The warm autumn is fleeting, and the snow has fallen for a day and a night, and the snow in the courtyard has already piled up more than half a foot, and the trees are covered in silver, and the little snowflakes on the branches fall from time to time in the sun. Xiao Tianlan looked out the window at the snow, her heart was heavy, Wei Qing had not returned from the expedition for several months, and the child was about to give birth, Xiao Tianlan unconsciously stroked her stomach and sighed softly.

"Tianlan!" The thick curtain was raised, and with the sound, Wei Junru and Wei Shao'er rubbed their hands and walked in.

"Eldest sister, second sister!" Xiao Tianlan put away her thoughts and greeted her.

Wei Junru smiled: "What are you thinking, so obsessed? ”

Xiao Tianlan squeezed out a smile and said, "It's snowing so hard outside the house, I don't know if Wei Qing is cold at the border." ”

Wei Shao'er smiled: "I said, it turned out that I wanted Wei Qing, don't worry, he will take care of himself." ”

Wei Junru said: "Tianlan, you don't have to worry about Wei Qing, we will accompany you and wait for him to come back." ”

Xiao Tianlan had a hint of apology on her face when she heard this, and said, "Eldest sister, second sister, if it weren't for me, how could I delay Your Majesty's marriage for the two elder sisters..."

Wei Junru took Xiao Tianlan's hand and said: "Tianlan, we are all a family, Wei Qing is not there for me to take care of you with the children, it is natural for you, since Your Majesty has given the marriage, what does it matter if you salute later?" ”

Xiao Tianlan said gratefully: "Thank you, two sisters!" Before the words fell, I felt a pain in my abdomen, and unconsciously grabbed Wei Junru's hand and said with difficulty: "Eldest sister, I... I'm afraid I'm about to give birth..."

Wei Junru had never given birth, and he was at a loss when he saw this, but Wei Shao'er was not in a hurry, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Xiao Tianlan, and said to Wei Junru: "Sister, help Tianlan lie down first." ”

"Okay." Wei Junru nodded, and helped Xiao Tianlan to lie down on the couch with Wei Shao'er, Wei Shao'er said: "Eldest sister, you take care of Tianlan first, and I'll arrange it." Then he went out of the inner room, called to the servants of the house, and ordered him to go and ask Wen Po to prepare hot water, scissors, and clean clothes, and make all the arrangements properly.

Not long after, Wen Po came to the house with the servants, the hot water and clothes were ready, Xiao Tianlan was lying on the couch, and she was already in pain and couldn't help herself. Wei Shao'er comforted her with kind words on the side: "Tianlan, if you endure it for a while, the child will come out after a while." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Tianlan nodded, and as the pain became more and more intense, she could only hear her mother and say, "Soon, soon!" Hard, inhale, and push harder! I don't know how long it took, only to hear a cry of "wow...", followed by a noisy sound of joy, Xiao Tianlan was extremely tired, and fell asleep in a sound.

It was dusk when I woke up, the child was sleeping in swaddling clothes beside him, and by the dim light of the candlelight, Xiao Tianlan looked at it carefully, the small eyebrows and face, although they were new acquaintances, were so familiar, as if they were exactly the same as Wei Qingchang. Xiao Tianlan couldn't help but stretch out her hand, gently stroking the child, and said in her heart, Wei Qing, come back quickly, our child has been born, I want you to see him...

"Tianlan, are you awake?" Wei Junru, who was on the side, saw Xiao Tianlan wake up, walked over with a smile, and said, "Congratulations, you gave birth to a son!" ”

As he was talking, Wei Shao'er picked up the warm soup on the side and said, "Tianlan, come, drink some soup, you have to take more care after giving birth." ”

Seeing that Wei Junru and Wei Shao'er had been by their side, taking care of themselves meticulously, Xiao Tianlan's heart was warm, and she said gratefully: "Thank you, two sisters!" ”

"It's all a family, no need to thank you." Wei Junru smiled strangely, and then helped Xiao Tianlan to lie on his side on the waist pillow, while Wei Shao'er carefully fed Xiao Tianlan soup, "Tianlan, you need to drink more soup, you need to feed the child!" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Tianlan nodded, looked sideways at the sleeping child in the swaddling clothes, and her heart was full of the joy of being a first-time mother.

"Tianlan, when Wei Qing returns, I don't know how to be happy when I see the child!" Wei Junru's eyes were full of smiles.

Speaking of Wei Qing, Xiao Tianlan's heart was faintly worried, I didn't know how he was on the front line, and I didn't know when he would be able to come back, Wei Shao'er seemed to know her thoughts, looked out the window and said, "Yes, when the ice and snow melt, Wei Qing should also return triumphantly." ”

"Really? When the ice clears and the snow melts, will you come back? Xiao Tianlan muttered to herself, her heart full of anticipation.

-----

In March, the willows are dyed lightly yellow, the warblers fly and the grass grows, although there are still some warm and cold, but after all, the ice and snow melt, and the spring breeze is not cold.

