Chapter 381 I made you unhappy
Fortunately, it is summer now and there is a cool breeze blowing. Otherwise, just this simple whisper would be fatal to Xie Ci'an. Moreover, he has been enduring it for a long time since Gu Jianchu became pregnant.
Now, any closeness of Gu Jianchu would be a fatal temptation to him.
However, Gu Jianchu is pregnant now, so it is not a good idea to ask Gu Jianchu to help him solve the problem. Last time, he just used another method and asked the Queen to help her solve the problem, but it already scared the Queen.
Xie Ci'an was no longer willing to ask Gu Jianchu to help him solve the problem in other ways, so he could only endure it as much as possible.
A cool breeze blew against his face, dispelling some of Xie Ci'an's restlessness. He soothed Gu Jianchu and said, "What's wrong with that? I just feel sorry for my pregnant wife. Don't they feel sorry for their pregnant wives too? If they dare to say a word, I'll cut off their tongues. Since when has feeling sorry for one's wife ever been associated with words like seducing the Lord?"
"The fact that they can be related is just an excuse for them not to feel bad for their wives."
Gu Jianchu's eyes were red as she leaned on Xie Ci'an's back. She didn't expect that Xie Ci'an would think this way. His thoughts were different from those pedantic people. He was more like a breath of fresh air in the rotten society.
Xie Ci'an waited a long time for Gu Jianchu's response. Worried, he stopped and slowly turned his head to look at the girl lying on his back. "Achu, why aren't you talking? Did I make you unhappy?"
Gu Jianchu rubbed her face against Xie Ci'an's back and said, "No, I'm just a little touched. I'm touched that my husband is like a father and understands his wife's hard work. He's not like other men who only blame a woman for everything. How could I be so worthy of marrying such a good man like the emperor?"
Gu Jianchu buried his head in Xie Ci'an's back, so his voice was muffled.
Seeing that Gu Jianchu was not angry, Xie Ci'an quickened his pace and walked towards the east wing. "I don't think it's Ah Chu who is lucky to marry me. I am lucky to marry a wife like Ah Chu. I have let go of the hardships I suffered in my childhood. Perhaps it was because I suffered so much in the past that I met such a good Ah Chu."
"Don't cry anymore. Your eyes have turned red. I'm afraid you won't be able to pray tomorrow." Xie Ci'an coughed lightly.
Gu Jianchu, who was originally moved to tears, instantly burst into laughter after hearing the man's words.
Yunhe, Zhuxia and others were very tactful and followed from a distance, not daring to get any closer. After hearing the conversation between Gu Jianchu and Xie Ci'an, they couldn't help but burst into laughter and felt happy for their master.
Now Xie Ci'an has cleaned up the harem very well. Without so many women, there are naturally no messy things. It seems that every day is very comfortable, and occasionally when he is bored, he just eats melons.
Fortunately, the East Courtyard was not far from the Zen room, and they soon returned to their residence.
After returning to the room, Xie Ci'an placed Gu Jianchu in front of the couch, and then, like a palace maid, brought a charcoal basin and placed it next to Gu Jianchu. He then told Zhu Xia to fetch a basin of hot water and said, "Qiutou, go to the kitchen and see if dinner is ready."
The queen was already starving when she was in the meditation room, and now she has been delayed for such a long time.
After receiving the order, several palace servants acted quickly.
But after a while, Zhu Xia brought over the hot water, with rose petals floating in the basin. "Your Majesty, please heat your hands first. I have added some rose water to this water."
"Okay." With the help of Xie Ci'an, Gu Jianchu rolled up his sleeves, and then soaked his hands in the hot rose water. After a while, his fingers became warm, and when his hands were warm, his whole body was half warm as well.
After soaking her hands, Zhu Xia added some hot water to the basin and soaked her feet in it, and her whole body was almost completely warmed up.
Gu Jianchu sat cross-legged in front of the table, covered with a thick blanket.
The palace servants brought over the vegetarian meal prepared in the small kitchen. Tofu, vermicelli and cabbage were cooked in the casserole. Perhaps it had just been taken off the fire, and the casserole had a good heat preservation function, so when it was served on the table, the tofu was still bubbling in the soup.
The original minced meat and egg custard was replaced with green bean and egg custard. Although it lacks the meat flavor, it has a unique taste.
There were also stir-fried bean sprouts, and fried milk that Qiutou taught the chef to make, plus a bowl of lily and lotus seed porridge. Knowing that the queen liked sweet food, the kitchen specially added a little rock sugar to the porridge.
In addition to these, they also specially prepared date paste yam cake and mung bean osmanthus cake to satisfy the queen's cravings.
Perhaps because he was used to eating all those rich dishes on weekdays, and only ate some light meals occasionally, Gu Jianchu even ate an extra bowl of rice. "Your Majesty, please have more of this tofu. It's cooked very well."
While Gu Jianchu was eating, he also picked up two pieces of tofu for Xie Ci'an.
Seeing that Gu Jianchu had a good appetite, Xie Ci'an couldn't help but feel happy.
When Gu Jianchu was in the palace, he had no appetite. Xie Ci'an was worried that Gu Jianchu would be exhausted from the long journey to Wanguo Temple. Unexpectedly, after arriving at Wanguo Temple, Gu Jianchu's appetite returned. This was something to be happy about.
Seeing that the food tasted delicious, Xie Ci'an immediately felt hungry again.
"What would you like to eat tomorrow morning, Ah Chu? Should I ask the kitchen to prepare it in advance?" Xie Ci'an asked.
"I want to eat vegetarian buns with tofu. Add a little chili pepper, it will definitely taste delicious. The buns with cabbage and vermicelli will definitely taste good too. I also want to eat the tomato and egg drop soup cooked in the imperial kitchen." Gu Jianchu's eyes were shining when he mentioned food.
Ever since she became pregnant, Xie Ci'an rarely saw her eyes light up when she mentioned food.
Xie Ci'an immediately asked someone to notify the small kitchen to make arrangements.
Before Yunhe left the room, Gu Jianchu immediately instructed, "By the way, ask the kitchen to make some sour apricots. I want to eat something sour."
Gu Jianchu ate a little too much for dinner, and his stomach was bloated, so he couldn't go to bed directly. It was snowing outside, so it was not convenient to go for a walk outside. He could only walk around the room a few times, and then he and Xie Ci'an sat in front of the window, snuggling together and watching the snowflakes gradually falling outside.
Snowflakes fell quietly to the ground, piling up into thick snow bit by bit.
I didn’t expect the first snow this year to be so heavy, even heavier than in previous years.
When Xie Ci'an was about to say something, he turned around and found that the queen had fallen asleep on his shoulder. Ever since she became pregnant, the queen had not been as energetic and was always sleepy.
Xie Ci'an lowered his head and gave her a light kiss on the forehead, then picked her up and placed her on the bed gently. He carefully took off his coat and lay down with her on the bed.
