Chapter 43: Getting a Son
This night, Chu Luo came to Chonghua Palace.
At that time, Wanxiang was talking with Chang'an in the inner hall.
In the inner hall, all the subordinates were dismissed, and Wan Xiang stood in front of Chang'an, telling all the things she had heard about today. There was silence in the hall, save for the faint sound of the breeze passing through the candles. From time to time, a few palace people passed by outside the hall, but the footsteps were extremely soft, and the sound of conversation was also very soft.
After Chang'an listened to Wanxiang's words, his eyebrows gradually darkened little by little.
"You mean to say...... The Imperial Physician of Fengluan Palace is the righteous son of Lord Shangshu Zhong of the Household Department? β
Wanxiang bowed slightly, covered Chang'an's side, and said in a low voice, "The slave maid has asked Imperial Doctor Zhu to transfer his file, it is true." β
A trace of doubt flashed in Chang'an's eyes, and she quietly stroked the cloisonnΓ© red coral earrings in her ear, and mused, "So...... It has something to do with Zhong Yuxiu......"
Wanxiang nodded, and just wanted to say something more, but saw the bead curtain outside the palace door, and a breeze blew in, and the emperor stood outside the hall, looking at each other.
Wanxiang's tone was stagnant, and she hurriedly bowed down, "The emperor is blessed with Jin'an." β
As soon as Chang'an saw that the emperor was coming, a thin smile immediately appeared on his lips, "Why didn't the emperor report when he came in?" β
Chu Luo smiled lowly, took her hand and sat on the couch, extremely intimate, "When will I come to Chonghua Palace, do I still need to report?" β
When Chang'an heard this, his heart suddenly shook.
When Chu Luo came to Chonghua Palace, he never needed to be reported by the palace people. After so long, she actually forgot.
Evening incense gave a very respectful salute and left.
But Chang'an has been immersed in Fang Cai's thoughts and has never come back to his senses.
"What are you thinking?" Chu Luo's warm voice interrupted Chang'an's thoughts, and she was still a little stunned. was asked by Chu Luo all of a sudden, but she was a little panicked, "I'm thinking...... Thinking about ...... The queen mother is pregnant, why didn't the emperor go to her palace to have a look? β
As soon as these words came out, even Chang'an himself was startled.
How could she persuade Chu Luo to go to another woman's palace? How so? Is this what she, Shen Changan, will do?
When Chu Luo heard this, he was obviously also surprised.
His heart shrank violently, and he unconsciously clenched her hand, and there was distress and pity between the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, "Chang'an...... I know that you are also sad in your heart. β
Saddened......
Chang'an was a little confused.
She should have been sad a long time ago. It's just that when he didn't see it, she had already dried up her tears.
She stared blankly at the man in front of her. His angular face revealed a hint of indescribable coldness. In those charming eyes, there seemed to be an endless expression, dressed in black, with high black hair, and an emerald jade pendant around his waist, which made the king's aura around him even stronger.
He was the only reason she was here.
Seeing Zihan Cheng Huan under Zhao Nanyan's knees, looking at the queen's eyes looking forward to her sister-in-law, why didn't she want to be like them? She entered the deep palace and respected as a virtuous concubine, but she was killed and couldn't have her own children.
There was a hint of emotion between Chang'an's eyebrows, she looked at Chu Luo, and her tone was as subtle as a complaint, "I didn't have your child, will you blame me?" β
Chu Luo seemed to be shocked again.
He looked at her quietly, and without thinking, said, "No, no." How can I blame you......" As he spoke, he hugged Chang'an into his arms and said in a deep voice, "Chang'an, I can't help you." β
Chang An leaned on Chu Luo's chest, clutching his sleeve tightly. In an instant, the matter of begonia flowers almost blurted out. But when she thought about it again, she buried this matter deep in her heart.
She loves Chu Luo deeply, even if she has no children herself, she is unwilling to deprive him of the joy of being a father.
Chang'an closed her eyes slightly, and big tears flowed out of her eyes.
In the autumn of the third year of Yongchang, good news came from Fengluan Palace, the queen gave birth to a son and gave him the name Yunke.
This is the first prince since the emperor ascended the throne, and it is also the eldest son of the emperor Chu Luo, the emperor hereby amnesties the world, the reward of the six palaces, Fengluan Palace is more than usual to add three times, the palace for several days of singing and dancing, the sound of joy is endless.
When the news of the queen's son reached the Chonghua Palace, Chang'an looked leisurely, and only said lightly, "That's really congratulations to the queen." β
Han Yan brought the tea, and said with a smile, "The master of Ming'er will also give birth to one himself, and it will definitely be much more lively than this at that time." The emperor doesn't know how much he loves his master's little prince. β
The cold smoke speaker has no intention, but Chang'an is the listener's intention. She was originally a palace cold physique, and she ingested a lot of musk and incense some time ago, how difficult it is to get pregnant.
Hanyan saw that Chang'an's face gradually turned cold, and he knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly took the tea and retreated.
