blue bird song

Chapter 101 The First Born (4)
On this day, the Empress Dowager got up very early, groomed and dressed carefully, had a quick breakfast, changed into Yanju ordinary clothes and sat in the main hall, waiting eagerly.Great-grandson, my first great-grandson, show my great-grandmother!

Mother Qiao and the others saw it and sighed greatly.How much the empress dowager looks forward to her great-grandson, also, at this age, isn't it just a child and grandchild?If she doesn't look forward to a great-grandson, what can she look forward to.

"You have to wait a little longer." Mother Qiao ordered someone to visit Prince Jin's mansion, and came in with a smile and said, "At this moment, Princess Jin is taking a bath. Didn't she hold it for a month? When it gets into the water, it won’t come out, it’s playing tricks.”

The Empress Dowager laughed and scolded, "This silly boy! Don't you know how anxious Grandma is? Hurry up, order someone to tell her, let her hurry up, don't delay. If you are late, give her two crutches first!"

"More than that." The Queen Mother just entered the door at this time, smiling all over her face, "Tell her, if you come late, I still have two crutches here! If you don't want to be beaten, come here early to serve you."

Mother Qiao smiled and agreed, and sent a message.

The Empress Dowager sat with the Empress Dowager, and the two began to imagine what Brother Cong looked like.It's been a month, and finally they can meet the real person, and both of them are in a happy mood.

In Prince Jin's mansion, Nanny Zhong is orderly directing the preparation of chariots and horses and arranging attendants.Jin Wang stood in front of the bed and talked to Xiao Congcong, "Your mother will not come out after being in the water, what should I do?" Wang, don't move.

"My dear son, do you know how to judge people?" King Jin was overjoyed.In the past, when Daddy talked to you, you seemed to ignore it, but now you will stare at Daddy, which is great.Sure enough, the full moon is different.

Grandma Zhong arranged everything, and she was a little anxious, "The princess hasn't come out yet?"Don't take it easy, you will be beaten back when you enter the palace.

In the bathroom, Qing Que was lying comfortably on a water bed, with a maid standing on each side, gently scraping off the dirt on her body with a blunt knife.After scraping it off, he will pick up the ladle on one side, scoop out warm water from the water tank and pour it on the blue bird.The body gradually became refreshed, and the warm water was continuously poured on the body, it was so comfortable, Qing Que closed his eyes enjoying it.

After the first inch of skin was clean from head to toe, the blue bird finally came out.

"I want to fly briskly!" Qingque said triumphantly.Her face is radiant, her cheeks are bright red, and her clear apricot eyes are shining with joy, she is really in high spirits, and she wants to soar into the sky.

Nanny Zhong was anxious to wait, but now she also finds it funny, how much dust can you have on your body, after taking a bath, you want to fly briskly?Push her to sit in front of the dressing table, and instruct the maid to comb her hair in a bun, put on her regular clothes, and prepare to enter the palace.

"Are you willing to come out?" Jin Wang Shi Shiran walked in front of her and smiled slightly, "Grandmother was in a hurry, and said that if you go late, I will give you two crutches first. Princess, you take a bath, It doesn’t seem like a big deal.”

"You don't understand that, do you?" Qing Que raised her eyebrows, boasting brazenly, "All the old people like me, and they like me as soon as they meet! Grandma, when the old man didn't see me, she hated me and wanted to hit me. Wait until When you see me, you can only love and kiss me."

At this time, Qingque had finished dressing up, she glanced at the person in the mirror, and sighed narcissistically, "I feel sorry for you." The woman in the mirror has bright eyes and bright teeth, and a sweet smile, beautiful, beautiful.

Grandma Zhong pursed her lips and smiled, King Jin helped her up, "Princess Wang, let's leave early, I'm afraid we will be beaten if we are late."

Qingque smiled sweetly, picked up Xiao Congcong, and walked briskly out the door.

"Sun, long time no see." After going out, Qing Que raised her head in emotion.Nanny Zhong was anxious, and supported her to go forward, "Princess, it's getting late, so it's hard to stop." Qing Que giggled, holding Xiao Congcong in one hand, and King Jin in the other, without touching the ground He galloped forward with a graceful and calm posture.After a while, the three of them got into the car together and left.

