Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Full Moon Ceremony of the Prince and Princess (Chapter 43 of Part 2)
In the evening, return to Fengyi Palace.
Yang Mubai was not happy today, and he was worried about her.
Pei Shengyuan asked, "What's wrong with Mu Mu?" The face is not happy. ”
Yang Mubai said: "Peony gave birth to another daughter, she wants a son very much, and she is not happy to see her today." ”
Pei Shengyuan said: "They are still young, and it is not impossible to have another son in two years, what do you have to worry about?" ”
Yang Mubai said: "That's what I said, but it's also dangerous to have a child, didn't Xu Lang say last time that he didn't want her to give birth again?" Besides, what if the baby is still a daughter? ”
Pei Shengyuan said: "Many women in the world give birth to four or five, and there are also seven or eight children, so give birth to children!" Born and born, it doesn't hurt so much. ”
Yang Mubai despised his psychology very much, and said: "Feelings are not born to you men, do you feel pain?" When a woman gives birth to a child, she is not born after working hard and suffering a lot. How many women have given birth to children and died, and you still dare to say cool things? ”
Pei Shengyuan said aggrievedly: "How can I say cool words? It is a woman's duty to have children, which woman in the world can have children without having children? ”
Yang Mubai asked: "So, I didn't have children before, so I didn't keep my duty?" ”
Pei Shengyuan hurriedly said flatteringly: "Okay! Mu Mu don't be angry, I didn't mean that. If you have to give birth to a son, isn't it Peony who insisted? Xu Lang didn't say anything, don't worry about it, okay? ”
Yang Mubai said: "You men are insidious, you don't have to suffer the pain of having children, you say that your daughter is the same, but you don't want a son in your heart." It is said that there is no birth, the world is not to condemn women, and there are still seven rules, and the husband can divorce his wife. You said that you can't give birth to a son, is it your wife's fault alone? ”
Pei Shengyuan said: "This is set by ancient sages, it is the ancestral system, and it is also for the family to continue to descend. We can't change that, let's not talk about that, okay? ”
Yang Mubai said: "You said that the person who customizes this system is not a man? Isn't this bullying women? I think it's custom-made by you men to oppress women. ”
Pei Shengyuan said: "The ancestral system is like this, and there must be a reason for it." This is not my decision, Mu Mu let's not talk about this, okay? ”
Yang Mubai said: "I think this system is not reasonable at all, why do you only ask women and not you men." If you men go out and fool around and cuckold their wives, they should also be punished. ”
Looking at the angry Yang Mubai, Pei Shengyuan could only joke: "Then how is Mu Mu going to punish them?" ”
Yang Mubai made a knife and said, "Castrate them all, so that they can't go out and fool around in their lives." You see that all the men in the Qinglou go out to have fun, and get rid of them all first. ”
Although it wasn't him, Pei Shengyuan still felt a hint of coolness, and said with a smile: "If Mu Mu is allowed to be the emperor, all the men in the world will suffer." ”
Yang Mubai asked rhetorically: "You say so, there is no good man in the world, all of them go out and fool around?" ”
Pei Shengyuan said: "I don't know about others, but I definitely won't, Mu Mu, you have to believe me." After speaking, he entangled Yang Mubai, and people began to become restless.
Yang Mubai was angry, where was she willing to follow, every time she used this trick, she was a little bored, and said, "I'm tired today, so I'll sleep first." ”
Then he lay down in the bed, turned his back to Pei Shengyuan, closed his eyes, and looked like he was rejecting people.
Pei Shengyuan was also angry in his heart, why was it getting harder and harder to coax, what did Lao Qian do with him when he was angry with him? He was so angry in his heart, he wanted to send it, but he didn't dare to send it, and he was even more aggrieved. He also lay down and slept indignantly.
After just teasing, ready to linger, Yang Mubai has never rejected him directly like this, and now he is uncomfortable, turning over and over beside him, making a lot of movements. also wanted to give Yang Mubai a signal, wanting her to know that she needed her very much now.
