The sound of the rain was dripping, gradually becoming smaller, and large clouds in the sky were blown away by the wind, revealing the bright light behind them. The muddy soil soaked in rain was warm and moist, mixed with the fragrance of grass, and the court meeting in the front hall of Weiyang Palace had just ended, and when he saw Yang Deyi whispering a few words beside Liu Che, Liu Che hurried to Zhaoyang Palace.

"Madam, Your Majesty is here!" Hearing the sound of the front hall, Cai Xi whispered. Wei Zifu was lying on the bed, she was weak and weak after giving birth, the delicate baby next to her was her second child, the nurse had just fed her, and was sleeping deeply, looking at her sleeping, Wei Zifu's heart had a mother's tenderness and joy.

"Zifu..."With a burst of footsteps from far and near, Liu Che's voice sounded in his ears.

"Your Majesty!" Wei Zifu wanted to get up, but was gently pressed by Liu Che who came over, "You just gave birth to a child, you don't have to be polite!" Looking at the sleeping baby Liu Che in swaddling clothes, he looked carefully and asked with a smile: "Is the child asleep?" ”

"Hmm." Wei Zifu stroked the child's little face and said softly, "The nurse has just been breastfeeding, and it should be asleep." ”

"Good! As soon as I went down, I heard Yang proudly say that you were about to give birth, so I hurried over to take a look. Liu Che had a smile on his face, but there was an indescribable feeling in his heart. When Yang proudly told him that Mrs. Wei had given birth to a daughter, he was both happy and disappointed, perhaps he had always thought that this baby would be a boy, but when it backfired, the hidden loss in his heart rolled in.

"You have a good rest, I have to go to Changle Palace to say goodbye to the Queen Mother." Liu Che tried his best to get rid of the loss in his heart, and said in a good voice, "Later, I will let Yang proudly send the reward together." ”

"No! Thank you, Your Majesty! Wei Zifu nodded and saluted, looking at Liu Che's departing back, and her heart also had a faint layer of loss. How did she not know his expectations, for the emperor to have no children under his knees, it is a taboo in the country, not to mention that he has been on the board, and he is looking forward to the incense to continue, but giving birth to a boy and a girl is not a human power, and glanced at the child who was still sleeping in the swaddling clothes, Wei Zifu's heart was mixed.

In addition to gold, pearls, and jade, Liu Che also rewarded a cat's eye big East China Sea night pearl, a handful of long-handled jasper Ruyi, and the queen mother of Changle Palace rewarded a full-glazed beast horn and Tian jade cup, a beautifully carved screen copper vermilion bird, and the new princess gave the name Jun, the princess of Shiyi.

When the news reached Jiaofang Palace, Chen Ajiao secretly rejoiced that God still favored her after all.

-----

On the south-facing avenue of the North Que Jiadi District, there is a mansion facing the street and building a magnificent mansion, which is the eldest princess of the Jingdi Dynasty, the residence of the Empress Chen Ajiao's mother Liu Concubine Tangyi Hou Mansion.

Bypass the shadow wall, pass through the main hall, and then walk through two rows of hand-copying verandahs is the back garden of the house, it is now the late spring season, although the flowers in the garden are blooming warmly, but it is also the time to turn the tide, showing a slight decline, the warm sun is filled with the fragrance of flowers, people can't help but stop and sniff.

"Mother, that Wei gave birth, but he still gave birth to a daughter!" Gillian covered her mouth and smiled, and walked slowly along the flower path with Liu Concubine.

Liu Yan smiled and said: "It's spread in the palace, hmph, isn't it quite able to give birth, isn't it still a daughter when you are born?" Liu's smile was full of disdain.

"But..."Gillian raised her eyes and said with a hint of loss: "Your Majesty is still very happy..."

"Jiao'er..."Concubine Liu stopped, looked at Gillian and said slowly: "Whether Your Majesty likes it or not is secondary, and your stomach has to fight for qi is the most important!" ”

"Mother..."Gillian lowered her head, frowned and said worriedly: "Since the death of my grandmother, Your Majesty has only come to Jiaofang Hall a handful of times, and I don't know when the matter of heirs will come to an eyebrow like this." ”

Concubine Liu sighed lightly and nodded slowly, "Since your grandmother passed away, Your Majesty's favor to the Tangyi Marquis Mansion has also decreased a lot, and now although you are the queen, you have no heirs, and you have no incense foundation, I am afraid that this wealth will not last long." ”

"Mother, how is this good?" Gillian couldn't help but be even more anxious when she heard this.

Liu Yan's expression condensed slightly, and she muttered: "When my mother married your father, your grandmother gave me the Changmen Garden in the southeast of Chang'an City as a dowry. ”

"Mother, this is the dowry given to you by your grandmother, how can you give it up for Gillian?" Gillian was moved when she heard this, and she was naturally reluctant to give her mother to Changmen Garden, but she couldn't think of a better way, so she couldn't help but be sad and helpless.

"Jiao'er, the Changmen Garden is nothing, if you have no heirs and lose Your Majesty's favor, what is the use of your mother wanting this Changmen Garden?" Liu Yan shook her head slightly, took Gillian's hand and said earnestly: "Now there is only so much that Mother can do for you, Jiao'er, you have to seize the opportunity!" ”

Gillian nodded slightly with tears in her eyes and said, "Mother, Gillian will definitely not let you down!" ”

-----

"Che'er, I heard that the eldest princess dedicated the Changmen Garden given to her by the Empress Dowager to you, is this serious?" In the Changle Palace, while Liu Che greeted him, the Queen Mother asked with a smile.