When she walked to the door, she suddenly saw that the emperor was going to this side with He Sheng, she was startled, and hurriedly wanted to kneel down to say goodbye, but in the end she brought a plate of tea, and as soon as she knelt down the tea, she staggered and scattered, feeling embarrassed, and before she could speak, Chu Luo motioned to He Sheng to take the tea in a few steps, and said with a smile, "Hanyan doesn't need to be polite." Chang'an can be inside? β
"Back to the emperor, the master is here." Hanyan lowered his head and replied respectfully.
He Sheng glanced at Han Yan, and the two of them retreated together.
Chang'an in the hall heard footsteps and gradually approached, and before he got up, he was fished into Chu Luo's arms.
Chu Luo's deep voice sounded in Chang'an's ears, "But do you want to die?" β
Chang'an smiled slightly, "The emperor came by himself, but the concubine didn't think about it." β
"If not, forget it." Chu Luo let go of Chang'an, walked to the couch and sat down, picked up a piece of cloud cake and put it in his mouth, and slanted at Chang'an, but there was a smile on his face.
Chang'an added a cup of tea and smiled, "At this time, the emperor should be very happy, the queen mother gave birth to a little prince, and Chang'an hasn't congratulated the emperor on having a dragon son." β
Chu Luo put down the cloud cake, his words were as gentle as a drizzle, he stretched out his hand to Chang'an, "Come here." β
Chang'an walked over meekly, Chu Luo pulled her to his lap, reached out and clasped her slender fingers tightly, and said softly, "Fathers are naturally happy." I'm just sorry that I don't have a child with you yet. β
Chang'an held back the pain in his heart and stretched out a flawless smile, "The concubine is not as blessed as the queen's mother." β
"Yes."
"What?"
"I said, you and I will have a child of ours." Chu Luo sighed a little depressed, and looked at Chang'an, "When the time comes, whether it is the prince or the emperor, I will be extremely happy." If it is the prince, I will teach him to practice martial arts and sword, and if it is the emperor, I will accompany her to visit the garden and landscape. He smiled gently, "With my Chang'an, okay?" β
Chang'an had warm enthusiasm in her eyes, and she was not unwilling to hold her son's hand and grow old with her son. At the foot of Phoenix Mountain that day, she was still eighteen-year-old Shen Chang'an, sitting at the foot of the mountain with Chu Luo, he said that he wanted to live in seclusion in this mountain, live the life of ordinary people's homes, and have a son and a daughter with Chang'an, and she was also willing. Back then, he was willing to give up the world for her, and she was convinced of this.
Chang'an leaned close to Chu Luo's chest, feeling the warmth coming from him, and his heart was also safe.
As soon as the queen got a son, the little masters in the harem were busy running to Fengluan Palace, but Chang'an didn't like to join in the excitement. After a few more days, after the crowd dispersed, Chang'an brought evening incense to Fengluan Palace to visit the queen.
There was a joy in Fengluan Palace, and after it passed, it returned to tranquility. The eunuch in charge outside the palace saw Chang'an and hurriedly asked her for peace, Fang said, "Niangniang, the emperor is in there now." β
Chang'an "chuckled" in his heart, but his face was still as calm as water, and he replied quietly, "This palace knows." β
Chang'an paced into the hall, the two palace maids at the door blessed Chang'an respectively, she approached, and saw the queen leaning on the soft couch, her plain face with a hint of redness, she had a shallow smile on her lips, staring at Chu Luo and her child. Chu Luo sat beside the queen, holding Yun Ke in his arms, and went to amuse him from time to time, his eyes were full of fatherly love.
Chang'an stood at the door, his heart gloomy. The emperor and empress, Chu Luo and Li Shushen, they are a pair made in heaven, no matter what, the person who looks at the world side by side with him is not her Shen Changan after all.
Such a harmonious scene, plus Shen Chang'an, can't help but seem a little abrupt, Chang'an just wanted to turn around and leave, but was suddenly stopped by the queen, "Concubine Xian is here." β
Hearing this, she turned around, hid the tears that were slightly dripping from the corners of her eyes, and gave a salute to the emperor and empress, "The emperor is auspicious, and the queen is safe." β
Chu Luo looked up at Chang'an, and said with a smile, "Chang'an, you come." β
Chang'an was stunned and walked slowly to the emperor.
"You hug Yunke."
"Huh?" Chang'an didn't react for a while.
Li Shushen's eyebrows jumped when she heard this, and the corners of her mouth barely pulled out a smile, "Concubine Xian is young, I'm afraid she hasn't held a child." β
Chang'an was already tingling in his heart when he heard this, his face sank slightly, and he didn't say anything.
Chu Luo just didn't hear it, carefully handed Xiao Yunke into the hands of the nurse, and smiled at Chang'an, "I know, you also like children." β
Chang'an was a little stunned, agreed, took off all the jewels and jade on his wrist and put them in Wanxiang's hand, bent down and carefully took the little prince from the nurse's hand, and held him in his arms.
Yun Ke in his arms was less than a month, and he looked at Chang'an with wide eyes. He is not like other children who are born crying and fussing, but are too quiet, probably because he knows that being born in this royal family is different from other children. Xiao Yunke lay peacefully in Chang'an's arms like this, squeezing out a smile that didn't look like a smile to Chang'an. Chang'an looked at him, tears almost bursting out of his eyes.
