Heavenly Oracle

The winter of the tenth year of Tianyuan

The snow is falling heavily, the cold is biting, and this winter in the Heavenly Oracles Country is colder than ever, and the cold people are reluctant to go out and cower at home. Even in the most prosperous and lively places in normal times, there are only a few people at this time.

The more bad the weather, but it was in the midst of war, the enemy country was attacking, and the border was in an emergency, and Mu Yunze, the general of the Heavenly Oracle, was ordered to lead the troops to the expedition, and he fought viciously for more than two months.

Mu Yunze's wife Lin Yueyun was pregnant for nine months, and the emperor was grateful to the general for killing the enemy on the front line, so he ordered her to be taken into the palace to take care of her, and to be accompanied by Concubine De, who was also pregnant.

Before Concubine De entered the palace, she and Lin Yueyun were close friends. Three years ago, Father Lin offended the words of heaven and went to prison, coinciding with Mu Yunze's leading army, he couldn't take care of it, thanks to the help of Concubine De, who had just entered the palace, he was able to get through the difficulties, and then Mu Yunze sought His Majesty's favor with military merits to avoid the death penalty.

The emperor specially allowed Lin Yueyun to live in the Ciyun Palace with Concubine De, and Lin Yueyun knew in her heart that His Majesty had brought her into the palace as a gift, but in fact, he was threatening her husband with her and the child's lives. Since three years ago, the husband did not hesitate to offend Long Yan to marry her, although the emperor did not say anything on the surface, but he was dissatisfied with the husband's disobedience to the holy will this time, and it was only because of the husband's military exploits that he did not explicitly blame her. In recent years, the husband has repeatedly made military exploits, and his prestige in the army has also increased, although the emperor is dissatisfied in his heart, but it is not good to blame the paper, the Yuan State has invaded this time, and the husband has not won the battle for two months. If the husband returns victoriously this time, he will definitely be a great meritorious, and according to His Majesty's heart, I am afraid that it will not be compatible. This time, the fierceness of the Yuan Kingdom, coupled with the bad weather, if Fujun is defeated, even if he returns safely, His Majesty will definitely blame him for dereliction of duty, and she may not be able to walk out of the palace safely. Lin Yueyun stroked the child in her womb, and couldn't help but worry in her heart.

This is the first day that Lin Yueyun entered the palace, the emperor placed her in the side hall of Concubine De's bedroom, and also sent some palace maids in the side hall, which is called to take care of her, but Lin Yueyun knew in her heart that this was used by the emperor to monitor and detain her.

Lin Yueyun was lying on the bed tossing and turning, listening to the sound of dripping raindrops outside the window, the rain had been falling since the afternoon, and it had been dripping, not stopping, nor heavy. It was also because of the rain that Lin Yueyun could use this excuse to stay in the side hall, without having to visit other palaces, and the palace maid cleaned up the side hall, although it was cleaned up, there was nothing to clean up, Lin Yueyun only brought a few changes of clothes from home, and nothing else. The raindrops fell to the ground, but every sound struck her heart, overwhelming her.

It was a sleepless night.

Early the next morning, Lin Yueyun got up early, washed up under the service of a group of palace maids, and went to the main hall of Ciyun Palace. Lin Yueyun did not bring the maid in the palace this time, she knew that entering the palace this time was unpredictable, and she didn't want to affect others. Lin Yueyun wore the fine cotton clothes of Yunyan brought from home, the green silk like black jade, and only used a magnolia flower hosta to simply curl up, which was extremely elegant. Lin Yueyun herself is not bad-looking, but she is indifferent and modest, the first thing people remember is her gentleness, Lin Yueyun looked at the sun that had just risen outside the window, stroked her stomach with one hand, and smiled, with more maternal brilliance on her body. When I went out, I wore a feather on my body, and even if it was like this, I still couldn't help but shiver when I went out.

It rained in the middle of the night, there was fine thin ice outside the hall, there were palace people cleaning up early in the morning, Lin Yueyun walked out of the hall, there were two or three eunuchs cleaning the ground outside, not far away, a little eunuch in thin clothes was carrying the sewage cleaning the ground, Xu was physically exhausted, his body trembled, and he was not stable for a while, a basin of water was sprinkled in front of Lin Yueyun, and the water basin made a crisp sound when it fell to the ground, and the little eunuch was originally a little confused, and he was frightened by this sound and instantly came back to his senses and knelt on the ground, "Madame forgive the sin, the slave did not mean it." The little eunuch knelt on the ground and kowtowed to plead guilty, I don't know if he was frozen or frightened by this sudden situation, his voice trembled, and his body trembled.

