Calamus looked back at the deep temple: "Actually, this is quite good. ”

There is no need to think about escaping from the palace, there is no need to face Sun Wen, and Sun Qi is even more dead.

Perhaps, this is her gladiolus life, right?

Sun Wen stayed in Renming Palace until dark before returning to Chengqian Palace.

Wen Jieyu has been waiting for a long time.

As soon as he saw her, Sun Wen smiled: "I was about to send someone to summon you, but I didn't expect you to come first." ”

Wen Jieyu said: "In the past few days when the emperor has been out of the palace, he must not be used to eating outside, and the concubines specially prepared a few side dishes to adjust the emperor's appetite. ”

Sun Wen looked at the dishes on the table and praised: "It's so fragrant." I didn't have time to change my clothes when I returned to the palace, so I came to eat when I got it. ”

Wen Jieyu turned around and followed him into the inner hall, picked out an autumn-colored regular dress for him to change into, and said half-jokingly: "There is still a faint fragrance on the emperor's body, it must be from the maid in the inner chamberlain." ”

Sun Wen said: "I just discussed with the queen and removed her as a maid and named Concubine An. ”

Wen Jieyu was stunned at first, and then laughed: "Concubine An, it means peace and happiness, it is a good title." ”

"Both I and the Empress consider that she is pregnant, and it will be inconvenient for her to serve as a maid in the chamberlain."

Wen Jieyu held Sun Wen's hand: "In front of the concubines, the emperor doesn't have to hide anything." ”

Sun Wen pulled her to the outside of the hall, sat down at the table, picked up chopsticks and picked up vegetables for her: "I let her stay in the East Palace, others can't go in at will, and she can't come out at will." ”

"What?"

Sun Wen was like a nobody: "Only in this way can she be willing to go back to the palace with me, and only in this way can I feel a little better." ”

Wen Jieyu looked at him with wide eyes: "The emperor rushed from the imperial capital to Gusu after all kinds of hard work, just to be separated from each other from now on?" ”

"Wen Hua," Sun Wen turned his head to look at Wen Jieyu, "A person who will never love me, can I still hold on?" ”

"But she's pregnant with a dragon ......"

Sun Wen slammed the wine bowl with resentment: "In order to be able to leave me, she can even not want this child." Wen Hua, she hates me! It has been ten years since I saw her in Gusu and then in the palace, and what I have gained in the past ten years is her hatred. ”

"She didn't know that the emperor loved her."

"I let Sun Qi go for her, what else does she want me to do?" Speaking of excitement, Sun Wen pounded the table, "Since I was a child, I have never been so distracted from my eyes!" ”

"She didn't know that the emperor did so much because she ......"

Sun Wen took a deep breath and suddenly calmed down: "Yes, she didn't know that I did it for her. Because there is no immortality in her heart. ”

Wen Jieyu only felt sad when she heard this, and tears flowed down unconsciously: "The concubine understands." ”

Sun Wen turned around: "Wen painting." ”

"Sometimes the concubines really envy the calamus, and unconsciously, the emperor has been in love with her for ten years. Ten years, what a long time, she was born when the emperor was a teenager. Wen Hua couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Does the emperor remember?" The first time I saw her, you said that you had never seen such a vicious little girl in your life. ”

Thinking of the past, Sun Wen smiled helplessly: "Yes, it's been ten years." I watched her change from a girl to a woman, watched her love another person like a moth to a flame, watched her keep saying that she hated me. ”

Wen Jieyu stood up and hugged him from the side: "Your Majesty, one day she will understand." ”

Sun Wen didn't push her away: "She will never understand." Wen Hua, what should I do with her? ”

Wen Jieyu bit her lip and looked up at her: "Presumably the emperor has already made a decision in his heart." ”

Sun Wen's face was expressionless: "Yes, I have already made a decision." ”

"The food is cold, and the emperor is hungry, so let's eat a little."

Sun Wen and Yan Yuese: "I talked to you, and I felt a little happier in my heart." ”

Wen Jieyu smiled lightly: "The concubine has always been the emperor's confidant. ”

Sun Wen couldn't help laughing: "What you said is the same as what the Queen Mother said, she always said that she was my confidant." ”

"The Queen Mother?"

Sun Wen said: "It's my aunt." I should have mentioned to you that my mother died young, and my aunt became the queen later. If my aunt hadn't become the queen back then, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had the life to go back to the palace. ”

Wen Jieyu blinked: "The concubine remembered, she didn't forget." But why haven't the concubines seen the Queen Mother since they entered the palace? ”

"She lives in Ciyuan Hall with her father."

