Chapter 107: The Full Moon
Xiang Hongxuan happily hugged Xiang Minghao, his face was full of smiles, and anyone could see that Xiang Hongxuan was happy from the bottom of his heart. In order to see the prince as soon as possible, Xiang Hongxuan traveled almost day and night, rushing to Yicheng non-stop, and finally rushed back to Yicheng on the day of the prince's full moon.
Xiang Hongxuan didn't have time to go back to the Feiyu Palace and went straight to Xiyan Palace, as soon as he saw Xiang Minghao, he was happy, and suddenly the prince in Xiang Hongxuan's arms cried, Xiang Hongxuan was stunned, compared to the cat-like cry of the emperor's eldest son before, the cry of the son in his arms is afraid that it can be heard clearly outside the palace, his son is healthy, very healthy, Xiang Hongxuan laughed again, and said: "Shufei, you gave birth to a son for me, you have worked hard." ”
Saying that, Xiang Hongxuan glanced at Xiao Dezi, Xiao Dezi immediately came to Xiang Hongxuan with the inner servant behind him, Xiang Hongxuan took out a white jade pendant from the brocade box in the hand of the inner servant, which was engraved with three words Xiang Minghao, Feng Yingying took a look, and another jade pendant in the brocade box was engraved with Xiang Yiyi's name, and suddenly a warm current crossed Feng Yingying's heart, this is not the jade pendant that Xiang Hongxuan said he wanted to give to her children before, it turned out that Xiang Hongxuan remembered it.
Feng Yingying slowly came to Xiang Hongxuan's side and said softly: "The concubine has thanked Your Majesty for the reward of the prince and the princess. ”
Xiang Hongxuan freed up a hand to wrap his arms around Feng Yingying's shoulder, Feng Yingying also gently leaned her head in Xiang Hongxuan's arms, Xiang Hongxuan looked at the son in his arms, and said to Feng Yingying with satisfaction: "Concubine Shu, you are the hero of Dongyu." ”
Ling Xi secretly glanced at Xiao Xiangxiang who was standing beside her, Xiao Xiangxiang's face was not very good, Ling Xi lowered his head and smiled, it is estimated that Xiao Xiangxiang never thought that Xiang Hongxuan would attach so much importance to Feng Yingying's son, even with the provocation and framing of Feng Yingying who they calculated in every possible way before, it gradually dissipated in the high-pitched cry of the prince. Now that Feng Yingying has a son and a daughter who have won the favor of the saint, I am afraid that Xiao Xiangxiang will also start to worry about the difficult life in the future.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu gave birth to the prince this time, it is a great joy in the Dongyu harem, the concubine has the courage to ask Your Majesty for a favor, there are not many children in the harem, it is better to let the prince and the princess grow up under the knees of Concubine Shu, so that their sisters and brothers can be companions, so that they will not grow up in the hands of the nursing mother, too lonely." Ling Xi said.
As soon as Feng Yuying heard Ling Xi's words, her eyes immediately overflowed with tears of gratitude, from her pregnancy to giving birth to the prince, she trembled every day, for fear that one day she would be calculated again, and she knew that there were rules in Dongyu's harem, the prince and the princess could not grow up under the knees of their biological mother, and Xiang Yiyi could grow up in her Xiyan Palace, but because she had been poisoned and miscarried, Ling Xi did not let the nurse take her to Yiyi in order to comfort her, and Xiang Hongxuan did not ask about it, so she could raise her child in person as she wished.
But now that she has given birth to a prince, there will inevitably be a nurse who will take away her son, for which she has been worried for many days, thinking of how Xiao Xiangxiang calculated herself when she was pregnant with Minghao, as well as Xiao Xiangxiang's holy grace, she was very worried, she didn't expect Ling Xi to ask for her today, so that she had no worries, Feng Yingying looked at Ling Xi with tears in her eyes, except for gratitude, she had nothing to reciprocate
。
Xiang Hongxuan looked at the son in his arms, and seemed to have listened to Ling Xi's words, he gently stroked Xiang Minghao's cheek with one hand, and said softly: "The prince also wants to live with his sister, so let's raise them all by Concubine Shu's side." ”
Feng Yingying immediately thanked her, for fear that Xiang Hong would regret it, and her child would leave Xiyan Palace. Suddenly, Xiao Xiangxiang looked at Ling Xi, Xiao Xiangxiang's eyes were full of hostility, it was obvious that Xiao Xiangxiang saw it, Ling Xi just didn't worry about her, worried that she would do something to the prince.
Xiao Xiangxiang lowered her head and sneered, she really wanted to know if Ling Xi was really generous, or was acting in front of Xiang Hongxuan, or was buying people's hearts, if one day Ling Xi had a son, then could Ling Xi still treat Xiang Minghao, a different prince, like this?
At this time, Aunt Yan walked into the inner hall quickly, and after she muttered a few words in Ling Xi's ear, Ling Xi said to Xiang Hongxuan: "Your Majesty, the princess has entered the palace, and she came to discuss the marriage between King Pingnan and the lord of Huaimin, and the concubine retired first." ”
Xiang Hongxuan was stunned, he looked thoughtful, handed over Xiang Minghao in his arms to Feng Yingying, he took a few steps closer to Ling Xi, and said: "Huaimin is getting married, this is a happy event, my uncle has to say something, the queen, you turn around and take Huaimin into the palace, let the Ministry of Rites handle the wedding of King Pingnan, and Huaimin will marry from the palace according to the princess's specifications." ”
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not in accordance with the rules." Ling Xi whispered.
