Chapter 107: Plum Season
Le Zhengyu slept really long this night, and he didn't wake up slowly until the evening, next to the bed was Jimo's clenched hands, and a satisfied smile hung on the corners of his evil mouth.
It seemed that the boundless light bloomed among the clouds outside, and the dazzling sunset reflected in the house, the wind was blowing, and the bed curtain was rising and falling, like rootless fallen leaves, spinning and jumping.
"Yu'er, I thought you were going to fall asleep again, I sent all the maids out, I gave them all a holiday, let them go wherever they want, and I will accompany you here."
The chattering words of Jimo sounded in the room, and the sound of the wind beating on the window brought a series of cheerful and free jingle sounds, which were the wind chimes hung by Le Zhengyu on the door, worn with milky white shells, and painted in the colors they wanted, and at the moment they were floated by the wind, and a burst of songs sounded under the corridor.
"How could I fall asleep alone again, how could I leave you alone." Le Zhengyu's voice was a little hoarse, the tip of his nose was sour, and the feeling of sourness and numbness spread to the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but tremble a little.
"Hell, is it windy outside? I want to go out and see. ”
"Okay, I'll hold you."
At this moment, the two of them walked out of the outdoors like a hundred years of hair, the ink hair on the back of Le Zhengyu's neck could not withstand the blowing of the mountain wind, and it seemed to be almost hanging to the ground in a disorderly manner, without any beads and embellishments in the hair, and there were two strings of small silver bells on their feet, which made a pleasant sound with the movement of Jimo.
The empty cliff edge was exceptionally cool, clearly revealing a bit of coldness, nestled in Jimoyu's warm and wide arms, she reached out and stroked the man's handsome face.
He wears the crown of the prince on his head, and he looks really good-looking, not like the elegant dust of a landscape painting, but his eyebrows are open, and his obsidian-like eyes have a gentle smile, as if he is about to drown himself, and the slightly raised corners of his lips make people unable to take their eyes off.
He is more than eight feet tall, has been fighting abroad all the year round, and has a good body of muscles and bones, a full eight-pack abdominal muscles, very angular, like the demeanor of a fairy in the painting, half of the mask covers his face, and he looks like a chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes, mysterious and unpredictable.
He is very particular about dressing, but he is not as white as the ordinary nobles in Beijing, he often wears a dark coat with blue-purple boots, or a dark purple robe tied at will, and then with brocade and dark pattern boots, a fan-shaped jade trick around his waist, shining in the sunlight.
His legs are extremely long, Le Zhengyu never knew that human legs could be so long, so powerful, so straight, a faint flush floated from her cheeks, making her sickly pale face a little more angry, under the reflection of the sunset on the horizon, the jade man held a beautiful person in his arms, as if he was going to return to the dust.
As if reaching out to reach out to the sky, the fire clouds became more and more red and burned, and Mo Yu looked at the little woman in his arms whose cheeks were flushed, bowed slightly, and kissed her lips with cold feelings.
Not as passionate as before, like fire, windswept clouds, not like the night of affection, dense, this kiss and light, like the summer fine goose feathers brushing the tip of people's hearts, itchy, but very happy.
This is a silent world, they have not been so quiet to hug each other and sit on the ground for a long, long time, so watching the sunset change little by little, the clouds drift westward little by little, and the wind is urging unhurriedly behind them, until the sky that belongs to Tongguan City slowly fades away and returns to its usual appearance.
"It's all over." Le Zhengyu's fluttering voice made the hand holding her waist pause, and then slowly tightened.
He leaned his face against her smooth forehead, trying to smell the fragrance in her hair, as if the dust had settled, and he exhaled heavily, yes, it was all gone.
There was once a little person in their lives, who grew up wise and healthy, accompanied them for two years and ten months, and brought countless joys to their lives.
From then on, the little figure is gone, and the joy that exists will be carefully collected by the years, but it is a pain that can never be erased.
Returning from the mountains, Le Zhengyu fainted again, and in the town of Tongguan, which gradually returned to calm, there was a big and small turmoil, the doctor stood indoors, stretched out his hand to put his hand on Le Zhengyu's emaciated wrist, and a steady and powerful pulse came from his fingertips.
"Princess, this is a joy." As the old doctor's words fell, Qi'er, who was guarding the side, exclaimed: "It's you!" ”
After all these years, she still can't forget that day was also such a calm voice, he said that the princess was fine, but she was pregnant, and the old doctor smiled faintly, "Yes! Coincidentally, it's an old man again. ”
Everyone hopes that the pain that has been tormenting the princess and the princess will pass sooner, and the princess is pregnant again, which is a good thing.
But why are they all delicate, hearing the doctor say that she is pregnant, the old people who have been in the palace of the king all sighed in their hearts, "It's just that I pity the son!" And the little maids who had just entered the house were chattering around Le Zhengyu and saying auspicious words, all of which was just like the scene when Jimo Sulang was born three years ago, but the world had already changed.
Since Jimo Sulang left that day and never returned, the fox seemed to sense something, he didn't eat or drink all day, and his body was slowly getting smaller, from the lion-like appearance at the beginning, to now almost pocket-sized, which can be hidden between his sleeves.
