"Hold on," Zhang Yan raised her head and smiled in surprise, "You're back?" The child is still young, why does it bother me? ”

Liu Ying stopped Zhang Yan from getting up, "You are heavy, just sit down." Didn't we say we would name him? I've drafted these words, can you take a look? ”

"Oh?" Zhang Yan smiled and said, "What did you propose?" I took the plate paper handed over by Liu Ying, unfolded it, and saw that on the snow-white paper, more than a dozen names such as Ting, Min, Xu, and Xiao were written in Yulin ink, and the first three of them were outlined in red ink, which I think was Liu Ying's more satisfactory choice.

"I think it's all pretty good," she said, "if there's no better one, just choose the word 'Xu', which sounds good, has a good meaning, and is mighty." ”

"Do you also like the word Asahi?" Liu Ying smiled, "I also like this name!" "Taixuan? There is a saying from "Fang, 'Fang out of Xuxu.'" 'Xu is the meaning of light, and it is also a metaphor for the rising sun, which is exactly what we conceived when the sun rose in Peijun. Asahi can be dismantled into nine days, with enough heat, and for boys, it can also suppress the meaning of a lifetime of insufficiency. It couldn't be better! ”

"Whatever he's called, it's good." Zhang Yan pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Liu Ying with a pair of apricot eyes, bright and affectionate, "As long as you, who are Ah Weng, love him." ”

"What stupid things are you talking about?" Liu Ying kissed her forehead and said with a smile, "I've been looking forward to him for many years, who does he hurt if he doesn't hurt him?" ”

He hugged Zhang Yan and sat down, "By the way, what are you going to do today?" ”

"She!"

Speaking of her daughter, Zhang Yan pursed her lips and laughed softly, "She has been learning words with Sang Niang recently, and now Sang Niang taught her "Guan Ju", poetry, she read it all morning, and Baba ran to me and said that she wanted to read the poem to her little brother. He read to me for half an hour, and he looked like it. ”

Liu Ying also laughed when she heard this, "This kid knows how to love his brothers and sisters, it's good." She is not young anymore, and it is time to ask a master to teach her. ”

"Hmm." Zhang Yan nodded with a smile, "That's right." I'll be mindful in the future. ”

"I have seen the fold you sent to the Xuanshu Palace," Liu Ying said as if inadvertently, "I have thought about it carefully, Tuanzi is only twelve years old this year. When I first left Chang'an to join the country, it is normal to miss my parents. Yuan Luo's invitation, if it is usual. I was also approved. It's just," he turned his head to look at Zhang Yan's slightly bulging lower abdomen,

"You're pregnant at this time."

Zhang Yan pursed her lips and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, Ah Yan doesn't understand this." What does this have to do with Ah Yan's children? ”

Liu Ying smiled good-naturedly and said in a deep voice, "Although they are both princes, the distinction between concubines and concubines should be clearer. He looked at Zhang Yan's lower abdomen, "Ah Yan, this child in your belly is a prince." Then the position of the prince of the Han Dynasty can be regarded as a set. The eldest and youngest are already unfavorable. The prince needs the world to return to his heart, and letting the king of Huaiyang come back at this time will not do any good, but will make the courtiers suspicious and at a loss. ”

He got up. I took two steps," I thought. This year, I will not call the king of Huaiyang back for the time being, and when Ah Yan, your child is born, and after one year old, he will be considered to be stable, and the overall situation will be decided at that time, and then let him come back, there will be no hindrance to you and the child, and their mother and son can also talk about their love. What do you think? ”

Zhang Yan stretched out her hand to stroke the child in her belly, pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Liu Ying's expression with great tenderness, "Uncle has already thought about me so much, if I don't appreciate it, wouldn't I be too ignorant!" ”

Liu Ying smiled and hugged Zhang Yan into her arms, "Ah Yan! ”

When Liu Ying entered Zhang Yan's Jiaofang Palace, in the Hanguang Pavilion, Yuan Luo was kneeling on the ground, and after listening to the edict of the Son of Heaven conveyed by Wang Xi, she bowed down and bowed, "The concubine receives the decree." "The hands hidden in the sleeves are tightly clenched,

"Eunuch Wang," Yuan Luo said, getting up, "I'll send you out." ”

"No need." Wang Xi smiled faintly, "The slave doesn't dare to accept such grace from a beautiful lady, so I'll go back to the decree." ”

Yuan Luo stood in the empty Hanguang Palace, looking at the direction of the Jiaofang Palace, her face was extremely ugly.

