Chapter 82: Surprise
It was not only Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang who were shocked, Li Ke, who returned to the palace in a daze, sat in a daze until dark before he woke up, looking at Princess Wu standing in front of him with a worried face, he could only show a wry smile. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ren is he thought about many possibilities, but he never thought that he would see Wu Meiniang in the palace, and not as a mother, but in a blink of an eye, he became his younger brother's woman!
Is it that in addition to the throne, he can't even keep a woman?
"What's the matter? That's what it looks like when you come back from the palace? Princess Wu smiled and took off the coat on Li Ke's body, but the faint smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.
"Do you know who I saw in the palace today?" Li Ke hugged his wife's waist, as if he wanted to draw some warmth from her.
There had never been a moment when he felt so defeated! It turns out that three years ago, he lost more than one throne!
"Who?" When she spit out this word, Princess Wu's heart jumped inexplicably, and a bad premonition passed through her heart.
"I saw Wu Meiniang in the palace!" Li Ke's voice was a little self-deprecating: "The palace maids call her Wu Zhaoyi!" ”
The smile on Princess Wu's face suddenly froze when she heard the words Wu Meiniang, and she couldn't hide her surprise.
No wonder! No wonder Queen Wang looked at her and smiled so strangely, and said such strange things that were not yin or yang! At that time, she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out, it turned out to be because of Wu Meiniang?
"Even if she has a good home now, won't you be able to rest assured, lord?" Reluctantly showing a smile, Princess Wu gently covered Li Ke's hands on her waist.
The slippery palms were covered with sweat, and they looked extremely slippery and uncomfortable in this not hot season.
Princess Wu's words stunned Li Ke, who was originally full of resentment, and looked at the woman in her arms blankly, before revealing a gloomy smile for a while.
Oh, yes! What can I do if I am unwilling? Can you still bring out a concubine who lives in the forbidden palace? Besides, maybe this was Wu Meiniang's willingness? And where does he stand to bring people out?
However, how could he be reconciled by all this? How can you turn a blind eye?
Feeling Li Ke's tightened arm, Princess Wu smiled and changed the topic: "Gao Yang came here just now, handed over a post, and invited us to go over to watch the song and dance, do you want to go and take a look?" ”
Interrupted by his wife's words, Li Ke let go of his hand. However, he was not interested in Gao Yang's invitation, those people were not all the way to him, and even if they were at the same table, they would not have anything to say.
"There you go! But don't sit at the same table with the officials of the DPRK and China, they don't have a fuel-efficient lamp. Li Keqiang cheered up and smiled and patted his wife's hand and pushed her out of the door.
Standing at the door of the room, looking at the slowly closing door, Princess Wu wanted to speak and stopped, but then she could only sigh lowly.
This night, the light in the study of King Wu's mansion was also lit all night.
Early the next morning, Princess Wu took her personal little girl to Gaoyang Mansion, but Li Ke still stayed in King Wu's Mansion.
It is customary for the vassal kings to leave Chang'an not long after the spring pilgrimage, but this year there were some exceptions.
Because of Li Zhi's first selection, there were women from all over the country who entered Chang'an, and after the emperor's selection, there were most of the women left, so the Ministry of Rites made a fold, and wanted to fill these unsuccessful women to the domain as the side concubines or concubines of the vassal king, so the trip of Li Mo and others was delayed.
Thinking about this, Li Ke thought about it again and again, and decided to summon Yuwen from Shu to Chang'an.
Although he doesn't necessarily want to do something about his unwillingness, having a capable person by his side may or may not be helpful.
Seeing the white dove flapping its wings and flying into the sky, Li Ke, who was standing in front of the window, breathed a long sigh of relief. With this guarantee, no matter what, I may be able to sleep more peacefully in this Chang'an City.
Chang'an, which entered the twilight of spring, gradually began to heat up day by day, and the women's clothes began to show more patterns, and the open-chested silk skirts became the most beautiful scenery on the street.
But as a pregnant woman, Green Sleeves felt extremely uncomfortable. Although she chose the thinnest silk yarn for the dress, she still felt that the sweat stains were uncomfortable with her big belly, and the handkerchief held by the little girl who followed her was also changed from time to time, but it always couldn't make her feel comfortable.
"Green Sleeves! Sit down! I think you're so uncomfortable! Shang Shang looked at the growing belly of the green sleeves with some worry, and wiped the sweat from her forehead in distress.
Seeing that the delivery period is approaching, the movement of Green Sleeves is becoming more and more inconvenient, but in order to give birth to the child smoothly in the future, she still insists on moving around more every day and never sits in one place to rest.
Holding Shang Shang's hand and sitting on the chair beside her, Green Sleeves smiled and pointed to the little girl behind her: "This is a post sent by Lord Fang Cai's eldest grandson, which says the three days set by Qin Tianjian, I just came over in the front yard, and the eldest brother asked me to bring it in for you to see, so I can pick a date." ”
The little girl behind the green sleeves handed a big red gilded post to the merchant, and then stepped aside.
