Chapter Fifty-Six: Heaven on One Side and Hell on the Other
Inside the car, the air was solemn, and Xuanyuan Xuanling still had his eyes closed expressionlessly.
Yulian wanted to explain a few times, but when she saw that he was so cold and arrogant and slightly aggrieved, she also sat silently, closed her eyes and recuperated, and actually fell asleep again.
The sound of horses' hooves was particularly piercing in the silence of the night, and they galloped through several long streets towards the outside of the city.
In the suburbs, the car slowly stopped at the gate of the palace, and Yulian didn't know when, next to Xuanyuan Xuanling's shoulder, sleeping sweetly.
He wanted to wake up Yulian, but after all, he couldn't bear it, so he picked her up, and Yulian, who was sleeping in a hurry, shrunk her body and smiled secretly.
When he is angry, he can only overcome rigidity with softness, and deal with it with thousands of pounds in four or two, and this trick has been tried and tried.
But why didn't he return to the palace, but took himself outside the palace?
Yulian secretly looked around, and vaguely remembered that this seemed to be the palace in the suburbs, Lingxiao Palace.
Lingxiao Palace, he once said, this is his mother's favorite palace.
Because, the entire palace wall is full of Lingxiao flowers, hence the name.
Entering the palace gate and walking to a hall, Xuanyuan Xuanling saw that Yulian woke up, and immediately let go of his hands, and was about to put her down, who knew that Yulian stretched out her hands, hooked his neck, and said coquettishly: "Husband, the lady knows that she is wrong, and she will never dare to go home at night in the future."
Listening to these soft and cute words, she was hooked by her hands and her neck, Xuanyuan Xuanling was still angry, but she still pretended to be angry and said: "Let go, little liar, I will be deceived every time." ”
Yulian saw that he was unrelenting, and thought that she had indeed been a little too much in the past few days, and she had been running outside the palace, but she hadn't gone to look for him once, and she didn't return tonight, which made him worried, okay, say something nice, and coax him.
"What is the night in the countryside?"
"When are you going to be in the same car with the prince today?"
"Shame is not ashamed to be ashamed."
"I was troubled and tired to learn about the prince."
"The mountains have trees and the trees have branches,"
"I don't know."
This 'Yue Ren Song' is meant to express a woman's affectionate and shy love for a man.
Yulian casually changed the first sentence of 'the middle of the island' to 'the middle of the suburbs', which is both appropriate and reasonable, plus its affectionate vein, with peach blossoms in her eyes, and a soft whisper, the man opposite who is in love with her, where she can still hold it, as soon as she stretches out her hand, she will be hugged into her arms.
"Not angry?"
"Well, how easy is it to be really angry with you?"
"But you've been black-faced, it's terrible."
"I'm black-faced, it's because you're a little fool, you're so crazy that you can't even remember your birthday."
"When is my birthday?"
"It's today, the sixth day of the second month, and the time of Kezi is almost over, and your birthday is about to pass."
"What? It's today, and it's about to pass, I really don't remember, these two years, I always forget my birthday. Yulian sighed, her tone full of regret.
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a tightness around her waist, and it turned out that Xuanyuan Xuanling had tied a belt for her, and said in a low voice: "It's still too late, a gift for you." ”
The embroidery of the belt is not luxurious, but it is exquisite and elegant, and it is not like the palace supplies.
The meaning of this belt: similar to an engagement ring, if you give a belt and tie it to the other party, you are engaged for life.
Yulian didn't know the reason, he even had such a deep thought about giving a birthday gift.
But Yulian can't say what she likes about this thought: "What about another one?" She held out her hand.
He couldn't help laughing, put another one in Yulian's hand, and pretended to be disgusted: "Shouldn't this be prepared by the lady herself?" ”
"Didn't you just say it, the lady doesn't care, it's all up to her husband to give a lot of advice." Yulian was mischievous and wanted to tie the belt around his waist as she spoke.
"Wait, when you tie your belt, don't you still say the words of blessing? It cannot be omitted. He grabbed Yulian's hand and said seriously.
"The words of blessing, so numb, I can't say it!" Yulian frowned.
"Not a word can be saved." His eyes were serious, and he didn't look like he was joking.
Yulian's eyes closed, and she said slowly: "One is one body, one is two hearts, one is three lives, and one is endless." ”
Wow, it's really numb.
This heart-to-heart connection, three lives and three lives are just enough, and there is one who is endless, just engaged, and began to give birth to a baby.
No, after listening to her recite this prayer, Xuanyuan Xuanling said with satisfaction: "Okay, since we have made a lifelong engagement with each other, when we return to the palace, we will choose a title and obediently become my concubine." ”
"Well, I'm even saving an engagement ring now." Yulian said casually regretfully.
"What is an engagement ring?" He heard another new word and immediately asked a question.
"Before getting engaged, you need to make a pair of rings, and when you get engaged, you put each other on the ring finger of your left hand."
"Why the left ring finger?" He was more curious.
"Because, the ring finger of this left hand is closest to the heart, and to wear a ring here is to show that the heart of the other person is firmly encased."
"Well, this can be had, tie it with a belt first, and then use it next time to kick it off, and you won't be able to run away anyway."
Before he could finish speaking, he casually picked up Yulian and whispered in her ear, "In order for this line to survive, I must start working hard now." ”
……
In the palace, there was a mess.
