Seeing the various meats and vegetables prepared by Xie Qinghuan, Shen Mingzhu went to her courtyard and specially bought various meatballs, sesame paste, peanut sauce and other hot pot seasonings from the system store. She came back carrying many things, telling her mother she bought from a merchant.
High-end ingredients often require the simplest cooking methods.
But a good dipping sauce is essential.
Mother shen smiled happily and praised her a lot.
The family slowly began to cook hot pot around the table.
Looking at everything in front of her, Shen Mingzhu happily communicated with the system in her mind.
Guagua, give me a melon for dinner. Let's lighten the mood.
Host, here it is.
Princess Chang Le stormed into the palace with her husband, Tian, in a fit of anger. Emperor Jingyuan gave his daughter three choices: First, abort the child in her womb and live happily with Tian Dachui, her husband. Second, divorce Tian, and they would have no further contact in their own marriages, with her raising the child alone. Third, relinquish her princess status, be demoted to a commoner, and live her life as she wished, with him no longer interfering in her affairs.
Princess Chang Le couldn't hold back any longer. Her father, who had always doted on her, had suddenly changed overnight! He should stand up for her! Why wasn't he on her side...?
What's going on? Mother, Mother, I am going to find you!
Princess Chang Le burst into tears on the spot, looking at Emperor Jingyuan with a face full of grievance, and said: "Father, how cruel you are! This is your grandson! Waaah..."
Seeing her expression, Emperor Jingyuan immediately dispatched his chief eunuch, Defu, also known as his "Consort Fu," to accompany her, determined to make her decide today.
Emperor Jingyuan: I don't want to be scolded again tomorrow morning for not knowing how to educate my children.
Shen Mingzhu swallowed the tempura in her mouth and then started chatting with Guagua.
Everyone at the table listened intently, and it was quite good; it was a good accompaniment to their meal.
Xie Hao, in particular, was grinning like a sycophant.
"Mingzhu, what good things did you give my older cousin?"
Then a pair of dog eyes looked at her, his face saying, "I want one too."
"I'll deliver one to your yard in a bit."
"Okay, okay."
Xie Hao smiled with an air of utter worthlessness.
Host, let me tell you another juicy tidbit. Xie Hao is incredibly adorably naive. He called Shi Wenya "Miss Wenxuan" and even shamelessly called her "Little Sister Xuan," which gave Shi Wenya goosebumps. She ended up running away in a panic, and even his father, Xie Yuze, got blamed for it.
Guagua, I never knew my cousin Hao had this kind of talent.
Xie Hao was so embarrassed that he almost buried himself under the table.
What a ridiculous joke I made! It's so embarrassing!!!
Hahaha...
Mr. and Mrs. Shen couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.
Shen Mingzhu was delighted to hear this and couldn't help but ask the system to reveal a few more juicy details.
Host, there's another matter. Today, when the Xuan King returned to his residence, he put on a particularly pretentious act, having someone take a thousand taels of gold and deposit it into the national treasury. He even told Shen Jiaojiao that this was a contribution to the Great Yan so that all the officials would see his virtue.
Guagua, Shen Jiaojiao definitely believes it!
Yes, host, the female lead firmly believes in the male lead. Besides, Yan Yunxuan is indeed contributing to the Great Yan, but he's concealing the fact that he was punished by Emperor Jingyuan with thousand taels gold.
Yan Yunxuan: As long as I don't say anything, this is not true.
All the officials: We are all living people, and we all have memories.
Guagua, I've figured it out. The Second Prince, Yan Yunxuan, is nothing but a vain and hypocritical scoundrel. He doesn't even have the courage to admit his mistakes!
Host, it's fortunate you broke off the engagement. Considering you were once engaged to him, I truly feel sorry for you.
Guagua, don't worry, my current fiancé is Crown Prince Yan Beichen, and I dumped him a long time ago!
Host, you're amazing!!!
Absolutely!
Mr. and Mrs. Shen exchanged a glance, and both saw smiles in each other's eyes.
Shen Qinghong: My little sister is so outstanding. It's a shame the second prince has no taste.
