Chapter 353: The Night of the Cold Palace
cpa300_4();β I want to meet, Xu Jieyu's child. β
As soon as these words came out, he and Chang Qing were stunned for a moment, and when the concubines around heard it, they all exploded-
"How can this work, she is such a poisonous woman!"
"That's right, Xu Jieyu was killed by her, and now she still has to watch the child......"
"Beware of children who are frightened when they see people like this. β
In the palace these days, I have already learned to automatically omit these words, but he frowned and said coldly: "Go down." β
Concubines, you look at me, I look at you, there is a little strange in your eyes, but you didn't say anything, after coming up to salute him and Chang Qing, they all retreated silently, I stood with my back to them, smelling the bursts of fat powder fragrance slowly drifting away, and there was only coldness left around.
Pei Yuanhao turned his head to look at Chang Qing: "Go see the eldest prince." β
It wasn't until this time that I knew that Xu Youling gave birth to a son.
I can't help but think of what she said when I was still a palace maid next to her, when we talked about whether she would give birth to a boy or a girl in the future, the woman who was so weak that she couldn't even protect herself, in order not to delay the child's future, and in order to give the child a peaceful life, she would rather wish to give birth to a daughter, but now, she gave birth to the first prince of the Celestial Empire, Pei Yuanhao's first biological flesh and blood, but she can no longer see how her child will finish this doomed and bumpy life.
What about me, my children?
I subconsciously stretched out my hand, and the long sleeves covered my lower abdomen - this child had not even had time to be born, and he had already reached Bliss, did he only need to hurt once, but he could avoid the pain of a lifetime?
At this time, we have walked outside the conservatory, Chang Qing walked in with me, as soon as I entered the door, I felt that the earth dragon inside was burning very hot, and the warm air was filled with a *, and the palace maid inside hurriedly came out to salute the emperor and empress.
As soon as I turned my head, I saw a slightly squirming swaddling baby on the large bed in the inner room.
I watched in a trance, and subconsciously walked over slowly, Chang Qing seemed to want to keep up, but at this time, Pei Yuanhao had already come over, she thought about it, or stayed outside, and asked softly about the nurse's child.
It wasn't until I walked to the bed that I could see clearly.
Red and crumpled, like a skinned kitten, with two long eyeliners closed, a small nose red and a small mouth underneath.
Is this -- her child?
At this moment, there was an indescribable sour feeling welling up in my heart, but also in my heart full of love, I gently leaned down to look at him.
The child seemed to feel something, let out a trembling whimper, I thought he was going to cry, and subconsciously wanted to reach out and hug him, but the child frowned and slowly opened his eyes.
It was a pair of dark eyes, as if it was the deepest night, but the sun came in, and I could see the brightest light reflected in it, there was an indescribable thorough feeling, he was obviously just a child who didn't understand anything, but that glance gave people the feeling that even the soul was seen through in front of his eyes.
I looked at him in a daze, and at this time, the child looked at me above his head in a daze, and suddenly cracked his mouth.
He...... Laughed?
I was so shocked that I couldn't speak for a while, and Pei Yuanhao on the side was slightly taken aback when he saw it, looked at the child, and then looked at me.
Who does this child look like? Xu Youling? I can't see it now, but looking at the shape of the child's eyebrows and the slightly raised eyes at the corners of his long eyes, it seems to be ...... Like this man next to him.
It's his children, like him, of course.
If my child hadn't died and could have been born smoothly, would it be the same? The beautiful eyebrows, the long, slightly raised eyes, the red nose, and the watery mouth, would they all look like him? Could it be a little bit like me?
I couldn't help but look at him, only to see that he was looking at me too.
The devouring aura of the moment was gone, and my face was no longer just frozen, but my eyes were getting hotter and hotter, as if I was about to shed tears in the next moment.
I slowly straightened up and greeted him: "Minister-slave and maid retire." β
After speaking, he didn't look at him anymore and turned around and walked out, and when he walked past Chang Qing's side, he also blessed her, she only nodded, and didn't say a word, but the father-in-law standing at the door probably didn't understand it, and his tone eased a little when he came to greet me.
When I walked out the door, the warmth in the room receded, and a chill hit.
I stood in the doorway and looked up at the sky above me - it was already spring.......
Spring was supposed to be just a light rain, but when we arrived at the cold palace, it was raining heavily, and a silvery gray rain curtain obscured everything, and we could only see the gray high walls and the gray houses inside.
The rain fell on the ground, stirring up the slight fishy smell of dirt and rushing to the nose.
Actually, this taste is more like me than the taste of fat powder, but at this time it just makes people more wolf-bΓ¨i, I held the umbrella halfway to the road, my body was already soaked, and the burden in my hand was completely wet, Shui Xiu hurriedly wanted to hold an umbrella for me, and said: "Talent, things are still slaves to get them." β
I frowned and didn't bother to look at her: "Which eye do you have to see a talented person here?"
"Uh......"
