(xxxii) Mingzhu is pregnant
In the palace of the prince of Cheongla Kingdom
The crown princess Nangong Mingzhu sat in front of the dressing table, looked at the man in the bronze mirror, and said angrily: "Chao, the imperial history just impeached you yesterday, even if the father and queen mother are not to blame, you should be more restrained, in the future, let the next person do the thing of combing my hair." ”
At this time, the crown prince Wan Yanchao was holding a comb of cow bones in his hand, and he was cherishing his beloved wife's long hair, which was the most common thing he did since marrying his wife, and it was also one of his biggest hobbies.
Hearing his beloved wife say this, the prince said indifferently: "Ignore him, those old boys who are full of benevolence and morality, on the surface, pretend to be like saints, in fact, which one is not three wives and four concubines, full of male thieves and prostitutes, for husbands, they only comb their daughters-in-law's hair, they will nagging and admonishing, and impeachment, as if they are clean, if they provoke me, catch Ming'er to shake out their dirty things, let everyone see their true faces, and then they will recognize the prince!" ”
As he spoke, he combed Mingzhu's hair smoothly, took out a purple jade hairpin from her dowry box, and pulled the lock of hair on it into a loose bun, and most of the lower part was still scattered, hanging softly on the shoulders, like a smooth black satin, which was very beautiful.
He likes Mingzhu's simple dress, in his opinion, Mingzhu is the most beautiful in the world, any ornaments worn on her head will not add to her beauty, but will be overshadowed by her bright and gorgeous face, so he simply does not call her Zhucui full of hair, and does not allow her to make up, every morning after getting up, he has to help her groom and dress up, and then obsessively look at it for a while before going to the court.
After helping Mingzhu comb her hair, he ordered the maid to take out a set of tender yellow dresses for her to change, seeing that she was dressed like a fairy who was not stained with dust, it was rare for a while, and then he went to the court with confidence.
At this time, Mingzhu has been pregnant for more than a month, and the Empress Dowager Namuhan and Empress Wu were pleasantly surprised, and they had already issued an order to exempt her from morning and dusk, and even sent several medical women to take care of her, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law often came to visit Mingzhu together to take care of her diet and daily life.
Empress Wu gave birth to five sons in a row, but never gave birth to a daughter, this incident became her biggest regret in this life, Mingzhu got married, she treated Mingzhu as her own daughter to make up for the regret of not being able to give birth to a daughter in this life.
Before Mingzhu got married, she heard her mother-in-law talk about her mother-in-law, and I heard that her mother-in-law was a native of the Jin Dynasty and the daughter of the Marquis of Jian'an, and later married the prince of Qingluo by chance, and then became the queen of Qingluo country.
It is said that the father-in-law treats his mother-in-law very well, just like the father and the queen mother, they have lived together for half a lifetime, and the father-in-law is the king of a country, but he does not even have a concubine, let alone a concubine, that is, he has not even touched the corners of other women's clothes, it can be seen that his love for his mother-in-law is not ordinarily deep.
She is very envious of the love between her father-in-law and mother-in-law that can stand the test of time, and she is also very curious why her mother-in-law does not have the appearance of a country and a city like her mother, nor does she have the ability to move mountains and reclaim the sea, but she can win the favor of her father-in-law?
After she married Dao Qingluo, she gradually understood that there is a kind of love that has nothing to do with appearance, wealth, ability, or even age, just like her father-in-law loves her mother-in-law.
In the eyes of his father-in-law, everything about his mother-in-law is the best, the most in line with his aesthetic standards and requirements, and even the laziness and confusion of his mother-in-law are lovely and real in his eyes, and she is a hundred times stronger than a royal lady like her, who has been carefully trained by the royal family!
Perhaps, this is the legendary true love!
Mingzhu is very envious of the relationship between her father-in-law and mother-in-law, but she has never told Wan Yanchao about it, she doesn't need the love of kidnapping, if Wan Yanchao loves her, even if she doesn't say it, he will love her willingly for the rest of his life like his father-in-law loves his mother-in-law. Even if she says it, the years are so long, who can guarantee that he will not change his mind for the rest of his life?
Therefore, she never asked him to be loyal to him like his father or father-in-law, but she was influenced by her mother's thoughts since she was a child, and her heart was very independent.
"Crown Princess, this is today's breakfast planned today, please decide."
The lady in charge of the back kitchen of the Prince's Mansion came over to ask for instructions on the breakfast arrangement.
Every morning, after finishing Yan Chao, he would rush back to have breakfast with Mingzhu. He is not picky about eating, but Mingzhu has been accustomed to eating vegetables, fish, shrimp and fruits in the space since he was a child, and now he eats things outside, whether it is delicacies from the mountains and seas, or monkey's head bird's nest, he really feels that it is difficult to swallow.
Therefore, every meal, she has to put some effort into picking up some of her favorite foods to cook in the kitchen, she doesn't care, but the child in the belly can't, if he doesn't eat well, it will have an impact on the child in the belly.
