When she woke up in the morning, Meng Xilan heard a burst of chirping birds outside, so she asked what was wrong.

Baozhu thought that Niangniang liked to be quiet, and was disturbed by the sound of birdsong, so she hurriedly told the little palace maid to take a broom and go outside to catch up.

Meng Xilan said: "It sounds like a fledgling, let them look carefully on the ground." ”

At this time, it is time to nurse the chicks, and perhaps some chicks have fallen from their nests in the trees.

Baozhu personally led people to look for it, and sure enough, he found a weak bird. It looks like he was just born, and his fluffy body is wet with rain, and he can only mourn and scream.

Baozhu wrapped the bird in a handkerchief and sent it to Niangniang: "Niangniang, it's this little guy who disturbs Niangniang's rest." ”

Meng Xilan listened attentively, and only said, "Look at it, it's really pitiful." Hurry up and find a little eunuch who can climb a tree and let them put it back. ”

Such a poor little thing, without his parents, I am afraid that it will be difficult to live for a day.

The little eunuch outside brought a wooden ladder and searched for a long time, but he didn't find a bird's nest, but there was an empty nest.

When Meng Xilan heard this, she couldn't help but sigh: "Its parents must have flown away." ”

Baozhu held the mournful chirping bird, and said helplessly: "It's so ruthless, why did you fly away like this?" ”

Meng Xilan lowered her eyes: "The nestling leaves the nest, it is powerless and weak, even its parents are helpless!" I can only give up ......"

Who can be indifferent to the sacrifice of their own flesh and blood? Even if it is a bird, it must be sad to stand on the branch for a long time.

Nothing is easy in this world, and life is especially not easy.

"Mother, what should I do with this little guy?"

Meng Xilan thought for a moment: "Give it to the princess." ”

The child is careful, and if it is handed over to her, she will take care of it.

"Yes, the slave will go and send it to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

The birdsong outside the window was gone, but Meng Xilan could feel the warm touch of the sun shining on her cheeks.

After a while, Song Qing'er came to say goodbye, and saw her sitting in front of the window, bathed in the sun, shining, and looking not sick at all.

Song Qing'er stood at the door, bowed her head and wiped her tears, wondering how uncomfortable she was.

She just learned the news that her mother's time is short, and she is stuffy in her heart, and she doesn't know what to do.

Song Qing'er shed a few tears, then quickly stopped, cleared her throat and said, "Niangniang, the concubine is here." ”

Meng Xilan said "um": "You're here, sit down." ”

Song Qing'er walked over slowly, sat down beside her, and said quietly: "Niangniang, how do you feel today?" ”

"It's still like that, lazy, lacklustre."

Song Qing'er bit her lower lip hard when she heard this, and her eyes were red.

Meng Xilan couldn't see her expression, but by listening to her breathing, she knew that she was holding back tears.

"What are you crying about now? Now is not the time to cry. ”

"Niangniang......" Song Qing'er pleaded in a trembling voice: "Don't say such things, it's all bad for concubines!" ”

Meng Xilan waved her hand: "You don't have to be so trembling, this palace is not afraid, what are you afraid of?" ”

Now she lives every day peacefully.

Song Qing'er silently stopped her tears, then resumed her usual tone and chatted with Meng Xilan for a few words.

"In the past, the concubines only felt that Xikang Palace was deserted and remote, but now that they live in, they know that it is really comfortable here."

Meng Xilan nodded when she heard this: "This palace likes it very much, as long as you live comfortably." ”

After another while, the smell of medicine wafted from outside the hall.

Song Qing'er smelled this bitter smell, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Today's Meng Xilan, three meals a day, seems to have been replaced with a decoction!

But even so, her body is still getting worse. She was getting thinner and thinner, skinny, her cheeks were slightly sunken, and she couldn't even carry a jade bracelet on her slender wrist.

In order to treat her, Jiao Changqing was also haggard and tired, and he didn't sleep almost every day, just squinting for an hour or two.

However, he didn't forget to make some gadgets for Meng Xilan to make her happy.

After checking the pulse, Jiao Changqing took out a small box from his arms, then brought it to Meng Xilan and opened it gently.

The strong floral fragrance instantly comes to the nose.

"What smells so good?" The tip of Meng Xilan's nose moved slightly, only to feel that this fragrance was very familiar.

"Niangniang, this is a moisturizer made of Tianshan Snow Lotus."

He made it himself.

Meng Xilan chuckled when she heard this: "This palace is full of people of this age, wouldn't it be a waste to use these exquisite things!" ”

Jiao Changqing used the tip of his index finger to lightly dip a little, and then smeared it on her face.

