Since then, the queen has no real name, and has become a waste person who can't even get out of her palace gate, and Chu Xue is still in the recovery period, and she still needs to recuperate.

Li Jiaoyun is a delicate person, knowing that Le'er was taken to Funing Palace, Chu Xue's mother and daughter haven't seen each other for some days, so she asked the Queen Mother for permission when she went to Funing Palace to ask for peace, and brought Le'er over.

On that day, Chu Xue supported herself to go to Fengyi Palace, although in terms of body, there was still a bit of adventure, but her weak appearance fell in Song Chen's eyes, but it was even more distressing, and her personal questioning also made Xu Jinhe have no room to turn around.

In any case, hitting Xu Jinhe to this point is already a big victory, and as for the rest, let's wait for her to take care of herself. Besides, with two apprentices of the miracle doctor by her side, it is not a problem for her to recover as before.

Just now she swallowed the bitter medicine, and she heard the laughter in the yard, the voices of the little girls were like silver bells, and her joy called her mother again and again.

She was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly asked the door to open.

Sure enough, I saw Li Jiaoyun come in with the two sisters Song Ning and Song Le.

"Mother!"

As soon as Xiao Le'er saw her mother, she opened her little hand and threw herself into her mother's arms.

Chu Xue, who was still on the couch, hugged the little guy into her arms, kissed her a few times before greeting Li Jiaoyun with a smile. Li Jiaoyun saluted her, and when she saw that the palace was full of close palace maids, she hurriedly stepped forward to care for her, and said, "We went back to the palace yesterday, and we only had time to come to see my sister this morning, don't blame my sister." ”

"Sister, where are you talking about this?" Chu Xue hurriedly said: "I'm like this now, the burden has all fallen on you, but I can't help it." ”

said that he was busy asking people to give Li Jiaoyun a seat to her mother.

The sisters began to talk closely.

Seeing that Le'er was making trouble with Chu Xue, Song Ning said seriously: "Sister, your mother is uncomfortable, you have to sit on the side obediently, you can't go to make trouble with your mother." ”

"Oh." Hearing her sister say this, Le'er hurriedly got down from her mother and sat down obediently by the bed.

Seeing Le'er listening to her sister's words like this, Chu Xue smiled and sighed to Li Jiaoyun, "Le'er, a rude little princess, only listens to Ning Ning's words in this palace. As he spoke, he looked at Song Ning again, and said in a harmonious voice: "In the future, Ning Ning will help her aunt teach her sister well, okay?" ”

Song Ning nodded seriously.

Li Jiaoyun asked Chu Xue, "Is my sister feeling better?" ”

"It's much better, I have Sister Lao to worry about." Chu Xue smiled slightly.

I heard Xiao Song Ning tilt his head and ask, "Auntie, I heard them say that you originally had a little brother in your belly, but now it's gone, is it true?" ”

Li Jiaoyun's face suddenly changed. She was worried that Song Ning's question would make Chu Xue sad, so she hurriedly said, "Ning Ning, where did you hear such words?" ”

Seeing that his mother suddenly became fierce, Song Ning was extremely aggrieved, blinked his eyes and pouted: "It's those palace maids who said it......"

Li Jiaoyun hurriedly apologized to Chu Xue, and said seriously: "Sister, don't be surprised, I will punish those who have broken mouths when I go back." ”

"Get out of the way, sister." Chu Xue smiled faintly, and persuaded her in turn, "Ning Ning is right, don't blame her." ”

Li Jiaoyun sighed softly and comforted her: "Sister, don't be sad, you are still young, the child will come back, the important thing now is to take care of your body first." The emperor favors you so much, and the rest is not a problem. ”

As soon as Li Jiaoyun returned to the palace yesterday, Yuzhu, who stayed in the palace to take care of the family, had already reported to her all the major events in the womb these days, including because of her miscarriage, Concubine Li was executed, and Xu Jinhe was taken away. Right.

