259: Sacrifice (I)
"It's good to be good." Lu Yuan said, "But she has an ear disease after all." Her very existence is a slander to you. If you want to get rid of this crisis as soon as possible, the best way is to have another child, a healthy child, as soon as possible. ”
"If it's a prince, it's naturally the best, but even if it's a princess again, it doesn't matter. As long as it is a healthy child, the people's attention will naturally be diverted, which is also a good thing for Hao. ”
"Ah Yan,"
Princess Lu Yuan's earnest voice sounded in Zhang Yan's ears, "You are distressed and sick, I naturally know it." You are a good mother, and no one can blame you for your distress. However, you also have to think about yourself and your Majesty. ”
"These days, Your Majesty has done a lot of things for your mother and daughter, if it weren't for him outside to shield you from the wind and rain, do you think your mother and daughter would be able to live a carefree life in the Jiaofang Palace? Although you are his wives and daughters, it is his duty to protect you. But at the same time, you, as a wife, can't help but do something for him. Ah Yan, Your Majesty, he needs a healthy prince, an heir from the Zhang family. Even if we don't talk about this, then again, having another prince can also consolidate your position, and in the future, you will have a sibling brother to rely on. ”
Zhang Yan was silent for a long time, and then said, "A-Niang, I know." ”
*********
The south wind in spring and February rustles the leaves of the plane trees outside the Jiaofang Temple. The people of the Jiaofang Palace walked through the hall, well-trained, and none of them made a sound.
The girl in the mirror has picturesque willow eyebrows, apricot eyes like stars, white as snow, delicate skin like honey and a young and full forehead. Zhang Yan sat in front of the mirror and looked at her body with her eyes down. may be because of her young age, after giving birth to Liu Zhi, her figure recovered quickly, under the gorgeous clothes, her waist is slender, as before she gave birth, she doesn't seem to be able to see at all that she is already the mother of a baby girl.
The smile is bitter.
These days, she is anxious about Liu Zhi's condition and spends most of her thoughts on Liu Zhi. Naturally, she ignored some other things, and it wasn't until Lu Yuan arrived that she was reminded of an important matter.
Although there is already Liu Zhi. But she always seems to be insensitive to pregnancy and won't take it to heart.
She and Liu Ying met as a teenager, got married at the age of thirteen, and after four years of twists and turns, they finally came together. The two of them were in the clouds for only a month, and they gave birth to Liu Zhi. After Liu Zhi was left, she spent two months of confinement before recovering. The young husband and wife were separated as soon as they joined the Mandarin League, and it was easy to reunite. She is already pregnant, and after the pregnancy and childbirth in October, how can the two of them endure it. was a little closer, and she never got pregnant again until she found out about Liu Zhi's illness, she was anxious, and she ignored this matter again.
Should I have another child?
The green silk is full of green. Circling on the top of the hair, like a cloud. When it spreads, it looks like a pool of black water. Soft and laxative. Since the two of them had a round house, her green silk is Liu Ying's favorite, and he always likes to kiss her hair when Yan is good.
Apricot eyes blinked slightly, and she suddenly remembered the vast and empty horizon of the northland, and the endless grasslands under the sky. The Northland was the place she thought would be the place she would return for the rest of her life, but in the end it turned out to be just a journey in her life, and she would never have the chance to go back again, so she slowly faded away. But I don't know why, suddenly at this time, I deeply remembered that running a horse on the northland grassland seems to be more open than Chang'an, listening to the wind that passes by my ears, as if the past love and hatred can be temporarily forgotten.
The first time I was with Liu Ying, it was in the Northland, and at that time, his phoenix eyes, because of their erect *, had a scorching luster. The sweat on his forehead dipped his hair and dripped down his neck, and he whispered in his ear, "If you really want to be punished, you can come with me." ”
- She didn't really want to have children so early. After all, she is too young, and she hopes to spend a few years of free time and enjoy the sweetness of love before thinking about it.
However, she has Liu Zhi.
When she finally returned from all her suffering, he was stunned and very happy to learn about her pregnancy.
She looked at Liu Ying's appearance and thought to herself, this is fine.
Speaking of which, Liu Ying's age is not too young. Twenty-four years old, in this era, it seems that a twenty-four-year-old man should have a group of children under his knees, but he only has a prince born unexpectedly in his early years, not to mention, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he needs a prince to determine the inheritance.
So, let's have a baby.
Liu Zhi's phoenix eyes are exactly the same as her Ah Weng. She has always liked her daughter's eyes the most. When she was just born, the first baby cried, she lay on the delivery bed, heard it, smiled with peace of mind, and felt like a heavenly sound.
Liu Zhi is just a princess, not a prince.
But what does it matter? She and Liu Ying are both young, affectionate, and have a lot of time to have other children.
And Liu Zhi is their first child, how much she hopes to be happy, but it's a pity, because of her hard work in the early stages of pregnancy, she did illness in the womb, and after birth, she couldn't hear the sound of the world.
A tear fell from the beautiful apricot kernel eyes, dripped on the back of the grate, and there was no other trace.
And Lu Yuan's advice just now seemed to ring in his ears again, "...... Ah Yan, you listen to your mother's advice, a princess who was born with a deaf ear is a slander to your position as the queen. Now, everyone is taking pictures of the suppression of the Zhang Lu family and the emperor, and they have not dared to come out to attack you. But in the long run, after all, you are weak, and if you want to eliminate this crisis as soon as possible, you should have a healthy prince as soon as possible. ”
How does she not want to have another healthy child?
