It's night.

Tai Chi Palace.

In the Imperial Palace.

Mei Niang opened her eyes, and saw Li Zhi guarding her side with a happy face, holding her hand tightly and refusing to relax, and turned her head to talk to Wang De, who was standing on the side, and said something.

When she opened her eyes, there was immediately a sound of joy in the hall, and Li Zhi was the first to turn his head and hold her tightly in his arms, and the voice only called her by her name.

Mei Niang was at a loss for a while, she didn't know what to say, she only opened her eyes wide and looked at Ryan who was standing on one side, her eyes were slightly wet:

"How...... Finish? ”

Ryan was overjoyed and pursed his lips and wanted to speak, but was stopped by De'an on the side, and looked at Li Zhi with a look.

Immediately, he stopped knowingly, and only looked at Li Zhi with a smile.

Mei Niang then knew that these people had deliberately called Li Zhi to tell her everything.

So, she grabbed Li Zhi's clothes tightly and asked softly:

"Jiro......

What's wrong? ”

Li Zhi just happily held her face, which was even more petite due to her illness, and whimpered as if crying and laughing:

"With ......

You've got ......

Mei Niang...... Mei Niang!

You...... You've got a baby!

You've got our baby! ”

In an instant, Mei Niang's whole body stiffened, and she didn't dare to move, and she said blankly for a while:

"You say...... What? ”

Li Zhi looked at her, and just cried:

"You've got a baby...... With our baby......"

Before he finished speaking, he couldn't help himself, hugged Mei Niang tightly, and cried bitterly.

Everyone in the hall was happy, but they could hear Li Zhi's cry of joy, and they also thought of the pain when Mei Niang lost her son that day, and they couldn't help but feel sad, and everyone cried.

Really......

I don't know whether to be sad or happy.

And among this cry, the latest sound, but it is also the most disturbing, but it is Mei Niang's own cry.

……

At the same time.

In the Hall of Ten Thousand Springs.

"Clang" and "Clang" ......

Since hearing that Mei Niang was pregnant and returned, there has been no sound of things breaking in the Wanchun Palace.

Gold inlaid jade screen, glazed vase, white jade ruyi beads......

Those who could be smashed were smashed by Wang Shanrou, and those who couldn't be smashed were also smashed by her.

"...... Mother......

On the one hand, the slave followed the crazy queen all the way, ran from the east of the palace to the west of the palace, and then ran back to the east of the palace from the west of the palace, running all the way, persuading all the way, crying all the way......

But even so, it can't stop the already crazy queen Wang.

“…… Why......

…… Why......

Why?!!!

Isn't she unable to give birth?!

Isn't she unable to give birth?!

Isn't she unable to give birth?!

You say...... Say!!

Isn't she unable to give birth!! ”

Wang Shanrou, whose face was full of tears, cried and shouted bitterly, and she had already lost her usual grace and generosity.

At this moment, she was dressed in a crimson phoenix robe as messy as a promise, with jet-black hair, and because of the struggle and running, the golden crown fell, and she was like a cloud......

The face was full of tears and wept like rain, and a piece of new makeup turned into a mess.

At present, Wang Shanrou is no longer the gorgeous and noble mother of the Tang Dynasty, the queen of the first dynasty......

It's a jealous madwoman.

……

In the end, the slave still hugged her waist tightly, and cried bitterly:

"...... Empress! Didn't you say that?

She can't give birth, she can't give birth!

Even if she is pregnant, she can't give birth!

Mother, you can rest assured...... Peace of mind!

What she can't give birth to, what she can't give birth to!

The kid ...... That kid won't survive!

......! ”

The cry of the slave made Wang Shanrou somewhat regain some senses.

Stupidly, she dropped a jade bottle in her hand, with a bang, she lowered her head, looked at the slave who was holding her waist tightly, and was stunned for a long time before stretching out her hands that were cut by fragments everywhere and bleeding, holding the crying face of the slave, leaning down, staring at her tightly and asking:

She ......

Can't you give birth? ”

The slave raised his head and looked sadly at the master he had seen since he was a child, and his eyes were fierce:

"Can't be born......

Mother's peace of mind......

The slave assures you that she will not be born......

Even if she could give birth...... and shall not live past the full moon......

Mother's peace of mind...... Mother's peace of mind...... Ah......h

While crying, the slave slowly got up, as if holding a child, and hugged Wang Shanrou, who was immediately obsessed and happy after hearing her assurance, in her arms, gently patted her black silk, and said coldly with tears:

"She can't give birth......

Born...... and will not live to live the full moon......

The mercy of the slave will not make this happen......"

Such cold and invasive words made the palace stand by the side, and Hu Tu secretly looked at the situation in the hall, and couldn't help but shudder.

After a moment's thought, he quietly turned around and disappeared into the endless night and snow.

On the other side, in the Thousand Autumn Palace.