Xiang Hongxuan laughed loudly and said: "King Pingnan, the young hero, the Jiang family is full of loyalty, and Huaimin is the eldest daughter of the royal family, the marriage of these two juniors can't be hasty, the palace has not had a happy event for a long time, so it should be happy and happy." ”
Ling Xi just wanted to excuse himself, and said to Hongxuan again: "By the way, the queen, you send someone to Pingcheng to take Miss Xue into the harem, Miss Xue's gonghou song is unforgettable, I really want to listen to those twelve nocturnes." ”
Ling Xi was stunned, and she asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, what position is suitable for Miss Xue after she enters the palace?" ”
"Be named a beauty, and give it to the Yaoguang Pavilion in the East Courtyard."
As soon as Xiang Hongxuan's words fell, the three women in the hall looked at each other, and suddenly the palace fell into a dead silence.
"Brother Huang, my sister congratulates you on your joy."
Zhaoqing walked into the inner hall with a cheerful pace, Zhaoqing's congratulatory voice broke the silence in the hall, Xiang Hongxuan was full of smiles, and hugged his son back from Feng Yingying's hands, Zhaoqing also came to his side, teasing the prince, even Xiao Xiangxiang also complimented the prince on the side, Feng Yingying was even more overjoyed, Ling Xi looked at the scene in front of her, it seemed that only she was a little redundant, she left Xiyan Palace lonely.
...................................................................................................................
Ling Xi leaned on the soft couch by the window, and a gust of early summer evening breeze blew, but Ling Xi was tired all afternoon
It's all blown away. Aunt Yan slowly came to Ling Xi's side, she put the tray in her hand on a few cases next to the soft couch, picked up the wine jug on the tray and poured Ling Xi a full glass of wine, handed it to Ling Xi, and said, "Queen Mother, this is the peach blossom drunk made by Qin'er and Xin'er this spring, you can taste it." ”
Ling Xi took the wine glass in Aunt Yan's hand, she looked at the pale red peach blossom drunk in the white porcelain wine glass, like bleached lipstick, she chuckled, and drank the contents of the cup in one gulp.
Another gust of evening breeze blew, and Ling Xi exhaled a slightly alcoholic breath from the tip of his nose, which was very comfortable in this lukewarm night. Ling Xi remembered the situation when Princess Bo Baoling discussed Huaimin's marriage with her in Qingfeng Garden in the afternoon, Bo Baoling couldn't wait to take care of Huaimin's marriage in all aspects, no matter how big or small, as if he was afraid of wronging her stepdaughter, so Bo Baoling stayed in Qingfeng Garden for a whole afternoon.
"Aunt Yan, Princess Xian is really caring for the county lord of Huaimin, not to mention that I really can't tell that the princess is not the biological mother of the county lord of Huaimin."
Aunt Yan smiled slightly, she picked up the wine jug on a few cases, poured wine for Ling Xi, and said: "Queen Mother, do you know, Princess Xian is actually the aunt of the county lord of Huaimin, when the king was only the king of Bohai County, he was neglected, it is said that he reached the age of the weak crown, and no one dared to marry his daughter to him, at that time, the nobles were worried, one day the queen mother would not be able to tolerate this concubine of Queen Bo, for fear that her daughter would be affected in vain if she married him, and in the end, even some petty officials did not dare to marry their daughters to him, At that time, the situation of the king was very difficult. ”
"And then?" Ling Xi asked curiously.
"Later, it was the uncle of the king who married the eldest daughter Bo Qiaoling to the king, that is, the wife of the king, when his wife accompanied him through the most difficult days, not only by the relatives of the cold eyes, but also every day to live trembling, maybe one day the king will fly to the disaster, their husband and wife have to die, but unfortunately, the king has just come to the bitter end, Bo Qiaoling because of the childbirth, the mother and son died, and then many nobles came to the door to propose, want to marry their daughters to the king as a stepfamily, the king refused one by one, And King Xian finally married his wife's younger sister, it is said that because his wife was worried about the lord of Huaimin before she died, so King Xian married the current princess, after all, his aunt is always better than outsiders. And the Bo family produced two princesses, which also became a beautiful talk that year. ”
Ling Xi couldn't help but bow his head and ponder, if it weren't for Bo Qiaoling's difficult childbirth and death, then the king and his wife would be a troubled couple with deep love for flounder. She drank the peach blossom drunk in her hand in one gulp, she picked up the wine jug on several cases, drank it to herself, and muttered to herself: "The wife of the chaff will not go to the court." ”
Aunt Yan looked at Ling Xi, who was a little drunk, and exited the house in a witty manner.
Ling hoped that the dark night outside the window, tonight was a bit like the night in Pingcheng, she vaguely remembered the scene when Xiang Hongxuan hugged Xiao Xiangxiang, the scene of looking at her with fierce eyes, until now she shuddered. I don't know when it started, Xiang Hongxuan always followed Xiao Xiangxiang by his side, just like Xiang Hongxuan was in a hurry to see his son today, and he didn't forget to take Xiao Xiangxiang with him.
and today's Xiang Hongxuan's attention to Jiang Wanfeng and Huaimin's marriage, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a political appeasement of the Jiang family, for Xue Duyan to enter the palace, and for Xue Pingchuan to take root in the southern military camp, Xiang Hongxuan tried his best, but unfortunately these have nothing to do with sincerity. What did the Jiang family get, won a battle, received a false name, and lost the trust of the emperor.
And what about her? Did Xiang Hongxuan start to suspect himself in his heart? Did she accompany Xiang Hongxuan through the changes in the palace of life and death, and carried the harem suppression life of the queen mother together, as well as the relationship between husband and wife over the years, Ling Xi was a little unsure, is she still the bad wife in Xiang Hongxuan's heart?
