The birth of the twins made people who had already made plans hesitate to move forward. Therefore, during Qiu Yilan's confinement, there was still an endless stream of people visiting her and the twins. For a while, there was no sign of a downward trend - Jiang Yadan was so drunk in the "Yinchun Tower" that he only remembered to go home after playing for six or seven days.
As soon as he came back, he was called over and scolded by the old servant in front of Duke Qin. Although this guy was unreliable and didn't know much about the seriousness, he was shocked when he heard that his sister-in-law had given birth prematurely. He quickly asked the adults about the child's situation. He heard that everything was fine. Then he was relieved, wiping cold sweat and rejoicing: "It's so lucky, otherwise I would never give up with my grandson at the age of nineteen!"
"Since you know that Shijiu is in love with his wife and that his wife is pregnant, you actually come to his wife and say something about shopping in Goulan?!" Duke Qin was so angry that he laughed! He knew that his grandson was not living up to expectations, but was he so stupid? !
Jiang Yadan said angrily: "My grandson didn't expect that the nineteenth daughter-in-law was so aggressive. Grandpa, please ask, whose sister-in-law would beat the elder brother-in-law just because he said something unpleasant? Not even the elders in the family are like this. Not to my grandson?"
"I think you just got beaten less!" Qin Guogong had no intention of standing up for him at all, and said coldly, "You are such an old man, and your children are already planning to marry each other, and you are still so unsatisfactory - it's because I am too old to care. Now, ten years ago, if I didn’t hang you up for three days, you would come and ask me! “What’s the point of beating you, my uncle?” This grandson's daughter-in-law was climbing on my grandfather's wall in the middle of the night two days ago - for a woman with such a temper, you actually asked her to persuade her husband to accompany you to a brothel. It's like you came to your door to ask for a beating!
Duke Guo of Qin scolded Jiang Yadan, "Go back to your room and be grounded for a month. If you dare to wander around or cause trouble, I will ask the guards to tie you up and whip you!"
Jiang Yadan was used to hearing this kind of scolding, and he didn't take it seriously. When he left, he asked, "My grandson has to go to Nineteenth to make amends with Nineteenth, right? Otherwise, wouldn't Nineteenth feel aggrieved?"
"Go away!" Qin Guogong waved his sleeves and was too lazy to look at him.
Jiang Yadan came to Jiang Yashuang first and coaxed his younger brother with nice words. Since Qiu Yilan's mother and son were safe, Jiang Yashuang didn't resent him deeply at the moment, but thinking of Chu Yitong's previous attitude, in order to prevent The sister-in-law turned around to sow discord in front of Jiang Yadan and said, "Bago, you don't need to be out of touch. You can't be entirely blamed for this. The big loss Lanlan suffered during pregnancy is the root cause."
After that, he added, "Please explain to Sister-in-law that Lanlan was born prematurely this time because she happened to be pregnant, and she did not intentionally embarrass her. Brother Bago also knows that although Lanlan has a good foundation, she suffered a big loss on New Year's Eve." , we have been worried since then, how could we let her take risks?”
Jiang Yadan frowned when he heard this: "Did your sister-in-law say something unpleasant?" He is a typical person who "brothers are like brothers and women are like clothes." What's more, although Chu Yitong is still young and beautiful, how many years has he been in the family? , the novelty has also passed, and his face darkened when he heard this, "Don't worry, I will discipline her well when I get back!"
"It's Bao'er's mother after all!" Jiang Yashuang knew that he was very mean in what he said and did. Although he was wary of his sister-in-law, he was still afraid that they would cause a big trouble, so he reminded her hurriedly, "Bago, please tell me nicely. That’s it, don’t be impatient!”
Jiang Yadan hummed: "I know!"
How to deal with Chu Yitong when he went back to the room, Jiang Yashuang turned around and couldn't care anymore - the twins were really born with deficiencies, and their condition was not good the night they were born. Jiang Yashuang invited Dr. Lin overnight, and Dr. Lin also felt that It’s extremely difficult: “Master Sun is too young and has not yet been born at full term. Acupuncture and medicine are not available, so we can only do our best and obey fate!”