At the beginning of the evening, Chun Meiren had a stomachache, and after the midwife came to visit, she said that the fetus was unstable and she was going to be born prematurely, so she sent someone to invite the emperor.
I couldn't find the emperor everywhere, so I had to invite the queen first, and the queen had two days before the full moon, but she still came to the palace immediately.
"Don't panic, go to the Imperial Medical Bureau first and ask Imperial Doctor Liu to come, Mother Cui, you old people look at Chun Meiren, prepare snow ginseng water for her, and find a few more experienced mothers to ......"
The queen dragged her tired body, and after giving instructions one by one, she turned around and asked Jade: "Where has the emperor gone, have you searched all the way?" ”
"I looked for it, it seems that I went out of the palace to pick up Princess 'Qinglian' from Niangniang's mansion."
"Then send someone to invite you quickly, no matter what, you must invite the emperor back." This woman gives birth, that is, she stepped on the ghost door and closed it, in case something goes wrong between Chun Mei and the imperial heir, how can it be good? The queen was anxious and hurriedly ordered.
Chun Meiren had just passed the labor pain at this time, gritted her teeth and asked Mei'er: "What about the emperor?" Is the emperor here? ”
Mei'er looked at Chun Meiren, whose facial features were so painful that they were distorted, she didn't dare to lie, and said in a low voice: "The emperor hasn't come yet, he said that he went out of the palace, and the queen is sending someone to find it?" ”
Chun Meiren's eyes were filled with tears, and she clutched her sweat towel.
All the while, she was under tremendous pressure and tried everything she could to protect the child. No matter how difficult or bitter it is, she has always persevered, hoping to give birth to this child, and maybe she can slowly change everything, including her own destiny.
However, the emperor didn't pay much attention to herself, and only in recent days did she come to accompany her every day, she thought that after giving birth to a child, the emperor would be better for her, and everything would slowly change.
However, at this time, the child was born prematurely, and she was in pain several times to death, and hoped that the emperor would be outside, listening to the suffering she suffered for giving birth to a child for him, and give herself a few words of comfort to accompany her through this difficulty.
However, she couldn't find the emperor in the palace, she didn't understand, she really didn't understand, why the emperor was so cruel and left himself alone; How unfair is God, why should you treat yourself so poorly?
At this time, the labor pain hit again, and Jun Meiren gritted her teeth and roared in a low voice, "Why, why." ”
"Beauty, you must not be too excited, keep your physical strength, and wait to have the strength to give birth." Cui's mother on the side comforted her.
The queen has been guarding the outside until the golden light is revealed in the east and the sun is about to rise, and the midwife comes out, her face full of distress and helplessness, and she kneels to the ground with a "bang......
The sun rises in the east, the glow of the sun, through the screen window, reflected in, Yulian woke up violently.
He looked at the emperor who was still sleeping beside him, and was surprised, usually at this time, he had already discussed in the Xuanyuan Palace.
"Your Majesty, it's time to get up." She gently nudged him who was sleeping beside her.
After a long time, he said vaguely: "Okay, listen to the lady." ”
"Doesn't the emperor have to discuss matters today?"
"For the first time, let me take a day off."
When Yulian heard this, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Since I met him, this is the first time he doesn't have to get up early, the first time he can sleep until he wakes up naturally, and the first time he doesn't have to go to the court to discuss matters, right?
Emperors and generals, those who are in high positions, which one is easy?
"Let's go back to the palace, I'm not sure." Xuanyuan Xuanling got up as soon as he finished speaking, and Yulian knew that he still couldn't rest assured that he couldn't go to the palace, so he also got up and quickly got dressed.
The carriage galloped through the lively long street in the early morning and headed for Nanhua Gate.
As soon as he entered the Nanhua Gate, the chief manager immediately rushed forward.
Xuanyuan Xuanling sighed in his heart, something happened, and it seemed that the chief manager had been waiting here for a long time.
"Your Majesty, last night Chun Meiren was born prematurely, and finally gave birth to a son, but unexpectedly, it was ......" The chief manager stammered, not daring to say any more.
"Say." Xuanyuan Xuanling shouted urgently.
"The second prince was just born, and he still has a breath, but after a quarter of an hour, it's gone." The Grand Steward whimpered.
Xuanyuan Xuanling almost fainted, this was his second prince, he hadn't seen him yet, it was gone, he couldn't believe it.
"Where's Junmi?" Yulian hurriedly asked.
"Chun Meiren gave birth to the prince with great difficulty, just breathed a sigh of relief, saw that the second prince was gone, was overly sad, fainted, and now the doctors are still rescuing?"
"Let's go, go to the Xishi Palace."
The queen has been staying in the palace all night, she was weak after giving birth, and now she is exhausted.
When he saw the emperor coming back, he knelt down: "Your Majesty, it's all your fault for the concubines, who didn't protect the second prince and Chun Meiren." ”
Xuanyuan Xuanling helped the queen up, and seeing that her face was full of exhaustion, he hurriedly ordered Jade to send the queen back to rest.
He endured his distress and chagrin and walked to the bedside of Chun Meiren.
Chun Meiren's breath was dying, her face was pale, her eyes were closed, and she lay motionless.
In fact, she had woken up at this time, but she was powerless, and she was even more unwilling to face the fact that she had lost the emperor.
The only way she had the strength to express her emotions was to scratch at the mattress with her fingers......
