Extra 2 days
The Qinhuai River has always been very lively, with shops lined up on both sides, and hawkers selling groceries at night.
Although Jiang Rao is quiet, she is not a person who can be restrained. After staying in the palace for a long time, she just stared at the red walls and green willows. She was tired of seeing the scenery in the palace. Tonight, she took the opportunity to send off her aunt, Jinling, tonight. It is very rare to take a stroll by the Qinhuai River, and I look at everything around me greedily.
Even if they didn't wear imperial uniforms, they didn't dare to go to crowded places for fear of being recognized.
After buying candied haws from a vendor, I turned into the alley.
Jiang Rao gave the candied haws to Rong Ting, and Rong Ting shook his head slowly.
Jiang Rao remembered that he didn't like sweet food, and he didn't have to eat the candied haws. He took a bite, praised "It's so sweet", and asked Rong Ting, "You really don't want to try it?"
She knew he didn't like things that were too sweet, but he didn't seem to like anything else. This string of candied haws is covered with a thin coating of sugar, sweet and sour, maybe he will like it.
There was no one in the alley, half of the road was illuminated by the moonlight, and the remaining half was pressed in the shadow cast by the wall, it was dark, Rong Ting looked at Jiang Rao, then suddenly lowered his head, and kissed Jiang Rao.
Looking up again, he smiled faintly, "Sweet."
Jiang Rao's face turned red, and the hand holding a candied haws suddenly had no place to put it. Just as he was about to say something, a child's voice came from behind him.
A five or six-year-old boy was chasing another girl who was about his age, and ran past Jiang Rao in a hurry.
The girl turned her head frequently and shouted, "Hurry up, slow down, and the fireworks will be gone!"
Jiang Rao hurriedly made way for the two children. She has always liked children. The little ones are soft and cute one by one. Their eyes are glued to their backs, and they cannot be moved away.
Rong Ting coughed, and brought her eyes back, "He is the son of Tian Shaoqing's family and the daughter of the Fu family."
Jiang Rao was a little surprised, "How do you know?"
Rong Ting pointed to the other side of the road.
A few servants called "Master" and "Girl" and also ran from the alley.
Afraid of being recognized by others, Jiang Rao hurriedly covered her face with her sleeves, and she didn't put down her sleeves until the sound of chaotic footsteps passed away.
Rong Ting smiled lightly, "These two families live next to each other, the young son of the Tian family and the daughter of the Fu family have always had a good relationship."
Jiang Rao held the candied haws in her mouth, feeling a little longing in her heart.
I want the two children to become her and Rong Ting.
If there is one thing she regrets the most, it is that she didn't meet her once when she was a child.
…
After returning to the palace, the two children who ran past in the alley were always dangling in front of Jiang Rao's eyes. She thought to herself that she had nothing to do, so she was always thinking about something. I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and asked for this year's account check.
An old female officer in the House of Internal Affairs said to Jiang Rao: "Mother, the Holy Majesty was abducted once when he was a child and was injured in the hunting ground when he was thirteen. Your Highness is still willing to go to the hunting ground." ? If you don’t go to the autumn hunt this year, you won’t be prepared here.”
"I'll make a decision after I ask the Holy One." After Jiang Rao finished speaking, she frowned suddenly, "You just said that the Holy Lord was abducted once when he was a child?"
The female officer nodded, "It happened many years ago. His Highness was only six or seven years old at the time, and he was covered in blood when he came back."
Jiang Rao felt something strange in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Maybe you can remember exactly what year it happened?"
The female officer paused, and said for a while: "Yuande twelve years."
Jiang Rao bit her lower lip.
The twelfth year of Yuande happened to be the same year as the year she was abducted by traffickers at the Lantern Festival.
Jiang Rao didn't ask what day it was.
She couldn't remember the day when she was abducted.
She found Rong Ting, seeing her coming, Rong Ting tried her cold hands, and took her own initiative to put her hands into his arms.
"Aren't you going to hide now?" Jiang Rao wanted to stretch out her hand to pinch his waist, but was held tightly by his big hand, unable to move, she muttered, she refused to let me hug her when she was a child. "
Rong Ting understood immediately.