The screams of pain rang out in the hall, and I could hear the medicine beside Concubine Xiao Shu, who was sitting upright and sitting upright, and looked coldly at the medicine beside Concubine Xiao Shu, who was punished by the little slave and maid of His Highness, and couldn't help but feel scared in my heart.

On the one hand, the two little prisoners who were executed, because they had been beaten for a long time, their hands were numb, and they gradually lost their strength, and as a result, they immediately provoked a cold reprimand from Concubine Xiao Shu:

"The palace didn't tell you to stop, so you stopped?

How...... Do you pity this?

What about the five hundred slaps of this...... Shall you take it for you? ”

As soon as these words came out, no matter how guilty the two little eunuchs were, no matter how weak they were, they also beat their spirits and fought with all their might.

In a short time, the little slave could not stand such a beating, and fainted with blood on her face.

The little eunuchs were at a loss for a moment, and stopped, and Concubine Xiao Shu spoke again:

"What do you stop?

How? Is it just pretending to be dead and stopping?

You go! Fetch water! Don't forget to add ice! ”

Immediately, the little eunuch who was pointed at had no choice but to go, carrying a bucket full of water, and there were several ice ridges floating on the surface of the water.

Concubine Xiao Shu glanced at it, but she still didn't seem satisfied:

"Just a few pieces of crushed ice slag? Enough of what?

This cheap maid has eaten enough of the bear's heart and leopard's guts, and dares to deceive the palace so far, and has coped with the errands of the palace so far......

Do you think these pieces of crushed ice can teach her to wake up?

Yao'er, you go! ”

When Yao'er, who was standing on the side, heard this, he had to respond first, and then hesitated and whispered:

"Niangniang, tonight is the night of Yuanzheng, and it is also a good day......

This maid is so derelict in her duties, she should be punished...... But you can't let this's dirty blood pollute the mother's treasure hall, and spoil the mother's good year......"

When Concubine Xiao heard this, she immediately changed color and said angrily with tears:

"What a year?! What else is there to give to Hongu?!

That shameless slut has already got a dragon heir......

Hongu ...... What else is there to live in this palace......"

When she had finished speaking, she began to weep.

Seeing this, the little eunuchs breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that they didn't have to do more evil.

Seeing this, Yao'er also knew that she had hit Concubine Xiao Shufei's sore spot, so she moved forward, lowered her face, and whispered in Concubine Xiao's ear:

"Who said that the mother didn't have a good year?

A few days ago, Yao'er made a special trip to invite Lord Tai Shiling to give Niangniang a hexagram!

The hexagram can be said clearly, Niangniang is the most prosperous this year, all the best! ”

Concubine Xiao Shufei was stunned for a moment when she heard these words, but she only looked up at Yao'er, and seemed to have an understanding:

"All the best...... Is it? ”

"Isn't it? Empress...... Don't forget, tonight is the night of Yuanzheng!

If you pray to the Buddha and make a wish, it is the most effective.

Mother, what do you want to do the most...... But what is it? ”

The other side.

Chang'an City.

The eldest grandson of the house.

In the middle of the bed.

The eldest grandson Wuji changed into homely clothes, and stood by the window, looking at the moonlight and snow outside the window.

On one side, the eldest grandson Chong soothed the child and fell asleep, handed it over to the nurse, and then came close and said:

"Father, what should we do now?"

The eldest grandson Wuji seemed to be surprised that his son was approaching, and said in surprise:

"What should I do?"

The eldest grandson frowned, and his capable face showed some worry:

"That Wu Meiniang...... She is now pregnant with the dragon seed of the Lord......

Such incidents ......"

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned, and immediately lowered his face and said in a low voice:

"You'd better inform your so-called secret party friends!

Don't get it wrong, host! ”

The eldest grandson was stunned for a moment, and said:

"Father...... Don't do it? ”

"Hands-on? What hands?

Could it be that you want to kill the blood of the Lord?! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said coldly:

"Chong'er, don't forget, no matter what Wu Meiniang is, what she is carrying in her womb is the child of your own aunt (Li Zhi is the son of Aunt Changsun Chong, that is, Empress Changsun, so she is called her own aunt!!

Could it be that you want to kill my Tang Dynasty Dragon Son and Heavenly Sun, and fall into the crime of killing relatives and rebelling against the monarch to exterminate the nine clans for thousands of years?! ”

The eldest grandson Chong was stunned for a while, and his father had accumulated power for many years, although he was a little disappreciative in his heart, he didn't dare to say more after all.

Seeing him like this, the eldest grandson Wuji knew that his eldest son had become more and more active in recent years, and he had great ambitions to succeed himself as the main assistant and become the second of the Lü clan (that is, Lü Buwei, who controlled the government in the Qin period).

But......

He shook his head, but for some reason, he only felt a trace of sadness in his heart:

He knew Chong'er's ambition, although he didn't like his intentions, but he also knew that this kid would eventually be like him, completely loyal to Datang-

At most, Chong'er will only hope to cover the sky with one hand, continue the monstrous wealth of the eldest grandson's family, and pass it on to his son.

But......

