Queen Fu Chengbi is two years older than Yu Lin, she is thirty-one years old this year, she has never been pregnant since she gave birth to Princess Jianing, she feels that she is getting older, and the emperor has always been indifferent to herself, she only comes to Kunyi Palace once or twice a month to sit, and she no longer hopes for her heirs. I don't want to score two goals now, not to mention winning back the emperor's mind, and I am pregnant, and I am also surprised and refreshed for a while.

Since Princess Yuning, there has been no baby born in the palace for three years, since ancient times, the middle palace conception, if once the prince was born, it is the eldest son, which is of great significance.

Yu Lin was very happy, and specially arranged for several skilled doctors in the Tai Hospital to give birth to the queen, and ordered the imperial dining room to supply ginseng bird's nest and winged ginseng and abalone belly to Kunyi Palace every day, and ordered the weaving bureau to make all kinds of baby packages, clothes, etc. day and night, and instructed the Internal Affairs Office to immediately start selecting reliable nurses, which made people turn upside down.

The queen leaned comfortably on the soft couch and said coquettishly: "The concubine is only more than a month pregnant, why is the emperor so anxious, just prepare slowly." ”

Yu Lin disagreed: "It's better to prepare early, and save the time when the time comes." The queen doesn't have to bother, just arrange it for her subordinates to do it. He thoughtfully asked, "Does the queen have anything to eat now?" Just tell me. ”

The queen smiled and said: "I don't have anything special to eat, but I always want to drink a bowl of sour plum soup these days." ”

When Yu Lin heard this, he shouted to make sour plum soup, and the queen grabbed him and said with a smile: "The emperor doesn't look at what season it is, where are the plums, the concubines are just thinking about it." ”

Yu Lin said with a smile: "It's not long before autumn, the climate in the south is warm, maybe there will be more, I just asked people to pick it quickly." ”

The queen smiled: "Wouldn't such a concubine become Yang Guifei, in order to eat fresh lychees, let the knights of the post station gallop day and night." If the concubine is like this, isn't it as criticized as Yang Guifei? The concubines are just joking, don't take it seriously to the emperor. ”

Yu Lin Wen said: "The queen is so virtuous. If you have anything else you want to eat, tell me, don't be afraid to eat me poor. The queen smiled and nodded.

Yu Lin got up and said: "I still have some things to deal with, go back to Chengming Hall first, come to have dinner with you at night, you can rest for a long time." ”

The queen hurriedly said: "The government is important, the emperor should go quickly, don't be delayed because of the concubines." Saying that he was about to get up and send her off, Yu Lin held her down and left with a smile.

Yu Qiu stepped forward and said with a smile: "The emperor treats Niangniang really warmly, Niangniang, you finally keep the clouds open and see the moon." But the other one may not be able to sleep well at night. As he spoke, he pointed lightly in the direction of Yaohua Palace.

The queen sneered: "Concubine Rong has always liked to be powerful in this palace, and this time it can be regarded as a victory in this palace." Hongu slowly settled accounts with her again. ”

When the news of the queen's pregnancy first reached Yaohua Palace, Concubine Rong stood up suddenly, with shock, jealousy, and disbelief on her face, and muttered, "Impossible! No way! The queen is already a half-aged, how can she still get pregnant? She has only been pampered for more than a month, why did she get pregnant? The main palace has suffered the most rain and dew in the past few years, why has the stomach not moved? It's not fair! He picked up everything he could touch and threw it to the ground and smashed it to pieces, and the tassels and Cuixuan stopped him.

When she first heard that the queen was pregnant, Lu Yuan hurriedly used the best materials to embroider a pair of baby belly pockets and a double-sided embroidered screen with rich flowers and sent them as a congratulatory gift.

