Since that day, Xinyue has always had this attitude towards Rong Ying, and the indifferent Li didn't want to pay attention to him, and the small forbidden step that was broken, although Xinyue had already made people try their best to find the fragments and restore it, but Xi'er went to find the most qualified craftsman in the palace, and failed to recover this forbidden step.

Xi'er came in with the box, Xinyue looked at the missing piece of jade pendant and a large string of beads in the box, and Xinyue's tears flowed between the gaps of the jade pendant.

"Niangniang, this forbidden step is made by Master Gu, Master Gu said that there is still a piece of seed material left to make this jade pendant, and you can make an identical one for you." Xi'er said what she had heard, hoping to comfort Xinyue.

Crescent Moon shook her head, "Broken is broken, no matter how similar it is, I don't have any way to convince myself." Let Fei'er put this away, she knows how to put it away. ”

"Yes" After Xi'er went down, Xinyue sat on the couch all night.

Rong Ying looked at the crescent moon that was in a trance, and he didn't know how he could make her come back to her senses and look at herself.

"Your Majesty" Just as Rong Ying was about to leave, Xinyue stopped him.

Rong Ying snorted, "You say..."

"Even if you don't get a little love from the first emperor, but fortunately, there is Prince Lian and your master and father to guide you. If you don't have love for Lian'er, find him a master who can replace your father. ”

"Where do you start?" Rong Ying felt that these words were headless and brainless, and Xinyue was still in a trance, and she didn't give herself a straight eye.

"Every time you see Lian'er, you don't have any patience at all, and you don't have a loving look. Either to test his knowledge, or to find fault with his words and deeds. If it takes a long time, he will either become another you, cruel to his brother, and disobey your father. Either you will become a mediocre, sensitive and submissive. Although I take care of him, he longs for your love, haven't you ever looked forward to your father's love for you? ”

Rong Ying looked at Xinyue a little distractedly, and the two were silent for a long time before he spoke, "Do you really have nothing else to say to me?" ”

"Your Majesty, what I'm talking to you now is not an idle word, it's all for the good of Lian'er. I am your queen, and it is my duty to manage the harem and take care of my children. What more do you want to say to me? Xinyue raised her voice a little impatiently, and looked at Rong Ying with some eagerness in her eyes.

"If you want me to be different from Lian'er, you have to change. Haven't you heard the words "love house" and "wu"? ”

"Your Majesty really dares to say these four words. Is it satirizing that the concubine is not Lian'er's biological mother? Crescent Moon sneered angrily.

"I..." This feeling of powerlessness that can't say anything almost makes Rong Ying lose patience.

"You asked me to talk to you, but as on this subject, you never heard anything I said to you before. I asked you to treat your relationship with Lian'er well, but you were telling me what to love the house and Wu, and my attitude. I don't want to tell you anything now, since my words and my attitude are in your ears, like the wind, then I will not say anything to you, you can do whatever you want to be here, such an awkward meal as today, I think there will be fewer and fewer in the future. No one can stand it, an indifferent person, and I think Your Majesty is no exception. After March, there will be a draft in the palace, and when the time comes, someone will love you, and I will not be one worse. Xinyue picked up the tea in her hand, drank the cold water into her mouth, and two or two tears also fell into the teacup.

"I'll be nice to you in the future, forget everything before today, I beg you for the new moon, you give me a chance." Rong Ying had already walked to the door, he turned around and half-squatted in front of Xinyue's lap, only to see that Xinyue still shook his head cruelly, "I also beg you, give Brother Zhao a chance." Give me a chance, a chance to let me go. ”

"You're dreaming." Rong Ying shouted this sentence almost instinctively.

Crescent Moon hooked her lips and smiled, "Doesn't that tell the story?" You're so paranoid, how can I give you a chance? ”

"Please, give it a try" Rong Ying wanted to hug Xinyue when she grabbed her, but Xinyue remained motionless and let him hold her.

Rong Ying felt that her arms were nothing more than a cold, hollow person.

The two parted unhappily, indeed as Xinyue expected, this place, which has never been deserted since it was built, is now often not seen for many months, and outsiders only see Xinyue, a woman who has just become the queen, has fallen out of favor, but they don't know that Xinyue is happy and idle.

