Drink until dawn

It was a little gloomy that day, and I sat in the carriage and watched my father and Aunt Fang frown across from me.

None of them looked very good.

I naturally know that Su Niangniang's body has always been a little weak, and she is still clearing Gu poison, so I am afraid of fainting suddenly at this moment...... It's not a good thing.

To be honest, I'm also a little worried.

A few days ago, I went to Su Niangniang to endorse and read the book, but she was embarrassed and her face was not very good.

Medicine, she also took it on time, but I don't know which link went wrong again.

The carriage finally arrived in front of the palace gate, and before I was about to get off the car, I reacted, and before I knew it, my back was also covered with a layer of sweat.

Daddy's steps were very fast, and he hurried to the inner palace as soon as he got out of the car, and Aunt Fang and I chased after him for a long time but could only watch him go farther and farther, this kind of scene, until he was outside Su Niangniang's dormitory, he was stopped by the big eunuch in charge of the harem, and we could catch up with him.

"Lord Rui, you are a foreign minister, and you are not allowed to enter without an edict!" The eunuch was also a little embarrassed, and bowed to us with a bitter face, "You wait a minute, let the slave go and report." ”

"Go quickly!" Daddy's voice was cold, "Also, how is she?" Has the doctor been diagnosed? ”

"The Imperial Doctors are coming." The eunuch replied, hurried into the hall with small steps, and after a while, he stretched out his hand, "Your Majesty is invited!" ”

Let's hurry forward.

The hazy and delicate light veil in the hall was hung up, Su Niangniang was lying on the couch and had not woken up, her face was a little haggard, Her Majesty sat beside her, holding one of her hands in the palm of her hand, and the light and shadow fell on his well-defined face, I felt for a moment that His Majesty's majesty in front of the ministers at this moment was gone, leaving only tenderness and pity all over his body.

"Chang'an!" Daddy seemed to be very anxious, and after a few steps forward, he didn't shy away from anything, and stretched out his hand to directly pinch Su Niangniang's pulse.

My eyelids jumped.

Daddy, what is this doing? Feel free to touch the skin of today's queen mother, and in front of Her Majesty...... This is a capital offense!

However, His Majesty didn't blame him, just frowned and looked at Su Niangniang very worriedly, which made me breathe a sigh of relief.

Daddy's expression first changed from anxious at the time, and then stunned, looking at Su Niangniang in disbelief.

Even though he had his back to me, I could still feel him suddenly in a trance.

"How?" His Majesty spoke, and I saw his hand unconsciously resting on the marbled countertop at his side, and his fingers trembled a little.

I remember that in the past, when I memorized the text in front of my husband, I also clenched my fists so nervously and fearfully, but it was just ...... I've never shivered so much.

I'm a little confused.

His Majesty sits on the world, and no one threatens him, and he has always said the same, but why is he still like me at this moment, oh no, he is more afraid than me?

Could it be that if you are as strong and mighty as Your Majesty, there will be something to be afraid of?

I scratched my face, and then I heard my dad say, "I...... I'm not sure...... Why don't you let the Imperial Doctor take a look at ......"

My eyes widened.

Daddy would say such a wandering thing?

Is that ...... Su Niangniang's ...... Heavy?

I hurriedly looked at Aunt Fang, and then at Your Majesty, and sure enough, I saw a trace of horror on their faces, but Your Majesty showed only a little pale, and Aunt Fang suddenly turned red and clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

I took a breath.

Looking at Daddy, I don't know what to say.

"Your Majesty." The eunuch stepped in again, "The eunuchs have arrived......

"Xuan!" His Majesty spoke, his expression a little complicated, "Anyway, I want to know what happened to her." ”

Daddy glanced up at him, but said nothing.

The imperial doctors rushed in, and they stood in a room, and I looked at it, and probably the entire imperial doctors of the imperial hospital were here.

Tai Hospital mentioned that it was an old man who was over half a hundred years old, his beard was a little gray, and he came over tremblingly, put a fine silk cloth on Su Niangniang's wrist, and stretched out a few fingers.

At the same time, Uncle Qi Wang and his wife, who will get married next year, also came, and the two of them were also nervous, standing next to us and not daring to speak.

"How?" His Majesty asked again.

In my peripheral vision, I suddenly caught a glimpse of my father smiling.

Daddy?

I looked at him for an answer, but before I could ask him with a smile in his eyes, the voice of the old man came from the hospital.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Niangniang, congratulations to Niangniang," his voice was filled with joy, "The Queen Mother has been pregnant for more than a month!" ”

I suddenly understood, and the worry in my heart was instantly replaced by joy, and I almost jumped up, grabbed my father's sleeve, and eagerly wanted to ask him for confirmation.

Daddy nodded with a smile, "Ruyi, you're going to be a sister." ”

Before I could speak, I heard a sudden crisp sound in the room.

"Smack!"

When I turned around, I saw that His Majesty's face was flushed, and he grinned uncontrollably as he pinched the marble countertop that he had just broken.

