Chapter 20 Grace grows day by love
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, the sky is beautiful, and the moon is bright and the stars are scarce. The holy drive is south of Huai'an, and the city is full of fun. That night, the saint led the ministers to worship the moon in the east star and moon of Nan'an Garden, and the queen mother led the concubine and ordered to worship the moon god in front of the dancing moon building. Then the two banquets were held at the same time, the saint gave a banquet to the ministers and relatives in the main garden of Nan'an Garden, and the queen mother gave a banquet and enjoyed the play in the Xiangyi Pavilion. The queen mother's interest is very high, in the Mid-Autumn Festival, if the north has turned cold, but the south is still in the middle of summer, but there is no damp and stuffy atmosphere when the summer moon is gone, the cool breeze is blowing, the bright moon is in the sky, the osmanthus is fragrant, and there is a different kind of scene.
Southern opera is different from the northern school, and it has its own insignificant and elegant scene. The Queen Mother watched it with relish in front of the main building, and her scarlet heart was on the side, but she was a little absent-minded. In the past few days, her mind has been full of this matter at home, and she received her father's report yesterday, and she was even more upset. It is conceivable that the aunt's face and mood are before the Mid-Autumn Festival, which makes her even more annoying. But in front of these noble women, there is no way to show it. She watched the Queen Mother listen to the drama and was addicted, and Princess Guangcheng was talking and laughing with her on the side, the sisters were very happy, so they saw the opportunity and took the opportunity to say that they were unwell. It doesn't matter if the Queen Mother has her or not at this time, she listened to it for a while, then waved her hand and said: "Since you are tired, go and rest." β
After thanking him heartily, everyone got up and drove away. Scarlet heart then took the chariot to the emperor and his own residence in Haojing Pavilion, at this time the garden is full of beautiful scenery, melons and fruits Qifen, scarlet heart also has no thoughts.
As soon as she arrived in the front yard of Haojing Pavilion, she saw Wang Chenghai standing outside, which made her slightly stunned, and she didn't expect that the emperor would also take off the banquet and run back at this time? She hurriedly asked people to stop driving, and Wang Chenghai whispered close to her: "Niangniang, the emperor is inside." Go ahead! He helped him for a while, and personally took a few steps to put the scarlet heart down. Scarlet glanced at this posture, and eighty percent had to stop the embroidery spirits outside.
She held back the report since yesterday, but in the evening, the emperor asked King Guangcheng to invite him to drink, and the uncle and nephew didn't come back for a night, so she scratched her heart all night. It's nothing else, now that this is her family matter, she must be a little more thoughtful. Therefore, when he heard this, he did not care about anything else, but hurried in.
There is also a building behind this Haojing Pavilion, and the scenery is also excellent in the garden. Originally, Scarlet Heart lived in the Sonic Pavilion on the side, but because of her illness, the Sonic Pavilion was directly vacant. As soon as she entered the main hall, she saw Yun Xi wearing a regular dress with blue lines on a white background, and even changed her clothes, obviously coming back for a while. As soon as he saw her, he stretched out his hand and pulled over: "You can't get out?" Hurry up, and set up a table behind you, when the moon has just gone up. β
Seeing his look full of interest, he was really embarrassed to ruin his interest, so he let him pull him away for a while. She was dressed in a golden embroidered red dress, with a particularly long skirt and fat sleeves, and it was very inconvenient to add a hairpin ornament at one end. Now that he was striding together, and stumbling a little, he turned to look at her, and picked her up with his hand. Her face turned red and whispered, "The concubine will change her clothes and accompany her?" β
"With your time to change clothes, the moon has gone down." He said, striding meteors, there is a seven-fold small bridge with a lake behind him, the willow bank is full of lotus flowers, and the nine-turn lotus lanterns on the bridge are shining, and the two sides are draped in red and hung with colors are particularly bright. A small building in the center of the lake, full of bright buildings, fragrant osmanthus flowers all around, the moon is in the sky, like a silver plate. It can be described as a beautiful scenery, and the bright moon is silvery.
In fact, Scarlet had already forgotten about the Mid-Autumn Festival and the bright moon with him, and she came back today completely because she was depressed, but at this time, when she saw this person, she felt a little guilty for a while, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Actually, this place is really better than the Shuanghui Building, or the emperor has a vision." β
He walked all the way to the middle of the bridge, leaned on the railing, and looked up at the bright moon: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is the day of reunion, so if you have love for each other, you should never let people be alone!" β
She heard what he said, and simply spoke: "Your Majesty ......"
"That's me." He smiled slightly, and said directly, looking at her sideways, "I did it." Although the two of them can't be reunited today, they are lovesick to the moon, and no one has been obstructing them ever since. A gentleman has the beauty of an adult, not to mention, it is your sister who is scarlet in heart, so why should I be a moon old? β
"The emperor ...... about this," Scarlet didn't know how to speak, and after thinking for a while, he said, "How did the emperor make the concubine's father nod like this?" β
"Why is it difficult to get your father to nod your head in one sentence? It's just like this, Aifei is not difficult to do in the middle. If you follow your brother's love and lose your sister-in-law's will, how can you be considered an adult's beauty? He laughed like a villain again, and he spoke again about his concubine, and she heard her mind tingle. I don't know what's going on, when he calls him "Ai Concubine", why is he so scolding!
"Since the emperor didn't send someone to pass the word, why did they agree to this marriage like this?" Scarlet is a little confused, if no one persecutes her, with the temperament of the eldest lady, where can you agree to be so happy?
