Chapter 44: Double Happiness

At the end of August, when the sultry summer was about to end, the queen gave birth to the first prince of Yulin, as the eldest son, the identity was naturally very noble, and he was named the king of Qi as soon as he was born, named Zhaoyang, meaning that the sun was rising.

Yu Lin was very happy, held a banquet in the Purple Palace for three days and three nights, drunk and couldn't wake up, and rewarded everyone in the palace, even the palace people who burned the fire in the imperial dining room and brushed the toilet in the Gong room got several strings of money. He also ordered the world to open a warehouse to release grain, and to help the victims, which attracted the praise of the world for a time.

As soon as September arrives, autumn is in full swing and the weather is cooler. The chrysanthemums of all colors carefully cultivated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs are blooming, either upside down or leaning, gathering or scattering, some blooming and some budding, singing and dancing in the wind. The queen was very prosperous for a while, so she wanted to hold a chrysanthemum appreciation conference, and ordered the Internal Affairs Office to move more than 100 pots of chrysanthemums to the small garden in front of Kunyi Palace, picked a good autumn weather, and invited the palace concubines to come to enjoy the flowers.

Since the queen gave birth to her son-in-law, she has been full of spirit and looks much younger, and many people in the harem saw that the queen was proud, so they rushed to Kunyi Palace in a swarm.

Concubine Rong since the reset, the edge has converged a lot, now the palace concubine is a foregone conclusion, the queen's position is stable, she can't help but be disheartened, the competitive temperament is much lighter, and she keeps herself a lot, and the chrysanthemum appreciation meeting on this day is also dressed up. Concubine Zhen still went her own way, shirked her physical discomfort, and did not show up.

A pot of chrysanthemums or delicate or plain, or rich or elegant, especially the chrysanthemum in the treasure "green chrysanthemum", the flower color is green like jade, crystal want to drop and dance chic, there are poems: drink the dew east fence green life, taste the frost Langyuan dark fragrance. The tender stamen in the wind is fragrant and gorgeous, and the fairy jade under the moon is clean and clear.

Everyone was appreciating the chrysanthemums, and the queen's Fengyi came, followed by a few nurses, and the leader was holding the little prince who had just completed the moon in his arms. Everyone threw down the chrysanthemums and rushed forward, praising the little prince. Lu Yuan, Shun Concubine, Yi Concubine, An Promise and others stood far away under a rockery, looking at this lively scene, looking at each other and smiling. Concubine Xian was directing several little palace maids and little eunuchs to move the flower pots.

No one noticed that Princess Yuning, who was originally following Concubine Shu, quietly left her mother's sight, holding a small kite in her hand, and ran to the back of the rockery. Because he accidentally took off his hand, the kite flew far away to the rockery and hung on a small pine tree at the top of the mountain. Yuning was at the age of naughty, so she climbed the rockery and reached for the kite. Suddenly, the stone under her feet loosened, and her small body fell straight down, and the little man screamed loudly.

At the last moment, Lu Yuan grabbed a few steps forward without thinking, reached out to pick it up, and just stretched out her arm, Yuning's body had already fallen, Lu Yuan's heart was horizontal, and she fell straight forward, and An Lingyue behind her also followed her forward in order to help her.

Yuning's soft little body was caught before it landed, Lu Yuan fell to the ground, only to feel the pain of the two arms, it turned out that there were many small stones scattered on the ground in front of the rockery, she pounced, and her body was fine, but the white arm was cut out by the sharp stones one after another, and blood slowly oozed out. An Lingyue also made a few cuts on her hands and arms.

Xian Guifei, Shun Concubine, Yi Concubine and others were shocked, and hurriedly went to help the two of them, and the queen and others in the distance also noticed the abnormality here and hurried over.

Shu Concubine hugged Yu Ning, looked up and down carefully, and saw that Yu Ning was unscathed, and let out a long breath.

