Xu Si is pregnant again.

This time, she was so happy and cruel, almost eating and spitting up. When I smell the milk on my child's body, my stomach will tumble and tumble. Counting that she was pregnant in less than half a year after giving birth, her physique has not yet recovered, and she is very hard to conceive, daily fatigue and sleepiness, and little energy. had to be estranged from Ruyi for the time being, and more nurses took her.

Ruyi is only eight months old, and she just babbles and waves her little hand and calls "Niangniang" to Xu Sihu, and she still can't leave anyone at all. When she woke up every day and was hugged to Xu Si, she stretched out her arms to hug her, Xu Si didn't let her come close because of morning sickness, and her big eyes would reveal helplessness and loneliness.

Children's love is simple and straightforward, how can adults not see it? But the world is big, not as big as the child in Xu Si's belly.

After all, this one is the flesh and blood of the Son of Heaven, and maybe he is still a little prince.

Therefore, the nurses tried their best to keep Ruyi away from Xu Si, so as not to collide with Xu Si.

When Ruyi was playing under the wooden corridor outside the hall, he often saw a group of people hugging Xu Si and coming out. But when she happily crawled towards Xu Si, she would be picked up by the nurses by grabbing her chubby waist. The nurses naturally saluted Xu Si, but she had to turn her back to Xu Si. Ruyi is dissatisfied with the protest struggle, but what strength can she have? At most, the little hand pushes the nose or jaw of the nurse, forcing the nurse's nostrils to face the sky. When he was finally able to push the nurse to make it difficult for him to turn around, he often couldn't see Xu Si's figure anymore.

She didn't cry, just looked blankly for a while, wondering why Xu Si was gone. In doubt, she let the nurse carry her to the side to play.

Because of this, she has never been very close to her nursing mother. Every time I was picked up by the nurse, I writhed and struggled unhappily. When the nurse put her down, she sat alone and began to concentrate on playing.

Such a stubborn and unpleasant child is difficult to give birth to pity. The nurses took her, and they all secretly complained in their hearts.

In the blink of an eye, in June, the weather is hot and the cicadas are singing again.

The Son of Heaven was afraid that the sound of cicadas would make Xu Si's lunch break, and ordered the palace people to drive cicadas everywhere. There are thousands of willow trees in Taicheng, and the trees are surrounded by thick and thin, and the project of driving away cicadas is quite huge. Due to the shortage of manpower, many miscellaneous palace people who can't enter the inner palace on weekdays also take advantage of this excuse to enter the inner palace and walk around.

There are many miscellaneous people, and there are many trivial things. Recently, some small fortunes and small things have been lost in the palace, and Concubine Zhang Guifei, who is in charge of the affairs of the harem, is very idle.

In the summer, the town dealt with the lawsuit, and Zhang Guifei had a lot of complaints in her heart. Even among the palace people, there are also people who hold grievances for her.

The concubines who were friends with Concubine Zhang in the palace persuaded her, "Why don't you tell Sister Xu about the matter, and ask her to persuade the Son of Heaven." To put it mildly, before he reached that position, he tossed so many things, which also damaged his reputation and lost his blessings. ”

Zhang Guifei drank tea, her apricot eyes drooped contemptuously, and said sarcastically, "I don't dare to say it-you don't mention these words, she is now the heart and soul of the Son of Heaven." The third princess Liuli chased a rabbit and staggered past her, Zhang Guifei couldn't help but think of the past, "When the glass was full moon last year, I also asked the Son of Heaven for a title, how did the Son of Heaven answer?" ”

'Don't be too greedy', Zhang Guifei still remembers the original words. At that time, there were many people in the palace who made fun of her on this basis, and Concubine Zhang was once disgraced.

"What happened this year? Without saying a word, he gave her a princess of Wuyang - who doesn't know that Liuli, the title of Princess Shuyang, is the light that follows her? The children who were born after six months of marriage didn't know whose seed it was, but they compared the serious golden branches and jade leaves. Zhang Guifei sneered, "In the future, our mother and daughter will have to rely on their mother and daughter to live, how dare you offend her?" ”

"Don't say that, mother." Li Meiren smiled and said, "Doesn't Niangniang still have the eldest son of the emperor?" No matter how powerful she is, even if she gives birth to a prince this time, can she go beyond the elders? ”

Zhang Guifei pursed her lips, and after a while, she lowered her eyes and said lightly, "Where is he my son." ”

Li Meiren lowered her head, a light smile flashed in her eyes, and did not ask any further. only turned to smile and said, "Speaking of Princess Wuyang, have you heard a strange thing?" Seeing that Zhang Guifei was indeed a little curious, Li Meiren leaned over, lowered her voice, and said, "It is said that when Sister Xu gave birth to the child, someone in the delivery room did see that the child was wearing a handle. Somehow, when I hugged the Son of Heaven, I became a baby girl......"

