Of course, there is no leisure to enjoy the scenery, Yuan Ziyan seems very irritable, a little tied up.

After returning to Chang'an, Yuan Ziyan arranged for Li Ke, the king of Wu, to go to work first, and also brought a letter to Li Zhi, presumably to be able to stop for a while.

Li Ke had a little regret, of course he hoped that Yuan Ziyan could enter the palace together, and in case of a sudden accident, someone would be able to save him. But seeing that Yuan Ziyan had no intention of going back, it was not easy to persuade him, so he had to enter the palace alone.

After Li Ke entered the palace, he was warmly received by Li Zhi, and his younger sister Wu Zhaoyi, who was about to give birth, also changed his name to the third brother, and several little nephews accompanied him, and the family was happy.

But the sight did not make Li Ke feel a little warm, but accompanied by a smiling face and carefulness, lest he say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing.

The crown prince Li Zhong came to greet Li Ke, of course, he paid homage with the great gift of respecting the teacher, Li Ke did not entrust him, but sincerely honored the prince, instead of calling him by name.

Li Ke's excessive self-discipline made the atmosphere a little dull, and the wine was naturally not drunk enough. Li Zhi was depressed, is this the love of brotherhood, he is completely unfamiliar.

In order to break the deadlock, Wu Mei asked with a smile: "Third brother, I heard that my stepmother entered Beijing with you, why didn't you see her come back?" ”

"The stepmother rushed to Mochizuki Villa, and she has no plans to return for the time being." Li Ke hurriedly said.

"Hehe, my stepmother really wants to give up on me, I can't miss it!" Wu Mei made a joke, Li Zhi didn't take it seriously, and laughed, he also wanted to see his stepmother being able to live happily outside the palace.

Can't get enough of it? Wu Wang Li Ke's eyes lit up. I have long known that Wu Mei was brought up by her stepmother since she was a child, and she is as close as a mother and daughter, maybe she can?

Come to think of it. Li Ke's spirit was shocked, but he showed a decadent expression, and sighed: "My stepmother works hard for state affairs, she is slender and weak, which is distressing. But the stepmother intends to stay outside the palace from now on, which is also a loss for the court. ”

Sure enough, Wu Mei showed a surprised look: "What." Isn't my stepmother going back to the palace? The stepmother is just recuperating outside the uterus. ”

"I heard that the place where my stepmother is recuperating is quiet, and you can also drink and have fun with friends. When singing to the moon, it is indeed much stronger than in the palace. Besides, the stepmother yearns for freedom by nature and gave birth to a pair of flying wings, perhaps the confinement in the palace is too cruel for her. Li Ke said matter-of-factly.

"Is it the righteous mother's mouth that speaks to you?" Wu Mei asked unwillingly. Because her only backer in the palace is Yuan Ziyan. If you lose your stepmother, I really don't know how to survive in the future?

Wu Mei's interest was not high, and the dinner party was completely cold, so she dispersed early, and Li Ke also went back to rest.

"Sister Mei, maybe the third brother misunderstood the meaning of the stepmother, the stepmother will never break her word, and she will definitely come back." Li Zhi comforted Wu Mei.

"But. This time, the stepmother only asked the third brother to bring the letter into the palace, and she herself did not show up. "Wu Mei is worried." Your Majesty, let's talk about it in our hearts, what benefits did the stepmother get from the royal family? Although it is His Majesty's stepmother, many concubines in the Houting Court are dissatisfied, and they don't even want to shout their stepmother, not to mention the ministers of the court, what Houting interferes in politics, and even I feel unfair for my stepmother when I hear it. ”

Li Zhi's heart sank, and he also felt that it was not a taste. It stands to reason that Yuan Ziyan is now the most noble woman in the world, with a first-class official residence, and the same position as the queen mother, but precisely because she is a woman, the person headed by the eldest grandson Wuji is not convinced, and because she is not the real queen mother, the queen is so ridiculed that she refuses to even call her stepmother.

In Li Zhi's eyes, there are only two women who have worked tirelessly to accompany their father and emperor in the dark and night, one is the deceased queen mother, Empress Wende, who is in charge of housework for her father and is tireless. The other is the stepmother, outside the Lord, sometimes the father is asleep, and the stepmother can be seen frowning slightly.

Li Zhi has long regarded Yuan Ziyan as his biological mother, but he doesn't know how to deal with the harm that worldly prejudice brings to his stepmother.

"Your Majesty, the concubine wants to leave the palace tomorrow and persuade her stepmother to come back." Wu Mei thought about it and said firmly.

"But you're going to give birth in two days, how can you ride and bumpy?" Li Zhi asked worriedly.

"Hehe, is Your Majesty afraid that this child will be born outside the palace and will be questioned again?"

"Why, it's all my flesh and blood."

"Ask Your Majesty's permission, Wu Mei will go back as soon as she goes, and there will be no delay."

"This ......"

"Your Majesty, the concubine has knelt down for you!"

"Okay!"

Wu Mei's wish was granted, but she didn't sleep well, but went around the ghost gate again. Because that night, this child couldn't wait to pick up Yuan Ziyan and Wu Mei's chattel!

Although it was the second child, the production process was still not smooth, and Li Zhi was anxious, but fortunately there were no other symptoms. The next day, Wu Mei was still not born, and Wu Mei was exhausted, but as long as she opened her eyes, she would force herself to drink a large bowl of greasy broth to replenish her strength.

