Volume VI Chapter 4 XIII

In the early morning, when Chunxi woke up from her sleep, she saw a porcelain doll guarding her bedside.

Chun Xi laughed and picked up the porcelain doll, hugged it in his arms, and said happily: "Why did Brother Eleven wake up so early today?" Don't even cry? ”

"As soon as I woke up, I yelled to see Eniang, and I hugged him to see that Niangniang was still asleep, but he was well-behaved, only playing by himself by the bed, guarding Niangniang." Fu'er stepped forward with a smile and helped Chunxi to get up.

When Chunxi heard this, she was even more happy in her heart, and she held Yinyu for a long time and refused to let go. It amused Yinyu again, and suddenly the dormitory was full of laughter from the mother and son.

Hearing the movement inside, Mu Hui and Miyi also came in. The two of them personally dressed Chunxi, and while putting on shoes and socks for Chunxi, Miyi said: "Niangniang, Chuxiu Palace is very happy today, Zhen promised to just give birth to a little brother for the emperor." ”

"What a joy." Chun Xi smiled lightly: "Can the emperor go to Chuxiu Palace to see Zhen and Little Brother?" ”

"Not yet. The emperor has been busy, thinking that he will not go over until the next morning. Miyi replied: "However, Zhen promised that the fetus moved in the middle of the night last night, and the imperial concubine personally guarded the second half of the night, and then returned to Chengqian Palace to rest." ”

"I like her." Chun Xi said indifferently: "It seems that half of the palace's plan has been successful, and the next thing is to see if the concubines and the noble people have taken the bait." ”

"The slave wishes the mother all her wishes." Mi Yi and Mu Hui said in unison, the two looked at each other and smiled, and said to Chunxi: "Niangniang is at ease." ”

"How can Hongu not feel at ease? I heard such a good thing in the morning, and I should be happy all day today. Chunxi was in a good mood, handed Yinyu to Fu'er, and said to Fu'er: "Since you are in a good mood, you will accompany the palace to Ruiying Hall to meet Yinyu in a while, I haven't seen the child for several days, I miss him." ”

"The fifth elder brother must also miss his mother." Fu'er hugged Yinyu and was about to go outside: "Since you want to go out, the slave maid will change into warm clothes for the eleventh elder brother." ”

In Chuxiu Palace, Lan Xin guarded Zhang Jia Chuzhen, who had not yet woken up, looking tired and very tired.

"Niangniang should also go and rest for a while, and accompany the imperial concubine all night. Don't get tired, wait for Jane to wake up, and the slave maid will invite the maid as soon as possible. Ji Xin was worried about her body, she had been sleeping well, but when she heard that Zhang Jia Chuzhen was about to give birth, Tong Ruofei went to Chuxiu Palace to guard it in person, so she also followed.

"It's okay, this palace can still hold on, I'm afraid that Zhen will wake up if she agrees." While the two of them were talking, they heard movement on the bed, Lan Xin immediately turned around, and saw Zhang Jia Chuzhen's weak appearance, struggling to get up.

"You lie down." Lan Xin immediately went up to help her, and put several pillows behind her, so that she could lie comfortably on the bed.

"Blessed is Concubine De." Zhang Jia Chuzhen's voice was weak, she had just woken up, her face was pale, but she tried her best to squeeze out a smile.

"It's good for you to wake up." Lan Xin asked someone to bring medicinal food over and fed her to drink: "Eat something, be good to yourself." ”

Zhang Jia Chuzhen looked left and right, but she didn't see the shadow of the child, and she didn't hear the crying.

Xu saw Zhang Jia Chuzhen's thoughts, and Lan Xin hurriedly explained: "I gave birth to a little brother, and I am in the concubine's house at this time, there are several grandmothers taking care of me, don't worry." ”

Zhang Jiachuzhen's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition was born from her heart.

Lan Xin persuaded: "There are rules in the palace, if anyone below the concubine gives birth to a prince, it must be handed over to the palace masters to raise." Don't worry too much, this palace looks at the way Jing Concubine looks at the child, and it seems that she loves the little brother very much. You can also rest assured that the little brother will be handed over to the concubine. ”

Zhang Jia Chuzhen didn't speak, only wept silently. Lan Xin shook her head helplessly, but she understood the bitterness in her heart. Why wasn't he in such a state of mind at the beginning?

"Was Concubine De like me at the beginning?" Zhang Jia Chuzhen wiped her tears, looked up at Lan Xin and asked.

Lan Xin nodded, and said with some sadness: "Isn't the fourth elder brother still raised by the imperial concubine now?" Even if the palace is now in the concubine position, there are times when there is nothing to do. ”

Lan Xin comforted for a while, and waited until Zhang Jia Chuzhen fell asleep again, and then got up and went back.

In the afternoon, Tong Ruofei came to visit Zhang Jia Chuzhen with good things. At that time, Zhang Jia Chuzhen had just woken up, and after lunch, he pulled his personal palace maid to ask about the situation of the little brother. Seeing Tong Ruofei coming in, he hurriedly got out of bed, and he wanted to say goodbye.

"Quickly help Jane up, she has just given birth to a prince, and her body is very weak. You don't have to salute with the main palace, just lie down. Tong Ruofei's smile on his face was bright and bright like a flower that had just bloomed.

"Thank you, Imperial Concubine." Zhang Jiachuzhen thanked her nervously, and was helped to lie back.

