229: Happiness and suffering
"Oops it's here"
Zhang Yan let out an exclamation, but it was Liu Ying who picked her up and walked to the bed
Although she has been favored since she was a child, and the relationship with Ah Weng and Liu Ying is very good, but the elders are close to the juniors, always a little more solemn, a little less frivolous, never with such an intimate posture to be held and walk, in Liu Ying's arms to support the upper body up, seeing that his feet are hanging in the air, a little heartwarming, and a little strange feeling, so he giggled
Liu Ying felt a little sad, only felt that Huai Jiaren was as light as a feather, as if the wind blew lightly, as if it could fly away, and even the bones of the tentacles gave birth to a faint touch from A Yan's body The faint fragrance lingered on the tip of the nose, the two reunited after a long absence, obviously the heart was appropriate, but there was a pain in the heart, not serious, but lingering, penetrating into the five organs and six lungs, gnawing like a small worm
He had nowhere to solve this emotion, and he didn't want Ah Yan to know, so he only lowered his head and asked his wife, "Do you feel hard to be pregnant with a child?" β
"No" Zhang Yan smiled, stretched out her hand to press her abdomen, and her cheeks showed shallow dimples.
"The baby is very well-behaved, at that time we were on the grassland, he knew that his mother had something important, never noisy, I didn't know that with him until he came out of the Huns, when he was about to arrive in Shu County, he couldn't stand it, so he said hello to me these days, I just drowsy, and there was nothing else wrong with it"
β¦β¦
Standing under the window, she could hear the murmur of the room, and gradually her voice lowered, so she laughed with satisfaction
The most noble couple of the Han Empire in the house, after a long absence, quickly ran in sweetly, although there had been some hardships between each other, but she looked up and looked at the night sky of the summer garden
The dark clouds don't know when to disperse, revealing a clear and beautiful moon, sprinkling a faint light just like the depression of Weiyang Palace since Empress Zhang escaped, everything has passed, from now on, it will be a blue sky
"That's right," when she was about to blow out the lamp, Zhang Yan suddenly remembered and pulled Liu Ying's sleeve, "Hold it, I have a few things I want to tell you"
"What?"
"The first one is Meng Guan"
"You know, I came back from the Huns all the way, for the convenience of remembering, and Meng Guan is commensurate with brother and sister, he really helped me a lot, yesterday I came back, I asked Zhang Jing, the head of the Hou Mansion, to take care of him, but after all, it was not enough, now I am heavy, and it is not good to go out at will, I want to ask you to help me personally thank him"
Liu Ying thought for a while, and after a while, Fang said, "Okay"
After Zhang Yan became pregnant, she lacked energy, yawned, cheered up again, and muttered, "There is also the matter of Yue's family"
"Yue's?" Liu Ying was very surprised
As far as he knows, the Yueshi is also a nomadic people in the north, it is said that the Qin Dynasty bordered the Yuan, and later the Chu and Han Dynasty competed, and Mao Dun took the opportunity to unify the northern grasslands, and the Yueshi also shrank westward, gradually extinct from the original
"Yes" Zhang Yan pursed her lips and smiled, "I once heard someone say an idea, cooperate with the Yueshi, and the East and West will attack the Xiongnu This time I came back from the Xiongnu, passing through the Yueshi, coinciding with the coup d'Γ©tat of the Yueshi country, in order to get out, I talked with the king of the Ren Yueshi once"
She informed Liu Ying of the details of the negotiation with An Zhi, Liu Ying pondered for a moment, and said, "I know this matter, I will take you Ah Weng to deal with it, and you will leave it alone, just take care of the fetus."
"Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
"Hmm" Zhang Yan cupped up her spirit and smiled, "Tomorrow I want to go to Changle Palace and meet Grandma."
"No," Liu Ying's face changed, and she refused directly, and then realized that something was wrong, and softened her expression, and said, "You have to be raised in the Hou Mansion now, and you are the queen mother, and I will help you speak."
"You don't know how serious it is."
Zhang Yan frowned and explained, "Speaking of which, I went out of the palace willfully this time, and you were almost in danger, although Grandma didn't say anything on the surface, I must have been annoyed in my heart I just came back yesterday, and it's just two days, if I don't go over to see Grandma in person and admit my mistakes, Grandma will not forgive me."
"How can it be as powerful as you say?" Liu Ying was quite unimpressed,
"You just rest obediently," he pressed her limbs and lay down, carefully and cherishing the quilt for her, "Even if the queen mother is annoyed, after all, you are also the one she has watched growing up since she was a child, and sometimes, she loves you more than I hurt, and she won't really hate you," his eyes moved to Zhang Yan's belly, "You are still pregnant with a child"
Even for the sake of this child she has been looking forward to for a long time, Empress Lu will not really be angry with Ah Yan
On the contrary, it is Ah Yan herself,
He looked at Zhang Yan's emaciated cheeks and said with pity, "Look at you, now that you are so thin, not to mention how much effort it takes to go to Changle Palace, speaking of which, the temper of the queen mother is not good, if you are a little angry with her, or see a group of people who are not, wouldn't it be bad?" With me and your mother talking for you, the queen mother won't really annoy you."
