[Chapter 31: He Has a Bead Fetus and This Secret Knot] (2)
"You...... Got it all? ”
He really couldn't hide anything from her.
Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan's posture that he really wanted to go to Daming Palace with him, Li Longji hurriedly grabbed her hand, but listened to her: "There are a lot of people here. ”
Li Longji had no choice but to let go again, stepped forward and whispered, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just didn't know how to tell you......"
"Why should you be so polite to the minister, it is about everyone's heirs, and the minister has the responsibility to take care of it. Chen really thinks that as a father, instead of going to the pear orchard for fun, it is better to see this ...... The smallest princess. ”
Ten months ago, when the new crown prince had not yet been established, and when Xiao Jiangyuan was not in the palace, Li Longji had favored a Sogdian dancing girl named Cao Yena. Her surname comes from a small Sogdian country called Cao, where Yena is the most common name. Not long after she came to Chang'an, she had not yet been sinicized, so she entered the pear garden because of her outstanding dancing skills. It was precisely because of her unique temperament that Li Longji noticed her, and even pampered her on one of the nights when Xiao Jiangyuan went home.
It was a dewy love affair between you and me, and it was a Huren dancing girl, so Li Longji didn't pay attention to it anymore, not to mention that a few months later, he was with Xiao Jiangyuan. It's just that he didn't expect that Cao Ye Naji has been secretly married since then, and gave birth to a baby girl a few days ago.
He placed her in the Bead Mirror Hall of Daming Palace, and let Feng Shenwei take care of it.
After all, she is a daughter of this age, although she combines the blood of the Hu people and looks different from other princesses, she is not good-looking in Li Longji's opinion, but as her biological father, she always has to take a few looks. It's just that the more he looks, the less joy he gets, and the more he gets annoyed.
He knew that he couldn't hide this from Xiao Jiangyuan, and the best way was of course to take the initiative to confess, but he couldn't open his mouth. This delay has been delayed again and again, and it has finally come to this day.
He observed Xiao Jiangyuan's reaction, but saw that she not only had no accident or unhappiness, but persuaded him to visit Daming Palace as if nothing happened, just like when a child was born in the former palace.
He didn't know whether to be happy or relaxed for a while, and all his worries and worries suddenly turned into a nameless fire: "Since you want to see her so much, then let's get started." ”
Feng Shenwei was guarding the door of the Zhujing Hall every day, and when he saw Xiao Jiangyuan coming with Li Longji on this day, he was excited, stood up straight, and after saluting Li Longji, he saluted Xiao Jiangyuan respectfully.
Xiao Jiangyuan didn't look at him, only nodded, and followed Li Longji into the Bead Mirror Palace. As soon as I saw a Hu woman holding the swaddling clothes tightly, the palace and the nurse were not allowed to approach her, and her mouth was muttering in the Sogdian language.
Xiao Jiangyuan did have an inexplicable curiosity about Cao Ye Naji, but when she saw it, she only felt pitiful.
A wild and fresh girl came all the way to Chang'an, and the time was so short that she couldn't even learn a few words of Chang'an's official language, and she was locked in this deep palace. Her dancing must be beautiful, but at this time, her body has become fat and bloated due to childbirth, and her steps are a little vain, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to dance again.
"What's going on?" Li Longji asked.
The nurse replied, "Madame probably thought that the slaves and maids were going to take away the princess, so there was such a big reaction, but no matter how the slaves and maids explained, Madame just refused to listen." ”
Li Longji was afraid that Cao Ye Naji would hurt the child, so he wanted to try it himself, but he didn't want Cao Ye Naji to see him, although he was honestly shrunk a little, but he refused to pay attention to it.
"Let the minister try." Xiao Jiangyuan stepped forward as she spoke, and seeing that Cao Ye Naji was still retreating, she stretched out her hand towards Cao Ye Naji, "I have no malicious intent." ”
She knew that Cao Ye Nahime might not understand, so her smile was extremely gentle.
