Chapter 438: Heartbeat
Three days ago, the acne blisters on the three of them had scabbed over and began to fall off naturally early this morning, leaving only faint marks, which were smeared with the ointment that Ye Xia took out of the space, and there would definitely be no "pockmarks" in the end.
"Will there be a scar on Rui'er's face?"
Xia Chengrui was reddened at the tips of his ears, and he looked very embarrassed on his face.
Ye Xia knew that the child was shy, she smiled, rubbed the little guy's head, and said softly, "No." Didn't my aunt apply ointment to you, and in a few days, the marks on your face will disappear completely, and your skin will be as white and smooth as before. ”
"Auntie, you are so good to me!"
Xia Chengrui Zhengtai's eyes were sincere and full of gratitude, he looked at Ye Xia and said word by word: "Rui'er will also be very good to my aunt, and Rui'er will also be very good to Brother Yan, Brother Ran, and Sister Ning, and will work hard to protect my aunt and the two little cousins and little cousins from being bullied!" ”
With a smile lingering in her bright and soft eyes, Ye Xia rubbed the child's head again: "Good boy, aunt believes in you." ”
After not getting along for a long time, Ye Xia felt more and more that the little prince was a good child, knowing gratitude, not casually putting on the shelf, polite in his words, not capricious at all, and simply a model among good babies.
The drizzle was like silk, Xia Mohan stood alone in a pavilion in the imperial garden, it stands to reason that he can go back to the house today, but considering that the East Palace has not yet been lifted, and the palace gate will not be fully opened until tomorrow,
His Royal Highness King Jing did not propose to Emperor Yongkang to return to his home, after all, he was afraid of everything, especially in terms of smallpox epidemic, and there was no room for the slightest sloppiness and slackness.
At this time, the reason why Xia Mohan appeared in the imperial garden was because the queen mother had just had a conversation with him, but it was better to say that it was a conversation than that the queen mother had a tough attitude towards urging her to marry, and even put down her words, if Xia Mohan did not agree to marry the new princess and enter the door, don't go to Shou'an Palace to ask for peace.
The Queen Mother gave birth to two sons and a daughter for the emperor in her life, however, not long after the daughter was born, she died of a cold and high fever, this child was the first child of the Queen Mother, at that time, the Queen Mother was undoubtedly sad,
Fortunately, after an interval of more than half a year, there was joy again, so that the Queen Mother slowly walked out of the pain of losing her daughter, gave birth to Emperor Yongkang, and conceived her third child after a few years.
In the harem, it is not very safe to have a son under the knees, but it is not the same to have two sons, of course, this also requires the mother concubine to be able to protect her children, otherwise, even if there are two sons under the knees,
Even three or four, I'm afraid it's difficult to cultivate. The daughter who died before her death did not even have a preface on the royal family tree, and the queen mother was sad, but she was helpless, so she was dealing with the growth of her two sons.
That's definitely with 10,000 hearts, especially in matters related to the youngest son, whether it is reasonable or not, there is no one who does not agree, however, the Queen Mother has been self-reflective recently,
felt that she was too good at talking as a mother, so that the backyard of her youngest son had been vacant since the death of the former princess, and there was not even a concubine room and a room to warm the bed.
Now, the seventeen-year-old five-year-old grandson is gradually getting better after being treated by An Renbo, so what reason is there for King Jing to continue to refuse to marry a new princess? Marry a newlywed,
Worried that the other party was calculating the children left by the former princess for the position of the prince, the concubine room and the girl in the room, and also worried that the children left by the former princess would be calculated by women, these are all things that King Jing said,
It was her youngest son who refused to marry a new man again and again over the years, refusing her to stuff him in the backyard, not wanting to force her son to do things he didn't like, and not wanting her grandson with mental problems to be calculated by his stepmother.
But now the situation is different, Xia Mubai's situation is improving, where can the Queen Mother still bear to continue to live an ascetic life by King Jing, so, in the middle of the afternoon today, Xia Mohan was passed to Shou'an Palace by the big eunuch beside the Queen Mother,
opened his mouth to block the reason that Xia Mohan has often used to refuse to marry a newcomer for many years, and at the same time pinched the handkerchief to wipe his tears, seeing that Xia Mohan pursed the corners of his mouth tightly, he never responded, so his face changed, put down a "cruel word", and waved his hand away.
Doesn't Xia Mohan understand the Queen Mother's hard work?
No, he understands, knows that the Queen Mother feels sorry for him and cares about him, so he is both soft and hard, urging him and forcing him to marry a new person to enter the door, hoping that he can be accompanied by a woman who knows cold and hot......