"I'm not ......" She frowned anxiously, and wanted to say something more, but a feeling of nausea suddenly came up in her heart, strong and unbearable, and she couldn't care about anything for a while, crossed his body, leaned on the edge of the bed and retched
β¦β¦
Maybe the child in Zhang Yan's belly is really a well-behaved child, but no matter how well-behaved the child is, after all, he has his own temper and wandered and stranded in his mother's home for four months, he has been quiet, and he has not added much trouble to his mother, but the day after Zhang Yan returned to Chang'an and everything settled down, he finally made it
After that, Zhang Yan burst out with a strong reaction to the joy for a while, she couldn't eat any food and medicinal soup, she barely ate a few bites, and she would vomit out quickly in the next moment, not to mention replenishing the body, even the mother's own nutrition could not be guaranteed and she was also chaotic and sleepy, and she was a little dizzy and dizzy in the rare waking hours
Liu Ying was worried about her wife and son, and after all, she put aside the taboo of gossip about others, and went back and forth between Weiyang Palace and Xinping Marquis Mansion every day, accompanying Zhang Yan
For a long time in the future, Zhang Yan was trapped in Xia Yuan, drowsy, whether it was Liu Ying rushing to her side after dealing with a day's politics, wiping her hands and feet, and kissing her forehead; Or before the first rays of sunlight rose in the morning of the second day, she lifted the quilt from her side, got up and freshened up, and rushed back to Weiyang Palace to see that she didn't know very well but suddenly woke up in the middle of the night that day, her spirit was surprisingly clear, and she turned her head and saw that on the bed next to her, Liu Ying was sleeping there quietly, with a dark blue quilt covering his body, even in the middle of the night, he could still see a slightly frowning brow
She looked at the man, a little dumbfounded
I don't know how long it took, beside her, Liu Ying's brows suddenly frowned, and she said vaguely, "Ah Yan," the voice was a little anxious, she was stunned, and quickly replied, "Hey" I thought he was awake, but it turned out that he was not awake at all, just stretched out his hand, groped indiscriminately, touched the warm face of the woman next to him, opened his eyes and looked blankly, confirming that it was his wife, so he smiled at ease, "You're still here, it's so good" hugged him into his arms and fell asleep again
β¦β¦
All of a sudden, she felt that her nose was sore, and she tried desperately to endure it, but she couldn't help it at all, and the tears fell in strings, falling into the quilt in the dark night, leaching out faint wet marks
She went through hardships and dangers, and it took four months before and after, and finally escaped from the Huns, and returned to Chang'an thinking that she could finally get out of that nightmare, and she enjoyed happiness in peace but did not expect that she came out by herself, but Liu Ying still remained in the shadow of the days when she lost her, suffering from gains and losses, and needed to confirm that she was still by her side from time to time to rest assured
Under the dark kraft paper lampshade, the Babao Sheep's Horn Palace lamp on the bed emits a soft and dim light, casting it between square inches, reflecting the bedroom at night with an ambiguous warmth
Since she left the Hou Mansion and married into the Weiyang Palace, the summer garden of the Xinping Hou Mansion is still according to the appearance of her own unfinished cabinet, always tidying up, maintaining the appearance of being able to live in people, and will spread a thick brown and red warm blanket in winter, so that you will not feel cold when you get up at night
When she was a girl, she once spent a period of time in this gorgeous boudoir, pushed open the window, looked in the direction of Weiyang Palace, and missed Liu Ying
And she has been a human being for two lives, looking for and seeking, hoping to find an embrace that can be trusted and relied on Now in this simple and clean early Han, she can finally realize her wishes, and her heart should be very happy, but at this moment, in the boudoir where she lived in her girlhood, she gave birth to an urge to cry, but from a period of bitterness
Changle Palace's vermilion lacquer, heavy smoke and heavy screens are all heavy, which is the dignified style that the Empress Dowager Lu is accustomed to liking, and can best reflect the majesty and power of her Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty
At this time, Empress Lu sat behind the couch in the hall, and a woman in yellow clothes sat behind her, gently hammering her shoulders and back
"Queen Mother," Princess Lu Yuan held the pot in her hand and poured her mother a cup of tea from early spring
ββ¦β¦ Speaking of which, we have been drinking ginger boiled tea for so many years, and there is nothing bad about Ah Yan's mouth, saying that she is not used to drinking it, she tossed the hand-copied tea, and the queen mother and I were also taken by her to the taste, and now I want to go back to taste the boiled tea, I don't feel used to it."
The woman in the yellow dress covered her mouth and smiled, "Grandmother, you see, Aunt Lu Yuan is changing her way to intercede with you to the queen mother, if you want me to say, you should let the queen mother go this time, otherwise, my aunt will definitely be very sad" raised her head from behind Queen Lu, revealing a bright face
Empress Lu glared at her daughter, "If you weren't my daughter, I would definitely kick you out of this Changle Palace, would you be so clumsy?" "There is a bit of a hatred that iron does not become steel
Lu Yuan shut up, but the expression on his face was still a little disapproving
Empress Lu sighed, "It's okay to be stupid, it's ...... anyway"
Now there is no one who can bully this eldest princess of the Han Dynasty in the hands of her and the emperor
