Chapter Twenty-Nine: Fright
It's always a joy to be pregnant and have a birthday, but not many people know about it.
As soon as the will in the palace came down, canonizing Li Cong as the son and inheriting the title of Wu Anhou, Xuan Chen and Ye Chu took Li Cong into the palace to thank him. Xuan Chen smiled and touched Li Cong's head looking at her.
Yan Qing gave a gift as usual, and a long brocade box contained a flute. Xuan Chen rubbed the flute thoughtfully, and asked Lian Bi to put it away along with the things sent in previous years. Xuan Chen suddenly remembered something, and touched the magnolia hairpin on his head.
The weather gradually warmed up in March, and a sudden change in the cold weather made Xuanchen very uncomfortable.
"Didn't you say that it was hard to get pregnant, and that she would be pregnant again so soon? I waited until more than three months to say it. ”
"Yes, the slave can't figure it out. ”
"That Zhuqing National Master is really a holy hand!" Wei Yun's tone was very sarcastic.
Bursts of vomiting sound came from Xuan Chen's room.
Lian Bi wiped the corners of her mouth for Xuan Chen distressedly, Xuan Chen was very well pregnant with a child, this time she was pregnant, it was difficult to sleep and eat, she smelled a little bit of heavy food, and she vomited all the things she had finally eaten.
Ye Chu came back and looked at Xuan Chen's weak appearance, his face turned pale.
"Why bother?" Ye Chu touched Xuan Chen's thin face soothingly.
"I do. ”
"Just now, the king of the lower dynasty left me to say something, and the letter from Liangguo said that he had sent an envoy. ”
"Isn't that normal?"
"This time is different from before, there is also Ling Xiaoyun, the eldest son of the second son of the old Liang Wang. ”
"So?"
"When you pour it, your belly will be big, it is estimated that it will be in June and July, the weather is hot, I am afraid that you will be uncomfortable. Ye Chu held Xuan Chen's cool hand.
"It's fine, it's just a feast. ”
By the time Xuan Chen was estimated to be more than six months pregnant, her body began to swell. But Xuan Chen was already thin and swollen, and he couldn't see anything. It's just that every time Lian Bi serves Xuan Chen, there will be a mark on his feet.
"Madam, just find an excuse not to go. Lian Bi dressed Xuan Chen.
"Brother Wang didn't say not to go, but just asked Master Hou to come back and say that if I didn't go, he wanted me to attend. ”
Lian Bi sighed, "Madame, drink the medicine." ”
Ye Chu was very careful to help Xuan Chen get into the carriage, Xuan Chen's movement was a little inconvenient, his stomach was not big, but it was very difficult to get off the carriage with his bowing body, and Li Cong was also very uncomfortable to look at. As soon as I arrived at the gate of the palace, I passed the sedan chair.
"Houfu is also a little far from the palace. Lian Bi couldn't stop complaining.
Ye Chu and Li Cong's two protectors on the left and right helped Xuan Chen walk, and Lian Bi followed closely behind him, for fear that something would go wrong.
"Brother Wang. Xuan Chen still bowed slightly.
"I didn't do it before, but I was so pregnant and still saluted. Xun Hui is still warm.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Ye Chu and Li Cong performed the proper etiquette.
"Su Hong, give a seat. ”
"Princess, slow down. ”
"Thank you, Eunuch Su. ”
"Why does Lone look at Sister Chen's poor complexion?"
"It is already hard for a woman to conceive a child, and the concubines have suffered a lot, not to mention that Xuan Chen's body is already weak. ”
"It's a lonely one. ”
Su Hong came up with tea, Xuan Chen endured his nausea, took a sip, and put it aside.
"Lone didn't want Sister Chen to attend, but Liangguo said that he wanted to visit Sister Chen with his own eyes, and Lone was really helpless. Beigong Mingye drank tea and said with low eyes.