As soon as such a thing happened, anyone inside and outside the palace could see how angry Song Chen was at Chu Xue's injury.

And this kind of comfort is not a treatment that everyone can have.

"Hmm." Chu Xue lowered her eyes and stroked her empty lower abdomen.

Things have come to this point, and there are some things she doesn't want to fight for, so the most important thing at the moment is to give birth to a prince as soon as possible.

Thinking of the heavy responsibility from now on, she doesn't feel tired. But maybe these things were already doomed the moment she met Song Chen. She is like Song Chen on the road to succession, she has no choice.

I haven't seen Le'er for a few days, Chu Xue thought about it tightly, although she shouldn't be tired, she still took the little girl into her arms and loved her well, the little girl also wanted to kiss her mother, and the scene of the mother and daughter kissing each other was really happy Song Ning, who was ignorant of the world. However, Li Jiaoyun saw it, but she didn't feel good in her heart, and when the mother and daughter separated slightly, she said softly, "Sister, thank you." ”

Chu Xue was stunned, raised her eyes to look at her, and when she saw the sincerity in Li Jiaoyun's eyes, she suddenly understood that many years ago, when there was only Li Jiaoyun as a side concubine in the palace, her life should have been even more difficult.

Chu Xue said softly, "Sister should have suffered more grievances in the past!" ”

Li Jiaoyun shook her head, and waited for the mist in her eyes to dissipate before she said: "It's all over, and now she has what she deserves, even if God has eyes." Let's live our lives from now on! ”

Chu Xue nodded, looked at the sunlight outside the window, and said, "We should live our lives well." However, she deserves more than that, there are many accounts, and she has not finished yet! ”

Li Jiaoyun followed her gaze and saw a plum tree in the yard outside the window, which was blooming red.

~~

A few days after Song Chen returned to the palace, it was the Shangyuan Festival.

Although unpleasant things happened in the harem, but in the previous dynasty, this year had an excellent start, the king drove his own expedition, and in one fell swoop the Beihu bag into the country, which can definitely be called a great joy, therefore, this year's Shangyuan Palace banquet should not only be held as usual, but also be more festive and lively.

Halfway through the unitary hour, night falls, and the delicate palace lamps hanging here everywhere in the palace gently sway with the night breeze.

The ministers in the Qingde Hall have arrived, and when everyone is in place and the music is playing, the king will come.

When the ministers have bowed three times and bowed nine times, and when they straighten up, they will inevitably have some surprises, unlike previous years, today I only saw the king next to the throne, only Concubine Rong and Concubine Ning, two beauties, compared with last year's scene of the crowd competing for beauty, it is inevitable that it is a little empty.

Well-informed people naturally understand the reason, Concubine Yi has not recovered from her miscarriage, Concubine Li died violently, the queen was banned, and Concubine Wan is still banned.

This obvious difference naturally stimulated a few people, compared with the rebelliousness of previous years, today's Pingnanhou can be described as extremely unhappy, the seat next to the king, originally belonged to his sister, that is the glory of their Xu family, but from now on, my sister is afraid that she will not be able to sit there again.

Nephew Song Chi is still just a teenager, and without a strong queen mother in the palace, can he safely wait until the time to succeed to the throne in the future?

There is also his father Xu Mao, who has experienced this winter, and his body and bones are even worse, I really don't know if he can wait until the winter of next year, according to the shape in front of him, if his father falls, he really doesn't know if he can inherit the title smoothly......

Raising his head and drinking a glass of spirits, Xu Jilin secretly decided that no matter what, Song Chi's position as the crown prince could not go on a business trip!

Because of the happy event in the country, the atmosphere in the banquet was very lively, Song Chen put down the wine glass, and said to Qin Mu, who was sitting not far away: "This expedition to the north, Nian Xiu has made a lot of contributions, even the head of Eke was personally brought to me in front of me, I made a promise in the camp, the person who slashed Eke will get a thousand taels of gold, and when Nian Xiu returns, I will order someone to personally send the bounty to the house." ”

Qin Mu hurriedly got up and said, "The minister thanked the emperor for the dog." ”

said that he was going to kneel and thank him, and Song Chen hurriedly excused him.

