◎Daily routine during pregnancy◎
In early spring, everything revives, branches sprout new buds, the swallows that spent the winter have returned, and it is very lively chirping outside.
Queen Ma and others in the Changchun Palace were playing leaf cards with nothing to do.
Now Cui Wenxi's pregnancy has been firmly established. Because of her good card skills and fetal luck, she is very lucky and almost sweeps the entire field. There are already several gold ingots piled on the table, as well as a lot of broken silver.
Yongning's body ached so much that even Empress Ma couldn't bear it. Pingyang peeled tribute oranges for them and said with a smile: "It seems I'm lucky today, next time I'll throw in the moon-shaped golden tangerines."
Cui Wenxi said while playing his cards: "That's good."
She was in a business without straw. Before the game started, Pingyang threw in two gold coins to give her a starting point, agreeing to win or lose equally. As a result, Queen Ma and Yongning were robbed.
Pingyang fed her a piece of tribute orange. The juice was sweet and she liked it very much.
Yongning said dissatisfied: "Chang Yue, you have to take it easy. If this continues, I won't play cards with you anymore."
Cui Wenxi covered her mouth and smiled, "Look at my aunt, I'm in a hurry to lose."
Yongning said "Ouch", "Don't call me aunt, or you'll make me old!"
This made everyone laugh. Cui Wenxi smiled and asked: "Then what should I call you?"
Yongning: "Call me Yongning."
Empress Ma said: "Don't mess up the seniority, or you won't be serious."
Yongning raised his eyebrows, "Sister-in-law, don't talk about me. You've changed from sister-in-law to grandma, but how are you getting used to it?"
Empress Ma was extremely calm, "The eldest brother is like father, the eldest sister-in-law is like mother, and the eldest sister-in-law becomes grandma, it's the same."
Yongning was convinced by her words and there was nothing wrong with her.
A few people were laughing and talking, and Zhao Yue came over to see them when she had time. Seeing that Cui Wenxi had won a lot, she smiled and joked: "Yuan Niang, don't worry about losing my aunt."
Yongning didn't like to hear it and retorted: "Look at the nonsense you said, as if your aunt can't afford to lose."
Zhao Yue said "tsk tsk" twice, "A while ago I said I wouldn't play cards with Yuanniang anymore."
Yongning couldn't keep his face and hit him with a leaf card.
Zhao Yue sat aside to watch the battle, but it was a good thing that he didn't come. When Cui Wenxi sat next to her and lost several games in a row, she became unhappy and pushed him away and asked him to sit next to Yongning.
Yongning said hurriedly: "My good nephew, please don't come to harm me. I'm as bad as anything. If you want to go, just go to your grandma's place."
Empress Ma was afraid of causing bad luck, so she said disgustedly: "I don't need a filial son to watch over me when I'm young, Erlang should watch over your wife."
Zhao Yue: "..."
These women are so annoying!
He was really unlucky. He sat here and let Cui Wenxi lose two gold coins in a row. He was afraid of being beaten, so he quickly stayed away from his wife and chatted with Pingyang about daily life.
Pingyang suddenly asked about Gao Jia, the censor doctor. Zhao Yue said: "Gao Guanglu, that old man is very pedantic. His ancestors were all censors. Although he doesn't know how to adapt and is rigid and conservative, his family tradition is upright and strict, and he is quite a scholar. He has a strong character." After a pause, he said, "It's just that he's a little too straight-minded in dealing with things."
Pingyang smiled and said: "Is the whole family like this?"
Only then did Zhao Yue realize what he meant, "Sister, what are you asking the Gao family for?"
Pingyang: "Nothing, just asking casually." Then he said, "What about Gao Mingyuan, is he the same as his father?"
Zhao Yue waved her hand, "Gao Mingyuan is more transparent. Although he is not as pedantic as him, he is still old-fashioned, but his appearance is not bad, gentle and elegant..." He paused for a moment and asked tentatively, "Sister, could it be that Gao Mingyuan was taken by Gao Mingyuan? ?”
Pingyang denied: "There is no such thing."
Cui Wenxi suddenly interrupted and asked: "Is Gao Mingyuan really handsome?"
Pingyang replied: "Tall, fair and fair, he looks quite elegant."
Cui Wenxi said dissatisfied: "When I came to propose marriage with the Lihou Gao family, I was intercepted by Erlang before I even met him. Now that I heard what you said, Pingyang, I regret not having met him."
Zhao Yue was not annoyed and just said: "Don't think about it."
Hearing them mention the Gao family, the people playing leaf cards lost their minds and gossiped about whether Pingyang had fallen in love with Gao Mingyuan.
Pingyang said a few perfunctory words at first, and then couldn't help but ask questions again and again, and said that he had met him twice, once in the temple, and once when he saw the lanterns on the Lantern Festival night.
Several women immediately gathered together to ask questions. Even Zhao Yue gathered together to ask Gao Mingyuan.
