It's almost three watch, Shuang'er is sitting on the chair in the hall with the stove in hand, her eyes are closed and she seems to be sleeping, but when she hears the voice of the princess coming from the inner room, how can she fall asleep? Controlled ups and downs with the princess's cry, high and low for a while, there is a place in my heart that seems to be empty and needs something to fill.
Shuang'er leaned in the other direction and sighed silently. Sometimes she really misses when the princess was pregnant, she would fall asleep at night without them waiting for anything. Last month, the princess had a full moon, and the two masters made a simple move. For some reason, the next month was very peaceful. Shuang'er has heard people say that after a woman gives birth, her bottom will become loose. Before, she was worried for the princess that she would not be liked by the prince. Now...
From a watch to now...
Shuang'er yawned, and no longer doubted the prince's love for the princess, and just hoped that the masters would finish things early, she should be waiting for her, so she could sleep in peace.
In the inner room, Song Jianing was lying on the pillow, and the pillow surface was soaked by the sweat on her face. The prince finally stopped moving, and Song Jianing was like a flower washed ashore. After the strong wind and waves on the lake, she had no strength now. She closed her eyes, the aftermath of the wind and waves were still surging in her body, her body was tired, but her spirit was unexpectedly good.
Last month, she had an empty heart to accompany the prince for a whole night, but when it really moved, it was uncomfortable and could not bear it. , needs to be raised for another half a month. The prince simply waited another month. Tonight, the two of them started cautiously, but in the end, they went crazy. The long-drought crops finally waited for the rain to come.
He lay down and kissed her on the shoulder gently, Song Jianing tilted his head, he thoughtfully helped her brush away the hair that was blocking her face. Song Jianing opened his eyes, and the tent was bright, remembering that he had specially instructed Shuang'er and the others not to blow out the lights, so that they could see her clearly, another itch in Song Jianing's heart.
After he kissed her shoulder, he started to move up. Song Jianing watched his flushed handsome face approach slowly, his eyes met. In the end, she closed her mouth shyly and only opened her mouth slightly to welcome his kiss. But it came twice in a row, each time getting longer and longer, Zhao Heng didn't have the strength to make waves for the time being, he rolled over and took her into his arms.
The breathing of the two gradually became even, and Zhao Heng's eyes gradually regained clarity. He held her hand on his chest, and whispered, "Enter the palace tomorrow morning, and let the emperor take a look at Zhaozhao." In fact, after the full moon It was time to carry his daughter into the palace, but in the cold winter, Zhao Heng was worried that his daughter would be cold, and after asking his father for instructions, he deliberately delayed it for a month.
Song Jianing was already prepared, but thinking that tomorrow would be the first time her daughter entered the palace to see the emperor, she was still a little nervous, she got up with her arms up, looked at the man lying flat and said, "I heard that the second sister-in-law brought Sister Kang into the palace, The royal father hugged once and cried once, and then stopped hugging, so the noble concubine doesn't like Sister Kang anymore, and I don't know what happened."
She was afraid that her daughter would cry too and be rejected by the royal grandfather.
"Acknowledgment." Zhao Heng guessed. After speaking, he squeezed her hand. Thinking of his own pretty chubby little girl, his voice softened a bit: "Zhaozhao is not afraid." My daughter never cried.
Listening to his vowed tone, Song Jianing lowered his head and snickered. He didn't tell him that his daughter hadn't recognized her yet, so how could she recognize her life.
A good night's sleep, Zhao Heng hugged his daughter the next day, Song Jianing followed by wearing a cloak, and the family of three entered the palace. As the New Year was approaching, the court officials also had a holiday. Emperor Xuande was free at this time at the end of the year. Knowing that the third family was coming over, Emperor Xuande stayed in the middle palace after having breakfast with Queen Li and played chess with Queen Li.
Queen Li is a talented girl, especially good at chess and painting. Emperor Xuande is also superb at chess. The husband and wife do not have to let anyone else, and the game is hearty. When Song Jianing and the others came over, the Empress had just finished a round, and Emperor Xuande deliberately put a little water in, letting Queen Li win.
Over the years, Emperor Xuande has given so many things to his little empress, and for a while, he really couldn't think of what to reward.
"You can't be fooled, I will reward my little granddaughter first." Emperor Xuande said jokingly when he heard that the third family had arrived.
Empress Li sneered at him and moved her gaze to the door of the Nuan Pavilion.
"Father, Queen Mother." Zhao Heng hugged his daughter, led his wife in, and saluted succinctly.
Emperor Xuande nodded, looking at his son and daughter-in-law before him. His four sons are married, and the daughters-in-law are all good looking. The second daughter-in-law is a bit special, especially useless, even her husband can't coax her, she pretends to be generous when she enters the palace, and looks at Emperor Xuande and feels bad. The fourth daughter-in-law is very special. She is good at dancing and sticking, but her body is less feminine. There is only the third daughter-in-law. Although she was born the worst, she is round and well-behaved, and the little bird stands beside the third child, which is really disgusting.
"Your Majesty, I see, King Shou seems to have gotten a little fatter, don't you think so?" Empress Li looked at the young couple and chuckled lightly.
Emperor Xuande looked at the third child again, and did not see the difference between fat and thin, but the third child's complexion was indeed better, and his bearing was also different. The third child before marriage is like a beautiful jade that has not yet been carved. There is a green alienation in the elegance, and he refuses to be a thousand miles away. When he became the third child of his father, the faint coldness gradually disappeared, and he became a graceful prince. .
Why is there such a change? Of course, he married the right princess, the young couple lived a good life, and the third child became more and more popular.
