Chapter 42: My Sister.
In Baochun's era, pregnant women still had to go to work, and they would not take maternity leave until half a month before giving birth.
But here, limited to the conditions, giving birth to a child is a big difficulty, adults and children are easy to die for various reasons, so special attention is paid to pregnant women, food should be greatly nourished, but also not allowed to have any activities, for fear of bumping and bumping the child is gone, I can't wait to stay in bed every day to rest assured.
Baochun is a doctor, and his knowledge in this area is naturally more than others, and it is even worse if he doesn't exercise.
She is an idle person, after lying in bed for two days, she really can't lie down, Rong Zheng doesn't let her go to Guijitang, she can only work in the vegetable garden of the greenhouse.
The cucumber seedlings in the greenhouse are stretched out, and Baochun is using a rope to set up the cucumber seedlings.
The greenhouse area is not too large, but there are many varieties planted, such as beans, gourds, greens, watermelons, melons, corn, etc., as well as strawberries.
In the past few days, the strawberries have just ripened, and the little wine Shen Wu and they have to go in and eat enough before they come out after school from Xunyang Gongzi.
The old princess entered the greenhouse, and couldn't help but light up, just like walking into the summer, everywhere is green, a lot of vegetables and fruits that have not yet arrived in season outside are already full of fruits, and I saw my daughter-in-law not far away, who was stepping on the old high stool to tie the rope up, her heart almost didn't jump out, covering her chest, screaming, hurriedly stepped forward, and held the stool.
"My little ancestor, climbing so high is to scare my mother to death, the stool is unstable, what if I fall?"
"Mother?" Baochun saw the old princess holding the stool and hurriedly jumped down.
Seeing this, the old princess hurriedly threw away the stool and went to help, "Slow down, there are children here, but you can't jump around." ”
Bao Chun smiled, "It's not in the way, I'm a martial arts practitioner, I'm not so fragile, and I'm in good health." ”
The old princess glanced at her worriedly, "What's the matter, I have a tire gas and fainted, don't think I don't know." ”
Baochun coughed dryly, "It's not as strict as you think, it's just that I haven't rested for too long, I'm tired, and I've rested for a few days, it's not all right." "Stretch out your arms and legs.
"You said that the royal family is really messy enough, and you have to help clean up a mess of things, but fortunately, it's okay, what if something goes wrong, how can it be good, Rong Zheng's kid is too, and he doesn't know how to take care of you."
The old princess was in a state of fear, saying that she had lost some troublemakers, and she had lost her own dull son.
Baochun couldn't interject, so he could only change the topic, "Mother, the strawberries over there are ripe a lot, I'll pick some for you, it's sweet." ”
The old princess hurriedly said, "I'll come by myself, and you will stand." He took the bamboo basket in Baochun's hand, and said while picking it, "Don't be busy, if you don't worry about those boys, let your father come, anyway, he has nothing to do, he is idle, no matter how bad it is, there is Rong Zheng, what is there to do." ”
Baochun's mouth twitched, her mother's words were too ambiguous, so it was okay to call Rong Zheng, but she didn't dare to call the old prince.
After going out, Lan Xiang cleverly took the basket in the princess's hand, "The sun is good today, you sit outside first, and I'll bring it after washing." ”
Rong Zheng and the old princess were sitting drinking tea, talking about something, Xiaojiu was lying on his grandfather's lap, and when he saw his mother coming, he hurriedly pounced, hugged his mother's legs, and looked at his mother's stomach.
The old prince was very satisfied when he saw Baochun, and said in his heart that his son's daughter-in-law married really well, and he was born like a prosperous husband and a prosperous family. is going to add people to his Lao Rong family again, he can't even think about this scene in the past, he wants to be anxious with him in front of his children and grandchildren in the past, but now, he can't wait to show off when he sees someone.
Rong Zheng saw his father staring at his daughter-in-law and smiling like that, he couldn't help glaring at him, no need to guess, he knew what he was thinking, it was estimated that his mind was full of a large number of hopes for his grandchildren, yes, he just wanted to give birth to the second child, and he resolutely couldn't have another child.
Lan Xiang came over with a large plate of red and bright strawberries that had been washed, and Baochun dragged the bear son to the stool and sat down.
"Girl, you sit too." The old princess knew that her daughter-in-law treated Lan Xiang like her own sister, and she didn't treat her as an outsider, so she pulled someone to sit next to her and asked who was cooking, how to match the diet and other questions.
Asked this question, Lan Xiang subconsciously looked at her uncle, but his aunt picked up a strawberry and stuffed it into the young lady's mouth, and then picked up another one and stuffed it into Xiaojiu's mouth, but he didn't look at her, and said, "It's my ......."
The old princess couldn't help sighing when she saw her like this, thinking that she probably couldn't count on it, so she patted her hand, "I don't understand, it doesn't matter, I'll teach you, it's really not good, I'll ...... it myself."
Before the old princess finished speaking, Xiaojiu over there dismantled his father's platform, "You teach Aunt Lan, it's better to teach my father directly, he has made all the meals in the past few days." ”
The old prince and his wife both looked at their son.
