Xiao Jingxi sighed: "Do you know why Beijing has been stable for so many years, and it has only been noisy in the past few years?"
Ren Yaoqi pretended to have an epiphany: "It's just that life is too stable."
The couple looked at each other for a moment, then smiled again.
As expected by Xiao Jingxi, Yelu Sage immediately threw himself into the struggle for the throne after returning. The king of the southern courtyard of the Liao Kingdom naturally supported Yelu Moqi, the son-in-law, but the northern courtyard was divided into two forces, one supported the younger son of the previous Liao king, and the other was faintly captured by Yelu Sage. Although everyone knows that at this time, it is useless for the military | government to be scattered in the country, but human desire | desire is a very magical thing, and those who do not stand at the pinnacle of power will not be able to appreciate the allure of power to people. "Fighting the outside world and keeping the inside first" is by no means a strategy that one or two incumbents would adopt.
And the reason why Yelu Sage was able to gather the forces of the North Academy after returning home was due to the credit of a man in Yunyang City who had no last resort.
What happened this year is a big event in the history of the Zhou Dynasty, but after the big event has passed, the people still live as they should, and the panic of the army suppressing the city is gradually thrown by ordinary Yanbei people. In the back of the head, after all, eating, sleeping, and surviving is the big deal.
In the blink of an eye, it was March.
The Yanbei Palace was so nervous from top to bottom that day, because Ren Yaoqi was about to give birth.
The princess started preparing for Ren Yaoqi's delivery three months earlier, and Ren Yaoqi also began to have abdominal pains on the expected day of delivery. Nanny Gong and two other midwives have been staying in Zhaoyang Hall for the past few days. Therefore, the production of Ren Yaoqi went very smoothly at the beginning.
The reason why it was smooth at the beginning was not that Ren Yaoqi encountered any danger in the production process, but that the weather suddenly changed when the child was about to fall to the ground. , thunder and lightning intersect, but only thunder and lightning but no rain.
The streets in Yunyang City were still lively. Pedestrians suddenly disappeared without a trace. Everyone hid in the houses on both sides of the street or under the eaves, looking up at the black and purple lined with thunder dots on their heads. of clouds.
Thunderstorms are common in spring, which is good for farmers. Although it is a bit strange that it only thunders and lightning does not rain, but it is not strange, but in later generations, some people still think that the sky is different on this day.
And Ren Yaoqi gave birth to the child amid the rolling thunder.
"Congratulations to the lord and concubine, congratulations to the second son, the young lady is born, it is a young son." With a loud cry. The door of the delivery room opened, and the people in the delivery room happily came out to announce the good news.
The prince and the princess were overjoyed when they heard the words. The princess was so emotional that she raised her hand to cover her mouth so as not to let herself cry. The prince who was standing beside saw it and gently hugged the princess' shoulders, and comforted her in a rare whisper.
Xiao Jingxi's first sentence was to ask, "How is the young lady?"
The person who announced the good news hurriedly said, "It's a natural birth. The young lady is doing very well, but she is a little out of strength."
Xiao Jingxi's ugly face finally relaxed. There was joy in his eyes.
Needless to say, no one in the palace of Yanbei was unhappy on this day, and people came to congratulate him in an endless stream.
When Ren Yaoqi woke up again, it was already dark. Now it was not because of the weather, but because it was already late. The thunder and lightning during the day came suddenly and went quickly, and it didn't take long for the sun to shine again. Clear skies. But at that time, Ren Yaoqi was working hard to have a child, so he didn't know it.
As soon as you open your eyes. Ren Yaoqi saw Xiao Jingxi sitting at the head of the bed staring at her, a warm feeling came from her palm, her hand was held by Xiao Jingxi.
Ren Yaoqi still felt tired, but she still tried her best to smile at Xiao Jingxi: "Why are you sitting here? I'm fine, just a little tired."
Xiao Jingxi gently pushed away the hair sticking to her cheek: "Well, I also just came in, sit here for a while."
Ren Yaoqi guessed that he must have been sitting for more than a while, because when she fell asleep, she faintly felt that someone had been sitting next to her, which made her feel at ease.
But Ren Yaoqi didn't say anything. She looked at the room and found that only she and Xiao Jingxi were there, not even the maid.
Xiao Jingxi noticed her gaze and said warmly, "I was afraid that they would disturb you to rest, so I dismissed them. The child is in the next room, do you want to take a look?"
After the child was born, Ren Yaoqi only glanced at it and knew that it was a son. Later, he fell into a drowsy sleep. Hearing Xiao Jingxi mentioning the child, his heart warmed slightly and nodded: "Okay."
Xiao Jingxi took care of Ren Yaoqi's quilt, then got up and walked out, and it didn't take long for him to come in with a big red swaddle. Ren Yaoqi's eyes were fixed on them without moving.
Xiao Jingxi placed the swaddle gently on Ren Yaoqi's side, sat down on the edge of the bed, and whispered, "It's still wrinkled and doesn't look good. Mother said that it will look good in a few days."
Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jingxi who wanted to comfort herself, and couldn't help but laugh a little. She turned to look at her son. The little guy with his eyes closed was still a little red, and the hair on his head was sparse, and it really didn't look good. And because it's too small, I can't see who the facial features look like.
"Do you want a hug?" Xiao Jingxi asked in a low voice when he saw that Ren Yaoqi was staring at his son's unattractive face.
Ren Yaoqi shook his head and whispered, "Let him fall asleep, I don't have much strength right now."
Xiao Jingxi also talked casually, and didn't say anything when he heard the words. The husband and wife were lying down and the other was sitting. They both looked at the sleeping child, and sometimes smiled at each other. Xiao Jingxi always held Ren Yaoqi. hand.
On the second day, Ren Shimin, Li Shi and Ren Yaohua and his wife came.
Seeing that the little grandson was so happy, Mrs. Li kept saying "Blessed by the Bodhisattva, blessed by the Bodhisattva", but refused to let go of the child.
Ren Shimin frowned and took a closer look at the child in Li's arms, and commented reservedly: "It looks very smart."
Mrs. Li also looked down at the child, and then at Ren Shimin. The child didn't have any facial features, and was sleeping with his eyes closed. How eccentric was he to come up with a smart evaluation? Even if Mrs. Lee likes her grandson very much, she can't agree!
Fortunately, Mrs. Li never refuted Ren Shimin's words. He nodded in agreement: "Master is right, looking at the child's forehead, he still looks a bit like the master."
Ren Shimin tilted his head and looked at it for a while, then nodded and said, "Well, that's true."
Ren Yaohua and his wife: "..."
Li Shi and Ren Yaohua went in to see Ren Yaoqi.
While wiping away her tears, Mrs Li said, "You are lucky, now I'm really relieved."
Saying that, Mrs. Li looked at Ren Yaohua again: "How are you taking care of your body? The little girl is getting bigger, and it's time for you..."
Before Mrs Li could finish speaking, Ren Yaohua interrupted her and said, "Mother, I'm still young, and a child will always be born, so don't be so arrogant."
Ren Yaohua has been the mistress of the Lei family for so long, and her whole person has undergone a great change from her aura to her temperament. She may have been a little worried when her daughter was just born, but now she is no longer. Although the heir is very important, she clearly understands that even if she never has a son in her life, she will be able to hold the position of the head wife of the Lei family. Besides, Ren Yaohua and Lei Ting have been married for so long, she trusts Lei Ting very much.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Li could only soften her attitude and sighed: "It's good that you know what you have in mind. You can hold more children later, maybe you can bring one to your stomach."
Ren Yaohua didn't believe this, but he responded perfunctorily, and then asked Ren Yaoqi, "Has the child's name been named?"
Ren Yaoqi cooperated with Ren Yaohua to change the topic: "The name has not been decided yet." The child's name was decided by the prince, but the king of Yanbei had not yet thought about it.
Seeing the two sisters talking, Mrs. Li was thinking about her grandson outside. After sitting for a while, she went out again, and simply let the two daughters chat in the room.
After Mrs. Li left, Ren Yaohua breathed a sigh of relief. Every time Mrs. Li saw her, she mentioned about the child. If Mrs. Li was not her mother, she would want to walk around every time she saw her from a distance.
"By the way, do you know the rumors outside?" Ren Yaohua asked in a soft voice deliberately.
Ren Yaoqi just gave birth to a child yesterday, and her body is still very weak. Naturally, she doesn't know what Ren Yaohua is referring to, but Ren Yaohua asked her now that it must have something to do with her, so she asked, "What rumors."
Ren Yaohua glanced at Ren Yaoqi, hesitated for a moment before lowering his voice and said, "Did you know that the sky was different yesterday?"
Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a while, she really didn't know, she didn't have the energy to pay attention yesterday, and no one asked her in front of her later.
Ren Yaohua said: "Yesterday, when you were giving birth, there was a sudden flash of lightning and thunder, and the clouds were overturned with a faint purple qi. It is rumored that because the young son of Yanbei Wangfu was born extraordinary, it will be indescribably expensive in the future."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the words.
With the status of Yanbei's palace, the child itself is already extremely expensive. Ren Yaoqi naturally understands what the price is implying, but she is not happy because of it, but frowns.
She doesn't believe this, thunder and lightning are very common at this time of year, but she can't help others believe it if she doesn't believe it. Even if others don't believe it, those who are ambitious have scruples about it.
As a mother, Ren Yaoqi hopes that her children can grow up safely, which is the most important thing. She didn't want her child to be branded as "extraordinary" as soon as she was born, and cause a lot of attention, because it means that the child will encounter far more dangers than others in the process of growing up.
After Ren Yaohua and the others left, Ren Yaoqi asked Xiao Jingxi to be called back and asked him about the rumors.
Seeing Ren Yaoqi's worried eyes, Xiao Jingxi said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of our child and let him grow up safely, and will not let outside rumors endanger him." (To be continued.