Two days later is the Shangyuan Festival, and a grand Shangyuan Lantern Festival is naturally indispensable in the capital, which is more than the bustle outside, and can better reflect the desertion in this palace.

The new moon was still sitting on the couch, embroidering the sleeves of a small dress, which was naturally made for the merciful child, from April and May of last year, to the present, the child in her womb was about to give birth.

Because it was the New Year's Festival, Lian'er did not go to the study every day, but rested and studied in her own room. Just after dinner, Lian'er was sitting on the other side of the couch, watching Xinyue seriously fiddling with the things in her hand, and asked with some concern, "When will the queen mother and father come to see us?" ”

"He didn't just come to lunch with you last month. And a few days ago, you saw him several times at the palace banquet and the family banquet, why do you still miss him? Xinyue asked the imperial doctor in private, saying that mercy should also be a man, Xinyue thought it was because of these, and Lian'er had a sense of urgency, "Then you go to the study tomorrow to say hello to your father." When he left, remember to read a few more articles of Mencius, he liked this book very much. ”

"Erchen wants my father to come to our palace to see you" Lian'er stood up, walked in front of Xinyue, and stretched out her hands.

Xinyue hugged Lian'er, who had grown to his waist, "They are all big children, and they are still spoiled by the queen mother, and they will marry their daughter-in-law in a few years, and the queen mother has to tell her about it." Crescent sensed that he was unhappy, so she diverted the conversation and said something light.

"Queen Mother, I know that you are protecting me, don't worry, I will protect you in the future. I am your son, you are my mother, I hope you are well. Lian'er cried a few times when she talked about the emotional place.

Xinyue patted him on the back, "If you just ate a stomach of food and cried, you shouldn't digest it." You, don't worry about me, you just need to read your books and practice martial arts well. If you want to go forward, the queen mother will push you, and if you want to go backwards, as long as it is the path you choose, the queen mother will accompany you. Isn't it good for our mother and son to depend on each other? Crescent asked.

"Mother, but you haven't laughed in a long time. It seems like you haven't laughed in my memory. Saying that, Lian'er carefully looked at Xinyue's face, "Queen Mother, I know in my heart that my father can make you laugh again." ”

Xinyue listened to Lian'er's words, he was really what he thought, he was a somewhat sensitive and intelligent person, he could perceive everything.

"Lian'er, I just want you and your father to know that there are not so many things in this world, and they will always follow your wishes. You want the queen mother to laugh, but the queen mother is unhappy in her heart, and it is also the right of the queen mother not to laugh. For your father, I should be a woman he loves, not something he must get. It's just that I'm a thing, but I'm obviously a person. ”

"Aren't you a thing, the queen mother?" After Lian'er finished speaking, she realized that she had said the wrong thing, and rolled her eyes a little crampedly, "Queen Mother, I said... You say... Oops, I didn't scold you. ”

Seeing his anxious appearance, Xinyue was rarely happy, and laughed, "Don't you look at the queen mother?" Your father doesn't laugh at the queen mother, but Lian'er can. If you say that the queen mother is not a thing, the queen mother will punish you. ”

"But the queen mother, you just said that you are not a thing, but... Oops, who the hell invented this, yes yes or no, yes yes yes yes Lian'er stomped his feet angrily, but the corners of his mouth were already raised, and he saw that Xinyue was indeed smiling, and the corners of his eyes were crooked. As a child, all he seemed to be able to do was make his mother laugh.

On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, there were lanterns everywhere in the palace, but no one had the heart to appreciate it, and the little dress of the new moon was not finished, and the news that the concubine was about to give birth was received.

The palace banquet in the palace, at the end of the afternoon, the mercy was still good, and he talked to the new moon about this year's lanterns.

One of the largest large lantern mountains, is donated by Liubao Zhai, but the most beautiful, but is the fairy flying lantern on the Shaohua Pavilion, coincidentally two lanterns one left and one right, are placed on the Vermilion Bird Street, if you stand on the city wall to see, you can see clearly, she is also noisy and waited for the night, go to the city wall to watch it.

Fortunately, the grandmother and Xinyue around the mercy did not allow her to mess around like this, and persuaded her to go back to the palace.

But as soon as she arrived in the palace, she passed on to the imperial doctor because of abdominal pain.

