Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Truth Is Always Not Beautiful

The queen's pregnancy is a major event, related to the stability of the country, Yun Huanting suddenly fainted, and invited the imperial doctor to enter the palace to diagnose the pulse only to know that she was pregnant, and the palace maid hurriedly went to report the good news to Li Sheng, that is, Li Sheng has always been serious and calm, and she couldn't help but be happy and smile.

Yun Wanting woke up slowly, and saw Li Sheng guarding beside her, with obvious joy in her dark eyes, and she moved slightly: "Your Majesty......"

"Lie down, the doctor said, you have our child." Li Sheng said softly.

Yun Wanting was slightly stunned, and then felt great joy, any woman would feel happy to learn that she had become a mother.

This is Li Sheng's first time as a father, he attaches great importance to this child, and he has told him everything in detail, Yun Huanting sees it in his eyes, he attaches importance to their children, and she naturally feels happy.

It's just that with her pregnancy, there is also a bad thing, she is pregnant and naturally can no longer serve Li Sheng, but Li Sheng's harem has no one else except the queen.

There is only one queen for the king of a country, which is a very absurd and even uncourteous thing, but at that time, Li Shengchu ascended the throne, everything was waiting to be enjoyed, and he was not interested in the affairs of the harem, Yun Huanting as the queen should choose a concubine for Li Sheng, but at that time she had just entered the palace and had no children, so the Yun family thought about waiting for her to give birth to her eldest son before discussing it, and the eldest son of the emperor could not come out of the belly of another woman.

So this matter has been delayed, now that Yun Huanting is pregnant, naturally she can't delay it any longer, even if Yun Huanting has long known that there will be such a day, but she inevitably feels sour in her heart, she is pregnant with his child, and she has to find another woman for him, no matter how she thinks about it, she feels uncomfortable.

In addition, during pregnancy, she was emotionally unstable, and Yun Huanting, who has always been gentle and kind, also had a somewhat capricious temper.

Li Sheng didn't know about her psychological changes, he just saw that Yun Huanting was busy with the concubine, and he was a little worried: "The concubine is small, the queen doesn't have to worry about it, I am busy with state affairs, and I don't have the heart to be served." ”

Li Sheng's refusal made Yun Huanting's heart sweet, and she naturally didn't want others to share Li Sheng in her heart, although she knew that as the emperor, she couldn't monopolize him forever, but it was good to have some exchanges this day.

Yun Wanting saw what Li Sheng said, so she smiled and nodded: "The concubine listens to Your Majesty." ”

Yun Wanting gently snuggled in Li Sheng's arms, with a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth.

Yun Wanting didn't be happy for too long, even if Li Sheng refused to accept a concubine, she didn't expect that it would be her own family that forced her to take a concubine for Li Sheng.

The queen is pregnant, and her mother's family naturally wants to visit the palace, so on this day, Yun Huanting's mother, the eldest wife of the Yun family, entered the palace.

Yun Huanting was still very happy to see her mother, the mother and daughter talked for a while, and Mrs. Yun suddenly changed her words, "Your Majesty said about the concubine?" Now that you're pregnant and can't serve, do you have any arrangements for this? ”

Yun Huanting bent the corners of her lips, with a little sweetness in her eyes: "Your Majesty said that he has no mind to accept a concubine now, and this matter is not in a hurry." ”

"Confused!" Mrs. Yun suddenly reprimanded angrily: "Why are you so confused! My mother told you a long time ago, men said no, but they are all sweet words, how can a man not love sex? If you don't arrange it for him, he will have a mind outside, rather than letting him find those restless ones outside, it is better to arrange for him yourself, and find a few people who know the roots, so that they can't get past you in the future. ”

Yun Huanting bit her lip, her face turned slightly pale: "Mother, my daughter naturally knows that my daughter is not intolerant, but Your Majesty is unwilling, what can my daughter do?" ”

"My silly daughter, he said that his reluctance is just to save face, how can a man not be greedy for freshness? I don't believe that my mother put her words here, you find him a young and beautiful one to put in the palace, do you think he can bear it? This emperor is also a man, he is also a man, and he is always vulgar. Mrs. Yun said bitterly.

