The emperor sat in the Qinzheng Hall for a long time, and only Gonggong Wan accompanied him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Usually, when there is nothing to do, the emperor is in a hurry to return to Changkun Palace. But today, the emperor has a sense of homesickness, and he doesn't want to go back to Changkun Palace to face Lin Yan.
It wasn't until the sky got dark that the emperor asked people to bring a mirror over, and seeing that his face had returned to normal, he cleaned up his mood again, and then went back to Changkun Palace.
In Changkun Palace, Lin Yan was sleeping on the bed, and the dormitory was lit with soothing incense.
After all, Lin Yan is old, and it is a little hard to conceive this child, and she is often tired and sleepy.
The emperor sniffed the soothing incense in the room, and then asked Mu Zhi on the side, "Why did you order the soothing incense today?" ”
Lin Yan doesn't like incense very much, and she decorates it with fresh flowers on weekdays.
Mu Zhi said with some sorrow: "Niangniang didn't know what was going on today, and she was suddenly startled a few times when she was sleeping. So the slave and maid took matters into their own hands and lit incense to calm the gods. ”
The emperor nodded when he heard this, and then said, "You guys go out, I will accompany your mother." ”
Mu Zhi bent his knees and said yes, and then went out with the other palace people.
The emperor shook Lin Yan's hand, picked up her hand and put it on his face, his eyes darkened little by little.
On the bed, Lin Yan seemed to have dreamed of something bad, suddenly "um", and then frowned tightly. The Emperor reached over and gently stroked her frowning brow, trying to help her smooth out.
As a result, her move woke Lin Yan up.
Lin Yan opened her eyes and saw that it was the emperor, so she hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty? ”
Then he held his stomach with one hand and the bed with the other, and said: "Why didn't the emperor make a sound when he came, it scared the concubines." There was something strange in his tone.
The emperor smiled at her, then touched her belly and asked, "Is the child well-behaved?" ”
Lin Yan is now almost eight months pregnant, her belly looks a little big, and the fetus is moving. Lin Yan sometimes makes him uncomfortable, and he can't even sleep well.
Lin Yan nodded with a light smile, and then said, "I have been honest and well-behaved in the past two days, and I was very naughty in the first two days." Saying that, he complained and liked: "I see that he comes out, and he is afraid that Huan'er is another character, and I am afraid that he will be very naughty." ”
As soon as the emperor heard the name of the little prince Huan, his face suddenly darkened again, revealing an extremely forbearant color. I was afraid that Lin Yan would mention the little prince Huan again, so she changed the topic and said: "It's good to be well-behaved, this child will be born in two months, and then I will teach him to give you a lesson to be angry, and see what he tortures his mother into." ”
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Will the emperor be willing to do it then?" "A child who is in his fifties will have a child when he is old.
The emperor smiled and said, "Reluctantly!" ”
As he spoke, he reached out to touch Lin Yan's belly, and the child was probably sleeping inside, and there was no movement.
Lin Yan turned her head to observe the emperor's face, she has always been thoughtful, and she has lived with the emperor for so many years. She could feel the slightest change in the emperor's mood. Although the emperor looked no different from his usual gentleness and kindness to her at this time, Lin Yan still felt that the emperor was not in a good mood, as if there was something in his heart, and it was not a small matter.
Lin Yan couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, is there something in your heart?" How can I see that you are not in a good mood. ”
The emperor's face was shocked, but it quickly returned to normal, so fast that Lin Yan almost didn't notice the change in his face, and then said with a smile on his eyebrows: "It's okay, how can there be something in my heart." ”
Lin Yan looked at the emperor's face carefully, and always felt that the emperor was lying to her.
The emperor shook her hand and said, "I have been married to you for so many years, even if there is something I will tell you." ”
Lin Yan knew that she might not be able to ask anything from the emperor, so she didn't ask any more, so she smiled again and said, "Since the emperor is fine, the concubine has something to ask the emperor." ”
The emperor said, "What's the matter, you say." ”
Lin Yan said: "The battle in the northwest has been fought, and the Turpan Khanate has also been attacked, so Huan'er should be allowed to come back, right?" As he spoke, he touched his stomach and said with a smile: "The concubine wants him to watch his younger brother or sister be born." ”
The emperor looked at Lin Yan, feeling extremely uncomfortable, and was afraid that she would find out the emotional changes on his face, so he stretched out his hand to hold her, and still said to her softly: "I'm afraid it's not so fast, although the battle in the northwest is over, there are still many things to do." For example, counting the casualties of soldiers, the Hu people often have some counterattacks to deal with, and how to temporarily stabilize the hearts of the people in Turpan, etc., all of which need to be done immediately.
Lin Yan was a little depressed and asked, "Isn't it okay to let other people do these things?" Do you have to do it yourself? ”
The emperor said: "He is the prince and the king of Qin, and he wants to lead by example." ”
Although Lin Yan also knows this, many times, her love for children still prevails. She doesn't need her son to have much ability, as long as she is rich and safe.
Lin Yan didn't say anything more, but she was still in a very bad mood.
After dinner in the evening, the emperor first accompanied Lin Yan back to the room to rest, and then went to see the three daughters one by one, mainly staying in Princess Jue's room for a while.
Princess Jue was sitting on the couch with her chin in her hand and thinking about her thoughts, and the fingers of her other hand were dipping in the tea, and then writing on the table. The words written on the table dried again after a while, and then she wrote them again. His face frowned, as if he had something extremely troubled.
Seeing the emperor come in, she raised her head and frowned, jumped off the couch with a smile, and ran over and shouted, "Father." ”
The emperor looked at her with a smile, held her hand, nodded her nose, and then asked, "What was Jue'er thinking just now?" ”
Princess Jue's mouth flattened slightly, and then said, "It's nothing." ”
The emperor dragged her to sit down on the couch, then gently touched her head, and then asked, "Jue'er, have you been uncomfortable lately?" ”
Princess Jue was a little strange and said, "Why does my father ask that?" ”
The emperor said, "It's nothing, just ask casually." ”
Princess Jue seemed to understand what the emperor was thinking, and suddenly said, "I feel some pain in my feet recently. ”
The expression on the emperor's face suddenly moved, and Princess Jue continued to describe to him: "It's like a broken bone, and it hurts faintly. After speaking, he raised his eyes to look at the emperor, held his arm with both hands, and asked, "Father, is there something wrong with Huan'er?" ”
The emperor's face was just a little heavy, and he didn't speak.
Princess Jue continued: "Actually, I know that every time Huan'er has an accident, I can feel it. Actually, I've been like this for a while, but I don't dare to tell my mother. I'm afraid I'll say that, in case the crow's mouth gets out. As he spoke, he confirmed with the emperor again, and said, "Huan'er must have had an accident, right?" ”
The emperor thought to himself, Jue'er felt a pain in her feet, and that Huan'er should only be injured, and there was no worry about her life for the time being.
The emperor was willing to comfort himself in this way.
He smiled at Princess Jue and said, "It's nothing, Huan'er is fine, and I'll be back soon." ”
Princess Jue suddenly cried out, buried her face on the emperor's shoulder, and said while crying: "Father, you don't have to lie to me, I know that something must have happened to Huan'er." It's all because I'm not good, when I used to quarrel with him, I shouldn't have said something to him that 'I can't die', because I often scolded him like this. I will never do this again, as long as he comes back safely, I apologize to him......"
The Emperor sighed, reached out and took her over, and patted her gently. (To be continued.) )
