the plate of small red wild fruits on the table that was incompatible with this hall.

It felt like a small dusty stone that came from nowhere suddenly mixed into the pile of bright pearls and gems, not only was it an eyesore, but it also covered other things with dust, making people irritated.

She found it inconceivable, with a sullen expression on her face: "How can you present such an inconspicuous thing to His Majesty's table? How do you all do things?"

The palace man explained: "If you go back to your mother, it was brought back to the palace by His Majesty himself."

The queen grew up pampered and had never eaten or even seen this kind of vulgar wild fruit. It was shabby in size, with rough skin, and some of them were cracked. It was a horrible sight.

The queen couldn't understand, let alone imagine that His Majesty would eat this. She said firmly, "This kind of thing will definitely spoil your stomach. For the sake of Your Majesty's dragon body, take it and throw it away!"

"But..." The palace people hesitated, the queen raised her voice slightly: "What? You don't listen to what I say?"

She didn't think His Majesty would punish her for throwing a few wild fruits. He was so busy, how could he take such things seriously.And she is the queen, the Lord can still do this.

The palace servant obeyed the order and took away the plate of fruit and disposed of it, and after she warmed the soup, she left reluctantly.

When Pei Jing returned to the bedroom from the Queen Mother, she was the first to notice that the plate of fruit on the table was gone, she was silent for a moment without emotion, and called people in with a calm tone.

After hearing about the queen's visit, Pei Jing didn't have much reaction, waved her hand and let people go down.

And the cup of tonic soup was thrown away with the small stove.

The queen originally thought that nothing would happen, but she went to see Pei Jing several times in a row, but was turned away.Pei Jing didn't go to her palace for another month, which has never happened before.

In order to save her face, Pei Jing would go there at least once every ten days.

The empress panicked. She had been thinking hard in her palace for a long time, but she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong. If she had to find out a mistake, the most likely thing would be to order someone to pour the plate of fruit down.

But she felt it was ridiculous.

That's really just a plate of wild fruit.

Could it be... His Majesty thinks she is too assertive?Even if it's an inconspicuous little fruit, it's His Majesty's property, and if she does that, it's overstepping.

The queen broke out in a cold sweat and wanted to ask him to confess, but Pei Jing didn't even see her face.This situation lasted for more than a month, the queen couldn't sleep or eat, she was haggard, and finally couldn't hold back, and went to Ci'an Palace to find the queen mother crying.

The queen mother comforted her a few words, told her to take good care of the baby, rewarded her with something, and sent her away.

"Xiao Jiu, this child is really wayward." Watching her leave, the Queen Mother smiled and said to the young female official standing beside her: "Yuanxi, speaking of it, the Ai family has never seen the one outside the palace." pass."

Her good son, there is a man detained outside the palace, a man, he met when he went to Jiuchongtian to detoxify, he seems to be little Wei Jia's master.

Ever since the Queen talked about the plate of fruit brought back from outside the palace, the Queen Mother probably knew what was going on.The queen had offended him greatly without knowing it, and I'm afraid it won't get better in a while.

Yuan Xi's face was young, but his voice was low and hoarse, which didn't match his face: "Can the Queen Mother go to meet for a while?"

The queen mother didn't answer, but said with emotion: "Xiao Jiu is so big, I never realized that he would like men." Moreover, it doesn't look like a joke.

Yuan Xi said: "The Empress Dowager doesn't need to worry, Your Majesty has her own measure."

After setting up a concubine and having a dragon heir, there is no problem in liking a man.

"If it's consensual, it's fine. I'm afraid..." The Queen Mother didn't pay close attention, but she knew what her son had done.Most of them were forced to stay. If there is something wrong, he will be in danger.

The Empress Dowager grabbed Yuan Xi's wrist, looked at her with a smile in her eyes and said, "Why don't you go with me and see him with your eyes to see if there is any problem, so I can feel more at ease."

Yuan Xi naturally nodded: "Okay, I will try my best."

The Queen Mother clapped her hands in relief.

Because of Yuan Xi's divination ability, she took Xiao Jiu to escape several catastrophes.However, Yuan Xi himself said that divination is very labor-intensive, and not all major and minor events can be predicted. For example, the poisoning of Xiaojiu before was not counted.

But she didn't blame her, after all, Yuan Xi had followed her loyally for so many years, and she had made a lot of contributions secretly.To survive in this deep palace, you still have to rely more on yourself.

"Yuanxi, when will the Ai family be able to visit your hometown?"

Yuan Xi said that she was from Penglai Xiandao, and the queen mother always believed her, after all, she was really mysterious. For more than 20 years, she also has the same belief as her, believing that Penglai Island is really blessed by the gods.

"Impossible, Empress Dowager." Yuan Xi's answer was the same as before, with a hoarse voice and a gentle voice: "Because you don't have a fairy fate."