Of course, this kind of news cannot be concealed. The next day, many people knew that the twins who had just arrived in the Jiang family were likely to die. Before they could adjust to this mood, they also heard that the twins were lucky enough to survive!
All in all, during the month of Qiu Yilan's confinement, the twins were getting better and worse at other times, so much so that no one of them lost weight! Qiu Yilan, who was not even allowed to stay, surprised the congratulatory crowd at the full moon wine: "There is no one in our family who is not fat after confinement, but my nineteenth daughter-in-law has lost weight even more?"
Zhuang Man looked at the two children who had finally put them to sleep and comforted her: "Since you have survived all this trouble, you are obviously blessed. If you want to be more cheerful, don't worry too much!"
Qiu Yilan smiled bitterly and was waiting for an answer when suddenly a servant came through the door and informed: "The Queen Mother heard that today the nineteen and twenty-two grandsons are full moon, and they will be given a special reward!"
"Come with me to thank the empress for your kindness!" Qiu Yilan stood up and said to Zhuang Man and others, "I never thought that the empress would remember this when she was ill!" There was a sigh in the words - the late emperor killed his mother and killed his sister, Concubine Ren. After her son's incident came out, Queen Xin was suddenly promoted to the throne of the Queen Mother, but neither the newly-promoted Queen Mother Xin nor the Xin family were happy: Jiang Tianchi's purpose was already very clear, and the current Queen Mother and her son It's just that I'm holding something for Jiang Tianchi temporarily!
What's more, judging from Jiang Tianchi's brutal attack on Empress Dowager Jiang and her daughter, let alone what happens to Empress Dowager Xin in the future, Chu Shao basically has no hope of living - so before the fire in Taishi Palace was extinguished, Xin Fubing collapsed. In Bei Que Palace, I started to feel sick that night!
During this period, Qiu Yilan was also in a difficult situation and could not spare any time to pay attention to her, but she didn't want her twins to be full moon, so she still remembered it.
"Actually, when I entered the palace two days ago, the emperor...the queen mother asked me to send a message that she wanted you to visit her after you are out of confinement." After thanking her, he asked people to pack up their things, and Qiu Yilan and others were on their way back to the table. , Zhuang Man told her softly, "It should be for His Majesty's sake!"
"I'm afraid it's because of my own weakness!" Qiu Yilan sighed in dismay. She might have been able to speak through Jiang Yashuang before, but now? Now Jiang Yashuang's own future is uncertain, let alone protecting Chu Shao
"The Queen Mother is so pitiful!" Zhuang Man knew her helplessness and sighed gloomily without saying a word.
Although the full-moon banquet was lively, many people were preoccupied. In the evening, after the guests dispersed and Qiu Yilan settled in with her husband, she talked about Chu Shao’s mother and son: “The Queen Mother wants me to come to the palace to see her, I’m afraid she is worried. His Majesty’s safety.”
"It's useless to talk to us about this matter." Jiang Yashuang closed her eyes and said calmly, "The only hope is to talk to my grandfather through my aunt to tell my father, but I'm not sure whether it can happen."
Qiu Yilan sighed: "I know!"
Two days later, I saw that the twins were still in good spirits and there was no need for her to be with them all the time. After telling his mother and Zhou's mother to take good care of them, they took Su He into the palace - since most of the Ganquan Palace was burned down, it would not be possible to clean it up in a short time. After Chu Shao ascended the throne, Xin Fubing could no longer live in Zishen Palace, so he temporarily lived in Ganli Palace where Empress Dowager Ye lived in the past.
Ganquan and Ganli palaces were both the residences of the empress dowager in this dynasty. The former housed the empress dowager, and the latter housed the empress dowager.
When Emperor Dezong passed away, Empress Dowager Ye was supposed to live in Ganquan Palace and Empress Dowager Gu lived in Ganli Palace. However, Empress Dowager Gu relied on the fact that the new prince was her biological son, and Empress Dowager Ye was implicated by the deposed crown prince, so she robbed Ganquan Palace to live in. However, she drove Empress Dowager Ye to Ganli Palace without saying anything, and also instigated the palace officials to withhold the expenses. , and reduced the manpower to serve, the Ganli Palace, which was originally a magnificent palace with green tiles and Zhuzhu, fell into ruins in just a few years.
