In the Taiji Palace, Yuan Hong wore a crown of heaven, dressed in a dark robe, and sat with his back to the north.

The crown prince Yuan got the emperor's decree and relieved his grounding order, and got up in the morning to enter the palace with his left and right children.

Empress Feng stood in the middle of the main hall, and Yuan Sui stood half a step behind her on the right side. Behind Feng are the left and right Zhaoyi, the two wives, the concubines and the wives, behind Yuan Sui are the princes and princesses, and the left and right widows are listed in the last position.

Everyone bowed to the emperor three times and bowed nine times, and then blessed and prayed in unison, which was not to be elaborated.

After all the ceremonies, Yuan Hong looked around at everyone and said loudly: "Luoyang is the root of China in Kyushu. In the spring of the old year, I moved the capital to Luoyang, but I did not introduce you to see the grandeur of Luoyang City. Therefore, this year's Shangyuan Lantern Festival, I have been in charge of the Ye Department to make palace lanterns, and ordered Zuo Shangda to make floats, hanging palace lanterns in the palace city, Shangyuan Festival on the day of the festival can take the float out of the palace parade, to watch the prosperity of Luoyang City. ”

To Luoyang City for more than half a year, the palace has no chance to go out, although the Luoyang Palace is extremely luxurious, everyone can't help but have regrets. At this time, hearing the emperor's words, everyone was very happy, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank the Holy Grace.

When everything is done on the first day, it is already the right time.

Because of the ancestral system, the emperor had to stay in the empress's dormitory on Chinese New Year's Eve, taking the meaning of phoenix and song, while the emperor of the Yuan day stayed in the Chengqian hall where he lived on weekdays, which meant that the rivers and mountains were stable.

Yuan Hong returned to the Chengqian Hall and said to Sanbao: "I went to invite Zuo Zhaoyi to come, and I talked to her." ”

Sanbao hurriedly retreated, and when he reached the gate of the hall, he heard Yuan Hong say: "That's it, now that Zuo Zhaoyi is about to give birth, it is inconvenient to travel, so I should go to the Yonghe Palace to visit their mother and son." ”

Sanbao bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, you can only stay in the Chengqian Hall after the banquet in the Yuanri Palace, if you go to the Zuo Zhaoyi Palace at this time, I am afraid of causing criticism." ”

Yuan Hong was silent, and after a few flicks of his fingers, Yuan Hong said: "That's it, let's make some fish soup and Zhaoyi's favorite food on weekdays in the imperial kitchen, you personally send some Zhaoyi to the Yonghe Palace, and greet Zhaoyi for me..."

The three treasures should be down, and they explained that the attendants served Yuan Hong to wash and change clothes, and then went to the Yonghe Palace.

As the saying goes, "sunny winter, wet wax moon", the weather in the old winter is fine, and it is true that since the Laba Festival, there has often been heavy snowfall. Sanbao came out of the Chengqian Palace, saw that the sky had snowflakes, and when a gust of north wind blew, he felt a chill hit his body. Sanbao hurriedly tightened his collar, and said to the little waiter with him: "Follow up, Your Majesty specially instructed the imperial kitchen to stew fish soup for Zuo Zhaoyi, don't be cold." ”

The two little attendants who carried the food box did not dare to slack off, and followed the three treasures at a hurry.

A group of three people entered the Yonghe Palace, and when the inner attendant passed the word inside, they saw Jixiang greeted him with a smile on his face.

said goodbye to each other, and Sanbao said: "Zuo Zhaoyi, can you rest?" His Majesty sent a slave to deliver a bowl of fish soup to Zuo Zhaoyi. ”

Ji Xiang smiled: "The eunuch is in a hurry, Your Majesty has drunk a lot of wine tonight, Zuo Zhaoyi will make some sobering food for Your Majesty, and you are about to send the slave to the Chengqian Palace, you can come over." ”

Sanbao also smiled and said: "Your Majesty and Zuo Zhaoyi have the same heart, and they both have each other's hearts." ”

After the Three Treasures finished speaking, auspiciousness led the Three Treasures and the little attendants into the interior.