"Give me a hug to Zhaozhao." Knowing that his son was doing well, Emperor Xuande also relaxed and waved to his son.
Zhao Heng came forward with his daughter in his arms and delivered it to his father.
Emperor Xuande was very skilled in holding children. After taking the swaddle, he saw a white and clean girl lying inside. The little girl was sitting in a carriage all the way and fell asleep. Her eyelashes were dense and long, like two small fans. The fleshy face followed her mother's at first glance, she was called tender, Emperor Xuande couldn't help reaching out and gently tapped his little granddaughter.
Unexpectedly, just clicked twice, the little girl suddenly moved her head. Before her eyes opened, her mouth opened wide, and she yawned roundly. Emperor Xuande forgot his movements in surprise, and then saw the little girl closed her mouth and opened her eyes. Her dark almond eyes, round and bright, stared at him without blinking.
Emperor Xuande had never seen such a beautiful female doll, and his Princess Duanhui was also very beautiful, but the princess was born more than ten years ago, and she was still his only princess. When it came to the grandchildren, Emperor Xuande wronged the second-eldest sister Kang because of the Northern Expedition. Later, Emperor Xuande tried to make amends, but the eldest granddaughter kept crying for some reason, and his heart for compensation faded away.
Compared with the eldest granddaughter, the younger granddaughter is more and more well-behaved and likable.
"Why is it called Zhaozhao?" Emperor Xuande shook his little granddaughter unconsciously and asked the third child with interest. The two grandsons of the old master were named by him, and Sister Kang was also coaxed by Concubine Wu to choose them. When it was the turn of the youngest granddaughter, Emperor Xuande thought of a pair of names in advance. He had both his sons and daughters. Unexpectedly, his son chose it himself. The meaning is true. good.
"Born at sunrise." Zhao Heng looked at his infant daughter and said.
Emperor Xuande nodded.
"Your Majesty, give me a hug." Queen Li said greedily.
Emperor Xuande glanced at her and handed over his little granddaughter. Empress Li hugged Zhaozhao, looked down, and her eyes were soft and watery. Although she didn't praise her very much, she simply praised her beauty, but the corners of her eyes and brows were all liked from the bottom of her heart. Emperor Xuande looked in his eyes, thinking of Xiao Wu, who had just died a year ago, and that Empress Li was crying and fell asleep in his arms that night, Emperor Xuande lowered his eyes silently, unable to bear to look again.
Two quarters of an hour later, Zhao Heng and Song Jianing went back to the palace with their daughter and the empress' generous reward.
At noon that day, Empress Li didn't eat much. Emperor Xuande knew that she must have thought of her son who died prematurely, so he did not persuade her. No consolation would work for this kind of pain. Empress Li could only figure it out on her own. Emperor Xuande felt sorry for his little queen, but he believed that she would come out soon. After all, when his son just died, the heart-piercing pain was over.
But this time Emperor Xuande miscalculated. Empress Li lost her appetite for several days in a row, and became sick like a mountain. Emperor Xuande called to the imperial physician to diagnose the pulse, and the imperial physician sighed and said that the empress was suffering from stagnation, and she needed a physician for her heart disease. Emperor Xuande was both pitiful and helpless. After sending the imperial physician, he sat beside the bed, held Empress Li's hand and sighed, "How can you let me govern the country with confidence?"
Queen Li just wept silently.
"Your Majesty, several princesses have come to visit the empress."
Emperor Xuande nodded and wiped away tears for Empress Li as if there was no one else around. He gave her one last look, got up and left. Walking out of the outer hall, I saw four daughters-in-law standing side by side, the eldest daughter-in-law holding his eldest grandson Sheng brother in his hand.
"Grandfather." Brother Sheng called sweetly.
Emperor Xuande smiled, touched the top of his grandson's head, and left with a complicated mood.
After staying in the Chongzheng Hall for a long time, the sky was dark. Emperor Xuande returned to the middle palace again, walked into the inner room, and saw his little queen leaning on the head of the bed to do needlework. It was just the beginning, but it could be seen that it was a child. clothes. Emperor Xuande walked over unexpectedly, and Empress Li smiled when she saw him. The smile was weak, but her eyes recovered.
Emperor Xuande breathed a sigh of relief, sat next to her, and asked suspiciously, "You are still ill, if you don't take a good rest, what needle and thread are you doing?"
Empress Li looked at her hand and smiled softly: "It's New Year's Eve, I'll make a dress for Brother Sheng. He's still young, so it won't take much effort."
Emperor Xuande understood as soon as he heard it. His little queen was probably pinning her feelings for her son on her grandson. He watched silently for a while, and after about a quarter of an hour, worried that Queen Li was tired, he asked the palace maid to take away the needle and thread. In the evening, Emperor Xuande was staying in the Central Palace. In the dead of night, he suddenly heard the woman beside him babbling in his sleep. Emperor Xuande turned sideways and focused on distinguishing.
"Brother Sheng...let's eat candy..."
I dream about my grandson.
The dreaming quickly disappeared, Empress Li fell into a deep sleep, but Emperor Xuande was unable to sleep.
It is another new year. After the Shangyuan Festival, for the first time in the early morning, after dealing with major matters in the country, Emperor Xuande issued an imperial decree, saying that after the princes left the palace, he repeatedly felt empty, and from now on he ordered the eldest grandson of the emperor to enter the palace, and he personally Raising, every ten-day holiday, the eldest grandson of the emperor can return to the palace of the king of Chu, in order to perform filial piety in front of the husband and wife of the king of Chu.
