"Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says, Niu Hulu's virtuous and virtuous lady, now I am me, extending the heirs, and I am specially named Concubine Xi, Qin this." After my father-in-law announced it, I instantly collapsed: Concubine Xi, I really became Concubine Xi.

"Concubine Xi, please accept the order." My father-in-law said with a smile next to him.

I slowly got up and took it, "Grandpa Xie." ”

"The minion retired first." Father-in-law.

"Father-in-law walks slowly." My mind went a little blank.

I walked to the table with the holy decree: Concubine Xi, am I really so long-lived, I will live until Hongli succeeds to the throne and has a full house of children and grandchildren.

How ironic it is, I wanted to leave the palace, but God gave me an excuse that I could never leave, "Ah." "I was a little dizzy, and I sat in my chair in a daze: I couldn't leave this Forbidden City in my life.

Soon, the queen asked the people of the Internal Affairs Office to send the things equipped for the concubine, I was bored all day, and came to the pavilion to sit, what I can do every day now is to be in a daze, because I have despaired of life.

"Sister Joe." Shilan walked over, and I stood up and saluted him. "Xiaolan, why are you here?" I sat back in my seat.

"Sister Qiao, I'm worried about you." Selan.

"Don't worry, the emperor won't do anything to me, now that I'm living like this, it's the emperor's biggest punishment for me." I didn't have any expression on my face.

"Sister Qiao, but your child ......" Xiaolan didn't know why I looked so wooden, and lowered my head and was very worried.

I touched my belly, and I said firmly: "I will use my life to protect him, Shilan, can you let Brother Ying find a reliable imperial doctor to check my pulse from time to time." ”

"I see." Selan.

When I was eating, I asked the doctor to help me check all the dishes in the bowl first.

Imperial Doctor: "Concubine Xi, the food is fine." ”

I nodded, sat down and ate, and when the fetal pill was delivered, I also let the doctor smell it. Drink it if it's fine.

However, the doctor still suggested: "Niangniang, your body is already damaged, and your mood has been low recently, which is not conducive to protecting the fetus, I hope Niangniang will maintain a happy mood, otherwise, it will be difficult to protect the dragon fetus." ”

"Thank you, Doctor." I thought that there was nothing happier to be in the palace than to see Hongli.

The next day, I was walking on the road and saw a few people kneeling not far away, and the first person I saw kneeling was the eighth master. I asked the maid next to me, "What did the eighth master do wrong?" ”

"The slave maid heard from her father-in-law that it was the eighth master who was responsible for setting up a dressing tent in front of the gate, and the smell of paint was too strong, and she was punished by the emperor." Servant girl.

For such a trivial matter, the emperor made a big fuss.

I came to the Emperor's Heart Cultivation Palace, and the people went to spread the word to the Emperor, and the Emperor also said to let me in.

"Your Majesty." I saluted.

"Sit down." The emperor said coldly: "Why, for so many days, you have never taken the initiative to find me, what is the matter today." ”

"I'd like to meet Hongli." I'll just say it bluntly.

The emperor glanced at me: it turned out that he was not interceding for the starling.

The emperor continued to look at the folds: "Hongli, it's time to come back, taught by this mother." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the concubine has retired." I wanted to leave right away after saying that.

The emperor nodded, glanced at my back, and thoughtfully.

When the eighth master knelt until the night, he was the only one, and when the hour had come, the eighth master slowly got up, and his already numb feet were a little swaying.

I came over and hugged the eighth master: "Eighth master." ”

"Concubine Xi." The eighth master saluted.

"Eighth Master, between you and me, there is no need to be polite." I.

"Hmph...... Unexpectedly, now you are Concubine Xi, and our brothers have become down-and-out. The eighth master sighed with some emotion.

"The things of life are changing rapidly, Eighth Master, cherish the days with your family." I took out the flute in my arms and handed it to the eighth master: "If the ninth master comes back in the future, please trouble the eighth master to hand this over to the ninth master, just say that I am already on the side of the fourth master, if he doesn't believe it, just tell him that I am also for Hongli." ”

The eighth master took it and took a look. can only obey the arrangement of fate: "Sometimes if you lose the opportunity, you lose everything." The eighth master smiled bitterly: "I'm leaving." ”

I nodded, and turned to leave on my own.

I sat on the swing on the side of the path, and I was always in a daze for no reason, "The child greets E-niang." Mr. Hongli came over, knelt down and said.

"Hongli, come to Eniang's side." I.

"Yes." Hongli walked up to me and sat down.

