132, dragon and phoenix

Just like the emperor said, no matter how much the court and outside the court look forward to this being a son, it is always better to give birth to a daughter safely than to die both mother and daughter, and of course this matter must be treated as a happy event.

The messenger to Qingning Palace was sent out, and the queen mother was also brought back to reward and advise, and the palaces were also sent over to congratulate after a period of time, as for the little princess, after being seen by her mother, she was naturally sent out, scrubbed and scrubbed the blood stains on her body, and naturally she was sent to the adoptive mother and the nursing mother. ――Xu Xun's birth time is very normal, and the preparations have naturally been prepared a long time ago.

- Although it is said that being a mother is inevitably thinking about her daughter, but this is the rule in the palace, let alone breastfeeding herself, even raising her is a matter of the past two years. After a few years of age, the princesses naturally have a residence, at most, they say hello to their biological mother according to the usual number of times they greet the queen.

Anyway, in this dynasty, even the queen's daughter has gone out to live by herself, and Sun Guifei's daughter has just moved in this year, Xu Xun's baby is a little difficult if she wants to be special.

But now there is no need to worry about this, just after giving birth, the mother is weak, Xu Xun was happy for a while and fell asleep with his eyes closed. - It's time to finish her work, and this time she's sure that it's finally her turn not to help her.

Don't be busy, there are a lot of things, the little princess has to start preparing for washing three now, and this has to be done in Yong'an Palace. There are also Xu Xun's confinement, going out to make vows, etc., many trivial affairs have to be handled by a few grandmothers and palace maids, and the palace is full of busyness. ――There is a happy smile on his face, and he can't say whether he is sincere or not, at least he can't find anything wrong with his face.

For Xiao Gong, the master is still alive, which is a pretty good result. It doesn't matter if you're born a boy or a girl, it's better than suffocating to death, right? If they die, no matter whether they are the prince or the princess, the Yong'an Palace will definitely have to be dismantled, and they will have to be split to serve elsewhere. Being able to serve the original owner is, of course, much better than being a monk halfway.

But for those who are close to the palace with the master, this matter is a bit of a bad feeling: this child is blessed, from conception to now, ** folds, and has survived. Before he was born, almost half of Tai thought that he should be a son, but as a result, although he was also healthy, he was missing a child......

Grandma Sun has been busy for a long time, and finally she is done and has settled down everywhere. Zasa stood under the porch with his hands, and for a while he was a little dazed—he didn't want to go back to the lower room, but he couldn't find anything to do.

After being stunned for a while, Mama Qian also came over, and the two of them watched the palace ladies spinning in and out like spinning tops, and no one spoke.

After being quiet for a while, Grandma Sun couldn't help it first, she sighed, "Say, what Niangniang said just now, is she angry, or sincere." ”

These two stayed all night, and when Liu Zhien came in to find Xu Xun, they were close to the two of them, and some words just didn't want to listen. The change in Concubine Zhuang's expression is naturally clear. Mama Sun doesn't have to worry now, she is worried about Xu Xun's body - she is afraid that Xu Xun is still gambling on it, this breath is depressed and her heart can't come out, and it is easy to get sick after giving birth.

"Mother, don't be so unsightly." Mama Qian can't get it now. "That's what ...... normal"

Thirty years old has no children, don't talk about her Concubine Xu Zhuang, she is the queen and concubine, and she is definitely not a big one, to put it mildly, if the child is pulled out by caesarean section, the child can live, and when the queen wants to have a miscarriage, she may be immediately dissected, and the child can be dissected, and the mother's life is secondary.

Concubine Zhuang shouldn't even be unable to see this point clearly-but then again, this is always very clear about other things, and she may not be able to get out of it by looking at her own affairs. Therefore, Mama Qian and Mama Sun didn't dare to make a conclusion, and after looking at each other a few times, they were a little worried.

It doesn't matter if you give birth to a daughter, the first and third concubines are all daughters, and Concubine He Hui's second daughter has been sick since she landed, and she didn't see how she couldn't be cold. Even saying that giving birth to a daughter is good news - she can give birth to her first child safely, and there will only be Shun in the future, and the probability of the queen is very small after all. The big problem is that I am afraid that Concubine Zhuang will mind this matter in her heart, and she will be separated from the emperor from then on.