He didn't have that ability.

Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head and sighed:

"Thy mind is understood by the Father...... But Chong'er......

You made two mistakes.

The first one is that he overestimated the ability of Guan Long's family and underestimated the ability of the clan faction.

The second ...... It is also your most fatal weakness, that is, you are carried away by power, but you have completely forgotten what power means to my eldest grandson......"

After the eldest grandson Wuji said this, he only shook his head, looked at the eldest son with a confused face, and said no more, only leaving one sentence:

"No matter what, no matter what the others do......

Before Wu Meiniang safely gave birth to the Lord's blood and bones, she must do her best to protect the safety of her mother and son.

This is an order for my father, who is the patriarch of the eldest grandson family, and it is also the responsibility of my eldest grandson family. ”

At the same time.

It is only a few streets away from the Changsun Mansion and the Ying Yin Gong Li Ji Mansion.

Inside the dormitory.

Li Ji had already replaced a thick cotton robe, and sat on the ground with his wife, guarding the hot warm table.

It was very warm to sit down, in the end, it was because of the dragon fire kang in this place, but it was burned early, just waiting for him to come back.

(Dilong fire kang, a type of fire kang, leaves a space under the dwelling.) And use the bricks and tiles that are impermeable to fire and have good thermal conductivity to build a place where you can add charcoal from the outside of the house and the space under the corridor, and then take out a certain space from the center of a non-load-bearing pillar in the middle of the house for smoke exhaust and room temperature heating...... It's as if a huge fire dragon was locked in a cage under the house, so it was called the Earth Dragon Fire Kang at first, and then it was slowly omitted to be able to do the Earth Dragon Fire Kang.

In this way, in winter, you can burn a fire for heating, which is equivalent to today's floor heating.

Later, this method also spread to Japan. However, with the passage of time, this kind of floor heating construction method has gradually disappeared, but it has left some traces of the ancient buildings that are very famous in many ancient buildings in Japan, especially in the ancient cities of Nara, Osaka, Kyoto, etc.: it is the kind of ancient architectural design that is suspended or similar to the stilted buildings of the Miao and some other ethnic minorities in China today - the reason why these designs are so different from the Miao stilted buildings in the height of the air is that they are to prevent moisture, and secondly, in fact, the most fundamental reason, It was when this Tang style architecture was introduced to Japan that this design still retained the usefulness of the earth dragon fire kang......

These materials were found by the landlord on a website of architectural hobbies on the Internet, and I don't know if it's true or not, but the landlord vaguely remembers that in an article written by the famous Japanese scholar Shuji Funo, called "World Residence", these were mentioned slightly...... It is also possible that he wrote other articles, but the author is that he cannot be wrong. ）

Mrs. Li first brought a cup of tea to him, and then carefully brought a few dishes of refreshments to her husband, and then spoke:

"Husband, today, it seems that he is quite happy and a little worried!

But is it because of the fact that the martial lady is pregnant with a dragon seed? ”

A piece of Kodama core cake (a kind of dim sum made with flour and a variety of pale fruits) that Li Jifang brought to his mouth. Because the flour skin is extremely delicate, almost translucent, and the pale fruit filling inside is like jade, hence the name) stopped, and after a while before putting it into his mouth, patted the dim sum powder that fell on his beard, and patted his hands before saying:

"yes......

It is a great joy for the Lord to have a son.

And this martial lady has a son, for the husband and the ministers who really support the lord, it is a great joy......

After all, once this son is a male fetus, and he has a good temperament...... Then in the future, with His Royal Highness King Chen, the heir of the queen, and His Royal Highness King Yong, the son of Concubine Shu, will stand together, and it will be the third.

In comparison, the favor of the martial lady is no longer a sentence that can be described as a favor crown of the six palaces, and her person is so useful...... The mother is like this, and her son is even more wise.

This is a great joy......

But it's precisely because it's a martial artist who is pregnant...... This happy event is also a little worrying. ”

Mrs. Li nodded, and said lightly:

"The husband is right......

If Wu Niangzi is just an ordinary woman, then the arrival of this child is also joyful.

But she is not only a person in the palace, but also the most favored woman of His Majesty today......

Alas......

It's also that she's pitiful.

But husband, since the husband is bent on serving His Majesty, this martial lady has been kind to our family...... And over the years, when the husband was away, the lady was also like Your Majesty, and she took great pity on us......

The husband is not good at protecting each other openly, and secretly, it is always the way to be loyal to the monarch and to protect the safety of her mother and son! ”

Li Ji nodded, and was silent for a long time before sighing:

"Madame is right......

It's just that although the husband is deeply favored by the Lord, he is just an official of the former dynasty......

This kind of thing, you still have to work this martial lady herself, and it is the right way for the Lord to protect each other......

Alas, the husband really doesn't understand, why does the lord not use the sharp weapon given by the first emperor, but he wants to watch the martial lady in such a situation?

Still is...... What else does the Lord have to worry about? ”

Li Ji thought about it bitterly.