I touched Hongli's head, "Hongli has grown taller again, isn't it?" ”

"Well, Eniang, Huang Ama has allowed me to stay in the palace to study, so that I can often come to greet Eniang, and I can often come to talk to my younger brothers and sisters in Eniang's belly." Hongli said happily.

I touched my belly, but I just smiled bitterly, "You are Eniang's greatest hope in this palace." "I finally smiled faintly myself, and it came from the heart." Listen to E-Niang's endorsement..."

"Okay, then the kid will have Qu Yuan's "Lisao", the Miao descendant of Emperor Gaoyang, and the emperor will be called Boyong; Seti Zhen is in Meng Xi, but Geng Yin and I surrender; The emperor is more than the first degree, and Zhao Xiyu is famous for ......"

The emperor stood in the distance, and when he saw me, who had been depressed for so many days, he finally had a smile, and he felt that the stone in his heart couldn't help but let go.

Finally in winter, the ninth master still didn't know about my pregnancy, and I was very relieved. I had someone set up a swing in the yard for me, and I was fine, so I sat on the swing and looked at the snow on the ground, and I thought that such a deserted scene should be surrounded by snow.

"Ninth Master, Ninth Master, we haven't reported it yet......" Father-in-law called after Ninth Master.

I "jumped" up, saw the bearded Ninth Master, and saw the father-in-law next to me, I said, "Everyone go down." ”

"Yes." After everybody goes down.

The ninth master ran to me and hugged me, "Brother Xi heard that Concubine Xi was pregnant, so I came to congratulate her." ”

"Thank you, Ninth Master." I wanted to hug Jiu Ye at this time and tell us that this was our child, but I didn't dare to hug Jiu Ye, because, I know, we can't do it.

I saw the Ninth Master slowly come over and put his hand on my stomach.

"It's been four months." Ninth Master.

I watched him touch my belly, but in my heart I kept saying: Child, this is your Amma, take a good look at your Amma, maybe when you grow up, you will never remember.

But I couldn't let him touch it all the time, so I shook off the ninth master's hand and said, "Ninth master, please respect yourself, I am now Concubine Xi." ”

"No, I know, you were coerced by the fourth brother, Xiaohai told me, you haven't laughed in the palace, I can take you and your children to the border, or, go farther, so that the fourth brother can't find me......" The ninth master said very excitedly.

"No, my identity makes me can't, and your identity makes you can't, we can only follow the established track......" The two lines of tears couldn't stop flowing.

"There is nothing to stipulate, you ...... with me" Jiu Ye kept holding my hand......

"You killed the fourth sister...... Don't you remember? Back then, you snatched a few letters from a man in black and severely injured him, she is the fourth sister, the fourth sister is my Jinlan sister, I will not be with a murderer......" I pretended to be very ruthless and said.

"Yes," the Ninth Master remembered something, "but I was unintentional, you know I was ...... at the time"

"Whether you have a heart or not, if you are wrong, you are wrong...... Let's go, here are my children, I won't go......" I don't want to turn around and don't want to see that I'm actually sad too.

"It's been so long, can't you forgive me? We have experienced more than ten years of testing, and it is not easy to be together...... "Jiu Ye is getting closer step by step.

"Because I still like the emperor, I want to be Concubine Xi......" I have said so many words without a bottom line, just praying that the ninth master can retreat from the difficulty.

The Ninth Master stopped, "Haha...... Actually, I should have known that after you came back, I have been unwilling to commit to me because I still have the fourth brother in my heart, so it's good, he is his emperor, and you are your mother...."The ninth master glanced at me and raised his hand to salute: "Brother Chen, farewell." "Every word of the ninth master was very loud, and I turned around and saw his back walking by.

"Uh......" Jiu Ye's blood gushed straight out, spitting on the vast white snow, looking particularly red......

But the ninth master still dragged his feet and walked out step by step.

I knelt on the ground with weak legs: I'm sorry, it's all an excuse, what I like is you, it's you......

"Ah............h

My stomach also suddenly hurt very much, and I felt that the liquid left under my feet was also a little hot, and I was very scared if something had happened to my child.

Since that day, I have been seriously ill, the child is gone, and I have been bedridden, Hongli has been sitting on my bedside to serve, and the Thirteenth Master is also watching me.

"Why is it so dark?" When I woke up, I felt that the room was very dark, and only some could be seen......

"E-niang, the imperial doctor said that there is something wrong with your eyes and you may be blind, but E-niang, don't be afraid, the child will always be by your side......" Hongli said with a decoction.

It's okay if you can't see it, out of sight and out of mind.

"Hongli, you go out first, I'll talk to your mother." Thirteen masters.