Yun Huanting looked shocked, pursed her lips, and stopped talking.

Mrs. Yun Da looked at her like this, sighed slightly, and said, "Mother knows, you feel uncomfortable, what woman is willing to share her husband with others?" But Wan Ting, you should know from the day you entered the palace that since you are the queen, you have to let go of the love of your little daughter, the queen's status is honorable, the entire Yun family is proud of you, you want to be a mother in the world, and naturally you have to bear more than others. ”

Yun Huanting pursed the corners of her lips, lowered her head and said, "My daughter understands." ”

She already knew these words, but at that time Li Sheng was just an identity for her, but now he is a living person, he treats her gently and considerately, and he is also very good to her, since entering the palace, the two of them are also very affectionate, and she can't help but have other thoughts.

It would be nice if it could be like this for the rest of my life.

Mrs. Yunda breathed a sigh of relief and held her hand, "What do your grandfather and your father mean, is it that you are too lonely in the palace alone, and it is difficult to speak alone, or you have to have your own people in the palace to help you, so I specially took your cousin into the capital, just taking advantage of this opportunity to enter the palace, in the future, you two sisters can also take care of each other in the palace, and you don't have to work hard to find candidates, it is not good for the fetus." ”

Yun Huanting looked at Mrs. Yun in shock, the family has even chosen a candidate, this time she asked her to help send people into the palace?

Her mother, first persuaded her to give her husband a concubine, but now she has even prepared a candidate for her, and it is better for her to be better in the name of beauty, so as not to tire her.

Is this still her mother?

"How can my mother be so sure that Your Majesty will definitely choose the girl of the Yun family?" Yun Wanting asked calmly.

Mrs. Yunda glanced at her with disgust: "Isn't this you?" You are pregnant now, if you open your mouth, will Your Majesty still give you this face? Besides, you and Your Majesty are married couples, and you have been in the palace for so long, you must know Your Majesty's preferences, and you will not be able to get Your Majesty's favor if you give your cousin a guide or two? After a pause, she said earnestly: "Wan Ting, my mother is all for your good, your cousin has entered the palace, and you will give birth to the emperor's eldest son in the future, and you can also help more." ”

Yun Huanting hooked the corners of her lips self-deprecatingly: "My daughter knows." ”

Yun Huanting's true feelings in her heart have no way of knowing, but she knows that Mrs. Yun still has a right sentence, she doesn't arrange for Li Sheng, and if Li Sheng can't be guaranteed to find another woman outside, it is better for her to arrange a good one, including Yun Huanting's cousin.

In order to make it less obvious, Yun Huanting deliberately held a concubine election, Li Sheng saw that she insisted on this, and was slightly dissatisfied in her heart, but she didn't say anything more, Li Sheng's attitude, Yun Huanting believed Mrs. Yun's words even more, in fact, Li Sheng didn't want to accept a concubine, what he said that day was just a prevarication.

Yun Huanting felt a pain of realization in her heart.

As soon as the news of the queen's pregnancy came out, Mrs. Su taught Qi Shuying a lesson again, and said openly and secretly that she couldn't even give birth to a child, but she didn't dare to make too much trouble.

Then there was Gu Junyan, when he returned home on this day, he began to stare at Su Yunlai's belly, and his eyes were gentle and almost flashed with maternal brilliance.

Su Yunlai couldn't help but laugh: "What do you see, I'm not pregnant!" Saying this, she also had a strange feeling in her heart, if there was a child with the blood of the two of them, it should be a very magical thing, right?

Gu Junyan pretended to sigh: "Since I was a child, I have never lost to Your Majesty, Ah Wan, we should also work hard!" ”

Su Yunlai straightened his face: "Could it be that the child is your tool to fight for face?" What is your state of mind? As he spoke, he gave him a blank look.

Gu Junyan hugged her from behind, "But, but people also want to be a father, don't you want to have a child?" A little boy who looks like me......"

