Chapter 1: Open your eyes again, and the past is gone
I don't know where I am now, it's pitch black all around me and it feels like I'm floating in the water, and it didn't take long for an external force to push down from my side, and I suddenly felt a chill coming, and I was wrapped in something warm and soft, my eyes couldn't open and I didn't know what was going on, my consciousness was constantly transmitting information, I only knew that I was born, and I couldn't tell why I knew it, and the word 'birth' flashed in my mind, and I didn't remember my name, and my mind was in chaos.
"Born, born." Wen Po happily hugged the wrinkled child who had just been born out of the delivery room to report the good news.
"Young Master or Miss?" The man outside the door waited for a long time, and when he saw Wen Po holding the child and coming out a few steps forward to take a look.
"Congratulations to Xiangye for being a daughter." Wen Po was so happy that her eyes were about to squint into a slit, if nothing else, for the child in her hand, the person who delivered the baby was not an ordinary family, but the prime minister's mansion of the powerful family, and now she could make a lot of money, and she made it.
The man secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was the girl, and carefully stepped forward to hug the child, looking at the child's wrinkled and red face, and his heart calmed down for a while.
"Master, Yu Gongzi is here." The personal servant Ah Qi ran to report the news, and not far behind him, the two walked briskly one after the other.
"Let me see." Yu Gongzi, who came in a hurry, stepped forward and carefully took the baby in Prime Minister Ouyang Ye's arms, and looked at the child who hadn't opened his eyes happily and said, "Is it a man or a woman?" ”
"Daughter." Ouyang Ye looked at the smiling Yu Gongzi and sighed in his heart.
"Hello girl." Yu Gongzi was full of smiles and stared at the little one in his arms.
Another stable woman in the delivery room rushed out of the door and said in a panic: "Oh no, Madame's blood collapsed, I can't stop it!" ”
The people outside the house were shocked when they heard this, Yu Gongzi's face changed suddenly, and he was about to break in directly in front of the door after a few steps, Wen Po was startled by the man's behavior and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "The delivery room is not clean, and men should not enter." ”
Ouyang Ye was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately ordered someone to call the doctor who was invited in advance in the courtyard next to him, while turning around and persuading Yu Gongzi.
The doctor hurried over, carried the medicine box and entered the back room, and after a moment of effort, he shook his head and came out, sighing, "Madame, I'm afraid I'm going to die." ”
Seeing this, Ouyang Ye immediately dismissed the subordinates around him, it seemed that the midwife in charge of the delivery in front of him could not stay, leaving the people brought by the little girl A Qi and Yu Gongzi to guard outside, and he also followed in.
The smell of blood in the delivery room was tangy, and the strong smell of blood made Yu Gongzi difficult to restrain himself, and he paced to the bed in a few steps and whispered to the pale woman: "Qiu'er." ”
The woman on the bed seemed to hear the low call and opened the tired man's double curtains, and looked for a joy in her heart, the person in front of her was what she desperately wanted to see, "Brother Yu." ”
"Qiu'er." Yu Gongzi sat on the edge of the bed regardless of the mess on the bed, carefully revealing the little face of the baby in his arms, and said softly to the woman on the bed: "Look, our child is a girl, how beautiful." ”
The woman looked at the child and smiled softly, knowing in her heart that her time was running out, and she didn't even have the strength to hold the child, and she was very satisfied to see the child safe before she died, and the man she loved sat beside her and held her hand.
"Famous." The woman wanted to hear the child's name at the last moment.
Yu Gongzi endured his heartache and said: "Xi Dynasty, called Xi Dynasty, brings the bright rising sun." This is his deep blessing to the child.
"Okay, Shiochao, our child." The woman smiled, took a breath and said, "Ming'er, okay?" "It's a pity that I'm afraid I won't see my other child again.
"He's good, white and chubby." Yu Gongzi snorted and said: "I will take care of the two children, you, you ......" The words couldn't be said again.
"Brother Yu, I know, I don't have time." The woman's voice became extremely slow, and she stopped to catch her breath after saying a few words: "Our daughter, in the future, must sue her, she also has a brother, brother and sister, must, recognize each other." ”
"I understand that I won't let their siblings separate." Yu Gongzi agreed to the woman's request, and he didn't want the two children to be born because they were in two places.
