Under the disadvantage of the Qing army's successive defeats, Emperor Kangxi not only strictly rejected the peace talks of dividing the river and ruling the river, but also beheaded Wu Yingxiong's father and son, and hung their heads at the mouth of the vegetable market.

This move angered Wu Sangui, who wanted to negotiate peace, so he sent his subordinates to stay in Hunan, divided his troops to attack from east to west, one route from Changsha to attack Jiangxi, and the other route from Sichuan to Shaanxi. Soon, the army entered Jiangxi and joined Geng Jingzhong.

In this form, it was extremely unfavorable to the Qing court, but the hidden danger in the north had been removed, and Xuan Ye had no worries, so he sent six soldiers and horses to attack the rebels head-on.

Although the battle situation from the front line was mixed, after half a year of tempering, the young emperor was able to deal with all changes calmly, Xuan Ye was no longer manic and irritable, his diet and daily life were fixed, and his body gradually improved.

In the blink of an eye, it was May, early summer was coming, Shu Shu was pregnant with a fear of heat and couldn't sleep at night, so Xuan Ye ordered someone to set up a couch under the eaves of Kunning Palace, and accompanied Shu Shu to enjoy the stars and the moon at night, coaxing her to sleep peacefully.

On the second day of the first day of the first day, at night, Xuan Ye came late, Shu Shu had already dozed off, he went to the couch lightly, and looked at Shu Shu's sleeping face in the moonlight.

Because her belly was too big, she couldn't breathe when she lay down, and it was not easy to fall asleep in the last days of pregnancy, and Xuan Ye didn't want to wake her up at all.

But suddenly someone came in through the west door, the bright lantern was lit, and the movement of unlocking and opening the door woke Shu up.

"The emperor is here?" She was sleepy-eyed and lazy smiling, and when she woke up, she felt uncomfortable, and she had to raise her back a little higher to catch her breath.

It was Su Mala who came over there, Xuan Ye didn't have a seizure when he saw his grandmother, and Su Mala came to chatter: "The queen mother can say, the wind is cold at night, and there is dew in the morning, the emperor can't take his mother to mess around, how can he sleep outside." ”

Xuan Ye smiled: "I only moved out last night, and when she fell asleep, I took her back, Shu Shu thought the house was too stuffy, she couldn't breathe, she couldn't sleep, it was not good for her health." ”

Su Mala said that the Empress Dowager was not at ease, so she had to come and see, but she didn't expect that she was really sleeping outside.

It's only May, and there is still a little coolness in the morning and evening, one is the emperor who is looked up to by all the people, and the other is the queen who is about to give birth, the two people who are the supreme and noble people of the Qing Dynasty, how can they be so nonsense.

"Mama, let's sit down for a while, and then we'll go in later." Shu Shu smiled, "Mama, if you give back to the imperial grandmother, just say that we have gone back to the house to sleep, don't worry the old man." ”

Su Mala said: "The slave and maid can leave the person, and if the emperor and the mother are not in the house in the middle of the night, the slave and maid can only invite the queen mother." ”

It's good to say that Su Mala was invited away, and Sanger and Da Li Zi were trained, but when they came back, they saw the emperor and queen snuggling up to each other, talking and laughing, and the affection in their eyes could be seen under the moonlight, and the two looked at each other and happily guarded the steps.

"The imperial grandmother sent someone to clean her original study in the Forbidden City, and it will be mine from now on." Shu Shu said happily, "The imperial grandmother will personally choose a gentleman for me, and there are military generals in Wenchen, and the imperial grandmother said that she will come to listen to the class with me when she is free." Your Majesty, you will have to be idle in the future, can you come and be my husband? ”

"You've repeated these words countless times." Xuan Ye said angrily, "I can recite it, and I can recite it upside down." ”

Shu Shu smiled softly: "But I'm happy, this is the greatest recognition of the imperial grandmother to me, in fact, although I have always been confident and proud, I am still very uneasy in my heart." ”

Xuan Ye disagreed and asked, "What are you worried about?" ”

Shu Shu said frankly: "The affairs of the six palaces are all taken care of by Concubine Zhao, and they are impeccable. And above the emperor's heirs, whether it is Chenghu or other little brothers, they died one after another. No matter what I did, I didn't do it well, and I said that I didn't care about the gossip of outsiders, but I didn't want to be a virtuous queen praised by the world. ”

