When she returned to Mrs. Yao's mansion, the sky was already bright, and Zhong Cuiling took Yao Pei and Yao Jiu out to pick them up, because she said, "Sister, what is going on in the palace?" How did you get to this night? Both children were so worried. ”

Yao Hei'er sighed, told Zhong Cuiling about the matter, and then ordered, "Pei'er, you go to the kitchen and bring some food for your mother." He also instructed Yao Jiu, "Jiu'er, don't be idle, don't you like Sister Yu Niang the most?" Go and change into a plain set of clothes, and then my mother will take you to see Sister Yu Niang, she gave birth to a son. ”

Yao Jiu jumped up immediately with joy, clapped his hands and smiled, "Great!" Great......"

Before Yao Jiu finished laughing, Yao Hei'er glared at her eyes and said angrily, "There are no rules!" Your Majesty has just arrived, how dare you be so happy? Don't shut up yet! ”

Yao Jiu was so frightened that he shrank his neck, stretched out his tongue, and ran away with a puff of smoke.

When Yao Pei also went out, Yao Hei'er Fang and Zhong Cuiling said, "Cuiling, don't you remember who has a person named Qiu Qian in the family?" How do I feel so familiar with the name? ”

"Qiu Qian? Mound diving? Zhong Cuiling lowered her head and pondered, stood up again for a while, paced back and forth in the room a few times, and said, "This name is really familiar, I vaguely remember that it seems to have something to do with our Yao Mansion, but I can't remember, Qiu-dive-"

The door squeaked open, Yao Pei came with a few cooks and a few food boxes, and said, "Mother, these are your usual favorite foods, they were originally prepared, but this time it's just hot-" As he spoke, he opened the food box and put the food on the table, and said, "Mother, I'll go to see the princess with your old man later, okay?" ”

Yao Jiu had also changed into a moon-white plain clothes, walked in, smelled the aroma in the room, and smiled greedily, "Mother! I'm so hungry! After waiting for your old man all night, I was very worried, and I was not in the mood to eat. As he spoke, he sat down as well, picked up a pine pastry, and began to eat it.

Yao Hei'er looked at her little daughter dotingly, and said to Yao Pei without raising her head, "Pei'er, you and Aunt Zhong stayed to watch the house, but I am afraid that there will be some news from the palace." ”

Yao Pei unhappily dragged out her voice "oh-" and sat down with Zhong Cuiling.

After the family ate, Yao Hei'er took Yao Jiu out of the car and went to the East Palace.

It turned out that Mrs. Kou had been here with her daughter all night last night, and I heard a report that Mrs. Yao Guo was here, so she hurriedly brought her subordinates out to greet her.

After seeing each other, Mrs. Kou said to Yao Jiu, "Good boy, your sister is lonely in the room, can you go talk to her?" ”

Yao Jiu hurriedly agreed, jumped to enter the room, turned his head and saw his mother with a black face, busy pretending to be in order, and went lightly.

Mrs. Kou quietly pulled Yao Hei'er to a secluded place, and said in a low voice, "Sister, I vaguely heard people say that something happened in the palace?" How, exactly? Tell me quickly, I'm so anxious here, and I'm afraid that the princess will see it, and I have to think of something to cover it up, so I don't get irritable. ”

Yao Hei'er frowned and told the story of the palace, but she didn't mention the succession of King Ning.

Mrs. Kou's face became heavier and heavier, and she sighed softly, "God bless the Great Mu Kingdom!" There is still a war in the south, and I don't know what the outcome will be, and something like this happened in the palace again. We're all women, and we don't have a good idea. ”

Yao Hei'er also said in a low voice, "Madame, be careful, when she comes, the Queen Mother will deliberately explain, and say this to the crown princess and Niangniang, I am afraid that she will be weak after giving birth and will not be able to withstand these things." ”

Mrs. Kou hurriedly agreed, Fang took Yao Hei'er's hand, and the two walked into Kou Yuniang's room.

