Chapter 10:

Gu Suier definitely doesn't understand what means or means.
She was a little disappointed when she heard that Xiao Heng was not in the house, but she was relieved again, returned to her room, and began to take up needlework. Her little tadpole has been six months old, and she will give birth in more than three months. She has to make some clothes and shoes first.
In fact, the old lady said that she didn't need to do it because she was afraid that she would break her eyes when she was doing needlework with her body. She said that there were embroiders in the house who could make all kinds of children's clothes.
However, Gu Suier couldn’t stay idle. She was handy since she was a child. She always asked her for help when she cut fresh clothes patterns or gadgets made by individuals. The little baby wore new clothes, a small belly and tiger shoes. I have also done it for A Liu who is next door.
She asked for some fabrics from the old lady, which were all top quality, soft and slippery to the touch, she began to make clothes for her little tadpoles one by one.
She was sitting there embroidering the patterns on the uppers, and the mother Anam next to her was talking back and forth, occasionally serving tea and water.
"Little madam, you are such a wonderful person, you still do this stuff, I would never do this at such an age!"
Mother An was also a person next to the old lady earlier, and later served in Xiao Heng's courtyard. She may not be more proud in front of the master, but she can also casually call the little girl below. She has not touched this kind of needlework for many years. Up.
"Little madam, I let the kitchen boil the bird's nest soup, you drink some, this nourishes the body, and is good for the children in the stomach."
Gu Suier listened, put down the work in her hand, took the bird's nest soup and drank slowly.
Although she used to help in the town inn, she has seen the world, but naturally this bird's nest soup has never been seen before. Thanks to Mother An's nagging, she also knows that this bird's nest soup is a good thing to nourish children.
She actually didn't quite understand, this bird's nest soup said so much better, how could it smell like raw eggs?
But as long as it is good for tadpoles, she will try to swallow it even if she doesn't like the taste too much.
After eating the bird's nest soup, she remembered: "Mother An, didn't you say that the bird's nest is almost gone a few days ago? Why have it been there all these days?"
Mother An took the bowl and said with a smile: "Little madam, I forgot to tell you. It was the lady who sent someone to ask. Knowing that there are not many bird's nests, she specially sent a box with twenty in it. A few, I think it’s enough to eat for a month."
Gu Suier listened and was grateful. Although this lady is always cold and indifferent, she looks a little scary at first, but she is actually very good. She has been in the house for so long, thanks inside and out. She took care of it.
"Then should I go and thank the lady?"
"The good things in our room are either rewarded by the old lady or delivered by the lady. If you thank you every day, you won’t be able to thank you. I don’t think the little lady has to worry too much about it. It’s just that I’ll see you someday. Just mention it. In fact, a mere bird's nest is nothing in this Hou Mansion, and it's a bit unsightly to step forward to thank you."
When Gu Suier heard it, she thought that she was a person who had never seen the world. Since the mother said that it was a shameless approach, then let it go.
"Then I will go over to the old lady tomorrow, please, if I meet the old lady, I will raise my mouth, thank her."
"Yes, it should be like this."
After eating the bird's nest soup, the little tadpoles in his stomach seemed to be unable to hold back. They were kicking, so Gu Suier asked Mother An to hold him and walked back and forth in the yard.
She is used to being busy in the countryside. She entered this mansion at first, except for the old lady's greetings, but also didn't go out much. She felt bored in the house all day, so she wanted to go out and walk in the courtyard when she was fine.
Although the bamboo garden has only bamboo and no other flowers and plants, it is green at best. It is good for your eyes to take a leisurely look.
As he was walking, he heard footsteps coming from outside, yet he didn't understand what was going on, a handsome man stepped into the yard.
It's Xiao Heng.
The robe Xiao Heng wears today is different from last night and this morning. Although it is also a crimson robe, the hem of the robe is embroidered with various complicated and delicate patterns on the cuffs and neckline. There is also a white jade belt on the waist. The whole person looks like this morning. More expensive.
It may not only be Jingui, but the momentum is also different.
Now it looks very majestic, even more majestic than the county official.
I just got to know Xiao Heng a little bit before, but now he suddenly changed.
Gu Suier felt her belly and stood beside the bamboo, feeling a little at a loss.
Xiao Heng was also slightly startled when he saw her when he entered the yard, and then stepped up to her.
He came over, obviously to talk to her, but he didn't speak, just stood beside her.
This made Gu Suier very uncomfortable. She thought about it and understood that one of the two must speak first.
He didn't say, let her come.
"The slave maid has seen the third master." She said this, imitating Bao Ya's speech.
When she spoke, Xiao Heng's eyes looked at her changed.