Pingyang seemed to have a good impression of this person, saying that he was elegant in conversation, knowledgeable, and very steady in his actions.
Yongning clicked his tongue twice, pointed at her and said, "From what you said, I probably have a crush on her."
Cui Wenxi said: "I heard from the official matchmaker before that Gao Ming didn't have any concubines in his distant house. He never had a second marriage after the death of his first wife. He should be a man who values friendship."
When Pingyang heard this, he became interested and said: "But he has two and a half young men under his knees."
Cui Wenxi waved his hand and said: "That's okay. I remember that their family said at the time that the child didn't need to be bothered by him and would be raised in the hands of the old couple." He added, "Gao Mingyuan seems to be slightly younger than you. If Pingyang falls in love, If you get him, let him enter your princess mansion, which will save you a lot of trouble."
Empress Ma said: "The third rank of the Gao family is not bad. If he has good conduct and a good family tradition, Pingyang himself will like him, so we can get in touch with him more and get to know each other more."
Zhao Yue had a pretty good impression of this man and said: "Gao Mingyuan will most likely inherit his father's ambition in the future. If my sister likes him, it will be a good marriage."
Seeing their recognition, Pingyang was very happy.
People discussed Gao Mingyuan.
When the sky got dark, Pingyang and Yongning went back to their house.
Empress Ma ordered the chef to cook Cui Wenxi's favorite dishes. The sage Zhao Junqi also came over to eat, and the family sat together and chatted about homely things.
Cui Wenxi got along harmoniously with them. Queen Ma was always gentle, and Zhao Junqi was also generous. Moreover, she was pregnant, which made her even more popular with the old couple, because Zhao Junqi was counting on resigning every day.
As long as the child is born, regardless of male or female, Zhao Yue can be considered to have a family and a career. As an old father, his mission has been completed. He doesn't want to worry about anything and just wants to be free and happy.
Empress Ma served Cui Wenxi a bowl of old hen soup. She had a great appetite, but she didn't dare to eat haise. Even if she was greedy sometimes, Fang Ling would always remind her to stop, because the fetus might not be able to give birth if it was too big. , so he is very restrained in his diet.
At present, she has not encountered any difficulties during her pregnancy. The hospital is always there when she is called. There is also a nun in the palace who is responsible for her diet. She has clothes to put on, food to eat, and mouth to open.
Even during the first period of morning sickness, she would pinch Zhao Yue when she felt unhappy.
The guy was at her mercy and had a very good temper. Sometimes when she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, she would pick him up and tell him ghost stories from the county chronicle to pass the time.
Zhao Yue's work and rest routine has also changed a lot. She used to stay up very late before taking a break, but now she goes to bed at midnight and is hugged by her daughter-in-law, which is a lot more fun.
When the family talked about Pingyang, Zhao Junqi said: "I just hope that she will be safe and sound. When she was depressed and depressed because of Xu Huimao, it was really heartbreaking, but there was nothing we could do. Now she has finally come out, and I hope she can get married in the future. After all, I don’t have any children, so I feel a little lonely.”
Queen Ma: "Yes, it's a good thing that Chang Yue pulled her out of the mud. Otherwise, I don't know how long she would have been depressed."
Zhao Yue said: "It depends on whether sister has taken Gao Mingyuan's fancy. If she has, I will find a way to get her into the princess's mansion."
Cui Wenxi covered his mouth and said, "Erlang, it's better not to interfere. Maybe they were good people at first, but you messed it up and put them in a dilemma. That would be trouble." He added, "If Pingyang wants me, I'll do it myself." It’s better to let nature take its course. If they are really destined to be together, they will end up together."
Empress Ma nodded, "It's also asking for sincerity. Otherwise, I don't know what to do if we look at each other with disgust."
Today's spring bamboo shoots and tofu soup were delicious, and Cui Wenxi used a lot of them.
After the meal, everyone sat for a while and saw that it was getting late outside. Zhao Yue and Cui Wenxi returned to Yong'an Palace. She wanted to walk around and stretch her muscles, so she didn't sit on the chariot.
The couple walked slowly on the flat bluestone, Zhao Yue held her waist, Cui Wenxi thought he was in the way, so she kept moving away, and he kept helping her, causing Fang Ling and others behind her to cover their mouths and laugh.
When they walked into the corridor with red walls and green tiles, there was a big temperature difference between day and night in early spring. Zhao Yue put a hood on her, held her hand and walked.
The corridor is so long that it seems like you can never finish it in a lifetime.
The two whispered about trivial matters in life, and they were far away from Fangling, Eunuch Wei and others behind them. They couldn't hear clearly what they were talking about. They could only tell from Cui Wenxi's occasional laughter that she was being raped. Happy.
High walls stood on both sides, blocking the vast world of the outside world and trapping them in this majestic city, but they were not afraid at all because they were accompanied by each other.
The rest of my life is very long, like this endless corridor.
Zhao Yue's hands were warm and dry, and he led her slowly, wishing to walk with her through the four seasons of flowers and the endless rings of growth.
