Chapter 91: The Child
Soon after Xia Nishang returned to Xiao Jue Palace, the news of Cheng Lingxi's death came out, she was not stupid, and naturally understood what was going on. It's just that she was let go like this, Xia Nishang was really unwilling.
In the evening, Leng Yexuan still went to Xiao Jue Palace. At that time, Xia Nishang was eating, and when she saw Leng Yexuan coming in, she also lost her appetite, so she put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked Yun Yi and the others to withdraw.
"Why did the emperor come over so late?" Xia Nishang's tone was flat, and she couldn't see anything at all.
"Dance, but weird?" Leng Yexuan sighed, Cheng Lingxi died in front of him at that time, he really had no way to be ruthless, after all, he was also a woman who had children for himself and had been with him for more than ten years.
"The concubine doesn't blame the emperor, the emperor must have his own ideas." Xia Nishang shook her head, Leng Yexuan was soft-hearted, she didn't know it on the first day, not to mention, he was not herself, so naturally she couldn't understand her hatred and bitterness.
"Wu'er, I can't do it, Cheng her." Leng Yexuan paused, didn't continue, just took out the letterhead in his sleeve and put it in Xia Nishang's hand. "This is her confession, take a look at it."
Xia Nishang took the paper in Leng Yexuan's hand and gently unfolded it, with a hint of cherry blossoms on it.
Cheng Lingxi's font is very beautiful, and it is a character that ordinary official ladies often learn.
There are not many words on it, and Xia Nishang quickly finished reading the {one + book} reading} novel ybdu. It's just that her tears slid down uncontrollably, smashed on the ground, and bloomed.
It explained clearly how she asked Dye Xi to put the witch doll in Murong Yining's dormitory in her previous life, and how she confused Zhiqin and pushed her into the water, and in this life, Hui Qing hit Lu Feiyan with a stone, causing her to fall on Xia Nishang's body, causing Xia Nishang to have a miscarriage. There are many more, but Xia Nishang doesn't want to watch anymore.
"Wu'er, it's all over, no one will hurt you again in the future." When Leng Yexuan saw Xia Nishang like this, he took her into his arms and coaxed her quietly.
But Xia Nishang couldn't hear any sound anymore.
The humiliation of the previous life came to my heart at once. It was as if she had gone through a big dream, but the pain was so clear that there was no way to forget it.
Xia Nishang gently put her hand on her lower abdomen, where there was once a child, but she didn't know if she would be pregnant in the future.
The concubine has finally avenged you.
Xia Nishang thought to herself. Although he was poisoned by the Queen Mother in his previous life, if Cheng Lingxi had not been released and entered the cold palace, I am afraid that the Queen Mother would have no choice. From this point of view, perhaps the Queen Mother and Cheng Lingxi have reached some kind of agreement.
Xia Nisheng's eyes began to chill, Cheng Lingxi, you hurt my child, I can't kill you with my own hands, but the Queen Mother, in the past and present life, these hatreds, I will return them to you one by one!
Now, that so-called confession is useless. Xia Nisheng's gaze was cold, and she took the paper in Leng Yexuan's hand and approached the candle flame next to her.
All of a sudden, the flames swallowed up the thin paper, as if it was the most beautiful fireworks in the world, leaving only a little starlight.
Early in the morning of the second day, Leng Yexuan issued an order to push the second prince into the water and frame Xia Nishang, which was done by Yu Zhaoyi, and now he also died of a sudden illness. Nian has served diligently for many years, and has an eldest son, he will not be punished or rewarded, and he will still be buried in the position of Zhaoyi.
There are only a few people in the palace who have seen Yu Zhaoyi, and those new concubines don't know anything except that she is the mother of the emperor's eldest son. Leng Yexuan did this, and for those people, it didn't matter.
It's just that Xia Nishang had to postpone the post-sealing ceremony because of this incident, and Leng Yexuan was very guilty, that is, everything in the Internal Affairs Office was as before, and it was the canonization ceremony to the first day of the first month of the eleventh year of Jiajing, which could be regarded as making up for it.
The concubines in the queen and the palace are all used to seeing these things, which one is not the rudder of the wind. originally thought that Xia Nishang would die of incense, but she never thought that Leng Yexuan would still clear her grievances and insist on making her the queen.
When those concubines saw this, they no longer dared to despise Xia Nishang. Even before the post-sealing ceremony, they still go to Xia Nishang's every day to sit and sit to show their favor.
It's just that Xia Nishang has always been irritable because of Cheng Lingxi's affairs. The mastermind behind the scenes that she wanted to dig out in her previous life has now appeared so easily, Xia Nishang still feels a little unbelievable, as if she is in a dream.
But Cheng Lingxi explained the facts very clearly, one by one, one by one, you have to believe it even if you don't believe it.
The winter of Jiajing's ten years came quickly, and it seemed that he had just taken off his autumn clothes and had to change into heavy cotton clothes. Xia Nishang nested on the chaise longue made of pear blossom wood wrapped in black silk, holding a hand stove carved with glass enamel flowers and birds, not knowing what she was thinking.
"This year's winter is getting colder." A burst of cool air drifted by, Yun Yi quickly ran in, there were still some snowflakes on her body, she put her hand on the warm cage, and roasted it carefully.
