"This kid is coming at an inopportune time."

As soon as Chu Xue's words came out, the faces of the people in the hall were all surprised.

"Master, why do you say that?"

Yan Ling couldn't help but ask first.

Seeing that several people in the palace were puzzled, Chu Xue sighed lightly and explained: "Outsiders know that the emperor has been snubbing the palace for three months, and he has not met with the palace during this period, so where did this child come from?" ”

Yan Ling was silent.

Except for a few of them, no one knows the emperor's plan, and the night before parting, only the guards and personal eunuchs in Yufu Palace who are with the emperor know that these people have now gone to the north with the holy car, once the news of the master's pregnancy this time comes out, the one in Fengyi Palace will not give up, if she wants to slander the master, will outsiders believe the justification of the people around the master?

Only then did everyone figure this out, and then they heard Chu Xue say: "The emperor's plan is the first, if someone takes the opportunity to find fault at this time, can the palace defend itself?" ”

Yes, if Chu Xue defends, she has to tell what happened the night before parting, if she says it, will it hurt Song Chen's affairs?

One after another, the things that came because of this child were really headaches and tricky.

But since the child is here, no matter how headache and tricky it is, Ruyue thought for a while, and comforted: "Now the plan, the master can only temporarily avoid the eyes and ears of some idlers, the first three months of the figure is not visible, even if the back figure is visible, the master, you are slim, loose clothes to cover it, and people who do not wait close will not notice." Besides, there are many good news in northern Xinjiang, I believe that it won't be long before the emperor should come back. ”

Ruyue was right, Chu Xue sighed lightly, "I'm afraid there is no better way than this right now, and I can only do this." ”

The girls nodded, and Qiu Yan, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke: "Niangniang's worries are all because of concerns about the emperor's plans, and the slave feels that at present, in addition to avoiding people's eyes, you can let the emperor know about this." In this way, the emperor can know in his heart, and he will not be too surprised when he returns from the holy car to learn about it, and he will not let people with ulterior motives take advantage of the loophole; Second, let's also see how the emperor arranges his mother and the dragonborn in his womb. ”

Several people felt that what Qiu Yan said was very reasonable, and they all nodded in agreement, but Chu Xue was worried: "Of course, it is best to let the emperor know about this, but the northern frontier is far away, and the emperor is marching and fighting, how should the palace deliver the news and avoid others?" ”

This time Qiu Yan gave her a reassurance, he said: "Niangniang, don't worry, you just have to write letters, the slaves have their own way to pass it on," seeing Chu Xue's surprise, he explained: "The palace also exchanges letters with the front, and every six days, the Printing and Ribbon Supervision Committee sends letters to the front, and Niangniang's letters can be handed out together." ”

Qiu Yan said it so clearly, Chu Xue immediately put her mind at ease, quickly wrote a handwritten letter directly in front of several people, handed it to Qiu Yan to take away, and waited a few days later to send it to Song Chen day and night along with the political letter in the palace.

~~

Northern.

After a fierce battle, the victorious soldiers returned to the camp one after another.

After Song Chen explained the important matters to several deputy generals, after the account was cleared, he sat in front of the desk to review the political letter sent by the capital.

After concentrating on one copy, when he picked up the next one and read it clearly, the king was stunned, the handwriting on the cover was by no means from the minister's hand, but it made him very familiar, he hurriedly opened it to see, and the warmth suddenly flowed into the bottom of his heart.

Sure enough, she wrote it.

Xue'er said in the letter that since he left, their mother and daughter have been worried, and Le'er's mouth has become more and more clever, and she often asks her where her father has gone...... Reading word by word into his heart, he seemed to have returned to that warm place, in that Yufu Palace, there was a gentle and charming her, and there was a lively and lovely music......

The further he read, the deeper the corners of the king's lips hooked, and when he read the most important sentence, he was stunned, and then smiled deeper.