"This palace has brought some good things, you are in confinement this month, but you have to make up for it well. He was able to recover quickly when he was confined. Tong Ruofei said with a smile: "This palace has specially arranged someone to treat you for you, and Imperial Doctor Wu of Tai Hospital is the best at these, and this palace has already instructed him to ask for your pulse every day." ”

Such grace, Zhang Jia Chuzhen never thought of it. I also heard Lan Xin talk about it in the morning, she gave birth last night, but Tong Ruofei worked hard to keep watch over herself all night. Zhang Jia Chuzhen said movingly: "The mother is very loving, and the concubine is really unrequited." ”

"This palace also retreats your return, you can take care of your body with peace of mind." Tong Ruofei smiled again, but this smile made Zhang Jia Chuzhen feel a little frightened. Tong Ruofei will never be inexplicably good to a person, although Zhang Jiachuzhen has not been in the palace for a long time, he has been assigned to Chuxiu Palace since soon after entering the palace, and has been doing things by Wang Tianru's side.

Wang Tianru is attached to Tong Ruofei, so Zhang Jia Chuzhen often sees Tong Ruofei and occasionally hears them talking. Over time, Zhang Jiachuzhen did not fully understand Tong Ruofei's personality, but he could also know a thing or two.

If it weren't for her today, which was profitable for her, Tong Ruofei would definitely not deign to come. even kept watch outside all night last night, just so that she could give birth to the prince safely.

It's just that she just gave birth to a son, and she didn't see it, so she was taken away by Wang Tianru, which really hurt her. I wanted to mention it, but I didn't dare to speak.

Tong Ruofei brought this up indifferently: "After seeing you give birth to your little brother, this palace fell into a coma, and the little brother was taken care of. made his own decision and let Concubine Jing take care of him. You won't blame Hongu, will you? ”

Where does Zhang Jiachuzhen dare to blame, she doesn't even have the right to refute and say no. can only smile tremblingly: "Niangniang's arrangement is also for the good of the concubine and the little brother, not to mention that the concubine has always been generous to the concubine, so naturally she will also be generous to the little brother." ”

"It's best if you think like that." Tong Ruofei said with satisfaction: "This palace thinks that at your age, you shouldn't be depressed all day long for a child." It's better to let Concubine Jing raise the little brother, and you can also be at ease, take good care of yourself, and have more time to wait for the emperor. ”

Tong Ruofei's words are already very clear, Zhang Jia Chuzhen is not a fool, so she naturally understands what she means.

She remembered Lan Xin's encouragement to her in the morning, and thought that Lan Xin was just a little palace maid in Yikun Palace at the beginning. In the same situation, Lan Xin was able to become a concubine in a short period of time, so why can't she.

Now, Wang Tianru is only the lord of the inner court, and he is only on the throne of the concubine. Even if she raised her own children, she may not be able to become a concubine because of this. And he is when he is young and beautiful. The emperor also loves her, and since she was pregnant, the emperor has come to visit her in person every three or five days. In the harem, except for Concubine Yi, who has always been favored, I am afraid that she is only favored by the emperor. She really shouldn't be depressed because of her children. She should make herself strong, she doesn't have a favorable family background, and only the emperor's favor in this palace determines everything about her.

Anyway, since she can get into Tong Ruofei's eyes, with her arrangement, she can show her face in front of the emperor more. Although it is not necessary to favor the sixth house like Concubine Yi, it can also allow yourself to climb higher. At that time, Wang Tianru will still be raising this child, and he may be able to be like Lan Xin, and there will be other children by his side. What's more, they are in the Chuxiu Palace together, so why worry about not seeing the child. When she is out of confinement, she will naturally be able to think of meeting her children.

"Thank you Niangniang for mentioning it, the concubine will definitely take good care of herself." Zhang Jiachuzhen's docile voice was particularly beautiful in Tong Ruofei's ears.

"This palace is still waiting for you to add a few more little brothers to the emperor." Tong Ruofei took Zhang Jiachuzhen's hand and said, "Don't worry, in your future, this palace will make good arrangements for you." ”

"The emperor has arrived." Liang Jiugong's voice came from outside the door, and Tong Ruofei heard the sound and immediately got up to greet him.

I saw Xuan Ye holding the little brother in swaddling clothes and walking inside happily. followed by Wang Tianru, who was also smiling.

Tong Ruofei greeted him and saluted: "The concubines see the emperor, and the emperor is blessed and saintly." ”

"Get up." Xuan Ye nodded at her and walked towards Zhang Jia Chuzhen's bedroom.

"Congratulations to the emperor for having a noble son and adding a cute little brother." Tong Ruofei followed behind Xuan Ye and also entered.

As soon as I saw Zhang Jia Chuzhen, before she could say goodbye, Xuan Ye said with a smile: "I've been busy in the past few days, so I couldn't come to see you earlier." It's hard for you to suffer some sins alone. ”

"The emperor can take the time to come and visit, and the concubine is already very grateful." Seeing Xuan Ye holding the child in his arms, Zhang Jiachuzhen cried with joy. Finally, she was able to see her children.

"Look at you, why are you still crying?" Xuan Ye didn't know why, thinking that she was happy to come over and see the child again, so she cried. Hurriedly shed tears for her, held the child in front of her, and said, "Look, how much you look like you." ”

Zhang Jiachu stretched out his hand and wanted to touch the child, but he was a little scared. After much hesitation, he withdrew his hand. She was scared, and as soon as she touched the child, she couldn't help crying again. At that time, Xuan Ye was suspicious, and asked how he should explain?

Forget it, maybe it's better to keep your distance from your children.
