Li Huang

My nerves were stretched to the extreme at this time, and there was a cold pain coming from the depths of my body, like a thorn on my back, which made me restless. I just feel that my body is sweaty, not because of nervousness or fear. The warm wind on my body makes me feel cold. I tried my best to control the discomfort on my body and smiled hard at Shen Xiyao.

"The emperor," I was looking for a suitable response. A court lady brought a plate of shrimp cakes, the peculiar smell of seafood rushed over my face, my stomach was rolling, uncontrollable vomiting came up, I He hurried to the tree and vomited all the food he had used before, but he couldn't help but retching again and again.

Shen Xiyao came over with me almost immediately, stroking my back again and again, eyes full of worry and distress. The maids quickly fetched the water towels, and the two brothers stood by and looked at me with concern.

I retched for a while, until there was nothing left in my stomach to feel more relaxed, but I felt weak in my legs. After receiving the water from the palace maid, he rinsed his mouth and drank a cup of tea, which relieved his energy.

"What's that?" Shen Xiyao saw that I was better, and pointed to the plate of shrimp cakes.

The palace lady was so scared that she lay on the ground and tremblingly said: "Yes? It's Jinyu Lotus Shrimp Cake."

"Vir, how do you feel?" Shen Xiyao took my hand and asked, "Where is it uncomfortable?"

I calmed my mind and asked the court lady to stand up and say: "I think it's not the problem of the cake, it's the concubine." I met Shen Xiyao's gaze, and smiled gently: "I'm afraid the concubine is pregnant."

Shen Xiyao's eyes changed from worry to surprise. He looked at me almost incredulously, even his tone of voice was excited.

"What you said is true?"

"The concubine is just a guess." I glanced at the two elder brothers and said: "It is still necessary for the imperial doctor to confirm the diagnosis."

Shen Xiyao laughed loudly, his hands were firmly clasped with my fingers, and his eyes were full of joy. For some reason, although I smiled on my face, I couldn't feel happy in my heart.

"Congratulations, congratulations to the emperor." The eldest brother and the third brother were full of joy. This news is very important to the glory of the Ling family and my emperor.

"Niangniang's body is important, so let's go back to the palace to recuperate. The ministers and so on retired first." The older brother said gently.

I looked at Shen Xiyao, and he nodded and said to the two elder brothers: "When Wei Er feels comfortable, I will host a banquet for both of you."

The eldest brother and the third brother hurriedly thanked me for resigning, and Shen Xiyao heard a step to take me back to Kunning Palace, and helped me to lie on the bed, carefully covering me with a quilt, and then sat on the bedside, waiting for the imperial doctor to see the pulse.

The imperial doctor was waiting in the side hall. I closed my eyes. Although I was 80% sure, I still became nervous for some reason.

Shen Xiyao stared closely at the face of the imperial doctor, and I also looked quietly across the golden gauze and phoenix curtain. This is Wan Yuyi, the national master of the Department of Gynecology in Taiyuan Hospital. He frowned slightly and looked cautious, but he turned into a smile for a moment, and knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, she is two months pregnant. Up."

My heart lifted in my throat settled back into my chest, and I let out a long sigh of relief. Looking at Shen Xiyao again, the expression on his face changed from worrying and hopeful to excitement and great joy. The smile in his eyes almost overflowed with honey, and the eyes looking at me almost drowned people. I also looked back at him with a smile, although my heart was not as happy as I thought. Maybe it was I had expected it, or the pain in the past scared me, or the secret worry about the future in my heart, all made my smile fall short of my eyes.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the empress." A group of people in the sleeping hall bowed down and bowed.

Shen Xiyao Longyan Dayue, he took my hand and said: "Reward, this is a great event, and the palace will be rewarded!"

My eyes dropped slightly and I looked at the hands I shook with him. For some reason, my palms were slightly sweaty.

"However," Wan Yu-Doctor carefully glanced at Shen Xiyao, and stopped talking.

"But what?" Shen Xiyao's expression immediately became tense.