Xuan Ye said: "I am just talking in the Qianqing Palace, but I am the emperor, and no one can replace me." ”

Shu Shu looked at Xuan Ye and said with a smile: "What about me." ”

Xuan Ye said without hesitation: "Naturally, it is precisely because of your trust and tolerance that Concubine Zhao can be famous, and the six palaces can be harmonious." You have never disappointed me, nor have you ever disappointed the Imperial Grandmother, who has long told me that you will be the greatest Empress of the Qing Dynasty. Shu Shu, don't be presumptuous, in my eyes, you are the best. ”

Shu Shu smiled like a flower, and said, "I'm lying in your arms at this moment, or in the clouds in the sky, how can I float and float." ”

Xuan Ye said angrily: "It's swollen like a ball, you should go to the water to float, maybe it's okay, how big of a wind does it take to blow you up?" ”

Shu Shu looked at him with a snort, stretched out his hand and twisted it on Xuan Ye's arm, which made Xuan Ye grin in pain, and scolded with wide eyes: "If you don't let go, it's against you." ”

Shu Shu was like a little tiger who thought he was fierce: "If it weren't for the soft roots of my teeth now, I would have bitten you." ”

"You dare." Xuan Ye pinched Shu Shu's face, but he was just a comparison, he didn't use any strength, he was already a little distressed, quickly let go, rubbed it lightly and said, "Are you willing?" ”

Shu Shu also touched Xuan Ye's arm, muttering: "I know that I have become very ugly, my chin is double-layered, and the jade bracelet used to be able to slide to the elbow, but now half of it is stuck." But the doctor and my grandmother both said that I was not fat, and they were worried that I would eat too little. ”

Xuan Ye caressed his soft arm lovingly, turned the jade bracelet around, and said, "It's because this bracelet is too small, I asked them to pick another one for you." ”

Shu Shu said with a smile: "The imperial doctor said that it has been just a few days, after giving birth, slowly decreasing, and by the time of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I am the most beautiful woman in the Qing Dynasty." ”

Xuan Ye sneered, and quickly coughed dryly, trying to cover up.

"You're laughing at me?"

"No, I'm choking on saliva."

"Why are you choking?"

"Because ......"

"Because you're laughing." Shu Shu didn't give up, "Am I wrong?" ”

Xuan Ye was helpless, looked at her with a smile, and coaxed: "Okay, don't make trouble, the more troublesome you are, the more energetic you are, close your eyes, I will coax you to sleep." ”

Shu Shu found the most comfortable position in his arms, unscrupulously pressed his swollen body against Xuan Ye's chest, and hummed: "Anyway, whoever says no, let him go and be Wu Sangui's grandson." ”

"Nonsense."

"Xuanye ......"

"Huh?"

"Look, tonight's starry sky is so beautiful."

"When you recover, when the battle is over, let's take the imperial grandmother back to Horqin." Xuan Ye said, "The starry sky on the grassland must be more beautiful." ”

Shu Shu didn't remember when he fell asleep, and when he woke up, he was already on the couch in the dormitory, Xuan Ye was sleeping sweetly on the side, and he was still holding a fan in his hand, which must have been fanning himself before falling asleep.

It was not dawn outside the window, although I didn't know what time it was, it was estimated that Xuan Ye couldn't sleep for long, Shu Shu didn't dare to move, and looked at her husband quietly.

It's been almost ten years, almost half of her Hesheri Shushu life, three lives are fortunate to be able to marry Xuan Ye, three lives are lucky, and the future will be longer, decades later, the whole of her life is with this man.

"Grandpa, you don't want me to hang myself on the man's tree, I didn't." Shu Shu looked at the night sky and said with a smile in his heart, "But there is a big tree that shelters me from the wind and rain, shelters me from the sun and shade, and is my lifelong support." Grandpa, I'm doing well, it's good. ”

The pregnant woman couldn't sleep, Shu Shu opened her eyes to see the dawn, and under the clear light, she wanted to count the pockmarks on Xuan Ye's face.

