For a few days in a row, Xiao Mo ordered someone to simmer the old hen with red dates and wolfberries to nourish Xia Man's body, so that Xia Man was a little sick to his stomach when he smelled the chicken soup.

"I just can't drink it." Xia Man patted his chest, trying to suppress the strong vomiting sensation.

Xin'er took the soup and persuaded, "Niangniang, you can drink it, the emperor said that you have a blood loss, so you should drink more." ”

Xia Man breathed a sigh of relief, gritted his teeth and said: "If you drink chicken soup, you can drink chicken soup, and you can't stew it without bloodletting, it's so fishy." ”

"The emperor said that the effect of blood replenishment is good in this way." Xin'er blew the chicken soup again.

"Illiterate." Xia Man muttered, seeing that Xin'er was iron-hearted, and it would be impossible for him not to drink it, so he took the bowl, pinched his nose, drank it in one gulp, and quickly poured a few large sips of tea before the fishy smell in his mouth was lightened.

"That's right, Niangniang drank chicken soup, her body is fine, and maybe she will add a prince next year." Xin'er took a pomegranate, peeled off the seeds one by one, and handed it to Xia Man.

Xia Man ate pomegranates, although the juice was sweet and greasy, but his heart was bitter, and he said to himself: "You say, if a person loses his life span of thirty years, how long will he live." ”

Xin'er didn't know why, so she only replied: "Ordinary people have reached the age of destiny, and they are already living a long life, and if they lose thirty years, they will definitely not live forever." ”

"It doesn't last forever." Xia Man repeated Xin'er's words, and there was a mist in his eyes.

Seeing Xia Man's expression, Xin'er quickly knelt down and said, "What's wrong with you, Niangniang, did the slave say the wrong thing?"

"No, hurry up." Xia Man helped Xin'er up, and said, "I'm going to see Bi'er, you can help me cook some porridge, I really can't drink the chicken soup." ”

"Yes, slave and maid will go."

Seeing Xin'er go to the dining room, Xia Man went to the nurse to take Xiao Bi out, these days he was busy taking care of Xiao Mo, and he didn't have time to take a good look at the child, they all said that the child grew up fast, one day at a time, sure enough, he hadn't seen him for a few days, his hair had grown a little longer, his face was rounder, and when he saw his mother, he actually smiled.

Xia Man kissed the child's pink and tender face, and played with it for a long time before he made up his mind and went to Weiyang Palace with the child in his arms.

Seeing Xia Man coming with the child in his arms, Zhou Jinge was a little surprised and a little envious, and asked, "Why is the concubine here?"

Xia Man looked at Zhou Jinge and asked, "If I leave the child to you to raise, will you treat him like a parent?"

Zhou Jinge was afraid that he had heard it wrong, but when he saw Xia Man's serious face, he knew that it was not a joke, and when he didn't know how to answer, Mama Li next to him spoke, "The queen mother is in full bloom in the Spring and Autumn Period, and she will have her own concubine, so don't talk nonsense." ”

"Then let Concubine De raise her." said that Xia Man was about to go out.

Zhou Jinge hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Xia Man, and said earnestly: "I swear by the glory of the Zhou family, this son is my son, if I treat him badly, let my Zhou family be destroyed." ”

Xia Man looked at the child in his arms again, held back the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes, and choked up: "Thank you." With that, he handed the child over to Zhou Jinge, turned around and left Weiyang Palace.

"Niangniang, is there any fraud in the concubine's move?" Mama Li looked at the child in Zhou Jinge's arms with a vigilant expression.

"No matter why, since it was given to me, it is my son, and it is my responsibility to protect him and love him." Zhou Jinge's way of holding the child was a little rusty, but he was still cautious, for fear of falling him.

Mama Li saw Zhou Jinge like this, and said: "Sooner or later, Niangniang will have her own children, if she has a sister-in-law in the future......"

"There will be no sister-in-law." Zhou Jinge muttered, as if he had thought of something again, and ordered, "Let people clean the Yisheng Hall well, all the decorations in it must be carefully inspected, and there can be no damage to the baby, and then ask a few experienced grandmothers to take care of Bi'er." ”

Mama Li saw that Zhou Jinge had made up her mind, and it was difficult to persuade her again, so she went to prepare the things for the baby.

After returning to Liangyi Palace, Xin'er saw that Xia Man had come back alone, so she asked, "Niangniang, didn't you go to see the prince?" Why didn't you bring it back?"

"It's for the Queen."

"What? What happened? How so?" Xin'er became anxious when she heard this.

Xia Man signaled her not to worry, and explained: "I'm not in good health, I can't raise a child, it's just right for the queen to raise." ”

"It's not good, the slave will go to tell the emperor."

Xin'er picked up her skirt and ran away with a smoke, no matter how Xia Man chased and shouted behind, she couldn't stop it.

Sure enough, after only a cup of tea, Xiao Mo came to Liangyi Palace with a black face, dismissed the palace people around him, approached Xia Man, and asked, "Why did you give Bi'er to the queen?"

Xia Man took Xiao Mo's hand, rubbed it into his arms, and said, "You also know that I gave birth to a blood collapse, plus blood sacrifices, my body is very weak, and I can't take the child anymore." ”

"There are so many nurses and mothers, when do you want to do it yourself, what you say is an excuse." Xiao Mo pulled away Xia Man, stared at her eyes, and said, "Do you think that you will not live long, so you are in a hurry to find the queen for Bi'er to rely on, afraid that he will be treated lightly if you leave in the future?"

