After greeting for a while, the nurse came in with a round drink with a small belly.

Duchess Liguo asked the nurse to come to Liuhuang Guifei with her brother in her arms, so that Liuhuang Guifei and the second princess could see her brother.

Xiao Xuan came to Concubine Liuhuang and looked at the brother wrapped in bright red swaddling clothes. Seeing that he was born white, tender and fat, but a few days of hard work has faded away from the ugly appearance of a newborn, his eyebrows are delicate and his skin is pale.

was carried by the nurse, and my brother was just full of food and drink, and he was full of energy.

Lying in swaddling clothes, he kept struggling to move, and his mouth was babbling for a while.

"Yo, look at my brother's birth." Emperor Liu's concubine leaned over to look at her brother, looked up and smiled and praised her brother to the Duchess of Liguo.

"It's rare to see such a beautiful brother."

"The imperial concubine praised it falsely." Looking at her sturdy and lively grandson, the Duchess of Li Guo was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth and said

Road. "But my brother is really sensible, and he didn't bother his mother much. From labor pains to giving birth to him, it was only three hours

of kung fu. ”

Concubine Liu Huang and Duchess Liguo are also mothers, so they naturally know that a woman has to pass through a ghost gate when she gives birth. Hu

And in three hours she gave birth to a son, and she had suffered many less. Don't tell others, just say that the second prince just gave birth to a girl

The child's side concubine Liao. She struggled for almost three days and two nights before she managed to give birth to her daughter. I heard that Liao's not only had a difficult birth, but also

The blood crash cost a life.

"The second princess and concubine have good luck, and they have the first child." Emperor Liu's concubine smiled and echoed the words of the Duchess of Liguo. "But this month is good

Sit well and take care of your body is the right way. ”

"Thank you for the reminder." Hu's wish was fulfilled, and he was not tortured during childbirth, so his complexion was too good

For a woman who has just given birth. "Second princess, hug my brother."

Hu Shi was grateful to Xiao Xuan in his heart, although it was true that she was pregnant. But it wasn't until I bumped into the Imperial Garden that day

Before Xiao Xuan, she didn't realize that she was pregnant. At that time, her fetal position was not stable, if it had not been accidental

Seeing Xiao Xuan, she got a good word. If she really blindly lets herself be depressed and patient, she is afraid that she will not give birth to a child safely

Son, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to even keep this child.

"Is that okay?" Xiao Xuan listened to Hu's words, looked up at her and asked. "I haven't held such a small baby yet, yet

Don't do it. ”

Xiao Xuan really had never held such a newborn baby, when King Yujun was born, Xiao Xuan himself was just that little year

Period. The eldest prince and his wife were relieved, but Emperor Liu's concubine was afraid that she would drop the child lightly and heavily, and she was never allowed to hold it.

It wasn't until King Yujun grew up that he let her hold it.

"It doesn't matter." Hu Shi looked at the infant child and said to Xiao Xuan with a kind smile. "This room is full of people, the nurse is on the side, and the second princess is okay to hug it."

"Well, okay." Xiao Xuan subconsciously looked at Emperor Liu's concubine, who gently bowed her head without a trace, and Xiao Xuan stood up and walked to the nurse's side.

The nurse carefully handed over the swaddling clothes to her, and taught her to adjust her posture hand-in-hand, so that she could hold her brother steadily.

Xiao Xuan hugged the swaddling clothes, only feeling that the little baby in his arms was very soft. Her body was so stiff that she let her mother play with her, and she didn't dare to move at all. Not only was he afraid that he would miss his hand and fall on his brother, but he was also afraid that his brother would cry if he was uncomfortable with her.

But he didn't expect that the brother in his arms would be honestly hugged by himself, Xiao Xuan lowered his head and smiled, just in front of his brother's dark eyes, and after a while, his brother actually laughed.

"It seems that my brother and the second princess are destined to be aunts." The Duchess of Liguo, who happened to come forward, said in surprise when she saw her brother grinning happily in her swaddling clothes. "Although my brother is good-tempered, he will only laugh when the second princess hugs him these days. Today, the second princess hugged him for the first time, and he was so obedient. ”

On the way back with Emperor Liu.

"Xuan'er." Concubine Liu looked at her daughter, who had begun to take on a girlish demeanor, and suddenly called her.

"Mother?" Xiao Xuan walked behind Emperor Liu's concubine, boredly fiddling with the jade bracelet that Duchess Liguo had put on her wrist when she left, and when she heard Emperor Liu's call to her, she answered her.

"What did you say to the Hu family before, I see that she remembers your kindness."

"It's not like I took Brother Yu to the Imperial Garden before, I saw that her face was pale and invited her to sit down." Xiao Xuan thought about it and said. At that time, Liao took the lead in spreading the news that she was pregnant, she was arrogant by nature, and her life was not easy. I just said a good word to her, and wished her good news soon. Who knew that I was actually quite smart when I spoke, but she said that she couldn't get sick after she went back, and the good news came out a month later. ”

"I see."

"Doesn't the concubine like me to associate with the Hu family?" Xiao Xuan carefully looked at Emperor Liu's face. "Speaking of which, I don't actually have much contact with her, if it weren't for the auspicious words I said, we would have met in the palace in the past just nodding."