"Yes, Eniang, I'll let Huang Ama come to see you." After Hongli finished speaking, he pulled his calf and left.

After Hongli left, the thirteenth master sat down and said: "Shu Qiao, I know that you have a lot of grievances in your heart, but no matter how wronged you are, you have to save your life, although the child is gone, there will still be one in the future." ”

"Thirteenth Master, what is the Ninth Master doing?" I interrupted the Thirteenth Master.

The Thirteenth Master sighed, but replied truthfully: "The ninth brother was scolded by the imperial brother and punished to kneel at the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace. ”

"How long have you been on your knees?" I asked.

The Thirteenth Master hesitated, "Don't worry, Brother Starling has said that he will let Brother Nine go back to his Xining station in a few days." ”

"Thirteenth Master, my brother Xiaohai should be back, you can help me find him." I.

"Okay, I will." The Thirteenth Master agreed.

"Is your mother's health really that bad?" The emperor asked worriedly.

"The imperial doctor said that Eniang's eyes were not well adjusted during the previous confinement and this miscarriage, and the mood fluctuations were too great, which led to the deterioration of the hidden eye disease."

Hongli: "Huang Ama, E-Niang still has a low-grade fever, go and take a look." ”

Although Yongzheng hates this woman in his heart, he also does this kind of thing because he loves this woman.

Therefore, no matter how restrained the crowd was, they still couldn't help but pass.

Yongzheng pushed open the door, walked in, looked at me lying on the bed and closed his eyes, but did not speak, but sat down slowly.

I felt a little strange movement next to the bed, so I asked, "Xiaohai, is that you?" ”

"It's me," Yongzheng said coldly, "I heard that the ninth brother came to your palace, and you had a miscarriage, and it was okay to have a miscarriage, but I told you, if you die because of him, I will let him bury you soon." ”

"Heh..."I smiled bitterly, "Don't worry, I will live a long life, and I will stay in this deep palace for the rest of my life, and I can't be with the Ninth Master......"

"If you know, it's good." Yongzheng unconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to wipe away the tears that flowed out unconsciously for me, but after thinking for a while, he still withdrew his hand, "You have a good rest, I'll go first." ”

I didn't speak, I still lay down quietly: I'm sorry, baby, E-Niang still can't protect you.

"Sister, I'm here." Xiaohai sat next to me and held my hand.

"Xiaohai, there are no close people around my sister, so I want you to accompany me." I said.

"Well," Xiao Hai responded, "Sister, look who's coming." ”

"Fool, I can't see it now." I tried to make myself smile.

"Sister, I'm Xueyi." Xueyi was dressed in men's clothes and appeared in my room, of course, which I couldn't see.

"Xueyi, how are you doing?" I was a little excited to suddenly see so many relatives.

"Yes, that's good." Xueyi also shed tears, "Aren't you Concubine Xi?" How can you not take care of yourself. ”

"It's okay, it'll be fine soon." I said.

They didn't talk to me much because I really didn't have the power to say more.

"It's cold outside, sister, you can go in." Xueyi sat with me on the swing and put another cloak on me.

"Now, I can only see a little light outside, and you just let me stay a little longer, maybe one day, I won't see it." I smiled slightly, "Ahem, ahem......"

"Look at you, the cold is not completely cured, let's go in......" Xueyi really can't bear to have a cold, and he wants to stay outside so toughly.

"Don't ......," I shook my head, refusing.

My cold seemed to be getting worse day by day, and the doctor came to diagnose it again, "Niangniang, your illness has infected your lungs, if Niangniang's mood is still so low, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I will have an extra month to live." ”

"Doctor, is there no other way?" Xiao Hai asked anxiously.

"The recovery of the body is also related to the mood, if the mother has been in poor health, even if Hua Tuo is alive, it will not help to make up for it." Tai Doctor.

"Let's go down." Xiao Hai reprimanded.

I held Xueyi's hands and knew that they should be sad now: it is impossible for me to live anymore now, but Concubine Xi should be the future queen mother, and it is impossible for her to die early. (I thought for a moment) Could it be that Xueyi is the real Concubine Xi?

I thought about it for a long time and asked, "Xueyi, can you help me do something." ”

"What's the matter?" Xueyi held back her grief.

"Help me, be Concubine Xi's mother......" I squeezed out these words: I really want to see the ninth master again.

"Sister, are you going to see the Ninth Master?" Xueyi squeezed out these words.

Shu Qiao just nodded, Xueyi was very entangled, he obviously liked the Ninth Master, but, looking at Shu Qiao's appearance, even if he loved the Ninth Master again, he had to let go and fulfill the two people he loved: "I promise you." (To be continued.) )