Liu Che replied: "The queen mother did have this matter, and my aunt understood that it was a long way for her sons to go to the temple to worship, and there was no palace all the way, so she dedicated this Changmen Garden as a palace for her sons. ”

The queen mother bowed her head and said: "This eldest princess has changed her temperament, this will be impossible in the first emperor, speaking of which, I am afraid that this matter is also for Gillian!" ”

"What the queen mother said is very true!" Liu Che nodded and said, "My aunt hopes that her sons can remember the young love with the queen and treat her well." ”

"Well, that's a mother's heart!" The queen mother later agreed, and said: "Gillian and you fell in love when you were young, and the eldest princess also supported you back then, Che'er should also put her mind on Gillian." ”

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother's tone changed slightly, and said: "After all, Mrs. Nawei is favored, but she gave birth to princesses one after another, my son has been a great treasure for many years, and having no children under his knees is a taboo in the country. ”

Liu Che nodded lightly when he heard this, and remembered that Gillian had taken the initiative to go to Zhaoyang Hall to show his goodwill, and his heart softened a little, and said: "Thank you for reminding your mother, and your son understands!" ”

The sun is in a hurry, in a blink of an eye it is the middle of summer, the sun is scorching in Chang'an City, although the Changle Palace is full of green trees, but it can not cover the scorching sun, the cicadas outside the hall are singing one after another, and the noise makes the queen mother more and more upset and irritable.

"Queen Mother, this is a cold melon sent by His Majesty, saying that it can relieve heat and reduce heat." Lan Ye, who was beside the Queen Mother, stepped forward with a smile holding a cold melon and said, "Your Majesty really thinks about the Queen Mother in everything!" ”

The Queen Mother felt much more comfortable when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty still has a heart!" Lan Ye, go cut it! ”

"No!" Lan Ye immediately cut the cold melon and brought it up, just at this time Liu Ling also came to greet him, the Queen Mother couldn't help but smile and said: "Ling'er, you came at the right time, Your Majesty sent someone to send the cold melon to the mourning family, the juice is very sweet, sit down and taste it!" ”

Liu Ling smiled when he heard this: "Your Majesty is really filial to the Queen Mother, as soon as there are good things, I will send them to the Queen Mother, and I borrowed the blessings of the Queen Mother, and Ling'er will also be stained!" ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "Although the cold melon is not as sweet as your mouth, but Your Majesty is also filial piety, and often comes to the mourning family to say hello, and everything is also remembered by the mourning family." ”

Liu Ling said with a smile: "Isn't it, the Queen Mother is also thinking about Your Majesty everywhere, and the mother and son are connected!" ”

The Queen Mother was even more comfortable when she heard this, and said with a smile: "When something comes to you, it can always make the mourning family happy!" ”

"Queen Mother, don't you dare to say that, Ling'er has a troublesome thing today." Liu Ling frowned instead.

The Queen Mother couldn't help asking, "What is it that makes Ling'er so annoying?" ”

"This matter... Ling'er didn't know how to speak about this..."Liu Ling said, his face couldn't help but be a little shy.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother smiled and said: "Seeing that you are full of cleverness on weekdays, why did you talk about this matter so twisted?" ”

"Queen Mother, don't make fun of Ling'er." Liu Ling said shyly, "That's the case, my father saw that Ling'er was at this age and was alone in the capital, so he always urged Ling'er to return to Huainan, and specially pointed out a family matter to Ling'er. ”

"Hahaha! I see, isn't that a good thing? The Queen Mother laughed.

"Queen Mother, do you know something..."Liu Ling complained, "Ling'er doesn't like the family affairs that his father pointed out..."

"Oh..."The Queen Mother seemed to understand, and said: "Ling'er was born in the royal family, smart and reasonable, is it that the marriage that your father refers to is not in Ling'er's eyes, right?" ”

"Queen Mother..."Liu Ling replied when he heard this, his face turned even crimson, and he lowered his head more and more: "Queen Mother, you say, what should Ling'er do about this matter?" ”

Seeing Liu Ling like this, the Queen Mother's heart couldn't help but move, and said, "Ling'er, what do you think of Che'er of the mourning family?" ”

"Your Majesty?" Liu Ling blushed when he heard this, "Queen Mother..."

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Ling'er, you are very close to the mourning family, and the mourning family also likes you in their hearts, and now your father intends to marry you, dare to ask whose princes and kings can be compared with Your Majesty?" ”

"But... The Queen Mother..."Liu Ling was very happy when she heard this, she said so much, waiting for the Queen Mother's words, but she still hesitated on her face, "I don't know how Your Majesty feels about this matter?" ”

"Your Majesty has always been filial, and the words of the mourning family will not be disobeyed. The mourning family originally wanted to wait for a while to be closer to your majesty, but now that your father has urged, the mourning family will be a favor, do you think it's good? The Queen Mother looked at Liu Ling and was very satisfied.

Liu Ling's face was already flushed when he heard this, and he said shyly: "Ling'er is all up to the Queen Mother!" ”

Seeing this, the Queen Mother was overjoyed and said: "In this case, the mourning family should be decided!" Your Majesty often comes to the mourning palace to say hello, these days you will stay in the mourning palace for dinner, get close to your majesty, and arrange other things in mourning. ”

Liu Ling was overjoyed in his heart, and knelt down shyly and thanked: "Ling'er, thank you Queen Mother!" ”