As if infected by this pure gentleness, Cao Ye Naji stepped forward little by little. She grabbed Xiao Jiangyuan's hand and took a bite first.
"Ah Yuan!" Li Longji hurriedly said, and saw Xiao Jiangyuan shaking his head at him.
Xiao Jiangyuan didn't feel the pain, and knew that Cao Ye Naji was just a temptation. She knew that she believed in herself, so she took two more steps forward and glanced down at the little princess: "It's so beautiful." ”
Seeing Cao Ye Naji looking at him with a puzzled expression, Xiao Jiangyuan thought for a while and said, "Beautiful, beautiful." ”
These two words, Cao Ye Naji has heard: "You, say her?" ”
Xiao Jiangyuan pointed at the little princess, and then at Cao Ye Naji, and said, "She's beautiful, good-looking, just like you." ”
Cao Ye Naji lowered her head and laughed, pulled Xiao Jiangyuan to sit down, and handed her the swaddling clothes to hug.
Xiao Jiangyuan was slightly stunned for this easy trust, but did not take it, and pushed the swaddling clothes back into Cao Ye's arms: "She is yours, no one can snatch it away." ”
Cao Ye Naji looked at Xiao Jiangyuan quietly for a while and nodded.
"Can you get a title?"
Li Longji was staring at Xiao Jiangyuan in a daze, and came back to his senses when he heard the words: "Not yet." ”
"That's not in a hurry, you can have a milk name first." Seeing that the little baby was looking at himself fixedly with watery eyes, as if he was talking to himself, Xiao Jiangyuan's heart softened, and his voice became soft, "Right, my mother?" ”
Li Longji suddenly said: "How do you know that she is a young lady?" ”
The so-called "unit" is the youngest and the youngest in the family. In the past, Princess Taiping was the youngest child of Emperor Li Zhi, and she has always been called "Mi Niang".
Xiao Jiangyuan was stunned and said with a smile: "It's the minister's mistake, everyone will have many children, children and grandchildren, and they will never die." ”
"That's not what I meant......" Li Longji was just about to explain, but when he saw so many people around, he had no choice but to say, "Then let's call her 'Worm Girl'." ”
Xiao Jiangyuan took Cao Ye's hand and pointed to the swaddling clothes: "Worm, mother." ”
This sentence, Cao Ye Naji learned the fastest: "Worm Niang." ”
Leaving the Zhujing Palace, Xiao Jiangyuan said: "The minister thinks that it is time to choose a gentleman who is proficient in Sogdian and Chang'an official dialect to give lectures to her, and the little princess can be taken care of by her alone, and the nurse and the palace people only need to give her what she needs." ”
Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan's businesslike appearance, Li Longji was a little weak and uneasy: "...... It's all up to you. ”
"Then the minister went to do it."
Xiao Jiangyuan said goodbye, but as soon as he turned around and walked a few steps, his eyes went black and he fell to the ground.
When she woke up, she was back in the mansion of Yi Sin Fong, lying on the bed in her bedroom.
Seeing Li Longji standing by her couch, looking at her with a smile, his eyebrows and eyes were full of tenderness, and the smile on his lips was also full of joy, Xiao Jiangyuan was stunned for a while, and suddenly sighed.
Li Longji smiled clearly: "I don't dare to say anything about it, why do you have to hide such a great thing from me?" ”
When Xiao Jiangyuan just fainted, Li Longji was frightened. Fortunately, Xiao Jiangyuan's mansion was very close to Daming Palace, so he directly hugged her and rushed over in a carriage.
As soon as he entered Xiao Jiangyuan's mansion, Li Longji saw the physician Han Si - that was the physician in Goro's mansion before, and since Golang's death, he entered Xiao Jiangyuan's mansion.