His face darkened slightly, his breathing sounded like a sigh, and he asked Jiang Rao, "How do you know?"
"Today, my mother came to ask me if I would go hunting in the hunting ground this year, and told me about the past few years." "I knew it, because you were the one who gave birth to the child."
It's still a pity.
She had seen him before, but at that time his face was dirty, and she couldn't see what he looked like from the beginning to the end.
Jiang Rao leaned on Rong Ting's chest, her eyes suddenly became bright.
Suddenly she wanted a child very much.
It would be best if it was like Rong Ting.
Jiang Rao's mind moved, and Huan//Haoshi took the initiative to be more enthusiastic.
But there are no children.
The imperial doctor from the imperial hospital came to see her and said that there was nothing wrong with her and Rong Ting's health.
Jiang Rao was a little disappointed, Rong Ting comforted her and said: "Maybe it's my fate that is lonely, and being able to be with you is not easy enough, so I shouldn't expect extravagant children."
"But you, as an emperor, cannot live without an heir." Jiang Rao's brows almost frowned. These old ministers, each of them has to hold the matter of their heirs, and they are impeached non-stop.
"If it's really a day, I will arrange it myself."
Rong Ting is an understatement.
He didn't pay attention to the gangsters in the imperial court who had ulterior motives and wanted to benefit the family and put their daughters next to him.
As for those who talk about the issue of children, he has his own way to toss them.
No one can force him to do what he doesn't want to do.
"Relax, there is no rush."
The imperial physician agreed, and Jiang Rao put his mind at ease.
It's just that I still feel a little depressed in my heart, and I really want children.
In the third year of Yuanxi, Rong Ting took Jiang Rao to Weifu for a private visit.
Liao Qiubai was the first official in the court who knew about it. When Rong Ting told Liao Qiubai about his plan to visit Weifu in private, he jumped up angrily, "You are considerate of the people, why don't you come later to do so three months later? It's a busy time. I can't catch the minister, I'm afraid... I will cause trouble."
"Your Majesty must keep your promise. I have promised the Queen, I will not break the promise, and I must keep my word."
Just let this cunning and treacherous old fox, as long as he wants to deal with those people, if you avoid it, you will have to suffer from him and be fooled by him.
He did what he said, but only for the queen.
Liao Qiubai couldn't get angry, couldn't laugh, and could only take over the burden.
The private visit by Weifu really made Jiang Rao feel much better, and she no longer entangled in the child's affairs.
Before leaving, Jiang Rao personally counted the luggage, and a package arrived, she opened it, and there were some medicinal materials inside.
Jiang Rao thought that Rong Ting's old illness had relapsed, and she didn't want her to know, so she secretly took some medicine and took some from it, planning to take it to the doctor's office to ask for a chance.
After asking, I found out that several medicines, put together, are a soup for men to drink.
Jiang Rao couldn't believe it, and when it was night, she was still in a daze.
Rong Ting's body is always smelled of medicine, no matter in the past or now, she has never thought about it, this time when she saw this medicine, she not only figured out why his body was full of medicine smell, but also... conceived.
She wanted kids, he didn't want them at all.
Thinking of how hard she has worked so hard recently, Jiang Rao suddenly feels wronged.
When Rong Ting came back at night, what he saw were the medicines on the table.
Jiang Rao waved all the maids back, the light fell on her, like pure white porcelain, the corners of her eyes were red, "This medicine..."
Rong Ting paused, stopped in place, with a cold face, started to walk suddenly, walked to Jiang Rao, half knelt down, "Niannian..."
Although the corners of Jiang Rao's eyes were red, her voice was still gentle and steady, "Rong Ting, please tell me carefully, do you want to have a child?"
Rong Ting was silent for a while, then lowered his head like a dog in water, "I don't want to."
Jiang Rao suddenly became very sober, "You lied to me when you said you wanted a child."
This time, Rong Ting was silent for a longer time.
He acquiesced to Jiang Rao's words.
