When twilight fell, there was silence in the palace, and Shu Yu was anxiously pacing back and forth, his eyes looking outside the temple door from time to time. Tian Meiren lifted the curtain and walked out and asked, "Auntie, hasn't the son-in-law returned yet?" ”

"Not yet!" Shu Yu saw that Tian Meiren came out without a robe, and said with concern: "The lady is cold outside, you still go to the inner hall to rest, and I will inform you when the husband comes back." ”

"It's okay, I'll just go in and take a robe and put it on." After saying that, Tian Meiren was about to turn around, but she vaguely heard a sound from outside the hall, and then said: "Auntie, you go outside to take a look, I'm afraid that the son-in-law is back." ”

"Hey!" Shu Yu answered, and went outside, and after walking a few steps, he vaguely heard Wei Zifu's voice, "Thank you, Lord Chamberlain!" ”

Shu Yu was surprised for a while, and hurriedly walked out, but saw a dark yellow soft sedan chair parked outside the door, and a eunuch dressed as an inner servant said respectfully to Wei Zifu: "Miss Wei is serious, I will go back to the palace first!" With a wave of his hand, the soft sedan chair set off and slowly disappeared into the vast night.

Shu Yu looked confused, and when Wei Zifu turned around, he saw Shu Yu standing there, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Auntie, how did you end up here?" ”

Shu Yu's eyes were still looking at the soft sedan chair that was gradually disappearing in the night, and asked in disbelief: "Zifu, was the sedan chair just now to send you back?" ”

Looking at Shu Yu's face full of surprise, Wei Zifu wanted to speak and stopped, and then Tian Meiren put on a robe and walked over: "Auntie, but Zifu is back?" ”

Wei Zifu hurriedly responded, and said to Shu Yuyan: "Auntie, let's go in first." ”

After entering the inner hall, Tian Meiren realized that Shu Yu's expression was solemn, while Wei Zifu was preoccupied, and doubts suddenly appeared in his heart. Sure enough, before she could sit down, Wei Zifu leaned down to her, lowered his head, and whispered: "Zifu is really ashamed to have the good intentions of his mother!" ”

Seeing this situation, Tian Meiren already understood most of the things in her heart, but Shu Yu became more and more confused, the mystery had not been solved just now, and now it was like this, and she couldn't help but ask eagerly: "Lady, what happened?" Zifu, a little yellow door came to look for you today, but has something to do with it? ”

Tian Meiren sighed softly, stepped forward to help Wei Zifu, and said softly: "Zifu, let's talk about it." ”

Wei Zifu nodded slightly, and then he told him how to meet Liu Che, how to reunite, how to enter the palace, and how to come to the Fang Palace, listening to Shu Yu was dumbfounded, and also made Tian Meiren sigh, although she knew that Wei Zifu had a relationship with Liu Che before, but she didn't expect it to be so twists and turns.

Wei Zifu continued: "Today I was washing clothes in Yongxianghuan, and the palace attendants came to deliver the decree, and His Majesty summoned me. At that time, I was very disappointed in my heart, and I didn't know why he summoned him so suddenly, until I met him in the Jade Hall Palace, and I knew that he had sent an attendant to pass the decree because of my departure from the palace. ”

Tian Meidao: "Your Majesty can explain, why did he delay meeting you?" ”

Wei Zifu nodded and said, "Your Majesty told me the reason why I haven't seen him for more than a year, which involves too much, and he also has unknown hardships. ”

"Oh..."Tian Meiren bowed slightly, and Shu Yu smiled: "The soft sedan chair just now came from the Yutang Palace, right?" Did Your Majesty ever say when you would take you back? ”

Wei Zifu showed a wry smile and said: "The time is not yet ripe, so in order to hide people's eyes and ears on the way back to the palace, Your Majesty deliberately stayed until the twilight was dull, and then asked Yang Nei to send me back." ”

"Then did Your Majesty say, how will you be placed now?" Tian Meiren frowned and asked.

Wei Zifu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty only said that I should wait with peace of mind, and I will definitely be picked up when the time comes." ”

"Then what are your plans, are you still waiting for him?" Tian Meiren said worriedly.

"Hmm." Wei Zifu nodded, took a step forward, and bowed: "I let the lady worry so much about the son-in-law before, and the son-husband lived up to the lady's kindness!" ”

Tian Meiren hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and said: "Don't mind the son, although you and I are called master and servant, we are really sisters, I only hope that Your Majesty can remember the promise he made to you today, and cherish and treat you well in the future, and he will live up to your affection for him." ”

"Yes, Zifu..."Shu Yu also came over, shook Wei Zifu's hand and said, "The lady and aunt both hope that you can find your own happiness!" ”

"Aunt..."Wei Zifu's eyes were filled with tears, looking at Tian Meiren and Shu Yu, his heart was warm and moved, in this cold palace, it is a rare happiness to have two people who are not relatives but are better than relatives by their side.

-----

The weather gradually warmed up, and in the early spring of March, the warblers sang and danced, and even the air exuded a faint scent of grass.