"You're also here, why don't you understand this?" He looked at her dizzy, "Your sister has let your aunt be locked up for more than a year and can't see anyone, Lang has a concubine who has intentions, dry firewood against the fire, the two met, and then add fire to that kid, what do you say?" β
Scarlet heart turned green, she really couldn't imagine that the emperor could use this method, it can be said to be shameless, indecent, despicable and insidious! No wonder my father agreed so quickly, the raw rice became cooked rice, and the daughter of the family couldn't keep it for a while. Dad has such a good face, he can't be angry when he knows! She heard her teeth clucking, if he wasn't the emperor, she really wanted to push him off the bridge into the lake!
"You're trying to beat me?" He was very sensitive, and when he saw that her eyes were a little wrong, he was even more happy, "This method is fast and good, and the two of you can't thank you!" Your sister said that she misunderstood you at the time, and she shouldn't have scolded you! β
Scarlet listened to it, and suddenly her eyes turned a little red. She didn't know what it was like in her heart, so she didn't shed tears: "Your Majesty, this matter should also be ...... with the concubines."
Yun Xi restrained her expression and stretched out her hand to hug her: "If I ask you about this matter in person, will you say it?" Or are you going to follow your family's wishes and really get her into the palace? β
Scarlet shook her head, choking slightly in her throat. He continued: "Do you think that she has lost her reputation because of this, and she will not be able to hold her head up in her mother's house in the future? In this matter, she can see through it better than you: the name is worthless compared to Zhang Wangqiu. If you really casually pull her into a match, you will ruin her! β
Scarlet was stunned, and blurted out for a while: "The concubine is for her good!" β
"What do you mean for her good? You're not her, how do you know she's not good like this? Yun Xi raised her eyebrows, "The man was originally chosen for her by your family, and now that she has feelings, the two are willing to be together, and now she is ready to deny it, is this called good for her?" Now they are willing to go together, and even if it is bad in the future, she will choose it herself. She's your sister, so naturally I won't send her away, I asked her again and again, but she was willing! At that time, the man will not grow up, and he will only blame himself for being young and impulsive, and he can't complain about others! But if you really married her to another family, let's not say that you regretted the marriage before it did not comply with the law. Just say that you mess around with mandarin ducks, you don't want to think about her temperament, make a mess and break the net, and then you will be ugly! β
She was speechless for a while, he reached out and pinched her face: "Your aunt is covered with oil, she only talks about the scenery in front of you, and I don't want to think about her raising that baby egg." It's not that I look down on her, I really entered the palace, don't talk about herself, it's light to drag you into the mud pit with her! β
Scarlet didn't dare to argue, although she agreed with some of what he said, but she just felt that it was not good to do so. She understands his methods, and he must be completely disconnected from the royal family, and the elders of the family must think that the Zhang family has used some means, so they will not suspect that the emperor is with her. But in this way, my sister is happy, and my father doesn't know what to be ashamed of. The eldest lady must also be dumb and eat coptis, she must be so angry that one Buddha was born and the second Buddha ascended to heaven.
Under the big festival, he can't delay it for two days before he starts! Isn't this going to be the fulfillment of two, and the whole house is full of frowns? The most ridiculous thing is to pretend to be happy, saying that the Lezheng family wants to do a happy event to marry a daughter! This divorce has been stirring since the year before last, and has been tossing for two or three years, and now he is suddenly going to marry his daughter. The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, and she had been sullen and lazy for the past few days, and now she was even more annoyed and wanted to scold!
She doesn't know what's going on, she seems to be very angry these days, and she is easy to get angry in a hurry. Originally, she was three points cowardly and four points stupid to the emperor, but now it is difficult to suppress it!
"You've been dry these two days, right?" He looked at her expression, and his eyes bent again. He was in a very good mood today, so good that it was simply not good, as if the more she put on the bitter gourd, the more deliberately happy he became. Suddenly, he hugged her and said seriously, "Hey, do you have it?" β
Seeing him smiling happily, Scarlet Heart was blocked in his heart, and it was a little silly to hear him ask like this for a while: "Got it?" β
"Right? You don't seem to have come this month. He said, touching her belly very gently, "Got it?" β
Her face burned suddenly: "No, no, no, no, no......" The imperial doctor didn't say that he had a pulse when he saw it, and besides, the problem of her inaccurate letter was not a day or two. Although there has been some improvement in the past few months, it is normal for this deficiency cold body to recur from time to time. Imperial Doctor Feng also said that this disease has to be treated slowly, and one year or two years is not a long time, even three years and five years. So, she basically despaired of herself.
"What are you stammering?" He looked serious, "I think you have it." Don't you think you've been grumpy lately? β
Confused, she added, "I've heard that this pregnant woman has a different temperament than usual. If it's good on weekdays, when you're pregnant, you become irritable. Have you been irritable lately? Can't hold back your temperament? β
She listened to it for a while, yes, she has been very annoyed and annoyed recently, but that's because of the trouble at home! But it's not right, she used to have more troubles, but I haven't seen this before!
Yun Xi saw that she was becoming more and more serious, and suddenly laughed: "I'm talking nonsense, you also believe it!" β
Scarlet is extremely angry, he pretends to be so pretentious that he doesn't even see her! He is a son of heaven, and now he is happy to say that he is "nonsense", which makes people listen to it and become unified. For a while, she was angry and ashamed, and with the stuffy stomach just now, she arched out for a while, and suddenly pushed him: "The emperor is too ...... Yes! Before she finished speaking, he was already holding her and rolling backwards!
Yun Xi sat on the railing of the bridge, not at all for a while, and held her in his arms. Her sudden push made him lose his balance, and instinctively he pressed his knees, and the person hung on the railing flickering. Scarlet Heart had already slipped half in his arms, and his face was facing the water, so he didn't let go, otherwise he would have thrown her into the water! She only felt that her head was down, and a few hairpins on her head did not settle down, and they fell into the water crackling, and his long braids hung down and almost touched the water, and a few strands of her long hair fell out, swaying with his.
