Chen Qian's palm fell on my lower abdomen very gently, and she whispered, "Qing'er, this is our child, do you want it to be a boy or a girl?" ”

"Aren't boys and girls all the same?" I'm a little impatient.

"Yes, boys and girls are the same." Chen Qian smiled, "As long as it's Qing'er's child, I like it." ”

"Your Majesty has eleven sons." I quietly reminded him that he had so many children that he liked them all, and that he liked them.

"It's different." Chen Qian loosened my waist, turned my body over, and said firmly and stubbornly, "This is our child, it is your and my child." I will give him the best in this world, love him, love him, spoil him, and protect him for the safety of his life. Just because, it's our children. ”

I value this child so much, I don't know what kind of expression he will have when he knows that the child will flow away, just thinking about it makes me feel happy.

In a trance, I heard Chen Qian asking me, "Qing'er, what are you thinking?" ”

"Nothing." I pretended to be sad and said, "I'm thinking about Wan Zhaoyi, she has no child, she hurt her body because of the medicine of the tiger and wolf, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get pregnant again in the future, it's really pitiful." "I'm just going to pick on your thorns, deliberately mention your old lover and your dead child, bloody facts, a life, see what mood you still have in this tenderness and sweetness.

Sure enough, Chen Qian's face sank, staring at me angrily, and his face was long.

After a long time, I heard a helpless sigh, "I'm going to be a mother, and I can't let go of the past?" "He also knew that I was hating him for the past, and deliberately picking on his thorns.

Seeing that I didn't answer, Chen Qian had no choice but to shift my attention to my lower abdomen, his eyes were strangely gentle, with the joy and expectation of being a father, "Qing'er, this is my child, and it is also your child." You'll love him and protect him like I did, and you won't hurt him, right? ”

Is this a warning to me not to do anything to the child, he has always known that I am using musk for contraception, but he has been silent on his face, secretly asking Li Fei to change my musk, maintaining the false harmony on the surface. It turned out that he didn't believe me either, afraid that I would be bad for the child?

"This is my child, and I certainly won't hurt him." Dispel his suspicions first.

With my assurance, Chen Qian's face relaxed a little, pulled me into his arms, and gently hugged me, not daring to exert force, for fear of hurting the fetus in her womb.

I looked down and watched the flowers fall silently.

——

The battle of Chen Zhou in the year was a great setback to the Zhou army, and the power of the Zhou State in Xiangzhou, Bazhou collapsed, and the Chen State completely unified the Jiangnan area and expanded its territory. Among them, the prince of Qingyuan County has made great contributions, and now he has returned to the dynasty from the Bazhou victory class, Chen Qian was overjoyed to change his title to the prince of Guiyang County, read his merits, and specially commended his relatives and relatives to visit Kong Guifei in the palace, in order to comfort the heart of Kong Guifei's relatives.

Because Han Xiuhua's Daiyan Garden is close to Chonghua Palace, when I go to see Han Xiuhua, I naturally have to pass through Chonghua Palace. On this day, I met the relatives who came to the palace to visit Concubine Kong.

The brocade clothes are luxurious, the wide sleeves are floating, the waist is decorated with a jasper ring, the body is erect, the facial features are distinct, the eyes are like paint, the spirit is vibrant, and the spirit is high-spirited, showing the flamboyant and graceful.

I looked at the young man who slowly walked out of Chonghua Palace not far away, and asked Yunxi beside me, "Yunxi, do you know this person?" ”

"The slave maid knows that this person is Hou Dun, the son of the Duke of Guiyang County, and it is not the first time he has entered the palace to visit the concubine Niangniang, the slave maid has seen Hou Gongzi before." Yunxi naturally answers questions whenever he asks.

In this way, this person is Kong Guifei's cousin.

Looking at the figure of the person leaving, I thought for a while, Chen Qian didn't want to see Concubine Kong, but for the sake of her uncle who was the founding father and the pillar of the country, the honor and privileges that should be given to her were still a lot, and there was always one time a month in Chonghua Palace, and family members were allowed to visit the palace from time to time, which was difficult for many women in the harem to want. Having a powerful uncle as a backstage is just different.

Walk slowly, stop in a primrose flower bush, the slender flower branches are obliquely out, the green branches are clear, the flowers are gorgeous, charming, the sun is rippling, even with the flowers also have a unique light, the streamer is bright, and the style is better.

On the oblique flower branches, a delicate and small light purple sachet is hung on the hook, and the lower end of the water blue tassel moves in the wind, like willow silk swaying. I bent down, picked up the sachet, and looked at it carefully, the sachet was embroidered with green leaves and red lotus, mandarin ducks playing in the water, and a pattern of children's feelings. The stitches are smooth and delicate, the lines are smooth and graceful, and it seems that the person who made the work has put a lot of thought into it. But what caught my eye the most was the faded and whitish word "Qing" embroidered on the embroidery pattern.

Yunxi stared at the sachet curiously, "Who dropped the sachet here?" ”

"It's down." It was a deep male voice.

I turned around and saw that this person was Hou Dun, the son of Hou Andu, who had gone and returned.

"I accidentally left the sachet here, can I return the sachet to the next one?" According to my dress, it is not difficult for him to guess the identity of my palace concubine.

I was not in a hurry to return it, but asked, "What proof does Hou Gongzi have to prove that this sachet is yours?" ”

Hou Dun said unhurriedly, "This sachet is embroidered with red lotus mandarin ducks, and there is also the word 'Qing' on it. "When he said the word 'Qing', his gaze was strangely soft.

Seeing that what he said was correct, I gave the sachet to Yunxi and motioned for her to return it to Hou Dun.

