In the fourth year of Jiajia, a heavy snow fell for three days in a row, day and night. The snow closed the door, and everything in the world was buried under the snow, not only the bones of beggars on the roadside, but also those pickled conspiracies that were already invisible.

"Queen, exert yourself! Come, listen to me... Inhale... Exhale..."

Basins of blood came out of the queen's bedroom, even the palace maids who had been trained for a long time were still frightened, and the hands holding the basins kept shaking, and some blood accidentally splashed on the snow in the courtyard before they could be cleaned. The red and warm blood, the silver-white and cold snow are mixed together, dazzling but revealing a strange poignant.

"Ahh If the slave is not careful, the slave should be damned... Slaves and maids should be damned! begging the emperor for forgiveness..."I made a mistake in my busyness, a basin of water was splashed at the emperor's feet, and the black imperial boots embroidered with a golden dragon splashed a few drops of blood, but I didn't look carefully and couldn't see it.

"Bold! Dare to surprise the emperor! Someone..."

"It's okay, maybe it's a slippery road in the snow, so get back."

"Thank you for your kindness...", the slave seemed to be too frightened, and knelt forward a few steps, as if to take back the snow-stained basin.

The goose-yellow gauze lifted up with the palace maid's movements, revealing the white and lustrous arms and the red cinnabar mole on the arms. Because the basin was on the side, she tilted her head slightly, and her neck was more graceful and slender, and when the wind blew, a strand of uncoiled hair hung down, scattering her side face. The fluttering snowflakes, the hazy side face, and the goose-yellow light veil are obviously cold winter, but they bring people a warm spring atmosphere.

"Bold! Don't get out of the way yet! ”

The palace maid didn't seem to have come to her senses, she raised her head in a daze, her cherry lips opened slightly, but after seeing the emperor, she seemed to come back to her senses in an instant, and her head quickly drooped: "Thank you for your kindness." Then he walked to one side, his eyes on the ground, and he did not dare to look up.

Until, a pair of dark boots embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon stopped in front of him.

"Look up." A majestic voice came from above.

The palace maid shrank and raised her head timidly, but her eyes wandered, and she didn't dare to look at the emperor.

"You're from the Queen's Palace? How come I have never seen you? ”

"Back to the emperor, the slave and maid are new, and because the queen's production is not going well and there is not enough manpower, the slave and maid are transferred."

"Well, then come to the Chenqing Palace tonight to serve."

"Back to the emperor, slaves, slaves... The midwife said that the queen's birth was not going well, and she needed manpower, and the slaves and maids and slaves and maids might not be able to leave. The weak tone and trembling body seemed to be desperate to say this.

"Stand up."

The palace maid stood up tremblingly, as if she had been kneeling in the snow for too long and her legs were weak, and she stumbled for a moment, thinking that she would fall into the biting snow, so she closed her eyes tightly. I didn't want to encounter the unexpected cold, but I fell into a warm embrace full of ambergris.

The palace maid struggled to get up, but was pressed by the emperor's arms and couldn't move.

"What's your name?"

"The slave's original name was Wang Xiu, but because she was a newcomer, she had not yet received the master, nor did she get the name of the master."

"Your name is determined by me." The emperor picked up the palace maid's chin with his hand, rubbed his fingers against her delicate cheeks and felt the palace maid's trembling, hooked the corners of his lips, "The skin is as white as snow, but it is like the temperature of spring, you will call 'Ji Yingxue' in the future." ”

"Tell the queen, she doesn't lack this person, I will take this person away. Let her have a good life, if she is a prince, but she will be a prince. ”

"But... Your Majesty, after all, the queen is in production, and at this time inform... Whether..."

The emperor's hand stroking the palace maid's cheek paused, "That's it, after all, the crown prince was born, so I will wait in the side hall." ”

"Emperor, Emperor, slaves and maids can go by themselves." The timid voice was particularly pitiful.

The emperor chuckled: "I wonder if you will be able to leave by yourself in a while?" ”

The father-in-law and the palace maid on the emperor's side all looked at the nose and nose, but the palace maid was still ignorant on her face, as if she didn't understand this explicit remark at all.

"Xiao Xizi, go to the library and bring "Drunken Spring Breeze" to Yingxue for observation."

"Yes, the minion will go."

The emperor picked up the little palace maid by the waist and strode into the palace closest to the queen's birth.

The courtyard is full of spring, but the interior is filled with gloomy clouds.

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, wake up, you can't sleep! His Royal Highness is about to come out! The mother is so beautiful, Her Royal Highness must be very handsome, and the emperor will definitely like it! ”

"Your Majesty, Chenfeng... Is Chen Feng coming? The queen's consciousness was already blurred, and she just whispered the emperor's name.

"Niangniang, the emperor is outside", although the queen's personal mother heard the advice of the people below, and kept scolding the cheap maid who actually seduced the emperor when the queen had a difficult birth, but she really couldn't bear to say these pickled things, "The emperor also said that if the little prince is going to be the prince in the future!" ”

"I thought he wasn't coming." The sound as thin as a gossamer spit out from the miserable white lips, so light that it was almost inaudible, but it was like a thin needle piercing into a person's heart, not painful but uncomfortably tight.

"Ah...", another sharp pain hit, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on the forehead that had just been wiped dry, and the emanation of the cheeks had already been soaked with sweat, not as soft as before, and the strands were stuck together, and the black hair was even more pale, and there was no trace of blood.

"Niangniang, you can see Your Royal Highness, you can exert some more strength... It's out, mother, Your Highness's legs are out..."

The first-class palace maid beside the queen was very happy to see His Royal Highness, but she didn't know that the newborn child should normally come out first, this is the birth, and if the child is on the ground first, then the child's safety will be difficult to grasp, that is, a life will be spared, and it will be difficult to raise it in the future. It is that the midwife and the grandmother have a bad heart when they see the feet of the little highness, but it is a difficult birth, and the queen is weak and has been delayed for a while, whether the little highness can live is still unknown, and now the strategy can only be to take one step at a time, and the queen can no longer be stimulated.

"Yes, Niangniang, looking at His Royal Highness like this, he must be a strong and lively person."

"Poof..."Xiyan is still young after all, and her temperament is more direct, "How did you know that Your Highness is lively just now when you saw His Royal Highness's feet?" ”

The queen was not only not angry when she heard it, but showed a little smile, her face was still pale, but the heart-rending pain passed, and her expression relaxed a little, with a small forehead, curved eyebrows, smiling peach blossom eyes, a slim nose, slightly pale cherry lips, and exquisite facial features were also soothed, like a pool of clear water, not amazing, but softened people's souls.

"Ah~Hmm~ Your Majesty... The emperor..."There was an unbearable low cry and crashing sound from next door, and the woman's voice was soft and charming, with the peculiar restraint of being pampered, which made people blush and heartbeat when they listened.

But the queen's lips were even paler.

Tears flowed down his cheeks, wetting the pillow mountain embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water under his head.

There was another dull sharp pain, but the queen didn't even have the strength to shout, her pale and somewhat chapped lips moved gently, with heartache and sorrow: "Protect the child." ”

"Hmm~" A weak cry is like a newborn kitten.

"It's a boy, it's Your Highness..."Everyone in the delivery room wept with joy, and the heavens were also beautiful, and the snow that had been sprinkled for three days finally stopped.

"Your Majesty, the queen mother gave birth to the little prince, the little prince is just a little weak, the queen mother..." Kindness? "The queen mother was already in difficult childbirth, and when she gave birth, she suffered a wind, and hemorrhage, and the doctor said that there would probably be no more children..."