Liang Xi, who is the best at observing words and feelings, saw this, and quickly launched various speculations secretly, and before he could find a nod to continue, he heard the king himself smile gently: "Yufu Palace is happy." ”

Liangxi was stunned, Yufu Palace was happy?

What else can Yufu Palace enjoy? Thinking of the king's late-night visit to the beauty the night before departure, the chief eunuch immediately reacted, the so-called happy event in the king's mouth must be that Concubine Yi is pregnant with a dragon descendant again!

Liangxi hurriedly led a tent of waiters to kneel down and congratulate: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!" ”

Thinking of the new child, Song Chen smiled and said in a harmonious voice: "Flatten, there will be a reward for a while!" ”

There was another sound of gratitude in the tent, and when it quieted down a little, the king ordered someone to send Xiang Wei, the main general of the Yan army, and ordered: "Now that the vitality of Beihu has been greatly damaged, I will make persistent efforts to end this battle within two months, and pass the order to go down, and those who bring the head of the Hu leader Eke will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold!" ”

Xiang Wei was shocked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and gave a military salute, saying, "The minister obeys the order." Then he went out of the account and delivered the holy decree and military order to all levels.

After receiving the order, all the officers and men in the army immediately discussed and rubbed their hands, a thousand taels of gold, how much property is that! For an ordinary peasant soldier, this amount is enough for him to buy a large farm property after he returns to the field, marry a wife and have children, and his descendants will be rich for several lifetimes!

Seeing that the soldiers' confidence was doubled, General Xiang Wei was relieved and a little puzzled, why did this king suddenly feel so good, such a big stroke, the loss is the Son of Heaven, if it is an ordinary person, who will not be hurt once!

After finding a suitable vacancy, Xiang Wei quietly inquired with Liangxi, and finally understood the reason, it turned out that the reason why the king offered a large reward was because the beauty in the palace made him feel like an arrow.

Song Chen is indeed like an arrow, he now misses his Xue'er like never before, thinking of their joy and the budding little life in Xue'er's womb, he yearns for that warm place more and more, so he will resort to a method of spending a lot of money to inspire the soldiers' enthusiasm for combat. However, this is not a rash advance, because judging from the current battle situation, it is estimated that it will take less than two months to attack the Beihu capital. The annexation of this barbarian tribe was only a matter of a few dozen days.

But the joy passed, he also understood Xue'er's intention to write this letter, and now no one in the palace knows the truth that he "snubbed" her, this time Xue'er is pregnant, it is inevitable that it will not arouse suspicion, and he is now outside, it will take a while to return, and this is not the time for the truth to be revealed. In order to ensure the success of their mother and son, it is more appropriate for him to entrust them to one person.

Song Chen picked up the pen and wrote two letters.

Ten days later, the two letters returned to the capital along with the political letters, one of which was delivered to the Empress Dowager of Funing Palace, and the other was still quietly handed to Chu Xue as when it came.

The letter traveled thousands of miles quickly, it was late at night when it was delivered, the tent was quiet, Chu Xue carefully unfolded the letter, the vigorous and powerful handwriting came into view, Chu Xue seemed to see the man's upright figure again. Reading every word of the letter, my thoughts were immediately relieved a lot, and the emaciated face that had been tortured by pregnancy reactions also smiled.

He said that he would tell the Queen Mother the truth, that the Queen Mother would protect their mother and son, that she would raise the baby with peace of mind, and that he would return as soon as possible after his victory, and that he would no longer have any scruples and come back to see her every day as before......

Closing the letterhead, she was a little relieved, Song Chen spoke, the Queen Mother will protect her after knowing the truth, although the Queen Mother arranged for someone to enter the palace to share her favor, but at this time the child in her womb is the best talisman, as the imperial grandmother, the Queen Mother will always protect their mother and son.