He was also shocked at first, and almost didn't get her off, so that he strangled her. At this moment she rushed down, his face had reached her neck, and he was momentarily fixed and suddenly kissed her neck. The top of her head was congested, the big skirt was turned upside down in two layers, and her waist was about to break by him, and she felt an itch and numbness in her neck, and she couldn't help screaming: "Quick, come and help, help!" β
Yun Xi directly put a mark on her neck before she loosened her lips and hummed softly: "Save it, no one." He said and raised his face to look at her, "You poisoned you on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, okay, I'll throw you down!" As he spoke, he was relieved. Scarlet immediately felt that her body was falling, her hand was almost unable to grasp his shoulder, and she shouted urgently: "Don't, the concubine is guilty." She saw that her hair was soaked in water, and her voice was so frightened that her voice went out, "The concubine is wrong, the concubine is now autumn dry!" β
He deliberately strained his waist and swayed it, and her long drape shook like a cloud of smoke. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he said with a smile: "I think of an allusion, you guess we will go up, otherwise hang it." β
Scarlet face is purple, it's really uncomfortable to put her head down, plus she has long sleeves, and she can't use her hands to make it hard, she always feels that her body is about to rush down, how can she still think about things in her head. The lake rippled because of the hair twisting, and the moon reflected on the lake was also wrinkled and rounded, she stared at the water, if this allusion was really said, it would be scolded by the emperor at all! But she was in a hurry at this time, and she didn't think about anything anymore, and screamed: "The monkey fishes for the moon!" β
He smiled, twisted her hand to make her fight horizontally, covered her head and face with one hand, and then arched his waist, and lifted half of his body with her. He jumped off the bridge railing, dizzy for a while, and only came to his senses after a while, he was very scared for a while, and muttered: "Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty." Concubines shouldn't push, push ......"
"Let's go. After fishing for the moon, it's time to drink a few cups. He lowered his eyes to look at her, "You stayed with me for a long time, and I don't remember any troubles." β
She nodded: "One drunk Fang Xiu, one drunk Fang Xiu......" obviously did not slow down!
In the Mid-Autumn Festival of the sixteenth year of Xuanping, Scarlet Heart and Yunxi turned into two monkeys to catch the bright moon reflected in the lake. But this matter is a secret that is not passed on between them!
On August 17, the emperor drove to Quxia, presided over the opening ceremony to comfort the emperor, worship the god of the river and reward the river workers. And Scarlet Heart stayed in Nan'an Garden to serve the Queen Mother. Maybe it was because the two of them got along for too long a while, and when he suddenly left, he felt like he was lost.
Speaking of which, since she arrived in Jiangdu at the end of June, the time spent together in the past two months is really more than the four and a half years she has been in the palace combined. In the past, in the palace, it was said that he was lucky every month, but in fact, since the second year, his attitude towards her has become more and more weird, and he has seen seven or eight sides in an average year. Because he was uncertain, he couldn't figure out when he made him anxious, and in the third year, he was angry and ignored her for months. Unlike now, most of the past two months have been day and night. In just these two months, I have also developed a habit. Get used to it!
Although the scarlet heart is still the same every day, I ask the Queen Mother for peace, and ask for warmth to maintain filial piety. Because he was in Huai'an, he was close to his father, and he often gave some things to make the family happy. She felt that in the matter of Scarlet Ling, she really made her father lose face, and she couldn't help it. She ordered the master of Xinghua Pavilion to choose a good day, and said that August 26 was an auspicious day.
So the scarlet heir told his father that he would send his daughter to Fengshun on August 26 to complete the marriage, and in addition to ordering Ju'an Mansion to prepare a reward, he also privately rewarded his sister with some gold jewelry to enrich the dowry.
She knew that her father would definitely do enough in decency, and he felt ashamed in his heart, feeling that this daughter would not be sloppy on the surface if she did not fight and ruin the family style. But because my sister is married to a down-and-out businessman this time, if you want to make a comeback in the future, you don't care about connections and the like, and you can't do it if you don't have capital. So she asked Xiu Ling to choose a few extra pieces of some jewelry she brought, and added some money from her uncle before. In fact, she herself is not rich in the palace, but she also tries to produce as much as possible.
Then he asked Chang Fu to send a letter to Fei Ling, telling her that after the marriage, she would try to follow Zhang Wangqiu to develop elsewhere. She knows her family too well, and she also knows her aunt's personality too well, and when she leaves, even if they become relatives, it will be difficult for Zhang Wangqiu to gain a foothold in Huainan. Not to mention that the rich people in the Huainan area now have to look at the face of the Le Zheng family to do things, but it is not easy to provoke with the maiden family of Aunt Fengshun. Now that they have suffered this dumb loss, where are they willing to give up? simply go away and seek other plans. Although Scarlet Heart itself is not very optimistic about this family affair, but now that it is like this, it is also the flesh and blood of the family, and Scarlet Heart really doesn't want to make a bad look.
Scarlet Ling also asked Chang Fu to write back to her, and it was as Yunxi said. Scarlet Ling thought that Scarlet was secretly arranging it, so she was very grateful to her, and she was extremely guilty of the previous nonsense. Between the lines, the affection is sincere, and there is also quite a style of everyone's ladies, and there is no crazy faction. It can be seen that in the past few years, she has not been rude, but has been detained by her family, and it is difficult to resist the pain of lovesickness, so that her temperament has become more and more perverse. Acacia is maddening, and there really is the original way in this world!
This trip to the south has benefited a lot from Scarlet's heart. In fact, she also understands that this change of mind is not necessarily a good thing after returning to the palace. But imperceptibly, how can she change her mind with the situation, her reason is still there, and her scheming is undiminished, but if she returns to the original realm where her heart is like water, it is already even more difficult. But Scarlet Heart is Scarlet Heart, and she always understands what kind of situation she is in. Or maybe this is also her calamity, when she hides this love in her heart, she knows.