The emperor is not a fool, he has a share with him in his heart, and he only has a share with him. The emperor's emotional disharmony is weishenme, and several big grandmothers have a lot of contacts with Kunning Palace, and they can see it even more clearly than the queen mother-isn't it because the queen and the emperor were separated first.

said, if the emperor loses money, forget it, but now the son of Shengming, except for an occasional brain fever, there is nothing to find fault with in ordinary things. He took advantage of the reason himself, and he was justified and strong, but he didn't take advantage of the reason, so what did the emperor think? Didn't the two feelings just look cold, Kunning Palace has been sick for so long, how many times has the emperor been there?

Kunning Palace is still the queen, whether there is a pet or not, although Yong'an Palace is also a concubine, but compared with the queen, isn't it still less justifiable? If you lose your grace, will your life be harder than before? A few grandmothers are now worried about Xu Xun's mentality, there is nothing else, can they have a daughter, can they also have children? As long as Concubine Zhuang continues to be favored, there is hope for the future.

"There's still a month to go." Grandma Sun smacked her lips, "Even if there is something, you can still persuade in the confinement." ”

Mama Qian also felt that Mama Sun was reasonable, so she thought about it and said, "Hey, it's a pity that this is not the case." ”

Although Liu Zhien has entered Yong'an Palace for less than two years, everyone is really convinced of him - it is not okay if he is not convinced, this small thing is not guaranteed, and the last words are all said by him to Xu Xun. Home is so capable, I have to serve. The four grandmothers are now calling him the master. Right now, what can Liu Zhien do as a eunuch? I can't see him, and several grandmothers are a little weak in their hearts.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Liu Zhien hurriedly walked into the courtyard, and when he saw the two grandmothers, his expression moved, and he waved to them next.

The three of them quickly got together, and Liu Zhien asked first, "Niangniang is still Antai, right?" ”

After giving birth, the imperial doctor also has to go inside to help a pulse, but that's just a comfort effect, if there is really any postpartum hemorrhage, the imperial doctor is just a decoration. However, Xu Xun's condition is indeed very healthy, and the child's placenta is very clean. I slept peacefully and didn't feel any discomfort.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Liu Zhien was obviously relieved, he thought for a while, and then asked, "When I went in to see Niangniang just now, who else heard those words besides the two of us?" ”

Mama Sun and Mama Qian rushed back to think - no, the midwives are all monkey spirits and monkey spirits, and no one will come up to commit this taboo, and when they saw Liu Zhien coming in, they all flashed to the corner of the hall one by one.

"That's good!" Liu Zhien said categorically, "The emperor doesn't need to know that Niangniang already knows." ”

That's all there is to say, but Mama Sun and Mama Qian are both thorough, and they are busy nodding like pounding garlic, "Yes, yes, the good lady doesn't speak loudly, I shouldn't have guessed it." ”

"Well, the midwife, even if it is preached, it will not be preached." Liu Zhien pondered for a moment, "Niangniang, the two aunts have to talk about it." ”

This has to involve psychology: the emperor is not big enough to protect the small, and he is justified in saying that he is breaking the sky, but it does not mean that he will confidently expose this layer with Xu Xun. Besides this, isn't there love? personally put Concubine Zhuang's life behind the child's life, even if Concubine Zhuang can understand, the emperor himself has to be a little embarrassed.

And this is embarrassing, there are two possibilities, one is to double the good - this is unlikely, the emperor is good enough for Concubine Zhuang, so good that he can't be better. There is another kind, that is, he feels uncomfortable when he sees him, and he will not come to see him in the future.

Can Yong'an Palace bet on the emperor's reaction? It's impossible, so this matter must be covered, Concubine Zhuang must pretend to be stupid, so vague that it won't take long for the emperor to forget about it - although it is said that the small is not the big, but the matter has not progressed to that point? Concubine Zhuang didn't know anything, and the emperor couldn't have remembered it for too long.