Shen Qinglan: That's good. My little sister didn't marry into that family. Otherwise, she would have suffered the same fate.
Shen Qingzhan: Little sister is right. That kind of man doesn't deserve such a good little sister.
Shen Qingbo: My sister is amazing, and her Crown Prince is amazing too. They will be a great couple in the future.
Xie Hao: Mingzhu is the best. She has found her Mr. Right. That's wonderful.
Crown Prince Yan Beichen: My beloved is here!
My beloved is here!!!
Hahaha... I've found a huge pearl!!!
From now on, you will be my precious little darling.
Yay!!!
Dinner was spent in a joyful and warm atmosphere.
The next day, Shen Mingzhu stood in the Golden Palace, looking radiant.
Imperial Censor Wang stood in front, his face pale, and he even gagged a few times.
Guagua, what's wrong with Imperial Censor Wang? Did he eat something bad?
Haha, host, I have good news for you! Imperial Censor Wang didn't have an upset stomach; he's just experiencing morning sickness!!!
The entire court: Huh? ???
Listen to what you're saying.
Only Shen Changyuan stood calmly at the very front.
Now he can easily and calmly accept whatever Shen Mingzhu says...
Crown Prince Yan Beichen: Can men also experience morning sickness?
Imperial Censor Wang: What exactly are you talking about?
This imperial censor has had a poor appetite these past few days because he ate something that upset his stomach!
Shen Mingzhu: You're being stubborn!
Guagua, what exactly happened?
Host, Imperial Censor Wang was too anxious after Madam Wang became pregnant. Madam Wang is perfectly fine, eating, drinking, and sleeping well, but Imperial Censor Wang has made himself very anxious. Plus, it's the fertility pills produced by the system, which is why he's experiencing morning sickness!
Imperial Censor Wang listened to Shen Mingzhu's innermost thoughts in disbelief.
Ugh, ugh, ugh ~~~ "
Ugh, ugh, ugh ~~~ "
Ugh, ugh, ugh ~~~ "
I feel even worse!
Men can experience morning sickness!
What kind of international joke is this?!
Can men really get pregnant and give birth?
This is utterly upside down!
Since ancient times, Qian has symbolized heaven and the male principle, while Kun has symbolized earth and the female principle. The way of Qian embodies masculinity and the way of Kun embodies femininity. The union of Qian and Kun gives rise to all things under heaven.
Now that Imperial Censor Wang is experiencing morning sickness, they simply can't believe it.
Guagua, can men also experience morning sickness? How is that possible?
Host, it's clear from the sight that Imperial Censor Wang and his wife are very much in love.
Imperial Censor Wang: Isn't that obvious?
His relationship with his wife was not without its challenges, but it ultimately ended happily.
Now that they have a child, the two feel very happy every day.
Guagua, does this have anything to do with a loving relationship between husband and wife?
Host, actually, it's just that Imperial Censor Wang was too worried about Madam Wang. His body was constantly tense, and this excessive tension caused him to vomit. It also reflects the deep affection between Imperial Censor Wang and his wife.
All the officials: Oh~~~ "
I see.
They wondered what had happened!
Master Shen speaks with such heavy riddles. It's terrifying!
They even thought that Imperial Censor Wang would have children!
Imperial Censor Wang: What utter nonsense!
You've lost your mind!
Look, what's wrong with this gentleman? Let's report him to the authorities!
Snort!
The entire court: Very well, very well, it's still the same unruly Imperial Censor Wang.
That's more like it!
Emperor Jingyuan, sitting at the very head of the table, couldn't help but recall when Empress Lin was pregnant. He felt very nervous and even vomited!
The imperial physicians at the Imperial Hospital were terrified at the time…
So it turns out it was the result of my loving relationship with the Empress!
Emperor Jingyuan suddenly felt happy, his lips slightly upturned, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
It all seemed so natural.
Thinking back to that time, it was the sweetest time he and the Empress ever had. I really miss it!
Look at the precious prince at the next table. This is the fruit of their love. Now, he can stand on his own. He is very outstanding and gratifying.
