The queen is more than three months pregnant. For this reason, the emperor specially pointed out a group of new palace people from the Internal Affairs Office to serve in Fengluan Palace. For this unborn child, there was a joy both inside and outside the palace. And this joy is a little sadder for Chang'an.

Since she learned the truth that day, she didn't resent Zhong Yuxiu like that.

Because compared to Zhong Yuxiu, Chu Luo probably cares more about the queen.

Because she is his wife, she is the only woman he is marrying, and the bright red color used on her wedding night is something that Chang'an and others never dare to hope for.

After all, in the eyes of the world, only Li Shushen is Chu Luo's wife, and she, Shen Chang'an, is just a favorite concubine at best. She once told him that she wanted to be a favorite concubine for the rest of her life. But now I found out that she was wrong. She also wants to be his wife, to stand by his side and stand hand in hand with him.

And now, Li Shushen has his child. It was another woman who had Chuluo's child.

Only the children she gave birth to can be called sisters-in-law, and they are the children who are most qualified to inherit the throne.

Chang'an smiled bitterly, walked into the makeup box of the dormitory, took out a jade hosta that had never been worn before, and put it on the palm of his hand.

This hosta was given to her by Chu Luo when Chang'an first entered the palace. She also learned later that Li Shushen had been interested in this hosta for a long time, but Chang'an only mentioned it slightly, and Chu Luo gave it to her without thinking.

The lotus was originally two lotus flowers that grew side by side on the same stem. Take the righteousness as a winged bird in heaven and a branch on the ground. Chu Luo gave it to her, it must have a deep meaning.

Now, Li Shushen has a son, but Chang'an wants to return this hosta to her hands - in fact, this is also her thing.

And Dilian, she Shen Changan couldn't ask for it.

In the Fengluan Palace, Li Shushen was leaning on the couch with a scroll, and Yuzhi stepped forward with a velvet embroidered carpet and said with a smile, "The slave maid and Miaochun have just finished counting the rewards sent by the Internal Affairs Office today, and there are eighty-eight large pieces!" Niangniang is really a blessing, the emperor treats Niangniang so well, and now there is a little prince, which can be regarded as bittersweet. ”

The queen showed a little joy, put her fingers on her lower abdomen, and muttered, "I don't know if it's the prince or the emperor......

Yuzhi covered her mouth and smiled, "It's only been three months, and the days to come are still long, and the slave feels that it must be the prince." Even if she is the emperor, she is also the emperor's concubine, and the emperor likes it very much. Niangniang just looked at the Shuyi Emperor Ji and knew that the emperor was not yet four years old, so she could attract the emperor's pain. ”

Thinking like this, the queen couldn't help but soften in her heart, "The palace can have today, in fact, thanks to Zhong Jieyu." If it weren't for her prescription, this kid would have come so quickly. ”

Thinking of Zhong Yuxiu, Shushen's heart was also slightly gloomy. In the past, she didn't look down on Zhong Yuxiu, and she was even suspicious of the prescription she gave. But since she became pregnant, Li Shushen has been very affectionate to Zhong Yuxiu. After all, nothing is more important than a child. Zhong Yuxiu gave her such a big gift, although she had long been suspicious of Zhong Yuxiu's sudden favor, but because of the arrival of this child, she also turned a blind eye to it.

Yuzhi saw that the queen was deep in thought, and said with a slight smile, "Zhong Jieyu is also sincere to her mother." ”

After saying that, Yuzhi suddenly saw the curtain shadow outside, and then flashed into a delicate figure.

The queen and Yuzhi looked at each other and smiled, and the queen said, "Bengong just talked about my sister, and my sister came here." ”

When Yuxiu heard this, there was a bit of joy between her eyebrows, "What can my sister say about me?" Saying that, without waiting for the queen to answer, she still sat down beside the queen and said affectionately, "My sister has a happy event, and my sister has not officially congratulated my sister. ”

The queen smiled gracefully, "Sister Zhong has sent a lot of congratulatory gifts, why is it not a formal congratulations?" ”

Yuxiu pursed her lips and said with a smile, "When my sister came here just now, I saw a lot of things piled up outside the palace, and my sister knew that her own things were not as valuable as the emperor's reward. ”

The queen smiled and took Yuxiu's hand and patted the back of her hand gently, "My sister has already given the best gift to this palace, what else does this palace want?" ”

Yuxiu's heart was relieved, and Shushen was alluding to the birth of a child, and the bottom of her eyes sank, and it was fleeting, "My sister is serious, my sister has a child, and it is also a happy event for my sister." Immediately, she called Lan Xiang and said, "Go and bring the gifts from the palace to the queen." ”

Lan Xiang answered and went down. Yuxiu turned to the queen and said, "Yilan Hall is really worthy of being a residence personally rewarded by the emperor, the wind and water are good, and even the flowers are so good, which is incomparable to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion in the past." Naturally, my sister doesn't lack anything here, so my sister gave my sister some Xifu begonias for my sister to enjoy, and it is also excellent to relieve boredom. ”

The queen listened to her words and showed off her honor, although she was displeased, but the smile on her face was still docile and proper, "My sister really has a heart." ”

Suddenly, she lowered her eyes slightly, as if she had something important to say, she retreated from the people around her, and whispered to Zhong Yuxiu, "I heard in this palace that the emperor has not been to the palace of the virtuous concubine for several months, and he has never turned over the sign of the virtuous concubine. The emperor often goes to his sister's place, and my sister should know why, right? ”

Yuxiu heard the queen talk about Shen Chang'an, although her eyebrows were pure and introverted, her words were as cold as ice, "If you want me to see, it's not that day when the virtuous concubine collided with the emperor and made the emperor angry." Although the emperor protects her on the surface, he still has a problem in his heart. ”

The queen frowned slightly when she heard this, "Is that really the case?" ”

Yu Xiu's beautiful eyes were lightly raised, with a little meaningful smile, "That's not it." On weekdays, if our sisters dare to disobey the emperor, this virtuous concubine is good, not only verbally collided with the emperor, but even injured the emperor. With the emperor's affection for her, she thought that she could do whatever she wanted, and the gentleman's grace was like flowing water, but she still didn't understand this reason. ”

Zhong Yuxiu said lightly, but these words pierced Li Shushen's heart like a needlepoint. Jun's grace is like flowing water, and she also understands this truth. Today's favor is only temporary, and one day she will become today's virtuous concubine, and even a virtuous concubine is not as good as her seven-year husband and wife with the emperor, and she can see that he still loves Shen Chang'an deeply.

