The queen mother didn't know that Yun Chi left Beijing to save Huayan in the wilderness mountain in the north. She always thought that Yun Chi was really ill. If the emperor hadn't stopped her and said that Yun Chi was fine, he told her not to go to the East Palace to disturb Yun Chi. Chi recuperates from illness, and she will be here one day, she has already come to the East Palace.
Early this morning, she only learned from the emperor that Yun Chi was ill. It turned out that he had gone to rescue Huayan, and she was brought back. She was in a daze for a while, and was about to come to the East Palace.
It was the emperor who stopped her and told Huayan to rest more, since she came so early, Huayan must not have woken up.
The queen mother endured it for half a day, and finally couldn't take it anymore, the emperor ordered someone to come to the East Palace to inquire about the news, saying that Huayan had woken up, so he didn't stop her, and let the queen mother come to the East Palace.
The empress dowager's chariot arrived at the gate of the East Palace, and met Princess Anyang, Mrs. Jing Guogong, Mrs. Mei, and others, and the group hurriedly greeted the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother got out of the chariot, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you all to come, so we just happened to be together." After saying that, she ordered Nanny Zhou to help Mrs. Mei up, "Even you have gone out. "
Mrs. Mei has been ill for a while since Mrs. Mei passed away. Everyone in the Mei family is afraid that something will happen to Mrs. Mei. Every now and then I went to Mei's mansion. Mrs. Mei's illness had been lingering for more than twenty days, and she wanted to heal herself. When she recovered, she was worried about Yunchi and Huayan again.
Also today, Yun Chi revealed the news to the outside world in the morning, saying that the Crown Princess has returned safely, and she can't sit still, she must come and see, but the Queen Mother in the palace is quiet, so she can't easily disturb her, Now that I heard that the Empress Dowager is leaving the palace, I hurried to come.
Because Yunchi only said one sentence in the early morning court and nothing else, but the courtiers still exploded, thinking that a few days ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pretended to be sick and went out of Beijing to save people, but Yunchi Not to mention, the courtiers didn't dare to ask directly, so they had to pass the news home one after another, and let the wives at home decide whether to go to the East Palace to have a look
The wives of the important ministers in the court are not simple, they are masters who move when they hear the wind. They stare at the movements of the Queen Mother in the palace, and also the movements of Jingguo Duke's Mansion, Anyang Prince's Mansion and Mei Mansion. They were also dispatched.
As a result, a large group of people gathered outside the gate of the East Palace today, and it was extremely lively.
"My grandson's daughter-in-law must have suffered a lot outside. Now that she is back, how can I just sit back and take a look." Mrs. Mei said with a smile, "I am an old bone, if I don't move , I’m really afraid that lying on the bed and not getting up will only cause my children and grandchildren to worry, so it’s better to walk around more.”
"That's the reason." The queen mother smiled and reached out to hold Mrs. Mei's hand. The two were about the same age, one was a grandson's wife and the other was a grandson's wife. are close.
Princess Anyang and Mrs. Jing Guogong looked at each other, followed behind the Queen Mother and Mrs. Mei with a smile, and the group entered the gate of the East Palace in a hurry.
Steward Fu led most of the people in the East Palace to welcome the Empress Dowager, and knelt down on the floor.
The queen mother waved her hand, "Don't kneel, the princess is taking a nap." She thought, if she was taking a nap, she would wait to see her first.
Butler Fu stood up, bent over and said with a smile, "The princess just fell asleep, and when she heard that the queen mother, the old lady, the princess, and the lady of the country were all here, she got up. Persuade me, now I'm waiting in Dongyuan."
"Oh, I still interrupted her rest." The queen mother regretted a little, "I knew I would bear it, so I didn't rush to come at noon."
"If you can hold it back, it's not too late, can't you hold it back?" Mrs. Mei said with a smile, "Let's just sit and go."
The Queen Mother nodded.
Steward Fu led the way, and the group walked to Phoenix East Garden.
Although Mother Fang persuaded Huayan not to bother going out to greet her, Huayan still felt that she couldn't be trusted. The people who came were all women, and anyone who hadn't conceived a child couldn't be the most delicate, and she couldn't even go out to pick them up.
So, she dressed properly and went out of the room without going far, accompanied by Nanny Fang to greet people at the gate of Phoenix East Garden.
In the distance, Haohao Tangtang and a group of people startled Huayan too.
Mother Fang said in a low voice, "Since you disappeared, His Highness the Crown Prince has not looked so good all day. Whether the courtiers met His Highness the Crown Prince in court or in private, they dared not even show their breath and spoke very cautiously. During this period of time, Not only our East Palace is dull and suffocating, but the capital is also quiet and dull like a cloud, and we all look forward to your return soon. As soon as you come back, His Royal Highness will be cloudy, not only the people in the East Palace are happy, but everyone in the court and the public are also happy."