Yu Niang on the bed, her face was pale, she was haggard and leaning on the pillow, Yao Jiu was sitting at the head of Yu Niang's bed, looking at the child in the cradle with a smirk.

Yao Hei'er hurriedly bowed down, and said in her mouth, "Courtiers, see the princess and concubine." ”

Yu Niang smiled reluctantly and said softly, "Why is Aunt Yao so polite? Mother, quickly pick up my aunt for me. ”

A few mothers-in-law who came with Yao Hei'er also knelt down with a few congratulatory gifts. Mrs. Kou picked up Yao Hei'er, Yao Hei'er smiled and pointed to a few congratulatory gifts, "Niangniang, this is all prepared by the courtiers in a hurry, Niangniang, don't laugh at it." ”

Yu Niang owes her body, which is considered a return gift, because she said, "Auntie forgive me for being rude and let my aunt break the bill." Then he called the little girl and said, "Quickly bring tea to Mrs. Yao Guo." ”

Yao Hei'er came over at this time, bent down to look at the child in the cradle, and saw that the child was wrapped in a small quilt of yellow silk, his skin was very fair, and he was vaguely similar to the prince Li Yu, but he was thinner, and he was still sleeping soundly at this time, his little nose moved, but his eyebrows were twisted into a pimple as if he was dissatisfied with something.

Yao Jiu looked up at his mother and said with a smile, "Mother, look at how fun this child is." As he spoke, he went to pull the child's little hand.

Yao Hei'er hurriedly stopped, "You stupid girl, what nonsense." This is the Holy Emperor's grandson, how can you comment indiscriminately. Don't mess around, be careful to wake up the emperor. ”

Because he smiled at Yu Niang again, "Niangniang, from the courtier's point of view, this child has a blessed face, and Niangniang has this child, there is nothing to worry about." ”

Suddenly, from the direction of the palace, there was a dull and long sound of bells, once, twice, three times......

Yu Niang's face became more and more pale, and she grabbed Yao Hei'er's hand at once, and said eagerly and quickly, "Auntie, what kind of voice is this?" ”

"This ......" Yao Hei'er was speechless for a moment, she glanced at Mrs. Kou, and Mrs. Kou's face also showed a trace of panic. She hurriedly knelt down again, and said sadly, "Niangniang, last night, the saint has died, and the courtiers are here, originally in accordance with the order of the Queen Mother, to tell Niangniang this matter slowly, but before I can mention it, the Queen Mother ordered me to tell Niangniang, take care of the phoenix body, take care of the emperor and grandson, is the most important." ”

"Oh-oh-" Yu Niang heard this, but calmed down, leaned on the pillow, motionless, and did not speak.

Yao Hei'er secretly raised her head, exchanged glances with Mrs. Kou, and was about to say a few words to comfort Yu Niang, only to hear Yu Niang say faintly, "The prince has passed away, the coffin has not returned, and the saint has returned to heaven again, what is wrong with this great Mu country?" ”

The voice was full of sadness, and when Yao Hei'er looked up again, two lines of tears had slid down Yu Niang's cheeks, and she heard Yu Niang say, "I am someone's daughter-in-law, and the prince is no longer alive, so I should really do my filial piety for my husband." Mother, I ordered someone to prepare filial piety clothes for me, and I want to enter the palace to guard the spirit. ”

Mrs. Kou hurriedly persuaded, "My son, you only gave birth yesterday, how can you walk around casually now, with King Ning and his wife and King Ding, that's it." ”

Yao Hei'er also hurriedly said, "Niangniang, when the courtiers came, the Queen Mother and the Queen repeatedly told the Queen Mother to take care of her body, which is the most important thing." There is Qiong'er in the palace to do her filial piety for the mother, and the queen mother and queen are much better, so the mother doesn't have to worry about it. ”

The child in the cradle, as if awakened by the arguments of the adults, made a chirping sound in his mouth, Mrs. Kou hurriedly patted him lightly a few times, the child frowned, sniffled, and fell asleep again.