After Nanny Zhong came after her, the carriage had disappeared at the end of the street.

Grandma Zhong was angry and laughed at the same time.

When they arrived at Ningshou Palace, King Jin and Qing Que went in with their children in their arms, only to see the Empress Dowager, Queen Dowager Wang, Concubine Shao, Empress Zhang and others all in one place.The two asked each other well one by one, but the Empress Dowager didn't care about them, she directly took Xiao Congcong over, and gave her a hard look.The Empress Dowager's eyes were hot, and she just waited for the Empress Dowager to see enough, and she took it.Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, the Empress Dowager did not see enough.

"This is a little A Yuan." The Empress Dowager looked at Xiao Congcong's pear-sized face, her heart melted, "It's exactly the same as his father when he was a child! Look, this small face, this nose, this mouth, nothing. Nothing like it!"

Although Concubine Shao said she has seen Xiao Congcong, but after half a month passed, she missed her even more.When the empress dowager reluctantly gave the child to the queen dowager, and the queen dowager reluctantly gave it to her again, she hugged Xiao Congcong with a dazzled smile, and never let go.

The Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother cheerfully asked about Qing Que's childbirth and confinement, and how to put two crutches on her head.

"I'm not wrong, am I?" Qingque glanced at King Jin proudly.

"Princess is amazing!" King Jin gave her an encouraging look in return.

Empress Zhang was left out in the cold, feeling very sour in her heart.In terms of national law, she is the queen, and Qi Qingque is just the concubine of Jin; in terms of family law, she is the elder sister-in-law, and Qi Qingque is just the younger sister-in-law.But now just because she gave birth to a son, the grandma and her mother-in-law are so eccentric and praise her to the sky.

son, son.Empress Zhang chewed these two words slowly, I have everything, everything is going well, only my son is missing.

Empress Zhang cast her eyes on Xiao Congcong in Concubine Shao's arms.This child, she finds it dazzling at first glance, she really doesn't want to look at him.However, if he is kept in the palace, Wuchen will cast spells to take away his vitality and dragon energy, and he will die in the palace without a sound or a trace of scar, and he will become pregnant and give birth to the emperor. The eldest son, the crown prince.

This temptation is really too great.Dust-free, dust-free, don't let me down.

Empress Zhang regained her energy, laughed and talked about Brother Cong with the Empress Dowager and Queen Mother Wang, "He looks smart at first glance, no wonder his name is Brother Cong."

Taoist Master Wuchen is praying for the emperor and empress in the palace. His Taoism is profound, and the emperor intends to invite him to set up a funeral ceremony in Ningshou Palace to pray for the empress dowager.On this day, Wu Chen personally asked the Empress Dowager to see how to set up the sacrificial offering place.

When Wu Chen begged to see the Empress Dowager, the three members of King Jin's family were there.Wuchen paid homage to the Empress Dowager, asked for instructions on the funeral, and sighed: "The prince of Jin is a blessed child. If he can be raised in Kunning Palace for several months, the benefits will be innumerable. If His Royal Highness can get involved in this The blessing of the child, good news will come soon."

He said this in front of King Jin and Princess Jin, what he meant was self-evident.You are younger brothers and ministers. Now the emperor and empress are worried about having no children in the palace. If your sons are raised in the palace, the problems of the emperor and empress will be solved easily.As a younger brother, as a courtier, I don't need to teach you what to do.

Wu Chen said this because he was waiting for King Jin and Princess Jin to ask to send the newly born baby into the palace.

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, "Does it really have this effect?" Wu Chen shook his head and said respectfully: "The eldest son of His Royal Highness Prince Jin is really blessed and has some effect."

The Queen Mother was silent, and Concubine Shao's hands holding Xiao Congcong shook, feeling fearful.Empress Zhang cast her inquiring eyes on King Jin and Princess Jin, are you willing?You are just reluctant, dare to speak out?Your Majesty is your brother and the emperor.He is the king and you are the minister.

Jin Wang Wenya said: "This is the honor of the dog. Today the dog is full moon, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law agreed that they will visit the house, so as not to disappoint the two old people. I will personally send the dog into the palace tomorrow, how about it?"

Wuchen slapped his head again, his tone was still humble, "This is an immeasurable merit."

