Chapter Eighty-Three

Wake up in the middle of the night. I got up and walked to the child's cradle. Traditionally, the child should be cared for by a nursing mother. But how can I be reluctant to let my children not be with me? Looking at his sleeping appearance, my heart warmed a little. Gently shook it twice. lovingly caressing the child's pink porcelain face. Silently in my heart: This is the child I tried my best to protect. Between his eyebrows and eyes, he looks so much like Brother Lu.

I remembered the day I leaned against the window and gossiped. Brother Lu asked me when it was our return date. I'm smiling. The voice is like a warbler: sad things don't want to think about anymore. Hurry up and let it pass. He shook his head and thought: "The past is not all past. Some of the past. Forever in your heart.

I silently lit a stick of incense alone. The delicate sandalwood fragrance enters the nose. I folded my hands and closed my eyes and murmured, "Avalokiteshvara. Can you hear this bloody plea in the Forbidden City's Qiancui Garden? The Buddha said that all feelings are wishing. So where is the sealing?"

It's just dawn. The palace gate of Xianfu Palace has just opened. Yongyan had already appeared at the door. Deftly pushed open the door. I hurriedly got up, rubbed my worried eyes and said, "Your Majesty. Why did you come here so early?"

Yongyan went straight to the cradle. Carefully pick up the sleeping child. Use the vicissitudes of life to touch the child's paper-thin face. He said happily, "I can't wait to see him. Hehe. My little brother."

Yongyan turned around and couldn't hide the joy on his face. Look at me with pity: "Yujue. You have to give me a good rest. When you are out of the confinement period, I will hold a feast to celebrate our seventh elder brother."

He was silent when he saw me. Thought I had something on my mind. Then he said slowly: "Yu Jue is resentful that I didn't stay by your side on the day you gave birth. If the concubine returned to the palace on the day she desperately protected me. I feel ashamed."

I lowered my eyebrows and smiled lightly. His eyes glanced at the banana leaves outside the window. I don't know when it grew so tall. I said lightly: "The emperor has said it. The emperor is a man of temperament. For example, the concubine fought desperately to save the saint that day. If the emperor doesn't go to visit Rufei. The concubines will feel that the emperor is a little ruthless."

Yongyan caressed my drooping hair lovingly." You're so sensible and cute. What more could I ask for from you by my side?"

I smiled and avoided his palm. Suddenly, he remembered something and said, "Does the emperor know that he has forgotten an important matter? Our Seventh Elder Brother doesn't have a name yet."

He seemed to be expecting it. He picked up the dragon robe and sat on the pear wood chair. Spread out the notes on the table. The paper is delicate. It is embedded with the petals of lilies and roses. It reveals a shallow imprint and a faint aroma. Yongyan picked up the pen and wrote a word on it and picked it up with a smile. I fixed my eyes on it. Then he said: "It's a '忯' word"

The fragrance of pear blossoms burning in the purple jade incense burner filled every corner of the house. Yongyan smiled: "This word '忯' has the meaning of respect and love. I hope that our seventh elder brother will be as filial and merciful as his name in the future."

"Mian Chen. Mian Xin. Good name." I muttered in a low voice. I am very appreciative in my heart.

A few kind coughs. A shrill voice: "The Queen Mother has arrived." I looked at the door with Yongyan. The Queen Mother and a smile appeared in front of her. I then got up and saluted: "The concubine wishes the Queen Mother all the blessings and peace."

The Queen Mother waved her hand kindly. The royal blue accent on the sleeve is looming. The auspicious wishful hairpin on the head is particularly bright. It seems more and more joyful that the whole person is beaming. The Queen Mother sat down. The eyebrows did not leave for a moment. Take off your armor and take the baby from the nurse's hand. Said with a smile: "A trance just now. The mourning family thought they saw the emperor when he was a child. Look at how much this little mouth and little nose looks like an emperor."

Yongyan and the Queen Mother smiled lightly. The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren look so harmonious. If there is no resentment. I don't think the Queen Mother will ever come to my Qiancui Garden. If the child is held by Mianxi's biological Amma and grandmother. What a blessing that would be.

Look at the two. It occurred to me in my heart. Maybe this Brother Lu looked like this when he was a child. Thinking about it, I secretly smiled. Heaven is always fair. Bestows a person with happiness that is the envy of all. It was just trying to make the person hurt more.

If everything is normal. I am Brother Lu's wife. I'll embroider a little tiger shoe with a happy belly. I'll laugh out loud all the time. Scared Brother Lu out. I'll cover my mouth and turn my head away in embarrassment. But even the back should ripple with happiness and joy in the air. He would smile and ask me: I like children like this. I'll turn my face over. Sweetly said: Because I can see what you looked like when you were a child. I went on to add that if you educate your son later. Your son is arguing with you. I will definitely be on your side.

I'm thinking happily. The corners of the mouth unconsciously lifted. The Queen Mother pursed her lips and smiled: "Jin agreed. This time you gave birth to the Seventh Elder Brother. Yu Qing's imperial heir followed up with merit. The mourners will reward you."

I bowed my head unhurriedly and thanked him. The Queen Mother's arm was gently raised. Mama Xu behind her smiled and handed over a brocade box. When Mama Xu opened the brocade box, it turned out to be a toad-shaped cyan jade. I looked at this somewhat ugly Qingmiaoyu in amazement.

The Queen Mother saw the incomprehension in my eyes. Then he said majestically: "Promise, don't underestimate this piece of jade. This is a rare treasure in the world. This piece of spirit toad green seedling jade has the effect of avoiding poison and detecting drugs. When poisoned, it will turn into inky jade."

I nodded in thanks. There is still a certain reason for the Queen Mother to send this thing. She is the battle-hardened queen mother in the harem. Sending this thing is nothing more than a way for me to take precautions. Moreover, it is also for her royal grandson to grow up smoothly.

The Queen Mother suddenly seemed to remember something. He looked at Yongyan and said, "The mourning family remembered that when he returned to the palace that day, the emperor was assassinated by the White Lotus Sect. Such a concubine is so loyal to the Savior. The emperor shouldn't give Concubine Ru some rewards."

Yongyan said with a smile: "The emperor just doesn't say it. Erchen also thought of it. The son intends to be promoted to the position of concubine. Named a concubine."

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction. Yongyan glanced at me. After a pause, he said, "Jin promised to give birth to the seventh elder brother for his son. It stands to reason that I should be promoted to her position. Let's be named a noble person for the time being."

The Queen Mother nodded and did not reply. My eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of the two mandarin ducks on the bedding on the couch, which were embroidered extremely delicately. I don't know which embroiderer in the palace did it. When embroidering, do you have a yearning for love? If it weren't for the fine stitches, how would it be so fine. If she knew all about me by the time. Will you still have the heart to complete this picture of love?

The room was so quiet that you could hear your own heartbeat. From time to time, there is a childish sound of "babbling".