A miniature version of Gu Junyan appeared in Su Yunlai's eyes, and he was immediately moved.

"And what if it's a daughter?"

"It's even better for a daughter!" Gu Junyan's eyes lit up, "Then I will protect you two women, so that no one can bully you!" ”

Su Yunlai pursed her lips and smiled, approaching his embrace, Gu Junyan hugged her horizontally, she exclaimed, and hurriedly hugged his neck.

Su Yunlai was tossed and almost fell apart, leaning lazily in his arms, not even wanting to move a finger.

"I heard that Mrs. Fifth is here today, so what's the matter?" Gu Junyan looked satisfied, hugged Su Yunlai, and gently rubbed his fingers on her exposed skin.

Su Yunlai closed his eyes and replied lazily: "It's not that Your Majesty wants to choose a concubine, she wants to let the sixth sister enter the palace, and there is no way to go, so she begged me to come here." ”

Li Sheng wants to choose a concubine, and there are many people who have moved their minds, including the Su family who jumped up and down, and it is not surprising that how could the people of the Su family let go of such a good opportunity?

Of course, it was impossible for Su Yunlai to agree, the group of people in the Su family, she had already seen it, how could she help them?

"Has she ever embarrassed you?" Gu Junyan only cared about this matter.

Su Yunlai rubbed his chest and chuckled: "Who in the Su family dares to embarrass me now?" I said that the fifth uncle was still guilty, so I sent her away. ”

Gu Junyan nodded, he knew the ability of his daughter-in-law, so he heard Su Yunlai sigh.

"What's wrong?" Gu Junyan asked in a low voice.

Su Yunlai opened his eyes, his chin rested against his shoulder socket, and said in a low voice: "The queen mother is still pregnant now, but she wants to give His Majesty a concubine, what kind of feeling does this have." ”

Gu Junyan turned over, met her eyes, and smiled with a smile: "Ah Wan, are you worried that I will take a concubine in the future?" ”

Su Yunlai was stunned, she didn't expect him to misunderstand this meaning, she glanced at him: "The young general is so eager to have a child, could it be because he wants to recruit new people?" ”

Gu Junyan's face changed, he turned over and pressed her under him, his dark eyes stared at her: "I have you, I can't tolerate others anymore." He kissed her forehead softly, and whispered, "How can I be willing to let you suffer that kind of cone, it is really sad that the lady misunderstands me so much." ”

Su Yun looked at him with a serious look, his heart was sweet, and he reached out and hugged her.

How does a woman react after being rejected by a man she loves? Princess Wuyang chose to marry someone else in frustration, but the county lord of An Ning did not give up, so she finally let her wait for this opportunity to choose a concubine.

As the county lord of Anning, she is naturally worthy of Li Sheng, so she also participated in the election of a concubine this time, she is full of confidence, with her childhood friendship with Li Sheng, coupled with her background, she will definitely be successfully elected, but she didn't expect it, but in the second round, she was brushed down.

The county lord of Anning was not angry, she had always been arrogant, and she ran directly into the palace to find Yun Huanting to settle accounts.

The county lord of Anning broke into the Qiwu Palace, staring at Yun Huanting with an ugly face: "What do you mean?" I know that this time, in order to consolidate their position, the Yun family sent a girl into the palace, but I didn't rob her, can you not tolerate me so much? ”

Yun Huanting has excellent literacy, and the county lord of An Ning is so rude, she just frowned slightly, and her face was a little unswerving: "The county lord is too worried, the matter of choosing a concubine has its own regulations, and the palace is the queen and has no right to interfere, the county lord, please go back." ”

After Yun Huanting finished speaking, Jingfen walked in with the tonic, "Niangniang, this is a tonic specially ordered by His Majesty to be made for Niangniang in the imperial dining room, Niangniang should eat it while it is hot." ”

Yun Huanting's heart warmed, and she said helplessly: "Your Majesty is really, the palace is in good health, he is so uneasy." ”

Jingfen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is a distressed mother!" ”

The county lord of An Ning looked at the happy smile on Yun Huanting's face, and felt extremely dazzling, this woman married the man she loved and had her child, and now, she just wanted to be by Li Sheng's side, and this woman actually obstructed it in every way!