She knew that when she was alone in the palace, she could no longer be comfortable. Although it is not crazy to talk about lovesickness, at least it will be like now, she is worried and a little uneasy, or one day she will learn to be jealous, and when she sees him smile gently at other women, she will no longer be just envious, but also jealous.
Although it is not intolerant of other women in her mind now, it is good to have someone to share it for her. Whenever his demands were too strong, she would always want to get a woman to share the burden, although now she only dared to assume it in her heart. Scarlet Heart doesn't understand whether she really understands the so-called love like this, but she thinks that she is different from before. She could see him see more clearly, and she could understand why he was sometimes angry. Or wait until she really learns to be jealous? She may not be able to control and cope with these relatively unfamiliar emotions, but she at least understands that she must accept them whether she wants them or not.
On August 26, the Le Zheng family sent the girl out of the pavilion, and the wedding procession stretched for half a street, and the ferry led ten times, blowing and playing extremely beautifully. If you can't go in person, you can send Chang Fu to congratulate you. The local government and the wealthy people in the city all went to Daohe in person. Some of the relatives and nobles gathered in Huai'an, regardless of whether they had a friendship with the Lezheng family or not, they also gave congratulatory gifts in the face of the concubine. For a while, it was a big fight.
Scarlet Heart has become more and more lazy these days, and her daily diet has been reduced, and as a result, on August 28, Imperial Doctor Feng actually found out that she showed her joy. This shock was completely blinded, and she still remembered that on August 15, the emperor joked that she had it before leaving. Who knew that in less than half a month, she really had it! Xiu Ling and Chang Fu trembled when they heard this, and the straight God opened his eyes, he didn't expect that the concubine would come out this time, and she didn't suffer this crime in vain, and she was really pregnant with a dragon seed!
Even the Queen Mother was a little surprised, the concubine had no news for more than four years, and she didn't know if she had returned to her homeland, the water and soil here were suitable for her, and she even had a letter! Although in her heart, she was very unhappy to watch Scarlet Heart climb higher and higher. But although there are many concubines in the emperor, their stomachs don't seem to be very angry. After all, it is the emperor's blood and bones, and naturally she is also a little happy in her heart, and after hearing about it, she was busy coming to see it in person, and asked the imperial doctor how it was.
The scarlet heart was a little unbearable for a while, but it was expressionless for a long time, and I couldn't see the joy and sorrow. Even the embroidered spirit is a little overjoyed! In fact, Xiu Ling was right, she was so happy that she didn't know how to express it. In the past four years, she has been looking forward to having a child, sharing her weal and woe, it is all her hopes and all her sustenance, as long as she has a child, she has the strength to fight to the end!
If it is said that what supported her in the past was to bring glory to Lezheng, then what will support her in the future will be the flesh and blood in her abdomen. She is happy and scarfy, she will fight bloodily for fame and will not give up easily, but she is also a person, and she also needs comfort. The love between men and women can indeed bring her comfort, but emotions can be changeable and unstable, and the support from one's own blood is different. When she is no longer beautiful and pampered, when her feelings turn into smoke, she still has to clear the lights and spend the rest of her life in the palace. At that time, at least she had one living hope, and that was her child!
Because the emperor's sacrificial patrol is a major event, the queen mother is not allowed to fly to the emperor in a hurry. Yun Xi only found out when he came back before the Double Ninth Festival, and Yun Xi's reaction after hearing it could be said to be exactly the same as Scarlet Heart, Xianmu stayed for a while, and then the whole person's expression began to stiffen. Later, Wang Chenghai asked Chang Fu, and Concubine Dao was like this at that time, and couldn't help sighing. Sometimes you don't believe that these two people are a natural pair, and the reaction is simply surprisingly consistent!
Yun Xi went to the Queen Mother to say goodbye as usual, and then told her about the terroir in the Quxia area. Then the Queen Mother talked about the first emperor again, and Yun Xi also accompanied her, and then went to see the ministers. drove from the emperor to Quxia, in fact, he had already begun to prepare for returning to the palace. During this time, the imperial court was also peaceful, nothing special happened, and all departments and departments also kept their duties, which shows that Yunxi's arrangements at the beginning have been effective. Now that the trip is over, it's time to drive back to Beijing and return to the DPRK!
Yun Xi only returned to Haojing Pavilion at night, and when he entered, he felt that his hands were a little shaky. He thought it was a little incredible when he thought about it, what is a child? It is also a tool for him, a tool that can be stifled without hesitation when necessary. But this is different, this is what he has always sincerely hoped for, longed for. With this child, she was able to consolidate her position even more and even go further. Only by consolidating her position can she be happy, and only if her status does not fall, can she stay with him.
As soon as he entered, his eyes suddenly froze, and Scarlet Heart had already led Xiuling Changfu and others to kneel on the ground to greet him. He stared at her drooping expression and said lightly, "Get up, it's inconvenient." In the future, all kneeling will be exempted! β
"Thank you for your grace." After hearing this, Scarlet Heart was helped up by Xiuling and accompanied the emperor inside. Yun Xi changed her clothes and drank tea, and in the process, she kept looking at the scarlet expression, and saw that her demeanor was calm, no different from the past.
Now it is also because she is pregnant, and she no longer needs to serve in person, this is the treatment of all pregnant concubines with higher status in the palace, and the scarlet heart is not a special one. It wasn't until they entered the inner hall together, leaving only Wang Chenghai and Xiuling to wait outside the curtain from afar, that Yun Xi straightened her shoulders and looked at her face half-bent.
The scarlet heart made him uncomfortable, and when he raised his eyes for a while, he saw that he was smiling at her, which can be said to be a seductive laugh and extremely sultry. She couldn't help but laugh too, and said softly, "It's really there." It was as if she didn't believe it. In fact, he could understand that what he was talking about was what he teased about her on August 15, and he nodded: "I really got it right!" β
"Why kneel outside? I can't help but cooperate with you. Yun Xi's eyes were bright, and she looked starry at this time, and her voice became a little urn-like, as if she was holding a piece of candy.
