The journey of giving birth to a son

Tsinghua Palace, the gorgeous pavilions are surrounded by pools of water. If it is summer, the ground is covered with duckweeds, green and clear. But now it's almost winter, and the pond is full of dead grass, and it's indescribably cold!
In the main hall, the lights are brightly lit, as bright as day! The bells are ringing and the chimes are ringing, the music is melodious, and the singing and dancing are peaceful.

Cheng Yun only wore a blue Taoist robe, with a bamboo hairpin in his hair, and strode forward with a graceful and dignified appearance.

The courtiers looked sideways!

Sitting on the throne was Cheng Yao, who was wearing a yellow tuanlonggun suit and a Yishan crown on his head.

Cheng Yun walked forward and knelt down, "I am here to see you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"

Cheng Yao had good looks, fair skin, and peach-blossom eyes, but now he was glowing with a cold light, and the look in his eyes was so cold that it chilled one's bones.

Cheng Yao didn't let him get up immediately! We haven’t seen each other for a few years. This younger brother is handsome and strong, but what about him? He already felt like he was going to die. Sometimes he felt tired even after sitting for a while! He already had two sons, but he didn't have one yet. He was full of jealousy, but then he thought that the queen was finally pregnant, maybe a prince, and now he had to clear the way for his son!
This brother and his son are the biggest obstacles!

"Pingshen! Watch your seat!"

Cheng Yun knelt for a long time without moving at all. When he heard the emperor's words, he stood up!

Under the guidance of the eunuch, Cheng Yun sat down on the right side of the emperor. When Cheng Yun raised his head, he saw Wei Dongyang, looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Your Majesty has come all the way to Beijing, and Your Majesty hosted a banquet for you. Your Majesty did not wear the royal uniform and behaved inappropriately in front of the palace. What crime should be committed?" Wei Dongyang said slowly, holding up his wine glass.

What crime should be committed? You asked me to come to Beijing just to punish me for my crime, and it must be more than just this one!
Cheng Yun pursed his lips and said nothing! It has been more than three years since Yi Fan arrived in Lingnan. There is no royal palace, and the family lives in the courtyard of Sanjin. There is no prince's salary, and everyone around him has disappeared. Only Caiping, the maid beside Lu Xiao, has stayed.

The local officials didn't support them either. When they saw the palace sending people to ask for money or things, they cried out! Lu Xiao and Caiping could only support their family by selling embroidery, while he took his two sons to study.

Poor his princess, her eyes were damaged from embroidering day and night to exchange money, and she could no longer see clearly at such a young age!

Thinking of this, Cheng Yun felt uncomfortable in his heart. The reason why he had come to this day was all the work of Duke Wei!

Cheng Yao raised his wine glass and said, "The King of Yue has returned to the capital. It's been a long and dusty journey. Come and have a drink with me!"

Cheng Yun raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp!

Wei Dongyang watched Cheng Yun drink the wine from the glass without changing his expression, neither humble nor arrogant, his eyes were slightly focused!

He looked around, and immediately a dancer came over and sat in Cheng Yun's arms. Cheng Yun pushed her away!
Cheng Yun's move made all the officials in the palace look at each other in shock!

No one dares not to give Duke Wei face!

Wei Dongyang's face felt a little feverish, and Wei Ling also looked at him bitterly. Wei Dongyang stopped his son with a look.

"That's all, the King of Yue doesn't flirt with women, so please go down!" Cheng Yao waved his hand, and the maids filed out of the palace!

Cheng Yao raised his head and drank the wine in the glass. He held the glass and looked at this younger brother who had taken away all the love from his father since he was a child. He must want him to die, but he must be justified and ask Cheng Yun to receive 50,000 yuan. Men and horses conquered the Tatars. "The King of Yue should share my worries!" Cheng Yao immediately issued an edict, and the King of Yue led 50,000 elite troops to the border to conquer the Tartars.