Mingzhu took the menu and looked at it, and saw that the menu was full of fish and meat, and she felt sick to her stomach, she frowned and said: "These fish and meat are exempt, but the blunt wontons of the little lotus leaf and little lotus penger I ate last time are better." ”
When the kitchen heard this, he hurriedly agreed to rush back to the back kitchen, and ordered the miscellaneous to bring a few old hens, and then send someone to the library to find the four pairs of soup molds, and hurry to make soup noodles for the princess to eat.
The kitchen is busy, no one dares to have a good slack, everyone knows that the princess they serve is expensive, she is not only the only princess of the Great Jin Kingdom, but also the prince's eyeballs and life, even the queen mother and the queen mother treat her as a heart baby!
If they serve her well, they will naturally have a steady stream of rewards and a bright future, but if they serve her badly, the crown princess will lose weight, or they will not be able to eat and lose their appetite, they will be expelled from the house with a meal, or they will have a small life!
The lotus leaf soup ordered by the pearl is not a precious thing, but it is a little cumbersome and troublesome, and when the kitchen is in full swing, two uninvited guests suddenly came to the house, and they turned out to be the emperor and the queen mother of the Great Jin Kingdom!
When Mingzhu saw her parents who had been separated for several months, she was immediately excited like a child, and she couldn't even care about being pregnant, so she ran over and threw herself into her parents' arms and choked up.
"Father, Mother, why are you here...... My daughter misses you so much......"
"Don't cry, don't cry, look at you, you're about to be a mother, you're still like a child, and you're not afraid of other people's jokes!"
Cai Wei hugged her whimpering daughter, comforting in her mouth, but her heart was sour, although her daughter's spirit looked very good, and she knew that life was very comfortable at a glance, but after a few months of separation, when she saw her daughter at first glance, and she was pregnant with her daughter, she still couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
The daughter who was originally under Chenghuan's knees every day has now become someone's daughter-in-law, and she has to give birth to children, pass on the ancestry, and be a mother, it is inevitable that she will be a little sad.
Nangong Yi was originally a daughter who favored her, and when she saw her daughter's aggrieved and excited look, she suddenly straightened her face and said majestically: "Zhu'er, why are you crying so decently?" But Wan Yanchao, that kid bullied you? If you have one, you must tell your father truthfully, and your father will clean him up for you! ”
Mingzhu leaned on her mother's arms, sniffed, and said softly: "No, father, Chao is very good to me, and even the imperial history has impeached him." ”
"The Emperor, you have wronged the prince, the prince gets up every morning and personally combs the princess's hair, for this matter, there was a royal history to impeach him yesterday!"
Chunliu said good things for Yan Chao on the side, and their family served as a dowry, accompanied Mingzhu to Qingluo Kingdom, and settled here.
Today's Chunliu is no longer the little palace maid who follows Caiwei's side, and she is no longer the little girl who is sold with a straw label in Qingyun Town, but the most prestigious housekeeper in the prince's mansion, Zhu'er has also become the big housekeeper of the prince's mansion, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang are responsible for taking care of Yan Chao's Zhuangzi in the suburbs, and by the way, they take care of Chunliu and Zhu'er's children there.
"The queen mother, the prince almost didn't carry a board to offer the princess, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as 'holding it in your hand for fear of falling, and holding it in your mouth for fear of melting', where is it willing to bully the princess?" Chunliu continued to appeal for Yan Chao.
Cai Wei and Nangong Yi were relieved when they heard that Chao'er was so good to Mingzhu.
Nangong Yi patted her daughter's head and said gently: "Good child, don't cry, you are pregnant, beware of not being good for the child." ”
Mingzhu also cried out of excitement for a while, not sad or sad, as soon as his father persuaded him, he held back his tears, and said with a smile: "Well, okay, don't cry, father, mother, you haven't eaten yet, come, let's have breakfast together." ”
Nangong Yi and Cai Wei really didn't eat breakfast, and when they heard their daughter's invitation, they readily agreed, they washed their hands, sat at the table with their daughter, and waited for breakfast to come while talking.
Mingzhu talked about some things that happened after getting married, and asked some things about the capital of Dajin, and said that he was emotional, and it was inevitable that he would sigh sometimes.
After a while, the kitchen brought the lotus leaf soup and added a few side dishes of Dajin's favorite Dajin flavor.
Cai Wei glanced at the bowl and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the people of Qingluo Kingdom would be able to eat it, but they could wrap such a small and delicate wonton, I'll try one." ”
When she scooped one up with a spoon and tasted it in her mouth, she suddenly felt that her mouth was full of lotus leaves, and there was a hint of the fragrance of chicken soup, fragrant but not greasy, strange and delicious.
"Well, that's good!" She praised, Nangong Yi heard this, and also took a spoon to hold one, and after tasting it, she praised again and again: "It's really good, how is this wrapped, let's learn it when we go back, and when we want to eat it, we can wrap it up and eat it at any time." ”
Mingzhu said: "It's not wrapped up, it's morning sickness when I was just pregnant, I can't eat anything, an old cook in the Queen Mother's palace came up with a method, and made a few pairs of dough molds out to print, in fact, it's not a delicious thing, it's all about the exquisite wontons, it looks like an appetite, and the soup is good, so I think it's delicious." ”
After saying that, I ordered someone to go and get those molds.
