Chapter 92: Admitting Mistakes
Liu Zhao took the child held by Wen Po, and saw that the little baby was just a thin ball in his palm, and the small head was as big as his palm, as if he had a sense, he opened his eyes slightly, and immediately closed them. Although it is small, the nose, eyebrows and eyes are very similar to themselves, and they are very cute.
He has an indescribable feeling, his heart seems to have skipped a warm current, slowly flowing through every corner of the body, holding a small life in his arms, so that his life seems to be poetic and colorful, like a round of sun suddenly appeared in the sky, shining on him, experiencing that wonderful happiness. He looked at the child in a daze, he never got tired of looking at it, his little face shone with a clean light, and those dark and clear eyes opened again, and for a moment they turned into a charming crescent moon, and a smile swept over him, "Look, he smiled, he smiled at me." ”
Liu Zhao was in a surprise and in a hurry, he could truly understand the full meaning of being a first-time father, and the Empress Dowager Dou said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this child is very similar to when you were young, you are so small and small, the queen mother looks at you like this, every time you laugh, it makes the mourning family feel that the whole body is full of energy, look, what a good child." ”
The little life opened its mouth, as if chewing, pursed its small mouth, and its soft little face suddenly squeezed into a ball, and "quack" began to cry. "This, this, what's going on?"
Liu Zhao panicked and hurriedly asked Wen Po. Wen Po smiled: "Don't worry, the little prince is hungry." The nurse has already been prepared, and she is already waiting outside, seeing that the little prince is hungry so soon, she must be strong! ”
When Song Jun woke up, the curtain was lowered, her lips were very dry, she shouted in a low voice, only to hear Xiao Huixin's voice say, "Niangniang." You're awake! The curtain was raised, and Xiao Huixin came to her with a bowl of water.
"Little Huixin!" A smile appeared on Song Jun's face, and she was finally able to call out her name, which seemed to be a long time ago.
"Niangniang, drink saliva, you have been asleep for three whole days, and the slaves and maids are dying. The imperial doctor only asked to take ginseng soup and give you a sigh of relief. The slave doesn't know how many times she cried! ”
Song Jun was helped up by her and fed a few mouthfuls of water. Feeling that her throat was on fire, she weakly took her hand and asked, "What about the child?" ”
"The child was taken away by the emperor and the queen mother, and the emperor ordered. When the mother wakes up, send someone to tell you! Xiao Huixin took the bowl and helped her lie down, while helping her cover the quilt. He said.
"Why take the child, that's my child." Song Jun was hoarse. I wanted to shout, but I felt powerless, and my whole body was weak.
"Niangniang, the slave looks at the emperor. I like the little prince very much, since I said that I would tell him, it means that the emperor has the intention of forgiving the mother. Xiao Huixin looked at Song Jun's thin and pointed chin. Said distressedly.
"Will the emperor forgive me?" Song Jun's expression was very solemn, and he sighed long in his heart.
"That's right. The slave and maid asked the attendant to report to the emperor. Xiaohui hurriedly ran out of the door, explained a few words to the waiter at the door, and came back to accompany Song Jun, but saw her fall asleep again, knowing that she was too weak and tired, so she had to smile bitterly.
When Liu Zhao heard the report, he knew that Song Jun had woken up, so he turned his head and asked Cai Lun, "Chang Shi, should I go to meet Song Guiren?" ”
"Long live, the old minister only knows one thing, his mother is the best!" Cai Lun replied with a stiff neck.
"You old slippery head, you mean let me go see her! I have to let her out! Liu Zhao put his hands behind his back and walked a few steps back and forth under the corridor.
"The old minister didn't say that, this is what His Majesty said, but Your Majesty looked at the prince of Qinghe and understood, this is not an obvious example." Cai Lun still replied quietly.
"But Song Guiren is she, she is the murderer of Li Meiren. I can't tolerate her. Liu Zhao gritted his teeth and said.
"Your Majesty, the mother is anxious to protect her son, this is a matter of course, although the means are excessive, but it is also that Li Mei's body is too weak, and the Tang nobles in the palace in the palace have slipped a few times before, and they are fine. It can't all be her fault, the emperor thinks about it, she is alone in the cold palace, without food or clothing, and can give birth to a child, this is the nature of a mother. Cai Lun's words made Liu Zhao stop, looked at a few pine trees in the yard, and muttered, "I think again!" ”
"Long live, no one is at fault, she has now given birth to a prince for the emperor, this is a great achievement, and the merit will be made up, if you can recognize the mistake, isn't it all happy, the emperor will also punish her slightly, and lower her grade, that is." Although Cai Lun couldn't say anything, he laid out the road for Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao nodded, "What Chang Shi said is reasonable!" Well, I'm going to meet her and see what she has to say! ”
Cai Lun smiled, didn't say anything, walked out, and went to prepare for the ride.
Liu Zhao sat in front of Song Jun's bed, and saw that she was still sleeping sweetly, her thin eyebrows were slightly frowned, her long eyelashes formed two dark shadows on her face, her complexion was pale, her face was thin, her chin was pointed, and she looked pitifully weak. Not only did he let out a long sigh and his eyes fell on Xiao Huixin's body.
Xiao Hui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Niangniang woke up, asked the child, and when I went to report the news, I fell asleep again." The emperor and the things that the mother eats every day will not be eaten by the pigs, but the mother eats them all, just so that the child can survive. Emperor! When Xiao Huixin said this, tears fell and she wiped it with her hands!
