Wei Shuxuan learned from Chief Eunuch Li that Xin Zizhao was going to hold a banquet in the Star - Moon Pavilion. She quickly changed her clothes and wanted to go and take a look. However, as soon as she stepped out of the door, Chief Eunuch Li stopped her. She frowned and looked at him. "What's the matter, Chief Eunuch Li?"
"Your Majesty the Queen, His Majesty has given the order that you're not allowed to go out. Moreover, he doesn't intend to let you attend today's banquet."
"What? Why is that?" Wei Shuxuan looked at Chief Eunuch Li in confusion. Why wasn't she allowed to attend the banquet? Her black eyes were rolling. Xin Zizhao had told her before that he was going to prepare for the peace negotiation with the Qiangfeng Kingdom. So, there must be envoys sent from the Qiangfeng Kingdom.
Just as Chief Eunuch Li was hesitating about how to answer Wei Shuxuan's question, she asked him another one. "Chief Eunuch Li, has the Qiangfeng Kingdom sent someone here recently?"
"....Yes, Your Majesty the Queen."
"Do you know who it is?" Wei Shuxuan already had an answer in mind. She just wanted to get a definite answer from Chief Eunuch Li.
Chief Eunuch Li didn't know why Wei Shuxuan asked him this question, but after thinking for a while, he still answered her. "Your Majesty the Queen, it seems to be a man named Bai Yue."
Sure enough! It was really Bai Yue! Xin Zizhao just didn't want her to see Bai Yue.
However... listening to the pleasant music and the lively noise coming from not far away, Wei Shuxuan became even more dissatisfied. There was nothing between her and Bai Yue. Why did he restrict her from attending the banquet? Although she thought so, Wei Shuxuan wouldn't attend the banquet openly.
"I have a good idea~" Chief Eunuch Li watched as a smile played on Wei Shuxuan's lips. Suddenly, he had a bad feeling.
As a result, Wei Shuxuan disguised herself as a eunuch and went to the banquet. Chief Eunuch Li was worried that something might happen to her, so he still followed her. "Your Majesty the Queen, you're still pregnant. It's better not to do such things."
"Don't be afraid. Xin Zizhao won't notice. If you're scared, Chief Eunuch Li, you don't have to follow me."
Wei Shuxuan waved her hand casually, signaling Chief Eunuch Li not to worry, but he still couldn't set his mind at ease, so he had to follow behind her.
When they arrived at the Star - Moon Pavilion, Wei Shuxuan found that many people had attended this banquet. Yet Xin Zizhao didn't invite her. She was the mother of the nation. How could he not invite her!
Wei Shuxuan and Chief Eunuch Li hid in the grass of the Star - Moon Pavilion. Suddenly, they heard someone asking Xin Zizhao, "Your Majesty, why hasn't Your Majesty the Queen attended this banquet?"
"Her Majesty the Queen is indisposed, so it's inconvenient for her to attend this banquet."
Although Wei Shuxuan had been pregnant for three months, Xin Zizhao hadn't announced it to the people in the palace yet. In this regard, he wanted to respect Wei Shuxuan's own opinion.
"Her Majesty the Queen is indisposed?" Bai Yue slightly frowned his handsome eyebrows, then casually did a divination with his hand, and then showed a faint smile. "I see. Congratulations, Your Majesty. This is really a good thing."
Xin Zizhao saw all of Bai Yue's actions. He didn't expect this man to be a warlock. Moreover, he estimated that this man had already divined that his Xuan'er was pregnant.
"Don't talk about this casually."
Xin Zizhao silently reminded Bai Yue, while Bai Yue just smiled faintly. "Anyway, people will know about this sooner or later. Moreover, Your Majesty, do you think Her Majesty the Queen will really stay quietly in her bedroom listening to the lively noise outside?"
It was undeniable that Bai Yue was right. According to Xin Zizhao's understanding of Wei Shuxuan, a single Chief Eunuch Li couldn't stop her. So, there must be Wei Shuxuan's figure in a certain corner of the Star - Moon Pavilion now.
"Damn it! Can't this Bai Yue just not expose me! Shit!" Wei Shuxuan whispered and cursed in the grass.
The patrolling guards noticed the movement in the grass and quickly came to check. They were surprised to find two little eunuchs inside and quickly grabbed them. "What are you two doing here!"
However, when the guard saw the face of one of the little eunuchs, he was so scared that he knelt down. "Your... Your Majesty the Queen!"
"Go, go, go and patrol for me!"
"Yes!" Before the guard could even finish his answer, he had already run away.
As a result, Xin Zizhao still asked Wei Shuxuan to go back and change into a set of clothes before attending this banquet. He didn't want Wei Shuxuan to cause any big trouble at this banquet.
After signing the peace agreement with the Qiangfeng Kingdom, the days had been really peaceful recently. Wei Shuxuan's belly was getting bigger and bigger, but she still couldn't stay idle. She always jumped around, which made Wei Tu and Xin Zizhao very worried about her.
"It's okay. You're worrying too much," every time Wei Shuxuan heard their warnings like this, she would wave her hand casually. "It's not that easy to have an accident!"
In a blink of an eye, winter came again. The whole land was covered in silver white. The trees in the yard of the Fenghe Hall had lost all their leaves, and white ice strips hung on them.
Wei Shuxuan was enjoying the warmth brought by the brazier in the room. At this time, her belly was already eight months pregnant. As her belly got bigger and the weather got colder, she became less and less willing to move.
Just then, Xin Zizhao came back. As soon as he opened the door, a cold wind blew in. The fire in the brazier flickered slightly. Wei Shuxuan felt the cold wind and quickly reminded Xin Zizhao, "Close the door quickly."
"How's your body today?" Xin Zizhao gave his cloak to the maid in the room, walked to Wei Shuxuan's side, and felt her pulse.
"Not bad, just so - so..." Wei Shuxuan's voice suddenly stopped in her throat.
Xin Zizhao looked at her strangely. "What's wrong?"
"I think I'm going to give birth..." Wei Shuxuan finally told Xin Zizhao.
Xin Zizhao quickly looked down and saw that her amniotic fluid had really broken. He quickly called someone to prepare hot water and summon the midwife.
In this cold winter full of white, Wei Shuxuan and Xin Zizhao welcomed their baby son.
Time flew by. Another summer came. Wei Shuxuan was walking in the yard with their baby in her arms. Just then, two figures rushed towards them. Wei Shuxuan recognized these two figures.
"Xuan'er, I'm back. Has Yu'er been a good boy today?"
"Sister Xuan, I've come to see my precious nephew."
Wei Shuxuan rolled her eyes at them, threw the baby in her arms to them, and said, "You take care of him. I'm going to sleep."