"It was originally a courtesy, but the emperor didn't give an order, so the concubines naturally had to kneel to greet them." Scarlet also smiled, but just now he opened the golden mouth, and it will be different if he kneels in the future. She understands the Queen Mother's thoughts, and she has not served in vain for four years. The queen mother can no longer control the harem, and she is also the queen mother, and making a face for her is also respect for her. At least the performance is not so flamboyant, the Queen Mother is comfortable, and everyone is comfortable. Then her children can be safer.
He smiled, naturally understood what she meant, reached out to grab her, and touched her belly, which was flat, but he was a little impatient, and he couldn't wait to make this belly puff up like a blow immediately: "What did Feng Yichang say?" β
"It's not very good." Scarlet Xin also laughed when she said this, and Yun Xi looked at her and felt a little pain in her heart.
Imperial Physician Feng has been in the palace for decades, and his medical skills are first-class, and being a human being is naturally more advanced than his medical skills! didn't say anything in front of the Queen Mother, just said goodbye.
But it's different for the scarlet heart, and it's better to pad a lot of words first. He told the emperor that he took care of Scarlet Heart's body, and he understood very well that the concubine was different in the eyes of the emperor. Then this child is also extraordinarily expensive, if he gets up late, then his own life can be regarded as the end! The imperial doctor talks about the scenery, but in fact, when is it not the tip of the knife to live? The more you know, the harder it gets. He is already in his last years, but he doesn't want to be stabbed again when he is old.
He had already told Scarlet the truth early in the morning that this child was unstable. Because of the scarlet heart and cold forcing the palace, the qi and blood are not smooth, and the place of offering is not good, this seedling is naturally unstable. Of course, he spoke tactfully, and although the tire was unstable, he would do his best. Scarlet Heart understands, but no matter what, at least it proves that her body has improved. Being able to get a fetus is proof. It also shows that Imperial Physician Feng does have a good hand, since this is the case, this person can use it.
"Whether it's good or not, you have to keep it." Yun Xi stroked her shoulder, "Don't think that if he talks ugly things first, I can cheapen him!" The old man has been around for many years, and now he still cherishes his life. If you say that this kind of unpleasantness is not afraid? β
Scarlet smiled: "To say unpleasant things is to offend the master, but he has merit in the front, and he does it by skill." Even if he is offended, his master will use him. But this is not to be said, although it is safe for a while. Once you lose your dragon fetus, it's useless! She whispered, "If he says so, if he can really keep it, it is his work!" If not, he is like a god. I guess I'll have to point to him in the future! He has become a sperm, where can I scare him again? β
He sneered: "You have spent all your mind on judging people's hearts, and it is really no good to think about these things all day long." Seeing that she was about to speak, he added, "At least don't think about it for the rest of the day." As he spoke, he took her to the bedside, "It's time to rest, it's time to rest for a while." β
"The concubines will judge people's hearts again, and they are not as good as the emperor. The concubines always lose when they accompany the emperor in chess. Scarlet let let him hold it and lay down in the thin quilt all the time. Now in September, the Double Ninth Festival is coming. It's the south, and the night breeze is a little slight.
"You lose in chess, but you don't lose anywhere else." He hugged her and hummed softly, as if he was not sleeping, "Besides, I can understand the game of chess between you and me." Eighty percent or I lose! β
Scarlet couldn't help but look at him when he heard this, and when he saw that he closed his eyes, he simply stopped talking. After a while, he felt confused, and as soon as he came back, he felt that he was alive.
Now the two of them don't have nothing to say like before, but they are not the kind of people who can't wait to talk about a thousand words. It's just a casual few words, but she just thinks Ansheng. And he tastes fresh, smiles brightly, and embraces gently. Of course, his embrace of gentleness is only limited to this time, and he used to think that he did not have this advantage. Especially when he didn't care about it, at that time he was like a monster in the play in the eyes of Scarlet! This kind of extremely bad adjective scarlet heart only dares to think about it in his heart, and he doesn't dare to think about it much. I'm afraid that one day he will be forced to cry out himself!
But at this time, Scarlet felt that he now had another advantage, so he was even more grateful for the arrival of the child. She felt that this was the best, and he was by her side, but he couldn't toss her! She was a little embarrassed to think about it herself, and felt too greedy. In fact, the most perfect life in her heart now is that the harem is handed over to her to take care of, and she has a good reputation. He can come and see her from time to time, but don't come and toss her from time to time! One or two children, a little more is fine. She can help him keep those sisters in check, so he can be his good emperor with peace of mind! It was the same as the best she had ever imagined, but it was one more thing, and he could come and see her from time to time!
Yun Xi lowered her eyes and looked at her, curled up in his arms like a kitten. At this time, the eyes are closed, the long eyelashes are like butterfly wings, and the lips are slightly raised in a small arc, and I don't know what beautiful things I am thinking?
After the Double Ninth Festival, the 15th National Congress of September began, and the provincial officials and local relatives sent them to Jiangdu, and the emperor drove back to Luan. The emperor returned to Huai'an on the sixth day of the ninth month and learned that the concubine was pregnant. The concubine was exempted from all provincial kneeling ceremonies, and the next day the officials congratulated the saint, and the dragon face was happy, and a banquet was given to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival.
After hearing this letter, the Lezheng family swept away the frustration of being forced to marry their youngest daughter to Fengshun, and walked away, at least there was a pillar of support! During the Double Ninth Festival, the family ran to the temple to burn incense, so that the ancestors could bless the concubine with the safety of mother and child, and it was best to get a man in one fell swoop!
