Chapter 169: Chinese New Year's Eve

On December 28 of the seventh year of Yong'an, the entire Dashun Palace was festive. The palace maids all changed into festive dark pink new palace clothes, and busily shuttled through various palaces to make final preparations for the New Year.

In the cold palace, Lingxi covered his lower abdomen and curled up quietly on the bed in the dormitory, his face was slightly pale, and he didn't say a word.

Lotus Ye stood beside Lingxi's bed, wringing her cracked hands vigorously, tears rolling in her eyes.

On the twenty-sixth day, when Granny Bai was checking the pulse of Lingxi, she was on the side, and she heard everything Granny Bai said.

Lingxi's body was weak, and it was not easy to barely keep the dragon heir in his womb, and now he had to be frightened like this again and again.

"Niangniang......" Lotus Ye couldn't help but choke up, and said in a suppressed voice, "Slave maid, go and cook some bird's nest for you to eat." ”

Lingxi closed his eyes and hummed flatly.

The lotus leaf wiped away the dazzle in his eyes, turned around and walked out of the dormitory.

Cuizhu came in from outside, and when she saw the lotus leaf going out, she laughed loudly, "Seeing that tomorrow is the New Year, I'm afraid that your piece of pork will be eaten, and I will send you some more to come......"

The smile on Cuizhu's face was so dazzling when it fell on Lotus Ye's eyes. Lotus Ye turned around and closed the door of the palace, no longer holding back the hatred in her heart, looking at Cuizhu and cursing viciously, "You people who have been killed by the sky, what are you doing now, get out!" ”

Cuizhu was stunned by the lotus leaf, and then hung anger on her face, and scolded back, "I really don't know how to do it, I came to deliver something to you early in the morning, and I really fed it to the wolf's belly with kindness!" Phew, if you don't say how many good birds can enter the cold palace, you still think of yourself as a high master in this situation. It's really in vain that I am sincere to you. You deserve to freeze to death here, starve to death for the rest of your life, and you can't get out of ......"

Where can Lotus Ye still hear Cuizhu's unforgiving curses, and when he made a mistake in his heart, he rushed up and scuffled with Cuizhu.

Cuizhu was caught off guard by the lotus leaf and fell into the snow at once. But Cuizhu was in good shape in the end, and as soon as she turned over, she lifted the lotus leaf off her body, raised her right hand and slapped the lotus leaf in both mouths.

Lotus Ye has lost a lot of weight since she entered the cold palace, and she didn't sleep all night and didn't eat in the morning, so the strength in her body has long been gone. As soon as Cuizhu's two mouths fell, Lotus Ye only felt that her eyes were black, her ears were buzzing, and she wanted to struggle to get up but couldn't exert any strength.

"Phew!" Cuizhu stood up and slapped the snow off her body, picked up a bamboo basket that had been placed in the yard earlier, and scolded the lotus leaf, "I don't know how to take care of you because my mother-in-law let me take care of you!" ”

After speaking, he kicked the lotus leaf lying in the snow and couldn't get up twice, turned around and left angrily.

The lotus leaves were lying in the snow, and their bodies were cold. The snow fell from her collar to her neck, trying her best to suck the heat out of her, but she didn't have the strength to lift her hand to sweep the snow out......

Lingxi had already stood at the door of the hall when Cuizhu and Lotus Ye were fighting, but she couldn't step forward to help because of the child in her womb.

After Cuizhu walked away, Lingxi walked out of the hall holding his lower abdomen. Kneeling in the snow and using all his strength to pull the lotus leaf out of the snow, and patted the floating snow off the lotus leaf.

After this series of actions was completed, a trace of cold sweat was already hanging on Lingxi's sideburns.

Lingxi sat on the ground, put the head of the lotus leaf on his knees, patted the cold cheeks of the lotus leaf with his hand, and said in a trembling voice, "Lotus leaf, lotus leaf ......"

Lotus Ye's small face was whiter than snow, his lips were bloodless, his eyes were slightly open, and there were scattered snowflakes hanging on his eyelashes and sideburns.

Lingxi stroked the snowflakes on the sideburns of the lotus leaf with his hand, and tears fell down in large drops, "Lotus leaf, if I don't ask for you in the Hall of Mercy, you don't have to go into the cold palace with me to suffer like this." Even if he dies, he is stronger than he is now......"

Looking at the lotus leaf like this, the spirit rhino heart is like a knife. Since entering the cold palace, Lotus Leaf has resisted half of her sky and tried her best to take care of her. At this time, apart from the lotus leaf, Lingxi really didn't know who else he had.

Hearing the sound of the rhino, the lotus leaf made a 'grunt' sound in his throat, and the distant consciousness returned to his brain. Seeing that he was in Lingxi's arms, and Lingxi was crying in big drops, Lotus Ye immediately panicked.

She tried to roll over and sit up, but found that she couldn't do it. Lotus Ye stretched out her frozen blue hand and put it on Lingxi, and said in a choked voice, "Niangniang, don't cry, the slave is fine." ”

Lingxi held the head of the lotus leaf in his arms, and tears rolled down, "Do you know the lotus leaf?" When I first entered the palace, I went to the palace of the first emperor Mei Concubine and happened to meet the palace maid Yixue next to the princess of Allure who fought with the palace maids in the Ruyi Palace for a few catties of ink charcoal. I was only nine years old that year, I sat in the snow with Yixue in my arms as I am now, looking at those palace maids who bullied people and secretly hated in my heart, why am I not the master, no matter if I am from the Baolin of the fifth grade, I will not let them bully at will. Tears slid down Lingxi's face and fell on the lotus leaf's bun, "But you see, lotus leaf, now I have given birth to five princes for the emperor, a respected concubine, but I still have to let people calculate and be bullied...... Lotus leaf, why do you say this? I can't protect my children, I can't protect my maidservants, I can't even protect my own life, lotus leaves, am I useless? ”

The lotus leaf crawled in Lingxi's arms, wrapped her hand around Lingxi's waist that had gained a circle due to pregnancy, and couldn't help crying.