That night, the queen Xiao Shufei came to visit and learned that Wu Mei had not yet been born, so she volunteered to burn incense and ask for Buddha to bless the emperor's heir with a smooth birth.

In front of the Buddhist hall, the two women were gloating, wishing that Wu Mei would die in childbirth.

"Sister, if Wu Mei dies and leaves the two children, it's really pitiful!" Concubine Xiao squinted and said.

"Hmph, maybe leave one behind, I don't know if this one can be revealed!" Queen Wang sneered.

Concubine Xiao Shu was stunned, and then laughed too, it seems that Queen Wang adopted her son, so she didn't take Wu Mei's child in her eyes. If Wu Mei really died in childbirth, what status does a prince who has lost the blessing of his mother have? It's just an early rush to the fiefdom.

The two talked and laughed, and chanted Buddha happily. Of course, some rumors fell into Li Zhi's ears, and the queen and Concubine Shu were still talking and laughing when Wu Zhaoyi had a difficult birth.

In the early morning of the third day, as the rising sun, Li Zhi added another princess carved in pink, and Wu Mei was finally born.

There were two cries coming, one was a baby, and the other was Wu Mei, the former was panicked when he first came to the world, and the latter was a mother again, and he knew bitterly.

The imperial doctor Wen Po tried her best to persuade Wu Mei not to cry, it would hurt her eyes, but Wu Mei's tears couldn't be stopped, and she was still holding the newborn child, and she refused to let go no matter what.

The imperial doctor and the others really had no choice but to come to Li Zhi to report. Wu Mei was removed from the delivery room again, and Li Zhi immediately went in to enlighten her. When the news reached the ears of Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, it was inevitable that the two would sarcastically ridicule Wu Mei and play tricks, just to win the emperor's sympathy, and didn't they want to be special in order to elevate their status?

However, because Wu Mei was born as a girl, the two did not show great disgust. Princesses, they will all marry out of the palace in the future, it is not a big deal, this era, but the world of men.

Besides, Li Zhi hurriedly walked into the house, only to see Wu Mei, whose hair was wet with sweat, holding the baby with blood stains and crying, tears continued.

"Sister Mei, I'm here, don't be afraid." Li Zhi hurriedly stepped forward, Wu Mei raised her teary eyes, looked down at the child in her arms and cried again.

"If there is any suffering, even if you say it to me, don't hold it in your heart." Li Zhi said distressedly.

"Your Majesty, this child is not easy to come by, and the concubine of Shicai saw a delicate and transparent girl in a trance and called my mother ......"

Speaking of this, Wu Mei couldn't go on anymore, Li Zhi smiled and said, "Your body is too weak, it's okay to hallucinate." ”

"No, Your Majesty, the girl has a red mole on her shoulder, and our child also has it. Your Majesty, she, she's saying goodbye to me! Wu Mei grabbed Li Zhi's wrist in horror, her nails were embedded in the flesh, Li Zhi frowned slightly, but did not move.

"Your Majesty, what does this mean, is God going to take away our children?"

"Don't say that!" Li Zhi sighed, and gently covered Wu Mei's lips with his palm, comforting: "This is you and my daughter, Princess Datang, who is extremely noble and has boundless longevity, how can she leave after birth?" ”

"But ......"

"No, but, don't think about it anymore, it's unlucky for the child."

Wu Mei nodded, finally let go of her embrace, and handed the child over to the palace maid to wash and change clothes.

"Your Majesty, when will my stepmother come back?"

"Shall I pick her up in a few days?" Li Zhi patted Wu Mei's back and said.

"No!" Wu Mei raised her head again: "The concubine is going to pick up her mother-in-law, with her here, she will definitely be able to interpret the dream for the concubine." ”

"Here it is again, no matter what is a big matter, I will not allow you to leave the palace this month, you must take care of your body before going out." Li Zhi insisted.

Wu Mei hesitated for a moment, and nodded obediently, if this child really doesn't live long, and the age in the fantasy is almost ten years old, there should still be time.

Because she was too tired, Wu Mei fell asleep in Li Zhi's arms, and this sleep was two days and two nights, and when she woke up, she found that the little princess already had two nursing mothers, and she was furious.

Because Li Hong was raised by Wu Mei herself, this daughter should be the same. It's just that it's not what it used to be, Wu Mei was trying to save her life at the beginning, and now she is Zhaoyi, how can she breastfeed herself?

But Wu Mei was very resolute in this, and she had to feed herself, which still alarmed Li Zhi, and Li Zhi reluctantly agreed, and this move also won the appreciation of most of the concubines in the court.

Because women, especially those in the palace, look at their bodies very much, so as not to breastfeed out of shape, no one will feed their children personally. Wu Mei's move just shows that she loves her children more than herself.

Therefore, some rumors about Wu Mei have also dissipated, and there are many people who come to visit Wu Mei. Wu Mei was still not happy, what made her extremely frustrated was that when she had Li Hong, she had enough milk, and after giving birth to her daughter, she tossed for a day, but there was no drop of milk, I don't know if it was related to sleeping for two days.

The daughter is hungry and crying, how can a baby drink milk for a day? It's a pity that creation makes people, under the persuasion of Li Zhi, Wu Mei handed over the child to the nurse again, and no matter what method was used for more than ten days, there was no milk. (To be continued......)