A stone fell to the ground in Queen Zhang's heart.One day later, one day, what's the matter.When the child entered the palace, she couldn't cast spells... Empress Zhang seemed to see this delicate and hateful child return to the west, and her belly gradually swelled, and she was happily pregnant with the crown prince.

Things seem to have settled down.

That night, the fire in Ningshou Palace started from the main hall and gradually spread to many places, almost reaching the empress dowager's bedroom.Although the Empress Dowager was safe and sound, she was greatly frightened.

"How could the fire start from the main hall of Ningshou Palace?" The Empress Dowager was furious, "Who angered the heavens? Who brought this disaster?!"

The Empress Dowager is in awe of God's will.A sudden fire would come to the main hall of Ningshou Palace. This is the expression of anger and condemnation of Ningshou Palace.Ningshou Palace has always been kind and peaceful, and has never done anything harmful to nature, why is this?
The emperor was shocked when he heard the news, and brought people over in a hurry. He saw that Ningshou Palace was in a mess.Although the Empress Dowager was not injured, she was greatly frightened and her complexion was extremely haggard.The empress dowager is the emperor's own grandmother, the person who cared for him and raised him since he was a child. How can the emperor not feel sad when he sees this scene?The emperor prostrated himself on the ground, pleading guilty with tears, "Grandson is incompetent and should die, he frightened grandma." Empress Zhang also came and knelt down with the emperor.The Empress Dowager looked at them wearily, and said lightly: "You don't have to kneel down, get up. I lost my morality, and the heavens sent disasters, so I deserve this catastrophe."

This fire fell from the sky.The maids watching the night saw clearly that a pillar of fire fell from the sky and landed on the roof of the main hall. After a short while, the main hall became a sea of ​​flames, and the flames rose.

When the empress dowager said this, the emperor and empress Zhang didn't dare to get up.The empress dowager lost her virtue?How can it be.The emperor was so choked up that he couldn't speak, Empress Zhang laughed and said, "Grandmother, there are many reasons for disasters from heaven, maybe it's just bad feng shui. Whether it's fasting in the palace or offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, it will always be in harmony with heaven. , you don't have to worry too much about it."

The empress dowager's back was sinking like water, and she didn't speak.The emperor walked a few steps to the Empress Dowager, hugged the Empress Dowager's leg and cried, "Grandmother, it's all my grandson's fault, and my grandson is going to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices..." The Empress Dowager sighed when she saw his sincerity. With a sigh, he stretched out his hand and pulled him up.After the emperor stood up, his eyes were red and he kept wiping away tears.

After receiving the letter, the Queen Mother and a group of concubines hurried over to express their troubles to the Empress Dowager.The Empress Dowager was surrounded by more than a dozen middle-aged concubines who were well dressed, and she suddenly felt very sad.In this harem, apart from Empress Zhang, I can't even see Zhang's young and energetic face.The Empress Dowager felt restless for a while, and ordered the Empress Dowager and the concubines to go back to the palace respectively. The Empress Dowager and others did not dare to disobey, and Wei Wei withdrew.

Not long after the palace gate opened and the sky was still dark, King Jin came regardless of the deeper dew. "Brother, Xiao Congcong might have caught a cold from the wind yesterday, how about bringing him in two days later?" King Jin said to the emperor with apologetic expression after condolences to the Empress Dowager.

The emperor was a little confused, "Why bring Xiao Congcong in?"

Queen Zhang's heart skipped a beat, what's the matter?A fire fell from the sky in the Ningshou Palace, and the prince of the Jin Dynasty caught a cold!After discussing it or something, we all gathered in one place and had an accident.According to the original idea, at this time, the empress who is the mother of the world should be sitting in the Kunning Palace with great ambitions, waiting for the Jin Wang couple to send the baby to the door voluntarily and with smiles on their faces.How...how could they face this mess in Ningshou Palace?

"When Taoist Priest Wuchen came to set up a funeral ceremony yesterday, he saw Prince Jin's son." Empress Zhang bit the bullet and said, "Daoist Priest Wuchen has boundless mana, and he can tell at a glance that Prince Jin's blessings are profound. The benefits of being raised in Kunning Palace are innumerable. Jin Wang and his wife are loyal and immediately agreed to offer their son to the palace."