"Lotus leaf, you say, why does she hate me so much?" Lingxi looked at the white vast world, frowned lightly, and said in a sad voice, "I came to this world, I don't know anyone, I only know her." We grew up together since we were children, and then I entered the palace, and she also entered the palace. In order for her to have a place in the palace, I repeatedly postponed leaving the palace for the sake of the child in her womb. But why did she dedicate me to the emperor? ”

"That's it, I have her, the five princes, and I am content. But why did she hurt me? Lingxi's eyes were blank, and he muttered, "I treat her sincerely, so why harm me?" ”

"Niangniang......" Lotus Ye couldn't understand Lingxi's last words, raised her hand to wipe the tears on Lingxi's face, and sobbed, "Niangniang, you said, just endure it and it will pass." As long as we are alive, there is hope. ”

"Live?" Lingxi rubbed the cold little face of the lotus leaf, and a wry smile appeared on the crying face, "Queen, will she let me live?" Even if she lets me live, how will I get out of this cold palace? ”

Lotus Ye gritted her teeth and sat up from Lingxi's arms with her body propped up. After wiping away her tears, she held Lingxi's arm and persuaded, "Niangniang, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, we can't just give up." Niangniang, think about the five princes, the five princes are still waiting for you to go out outside. You are the mother of the Five Princes, who will be sincere to the Five Princes except you? Niangniang, for the sake of the five princes, no matter how difficult it is, you have to endure it......"

"yes." Lingxi stood up with the lotus leaf's hand, wiped away her tears, and said firmly, "Yes, it's useless to cry." For the sake of the five princes, I can't fall. You can't fall ...... either."

On December 29, the seventh year of Yong'an, Chinese New Year's Eve, a family banquet was held in the Taihe Palace.

Emperor Yong'an and Empress Zhu sat on the main throne on one left and one right, and raised a glass with the concubines of the inner palace, King Ning, the second prince and others, and drank and talked happily.

In the center of the Taihe Palace, sixteen women dressed in pale pink tulle are dancing to the beat of drums with cheerful smiles on their faces and long water sleeves in their hands.

They were all elected to the palace in the sixth year of Yong'an, and they couldn't get into the eyes of Emperor Yong'an in the final election of the Imperial Garden, and if they wanted to get the favor again, they could only perform well at the New Year's Palace banquet, in order to be favored by Emperor Yong'an.

After the dance, none of the sixteen girls could enter the Yong'an Emperor's dragon eye, and even their carefully choreographed dance for more than three months failed to get a word of praise from the Yong'an Emperor.

It's just that it served as a background for a while in the magnificent Taihe Palace.

After the sixteen pickers retreated, one was dressed in a lotus pink tulle half-sleeved short undergarment, and the lower was dressed in a green pomegranate skirt, and a colorful shawl about two zhang long on her shoulders, and a girl with a veil on her face, holding a pipa in her hand and walking in from outside the hall.

On his head he held a bun of Wangxian, and in the bun he put a beaded flower with a thin twist of gold and silver threads, and the core of the bead flower was a small silver bell, which made a soft and crisp sound as the girl moved.

As soon as the girl walked into the hall, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Emperor Yong'an raised his sword eyebrows, looking at what kind of wonderful performance the girl would bring next.

The girl did not step forward to greet Emperor Yong'an, but stood still in the hall, raised the delicate and small vermilion pipa above her head, turned her back to her, and made a gesture of rebounding the pipa.

The girl's eyes were as light as water, and with a movement of her right wrist, the sound of a light pipa poured out.

The musician who lived on the high place immediately took over the beautiful lute playing, and the maiden in the hall began to dance on the lute.

Dancing to the depths, the girl held the pipa, and gently walked in the Taihe Hall for more than 30 circles, and the two-zhang long colorful shawl floated with her turning, forming a rainbow-like cloud around her.

Emperor Yong'an straightened his eyes, put down the glass cup in his hand, and clapped his hands and shouted, "Okay!" ” | ..

With the applause of Emperor Yong'an, the concubines in the palace all applauded.

Empress Zhu also shook her head lightly, high-fived and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, this pipa dance is very gentle, and the concubines can be regarded as having a blessing in their eyes~"

"Very good...... Emperor Yong'an picked up the wine cup again, and smiled at the beautiful woman dancing in the hall, "Come forward and take off the veil." ”

The girl was still panting after dancing a song, and when she heard Emperor Yong'an's words, she was busy breathing, Ying Ying stepped forward and blessed Emperor Yong'an, saying, "The concubine is respectful." ”

As the veil slowly slipped down, a delicate little face carved out of jade appeared in front of everyone, its eyes shining like stars in the dark night.

Emperor Yong'an looked at the familiar face in front of him, and the corners of his mouth provoked a hint of evil smile, "It's actually you......" Hahaha, the third update finally let me write it out, I have been waiting for a long time~~~
