48. Defend yourself

The little maid who went to report the good news had only gone out for half a cup of tea, and before the doctor from Danwei Yuan left, Song Chen hurried over.

He rushed over so quickly, and the joy in his heart was self-evident, and he even waived everyone's courtesy, and couldn't wait to look at his Xue'er.

When Chu Xue saw him coming, she smiled gently and contentedly, her face was flushed with her, Song Chen's heart was sweet, and she hurriedly asked the house doctor, "Can you see clearly, how is Mrs. Xue's health?" ”

The house doctor knew that the prince was happy and anxious, and wanted to wait for him to confirm again, so he hurriedly replied: "Back to the prince, Mrs. is indeed happy, and Mrs. is not in serious trouble, but because it is the first child, I should ask the girls around me to pay more attention and serve carefully." ”

Concubine Jing asked Ji Yuan to write a diet supplement recipe a few days ago that it was really useful, and in just a few dozen days, Chu Xue's deficit was almost made up, plus she was young, and now her body is indeed very good.

Hearing the good news with his own ears, Song Chen was finally down-to-earth and satisfied, and the joy in his heart naturally hung on his face, and he smiled: "Good, good!" There is a reward, everyone present today has a reward, and the king should have a good appreciation of the evening begonia garden. ”

Now it was really obvious that he was happy, and everyone present thanked him, and their faces were dyed with joy.

But what is the taste behind this joy, only everyone knows it themselves.

Xia Wanyin went crazy with jealousy.

She was also favored, but for three years, there was no movement in her stomach, she used all kinds of home remedies, and even the tonic soup sent from the kitchen was always sincerely drunk, but God refused to favor her. Later, Chu Xue entered the house, took her position as a newcomer, and took away all her favor, she hated her so much, but when she saw that Chu Xue was not pregnant for a long time, she was a little happier when she saw that Chu Xue was not pregnant, fortunately, they still have one thing in common, she hopes that Chu Xue will never be able to conceive a child.

But today, she saw it with her own eyes and heard such a news that broke her with her own ears, Chu Xue was also pregnant with a child, and now in the palace, she is the only one who has no children, is there really anything wrong with herself?

Xia Wanyin was jealous and hurt, Xu Jinhe, who was even more stimulated, was about to go crazy, she didn't understand why this woman was so lucky every time, every time she had the opportunity to escape the game she had carefully arranged, she had just found a little possibility to bring down her and the Chu family, and she was pregnant! That dog slave Liao Zhong, there must be something wrong with his medical skills, otherwise he would not take it lightly, so Chu Xue picked up the leak again.

It's one thing to make her unable to conceive, but it's a lot more troublesome to get pregnant and get rid of it! What's more, now that he has come to the capital, there is a concubine Jing who has a lot of good feelings for Chu Xue recently, and even the people under the government doctor are not so easy to control, it is indeed very difficult to make Chu Xue's stomach go wrong unconsciously.

Also, first Song Ning's body slowly improved, and now Chu Xue is happy again, Liao Zhong's dog slave is really not very good, and he will definitely clean up when he has time one day.

Xu Jinhe was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard Song Chen instruct the house doctor, "Go back and write a list, what pregnant women should eat and what they should not eat, you tell Wantang Garden, you have to worry a lot about this matter." ”

"Yes."

Xu Jinhe sneered, it's not the first time to be a father, why is he so happy? It's because it's the woman who got pregnant this time!

The house doctor retreated, the room was cleaner, Li Jiaoyun teased Song Ning, "Ning Ning, you are going to be a sister, go and congratulate your father." ”

Song Ning was a little puzzled, blinked and looked at Song Chen, Song Chen hugged her, pointed to Chu Xue's lower abdomen, and said, "Aunt has a baby here, Ning Ning is going to be a sister, are you happy?" ”

"Well," Song Ning finally understood, clapped his hands and smiled: "Ning Ning likes babies, Ning Ning likes to be a sister." ”

Song Chen's doting kiss on the little girl's head, and looked at Chu Xue with a smile.

Chu Xue pursed her lips and smiled, gentle and gentle, but also a little shy.

