Chapter 198 Cannon Fodder Wife (20)
"What's wrong with being Yaoyao's mistress? I'm also willing to be Yaoyao's mistress."
"The concubine didn't eat other people's food, nor did she occupy any extra property in other people's homes. What's there to criticize?"
Shen Yanting raised his eyebrows and retorted indignantly, which made Di Chen's face look more and more serious.
"Don't think that you're any different just because you're the emperor. You have to know that if anyone had the chance to see Yaoyao, would they really give her up?"
"Let alone a concubine, even if there's even the slightest connection, I think everyone would come here in droves."
Shen Yanting muttered, "Who knows if you will even be able to get this title by then."
Then, imitating Lin Shuyi's tone, he added the last sentence in a sarcastic tone, "If you don't like having a concubine, being a concubine is also very good."
Lin Shuwei glanced at him coldly, but did not stop him.
Di Chen sneered, "Since the decision has been made, why both of you need to discuss it with me again?"
"There has to be a process. Just like Your Majesty, even if you want to abolish the aristocratic official system, you can just pretend to kill a few people." Shen Yanting was now afraid that he would not be able to anger Emperor Chen to death.
"Oh, for example, if you wanted to eat pork elbow, you only went around in front of the Empress Dowager and then built a pigpen in Renshou Palace."
Di Chen raised his foot and kicked him, "Shen Yanting, are you itching for trouble again? If you are, go to the wasteland outside and roll around a few times."
"Alright, alright, I know you've already agreed. Let's go to the palace and find something that can replenish Yaoyao's body. Let's specifically look for something in Renshou Palace."
Shen Yanting jokingly took Di Chen away, whose expression was gradually improving. He turned his back to the door and waved his hand.
Lin Shuwei stood at the door, his eyes faintly glowing. Under the dazzling sunlight, the sky was clearer than any other day.

Sui Yu slept for two hours, and when she woke up, it was time for lunch.
The maids came in one after another, and various daily nourishing meals were placed on the table. Before Sui Yu got out of bed, she smelled the overbearing and lingering fragrance.
She was tired most of last night and didn't have breakfast this morning. Sui Yu had already started to think about the empty city plan in her stomach.
Lin Shuwei took the hot towel from the maid and gently wiped Suiyu's face. She rubbed the corners of her eyes with a distressed look, "It's still a little swollen."
"It doesn't hurt, and it's not uncomfortable." Sui Yu's moist pupils lit up, and she tilted her little head and replied softly.
Lin Shuwei smiled and helped Suiyu rinse her mouth. "It's good as long as it doesn't hurt."
As he spoke, he picked her up sideways, and his movements were particularly bold when there were still maids coming in and out.
There were a few people who were seen by Sui Yu, who were either trying to hold back their laughter or whose ears and cheeks turned red. They quickly finished what they were doing and retreated with smiles on their faces.
Sui Yu's cheeks were flushed with pink, and she wanted to bury herself in the man's arms, "It's all your fault..."
"We are husband and wife, and the legitimate masters of this mansion. What's wrong with being affectionate?" Lin Shuwei smiled softly.
Sui Yu was fed a mouthful of fresh fish soup, and after swallowing it, she felt like she was coming back to life. "You shouldn't do that in front of everyone."
"But I really enjoy holding you like this and feeding you. It makes my heart surge, just like all those political achievements."
"Then... then don't do this when there are many people around." Sui Yu's voice was soft, so sweet that you could almost taste honey.
"Okay, Suisui, eat more. Tomorrow I'll buy you some sesame cakes from the shop at the corner of East Market Street."
............
Inside the Imperial Palace, Renshou Palace, the Treasure Pavilion in the East Courtyard.
Shen Yanting broke off half of the pancake and handed it to Di Chen, "Do you want to eat it?"
Di Chen took a glance and said, "Too greasy."
"Forget it. This is Yaoyao's favorite." Shen Yanting raised his eyebrows and glanced at him.
Di Chen turned his hand that was reaching for the wooden box on the shelf and took the half-eaten pancake. "It's worth a try."
"Oh, this ginseng looks like it must be hundreds of years old. Take it away."
"I heard that the woman enjoyed this golden bird's nest, so I took it too."
Shen Yanting wiped the oil droplets on his hands on the shelf without any hesitation.
Turning around, he saw that Di Chen had almost filled the large wooden box that Li Lian had brought with him, box after box.
"Who's in there? Someone's stealing in Renshou Palace! Someone come quickly!"
When the maid who first discovered it rushed in with her men, only a few oily fingerprints were left covering it, clearly proclaiming that the Treasure Pavilion was empty.
A gentle spring breeze blew by, bringing with it a timely sense of desolation, which was particularly sad.
"Quickly call the imperial physician, the Empress Dowager has fainted..."
"Princess Duanyang, the Queen Mother has fainted..."
Duan Yang came to Renshou Palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager as usual today, when he suddenly encountered something he had never seen before.
While accompanying the empress dowager in waiting for the imperial physician with a hooded look, he was still looking at the nanny accompanying him in confusion.
..........
Three days later.
"Yaoyao, are you really pregnant?" Yan Qingyue gently touched Suiyu's belly, half in surprise and half in amazement, "There could be a baby in here?"
He took the honey water brought by Iris, sipped it with half the rim of the cup in his mouth, his eyes full of amazement.
Sui Yu was amused by her expression and took her hand, pulling it away and shaking it, "Yes, Jiaojiao, you almost rubbed my belly flat."
Yan Qingyue hurriedly moved away from her lower abdomen, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No, no, it's just that you being so cautious makes me feel a little uncomfortable."
Yan Qingyue almost wanted to poke her head, "This is the first time I've seen this too. None of the sisters around me are pregnant yet. Yaoyao, you got married the latest, so you should be the first to have a child."
He hesitated for a long time, and in the face of Sui Yu's increasingly dangerous look, he asked hesitantly, "You and Lord Lin have been married for only a few months, and you have a child so early, he won't..."
Sui Yu was at a loss for words, but she knew she was worried about her. "No, have you forgotten the Lin family's ancestral teachings?"
"Even if I don't take a concubine, it doesn't mean I can't have a maid." Yan Qingyue argued in a low voice.
"Don't listen to other people's nonsense about not having a legitimate relationship being fine. If Rong Moshen dares to have any conflict with another woman, I will divorce him immediately and live a happy life on my own."
If Sui Yu didn't know her personality and grew up with her, just by hearing these words, she would probably misunderstand that she had traveled from the modern era.
After all, this idea is considered extremely advanced even in Dongchen, where the culture is relatively open and there are many examples of divorces.
"Really? I know you're someone who only thinks of others, and I'm afraid you'll be wronged, so I'm speaking to you from the bottom of my heart."
"If you ever suffer an unbearable injustice in the future, remember to take care of yourself first. No matter what, others... can never be better than you, understand?"
Sui Yu listened to her every word, looked at her seriously, and nodded in response, "Okay, I'll remember it all."
After Yan Qingyue left, it was almost noon.
Sui Yu was learning to weave with Iris when a maid came in and reported, "Madam, someone from the palace is waiting for you in the main hall for tea."