Why don't you say you're thinking about Yoo Ji-eun? With him, Yong'an Palace is like having a backbone, and a few grandmothers will follow his words and do it. At this time, they all threw the confusion just now out of the clouds, and they all had the atmosphere that was in line with Yong'an Palace, and they were full of energy. Liu Zhien encouraged a few more words, 'the coming day is long', 'there are one and two' and so on, and they all went to work again with joy.

Boosted morale, Liu Zhien was also relieved, he glanced at Xu Xun with a little worry, stood and pondered for a while, shook his head again, and then walked down the courtyard and got busy.

After a short while, the good news came.

It was only noon, and the emperor personally came to Yong'an Palace.

#

The emperor ran in the morning, and he came back too, maybe he changed his clothes, took a nap, and then came to see Xu Xun and his daughter again. - According to Liu Zhien's guess, he probably went back to sort out his emotions, he didn't fall asleep all night, and the situation was so tangled, the emperor should have been a little at a loss when he came back from the court, and now he should have regained his senses, according to the emperor's usual style of acting, it is not surprising that he will return to Yong'an Palace.

This time, of course, it was empty, and Xu Xun was sleeping. The blood around her has not dispersed, and it is not easy for the emperor to enter, so as not to offend. That is, I took my daughter in the other room and took a look, because the child was not hungry because he was born, and he was also asleep at this time, and there was nothing to interact with. Basically, after only sitting on a cup of tea, the emperor was very idle.

Liu Zhien didn't expect the emperor to stay for long, he would come back to Yong'an Palace to take a look at him again, in fact, he had already expressed his support and favor for Xu Xun, don't talk in the palace, even if you have any ideas, I won't dare to show it anymore at this time. The emperor can now go back and lick his wounds - to be honest, he can come over today, which has made Liu Zhien relaxed, but also admires the emperor's city: such a huge hope has been disappointed overnight, and not everyone can adjust so well like the emperor.

But the emperor refused to leave, and now Yong'an Palace couldn't come to accompany him, and he didn't mind, so he sat in the main hall and drank tea bowl after bowl.

Liu Zhien had no choice but to stand on the side and accompany him silently, although he was very good at figuring out the emperor's psychology, but now even he couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking.

After drinking three bowls of tea, the emperor finally spoke up. "Zhi'en."

"Slave." Yoo Ji-eun quickly knelt down.

"Master...... the emperor didn't seem to know what to say, he groaned for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know what is going on outside?" ”

When the emperor and the imperial physician were talking, the surroundings were definitely not empty. At that time, the chief of affairs in the courtyard was Liu Zhien, and Liu Zhien didn't have the idea of pretending to be stupid at all - the emperor would not like a too incompetent lieutenant official, so he kowtowed to the emperor twice. "Niang Niang doesn't know anything."

He hesitated for a moment, and added, "However, in the suitable house, Niangniang also took the initiative to instruct, if there is an accident, keep the small but not the big." ”

After returning to this matter, the emperor sighed, and his face looked better. "There are some things that you have to know and grasp, what you should know and what you shouldn't know, and you have a number in your heart."

"Yes." Liu Zhien kowtowed, "The slave must live up to the emperor's orders." ”

"Do things, or rest assured." The emperor's face was completely relaxed. "Did the little girl have a nickname?"

"Niangniang glanced at her sister a few times, and then fell asleep, and she hasn't named her yet." Liu Zhien said with confidence - don't talk about a nickname at this time, even if he has a big name, he must say that he has no name. This is already the emperor's fourth daughter, but the first three have not heard of the emperor giving her nickname. It seems that after raising a year or two, it is the mother or the nurse who casually gives the nickname.

"A little name is cheap and easy to feed." The emperor thought for a moment and said with interest. "Look at her face, there are yellow spots all over the place, so it's better to call it a little bit."

When a child is born, jaundice is quite common, but the nickname of the fourth daughter of the emperor has been decided.

Liu Zhien didn't expect Xu Xun to have any opinions, so he said respectfully, "This is the message for them to shout." ”

At this point, the emperor finally had nothing more to order, but he still sat still and did not leave. Liu Zhien came back from a trip, and he still sat down and knocked on the table with a little gold ruyi.

