Chapter 6: Unexpected Joy (3)
"Why aren't you sick, look at your pale complexion." Bao Yuan untied his cloak and asked Zhiqiu, "Has Ling Xuan been here?" What did he say? ”
"Back to the emperor, Niangniang, this ......" Before Zhiqiu finished speaking, I interrupted: "Mother Qiu, you go out first, I'll tell the emperor myself." ”
Knowing that Qiu would understand, he took the bowl with a smile and pulled Ming'er out, Ming'er's second monk was puzzled, and muttered: "Mother Qiu, what are you pulling me for, what kind of illness is my sister doing, we are all out, where is my sister uncomfortable, who is waiting?" ”
"Silly girl, Niangniang is not sick, you come out, come out and I'll tell you." Zhiqiu couldn't help but smile, pulled Ming'er and left.
"But, but...... Obviously ......"
"Alas, it's all said that the mother is not sick, so don't worry."
Watching Zhiqiu pull Ming'er out of the house, my heart was filled with happiness and there was no gap.
Bao Yuan seemed to have guessed something, he looked at me with bright eyes, and asked, "Rui'er, Zhiqiu just said that you are not sick, Mo is not, Mo is not ......"
"Well, I'm not sick, I just accidentally got hurt."
"What? Victimized? Bao Yuan showed an anxious look on his face, and said hurriedly: "Someone is poisoning you." ”
"No, no, no!" This person, why is he so stupid, how can anyone be so happy if he is poisoned, I hurriedly waved my hand and denied it.
"Then you clearly said that you were harmed?" Bao Yuan looked at me suspiciously.
I snuggled into his arms, leaned into his ear and whispered, "I haven't been able to eat and sleep for the past few days, but I haven't been hurt by someone." ”
"Huh?"
"I was hurt by a 'villain' sent by someone."
"Huh!? Rui'er, Rui'er, do you mean, you, you're happy? Bao Yuan finally understood, and asked with surprise and joy as he held me.
"Well, I'm less than a month pregnant." I said happily.
"Hahaha, I'm going to be a father, I'm going to be a father!" Bao Yuan stood up and strode back and forth in the room, with an unconcealable smile on his face.
I happily got up to greet him, but I was picked up by him and shouted with a smile: "Rui'er, I finally waited for our child." I buried my face in his arms and laughed.
"Oh, yes, I can't hurt you." He carefully put me on the couch again, and said to me a little stupidly, "Ling Xuanke said, is the child okay?" As for you, your body can't stand it. ”
"Well, my child and I are fine, but we have to recuperate quietly in the future." I replied gently.
"Rui'er, thank you, you don't know how happy I am at this moment." He sighed and took me into his arms, listening to the thumping of his heartbeat, how grateful I was to God for all that it had given me.
The news soon spread to the Qinghe Palace, according to the palace system, I should personally go to the Empress Dowager, but the Qinghe Palace soon spread the word, saying that the Empress Dowager asked me to rest in the Changchun Palace, and the Empress Dowager would come to see me in person after dinner.
Jingyi and Jinyan got the good news and came to see me early with a congratulatory gift.
Jingyi Luo Luo explained to me a lot of things to pay attention to, and even pulled Zhiqiu and Ming'er to give instructions. Jin Yan looked at me and smiled softly, I could see the joy in her heart, and she told me that from today onwards, she would recite a copy of the "Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra" for me and the child every day until I gave birth to the child.
In this way, for a few days in a row, people came and went in the Changchun Palace, and it was rare to be lively, and the concubines of each palace and garden, all of whom were sincere and false, came to congratulate.
At first, I was patient with socializing, but later on, I was reluctant to meet people, thinking that after pregnancy, people would become afraid of making noise.
Since I was pregnant, the Queen Mother decreed that I should not go back and forth in the morning to say hello, and even came to the Changchun Palace to see me the next day, or I asked Zhou Shanggong to send delicate food.
Jingyi said to me, the queen mother was not even favored when Concubine Zhang was pregnant with Xuan Zhe.
I am grateful, but I am also somewhat uneasy about such a pet, but the joy of being a mother is far beyond everything, and I always look forward to the day when I see my baby, and I often laugh out loud when I am alone.
The female celebrity who has always been uninterested, and now she has often taught me Zhiqiu and Ming'er, but Qiu's mother said that she was not pregnant for three months, and she couldn't move the needle and scissors, so she couldn't just sit and watch them do it.
But after all, I still hope that the child will be able to wear the clothes made by his mother one day, so he carried Zhiqiu on his back and secretly learned to embroider some bibs and belly pockets. However, the craftsmanship is not good, because of clumsiness, I don't know how many times I have pierced my fingers, but my heart is sweet.
Since I was pregnant, Bao Yuan was tired of being in the Changchun Palace, and rarely went to other concubines. I occasionally urged him to go and see others, and he would find excuses to play tricks.
In this way, I instilled in him the so-called method of prenatal education, and he heard it in his heart. He often asked me to lie quietly on the couch, and he played the flute on the side of the piano, or talked with me.
Sometimes he is like a jerky father, stupidly saying some promises to the baby in his womb.
The last few days have been quietly spent in such satisfaction and happiness.
Occasionally, I think of the last time Xuan Zhe came to see me, and the loneliness and uneasiness in his eyes that I couldn't hide made me feel uncomfortable.
Thinking about it, the baby in my womb is very favored by my father and mother, and he is also worried that he will eventually lose the love of the past!
In order not to make Xuan Zhe feel lost, I took Jingyi to Changchun Hall often, whenever he came, I deliberately instructed the small kitchen to make some snacks that he loved to eat, and took time to chat with him.
Gradually, this child no longer minds the child in my womb, but more often asks me curiously: "Mother, will you have a brother or sister for your son?" ”
Whenever this happens, I will gently ask him, "Does Sheng'er want her mother to have a younger brother or a younger sister?" ”
He thought for a moment and replied seriously: "Grandma Huang and Father must hope that the mother concubine will have a younger brother. ”
"But the mother wants to know, what does the saint want me to give birth to?"
He tilted his head, thought for a moment, and replied cautiously: "Mother, I said, don't be angry. ”
"How can you be angry, Sheng'er can say whatever he thinks in his heart." I spoke more gently and gently.
"Well, I actually hope that my mother can give birth to a younger sister, my sister is good!"
"Hehe, can Sheng'er tell the mother concubine, why is my sister good?"
"Because my sister doesn't have to work so hard, you see, Feng Yi is so comfortable, she doesn't have to study and practice martial arts like me and Xuan Yu and Xuan Bao's younger brothers."
"But when boys grow up, they can protect their mothers, and girls always need someone to protect them." In fact, I have always hoped that my child, whether male or female, will grow up healthy as long as he is born safely.
"Mother, you still have me, I have grown up, and I can protect you in the future." Xuan Zhe patted his chest, which was still a little thin, and said seriously.
"Well, yes, so no matter if the mother concubine gives birth to a boy or a girl, it will not change the position of Sheng'er in the heart of the mother concubine, and you will always be my eldest son."
"Mother concubine......" Xuan Zhe's eyes turned red, and this little man choked up and couldn't speak.
I also red-eyed, pulled him to my side, and said with a smile: "Sheng'er, you want to be called 'mother', not a concubine." ”
"Mother...... Mother ...... "The child threw herself into my arms, and I was deeply moved in my heart, and I seemed to see Taihua's gentle smiling face in the eyes of tears, don't worry, Taihua, I will treat your son as my own child." If you watch from heaven, please protect us, and the child in my womb, that he may be born safely.
Taihua, we must work together to make our children safe and healthy!