Yang Mubai used to be very considerate, and he would not directly dismiss his interest, only if he was too much, he would let him stop in moderation. Now she was still angry, and she was even more irritable with his small actions, she turned around and said directly: "What are you doing?" Let not let people sleep? ”
Pei Shengyuan said: "Mu Mu, I can't sleep!" After speaking, he stretched out his hand and wanted to hug Yang Mubai.
Seeing his ill-intentioned face, Yang Mubai slapped his hand away and said, "I don't want it today, if the emperor is uncomfortable, go to other concubines, don't suffocate, after all, all men in the world are the same." Besides, the concubines in the palace are waiting for the emperor every day! It's still justifiable. ”
When Pei Shengyuan heard this, his whole person cooled down. He flattered her so much, because he loved her too much, but he didn't expect her to be even worse now, so ignorant of his kindness.
He asked, "Is this Mu Mu's true words?" ”
Yang Mubai still didn't believe it, he really dared to go, so he said: "It's my true words, you can go wherever you like, and you can go to whichever concubine you like." ”
Pei Sheng got up, put on his robe, and said, "Then I really went?" ”
Yang Mubai said: "You go! I'm the queen, and I can't be jealous of other concubines. ”
Pei Shengyuan walked out with a cold face, thinking in his heart: It's too late for you to leave me at this time. In this harem, there is no place for me to sleep?
He walked to the door and saw that Yang Mubai had already fallen down again, with his back to him.
This made him even more angry, could she have ignored him now and pushed him out?
He walked out slowly, but Yang Mubai was still unmoved. He said at the door: "Hey, Mu Mu, I really went to the other palace concubines, don't regret it." ”
Yang Mubai said: "Your Majesty, please poop, Xiaoguo, close the door." The palace maid could only go and close the door with trepidation.
Pei Shengyuan was angry and walked towards Taiji Taihe Palace angrily. Because he did not live here for a long time, there was only one eunuch and a maid in the palace to guard him, and when he returned. The eunuch asked, "What did the emperor come back to take?" ”
Pei Shengyuan said: "I want to stay in Taihe Palace today, you go and clean up." The eunuch was ordered to clean up, and after a while, the return was already packed up and could rest in peace.
Pei Shengyuan returned to his palace, feeling extremely strange, thinking that Yang Mubai's character was capricious during this time, and he was always angry with him for no reason, the more he thought about it and got angry, the more he couldn't sleep.
I thought to myself: I can't sleep, it's better for you to sleep comfortably, how can this work. He returned to Fengyi Palace.
Yang Mubai didn't fall asleep either, she thought about it for a while, whether she was too much, her mood was always very unstable during this time, and she always loved to lose her temper. This is not the temperament of a queen. He immediately regretted it in his heart, what if he really went to the other concubines? Or go and apologize to him tomorrow and coax him back?
When Pei Shengyuan came back, he saw Yang Mubai constantly rubbing the quilt with both hands, and he knew that he was wrong. He gave her a step down, and then said, "Queen, I'm here, why don't you change my clothes?" ”
Yang Mubai hurriedly got up, changed his clothes, and then said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I shouldn't be angry with you." ”
Pei Shengyuan said: "What's wrong with Mu Mu lately? Is something going on? ”
Yang Mubai took the initiative to hug him and said, "I don't know, it's just that I love to lose my temper." I know it's not your fault, but I can't help but lose my temper every time. ”
Pei Shengyuan said: "Okay! Forgive you, let's not do this in the future, we don't quarrel, we don't get angry, okay? ”
Yang Mubai nodded and said, "Okay, I won't be petty in the future." ”
Pei Shengyuan kissed her forehead and said, "This is good!" Go to bed, rest early, take care of your spirits, our baby is ready to be born. ”
Yang Mubai shyly drew circles on his hands and asked, "Is the emperor still uncomfortable?" I can ...... now"
Pei Shengyuan scratched her nose and said, "Go to sleep!" When did I get so anxious? ”
Yang Mubai: "???? "Haven't you always been in a hurry?