"Mandarin ducks playing in the water, a lot of lingering feelings. This sachet must have been given by Mrs. Zun, right? I asked.

Hou Dun took the sachet and did not deny it, but said with a smile: "Thank you, Niangniang." ”

With that, his fingers gently caressed the sachet and carefully put it in his arms, as if he was protecting an incomparably precious treasure, lest the things of the world would defile it.

Seeing Hou Dun leave, Yunxi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Hou Gongzi carried the things given by his wife with him, and cherished them like treasures, which shows that they have a deep relationship between husband and wife. ”

My mind was not here, but I asked Yunxi, "Yunxi, do you know the name of Mrs. Hou Gongzi?" But there is a word 'Qing'? ”

Yunxi shook her head, "The slave maid has never seen Mrs. Hou, nor has anyone ever heard of her mentioned, so how can she know Mrs. Hou's name?" ”

"Then ......," I thought about it again and asked, "Concubine Kong's boudoir name has the word 'Qing'?" ”

"Huh!" Yunxi exclaimed in surprise, "How did Niangniang know that there is a word 'Qing' in the concubine's maiden name, and the concubine's maiden name is the word 'Qingqing'." ”

I was silent, just turned my head to look at Chonghua Palace, and my heart was surging.

Perhaps, the seemingly arrogant and domineering Concubine Kong is not as arrogant, unreasonable, arrogant and ignorant as people think?

Everyone, in a hidden corner of their hearts, has an unknown side, an unknown ...... Sad.

——

The layout of Daiyan Garden is fresh and elegant, rare gold, silver, pearls and jade, and it is very plain. A small Boshan furnace is placed on the desk in front of the hall, curling smoke, is a faint pear blossom fragrance, such as rain and mist, swirling all over the room fragrant, as if there is a dense pear blossom rain in ***, sweet and comfortable, flowers like snow.

I came to Daiyan Garden, not to have tea and chat with Han Xiuhua, but to learn from her about the situation of the Fuliang Society. learned from Han Xiuhua that the Fuliang Society was the force of the former Liang Fugitive Old Ministers' organization, hiding his identity and hiding in all corners of Jiankang City, spying on intelligence and plotting to restore the country. However, in my opinion, the Fuliang Society is mostly a rabble, a plate of scattered sand, and it will not become a big climate. For thousands of years, has any country been able to recover after it has been destroyed? There is only one person, and there is no one who comes. They want to restore the beam, I think it's just a dream.

Although they can't restore the country, it is still possible to assassinate Chen Qian, not to mention that it is none of my business whether they return to the country or not. I only care if they can help me kill Chen Qian.

After the failure of the last Chongyun Palace's assassination, the Fuliang Society, which was originally extremely well hidden, exposed some of its forces. Chen Qian has already noticed the Fuliang Society, and in the past few months, he has been investigating and secretly visiting, but it really made them discover a Fuliang Hui elements, and vigorously track down and kill them, which caused the Fuliang Society to be greatly injured, and they can only wait for rest and recuperate, and they can't make any big moves against Chen Qian for a while. What a pity!

"Some women are willing to bear children for a man because they love that man; and some people want to use their children to keep their status, so that they can have a support for the rest of their lives; There are also some people who want to have a child with them because they are afraid of being alone. I don't know what kind of person Sister Han is? I looked at Han Xiuhua, who was teasing the baby in the swaddling clothes, and said half-puzzled and half-tentative.

I asked suddenly, Han Xiuhua was stunned, and said quietly: "Naturally, it is the third type, Chen Qian's uncle and nephew are the enemies of my Liang Kingdom, I can't hate him, how can I love him?" As for status, I'm here for revenge, and status or something, it doesn't matter to me. "Han Xiuhua's performance is like a delicate bush branch, which seems to be weak, but in fact it has thorns.

A trace of struggle flashed in Han Xiuhua's eyes, and he said slowly: "I'm just afraid of being lonely, the road to revenge is long, and it is possible that I can't wait for a successful day in my life, do I want to die alone?" I don't want to be alone, I'm afraid. It was only when I looked at this child that I felt that my life was not nothing but hatred, that I still had this child, and that there was a meaning to live. ”

Watching Han Xiuhua gently caress her child, I was silent.

As long as Han Xiuhua is not in love with Chen Qian, otherwise, I will be in danger.

For a long time, Han Xiuhua said to me solemnly as if he had made up his mind, "Since you and I are now on the same boat, there is one thing I might as well tell you." ”

Seeing her so mysterious, as if there was something important, I listened intently.

"I know, on the night of the night banquet in Chongyun Palace, someone took advantage of the chaos to push you, causing you to almost die under the sword, I saw who the person who pushed you was." Han Xiuhua's eyes were solemn, as deep as the sea, "It's the big palace maid beside Yan Shuyuan-Su Tong." ”

My eyelashes twitched slightly, and I said in surprise: "I have always suspected that that night, someone wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill people with a knife to get rid of me, but I never thought it was her!" "It's actually that virtuous, decent, gentle and generous Yan Shuyuan!

Han Xiuhua snorted lightly, "She is a hidden person, do you remember what Concubine Kong said that she was here?" ”

Recalling the words of Concubine Kong on the frost chrysanthemum platform, I whispered: "More wisdom is close to demons, more benevolence is close to deceit." ”

"Yes, more wisdom is close to demons, more benevolence is close to deceit. Although Kong Guifei is arrogant, her eyes are accurate, and you and I are not as good as her in this regard. Yan Shuyuan usually thinks about others everywhere and looks kind and kind, who would have thought that she would harm you. ”

I made up my mind and said, "Thank you for telling me about this, I know what to do." ”
