Xie Ning calmed down and stopped moving.
Emperor Ren held him like this.
This gesture gave her a strange feeling.
The emperor's head rested on her lap, his ears pressed against her belly.
It's still early, Xie Ning thought, it's still very early and there's not much movement to be heard.
If there is any movement, it will have to be four or five months later.
The child must have had arms and legs by then, and would be kicking and turning over inside.
The emperor should hear nothing now.
No, maybe you can hear it.
Can you hear her heartbeat?
Xie Ning gently put his hand on the emperor's head and slowly stroked his neck inch by inch.
The emperor must be very tired.
This patrol was already in a hurry.
On the royal boat, while Xie Ning was making the children eat snacks, read and write and enjoy the scenery, the emperor had been busy and had no time to spare.
Later, when he met the assassin, Xie Ning simply stayed in Changyi, while the emperor traveled a long distance in just a few days just to rush back to Changyi as soon as possible.
And on the way back to Beijing, the emperor slept very late every night and got up early in the morning.
He didn't seem to rest for a moment, he was always tense, like a spinning top that kept spinning.
Xie Ning touched him like this, and a pity filled her heart that made her feel overwhelmed.
In the past, she looked up to the emperor.
The Emperor is the Son of Heaven, so noble and aloof.
Later, the emperor treated her well, and she gradually felt that she stood taller and could look at the same level as the emperor.
But now, she was looking down at this man.
Perhaps others only saw the dragon robe and the emperor's wisdom and prowess that he had always shown to others.
But he is still a human being after all.
He will also get tired and have moments of weakness.
If others can't hold on, they can still take a break.
Anyway, if the sky falls, there will be tall people to support it.
Who is missing in this world?
The sun does not rise and set in the same way.
But the emperor is different.
He has no one to rely on.
There is a traitor in the Forbidden Army.
He will definitely have no sleep at night now.
If you stay up like this during the day and at night, even a hard-core person won't be able to stand it.
Xie Ning noticed a deep vertical mark between his eyebrows.
He must have frowned a lot these days.
Xie Ning felt that he did look much more haggard than the previous few days.
Xie Ning asked softly: "What did the emperor and the eldest prince say?
I looked at him and seemed to have figured it out."
The emperor said nothing.
"emperor" Xie Ning lowered her head and found that the emperor had fallen asleep.
He just fell asleep on her lap without any precautions.
If you sleep like this, your back may be sore and your legs may be numb when you get up.
He should be allowed to lie down and sleep.
But Xie Ning hesitated when he saw the emperor sleeping peacefully.

Should I wake him up?
It's rare that he can fall asleep so quickly and sleep so deeply.
He was afraid that if he woke up, he would no longer be able to sleep so well.
Xie Ning hesitated for a moment, moved slightly to change his position, and then waved gently, asking Qing He to bring the quilt over, spread it out and cover the emperor gently.
She herself just dozed off crookedly.
Qing He was a little worried, so he quietly peeked his head in after a while.
The two masters actually slept like this.
How could they be comfortable sleeping like this?
I don't know if it was the first time she poked her head in, but she found that the two people had finally changed their positions.
The emperor turned sideways, and the master was surrounded by the emperor's arms.
The two were still close to each other.
Qing He finally breathed a sigh of relief, quietly washed himself and lay down in his clothes.
She felt much more at ease when she returned to the palace.
If you are unfamiliar with the place outside, you will always think of the scene that night when the fire broke out, and you will never feel at peace in your heart.
Finally back.
Qing He felt a little cold on his shoulders, so he pulled up the clothes covering his body.
Everything here is familiar to her.
Even if there is only a lamp at her feet and she cannot see clearly everything in the room, she feels at ease.
With this smell, this sound, this light, here she finally won't have to worry about where another fire will start, or what danger will squeeze in through the cracks in the window in the darkness and kill her silently. life.
The emperor slept very soundly and woke up late for the first time in the morning.
Since he ascended the throne, it goes without saying that there are days when there are major court gatherings.
Even on days when there are no major court gatherings, the emperor is used to getting up in the morning to practice sword practice, and only stops when he is slightly sweating.
Then he has to write a few words.
This is a habit he has developed since his youth and has not changed for many years.
As a result, as soon as he opened his eyes today, the emperor knew that he woke up late.
Normally Bai Hongqi would come over to serve him when the time came.
He would usually ask through the window and wait until he heard the emperor's instructions before entering.
The emperor was rarely woken up by him, so the emperor was always awake when Bai Hongqi pressed the clock to say good morning.
But it was indeed late today, and Bai Hongqi didn't make a sound to remind him.
The emperor turned his head, Xie Ning was still awake.
Her hair was half loose, and the emperor found that a few strands of hair were pressed by his arms.
He moved his hand away slightly, fearing to wake her up.
But when the emperor moved, Xie Ning was also alarmed.
Her lips pursed slightly, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes opened slightly.
The emperor looked at her eyes quietly, gradually waking up from the confusion.
"The emperor is also awake" "I just woke up too."
Xie Ning lay there too lazy to move, with a look of laziness as if he had just woken up from a spring nap.
Qinghe heard that there was a sound in the tent just now, but it took a while before the emperor called for service.
When Qing He went to serve him, he saw his master's eyes shining and his lips as red as rouge.
Spring arrives very late in the capital, and the flowers in the imperial garden bloom late as well.
Princess Yuyao invited Qiao Shutang and took Gan Xiyun to fly a kite in the imperial garden.
Her kite was just delivered today.
It was a big golden-red butterfly with long soft wings trailing behind it.
If you weren't careful, you would think it looked like a phoenix instead of a butterfly.
The two deft little eunuchs first flew the kite, and then handed the spool to Princess Yuyao.

