Chapter 45: Born in the Dark (I)

When she was more than three months pregnant, Lu Yuan had obviously felt that her waist was thick, and her lower abdomen had risen slightly.

However, morning sickness came suddenly, and I vomited so much that I lost my appetite and was weak, and I rested on the collapse every day.

Yu came to Jingxi Palace to see her temporarily, but he just said something interesting to make her laugh, and did not stay overnight for the advice of the imperial doctor.

The golden jade ayaluo all kinds of toys were continuously sent to the Jingxi Palace, with the rewards of the Queen Mother, the Empress and others, as well as the congratulatory gifts of the concubines and concubines of the palace, and the palace people of the Jingxi Palace were soft for a while.

Yu Lin saw that she was sleepy and weak all day, and she didn't think about tea and dinner, so she was very worried, and ordered the imperial dining room to make new dishes and various flavored snacks every day and send them to Jingxi Palace, but it failed to arouse Lu Yuan's appetite, and ordered the Tai Hospital to enter a lot of prescriptions for relieving vomiting, but it still didn't work.

When the queen heard this, she smiled and said: "Women have always been pregnant, this is called joy, the more joyful it is, the better the child in the womb grows." The emperor doesn't have to worry too much, it will be fine after a while. After such persuasion, Yu Lin Fang reduced some of his worries and anxiety.

At noon on this day, Lu Yuan reclined on the couch in front of the window of the side hall to read a book to pass the time, covered with a lake-green silk quilt, lying under the velvet soft blanket and warm, and the goose down pillows embroidered with acacia flowers in white satin for three or four months were piled on the couch, which was soft and comfortable.

After watching for a while, when she was drowsy, when she saw An Lingyue smiling and walking in from outside, Lu Yuan hurriedly sat up, pulled her to her side and sat down, and said with a smile: "You are here, sit down, I am bored, it is good to have you to talk to me." ”

An Lingyue smiled and said, "I was afraid that my sister would be bored, so I came over to spend time with my sister." Sister, look. As he spoke, he took out a dowry from behind him, opened the gold-painted lid, and took out a few small round boxes from inside.

Lu Yuan picked up one of the boxes, looked at them and asked, "What are these?" ”

An Lingyue opened a small box, presented it to Lu Yuan, and said, "These are all fat powders that I made for my sister." My sister's box is hosta powder, which is made by cutting off the stems of the hosta flowers into a bottle, pouring ordinary hu powder, and then steaming. He picked up the other one and opened it, saying, "This box is jasmine cream, which is made by pounding the kernels of purple jasmine seeds and steaming them for milling." In addition, there are rose nitrate and poria paste, which are made from flower and plant seeds. ”

Lu Yuan smiled: "What does my sister bother to make these things?" ”

An Lingyue replied: "I thought that my sister was pregnant with a dragon fetus, and ordinary rouge gouache was useless, so I specially configured these for my sister, which are extremely safe, not only harmless to the dragon fetus, but also live up to my sister's beauty." ”

Lu Yuan was very moved when she heard her words, and said movingly: "Good sister, you are so attentive to me, my sister is really grateful." ”

An Lingyue lowered her eyebrows and said softly: "My sister does not dislike Lingyue's humble background, she is willing to associate with me and maintain me everywhere, which is already Lingyue's blessing, Lingyue only hopes that her sister can give birth to a dragon fetus safely, and she can stay young forever." ”

While the two were talking, Comb Yue came in to report that the emperor was coming. Yu Lin walked in lightly, An Lingyue was busy kneeling down to ask for peace, Lu Yuan was also about to get up and stay, but Yu Lin held him down, Yu Lin smiled and said: "How many times have I told you, in the future, these courtesies of kneeling and asking for peace will be waived, why don't you listen to me." Ann promised to get up too! ”

Lu Yuan had no choice but to sit back on the collapse and show the fat powder sent by An Lingyue to Yu Lin one by one, and Yu Lin smiled while checking it: "Yes, An promised to have a heart." ”

An Lingyue's cheeks were slightly red, and she said in a low voice: "The concubine will only have this little skill, and my sister can't afford to look at Lingyue if she doesn't dislike it." On weekdays, Lingyue is already guilty of being taken care of by her sister, and she should do something for her sister. ”

Yu Lin approvingly: "Ann promised to be very humble and courteous, your sisterhood is deep, and I am also very touched." ”

Yu Lin turned to Lu Yuan again, and asked her about her diet and daily life during the day, etc., An Lingyue saw that she was in the way and got up to resign, Yu Lin didn't care much, Lu Yuan asked Biluo Haosheng to send her out.

Seeing that there was no one else in the hall, Yu Lin leaned down and pressed his face against her lower abdomen, revealing an air of careful listening. In such a homely and warm scene, he is just like a husband who loves his wife and children.