Rong Zheng angrily gave his son a burst, "Can't stop your mouth while eating?" ”
Xiaojiu bit a strawberry and said vaguely, "The nest is four words and four words." ”
"I think you're just underwhelmed." Rong Zheng was huffing.
Everyone present couldn't help but laugh.
The old prince squeezed his son and slapped his son in the eye.
The old princess smiled and said, "What is there to hide here, who doesn't have a special preference." Seeing that his son's face couldn't hang up, he was busy playing a round game, but this time the more round it became, the more weird it became, Rong Zheng was about to throw off his sleeves and leave, it was so sad, the family was bullying him.
After Liu Jing came out of the prison, he entered the palace, first went to ask his father and the emperor to say goodbye, and then went to his mother's concubine.
The concubine saw that his eyes were full of worry and concern, and at this moment, Liu Jing suddenly understood that the concubine knew everything, although he had never told her.
The mother and son were relatively speechless for a while, and after a while, she asked, "Say hello to your father?" ”
Liu Jing nodded, followed his mother, and sat down opposite her.
After the palace maid served the refreshments, Liu Jing opened her mouth and asked, "What kind of person is Anping's mother?" ”
Concubine De put down the cup and sighed, "I haven't seen it either, I only know that after the emperor came back from the palace for a long time, he never stepped into the harem again, and I heard the rumors outside that the emperor was ready to abolish the queen's ......"
Liu Jing looked at her, "Is it because of Anping's mother?" ”
Concubine De said, "It's not all, I think Anping's mother just accelerated the occurrence of this incident, your father doesn't like the queen very much, and the marriage was forced by the Empress Dowager Deng Xiang to agree, because at that time, he was young and powerless to resist, the harem is actually an extension of the court, the queen dominates the harem, no one can mess with it, and even the emperor's words and deeds want to be controlled in his hands." ”
"That mother ......," Liu Jing said.
Concubine De said, "Your father is to check and balance the queen, check and balance the Deng family behind her to let me enter the palace, he has been vaguely elevating the Gu family to suppress the Deng family, the arrogance of the Deng family was slowly suppressed, your father thought it was enough to be free from them, but things are not so simple, your father's abandonment edict has not been issued, it was opposed by most of the officials, under the pressure of most of the officials and the queen mother, the queen was not abolished, not long after, there was news of Shen Duyun's marriage, on the day he got married, Your father was white-headed overnight......"
Liu Jing said, "At that time, she was already pregnant with Anping? ”
Concubine De nodded, "I think so, maybe Shen Duyun and her are not real husband and wife...... Soon after, she died, and few people have seen her, and they don't know where she came from, but it is said that she is heroic and uninhibited, and her knowledge is extraordinary, and she is amazing all over the world......," he sighed, "and only in this way can you make your father and emperor miss him for the rest of his life." ”
Liu Jing looked at his mother, hesitated and asked, "Then the mother ...... to the emperor?"
Concubine De took a cup of tea and said, "When I entered the palace, I fell silently in love with this man at the first sight of seeing your father when the hijab was lifted, Tsinghua is scorching, warm as jade, not to mention my husband...... At that time, your father rarely came to the harem, except for the queen and me, there were no other concubines in the harem, at that time I just thought that the emperor was not greedy for women, and was busy with court politics, but later I learned that he was not not greedy, but I was not the person he coveted. ”
Every time she sees her mother, she is not in a hurry, and she looks like she has no quarrel with the world, Liu Jing thought that her mother did not love her father, but she was forced to enter the palace, but she didn't want it to be like this, "My mother should have been very bitter for so many years, and my son is not considerate at all." ”
Concubine De smiled gently, "Mother is not bitter at all, in comparison, mother is still very happy, at least compared to the queen, loving someone is not only the way to get the same response from him." ”
Liu Jing couldn't help but look at his mother, not only this one, but also others?
Concubine De said, "Marriage is decided by the elders, when I saw your father and queen, I fell in love with him, but this is my unilateral matter, your father has no responsibility to fall in love with me, like it or not, love it or not, this is an inner touch, not controlled by people, why should I blame your father?" ”
"It's like you like Anping, it's not a sinful thing, it shows that your heart is attracted by a certain quality of her, this is a collision of hearts, it's a beautiful thing, you don't need to blame yourself, she is your sister, you have the same blood in your body, this is no one can stop it, can't give it up, family affection is sometimes much stronger than love, love will disappear over time, but family affection will not, as long as the blood of the body has not dried up......"
His mother's words shocked him and made him ponder, yes, she was his sister, and she was his sister until she died.
Concubine De said, "It can be seen that she has a close relationship with you, and she will sincerely help you in the future, when you were young, you often envied other people's brothers and sisters who loved each other, and now you have such a sister, you can love her unscrupulously, protect her, she will not let you down, make you sad, the mother concubine knows that she is different from others." ”
Liu Jing couldn't help but nodded.