However, after lying back on the couch, looking at the curtain in front of her, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and the sudden thought that appeared a few days ago flashed, which made her a little disturbed, and her heart struggled for a long time, and in the increasingly silent and cold night, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Sure enough, on the second day after receiving Song Chen's handwritten letter, the care of Funing Palace came with Le'er who returned to ask for peace.

The Queen Mother was a little suspicious before, she didn't believe that her son would be angry with Chu Xue because of the more arrogant Xu family, and even "pampered" the concubine Li from a foreign country. As a mother, her son knows very well that Song Chen will never do such frivolous things.

It's a pity that the authorities are fascinated, but Xu Shi is unaware, and still thinks that with the past exploits of Pei Guogong, he can be arrogant enough to ignore the etiquette of the monarch and ministers.

The Queen Mother sighed secretly in her heart, hoping that after her son took Beihu and gradually weakened the military power of the Xu family, the other party would be able to restrain herself, otherwise if it continued, Xu Jinhe's position as queen would not be affected.

At this time, knowing the truth and knowing that Chu Xue was pregnant with a child in her womb, the Queen Mother naturally wanted to protect her and take care of her, so she immediately sent Ning Yuan to quietly go over to comfort Chu Xue in the name of escorting Le'er, and ordered the internal official supervisor and the food supervisor to be there, for fear that they would neglect Yufu Palace because Chu Xue was "snubbed".

In fact, the Queen Mother is too worried about this, Chu Xue's diet has always been Ruyue personally supervised, and Wang Jin, the current head of the internal official supervisor, was promoted by Chu Xue, and it can be said that Chu Xue is a person. He didn't have time to repay his kindness, so how could he be lazy?

Because the Queen Mother sent Ning Yuan to condole, Chu Xue, as a junior, now needs to rely on the Queen Mother for a period of time, so the next day, she came to the door in person and went to Funing Palace to thank her.

Since she was pregnant, her body reacted violently, in order to avoid showing something strange in front of others, she hid in her palace on the grounds of physical discomfort to avoid purity, and the early invitation of the two palaces of Funing Fengyi has not been gone for a long time, because she is a concubine and is unwell, and the two palaces have not been investigated.

The Queen Mother hadn't seen her for a few days, and when she saw her with a significant reduction in body shape and face, she was suddenly surprised, and hurriedly said: "What's wrong, why did you lose so much weight all of a sudden?" Can you call the imperial doctor to see it? ”

There were no miscellaneous people in the palace, so Chu Xue replied truthfully: "Back to the Queen Mother, this child is more tormented than Le'er, compared to the last time she was pregnant, the reaction is to be stricter, the concubine has been passed on to the imperial doctor, and she has also drunk fetal medicine, please rest assured." ”

She has always been a likable in the eyes of her elders, and now she is pregnant, the Queen Mother patted her hand, and her words also revealed love, and said: "In this way, then it will be hard for you, and when the emperor comes back, the mourning family will let the emperor reward you." ”

She smiled and lowered her eyes, bowed her head and said yes.

After a few words of greeting, afraid of encountering idle people, Chu Xue retreated, and the Queen Mother agreed and told her to rest.

Although I deliberately chose a time when there were few people, I didn't expect to see people I didn't want to see on the way back to Yufu Palace. Xu Jinhe's loyal servant Qiu Gui walked along the road and met her sedan chair.

"The slave and maid greet the concubine."

Qiu Gui saw clearly that it was her sedan chair, and deliberately waited on the side early to salute her, so that she had to stop for a while.

This was actually specially prepared by Qiu Gui, I hadn't seen her for a long time, and I saw her saying that she was sick and on leave, Xu Jinhe wanted to know if her illness was true or false.

"Let's be flat."

Chu Xue didn't want to waste time with her, so she simply left a sentence and motioned for the sedan chair to move on.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew the curtain on her window, and the curtain opened a corner slightly, revealing her emaciated face.

Qiu Gui saw it clearly, and had a number in his heart, and when the sedan chair was far away, he immediately hurried back to Fengyi Palace.
