174 174: The Empress of the Ages (12)
Li Chen walked out of the palace gate, and the princess's carriage had already stepped forward.
Shu Zhi got down, lifted the curtain and asked, "Princess, are you going home?" ”
Li Chen shook his head, "Go to Princess Taiping's Mansion." ”
Princess Taiping has lived in Chang'an for a long time over the years, only occasionally staying in Luoyang, but since last month, Princess Taiping has taken her horse and several children to Luoyang. The Queen Mother said that Chang'an is far away from Luoyang after all, and as a mother, she hopes that her daughter can be by her side.
The Queen Mother said so, as smart as Princess Taiping, and she also knew in her heart that she had escaped for several years, and now she couldn't escape after all.
When Li Chen went to Princess Taiping's Mansion, she was playing with the two-year-old county lord. The little county lord looks like a pink carving, much like when Taiping was a child
Li Chen dislikes the bear child and is going crazy, but he doesn't dislike Princess Taiping's daughter. Wu Zetian also loves this only granddaughter very much, and when she was full moon, he had already named her the county lord of Wanquan.
Li Chen just went in, and Wan Quan, who was playing with A-Niang, had already stumbled over, hugging Li Chen's thighs, "Auntie, Auntie" screaming, very excited, and then unceremoniously put the harazi on the side of Aunt Yongchang's gorgeous long skirt.
If it was a few boys, Princess Yongchang would probably have frowned a long time ago, but now this little Wanquan who was held in the palm of everyone's hand, the princess saw that such a doll's heart had already been cute, and squatted down and touched her head with a smile, "Wanquan is good, my aunt has brought you a lot of delicious food, let the nurse take you to get it." ”
This little doll has eyebrows that look like peace, and the mother and daughter seem to be printed out of a mold. She walks stumbling, her speech is not so clear, she cries when she wants to cry, she laughs when she wants to laugh, and she is a carefree little life.
When Xiao Wanquan heard that there was something delicious, he smiled and looked up at his mother.
Taiping's eyes were full of pampering, and he instructed the maid next to him: "You take Wanquan down first." ”
The maid answered yes and left with Xia Wanquan in her arms.
Li Chen watched the maid and Xiao Wanquan leave, and said with a smile: "Sister A and Cousin Xue now have both children and daughters, and they can't be more happy." ”
Taiping smiled and complained, "These little guys are also making trouble. ”
As she spoke, she walked up the winding corridor with Li Chen.
Probably because the Queen Mother wants to show that she attaches importance to this daughter, Princess Taiping's princess mansion in Luoyang is very magnificent, compared to the low-key luxury of Princess Yongchang's mansion, Princess Taiping's mansion is a little more flamboyant. Pavilions and pavilions, everything, but also for each Xiao Langjun and Xiao Wanquan with the best residence, just the maids who serve Wanquan, there are more than ten or twenty people, front and back.
Taiping: "Why did you come to me today?" ”
Li Chen looked at the scenery outside the corridor as she walked, and was not surprised to see that there was a magnolia planted in the courtyard, her demeanor was a little careless, and her tone was very casual: "What did Sister say, can't Yongchang come to see you?" ”
Taiping Wan'er: "Don't talk nonsense with your eyes open, you just came out of the palace." ”
Mother likes bright clothes, especially Yongchang dresses luxuriously and brightly. As soon as Taiping looked at Li Chen's set of extravagant floor-length dresses, he knew that she had entered the palace to greet her mother.
Li Chen nodded, "Hmm." ”
Taiping thought that Li Chen would have a follow-up to say, but he waited for a long time and didn't wait. When I looked sideways, I found that Li Chenren around me was absent-minded, and his soul didn't know where to fly. It seems that she just came to Princess Taiping's Mansion to take a walk, take a look at Sister A, and then look at her little niece.
Taiping has been far away from Luoyang for several years, and now she has a very close relationship with Xue Shao, and she has children and daughters, and she no longer wants to pay attention to the troubles between her mother and brother. She can have such a day herself, and her heart is like a mirror, and she understands that Li Chen's contribution is there. Taiping has always cared for and loved this only sister, and never thought that one day, she would be protected by Ah Mei.
The sister who would play coquettish with her back then is now in her heart, and Taiping doesn't know what Li Chen is thinking now. The little princess who only played willfully with her parents and brothers and sisters back then is now really grown up, and the smile on the surface is actually indistinguishable from anger, Taiping feels that her sister is also the pride of the sky, and she shouldn't change so quickly and become so complicated, and she always feels that she hasn't taken care of herself.
But these feelings are not suitable for the people of the heavenly family from time to time, otherwise there are too many entanglements, and they will not be able to protect the person they want to protect the most.