"Niangniang will not be old, Weichen wants to let Niangniang stay young forever."

This is the only bit of selfishness he has. He wanted her to always be as beautiful as when she entered the palace at the beginning of that year.

Usually Baozhu waits for her to dress up, but now that Jiao Changqing has changed, Meng Xilan did not feel any discomfort, but just sat quietly.

"How is the Emperor today? How delicious is the rice? ”

"Your Highness is well."

Zhou Youchen now eats well, sleeps soundly, and lives comfortably. Where is she who suffers from illness every day?

His gaze swept over the table, only to see needles and threads and fabrics.

Jiao Changqing's eyebrows moved slightly: "Why are the palace people so careless?" The mother's eye disease is inconvenient, and they still leave the needle and thread here. ”

Meng Xilan smiled faintly when she heard this: "That's for this palace." ”

"What?" Jiao Changqing's voice raised slightly.

"The child in the queen's womb is about to be born, and the palace wants to make a small coat for him."

When Jiao Changqing heard this, he only felt that she was deliberately reckless.

"Niangniang can't see anything, how can I thread the needle?"

Meng Xilan said lightly: "Isn't there still a treasure bead around this palace?" Someone can help you. After the child is born, what else can Hongu do for him? ”

A thoughtful piece of clothing, worn on her body to accompany him day and night, this is the best gift she can think of.

Jiao Changqing was silent when he heard this. When the prince is born, it is estimated that it will be the end of April. Then...... She was afraid that she didn't even have the strength to get out of bed.

"Don't always tell this palace that you can't do this, you can't do that! Like a stereotypical master. Meng Xilan was in a good mood, and her tone was slightly joking.

"If you want to do it, do it. Wechen doesn't stop it. ”

So far, he has only connived at her, and has no more compulsions.

……

After the queen mother left the palace, the big and small things in the palace fell on the queen's shoulders again.

She was already sensitive and irritable when she was pregnant, and now she has to take care of things, and her temper will inevitably become more and more irritable, and she will reprimand people, and she will be sharp and ruthless.

Xiao Chunzi, as the head of the Internal Affairs Office, is an old man in front of the emperor. In front of the Queen Mother, he is embarrassed, but in front of the queen, he is trained every day.

Xiao Chunzi held back her anger, and every time she came out of Kunning Palace, she was disgraced.

Shen Dan had a good relationship with him, and when he saw that he had a gray face again, he said, "Father-in-law Chun, the emperor is discussing with several ministers." It's better not to go in with your expression. ”

Koharuko clasped her hands, nodded, and went to the porch to sigh.

"Father-in-law Chun, what's wrong with you?" Shen Dan wanted to go down and rest for a while, but when he saw his expression, he couldn't walk after a pause.

"Miss Shen, don't mention it...... It's not because of Kunning Palace. ”

Shen Dan's heart moved slightly when he heard this.

It's not the first time she has heard of the palace people's complaints about the queen's mother.

"Why should my father-in-law mind? Niangniang is now pregnant, and it is inevitable that she will be anxious! ”

Xiao Chunzi said honestly because she was the emperor's intimate person: "Hmph, there are many women who will give birth to children in this world, but not everyone can toss people like this!" Even if you are pregnant with the imperial heir, you shouldn't be so embarrassed for us! The queen is amazing, but the most amazing person in this palace is the emperor! ”

After complaining a few words, he looked at Shen Dan again, and said in a deep tone: "Miss Shen, the queen is so arrogant and domineering, you have to be more careful in the days to come." She hasn't given birth to a prince yet, and if she is really born, there will be more ways to toss! ”

Shen Dan knew his kindness, but just nodded, but didn't answer.

She turned her back and pursed her lips and snickered.

In fact, these days, the emperor stays in the Palace of Nourishing Heart almost every night, and occasionally goes to sit with Hua Concubine and Xian Concubine, but never sleeps overnight.

Shen Dan's heart was already very satisfied, however, the most important thing was that since the day the Queen Mother left the palace, the emperor had cut off her child-avoiding decoction.

Now she is full of favors and may be pregnant with the imperial heir at any time.

Half a month later, when Xie Zhenzhen got up in the morning, she accidentally fell because her feet were weak.

This fall, as a result, accidentally moved the tire gas.

Xie Zhenzhen is about to give birth, and a heart hangs all over the palace.

The inner hall was noisy, and Changsheng had a faint headache when he heard it, and he kept pressing his forehead with his hand, waiting anxiously.