It was already early October when I arrived in Jiangdu, and then I changed the waterway and returned the same way. As a result, since mid-October, Scarlet Heart has had a violent pregnancy reaction, coupled with the beginning of autumn coolness in the north, going against the wind, and waves from time to time, the speed of the big wheel is not only slower than when it came, but also a little swaying than when it came. made her heart vomit so much that the yellow bile water came out, and she was already weak, and she was seriously ill again in early July. As a result, the strain worsened, and by early November, she was suffering from abdominal pain. Imperial Physician Feng's face became more and more deep and solemn. The scarlet heart knows in his heart, and the joy of pregnancy is not over, and the sorrow has come from it.
And at this time, there was good news from Feishu in the palace that the handsome concubine Mo Zirong gave birth to the prince on October 15. The Queen Mother was overjoyed when she heard this, this is the eldest son of the emperor of the Xuanping Dynasty! Yun Xi appeared to be the same, accepting the greetings of the accompanying ministers.
But Scarlet knows that he is not happy. It's a little strange about Scarlet Heart, since the time Jun Concubine was pregnant, although Yun Xi also showed joy, Scarlet Heart always felt that he was a little irritable. Because along the way, in fact, the palace will come to the regular newspaper every month. In addition to announcing some political affairs, there are also some standing affairs from the inner palace. Concubine De often played the situation of the concubine and asked the emperor for instructions. From time to time, he also coerced thoughts about the emperor and the like, and wrote very implicitly.
But Yun Xi basically threw this kind of regular newspaper directly to her, and only looked at some government affairs. Every time she mentioned it to him, he replied lightly. I don't care about whether the concubine's fetal relationship is good or bad! Not only did he not care, but later he even gave Scarlet a kind of baby that had always been good for him as if he felt very annoyed.
In fact, from the perspective of the concubine's family background, her father Mo Ling is the waiter of Zhuyi Hall, and the official residence is of the third grade. The brothers in the family are all Congwen, who are consulted in the Xuanlu Yuan and Fengshangguan respectively, and the family lives in Yong'an, the capital city. Since she was a child, she has also been educated according to the standards of a palace concubine, and she and the concubines have entered the palace in the first phase and are named one of the five concubines.
In terms of her family background, it is appropriate to be a concubine. As far as the status of the family in the DPRK is concerned, it has always been tepid, neither good nor bad. Her father was an honest official, often closed his doors, and did not participate in partisan disputes. The family still lives in the old house in the eighth corridor of the capital, and there is land in the township, which has been released to distant relatives of the clan to plant in the early morning.
And after the concubine entered the palace, it can also be said that she kept to herself. She has good cooking skills, I heard that the eight major cuisines are involved, and she will make some authentic Beijing snacks. The emperor was originally because of her good craftsmanship, so she had nothing to eat when she got old. Although the concubine has always been close to those who entered the palace at the same time, when Huamei had an accident, she checked it out and did not participate in half a point. I don't know about the methods of the concubines.
It stands to reason that such a person is safe. Even if she is in a high position, she will not have much impact on the DPRK. And she is just a concubine now, even if she has the eldest son of the emperor, it is impossible to rush to the back seat at once. It is not too much to be a lady, or even a concubine. For Situ, who has always been at odds with each other, Sima and the two parties. There will not be any big fluctuations in the dispute between Wenhua and Xinghua. The emperor can still hold the balance, and normally, he should celebrate and enjoy the relationship between father and son.
Unless the emperor suspects the origin of this child? It's even more impossible, confusing the dragon descendants is to destroy the nine clans, not to mention that Jun Concubine doesn't have the courage and doesn't have this opportunity, and she is not a dry eater to manage the harem.
Suddenly, my heart was excited, unless...... The emperor thinks it's not the right time for this child to come? The emperor didn't actually target this child, nor did he mean to target Jun Concubine. It's just that in the emperor's heart, this child shouldn't have it at this time. But when the child has it, it's not something he can control! Or maybe he thinks he can control it, but he misses it?
With the emperor's meticulousness and meticulousness, he is never a person who takes things for granted. Since he thinks he can control it, he must have a set of controllable methods. What exactly is that method, Scarlet can't think of. But obviously, Jun Concubine is the fish that slipped through the net. Then, the emperor's indifferent and even somewhat troubled attitude towards her can be explained.
But there is always a reason for everything, and the heir is related to the royal foundation. If it is said that the emperor's motive is to want to cut off his children and grandchildren, it can be said to be a big joke in the world. Unless the emperor is crazy, it is impossible to have such an idea.
The more he thought about it, the more the inexplicable fear of Scarlet Heart jumped into his mind, no less than the self-title he had changed at that time. Indeed, the southern tour and his party have made a great change in herself for Scarlet. She learned that the emperor also has affection in his heart, and he is also affectionate to her. When he doesn't call himself "I", the affection in his heart is less scheming and more warm. The relationship between the two of them is no longer just a monarch and a minister, but a husband and wife.
She understands this, she used to be too narrow-minded, and always thought that the so-called concubines in the world were all made up. But when he took care of her decency and put aside his identity to dig a little bit of soil for her. She really got it! When she was terminally ill and life and death were unpredictable, he would hug her and cry. She hadn't seen it, but she could relate it. I really get it! Because he understands, he can understand the reason why he is sometimes angry, so he will chase after him instead of blindly avoiding it. It is precisely because he understands that when he climbed the wall and ran to her house, although it was very unseemly, she was also sweet in her heart. It's even more because she understands that when he talks about similar experiences and looks at the suppression of feelings, she also feels empathy, and sincerely wants to protect this emotion. When he is in the palace, he can not hide or suppress, and truly achieve the unity of the emperor and Yunxi, without having to wander his soul from time to time.
But these are not in conflict with other women he has. As long as those women don't affect the balance of the harem, she doesn't mind loving and caring for them as sisters, and tries not to let them be wronged.