Finally when it was time for the emperor to get up, Xuan Ye turned over lazily, and before he opened his eyes, he kissed Shu Shu's face, and Shu Shu begged for mercy coquettishly: "Scum, it hurts." ”

No matter how much trouble he made, he was afraid that he would have a fetus gas, Xuan Ye was also measured, got up energetically, washed and dressed, and Shu Shu did everything slowly, and finally came over, just matching Xuan Ye with the jade belt around his waist.

"Today afternoon, I want to shoot arrows with my second brother in the Arrow Pavilion, if you feel comfortable, come over and take a look to relieve your boredom." Xuan Ye said, "If you are tired and panicked, don't move, the imperial doctor said that it has only been these two days, right?" ”

Shu Shuwaner: "I must come, even if I was born in the Arrow Pavilion, what are I afraid of?" ”

Xuan Ye rolled up his sleeves and hummed: "You are not afraid of heaven and earth, Sange and their legs are about to be broken by the imperial grandmother." ”

Shu Shu immediately became honest and said obediently: "I'll take it easy, don't worry about me." ”

Seeing Xuan Ye go to the court, until he couldn't see it anymore, Shu Shu turned around happily and said to Sange: "Hurry up and pass the meal, the child and I are hungry." ”

Sanger responded with a smile, but as soon as he walked to the door, he was stopped by Shu Shu, and when he looked back and saw the queen frozen in place, he immediately ran back: "Niangniang, what's wrong?" ”

Shu Shu took a deep breath and was very calm: "I'm afraid I'm going to give birth." ”

The midwives in Kunning Palace were on call day and night, and they did not leave people in the hospital, and with an order, everyone quickly arrived at work, and the news was transmitted to Cining Palace and Ningshou Palace.

Yu'er came in person, said a few words to Shu Shu in labor pain, and saw that the child was calm and calm, no longer as panicked as when she was first born, so she withdrew with peace of mind.

In the Qianqing Palace, Xuan Ye also got the news early in the morning, but after calmly arranging a few major events, he hurried over.

Mrs. Hesheri was also taken into the palace, and with the permission of the Empress Dowager, she would accompany her daughter to give birth without leaving an inch.

The news that the queen is about to give birth quickly spread throughout the six palaces, and everyone is stretching their necks and waiting for the news, I wonder if the Hesheri clan can have luck with another prince this time.

Ling Zhao took people and passed through the west gate of Kunning Palace, and after thinking about it, he still came in.

She didn't come five years ago, because she was jealous, inferior, and couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart, but now she and the queen, although they will no longer be sisters, but emotionally, they have become sisters.

For the child, Ling Zhao has given up struggling, she knows that she doesn't have that life.

Xuan Ye waited nervously for the news, not noticing Ling Zhao's appearance, but Yu'er saw her and beckoned her to her side to ask some questions.

After speaking, he raised his eyes to look at the emperor again, five years ago, Shu Shu was so scared that he cried, Xuan Ye jumped up and down, Concubine Zhao hid in Yikun Palace and saw no one, five years later, the queen is calm and calm, Xuan Ye is calm and composed, and even Concubine Zhao is generous to help and congratulate.

Children have grown up, they have become mature and steady, and they have become braver and stronger.

Yu'er is very pleased, glad that God treats Daqing well, and glad that she can really be proud of her children and grandchildren in her lifetime.

Suddenly, a cry of pain came, it was Shu Shu's voice, Xuan Ye nervously almost rushed to the door, but it was immediately accompanied by the loud cry of a baby.

The eunuchs and palace maids all breathed a sigh of relief, and Ling Zhao was also happy, but she found that the emperor was still nervous, and immediately understood that he was worried about the queen.

Not long after, Sanger came to report the good news: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother, congratulations to the Queen Mother, congratulations to the Emperor, the mother gave birth to a little brother, and the mother and son are safe." ”

Xuan Ye immediately smiled, but he still kept asking Sange: "How is the queen, how is she?" ”

Soon, the little brother was wrapped in red swaddling clothes and carried out, Yu'er hugged the little great-grandson first, and chatted with the Queen Mother: "Look, this child is handsome, how can there be a newborn child, so good-looking?" ”

As she spoke, she raised her head and said to Xuan Ye, "Go, go see the queen." ”

Xuan Ye was stunned: "Imperial grandmother, the delivery room ......"