Pei Shengyuan said: "The coming day is long, and the water flows for a long time." I wasn't right just now, I shouldn't force you, we have a deep relationship, it's not because of this. I love you very much, I want you to be happy, everything, put your mood first, if anything makes you unhappy, just tell me, okay? ”
Yang Mubai was moved by him again. If the husband is like this, what is there not to be satisfied with? She held him in her arms and fell into a deep sleep.
After a month like this, Pei Shengyuan picked a good day and announced that the queen had successfully given birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus.
A month later, a grand full moon ceremony will be held in the palace. During this time, the prince and princess were not in a minor illness, and after careful diagnosis and treatment by the imperial doctor, they were fine. Yang Mubai is worried every time, every time she is sick, she can take care of herself and never pretend to others, which makes her more tired and her temper gradually grows.
Pei Shengyuan saw that she had put so much energy into the child, and he was very distressed, and every time he comforted: "Mu Mu, the child has a nurse, a maid, and a doctor to take care of it, you don't have to work too hard." You see, you've been a lot haggard lately. ”
Yang Mubai said: "Then how can it be done? I am their mother, and I must take good care of them. You are a father, and you are busy with state affairs every day, and only I can take care of them wholeheartedly. ”
Pei Shengyuan said: "The nurse and the maid are all selected by me, they have experience in taking care of children, and they are also reliable people." Imperial Doctor Ye is also reliable, what else are you worried about? ”
Yang Mubai said: "I'm not worried about them, I want to take care of the children by myself, they are all my heart, only by taking care of myself, I can feel at ease." ”
Pei Shengyuan hugged her and said, "I feel sorry for you, I haven't had a good rest during this time, and your body is not very good, don't be tired." ”
Yang Mubai said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will take care of myself." ”
When the moon was almost full, the prince and the princess were in good health, and Yang Mubai breathed a sigh of relief. She remembered that He Shengnan had been in the palace for a few months, and she had been busy during this time, and she had almost forgotten about her.
In the evening, Pei Shengyuan came to Fengyi Palace, and she asked, "He Shengnan has been in the palace for a few months, how have you learned the palace rules?" Immediately full moon ceremony, there are many things, let her come over! ”
Pei Shengyuan said: "Then tomorrow I will ask the female official, if she learns the palace rules, she can come to Fengyi Palace." ”
On the second day, the eunuch went to the female official to ask He Shengnan. The female officials all said: "She has already finished learning the palace rules and can go to Fengyi Palace." ”
In this way, He Shengnan successfully went to Fengyi Palace on an errand.
Yang Mubai felt from the bottom of her heart that this He Shengnan was very clever, affectionate, and a person with a real temperament, and she liked it a lot.
He Shengnan has learned very well from walking, manners, salutes, and speaking, like a palace man who has been in the palace for many years. The sharpness on her body has also decreased a lot, and it seems that the female officer has taught quite well.
Yang Mubai hugged the prince, basking in the sun in the garden of the palace, and then said: "Shengnan, come over and look at these two children, do you like it?" ”
He Shengnan was flattered, but he didn't expect the queen to let her hold the child, this is the prince and princess, and the prince may be the prince and the future emperor in the future.
Seeing her stunned, Yang Mubai said, "Aren't you coming to hug them?" In the future, I will be on an errand here, but I will also take them. ”
He Shengnan walked over and picked up the little princess. She was cautious, for fear of making the child uncomfortable. Her face was full of tenderness, she loved this child very much, and when she saw her, it seemed that all the things that made her sad could be forgotten.
Seeing her like this, Yang Mubai said: "Just hold her, don't be so careful, you tease her, she will laugh." ”
He Shengnan has always been a straight temper, where will he tease children. said bluntly: "Little princess, you laugh one, laugh one!" ”
The little princess didn't react, He Shengnan smiled awkwardly, and said, "Queen Mother, in the palace rules I practiced, there was no such thing as taking children. I'm going to learn from the female officials. ”
Yang Mubai said: "No need! You watch how they take care of them on a daily basis, and you slowly learn. ”
He Shengnan said: "Yes, the slave maid takes the order." ”
In the next few days, He Shengnan learned how to take care of the children wholeheartedly, and she learned very hard. How to hold the child, how to tease the child, how to take care of the child when he is sick, how to feed the medicine, how to coax them to sleep. He knew it all by heart.