The resentment in his heart overflowed his heart, and the county lord of Anning said with red eyes: "Niangniang seems to be very proud? Do you think Your Majesty really loves you? Oh, Niangniang is stronger than me, but she is just a background, he married a girl from the Yun family, not you Yun Huanting! After a pause, there was a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth: "Even now, he cares about you and considerate you, but only for the sake of the child, because he will never get the woman he really loves!" ”

Yun Huanting's face suddenly became gloomy, not because of the rudeness of the county lord of Anning, but because she knew that what the county lord of An Ning said was true, it was the man who slept next to her, how could she not know what he was thinking?

"Presumptuous! Don't think that this palace will give you some face, and you will be arrogant! Yun Huanting scolded coldly.

The county lord of Anning sneered: "Niangniang, don't you still want to deceive yourself? Do you know who is the person on the tip of your majesty's heart? Do you want to know? I can solve my mother's doubts! ”

Yun Huanting looked at her with cold eyes, and the county lord of An Ning admired her expression very much, and a sense of revenge surged in his heart: "Your Majesty specially sent his own cronies in order to propose marriage to you that day, and it took a lot of effort to get to the Yun family, but do you know that he once expressed his love to another woman?" ”

Yun Wanting clenched her fists tightly, and fell into the palm of her hand, Jing Fen glanced at her worriedly, she waved her hand, and after a long time, she asked abruptly: "...... Who is it? ”

The county lord of An Ning was very satisfied with her compromise, and she took a step with a strange light in her eyes: "Your Majesty, as the Ninety-Five Honor, what kind of woman can't you get?" But this person, he can't move, this person has a deep relationship with His Majesty, and she is also a close friend of Princess Wuyang. ”

Yun Huanting was shocked, her eyes flashed with disbelief, Princess Wuyang couldn't get along with most of the ladies in Beijing, and only one person had ever seen her differently, that was Gu Junyan's wife, the seventh lady of the Su family, and the whole capital knew about it!

Suddenly, many things had answers.

Yun Huanting suddenly thought of one thing, she had seen a hosta in Li Sheng's study, on which was the pattern of an auspicious cloud, auspicious clouds naturally mean 'cloud', at first glance it was not ordinary, it happened to be her birthday, she thought it was given to her, so she quietly put it back, waiting for him to give it to her in person.

But later on her birthday, Li Sheng gave her a night pearl, but not the hairpin, she was still puzzled at the time, but the night pearl was much more precious than the hairpin, so she didn't care, thinking that he had found a better gift.

Now that I think about it, the hairpin was carefully put away and placed in the closest place to him! It turned out that she misunderstood, and Mrs. Gu Shao's maiden name also had a cloud character.

Also, now that I think about it, every time she summons all the ladies in Qiwu Palace, as long as Su Yun is present, Li Sheng will come over 'just right', she didn't care about it before, and thought that he was here to support her, but now that she thinks about it, it turns out that he came for that woman.

Su Yunlai is a female dependent, and Li Sheng is the emperor and can't be summoned from time to time, and the opportunity to see her is only in Qiwu Palace!

Yun Wanting figured out the key, closed her eyes in despair, her face was bloodless, her whole person's spirit was drained, and her body trembled slightly.

Jingfen hurriedly helped her: "Niangniang! ”

The county lord of An Ning watched coldly the whole process of her face changing, and felt very happy in her heart, Jingfen glanced at her coldly: "Our mother is unwell, please go back," After a pause, she said: "Now the mother is pregnant with a dragon seed in her belly, if there is a mistake, no one can afford it." ”

The county lord of An Ning's face was scornful, and he didn't dare to stimulate her anymore, so he snorted coldly and turned around and left.

Yun Wanting returned to the dormitory, her face was ugly, and her ears were full of the words of the county lord of Anning, she closed her eyes, her ten fingers were tightly clenched together, and her heart tingled.