"Can the concubine go and say hello to the Emperor and the Queen Mother?"

Sun Wen gave her cloth vegetables: "No need." ”

Wen Jieyu looked at his face and didn't speak again.

The two of them ate for a long time, until the dessert was served, and it was already late at night.

Fu Rongbao came in a few times, and when he saw Wen Jieyu present, he was embarrassed to say anything.

Until Wen Jieyu saw something wrong, she found an excuse to go back first.

Who knew that Sun Wen said: "It's so late, let's stay tonight." said to Fu Rongbao, "Wen Jieyu is not an outsider, just say anything you want." ”

Fu Rongbao smiled: "The slave doesn't want to disturb the emperor and Jieyu, but I'm afraid that it will be bad to delay......"

"Don't hide it, what's the matter?"

"The people over there in the East Palace said that Niangniang hadn't eaten since she returned to the palace."

Sun Wen frowned: "She's starting to lose her temper again?" ”

Fu Rongbao groaned: "I heard that it was uncomfortable, and I didn't get up while lying on the bed." That one...... Does the emperor want to go and see? ”

Seeing that Sun was silent, Wen Jieyu also helped on the side: "Yes, why don't you go and see the emperor?" It's not good if there's really something. ”

"Imperial Doctor Xuan goes to the East Palace."

Fu Rongbao took the order and walked out.

Wen Jieyu asked him softly: "Is the emperor going to the East Palace?" ”

"I'm not a doctor, and it won't work if I go."

"But ......"

"She doesn't want to see me, so why add to her disgust. Besides, why should I be bored? ”

East Palace.

Ping'er lay at the head of the bed: "Niangniang, how are you?" Still uncomfortable? ”

Calamus: "I don't think I can breathe. ”

"The Imperial Doctor is coming soon."

When the imperial doctor came, he hurriedly checked the pulse of the calamus, and muttered: "Niangniang's pulse is relatively weak, but it is quite stable, and it should be fine." ”

Ping'er said anxiously: "But Niangniang can't eat until now." ”

The doctor was over forty years old, sophisticated and calm, and looked at the food on the Lihuamu table: "Remove all these and exchange them for golden silk roasted wheat and salted buffalo beef." ”

Ping'er waved her hand again and again: "Niangniang has a light taste, never eats glutinous rice, and rarely eats meat." ”

The Imperial Doctor knew it clearly: "Listen to me. ”

When they were prepared with golden silk roasted wheat and salted buffalo meat, the calamus smelled the aroma and said, "I seem to be hungry." ”

Ping'er was overjoyed.

The imperial physician smiled and said, "It seems that the child in the mother's womb likes to eat these." ”

Ping'er couldn't help but ask, "How did Imperial Doctor Wang know?" ”

"Because the emperor likes golden silk roasted wheat and salted buffalo beef very much, the child in the belly is like the emperor."

Hearing this, Calamus stopped at the chopsticks and stayed for a while: "The emperor likes to eat golden silk roasted wheat and salted buffalo beef?" ”

"Yes, whenever you drink wine, the imperial dining room will always prepare a salted buffalo beef, and if it is a snack, there must be golden silk roasted wheat. After all these years, the emperor still likes it as always. ”

Calamus didn't know Sun Wen's preference, she subconsciously touched her stomach: "This kind of will also affect the child in the belly of the palace?" ”

"When pregnant, many pregnant women change their eating habits, and that's because of the baby in their womb. In fact, Niangniang should feel relieved, the dragon species in the belly is so like the emperor before it was born, and the emperor must be very happy if he knows. ”

Calamus hooked her lips shallowly: "Ping'er, send Imperial Doctor Wang out." ”

"Yes, sissy."

Sending Imperial Physician Wang out, Fu Rongbao let out a "ho" in the dark, and Ping'er was startled: "Uncle, why are you here?" ”

Fu Rongbao took three steps and made two steps: "Girl! Is there anything wrong with the mother? ”

Ping'er was overjoyed by Imperial Physician Wang's words just now, and couldn't help but tease Fu Rongbao: "Uncle, what about the emperor?" Why didn't he come? Or will I send you to see the situation? ”

Fu Rongbao knocked her chestnut: "Stinky girl!" I snuck out on my own. ”

Ping'er couldn't say disappointed: "Didn't the emperor say he was coming?" ”

"What? Niangniang wants to see the emperor? ”

"Not really."

"Then you ......"