The queen mother was a little disappointed, she shook her head and sighed: "Forget it, Aijia is not as good as Wei Jia."

Time flies, Xing'er has been seven months without knowing it, and has learned to turn over, crawl, and toss people.

Of course, he didn't torment Jiang Chuting, he tormented Jiang Xian.

Jiang Xian loved him and doted on him, even if he climbed to the top of his head, he let him go, and deliberately made him laugh.Every time I come here, I bring some new gadgets, and I have no image to accompany him on the ground, more like my own father than Jiang Chuting.

Jiang Xiancheng had no hope of having a child, Master Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were really greedy for children, so Jiang Xian asked Jiang Chuting to take Xing'er back to Jiang's mansion to play for a few days with a shy face, and Jiang Chuting agreed.

After the two met out for a drink that day, Jiang Xian hugged Xing'er, turned around and left with the nanny.

Although Xing'er was very familiar with Jiang Xian, seeing Jiang Chuting standing still, she felt something was wrong, stretched out her small hand towards him, and yelled indistinctly: "Da da, da da Da da."

Jiang Xian smiled and kissed his little face: "It's useless to call him father, your father has already sold you to me!"

He was so embarrassing, Xing'er turned her head to look at him, her pink mouth was slightly opened, revealing two white rice-like deciduous teeth underneath, her big black eyes stared at him for a moment, she raised her little hand unexpectedly, and slapped her paste on his face.

His strength was almost the same as scratching an itch, Jiang Xian exaggeratedly ouched a few times, and laughed again.

Jiang Chuting watched them walk away with a smile on his face, turned around and was about to go back to Changning Pavilion, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of two women standing one behind the other in a remote corner on the other side of the long street, staring undisguisedly at this side.

The one standing in front looked to be in his thirties, with a bun and very low-key clothes, but he had a beautiful appearance and exuded an air of nobility all over his body.

The one in the back looked to be in his twenties, with an unremarkable appearance, but a calm demeanor.

The three of them stared at each other for a moment, the person on the other side stepped forward first and seemed to be walking towards this side, Jiang Chuting raised his hand to signal them not to move, and went up to him.

Jiang Chuting walked in front of him, the beautiful woman sized him up for a long time before she said uncertainly, "Master, you look a bit kind."

Jiang Chuting nodded and said, "Yes, we met before, about... more than 18 years ago."

She thought for a while, then suddenly remembered, and said in surprise: "Ah, it turned out to be you!"

Eighteen years ago, Yuan Xi calculated that Xiao Jiu might encounter an accident in the palace, and asked her to go out of the palace to avoid it.She found a reason and ran away with the child.Before leaving the palace, Yuan Xi told her that there may be dangers outside the palace, but they can be resolved quickly, so she doesn't have to worry.

Sure enough, as she expected, Xiao Jiu, who was only two years old, took advantage of her inattention and ran away on the crowded street, and was squeezed into the water. In the end, two young heroes rescued him.

She was rewarded with a lot of money at the time, but they didn't want it, so they left a token, saying that if they meet again by fate in the future, they will do one thing for them within their ability.

Later, something happened in the palace. Xiao Jiu went to play almost every day. A poisonous snake appeared in the small garden for no reason. It bit the passing Seventh Prince, and the poison spread. Can only rely on a wheelchair to travel, completely bid farewell to the battle for the throne.

From then on, she firmly believed in Yuan Xi's words.

"It's me." With a smile on his face, Jiang Chuting bowed and saluted: "Caomin has seen the Queen Mother."

I didn't expect Pei Jing's joke to be true. Back then, he and he actually saved him from drowning by such a coincidence.

It turned out that the two had met before.

The queen mother did not expect him to recognize her identity so quickly. After being surprised, she nodded and smiled: "There is no need to be too polite. Back then, I saw that you are a kind-hearted, pure and upright person. Now I can see you again. It's also fate."

"The queen mother congratulates me." Jiang Chuting said, his eyes turned slightly.

From the moment he walked over, he could feel that the woman beside the queen mother had been staring at him, the eyes were too deep to be ignored.

He looked over, but she didn't look back, but clasped her hands tightly, as if she was about to speak.

The queen mother said casually: "I don't know, what happened to the young hero who rescued people with you at that time? I still remember that you two seemed to hit it off, and you hit it off very well."

Jiang Chuting still smiled slightly, but his eyes dimmed a bit, and told the truth: "He has passed away for many years."

The Empress Dowager didn't expect this to happen, she moved her lips and said, "This is really a pity."

After all, it was inconvenient to talk on the street, and finally went to a private room in a restaurant, where Jiang Chuting and the Queen Mother sat down and chatted briefly, not talking about Pei Jing at all.

"Back then, I promised that if we meet again, I will do my best to help you with one thing." The Queen Mother looked at him and asked: "Now, what do you need Aijia to help you with? As long as Aijia can do it, I will definitely help you." Will do my best."