After Li Meiren left, Zhang Guifei went into the house to remove her makeup. Seeing Liuli brandishing the jade Ruyi and beating the rabbit to play, the rabbit was chased and beaten by her and fled in all directions, and the palace was all blocking the rabbit for her. Zhang Guifei became annoyed. cleaned up his daughter, and patiently taught her why she couldn't chase rabbits to play, so he ordered someone to take her down to recite poems.

Liuli is only one and a half years old, I heard that I have to recite poems again, for the rare step and three turns, the small eyes begged so much that the palace couldn't bear it, and Zhang Guifei still refused to relent. In the end, her aunt took her away - she taught Liuli very anxiously, and she couldn't wait to make Liuli master all kinds of calligraphy and painting at once.

The palace people had long been surprised and didn't say anything.

After taking Liuli away, the aunt in charge next to Zhang Guifei stepped forward, but what she said was, "Li Meiren's words, Niangniang just listen to them, but don't be instigated by her." ”

Zhang Guifei chuckled, "I know, she wants to use me as a mallet, and she doesn't have any good intentions at all." Mama rest assured - I know who is friend or foe in this palace. But thinking of the situation of the emperor's eldest son, she couldn't help but think about it, and in the end she still ordered, "You also go and check for me, whether Concubine Xu was born a boy or a girl." ”

The aunt in charge responded, and said, "The people who served in the delivery room that day were all the people from the Son of Heaven and the Ciqiu Palace, I'm afraid it will be difficult to investigate." ”

Zhang Guifei naturally understood. In her opinion, this matter is a lot of criticism, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is chasing after the wind and shadows, and deliberately arranging to frame Xu Si. But a long snack is always right, so he said, "Just ask." After a while she sighed, "If only she had given birth to a girl this time......

The aunt in charge looked at Concubine Zhang and waited for the following. However, Zhang Guifei was very worried, and she didn't say the second half of the sentence in the end.

It's almost August.

In the afternoon of this day, Xu Si fell asleep again.

Ruyi sleeps a lot on weekdays, but he gets up in the afternoon. She has already begun to learn to walk, and although she has to fall once in two or three steps, she has also fallen all the way and walked all the way, and climbed even faster. Not to mention, in the process of long-term struggle with nursing mothers, the ability to escape and dodge has been fully revealed. As they struggled to escape, the nurses had to trot for a while to catch up with her. She was good at hiding, crawling and crawling, and suddenly stopped and sat in the corner, which was enough for the nurses to find Xiao for a long time in a hurry.

Because she refused to take a nap, the nurses could not get hold of her, so they had to take her to play in the shade under the corridor outside the temple.

The afternoon is silent, the sun is soothing, and the hollyhocks bloom in the courtyard. The nurses yawned and barely played with Ruyi, and in order to save effort, they took nine rings for her to play. Ruyi was really attracted - one moment he stuffed his little finger into the circle, and the other time he dragged the chain to the ground like a squirrel, and after knocking for a while, he saw that the chain had not yet opened, so he wanted to stuff it into his mouth. The nurses hurriedly woke up from their stupor, snatched the chain from her hand, and opened it for her to show with their own hands.

Where can Ruyi understand?

After a while, Ruyi was drowsy, but it was the nurses who were addicted to dismantling the chain and dismantling it, and they got together to argue whether the buckle should be solved up or down.

The warm wind blows, and the shadows of the trees are dappled.

Ruyi looked around and saw a cat walking over the guardrail with its tail cocked, and the tuft of white hair on the tip of the tail shook interestingly. Before she knew it, her eyes lit up again, and the cat shook subconsciously, turned her head to meet Ruyi's gaze, and the cold hair stood up from the neck to the tip of the tail. Ruyi raised a hand, stood up and ran to pick the tip of the tail as she crawled. The black cat whimpered and jumped back.