"Lady," Yan Ning tremblingly persuaded, "Since Your Majesty has already issued a clear decree to reject it, you can't do it, so it is better to wait for Your Majesty to let King Huaiyang return to Chang'an next year." ”

"You know what?" Yuan Luo sneered and reprimanded, "Get out." ”

Yan Ning gently bent her knees and answered "No", hurriedly withdrew, standing under the corridor in the corner of Hanguang Pavilion, the more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Yo, isn't this Sister Yan Ning?"

Yan Ning hurriedly wiped away her tears, turned around and smiled, "It's Wenjian." ”

Wen Jian asked with concern, "Did the beautiful lady scold you?" ”

Yan Ning smiled reluctantly, "It's nothing." ”

"Okay," Wen Jian comforted her, "you and I are both serving beautiful women, what is the point if we still hide something from each other?" Since the news of the queen's pregnancy again, Yuan Niangzi's mood has not been very good. My little yellow door is still better, you are the palace maid who serves by her side, be more careful. ”

Yan Ning felt grateful in her heart, pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you for comforting me!" ”

In the middle of the night, a cuckoo call came from Hanguang Pavilion, and the candle flame flickered slightly, and quickly returned to silence.

"Beautiful lady," a voice whispered, "Ah Jian said, now that the time is not with me, the queen mother is firmly in the middle palace, and she is pregnant again, and even the queen mother has given her a good color again because of this child." If a prince is born safely, it can be regarded as the bottom of the overall situation. The chances of King Huaiyang are not much. If the beauty lady lets go at this time, she can also protect her wealth for a lifetime, and the king of Huaiyang will also be able to be a peaceful and idle king in the future, and then take the lady out, and the day of the lady's happiness is still ahead? ”

Yuan Luo sneered, "Ah Jian sees that the momentum is not good at this time, do you want to get off the boat?" It's a pity that my boat is not so easy to get off. ”

"...... you?" Xiao Huangmen's voice became sharp in surprise, and after a while, Fang said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"I'm not interesting."

Yuan Luo spread her wide sleeves and sat on the couch in the pavilion, and the night without a star outlining her silhouette in the dark outlined a kind of leisurely charm.

"I'm just asking you to tell the eunuch that some things don't want to be treated as if they haven't been done and really haven't done them. On that day, Empress Zhang was in distress, and His Majesty found out about the building, so he ended it in a hurry and did not go down. If you let Your Majesty and Empress Zhang know that there is also a eunuch intervening in this. I'm afraid that the end of Ah Jian won't be too good-looking! ”

There was silence in the pavilion for a while, and Xiao Huangmen's gloomy laughter came from a low voice, "I didn't expect that our master and apprentice would be threatened by you now. It's just that the lady has to think clearly, if this thing breaks out, our master and apprentice will not end well, will you be very good, beautiful lady? ”

Yuan Luo covered her face with her wide sleeves, giggled, and her voice was miserable, "If my group can't ascend to the throne of God." You say, what's the use of me keeping this cheap life? ”

"You" Xiao Huangmen obviously didn't expect Yuan Luo to say this, she was discouraged and scared. Said fiercely, "...... What a madman. ”

"Then you'll think I'm crazy." Yuan Luo said, got up and made a bow towards the little yellow door, "This salute should be made by me to Ah Jian." I have my own way to get His Majesty to agree to summon the King of Huaiyang back, and for the rest, I will ask Ah Jian to help him vigorously. ”

Early the next morning, Yuan Meiren launched a high fever.

When Wulan, the palace man of Hanguang Pavilion, hurried to the Jiaofang Hall to report, Liu Ying was getting up to go to the front hall. Queen Zhang is a little late lately because she is pregnant. At this point, I haven't gotten up yet. Chu Fumu heard the movement and instructed the palace people, "Good life is waiting for everyone." Don't let these trifles be alarmed. ”

The little palace replied, "No." ”

She came out on her own, entered a side hall of the Jiaofang Palace, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Fum." Ulan hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. "Please let the queen save our lady! The lady is very sick, and if she doesn't hurry up, she will die. ”

“…… She's hard enough on herself. Zhang Yan listened to Chu Fumu's report on the early morning, and was stunned for a while, Fang exhaled and sighed.