The weather was fine and the wind was strong, so the kite flew very high.
Xie Ning sat in front of the window.
When he raised his head, he could see the kites flying in the sky.
When Gan Xiyun was flying a kite, he picked a swallow.
The work is also exquisite, but compared with the butterfly, it seems very inconspicuous.
Qiao Shutang's kite was an eagle.
The kite was large and was carried in by two people when entering the palace.
The kite flew higher and higher, becoming a speck smaller than a sesame seed on the blue sky.
"Master, would you like to go over and see the princesses?"
"I won't go."
Princess Yuyao and the others were having fun, but once Xie Ning left, they couldn't have enough fun.
Qiao Shutang and Gan Xiyun will definitely feel restricted.
"I can't fly a kite.
I can't fly it.
Even if I fly it, it can't fly high.
At that time, I always complained that the kite wasn't done well."
Qinghe asked with a smile: "What happened next?"
"Later, my cousin gave me the kite to play with.
After a while, I also lost my skills.
Maybe I am just clumsy."
Xie Ning said with a smile: "My aunt laughed at me at that time and said that this was not a bad thing.
People often say that kites cannot fly far, and they will never marry far away in the future.”
Qing He hurriedly took over the conversation: "No.
Mr.
Lin's family now lives very close to the palace."
Xie Ning also smiled: "That's right."
If you just want to meet, you still have to wait for the opportunity.
Qing He looked at her expression and guessed that she must be missing Mrs.
Lin.
"Master is pregnant now.
You can ask Mrs.
Lin to come into the palace to look after and accompany you.
This is not a taboo."
Xie Ning didn't answer, and moved his gaze to the sky outside the window.
There were a few more kites in the sky.
Seeing two of them getting closer and closer, Xie Ning exclaimed: "They are about to hit the line."
Fortunately, there was no collision.
Princess Yuyao came back with a sweaty face and a flushed face.
She must have had too much fun just now, and now she looked tired.
Xie Ning quickly asked someone to wipe her sweat and change her clothes.
Qiao Shutang and Gan Xiyun did the same.
Although Princess Yuyao was tired, she was in good spirits.
She asked repeatedly: "My queen, have you seen my butterfly that flies the highest?"
Xie Ning smiled and nodded and said, "I saw it."
Naturally, her kite is the highest, because others dare not cross her.

The warm sherbet was served.
Princess Yuyao frowned after taking a sip: "The hot one is too sour, is there any cold one?"
Fang Shanggong advised softly: "The princess is sweating, so she shouldn't eat cold food.
If you feel sour, then give the princess another cup of almond tea."
"No."
Princess Yuyao doesn't like almond tea, always finding it too sweet.
She would rather tolerate the slightly sour taste of sherbet than almond tea.
Xie Ning smiled and took a sip of sherbet.
Alas, hot sherbet tastes sour when you drink it.
But now she can't drink cold drinks, even if the weather gets hotter day by day, that won't work.
Fang Shanggong took good care of her, but sometimes Xie Ning felt that Fang Shanggong was too shrewd and it would be extremely difficult to play tricks under her nose.
Qingmei once said before that Fang Shanggong was as strict as a prison boss.
Xie Ning felt that the word "prison boss" was very appropriate here.
Food, drink, clothing, everything had to be nodded by Fang Shanggong before she could use it.
Although Fang Shanggong was careful when she was pregnant for the first time, he was not at this level now.
Xie Ning thought about it, and it seemed that Fang Shanggong had become a different person since the night of the fire.
Like a vigilant female animal watching over her cubs, she casts a watchful eye on everyone around her.
She couldn't trust anyone now, as if she was afraid that if she was negligent, someone would take advantage of her and assassinate Xie Ning and her son.
Xie Ning thought that Fang Shanggong was also frightened.
Fang Shanggong was not on the boat on the day of the fire, and she had been blaming herself for this incident.
Xie Ning even specially comforted her about this matter.
Who would have thought that such a thing would happen?
This is not Fang Shanggong's dereliction of duty.
Fang Shanggong seemed to have listened to what he said, but he remained the same afterward.
Hopefully, as time goes by, she can slowly return to normal.
As for now, just endure it