The small palace was dark and damp. After Cheng Yun left, Lu Xiao held her youngest son, leaned against her eldest son, and huddled under the quilt with her maid Caiping. She was panic-stricken and didn't know what to do!
Lu Xiao had anticipated their fate. The couple would inevitably die, but these two children were still young! Her face pressed against her youngest son's forehead, and her nose felt sore.

"Princess, the prince will be fine and will come back safely. Princess, don't cry anymore. Your eyes are not good. Crying like this often will only make your condition worse!" Caiping advised!
"Caiping! You are familiar with this palace, right? You have taken care of our mother and son these past few years. You should find a way to escape! Leave us alone!" Lu Xiao wiped his eyes!
Caiping knelt on the ground, "Princess, Caiping grew up with you since childhood, and later married you into the palace and served you all the way. Caiping also helped you bring up the two young princes. To say something presumptuous, Caiping I regard you as my family, and Caiping will never leave you. Please stop saying such things, princess?"

"But..." Lu Xiao didn't say the next words. She stretched out her hand to help her up. The two of them held their hands tightly and didn't speak for a long time!

"Come, sit down!" Lu Xiao took Caiping's hand and sat down, spreading out the quilt on her body!
"Mother, An'er is hungry!" The youngest son Yi'an opened his eyes and touched his stomach.

"Oh!" Lu Xiao came to his senses, but where is there anything to eat?

Caiping took out a cloth bag from her arms and opened it. Inside was a wheat cake! Caiping handed him the wheat cake, "Eat it quickly!"

Yi'an is four years old this year. He took the wheat cake and started eating it. It was sad to watch.

Along the way, they were treated coldly by the officers and soldiers, and even suffered from hunger and cold. Thinking of this, Lu Xiao felt sad again.

This child was very sensible. He ate a few mouthfuls of wheat cakes. Seeing that his mother, brother, and Aunt Caiping had nothing to eat, he handed over the wheat cakes and said, "Concubine, brother, Aunt Caiping, you guys should eat some too!" "

"My elder brother won't eat, but my younger brother will eat!" Yi Lin is ten years old, his face is tight and he looks very stable!
"You can eat it yourself! Auntie is not hungry!" Caiping persuaded him softly. It was already dark at this time and Cheng Yun had not come back yet. There were no lights in the hall. The darkness seemed to have swallowed them up, which made people feel sad. Heavier!

At this time, the lights came on outside. Caiping walked out and saw two pairs of palace attendants carrying phoenix chariots.

The queen, supported by two palace maids, got off the phoenix chariot and walked over quickly!

"My wife, please see the Queen! The Queen is a thousand years old!" Lu Xiao took her son and Caiping to her knees in a hurry!
Wei Zhen quickly helped the mother and son up, "Get up quickly! The ground is cold!"

The mother and son stood up. The cold wind was blowing outside the hall. Wei Zhen took Lu Xiao's hand and walked into the hall. She looked at Lu Xiao. Lu Xiao was only wearing a thin blue dress. There was no makeup on her face and her hair was high. Bun, no jewelry.

She looked at the empty palace again, feeling sour in her heart. She held Lu Xiao's hands tightly and said, "Princess Yue, you have worked hard these past few years!"

"Thank you very much for your concern, Queen. I hope everything is well with you!"

Wei Zhen bent down and looked at the two children. One was ten years old and the other was four years old. They were both fair and cute. "Time flies so fast! They have grown so big in a blink of an eye!"

"Queen!" Yi Lin saluted with clenched fists. Yi'an also imitated his brother's example, holding his little fists, and Wei Zhen burst into laughter!
Wei Zhen touched Yi'an's face and said to Lu Xiao, "I'm here to visit you and bring you some clothes to keep out the cold!"

As soon as she finished speaking, two teams of palace maids came over, holding food tables and trays in their hands, and put them down gently.

The tray is filled with clothes, quilts, and exquisite pastries and delicacies! The brazier was also brought with fine silver wire charcoal, and soon the hall was filled to the brim. (End of chapter)