But the queen mother's painstaking efforts he understands and knows, but he doesn't want to settle like before, he doesn't want to spend his life with a woman casually, he doesn't want to be like the emperor and his brother, just for the sake of the heirs, only for the physiological needs, and have multiple women.
He wants to find a woman who makes his heart flutter and is in love with him for a lifetime.
This is almost the same as what his friend wants, if he wants to marry, he will marry the woman who is not her, and for the rest of his life, only he and her, stay together. has his own ideas in his heart, and it is naturally difficult for him to respond to the Queen Mother......
Looking at the rainy curtain, Xia Mohan sighed secretly, moved his gaze, and looked at the direction where the East Palace was located.
Xun is an ancient wind instrument, according to historical records, the development stage is in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, so its timbre has an obvious spiritual temperament unique to the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
But all the Xun songs, it sounds simple, vigorous, melodious, tragic, and makes people can't help but feel sad and nostalgic, and can't help but burst into tears.
Did she play it?
Looking at the direction of the East Palace steadily, quietly listening to the tactful and poignant Xun song, Xia Mohan asked himself in his heart. It must be her...... His intuition told him that he could play the song so perfectly, and that this song was so unfamiliar, it was not any song he had ever heard, and he couldn't think of a second person except her.
It was his intuition that told him so definitely that she was the one who blew the horn!
Strange feelings surged uncontrollably into his heart, Xia Mohan was unfamiliar with such a feeling, no, to be precise, some time ago, he was not very familiar with this feeling, but he could slowly get in touch,
When watching her and the tenants laughing and digging sweet potatoes, the strange feelings and palpitations that came to his heart were telling him what it means to be excited.
A very different woman, a very good woman, speaking and acting elegantly, calmly, not humble, not arrogant, a pair of clear eyes calm and wise, in his life, like this woman, he has seen this one!
I don't know how long it has been, the sound of Xun gradually subsided, Xia Mohan came back to his senses, and the corners of his mouth slowly rippled out with a bitter smile, his heart was moving, what was the use of his heart moving? She...... He has no intention of him, and he will not be mistaken......
It's not that he's conceited, just his face, just his identity, but anyone who sees his woman, there is no one who doesn't blush and heartbeat, but what...... She was an accident.
Seeing him, his eyes were calm, without the slightest fluctuation, even if he was amazing, his eyes were clear and calm, frank and open, as if he was looking at an extremely ordinary person.
After several contacts, in the face of him, she was always so natural, without the slightest bit of the shame that a woman should have.
For this, he felt lost. It turns out that he is not as good and excellent as he thinks he is, otherwise, why can't he attract her attention?
Even a little attention was not in her eyes.
The late autumn wind was full of wisps of coolness, retracting his gaze locked in the direction of the East Palace, Xia Mohan turned around, walked out of the pavilion, stepped on the wet flower path paved with cobblestones, and walked slowly towards the dormitory in the palace before he left the palace to open the mansion.
"Haven't you grown up?!"
Emperor Yongkang was sitting in Xia Mohan's dormitory, and when he saw Xia Mohan, he frowned, opened his mouth and scolded lightly.
"Brother Huang is looking for a minister?"
Xia Mo couldn't see any emotion on his jade-like face, he looked at Emperor Yongkang, standing in the center of the hall without moving.
"Let's go shower and change my clothes first."
Emperor Yongkang urged angrily, and didn't say a word of superfluous words.
Stunned for a moment, Xia Mohan took a sip and walked towards the inner hall with his feet raised. Almost a quarter of an hour later, Xia Mo came out of the inner hall in a loose moon-white robe, his half-dried black hair scattered at random behind his head, he sat down on a chair not far from Emperor Yongkang, took a sip of the hot tea offered by the palace people, did not look at Emperor Yongkang, and did not speak. "It was the Queen Mother who asked me to come over."
Emperor Yongkang was so angry that Xia Mohan's indifferent appearance was so angry that he grinded his teeth: "You can't not be angry with the queen mother?" Good words can't persuade you, and you can't come hard, what do you want the queen mother to do with you? I don't believe you don't know the queen mother's intentions! ”
Putting down the teacup, Xia Mohan raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Yongkang: "In life, you don't necessarily have to be accompanied by another person, I think I'm very good now, besides, with Mu Bai's current situation, it won't be long before I can get married." ”
"Let's not say that Mu Bai hasn't decided to marry yet, even if Mu Bai marries, what does it have to do with you, the father?"