The queen spoke: "Concubine Shu is also too careless, Yuning she is naughty, she is not optimistic about her, if you really fall today, how can you explain to the emperor, thanks to Concubine Ying's rescue, a disaster was avoided, you should kneel down to thank Concubine Ying." ”

Concubine Shu hurriedly knelt down and thanked Lu Yuan: "Thank you Sister Lu for saving Yuning, the concubine is grateful, and she will do her best to repay her in the future." ”

Lu Yuan endured the pain in her arm and said, "Sister Shu doesn't need to be so polite, as long as the princess is fine." ”

Concubine Xian said with concern: "I don't know how the injury is, it's better to hurry up and take a look at the Imperial Doctor." ”

The queen woke up like a dream: "It's really confusing to see the palace, and in this panic, I forgot to come to the imperial doctor." Come on, go to the Tai Hospital and ask the doctor to come! ”

The queen invited several of them to the side hall of Kunyi Palace, and Jiang Rong was on duty, and when she heard that Lu Yuan was injured, she immediately rushed over. Yu Lin also got the letter, and hurried to Kunyi Palace with Li Zhong and a few others.

Jiang Rong first dealt with the scratches on Lu Yuan and An Lingyue's arms, and for fear of hurting her inner abdomen, she checked her pulse in turn. Yu Lin first reprimanded Concubine Shu a few words, and then asked Lu Yuan about her injuries with concern.

Lu Yuan smiled: "It's just a small bruise, the emperor doesn't have to be nervous, Sister An was also injured in order to help the concubine, and the emperor should also care about it." ”

Only then did Yu Lin notice that An Lingyue was also injured, and said with a smile: "An promised to save Yuning and Ying Concubine for meritorious service, and I deserve a heavy reward!" ”

An Lingyue said a little shyly: "This is what a concubine should do, a concubine doesn't dare to be greedy, and Sister Lu is much more injured than me." Yu Lin cast an approving glance at her.

At this time, Jiang Rong let out a "huh", his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and when Yu Lin saw this, he hurriedly asked, "Is there anything wrong with Concubine Ying?" ”

Jiang Rong smiled slightly and said: "Weichen congratulates the emperor and Concubine Ying, according to the pulse, Concubine Ying has been pregnant for more than two months. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was stunned, and Lu Yuan asked in a lost voice: "But is it accurate?" ”

Yu Linxi couldn't help but say: "Although Imperial Doctor Jiang is young, he is quite accomplished in medical skills, and since he said so, it is certain. Don't you usually feel it? ”

Lu Yuan lowered her head and said shyly: "The concubine has always been inaccurate, and this time it has not been two months, but I didn't think about it, just because I didn't care about it." ”

The queen smiled and said: "Concubine Ying is young, and there are people who ignore it, this is really a happy event!" ”

Hearing the queen say this, everyone woke up like a dream, and they all congratulated Lin and Lu Yuan.

An Lingyue also followed everyone to say hello to Lu Yuan, with a smile on her face, but there was a hint of loneliness between her eyebrows and eyes, Yu Lin had already left her behind, and she was only a supporting role after all.

Concubine Xian asked Jiang Rong: "Imperial Doctor Jiang, Concubine Ying's sister's fall is suitable, and Yu Long's fetus is fine, right?" ”

Jiang Rong said respectfully: "It's okay, it didn't hurt the fetus, if you don't feel at ease, just wait for the minister to open a few prescriptions for Concubine Ying to use." ”

Lu Yuan put her mind at ease, looked at Yu Lin and said: "The queen wants to take care of the little prince, since the concubine is fine, she won't bother here, it's better to go back to Jingxi Palace." ”

The queen smiled and said, "It's okay, it's more convenient for you to be in your own palace." Imperial Doctor Jiang, this palace will entrust Concubine Ying and the child in her womb to you. ”

Jiang Rong bowed his head and said: "Weichen must do his best!" ”

Lu Yuan was about to get down to the ground and stand up, and Yu Lin said, "Don't move!" He stepped forward, stretched out his arms and picked her up, and the long skirt dragged softly. He smiled and said, "I'm tired of walking, I'll carry you over." ”

Lu Yuan was first surprised, then panicked, and didn't dare to struggle, but said: "The emperor should let the concubines come down and walk back to the palace by themselves, so afraid of calling others to criticize." ”

Yu Lin said with a smile: "I feel sorry for the person I like, and I will talk about it as much as others like." ”

Lu Yuan had to blush, obediently shrank in Yu Lin's arms, and let him carry him back to Jingxi Palace. She was so close to him, close to his chest, and the faint fragrance of ambergris floated on his body, although the fragrance was extremely faint, it seemed to come out of his bones, which made people feel happy. Jingxi Palace is not very far from Kunyi Palace, Yu Lin's steps are unhurried, and he stepped into the gate of Jingxi Palace in about half an hour.