"My wife, see the words as they are. I am well, and I am overjoyed to learn that you have given birth to a child for my family. You and the child, wait for me to return! Blue characters. ”

Xiao Tianlan held the child in the spring light, looked at the willow color of Moshang, and read the letter sent by Wei Qing from the front line half a month ago, with a lot of thoughts. At this time, a voice swept through his ears, "Tianlan, the queen is here." Before the person arrived, the sound arrived first, and I saw Wei Shao'er in a hurry, and ran to him happily and said.

"The queen is here?" Xiao Tianlan's face was overjoyed when she heard this, "But with Wei Qing's news?" ”

Wei Shao'er shook her head and said, "I don't know, as soon as the queen arrived, the eldest sister asked me to come over and call you over." ”

Xiao Tianlan nodded, the expectation in her heart dropped a few points, and Wei Shao'er said thoughtfully: "Maybe the queen also brought news of Wei Qing, we won't know in the past." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Tianlan bowed her head and said, "Second sister, go!" ”

Walking to the main hall of the Hou Mansion, I saw Wei Zifu sitting in the center in a lake water pattern curved robe, rouge lightly swept the Emei sketch, revealing the heavenly temperament in the simplicity, and was chuckling and talking about the family life with the eldest sister Wei Junru.

"Knock on the Queen! Queen Wan'an! Xiao Tianlan was about to bow down, but Wei Zifu hurriedly left his seat and said, "Hurry up and flatten down!" It's all your own family, don't be polite! ”

Seeing Xiao Tianlan holding the child in his arms, Wei Zifu couldn't help but reach out and hug him, looking at the child's pink and jade face, Wei Zifu smiled: "It's getting more and more similar to Wei Qingchang." ”

Hearing Wei Zifu mention Wei Qing, Xiao Tianlan couldn't help but ask, "I don't know if the queen has any news about Wei Qing?" ”

"Hmm." Wei Zifu nodded, and said: "A few days ago, there was news from the border pass, the Xiongnu gathered a large number of cavalry to attack Shanggu and Yuyang, plundered and killed thousands of people, and His Majesty ordered Wei Qing and General Li Xi to lead the army to fight back, so it will take some time for Wei Qing to come back." ”

"Tianlan, you can wait with peace of mind..."Wei Zifu saw that Xiao Tianlan was worried about Wei Qing, and couldn't help but comfort him.

"Thank you, Queen!" Xiao Tianlan said, "The concubine only hopes that Wei Qing will return safely." ”

"Wei Qing is brave and good at fighting, and the Huns will be able to return safely when they are pacified!" Looking at the dark eyes of the child in his arms, Wei Zifu stroked it lightly and smiled, "You see that the child is so cute, how happy you should be when Wei Qing returns!" ”

"Isn't it?" Wei Shao'er said with a smile, "Qing'er received a letter from Tianlan's son, and she must be eager to fly back!" ”

Wei Shao'er's words made everyone laugh, and Xiao Tianlan couldn't help but smile, the family is always so down-to-earth and warm together. "Wei Qing, you must come back safely, the child and I are still waiting for you..."Xiao Tianlan said silently in her heart.

-----

"Ahh Yes! A scream came from Hehuan Hall from time to time, "Why are you still stunned, hurry up and get another basin of hot water!" Mixed with various voices, the people in the inner palace of Hehuan Hall looked in a hurry, and they were busy because Wang Yi was about to give birth.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" As the sound of the passage outside the hall sounded, Wei Zifu hurriedly bowed down to greet him: "The concubine welcomes Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed!" ”

"Queen?" Seeing Wei Zifu greeting him in the Hehuan Palace, Liu Che was surprised and said, "Why is the queen here?" ”

"The concubine heard that Wang Meiren gave birth, so she came to see where she needed help." Wei Zifu replied respectfully.

Liu Che nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said, "The queen is virtuous, she has a heart!" ”

"When did Wang Meiren start to have abdominal pain?" Liu Che turned his head and asked the palace people.

The palace maid replied in a solemn voice: "Back to Your Majesty, Chenshi." ”

"Chenshi?" Liu Che frowned, "It's almost noon now, why hasn't there been any movement?" ”

"This..."The palace maid didn't know how to answer, and Wei Zifu responded: "Your Majesty, Wang Meiren's first birth will inevitably take longer, and Your Majesty doesn't need to worry." ”

While he was talking, the attendant hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the border pass." ”

"Where is the messenger?" Liu Che asked anxiously when he heard this.

The attendant replied, "Your Majesty, the messenger is already waiting in the inner hall of the Xuanshu Palace. ”

Liu Chewei thought for a while and said to Wei Zifu: "Letter from the border pass, queen, I will leave it to you here." With you here, I can rest assured. After that, he hurried to the Xuanshu Palace.

