Chapter Eighty-Eight: Chang Xuan
The autumn sun is long, and Chang'an has been favored since the day she became pregnant. As the queen's wind and cold gradually healed, the power of the harem returned to her hands. But Chang'an didn't pay attention to it, with this little life in her womb, she seemed to feel that everything in this world was no longer so important.
Outside the Chonghua Palace, Chu Luo ordered people to plant peach blossoms one by one, so that when the child is born in the spring of the next year, he can show his spring buds.
Chonghua, Chonghua, really responded to its resounding name.
Early in the morning, there was a jubilant atmosphere at the door, and Chang'an was just about to get up to look, but he heard two familiar and immature voices suddenly coming from outside the hall.
"Eldest sisterβ"
Chang'an looked at Changxuan and Changle running towards her together, she looked at the figures of the two, and almost cried with joy.
"Why are you here?" Chang'an pulled Changxuan with one hand, and took Changle on the other wall, and he was so excited for a while.
Changxuan smiled and cried, held Chang'an's hand tightly, and said excitedly, "The emperor called us here, saying that he was afraid that the eldest sister would be lonely in the palace, so he asked us to accompany the eldest sister." Oh yes, the second brother and the third brother are going to enter the palace in a few days, I originally wanted to wait for them together, but after thinking about it, I still wanted to see the eldest sister earlier, so I came with Changle first......" Changxuan Yibi said, and Yibi took things out from the package he carried, "My mother said, the eldest sister lacks nothing in the palace, and the only thing I miss is probably the food in our hometown, and my mother has made a lot of it, and asked me to bring it to the eldest sister." β
She took out the things the same, tired and sweaty, and when she saw it, she couldn't help but say, "The slave maid will help the second lady." β
Changxuan's face was slightly red, but she was not emotional, so she let Wanxiang intervene. Chang'an looked at it with a smile on the side, and suddenly saw that Changle's face was a little unhappy, so he pulled her to his side and asked softly, "Why is Changle unhappy?" β
Changle was ten years old at the time, and she looked like Chang'an when she was young, she pursed her lips and said unhappily, "It's not only Aunt Lan who loves the eldest sister, but my mother also misses the eldest sister...... Merely...... It's just ......"
Chang'an heard Changle mention her mother, and her heart was slightly gloomy, she had always had a very unfamiliar relationship with her mother, so she was also accustomed to her mother's coldness, but when she saw Changle looking like this now, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed, she gently pinched Changle's face, and said with a smile, "The snacks made in the small kitchen here are delicious, wait for the eldest sister to ask Sister Hanyan to take you to eat, okay?" β
As he spoke, Chang'an raised his head and glanced at Han Yan, who immediately greeted him with a smile and stretched out his hand to lead Changle, "Third Miss, come here." When Changle turned his head, Han Yan glanced at her face, couldn't help laughing, and joked with a smile, "Master, you see that the third lady really looks like you, and she is carved out of a mold." β
Chang An chuckled, Changle and her are sisters of the same father and mother, so they naturally look more alike. Thinking like this, Chang An handed Changle's little hand to Hanyan's palm, and said with a gentle smile, "Good, Changle, let Sister Hanyan take you to eat." β
Changle glanced at Chang'an, suddenly withdrew his hand, and the whole person lay on Chang'an's lap, and said more and more unhappily, "I don't want a palace maid to take me there." β
As soon as these words came out, Han Yan's smile immediately froze at the corners of his mouth, and he timidly turned his face away to look at Chang'an.
Chang'an was angry in his heart, and said unconsciously angrily, "Changle, how can you talk like this?" Apologize to Sister Hanyan. β
Changle stubbornly turned his head to the side and refused to look at her again, "Don't, I'm the master, she's a slave, why should I apologize to her?" β
At this time, there was no smile on Chang'an's face, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into an awkwardness. Seeing this, Chang Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to take Chang Le's hand, and said in a round field, "Chang Le, can the second sister take you there?" β
Changle held Changxuan's hand and finally nodded. Wanxiang was slightly stunned, and immediately made a way, "Second Miss, Third Miss, please come here." β
When Changxuan led Changle's figure and gradually walked away, Chang An sighed softly, looked at Hanyan, and said a little apologetically, "Don't be surprised, my mother's Changle is only old when she is old, and she must be pampered, don't take it to heart." β
Han Yan had a reluctant smile on his face, but the smile only twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, and he didn't mean anything sincerely, "The slave maid was originally a palace maid who served people, and the third lady didn't get in the way if she said a word." β
When Chang'an heard this, he frowned and said, "How should you say this?" Changle is young, and he has no intention of saying a word, you don't want to go to your heart. You have been in love with this palace for eight years, you are like a sister, how can you just be an ordinary palace maid? β
Hearing this, Han Yan smiled slightly, "With the master's words, the slave and maid will be content." β
Chang'an held Hanyan's hand, there was deep gratitude and emotion in his eyes, and he couldn't help but comfort him gently, "Your age is not young, you will be twenty-two years old this year, and it is already the age to leave the cabinet, you can rest assured, this palace will definitely help you find a good family and marry you in style." β
When Han Yan heard Chang'an say this, a trace of crimson immediately flashed on his face, and he bowed his head shyly, "The slave still wants to serve the master for a few more years......