Xia Man avoided Xiao Mo's gaze and argued, "No...... No. ”

"Let me tell you, I have only one son in my life, Bi'er, you can rest assured." After Xiao Mo finished speaking, he turned around and left, and Xia Man could feel his anger from his back.

It was night, Xiao Mo did not come to Liangyi Palace, Xia Man was disappointed but closed the door of the palace early, and kept comforting himself, "Anyway, I'm about to leave, sooner or later it will hurt." ”

When I fell asleep, I dreamed of the scene in the illusion bead, and the old voice kept ringing in my ears, and I couldn't avoid it.

"Give your thirty years of life in exchange for him to wake up, and give you thirty years of life in exchange for him to wake up......"

Xia Man felt a little suffocated, and struggled for a long time to wake up from the nightmare, the sweat that had already been cold dripped down his cheeks and fell on his shoulder blades, accompanied by the cool breeze of the late night, his body couldn't help but tremble, and then he began to sobb in a low voice, and he couldn't sleep anymore.

As soon as the sky was bright, Xia Man was really tired, lying on the couch, as if he was awake, he saw a crowd outside the window, and shouted, "Xin'er." ”

Xin'er pushed the door in, and when she saw Xia Man, she knelt on the ground and said happily: "Congratulations to Niangniang, the prince has to be crowned the prince." ”

"What did you say?" Xia Man had insomnia all night, his head was buzzing, and he couldn't think normally.

"This morning, the emperor issued an edict, saying that the noble concubine Yide, Zhao Shu is the biological mother of the emperor's eldest son, and the son is the crown prince by virtue of his mother, and the whole country celebrates together, and the world is amnesty." Xin'er cried with joy and quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Xia Man was stunned, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, not to mention that canonizing a baby is against etiquette, and then there is, what son is expensive by mother, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is a servant girl canonized, where is it noble.

Seeing Xia Man in a daze, Xin'er shook her arm and shouted again, "Niangniang?"

"I'm a little sleepy and want to sleep again, you go out." Xia Man came back to his senses, lay down again, pulled the quilt over his head, and forced himself to close his eyes.

This night, I slept for a long time, and no one came to disturb me, so that when Xia Man woke up, it was already late at night, he had slept in one position for a long time, his body was a little sore, he just wanted to turn over, but he didn't want to be held tightly by a pair of big hands, he didn't have to think about it, he knew who it was.

"When did you come here?"

Xiao Mo kissed her shoulder and said with sleepiness: "I've been here for a long time, and when I saw that you slept well, I couldn't bear to disturb you, so I slept together." ”

"That, is there something wrong with canonizing the crown prince?" Xia Man picked up a bunch of hair at random and wrapped it around his fingers, trying to calm down his thoughts, his mind was a mess, and he was really worried.

As soon as Xiao Mo turned over, he fell over, buried his head in Xia Man's shoulder socket, and the delicate kiss fell, itchy and long, so that Xia Man couldn't help but shrink his shoulders.

After a kiss, Xiao Mo approached Xia Man's ears and said hoarsely: "Why do you want to do so much, since you don't know if there is a tomorrow, you should live the present and cherish our every day." ”

Xia Man's nose was sore, and he hugged his neck, but he didn't know how to say a thousand words in his heart, so he could only hug him tightly.

The two hugged silently, as if standing still in time, and at this moment, Xia Man really realized that some people would really be remembered in their souls and loved to the bones.

"I heard that there is a desert in the suburbs, and the sunset is magnificent, and I want to see it." Xia Man opened Xiao Mo's bedclothes, reached out and touched the scars on his body, all of them were memories of each other.

"I'll go tomorrow." Xiao Mo simply took off his bedclothes, hooked Xia Man's belly pocket, and put his hot body on it, it was another night of spring breeze.

The next day, Xiao Mo got out of the morning court, and took Xia Man to the desert in the suburbs, looking for an excellent location, waiting for the sunset.

At that time, Xia Man was lying in Xiao Mo's arms, playing with the jade pendant on his waist.

"Actually, I'm not from here." Xia Man looked at the yellow halo in the distance through the hollowing out of the jade pendant, and said to himself: "Perhaps, one day when I die, I will go back." ”

Xiao Mo didn't show great surprise, he only put his head on the top of Xia Man's head, and following her gaze, the sun was a little lower.

"Go back...... Is it good there?"

Xia Man smiled and said, "No matter how good it is, there is no you." ”

"Without you, I'm tasteless."

Xiao Mo suddenly pulled open Xia Man's clothes, and bit down her white shoulder, and the painful Xia Man pushed him away and said, "Why did you bite me?"

"Make a mark, no matter where you are, you can't forget me." Xiao Mo reddened the corners of his eyes, hugged Xia Man again, pointed to the sky and said, "Look, the sunset is really beautiful." ”

The birds that returned late landed on the branches, the intertwined silhouettes cut out the irregular afterglow, the dust blown by the breeze shone with golden light, and the scenes fell in the eyes of Xia Man, which was magnificent and picturesque.

Looking at the eyes a little tired, Xia Man found a comfortable position in Xiao Mo's arms, and said lazily: "I'm a little sleepy." ”

"Then go to sleep, I'll carry you back."

"Hmm"

The sun sank, the afterglow dissipated, leaving a line of footprints on the desert, and at the end of the footprints there was a back, slowly walking back.