Thinking of something, Song Chen asked again: "When was Nian Xiu's marriage?" ”

Before Qin Mu could reply, Liangxi beside Song Chen hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, General Qin's marriage is on February 26, and there are still forty days. ”

At last year's celebration banquet, the Son of Heaven had personally instructed him, and Liangxi clearly knew the day.

Qin Mu echoed, "The good father-in-law is right. ”

Song Chen nodded, thought for a while, and said: "It is really difficult for him to go on two expeditions in a row before marriage, but Anxi can rest assured, it is estimated that in half a month, the handover will be completed in the north, and Nian Xiu will not miss the wedding this time." ”

Hearing the king's words, Qin Mu nodded yes, and Luo Shizhen on the side was also properly relieved. A few years ago, the prospective son-in-law was sent to the north, and her daughter Luo Shu didn't know how much she cared about it, and their parents were also worried, worried about Qin Yuan's safety, and worried that the delay in the war would delay the children's marriage again.

And Jun Wu joked, now that Song Chen is speaking like this, he must have received extremely reliable news, Luo Shizhen has a big stone in his heart, thinking that when the palace banquet is over, he will hurry home to comfort his wife and daughter who are waiting for Xin'er.

Because he was always worried about Chu Xue in his heart, as soon as the dinner party of an hour and a half was over, Song Chen hurriedly went to Yufu Palace.

After lying on the bed for a few days, Chu Xue's body has improved a lot, but because of the ferocity of the medicine brought by Concubine Li, even if she didn't drink it, she still had to lie down for a few more days to look weak. So although she really wanted to get out of bed and walk around, she still endured bed rest all the time.

Although tonight is Yuan Xi, Xu Jinhe's position is already in name only, and Song Chen will never set foot in Fengyi Palace again, so Song Chen will definitely come over, and she has been waiting patiently for him.

When Song Chen came in, he saw the picture of the beauty leaning on the head of the bed and reading quietly.

"What are you looking at?" He asked softly.

Chu Xue put down the book, waited for him to approach with a smile, and asked, "The emperor is back so soon?" ”

"Well," he sat down on the edge of the bed, took her into his arms, and sighed, "It's still warm on you." Then he picked up the book she had put down and asked, "What are you reading yet?" ”

"It's a piano score!" She replied softly, "It's been a while since Le'er is here, and the concubines have a lot of free time, so they will take out all the previous piano scores and flip them over, worrying that they will forget it after a long time." ”

He nodded and sighed, "It's been a long time since I've heard you play the piano." ”

She propped herself up and looked at him with a smile, and said, "When the concubine is well, I will definitely give the emperor a few strokes." ”

"It's a deal." He squeezed her hand, kissed it gently, remembered something again, and said, "Your body is not well yet, this year's fireworks, even if I owe it first, wait for next year, I will definitely make up for it." ”

Xu felt guilty because she was hurt this time, Chu Xue felt that since returning from the north, Song Chen had become more and more gentle to her, she leaned on his arms, smelled the light fragrance on his clothes and nodded lightly, and heard him say again: "We will have many children, I will never let others hurt you again." ”

At that moment, my heart tightened, and tears suddenly wanted to gush out again. She felt so guilty, for that kid, and for him.

But I'm sorry, she said in her heart, because I am not only Chu Xue, I am also Yue Wen, the daughter of the Yue family, I can't let it slip away lightly when I see an opportunity for revenge, otherwise, I really won't forgive myself.

I'll make it up to you.

She raised her head, kissed him gently, and then said: "The concubine must take care of her body and give birth to a few more children for the emperor, and the concubine will always accompany the emperor in this life, with the old white head." ”

He gently wiped away the tears that slipped out of the corners of her eyes, kissed her forehead again, and repeated her words tenderly.

"With the old white head, a word is a certainty."