Ping'er hurriedly said: "But just now the imperial doctor said that Niangniang is fine, but she doesn't like to eat the things she used to have." ”

"Huh?" Fu Rongbao didn't react, "What do you mean?" ”

"Because of the dragon seed in her stomach, Niangniang now likes to eat what the emperor loves to eat. Uncle, what do you think the emperor will be happy to know about? ”

Fu Rongbao was shocked: "There is still such a thing? ”

Ping'er stretched out two hands to make an analogy: "The emperor and Niangniang have the same eating habits because of the dragon species, uncle, is this called a little bit of understanding?" ”

Fu Rongbao glanced at her coldly: "Ping'er, do you have a lot of tricks now?" Do you even know everything about your heart? ”

Ping'er hurriedly lowered her head: "Uncle, I was wrong." ”

Fu Rongbao made a look: "Look at what you have learned since entering the palace?" Why don't you hurry in and serve the mother, I'm leaving. ”

"Uncle," Ping'er called to stop him, "will the emperor come to see Niangniang tomorrow?" ”

"Not coming."

"What about the day after tomorrow?"

"Not either."

Ping'er was anxious: "Then when will the emperor come over?" ”

"Maybe it will come, or maybe it won't, who knows."

"Uncle!"

Fu Rongbao said to her: "Ping'er, just do your duty by Niangniang's side, you don't have to worry about her if you are such a smart person." ”

"Yes, uncle."

Quietly returning to Chengqian Palace, Fu Rongbao was tiptoeing in, but Sun Wenzheng looked at him, he hurriedly smiled: "It turns out that the emperor hasn't slept yet." ”

"Wen Jieyu went back, and I was watching the twists and turns that had been put on hold in the past few days. You've come back just in time to make me a pot of tea. ”

Fu Rongbao went over to get the teapot: "The slave just went to the East Palace." ”

"Hmm." Sun Wen didn't care.

"Mother, she ......"

"It's okay, you don't have to tell me in detail." Sun Wen raised his head, "I have eaten the wine, go make tea." ”

Fu Rongbao had to swallow back what he wanted to say: "The slave will go." ”

Renming Palace, Su Ruyuan had just coaxed Yan'er to sleep when someone walked in outside, and she made a gesture to signal them to go out and talk again.

When she got outside, she asked, "What do you say?" ”

"Back to the queen's mother, the emperor has ordered Concubine An to be placed in the East Palace, and no one is allowed to enter and leave at will. So what is the current situation in the East Palace, the minions don't know. ”

Su Ruyuan muttered to herself: "No one is allowed to come and go at will? What kind of play is this? ”

The palace maid on the side, Duyun, said: "Niangniang, could this be a measure taken by the emperor to protect Concubine An?" ”

Su Ruyuan sneered: "This concubine, you are calling it well." ”

Twilight lowered her head, "Niangniang, the slave doesn't mean anything else......"

"But what you said also makes sense, this may be the emperor's measure to protect her." Su Ruyuan looked at the bright moonlight, "There is Wen Jieyu of unknown origin in this palace, and there is also a clever Tang calamus, and even the palace secretly sweats." ”

Twilight Cloud comforted: "After all, Niangniang is the master of the harem, and now that the little prince is by her side, they don't dare to do anything." ”

"Is it possible? The emperor did not hesitate to chase after Gusu to find her back for Tang Calamus, and she is now pregnant, such a bomb is dormant in the East Palace, and the palace has to be a little afraid. ”

"Niangniang means ......"

Su Ruyuan secretly clenched his fists, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Tang Calamus, this palace gives you a chance to leave, and you want to come back, so don't blame this palace for turning its face and being ruthless!" ”

After staying in the East Palace for a full month, there was a little life growing up day by day in the belly of the calamus, and the peace made her feel that she was isolated from the world.

In addition to the change in her mood, her taste has also changed completely, and all the dishes in the dining room are made for her according to Sun Wen's taste, and she eats with relish. Ping'er always joked: "There is a little emperor who is mischievous in the belly of the mother." ”

At first, Calamus was very unaccustomed to telling such jokes, but gradually got used to it.

She had even lost the strength to resist. Because no matter what he does, he can't escape Sun Wen's control.

On this day, the iris walked outside for a while, felt sweaty and walked into the house, and as soon as she walked in, she smelled a burst of flowers: "Ping'er, what did you put in the house?" ”

Ping'er poured warm boiling water for her: "The slave knows that the mother doesn't like the fragrance, how dare she put anything in it." ”

"What is that......" Before she could finish speaking, Calamus saw the window at the back of the house open, and the large white gladiolus blooming luxuriantly outside, and she was stunned.