Then she began to get started and practice, but she was really not good at it, and she was too careful, which made her tired and sweaty several times. She jokingly said every time: "Queen Mother, why is this child more tired than me chopping wood?" ”
Yang Mubai said with a smile: "You are too nervous, just relax, the child is very fragile, but it is not made of tofu." ”
He Shengnan gradually relaxed, and after studying for a few days, the child would also be hugged. Feeding, changing diapers, feeding medicine were all well done.
Wandering around the two children every day, it is probably because of the motherhood of women, He Shengnan has not refused to be a thousand miles since he took the child, and the whole person has become very peaceful.
Yang Mubai felt that He Shengnan was more careful and attentive than her, a mother. She often said, "Katsuo, look how cute they are." ”
He Shengnan said with a smile every time: "The queen's child is naturally very cute. ”
Yang Mubai said again: "Children are like this, they have no troubles, no scheming, the most innocent and harmless." ”
He Shengnan said: "Well, the child's world is so good. ”
Yang Mubai said step by step: "Then you don't want to have a home in the future, and then have a child, how good is this." ”
Every time He Shengnan was silent for a while, the smile on his face faded, and said: "Queen Mother, not everyone likes to enjoy the joy of family, and children will grow up slowly." I'm used to being alone, and I don't want to find a random man to marry. ”
Yang Mubai said: "You haven't met someone you like yet, if you do, you will definitely want to get married." It's in every woman's nature. ”
He Shengnan said: "Then let's wait until I meet the person I like!" ”
Qiu Yue waited by her side every time, and she rarely hugged or teased the child. For her, protecting Yang Mubai is her top priority, and now, she still has to keep an eye on He Shengnan.
After another ten days, He Shengnan has taken care of the child more properly than the nurse. She pestered Imperial Doctor Ye again, asking the child to pay attention to his diet on weekdays, as well as how the child is prone to diseases, how to deal with it, and what medicine to take.
Seeing that she was very attentive, Dr. Ye wrote a booklet about the children's susceptibility to diseases at each age, how to prevent them, and how to use medicines. also took her to the Tai Hospital to learn about medicine, and also took a medicine box to prepare some medicine for her.
Children have headaches, fevers, coughs, etc., and He Shengnan memorizes each one. Doctor Ye was also studying the prescription beside her, and it didn't take long for her to learn some skills. She already knows how to use medicine for minor illnesses and pains.
Qiu Yue stared at her for so long and found that she was really doing her best to take care of the child, so she relaxed her surveillance.
Yang Mubai was very satisfied, it seemed that she was right to let He Shengnan enter the palace.
She often showed off to Pei Shengyuan: "Your Majesty, you see, He Shengnan is not a very capable person, she learns everything quickly and is very attentive." Taking care of the children now is better than that of me, a mother. ”
Pei Shengyuan said: "Mu Mu is very powerful, and I admire heroes with a discerning eye." ”
Yang Mubai said: "That's natural, you were still against it at the beginning." Now you know it's wrong, right? ”
Pei Shengyuan said: "Recently, you don't have to worry too much about the child's affairs, the whole person is more energetic, and his complexion is not bad." At this point, you let her into the palace, and it is very correct. ”
Yang Mubai asked: "Why do you have something to say here, is there anything else wrong?" ”
Pei Shengyuan said: "A person can do everything well, she is a talent, the key is that she is a good person." If she has bad intentions......"
Yang Mubai woke up and said, "She won't be bad for the child, right?" ”
Pei Shengyuan said: "I mean just in case, everything is fine with her now, there is nothing abnormal, don't worry." ”
Yang Mubai was still a little uncomfortable in her heart, the child was her heart, and she was very worried about a little unfavorable factor for them.
