He An took Brother Jin, who ran over, into his arms and kissed him hard. Ye Lan hugged her arm and sprinkled coquettishly, making her smile two points brighter.

She looked at Qiu Li's belly and said, "This time, my belly is a little round, and I want to give birth to a girl." He said, "The girl is good, it's my mother's little padded jacket." I can see that only sons and daughters are women's great reliance and comfort. ”

Liu Changzhao said hurtfully, "Auntie, I am also your dependent." ”

He An smiled, "Yes, yes, your nephew is as good as my children." ”

He'an's mental outlook was much better than when he left Yefu. Some people will be devastated after being hit, their mentality will be distorted, and their personality will change drastically. And He'an's change is positive, not only because she has let go of the past, but also because her relatives care about him.

Everyone had dinner in the Fengju Courtyard before leaving, and the brocade box that Ye Guogong asked Ye Feng to bring was brought back again.

Qiu Li's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and in a blink of an eye, she slipped to Layue, and at the end of last month, she took the midwife into the house.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Liang sent people to send the New Year's gifts of the Ye Mansion, the Xia Mansion, and the Wang family directly to the Ye Mansion, including the New Year's gifts of several other relatives in Xiangjiang, which were sent together, a full dozen cars. Moreover, Xia Daxiong also followed.

Da Xiong was led directly into the courtyard, and after giving Qiu Li a look, he smiled shyly, "Hehe, cousin." "I don't know where to put my nervous hands and feet.

He was fourteen years old, tall, dark and strong, but the childishness on his face showed that he was still a half-grown man. He came this time because Xia Shan helped him find something to do, and he worked as a craftsman in the weapons supervision under the Ministry of Labor.

Xia Shan did not go through Ye Feng and Qiu Li, and directly found Ye Wen, who was working in the weapons supervision of the Ministry of Industry. One is that there are people in the court who are good officials, and Da Xiong may be able to become a small official if he does a good job. The other is to let the big bear be influenced by Xia Tie and his family, and be a good man. Sanbao was also asked by Zhao Liang to go to the county school to study, and his grades were average. Xia Laohan hopes that he can be a child and find a relationship to be a small official or something in the future.

Qiu Li hurriedly asked people to send letters to Xia Shan and Xia Erni and his wife, and asked them to clean up the wine and food.

Big Bear probably talked about the situation in his hometown. Thanks to Qiu Li, Xia's and Xia Shan's blessings, the lives of the relatives are getting better and better. Especially Mrs. Xia, who became the wife of the Decree, is the envy of everyone in her hometown. Xia Laohan's health is okay, except for enjoying happiness, he is staring at his son, daughter-in-law, and in-laws, and they are not allowed to do bad things with their own power. Xia Zhu moved to Hanjiang Mansion to sell meat again, Xia Dani's man became a lieutenant from Liupin, Erhu's grades were very good, and the whole family hoped that he could take the imperial examination and enter the office. Peng Huozi's fame is getting bigger and bigger, and Peng Laifu has married a good family......

In the evening, Qiu Liliu Xia Shan and Xia Erni and his wife had dinner in the courtyard, and Xia Daxiong lived in Xia Erni's house for a period of time, and then went to work after the year.

At night, Qiu Li suddenly had a seizure. This time the birth was relatively easy, and after two hours of labor pain, the child was born smoothly. It's really a cute girl, six pounds and three taels.

The name Ye Feng has already been chosen, if it is a girl, it will be called Ye Qi, Sister Qi.

As soon as Ye Feng got the news, he hurried back, and he was so happy that he hugged his daughter and didn't let go. Brother Jin prefers to look at his sister on tiptoe.

The old man, the old lady, and Ye Guogong hope to add another grandson, although they are a little regretful, but they all like it when they see the beautiful little milk baby. Especially Ye Guogong, this kid looks more like Ye Feng, that is, more like He'an, it's really good-looking.

The next morning, He'an suddenly returned to Yefu, and she went directly to the courtyard. In the morning, I received a letter from Qiu Lisheng that she gave birth to a daughter, and said that the granddaughter looked like her. She wanted to see her granddaughter think so badly, but she couldn't bear it until the next day, so she had to be cheeky.

Ye Feng was extremely happy, and personally handed Sister Qi into He'an's arms, and quipped, "My daughter's face is big." ”

He An held the child and teased for a while, handed over a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets, a red gold Qibao Yingluo ring, and a red envelope containing two or two thousand silver tickets to Qiu Li, and got up and left.

On the eleventh day of the lunar month, it was Sister Qi's washing banquet, the Ye family was beaming, everything was ready, and they were waiting for the guests to come to the door, when they received a letter from the palace, and the emperor died.

Then, the death knell sounded everywhere.

The crowd was taken aback. Although the emperor's health has always been bad, he is not like a dying person. Ye Guogong and Ye Feng hurriedly changed into plain clothes and went out to inquire about the news. The red silk lanterns were also removed from the house, and the master and his subordinates all changed into plain clothes.

Qiu Li is confined, and there is no need to go into the palace to cry and mourn. It's just that they can't eat meat for three months, and Sister Qi'er's nurse can't eat nutritious and milky meat such as pig's trotters and crucian carp, so they have to let them drink more cow and goat milk, and eat more eggs and mushrooms.

Qiu Li got some inside information one after another, saying that the emperor worked hard day and night, and was still criticizing excerpts in the early morning, and suddenly died of a violent illness. The crown prince succeeded to the throne smoothly, and the enthronement ceremony was held twenty-seven days later......

However, four days later, Ye Feng went home and whispered to Qiu Li that the emperor died in Concubine Yaozhuang at night...... No, now I want to talk about Concubine Yao, who died in Concubine Yao's Muxi Palace, or died on Concubine Yao's belly.

Of course, this matter can't be spread, the queen mother has been dead for less than a year, and the matter of Yu Guo and filial piety will affect the glorious image of the first emperor. Moreover, if it is spread out, Concubine Yao will be a demon concubine, and it will be good to give her a three-foot white silk.

The prince has always been grateful to Concubine Yao for her secret help and suppressed this matter. also specially talked to Ye Guogong and Ye Feng, and after sending the body of the first emperor to the imperial tomb, he would let King An recognize Concubine Yao as his mother, and Concubine Yao would also go out of the palace to live in King An's mansion, and said that this was the meaning of the first emperor before his death.

Qiu Li was startled and said, "I thought that the biggest advantage of my sister-in-law marrying King An was that there was no mother-in-law on it. Concubine Yao is still young, and she has a gap with her mother-in-law, so my sister-in-law's life may not be easy in the future. ”

Ye Feng said, "Concubine Yao has come to this point in such a difficult situation, not only has she always been favored by the emperor, but also valued by the prince, she is an extremely smart person. What to do is beneficial to her, she knows it, and naturally she will not have a gap with the Ye family. Moreover, she and King An are not their own mother and son, and there is such a big secret pressing on her head, she doesn't dare even if she wants to rub her little sister. He added, "Don't let my mother know about this for the time being." ”

Qiu Li nodded in agreement. No matter how you look at Concubine Yao's appearance and temperament, she is out of line with the demon concubine, but she really deserves the title of "a generation of demon concubines" for a few things she has done. Fortunately, she did not bewitch the first emperor to bring disaster to the people of the country, but was used by the new emperor and the Ye family to attack the Empress Dowager Qi and the Qi family.

Qiu Li whispered, "The crown prince has no relationship with the first emperor, the first emperor died like this, maybe the prince will thank Concubine Yao in his heart." ”