"Drink a cup of ginger tea, it's not good if you're sick." Xia Nishang looked at her red face that was fluttered by the wind, and said with a frown.
"Don't worry, the slave is in good shape." Yun Yi smiled shyly. "Niangniang has been getting more and more lazy lately, and she doesn't walk around, she always sits there, and her body is stiff."
"It's really cold outside, and when I move in this palace, I feel as if the wind is blowing into my bones, and it's uncomfortable." Xia Ni tightened the white fox blanket on her body, covering it tightly, leaving only a delicate little face.
"Who says it's not, it's only November, it's so cold, maybe what will happen in the future?" Yun Yi also sighed. Although it is said that it is a good year, but the snow does not stop, and it is dry, and people are lazy.
"Feiyan is about to give birth, right?" Xia Nishang was overwhelmed by the cold night Chenji a few days ago, this is what makes it embarrassing to think about it, Lu Feiyan is still pregnant, and now it has been ten months, but I am afraid that I will give birth soon.
Thinking that at the beginning, Xia Nishang was wronged by the Queen Mother, and Lu Feiyan, who was waiting to give birth in the palace to protect the fetus, had to rush over to explain to her, but Yun Yi stopped her in the past, so she didn't let her come out.
Lu Feiyan's girl has a hot temper, but fortunately, she is about to give birth now, but this time she has really suffocated her.
"Yes, Zhaohua Niangniang's fetus, I'm afraid it's just these days." Yun Yi thought about it, and nodded and said.
"Wen Po has found everything? Women's childbirth is a major event, a little careless, will even lose their lives, close to the people must be carefully selected, do not mix anything in. Xia Nishang told carefully. Lu Feiyan is good to her, Xia Nishang knows it in her heart. Now that she is about to give birth again, how can Xia Nishang not worry.
"Don't worry, mother-in-law, the mother and nurse are all found by the slaves and maids themselves, and nothing will go wrong." Yun Yi explained. "Shun Concubine Niangniang is also accompanied by the past two ends for three days, this fetus will definitely go smoothly."
Seeing her say this, Xia Nishang smiled and nodded. Stretched out his hand to stroke his lower abdomen, there was still no movement there, but Xia Nishang also knew that this matter was in a hurry, so she calmed down and took good care of it.
Since listening to Shangguan Yichen's words that day, cold things are rarely close on weekdays. Even if it's hot, you still have to put the fruit for a while before you are willing to eat it. But even so, I still can't get pregnant.
Lu Feiyan's stomach was activated on the night of the second day. At that time, the heavy snowfall that had been falling for a whole week had just stopped, and the cry of a baby could be heard in Suyue Palace.
Although Lu Feiyan is a first pregnancy, perhaps because she was well maintained during pregnancy, the child did not toss her for too long, from launch to landing, it was only three hours.
He is a fleshy prince, with thin fetal hair, although he has not yet opened his eyes, he can see the general appearance.
Xia Nishang looked at Lu Feiyan on the bed, because of the production, her hair was still attached to her face, her eyes were closed, and her body was covered with a bright red Duozi Duofu pomegranate lotus brocade quilt. There was a faint smell of blood in the air, which did not disperse for a long time.
"Your Majesty, Sister Zhuang is so tired that she has already fallen asleep." Xia Nishang lifted the dark purple embroidered hibiscus curtain and walked out.
The cold night xuan outside was facing the baby in the nurse's arms, gently teasing.
"Come and see." Leng Yexuan greeted Xia Nishang, perhaps because his voice was a little louder, and the child in the nurse's arms frowned, turned over, and fell asleep again.
"Your Majesty, Sister Zhuang gave birth to an heir for the emperor, she really deserves to be rewarded, and the little prince should also have a name." Xia Nishang stood beside Leng Yexuan and reminded softly.
"I'm glad I'm confused." Leng Yexuan smiled at Xia Nishang. "The Lu family has been in the palace for a long time, and now that the imperial heir has been born, it is a noble concubine."
"The concubine thanked the emperor for Sister Zhuang." Xia Nishang saluted and said in a low voice.
"Little prince, just give the name Lu."
With just one sentence, the name of Leng Yexuan's ninth child was decided. Cold night dew, Xia Nishang smiled, dew, good name, not arrogant or impatient, but it can't be ignored.
"Your Majesty, if it's getting late today, and the emperor is afraid that he's hungry, the concubine will ask the emperor to make a supper, right?" Xia Nishang saw that Leng Yexuan's expression was already a little tired, so she spoke. "Or the emperor should go back to Zichen Palace to rest earlier."
"I still have some twists and turns to criticize, so Wu'er ordered someone to make some food and send it to Ruiyu Palace." Leng Yexuan covered his lips and yawned, he was really a little tired.
"The emperor can rest assured, the concubines will definitely do it." Xia Nishang squatted down on her knees. "The concubine sends the emperor."
"You're not in good health, don't stay up too late, go back early to rest." Leng Yexuan nodded, but glanced at Xia Nishang gently, and gave a concerned word of advice before turning around and leaving.
After Leng Yexuan left, Xia Nishang asked Yun Yi to make purple fragrant ginseng and pheasant porridge, with a few side dishes, and sent it to Ruiyu Palace, while she lifted the curtain again and entered the inner room.