Yu'er said: "The former young emperor was frizzy and impulsive, and he had to use rules to restrain you, but now you are enough to make the imperial grandmother proud, and the imperial grandmother will never restrain you again." Nowadays, the war in the imperial court is tight, and there is finally such a happy thing, not letting you see Shu Shu, can you sleep at night? ”

Xuan Ye was so happy that he didn't even glance at his son, turned around and ran towards the door.

On the couch, the exhausted mother just opened her eyes, and unlike five years ago, when she opened her eyes today, Xuan Ye was in front of her.

"Xuanye ......" Shu Shu almost couldn't believe it.

"It's me." Xuan Ye smiled, with tears in his eyes, "You once said that you couldn't see me when you opened your eyes, and you were scared in your heart, and I also said that I don't want you to be afraid anymore." ”

Hot tears slipped down the corners of his eyes, but Shu Shu smiled: "When I see you, all the pain is gone." ”

There was a baby's cry outside the door, and Shu Shu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Your Majesty, is it a little princess?" ”

Xuan Ye said: "It's the son, ask them to bring it, I haven't looked at it yet." ”

Shu Shu smiled hard: "You Amada, why don't you look at your son." ”

Not long after, the nurse brought the little baby, and Xuan Ye helped Shu Shu to lean on the head of the bed and put the child into his arms.

"Looks like me." Shu Shu asked Xuan Ye happily, "Isn't it?" Looks like me. ”

Xuan Ye said: "It's not like you, it's like me." ”

Shu Shu pouted unconvinced, thought about it and smiled: "Then when I was a child, I was like me, beautiful and likable, and when I grew up, I was like you, heroic and extraordinary, and I was the pillar of the Qing Dynasty." ”

"You must do what you want, but when you are rested, you will hold him." Xuan Ye said, "Let the nurse take her away first, and I will accompany you." ”

Shu Shu bowed his head and handed the swaddling clothes to the nursing mother.

Xuan Ye came to remove the cushion behind her for her, and she was still laughing, but Shu Shu suddenly felt a suffocation in her chest, and her dying breath made her desperately want to breathe.

Shu Shu's heavy and rapid gasps, and his pale and blue face, made Xuan Ye panic and shouted: "Imperial Doctor? Someone, Doctor? ”

What made Xuan Ye even more desperate was that a large amount of blood poured out from under the quilt, and even dripped to the ground along the bed.

The doctor and the midwife rushed over, and saw that the bed was soaked with blood, and the midwife cried and knelt on the ground: "Niangniang is not good, Niangniang is not good......

"Shushu? Shushu? Xuan Ye desperately called out to the person who was suffocating on the bed, Shu Shu's hand, clutching his shirt tightly, trying to open his eyes, wanting to see him.

"Xuan...... Xuanye ......"

"What the hell is going on, what are you doing, come and save the queen, why is this happening? Why ......"

Xuan Ye's roar almost broke through the golden roof of Kunning Palace, and it was Shu Shu's hand that brought him back to his senses.

"Xuanye ......" Shu Shu seemed to be pinched by someone's throat, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't breathe, his body twitched, his chest rose and fell, and the hand holding Xuanye's shirt gradually lost his strength.

"Shu Shu, the Imperial Doctor will save you, Imperial Doctor ......" Xuan Ye spoke incoherently, tears welled up, and he shook his head desperately, "Don't, Shu Shu, don't!" ”

"Xuan ......" Shu Shu tried to open his mouth, "You...... Yes, you have to ...... well."

The rapid breathing suddenly stopped, and the convulsive body returned to silence, blood dripping down the edge of the bed.

"Shushu?" Xuan Ye called out to his beloved.

But in this world, no one will answer him again.

In Kunning Palace, the cry suddenly sounded, and the queen died.

Yu'er had already returned to Cining Palace, and turned back halfway when she heard the news, but Shu Shu didn't have time to wait for the old grandmother.

She stopped in front of the gate of Kunning Palace, her whole body stiffened, and her eyes were like death: "Why, why not me die?" ”

"The Empress Dowager?"

"Master?"

"Come on, the Empress Dowager has fainted......"

On the day when the whole country was supposed to celebrate the emperor's son-in-law again, he fell into endless grief because of the sudden death of the queen.

The pale envelope shrouded the palace, and the Forbidden City in early summer was like a cold winter wax moon.
