Chapter 229 Pregnant
After the showdown between Xie Zhen and Xie Huaichu, Liu Meiniang decisively took Xie Wei back to her parents' home. Although she had not expressed her intention to reconcile with Xie Zhen yet, she had obviously had this idea.
After Xie Huaichu finished dealing with the Xie family's affairs, he packed his few luggage, took his young man Jingmo with him, and went to live in a property he had purchased before.
One day, Xie Zhen was the only one left in the huge Xie family. The originally lively Xie family suddenly became deserted and felt empty.
Xie Zhen's intestines turned green with regret. He complained about himself all day long and drank to drown his sorrows. He never regained his former charm.
When Jing Mo told Xie Huaichu the news, he just listened indifferently and said nothing.
"Sir, what are you planning to do in the future?" Jing Mo asked cautiously.
He has been very nervous these days. Ever since Xie Huaichu took him away from Xie's house a few days ago without saying any last words and settled here, he has been depressed and said nothing. Although Jing Mo grew up with him and knew his thoughts and what he was thinking, he found that recently he could no longer understand what Xiao Langjun was thinking. Especially in the past few days, his condition has been very bad, which is different from the past.
Xie Huaichu shook his head: "I have no plans, just stay here for now."
"Sir, why did you move out of Xie's house?" Jing Mo still asked the question he had always wanted to ask.
This problem has been tormenting Jing Mo for the past few days, making him unable to sleep and eat well, scratching his head and scratching his head, unable to eat, and unable to sleep well. Jing Mo has been the servant of Xie's family since he was very young. He has always been by Xie Huaichu's side, and he is almost inseparable. The Xie family was also very kind to her. They never beat, scolded, or threatened her like other families. From top to bottom, the Xie family was kind, gentle, and tolerant. Jing Mo was very happy staying at Xie's house, almost treating Xie's house as his own home, so after Xie Huaichu took him away from Xie's house without saying a word, he had been uneasy, fearing that something bad would happen.
Although Xie Huaichu didn't say anything that made him feel like the sky was falling, Jing Mo still noticed something was wrong from his demeanor and words and deeds. Something must have happened to the Xie family, something major that he didn't know about, and this major event might affect the relationship between his husband and the Xie family. But even if he had thought of this, he would never have thought that the thing he was most worried about would happen anyway. Xie Huaichu did not plan to return to the Xie family from now on, and had decided to make a clean break with the Xie family.
It's just that this matter is not trivial and cannot be revealed for a while, so we have to hide the truth of this matter and not let people in Bianjing tell it. Once the news leaks out, others will find out about the Xie family. What happened will follow the clues and affect the entire Bianjing, which is a huge sin. Therefore, Xie Huaichu did not intend to tell Jing Mo the truth of the matter. He decided to let him conceal the truth of the matter until he could no longer hide it.
"Jing Mo, there are some things I can't tell you yet." Xie Huaichu let out a long sigh. Jing Mo immediately nodded in agreement, but there was a thud in his heart, feeling that this matter must be something serious. Before he knew it, something big must have happened between his husband and the wife of the Xie family's mistress. What is going on? This was something that troubled him very much, but he struggled for a long time without finding the result.
There has been such a turmoil, and it has not calmed down for three or two days. But people who don't know the inside story thought that the head of the Xie family had a few quarrels with his wife, which led to the wife taking her daughter back to her parents' home. So much so that in the past few days, many people in the court had strangely questioned Xie Zhen's lax management of the family, which further affected his promotion to the position of Minister of Household Affairs. Many people jumped out to object, saying that he was lax in running the family and did not cultivate family ethics. How could he be in a high position? Xie Zhen was so angry that these colleagues who glared at him just couldn't see him doing any good. Once he showed an upward trend, they would immediately find excuses to suppress him, so they were busy arguing with his colleagues these days and had no time to think about it. Liu Meiniang and the others left home.
Bianjing has been noisy in the past few days. It rained heavily today. From dawn to dusk, it still showed no signs of stopping. This heavy rain extinguished the anger of many people, and the entire Bianjing began to move from late autumn to early winter.
In such a humid and very quiet time everywhere, earth-shattering news came from the palace.
"The Queen is pregnant!"
As soon as the news spread, it attracted people's attention all over Bianjing. The Queen Mother has been married to the official family for more than 20 years, but she has never been able to have a son and a half daughter. Therefore, although she is the queen of the middle palace, has a high position, has a docile personality, is a virtuous mother, and has won the support of people all over the world, her status and influence are limited because she has never given birth to a son or a daughter for the official family. There are some shortcomings in every aspect.
So even though the Empress has outstanding abilities in all aspects, just because she has never had a son or a half, there are no direct children in the palace, so some people in the royal family and big families have a crush on him. After a little bit of pointing, I felt that the Queen was a bit unworthy of her position.
This is the view of these vulgar people. Even if the Queen is beautiful and beautiful, even if she acts vigorously and resolutely, even if the Queen is knowledgeable, even if she always thinks about doing good things for the palace and the people of the world, even if the Queen always thinks about Let people all over the world have enough to eat, and let people all over the world live and work in peace and contentment. Just because the Queen has never been able to give birth to a prince, they feel that the Queen's position has never been stable.
Now, I didn’t expect that the Empress, who was nearly 40 years old, could still be pregnant. This incident simply caused an uproar in Bianjing!
Some people think that this is God's blessing that the empress can finally have children with the official family, and now the official family only has two daughters, one of whom is still sick, and the position of the heir to the prince is in jeopardy without one. Therefore, they feel that the Queen's pregnancy at this time is simply a blessing from God. Once the Queen gives birth to a legitimate prince, the choice of the next heir to the official family will be stable, and the country will be peaceful and the people are safe, and the country will be prosperous. stable.
Some people think this is a good thing, and some people think this is a bad thing. Many people have doubts about the Queen's pregnancy, because the Queen is not young anymore, and she and experts have clarified for so many years that if she could be pregnant, she would have been pregnant long ago. , it’s not that they are talking nonsense. But because a long time ago, when the royal family members urged the Queen and the officials to give birth to a prince, some people speculated that the Queen might not be able to get pregnant due to congenital deficiencies, so she could not give birth to a son and a half girls with potential for so many years. , so some people think that the Queen's pregnancy is just a cover as much as possible. What is the real situation like? These people don't know either.