"It's ridiculous that the little palace people still want to ask to come to everyone," Chu Fumu sneered, "As a result, everyone didn't hear it at all in the dormitory, so they went directly to the front hall." ”

Zhang Yan shook her head and asked, "Can you let the imperial doctor go?" ”

"Nature." Chu Fumu smiled, "Are slaves so uneasy? After hearing the news, he asked Imperial Doctor Zhu to go over to see Yuan Meiren. ”

Yuan Meiren's illness was menacing, and Dr. Zhu prescribed a prescription after diagnosis and treatment, but after eating according to the prescription for six or seven days, the condition did not improve, but became more thrilling.

"What is Yuan Meiren's illness?" Zhang Yan asked Imperial Doctor Zhu.

"Weichen is ashamed," Zhu Yuyi said, puzzled,

"Yuan Meiren's illness is depressed inside, cold outside, and internal and external. Chen's prescription is right for the symptoms, and it stands to reason that after taking the medicine for so many days, it shouldn't have not improved. …… Now that the patient is like this, I think it is because his heart is depressed and cannot be diverged, which leads to a lingering illness. ”

Zhang Yan pursed her lips and nodded, "I know, let's go down." ”

In the evening, Liu Ying said to Zhang Yan, "Ah Yan, about the King of Huaiyang, I'm afraid I'm going to break my promise to you." ”

From the time she heard that Yuan Meiren was seriously ill, Zhang Yan expected this ending.

Yuan Luo is an opponent who is beyond his strength to himself. For Liu Ying, it is a woman who has given birth to an heir for him, although she has no love, she also has a sense of guilt and is unwilling to look at it too badly. Liu Ying has always been kind-hearted, and Yuan Luo also saw his soft-heartedness, so she did this game, and she fell ill from her own injury, and she successfully made Liu Ying compromise with a soft heart. She didn't want to be angry with Liu Ying because of this, and said with a smile, "This is also a matter of no way, if Yuan Meiren has a good character, she can't let King Huaiyang not be able to send her mother to death." ”

"Ah Yan." Liu Ying felt grateful in her heart and called her name.

Zhang Yan smiled, "Uncle is good for me in his heart, I know." ”

In the seventh year of the Middle Yuan Dynasty, Liu Hong, the king of Huaiyang, came to the court, and after seeing his father in the Xuanshu Palace, he entered the Jiaofang Hall to meet Empress Zhang.

Zhang Yan looked at the twelve-year-old Liu Hong in the palace, dressed in the clothes of the princes and kings in a proper manner, bowed to himself, and said with a smile, "King Huaiyang is exempt." Your mother is sick, so I won't keep you here. You should go to your mother's palace earlier, maybe your mother's concubine will be in a good mood when she sees you coming back, and her condition will improve sooner! ”

Liu Hong respectfully bowed, "Thank you for the grace of the queen mother." The retainers retired. ”

Due to Empress Zhang's pregnancy, this year's first waiver of the gift of congratulatory gifts from foreign women, only ordered people from the Pinghou Mansion to visit the queen in the palace.

Zhang Ao, Marquis of Xinping, respectfully bowed down, "The minister sees the queen." Looking at Zhang Yan's lower abdomen, which was four months pregnant, a trace of joy and satisfaction flashed,

"Ah Weng," Zhang Yan hurriedly got up and stopped, "Are you going to kill your daughter?" ”

"Etiquette should not be abolished." Zhang Ao insisted. He added, "Niangniang has a little prince in her belly, so you must always be careful." ”

“…… Ah Yan," Zhang Ao sat down on the couch in the hall, looked at his daughter in front of him, who had been married for many years, and said, "I know that you have always had some complaints about the events of the year. I feel that Ah Weng is sorry for your mother and Zhao Ji. But Ah Yan, sometimes there is no way to be a man. It's as if you're at peace with Your Majesty again. If you can't give birth to a prince, you will inevitably be sad in the end. ”

"That's right," Zhang Ao laughed.