Taiping felt that he had nothing else to ask for now, but hoped that in the great waves that his mother was about to set off, his beloved could be safe and sound. As for Li Chen, she has always had a lot of ghost ideas in her heart, and Song Jing is now the royal history Zhongcheng that her mother values very much, no matter what kind of storm her mother sets off, it will not affect Song Jing.
Speaking of which, Taiping has always been very puzzled, since his sister and Song Jing got married, they haven't even had children, and Song Jing is not in a hurry?
"Sister."
Li Chen's voice recalled the calm flying spirit, she came back to her senses and looked at Li Chen.
Li Chen bent his eyes wide, "What are you thinking?" I've called you several times. ”
"I saw that you like Wanquan very much, so I thought of you and Song Jing. Sister has a few words I want to tell you, do you want to hear it? ”
Li Chen pursed his lips, "I don't really want to." ”
"I saw that you liked Wanquan very much, so I thought of you and Song Jing. Sister has a few words I want to tell you, do you want to hear it? ”
Li Chen pursed his lips, "I don't really want to." ”
Taiping ignored Li Chen's refusal and said directly: "Sister, do you know what is the deepest bond between husband and wife? You are not young now, the last time I went into the palace to ask my mother to gossip about family life, my mother told me that Song Jing should also be a father, and I don't know what you think in your heart. ”
Li Chen laughed, "Guangping should indeed be a father, and I naturally understand this truth." But I seem to be born with my child, and I usually burn incense to worship the Buddha, but I can't do it, so it can be seen that not everyone can cross the Buddha. ”
Princess Yongchang said a few words, and pushed the fact that she had no children so far to the Buddha's blessing.
Taiping couldn't cry or laugh, this sister's ability to play tricks is good every year, but since she is a sister, she loves her sister in her heart, and she still has to say what she should say, "You don't talk nonsense, when I'm a fool." Did you do something to keep yourself from conceiving? ”
Li Chen replied very briskly, "No." ”
Taiping: "......"
Li Chen looked at Taiping, who was speechless, and smiled slightly, "Sister, these things are not useful because you are in a hurry. "Probably in the hearts of the ancients, the inheritance of bloodline is very important, so whether it is the mother or the sister who wants to be the emperor, they can't jump out of the thinking that it is a woman's duty to have children.
It's not wrong for them to think so, but Li Chen always has scruples about children in his heart.
Born in the emperor's family, there are always too many involuntary and too many open and secret battles. Who knows whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for multiple children to come out, but even if she has scruples, Li Chen has long not taken the medicine that Shu Zhi asked for her at the beginning, and her physique has basically been recuperated.
Li Chen followed Taiping into the room, sorted out his thoughts, and planned to talk to Sister A well, so that Sister Ah would worry less in the future, but before he could start to say the draft, his eyes suddenly darkened.
Her body shook, and she instinctively reached out and grabbed Taiping next to her.
Taiping turned around and was about to ask her something, but saw that Li Chen's whole person was almost planted on her, Taiping was shocked, and hurriedly opened his arms to hug her, but in the end they were all women, Taiping was pampered, Li Chen was taller than ordinary women, she pressed over, and Taiping almost fell to the ground with Li Chen.
Princess Yongchang fainted in Princess Taiping's mansion, which not only scared Princess Taiping to the point of discoloration, but also brought a whole evening of chickens and dogs to the princess's mansion.
Song Jing, the concubine who came out of the imperial history platform, hurriedly stepped into the mansion of Princess Taiping, and Princess Taiping's concubine Xue Shao greeted him.
Song Jing reluctantly suppressed the anxiety in his heart and bowed his hand to him: "Cousin Xue." ”
Li Chen has never liked to be polite in private, so whether she treats Song Jing's family or Song Jing's treatment of her brothers and sisters, she will be called according to her seniority in private. But Song Jing is sometimes restrained, and he will also call Taiping and others princesses. And now that he heard that Li Chen had fainted in the princess's mansion, he didn't care about the restrained etiquette for a while.
Probably because the horse was more anxious at this time, so he didn't notice that the expression on Xue Shao's face was not nervous, and he even smiled and said to Song Jing: "Guangping don't worry, Yongchang is fine, the imperial doctor is taking her pulse." ”
Song Jing answered absentmindedly, but his mind was spinning on Li Chen. His princess was born with a toss, occasionally a cold, but she could jump around after a two-day break. These days, she occasionally looks more unenergetic, can't sleep at night, can't wake up in the morning, can't sleep in the middle of the night will toss and turn, during the day crooked on the couch with a book will inadvertently fall asleep, in addition to these, I haven't seen her say anything uncomfortable, how could she suddenly faint?
The two sword eyebrows of the horse into the temples wrinkled into caterpillars, and he and Xue Shao only arrived outside the courtyard gate, when they heard a rather young man's voice say in an unhurried tone: "The princess doesn't have to worry, go back and prescribe a few medicines to the princess, as long as you don't hurt your mind too much these days, you can rest and recuperate." ”
That voice Song Jing is not unfamiliar, it is Shen Nanqiu, who is very trusted by the Queen Mother, who is polite and has a good appearance.