Everyone could see that it was a wordless sadness, lying on the bamboo couch where Jimo Sulang used to play all day long, the smoke seemed to have been spit out, if it wasn't for its whimpering cry, no one would have seen that it was a living animal.
The queen mother returned to the imperial city with great fanfare, and the emperor and the queen came out with the palace concubines to greet her.
However, the emperor's face was much worse than when she left, and even a little gray could be seen, the queen mother sighed in her heart, half a day of joy, the concubines said goodbye to the queen mother, and took the little princess and the little prince back to their palaces, and the queen mother was left with only the emperor.
"Mother, you are finally willing to come back, son... Erchen, very happy. ”
Emperor Jimo said these words, as if he had made up his mind, and as if he had exhausted all his strength in just a few words, the Queen Mother smiled and looked at the emperor in front of her, her face was silent, but there was a momentum of controlling the overall situation faintly.
"Emperor, the mother concubine has watched you grow up all the way, the mother concubine knows that you value feelings, are good and loyal, but the emperor is sometimes too benevolent, and it is not what an emperor should have, and those extravagant emotions do not belong to you.
From the day you decide to sit on this mountain, you can no longer have the joyful pleasures of ordinary fathers and children outside the palace, just like all the women who enter this palace, which belong to the emperor, and the emperor seems to have everything and seems to have nothing. ”
The Queen Mother's voice was like a ruthless sword, and her words were serious and long, piercing the heart of Emperor Jimo, and a penetrating coolness pierced through the whole body, freezing the heart for three years, and at that moment, the thin layer of ice was shattered.
"Queen Mother, Erchen knows, Erchen is a little greedy, and he wants to keep that little bit of father-son affection, Erchen retreats first, let the Queen Mother bother, let the Queen Mother rest early!"
The emperor looked compassionate, bowed to the Queen Mother, and turned to leave.
Walking under the silent palace wall, the willow trees inside are scattered out of the wall, covering the vermilion gate high, and behind him is the emperor's royal seat, carried by the palace people, walking very slowly, clearly followed by a large group of palace maids and eunuchs, with knives and guards, but the ground is silent, as if they can't hear the breath of the people present.
"Niangniang, do you mean to let the emperor point the finger at the prince?"
Aunt Ji is the old man next to the Queen Mother, since the first day the Queen Mother entered the palace, Aunt Ji has been waiting by her side, how did the Queen Mother become the Queen Mother from an unknown nobleman to the Queen Mother who is now above 10,000 people under one person, I am afraid that there are some things that even the Queen Mother herself is not clear, but if you ask Aunt Ji, it is clear to remember.
"It's not that this palace is forcing the emperor, it's that this situation is now ready to fly, and I have to send it!" The Queen Mother's expression seemed to be a little tired under the reflection of the night pearl, and it seemed that the Queen Mother was originally like this, holding the Buddha beads back and forth in her hands, as if the old monk was settled.
All the lights in the palace were extinguished, and in this palace, it seemed that everything had returned to peace and tranquility, to the silence of the night.
In the first few months of Le Zhengyu's pregnancy, he was busy with the war and didn't know it, but in the next few months, he was assassinated.
This time, the prince personally guarded, and watched that for nearly three months, Le Zhengyu's morning sickness reaction came as scheduled, frightening the prince who had never known that there was such a painful period for a woman to give birth.
"Princess, just eat a little! How can the body stand it like this? Qi'er stood beside her with a bitter face, holding a fine white porcelain cup fired by an official kiln, with a few faint petals sprinkled inside, and the bird's nest porridge was crystal clear.
As he spoke, Le Zhengyu stroked his chest and was about to vomit again, Ziyi hurriedly stepped forward and raised the small mouthpiece, just retching a few times, forcing Le Zhengyu's tears out instantly, when she was pregnant with Jimo Sulang, she was not so tortured, at that time in Yucheng, it was just a few sour plums in the stomach, and there was no longer any obvious reaction.
"This guy must be a naughty one, I can't stand it like this." Le Zhengyu had tears in his eyes, and his soft appearance was still a little pitiful, lying lazily on the soft collapse.
"Princess, this time it looks like this, it doesn't look like a little princess, but like a little prince!"
Wen Po lived in the house early, that is, Mo Yu arranged for people to watch non-stop all day long, not letting her do this, not letting her do that, in Le Zhengyu's view, it is always easy to change, and her nature is difficult to change.
Jimo Yu was in the way of not letting his princess go out at will, and assigned everything to the Fan brothers, and Le Zhengyu was panicked if he didn't go out for a day, once the pregnant woman's temperament came up, it was something that the Daluo Immortals couldn't stop.
"Yu'er, eat this or eat this?" Jimo Yu held all kinds of bright plums in his hands, thinking of when he was in Yucheng before, Le Zhengyu stuffed a plum in his mouth when he was fine, and Ji Mo Yu went to the Holy Maiden Mountain after finishing his business.
There are special plum breeders, every year all the best plums are sent to Beijing, for the palace ladies to make sour plum juice to cool off the heat, the water drawn down from the snow mountain nourishes these plum trees, has a history of hundreds of years.
If it is an ordinary family, it will not be able to eat, but the prince is now a part, and he came to ask for a few plums to eat for his princess, and the people who watched the plum garden were naturally happy.
