Chapter 1: The Past
The scene from ten years ago came back to my mind, the room was dark, the candles were jumping, and the woman in a gorgeous costume with a golden crown on her head knelt on the ground, and the woman in front of her could not get up, and the phoenix on the golden crown shook its wings with her sobbing, as if it was about to fly.
"Sister, you must help me, if you don't help, I will have no place in the palace in the future, so that's fine, but the child in the womb, she will have to live that cold life as soon as she is born?"
"Sister, it's not that I don't help, but it's a big deal, let me think about it again?" The woman looked at her sister, who was as white as snow below her knees, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
"Sister, I can't wait—there's no way—you know that the grand wedding in the palace, outsiders think that my daughter of the Fu family is noble, but they don't know that it is a shame for me. If others don't know, you don't know? After the woman finished speaking, she seemed to recall the beginning, and the sound of whimpering turned into crying loudly.
The woman's hands trembled.
"Sister, she has found Dr. Yu, nine times out of ten it is a boy, I didn't want to marry into the palace, but now I have entered the palace can only fight hard, although I am sisters with her, but after all, I am not a mother, I was snubbed by the prince, even if the queen protects me, I manage the prince for a while, how can I protect me for a long time. My sister has her own heart, if it weren't for the fact that they forced each other at the beginning, it would be self-defeating. How could she and I be the same concubine, and marry into the palace on the same day. Sister, they are the ones who bear me first. After the woman finished speaking, she actually bowed deeply.
It turned out that this was Fu Qingfeng, the only younger brother of the emperor and the concubine of King Chang, and the other woman was Fu Qingluan, the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion, and the two were sisters-in-law.
"Sister, you and I are sisters, you have the love of the grandfather of the country in every way, and you gave birth to An Er as soon as you entered the Guogong Mansion, but I stayed alone in the empty house for three years before I got pregnant, and I begged for it. I love her, my poor child, but if I give birth to her and can't protect her, let her live a life of snorting, it is better to die with her. ”
After Fu Qingfeng finished speaking, he got up and walked out, and was hugged tightly by Fu Qingluan, and the two women who were pregnant with Liujia and looked five points similar hugged each other and cried deeply.
"Just now, Doctor Xing said that you have a unicorn in your womb, and a golden branch in my womb, and the queen mother promised me that if I give birth to a baby boy, she will immediately ask the emperor to give her a son."
"But this is really a big crime of stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix into a king." Fu Qingluan, who has been honest since childhood, has a heartbeat.
"You and I are pregnant together, that is, God favors me, and after the child is born, we will set up a family of children and daughters, and we will treat each other as our own, okay?" The woman's pleading gaze made it impossible for the other party to refuse.
Cui Jiu'an, who was only three years old, hid under his mother's bed and was shocked by the scene in front of him. Until my mother and aunt left for a long time, I still got under the bed and didn't want to come out. He has always been known as a precocious wisdom, and he can't digest the conversation between his mother and his aunt, but he knows that this is a big secret and can't be known to others, so when he learned that his mother and his aunt and Princess Chang went to Qiguang Temple to pray for blessings, he didn't cry or make trouble and obediently stayed in the Guogong Mansion.
The mother was gone for two months, the mountain road landslide plank road was destroyed, and when she returned, she brought back the baby girl in swaddling clothes, white and tender, and he called sweetly, "Sister." ”
On the same day as the Chang Palace, the eldest son Qin Lang was born, and the next day the second son Qin Jue was born.
The young man, who was silent in his memories, was awakened by the sound of a clear cough.
"Ahem—Childe, Madame is coming this way." The boy standing beside the boy reminded him. Then he put away the "Spring Girl Play Disc Picture" in front of the juvenile case, and the young girl with the hanging hair chased the colorful butterflies all over the garden with a net bag, and the slender figure shuttled among the rockery flowers and trees, like a cunning dragonfly. It's just that such a flexible figure will be rare in the future.
"Mother, why are you here?" The boy got up, and helped the woman to the window, and she stood.
"Are you the same as my son if you win the Huiyuan, my mother still needs her son's permission to see her son? Why do you want to put up a shelf? The woman was Fu Qingluan, the Duchess of the Kingdom, and she was talking angrily, but her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles.
How can she not be happy, so young but with such talent, she will try to win Zhonghuiyuan in one fell swoop, and she has thought of Fu Qingluan, the champion who played on the street three years later, and she was proud again, her husband was the champion of martial arts back then, and her son may be even Zhongsanyuan, her An'er is not arrogant or impatient in the Guogong Mansion, and she is romantic but clean. Now I am afraid that I am the object of envy and jealousy of this female lady in the capital, and I followed my son's gaze to look at Mengjue Tower not far away, but gradually frowned.
"An'er, how is Xin'er's disease good?" Fu Qingluan sighed mournfully.
"Mother, my heart hurts for me, I will definitely heal her, but in this house, you still need to be more careful, don't relax for a moment." Cui Jiu'an's tone was calm, but there was a faint chill in his eyes. No matter how gentle a person is like water, like the river water, it can water and nourish all things, and it can also impact and destroy living beings.
"An'er, my mother knows that you have always loved your child, and Xin'er is treating you to suffer this time, but you also have to take care of your body, seeing that you have lost too much during this time." Cui Jiu'an's originally round cheeks now show the edges and corners of a teenager, like pines and cypresses becoming more and more green and vigorous after the rain.
"Mother doesn't have to worry about the child, the child knows, it's just the princess's mother's behavior, I can't wait to invite all the imperial doctors to come, and move all the pharmacies in the capital, this matter is too eye-catching, and I also ask the mother to mention one or two aunts, some things should not be excessive, eye-catching." After Cui Jiuan finished speaking, he held his mother's hand and said with heavy strength, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Fu Qingluan couldn't help but be frightened, as if this son knew everything, I don't know if he intentionally mentioned it or not, in short, he should really let Mama Fu go over, I am afraid that if it continues like this, it will cause speculation among those who are interested.
"An'er, don't stay in this study all the time, it's sunny outside, you can also take Xin'er out for a walk, it's also good for her condition, I have to go back to Dongyuan beforehand."
Fu Qingluan came out of the Good Awakening Pavilion and said to the woman who was about forty years old next to her: "Luoying, you have to go to the Hechang Wangfu to tell Qingfeng about this matter, let her press the anxiety and worry in her heart, and you must not come to the mansion to visit again, so as not to be suspicious." ”
This Mama Fu served Fu Qingluan when she was young, and her feelings were like sisters, so she was given the surname Fu and her name Luoying. At that time, Fu Qingluan and Fu Qingfeng lost their mother when they were young, she was only a few years older than them, but she was like a mother and daughter, and she was like a sister. Fu Qingfeng married into the palace and was wronged, how could she not feel distressed, now it is not easy to work step by step, and there is a place to run the palace well, and she must not fall short.
"Madam, the princess is a fan of the authorities, and if she cares, she will be chaotic, and the slave will definitely comfort her." Mama Fu comforted.
"Luoying, thanks to you, otherwise the great state of the Mansion, I don't know who to hand over these private matters to, so I can rest assured, An'er was almost poisoned this time, Yuan'er is young, fortunately, you are raised by the old woman's side, no one dares to hurt him, otherwise he is not as perceptive and delicate as An'er——"
"Madam, the second son is talented, the sixth son is smart and clever, and the fifth lady is innocent, this is the blessing of the lady." Mama Fu said in a positive voice.
"You're the one who makes me happy." Fu Qingluan smiled when he heard this, and his brows stretched sadly.