That familiar feeling came again, and Gu Suier felt that she had done something wrong again.
As for what she did wrong, she still didn't know.
Xiao Heng saw the confusion that appeared in her eyes, and knew that she didn't understand, and finally said, "From now on, don't call yourself a slave."
Gu Suier didn't understand even more: "Then...what do I call myself?"
She had seen the concubine's room of Master Hou, but she had never seen how the concubine's room called herself in front of Master Hou, so she didn't know what she should call herself in front of Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng's gaze shifted downward and fell on her stomach.
The belly is quite pointed, quite inconsistent with her slender figure.
He suddenly remembered the feeling of putting his hand up that day, when she was desperately trying to make the little baby inside move.
It's just that the little baby doesn't give much face.
"The fetus in your womb is my child, the first child." Xiao Heng said about it.
"Yeah." Gu Suier didn't know how he mentioned this suddenly, so she didn't interrupt, but just hmmed slightly.
"My child's mother cannot call herself a slave." Xiao Heng's voice had a strange sense of seriousness.
"Yeah." Gu Suier didn't understand a question of title. She didn't quite understand how to talk about it, so she didn't dare to say anything. She just waited patiently for him to continue.
However, Xiao Heng didn't say anything.
He took a step closer and raised his hand to touch her belly.
He is so tall that he can only lower his head to touch her belly. When he lowers his head, his chin is almost in her ear.
Gu Suier was stiff and didn't dare to move a bit.
As long as she moved, her ears would rub against his chin.
From her perspective, she could even clearly see his rigid chin and the Adam's apple in his neck.
The male Adam's apple is unfamiliar to her. Although she was engaged to Brother Shitou, in fact, when Brother Shitou grew up, she only spoke from a distance.
She hadn't seen a man's Adam's apple so close.
Perhaps the little tadpole in his abdomen felt his mother's tension, and he actually kicked his belly.
"Hey!"
This kick came suddenly, she was caught off guard and screamed.
Xiao Heng by his side subconsciously supported her waist.
"What's the matter?" A low, cold voice came into my ears.
"No..." She shook her head slightly: "It's okay, he moved just now and kicked me."
Hearing this, Xiao Heng lowered his head and looked at her belly again.
He actually felt it.
As he put his hand on her belly, there was a soft force in it wriggling and kicking.
This is his child.
Xiao Heng looked for a long time and nodded: "Yes, he moved."
After Gu Suier was kicked, after slowly recovering, she glanced at Xiao Heng.
"San Ye... Then, how should I claim to be?"
This is a problem, she hasn't forgotten it yet.
Xiao Heng looked up at her: "What do you call yourself now?"
Gu Suier: "Huh?"
what? What?
Xiao Heng: "How can I talk before, now I can talk about it."
She is not his wife, just a concubine.
Concubine is to call herself a concubine, but Xiao Heng doesn't like it.
So, let's go with her.
As for what others think of this matter, he doesn't care.
Gu Suier was lost in thought, what is he talking about? She didn't understand it at all.
Xiao Heng looked at her contemplative little appearance, and said indifferently; "I entered the palace today, and the emperor rewarded you with something. I have sent someone to the yard. You can take a look when you return to the house."
Gu Suier wondered: "Give it to me?"
Xiao Heng: "Yes."
Gu Suier was even more puzzled: "Why reward me?"
Xiao Heng was too lazy to explain this kind of problem: "Not why."
Gu Suier: "I don't know the emperor either. How could he give me something well."
Xiao Heng: "..."
He glanced at Mother An beside him, motioned to Mother An to take care of Gu Suier, and then went straight into the house.
Only Gu Suier was left there trying to clear these things that she had encountered.
"The meaning of the third master actually means that I can call myself me, I am me, I don't have to say that I am a slave, right?"
Gu Suier cracked her fingers to figure out the problem.
"But why does the emperor reward me? He doesn't know me, and I don't know him? San Ye knows the emperor. Is it possible to say that the emperor rewarded me because of San Ye? That seems to be the case."
Gu Suier finally figured out this fact.
Gu Suier who understood these things suddenly felt very satisfied.
She understood that this mansion was different from their village.
The same was a big belly. The villagers regarded the tadpole in her belly as a wicked species, and jokes that she pityed her, but Houfu treated the tadpole in her belly as a baby, and pampered her to protect her.
Because of the little tadpole in her belly, she received too much care in this mansion, and even the emperor in the palace wanted to give her something.
And Xiao Heng, he just now--
Gu Suier recalled the feeling he felt when he touched his belly.
Her lips overflowed with a smile unconsciously.
He felt the tadpole kick.