Scarlet still remembers what he once said that night at home, he said, together a game of "no-game chess". Bet on whether she will settle his heart or if he will make her surrender. Of course, she will reassure him, so that the feelings in his heart can be released without becoming an obstacle to the imperial industry. Although this meant that she would continue to fight until she broke her breath, she did not mind or fear. And she will surrender to him, for she is the most loyal. Whether she is loyal to the country or to him, she will be the most loyal role model. He has won and not lost at the beginning of this chess game, but he still says that he has lost eighty percent. Or, is she really ignorant of this, or is it really difficult for her to guess that the emperor has his own subtlety?
Recently, Scarlet Heart has been very uncomfortable, but her brain needs to be used. Now I haven't come ashore either. It takes more than ten days to go ashore, and it is already November when I enter Beijing, and the Qianqiu Festival of the Queen Mother is approaching, and it is estimated that I will go back to catch the full moon of the son of the concubine, and then the emperor's longevity. And then it's time for the New Year...... This file after another, thinking about Concubine Lin Xueqing, it is estimated that she has been scared enough in the past six months, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to return to the original relationship with her in the future.
Yun Xi entered the middle cabin and saw her crooked on the couch looking at the sky with her eyes open, and she didn't even see him coming forward. Knowing that she was thinking about things again, he reached out and shook her wrist. Only then did she react, he sat down beside her, and when he saw that her body was getting worse day by day, he was so irritable that he suddenly reached out and hugged her. touched her hair and whispered in her ear: "This is too tormenting, look at that Feng Yichang doesn't have that ability." Rather than this, it's better to ......" He was a little speechless, paused for a moment, and added, "Don't you misunderstand what I mean, it's not that you don't want this one." I just can't stand a piece of meat tossing your life here! He knew that her heart was very heavy, and he couldn't help but add a sentence.
The tears in her heart were about to fall, and she said in a low voice: "The concubine knows that the emperor is sympathetic to the concubine, but the concubine really wants to keep it." She gritted her teeth and said, feeling that every word was biting at her flesh. Mother and son are connected, even if they are just a piece of meat now, they are also her sweethearts. Even if there is the slightest opportunity, she has to protect it.
Yun Xi hugged her tightly, her eyes narrowed slightly: "If you really want a child to be your side, you have it right now, you don't have to fight with your life, and when you wait for the future, it's not too late to regenerate." β
Scarlet Heart's eyes widened suddenly, and he struggled to get out of his arms. Looking at his expression, his hands were a little trembling: "Your Majesty!" β
He reached out and touched her face, and suddenly smiled: "What are you afraid of?" I'm here. β
She shook her head and said, "The concubine is not afraid, but the concubine does not understand." β
Yun Xifu hugged her over, this time with her: "I can see it, if you really understand it all." I guess it's ...... me close my eyes."
Scarlet was so frightened that he wanted to struggle up and kowtow, and finally let him choke back half of the terrible sentence. He smiled, a look on his face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
"It's good to rest, since you want to protect this tire, you should also maintain it more. It's not a good thing to have a lot of things going on at home all day. He told her to lie down, and stroked her hair for a while: "After returning to the palace, you don't need to be a director for the time being." Raise it with peace of mind. β
Scarlet replied lightly, he had been exhausted recently, and his brain was indeed tired after spending a long time just now. He said no more, and after a while he fell asleep dizzily.
On the sixth day of the first day of November, the emperor drove back to Luan, and this route passed through eight provinces and six prefectures, with a total of 33 large and small towns, which lasted five months and 20 days. When the time comes, the Queen Mother will decree that the southern tour has already cost a lot, and there is no need to congratulate the mourning family for a thousand years. Scarlet understands that the Queen Mother is actually tired. What's more, this year's forty-seventh birthday, which sounds unlucky, and she feels uncomfortable to celebrate in a big way. Yun Xi naturally knew it in his heart, so he followed his wishes, and after the Empress Dowager Nan Xing, she felt the merits of the first emperor and the rest of the emperor's thoughts. Therefore, this year's longevity will be long, all of them will be reformed and reduced by half, and all the ministers will be sage!
After returning to the palace, the emperor gathered his ministers, made a summary of the southern tour, and rewarded the ministers who were ordered to stay in the court. In fact, the emperor's danger in Pingzhou has been transmitted to the imperial court, as the central set of the right Cheng Lin Xiao is trembling at this time, Pingzhou belongs to the southern province, but directly under the central set and managed, the seven provinces of the general patrol for the central set recommended appointment. Now there is a series of things in Pingzhou, and there is a big disaster such as besieging the emperor's bad intentions.
Although that period of Guangzu had been dismissed from his post and his family, he was escorted to Beijing. But if you don't tick it up, you have to toss it to the central order. Therefore, as soon as the emperor ascended to the palace and sat in the court, he was already sweating on his back. Fortunately, the emperor only lightly mentioned this matter, saying that this problem stopped at Duan Guangzu and did not want to pursue it further. This is naturally the emperor's strategy to control the ministers, although the entire team of the central assembly has also discussed this matter before, but it is really silent. The main reason is that now Yangji and Gyeonggi are not very good at dealing with each other, and they can't stand someone fanning the flames around the emperor, not to mention, that Zuo Hanqing still personally drove south.
Putting aside the affairs of the court for the time being, now that the capital has entered winter, they caught up with the snow when they first arrived in Yong'an. When Scarlet Heart entered the harem, he saw a silver ball that touched his eyes, and the snow was drifting like smoke, because it was not the coldest time, it was dense but difficult to survive, and it was wet. But the trees and the houses were covered with a layer of white, and the snow was very urgent, and it was misty as if it had become a fog.
