24. Birthday (today's birthday)

"An hour ago, Fang Zhaoyi's body was found in the back mountain, saying that it was miserable, and the mother didn't want to inquire anymore, it polluted the mother's ears, and the slaves and maids couldn't afford it." Luo'er also knew about it, for fear of scaring Xia Li, and if there was another mistake, she hurriedly stopped Xiao Mingzi from talking further.

After listening to Xiao Mingzi's words, Xia Li's face turned pale, took Luo'er's hand, and asked, "But he was killed by a thief?" ”

"Yes." Luo'er nodded and said, "The people in the harem are panicking now, and the emperor has also sent two teams of guards to guard Niangniang's Tingyu Pavilion, Niangniang can rest assured that there will be no danger." ”

Xia Li suddenly quieted down, bit her lower lip lightly, stood up, and walked to the courtyard with lotus steps, sure enough, every few steps in the hall, there was a guard standing, and Xia Li was relieved.

When I raised my eyes, I saw Wei Wuxian's figure standing in the courtyard, some distance away, looking at her, silently speaking, but I saw that my eyes were full of concern and worry.

Xia Li lowered her eyes in a panic, her little hands were clasped tightly, for some reason, every time she saw him, she had an indescribable feeling, but every time she had a reassuring calm, no matter what kind of chaotic minister and thief she was, Xia Li knew that no matter when, Wei Wuxian would protect her thoroughly.

For three days in a row, Xia Li had never seen Feng Moyu, I heard that there were always hundreds of miles of urgent delivery from the previous dynasty, and his body became more and more lazy, lying on the soft couch all day long, or going to the yard to see the flowers and plants, passing the time, occasionally taking a photo with Wei Wuxian, it was just the meeting between the eyes, despite this, Xia Li still felt at ease.

Fortunately, there are Luo'er and Zao'er in the palace, chat with her in your spare time, talk about the new things in each palace, the imperial doctor's decoction Xia Li is also taken on time, and she can eat more in the past few days, although Feng Moyu is very busy, but all kinds of rewards are always sent to Tingyu Pavilion.

In the past few days, everyone has kept silent about Fang Zhaoyi's death, although Xia Li has doubts, he doesn't ask much, after all, there are many people in this palace, and some things are better to keep in their hearts, just after noon at this time, Feng Moyu's reward was sent in again, Xia Li picked a few things she liked, and kept a few good ones, and let Luo'er send them to other palaces, and gave this reward to the queen and concubines according to their positions, and the others were rewarded to the next person.

Luo'er looked at the room full of rewards and said, "If the emperor gives such a reward, I'm afraid that there will be no place in our palace, and the slaves and maids will be soft." ”

Xia Li smiled silently, sat on the recliner under the tree in the courtyard, embroidered a belly pocket worn by a baby, light yellow as the base, light green thread as a lotus, every stitch and thread are Xia Li's intentions, unconsciously, there was a smile on the corner of his lips, thinking that his child would be able to meet him in a few months, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart.

The weather is sunny these days, although it is hot, but there is also a cool breeze, and the trees are just cool, at this time, Xia Li's long hair is holding a loose bun, only fixed with a jade hairpin, looking from afar, in that blooming flowers, such as faint clouds, not like the mortal world, occasionally the breeze blows, a few green leaves fall on the body, like a naughty elf falling into the red dust, looking at her appearance, even people have their hearts quieted down.

When Wei Wuxian walked into the hall, he saw Xia Li like this, far away, stunned, hearing that Concubine Shuniang was pregnant, his heart was not happy, not comforting, but a faint sourness and jealousy, such a beautiful woman, will never belong to himself...

The courtyard is silent, the flowers bloom and fall silently, it is a good time to steal a half day of leisure, Wei Wuxian also relaxed his spirit, leaning on a willow tree in the courtyard, staring from afar, the breeze is coming, the flowers are falling silently, in a trance, as if in a paradise, the fairy is embroidering under the tree, and he is the guard of the fairy.

In the evening, Feng Moyu rushed over, and saw Xia Li lying on the soft couch from afar, and the lanterns lit at night in the room also became hazy, looking at Xia Li sleeping soundly, he gently approached, picked her up, and put her in the tent in the palace, the curtain of the dragon and phoenix was hanging on the tent, and the pale lotus flowers were embroidered all around, and with the red lanterns in the palace, the room was full of ambiguous and lazy taste.

"Tomorrow is the queen's birthday, but Li'er is going?" Feng Moyu watched Xia Li wake up and asked.

Xia Li nodded lightly, "Luo'er just told the emperor?" ”

"Li'er should rest in the palace, the queen's birthday, I returned to her for you." Feng Moyu looked at Xia Li's sleepy eyes and fluffy appearance, and felt distressed for a while.

Xia Li straightened up, shook her head gently, and said, "The queen treats her concubines like sisters, how can the concubines lose their face because they have a body?" Besides, the concubine feels much more comfortable these days, and the sun is not so vicious. ”

"It's all up to you, it's just the same, you have to take good care of your body, and if you feel unwell, tell me immediately." Feng Moyu reached out and scratched Xia Li's nose, looking doting.

Xia Li nodded with a smile and said, "The emperor still likes to tease his concubines like this. ”

In the early morning of the next day, Xia Li got up early, and Luo'er dressed her up, today is the queen's birthday, she must not steal the queen's limelight, and specially instructed Luo'er to wear only a pale yellow dress, and the headdress was also selected to wear a few calm and generous ones, before taking the birthday gift and going to Fengyue Palace.

The queen's birthday, naturally everyone is going to break through the threshold, the ladies in the palace, all of them personally sent congratulatory gifts, Xia Li sighed, this harem has always been high and low, each knows how to flatter, now the queen's birthday, and catch up with herself to be pregnant, I'm afraid that today is going to be more lively.

"Niangniang, go slowly, I just let Xiao Mingzi go and call the sedan chair, Niangniang wants to go by herself, I'm tired now." Luo'er looked at Xia Li with some distress and said.

Xia Li raised her eyes, looked at the Fengyue Palace not far away, and said softly, "The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day, and the harem at this time must be very lively." ”

"Yes, although Zhaoyi died a few days ago, but now that the queen is on her birthday, she has caught up with her mother and has a body, so she naturally wants to be lively." Zao'er on the other side whispered.

"Jujube!" Luo'er turned around and glanced at Zao'er warningly, and Zao'er hurriedly admitted her mistake and bowed her head.

Xia Li's thoughts were led by Fang Zhaoyi's matter again, and he turned to look at Wei Wuxian who was a few steps away behind him, and said in a low voice, "Commander Wei wants to go with us?" ”

"Niangniang, the emperor personally ordered that Commander Wei will not leave an inch from now on." Luo'er replied truthfully.

Sighing lightly, Xia Li walked into the Fengyue Palace of the queen mother with the help of Luo'er, the concubines who often come on weekdays are naturally indispensable, and then some royal relatives and nobles also appeared in person, guarding outside the palace, waiting for the queen to summon them.