The morning light is faint, and Wei Zifu has already started a busy day. Clear porridge and side dishes are the usual practice of Tian Meiren's breakfast, Wei Zifu was carefully preparing some plain side dishes, a wave of nausea suddenly came up, Wei Zifu hurriedly covered his mouth, turned around and couldn't stop retching. Seeing this, Shu Yu on the side hurriedly walked over and said with concern: "Zifu, what's wrong with you?"

Wei Zifu stroked his chest, stopped vomiting after half a sound, and said softly: "Auntie, it's okay, it may be that I've been unwell for the past few days, and it's okay." ”

"Oh, that's good! Son-in-law, you also have to pay more attention to your body. Shu Yu saw that Wei Zifu was fine, so he was relieved to go to the things in hand.

The early morning fog gradually lifted, and a round of red sun jumped up the branches, releasing the warmth of early spring through the open windows of the Zhufang Temple.

"Today's vegetarian silk tastes very good, son, your craftsmanship is getting better and better." Tian Meiren put down the chopsticks and said with appreciation.

Wei Zifu smiled: "The lady has won the award...", but the words did not fall, but he retched continuously, Shu Yu hurriedly handed over the bowl when he saw this, stroked Wei Zifu's back, and said with concern: "Zifu, what's wrong with you?" ”

Tian Meiren also stood up anxiously, and her concern overflowed: "Son-in-law, but what's the discomfort?" Wei Zifu stopped vomiting and shook his head gently, and was about to speak, but before long, another wave of nausea came to his heart, and he vomited again.

After a long time, he stopped vomiting, and after this toss, Wei Zifu was already pale, and Shu Yu hurriedly filled a bowl of porridge for her to take, "Zifu, have you been feeling unwell recently?" Tian Meiren asked with concern.

Wei Zifu shook his head and said: "There is no discomfort, I have always felt tired in recent days, and my chest is slightly refluxed, it should be fine, and the lady does not have to worry." ”

Shu Yu said on the side: "You are also retching like this morning, son-in-law, you have to pay attention to your body..."

"Could it be anything?" Tian Meiren and Wei Zifu are on the same page.

Shu Yu seemed to have an insight into the opportunity, and asked with a smile: "Zifu, have you been here this month?" ”

Wei Zifu said: "I haven't been here yet, and it's been a long time since I calculated it." ”

"Have you ever felt weak and tired in the past few days, and you have a feeling of vomiting in your chest from time to time?"

"Auntie is right!" Wei Zifu nodded in response.

Shu Yu clapped his hands and said with a smile: "That's right!" You're definitely pregnant! ”

"Pregnant?" Wei Zifu and Tian Meiren were both taken aback, "How could Zifu suddenly get pregnant?" As soon as these words came out, Tian Meiren suddenly remembered that Wei Zifu had been summoned by Liu Che more than a month ago, and hurriedly stopped talking, Wei Zifu was already blushing and bowing his head silently.

There was silence in the hall, a magpie flew from nowhere, stopped on the branch outside the hall and chirped, Shu Yu pointed to the magpie outside the window, and said with a smile: "The magpie branch is calling, it must be a good thing!" Congratulations, son! Tian Meiren also got up and said with a smile: "Zifu, congratulations, you are a mother!" After that, he took off a white jade bracelet and stuffed it into Wei Zifu's hand, and said, "This is a little gift for my child." ”

Seeing this, Wei Zifu hurriedly pushed the bracelet to Tian Meiren: "The lady is such a heavy gift, how can the husband make it!" ”

Tian Meiren pushed over again and said: "Although I love children, but I have not had a man and a woman under my knees over the years with the emperor. This bracelet is a little bit of my heart for your child, don't push it away! ”

Shu Yu also said on the side: "If you talk about seniority, the lady is also the grandmother of this child, and the mother's heart is definitely accepted by the husband." ”

Looking at Tian Meiren's affection, Shu Yu's eyes were earnest, Wei Zifu was grateful, took the bracelet and said: "Thank you lady, but the husband is disrespectful!" Having a grandmother like a lady should be a blessing for this child in the third generation! ”

Tian Meiren smiled: "I have a husband and children as grandchildren, how can it not be my blessing?" As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to remember one thing, and said worriedly: "Son-in-law, now that you are pregnant, and the child will grow up day by day, I am afraid that the wide clothes and thin sleeves will not be able to cover it anymore." And you are in the palace, if others find out that you are pregnant, I am afraid that not only will the child not be protected, but you will also be killed! ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the three people who were still happy suddenly had a layer of sadness on their faces, "How is this good?" Shu Yu said, "It's better to go and inform Your Majesty!" ”

"Never!" Wei Zifu shook his head resolutely and said, "Now that Your Majesty is in difficulty, I must not burden him at this time, this matter is still a long-term consideration." ”

"How is it burdensome to him? Isn't this child His Majesty's blood and bones? Tian Meiren said, "Zifu, I know that you are thinking about Your Majesty everywhere, but the current situation cannot be delayed, if you don't go to inform Your Majesty, you and your child's lives are in danger!" ”

"This..."Wei Zifu bowed his head and frowned, silent. Tian Meidao: "Your Majesty, as the king of a country and the lord of the palace, is thoughtful and thoughtful, you tell Your Majesty about this matter, Your Majesty will definitely have a way to deal with it, it is better than you worrying about it here in vain!" ”

"What the lady said is very true." Wei Zifu nodded lightly and said, "That's all!" It's just that this matter came suddenly, and it will take some time, to be confirmed, and it will not be too late to greet Your Majesty. ”

Tian Meiren nodded and praised: "The son-in-law is really safe. ”

Shu Yu smiled: "Your Majesty will be overjoyed if he learns that he will become a father. ”

"Will he rejoice?" Wei Zifu was bittersweet.

