Chapter 7: The Red Gardenia (3)

At the end of December, when I was more than four months pregnant, I could occasionally feel the fetal movements, and whenever night fell, when I read under the lamp, my belly would move faintly. Whenever this happens, I am always pleasantly surprised, stroking my slightly bulging belly, and talking to this child whom I have not met yet.

When Ling Xuan diagnosed the pulse, he said that my qi and blood are vigorous, which is a good sign for raising the fetus, and told me to move around properly to benefit the fetus in the womb.

The winter sun warmly shone on the land of Shudu, and I walked to Meilin after breakfast with Zhiqiu and Ming'er.

A few days ago, Bao Yuan was making a fuss about naming the baby differently from the princes, but he didn't think of a good one for a while, reading Bao Yuan and the child, I stroked the lower abdomen that was already a little dewy, my heart was sweet, and my face was naturally full of smiles.

Plum trees like humid and slightly warm climates, so the plum trees in Shu grow the best, and Chengdu is famous for planting plum in the top grade "money green calyx". The green calyx is a straight-legged plum, the calyx is green, the petals are snow-white, double-petaled, elegant and clean, and the fragrance is very strong.

The plum forest in the Shu Palace is the most numerous, accounting for more than half, and the other half is red plum and palace powder.

I smelled the plum fragrance, and I was in a happy mood, and suddenly remembered that I met Congjia in this plum forest that year. Because Xiang Ming'er smiled and sighed: "The sixth prince of the Tang Kingdom was only seven years old that year, he is the same age as Sheng'er, and he will be fourteen next year." ”

Ming'er also nodded and smiled: "Sister is also looking forward to giving birth to a child as talented as the Sixth Prince?" ”

I shook my head and said, "There are few children like Congjia in the world, and it is even harder to be born in the royal family." I would only like to have a sister for the Holy Son. "Speaking of the fate of the royal family, I was stunned, my child was born, if the Shu Kingdom dies in the future, what should I do?

"Sister, isn't it a good sign that this year's green calyx has budded early." Ming'er called me, I came back to my senses and stroked the plum branches, not wanting to think about those helpless and sad things anymore.

In a few days, it will be Chinese New Year's Eve, and the palace will begin to be lively, and the palace people are busy dressing up for the New Year. There are a lot of palace people who come to Meilin today, and when they meet me in the forest, they are busy coming to greet me and say some auspicious words, and from time to time there are palace maids who are ordered to tie some brocade strips of various colors on the plum branches.

After walking for a while, I was a little tired, I found a perch pavilion to sit down, because I saw that everyone was interesting to tie the brocade for the plum tree, so I allowed Ming'er to follow the Youlian in the Jinyan Palace to tie the brocade.

was sitting in the pavilion with Zhiqiu gossiping and resting, and after a while, a palace person who listened to Fengxuan came and said that Shen Yuefu had sent a gift to Changchun Palace. These days, she doesn't know how many things she has sent to my palace, but I always feel uncomfortable in my heart, and I don't want to see her, so I send Zhiqiu back to collect some reply.

Zhiqiu saw that I was not at ease alone, so I pointed to Ming'er and a palace person and said straight, so she babbled and told me and left hesitantly.

I didn't think that this Merlin was very big, and I heard the sound of a group of people chirping just now, and after a while, the birds disappeared silently.

It's rare to be so pure, I secretly laughed at myself as an idler, leaning on the edge of the pavilion and looking at the "Zhaoming Anthology" printed by my mother.

This "Zhaoming Anthology" was selected by Xiao Tong Chinese ji, the eldest son of Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty, and the poems and essays from the Qin to the Liang Dynasty were selected in the book, and only those who "came out of contemplation and righteousness attributed to Hanzao" could be selected. During the questioning, I was not interested in it, and only chose some simple poems to read.

is turning to Cao Zijian's five-word "Seven Mourning Poems", sighing for the rest of the woman's sorrow, should not be this scene and can not be conceived, as if it is not suitable for pregnant people to see, smiled and closed the page of the book to close his eyes and recuperate.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of footsteps behind me approaching, accompanied by some rapid gasping, I expected that Ming'er had come back from finishing the brocade, so I turned around with a smile and took out the brocade from my arms......

"Ahh I screamed and fell to the ground, I couldn't believe that the person I saw in front of me could be Zhang Xianru, who had abolished the concubine.

"Ah, sister! Do you think I'm pretty? Zhang Xianru was neatly dressed, and her head was full of small red and white plum branches, and the shape did not look like she was completely crazy. Her eyes were a little glazed, as if she didn't recognize me anymore, and she only giggled and tilted her face to look at me.

"Sister, do you think I'm beautiful?" She approached me and asked innocently. My heart almost hung in my throat for a moment, and I retreated nervously and vigilantly.

She was so close to me, and I could faintly smell the faint fragrance between my noses, mixed with the fragrance of plum blossoms, which made people feel strange but indistinguishable for a while.

She had a small bronze mirror in her hand, and she looked at the mirror and said to me happily: "The emperor said that when my Xianru Palace is built, I will move out of Yanchang Palace." ”

As he was talking, he suddenly turned to Merlin and said to me, "Ah! Look at these palace powders, how gorgeous they are, the emperor promised that in the future, this Merlin will only grow the palace powder I love. She was immersed in her own world, and her face was a little shy and confused.

I looked at the rumored crazy woman in front of me, and now it seems that she has lost her memory? I watched the transient changes on her face with a heart, she was still so young, still beautiful, if she really lost her memory, maybe she just remembered those good pasts, then it should be a kind of happiness for her now!

"Ah~! No, no, my palace fan! She exclaimed suddenly, pointing to the snow-white green calyx behind me, her apricot eyes wide open.

"How come my palace powder has all changed color, white, white......" she whispered and hugged her head, and kept spinning around me, muttering to herself. Looking at Zhang Xianru, who was behaving abnormally like this, I became scared and anxiously thought of a way to get out.

"White, how can it be white?" Zhang Xianru looked confused, biting her fingers, tilting her head and thinking bitterly.

I slowly moved my steps towards the outside of the pavilion, a little more, a little more to get out of the pavilion, as soon as I got to the outside of the pavilion, I ran. But at this moment, Zhang Xianru exclaimed: "Ah, I remembered, white green stamen, hum!" It's the green calyx that that the woman likes! She jerked her face up, her eyes shining with a terrifying light.

I smothered in horror as she searched my face, grinning at her with the corners of my mouth tugging.

"Your Majesty! Emperor! I want to see the emperor! You're a little Jane! Hurry up, take me to the emperor. She smiled weirdly, became manic, reached out and grabbed me, and shouted, "Little Zhenzi! Go quickly, why did the emperor cut down my palace powder and plant green calyx! Palace fans! Emperor! Palace fans! Emperor! ”

Zhang Xianru's demeanor became more and more frenzied, she raised her hand and pulled the plum branch on her head, and while taking it in front of her eyes to take a closer look, she pulled her hair and talked to herself.

"Sister!" At this moment, Ming'er finally returned, and at this moment she stood outside the pavilion and called me anxiously.

When I saw Ming'er, I stroked my chest and relaxed slightly, gesturing to her, asking her to try to lure Zhang Xianru out of the pavilion.

Now Zhang Xianru is sleepy, I can't get out between her and the pavilion chair, if she goes crazy for a while, what if she hurts the child in her womb.

Xian Ru also seemed to hear Ming'er's call, and turned her face to stare at Ming'er, and Ming'er's little face was now pale with shock.
