Chapter 101: Child
Lin Yao seems to have changed like a different person in the past few days, and when he heard that the emperor went to Jiang Wan, he uncharacteristically didn't even drop anything, and he rarely even went out of the door. The harem said that it may have been a mother that inspired the goodwill in the concubine's heart, and everyone was happy to see it happen, the current situation in the harem is very clear that Jiang Wan has the upper hand, but the concubine is not jealous, if she makes a move on the harem, everyone doesn't know what the final result will be, so they can only pray that the concubine will not hit the abacus on her head and let her own life live a stable life.
Lin Yao became more and more quiet, which attracted Lu Zhixing's attention, if Lin Yao could keep to herself like this, for the sake of the child's face, he could also let her stay in the position of the concubine all the time.
When Lu Zhixing was a teenager, he once saw a concubine beat her child to death so that the emperor could come to her, so he was very disgusted with concubines who attacked children, which is why he did not hesitate to beat Jiang Wan into the cold palace. A woman who doesn't even let go of a young heart, what qualifications does she have to honor the world. It's been a long time, but it's still a pimple for him.
Lu Zhixing frowned, put down the fold and said to the people around him, "Go to the concubine tonight." The slave beside him was stunned, and then retreated with an impermanent face, and then the news that Jiang Wan had fallen out of favor spread throughout the harem.
When Jiang Wan heard that Lu Zhixing was going to Lin Yao, he shook his head in disappointment, looked at the gradually darkening sky and said to the palace maid: "Take these meals in, the emperor will not come today." β
A palace maid dressed in pink walked into the bedroom with a meal and said indignantly: "Niangniang, don't be sad. The emperor only went because he was afraid of the child in Lin Guifei's belly, but in fact, he loved you the most. β
Jiang Wan smiled and pinched her face and asked, "What name do you say?" β
The pink-clothed palace maid immediately knelt down and saluted: "Back to Niangniang, slave maid Die'er." β
"Butterfly, what a good name." Jiang Wan said thoughtfully, "It's just that people who are too simple can't live long in this palace." β
Die'er scratched her head and said embarrassedly: "Actually, my father is a petty official, we can go out when we are old, and my father has arranged it for me." β
Jiang Wan suddenly asked her, "Do you think the palace is good?" β
Die'er touched her chin and pondered: "The palace is beautiful everywhere, and here I have seen delicious delicacies and countless gold, silver and jewels that I have never seen before. As soon as the conversation turned, she continued: "But Niangniang, what do you really want me to say. I don't like it. There are so many fun things to do outside the palace, I think the palace is too rigid. This can be said to be a big rebellion, but it is in line with Jiang Wan's heart.
"You'll be there for you later." Jiang Wan said.
Die'er was stunned for a moment and hurriedly thanked her, and then asked, "Niangniang, what are you asking for in this palace?" β
Jiang Wan's thoughts were dim, and his voice was so light that he could barely hear it, "But if you want a single-minded person, the white head will not be separated." Die'er was impressed by this bold idea, people have long been accustomed to three wives and four concubines, but really single-minded good men are regarded as afraid of wives, and most women have accepted their fate. It's just that this is a harem, so why wouldn't it be naΓ―ve to think like this?
After Lin Yao heard that the emperor was coming to her, she was overjoyed, Jiang Wan still want to fight with me? I can destroy you once, and I can destroy you a second time.
No matter how vicious the thoughts in his heart were, Lin Yao still had a gentle smile on his face. She is wearing a water-colored skirt today, simple and clean without cumbersome decorations, only a white belt around her waist to set off her waist, and the skirt ripples like water waves as she walks, making her more gentle and well-behaved.
Lu Zhixing's eyes lit up when he looked at her, and he sighed again: A woman who is a mother is different. Lu Zhixing helped her up, and his eyes couldn't help but say gently: "Since you are a mother, don't force yourself like this, if you have anything to want, just tell me." β
Lin Yao's eyes were hot, "Concubine, it's enough for concubines to have these, as long as the emperor can see his concubines from time to time, the concubines will be content." How dare you ask for anything else. β
Lu Zhixing sighed and hugged her into the house.
The picture of this Lang having a concubine has been spread by well-wishers, and for a while, the people in the harem are not sure who can get to the back seat, Jiang Wan or Lin Yao, I thought that Jiang Wan had won the roll, tonight it seems that the emperor still has feelings for Lin Guifei, and Lin Yao has a child after all, and the chances of winning are not small.
Die'er glanced at Jiang Wan, who was pretending to read, and said distressedly: "Niangniang, it's not too early, let's rest early." β
Jiang Wan shook his head, took out a pen and paper, and began to think about the murderer of the Queen Mother. Seeing that she insisted, Die'er couldn't persuade her again, so she silently withdrew.
Compared with Jiang Wan's seriousness, Lin Yao is warm here.
Lu Zhixing was very happy about what he was going to do as a father, he knew that Jiang Wan longed for freedom, but although the current internal affairs were stable, the enemy forces had been eyeing him. If this child can be born, raise him by himself and slowly grasp the imperial power, coupled with the assistance of the prince to stabilize the inside and outside of the court, he can take Wanwan to play in the mountains and rivers, and then Wanwan will be really happy.