In addition to admiration, he couldn't help but feel a little sour, and said to Biluo: "You see that the emperor is too tight about the queen's baby." Why did I fall into the water and slip on the tire, but I didn't see how sad the emperor was? ”

Biluo said: "Since ancient times, whether it is the royal family, or the official eunuchs and nobles, or the big businessmen, they have always been important, and the little master does not have to be careful. At the beginning, the little master's children came and went quickly, and the emperor was not ready to be ready, so he didn't have time to be sad, not because he didn't pay attention to it. ”

Lu Yuan gently put her hand on her lower abdomen and said in frustration: "It's been a year since the last abortion, why haven't you been pregnant again?" Seeing that my parents, brother and sister-in-law have been in exile for almost two years, only when they are about to conceive a child can they hope to bring them back sooner. ”

Biluo comforted: "Don't worry, the little master is so young, as long as he takes care of his body, he will definitely get pregnant again soon." The matter of taking the old lady back to Beijing must be in a hurry, and the preparations must be laid step by step, and we must not rush it. ”

Lu Yuan was moved: "Sister Biluo, it's good to have you by your side, you are really my good sister." ”

Biluo also said movingly: "The little master is kind-hearted and generous to his subordinates, and it is a blessing for a slave to be able to serve by the little master's side." The slave knew that the slave's mother was sick last time, and it was the little master who invited Imperial Doctor Jiang to treat her. The kindness of the little master, the slave and maid dare not forget each other in their lives. ”

Lu Yuan said: "Sister doesn't need to mention this, it's all easy for me to do, no need to thank you." ”

In front of the court, the master and servant sat leisurely, chatting and laughing.

The cold winter is coming, the scenery is bleak, the cold north wind is tight for a while, the grass and trees are withered, only the pines and cypresses are still verdant. Lu Yuan was already afraid of the cold, so as soon as the winter came, he ordered someone to put on the brazier, burn it vigorously, and moved the smoke cage to the bedroom, so even though it was a cold winter outside the house, the house was as warm as spring.

On this day, in the side hall of Kunyi Palace, Imperial Physician Zhao, who is known as the holy hand of gynecology, is asking for the queen's pulse, and there are four or five braziers burning in the hall, and the narcissus and plum blossoms in the hall are just right, and the aroma is filled in the heating, which is intoxicating.

The queen has been pregnant for more than three months, and her lower abdomen has been slightly raised, so Imperial Doctor Zhao finished taking the pulse, bowed to Yu Lin, who was sitting on the side and playing with walnuts, and said: "Congratulations to the emperor and queen, the queen's fetus is stable, everything is fine, and according to the pulse, Weichen can conclude that the mother is pregnant with a prince." ”

Yu Lin and the queen were both surprised and happy, smiling with joy. Yu Lin asked, "Are you absolutely sure?" ”

Imperial Doctor Zhao said: "Wechen has been taking the pulse for 30 years, and as soon as I get my hands on it, I know men and women, if it is wrong, the emperor will get rid of Wechen, and Wechen will go home to farm." ”

The queen smiled happily: "Lord Zhao has been a doctor for decades, and he has always been known for gynecology, so he must be good." ”

Yu Lin said excitedly: "This is really a great joy, you just need to take good care of the fetus for the queen, and don't worry about other idle things. As he spoke, he took off the jade wrench on his thumb and gave it to him, and Imperial Physician Zhao thanked him and withdrew.

Yu Lin couldn't hold back the happiness in his heart, got up and walked around the hall a few times, and said loudly: "I'm so happy!" On the day of the queen's birth, I will hold a feast, drink for three days and three nights, amnesty the world, and celebrate the whole world! ”

The queen smiled and said: "I gave birth in October, and the concubine was only more than three months old, so the emperor was too anxious." ”

Yu Lin laughed and said, "I'm really happy! ”

The queen continued: "The concubine has been pregnant, and it is gradually inconvenient in the future, and now there are many vacancies in the harem, and there are few proper people around the emperor, and the concubine wants to recommend someone to serve the emperor, okay?" ”

Yu Lin smiled: "The queen is so considerate, it is naturally good." ”

The queen smiled, got up and walked to the door of the moon cave with her hand in her hand, and pointed out the window to lead Yu Lin to see.

