Chapter 33: Hou's miscarriage

Views:

The three of them walked out of the Queen Mother's palace, and before they walked far, they saw high-fives coming from the front. The three of them suddenly stopped, and hurriedly stepped back a few steps to the side, standing by the road with their heads bowed.

Emperor Qilong was wearing a black red robe with a golden crown on his head, followed by a group of palace maids and eunuchs behind him, walking towards this side, and there were countless palace maids and eunuchs kneeling on the ground.

When passing by the Crown Princess and others, Emperor Qilong tilted his head and glanced at the three of them. His gaze swept across Hua Xiwan and others who were saluting in a proper manner, and said lightly, "No need to be too polite."

After hearing the words, the three of them were blessed again, and they stepped back. After they had withdrawn for a distance, they turned around and left in a hurry.

"Your Majesty?" The eunuch reminded him in a low voice when he saw that the emperor was standing still. It was outside the Queen Mother's palace. It was not appropriate for the emperor to stare at his daughter-in-law and niece-in-law like this.

"Well," Emperor Qilong retracted his gaze, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the Queen Mother's palace without saying a word. The maids and eunuchs who followed him breathed a sigh of relief.

The Crown Princess and others were also relieved. After all, being stared at by the emperor like this made them uncomfortable. If there was any mess in the future, it would be even worse.

The three parted at the gate of the palace, and each got in their own carriage and left.

After waiting for the carriage, Hua Xiwan frowned and thought about Emperor Qilong's deliberate pause just now. Although Emperor Qilong has become more and more arrogant and arrogant over the years, his brain is still within the range of a normal person. How could he act like that inexplicably?

Was it intentional or just a moment of inattention

I don't know how long the carriage has been on the road. Hua Xiwan heard that the servants outside the palace had arrived. She adjusted her robe and helped Bai Xia's men to get out of the carriage. She was about to take a soft sedan and enter the inner courtyard when she saw a nanny in a hurry. When I came in, I knelt in front of her when I saw her: "Princess, there is news from the Shengjun Wangfu that the child of the Shengjun princess is gone."

"What did you say?" Hua Xiwan's complexion changed slightly, but she knew how much the Hou family valued the child in her womb, how could she suddenly have a miscarriage

She thought about it for a while and said to Bai Xia, "Go back and change your clothes. Let's go to Shengjun Wangfu to see." Her clothes were too complicated and gorgeous, and it would not be suitable to visit the Hou family.

After choosing a light-colored palace dress and changing the gemstone hairpin to a more stable jade stone face, Hua Xiwan took all kinds of tonics and got on the carriage to the palace of Shengjun.

When Hua Xiwan arrived at the Shengjun Palace, the Crown Princess had already arrived at the gate. After the two greeted each other, they looked at each other's neat clothes and tacit understanding, and put on a solemn expression. He was brought into the gate of Shengjun Wangfu.

Hou's face was very bad, her face was pale, and even her expression was a little sluggish, but after seeing Hua Xiwan and the Crown Princess appear, she still wanted to struggle to get up and salute, but she gave up after being forcibly held down by the Crown Princess.

Hua Xiwan saw that although Hou's words were decent, she couldn't hide the grief in her eyes, so she said, "Tang sister-in-law Penguin, relax, you are still young, and there will be opportunities in the future."

"Maybe this child has no relationship with me," Hou tried to squeeze out a smile, but he couldn't find a smile after a long time, and finally had to give up, "I just thought that he had been lying in my stomach for more than two months, so silent. It's hard to breathe."

Hua Xiwan's mood was very complicated. Seeing the dignified Mrs. Hou from outside, she knew that she must be very uncomfortable. She was just trying to hold out in front of outsiders. Thinking of this, she could only sincerely comfort her and said, "Maybe it will be later. After a while, he came back to you."

These words were too general. Although Hou didn't believe them, she seemed to regard them as a hope. She stared at Hua Xiwan in a daze: "Is what you said true?"

"Of course, with a good mother like you, that child will definitely not want to leave," Hua Xiwan held Hou's hand and patted it, only to find that her hand was surprisingly cold, "No matter what, you Always take good care of yourself, otherwise you will be the one who will suffer in the future."

After speaking, he tucked Hou Shi's hand into the quilt: "Everything in this world has to be thought through. If this person can't open it up by himself, he can't get over it."