Ping'er hurriedly closed the window: "It turned out to be the fragrance of gladiolus." ”

Only then did the calamus come back to her senses: "I didn't expect the gladiolus to open so quickly." ”

Ping'er helped her sit down and handed her the teacup: "Because the Dragon Boat Festival is coming, the gladiolus is almost open." ”

Calamus sighed: "So fast? ”

In her memory, she seemed to still feel the breeze in Gusu, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

"Yes," Ping'er said with a smile, "Speaking of which, the slave maid remembers that Niangniang's birthday is also approaching." ”

"Hmm." Calamus responded, "Coincidentally, the day I was born happened to be the Dragon Boat Festival, and my father named Calamus." So I will never forget my birthday. ”

Ping'er muttered: "I don't know if the emperor will have a surprise for Niangniang." ”

Calamus heard it and said lightly: "How can it be? ”

In the Dragon Boat Festival, the palace is filled with the smell of sachets, calamus made a few extremely delicate small sachets and distributed them to the palace people in the East Palace, the sachets are all red, and the needlework is Su embroidery.

She also made one for herself, hanging it at the head of the bed to repel mosquitoes and evil spirits.

"Niangniang, you can rest for a while and have some snacks."

Calamus stood up: "Maybe because of pregnancy, I'm really hungry." ”

As soon as she sat down, a voice came from outside: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

I didn't expect Sun Wen to come, and Calamus was stunned for a moment.

He walked in from the outside, and when he saw the calamus sitting there, he was stunned for a moment.

Calamus hurriedly stood up and saluted: "The concubine sees the emperor." ”

Sun Wen looked at her from below, she was still the same as always, but her stomach was obviously rounded.

Seeing him staring at himself, Calamus subconsciously blocked it with her hand: "I didn't know that the emperor would come, the concubines were disappointed, and I hope the emperor will forgive the sins." ”

Sun Wen avoided his gaze: "I came today to do business. ”

He specifically emphasized that it was a serious matter, as if he wanted to cover it up.

Calamus said: "I don't know what the concubine can do?" ”

Sun Wen paced slowly: "Since you stepped down as the female official of the inner chamberlain, the inner servant bureau has been a little chaotic. You also know that the responsibilities of the Inner Chamberlain Bureau are huge, and you can't go without the Chamberlain for a day, I want to ask you, is there a favorite person to take on the important responsibility? ”

Calamus replied: "There are a large number of people in the palace of the Inner Chamberlain, and the matter is complicated, so we must choose a person with deep qualifications to serve as the inner attendant." Looking at the current situation, the concubine felt that it was best to choose between Gulan and Rong Ruo. ”

Sun Wen groaned: "The two of them have been in the internal service bureau for a long time, so it is feasible to choose one." Then he looked at Calamus, "You have been in the Inner Service Bureau for a while, and I ask you, if it were you, who would you prefer?" ”

"This concubine can't say for sure, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and the sea is difficult to measure, and the clues can't be seen overnight."

"Let's play." Sun Wen made a decision, "It's up to you to preside, and choose one between Gu Lan and Rong Ruo to take on this role." ”

Calamus promised: "The concubine obeys." ”

She didn't go against him, nor did she refuse, but agreed to it, accustomed to her persistence and indifference, and suddenly being so obedient made Sun Wen a little unaccustomed.

He gestured to her stomach: "How are you doing?" ”

"Everything is fine, Emperor Xie cares."

Sun Wen said "um": "What do you need to send someone to add." ”

"Your Majesty."

"Then I'll go first."

"Congratulations to the emperor."

Walking outside, Sun Wenwu stopped and looked at the wormwood and calamus on both sides of the door: "What day is today?" ”

Calamus blurted out: "It's the Dragon Boat Festival." ”

Ping'er also blurted out: "It's Niangniang's birthday." ”

The two spoke in unison.

Sun Wen said "oh": "It's your birthday?" ”

Calamus smiled calmly: "In the morning, the dining room prepared longevity noodles, and the concubines have already eaten them." ”

Sun Wen didn't speak anymore and left with someone.

Calamus turned around and pretended to scold: "Ping'er, you are too talkative." ”

Ping'er pouted: "The slave maid wants the emperor to accompany the mother." ”

Calamus glared at her and kept silent.