"Seriously?" He got up, grabbed the official uniform that the hospital had mentioned, hugged the stone brick, his eyes lit up, "Say it to me again!" ”

"The mother is pregnant!" Natidian smiled, and took a room full of imperial doctors and palace maids and eunuchs to congratulate them, and we also congratulated them together, and when we looked up, we saw that His Majesty got up and walked two steps in the house.

"Nothing!" He was still laughing, waved away everyone's support and sat beside Su Niangniang, suddenly turned his head again, and said to Namen, "Then why hasn't she woken up yet?" ”

"Niangniang's body is weak, I'm afraid it will take a while to wake up." Nati got up, "The slave will first prepare some tonic soup for Niangniang to nourish her body." ”

"Go, go!"

His Majesty didn't look at him, but he still grabbed Su Niangniang's hand and kissed it to his lips, and there was no one else in his eyes.

As soon as the sleeves of my shirt were pulled, I turned around and saw Aunt Fang's eyes full of smiles, and motioned for me to go out with her.

I looked around and saw that most of the people in the house were gone, so I nodded and came out with her.

In the yard, Uncle Qi Wang was leaning against the tree, smiling happily, "Master is going to be an uncle too!" ”

"Not really." The eldest lady of the Yang family was also laughing, and reached out to punch him, "You have to pay attention to your words and deeds in the future, don't say something bad in front of children, and when the time comes, you will have another virtue!" ”

"What's wrong?" Uncle Qi Wang immediately shouted, "No matter how bad the master is, don't you like it too?" ”

"What are you talking nonsense!" Miss Yang's face suddenly turned red, "Who likes you?" ”

"You don't like me?" Uncle Qi Wang suddenly smiled, "But Lord likes you!" ”

"It's here! Don't talk nonsense! She stomped her foot and turned away.

Uncle Qi immediately raised an eyebrow at me, and I pursed my lips in response, turning around and letting them flirt with themselves.

I'm not in the mood to listen to them right now, and I'm more confused about where my dad went.

I searched for a long time in the palace, and then a palace maid told me that my father had just gone outside the palace.

I was puzzled.

I was so anxious when I first entered the palace, and now I haven't stayed for a while and I'm going back, why didn't my father wait for Su Niangniang to wake up before leaving?

I soon saw my father, dressed in white, who seemed to be thinking about something, and walked very slowly.

Daddy's back, lonely and cold, different from Yingying's smile in the hall just now, at this moment he seems to have taken every step so hard.

Aunt Fang was not far behind him, silently following him.

I caught up with him, and I was about to call my father, but suddenly I heard a long sigh from him.

My steps paused.

This sound seems to be able to show everything in the past in front of my eyes through the fog of those years; And through the tulle of the past, I heard the sound of wooden fish coming from nowhere, one in the east and one in the west, and it was difficult to distinguish between the noisy fireworks and the purity in this world.

When I raised my eyes, it was dusk, and the sun fell on those glazed tiles, and I felt a little clear in my mind for a moment, and I didn't make a sound, and followed him step by step to the outside of the palace.

This night, the whole Dawei was happy, cheering for the queen mother of the dynasty to finally get pregnant, but my father held a few cans of wine in the house, and drank one pot after another until dawn.

Such a scene is not common, the last time it happened was on the night of Su Niangniang's wedding, when my father, who had never drunk at that time, was supported and returned home with a full body of alcohol.

I sighed, stopped Aunt Fang, who couldn't stand it and wanted to dissuade her father, and persuaded her to go back to sleep.

Although she refused, in the end, I insisted on going back three times in the next step.

Before I knew it, it was getting brighter, and I sat on the steps, my back against my father's door, silently accompanying him.

Probably because I didn't have much to do, and after a while I was sleepy, but this night I changed the state of being unable to wake up from the thunder I slept in the past, but I slept in a daze, and heard the sound of the wine jug in the house constantly opening, and then the empty jar falling to the ground.

I don't know how long it took, I didn't hold my head steady, I woke up in an instant, I hugged my knees and listened, I didn't hear the sound of the wine pot falling to the ground, I only heard the sound of my father's even breathing, so I was relieved, stretched my sore arms and legs, and told the people who got up early to enter the palace and say that I was not feeling well today, so I took a day off and went to school tomorrow, and then went back to the house to sleep.

Probably for a sober person like Daddy, who has never lived soberly, indulging in such trivialities is not a waste of time.

Let him do that.

When I woke up the next day, Aunt Fang had already boiled the porridge and sent it, I simply ate some, and then asked the maid if Daddy Xiaojiao had gotten up.

"The prince just got up, and said that he had a headache," she said as she cleaned up the table, "Miss Fang has already boiled sobering soup for the prince, and she is feeding the prince in the house at the moment, is the county going to take a look?" ”

I smiled, looked at the birds bouncing on the branches outside the window, and shook my head slightly.

Daddy has a life of his own, and I can't always be that eyesore.

"Anyway, I won't go to school today, so why don't you go with me and choose some gifts." I pinched the bracelet in my hand and thought for a moment, "I'm also a sister, so I have to choose some greeting gifts for my future little follower!" ”