Eye-to-eye with Song Chen on her own territory, Xu Jinhe was furious, she just wanted to make this slut disappear as soon as possible, she showed a virtuous demeanor and reminded Song Chen, "Lord, my sister is pregnant, she must be tired, why don't you let your sister go back to rest first?" ”

Song Chen then remembered that he had instructed for a long time, but he hadn't spoken to his Xue'er yet, so he nodded and said, "What the princess said is that it's not too early, let's go back and rest first." ”

Although Chu Xue was happy, she didn't forget that there was still a Mama Zheng in the house, this was a very important person, and she must not let her fall into the hands of Xu Jinhe again.

She turned her head to look at Xu Jinhe, "Since the princess brought Mama Zheng here, the concubine is better to obey her fate than to be respectful, thank you princess, the concubine will bring her over now." ”

What Xu Jinhe just said was the person who brought it over for Chu Xue, but now in front of everyone and Song Chen is there, she can't refuse, so she has to pretend to laugh.

Everyone retired one after another and went back to their courtyards.

~~

Closing the door, there were only two people in the room, Song Chen picked up Chu Xue and gently put her on the bed.

She knew that he was careful with her, so she didn't say anything, letting him hold herself in her arms and smile with satisfaction.

He asked softly, "Why didn't you sue me?" ”

She explained softly, "I don't know the concubine, I just feel tired lately, and the monthly letter is a few days late, so I just think I'm tired." ”

He also understood that this was the truth, the girl was a mother for the first time, so naturally she had no experience, otherwise if she knew, how could she let herself touch her a few nights ago?

He stroked her lower abdomen and sighed: "This kid has a big shelf, and this king has worked hard for so long before he is willing to come, which is really satisfying." ”

Chu Xue burst out laughing and quipped: "It's not the first time that the prince has a child, why does he seem to be happier than a concubine?" ”

His voice was soft, but full of seriousness, "You gave birth to me, of course I'm happy!" ”

He lowered his head to look at her, only to see her look back with a pair of watery eyes, full of satisfaction and sweetness, and he couldn't help but lean over to pity.

After being entangled softly for a while, there was a change in his body, she noticed it, and blushed to refuse, "Lord, the concubine is just pregnant now, and she can't ......"

"I know." He responded in a dumb voice, "It's just a habitual reaction, don't be afraid, it'll be fine in a while." ”

She nodded slightly, and moved back, allowing for a slight distance between the two.

He didn't stop him, he calmed down for a while, and sighed, "The little guy is here, it's a joy and a headache, and I'm a little unaccustomed to seeing the elements for a few months." ”

Chu Xue then remembered that she was pregnant, and she couldn't serve him in the first few months, even if she could serve in the middle, after all, if he was there, he wouldn't be able to enjoy it.

He is in the prime of life, will he go to someone else......

But he said that the elements were on the last few months, as if to deny this possibility, did he want to defend himself?

She was suddenly pleasantly surprised, but she was still a little suspicious, she said tentatively: "The concubine can't serve the prince, and there are several other sisters, the prince can go to other courtyards to move around." ”

He looked at her sideways, and suddenly felt funny, so he laughed, "Oh? Is Cher really so generous? Then the king is respectful and obedient, and from now on, go to others more? ”

She lowered her eyes, knowing that he was joking, but she bit her lip and didn't speak.

He knew that she was jealous, so he hugged her again, but he said coldly, "Don't believe me? Still tempting me? ”

The person in his arms suddenly opened his hand and hugged him tightly, and said aggrievedly: "It's not that the concubine doesn't believe in the prince, but she doesn't dare to hope for it...... I like the prince to be good to me. ”

There seemed to be crying in her voice, as if she had really wronged her, Song Chen suddenly felt guilty and hurriedly coaxed her, "Don't think nonsense, take care of the fetus, give birth to the child well, and when you are well, we are still the same as before, do you know?" ”

