My Lady is well

Chapter 171 Life experience

The waves in the pond sway the broken moon, and the wind and dew are wrapped in the fragrance of lotus flowers.

By June, Shen Yueyao's belly had grown bigger and it was becoming more difficult for her to move.

She leaned back in a lounge chair to take a rest, and on the table was burning mosquito repellent incense, the incense curling up.

Jin'er sat beside her, peeling melon seeds with her hands and putting the kernels on a plate.

Since she came here, Shen Yueyao asked her to stop calling herself a slave.

But it's difficult to get Jin'er to call her by her name.

Jin'er looked at her bulging belly and smiled happily.

"Master, do you want to have a son or a daughter?"

Shen Yueyao thought for a moment and said, "It's all right."

The birth of this child was somewhat unexpected. She had never thought that she would get pregnant. But after she was caught secretly taking contraceptives in the East Palace, she dared not take them again. Later, when she got pregnant, she just let nature take its course.

She doesn't have any requirements for the gender of the child, as long as the child is healthy.

"Master, I heard from Aunt Wang today that there is a Jingxin Temple nearby. The Bodhisattva there is particularly effective. Do you want to go and worship?"

"Worship Buddha? No, I won't go." Shen Yueyao refused.

"why."

"I don't believe in Buddha, and I'm too lazy to move."

"You have to move around more. If you lie paralyzed all the time, it will be difficult for you to have children in the future."

"You know this too?"

Shen Yueyao grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the plate and leisurely watched the broken moon in the pond create ripples.

"I heard it from Aunt Wang."

Shen Yueyao rolled her eyes and thought for a while.

"You should have a prenatal checkup on time, so that you can prevent any accidents in advance. How about this, you go and ask a doctor to come tomorrow and check your pulse."

Jin'er nodded and said okay.

Shen Yueyao's sparkling eyes were filled with smiles as she joked.

"Jin'er, I noticed that you have a good relationship with Aunt Wang next door. Her son always finds excuses to come to our place. Yesterday he brought winter melon, and today he brought eggs. He must have taken a fancy to you."

Jin'er blinked a few times and immediately made her position clear.

"Master, I don't like him. I will never marry in this life. I want to stay by your side."

"He lives next door to us, so he won't separate us. Besides, we're both out of the palace now, so you can get married if you want. I'll prepare a generous dowry for you, so that you won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

"I won't, unless you don't want me anymore, Master."

"What are you talking about? Everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness. My life shouldn't be the only one in your life."

As she spoke, Jin'er was almost crying, and she said with tears in her eyes.

"But I only have my master."

"..."

Shen Yueyao was a little helpless about her axis.

She attributed this to the character setting, just like her setting was to be a villain, even if she didn't want to, she would be entangled with the villain.

In the past, it was Jing Lince who plotted rebellion, and now he is hanging out with assassins.

The tree wants to be calm and the wind does not stop.

Qi Feng came over at some point and tried to grab the melon seeds from the plate.

Jin'er was quick to protect the plate with both hands and said with disdain.

"If you want to eat it, peel it yourself. This is not for you to eat."

Qi Feng raised his finger and pointed at her and said, "Stingy."

Jin'er rolled her eyes at him and put the plate in front of Shen Yueyao.

Shen Yueyao looked at him for a few seconds, picked up the sour plum juice on the table, took two sips, and asked.

"Can you please tell me why you wanted to assassinate the emperor? From what you said, it was the late emperor who killed your entire family. What did your family do wrong?"

Qi Feng subconsciously pursed his lips, lowered his eyebrows, his eyes were slightly cold, and he squinted at her with a hint of vigilance.

Shen Yueyao smiled softly and said casually.

"Don't be so nervous. We are free, so why not just chat? Although I can't possibly assassinate the emperor with you, we have been together for so long, right? We can barely be considered friends."

Qi Feng's eyelids twitched, and there was a wicked and cold sneer in his eyes.

"Being friends with the emperor's woman?"

Seeing his terrifying appearance, Jin'er quickly stood up and stood in front of Shen Yueyao.

Asked: "What do you want to do?"

Shen Yueyao raised her hand and patted Jin'er's arm to comfort her.

"Don't worry, he won't do anything to me now."

Qi Feng stared at her for a long while, his eyes full of scrutiny. After a while, his expression became unpredictable, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"It's okay to tell you. My grandfather was once an important official in the court. He was the father of the dog emperor's dog father, and the regent left by his grandfather. But he was framed by the dog emperor for murdering the crown prince and his entire clan was executed. The funny thing is that the crown prince is still alive, but it was a princess who died. That little crown prince became the current dog emperor. Do you think I should avenge him?"

Shen Yueyao looked at him with eyes wide open, her heart trembling with shock, her eyebrows flickering slightly, and she roughly guessed his identity.

I confirmed with him: "Your last name... is Wei?"

Qi Feng's eyes flashed with surprise and he looked at her coldly, with a bit of doubt.

"This kind of thing should be a taboo in the palace. How do you know?"

Shen Yueyao sighed in her heart, what a small world this is.

He sighed again, saying that cause and effect will always be cyclical and retribution will always come.

Shen Yueyao sighed deeply and blinked her long eyelashes.

"To be honest, I was once involved in another case of treason and dealt with the mother of the dead princess."

Shen Yueyao looked at him again and said, "Your grandfather... was too powerful. The late emperor didn't want to be controlled by him, and was willing to sacrifice his offspring to get rid of him. He originally planned to sacrifice the crown prince at that time. It happened that the fourth princess came to play with the crown prince. They were of similar stature, so the late emperor tricked the fourth princess into changing into the crown prince's clothes. That's how..."

Qi Feng clenched his fists so hard that they made a clattering sound, and said coldly.

"Do you think I will believe you? Even if I do, so what? Will I not avenge my entire Wei family?"

Shen Yueyao shook her head and said, "I don't mean to persuade you to give up revenge. I'm just telling you the truth I know. You are a descendant of the Wei family. Since you survived, how you live is up to you."

Qi Feng felt his throat tighten and spoke hoarsely.

"On the day our house was searched, my mother happened to take me to a temple to pray for blessings, and we escaped. From then on, we hid from place to place, and within two years, my mother passed away."

Think about how old he was at that time?

It is easy to imagine how difficult it is for a six or seven-year-old child to support himself with hatred.

Shen Yueyao didn't say anything more. Life is not easy.

What's more, he has to bear the blood feud of the whole family.

Isn't the fourth princess innocent? She was only five years old. He also wanted to ask the late emperor for the pain of Concubine Jing's loss, but he didn't get it back, did he?

These things had nothing to do with her, she touched her belly.

My wish in this life is to never let my children be involved in the struggle for imperial power.