When the emperor heard this, his heart ached. "Offering a son into the palace"?Ah Yuan is my own younger brother, his sweetheart, you must snatch it away.You have repeatedly mentioned that I couldn't bear to refuse you and kept pushing and procrastinating.I didn't hear you mention it these few days, and I thought you had a sex change, but who would have skipped me and asked for it directly from the young couple A Yuan.You... You want to have a son to the point of obsession, it's really scary.If you want to have a son, you should accumulate more negative virtues, but you did the opposite.

"It doesn't need to be like this." The emperor calmed down and said in a gentle voice: "Xiao Congcong is A Yuan's beloved son, so he should naturally be raised by A Yuan, and there is no need to send him to the palace."

Queen Zhang was in a hurry.If it was only her and the emperor at this time, she would definitely open her mouth in reproach, forcing the emperor to take back his order.But right now it's Ningshou Palace, and the Empress Dowager is sitting on it, how dare she rush forward.

Jin Wang's picturesque face was full of hesitation, and he said in a low voice: "If Xiao Congcong is sent to the palace, it will really make my brother have a son..."

The emperor smiled, "Then, is A Yuan willing?"

King Jin struggled with himself for a long time, and whispered the truth, "Well, A Yuan is still reluctant."

The emperor stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, with imperceptible satisfaction in his eyes, "This is Ah Yuan's true nature." How natural it is for a person not to part with his son.If in order to please the monarch, he could even give up his own son, wouldn't he be a villain like Yi Ya?

The more Queen Zhang listened, the more anxious she became, but it was inconvenient to intervene, and her palms were sweating.

The emperor appeased the King of Jin, and respectfully asked the Empress Dowager, "The grandson will arrange the sacrifice to heaven, please rest assured, grandma. In addition, in the grandma's palace, Taoist Wuchen can set up a sacrificial altar to worship the gods and pray for disaster relief." Bless."

In the face of the fire from the sky and the sudden disaster, the method proposed by the emperor is actually the most common and most appropriate method.Generally speaking, there is nothing to dispute.It was foreseeable that the Empress Dowager would nod, and the present Empress Zhang and King Jin would not object.

At this time, a court lady stood up, and she mustered up so much courage, she tremblingly said: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, the Empress Dowager, you must never use Wuchen's demon way again! The fire in Ningshou Palace is clearly caused by no Dust was brought in by the demon way! Prince Jin's heir fell ill, and Wuchen also harmed him!"

She was dressed in the costume of an ordinary court lady, her hair corners had burnt marks, and her face was flat and unremarkable.Such court ladies are called "du people", their status is very low, and they rarely have the opportunity to stand out.She dared to speak out suddenly in front of the Empress Dowager and others, which was considered extremely courageous.

Before the Empress Dowager and the others could speak, Empress Zhang was furious, "How can you defame Taoist Priest Wuchen with profound magic power? Someone, drag her down and slap her hard!"

This is the Ningshou Palace, whether it's the servants or the maids, the Empress Dowager is the only one to follow.Seeing that the Empress Dowager was sitting steadily without nodding, no one did anything, and the maid was still standing there peacefully.

After Empress Zhang spoke, she realized her own Meng Lang, and hurriedly pleaded guilty to the Empress Dowager, "The grandson's daughter-in-law has overstepped." The Empress Dowager smiled faintly, and asked the maid slowly, "Are you from my palace? What is your surname? Is what you just said true?"

The palace maid knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed heavily, "This servant is the sweeping maid of Ningshou Palace. Her surname is He Minghua. She only does rough work on weekdays. Although this servant is crude, she knows that Wuchen is an out-and-out demon! He There is a house in Nanmianhua Hutong, where countless gold and silver treasures are hidden, and there are dozens of beauties! He sucks the blood of beauties, he is a vampire!"

At this time, the sky was not yet clear, and it was cold and desolate. Hearing the words of the court lady He Hua, many people felt chills on their backs and trembled.It's too scary to breed beautiful women and suck their blood.He Hua, you intend to scare people to death, don't you?
Empress Zhang blushed, but she heard the Empress Dowager still asking unhurriedly: "How did you know about this? You were in the palace, how did you know about him in Nanmianhua Hutong?" .”