After Sun Wen left, Calamus only ate a little bit of heart and lay down on the bed to rest. As if he was sleeping, he was startled when he saw Sun Wen coming in from outside: "Why is the emperor here?" ”

Sun Wen handed her the bowl: "Try it and see if my craftsmanship has grown?" ”

At first glance, the calamus is sweet potato porridge.

Looking at the hot sweet potato porridge, Calamus looked at Sun Wen in dismay: "The emperor hasn't left because he's boiling sweet potato porridge?" ”

"Today is your birthday, and I don't have anything to prepare, so I'll make you a bowl of porridge to celebrate."

He deliberately said it lightly, but how could he actually forget about this day?

Ten years on, he never forget.

Seeing that she was stunned, Sun Wen handed her a spoon again: "Just look at the child's face in the belly, eat a little." ”

Calamus suddenly had a sour nose and tried her best to keep calm: "Concubine Xie Lord Longen." ”

Sun Wen watched her eat and asked, "How does it taste?" ”

"Sweet and delicious."

Sun Wen smiled and walked over to open the window: "This garden full of gladias is open." ”

Calamus stepped down from the bed and approached him: "Yes, they are all white flower seeds, very beautiful." ”

Sun Wen said: "In the past, I would row a small wooden boat to see the gladiolus in the garden, and it was a happy thing to think about. ”

The calamus looked outside, gladiolus was planted on both banks, and if she didn't look carefully, she couldn't find a small river in the middle, so she asked curiously, "Where does this little river lead?" ”

Sun Wen lowered his face suddenly: "Nowhere does it lead." ”

Calamus looked at his face and felt that something was wrong, so she didn't ask any more, she deliberately opened the topic: "Gladiolus is difficult to breed, and it is really not easy for the emperor to make the garden bloom, it must have taken a lot of effort." ”

"Yes, at the beginning, all the gladiolus I planted died, and I didn't give up, so I tried again and again."

"The emperor really has a heart."

"Do you know why I grow so many gladiolus?"

Calamus shook her head: "The concubine doesn't know." ”

Sun Wen looked at her, turned his head after a while and said, "I remember that once I had an injury on my body, I accidentally fell on the ground and couldn't get up, I stretched out my hand to ask someone to help me, and a person said to me, how to fall and how to get up, don't think that others can help." I was stubborn, and I stood up with all my strength. ”

Speaking of this, he actually laughed.

Calamus was shocked: "The emperor is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and someone dares to say such a rebellious thing." ”

Sun Wen couldn't help but smile at the corners of his lips: "Do you also think that such words are rebellious?" ”

"Yes." Calamus frowned slightly, "But what does this have to do with the emperor planting so many gladiolus?" ”

Sun Wen glanced at his eyes: "It doesn't matter, I just suddenly thought of something and said it casually." ”

"Oh."

Sun Wen closed the window: "The aroma of so many gladiolus will inevitably spread, if you don't like it, close the window." It's not too early, it's time for me to go, and it's up to you to elect the lady-in-waiting. ”

"The concubine obeys."

Sending him to the door, Calamus suddenly stopped him: "Your Majesty ......"

"What's the matter?"

Calamus gestured to the bowl on the table with her eyes: "Thank you for your sweet potato porridge." ”

Sun Wen smiled and left without saying anything more.

This night, Calamus had insomnia.

She caressed her slightly bulging belly, and her heart was mixed.

I never thought that I would be in today's situation, no matter what, I can't escape and can't escape, but in the palace, not to mention that I am a vain concubine, even if I want to protect this child, how can I escape the grasp of people with hearts?

Su Ruyuan, Wen Jieyu......

Just because they're all on the move doesn't mean they're safe with their children. On the contrary, the calmer the surroundings, the more dangerous it is secretly. Although she didn't want to do anything these days, she already keenly felt a faint aura of danger around her.

After all these years in the palace, she has long since distrusted anyone.

She had to find a way out for herself and her children.

Late at night, Calamus called Ping'er: "What time is it now?" ”

Ping'er looked worriedly: "Niangniang, it's the second watch now." ”

Counting the hours, Sun Wen should not have slept yet. Calamus took out a new sachet from the bedside: "You go to Chengqian Palace now and give this to the emperor." ”

Ping'er took over: "Niangniang...... This ......"

Calamus is only dressed in pink silk, and she has a delicate face and white skin unique to Jiangnan women...... At this moment, it looks like a painting, and it is very beautiful. She said to Ping'er: "Give it to the emperor and tell him that this sachet is a thank you and a heart from the palace." Ask him to take it. ”