……

When the nurses came back to their senses a little, the four princesses were gone.

Ruyi chased the cat all the way.

She trekked as hard as she could, running and falling and climbing, and when she met the steps, she used her hands and feet to climb over the hill, and although she was covered in mud and dust, her interest did not diminish in the slightest. The cat was afraid of her at first, but later realized that the little girl was not very powerful, so she didn't take her very seriously.

The cat's temperament is as elusive as a baby, and it is clear that Ruyi has been thrown away, but from time to time he runs back to provoke her. As soon as it flirted, Ruyi continued to chase it happily. This person and a cat are just teasing me and chasing me, and gradually get away from the inner sanctum.

The grass and trees in the Ciqiu Hall are flourishing, and there are many tall and dense flowers such as hollyhocks and mallows. Ruyi walks through the flowers while looking for her cat. When she passed through the hollyhock wall, she saw the black cat squatting high on the balcony.

On this day, I felt Xu Si in a dream. For a while, he was forced to watch the torture by King Hailing, and at the same time, he was forced to look up by Li Hu tearing his hair. When I was fourteen years old, the peony blossoms bloomed in the light rain in Jinling, and Xiao Shouye said to her, "I will protect you for the rest of your life." But the voice poured into her ears, and what she heard was clearly Li Hu's mockery, "This well-dressed lady from a prestigious family sleeps no differently......

When he woke up, Xu Si only felt a splitting headache, and cold sweat soaked through his clothes.

It was still early, and the daylight was slanting through the south window. The palace ladies outside seemed to be busy with something, and their steps were in a hurry. Not long after, Gong E came into the house with a panicked look and whispered something in the ear of Xu Si's nurse, Aunt Zhai. Aunt Zhai's face also changed, she turned around to see if Xu Si had woken up, but she was facing Xu Si's gaze.

Xu Si could see that Aunt Zhai was trying to hide it from her. She was short of energy, and she really didn't want to ask more, so she motioned to Aunt Zhai to just go, and ordered, "Bring Ruyi over." ”

- At this point, she just wants to see her daughter.

Aunt Zhai and the palace maids trembled, and when Xu Si saw their looks, his brain buzzed, and he asked uneasily, "...... What's wrong? ”

The bearing terrace in the Ciqiu Hall is two zhang high, almost flush with the eaves. There are spiraling steps around the balcony, but they are only a foot wide.

No one knew how Ruyi climbed up, but when Xu Si and the palace people found her, she was holding on to the immortal pillar standing on the balcony and staggering to her feet, trying to pull the tip of the tail of the black cat squatting on the plate.

She was already unsteady on her feet, and she was in a high place so narrow that she could barely turn around, and as soon as she raised her head, she leaned back.

Xu Si was terrified, and he didn't dare to call Ruyi's name, so he just lined up the hollyhock wall and ran under the bearing terrace.

The black cat on the balcony saw the people, and finally refused to play with Ruyi anymore, so he jumped down from the fairy pillar and stepped on the rockery into the flowers and trees. Ruyi didn't hold the tip of the cat's tail, but leaned on the pillar and looked up the rockery for a while—she thought the cat was teasing her again, so she squatted down and tried to climb down the deck.

However, it was easier to get up and harder to go down, and she tried several angles clumsily, but she couldn't get back to the steps. Unable to hold his balance, he leaned down and almost fell off the pillar. Then she looked under the pillar, and when she saw that it was so high, she showed a shocked expression. I looked at it a little confused.

Xu Si called her name, "Ruyi ......"

Ruyi saw Xu Si, and she was happy and cheerful again, and she was even more anxious to climb down. Xu Si's heart was tormented by fire, and he hurriedly stopped her, "Don't move, good boy...... Don't move, A-Niang will go and save you. ”

She hurriedly arranged her hands - both for people to go and pick up Ruyi on the balcony, and for someone to pick her up below, so that Ruyi would not fall down. She suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly raised her hand to untie her skirt. Fortunately, Aunt Zhai immediately saw through her thoughts, quickly held down her hand, and ordered someone to take the blanket immediately.

However, just as they were in a hurry, the hot wind blew, and Ruyi raised his head and sneezed. She shook her head, lost her balance, and fell from her knees.
