Chapter 360: Mid-Autumn Festival
As the labor period got closer and closer, Yan Qingge's stomach was like a melon that was about to ripen and land, and it seemed that it would fall down at any time
Now she can't stand anymore, but even if she sits and lies down, it's uncomfortable
Before she was reborn, she gave birth to two children, but none of them had such a hard time
She was tortured all day long, she didn't have the energy, she couldn't eat well, she didn't sleep well, her temper was a little irritable, she often had two patches of cyan under her eyes, and she was in pain, counting the birth days that Lang Zhong told her every day, and she couldn't wait to open her eyes the next day
Yan Xiuyu was so distressed that he couldn't wait to replace him, he didn't even go out of the house, he accompanied her in the house day and night, and all the affairs of the family were shirked by him to others, and he didn't call anything to make a noise to Yan Qingge
On the fourteenth night of the first lunar month, Yan Qingge's calf cramps and painful tears, Wang Wang Yan Xiuyu pinched her legs and feet in the middle of the night, and the couple were about to fall asleep when it was almost dawn
Yan Qingge couldn't sleep deeply, and when he heard a movement, he immediately opened his eyes and saw that it was Yan Xiuyu standing under the bed, wearing clothes lightly
Usually, the clothes that Yan Xiuyu wears at home are gorgeous in color, but they are all regular clothes, and now he is wearing a very grand dress
"Are you going out today?" asked Yan Qingge with a slight frown
She was very reluctant to let Yan Xiuyu go out at this time, she understood that she had this idea because she was selfish, but this was her Yan Xiuyu
Yan Xiuyu saw Yan Qingge's up, and smiled comfortingly at her: "It's someone from the palace who gave the edict to our house, and my brother is not at home, so naturally I'm going to listen to the edict, you can sleep for a while."
Yan Qingge buried herself in a pile of brocade quilts, nodded blankly, knowing that Yan Xiuyu didn't go out, just received a holy decree, her mood immediately improved
This night, Yan Qingge didn't know how long he had been asleep, and when he got up, he saw Yan Xiuyu sitting in front of the bed and taking a book and reading it
"When," Yan Qingge asked
"It's almost time for lunch, I'll ask someone to set the meal, do you want to eat according to breakfast or according to lunch," Yan Xiuyu looked in a good mood and teased
Yan Qingge was disgusted: "Of course it's lunch."
This is the benefit of not having in-laws, you don't have to ask anyone for peace, just close the door and live your own small life, which is really comfortable
Knowing that Yan Qingge got up, a group of maids and fish rushed in, each performing their duties, and waiting for Yan Qingge to get up
Ruyi didn't have to do these jobs to serve Yan Qingge for a long time, she stood next to her with a red face, and her eyes looked at Yan Qingge with a pair of eyes as if she was about to drip
Yan Qingge noticed Ruyi's strange appearance and asked, "Ruyi, what's wrong with you?"
plopped and knelt down
"Miss Ruyi...... Wishful...... The holy decree in the morning was the queen's mother, and she said that she would give Ruyi a marriage," Ruyi said
Yan Qingge's heart was tight, and many people knew what it meant for the queen to give Ruyi a marriage at this juncture
Ruyi saw that Yan Qingge's face was not good, and hurriedly said: "The person who gave me the marriage of the queen mother is Cao Gongzi."
Yan Qingge was very wary of the queen, but he was surprised when he heard this answer, it was really strange that the queen would do such a smooth thing
Sure enough, the next Ruyi words confirmed that Yan Qingge's distrust of the queen was not untargeted
"It's just that the queen mother set a wedding date for us on August 23," Ruyi said
"It's so tight," Yan Qingge slapped the table and said unhappily
The Cao family has just purchased a new house, and the furniture for marriage has not yet been completed, and the dowry on Ruyi's side, Yan Qingge, has just begun to clean up, and it is still early to finish cleaning up
How can it be so simple to prepare for a wedding, and there are only so many days left until August 23rd, where can there be time?
Seeing that Yan Qingge was angry, he hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry, eldest lady, the queen mother said that my marriage will be handled by the Ministry of Rites, in order to encourage me to be a role model for the world when I and Cao Gongzi were in Qingzhou."
If the Ministry of Rites intervenes, this marriage can really be prepared in a short period of time, but the cost is relatively high
Yan Qingge always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was going on for a while
Yan Xiuyu saw her with a thoughtful and meditative expression, and hurriedly came to her, hugged her arm, shook it, and said, "Qingge, this is a good thing."
