At the end of July 970, the imperial doctor said that the day of my birth was probably just a few days away, and I only felt that my body was unusually tired, and I spent more and more time in bed.

On the other side, Concubine Yuan arranged the midwife into the side hall of the Rouyi Hall early, and Sandalwood also re-moved in with gentle consent, as for Li Yu, he stayed by my side every step of the way, which made my originally nervous heart relax a little.

On the first day of August, I felt a little swollen and painful in my stomach from the morning, which lasted until the second half of the night, and then suddenly exerted force, fortunately, the fetus was small, and I gave birth to the fifth princess easily without being guilty.

"Congratulations to the emperor, the queen mother gave birth to a princess." With the cry of the child, the midwife hurriedly said hello to Li Yu, who was waiting outside the hall......

"Okay, reward, big reward......" Li Yu walked happily to my room after speaking.

It's good to be a princess, it's a princess, so you don't have to worry about carrying the burden of the world in the future.

I named her Joy, and I hope that she will have peace and joy all her life.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Li Yu issued a decree to announce to the world that the queen gave birth to five princesses, but the princess was weak, and she passed away not long after her birth, so she was given the name of the memorial princess and buried with the fourth prince Zhongxuanling.

"Why did the queen mother let the emperor announce the news of the death of the five princesses in the world?" After learning the news that I asked Li Yu to announce the fake death of the fifth princess, Sandalwood asked puzzled.

"I want to protect her," I whispered back as I watched the joy in my arms. "Since ancient times, being a princess has to lose a lot, such as freedom, love, etc., how many princesses have been locked up in this deep palace since birth, and when they grow up, they even have to think about their own marriage for the country, the reason why I don't give her the title of princess is that I don't want her to be trapped in the palace for the rest of her life."

Moreover, according to the trend of history, if the Song Kingdom really sent troops to the Tang Kingdom, then the joy of being the princess of the Tang Kingdom would naturally be unable to escape the doom.

"Niangniang is naturally right to think about it, but the slave maid didn't think of this."

"Sandalwood, do you remember the days when we were children in the Zhou Mansion, at that time we could still sneak out of the house to go shopping, and we could still hide from my father and learn martial arts from Ling Qi, that kind of free and easy life has not been there since we entered the palace......"

"Mother's ......"

"I don't know how Ling Qi is, whether he has returned to his hometown to marry a wife and have children."

"Ling Qi's martial arts are so good, I definitely don't know where in this world he is chic."

"Fortunately, you are affectionate with Gentleness, and now you can be sent out of this deep palace, which can be regarded as living up to the love that you and I grew up together." It's true, the thing about Sandalwood dying because of me in my last life has been haunting my mind.

"The slave knows that Xie Niangniang loves her, and in Sandalwood's heart, Niangniang has always been my dearest person."

"Okay, don't talk about this, I don't have anything to do now, you can pack up and go back with Imperial Doctor Wen in a few days, lest he blame me for dominating you."

"The slave maid wants to stay longer, and now that the mother has just given birth to the fifth princess, the slave maid is not at ease."

"What's not to worry about, the five princesses have their own nurses and grandmothers to take care of. It's you, too, hurry up......" I quipped as I looked at Sandalwood's belly.

"The mother is laughing with the slave again."

I called the nurse to come in and brought the joy of my sleep with me.

"Sandalwood, if I have an accident in the future, can you help me take care of Joy?"

"What are these words, you will not have any accidents, you will always watch Princess Xile grow up, and then get married and have children......"

"I mean, if you promise me, you'll help me protect my joy when the time comes." I looked into Sandalwood's eyes and said word by word.

"Well, I promise you." Seeing that I was persistent, Sandalwood finally agreed.

In fact, as early as when I was just pregnant, I asked Li Xiaoxiao to help me buy a house and land in the suburbs of Beijing, which can be regarded as planning for the child in my womb. If the Tang Kingdom and the Song Kingdom really go to war, I am afraid that no one will know that there is a fifth princess in the Tang Kingdom, and then I will be able to entrust my joy to Sandalwood unknowingly, plus the money I have saved in recent years, it will be enough for her to have a worry-free life.

There is also news outside the palace that it is a young couple who send bird's nest to Zhou's house every month, and the two run a rouge shop outside the city, and they easily do not deal with outsiders, only knowing that they moved here two years ago, and they wear veils to meet people all day long, but both of them are in good shape.

After listening to Li Xiaoxiao's description, I can probably be sure that the two people outside the palace must be Shang Wen and my sister, but I didn't expect them to be so close to me after going around and around.

"Queen Mother, do you want to go and see the little one again?"

"No, this is the end of the matter, give the spy a sum of money, and keep him away from this Kyoto from now on. Only you and I should know about it. ”

"Yes, the minion understands." After Li Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he retreated outside.

"Also, starting next month, bird's nest will be delivered as usual."

"Yes, the minion understands."

The previous obsession may have just wanted to know if the two of them were okay, but now that they are okay, it may be the best outcome not to bother.

On New Year's Day, gentle as usual into the Rouyi Hall for joy to ask for peace pulse, after everything is done, he brought me sandalwood happy event, since the last time out of the palace, sandalwood body suddenly tired, and then was found to be pregnant.

"Really?" When I heard the news that Sandalwood was pregnant, I was even happier than I was pregnant.

Then let Qiu Xiang prepare a lot of valuable medicinal herbs for Gentle to take back.

Happy is happy, troubles are also coming, now Sandalwood's identity is the princess of Song Kingdom, what if Song Country hears that the princess is pregnant and wants to send someone to come?

Sure enough, what are you afraid of, at the beginning of March, Song Guo sent someone to send a letter, Princess Yu Lian's biological mother, Concubine Li, felt sorry for her daughter, and sent her own maid to take care of her, and she will arrive in the capital of Tang Kingdom in the near future.

Marrying a maid, this means that Princess Yu Lian is an existence that Jing Xin has grown up with, if this is the case, then wouldn't Sandalwood's pretending to be Princess Yu Lian be exposed?

That night, I secretly summoned Xiao Qin to meet in Chengqian Palace, along with Li Yu.

"Princess Yu Lian still has no news at all?" Xiao Qin was solely responsible for Yu Lian's disappearance, but now two years have passed......

"The last general has been following up on this matter in private, and he has also found many Jianghu sects, but Princess Yu Lian seems to have never appeared."

"In that case, we can only gamble."

"Bet on what?" Li Yu looked at me suspiciously.

"Bet that Princess Yulian is really hiding in our Tang Kingdom."

"Please also ask the mother for advice." Xiao Qin said suspiciously.

"The concubine wants to ask the emperor for a holy decree."

I whispered my arrangement, and that night, Xiao Qin left the palace with the holy decree.