"Your brother is also eighteen years old this year, it's time to marry a daughter-in-law, I plan to show him a few ladies of the Hou family, but he himself doesn't seem to be very interested, you have had a good relationship with him since childhood. After a while, I will help to ask which one he likes. ”

Zhang Yan nodded, "I know." I'll ask Yan'er. ”

"Ah Yan," Zhang Ao instructed as he said goodbye to the hall, "you have to remember." In any case, the Xinping Marquis Mansion and your brother will stand behind you and support you! ”

Zhang Yan stood in the Jiaofang hall and looked at Zhang Ao who had withdrawn. A ray of winter sunlight shone on his hair, reflecting a line of mottled color, so many years have passed, the handsome and incomparable King Zhao is now showing some mottled white on his sideburns.

She couldn't help but call. "Awen,"

Something. To this day, she still can't fully explain her feelings. But she knows one thing clearly, she doesn't want to lose Zhang Ao, a Weng.

Zhang Ao coughed and looked back, with a hint of anticipation.

"You have to pay attention to your body." Zhang Yan paused for a while, and Fang said, "My two mothers are no longer there, I don't want to have no more Ah Weng." ”

"Okay, okay." Zhang Ao agreed and said happily, "I'll pay attention." Aweng still wants to see your little prince born! ”

The spring breeze blows away the frozen water surface of the Weishui River, the willows on both sides of the river spit green, hang down the soft branches, and the swift swallows flutter across the water, leaving a little ripple from the inside out.

Zhang Yan has reached the time when she is more than seven months pregnant, her abdomen has bulged and is already high, Empress Lu and Liu Ying pay more and more attention to her body, and Imperial Doctor Dong and Imperial Doctor Feng simply live in the Imperial Doctor's Office, always paying attention to Zhang Yan's physical condition, and the entire Jiaofang Hall is also like a great enemy. On this day, Zhang Yan took Tu Yu and Shi Nan's hands for a walk in the imperial garden, and said with a smile, "Where are you so nervous?" I think it's pretty good. ”

"The Queen," said Tu Yu disapprovingly, "you should be considerate and considerate of everyone and us slaves, and serve snacks yourself." ”

Liu Hong, the king of Huaiyang, passed by the imperial garden and saw Zhang Yan, so he came to pay respects, "Erchen has seen the queen mother." ”

Since the beginning of the year, because Yuan Meiren has been lingering on the sickbed, he has never returned to Fengguo, and has been staying in Weiyang Palace to serve the sick.

Zhang Yan nodded and asked with a smile, "King Huaiyang, I don't know how Yuan Meiren's condition is?" ”

Liu Hong's eyebrows darkened slightly, and he said, "The mother's illness is still the same, but it has begun to improve." ”

"That's good." Zhang Yan said with a smile, "I have already instructed the Tai Hospital to take care of Yuan Meiren wholeheartedly, if Yuan Meiren wants to use any medicine, just use it." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Liu Hong thanked him and said, "The son of the minister retired. ”

Zhang Yan watched Liu Hong leave, turned around and ordered, "Ah Fu, you step up your manpower and keep an eye on Yuan Meiren and King Huaiyang." "Yuan Meiren has worked hard to be sick like this, and her thin shape is skeletal, so she doesn't just want to watch herself give birth safely for nothing.

Chu Fumu replied, "No." ”

After another two months, Zhang Yan was about to give birth, this night, just after falling asleep, she felt that her body was hot, her amniotic water broke, and her complexion changed slightly, "I seem to be about to give birth." ”

Liu Ying was taken aback, and hurriedly called, "Someone is coming, quickly announce that the two imperial doctors and the medical woman are coming." ”

The palace people had already cleaned up a delivery room in the Jiaofang Palace, Liu Ying carried Zhang Yan inside, gently placed her on the white cloth boiled in boiling water, and asked, "Ah Yan, how are you?" ”

Labor pains slowly hit, sweat drops fell on Zhang Yan's forehead, she smiled reluctantly and nodded, "I'm fine, you can rest assured." ”

"Don't be afraid," Liu Ying said, "I'll be watching you outside." ”

With the good experience of giving birth last time, this time, Zhang Yan did not panic too much. The child tortured Zhang Yan all night, and was finally born at dawn.

Zhang Yan only heard a baby cry of "wow", loud and powerful, "Born, born." Chu Fumu's joyful voice echoed in his ears.

Exhausted, she asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?" ”

Chu Fumu glanced at the baby, and immediately smiled, "Congratulations to the queen mother, she is a little prince." ”

PS：

The third is more successful. At the speed of this plot, I feel like I'm fast-forwarding and covering my face. Sprinkle flowers to celebrate the birth of the little prince!!