Liu Zhien was a little crying and laughing, wanted to speak, thought about it and held back, while standing with his eyes and nose and heart, he was so bitter.

I don't know how long later, there was a sudden sound of slight talking in the back room, and the emperor couldn't sit still when he heard it, so he stood up and lifted the curtain and rushed in. Liu Zhien didn't dare to stop him, and hurriedly followed to the door, and he didn't dare to go inside.

“…… Eldest brother? Concubine Zhuang really woke up, her voice was still thick sleepy and a little confused, "Why did you come in-the smell of blood hasn't dissipated yet, and the offense is ......"

"What do you care about this?" The emperor's voice was deep and gentle, "Have you seen the four girls?" It's a lot like that. ”

"I also think it's like it, it's just blushing, it's not very good-looking......" Concubine Zhuang had a hint of a smile in her voice, and her voice was low, Liu Zhien couldn't hear every word clearly, only a few words, which occasionally reached his ears.

"It's been a lot of work." The emperor's tone was very gentle, "It's good to rest and confine, and if you lack anything, you will send it to Qingning Palace to ask for it." ”

Because the queen can't take care of things because of her miscarriage, until now, everything in the palace is in charge of Qingning Palace. Kunning Palace has been elevated for two months.

“…… It's okay...... Don't worry, it's not all like that......" Xu Xun didn't know what to say, and sighed twice with a little loss, "It's just that I don't feel good in my heart - in the end, I still don't want to be angry, and I can't give you a son." ”

The emperor didn't know what to answer, but this answer was definitely enough to satisfy Concubine Zhuang, and both of them laughed lowly. The emperor's voice floated over, "It's better to rest first, and it would be good if you could give birth safely." I really don't know what it's like to hear that I can't have contractions...... When the confinement is over and the weather is hot, take it to Xiangshan to relax......"

The mother needed to rest, and the emperor didn't stay too long before leaving the house, and instructed Liu Zhien all the way, "Look at it coldly, we should have it, but the charcoal fire doesn't seem to be strong enough." The mother is afraid of the cold, and the room just now feels hot, but the palm of the is still a little cold sweat, go back and ask about some hot and cold, should add or subtract not vaguely, if it is not enough, just ask for it. If Qingning Palace doesn't allow it, just send a message to Ma Shi......"

Liu Zhien should be all the way, and sent the emperor out of the palace gate, turned around and stood and thought about it, and wrinkled his eyebrows at a courtyard: "If you don't do things, what do you see?" ”

When the yard was busy again, the joy on his face was much more realistic. - After giving birth to a daughter, the grace is prosperous, and it seems that the good days of Yong'an Palace will last for a long time.

Even Liu Zhien let go of his heart: when the emperor went in just now, didn't make a confession first, if she said that she already knew what the emperor said, how embarrassing would it be?

While weighing, he unconsciously walked back to the door of the confinement room, Liu Zhien hesitated, but still did not take a step inside, but there was a voice inside. "Is it Yoo Ji-eun?"

"Slave." Liu Zhien hurriedly replied.

"Come in." speak in a gentle tone.

Speaking of which, the emperor has all entered, and he has nothing to avoid as a eunuch. Liu Zhien lifted the curtain and hunched his waist into the house, his eyes looked at the ground below, and he didn't dare to look anywhere.

There is indeed some faint smell of blood in the house, but the are in good spirits, and after letting Liu Zhien enter the house, she was silent for a while, and then said when they all retreated, "There was something going on before giving birth, and the eldest brother didn't need to know." ”

The two sides thought of going together-Liu Zhien's heart was completely relaxed, and even his voice was much more energetic. "Back to the mother's words, the slave maid also means this, and the two aunts have already said it. Just rest assured. ”

"That'll do." yawned, "Have you seen a little bit?" The eldest brother likes her very much, and even named her himself. ”

"The little princess is full of spirit, strong and lively, and she really likes it." Yoo Ji-eun glanced at cautiously.

were amused by him, "What are you doing here, isn't it a happy event to give birth safely?" How can they be like funerals one by one, as if life is not a little bit, it is a tanuki. ”

"Niangniang-" Liu Zhien was a little speechless, "Aren't you using the dictionary indiscriminately......"