Liu Zhao sighed and said, "I don't know this, but I can't complain about others." ”
Song Jun heard the voice, opened his eyes and saw that it was Liu Zhao sitting in front of the bed, so he struggled to get up, Liu Zhao pressed her to lie down, and said: "You lie down and talk, it's okay, I know that you are very weak after giving birth." You have given birth to a prince for me, and this is a great achievement. I will reward you when I turn around! ”
"Your Majesty!" Song Jun smiled in a trance: "Your Majesty, what's the use of the concubine asking for so many rewards in this cold palace, the concubine only asks the emperor to return the child to me, and the concubine is willing to die even if she dies." ”
"Do you regret what happened?" Liu Zhao turned his head, looked at the green outside the window, and asked lightly.
"Huh!" Song Jun smiled bitterly, "No one is born with a penchant for killing, how can I not regret it, but I know that the few things I use are extremely light." Even if there was something, it was just a slippery tire, and I didn't expect her to die. I really didn't mean to hurt her. In this cold palace, the concubine often sits in front of the window thinking about things, and often dreams of Li Meiren at night, standing by my side, always crying very sadly. The concubine hugged her and cried. Sometimes I cried until dawn. The concubine thought that she also had a child. Why is it that your own children are the meat of the heart, but other people's children are not? Your Majesty, the concubines felt that the emperor's punishment of the concubines was not enough. It's just that the emperor can punish the concubines as much as he wants, don't take the children away, the concubines can survive, this is the only hope. "She was weak. At this point, I was already in tears, and I couldn't say any more.
"Alas! I wouldn't want to do that. If you are weak, don't speak, rest well, and I will have a will tomorrow!" He stood up. Walk outside.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Song Jun struggled to hold him, but he was empty. Liu Zhao had already walked out of the apse and disappeared without a trace.
"Your Majesty. Give me back the baby! Song Jun's tears slipped down again, his heart ached, and he passed out again.
The next day, Liu Zhao decreed that Song Jun was demoted to a maid, changed the name of Qinyuan to the Hall of Repentance, gave Song Jun to live, and the prince handed it over to her to support.
As soon as the decree was made, there was immediately a lot of discussion in the palace, and the most unacceptable ones were the Yuan sisters and the Yin nobles. When Yin Li heard the news, she said to the nurse Zheng: "The emperor is still soft-hearted, it seems that the heir is still more important than everything." ”
Zheng said: "Niangniang has been waiting for the emperor for more than a year, why has there been no movement in the stomach, if Niangniang is pregnant and gives birth to the prince, after all, it is the main throne, and there is still hope in the future." ”
"But my stomach just doesn't fight." Yin Li was so angry that she threw the half-embroidered embroidery in her hand to the ground.
"Noble, I heard that there are some home remedies outside the palace, it is better for you to ask the lord and lady to help find them, but this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed in the palace, so it is better to avoid some people and be careful." Zheng came up with an idea and looked at Yin Li tentatively.
Yin Li stared at the embroidery he threw on the ground, the head of the dragon and phoenix was only half embroidered, and he thought for a while, and then gritted his teeth and said: "That's it, when is it, everyone in the palace knows that I have the most favor, but I haven't been pregnant for a long time, this is a joke watching me." If I don't think about it, sooner or later they will climb on my head. Recently, the emperor has always gone to the Yuan sisters, as long as one of the two of them is pregnant, my position in the palace is in jeopardy. Nurse, I can't take care of that, tomorrow morning, I will give you a waist card out of the palace, you go back to explain the situation to my parents, no matter what the result is in three days, you will go out of the palace again. ”
"Whoa!"
The next day, Zheng went out of the palace and met Yinli's mother, Deng. Deng sat gracefully on the brocade couch behind the crystal curtain, and the four maids were waiting beside her, and when they saw her come in, they smiled slightly.
"Go down first!" She waved her hand slightly, and several maids hurriedly responded with a "whoosh", and neatly fished out. Zheng was just about to salute, and Deng said: "Excuse me, it's all my own family, what kind of rules!" Sit down, why did the noble man let you out of the palace? ”
"Alas! Madam, you've heard about what happened in the palace these days! Zheng was no longer polite, took a sip of tea, and ate some more pastries.
"Isn't it that Song Guiren who was beaten into the cold palace gave birth to a prince to the emperor, and was demoted to a maid, this matter is spread in and out of the palace, there is nothing I don't know, why are the nobles bothered about this?" Deng glanced at Zheng and felt that this minion had become more presumptuous than before since entering the palace.
"Exactly, the noble man has been favored for more than a year since he entered the palace, but this stomach has not moved at all, I am really anxious!"
"Li'er is still young, I wonder if it is normal for menstruation to be pregnant yet?" Deng asked in a low voice.
"The menstrual affairs are all good, and the imperial doctor in the palace also asked, only saying that there is no disease!"
Deng Shi also picked up the tea cup, and his long jade dankou fingers gently picked up the white tea lid, blew a breath, and took a small sip of this elegant light, before he said: "Li'er is too anxious, this kind of thing can't be rushed." There are a lot of locks in the palace, and she is too young, so she is too tired! ”
She picked out another chrysanthemum-shaped snack, handed it to Zheng, and asked casually: "How has the emperor been to Li'er recently, is he still as diligent as before?" ”
"This, the Yuan sisters have also been very favored recently, the nobleman is worried, one of the two daughters is pregnant, and the status of the nobleman is afraid that it will be affected, madam, I mean, there are a lot of recipes outside the palace, can they be brought into the palace?"
Deng Shi was startled, and almost threw away the jade cup in his hand, his face changed, "Zheng, this matter can be big or small, if someone is present, it is a capital crime to bring medicine into the palace privately?" How many heads do you have? (To be continued)