From beginning to end, he never thought about letting her have a child.
It took him a lot of patience to accept her family, how could it be possible for her to suffer and give birth to a child that made him feel impatient.
He is not a person who lives in the rules of etiquette, so why should he care about the principles of ethics? The country does not necessarily have to be passed on to the children of the Rong family's blood. As for who he wants to pass it on... He has already made a plan in his heart-to adopt a child and teach him the emperor's inheritance from an early age. Let’s just say it’s Jiang Rao and his child.
But he is also full of blood, and he always desires her.
Rong Ting's eyes sank, "You and I are enough, there is no need for one more person."
"Even if the first person who comes here is our child, it won't work"
Rong Ting nodded.
Jiang Rao was about to cry. She tried to understand his various differences from others, but she couldn't figure out the matter of being a child...
She gestured with tears in her eyes, "Children, it's not someone else."
Jiang Rao was a little flustered, and talked for a long time, not knowing what he was talking about, and finally said: "I want it."
Tears fell on the back of Rong Ting's hands drop by drop, Rong Ting panicked for a moment, and hurriedly raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her face. Jiang Rao was still crying, he had no choice but to say, "I won't drink Bizi Tang anymore."
"You want a baby, we want a baby."
"How many?" Jiang Rao asked, fluttering her wet eyelashes.
Rong Ting choked, and said with difficulty: "One is fine."
Jiang Rao refused, "Two."
"… one."
"Three."
She actually raised the price in the original way, Rong Ting pressed his forehead and insisted: "One."
Jiang Rao thought for a while, "Four."
"..." Rong Ting's jaw tightened, he took a deep breath, and finally let go, "At most two."
Jiang Rao stopped talking, Rong Ting squatted in front of her, and asked cautiously, "Can't you stand me?"
The voice is very soft.
Jiang Rao lowered her eyes, she was just sad, "Why do you always don't know how to discuss with me?"
With sadness in his eyes, Rong Ting smiled softly, "If I discussed it with you, I never listened to you."
Jiang Rao's heart softened immediately, she held Rong Ting's face in her hands, and said, "I can't stand you, don't think too much about it."
Rong Ting promised Jiang Rao that he would stop Bizitang, so he really stopped Bizitang. They stayed in Jinling for another half a month, and as planned, they went south to Beijing for a private visit.
It's only been three months since I left, and I arrived at a small town in Yizhou, where glutinous rice is abundant, Jiang Rao stayed in the carriage, and Rong Ting got out of the carriage to buy glutinous rice balls for her.
Jiang Rao has often felt sleepy in recent days, no matter how hard she slept, she couldn't get enough sleep. She lay on the side of the car window, waiting for Rong Ting to come back, looked at the glutinous rice balls he brought back, and frowned, "Looks like you."
"Um?"
"White on the outside, black on the inside."
Rong Ting handed the ball to Jiang Rao, Jiang Rao held it and looked down, but he didn't move for a long time.
Rong Ting said to the coachman to go on the road, looked back at Jiang Rao motionless, "Can't bear to eat?"
Jiang Rao smelled the sweet and greasy aroma in the air, raised her sleeves to cover her face, her voice quivered, "Take me to the medical clinic."
Jiang Rao is pregnant.
The child is three months old and is very peaceful, but Jiang Rao is so tired that she is not interested in the sweets she liked before.
He was born in March, a day when the spring river was warm, and he was named Rong An.
Rong An's facial features are very similar to Rong Ting, except for his eyes. His eyes are not the sharp and beautiful phoenix eyes of Rong Ting, but they are rounder than the eyes of a puppy, round and bright. The rest of them are exactly the same as Rong Ting, but there is the baby fat on his face, which is unique to children. He's so pretty that he doesn't look like a real person, and he's as painful as a puppy a few months old. The maids in the palace couldn't help but look at him more when they saw him.
Rong An liked to cling to Jiang Rao very much, and Jiang Rao fulfilled her own wish to have a child like Rong Ting, wishing she could watch him all day long.
Rong Ting was annoyed at him, but there was nothing he could do, Jiang Rao's baby, he could not beat or scold him, so he could gossip on both sides.