After thinking about it, Lan Xiang had already brought up a pot of begonia flowers.

Yuxiu picked one casually and put it on the side of the queen's face, and said with a clever smile, "Only this Xifu begonia can be worthy of my sister's graceful and luxurious appearance." ”

Li Shushen looked at a very gorgeous begonia tree, but it was difficult to smile on her face.

Suddenly, the bead curtain came together, and the palace maid reported that the virtuous concubine was coming.

The queen was also taken aback, glanced at Zhong Yuxiu's cold face slightly, and said slowly, "Call her in." ”

When Shen Changan walked into the Fengluan Palace, the queen and Zhong Jieyu both sat in the palace and talked and laughed.

Seeing this scene, Chang'an couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, and then quickly covered up the look on his face, and bowed his head gently, "The queen mother is safe." ”

The moment she lowered her head, she heard Zhong Jieyu's snort, she didn't dare to raise her head for a long time, a pair of emerald pearl earrings swept lightly across her snow-white cheeks, and Chang'an only felt that her face was hot and scorching.

Zhong Yuxiu glanced at her coldly, and only got up after a while, revealing a shallow and faint smile, "Concubine Xian Niangniang Jin'an." Instead, she faced the queen with a very modest smile, "The concubine is tired, so she won't bother her sister and the virtuous concubine." ”

After that, Zhong Yuxiu walked out of Fengluan Palace with Lan Xiang's hand, and when she passed by Chang'an's side, Chang'an clearly saw that her face showed that proud and invincible aura - just like when Shen Chang'an first entered the palace, he was favored for the first time.

After a while, the queen said quietly, "Concubine Xian, don't just stand, sit down." ”

Without waiting for Chang'an to answer, Miaochun had already taken a screen-backed chair and placed it on Chang'an's side.

And Chang'an didn't mean to stay for a long time, and thanked politely, "Don't trouble the queen, the concubine came today to congratulate the mother with a congratulatory gift." ”

After that, Evening Fragrance walked to the hall with a hardwood makeup box, and she was blessed.

Li Shushen opened it and looked at it, and after only one glance, he remembered this jade hosta.

This hosta is of high quality, it is cast from the best jadeite that was paid tribute that year, the jade body is transparent, the color is pure, Li Shushen, who was still the princess of Lin'an back then, only glanced at it, and has always remembered this hairpin. Before she could open her mouth to the prince, the prince gave this hosta to Shen Changan - it was only the first day she had just entered the palace.

Although the hosta is small, the love is heavy. That one flower and one lotus, Li Shushen didn't understand the meaning.

Now seeing this hairpin again, it seems to remind Li Shushen of the old past when she was not favored in the palace. At this time, she was the queen and conceived a dragon descendant, but she still wanted Shen Changan to give it away, and when she thought of this, she could no longer calm the grief and anger in her heart.

But in the end, the queen is still from the princes and nobles, even if she is full of resentment at the moment, she still has a smile on her face, and said slowly: "Concubine Xian has a heart." ”

Chang'an was blessed with a blessed body, and he didn't plan to stay longer, so he went out of the palace with an evening incense.

As soon as she left, the queen turned her head and caught a glimpse of the pot of Xifu begonias, looked back and whispered to Miaochun, "Take out this pot of flowers and dispose of them, don't put them in the dormitory." ”

Miao Chun was stunned when she heard this, and said honestly, "Niangniang, this is ......"

The queen's eyes were deep, and she opened her lips slightly, "She is now favored, and she has begun to put up a shelf, what does the palace want her to do with a pot of flowers?" It's an eyesore to look at. ”

Miaochun nodded lightly, already understood what the queen meant, and went out with a begonia.

As soon as she went around to the apse, she saw Chang'an and evening incense. The two walked slowly, and Fang went out of the main hall, and just happened to walk to the apse.

Miao Chun was suddenly startled, and leaned down, "I've seen Concubine Xian." ”

Chang'an bowed his head slightly, smiling widely, "Miss Miaochun, where are you going?" ”

When Miao Chun heard Chang'an call herself like this, her face was slightly embarrassed, and she hurriedly replied humbly, "The slave is about to help the queen mother dispose of this pot of begonias." ”

When Chang'an heard this, his eyes fell on the Xifu begonia in Miaochun's hand. The begonia is the best variety, and it blooms even more brilliantly at this time, looking at such a good flower to be thrown away, Chang'an can't help but ripple in his heart.

With a shallow smile, she quietly said to Miaochun, "Flowers are also planted by people, and they are all living things after all." Wouldn't it be a shame to throw it away in vain? Why don't you give it to Hongu? ”

Miao Chunju was taken aback, and blindly lowered her head and said, "Niangniang is really lifting the slave, if Niangniang likes it, just take it." ”

Chang'an smiled gently, looked back and called, "Evening fragrance, help the palace take the begonias back to the palace." ”