Lin Yao didn't know what he thought, looking at the emperor whose eyes were becoming more and more gentle, she snorted coldly in her heart: Jiang Wan, I see what you are fighting with me.
She took Lu Zhixing's hand and put it on her stomach, and said gently: "The emperor touches it, and the concubine always feels that she can feel the heartbeat of this little life." β
Lu Zhixing quipped: "You've only been a few months now, and you can hear the child's heartbeat." Can't you wait to be quite a concubine? β
Seeing that she was dressed in blue, she was a little familiar and couldn't help asking, "This dress?" β
Lin Yao couldn't help but have two red clouds on his face, and his voice became thinner and smaller: "The first time the concubine wore this dress to bear the emperor's grace," the words changed and his tone trembled: "It is this dress that connects me and Long'er." β
"Dragon?" Lu Zhixing asked suspiciously.
The blue lower skirt was suddenly wet with tears, "That, that's the concubine's first child." After speaking, sorrow came from it, and he hid his face and cried.
Lu Zhixing didn't know what to say, Jiang Wan did something wrong in this matter, but he was sorry for that child after all. He had no choice but to pat Lin Yao's shoulder comfortingly.
"Your Majesty, do you know?" Lin Yao recalled with tears in her eyes: "I've thought about it, if it's a girl, it's called Ling'er, smart and clever." If it's a boy, it's called Xuan'er, and he will be free for the rest of his life. At that time, I wondered every day whether my children would be more like me, or more like Your Majesty. β
Lin Yao wiped her tears, pulled him to a box, opened it and saw that it was all children's things, she took out two sets of children's clothes and said to Lu Zhixing: "This is the clothes I made for Ling'er and Xuan'er." The concubine never thought that her children could be in a high position, the concubine just hoped that they could grow up peacefully and carefree. Your Majesty, is this kind of request too much for a mother? Lin Yao stepped forward and grabbed his collar and asked, "Your Majesty!" Is this excessive, I ask? β
She stumbled to the bed and said, "Why? Why don't you let me go? You're a queen. Tears couldn't stop flowing, in the face of Lin Yao's grief, Lu Zhixing could only be silent, he himself felt that this matter was indeed Jiang Wan's fault.
Lin Yao came back to her senses, wiped away her tears, and said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry I lost my temper." She touched her belly and said, "Your Majesty, I think this child is our dead child who has returned." β
Lu Zhixing was silent and didn't know what to say.
"Your Majesty, do you say that this child will come to this world safely?" Lin Yao lowered her eyes and asked.
Lu Zhixing held her hand and comforted her: "Yes, it will be, don't think about it, it's not good if you have tire gas." β
Lin Yao looked at him and smiled weakly, "I also asked the Queen Mother before, and the Queen Mother said the same." β
Lu Zhixing squinted: "When will you see the Queen Mother?" β
Lin Yao's face turned pale and said nervously: "On the day after the ministers said that they would be sealed, I was afraid that the old things would repeat themselves and begged the Queen Mother to keep this child, and I was willing to give up everything for this child." It's just, it's just that the concubine didn't expect something like that to happen. Please also ask the emperor to forgive the sin. She pounced and knelt at Lu Zhixing's feet.
Lu Zhixing helped her up and said, "I didn't say it was you, since you are pregnant, don't be surprised and not good for the fetus." β
Lin Yao obediently sat on the bed and said tremblingly: "The concubine is afraid that someone will slander the concubine because of this matter, it doesn't matter if the concubine is dead, but the concubine wants this child to survive, this is the concubine's only wish." β
Lu Zhixing looked at Lin Yao, who was brilliant in motherhood, and comforted again: "Don't worry, don't think about it." I promise that if you have a boy in your belly, I will make him the crown prince. β
Lin Yao nodded obediently and rested with Lu Zhixing.
And here Jiang Wan watched the moon move eastward, and his hard work finally came to fruition after one night. There were a lot of words written densely on the paper in front of her, as well as countless small arrows, but the name in the middle was eye-catchingly circled, and it was Lin Yao.
Jiang Wan nodded, expressing surprise and reasonableness for this result. Lin Yao has always felt that she has crossed over, and naturally she wants to achieve a great career, becoming a queen has become her goal, and when Lu Zhixing slowly noticed that she and her identity as a traverser was exposed, it immediately caused her panic. At that time, the call for the court to establish herself as the queen was very high, and the queen mother vigorously promoted this matter, and it is intriguing that before the queen mother died, Lin Yao claimed that she was pregnant and had been staying in the palace. This has to make people doubt her, she is the one who has the most motivation and time to do this.
There is also a question in this way, the Queen Mother's night meal is poisonous, who did she bribe to poison the Queen Mother?
Jiang Wan's eyes flashed a trace of ruthlessness, after she came here, the Queen Mother was really a good person to herself, giving her newcomer a little comfort, Lin Yao actually dared to do something to the Queen Mother, she must let her die well, in order to tell the Queen Mother's spirit in the sky.
