But she couldn't sleep, a pair of eyes aimed at his face, the scorching temperature made the man with his eyes closed feel it, opened his eyes in an uproar, and couldn't help but frown lightly and asked: "Why don't you sleep, if the emperor doesn't rest well, see if I don't punish you." ”

"Si'er can't sleep." Hmph, it's the emperor who opens his mouth and closes his mouth, and he really doesn't care about her at all, Dou Lianyi was in a hurry, pointing to the burning candle: "It's too bright, so that people can't sleep peacefully." ”

As he spoke, he leaned up and was about to call someone to reduce or extinguish, but he held him down: "I'll go." It was a moment of warmth, and he didn't want outsiders to come in and ruin it.

Dou Lianyi lay on the bed with peace of mind, watching her emperor get out of bed in person, walking over with strange and charming steps, blowing out the candles one by one, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.

"Loneliness, are you there?"

Her eyes had not yet adjusted to the darkness, it was pitch black in front of her, and the room was so quiet, and she suddenly became afraid.

"I'm here."

A pair of powerful arms took her into his arms, and such a calm voice sounded in his ears, Dou Lianyi suddenly felt relieved, with him in this life, he is not afraid of any ups and downs.

In a blink of an eye, the Queen Mother's birthday is approaching, this is the first birthday of the Queen Mother's return to Luan, and it is the emperor's decision to vigorously handle it, and the palace is busy in order to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday.

The harem concubines racked their brains in order to choose gifts, thinking of winning the favor of the queen mother in one fell swoop, and then gaining the emperor's favor.

Dou Lianyi didn't think about it so much, but whether it was for the emperor or because of the past with the Queen Mother, she wanted to do her best, thinking about it, the Empress Dowager Xiaoren sincerely believed in Buddhism, so she planned to copy a volume of Buddhist scriptures and present it to the old man.

But now that she is more than two months pregnant, it is the time when the joy is the worst, and this time it is even stricter than the last time, so much so that she still joked with him, saying that she must be a prince, otherwise how could she be so noisy.

"My son, don't be naughty and make your mother work so hard." When he heard this, he immediately pointed to her stomach and made a serious will.

Gegege.

She fell on the table laughing, causing a surge of stomach acid, and retching for a while before it subsided.

Xuan Lili was very worried, and invited Xu and Li to see the two imperial doctors, and they both said that each pregnant woman has a different physique, and the pregnancy phase is also different, and even some pregnant women are harmed from beginning to end, which is a normal phenomenon.

The two of them were slightly relieved, but the two imperial doctors said that they were most likely to have a miscarriage during one to three months, and told her to lie down more and move less, avoid eating raw and cold, and safflower musk and other things could not be touched, so the two hearts hung again.

In the end, Xuan Lonely ordered Imperial Physician Xu to ask for a pulse every day and check the food and drink supplies of Guan Sui Palace before they could be used by her.

On the 28th day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, the day of the queen mother's birthday has finally arrived, in addition to the palace music and dance performances, the emperor also specially invited the most famous Deyun opera troupe in the capital to perform in the palace.

After the birthday feast, the emperor took his family to the Liuyun Pavilion in Changchun Garden, where a large stage was specially built and was a place for the heavenly family to listen to the opera.

The stands are on the second floor, everyone sits according to their ranks, the first row of the queen mother is in the center, the emperor and the queen are on the left, and the imperial concubine An Jingliang and the concubine Xiao Liyun are sitting next to the emperor and the queen.

Several concubines and wives were seated in the second row, and Dou Lianyi sat diagonally behind the emperor, and when he raised his eyes, he could see his elegant and chic back.

At the beginning, the drums on the stage sounded in unison, and a group of monkeys dressed up played around on it, which was called a warm-up and picked up the atmosphere at once.

Then there were three main plays in a row, namely "The Banquet", "Haunting the Heavenly Palace" and "The Garden", all of which were liked by the Queen Mother.

Behind the screen, a huge drum looms, and on the drum, graceful dancers dance on the drum, and every time their toes are lifted and fallen, they make a gripping drum beat.

At a glance, Dou Lianyi recognized the dancer, such a wonderful posture, such a moving figure, except for Ming Xue Kite, there is no second person who can dance.

The wonderful thing is that a silk screen is planted in front of it, creating a hazy artistic conception, which makes people feel like they are in the fairyland of Yaochi and enjoying the dance of the goddess, so it is no wonder that everyone holds their breath and their hearts move with every beat of the drum.

The emperor was also watching intently, Dou Lianyi pursed his lips, quietly stretched out his hand, shook it in front of his eyes, leaned over, and whispered jokingly: "Your Majesty, aren't you stupid?" ”

"What, you're jealous? Then I'm looking at you. He was about to turn his head, but she was so frightened that she quickly dropped a "don't" and withdrew.

At the moment of this question and answer, there was one more person on the stage, a woman wearing a green shirt, standing in front of the screen with her back to the stands, and the pen in her hand sometimes walked quickly, sometimes tactfully.

At this time, people found that this screen was of excellent quality, and the four corners were painted with four lifelike red lotuses, and the large blank space in the middle gradually became a big "longevity" character in the woman's splash of ink.

Separated by a screen, on one side, the green-shirted woman danced and wrote, and on the other side, the red-clothed woman danced on the drum, which simply complemented each other, and it was indescribably beautiful.