Liu Ying naturally loves Liu Zhi, but he also looks forward to a prince. It's not that Liu Zhi is bad, but in this patriarchal society, only one prince can be inherited.
"Ah Yan,"
On the Beidi Plain by the Fu River, Liu Ying once held her hand and pointed to the mountains and rivers, full of pride, "Look. This is the country of the Han Dynasty. When we return to Chang'an, we will give birth to many princes and princesses, they will love each other, and when they grow up, I will pass on this country to the eldest son, and then find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live the life of ordinary women and husbands, okay? ”
And she pursed her lips and smiled, only to feel intoxicated. Although there was no explicit promise, it had already been agreed.
Then. The Huns have not yet entered the Kou, they have just made up their minds, and the sunset is a gorgeous brocade on the horizon. Dyed everything in the Northland Prairie with a gentle color.
Perhaps, at an earlier time, before he said, "As long as you are by my side." I don't need another woman. She had already put it all down. Let go of all the unpleasant memories and grievances of the past, and want to create a happy and sweet future with him. She believes in him, and believes that if she gives birth to a child in the future, Liu Ying will teach her to be petted; It is believed that he selfishly intended to pass on the throne to the prince from whom he came; believe
For the rest of their lives, they will all be together. ”
Zhang Yan closed her eyes deeply. The heart is desolate.
When her eyes opened again, she had already made up her mind.
","
Tu Yu entered the hall with a plate of horseshoe cakes. smiled Yingying said, "You only used a small bowl of corn soup in the morning, I'm afraid that you will be hungry for a long time, this is the horseshoe cake made by Cen Niang, you might as well use a little to taste." ”
"Hmm." Zhang Yan looked back. "Speaking of which, I'm really hungry." The expression is calm. As if nothing had happened, he reached out and twisted a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth.
The snow-white and delicate horseshoe cake, the entrance is sweet and fragrant, and it is still steaming with freshly baked water, she tasted it in small sips, patted off the crumbs on her hands casually, and smiled,
"Speaking of which, Jie Jie is also the favorite to eat this scumbag."
"yes." Tu Yu smiled, "At that time, Niangniang had not yet married into Weiyang Palace, we lived in the Hou Mansion of Xinping County, and the things were cheap. ”
Xie Wei was originally a female official of Jiaofang Palace, and Zhang Yan was in charge a few years ago, and she married the eldest son of Lu Da, the owner of Lu's paper shop, and she has been young for half a year.
Zhang Yan got up and ordered, "Tu Yu, it's good for you to go to the Lu family to see her on my behalf." ”
Empress Zhang has always treated the old people around them very well, and it is reasonable to have this order, Tu Yu did not doubt it at all, and responded with a smile, "No." ”
Liu Zhi, the eldest princess of Fanyang, was a little sleepy during the day today because of the fuss last night. Zhang Yan simply asked Sang Niang to take the eldest princess back to the side hall for a nap, Chu Fu took Yu Zhang to check the private mansion of the Middle Palace, and the people who were waiting in the Jiaofang Palace were only Hanlian, Shi Nan and Fuyao.
Zhang Yan sat on the rocking chair in the east chamber, smoked a copy of "Zuo Chuan", watched it under the window, took the freshly brewed Wuyang tea of heather, took a sip, frowned slightly, and said,
"This Wuyang tea is sweet, and when used with the newly made horseshoe cake, it seems a little incompatible. I remember that a few days ago, the private house newly bought Mengding tea, which was fresh and fresh, and it was the most suitable for this horseshoe cake. Heather, you go and get some auspicious stamen. Well, Fuyao, in Chang'an City, the best water quality is the well water in front of the Yaohua Hall in Beigong. If you go and get it, don't let those irrelevant people touch it, and the tea brewed in that way will not be clean. ”
Shi Nan and Fuyao should be in unison, and they went away.
Zhang Yan turned a page of the book, and saw the three-year volume of Duke Yin: "Duke Wei Zhuang married the sister of the minister of Qidong Palace, called Zhuang Jiang, beautiful but childless, and Wei Ren's actions endowed "Shuoren" also. I couldn't help but get irritable, and closed the scroll in my hand with a snap.
Han Lian stood behind him, suddenly startled, quietly looked up at Queen Zhang, and saw that Queen Zhang was staring blankly at the bronze crane incense burner in the hall, as if she had an understanding.
The funnel in one corner of the temple fell drop by drop, making a clear sound. Han Lian gritted her teeth, suddenly stepped forward, knelt on the ground, pressed her left hand with her right hand, stretched her sleeves in front of her, and touched the ground with her forehead at the same time, "The slave is not talented, if the queen mother has orders, the slave and the maid are willing to share the worries of the queen mother." ”
Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment and smiled, "You are a clever person." Just ......"
"Niangniang," Hanlian bowed to the ground again, and said solemnly, "Hanlian's life was saved by the queen Niangniang at the beginning, but Niangniang, please command, Hanlian will never give up." ”
Zhang Yan finally made up her mind, lowered her eyes and said softly, "Okay, Hanlian, you quietly go to the Imperial Doctor's Office and call the female doctor Chunyu to me." ”