Sanbao bowed to the brothers and sisters of He and Yuan Ke, and said, "Zuo Zhaoyi, Your Majesty will send you and the second prince, the fifth prince and the princess some fish soup and pastries, can you use a bowl while it is hot?" ”

Before He could speak, Yuan Ying said happily: "Ying'er is feeling empty in her stomach, eunuch, Ying'er wants to eat." ”

He was full of pity and said with a smile: "The snowy night is long, so it's good to eat some fish soup, so that you don't feel hungry before dawn tomorrow." ”

After Sanbao served fish soup and pastries, He said to Sanbao: "It's freezing this day, and there is a labor eunuch." ”

Sanbao lowered his head and said: "Where is Zuo Zhaoyi, this is a matter within the slave's office, Zuo Zhaoyi eat it while it is hot." ”

He bowed his head slightly, and said: "I should have asked the eunuch to warm up and rest here, but I made cabbage pills with cabbage supplemented with honey, which can be used for Your Majesty's sobering up. ”

Sanbao said: "Zhaoyi treats Your Majesty with all her heart, and the slave will be sent to Your Majesty." ”

Signaling the two attendants with him to retreat, Sanbao continued: "Zuo Zhaoyi, tomorrow is the eldest princesses returning to the palace for a big feast, because they temporarily lived in Yecheng in the old year, and most of the eldest princesses were still living in Pingcheng at that time, Your Majesty will exempt the eldest princesses from returning to the palace to celebrate the New Year." This year is different from the old year, and the eldest princesses of the clan branch will enter the palace to congratulate His Majesty and the Queen, so everyone is full of rituals. Zuo Zhaoyi is pregnant, Your Majesty is afraid that Zuo Zhaoyi will be tired, so the slave will inform Zuo Zhaoyi, you can only attend the palace banquet, and if you don't want others to disturb your purity, it doesn't hurt if you don't go. ”

Raising his head slightly, Sanbao continued: "Your Majesty said that Princess Pengcheng is the nature of the Golden Sword of Malaysia, and she likes to drink, Your Majesty is afraid that the princess will accidentally hurt Zhaoyi after drinking, so please Zhaoyi Don't get too close to the princess." ”

He Wenyan was stunned in his heart, and with a flick of his fingers, he said: "I have written it down, please tell Your Majesty the eunuch, I will be careful." ”

The Three Jewels bowed their heads in response, and bowed again.

The Yuan Ke brothers and sisters ate the fish soup, and frolicked with He for a while, before they were led to sleep by Jixiang and the nurse.

The inner sanctum was silent, except for the sound of falling snow outside the window.

Picking the palace lamp, Wang walked to He's side and said, "Zhaoyi, do you want to rest?" ”

He said: "Sister-in-law Wang, I want to talk to you." ”

Wang Shi sat sideways on the side of the couch and said, "Zhaoyi is because of the words of the eunuch?" ”

He bowed his head slightly and said, "Sister-in-law Wang knows me." ”

Looking at Wang, He said: "Sister-in-law Wang, I haven't thought that the slippery fetus on my Qingming Festival is because of the princess, but the princess is a mother and sister of His Majesty, if I make this matter clear, wouldn't it be a dilemma for Your Majesty?" I just heard the words of the eunuch, and Your Majesty may have known about this for a long time... I know how much Your Majesty treats me, if the matter of my slippery fetus is really deliberately done by the princess, then how painful Your Majesty's heart should be in the past few months! ”

Wang is also a smart person, and hearing the words of the Three Treasures is a confirmation of what he had guessed in his heart earlier, but how can he make his heart uneasy when he is about to give birth? Thinking of this, Wang Shi was relieved: "Zhaoyi is pregnant with a dragon fetus, don't think too much. His Majesty Xu only because the princess is not informal, lest the princess have no intention of hurting Zhaoyi, so he has this will. Zhaoyi only needs to follow His Majesty's words, stay away from Princess Pengcheng, and give birth to the dragon fetus safely. ”

He smiled bitterly: "Yes, deliberately, unintentionally, the matter has passed..."

Gently stroking his abdomen, He said: "The imperial doctor ordered me to ask for a pulse, saying that nine out of ten of my womb is a princess, I only hope that she can be born safely, and she can be as cute and clever as Ying'er in the future." ”

Wang nodded and said, "Zhaoyi, you can raise the fetus with peace of mind, the dragon fetus has its own blessing, and it will be born safely." ”

After that, Wang took out a brocade package, opened it, took out a lot of swaddling baby clothes, and said with a smile: "This is the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month Mrs. Lin entrusted the concubine to bring into the palace, the slave had to know about Zhaoyi early, but in the past two days, there are many etiquettes in the palace, Zhaoyi is tired every time he returns, and the slave is not in a hurry for that moment, so he did not say to Zhaoyi." ”

When He saw the clothes made by his mother, he also eased his mood and said: "My mother is very good at needlework, and in the early years, the clothes of my grandmother and father, as well as my younger siblings and I were all sewn by my mother. It's just that now that my mother is old, how can she hurt her eyes and do this needlework? ”

Wang said: "You are about to give birth, Mrs. Lin must be happy in her heart, even if others do not allow it, it can't stop Mrs. from being willing to buy happy clothes for her grandchildren." ”

Between Wang's words, He unfolded the clothes made by his mother one by one, and his heart was also full of expectations.