The drum fell, the pen stopped, and the Liuyun Pavilion was silent.

The woman in the green shirt turned around, her plain face was naturally decorated, and she bowed to the Queen Mother: "Concubine Yang Ningzhi wishes the Queen Mother a long life and good health. ”

Yang Ningzhi!

Someone in the middle of the seat exclaimed, and all kinds of complicated eyes were cast on the stage together.

"Okay, okay, Yang Meiren has a heart, come to the mourning family." The Empress Dowager Xiaoren liked it very much and beckoned.

Yang Ningzhi walked off the stage, walked all the way to the Queen Mother along the corridor connecting the stage and the stands, and bowed deeply again: "The concubine is ugly, please don't dislike the Queen Mother." ”

"There are few people in the world who can get the essence of Wang Youjun's calligraphy, Qing is definitely one, if your words are ugly, don't take out the words of others." The emperor loves calligraphy, especially likes Wang Xizhi, and often says that after Wang Youjun, there is no calligrapher.

Yang Ningzhi's jade face was bright, and she smiled embarrassedly: "The emperor praises falsely, the concubine can't afford such a compliment, if she can fight the queen mother and the emperor, the concubine will be satisfied." ”

"Come, come to me."

Xuan Lili handed out his hand at the woman, and the woman's face suddenly turned red, and she got up and walked towards the man gracefully step by step.

Some people have already moved chairs and installed them beside the emperor.

"Sister Yang is really hidden, and when she is revealed, she is a blockbuster." Xia Ruotong turned his face away and said meaningfully to Dou Lianyi next to him.

The harem was originally a place where the dragon and the tiger were hidden, it was not surprising, Dou Lianyi just smiled, picked up the teacup and took a big sip, and finally drank in a hurry, the gastric juice gushed up, she hurriedly took another big sip, trying to press it down, but the method that usually worked was useless now, and the more she drank, the more she wanted to vomit.

Don't hold back, today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, don't sweep away her old man's happiness.

But the more she tried to hold back, the more she couldn't help but turn her stomach, and her abdomen began to hurt, and her eyes subconsciously swept to him in front of her, not wanting people to be holding Yang Meiren's hand while looking at it and chuckling: "Qing's hand is very good, protect it carefully, don't hurt it." ”

"Wow."

The sound of vomiting burst out of the throat, breaking the silence and peace of the stands.

She secretly screamed that it was not good, and in the idea of not showing her appearance in public, she covered her mouth and got up and rushed out.

"What's the matter?" Xuan Lili was so shocked that he bounced up, and was about to catch up, but was stopped by the Queen Mother: "Emperor, sit down, come to Xi, you go over and take a look, and come to report as soon as there is a situation." ”

Xuan Xiaoli then remembered that it was the Queen Mother's birthday today, and it was indeed not appropriate to leave, so he sat down, and he was not at ease, so he asked Li Liancheng to follow.

"Your Majesty, Sister Dou is just happy, don't worry too much." Yang Ningzhi was relieved a few times, and just as the screen of the word "longevity" was carried over by two little eunuchs, she pointed at it and tilted her head delicately and asked, "Your Majesty, guess how many words for longevity are hidden in this word?" ”

Xuan Lonely away from the party just swept at a glance has been seen, a big "longevity" word, horizontal skimming and vertical in the hidden countless small "longevity" words, a rough look, has found several kinds of fonts in the seal Kailu, breathtaking.

It's just that he is not in the mood to pay attention to these at the moment, people are sitting here, and their souls have already flown away.

Seeing that the man had turned a deaf ear, Yang Ningzhi was stunned, and when she thought of him holding her hand, the sound of "Qing" still echoed in her ears, making her body soften involuntarily, but in an instant, all of them were empty, and the woman bit her lip and drew a shallow mark.

On the stage, the enchanting Tsing Yi water sleeves danced, singing loudly, at this moment, Yang Liancheng hurriedly ran over, whispered in the man's ear, Xuan Lonely exclaimed: "See red? ”

"What's the matter, what did you just say, Emperor?" The Empress Dowager Xiaoren next to her vaguely heard two words, and she was also bluffed.

"Queen mother, the fetal phase has stabilized, don't worry." At the same time that Xuan Liancheng was comforting, he found that Yang Liancheng was still followed by Imperial Doctor Xu, so he frowned: "You are not guarding at Concubine Li, what are you doing here?" ”

Xu Huaiyu stepped forward to salute, but looked at both sides with a deep groan, Xuan Xili waved his hand impatiently, and said loudly: "If you have something to say, say it quickly." ”

"Yes." Xu Huaiyu no longer hesitated, and explained the diagnosis and the purpose of coming here: "When Weichen was diagnosing the pulse of Concubine Li Niangniang, he found that Niangniang contained aconite powder in her body, which was also the cause of her sudden vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. ”

"Aconite powder, what's that?" Actually, I vaguely guessed some, but I wasn't sure.

Doctor Xu replied: "A kind of highly toxic Chinese herbal medicine, which can cause abdominal pain and diarrhea at least and kill people at worst. "What a guts." The man's eyes radiated an oppressive cold light, squeezing out a sentence from between his teeth, and his voice was as cold as if it was in hell.
