"Then I'll thank you for my sister-in-law first!" Grandma Xu said with a smile.

"I'm going to see you when you say these kind words to me!" Du Mingxin also smiled.

She likes the Xu family very much, the Guogong couple is deeply affectionate, the three sons in the family are brothers, friends and brothers, and the three concubines are also harmonious. If he has a daughter, it can be regarded as a good destination to marry into the Xu family.

The thought flashed, Du Ming's heart was slammed, and before he knew it, his parents' hearts had become so heavy!

After the Chinese New Year, spring ploughing begins. According to the Zhou rites, the Son of Heaven should worship the heavens in the spring, and the queen should accompany him, and personally preside over the silkworm ceremony, which is the case in all dynasties.

Since Chen Yuantai ascended the throne, the spring festival in the suburbs of Beijing has been held twice, both accompanied by the queen. Concubine De was reluctant to follow the queen, looking at her face, she sent her, so she used the excuse of serving the queen mother and never went.

This time, the palace still prepared according to the rules of the emperor and queen traveling, and the wife did not accompany the servants, but there was an extra Qian Yulan before leaving.

The queen listened to the report of the palace people, and her heart was blocked as if a wall had been built.

Since the birth of the fourth prince, she and Chen Yuantai have been cold and indifferent. Although she was also angry and said that she would return to the bridge with him in the future, in the end, she only had Chen Yuantai, a husband in this life, and she gave her the glory of her mother's honor in the world.

The queen originally took the opportunity of this sacrifice in the suburbs of Beijing to persuade Chen Yuantai to go to the Zizhu Zen Monastery outside the city to live for three days, and the emperor and queen personally prayed for the frail four princes. She also gave in softly when the two were alone, so that Chen Yuantai changed his mind.

Now Qian Yulan can't stay in the palace to raise the fetus with peace of mind, what are you running around?

The palace man who came to report the news saw that the queen's face was not good, so he added twelve points of caution and continued: "The emperor said that Zhaorong was pregnant and thought a lot, and went to live in the Zen courtyard together, so as to drive away evil spirits and calm down......"

The queen waved her hand and let her go down.

Gui Yue stepped forward, knelt lightly on the pedal to beat the queen's legs, and asked in a low voice: "Niangniang, do you want to send someone to the Zen courtyard to say something first, and arrange Zhaorong's residence far away from the emperor?" ”

The corners of the queen's mouth moved slightly, and finally she still felt that she couldn't afford to lose this person, and said tiredly: "Forget it, live farther and closer, if the emperor wants her to accompany her, it's just a matter of effort for someone to lift the soft chariot, and what can hinder it!" ”

Gui Yue nodded yes, and continued to beat her legs silently, and there was no sound in Kunning Palace for a while.

At this moment, Qian Yulan was happily watching people pack up their cages in Jingren Palace.

"Don't bring that small incense burner with roses and purple from the Jun kiln," Qian Yulan said with a smile, "Go to live in the Zen courtyard, this color is too bright." I remember that some time ago, the emperor sent a brother kiln green glaze, and the lotus petals burned on it, this time it is not appropriate to bring it? ”

Qing Dai, the palace maid who came from Jinling with her, said with a smile: "The emperor used to advise you to burn less incense even if you are pregnant. ”

Another palace maid, Indiyue, said with a smile: "It's not because Zhaorong likes incense!" What are you thinking about, the emperor is thinking about it! ”

Qian Yulan's heart was sweet, and she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "Hurry up and clean up, don't be poor anymore!" ”

Indigo then smiled and said, "But the emperor is really thinking about our palace!" In previous years, no one in the harem of the suburbs except the queen followed, but this year, as soon as you said that you wanted to pray for the unborn little prince, the emperor immediately asked someone to prepare your car. ”

Qian Yulan pursed her lips, helped the hands of the palace people beside her to get up, and said with a smile: "Qing Dai will follow me to the side hall to copy the scroll again, Indigo Yue, you are so good to watch people clean up." ”

The two hurriedly saluted and received their orders.

The scene of the suburban festival was grand and magnificent, but Qian Yulan never saw it. Because she was pregnant, Chen Yuantai sent her to Zizhu Monastery first, and he and the queen moved in with a huge honor guard in the evening.

This Zizhu Monastery was built by the Queen Mother after entering Beijing, and it is the royal temple with the highest specifications. The queen originally wanted to go to the prestigious Inspiration Temple in the capital, but Chen Yuantai didn't want to disturb the people, so the two had to compromise and come here.

In the past three days, the Zizhu Zen Temple has been praying for the blessings of the four princes during the day, and the mansion is quiet and the cigarette smoke is curling. The emperor and queen recited the peace sutra for half an hour in the morning and afternoon every day, and the rest of the time was spent chanting and praying for blessings by the nuns in the temple.

On the first day of her arrival, Qian Yulan offered her hand-copied scriptures in front of Jizo Bodhisattva. Because she was pregnant, she couldn't kneel for a long time, so she only offered incense and prayed in front of the Buddha once a day in the morning and evening.

On the evening of the third day, Chen Yuantai accompanied Qian Yulan out of incense, and the moon in early spring had quietly climbed up the treetops.

"It's fifteen today, and the moon must be full at night." Qian Yulan pointed to the moon in the sky and smiled.

"Do you want to come out at night to admire the moon?" Chen Yuantai looked at her with a smile.

"yes, yes!" Qian Yulan was very happy, thought about it, and said with a smile, "Although everything is not as complete as in the palace here, the concubine brought the plum tea we made together a few years ago, as well as the sandalwood that you rewarded the concubine." Tonight, the emperor accompanies the concubines to admire the moon, and the concubines cook tea, burn incense, and stroke the piano to help you have fun, do you think it's okay? ”

"Naturally, it's wonderful." Chen Yuantai smiled gently.

He has always been indulgent to Qian Yulan's elegant little hobbies, as if he was messing around with her like this, and he returned to the teenage years of his dreams.

Qian Yulan instructed the palace people to fetch the corresponding things, turned around and saw the solemn hall, and suddenly her heart moved, and the poem "On the seventh day of July, the Palace of Eternal Life, when no one whispered in the middle of the night", came to her mind.

There was a surge of enthusiasm in her chest, she stroked her slightly bulging abdomen with one hand, held Chen Yuantai's hand with the other, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you come with your concubines." After saying that, he couldn't help but pull Chen Yuantai into the main hall.

After the two stood still in front of the Buddha, Qian Yulan held Chen Yuantai's generous hands, looked at him with a pair of starry eyes, and said: "The concubine grew up in the deep palace since she was a child, and because her parents spoiled her, she didn't know anything about the personnel, so she would only spend the moon and watch the lights and make up ......."

"When the family and country were shattered, the concubines also thought about dying. I didn't know that I could be blessed by a hero like the emperor in this life," she lowered her head and smiled and stroked her abdomen, "There is also the blessing to accompany the emperor and give birth to a child with the blood of you and me......"

The beauty is so tender, Chen Yuantai is also a little moved in his heart. He was about to say something, but Qian Yulan pulled up her skirt, knelt on the futon in front of the incense case, and prayed softly: "The believer Qian's life is like a drifter, fortunately blessed by the Bodhisattva, she can serve the emperor." ”

Her voice paused for a moment, and then continued: "The believer made a grand wish to the Bodhisattva, if she can compete with the emperor in this life, the believer wishes to burn incense and chant sutras every day, and mold the golden body of the Bodhisattva every year. ”

Hearing the words "Biyi Lianli", what Chen Yuantai wanted to say was blocked in his throat, but Qian Yulan turned around and looked at him expectantly.