Before Lin Yueyun could react, the palace maid on the side took the lead in speaking and said sharply, "Bold, you collided with Madame, you have a few lives that are enough to pay." ”

Lin Yueyun calmed her mind for a moment, she was in a bad mood just now, and she was indeed taken aback by this sound. glanced at the little eunuch kneeling on the ground, and saw that his hands were red from the cold, I don't know whether he was frightened or his body was trembling from being frozen, and raised his hand to stop the palace maid who was ready to continue to hold him accountable, "It's okay, you get up first." Her voice is soft, and even in this cold weather, it gives people a sense of warmth.

The little eunuch couldn't believe his ears, he was used to being beaten and trained in the palace, just now he thought that he was afraid that he would be beaten again, but he didn't expect that the noble man in front of him would not hold him accountable, and couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Lin Yueyun, seeing a shallow smile on her face, realizing that he was offended, he hurriedly lowered his head again, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

Lin Yueyun saw that there was a scar on the wrist of the little eunuch, and the scar showed signs of inflammation, it seemed that he had not been medicated, and the little eunuch's eyes were bloodshot, and he was unsteady when he walked just now, it seemed that he was instructed by others to work, and he didn't even rest. She was an unpopular existence in the palace, although the emperor sent palace maids to serve her this time, but these people didn't really take care of her, I think it was other people who bullied the little eunuch to let him work alone, "It's okay, you get up first, you don't need to clean here, go back and rest first." “

The little eunuch watched Lin Yueyun leave, and cleaned up the ground before going back.

Concubine De also got up, and finished washing under the service of a group of palace maids, Concubine De was wearing a ruyi cloud pattern shirt, plus a gold hundred butterfly cloud brocade jacket, and a golden ruby on her head. ”

Helped up by the palace maid, Concubine De's Ciyun Palace was very gorgeously arranged, although Lin Yueyun had also been to Ciyun Palace before, but since she was pregnant, she rarely went out, and she never came, not to mention that the emperor has always been jealous of her husband, if she has frequent contacts with the concubine, I am afraid that there will be many tongues, she will naturally not go to the palace if she has nothing to do, so as not to fall into the handle.

Concubine De was supported by the palace maid and slowly stood up, Concubine De was also more than nine months pregnant, and her belly was round. Lin Yueyun saw Concubine De and saluted her, "Niang Niang Jin'an." ”

"Yueyun, what are you doing here?" Concubine De said and picked up Lin Yueyun's arm with one hand. "Why are your hands so cold, and the people below don't know how to get you a hand stove." Concubine De said as she pulled Lin Yueyun inside.

Concubine De pulled Lin Yueyun to the soft couch, there was a burning charcoal stove next to her, Lin Yueyun walked outside just now, her body was cold, and her hand stretched out to the charcoal stove to warm up a little. Concubine De instructed the palace maid to bring a hand stove, and Concubine De put it in Lin Yueyun's hand, "You, you don't want to trouble others at any time, it's so cold, don't let them give you a hand stove." ”

"It's okay, it's not cold anymore, what's more, I really didn't feel cold when I first went out." Lin Yueyun spoke softly.

"You know how to think about others."

Concubine De ordered the others to go out, and only the two of them were left in the room, "Yueyun, when you enter the palace this time, tell me if you need anything, don't wronged yourself." "After all, Concubine De is the emperor's concubine, Your Majesty let Lin Yueyun enter the palace this time, and Concubine De more or less knows the emperor's thoughts.