Other doctors, Li Longji may be relieved to use it, but Xiao Jiangyuan must not allow it, Li Longji hurriedly asked Han Si to diagnose Xiao Jiangyuan's pulse, and only when he heard Han Si say "no problem", he relaxed a little.
He glanced at Xiao Jiangyuan's lower abdomen and asked, "What about the child?" ”
Seeing Han Si's expression a little strange, as if he didn't expect it, Lu Yunniang, who came to hear the news, was even more surprised: "She...... Told the saint? ”
Only then did Li Longji know that Xiao Jiangyuan's pregnancy was not only true, but she herself had known it for a long time!
Xiao Jiangyuan didn't know how to answer Li Longji's question for a while, so he could only remain silent, but he heard Li Longji laugh and say:
"It's okay, anyway, now that I know, it doesn't matter."
His arms were just a link, and she fell completely into his arms.
"I said I was pregnant, but I didn't feel anything, could it be a misdiagnosis......
"You still can't believe Han Si's medical skills? What's more, you don't feel anything, it's just that you ignore it, but I can see it really. You've been so sleepy lately, it must be because this little person in your womb feels sorry for your mother's hard work and lets you rest more. ”
"Saburo...... Seems to be having fun? ”
"How can I not be happy? Regardless of whether this is what I have gained in old age, or perhaps my last child, I am infinitely happy just because it is your flesh and blood. As if to prove something, he kissed her on the forehead, and then her eyes, nose, and lips, each light and heavy.
The light is the action, and the heavy is the emotion.
Xiao Jiangyuan endured the heavy affection that he kept transmitting, staring at the joy and caution in his eyes, and he could no longer say a word of suspicion.
But Li Longji hesitated and said: "Since we have children, we can't go on like this without a name and no share......
Feeling Xiao Jiangyuan's body stiffen, Li Longji hurriedly said again: "Okay, okay, don't think nonsense, have the slightest worry." In the future, we have everything to discuss. ”
Xiao Jiangyuan's heart did not relax because of Li Longji's relaxation. She knew that this was only temporary, and she also felt some emotion in her heart-why did Li Longji ever whisper to people like this?
Now in order to let her accept this child and accept the fate drawn out of this child, although he has not lost his dignity, he has lowered all his posture.
But is there really room for negotiation between them?
After calming Xiao Jiangyuan to sleep, Li Longji walked out of the bedroom. Han Si and Lu Yunniang were still kneeling in the courtyard, and Li Longji waved his hand to make them stand up.
Li Longji said in a low voice: "Ah Yuan, she ...... Is it really okay? ”
Han Si said: "It's okay at the moment, but General Xiao is pregnant at an advanced age after all, and he has a greater risk of getting pregnant than a woman of the right age, and her physique is weak, so if you want to give birth smoothly, you must recuperate with peace of mind." ”
"She knows what you're talking about?"
"Exactly."
These words, as early as that night, when Xiao Jiangyuan returned to ask Han Si to diagnose his pulse, Han Si made it clear to him, but, where is Xiao Jiangyuan who is willing to recuperate?
Lu Yunniang stood on the side, and couldn't help but think back to that night.
Xiao Jiangyuan came back very suddenly that night, and the moment he proposed to let Han Si diagnose his pulse, Lu Yunniang realized that something was wrong. Knowing such a result, she was both happy and worried.
In the past, when her sister-in-law was pregnant, how happy she was, but Xiao Jiangyuan only sat silently on the couch, unable to see a look of joy. She even sat like that all night and day until the next evening, when she got up and went back to Xingqing Palace, she told Lu Yunniang to let her and Han Si keep it a secret, and the matter should never happen.
But the child is different from others, it is surviving in Xiao Jiangyuan's belly and growing up day by day, how can it really turn a blind eye?
And as long as the child is there, Li Longji will find out sooner or later, just like today.
Lu Yunniang was worried about Xiao Jiangyuan, so she heard Li Longji ask:
"Yun Niang, what do you think?"
The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
