Stepmother Shaoguang

Chapter 28
When I wake up, I gasp for breath, wanting to suck all the air in the room into my lungs.

He Shaoguang was ill, which was embarrassing to say, he hadn't been sick for more than a year, but this time he fell ill because of a dream.

The doctor came to see her, put his pulse-diagnosing hand on her hot wrist, and said it was a nightmare.

It's just a nightmare, and I have a high fever.

Zhijun and Nijun were so distressed that they took turns taking care of her non-stop, blaming themselves for not staying to serve last night.

Both of them had teary eyes, and He Shaoguang really didn't have the energy to comfort them, so he could only smile weakly at them.

When Mrs. Lu heard that He Shaoguang was ill, she sent Zhou's mother to visit and sent a bunch of supplements, including wild ginseng, bird's nest, and some other medicinal materials.

Apart from his lack of energy and his groggy fever, the yard was much quieter, with no one else to disturb him.

Lu Mingyan brought Lu Mingzhen to visit once, and the little girl Mingzhen stood by the bed, her eyes full of worry.

"When will mother get better?" After exiting the room, Lu Mingzhen shook Lu Mingyan's arm, he was very worried about He Shaoguang.

Because she has never met her mother, when He Shaoguang appeared in her life, she really regarded He Shaoguang as her mother.

Of course, there was also a reason that He Shaoguang was sincerely kind to them.Although Jiang Ningyu didn't pay as much attention to Lu Mingyan as he did back then, in the hearts of the two children who lacked maternal love, He Shaoguang had actually done enough.

She was technically only their stepmother after all.In today's world, there are many families who marry Xu Xian, but they don't care about their original children, and let their stepmother raise them.

But even if it wasn't for He Shaoguang, Mrs. Lu and Lu Xiaowen would not have watched this happen.All they met were responsible elders, luckily.

Lu Mingyan was actually surprised that his younger sister could accept the stepmother's appearance so quickly.To this day, he still remembers the gentle, beautiful, and indifferent mother when facing other people.

Mother is fine, and He Shaoguang is also fine.

But that's because they are good.Lu Mingyan's little heart was very entangled.He wants to get close to his stepmother like a younger sister, but he will immediately remember that his mother died of hemorrhage and dystocia because of giving birth to his younger sister.

Although at the age of seven, he may not quite understand the embarrassment of He Shaoguang's identity, but he already has a vague idea.

Aunt Jiang told him very early on that as long as he got close to He Shaoguang, he would betray the gentle mother in his memory.

He Shaoguang would not know how rich their inner activities are.She just lay on the hospital bed all day.

Illness comes like a mountain down, sickness goes like a thread.

Just laying down like this for a few days, and drinking the clear soup with little water in the stomach, the disease will definitely get better.

He Shaoguang was young, his body had always been in good health, and he quickly recovered his former spirit.

It's just that the two personal maids are still blaming themselves for not taking care of their own girls.So, even if she recovered from her illness, she was not allowed to eat and drink anymore.Instead, he stared at her and only drank some vegetable porridge, shredded pork porridge, etc. every day.

He Shaoguang's face was almost turning green.

This is in the capital, another place where Lu Xiaowen has traveled along the way, and finally arrived outside the pass, in the territory of Yanzhou.

This is not like the small bridges and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River, with fertile soil and fertile fields.It's not like the feet of the emperor in the capital, the roots of the imperial city, and the three official hats that can be hit by spitting out a melon seed shell.

There is only yellow sand all over the sky, deserted land, and withered crops that can't survive.There are also rough and simple people.

When Lu Xiaowen first arrived here, he was not used to the climate here, and had nosebleeds several times.Although there is a lot of wind and sand and a lot of loess here, it is cold and dry all year round. In July, we also wear quilted underwear.

The original guard army of Yanzhou had about [-] troops. The general who was originally stationed here was the younger brother of the sage, who was appointed King of Yan.

The Holy Majesty has seven brothers in total, except for the one who is under house arrest in the palace wall, only this one is still alive.

King Yan was originally born with the same mother as the Holy One, so he is different from the other brothers after all.After the sage ascended the throne, out of concern for the empress dowager's feelings, King Yan's life will not be sad.

When Lu Xiaowen and the eldest prince arrived in Yanzhou, King Yan led a group of city officers and soldiers to meet him.And hosted a banquet in his own palace to entertain them, and clean up the dust for them.

The sound of silk and bamboo orchestras is not much better than that of the Palace Orchestra.It seems that King Yan lived a fairy-like life in this borderland.Not to mention that the Yanwang Mansion he built privately has far exceeded the rules and regulations that a prince should have.

King Yan sat on the main seat, far away.The first place below is the position of the First Prince, and the next one is Lu Xiaowen.On the opposite side sat several confidantes of King Yan.

One is Yi Zongyu, who is a military adviser.

One named Zhang Jiecheng was a small leader who was in charge of about 500 soldiers.

Although there are only 500 people in the area, these 500 people are all close friends of King Yan.

There are still a few people who haven't been introduced, and I think they are unimportant people.

"Although the king of Yan and the saint have the same mother, they look very different. The saint is concerned about government affairs and has a thin body, but this king of Yan has a fat head and big ears, with a red face." Beside Lu Xiaowen, a man who had seen the saint by chance The lieutenant general was whispering to others.

"Come on, let's dance and dance." King Yan yelled, and someone removed the obstacles in the middle of the stage, and brought up a nasturtium that could stand on people.

Luxurious.

Such a luxurious thing was actually used by dancers to step on their feet.

The dancers in gauze dresses with water sleeves danced lightly, holding a dancer who was more gorgeously dressed and had a softer waist, onto the golden lotus, and danced on the lotus.

"The dancing girl on the lotus is so beautiful!" It was the deputy general who was gossiping again.

Indeed, the dancer girl in the middle has eyes full of autumn water, her body is light, and the beaded curtain can't hide her stunning radiance.

Everyone is guessing whether she is a concubine of King Yan.

The eldest prince watched Lian Shangwu seriously with a smile.

On the other hand, Lu Xiaowen lowered his face. The king of Yan is here to drink the blood of the common people. The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. He is happier than anyone else!

That's it, every year when I go to the palace, I still cry poor.

After the banquet was over, King Yan arranged for the eldest prince to stay in Qizhu Garden, and Lu Xiaowen was in Mingqi Pavilion.The two courtyards were very close to each other, the eldest prince drank a lot of wine, his face was flushed, and he could still walk steadily, so he came to take a walk with Lu Xiaowen during the night.

After tossing all the way, they also got to know each other a lot.

He didn't go back until Haishi, and Lu Xiaowen also drank a lot, and he couldn't tell the difference between east and west, north and south when walking.

I slept through the night with a dizzy head, and was woken up early the next morning by a scream from the yard next door.

I don't know what happened, but when the prince was involved, Lu Xiaowen didn't care about the pain in his head, changed his clothes in a hurry and came to the next door, only to find out that the prince helped him back to Zhuzhuyuan last night!
The First Prince rested in the Mingqi Pavilion.

Lu Xiaowen saw that the dancing girl who was only wearing her underwear, which was obviously put on indiscriminately, was lying on the bed of the eldest prince, so why didn't she understand?
