In fact, seeing the eunuch who passed the decree, Liu Ling's mind that was burned by anger gradually regained consciousness. Her original intention was not to make a big deal out of it, she only needed to bring back the county lord of Huining from Liu Hui, and she could secretly settle the matter. Who knows that things backfired, but when she arrived here, she was provoked by Liu Hui and Hua Lianyue to be angry, and she would impulsively make the absurd act of attacking.

In this way, when the matter really came to the emperor, she became more and more unreasonable. In addition to the anger in her heart, the sharp arrow in her hand still flew out, but she didn't dare to aim at Liu Hui's heart after all, so she could only wipe her ears and vent the anger in her heart.

The emperor's will was naturally to let the troublesome Liu Hui and Liu Ling be escorted into the palace, and Liu Ling took the opportunity to propose to bring the county lord of Huining into the palace together. Liu Hui lazily said that the county lord of Huining had already been sent by him to the Zongren Temple where the offender's relatives were imprisoned.

Liu Ling was so angry that she fell back and made trouble for a long time, but the main owner was not in the courtyard at all. Then her tossing has damaged a lot of henchmen, where did the so-called come from!

The eunuch naturally didn't care about this, only bent down humbly, and asked Liu Hui and Liu Ling, the two important enemies, to enter the palace as soon as possible. Suddenly, he heard an exclamation, and the eunuch couldn't help but raise his eyes, but he was shocked to see that Hua Lianyue had passed out in Liu Hui's arms.......

The next day, Liu Hui didn't go anywhere, and stayed in the house to accompany Hua Lianyue for a whole day. After they finished walking, they stood under the plum tree that was driven by ice and snow to enjoy the flowers, and then asked Qingying and a few people to take the ice and snow on the plum blossoms that had not yet melted, put them in a ghost-faced green urn, sealed them with yellow mud and buried them under the plum tree, ready to dig them out to make tea in the coming year.

The north wind was getting tighter, the sky was overcast, and there were signs of snow, so they went back to the warm pavilion to take shelter. Ye Wushuang had nothing to do, so she stewed a pot of lotus root stewed pork rib soup with her own hands, it turned out that she was also a master of cooking, and she was very good at soup cooking, so Hua Lianyue drank two bowls with satisfaction, until her little belly became round, and she didn't give up.

Liu Hui couldn't help but reach out and touch her belly, and quickly moved away, then rubbed his fingers and smirked helplessly. Hua Lianyue smiled and said, "Why don't you touch it more?"

Liu Hui shook his head and said, "I have heavy hands, I'm afraid I will hurt you." ”

Hua Lianyue pursed her lips, lowered her head to look at her slightly bulging abdomen, and said with a smile: "Where is it so squeamish." With that, she took his hand and put it on her belly. Then he gently covered the back of his hand and said coquettishly: "Just be lighter, the child will like it." ”

Hearing the word "child", Liu Hui's expression became more and more excited, and he reverently put his palm lightly against her belly, with a very dignified attitude. Even through the thick jacket, you can still feel the warmth and pulsation under your hands, which is a very magical feeling. It was so magical that he couldn't help but have hot eyes and a sour nose.

Hua Lianyue suddenly fainted last night, Liu Hui thought that she had been plotted after all, and even her eyes were red, and she almost tore Liu Ling alive. When the imperial doctor diagnosed that Hua Lianyue was only pregnant, and her body was weak and her emotions were too strong to faint, he was simply stunned.

Before getting married, Liu Yiliang had a secret conversation with him without telling Hua Lianyue, so he had long known the fact that her body was damaged and it was difficult to get pregnant. At that time, he felt that it didn't matter whether he had children or not, as long as he had her by his side, everything was enough.

I didn't expect God to be gracious, and after so many tribulations, he would actually give him a child. With this child, it is enough to make up for all his regrets. At this moment, he is extremely grateful to God, after all, he still treats him well.

Probably because he cared too much, he was suffering from gains and losses at the moment, and after feeling the warmth and softness under his hand, he still reluctantly removed his hand. Leaned down and kissed her lightly on the cheek, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about the affairs of the house in the future, just leave it to the old housekeeper." When spring began, I planted two golden cinnamon trees in the yard. Our child will be born in early autumn, and the yard will be full of golden cinnamon, just like when we first met in Meiling County, how good. ”

Hua Lianyue was attracted by the beauty he depicted, leaning on his warm arms, she said with anticipation: "It's good, in addition to Jin Gui, we can also plant some fruit trees and vines." In the spring, the courtyard is full of fragrance, and when it is the harvest season, the children can climb the trees and pick fruits to eat, how good!"

