Not long after the Empress gave the gift, Su Yi heard that Sun Shuli had received a poor grade in the year-end official performance evaluation and would be transferred out of the capital to take up a post in the south after the new year.
The people in that area were fierce and uncivilized, which was very different from the capital. Not to mention whether Sun Shuli, who had been a young master since childhood, was capable of doing the job, the fatigue from the long journey alone would be enough to wear out his small body.
Sun Shuli was a member of the faction of King An, and he had always followed his lead. Relying on this big tree, he had been like a fish in water in the officialdom for many years.
Now he was suddenly demoted, which was equivalent to a great loss of face for King An.
This was the Emperor’s compensation to King Rui.
Although he was reluctant to take action directly against his own son, he would never be soft-hearted toward some insignificant little people.
The Emperor and Empress had both made their statements, and the matter was over. If King Rui continued to cause trouble for King An, it would seem that he was too petty in the eyes of outsiders.
King Rui is now in no mood to pay attention to outsiders.
All the servants in the palace knew that their king now held the princess at the top of his heart. He could not leave her for even a moment of the twelve hours a day and cherished her as if she were the apple of his eye.
If this happened a few months ago, who would have thought that the martial arts fanatic King Rui would have someone he was more obsessed with than martial arts?
Before and after the New Year, people from other palaces came to pay New Year’s greetings and saw how considerate King Rui was to Princess Rui.
He even blew away the tea until it cooled before handing it to the other party’s mouth, not to mention his focused gaze and his constant companionship.
They were afraid there was no other man who was so attentive and considerate to his wife.
Now, when people in the capital mention King Rui, they say less about him being the ‘King of Hell’ and more about how loving he is with his princess. The martial arts fanatic has actually become a wife-obsessed person.
Many people were envious and jealous of Su Yi.
She has a unique beauty, the noble position of a princess, and all the favor of the King. She has all the good things in the world. How can people not feel jealous when they mention her?
Others were envious, but Su Yi herself was distressed.
One or two days would be fine, but King Rui was sticking to her like this every day, which annoyed her so much that she finally lured him to the martial arts field for a fight.
She finally kicked the loser out of the palace and asked him to go to work, giving herself half a day off.
Qing Lian looked at her leisurely and relaxed appearance and couldn’t help laughing: “Others envy the love between the King and the Princess, but they don’t know that the Princess is worried about the spring water in the pond.”
“Don’t mention him.”
Su Yi leaned against the window, looking at the snow water dripping under the eaves, and said unhappily.
Spring is coming. Although melting snow is colder than snowing, after the snow melts, tender green buds emerge on the exposed land.
Su Yi calculated with her fingers and found that when she came into this world, the peach blossoms were about to bloom.
It has been exactly one year now. The wish she made at the beginning has basically been fulfilled, except for the addition of a sticky follower.
Qing Lian seemed to recall the past as well. She looked out the window and said with emotion, “A year ago, I didn’t dare to imagine the good life we have now. Miss actually became the princess, and the King is still so kind to you. It feels like a dream.”
Su Yi smiled and said, “Why should you not dare to imagine it? It’s still early now. I can’t bear to let you go, but in the future, when you have children, no matter whether they are boys or girls, I will let them go and let them be free. If they are promising and willing to study, I will support them. One day, when your children become officials, I will ask for an imperial decree for you. That will be your good life.”
Qing Lian’s eyes were filled with tears when she heard this. She opened her mouth, but she didn’t know what to say to express gratitude.
Su Yi tilted her head and teased her with a smile: “I wonder if you have a baby in your belly now.”
It was originally a joke, but Qing Lian subconsciously touched her belly, and her face gradually turned red.
“Did I guess it right?” Su Yi blinked, looking surprised.
“When did it happen? Why didn’t you tell me?”
Qing Lian blushed and stammered, “It’s not confirmed yet, but my period has been late for more than 20 days this month. I’m afraid it’s a false alarm…”
“Why are you afraid of false alarms? You must be pregnant!” Su Yi said confidently.
She immediately asked someone to invite a physician and then taught Qing Lian a lesson: “You need to be most careful in the first few months, but you come to serve me and run around with me. What if you get bumped? When the physician comes to see you, you can go back and rest. There’s nothing to worry about with me. Qing Xing is enough.”
“How can you say it so seriously, Miss? Besides, Qing Xing is not experienced enough to handle a big scene, so you’d better let this servant follow you.”
Su Yi waved her hand and decided on the spot, “I have experience in giving birth, just do as I say.”
After she finished speaking, Qing Lian looked at her strangely and almost asked: You have never given birth to a child, so where do you get this experience?
Su Yi had indeed never given birth, but she had been treated as a pregnant woman. The 24-hour care without blind spots was enough to leave a deep impression on anyone who had experienced it.