Shang Shang was stunned when she heard this, she thought that her eldest brother would directly pick a good day for herself, but she didn't expect this post to be turned in front of her in the end.
Looking at the three days written on it, she really couldn't tell which was good and which was bad.
"April 20, May 10, June 6, what's the difference?" Shang Shang looked at the post in his hand confusedly, but the eldest brother handed over this question to her, but it was really difficult for her.
Green sleeves took a sip of warm tea, looked at the three days written on the post with the merchant's hand, hesitated for a long time, and then said: "April 20, it's coming, I'm afraid that this day is not easy to prepare, June 6 is good, but I'm afraid that Li Gongzi can't wait, in my opinion, it's better to be May 10?" Not sooner or later, so that the dowry can be prepared. ”
After thinking about the green sleeves, the merchant also felt that it made sense, so he took a pen in front of the case, licked the ink and hooked the day of May 10, and said to the little girl: "You take this post, go to the front yard and talk to the eldest son, and say that you picked May 10." ”
Seeing the little girl go out, Shang Shang leaned on the green sleeves and sat down, gently stroked her protruding belly, and said softly: "How long will it take to live?" It's scary to look at this belly! ”
Green Sleeves half-leaned back in the chair and smiled, "What's scary?" What woman doesn't have this day? ”
"It's scary anyway, I don't think I've ever seen a belly bigger than yours." Feeling the slight pulsation under his hands, the merchant was in awe of Greensleeve's current appearance.
A woman who is about to become a mother always has some warmth and kindness on her face, like the most beautiful Hetian jade, and the light emitted is warm.
"I can't pretend to be him for long! In five or six days, it will be time to give birth, you see, it is almost out of confinement to send you out, how good! I don't have to stay in the house when you go out, and I can't see you! ”
Green Sleeves smiled and patted Shang Shang's hand, even though she was younger than Shang Shang, but looking at Shang Shang at this time, she also felt like looking at her sister.
Since marrying the second son of the Su family, Green Sleeves has been smiling every day in her heart, remembering that the previous days in Yunshuifang were really like a dream, and the hardships of her childhood were almost all gone away from her when she met Shang Shang!
Now that she is pregnant with Su Minzhi's child, the merchant is also getting married! These beautiful days made her feel as sweet as if she was immersed in honey!
"Ahh Just as Green Sleeves looked at Shang Shang with a smile on her face, a sudden pain made her cry out suddenly.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? The startled merchant quickly retracted the hand on Greensleeve's stomach, staring at Greensleeve's frowning in pain with wide eyes, lest he would hurt her by using too much force.
The green sleeves sitting on the chair were already relieved after a while, smiled at the merchant comfortingly, and said, "Can you help me back to the house?" I'm afraid I'm going to give birth! ”
"Going to give birth? Aren't there five or six days left? Shang Shang jumped up in fright, and wanted to rush out to find the girl, but he pulled the hand of the green sleeve uneasily.
"How can this birth be so accurate, it is common to have a child sooner or later." Greensleeves smiled and stood up holding the merchant's hand.
Because they were the first children of the Su family, the two brothers of Su Ruizhi invited Wen Po to live at home, and Green Sleeves also went to Wen Po more than once to ask Wen Po for advice on things to pay attention to during pregnancy, so these things were already familiar in their hearts. At this time, although he was a little flustered due to the onset of labor pain, when he thought of the stable woman who lived in the guest house, Green Sleeves felt more confident in his heart.
Shang Shang was frightened and helped the green sleeves to get up, but he still couldn't help but call out: "Little Peach!" Little Peach! Hurry up and go to the guest house and invite Wen Po to come! ”
Xiao Tao, who was embroidering a handkerchief outside, couldn't help but be startled when she heard the trilled shouts of the merchants, and when she opened the curtain, she saw two sweaty people.
At that moment, Xiao Tao panicked, and called the little girl waiting outside the house to ask Wen Po, but she stepped forward to help the other arm of the green sleeve, and the three of them followed each other to the house of the green sleeve.
Before the three of them could walk out of the inner courtyard, Wen Po, who rushed to hear the news, blocked the three of them, and when she saw that Green Sleeves wanted to walk back to her house, she couldn't help but be a little angry, and said loudly: "What's going on?" Why don't you get a sedan chair for your wife, when will you have to go back? ”
Followed by a bunch of people who didn't know how to be good, they woke up like a dream, and hurriedly asked the two rough mothers-in-law to carry the sedan chair, helped the green sleeves that were gasping in pain into the sedan chair, and escorted them all the way back to the house.
That Wen Po also has an idea, and when she saw that the masters and subordinates in this family were all young people, it didn't seem to be going through, so she took over the matter with one hand, and commanded a room full of people, but it was also in order.
When the two brothers Su Ruizhi and Su Minzhi got the letter and rushed back to the inner courtyard, the things in the delivery room had already been properly arranged, just waiting for the green sleeves to give birth.