Emperor Yongkang secretly rolled his eyes, and said seriously: "If you really have that meaning for An Renbo, and you don't want me to interfere, you can marry someone back to Jingwangfu by yourself, otherwise, don't blame me for telling the queen mother of your thoughts, and the queen mother will directly give you and An Renbo a marriage." ”
"If the royal brother wants to have a dislike with the imperial sister-in-law, just do as you say."
Xia Mohan's tone was neither salty nor light, and he was not afraid of Emperor Yongkang asking the Queen Mother to make a small report, and glanced at his lazy and elegant appearance, Emperor Yongkang couldn't help but grind his teeth again: "Say, what do you think?" ”
Hearing this, Xia Mohan's eyelids drooped, and a touch of gloom flashed at the bottom of his eyes, but this emotion was covered by his crow-like eyelashes, and he was not seen by Emperor Yongkang, he pulled the corners of his mouth and said lightly: "Didn't my brother say, it's good to be like this now, and there is no need to make any changes." ”
Why would he say anything if it wasn't possible?
"Don't tell me you're not confident in yourself."
Emperor Yongkang looked directly at Xia Mohan, and his expression pretended to be serious: "You are the prince of Great Xia, with a graceful and moonlit rhyme, and a noble character, and you can govern the country with literature and martial arts, just a unique man like you, as long as you are willing, even if An Renbo is a fairy in the world......"
Xia Mohan sat up straight and cut off Emperor Yongkang: "Your Majesty, the ministers have a few catties and a few taels, and the ministers know for themselves, you really don't need to bother with the affairs of the ministers and An Renbo." ”
As soon as he heard this, Yongkang Diden was laughed angrily and got up: "Okay, very good, you are an adult, you have your own ideas, the imperial brother can't control you, okay, I'll wait to see how you regret it!" ”
If you have that mind, why not really take action? Stinky boy! He is not in a hurry about his own affairs, but he is as anxious as his brother, forget it, he should save his worries,
There's nothing wrong with sitting still and watching a play. Sending Emperor Yongkang to sit on the imperial chariot, Xia Mohan pursed his lips and stood outside the palace for a long time, until Emperor Yongkang's imperial chariot disappeared, then retracted his gaze and returned to the palace.
Ye Xia didn't know that there was a peach blossom blooming for her in this world, well, even if she knew, it was estimated that Ye Xia would not have anything to do except for being stunned.
After all, she didn't do anything, did she?!
The night was silent, like frost and moonlight spreading all over the ground, Ye Xia helped the child tuck the quilt after Xia Chengrui fell asleep, straightened his waist, and went to the house where Ye Qingxin lived in the side hall.
"Sister."
Pushing the door into the house, Ye Xia closed the door casually, called Ye Qingxin softly, and sat down on the chair next to the table.
"Thank you!"
Ye Qingxin's eyes originally fell on the flickering candle flame, but when she heard Ye Xia's voice, she shifted her gaze and smiled at Ye Xia, her tone was sincere, and her eyes were full of gratitude.
"You've been saying this every day lately, and my ears are calloused!"
Ye Xia smiled back, and plucked out his ears with a gesture, seeing that Ye Qingxin's heart was warm, he heard Ye Xia say again: "You are my own sister, Rui'er is my own nephew, when you need me,
I'll take care of one or two by the side, it's just a small matter, and I'll say polite words wherever you need to meet. If you say it in the next few days, I promise that I will not enter the palace again. ”
Ye Qingxin's expression was moved: "Xia Xia, you know how terrible smallpox is, if you don't know how to heal, I'm afraid Rui'er and I will have to explain our lives in this East Palace." ”
Speaking of this, Ye Qingxin's eyes suddenly turned cold, and Ye Xia couldn't help but be stunned, and soon, she heard Ye Qingxin say that the prince was suffering from smallpox, and for a while, Ye Xia didn't know how to comfort the other party.
"Once I find out the person who harmed Rui'er, I swear that I will never let the other party go!"
is so ruthless to her Rui'er, and her crime should be punished by the Nine Clans! Ye Qingxin clenched her fists, and the coldness in her eyes was replaced by ruthlessness.
"What you said may be true, but I hope my sister can handle it calmly when she finds out the truth."
Murdering the prince is a big crime, in this feudal era where the imperial power is supreme, when the nine clans are punished, when they think of such a result, to be honest, Ye Xia feels quite infiltrating, but then again, if she hadn't come to this time and space, and didn't come up with a way to plant cowpox in time, I was afraid that more people would die.
There are also updates.
