Chapter 368: Fragrance
After listening to the monk's interpretation of the dream, Yao Hua was sent to the nunnery to practice with his hair worn, and his Dharma name was empty.
Half a year ago, Yikong's master took her on a tour and came to Qingci Nunnery in the western suburbs of the capital to live temporarily. However, she found that this place was very similar to the nunnery in her dreams, so she did not follow her master to continue her travels, but stayed in Qingci Nunnery.
Unexpectedly, Yikong really met a man, and he felt that this man's eyes were particularly like the eyes of the ink dragon in his dream......
After praying for blessings, the emperor went directly to Chunhe Garden, and also took Yao Hua there, and named him Zhaoyi.
The emperor was so happy that he lived in Chunheyuan until the fifteenth day of the lunar month before returning to the palace. Because the eighteenth day was the birthday of the Queen Mother, he didn't want to go back to the palace.
The emperor left Yao Zhaoyi in Hechun Garden. Obviously, the emperor was afraid that she would be killed by Empress Dowager Qi and Concubine Qi.
also made it clear to Qi Guifei that if something happened to Yao Zhaoyi, the emperor would not look for anyone, but only Qi Guifei and the Qi family to settle accounts. Concubine Qi was so angry that she went to Cining Palace to cry with the Queen Mother.
The queen mother couldn't either, she and the Qi family first aroused the emperor's hatred, so they had to endure this breath for the time being, and then clean up the emperor's heart and then clean up that slut.
The third prince, Liu Heng, because of the emperor's anger, also complained about the incident that the Qi family did, and recruited Qi Xiantong into the palace to reprimand a few words. It is said that their methods are inferior and they use people inappropriately.
Several insiders of the Ye family were satisfied with this result. Although Yao Zhaoyi's position is not high, she is loved by the emperor, she is smart and knowledgeable, and she hates the Empress Dowager Qi and the Qi family, which will definitely help the Ye family. Also, Yao Zhaoyi wants to live a good life, not only to wait until the queen mother dies, but also to let the third prince succeed to the throne.
Only He'an was a little weak-hearted, she didn't choose what to say at that time, and her words to scold Yao Zhaoyi were really not good. While being angry that her husband was hiding herself, she was thinking about how to get along if she saw Yao Zhaoyi in the future. Mingmian must pretend not to know each other, but what should she do if she squeezes herself in private......
Qiu Li's belly was already very big, and her lower limbs were also very swollen. Her due date was within half a month, and the two midwives had already been admitted to the hospital.
It was cold and the road was slippery, and the old lady wouldn't let her go to ask for peace a few days earlier. She basically doesn't go out of the yard, or walks back and forth on the verandah, if she sits on the warm kang and does needlework.
On the morning of the eighteenth day, Mrs. Ye took her female dependents into the palace to kowtow to the Queen Mother to celebrate her birthday. After eating the royal banquet, I still have to watch a play, and I will probably come back before dinner. The congratulatory gifts prepared by the Ye family were decent, and He'an, as a "niece", also prepared a single one, including the ginseng sent by Qiu Li.
The Queen Mother was the direct murderer of Yang Pingping and the Yang family, and the indirect promoter of Yang An'an, Qiu Li hated her to death in her heart. I knew that ginseng and An would give it to her, so it was better to eat it as a pawn.
Qiu Li couldn't go because she was about to give birth, and the second grandmother Tan and the third girl Ye Zhen were not qualified to go. Because Ye Lan is He'an's daughter, she is related to the Queen Mother and is allowed to enter the palace.
After Qiu Li finished walking in the courtyard, he sat on the kang in a daze.
Dangdang, who has a big belly, went into the mountains to play with bears and sunspots two days ago. didn't let Xiaoxue go, it had no attack power, and it was squeamish, and when it encountered a beast, it not only couldn't help, but it would also drag its feet.
After a while, Qiu Li suddenly found that Xiaoxue was gone, and he couldn't find it in the courtyard. Everyone panicked, and hurriedly mobilized everyone to look for it together, and finally found it in the small Buddha hall of Fushou Hall.