When Song Jing entered, Shen Nanqiu had already packed up the medicine box and was about to leave, Li Chen was half-leaning on the couch, his face was a little pale, his face was relaxed, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he felt that she seemed to be very happy at a glance.
Song Jing was stunned, would he be happy if he fainted?
However, before he could react, Shen Nanqiu had already left, and Princess Taiping and the others had already left the space to them very well, and only the young princess and the concubine were left in the originally lively space.
Li Chen leaned on the big pillow behind him and stretched out his hand towards Song Jing with a smile.
Song Jing walked over, held her hand, and then sat down next to the couch, "Good and dignified, how could you suddenly faint?" ”
Li Chen tilted his head, pursed his lips and smiled, "Can't you guess?" ”
Song Jing: "......"
In fact, Song Jing is not so stupid, if when he stepped into the princess's mansion, he ignored Xue Shao's words and deeds because he was full of concern for Li Chen, then when he arrived here, heard the advice of the imperial doctor, and saw that Taiping left the space to them so intimately, he had a rough idea in his heart.
Li Chen rarely saw his stunned appearance, and couldn't help laughing. His hand was wrapped in his palm, and the temperature of his palm was transmitted, as if it could reach the dark and cold corners of his heart.
Li Chen's hand held Song Jing's hand, and then took his hand and put it on his lower abdomen.
Song Jing looked down at the hand he had placed on Li Chen's lower abdomen, and then looked up at her with a dull expression.
Li Chen smiled at him, "Actually, Guangping should have reached the age of being a father. ”
Song Jing was silent for a while, and then suddenly withdrew his hand.
Li Chen was stunned for a moment, blinked, and intuitively thought that this reaction was wrong.
Song Jing had already stood up and walked around in front of Li Chen's couch a few times, feeling that his heart was about to explode into fireworks.
He's going to be a father?
His princess is pregnant with their flesh and bones?
The two have been married for several years, and Song Jing has not thought about what he will be like when he wants to be a father one day, but he thinks about it, probably because he and Li Chen have too many things to consider, and although he has thought about the child, everything is fate.
Now that he was suddenly told that he was going to be a father, Song Jing was a little confused at first, and then irrepressibly ecstatic, so he walked around the room a few times like a headless fly, and finally sat down next to the princess's couch.
Li Chen's index finger tapped on his lips, and his eyes looked at him with a little worry.
Such a reaction seems to be a bit crazy.
Song Jing met the princess's worried gaze, smiled self-deprecatingly, and then simply squeezed into the couch, and then hugged the princess into his arms.
Li Chen also followed him, and the whole person nestled in his arms very softly, with a little smile in his tone, "I don't look very happy when I look at the horse like this." ”
Song Jing rested his chin on the top of her head, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly, "Nonsense, I am naturally very happy in my heart." ”
Li Chen's face was pressed against the fabric on his chest, and with his head slightly tilted, he could hear his heartbeat, which was much faster than usual.
She has always felt that two people who have each other in their hearts, and many things don't need to be said. In the past few years, she and Song Jing may not be able to live and die together, but after so many days together, the tacit understanding and feelings that should have only increased, and now she snuggled in his arms, and suddenly felt that the boy who was like a mallet in the past had long been reborn and became a calm young man who was brave and resourceful.
When she didn't know she was pregnant, she still had some concerns about whether to have a child. When I found out, I felt happy in my heart, but I was also a little uneasy. But when she snuggled into this man's arms and listened to his heartbeat, the uneasiness and worries in her heart suddenly disappeared.
People are sometimes like this, when they have not yet faced it, they always think about it, once they are faced, they only need a look or a hug from the person they care about to change the uncertainty in their hearts.
She heard Song Jing's slightly hoarse voice sounding above her head: "Yongchang, in my heart, I am really very happy." ”
When Li Chen heard this, he smiled slightly, "Well, I am also very happy in my heart." ”
It's a real joy.
Princess Yongchang's pregnancy is a great joy, the queen mother in the palace learned about it, very happy, gave the princess a lot of tonics, all kinds of snacks sent out from the palace every day. When the princess went to ask the queen mother to say goodbye, she also asked the queen mother to give Li Jingye a chance to make meritorious contributions, and the queen mother was also thinking about it, but now when she heard the news that the princess was pregnant, she didn't think about it, so she simply agreed, so that the princess could rest assured.
is just one Li Jingye, even if he used to be relatively close to Li Xian and others, but now everything he has is given to him by Li Chen, without Li Chen, does he still have the ability to turn the world around?
The Queen Mother thought that even if Li Jingye had the ability to turn the sky upside down, it would depend on whether she was willing to turn it over for him, not to mention that he was not yet in the climate.