"Then, I, just, rest assured." The words fell, and the woman closed her eyes in reassurance.
"Qiu'er!" Yu Gongzi shed tears from his heart, his most beloved woman left him at the age of twenty-five, God, how could it be so unfair.
Prime Minister Ouyang Ye sighed outside, and waited for a while before walking in and persuading: "Your Majesty, please mourn." "When he entered, he didn't look at the woman on the bed, even though she was his nominal wife.
Yu Gongzi is today's son Mu Haoyu, holding the child in his arms and lightly instructed: "Her name is Xichao, you have to treat her well, and I will pick her up after a while." ”
"Your Majesty." Ouyang Ye was quite surprised, he thought that this child would live in the mansion as the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he never thought that the emperor would take him back to the palace, "No!" He disagreed, the child was brought back without a reasonable identity, not to mention, how could he live in the dangerous palace, let alone ......
"I can't help it." Mu Haoyu couldn't refuse: "I will find a way to deal with the matter of identity." "His children cannot be raised in someone else's house, even if the person is still loyal to his courtiers, and he does not want his children to grow up to be called fathers.
Seeing this, Ouyang Ye didn't persuade again, and went to call the people outside to come in and clean up, and prepare for the aftermath to freshen up and change clothes.
Mu Haoyu was reluctant to let go of the child, and finally let go after watching it over and over again, and returned to the palace with someone first, he secretly left the palace, and there was not much time to stay outside the palace.
Lin Wanqiu, the wife of the prime minister in the thirty-seventh year of Yong'an, died on the last day of this late autumn.
A woman in the Prime Minister's Mansion Shui Yue Ju gloated while munching on melon seeds: "That slut is finally dead, it's a pity that a little slut is left." ”
Mother Wang, who was beside her, looked nervously outside, fearing that the wall would have an ear and said, "My madam, it's okay now, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion will be Madame's in the future." Overjoyed, he poured a cup of fragrant tea for the woman.
In the study, Ouyang Ye instructed Ah Qi to find a trustworthy nurse to take care of the newborn child.
After a series of birth changes, the little baby Xi Chao who was lying on the bed clearly knew that his biological father was the emperor, and the baby's body and easily sleepy fell asleep for a while.
Xi Chao opened her eyes the next day, and observed the surrounding layout in a small area, antique, and she knew what the word meant when it appeared in her head, but she didn't know where the word came from. The titular prime minister's father came to see her and sent two maids and a nurse to take care of herself.
Human milk is really not delicious, this is Xi Chao's deep experience in the past two days, if she is a real baby to the point where she can ignore the fishy smell of human milk, anyway, she has nothing to eat at this time.
After a few more days, Liu Ru, the concubine who was the only woman in the Prime Minister's Mansion, twisted her eyebrows and talked about one thing with the mother next to her: "What does the master mean, why don't you put that little by my side to raise you?" "It's been days, and there's not been any movement.
"Xiang Ye doesn't want to put that little by his side and raise it personally, right?" Wang Ma said uncertainly: "Or do you just come out and raise it?" ”
"Hmph, what kind of children will he take with a big man." Liu Ru sneered: "If he really dares to raise that little scumbag, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
Mother Wang felt a chill in her heart and guessed what Aunt Liu meant: "Madame should also think about the eldest lady." ”
"Yes, even for Yun'er, I won't let that little live." Liu Ru's cold and vicious eyes made people shudder.
Xichao is much better than the average baby, and the maid who takes care of her has a deep understanding, she doesn't laugh or make trouble most of the time when she sleeps, and she will cry twice when she eats and drinks Lazar, which makes people feel very relieved.
There were two nights when Emperor Yu, the biological father of the Xi Dynasty, came to see her, and she was not sleepy after a day's sleep, and looked at her father who was holding her and smiling lovingly with dark eyes.
"Xiao Xichao, father's heart and soul baby." Mu Wuyu couldn't help but kiss the little baby's red face, which looked much better than the wrinkled little face when he was born, because these eyes looked like himself.
"Wait a few more days, and you will be able to see my father every day." Mu Haoyu has already thought of countermeasures, put aside the issue of identity first, first use the identity of the prime minister's daughter, and wait for the child to pave the way when he is older, and the child will be brought back to be raised by his side first.