Pei Shengyuan comforted: "Okay! You also said that he is affectionate and righteous, and she will not be unfavorable to you or the child, and her look at the child can show that she loves the child very much. ”
Yang Mubai relieved himself and said, "It's all your fault, you scare me every time." If you don't say that, I won't think about it. ”
Pei Shengyuan said: "People are very complicated, I want you to pay attention, except for me, no one can be completely trusted, without a trace of reservations, understand?" ”
Yang Mubai nodded and said, "I know." ”
Pei Shengyuan kissed her with satisfaction and said, "Since He Shengnan is keeping an eye on the child for you, then we have time to do something else......"
Yang Mubai didn't resist either, and said, "You still said that you are not in a hurry, look at your ......"
Pei Shengyuan said: "I'm only so lustful to you...... "Urgent ......" is another lingering night.
Since He Shengnan entered the palace, Qiu Yue didn't dare to leave the palace for a day, and Zhang Shuo didn't dare to invite her again. On this day, the prince and the princess went to bed early, and He Shengnan went to the Tai Hospital to learn about herbal medicine, thinking that he would not come back so early.
Qiu Yue instructed the nurse to take care of the prince and princess, not to let them out of sight, and then go out of the palace.
Zhang Shuo and Xu Lang waited in Zhang's Mansion early.
When Qiu Yue saw them, she said, "Is there anything unusual about your staring?" ”
Xu Lang said: "We have been staring at us for several months, and she has not contacted other suspicious people, and everything is as usual. ”
Qiu Yue also said: "I've been staring at it for almost a month, she has never overstepped the bounds, she always takes care of the children conscientiously, and she is more attentive than the queen's mother." Now that it's calm outside, are we too worried? ”
Zhang Shuo said: "In two days, it will be the full moon banquet, or the banquet is over, let's try her again." If there are no problems, she can rule out suspicion. ”
Qiu Yue said: "Temptation what? ”
Zhang Shuo said: "If you want revenge, she should know some martial arts, or have helpers." I haven't seen her contact anyone else lately, so I don't think there is any help. If it was her manual, a weak woman, it would be impossible to attack a man. So let's see if she can do martial arts, and by the way, try to see if she is really loyal to the queen. ”
Qiu Yue said: "She has just entered the palace, how loyal she can be, let's try to see if she has martial arts first!" ”
Zhang Shuo said: "I have my own way. ”
Because it is the prince and princess in the palace, it was held unprecedentedly grand. Envoys from various countries came to congratulate one after another.
Zhang Shuo, Qiu Yue and Xu Lang are busy, there are too many people, and they are responsible for the safety of the palace and the envoys. I'm so busy every day that my feet don't touch the ground.
Pei Shengyuan and Yang Mubai are also very busy, envoys or princes and nobles from various countries come to visit, they all want to see the demeanor of the emperor and queen, and some small countries come a few days in advance, so they want to set up a small banquet and meet the emperor alone.
On weekdays, they are all in their own country, and they are very cooperative in paying tribute or gathering troops, and it is not easy for them to directly refute their face. In recent days, several small banquets have been set up and envoys from several countries have been received.
There are also some kings of small countries who have also come, so naturally they will also have to hold a separate banquet to entertain them.
Lan Zhao sent Princess Yongjing and Yang Cheng back, and they had just returned to Lan Zhao not long after. This time he had to return to the imperial capital, Yang Cheng was very happy, and Princess Yongjing was naturally very happy.
When they came back to live in the post house, Zhang Shuo and Xu Lang lived in Zhang's mansion where they were willing, where it was quieter. After all, it is not suitable to live in the palace.
Seeing that Xu Lang and Zhang Shuo were too busy, how could Yang Cheng be idle, so he also went to help.
On the way, Yang Cheng asked Zhang Shuo: "How are you and Qiuyue?" ”
Zhang Shuo replied: "Qiu Yue hasn't promised me yet, but don't worry, I have confidence, when this busy period is over, there will naturally be a way to make her return to my arms." ”
Yang Cheng said: "That's good, I'm still anxious for you, it's been so long, there has been no progress at all, and you are too useless." ”
Zhang Shuo said: "You haven't seen us for a while, we're all busy, where do you have time to fall in love." ”
Yang Cheng said: "Okay! I hope that next time I come back, I can drink your wine. ”
Zhang Shuo smiled and said, "Definitely!" ”