"However, the empress body is extremely weak. It may be due to the early miscarriage. Therefore, she must stay in bed for the first few months, and it is not suitable to be exhausted and troublesome." Wan Yu said: "The minister will check the pulse for the empress every day, but all the diet during pregnancy. Be careful with utensils."

Shen Xiyao nodded, and his voice became serious, "The lives of everyone in the Taiyuan Hospital and Kunning Palace are tied to this child. Do you understand what I mean?"

The people underneath repeatedly kowtowed their heads and responded in unison: "Minions remember."

"The emperor," I pulled his sleeve gently, worrying in my eyes: "This child, will come to us, right. It won't be like, won't it be like it was?" My voice choked up. There are tears dripping from the corners of the eyes.

Back then, back then? ? Who can tell me about that year? That is the biggest scar in my heart. Nothing can make it heal or relieve me.

Shen Xiyao's eyes were full of pity and grief. He clenched my hand firmly and nodded as promised: "Vir, that one is enough, I won't let you lose your child again."

I was startled, the tears in my eyes could no longer hold back, Shen Xiyao would not know that in the midst of dying, another child also left me. Hopefully, it is the last one.

"Don't cry your mother, be careful of your fetal gas." Doctor Wan Yu became nervous: "The mood wave of a pregnant person has an impact on the fetus, so please be in a good mood.

Shen Xiyao wiped away tears for me, with a solemn tone: "Weir, from now on, no one can hurt you."

I smiled hard, only feeling very tired, and said: "The emperor, the concubine wants to sleep for a while."

"I am here to accompany you," Shen Xiyao said softly as water: "So you won't be afraid."

The imperial doctors retreated to the side hall to discuss the remedy for an fetus. I was about to close my eyes and sat up, looking at Shen Xiyao and said: "The emperor, the concubine should not work during pregnancy. This harem matters must be taken care of by someone. The concubine thought. , And the concubine are pregnant, and the concubine Li is convicted, and only Concubine Liu is the only concubine in high position.

Shen Xiyao's hand gently stroked my cheek: "I said don't bother, you still do this." He smiled: "Then let Concubine Liu take care of the harem for the time being."

I pressed a smile: "The concubine thinks the same way. Concubine Liu enters the palace and she is the most relieved to give it to her. But," I said with some worry: "It's just that Concubine Liu has to take care of Linglong, for fear of her being too much. Work hard."

Shen Xiyao said, "That's true. Linglong is still young, so I can't bear to send her to Zhongcui Palace. Concubine Liu is not healthy." He hesitated.

According to the Daxi ancestor system, when the prince and princess were three years old, they had to go to the Zhongcui Palace to be raised by an elder mother. For one thing, she was afraid that she would be too spoiled by her biological mother and it would be difficult to become grandiose in the future. Secondly, I was afraid that the concubine would compete with the prince and princess. Thirdly, in order to prevent the mother and child from being too close to the prince, the relatives will have the power in the future.

However, there was a precedent for the queen to raise the prince personally, so this ancestral system was put there, used when needed, and the emperor had the final say. In order to be able to raise the child in my womb myself in the future, I naturally don't want him to set this precedent with Linglong.

I pondered for a moment and said: "If Concubine Liu is willing, why not put Linglong in the care of other concubines temporarily, and then take her back after the concubines give birth?"

Shen Xiyao nodded.

I smiled amicably, "I'm afraid that Concubine Liu will not bear it. The emperor has to persuade her." And worried: "If it weren't for the many things in the harem, the concubines were afraid that Concubine Liu would not be able to take care of them, and they would not want their mother and daughter Separated temporarily."

Shen Xiyao smiled faintly: "Don't worry about it. What's the problem? I can just make an order." He paused and said, "It's just that Concubine Liu has been born and raised in the palace. I don't know who is suitable for Linglong."

I smiled and said, "It's not important. There are mothers on the left and right, as long as they are kind, gentle, careful, and patient."