The corners of Lu Yuan's mouth unconsciously contained a brisk smile, and she said softly: "Where can I hear anything now?" ”

Yu Lin raised his head and smiled: "The child that Yuanyuan conceived for me must be a gifted and intelligent fetus, and I believe that he can already feel his father coming in his belly." Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

The two were laughing, and suddenly the Hunan curtain rolled, and a delicate figure broke in, but it was Ruoxi, she was wearing a lake-green crepe skirt, combing her hair in a bun, and a few silver hairpins were inserted in the bun, and the tassels hanging down the hairpin shook slightly, her eyes were clear, and her cheeks were peachy, which was very fresh and lovely. If you didn't expect Yu to be here, you stood there in a daze for a while, neither advancing nor retreating.

Ruoxi saw that both of them were looking at her, so she knelt on the ground with a thud, and called again and again: "The slave doesn't know that the emperor is here, and she has no intention of offending, please forgive the emperor." ”

Yu Lin couldn't help but take a closer look at her and asked, "What are you holding in your hand?" ”

Ruoxi hurriedly said: "It's perilla leaves, because the slave maid heard that the smell of perilla can alleviate the symptoms of nausea by smelling the pregnant person, so the slave maid went to Qiongyuan to pick fresh perilla leaves, and wanted to insert them in the vase in this hall for the master to smell the smell." ”

Seeing her earnest words and beautiful appearance, Yu Lin couldn't help but feel pity, took off a jasper wrench from his hand, and said: "You are very careful, and you are loyal to your master, this wrench is rewarded to you." ”

Ruoxi looked at Lu Yuan in fear, and Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Since the emperor rewarded you, accept the thanks." ”

Ruoxi hurriedly took the wrench with both hands, knelt down to thank him, and then retreated. Yu Lin looked at her background and smiled: "This girl is very Peugeot, or you can regulate people." ”

Lu Yuan smiled faintly and said, "The emperor laughed at his concubines again." At this time, it is still early, please ask the emperor and the concubine to play a game to see if the concubine's chess skills can grow. ”

Yu Lin readily agreed, so Biluo and Chunhua set up the chess table, and the two played against each other.

Autumn is getting stronger, the air can already feel the breath of winter, the wind is rising, scarlet maple leaves, golden ginkgo, snow-white reed flowers, but also embellished beauty.

One day, Yu Lin looked at Lu Yuan, and took the step to beat Jingxi Palace back to Chengming Palace, just when he arrived at Qingfuyuan, he suddenly heard the sound of a woman crying for help, and followed the sound of a woman struggling in the water from a distance.

Yu Lin was shocked, and the guards around him went into the water to save people. The guards were very good at water, but they rescued the woman who had fallen into the water and helped her to the shore.

The woman was soaking wet, her clothes were tightly wrapped around her body, her body was trembling, her hair was damp, water droplets were constantly dripping down her cheeks, her bangs were clinging to her forehead, her face was pale, her eyes were slightly closed, and she sat weakly on the ground, coughing because she had choked on the water.

Yu Lin looked at the woman's face, felt very familiar, looked carefully, and suddenly remembered that the woman who fell into the water in front of him was the very standard maidservant girl he saw in the Jingxi Palace that day.

Yu Lin said with concern: "I recognize it, you are the person next to Concubine Ying of Jingxi Palace, what is your name?" Why did you fall overboard? ”

Ruoxi leaned on the ground, made a big salute with difficulty, and said with trembling lips: "The slave maid is cheap, and she went to the Huanyi Bureau to get the washed clothes for the master, and when she didn't want to go to this bridge, a gust of wind blew, and a soft ribbon floated into the water, and the slave and maid reached out to reach it, not wanting to lose her body and fall into the water all of a sudden." ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something, hurriedly got up and staggered to the side of the fern, and saw that the water waves on the fern were already calm, and there was no trace of anything else, so she couldn't help crying all of a sudden: "The master's clothes are gone, and I blame me for not using them!" ”

Yu Lin hurriedly said: "It's just a few clothes, it's not worth anything, I just let the Garment Bureau re-cut Ying Concubine, your master is also a tolerant person, and he will not punish you for these clothes." ”

Ruoxi heard Yu Lin say this, his heart was a little calm, but he still couldn't stop sobbing, Yu Lin saw her eyes with tears, pear blossoms with rain, sad and moving, and I didn't feel a touch in my heart.

He stepped down from the step, held Ruoxi's hand with his own hands, helped her up and stepped up, and said gently: "You are soaking wet, you should go back to change your clothes quickly, to avoid catching a cold, I ordered you to send you back to Jingxi Palace at this step, and then send the imperial doctor to check your pulse and see if there is any major problem." ”

Ruoxi was very frightened and refused to go up, and said: "Your Majesty, slaves and maids are cheap, and they can't sit on the emperor's hand." ”

Yu Lin insisted on taking her to the top and said, "Don't be afraid, this is my will, and others dare not say anything." ”

Ruoxi had to sit on the step, carried back to Jingxi Palace by the guards who carried it, along the way the palace people saw the royal people not passing by, all stopped and stood on their sides, so that they saw clearly the people who did not sit on the board, and they were not surprised, and almost alarmed half of the palace.

Ruoxi sat high on the coffin, looking down at the palace people who were respectfully waiting to stand, and felt both proud and emotional in his heart, everything was going according to his plan, and he was one step closer to his goal.
