Chapter 45: Mother's Love

Soon, the Liguo Mansion also learned the news that Hu was pregnant.

When the Duchess of Li Guo heard the news, she was overjoyed, and immediately went to the small Buddha hall in her courtyard, lit incense and bowed repeatedly.

"Amitabha, Amitabha." The Duchess knelt on the futon, clasped her hands together, and kept chanting words in her mouth.

Half a year after the eldest daughter got married, her second daughter Hu Qianqian married Jiangnan. Hu Qianqian is sensible and can be a man, and because of the support of the Liguo Mansion and her sister-in-law who is the second princess behind her, she has a good life after marrying. In the first year after she got married, she became pregnant and gave birth to a child, which was even more popular with her mother-in-law and husband.

The Duchess of Li Guo saw that the second daughter who was married far away was living a comfortable and stable life, and she was relieved a lot. However, the life of the eldest daughter who married into the palace was not very smooth, and she never succeeded in getting pregnant, but the favored side concubine Liao was pregnant in front of the eldest daughter.

The Duchess of Liguo knew that the eldest daughter was proud by nature, and the princes and concubines next to her were all from a worse background than the main concubine. The queen is interested in taking over the Liguo Mansion and the Yongchang Earl's Mansion at the same time, plus the Countess Yongchang is the youngest daughter of the eldest princess of Qinghe, Liao's family background is not inferior to her own side concubine, and she is pregnant in front of the eldest daughter, where can the eldest daughter swallow this breath.

A few days after the news of Liao's pregnancy, the eldest daughter said in the palace that she was not sick. When the Duchess of Liguo learned the news, she was very worried, and immediately handed over a sign to enter the palace to see the eldest daughter, but the eldest daughter sent her henchman Xiangdong out to spread the word, saying that she was in good health, and she just wanted to avoid the Liao family.

The Duchess of Li Guo got the news of her eldest daughter, so she restrained herself.

Fortunately, God blesses, and now the eldest daughter has finally delivered good news, and the fetal appearance has been stabilized.

On the second day, the Duchess of Li Guo immediately handed the sign into the palace again.

"The slave has seen the lady." Knowing that the Duchess of Liguo was coming, Xiangdong was ordered by the Hu family to take someone to guard the palace gate early, and greeted the Duchess of Liguo as soon as he saw him.

"Xiangdong." When Duchess Liguo saw Xiangdong, she hurriedly dragged her to ask a question. "How is the second princess in health now, it is normal to eat every day, is she fat or thin?"

"Madam, please get on the sedan chair first," Xiangdong said with a smile, holding the arm of the Duchess of Liguo and sitting down in the soft sedan chair they brought. "Everything is waiting for you to see the second princess, and when you see the face of the second princess, you will know everything, right."

"Hey, hey, hey." Duchess Liguo listened to the tone of Xiangdong's words, and it seemed that the eldest daughter was in a very good state, so she immediately put her mind at ease, sat down with peace of mind, and lifted the soft sedan chair by the attendants who carried the sedan chair.

The soft sedan chair stopped in front of the hall where the Hu family lived, and Xiangdong, who had been accompanying the side, stepped forward to lift the sedan curtain when he saw the situation, and helped the Duchess of Liguo all the way into the inner hall.

"Mother." In the inner hall, Hu Shi, who was dressed in a loose dress, saw the Duchess of Liguo, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and couldn't help but redden, and immediately got up on the table.

"You get up slowly, you get up slowly." Duchess Li Guo immediately broke free from Xiangdong's support, rushed forward in two or three steps, carefully pressed Hu Shi, who was about to get up, looked at her daughter's lower abdomen that could still be highlighted under her loose dress, and then saw her daughter's ruddy face. "Son, you are pregnant, and you must remember to slow down your movements when you sit and walk in the future."

"My daughter wrote it down, isn't it rare to see her mother, and I'm excited." Hu Shi burst into tears and said with tears in his mouth. "Mother, now that my daughter is pregnant with a child, I know that it is not easy for my mother to raise me and my sister."

"Good boy, you just know it." The Duchess of Li Guo valued this eldest daughter the most, and when she saw her crying, she hurriedly took the silk papag in her arms to wipe Hu's tears. "Don't cry. What the hell happened to you a few days ago, saying that it was just the wind and cold but you couldn't avoid people, it really scared me. ”

"Mother, don't worry, didn't I let Xiangdong pass on the message to you, saying that I was fine." Hu glanced at Xiangdong, who was standing on the side, and Xiangdong immediately led the palace maids who were waiting in the hall to retreat. "Liao, as a side concubine, should tell me about this concubine as soon as possible even if she is pregnant. But she was coy, and when she went with me to greet the queen mother, she leaked the news that she was pregnant and gave me eye medicine in front of the queen mother. The queen mother also specially left me to speak, and the meaning of the words was to let me take care of the overall situation, endure the fact that Liao's concubine was pregnant in front of me, and let me be generous, settle down and take care of Liao's until she gave birth with peace of mind. ”

"My child." Duchess Li Guo held Hu's hand and looked at her with pity. "You have suffered."