Liu Hui smiled dumbly, scratched the tip of her nose lightly, and said with a smile: "It's good, but if it's a daughter, can't you just watch it under the tree." ”

Hua Lianyue raised her eyebrows and said unconvinced: "Who said that, back then, I was better at climbing trees than the eldest brother and the second brother." Naturally, my daughter will not be bad. ”

Liu Hui nodded and said seriously: "I think so too!"

Hua Lianyue's eyes rolled, and she reflexively hooked his neck, her fingers wrapping around his long hair. Circle after circle, after half a ring, he tilted his head and said: "You have to wait until early autumn to give birth, and no one has been waiting for you for so long, can you still bear it?"

He was slightly embarrassed, and then quipped: "I just love to think about what I have and don't have." If you don't feel at ease, you can jail me every day. ”

Hua Lianyue couldn't help but snicker, and rested her head on his shoulder again.

After half a ring, Liu Hui suddenly said: "Yue'er, now that you have our child in your belly, you can't rely on your own inviolability in the future, and dare to swallow any poison." It is important to know that pregnancy can make a great change in a woman's body and child, in case ......."

"I know, I know, I'm scared now! At that time, I would do that just to make them take it lightly!" Before Liu Hui finished speaking, Hua Lianyue interrupted him coquettishly.

Liu Hui tightened his arms and hugged her no longer chattering, the charcoal fire in the gilded beast-patterned copper furnace was peeling off with a soft sound of orange and red shimmer, and the Lingbo fairy in the blue and white glazed multicolored bat shou quadrangular bottle became more and more delicate. The crystal bead curtain that hangs quietly reflects the crystal clear luster, which is so quiet and beautiful at the moment.

The two of them closed the door of the house, and ignored the lobbyists from all walks of life who were so anxious that they jumped outside, and spent a few days of fairy days with grinding ears and temples. However, at night, there was still a steady stream of news reaching Liu Hui's ears.

It is said that the emperor originally wanted to suppress the matter, but because Liu Hui deliberately alarmed the Zongren Temple, the matter could not be covered up. The whole court was shocked when they all knew about the absurd behavior of Liu Ling and the county lord of Huining. As a result, there were discussions about Liu Ling's intention to meddle in the government and deliberately murder King Xian's wife.

The emperor resisted the pressure of the government and the opposition to suppress the matter for two days, and hinted to a few cronies and courtiers that if Liu Hui was interested, he would stand up and excuse Liu Ling at this time, and he could use this name to save some reputation for her. However, Liu Hui closed the door of the house on the grounds that Hua Lian was pregnant at the beginning of the month and couldn't stand the noise and disturbance. Let these courtiers who want to be loyal to the emperor have empty ambitions but nowhere to vent.

In the evening of the next day, even Liu Shou, who had always been close to Liu Hui, came to visit, but he did not knock on Liu Hui's door. However, it is said that the fifth prince looked solemn when he came, but when he went back, his face was full of ease, and he did not have the slightest anger of being turned away, which inevitably made people think about it, so the discussion about the emperor's deliberate favoritism would make Princess Liu Ling so unscrupulous and cruel to her siblings became more and more fierce among the people.

The emperor saw that if he continued to suppress this matter, it was estimated that his image of being wise and martial in the hearts of the people would be affected, so he reprimanded the arrogant Liu Ling in front of the courtiers, and punished her for three years and grounded for one year.

Such a thunderous and rainy treatment made Liu Hui sneer. It turned out that he colluded with Qingfeng Village to blackmail, and almost killed Hua Lianyue's corpse and two lives, but it took three years to pay for it, and one year of grounding can compensate.

However, the county lord of Huining was not as lucky as Liu Ling, although her injured arms were temporarily saved after being diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor, she would still be disabled after all. Because the water bandits have always been secretly in contact with her, the emperor made her the main culprit in order to alleviate Liu Ling's crime. A holy decree robbed her of the title of county lord and imprisoned her in the Zongren Temple to practice to atone for her sins.

And when it was so noisy, the prince actually returned to Beijing. After learning of this for the first time, the prince scolded the already unlucky Liu Ling again in front of the Manchu civil and military forces and the emperor. And prepared many precious gifts and rare supplements, and sent them to the Xianwang Mansion to give Hua Lianyue a shock.

When the crown prince replaced the eldest princess who made a mistake, he apologized to the little prince's wife. This move saved his originally damaged reputation. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all lamented that the prince was fair and strict, did not show favoritism, did not bend the law, and was humble and generous. In contrast, after the accident, Liu Hui, who had been closing the door of the house and not seeing anyone, seemed to be much more petty.

However, the sharp-eyed courtiers found that the emperor did not express satisfaction with the prince's move, but his expression was indifferent, as if there was some kind of dissatisfaction and estrangement.