"Brother Wang worked hard, and Xuan Chen understood. ”
"It's still early, Sister Chen, let's play chess with Brother Wang. ”
"Yes. ”
Xun Hui left the hall and went to prepare for the dinner. Beigong Mingye issued an eviction order and asked Ye Chu to take Li Cong to the lotus pond for a walk. Su Hong stayed on the side to serve.
"Sister Chen's chess is still as good as ever, and she lost alone. Beigong Mingye put down the chess pieces in his hand.
"Your Majesty, the national teacher is here. ”
"Hurry up and invite the national teacher in. ”
"Your Majesty, Princess. ”
"The national teacher doesn't have to be polite. ”
Xuan Chen sat in his seat and nodded with a slight smile.
"The national teacher came just in time, Sister Chen has been pregnant for nearly seven months, I don't know if the national teacher can know men and women?"
"Yes. ”
Through the handkerchief, Yan Qing's hand gently rested on Xuan Chen's veins.
"Back to the king, the princess, it's a woman. ”
Beigong Mingye congratulated with a smile on the surface, but Xuan Chen was really happy.
"How about the lonely name Yiqing?"
"Radiant and sunny. Very nice name, thank you for the daughter in Xuan Chen's belly. ”
"Your Majesty, the hour has come. Su Hong reminded.
The dinner party danced and played continuously, showing the prosperous scene of the Northern Gu Dynasty.
Yanqing looked at Ling Xiaoyun, the eldest grandson of the old Liang King from the Liang Kingdom, and wondered very much why Qi Lang came, and looked at Qi Lang who didn't know his identity at all.
At this time, the most distressed thing was Si Ming, who was quietly watching outside the hall, and he really burned high incense.
Some time ago, in the Si Ming Palace, Qi Lang begged Si Ming to promise a period of earthly fate, and Si Ming couldn't say anything about it.
"Ouch, Third Highness, you really, really tormented the little fairy. You say, Your Highness, you are at the threshold of ascending to God, if so, if so... Xiaoxian, my immortal journey is really ruined, please ask His Highness to give me Xiaoxian a good path. ”
"Xingjun rest assured, after the dust wakes up, he will definitely go to Zheng Lin to ask for a cup of forgotten dust brew. Qi Lang said earnestly.
Qi Lang grinded Si Ming for a long time, and Si Ming agreed, and secretly made up his mind that he had to pour the dust to the Third Highness.
"I wonder how the old Liang King is now?"
Beigong Mingye asked from the bottom of his heart, this old Liang King's super long standby made the kings of all countries really envious.
"Back to the Northern Lone King, King Liang is in good health, but there are occasional minor illnesses. ”
"But Wang Zu always misses his aunt, and always thinks that it is good to be able to see his aunt's daughter, and it is also good to be Princess Xuanchen. Ling Xiaoyun poured wine and said intentionally or unintentionally.
"Sister Xuanchen is weak, and now she is pregnant, I am afraid that it is difficult to travel a long distance, otherwise it is not impossible to go back to Liangguo to see her grandfather. Xun Hui relieved the siege.
"Although the old Liang King's body is still healthy now, after all, he is old, I don't know when he will be able to get his wish?"
"Tonight's Maiko dance is moving, the little prince and the envoys can take a good look. Beigong Mingye didn't take over the conversation, and he couldn't just respond to anything until he didn't know Liangguo's motives.
When the carriage reached the halfway point, Xuan Chen really couldn't stand it, he had a headache, and wanted to get down and walk, stretch and stretch.
"Mother, is what the envoy said today true?"
"What?"
"That's about your return to Liangguo. ”
"There is no definite number of things now, and it should not be taken seriously. Xuan Chen put his arm on Li Cong's shoulder.
Ye Chu silently accompanied Xuan Chen on the street, although it was summer, the wind at night was pleasant. After walking for a while, Ye Chu persuaded Xuan Chen to go back to the car.
"Your sachet is a little torn?" Back in the house, the two were served to change their clothes.