"I couldn't swallow that. Mother doesn't know that the Liao family is still looking for various reasons every day, not to ask for that. Even the Second Highness is more partial to her, Rao is that she is pregnant and can't serve the Second Highness, and she also ties the Second Highness in her own hall all day long. "Hu's indignation at that time has now turned into the gentle perseverance of being a mother, and when it comes to what Liao did at that time, his mind has calmed down." I was depressed and went to the imperial garden to relax, and I met the second princess and the king of Yujun, and I unexpectedly saw a lot. At that time, I just wanted to avoid Liao's because of my illness, let her ask for things, and give them to me as long as she wanted them, but my people didn't touch those things anymore. Who knew that the imperial doctor was invited, but he accidentally followed the words of the second princess, and found out that I was also pregnant. ”

"Here's another time." After listening to Hu's words, Duchess Li Guo felt sorry for her daughter's situation in the palace. "The second princess and King Yujun are both celebrities in front of His Majesty now, but it's a pity that the second princess is the sister of the eldest prince, and King Yujun is the eldest son of the eldest prince, so in the end, I don't agree with you, you have to be careful to contact them in the future."

"Mother, I'm no longer a child, I have a plan for this." Hu Shi laughed. "Now I don't care about anything, I just hope that my child will be born safely."

"Yes, yes, whatever you do now is not as important as your peace of mind. Then does the Liao family know that after you are pregnant, you are still safe in the palace? The two of you are close to each other, so you have to watch out for her. ”

"Mother rest assured, Liao's is not as good as me, and my current situation is very good." Hu said with a smile on the corner of his mouth. "Liao's heart is small-minded, and when he heard the news that I was pregnant, he was so angry that he turned red that day."

A few days ago, Liao unexpectedly fell red because of the news of Hu's pregnancy, and after suffering a lot of crimes, the imperial doctor managed to save the fetus in her womb.

Since then, no better than Hu's health, he can eat and sleep, and with the advice of the imperial doctor, Liao can only lie in bed all day long to protect the fetus.

Not only that, but Liao also had morning sickness every day, and the whole person was worn out and lost a lot of weight after a few days of hard work.

Liao ordered everyone in her palace to hide her news, but she could send someone to listen to Hu's news, and Hu could also hear her news.

After hearing about Liao's difficulties in protecting the fetus, Hu's situation became better and better.

After seeing that her daughter was fine, the Duchess of Li Guo was satisfied with her and told her a bunch of things, and then happily left the palace.

"Second Princess." Xiangdong stood behind Hu Shi, holding a comb to comb her waist-length black hair. "Today, the concubine sent someone to pick up things again."

"It's all up to her, she's having a hard time now, and she's still doing what I told her before. But whatever she asks for, she should have it for her, and she doesn't have to report it to me every time. Hu closed his eyes and said.

Xiao Xuan specially took King Yujun to see the Wen family today.

"Mother Concubine~~" King Yujun, who was originally obediently holding Xiao Xuan's hand, saw Wen sitting on the hall with his swaddling clothes in his arms, and immediately broke away from Xiao Xuan's hand, and pounced towards Wen with a small milk voice.

"Oh, didn't you see your mother still holding your brother?" Xiao Xuan was startled, and hurriedly squatted down to stop King Yujun. "Don't pounce, walk slowly."

"Hmm." King Yujun looked at the swaddling clothes in Wen's arms pitifully and nodded.

After sitting down, King Yujun leaned against Wen's side with attachment.

"Hurry up and serve tea to the second princess." Wen was also distressed when he saw his eldest son leaning on his side. "Thank you to my mother and sister for taking care of this child for me all this time."

"Sister-in-law, where is it?" Xiao Xuan took the teacup with a smile and said. "My sister-in-law just gave birth to a little nephew, and I don't have much energy, so I and my mother should help me."

"Brother Yu is naughty, are you tired of your mother?" Wen asked the nurse to step forward and carry her little son down, and took the shiny Yujun King and sat in his arms.

"No, my mother and I both like Brother Yu the most." Xiao Xuan said with a smile. "Usually in Yihua Palace, my mother and I are with my mother, and Brother Yu accompanies us, and my mother and I have a lot of fun."

Although Wen felt sorry for his eldest son, he also knew that King Yujun had more benefits to living in Yihua Palace.

First, Emperor Liu's concubine is still favored, and secondly, the second princess will take King Yujun to the palace every few days to accompany Emperor Chu to talk.

Wen knew that most of the eldest son's favor was with him as Emperor Chu's first grandchild, but the favor still needed to continue to be stable, and the opportunities for him to stay by his side and get in touch with Emperor Chu were really limited, but if he lived in Yihua Palace, there would be many more such opportunities.

Emperor Liu's concubine and Wen's had the same opinion on this matter, so they took advantage of the opportunity of Wen's birth of a young son and logically took King Yujun from Wen's side to Yihua Palace.

"Mother Concubine~~Mother Concubine~~~" King Yujun is only a child in his early two years old, and it is the time to be attached to his mother. He is sensible and usually takes care of him in Yihua Palace, and Xiao Xuan is also attached to Emperor Liu's concubine, but he misses his mother even more.

"Why don't I go back first and let Brother Yu stay with my sister-in-law for a while." Xiao Xuan looked at the pitiful little appearance of King Yujun and took the initiative to say. "After dinner, the eldest sister-in-law will send someone to send Brother Yu back to Yihua Palace."