There was another incident that made Liu Hui extremely annoyed, he had secretly scattered a lot of manpower that day, but he still let the bandit leader escape. However, after this incident, the water bandits in Qingfeng Village also regarded the Xianwang Mansion as a refusal to come and go, and refused to accept business related to them again. It wasn't until more than twenty years later that they were completely wiped out by a small general named Shi, who led his men and horses.

Of course these are bad things. Liu Hui didn't tell Hua Lianyue. At this moment, he just wants her to be happy every day, and when the golden cinnamon is fragrant, she will give birth to a healthy child, and that is the most important thing.

After a few days of comfortable life, Hua Lianyue found that the maids who came out of the palace began to move again after knowing that she was pregnant. Probably because she was sure that she couldn't serve Liu Hui with a big belly, so she felt that she had a chance.

Those who sent soup to the study in the name of Hua Lianyue, those who lost their handkerchiefs and hairpins and found them on Liu Hui's bed, those who complained and stroked the qin outside the study in the middle of the night, and even those who wanted to break in while he was bathing to serve.

Liu Hui was so annoyed that he simply asked the guards to pack all these maids and throw them to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing. At that time, the whole palace was crying, according to the lively Qingying came back and said that those maids were unwilling to leave the palace, and did not dare to go to the prince to intercede, so they cried and worshiped the old housekeeper. In his excitement, he almost didn't tear off the old butler's pants. provoked the old butler, who had always been good-tempered, to be furious, so he sent these troublemakers out.

Hua Lianyue knew that Liu Hui seemed to be thunderous and angry, but he was actually well thought out. These maids staying in the palace will be a scourge after all, and the people who were sent by the queen before did not dare to dispose of them at will. And it happened that Liu Ling made such a scandal, Liu Hui chose to deal with these maids at this moment, presumably the queen who was also on the cusp, because she fell first, naturally it was not good to say anything.

When these maids arrive in Zhuangzi, they will no longer be concerned by the queen, and it will be much easier to operate in the future, whether they want to leave or marry someone else.

Of course, Hua Liyue doesn't care about these things, and now she is only hiding in the warm pavilion, changing different positions and rolling on the soft collapse. Because since she found out that she was pregnant, she has been very sleepy, and sometimes when she talks to Liu Hui, she can sit in a chair and take a nap with her eyes closed. Liu Hui naturally also gave an order, not to bother her with the affairs of the house, only to let her raise the fetus with peace of mind with her temperament.

At the end of the day, Liu Hui had something to do and left the house, and Ye Wushuang brought a plate of hot fried chestnuts with sugar to talk to her. Hua Liyue had just woken up and was bored counting the petals and playing, and was busy letting Qingying welcome her in. I saw her hands wrapped in thin sugar-coated hot fried chestnuts. Hua Lianyue's eyes couldn't help but light up, and said with a smile: "I was thinking about eating this, and it happened that you sent it." ”

Qingying served hot tea and said with a smile: "Madame's appetite is not very good these days, that is, Mrs. Wu can still eat two bites of what Mrs. Wu makes." ”

"That's good, it's not in vain that I put all this effort into it. Ye Wushuang smiled and sat down beside Hua Lianyue, took a chestnut and slowly peeled it, and handed the round and soft chestnut meat to Hua Lianyue.

Hua Lianyue ate a few before patting the crumbs on her hand and said with a smile: "It's going to be the New Year now, are you ready for the New Year's goods in your house?" If you lack anything, just tell me, and I'll ask the housekeeper to send it to you." ”

"There's nothing missing!" Ye Wushuang said with a smile: "The first two days have been almost done, let's have a total of three people, buy some food, and then buy a new set of clothes for each person." Yesterday, my master also brought back some dried fruits, no, I saw that the chestnuts were good, so I fried some for you to taste. ”

Hua Lianyue listened with a smile, and after eating two more chestnuts, she raised her eyes and saw that Ye Wushuang's crow was pressed into the bun with a brand-new gold-inlaid pearl gemstone beaded tassel. She couldn't help laughing and said, "I haven't seen you wear this step shake before, it must have been given by your master, right?"

Ye Wushuang's cheeks flew with two flushes, she subconsciously raised her hand to support the step on her head, and then smiled: "Madame is really careful, this hairpin was bought by the master in Yifang Pavilion yesterday." I said no, there are still many places to spend money at the moment, and there is no need to buy these extraneous things in such a hurry. But the old man didn't listen, and only said that he should dress up well for the New Year. ”

Hua Lianyue said sincerely: "Sister Ye, rest assured, you will definitely be blessed in the future." ”

Ye Wushuang's bright eyes suddenly dimmed, and he said with a little melancholy: "Now I don't want anything else, if I can also conceive a child and leave my dear blood to the master, it will really be complete." ”