I saw the bluestone slab in the backyard splashing water into ice, smooth as a mirror, a woman holding a red silk is dancing on the ice, she is wearing a silver silk light silk dress, tied with a crimson hooded fox velvet cloak, light and elegant, graceful like a dragon, fluttering like a frightening, soft and free.

The backyard of Kunyi Palace is full of red and white plum blossoms, which are blooming at this time, white as snow, red and burning, accompanied by the women dancing on the ice, such as Linyaotai fairyland, beautiful, and unconsciously look like a drunken fascination.

After the dance, the woman turned to the door, knelt down and bowed, and her voice was like a silver bell: "Slave and maid Si Le Fang Dancing Ji Wei Ziyi to meet the emperor and queen!" ”

When you look up, you can see the peach blossom jade face, ice muscle and jade bones, starry eyes, charming and moving.

Yu Lin smiled and stepped forward to hold a pair of slender jade hands of the woman, and said, "Dance very well!" It's just that he is so thinly dressed, and his hands are so cold, so he will quickly follow me into the temple to roast the fire. ”

The queen smiled: "Doesn't the emperor think she is familiar?" ”

Yu Lin looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "As soon as the queen said it, I really felt that I seemed to have seen it somewhere, but I couldn't remember it for a while. ”

The queen said, "At the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet last year, she was the one who danced on that crystal plate." ”

Yu Lin suddenly remembered and said with a smile: "Not bad! I remembered. On that day, he danced in the Purple Gold Palace, and he was also dancing. ”

The queen smiled: "Sister Wei not only dances well, but also has an outstanding singing voice, and she is also gentle and gentle, so let her replace the concubine to serve the emperor." ”

Yu Lin nodded and said: "Just make a promise, use your surname as a title, and give you a residence in Nishang Pavilion, which is close to Kunyi Palace, and you can also come to accompany the queen from time to time." Wei agreed to hurriedly lean down and bow down to thank him.

In the early morning of the next day, when everyone was asking the queen, they found that there was a woman dressed in a lilac double-embroidered satin dress and a ruijin pile of flowers, combing a delicate snake bun, with two purple beaded hairpins obliquely inserted into the bun, and two bright purple beads waving in her ears, her eyebrows were tactful, as if she had seen it somewhere.

The queen said with a pleasant face: "This is the emperor's newly sealed Wei promise, come to see the sisters." ”

Wei promised to walk to the palace, bowed his head, and saluted: "The concubine Nishang Pavilion promised Wei to see the queen mother and all the mothers, the little master, the queen mother Chitose Jin'an, all the little masters are as happy as they wish." The queen smiled and asked her to get up and take her seat.

Shu Concubine smiled: "This sister has a well-behaved mouth and looks good, it seems that she has seen it somewhere?" ”

The queen smiled with a graceful and leisurely smile, and said, "What Concubine Shu said is true, everyone has indeed seen her." ”

Joe promised with sharp eyes and said, "Isn't it the dancing girl who danced at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet last year?" ”

The queen said kindly: "Yes, now it is Wei who promises, everyone will get along in harmony in the future, if anyone is jealous and calculates with each other, the palace will not tolerate her!" ”

Everyone promised, but only Concubine Rong's eyes flashed with a trace of contempt and contempt: "It's just a dancing girl, with a humble identity..."

The queen said loudly: "Okay, let's disperse, Imperial Doctor Zhao is still waiting to ask for peace in the palace." It's freezing outside, so let's go back early! As he spoke, he stood up with one hand holding Yuqiu's hand, and with the other hand on the bulging lower abdomen, he slowly walked into the inner hall.

Concubine Rong was still sitting in her seat in a daze, her eyes staring at the queen's belly, as if she had to shoot an arrow to shoot through that belly to be willing.