Her mind was full of the time of love with Li Sheng these days, she originally thought that she didn't care whether Li Sheng loved her or not, but now she realized that she was wrong, it turned out that she didn't want to be only a qualified queen, but also wanted to be his wife and the woman he loved.

She thought she could, but she didn't expect that his heart had already been given to other women.

He's kind of good to her, isn't he? gave her all the honor of being a queen, but why, her heart still hurts so much?

Yun Huanting opened her mouth, her voice hoarse: "What about Your Majesty?" ”

Jing Fen hesitated for a moment, Yun Wanting glanced at her coldly, and Jing Fen hesitated to speak: "Today is the birthday of the young general, and Your Majesty left the palace and went to the general's mansion." ”

Yun Wanting sneered, go to the General's Mansion, I'm afraid I'm going to see that woman, right?

Today is Gu Junyan's birthday, Su Zhan and Xu Guanyi both came to the house to congratulate him, and even Li Sheng suddenly appeared, which was a surprise.

However, Gu Junyan didn't feel moved at all, after all, he just wanted to celebrate with Su Yunlai and the two of them, this is good, there are so many people, and he has to accompany them to drink, so the young general's face is very bad.

As the eldest brother, Su Zhan has a kind of detachment in his identity: "I said, so many of us have given you a birthday, if you don't say thank you, forget it, after all, they are not outsiders, even Your Majesty is here, what a face this is, you actually show us a face." ”

Gu Junyan raised his eyebrows: "I didn't invite you here." ”

Li Sheng shook his head amusedly: "Look, Jun Yan thinks we are troublesome, it's really in vain for all my hard work." ”

Gu Junyan looked at him: "Your Majesty has a noble status, how can you leave the palace rashly?" ”

Li Sheng immediately stopped talking.

Gu Zhong personally brought the noodles and put them on the table: "Young General, this is made by the young lady herself, and I told the general that I must finish eating." ”

Su Zhan was surprised: "Ah Wan can actually cook, I have to taste it!" ”

Xu Guanyi said: "Ah Zhan, since it was prepared by the young lady for the young general, let's not eat it." ”

Li Sheng shook his head: "Guanyi, this difference in words, how can Jun Yan be the kind of person with a small belly?" How can you be reluctant to give up a bowl of noodles? It just so happens that I want to eat noodles too. As he spoke, he silently handed over the bowl.

Xu Guanyi also smiled: "In this way, I want to try the young lady's craftsmanship." ”

Gu Junyan looked at the three bowls in front of him with a tangled face, he had a headache, could he have a little chance, the four men who could be said to be the most powerful in the dynasty are now competing for a bowl of noodles here? Won't it make people laugh out of their big teeth?

Gu Zhong smiled at this time and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Xu, and Lord Su, don't worry, the young lady has prepared a lot, and everyone has a share." ”

Gu Junyan pouted: "What to prepare for them?" They're not birthdays! ”

After eating, someone brought tea, Su Zhan looked at the teacup in front of him, the Qingbai porcelain official kiln teacup, and immediately jumped up: "I have always wanted this set of teacups, Ah Wan just won't give it, sure enough, the girl is outgoing!" I actually brought it to the Gu family! ”

Gu Junyan looked proud, I have to say that Su Yunlai married into the Gu family, and the Gu family's taste of life has improved more than a little bit.

Li Sheng and Xu Guanyi raised their heads and looked at the pride and joy on Gu Junyan's face, that was a happiness that could not be hidden, he was really good, and he was with his beloved woman all day long.

The heart was inexplicably a little uncomfortable, and the two of them lowered their heads and drank tea in unison to hide the tumbling emotions in their eyes.

Gu Junyan made no secret of his happiness, but they couldn't reveal it, they couldn't let people know, even if it was love, they couldn't let people know their hidden thoughts, how ironic is this?

Xiao Dezi hurriedly ran in from outside at this time: "Your Majesty, the queen is not good!" ”

Li Sheng's expression changed suddenly.