"Hmm." She nodded, literally in tears.

~~~

After King Ning's accident, Emperor Jianhe's health seemed to be getting worse and worse, every time Song Chen went to visit, he only felt that the smell of medicine on his father's body was getting heavier and heavier, but his complexion was getting worse and worse, and the trusted imperial doctor reported to him in private, saying that he was afraid that Emperor Jianhe would not be able to survive today's harsh winter, and Song Chen's heart was cold.

Although there are reasons why the rebellion of the abolished prince was persecuted by him, you must know that under that kind of form, if the other party does not die, he will have to die, so he is actually forced to be helpless. As for King Rui and King Ning, it was purely their own sin, and he spared their lives, which was already the greatest filial piety to his father.

So at the moment, he can't help his father's illness, so he can only do his best to make his father's last days happier.

As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passes, there is an important day next, which is the birthday of Emperor Jianhe in early September. Thinking that since it might be the last birthday of his father, Song Chen had the heart to do it well, and when he was busy with the important things at hand, he went into the palace to ask for the will of Emperor Jianhe, and summoned the three brothers of King Huai, King Shen, and King Li to return to Beijing to pay tribute to his father's birthday. Emperor Jianhe also had a vague premonition about his body, and didn't say anything else, just let him make his own decisions.

After meeting his father, Song Chen went to Funing Palace, Chu Xue had happy news, he wanted to inform his mother in person, so that her mother would be happy.

In the warm pavilion, Concubine Jing is squinting to study a chess game, recently Emperor Jianhe is weak and can't move around often, she often accompanies a few games to relieve boredom, the first thirty years her husband is busy with political affairs, rarely has time to accompany her, so when she was young, she didn't play with the chessboard much. Now that she has to play often, she realized that playing chess with him is not a simple thing, neither too much of his brain, but also not too shallow, so whenever she has time, she takes this chess game to study.

Hearing Song Chen come in, Concubine Jing put down the chess game and said gently: "Why did you have time to come over today?" ”

Song Chen saluted, sat down opposite his mother, and replied: "Today, I came to receive an edict from my father and the emperor to discuss the return of the kings to Beijing on my father's birthday next month." ”

Concubine Jing nodded and ordered someone to serve him warm tea.

Song Chen looked at his mother, thinking of his father's illness, he waved his hand to clear the palace people, and said to his mother: "The imperial doctor reports to his son, my father's illness...... It's probably not going to be this winter. ”

Concubine Jing was stunned, raised her eyes to look at her son, looked at the worry and unbearability in her son's handsome eyes, was silent for a while, and said, "Got it." ”

What a cruel thing fate is, the day when her son will reach the top is coming, but her husband wants to leave her. But the jade color was cultivated and sold to the emperor's family. From the moment she stepped into the palace gate, wasn't such a fate already doomed?

Besides, she is still the winner in this deep palace, compared to Queen Chen and others, she doesn't know how many times stronger, she at least has her son to rely on.

Song Chen knew that his mother was uncomfortable, but he couldn't think of words of comfort for a while, and he was in a dilemma, but he saw that his mother smiled at him, "Don't worry, your mother is very good, you won, and your mother has not been in vain for more than 30 years." ”

Song Chen nodded, the mother and son drank tea, and Concubine Jing asked again: "Come here today, just for this?" ”

He smiled and said busily: "No, the son has a happy event to report to his mother." ”

"Oh?" There was expectation in Concubine Jing's eyes.

"Cher...... Chu's is pregnant. His eyes were full of joy.

Hearing this, Concubine Jing really laughed, she nodded, "That's good, that's good." Go back to the palace and reward her with something, you can bring it back. ”

Of the four children in King Heng's mansion, only Song Chi was born in the capital, and he went to Yanzhou with them more than a year after he was born, so although Concubine Jing has four grandchildren, none of them grew up in front of her, and now Chu Xue's baby is just in time, she can be a good grandmother, and watch this little imperial grandson grow up day by day.

Song Chen saw his mother smiling, and finally felt a little relieved, and he said in a harmonious voice: "Let the Chu family enter the palace another day to thank you." ”

"That's it." Concubine Jing waved her hand, "What kind of courtesy do you have to let her take care of the fetus, don't be tired of running around, there will be opportunities to enter the palace in the future." ”

After saying something, Jing Guifei coughed lightly and advised: "Chu's is the first child, naturally you have to be delicate, you have to care for it often, don't be cold, and ......" Jing Guifei has a deep meaning, "She is favored, it is inevitable that people will be jealous, you have to pay more attention, there are many people in the backyard, for the sake of the unborn child, you must take precautions." ”

Song Chen paused, nodded and said, "Yes, Erchen knows." ”

On the way back to the house, Song Chen kept thinking about his mother's last advice, he remembered that many years ago, when he was still a young child, his mother was pregnant, and told him to give birth to a sister, he was very happy, and shouted his sister around his mother's belly all day long, sincerely looking forward to his sister's birth. But suddenly one day, his mother was lying on the bed weakly, and her bulging belly was gone, and then the palace people told him that the sister in the mother's womb was gone, and he didn't know what it meant, but he saw the heartbroken face of the mother......

With his fists clenched, he warned himself that he must not let his woman repeat the mistakes of the past.