Ye Chu looked down and saw that it was a little shabby.
"You sewed it on my birthday last year. ”
"Don't wear it, sew you a new one. As he spoke, he borrowed his body and took it down for Ye Chu.
"Don't bother. ”
"Little things, don't waste anything. ”
The two sat on the bed, and Ye Chu pressed Xuan Chen's shoulders.
"How's it going? ”
"It's very lacking, but it's okay. ”
"I don't know how long the prince and envoys of Liang Kingdom will stay. ”
"What? didn't say when you would be going back?"
"I don't think about it, I'm afraid it's been a long time since they saw what they had prepared at the station. Don't think about it, the important thing now is to take care of your body. ”
"Speaking of this, I forgot to tell you, today's national teacher is a daughter nine times out of ten. Brother Wang gave him the name Yiqing, I think it's very good, the spirit is vibrant, and the weather is just right. ”
"My daughter is good, and my name is good. In the future, there is no need to go to the battlefield to win fame with a knife and a shot, and there is no need to be treacherous in the court. Find a peaceful family and stay together for a lifetime. Ye Chu hugged Xuan Chen tightly, this child will stay.
Ye Chu left in the morning, and Xuan Chen didn't sleep for a long time, the morning dawned early, and he woke up even earlier.
Xuan Chen likes to stand under the shelf in the cool early morning to water honeysuckle, and even Bi handed a scoop to water herself, and she was also alive and well.
"This year's honeysuckle is not as good as in previous years. ”
"The weather has changed a lot in the past two years, which is also reasonable. ”
"Oh, by the way, Hou Ye's incense sachet is a little broken, you go find a few pieces of good material. It's been a few days since this happened, and my memory is getting worse and worse. ”
Lian Bi helped Xuan Chen back to the house and went to the warehouse to find materials.
Xuan Chen rummaged through the old sachets he had taken off before, and he didn't know where he left them. After looking for a while, I found that the vase was covered by the corner of the couch.
Lian Bi took the material.
"The slave maid just went to look for it, thinking about what kind of material Madame used last year, and what kind of material she still uses this year. This dark blue color is really beautiful, and it is most suitable for embroidering golden flowing moires. ”
"That old incense sachet has fallen there, I can't do it, you can pick it up. ”
Lian Bi picked it up and patted the ash, "Madame's embroidered pattern is really beautiful." ”
"How many pounds and taels do I deserve to be praised like this?"
Xuan Chen took the bag of incense medicine in Lian Bi's hand.
"The slave and maid cut the material first. Lian Bi didn't persuade Xuan Chen, let herself do something like that, knowing Xuan Chen's temperament, he had to do it himself.
"Recently, my waist has been getting more and more sore. Xuan Chen said as he untied the sachet bag, and a few wrinkled and yellowed white magnolia petals mixed with some sparse medicinal herbs fell out.
Xuan Chen's hand froze in half, and he immediately climbed away to find out the pills and separate them from the other materials.
"Lianbi?"
"Huh?"
"Where do you put all my medicine on weekdays?"
"It's all locked in a cabinet in the slave's room, and it's troublesome but always reassuring. ”
Xuan Chen's eyes were full of doubt, unease, and fear. The fierce one got up and felt that his eyes were dark, and he was dizzy.
"Madam!" Lian Bi held the scissors in her hand and helped Xuan Chen's falling body.
Yanqing came in a hurry, gave a few injections and didn't ask about the cause and effect, only told Lian Bi that Xuanchen was at risk of premature birth, and he should be prepared at any time, he would work hard to protect the fetus for more than eight months, and kept telling Lian Bi not to tell anyone to let Xuanchen raise the fetus with peace of mind, and left in a hurry without asking about the causes and consequences, Xu was afraid of meeting Ye Chu. Before leaving, Yanqing looked at the things scattered from the sachet bag on the ground, and quietly tried a method before they all disappeared.