The two of them had breakfast in Concubine De's bedroom, Concubine De looked worried, Lin Yueyun was worried, "What's wrong?" ”

Concubine De couldn't help but feel sad, "My father was imprisoned by His Majesty because of his unfavorable affairs, I went to intercede, and His Majesty always sent me away from the harem without interfering in politics, and Your Majesty let me recuperate in the palace with peace of mind, just so that I don't bother him." ”

Lin Yueyun knew that Concubine De was worried about her uncle's affairs, and said with relief, "Uncle can be safe and sound now, and His Majesty is thinking about you, not to mention that you are pregnant now, Your Majesty still has you in his heart." ”

"Yueyun, you don't know, Your Majesty hasn't been to my palace for a long time, you see that my palace is so gorgeously arranged, I just want to tell other concubines that I am deeply favored by Your Majesty through this method." Concubine De looked at the treasures in the palace and laughed at herself, the sourness in it was only known to herself.

"Don't think about this now, give birth to the child with peace of mind first, if you are so sad, the child can also feel it."

When Concubine De heard the word "child", she stroked her stomach, and she didn't know what she thought, and she was even more sad.

"Yueyun, I once secretly asked the imperial doctor whether the child in my belly is a prince or a princess."

"Then what did the Imperial Doctor say?"

"The Imperial Physician didn't say it explicitly, but it could be a princess."

"The princess is also good, and the girl is more caring." Lin Yueyun didn't know how to comfort Concubine De.

"Yueyun, you don't understand, the imperial doctor said that my body is weak, after giving birth to this child, the chance of getting pregnant in the back is very small, in this harem, there is no prince by his side, and he can't live without His Majesty's favor at all, and now His Majesty has no friendship with me, and he still cares a little about me because I am pregnant with a dragonborn, but if this child is a princess, let alone Your Majesty, even those concubines who have a bad relationship with me will take the opportunity to make things difficult."

Lin Yueyun understands Concubine De's situation, the most ruthless emperor's family, but she is helpless, looking at the sad Concubine De, Lin Yueyun can't help but think of her own child, she hopes that her baby can be a girl, after all, His Majesty is already jealous of the General's Mansion, if she gives birth to a boy, it will only intensify His Majesty's jealousy of the General's Mansion.

"The imperial doctor just said that it may be a princess, but it may also be a prince, don't worry too much and hurt your body." Lin Yueyun knew in her heart that the imperial doctor dared to reply like this, and she should be very sure, but she was still relieved and hoped that she would not be so sad.

Lin Yueyun chatted with Concubine De for a while before going back, and when she returned to the side hall, Lin Yueyun would find out the wound medicine from the house, because the general was often injured before, Lin Yueyun had been preparing all kinds of injury medicine, and she also brought some with her when she entered the palace this time.

After Lin Yueyun left, Concubine De called Mama Su, Mama Su is Concubine De's nurse, Concubine De entered the palace, Mama Su followed into the palace to take care of Concubine De, Concubine De's mother left early, and her father married a stepmother, although her stepmother never treated her harshly, but she did not give her maternal love, Mama Su has taken care of Concubine De since she was a child, and she is the closest and most trusted person to Concubine De, "How are things going?" ”

Mama Su has taken care of Concubine De for so many years, and regards Concubine De as her own daughter, looking at Concubine De's sad appearance, she is distressed and worried, "Rest assured, the slave maid has found three ladies outside the palace who are about to give birth, as long as any of them have a boy, they will be brought into the palace when Niangniang gives birth, in case Niangniang gives birth to a princess, the child outside the palace will be replaced, but Niangniang is really willing to ......"

"What if you are reluctant, my baby must be the prince, now that my father is in prison, I have also lost the favor of His Majesty, if there is no prince by his side, how will I survive in the palace in the future."

"Okay, I'm tired." Concubine De closed her eyes, not wanting to think about these bad things anymore.

Mama Su couldn't persuade anything more, so she had to take care of Concubine De to take a nap first.

Lin Yueyun summoned the palace maid and instructed the palace maid to send the wound medicine to the little eunuch in the morning. The palace maid took it to the little eunuch's residence and gave the medicine to the little eunuch, the little eunuch looked surprised, the palace maid handed the medicine to the little eunuch and left, the little eunuch looked at the medicine in his hand, and his mood could not be calmed down for a long time, there are countless little eunuchs like him in the palace, no one will care about them at all, these palace masters beat and scolded them at every turn, who would care about the life or death of a little eunuch. The injuries on his body were inflicted by the master in the palace before, but a little eunuch like him is not qualified to go to the imperial hospital to get medicine, and the little eunuch holds the medicine in his hand, which is more precious to him than everything in the world.