After seeing everything, anyway, the were neatly dressed, so he no longer worried about taboos, but stared at Xu Xun carefully up and down for a while, as if he wanted to find some clues from her face.

Xu Xun first let him see it, and then he was annoyed, "I know, I know, I'm worried that I won't be able to get over this hurdle......"

She smiled slightly, and this smile, to Liu Zhien's surprise, was that even he couldn't find the slightest hypocrisy.

"We, our hearts are too big." Concubine Zhuang leaned on the head of the bed, and said to Liu Zhien in a homely manner, "I feel lucky...... But what kind of goods and what kind of color is this good fortune? Isn't it just that Emperor Wen praised him? It's really a saint who is the son of heaven...... Step by step to today, whether it is good luck or not, I know it in my heart. ”

Liu Zhien couldn't help but be a little embarrassed: To say that he selfishly didn't expect Xu Xun to win a son and ascend to the sky in one step, it would be false.

"If my heart is insufficient, I am naturally worried about my lack of heart." Concubine Zhuang said gently, as if comforting Liu Zhien, and as if talking to herself, "Do you remember what you said to you in this room this summer?" ”

How could Yoo Ji-eun not remember, he remembered too much. He lowered his head and looked at the ground, his hands clenched into fists, and whispered, "Slave, slave and maid remember......

"That night, I thought about it a lot." Concubine Zhuang said softly, "I think it's right, anyone's fate is determined by God, no one can fight with the sky, even the eldest brother has no way, the fate is determined, what will happen in the fate, there is no choice." Isn't it, Yoo Ji-eun? It's the same as all of them, if you enter the palace or not, you don't choose it, you don't have to be favored, it's not that you choose, you don't have children or not, you can't choose, everything is arranged by God. ”

She suddenly laughed, "Do you feel like that?" Sometimes I feel that life in this palace is like fighting with an invisible liliang, I don't know what it is, I don't know where it is, but I feel that it has been chewing and eating, chewing everything it can chew and eat. Sometimes it feels like fighting a battle without an opponent...... That night, thinking very clearly and clearly, it can swallow everything, swallow parents, children, names, even if it wants to swallow its life later, there is always one thing that it can't take away, do you know what it is, Yoo Ji-en? ”

Yoo Ji-eun couldn't hold back any longer, tears welled up in his eyes, and he watched the scorching liquid fall to the ground, almost unable to believe that it came from his body. He wanted to beg Xu Xun not to go any further, he didn't know why this simple, peaceful sentence could be sharper than a sharp knife.

"It can't take itself." Xu Xun whispered, "Life is determined by heaven, but the path is chosen by yourself, and only you can decide what you want to do." This world is the emperor's world, he wants to enter the palace, he can't help but enter, he can only come in vertically and go out horizontally, they want to buy and sell, and buy it for a lifetime with glory and wealth...... That night, I felt that I finally understood, and I finally knew what I had always wanted. ”

"Yes...... What is it? Yoo asked in a low voice, almost startled by the roughness of his own words—he hadn't heard himself say it for a long time.

"I just want myself, just like when I entered the palace." Xu Xun didn't look at him, she looked at the top of the bed, and said slowly, "When I entered the palace draft, although I was scared, although I was afraid. But after all, it is very lively, very carefree, at that time, I believe that there are always many good people in the world, and at that time, I felt that there was still sincerity between me, and I could still have heart-to-heart...... Yoo Ji-eun, it's really xiexie, it's to make this clear. That night, I made up my mind, what kind of person was when I was carried into the palace, and what kind of Xu Xun was when I was carried out of the palace. No matter how long you can live, no matter how many hardships and dangers your life is waiting for, nothing will change it. Martyrdom is burial, at least when you die, it's still the same ...... You know, just that night, I have realized that in this life, I will never bow to fate, and I will never pray for anything from it-"

She finally moved her emotions, and even gritted her teeth a little, "It doesn't want to play with it, it doesn't want to see the gains and losses, and the ugliness is exposed, the more it wants to make it sad, the more it wants to live happily." If it's a boy, it's a boy, it's a girl, if you can't give birth, you can't give birth, and if you are buried, you will be buried! No! Don't rely on life! No matter what tricks it has in place, it is ready and will never be what it wants to be! Always want to do that kind of thing! ”

Yoo Ji-eun has understood everything, and he finally understands.

weishenme are reluctant to choose a mother in advance, weishenme are not depressed because of giving birth to a daughter, and even, weishenme are not sad because of the emperor's sentence 'keep the small but not the big'......