Cai Wei heard that Mingzhu had morning sickness, and said distressedly: "Why don't you have the mind to contact Gui Daxian and ask him what to eat when he has morning sickness?" Do I need to take tocolytics? Why do you feel uncomfortable quietly? ”
Mingzhu said: "My reaction is not serious, but it was too hot in those days, so it was just a bit of heat stroke, it's not a big deal, it's long ago." ”
Nangong Yi said: "Anyway, you should still tell us, even an irrelevant Xiao Clan, you can activate your mind, why did you come to your own place, but you hesitated?" ”
Mentioning the Xiao family, Mingzhu couldn't help but ask curiously: "Did the father and queen mother go to save the Xiao family?" How is she now? ”
Cai Wei said: "There is a turtle fairy, naturally her life is safe, her ribs have almost grown, the broken leg has been connected, and it will grow well in another month or two, and when the time comes, you can move freely after practicing for a while." ”
"What about her face? Can you get back to your original appearance? ”
When she asked this question, Mingzhu suddenly remembered the terrifying appearance of the skin and flesh on her face when she first saw Xiao, revealing Bai Sensen's cheekbones!
"The wound on her face has been stitched up and grown, but the scar is too deep, and it will take a while to completely remove it, Gui Daxian said, if she wants to recover completely, I'm afraid it will take a year younger!"
When Cai Wei said this, the next person had already presented the four sets of molds for making lotus leaf soup, and Mingzhu said: "Since my father and queen mother love to eat this lotus leaf soup, bring these molds back, and I will ask them to make another pair." ”
After speaking, he instructed the people below to immediately create a few more such molds.
When Cai Wei took the mold and looked at it, it turned out to be a small red box carved by lacquer, which contained four pairs of silver molds, all of which were more than a foot long and one inch square, and there were patterns the size of beans chiseled on them, including plum blossoms, lotus flowers, and water chestnuts, a total of thirty or forty kinds, and they were very exquisite.
Because Xiang Mingzhu said solemnly: "For your mouthful of food, you have to go to such great lengths, you have to honor your elders, don't be pampered, and don't live up to their love for you." ”
Mingzhu smiled: "Don't worry, the queen mother, my daughter will definitely be a good daughter-in-law." ”
As he was talking, Wanyan Chaosan came back, and when he saw his father-in-law and mother-in-law descending from the sky, he hurriedly came forward to salute, and hurriedly ordered someone to inform his father and mother that he wanted to receive his father-in-law and mother-in-law ceremoniously.
Cai Wei smiled: "Don't alarm others, we are also idle, just come to your house for a walk, and leave in a while, Mingzhu is pregnant, we will come at any time in the future, if we all make such a big fanfare, wouldn't it be to exhaust your father and queen mother?" ”
Wan Yan Chao said: "It's rare for my father and queen mother to come here, why don't you stay for a few days before leaving, you have to leave in such a hurry, but what is important to do?" ”
Cai Wei said: "It's not a hassle for us to come and go, it's just a day's work, and it's not a big deal to leave today, but the Xiao family who saved last time has been depressed, thinking about her daughter in Dayong, who is also a parent, and we can't bear to see her so tormented, so we will take her back to Dayong to see, so that she can rest assured." ”
During this time, Xiao's injury recovered very well, but his mind was too heavy, often depressed, and he was secretly crying alone, and the old turtle informed Cai Wei of her situation, and Cai Wei asked several times to know that Xiao had been thinking about her daughter.
Her daughter is the princess of Chu who married into the Chu Mansion instead of Concubine Li De, Xiao heard about what happened to her daughter in the Chu Mansion before she was injured, and it was specially revealed to her by the eldest princess of Gaoyang in order to stimulate her. ’
It is said that the daughter was exposed as an imposter on the night of the wedding, and the king of Chu drove her to a deserted courtyard in a fit of rage, and burned all her dowry, although he did not kill her immediately, but, looking at the appearance of the palace of the king of Chu, there is a chance that his daughter will not live too long.
She only has such a daughter, her eyes look like she has grown so big, and her daughter is a timid and cowardly, how can she withstand their tribulation, I am afraid that when her injuries are healed, her daughter will also be tormented to death, if so, what is she still alive for?
As a parent, Cai Wei can understand Xiao's mood very much, so she promised her to visit her daughter in Dayong by the way when she went to visit Mingzhu.
When Xiao heard the news, he picked himself up again.
The flight speed of the Condor is faster than that of the white-haired tiger, and Cai Wei and his wife rode on the back of the Condor, and it only took one day to fly to Dayong Kingdom.
When he arrived at the Chu Palace, it was already dark, and Brother Parrot searched around with his clairvoyance, but he did not find Xiao's daughter.
It stands to reason that as long as the person is alive or has no disguise, Brother Parrot will definitely be able to find it, but Brother Parrot has been looking for a long time, but he has not found it. It cried out, "Master, I didn't find the person you were looking for, she's either dead or disguised." ”
Xiao's daughter is a boudoir woman, she has no power or power, has no martial arts, and no complicated social relationships, she will never be able to be easily disguised, therefore, there is only one possibility, she is already dead.