Shen Xiyao's eyes lit up: "That said, Yi Zhaorong is a good candidate."

Seeing that the goal was achieved, I replied: "The concubine is not familiar with the new favorite of the emperor, but in the past, I have heard of Yi Zhaorong's kindness and gentleness in other places. She is indeed the best candidate with Linglong."

Shen Xiyao grabbed my shoulders: "It's because I'm not good, let you stay in that kind of place for so long. But all this has passed, and you will always be by my side in the future."

I leaned my head on his shoulder. The emperor’s uniforms had dense and dense auspicious and ruyi patterns on his shoulders, and the gold thread was stiff, which caused my cheeks to ache slightly, but across such thick patterns, I couldn’t feel the temperature on his body. . But after a long time, I got used to this feeling and gradually fell asleep.

It's three shots after waking up. Huiju brought hot water in, and saw that I woke up and smiled and said, "Is your mother going to sleep for a while?"

I stretched my waist, I only felt that my body was brisk, and people also became refreshed.

"No need, get up." I said to get out of bed.

Huiju was taken aback, and hurriedly came up to stop me: "My lady forgot, Wan Yu said that she will stay in bed for three months."

I smiled bitterly, but I really forgot. Looking at Huiju's serious expression again, I thought that I was really uncomfortable recently, and I didn't dare to take risks, so I lay back obediently.

Huiju twisted the hot towel and said: "The emperor has ordered that the harem concubine still needs to greet the empress every day, but the empress does not need to meet."

I soaked my hands in the hot water and frowned, "Is this bad?"

Hui Ju said: "The emperor said that the empress must not agree, but this is the honor that the empress should have."

I sighed lightly, and left Shen Xiyao. Self-favored, full of grudges, and now being pregnant makes the harem even more jealous. And this honor will make those "wishful people" have some fear.

After I finished washing and changing clothes, Huiju ordered the little maid to deliver breakfast. There was no one in the sleeping hall, and she whispered: "Manny, Empress Li, are you going to?"

I leaned on the Daying pillow without looking at her, and said casually: "Her father will not ask for punishment for a while. You will find a chance to tell her so that she can support herself."

"Meng Han committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy, won't the emperor punish it?" Huiju was surprised.

I shook my head, "The emperor will deal with him, but he won't be executed for the time being."

Huiju looked at me for unknown reasons.

I smiled faintly: "You only told Li Fei that I am pregnant and can't see her anymore."

Hui Ju showed the color of enlightenment, "The mother is pregnant, she should not have blood, so Meng Hanzhi's life can be kept a little longer. These days, they will definitely look for evidence that they are framed." Hui Ju looked at me. : "Isn't the empress afraid?"

I "haha" laughed: "I don't think he can beat the sky."

Huiju went to Fandy the next day. Li Fei knew that I was pregnant and her fetus was unstable and knew that her father's life was temporarily safe. She was very grateful now. After that, Huiju had no intention to say that if it weren't for Li Fei's death, it would not be the turn of Liu Fei to temporarily take over the harem. After hearing this, Li Fei was indignant. She had been afflicted with Concubine Liu for a long time, and naturally she did not want to see the boundless beauty of her, but she begged to survive, and was afraid that Concubine Liu would embarrass her, and she sorrowed and mourned.

At that time, Huiju filled me with medicinal tea and served **** plums, and said with emotion: "The slave and maid picked a bunch of crown lilies and sent them to Li Fei. Sure enough, Li Fei was so embarrassed when she saw her, she said back then. The connection with the emperor is because of the crown lily."

Hui Ju sighed and said: "When it comes to the emperor's pet, Li Fei and Liu Fei are not the same. She has a strong personality and treats the palace people very harshly. Everyone is afraid of her. Several times, she returned the color to Liu Fei. Now it ends up like this."

I picked up a plum to eat, and paused after hearing what she said: "She was born as the daughter of the Meng family. She has enjoyed the honor and dignity brought by the family, and she will also be able to withstand disasters and sorrows." "Made with the emperor" tightened slightly.