It was because Hua Xiwan's movements were too natural, and Mrs. Hou couldn't see the slightest element of acting in her, so she said warmly, "I know, thank you cousin for your concern."

"It's all a family, what are you doing?" Hua Xiwan saw that a maid came up with the medicine, reached out to take the medicine bowl in the maid's hand, and probed the temperature of the medicine. She felt that it was not cold or hot, so she wanted to feed it. Hou's medicine.

Hou Shi naturally refused, but Hua Xiwan did not insist, and handed the bowl to Hou Shi to wait for her to finish drinking, then took the medicine bowl and handed it to the maid next to her: "Tang sister is a blessing, take a good rest, don't think too much. ."

Hou Shi thought of Yan Boyi, who had not returned to the mansion yet, and thought about the children who had no relationship with him. Seeing Hua Xiwan's sincere worry between her brows, she had mixed feelings in her heart: "Thank you."

Seeing her like this, Hua Xiwan showed a bit of a smile on her face: "That's right, as a woman, you must be kind to yourself, or wouldn't you be wasting your parents' nurturing grace?"

Hearing this, the Crown Princess sitting next to her looked slightly stunned, and then smiled bitterly, saying that Princess Xian could say such a thing because she lived in the Marquis of Yi'an who really loved her daughter. And she, since she was a child, was trained according to the standards of a prince concubine. She was not the daughter of the family at birth, but the future prince concubine.

After a few words of persuasion, Hua Xiwan took a look in the room and stopped at a pot of jade and agate ornaments.

The workmanship of this pot is very good, but there are some problems with the material of the bunch of grapes. She adjusted the expression on her face: "Sister-in-law, this pot of decoration is really beautiful, but why are grapes carved with luminous pearls?"

When Hou heard the word "grape", he smiled bitterly: "It was originally the mascot that the Crown Princess gave me, but now it has failed the Crown Princess's wishes."

Grapes are meant to have many children and grandchildren. It is indeed a very good gift to give to the pregnant Hou family, but why would the crown princess deliberately send ornaments made of night pearls, not to mention other things, it is said that the color of night pearls is not particularly suitable for grapes.

"What are you talking about, it's just a gadget," the Crown Princess said with her face as usual, "It's the biggest credit for making you smile."

Hua Xiwan looked at the decent behavior of the Crown Princess, and a question emerged in her heart. Does the Crown Princess know that placing Ye Mingzhu indoors will be detrimental to pregnant women

After calming Hou Shi's emotions, Hua Xiwan and the Crown Princess left together. After she stepped out of the gate of the Shengjun Prince's Mansion, she sighed. Although this Prince's Mansion knew the rules well up and down, it had an indescribable sense of dullness.

"Respectfully send the princess off." Hua Xiwan watched the princess get into the carriage. After the guard of honor of the prince left, she turned around and got on the carriage. As soon as one foot stepped on the footstool, she saw a car with the symbol of the Prince's Palace of Shengjun. The carriage hurried towards here.

Just when she was stunned, a person jumped out of the carriage. It was Yan Boyi, the king of Sheng County.

"Princess Xian," Yan Boyi didn't seem to expect to meet Hua Xiwan on this occasion, and said politely, "I have something to do next, sorry."

"Uncle Tang, walk slowly," Hua Xiwan turned to greet him sideways, seeing that Yan Boyi stepped into the palace and got into the carriage himself.

This is really interesting. They all know about Hou's miscarriage, and Yan Boyi, the husband, came back at this moment.

Probably in this era, it is the mainstream for men to focus on their careers, and her kind of thinking is the non-mainstream.

After she rushed back to the palace, Yan Jinqiu had already returned. Seeing her coming back from outside, he asked with concern, "Why did you come back? Is lunch ready?" Seeing her shaking his head, he asked people to go to the kitchen to prepare something to eat. "What happened, your face is so ugly?"

Hua Xiwan shook her head: "Prince Shengjun had a miscarriage, so she went to visit the palace of the prince."

Yan Jinqiu lowered his eyelids and poured a cup of appetizer tea for Hua Xiwan: "Is it okay for my sister-in-law?"

"It doesn't look very good," Hua Xiwan took a sip from the teacup. "The princess was also there when I went, and the princess of Shengjun is a dignified person, so she was polite and couldn't say anything."

Yan Jinqiu smiled: "Prince Concubine is very positive this time."

When Hua Xiwan heard this, her brows wrinkled, and she remembered the pot of Ye Mingzhu grapes.