Yan Qingge pinched her fingers, counted it, and vaguely guessed the day she gave birth, according to Lang Zhong, who showed her body, it was only three days before and after the fifth day of the ninth month, and the queen just chose to marry Ruyi on August 23, and when she returned to the door, she was just busy with Ruyi, and Yan Qingge should give birth
Could it be that the queen thought that Yan Qingge would do everything herself, and then she was very busy, which in turn affected the fertility
The queen really thinks too simply
But it's a lot like her style
Seeing Yan Qingge for a while, he suddenly smiled lightly for a while, and Yan Xiuyu said curiously: "What's wrong with Sister Qingge?"
Yan Qingge smiled and shook his head: "I won't tell you"
Ruyi is here, she will definitely not say this, Ruyi marrying is a good thing, even if the queen takes this opportunity to disgust her, she will not embarrass Ruyi
The news of the marriage of the Holy Decree spread quickly throughout the Yanwang Mansion as if it had been planted with wings
All the maids and mothers-in-law looked at Ruyi with envy
Yan Qingge and Ruyi, the master and servant, have become a myth in their hearts
What a glory it is that not only the master was given marriage by the Holy Lord, but also the servant was given in marriage
And I heard that Ruyi was sold into the Yan family as a slave back then, and she didn't even know where her parents and hometown were, and this kind of background is more than the wife who was married by the holy decree and became an official, and now it is really jealous
This may be a person who has attained the Tao and ascended to heaven
Just when Yan Qingge didn't notice it, the people around her who served her served her more and more delicately, and they became loyal one by one, and they might be able to mix with Ruyi in the future
No matter how shocking this incident is, the Mid-Autumn Festival will still be celebrated on August 15
On the evening of the fifteenth, Prince Yan also returned, and the family of five enjoyed the moon and drank together, which was very pleasant
At this time, there was no atmosphere of feasting in the palace
August 15 was supposed to be led by the empress and emperor to hold a banquet and feast all the nobles in the palace, but this year there seems to be no movement
Only a small table of banquets was set up in the Fengzao Palace
There were only a few people seated, only the queen and the crown prince sat facing each other, and on the empty seat on the other side there were ivory chopsticks and marigolds, but no one sit
The queen and the crown prince looked at each other in silence, as if the other had nothing to say
It took a long time for the queen to raise her glass and say to the prince: "Mourn the family and respect the prince, a cup" After speaking, she raised her head and drank the wine
The dim light shone on the queen's sideburns, and there was a faint silver thread that pierced the prince's eyes
The prince raised the honey wine and drank it and asked, "Don't you go out to enjoy the moonlight, the queen mother, the moonlight is very beautiful today?"
"If you don't go to the imperial garden, there must already be a lot of palace people feasting and drinking, and what is the point of going to the mourning family like this," the queen seemed to be full of sorrow, shaking her head at the prince, and her eyes, which had begun to be cloudy, revealed the numbness unique to the elderly
The prince looked at the queen and finally stood up and said: "Since the queen mother is not interested, I will accompany the queen mother to sit with the queen mother and sit on the queen mother, we haven't gotten along like this for a long time."
The queen didn't expect the prince to say such a thing to herself, and the light in her eyes flashed: "The last time our mother and son got along like this seemed to be in six or seven years."
Six or seven years ago, the crown prince was just twenty years old, and he was quite obedient to the queen
But now the young man sitting in front of the queen had blue marks on his chin, and his young face revealed that Lao Cheng was already an adult who could take charge on his own and have his son around him
"Time urges people to get old" The queen sighed: "The prince mourns and doesn't know how many years he can live"
"Don't say discouraged words about the queen mother"
"The world after the Prince's Great Zhou is yours," the queen pointed meaningfully, sighed at the prince, and her eyes were full of sadness
The prince didn't seem to know what the queen was talking about, poured another glass of wine, picked up the full wine cup and handed it to the queen: "Queen Mother, drink another glass."
The queen took the wine and was about to enter, and a cyan corner flashed at the door, Bi Xiang walked in, knelt on the ground, and whispered: "The queen, Her Royal Highness the Prince, is only outside to ask to see her."
A hint of annoyance flashed across the queen's brows, but the prince remained motionless
The queen put down the wine glass in her hand, and there was still a faint liquor on her lips
"Tell her to go back," said the queen displeased
"Slow," the prince suddenly opened his mouth and called out to Bi Xiang, who was about to leave
"Let her come in and see her," said the prince
"Prince, you ......" The queen suddenly didn't know what the prince wanted to do, although this beloved person has been serving the emperor in the Heart Cultivation Palace, but he was the prince's woman not long ago
What did the prince think, didn't he know how to avoid suspicion if he wanted to see this woman, or was that woman's charm so great
Or maybe this woman was originally a chess piece in the prince's hand
The queen shuddered at the thought of the last one and looked at the prince with a look of fear in her eyes
She was really afraid of this son