When Rong An was four years old, when he was the most tightly entangled with Jiang Rao, Rong Ting said to Jiang Rao: "I heard from the palace servants around An An that he has a toothache recently. He was afraid of your distress, so he kept silent in front of you."
Jiang Rao was checking the menu sent by the maid, and after hearing Rong Ting's words, she hurriedly crossed out a few dinner dishes that were rich in sugar and honey.
Rong An, like Jiang Rao, was addicted to sweets, and couldn't taste sweets for several days, so he came to Jiang Rao to ask the truth, but was stopped by Rong Ting again.
Rong An has always been a little afraid of his father.
He stood obediently, his puppy eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to breathe.
Rong Ting asked, "Why did An An find your mother?"
Rong An replied: "There is no sugar in the porridge, it's not sweet and not tasty."
Rong Ting smiled softly, "There is no sugar in the porridge, it's your mother's arrangement."
Rong An pursed his lips, feeling a little aggrieved.
Rong Ting said: "Your mother doesn't let you use these because she is afraid that you will have a toothache."
Rong An drooped his eyelashes, as if he couldn't figure it out, "Isn't it okay at all?"
Rong Ting stretched out his hand towards him, "Your mother is a little stricter."
He held a small cube of sugar in his palm, "It's fine for An An to eat a piece."
Rong An took the small cube of sugar babyfully, laughed, and secretly glanced at Rong Ting.
He suddenly pursed his mouth again, and gently put the candy back into Rong Ting's hand, picked it up, put it down again, and shook his head, "An'an doesn't want it."
"Why not?"
Rong An shook his head desperately, "Don't worry, mother."
Rong Ting squeezed his fingers together and laughed.
Although Rong An didn't get the candy, since the past few days, he has gradually understood a truth that his father is more generous than his mother.
He has reached the age of worshiping his father again, reading books and calligraphy, practicing martial arts hard, and demeanor calmly.
When she gets busy, she doesn't cling to Jiang Rao like she did when she was younger.
The child who was originally clinging to herself suddenly didn't like to run towards her, Jiang Rao was still a little uncomfortable.

Rong Ting knew everything, and said to Jiang Rao: "Sooner or later, An An will grow up, and sooner or later he will realize his own pursuit and ambition. The one who can always be with you is me."
He must let himself be in Jiang Rao's heart, a head taller than his son.
…
Another year at the end of winter, when Rong Ting took Jiang Rao for a private visit, it happened to be the New Year's Day festival, and every family put out river lanterns.
The bright river lanterns all over the river were reflected in Jiang Rao's eyes. Jiang Rao bent down, let go of a river lantern, and said inadvertently, "Everyone is praying to the gods. I don't know if there is anyone. I have really seen the gods."
The people around him didn't answer, Jiang Rao talked for a while, feeling that the surrounding was too quiet, and looked sideways at him.
Standing beside her, Rong Ting said: "Me."
Jiang Rao was stunned for a moment, and connected the sentence he had just said unintentionally with the sentence he answered, and suddenly laughed, "Have you seen it?"
She was all smiles, obviously in disbelief.
Rong Ting's gaze fell on her steadily, "I've seen you."
Pedestrians on the river, river lights in the river, amidst the hustle and bustle of people, An An's childish voice came more and more clearly, "Twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, three... Mother..."
He squatted by the river like a little frog, recited one, two, three, four, and counted how many river lanterns there were in the river, but as more and more people put the river lanterns on, the river lanterns in the river became more and more The more there are, the more he can't count, he jumped up with a swish, and ran over from the back, anxious to find his mother.
Jiang Rao picked him up, An An immediately wanted to kiss Jiang Rao on the cheek, but Rong Ting pushed his face away before he could touch it.
An An's chubby face was deformed under Rong Ting's hands, and he was still pouting desperately. Jiang Rao took the initiative to lean over and let him kiss him. An An was so happy that the hair on his head was going up, and he clapped his little hands , Said loudly: "An'an has seen it too, it's mother!"