Scarlet Heart has already changed into big wool clothes on the road, plus the south is warm and the north is cold, and now that he has come along, he feels that the difference between the seasons is particularly obvious, and he is more and more afraid of the cold. But I feel that the air is very fresh, the trees are still green, and they are not depressed, so it can be seen that the capital is still warm a while ago, the evening chrysanthemums are flourishing, and the snow is still delicate. Let her like it very much, and suddenly feel that no matter how good Huai'an is, this is her home in the end!
But as soon as I returned to the harem, I already felt that the atmosphere was a little weird. originally thought that she would go out with her in the past half a year, and with Lin Xueqing's personality, even if she didn't face her with a cold face, she would definitely not be as enthusiastic as before. After all, before, she thought that she could accompany her to the south, and she also wanted to tell the emperor with her scarlet heart. As a result, Scarlet refused to buy her face, not only did she not buy it, but in the end, she reaped the great favor of a lone king. If you change it, you have to hate your scarlet heart to the bones.
But this time it's a mistake to think about it, Xueqing is simply a peach blossom face in March, and the spring is full of smiles. As soon as Scarlet Heart entered the Hui Palace to rest, Xue Qing led a group of concubines to visit. First, I came to congratulate Scarlet for being pregnant with a dragonborn, second, to greet her for her tiredness from this trip, and third, to praise her for how she bravely protected the Lord when she was serving, and she was both wise and brave, which was as if she had seen it herself. praised Scarlet Heart as a first-class loyal and virtuous person in ancient times, and he was dizzy when he heard it.
Scarlet heart is crooked on the warm bed, drying the stove, wearing a blanket with flipped hair, and the face is slightly dyed, although he feels weird in his heart, but his face still looks lazy. Now that the concubine has just gotten a child, she is in the palace and has not come. Mrs. Ning Hua has long been in seclusion and no longer sees people, so she can't see her face. The rest are just concubines, Wu, Chen and a few other beauties. The rest, although they came with Concubine De, were not allowed to enter the inner hall due to their status.
He and the concubines had no friendship with Scarlet Heart, and they said some clichΓ©s for a while, and when they saw that the concubine was lazy, they didn't feel interesting in their hearts. After standing up for a while, he got up and took leave. had to joke with her with a spring breeze.
"My sister is so blessed this time, in the end, it is the water and soil in the south to raise people, look at my sister is getting more and more water and crystal clear." Xue Qing sat on the edge of the bed with a smile, her eyes were like spring dew, "Now that my sister is pregnant with a dragon fetus, I have my sister to take care of everything, so I can't work anymore." Otherwise, my sister really can't get over it. β
"It's still my sister's sympathy, and I'm thinking that I want to steal for a while. But I feel that my sister has been working too hard recently, and I feel very sorry to go. "Scarlet Heart has this intention, recently she has been unstable, and the emperor has been hiding this matter from the outside. So when she came back, she also wanted to take advantage of the situation to find a chance to get out, so as not to be too strong against the wind and make people red. So as soon as he heard Xue Qing say this, he immediately reached out to hold her hand and whispered.
"Yo, look at my sister's cold hands. Hold on! Xue Qing hurriedly put her hand into the quilt, "This time, I have indeed lost a lot of weight." Where is my sister's hard work, it's not as good as my sister's nails. It's time to rest now, and I can't bother my sister anymore. Sister Ming'er came to see her sister again. With that, she stood up and drove back to the palace.
Xiuling and Chang Fu have been sending her out of the Hui Palace, and only then did they turn around, seeing that Concubine De's strength was a little strange now, they asked Xiucai for a while: "How has it been in the palace in the past half a year?" β
"It's nothing, it's just a matter of taking care of the servants every day. It's just that Concubine De sent someone a month ago, and the concubine was about to give birth at that time, and she wanted to write a blessing post to Concubine Jun, and last year the concubine sent her very well, but it happened that she couldn't turn it over for a while. I came to ask if there was a ready-made post here, and I took it to Concubine De to describe it. Xiucai listened, "Nothing else." β
"This thing is written by someone, so why bother to come here to find it?" Xiu Ling's mind turned around and said, "Did you give it after that?" β
"I'm also too lazy to look for it, so I sent someone to the imperial pharmacy to find someone who is used to writing, and got an errand to finish." Xiucai already knew that her master was not sincere to Concubine De, so where did she care.
Chang Fu frowned slightly when he heard this, and he slowed down when he heard her say this: "It's best to find a ballast if you have nothing to do." Now that the master has a dragon fetus, he can be careful with 10,000. β
"Am I not going to save this?" Xiucai smiled, "Xiao Anzi also said a while ago, now that our mother is not at home, this portal is still appropriate." It is not interesting to save people from making mistakes and then apportioning them to the master. β
"You've made some progress." Xiu Ling raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and she didn't say much, and hurriedly came in to kill the scarlet heart. Imperial Physician Feng will come over after a while, and the palace has been empty for half a year, so she also plans to take care of it. Looking at Concubine De in the past half a year, there has been no movement, but why is this attitude a little strange. These people have been following the scarlet heart for a long time, and they are the most sensitive. It's normal for Concubine De to throw her face, but it's so hot.
Chang Fu smiled for a while: "I guess I guess, Concubine De understands now." Our master is not the same as in the past, and he accompanied the holy driver on his southern tour alone, and he was meritorious in saving the driver. The master is now a concubine, what else can it be if she is sealed again? If you want me to say, she is right to do this, and she should be aware of current affairs. I didn't have the ability to go with me at the beginning, but now it's time to admit it. β
"You're out of shape! Are you still worried about the position of the head of the bureau? Xiu Ling glanced at him, "Don't be too proud, Niangniang speaks, everything in the world must have a reason." Where is it? So saying, he ignored him, and went about his own business. In fact, she also thought a little like this in her heart, but she always felt that Concubine De bowed her head with peace of mind, and it was not quite like her. simply don't care about these, it's serious to send away the scarlet heart first.