Hua Yan laughed out loud, "Is that so, it's really embarrassing for the courtiers."
While the two were talking, a group of people came forward, Huayan saw the Queen Mother, Mrs. Mei, Princess Anyang, Mrs. Jing Guogong and others clearly, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet the Queen Mother.
Before she bent down, the Queen Mother grabbed her excitedly, looked at her swollen belly, and she shed tears from her old eyes, "Okay, okay, it's good to be back, as long as the mother and child are safe, the Ai family is really worried."
The queen mother tightly held Huayan's hand, talking in a rambling manner.
Mrs. Mei also shed tears, Princess Anyang blushed, and it was Mrs. Jingguo who cried the most. She couldn't grab the Queen Mother's job, couldn't hold Huayan's hand, and kept wiping her face with a handkerchief. Tears, the veil was soaked in the blink of an eye.
Huayan's eyes were also red, crying and laughing, for a while, the wives from all the prefectures wiped their eyes with handkerchiefs, whether they were sincere or not, wishing everyone peace and happiness.
Mother Fang was afraid that the old and the young would break her body from crying, so she hurried out to smooth things over, and asked the queen mother not to cry, otherwise the princess would cry, and the little highness would cry in her belly too.
When it came to the child in Huayan's stomach, the queen mother stopped crying immediately. It was more effective than anything else. Not only did she not cry, but she also stared at her stomach happily, and asked Huayan, "Can it move?"
"Yes, you kicked me just now." Hua Yan smiled and nodded.
The Queen Mother let out an "ouch" and asked again, "Does he have the strength?"
"Very strong." Huayan nodded.
"It must be a boy, and the boy has great strength." The queen mother said with a smile, she stopped talking, fearing that Huayan would not give birth to a boy, she would feel frustrated because of his words, so she immediately changed her words, "Girls are also strong, no matter what it is , Ai family likes it." At the end, he added, "The emperor likes it too."
Huayan never thought the queen mother was so cute, she was really thinking of ways to make love for her, she said with a smile, "I just look forward to being a boy like His Royal Highness, I want to see what he looked like when he was a child, if he was a little girl"
The queen mother made a straight face, "You are a mother, so you can't be so partial. What's wrong with the little girl? The little girl is a warm little padded jacket. You say that, how sad the little girl is. If it is a little girl, she will be as sad as you are." It will hurt even more."
Actually, Huayan didn't intend to say something unpleasant, but just wanted to say that if a little girl was like her, Yunchi would have a headache, but since the queen mother said so, she stopped what she wanted to say, and said softly with a smile, " The emperor's grandmother taught me that I won't talk about it in the future, it's a little girl, and I love her just the same."
"It's more or less the same." The queen mother was satisfied, and she smiled so much that her eyebrows could not be seen but her eyes could not be seen.
Mrs. Mei also laughed, and Mrs. Jing Guogong laughed through her tears, and the group entered Phoenix East Garden talking and laughing.
Although it is said that there are many places where women gather together, right and wrong really do not exist in the East Palace or in front of Huayan. Among the people who came today, the Empress Dowager, Mrs. Mei, Princess Anyang, Mrs. Jing Guo, Mrs. Mei, the Eldest Young Mistress, and the Seventh Princess are all people close to her who treat her well. As a human being, naturally no one asked to mention what unhappy things happened to her these days of disappearance.
Therefore, everyone was very harmonious, chatting happily around the child in her belly.
Especially the seventh princess, who couldn't get in the conversation earlier, and after the queen mother's excitement eased, she came forward and asked Huayan's little nephew in her stomach if she was good, asked her what she ate and drank every day, and said things about her. I made several small clothes for my little nephew during the boring days in the palace, all of which were made of soft muslin, which must be comfortable for a child to wear. She said that because of this, female celebrities have grown into Yunyun.
Huayan heard it was funny, pinched the seventh princess's face, thinking that people have to grow up, and the seventh princess seems to have grown up too. No one expected that Mei Shuyu and Zhao Qingxi would become a couple. I don't know if her elder brother Lu Zhiling and the Seventh Princess would still have a chance.
The group did not dare to sit for too long, and after an hour, the Queen Mother led the way out of the Phoenix East Garden.
Hua Yan sent the Empress Dowager and the others out of the room, the Empress Dowager waved her hand, "Go and rest, the Emperor also wants to see you, and he will come over tomorrow, just like the Ai family, he was overjoyed to hear that you came back."
"Tomorrow I will go to the palace to see my father." Hua Yan said with a smile.
The queen mother shook her head, and said firmly, "You are so good to rest, let him do it by himself, Aijia can move, so can he."
Hua Yan could only stop with a smile, and sent the Queen Mother and everyone away.