"It's okay, I didn't mean that." Concubine Liu touched Xiao Xuan's head and said gently. "It's good that you and the Hu family have this karma, in case your eldest brother can't sit in that seat in the future, you can also have an extra guarantee."

Three months later, the sixth prince Xiao Jun got married and married Zhao Ying, the eldest daughter of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, as the main concubine.

The feast was about to open, and the Hu family sat in his hall, waiting for the side concubine Liao to come.

"Niangniang, there is still no movement on the side concubine's side." Xiangdong looked at the Hu family, who had been dressed up according to the product, and stepped forward and said. "Why don't we go over first, otherwise it's not good for such a big scene, and the first female in our palace won't show up."

"It's okay, there is still time, I can wait for Concubine Liao for a while." Now Hu's body is plump, his appearance is more and more delicate, and his waist is still slender and graceful. She took a self-portrait in the mirror and helped the golden hairpin on her head. "Xiangdong asked people to invite Concubine Liao again, if she still can't come, I won't force her to go. But she is a side concubine, if she shirks it again, I will call her sick tomorrow. She doesn't go out today, and I keep her out for the next month. ”

"Yes, sissy." Xiangdong responded. "The slave maid will order a more clever quarrel to go over to the side concubine to pass the word."

"Okay, let's go."

After that, just a moment after the little palace maid who passed the word passed, Concubine Liao came dressed up.

"Yo, Concubine Liao is here." Hu walked out with a smile, stood on the top of the steps, looked down at Liao at the bottom of the steps, and said. "I'm not coming yet."

"It's because I'm not in good shape, and my movements are a little sluggish." Concubine Liao was tortured during pregnancy and childbirth, and now that she has given birth for three months, her body has not yet been fully raised. "Please forgive your sins."

Different from the plump and delicate Hu family, Liao's body is already more slender, but now she is more like a sick beauty, weaker and weaker, and her eyes are full of tears as if she can cry at any time.

"Where is Concubine Liao?" Hu put his hand on Xiangdong's hand, went down the steps step by step, stood in front of Liao and said with a smile. "Look at this pitiful appearance, you originally lost your body in order to give birth to your sister for Your Second Highness. It's to blame that I, as a concubine, didn't take good care of you. Xiangdong, you write down, tomorrow morning, please ask the imperial doctor to come to ask for peace for Concubine Liao and sister, sister is the eldest daughter of the second highness, I will have to take care of it. ”

"The slave has written it down." Xiangdong responded loudly.

"Thank you, Second Princess." Liao Shi only felt that Hu's words were poking at her heart sentence by sentence, and she couldn't help coughing a few times.

"Alright, let's go." Hu was satisfied. "We have to go to the ceremony, be careful of missing the auspicious time."

Today, Xiao Jun got married, and Wen, who was the eldest sister-in-law, took care of the guests who entered the palace to watch the ceremony.

Emperor Liu's concubine also attended in full costume, and Xiao Xuan, who has always liked plain colors, wore colorful and luxurious princess costumes today, and accompanied Emperor Liu's side all the way.

"The imperial concubine is overjoyed." Hu found Emperor Liu's concubine and stepped forward to say hello.

"Thank you." Today's young son got married, and he married his niece with the blood of the Liu family, and the concubine of Emperor Liu was in a good mood. "Later, the feast will begin, and the second princess will have a good drink. Why didn't my brother bring it today? ”

"Recently, he has been sleeping at night, and I'm afraid that if he comes to cry, it won't be good." Hu said with a smile. "Today is the great joy of the Sixth Highness, since I have come to congratulate him, I must have asked for a few more cups of happy wine to drink."

"Well, today is a good day, and we must return with all our joy."

Hu shuttled through the crowd, laughing and chatting happily.

Standing not far away, the Liao family looked at the proud Hu family, and his heart was about to bleed with hatred.

"Side concubine, be careful." Seeing Liao's weak and shaky appearance, Nian Qiao hurriedly stepped forward to support her and asked. "Concubine Fang, anyway, the big gift has been completed. If you are really unwell, you might as well talk to the second princess and go back first. ”

"Shut up." Liao Shi looked at Nian Qiao and said. "She spreads the news that I'm not in good health everywhere on weekdays, and you still come to it?!"

"Slaves don't dare." Nian Qiao was shocked, and quickly explained in a whisper.

But Liao's health is not good, which is a well-known thing in the palace. Even if the Hu family is not in the palace, Concubine Liao in her palace is sick and weak. Who doesn't know that Liao's body was empty because of dystocia.

Originally, he could still raise his body during confinement, but Liao's narrow-mindedness made him even more annoyed when he thought of Hu's giving birth and only giving birth to a useless daughter, and his physical condition became worse and worse.

At the beginning, the second prince Xiao Zhen would come to see her and her daughter from time to time. It's just that every time the second prince comes over, he either watches Liao's tears, or listens to his daughter crying, and his patience quickly wears out.

At this time, the Hu family used the reason that he and the side concubine could not serve Xiao Zhen, and let the two good-looking palace maids around him serve him.

Now Xiao Zhen got the eldest son and got a new favorite, so he naturally left the Liao family behind.