She was stunned, Mama Wu had already come up and patted her: "Still screaming, if others hear it, it's another incident." β
"Oh. She stuck out her tongue, and still came up to grab the burden from my hand, and said, "Then, girl, the slave will help you get this." β
I glanced at her helplessly, then looked at Mama Wu, and didn't say anything, just stretched out my hand to hold her with an umbrella: "Come here." β
I know what happened to me, the most uncomfortable thing was her, and I also let Mama Wu scold her for a while, but looking at the way I look now, she is still very guilty, and I also know that that feeling will be a long scar if it is not slowly healed by time and people's hearts, so I didn't say anything anymore, and a few people walked towards the courtyard in the cold palace with some wolves.
As soon as I walked some distance from the yard, I saw a person standing faintly in front of me.
I took a closer look, and it turned out to be Mama Qian!
"Mama Qian?" I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly walked over, sure enough, she was standing there with an umbrella, with an angry expression on her face, looking at me, she seemed to be a little distressed: "You are really, thinking about me." β
I didn't know what to say, so I could only smile.
Mama Qian's gaze moved to my back again, and her eyebrows raised: "Yo, I'm not dead yet." β
"You're not dead, how can I be willing to die?"
When I looked back, it was Mama Wu, two people standing in the rain like pins and thimbles, showing no weakness.
In fact, when Mama Wu boiled rice soup for me before, I also vaguely felt that she should have been the person next to Queen Zhaolie, and now seeing her and Mama Qian like this, I am even more sure, but the appearance of two people like old children makes people a little unbearable.
Shui Xiu said anxiously: "Let's let the girl go in first, it's still raining!"
The two of them came back to their senses and hurried inside.
The house was ordered by the inner supervisor, and it was only cleaned slightly, and there was a faint musty smell, Shui Xiu frowned as soon as he entered: "This place, how can you live in it." β
Mama Qian was not happy when she heard it: "You can't live, what kind of person are you, concubine?"
Shui Xiu was choked back by her words and pouted.
I smiled faintly, when I lived here in the past, I was used to talking like this to Mama Qian, but I was afraid that Shui Xiu would have to be impatient for a while, so I took my burden from her: "Okay, go see your own house." β
This time, I was demoted to the cold palace, and I have already cut off the title of a talented person, I am an ordinary palace maid, and there will be no one to serve; Shui Xiu is a guilty body, and I originally played a few boards, but because of the drag of this incident, I was also put in the cold palace; Xiaoyu, I didn't let her follow, but Wu Mama herself went to the queen to ask for guilt, saying that she was an old man in the palace, but she failed to advise the master to be cautious in his words and deeds to do such a bad thing, and invited herself to the cold palace.
Although they came together, they were just like me and had their own place to live.
Shui Xiu said: "Don't, the slave maid should help the girl clean up first." β
"You-"
I frowned, stepped forward and wanted to say something, but suddenly I almost fell down with a strong dizziness, and Mama Wu hurriedly helped me: "Girl, what's wrong with you?"
As soon as Mama Qian squeezed my hand, she said, "Ouch, it's as cold as ice." β
"She's not in good health, but I'm just afraid of it this timeβ"
I also knew that I had fallen ill after the miscarriage, and I should have recuperated well, but I ran into Xu Youling's incident, I was called for questioning at night, and I stayed up all night, and it was raining just now, so it's strange if I wasn't sick.
They helped me undress, wiped my body and hair and went to bed to rest, Shui Xiu also cleaned up the house for me, I said coyly: "Let's go back first." You're crackling like this, how can I sleep?"
Mama Wu and Mama Qian pulled her out.
Said tired, but also really tired, these days such exhausting to survive, than in the Yangzhou fire to go to the water is more painful, I still have a cluster of fire in my heart has not been extinguished, that is, the famous brand is still in Shen Rou's hands, that is not only my life in her hands, if it starts, what kind of catastrophe will it be?
I trembled slightly, my face was feverish, and my brain was a little dizzy.
The rain was still falling outside, and I curled up under the covers and fell asleep shivering.
When I woke up, the sound of ticking water sounded in my ears, and when I listened carefully, the rain had stopped, and it was the water on the eaves dripping on the bluestone slabs, making a crisp sound.
Turning his head to look out the window, it was dark and it was night.
There was still some soreness in my body, and my breath was hot, and I knew that I had a fever, and I still had an ice handkerchief on my forehead, but my mouth was dry as if it was about to burn.
I sat up with difficulty, leaned on the head of the bed and gasped for a long time, leaned against the wall and reluctantly walked to the table, and was about to pour water to drink, but I saw a beautiful moonlight outside, and the moonlight shone like water in the courtyard, silver and moist.
There were also two people in the courtyard - Mama Wu and Mama Qian.
Since they have all been with Queen Zhaolie, they are also sisters who have a close relationship, and they should have a lot to say.
I took a sip of tea, moistened my mouth a little, and was just about to go back to bed to continue sleeping, when I heard Mama Wu's voice coming from outside-
"You tell me honestly, did the queen give birth to that child at the beginning?"