Yu Lin hugged her straight to the soft couch, and thoughtfully put a pillow behind her, causing Biluo Chunhua and others to stand aside and laugh secretly.

Lu Yuan said angrily: "You are becoming more and more rude, seeing that the emperor is here, just don't wait, and snicker to watch the excitement." Chunhua hurriedly smiled and poured tea.

Yu Lin also smiled and said: "Why are they counting, I am willing to serve you." Yuanyuan, you don't know, you have a child, how happy I am! The queen has just given birth to a prince, and you are pregnant again, what a double happiness! As he spoke, he held her hand tightly, and his gaze gradually stayed on her lower abdomen.

Lu Yuan lowered her eyelids and said in a low voice: "How can the concubine's child be compared to the concubine of the middle palace. ”

Yu Lin disagreed, and said tenderly: "It is precisely because it is your child that I feel even more precious, more than anyone else's child." ”

Lu Yuan was in a trance for a while, the eyes of Yu Lin in front of her were full of affection, and there was light in her eyes, as if the young man many years ago, standing under the peach blossoms of the trees, his eyes were clear, and he said to her with a smile: "Sister Yuan, when you are married in two years, I will let my father and mother come to your house to propose marriage, you and I will become husband and wife, and there is no doubt about love." At that time, his face was crimson, his cheeks were like fire, and he only secretly looked at the young man in front of him out of the corner of his eye, and he had already regarded him as his lover in his heart. However, now that a few years have passed, I did not look forward to the person I wanted to ride a tall horse to marry me, but I looked forward to life and death. Peach blossoms fall, idle pond pavilion. Although the mountain league is here, it is difficult to trust the brocade book. Mo! Mo! Mo!

Seeing that she was distracted for a while, Yu Lin gently scratched her nose with his fingers, and said with a smile: "What do you think, so distracted?" ”

Lu Yuan retracted his thoughts, smiled slightly, and said, "The emperor is so affectionate to Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan is very moved. ”

Yu Lin gently took her into his arms and said with relief: "Isn't it the same how Yuanyuan treats me? ”

Lu Yuan leaned her head on Yu Lin's chest, listening to his heartbeat, Yu Lin also lowered her head and kissed her forehead, at this moment, time flows, and the years are quiet.

Even though he was reluctant and deliberate at the beginning, and now he has already given birth to Qingsu, he is the father of the child in her womb, he cares about her after all, and her life will be entrusted to him. Brother Zhenyuan, after all, is an unattainable dream.

In the side hall of Kunyi Palace, everyone had already dispersed, and the queen sat alone on the circle chair silently, and Yuqiu came forward to serve. The queen sighed quietly: "Look how lucky Concubine Ying is, the emperor really spoils her!" This palace and the emperor have been married for 16 years, and they have never been hugged by the emperor like this. ”

Yuqiu said: "No matter how favored Concubine Ying is, she is only one of the harem concubines, but you are the queen of the world, unique." Now that he has given birth to his eldest son, he will definitely inherit the unification in the future, and your blessing is naturally incomparable to that of Ying Concubine. ”

The queen said lightly: "Although the ancestors are important, but our dynasty does not necessarily take the eldest son as the prince, and now the emperor is not the eldest son, if Concubine Ying also gives birth to the prince, then the position of the prince is not only Zhaoyang." ”

Yu Qiu comforted: "Only if the eldest son is mediocre, the concubine can be appointed as the prince." What's more, the fetus in Concubine Ying's womb has not yet known male and female, so the queen should not think about it. ”

The queen said: "The beloved son of parents will have far-reaching plans." This palace needs to plan for Zhaoyang in advance. ”

Yuqiu said: "What the queen is thinking about is that there are a lot of people in the harem now, Concubine Zhen is strong, Concubine Ying is pregnant, although Concubine Rong is slightly less sharp, but she is also eyeing her, and others such as Concubine Xian, Concubine Shun, Concubine Liang, Concubine Yi and others are also quite favorable, not to be underestimated, the situation is really complicated, we have to deal with it carefully." ”

Yuqiu's words made the queen's face look dangerous, and she said slowly: "Now that I see that Concubine Liang and Wei can't make a big climate, it seems that we have to win over the newcomers." After speaking, he got up and went to see the little prince.