Tian Meiren nodded heavily and said, "Definitely! ”

-----

In early spring, the weather is still warm and cold, and when winter and spring change, people are more likely to feel tired and sleepy. In the Yutang Palace, Liu Che had been reading the file for several hours, the bamboo slips were heavy, and Liu Che felt very tired after a long time, so he casually put down the file and closed his eyes on the case.

After a while, the hall opened, and Yang was about to step forward to play, when he saw that Liu Che was resting at the desk, he was busy silent, and tiptoed out, but Liu Che said: "Yang Deyi, what's the matter?" ”

Yang De's opinion disturbed Liu Che, and he hurriedly leaned over and pleaded: "The old slave disturbed the rest of the holy car, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you!" ”

Liu Che raised his head slightly and said, "It's okay!" What's the matter? ”

Yang said proudly: "Your Majesty, please ask to see you outside the palace of the Fang Palace!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Che raised his eyes and asked, "Pick up the palace maid of the Fang Palace?" Before the words fell, he stood up and said, "You mean the Fang Palace?" ”

Yang proudly took a step closer and reminded: "Yes, Pick Fang Palace!" ”

Liu Che was suddenly speechless, and waved his hand: "Quickly pass!" ”

After a while, Shu Yuxiao walked into the hall, leaned over and worshipped: "Shu Yu, the maid of the palace of the Fang Palace, knock to see Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Che hurriedly got up and left his seat, and said, "Hurry up!" But the husband asked you to come? ”

Shu Yu saw that Yang was proud, and he wanted to stop talking, Liu Che saw this and said: "Yang proud, you go out and cover the palace door." ”

Yang Deyi was already a smart man, and when he heard this, he hurriedly agreed to retreat and gently cover the hall. Liu Che said: "Now there are only you and me in the palace, you can rest assured that you can explain to me anything." ”

"No!" Shu Yu said, "Your Majesty, the girl has been pregnant with His Majesty's blood for more than a month. ”

"Really?" Liu Che was shocked at first when he heard this, and then said with joy: "My husband already has my emperor? Is this serious? ”

Shu Yu nodded and said, "The slave doesn't dare to deceive Your Majesty, this matter is true!" ”

"Good! That's great! I'm finally a father! Liu Che couldn't help talking to himself with joy, and suddenly became vigilant again, and asked in a low voice: "Who else knows about this?" ”

Shu Yu replied: "Except for Tian Mei and the slave, no one else knows about this matter, but..."

"Just what?" Liu Che just breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard this, he was nervous again.

"It's just that the weather is getting warmer day by day, and the child in the womb of the husband and girl is growing up day by day, and the slave and maid are worried that this matter will not be hidden for long, so Tian Meiren sent the slave and maid to come to see Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to decide!"

Liu Che's eyebrows furrowed when he heard this, and he paced back and forth in the hall silently, for a long time, Fang said: "Rong Zhen thinks about this matter carefully, you go back first to take care of your husband." ”

Shu Yu retreated in response and turned back to the Fang Palace, but he didn't know that there was a pair of suspicious eyes staring at her behind him and drifting away.

During the secret conversation between Shu Yu and Liu Che in the palace, Changqiu Wanlu, the eldest in the queen's palace, came to deliver snacks to Liu Che on the order of Gillian, but was stopped outside the palace by Yang proudly on the grounds that 'His Majesty has something important'. Wan Lu waited patiently for a long time, but saw that what walked out of the hall was just an old palace maid, and he couldn't help but keep an eye on it, and was about to present the dim sum, but Liu Che had already walked out of the hall and said proudly to Yang: "Drive Changle Palace!" ”

"No!" Yang proudly raised his voice and said: "Your Majesty is driving Changle Palace!" ”

Hearing this, Wan Lu had no choice but to carry the food box, lean down and stand aside, and as soon as Liu Che walked away, he hurriedly asked the little eunuchs around him: "The palace maid looked at the eye, which palace is it?" ”

When the little eunuch saw that it was Da Changqiu in the queen's palace, he didn't dare to hide it: "Back to Da Changqiu, it is appropriate to ask the maid of the Fang Palace to see Your Majesty." ”

"Pick up the Fang Palace?" Wan Luhu wondered, "Do you know what she is asking to see Your Majesty?" ”

"I don't know about this, I only know that she has been talking to His Majesty in detail in the palace for a long time." The little eunuch told him what he knew.

"Oh..."Wan Lu saw that he couldn't ask anything more, so he left thoughtfully with the food box.