This is his first child, and he attaches great importance to it.

I don't know how long it took, the shouting in the inner hall gradually stopped, and Xie Zhenzhen couldn't shout anymore.

Changsheng also couldn't sit still, turned his hands behind his back, and kept walking around the inner hall.

Suddenly, a faint cry of a baby was heard in my ears.

Changsheng was stunned on the spot, and for a moment everyone's eyes turned to the curtain leading to the inner hall.

The baby's crying soon stopped. Suddenly, there was another cry of despair: "No! ”

Changsheng immediately frowned, thinking that something had happened.

Just as he was about to step forward, he saw that Mama Neigong walked out with a small swaddling baby.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, the mother gave birth to a princess for the emperor!"

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!" Everyone responded and knelt down in unison.

Changsheng was slightly stunned before he reacted.

He stepped forward and looked at the baby in his mother's arms, only to see that she was wrinkled, pink and tender, not at all as cute as he imagined, but distressing.

Changsheng took a deep breath and asked, "How is the Empress?" ”

Mama hesitated for a moment before replying: "Niangniang was weak after giving birth, and she was a little frightened, so she ...... I fainted. Imperial Physician Wang is taking the pulse and says that it is fine......"

"What?" Changsheng's face changed: "How could the queen be frightened? ”

"This ...... Old slave ......"

She really couldn't say why.

As soon as the queen mother heard that it was a girl, her face changed instantly, and she fainted after shouting. To put it bluntly, the queen didn't expect that she would give birth to a daughter.

"You don't have to hide it, tell the truth!" Changsheng commanded coldly.

"Back to the emperor, Niangniang didn't seem to expect to give birth to a princess, so she ......" In desperation, they told the truth.

Hearing this, Changsheng's eyes changed faintly, and then he hooked his lips and sneered.

"Stand down, and take good care of the princess."

"Yes......" everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Changsheng settled down, sat in the outer hall for a while, and after the imperial physician came out, he asked a few words, and saw that Xie Zhenzhen was safe, so he went back to the Heart Cultivation Hall first.

The news of the queen's birth soon spread throughout the harem.

Zhou Yan'er didn't sleep well all night last night, and after learning the news, she was completely relieved.

She lay on the couch, sighed softly, and then couldn't help but laugh again.

Sun Yuyun hurried over, and when she saw that she was still lying in her clothes, she hurriedly said, "Sister, it's time for us to clean up, we have to go and say hello to my mother." ”

Zhou Yan'er sat up unhurriedly when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Daoxi? We should say hello to the emperor, as for the queen...... This princess may not be a joy to her! ”

The queen's careful thoughts, no one in the palace knows, no one knows. She was looking forward to giving birth to a prince, but she waited for the princess! conceived in October, full of thoughts, just like that, she should hate to death in her heart.

Sun Yuyun pondered for a moment before saying, "It's better than nothing." In the end, it is the eldest princess, it is the blood of the emperor, I am very envious! ”

Zhou Yan'er just chuckled when she heard this, and then lay down lazily.

"You don't have to be in such a hurry, and let our queen mother relax, it's not too late for us to go again."

After she said this, she closed her eyes, and the smile on her lips deepened.

People are not as good as heaven! Xie Zhenzhen, Xie Zhenzhen, God has already given you a chance, but unfortunately you didn't catch it, you missed it in vain! In the future, you will never have such good fortune again!

At this time, Gao Fuli was waiting for the emperor to come back with Shen Dan in the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Gao Fuli is waiting here, firstly, to say hello to the emperor, and secondly, to take a look at the newborn princess.

After seeing the princess, he wanted to go to the palace to congratulate the mother in person.

At this moment, Shen Dan grabbed his sleeves with both hands, and his expression was slightly anxious.

Gao Fuli turned his eyes to look at her: "Girl, what's wrong?" ”

Shen Dan was in a trance for a moment, and then smiled and said, "It's nothing, the slave is just a little nervous." ”

Gao Fuli glanced at her meaningfully when he heard this: "Girl, don't be nervous. Today, the queen failed to give birth to the prince, which is a pity for the emperor, but for the girl, it is an opportunity! ”

Opportunity? Shen Dan was slightly startled when he heard this: "Father-in-law Gao, who are you?" ”

Did he know something? Or do you see something?

"The girl doesn't have to be nervous, the miscellaneous family said this not to scare the girl! After all, the girl's decoction has been stopped for a month, and maybe soon, there will be good news for your stomach! ”