Jiang Chuting's slender eyelashes fluttered slightly, but he didn't reply immediately.

He didn't speak, and the queen mother took the opportunity to look at him carefully.

This person seems to be only a few years younger than her, but her face is already full of signs of age, and he is taller than ten years ago, calmer, and his eyebrows and eyes are more defined. The difference is that the appearance is still so young and handsome, the eyes are still so warm and beautiful, and the temperament is still not stained with dust, cold and pure.

Time is passing by, but the good things in him have been kept intact.

Xiao Jiu would like him, it seems not difficult to understand.

Jiang Chuting's thoughts changed, and he finally said: "Since the empress dowager knows about the existence of grass people, she must also know my only request."

"You... want to leave Jincheng?"

"Yes."

The queen mother knew that he was forced to stay, but she never thought that he would say it so directly, her eyes moved slightly, and she couldn't help saying: "Aren't you afraid that Ai's family will tell Xiao Jiu? After all, he is my son, you and his In comparison, I must put him first."

Jiang Chuting respectfully said: "The Queen Mother naturally knows what to do. The grassroots are just grateful for the Queen Mother's ability to keep her promise, and sincerely said what they think. As for the result, I dare not have the slightest complaint."

The queen mother smiled and sighed: "This sounds good at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, why does it seem to be saying that since Aijia can't do it, why bother to make random promises?" .

Jiang Chuting lowered his head and said, "The grassroots dare not."

The queen mother thought for a while, and said: "Aijia asks you, why don't you want to stay?"

Jiang Chuting spoke earnestly: "Caomin has only a teacher-student relationship with His Majesty, and I am really ashamed to accept His Majesty's feelings for me, and I don't want to deceive him."

"You are really frank, but...according to my understanding of Xiao Jiu, what he has decided is extremely difficult to change."

Jiang Chuting really couldn't refute the second half of the sentence.

The queen mother pondered for a moment, and then continued: "It's really inappropriate for you to be trapped here, a good man. But it's really not easy for the Ai family to intervene in this matter. It's easy to let you go, but if it's because of you, let the Ai family There is a rift between you and His Majesty, isn't it worth the loss?"

Jiang Chuting could understand her worries, he didn't answer, and he didn't have any hope for her, but after a while, he heard her say again: "But since Aijia made a promise first, Aijia won't break his promise easily... Allow me to think about it again."

Jiang Chuting's heart felt hot, he stood up, and solemnly bowed to her: "Thank you, Queen Mother."

The queen mother waved her hand: "You don't have to thank Taizao, it's unknown if I can help you."

The queen mother got up and was about to leave, but Yuan Xi, who had been silently watching Jiang Chuting all this time, suddenly said, "Queen mother, can you let me talk to this young master alone?"

There is only one possibility for Yuan Xi to react like this, and that is that this person in front of him will really have a huge impact on Xiao Jiu's future.Can't help but look at Jiang Chuting again, the queen mother immediately said: "Okay, you can talk." Then she went out first with full of doubts.

Jiang Chuting was a little surprised, looked at Yuan Xi and said, "I don't know girl..."

Yuan Xi suddenly smiled, and said in a hoarse voice slowly: "My name is Yuan Xi, I'm not a girl anymore, I'm over 50 years old now."

Jiang Chuting was stunned, looking at her face, it was clear that she was in her 20s at the most.Could it be that she knows how to maintain beauty?

Yuan Xi did not continue this topic, but stared at him with eyes as deep as the sea, his eyes were almost pious, and said, "My lord, your wish is to leave His Majesty's side, right? Then, please grant me this honor and let me come help you."

"It's just that the time has not come yet." She put her right hand on her chest and bowed deeply to him: "Please wait patiently, and please trust me."

Faced with this sudden kindness, Jiang Chuting felt extremely confused, more suspicious, and asked calmly, "...Did we know each other before?"

Could it be that he once helped her and she wanted to repay her kindness?

Yuan Xi shook his head: "Today is the first meeting."

Jiang Chuting was puzzled and asked, "Then why did you help me?"

Yuan Xi said: "Because..."

Yuan Xi's eyes were dark and bright: "Because, it is destined that you are the one I must protect."

The Empress Dowager sat in the carriage and waited for a long time, restless, Yuan Xi finally opened the curtain and came up.

The Queen Mother suddenly grabbed her wrist, stared at her and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yuan Xi looked back at her solemnly: "Queen Mother, this person's fate is different, and he must not be allowed to stay by Your Majesty's side for a long time."

The queen mother's pupils tightened: "Really?!"

"Yes, but you can't let his life be damaged, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

Yuan Xi never lied.The queen mother took a deep breath, she seemed to have completely believed her words, looked into her eyes, and asked: "You mean, you can't keep him, but you can't kill him, you can only find a way to send him away?"

"Yes." Yuan Xi said firmly: "We must find the right time to expel him from Jincheng, and he will never set foot here again."