Go to the palace, Xi Chao thinks so, it's okay, her father won't hurt herself, anyway, she is a little baby now and can't do anything.
Mu Wuyu reluctantly left, and the Xi Dynasty also reached the time of pan sleep.
Aunt Liu was serving Ouyang Ye to wash up, and the Liu family was very good at looking at people's faces, otherwise she would not be the only concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion, seeing that Ouyang Ye's face was calm, he asked about the baby.
"Master, is the second lady going to keep it like this all the time?" Aunt Liu asked tentatively, even if she is the concubine of the master, she must call the little girl who has just been born as a young lady, the concubine is just a slave maid, and her identity is naturally not as good as that of the young lady, this is the difference in status that creates a strict hierarchy.
"How?" What the Liu family was thinking about Ouyang Ye, as the prime minister, would not be unclear, he was waiting for what the Liu family was going to say next.
"It's not good to always let the maid take it, now the child is still young and can't see anything, if the child grows up in the future, it is not conducive to the child's upbringing, after all, it is the first daughter of the master, and the master sees if it is better to raise it by the concubine's side." Aunt Liu pondered carefully before saying something that did not make Ouyang Ye suspicious: "There is Yun'er by the concubine's side, and there is also a playmate when you get together, right?" "Raising a child by her side can not only reflect her virtuousness, but also 'raise' her daughter-in-law well, paving the way for her daughter.
Ouyang Ye glanced at the Liu family, who lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to his eyes, and said, "You still have to worry about the housework in the house, let the child go in advance." "There was no promise and no outright refusal.
Aunt Liu's heart tightened when she heard this, afraid that Ouyang Ye would notice her thoughts, so she smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, let the nurse take care of it first." "This matter is not mentioned.
Wow, the teacup shattered to the ground, Wang Ma carefully checked whether there was anyone outside the door, closed the door and window before she opened her mouth to persuade: "Madam, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Hmph, it's not that little." Aunt Liu was so angry that she dropped another teacup and snorted: "Last night, I asked the master if the little could be put in my house to raise, who would have thought that the master said that I would let me put it first if I took care of the housework, isn't it obvious that I didn't take it to heart." How could she not be angry, the opportunity to get her hands flew.
"Madame, don't you refuse?" Wang's mother persuaded: "The child is still young, so he is not in a hurry. ”
"I'm afraid that the master will really take the little with him." How can Aunt Liu not be in a hurry, the little is the daughter of the house, and the identity of the master is naturally different, so what about her Yun'er, do you have to endure it everywhere.
"Madame, don't be angry." Wang Ma said: "Even if the prime minister wants to raise it himself, he doesn't have that time, usually the court doesn't say that he has official affairs to take care of it, and the lady can take advantage of this to raise it personally, which is not a matter of course." ”
Aunt Liu thought about it, it was true, she was too hasty, and she took a sip of tea and said, "I can't wait for the master to really have that plan." "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, now the child is still young**, it's really difficult to get older.
Mother Wang naturally understood the meaning of Aunt Liu's words, and thought for a while: "There are only two maids and a nurse over there to take care of, it is not impossible to really make some small moves, the key is how not to be noticed by others, and it is Xiangye." ”
"Indeed." Aunt Liu lowered her eyes and secretly paid Ouyang Ye is not as peaceful as she seems, otherwise how could she be in the position of prime minister for so many years.
"You might as well start with the two rings." Wang Ma said: "Let's see if it's someone under Xiangye." ”
"That's fine." Aunt Liu nodded and agreed: "Nurse, you go and find out." ”
"Yes." Wang Ma responded: "This matter is not urgent. ”
"Hmm." With a plan, Aunt Liu can be considered to be more balanced, as long as something happens to the little, she can get benefits regardless of whether she lives or dies, and if she dies, it will be better, her Yun'er will be the only eldest lady in the house, and in the future, her mother will not be able to capture the position of the daughter's wife.
"Go, ask the nurse to bring Yun'er over." In the past two days, she was taken advantage of by the little scumbag, and almost ignored her baby daughter, now Yun'er is two years old, and she will grow up in a few years, which of her daughters is worse than her daughter-in-law, hum wait and see, there will be a few days of peace.