When Qiu Yilan entered Ganli Palace for the first time eleven years ago, the place was desolate. Since the death of Queen Mother Ye, the palace has been sealed and has lost its popularity.
Even though Empress Dowager Xin had hurriedly cleaned and rested before moving in, she still had a heavy air of twilight.
"Are you here?" Empress Dowager Xin was still ill, so she met Qiu Yilan in the bedroom. The hand resting on the brocade quilt was as thin as a chicken's claw, with only bones but no flesh. She said lightly, "I heard that you were born prematurely. It's very dangerous, I'm very worried... Even though I asked Man'er to send a message last time, I didn't expect you to come so soon. "
"I'm fine myself. I used the confinement period to get rid of the root cause of the illness I suffered from that night on New Year's Eve." Qiu Yilan looked at her current situation with a sad expression and said softly, "It's just the two children that are worrying, so simply doing this Nothing happened for two days."
"Children of the Jiang family have great luck after all." Empress Dowager Xin didn't know if she smiled sarcastically or with emotion, "On the other hand, the children of the Chu family... the luck of these two and three generations is not very good!"
Qiu Yilan didn't know how to answer. After a pause, she followed Jiang Yashuang's suggestion and asked warmly: "You are not in good health. Have your fifth aunt come to see you? I heard at home that my little aunt is I care about you very much.”
"What's the use of worrying anymore?" Empress Dowager Xin leaned on the couch and said with some choking, "Did Man'er tell you that I invited you to the palace because of Shao'er's affairs?"
Qiu Yilan was about to answer, but Queen Mother Xin continued, "Actually, no, no matter how naive I am, I know that if you can help with this matter, you will never do anything; if you can't help me, I will make things difficult for you... I invite you to come into the palace. , thank you on behalf of Shaoer! "
"On New Year's Eve, if you hadn't jumped into the lake to save people without hesitation, I'm afraid Shao'er would have been gone!" Empress Dowager Xin laughed at herself, "In that case, the person who was killed by the late emperor in the first month of the year would not have been the imperial concubine. Mother and son, it’s me, right? After all, Uncle Zhenbei hasn’t returned to Beijing yet. A country can’t live without a king for a day, so there must be a prince left to support the show, right? Otherwise, who will represent the Chu family and hand over the world to Zhenbei? Uncle?"
Qiu Yilan felt sour in her heart, and said after a while: "My little aunt is still here, so there is always something to be prepared for."
"Is Aunt Tao not here?" Queen Mother Xin closed her eyes and whispered, "Second uncle is also here! But where are the Queen Mother and Yongfu now?"
"It's different." Qiu Yilan took a breath and said seriously, "My father joined the army when he was young. If we talk about the elders we have spent the longest time with, it is not my grandfather and grandmother, but my uncle and aunt - Zhenbei The army was handed over to my father by my uncle! When my uncle passed away, my father returned to Beijing desperately, with the intention of paralyzing Beihu, but it was also true, wasn't it? "
Queen Mother Xin shook her head and said weakly: "Don't tell me hope now... I can't hear the word hope... If there is no hope, maybe it will be better in the future. If there is hope, I will be disappointed in the end. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it... Don't say it Now, I originally wanted to call Shao'er to come over and thank you in person, but now I really can't bear to see him... So let me express my feelings to you on his behalf!"
"You don't have to be like this!" Qiu Yilan wanted to say that when she jumped into the lake to save people that night, she mistakenly thought that the person in the lake was Jiang Jingkun or Jiang Jinglang. But looking at Queen Mother Xin's current appearance, she really couldn't say such hurtful words - she fell silent. After meeting, the Queen Mother closed her eyes and said, "I'm tired."
Qiu Yilan sighed secretly in her heart and stood up. Just as she was about to leave, someone from the palace hurried in from outside and reported solemnly: "News from Northern Xinjiang. Uncle Zhenbei and his family have set off to return to Beijing!"