After an hour, I only heard a cry coming from the inner room, and it didn't take long for Xingxiang to run out to report the good news, and when he saw Wei Zifu in the palace, he had to go up and say: "Kick off the queen, Wang Meiren gave birth to the prince." ”

"Okay." Wei Zifu said with a smile, "Go to the Xuanmur Hall and inform Your Majesty that Wang Meimei gave birth to a prince for Your Majesty." ”

Xingxiang went as promised, Wei Zifu turned his head and said to Cai Xi: "Cai Xi, let's go inside and see Wang Meiren." Cai Xi pursed his lips and said, "Maybe people don't welcome us." ”

Wei Zifu glanced at Cai Xi and reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense." Cai Xi hurriedly lowered his head and walked into the inner room, only to see Wang Yi lying on the couch tired and recuperating with his eyes closed, Wei Zifu stepped forward and said: "Wang Meiren, great joy!" ”

Wang Yi was waiting for Liu Che to come with joy, when he heard this, he opened his eyes and saw Wei Zifu standing in front of him, looking around left and right but not seeing Liu Che, he was disappointed, and blurted out: "Why didn't Your Majesty come?" ”

Wei Zifu said: "There is an urgent report ahead, Your Majesty went to the Xuanmur Hall to inquire about the messenger, and ordered the palace to take care of everything temporarily before leaving." Wang Yi knew that he was at a loss when he heard this, and bowed his head slightly and said, "The concubine has seen the queen." ”

Wei Zifu smiled and said, "No need to be polite. How is the little prince? ”

Wang Yi nervously hugged the child and said, "The little prince is all right, thank you to the queen." Seeing this, Wei Zifu immediately retracted his hand that was about to reach out to hold the child, and said with a smile: "Okay, that's good." ”

At this time, Xingxiang hurriedly came and said, "Beauty, Your Majesty is here!" Your Majesty is here! In a blink of an eye, seeing Wei Zifu standing in front of him, Xingxiang hurriedly leaned over and said, "The slave has seen the queen!" ”

"Hahahaha!" It didn't take long to see Liu Che overjoyed, striding into the inner room, hearing Liu Che's laughter, Wang Yi's face was radiant again, and he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "The concubine has seen Your Majesty!" ”

"The concubine has seen Your Majesty! Your Majesty is overjoyed! Wei Zifu leaned over and said respectfully.

"Good! Good! The queen has worked hard! Liu Che approached and smiled, "Let me see the little prince." ”

Wang Yi hurriedly motioned for Xingxiang to pick up the child and said, "Your Majesty, the child can't see his father crying." Liu Che took the child and smiled: "Oh, my child, the father is here!" ”

"Queen, do you think this child looks like me?" Liu Che hugged the child and asked Wei Zifu with a smile while watching. Wei Zifu approached and said with a smile: "The little prince is His Majesty's flesh and blood, and naturally he is very similar to His Majesty. ”

Liu Che said: "I see, it's almost the same as when I was born, hahahaha!" ”

Wang Yi saw that Liu Che hugged the child and was close to Wei Zifu, but he didn't say hello to himself at all, and his heart couldn't help but be sour, and his expression darkened unconsciously. Wei Zifu saw it in his eyes and said to Liu Che: "Your Majesty, Wang Meiren has just given birth to the prince and her body is weak, and the concubine will see if she needs to send the imperial doctor to order some more medicinal food to replenish her body?" ”

After Wei Zifu said this, Liu Che Fangjue snubbed Wang Yi and said busily: "This is natural, Wang Yi gave birth to the prince for me, and the matter of adjusting her body will be handed over to the queen." After that, he handed the child to Wang Yi's attendant, and said warmly: "There is a nurse to feed the child, you can rest and recuperate." ”

Wang Yi's eyes turned red, and he nodded: "Thank you, concubine, Your Majesty!" Please also give the name of our child. ”

Liu Che pondered for a while, and said: "Hong, Da Ye, broad and broad, Liu Hong, how is it?" ”

"Liu Hong, Hong'er." Wang Yi nodded happily and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving Hong'er the name." ”

Wei Zifu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Wang Meimei gave birth to the little prince Liu Hong for my big man, and she can also be promoted to a lady in terms of position." ”

Liu Che nodded and said, "Spread my will, and give birth to a prince with Wang Yi of Huan Palace, and be promoted to a lady from now on!" Give two pairs of jade beads, one coral tree, two pairs of agate bracelets, and one hundred taels of satin and gold! Tell the world that Weiyang Palace has added another prince! ”

Wang Yi was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "Concubine, thank Your Majesty!" Empress Xie! ”

Liu Che turned his head to Wei Zifu and said: "Queen, you are the head of the harem, and you will be in charge of all matters in the palace in the future!" ”

Wei Zifu bowed his head and leaned over in response: "No! ”

Liu Che said again: "Queen, I still have good news to tell you, the messenger brought news that Wei Qing led the army to trap the Xiongnu's Aries King and Lou Fu King, killing thousands of enemies, and now that the victory has been decided, I have decreed that I can return to the court in a few days." ”

When Wei Zifu heard that his younger brother was about to return, he couldn't help but rejoice: "Great! Wei Qing is finally back! ”