Maybe there is no fluctuation in my heart, maybe there is still a bit of loss and anger in this gritted teeth, but have really seen it and understood.

"That'...... The slave can only congratulate the mother. After thinking about it thousands of times, he finally chose this somewhat thin sentence. If you can do this, Niang Niang will be able to be peaceful and happy in the future, and turn evil into good fortune......"

"Do you want to go back to good fortune?" Xu Xun laughed hahahaly. "Sit, what are you doing on your knees?"

This time, Liu Zhien did not go to find out how happy the were in their laughter, and he did not refuse Xu Xun's request, but carefully sat down on the stool next to the bed.

"Can you think of the moment when you hide it from the emperor," he said, "the slave and maid are actually relieved, the good fortune of the mother does not come from the old emperor, but from yourself." If you have such a heart, you will always be blessed. ”

Xu Xun hooked the corners of his lips and smiled slightly, "Then borrow auspicious words." ”

For a while, I thought about my daughter again, "Did you sleep a little?" ”

got a positive answer, but it didn't make her peaceful, Liu Zhien saw Xu Xun tossing and turning, and simply went out to bring the fourth queen daughter in, bent down to show Xu Xun, Xu Xun smiled and gently poked the fourth queen's cheek with his finger.

"It's as tender as tofu!" She said that she watched her adoptive mother take her out again. "Actually, I'm really happy to be born safely this time. Think about it, old Liu Jieyu and Concubine Han Li...... It's about this age, and when I go, I didn't have anything. When I was a child, my neighbor's two sisters were still born in bed, and when I was on the delivery bed today, I thought for a while that I really couldn't get through this hurdle. ”

Liu Zhien didn't need to ask carefully, he also knew what moment it was, he regretted it slightly, and said in a low voice, "I knew that the slave wouldn't come in to spread the word." ”

"It's fine." Xu Xun shook his head, raised his hand to pat Liu Zhien's shoulder, but his hand was in the air, but he retracted it again. "I don't blame Big Brother."

Liu Zhien glanced at Xu Xun and did not make a sound.

"Don't believe me?" Xu Xun was amused by him again, laughed for a while, and then shook his head and said, "I really don't blame him, my eldest brother is also quite embarrassed...... His heart will be no less bitter than anything else...... Inside, guess what he said? ”

Yoo Ji-eun definitely didn't know.

Xu Xun sold it for a while before he sighed softly, "He said, it's really not good, there are still younger brothers." Seven or eight brothers, they can't all be so difficult. ”

Speaking of which, the emperor's younger disciples and heirs are very difficult, and they are several years old, and they still have no sons. Therefore, the emperor's words are not specifically referred to at present. But the meaning contained in it is already terrifying.

"It's—" Yoo took a breath of cold air.

"Simulate the story of the sect, if you have a child, let's take one to raise first." Xu Xun said softly. "If you give birth to your own child, it's better to send it back...... The eldest brother said that if he worked hard for a few more years, he would not have a child at the age of thirty-five, so he could only do so. ”

Even if he has served the emperor for all these years, it is said that there is no end to the eyes of the close servants, but at this moment, Liu Zhien still has a faint admiration for the emperor: if Xu Xun can be regarded as powerful, then the emperor is really worthy of the throne under him. Just to see how much he can endure this huge disappointment, and make up his mind within a few hours, you can know how sober the emperor's mind is and how tenacious his heart is.

Just look at the attitude of the emperor and Concubine Zhuang in the face of this matter, you can know that the so-called 'dragon and phoenix' is true. If you can get to a high position, how can you not have the ability?

The author has something to say: it is also sent in a big chapter!!!!!

I was in a hurry to go to the yard, and the little daughter didn't say much. xDD I hope you can like it~