Qiu Li figured it out a little. Xiaoxue ran to Fushoutang, not to find the old lady, but to smell the smell. It likes to go to Fujudo, likes to be close to the old lady, and later likes to go to the main courtyard and likes to be close to He'an. It's not that it likes those two people and those two places, it should be that it likes to smell the sandalwood there and the sandalwood fragrance on the two of them.
Qiu Li prefers agarwood and cloves, which have a slightly lighter taste, and does not like strong sandalwood, so he never lights sandalwood in the courtyard. She asked someone to take a few pieces of sandalwood and put them in the incense burner, and as the smoke drifted out, Xiaoxue ran to the incense burner and sat there quietly, occasionally sticking her nose out and sniffing.
Animals could not be kept in the temple, and Qiu Li guessed that its original owner must have liked to worship the Buddha. It's just that Xiaoxue has been here for so long, and I haven't heard of any rare dog that has been lost.
At this time, the outer courtyard came to report that General Xia Xiao led his daughter-in-law here.
Qiu Li sat up and said happily, "Please, please." "She's been waiting for people to come back.
The girl served Qiu Li and got dressed, and walked to the side room, where Xia Shan and Li Xiumin had already come in
Xia Shan grinned, Li Xiumin has changed a lot from a few years ago. I have grown taller, and I am thinner and quieter.
Qiu Li took two steps forward and took Li Xiumin's hand and smiled, "Sister Min...... Oh, no, third uncle, you're finally back, I'm looking forward to it. ”
Xia Shan laughed out loud, and Li Xiumin smiled with a red face, "Leave my sister...... Oh, no, Lili," he looked at her twice, and added, "Your belly is so big, it's about to give birth, right?" ”
Qiu Li smiled, "Well, it should be soon." ”
Xia Shan sat down on the chair, Qiu Li pulled Li Xiumin on the kang and sat down, and said with a smile, "It's cold in the north, hurry up and warm up on the kang." ”
The next man came and served tea.
Several mothers-in-law brought in many packages, including several large baskets of bacon. As soon as Qiu Li smelled it, he knew that it was made by Wang's sister-in-law. Hurry up and ask the girl to take two bacon and a few cured pork ribs to cook, she has long been hungry for this taste.
Xia Shan said with a smile, "I know that you like to eat bacon made by sister-in-law Wang, and I made you a few hundred catties, which is enough for you to eat for a winter." He pointed to those gifts again, and said which ones were sent, and the hundreds of catties of bacon were jointly given by the Zhao family, Xia Zhu's family, Xia Mei's mother's family, and the Wang family. Xia made a few sets of clothes for Qiu Li and Qiu Zhongshu, and also made a few sets for the children.
Qiu Li smiled at her clothes, and complained in her mouth, "There is a needlework room in the house, why is my mother still working so hard." "I asked people to go to Qiu Mansion to pick up Qiu Zhongshu, and then to invite Xia Erni and Wang Xin.
After reading the letter, she listened to Xia Shan and Li Xiumin talk about the people and things in their hometown.
The people in his hometown are very good, especially the old man Xia, because of the children's competition, the county lord personally protected his son, and he was in a very good mood, and his health was even better than in previous years. It's just that Mrs. Xia's health is not very good, and she doesn't even dare to go out in winter. Moreover, the old lady still seems to dislike Li Xiumin's reputation as "Kefu", which makes Li Xiumin very sad...... Peng Huozi has already opened a shop in Fucheng and accepted a few apprentices. Xia is also very good, just thinking about Qiu Li, and wiping her tears when she talks about her......
At the end of noon, Qiu Zhongshu was picked up, and he screamed and climbed into Xia Shan's arms, making him shake off a few times. Even if Qiu Zhongshu returned to his home, Qiu Jihong treated him well, he still liked Xia Shan's uncle the most, and he didn't hide it in front of his uncle.
When Xia Erni came, a few people gathered around the kang to eat.