"It's only a matter of time before men get married and women get married." The smile on Chang'an's face gradually became a little warmer, "Hanyan, you tell this palace, do you have someone you like?" β
As soon as Han Yan heard this, his face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly wanted to hide backwards, "Where is it, the master should stop making fun of the slave and maid!" β
Chang An smiled slightly, looking at Han Yan like this, she suddenly remembered Wanxiang and He Sheng, and her heart trembled.
Thinking like this, the Xiangfei bamboo curtain at the door was lightly beaten, but someone came in.
The person who came was Zhu Zheng from Tai Hospital. As soon as he came in, Shi Shiran saluted Chang'an and said respectfully, "Weichen has heard that Chonghua Hall is very lively, is it a guest from the palace of the concubine?" β
Chang An smiled lightly and said, "It's just that the two younger sisters of the palace are here, so it's also extra lively." β
As soon as Chang Xuanfu entered the hall, he saw Zhu Zheng here, his face was slightly red, and he unconsciously turned his head to look at Chang'an.
A smile appeared on Chang'an's lips, and he said warmly, "This is the chief physician Zhu of the Tai Hospital, the imperial doctor, and this is the second sister of the palace, Shen Changxuan." The younger one is the little sister of the palace, Shen Changle. β
When Zhu Zheng heard this, he immediately came back to his senses and bowed his hand to the two, "Under Zhu Zheng, I have seen the second and third misses." β
Chang Xuan's face turned red, and he immediately said, "Lord Zhu doesn't need to be polite. β
Changle just glanced at Zhu Zheng with his eyes, and suddenly shook off Changxuan's hand and sat down beside Chang'an.
Zhu Zheng raised his head and looked at Changxuan, his eyes were a little dull. This look fell on Han Yan's eyes, and he couldn't help laughing, and quipped, "Imperial Doctor Zhu looked at the expression of the second young lady, as if she was crazy." β
The cold smoke is fast, and as soon as these words came out, Zhu Zheng and Changxuan were immediately red. Zhu Zheng immediately turned his face away, and said with a deep bow, "Weichen is offended, please forgive the second lady." β
Chang Xuan was stunned, and suddenly didn't know how to answer. Wan Xiang pulled her sleeve on the side and said softly, "Second Miss, go to Niangniang's side." β
Changxuan answered, and went nonoly.
Zhu Zheng still stood in place and did not say a word. Han Yan looked at him sideways, and unconsciously reminded him, "Didn't Imperial Doctor Zhu come here this time to ask for peace for Niangniang?" β
"Ah, yes." Only then did Zhu Zheng slowly come back to his senses and walked to Chang'an and sat down.
Chang'an's soft satin sleeves quietly retreated to Hao's wrists, and Zhu Zheng's fingers lightly covered the white yarn, but his eyes fell on Changxuan's face slightly.
Chang'an took in Zhu Zheng's expression at this time, and quietly glanced at Changxuan again, seeing that she was just blindly lowering her head, but her cheeks were burning red, and she couldn't help but have some plans in her heart.
"Niangniang's pulse is calm, everything is fine, don't worry." Zhu Zheng was about to get up after diagnosing his pulse, but Chang Xuan stood up before him, Chang An couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and said, "Imperial Doctor Zhu, this sister from this palace has just entered the palace, and she is not very familiar with everything, and she just said that she wants to go around the outside of Chonghua Palace, if the imperial doctor doesn't mind, can you bring Changxuan with you?" β
When everyone heard Chang'an's words, they were stunned.
Zhu Zheng's face turned red for a while, and he immediately lowered his head, but he didn't dare to speak.
Chang Xuan raised her eyes suddenly, looked at Chang'an in shock and trepidation, and muttered, "Eldest sister, I'm afraid this is ......."
"Let the evening fragrance go with you." Chang An took a leisurely sip of tea and handed a look to Wanxiang, who immediately understood, turned around and said respectfully, "Imperial Doctor Zhu, Second Miss, please here." β
Zhu Zheng and Changxuan no longer shirked, and followed Wanxiang one after another.
The figures of the two gradually moved away, and Han Yan came to Chang'an's side, and said with a clever smile, "Master, look at the slave, this Imperial Doctor Zhu and the second lady are a little interesting to each other." β
Chang An chuckled, and was just about to open his lips, when he suddenly saw Changle with a pair of eyes open, listening to the conversation between the two to his ears, his heart trembled slightly, and he hurriedly called Xiao Shanzi to lead Changle down, and then said, "Why can't this palace see it?" It's just that Aunt Lan definitely doesn't want Changxuan to marry someone in the palace. β
When Han Yan heard this, he frowned and said, "Imperial Doctor Zhu is the chief imperial doctor of the Imperial Hospital, and his future is bright, although the imperial doctor is not as noble as the prince, but in this palace, in addition to the eunuchs, he is the guard, if Imperial Doctor Zhu and the second lady are in love, it is good to marry him." β
Chang'an suddenly heard Han Yan mention the word "prince", and suddenly remembered Chu Ying, so he asked, "This palace heard that the emperor's eighth brother King Xiangyang entered Luoyang two days ago, so is King Jiangling still in Luoyang?" β
Han Yan was slightly stunned, and blindly frowned, "It's long gone." This king of Jiangling is so strange, the slave maid heard that the prince said that he would stay in the palace for a few months to accompany the emperor and the queen mother, but a few days ago he suddenly returned to Jiangling, and no matter how persuaded by others, he couldn't say anything. β
Chang'an's eyes were as warm as water, but the sigh spread out silently, faintly, she seemed to feel that there was a deep touch in her heart, but she didn't know why.