When Xinyue received the news, she was changing clothes in the apse, and naturally as Yu He said, she would wear a luxurious golden crown on her head, but before Yu He entered the ground, she couldn't tell herself how heavy this golden crown was.

"Did you pass on the Imperial Doctor? Are the midwives and Mrs. Li here? Crescent Moon sped up the change of clothes, and the crown on her head was also pulled up casually by her and set aside.

"It's all arranged, and Mrs. Li has already invited it, so let's go over and take a look now." The people who talked back and forth told all the things around Mercy, and Xinyue didn't have time to change her underwear, but she just took off the phoenix robe that stretched out her hand, changed into a homely robe and went to the Taofei Hall where Mercy was located, and as soon as she arrived at the door, she heard Mercy's voice shouting, "Is Niangniang coming?" I asked my mother to stay with me here. ”

"Go call, go call, Niang Niang is here." The one who answered was Wen'er, the personal maid of mercy.

The new moon did not delay, bent down and entered through the curtain, and saw that Mercy was already lying on the bed, the midwife and the palace maid surrounded her, and the imperial doctor was also waiting behind the curtain, and Mercy also had a good face, and her heart was half lowered, and she walked to the bed, and her hand was pulled by Mercy, "Niangniang, Niangniang, you have to be by the concubine's side all the time." ”

"Pity, you don't have to be afraid, the imperial doctor and grandma are here, Your Majesty is drunk and taking a nap, but I already know that you have a seizure here, I think you will come over in a while, and your mother has also received the news, I am afraid that I have not returned to the house yet, so I will turn back to see you." Your Majesty has allowed you to give birth with your mother, what a gift it is to you. ”

"Niangniang, Niangniang, I'm afraid" The corners of her eyes were full of tears, and her forehead was full of sweat, Xinyue picked up the handkerchief and wiped it off for her one by one. There is also plenty of charcoal in the house, the air is well circulated, everything is prepared without any shortcomings, and the new moon advises mercy to rest assured.

The amniotic water of mercy has been broken, and it is only a matter of time before the child comes out, and it is rumored that His Majesty sent someone to ask about the situation, and Xinyue saw the pity that he was looking forward to, and when he heard that His Majesty only sent a small yellow door, he couldn't help frowning, and sighed in disappointment.

"Pity, it takes a long time for a woman to give birth, Your Majesty is so busy, state affairs are important, you wait, when your mother comes, I will go back to Your Majesty in person, and then we will come to see you together."

"Mother, does Your Majesty dislike me, and the child in my womb. And on the day of His Majesty's birthday, if it weren't for the concubine's words and let you hold a banquet, you and Your Majesty would not quarrel, and Your Majesty would not ignore you. The concubine knows that His Majesty has you in his heart, and he has no way to be angry with you, but he must blame the concubine. Niangniang, the concubine never wants to participate in the affairs of you and Your Majesty, but the concubine has to count on Your Majesty to live, and the children of the concubine will have a future when they point to Your Majesty. As he spoke, mercy began to weep.

"Don't be cranky. Moreover, you are also a knowledgeable person, if Your Majesty does not come, you will be resentful, do you want to use your own selfishness to hinder Your Majesty's management of state affairs? Seeing that her compassion was out of control and her breath was unstable, Xinyue could only use a greater reason to coax her.

Sure enough, Mercy listened, although he was still a little unwilling in his heart, but he stopped crying and asked Xinyue, "Is Your Majesty really something important?" ”

"There are big things in the country, and there are small things. Come, drink some ginseng soup to nourish your minds. You don't have to think about anything now, just give birth to a white and chubby son for Your Majesty. As she spoke, Xinyue fed a few mouthfuls of ginseng soup to Mercy, and although Compassion was uncomfortable, she also drank it in one gulp.

"Niangniang, what do you think this child will look like?"

"You are Lian'er's aunt, and you are sisters with the former queen, you can imagine what Lian'er was like when she was a child, this child is probably what she looks like." Xinyue wiped the sweat on his face, but he laughed, "The concubine still remembers, the first time I saw Lian'er, it was at the concubine's ceremony, His Majesty hugged him, he was only a few months old at the time, but he has always pestered you, Niangniang, he is afraid that from the beginning, he knew that you would be his mother." ”
