The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 44

Due to a delay in going to Chu's mansion at noon, Song Chen did not have dinner with Chu Xue in the evening in order to finish the day's business.Ruyue was not there, and Chu Xue didn't have a good appetite, so she simply ate some and ordered people to leave.

The evening time is easier to pass. She is learning embroidery from Yanling recently. Although Yanling practiced martial arts when she was young, she is very skillful. Halfway through, almost bedtime, she got up to shower.

Just after returning to the inner room after taking a bath, he saw Song Chen had come over, waiting for her with his idle books.The mattresses had been laid, and the maids left the room consciously.

She saluted with a slight smile, Song Chen took her hand, he had also bathed, and there was a faint fragrance on his body, she joked: "My lord is sober?"

"I didn't drink much before." He pulled her into his arms and said in a low voice, "Although the alcohol has gone down, I still remember what I said at noon."

At noon...

She suddenly remembered what he had said in the carriage, and couldn't help but blush.

He loves to see her shy appearance the most, and he can't help but bow his head to take pity on her. After kissing her tenderly for a while, he felt that her body was a little hot, so he thoughtfully unbuttoned her clothes.

"Tell me, how else can I love you?"

In the turbulent ups and downs, she only heard this sentence.

In the middle of the night, the tent returned to calm, Song Chen looked at the sleepy beauty in his arms, and his mind was full of thoughts.

"It's been more than a year, why hasn't my stomach moved?" He asked suddenly.

When she heard what he was asking, her drowsiness disappeared halfway, but she didn't show it on her face, she just said lazily: "I don't know either! At that time in Yanzhou, I asked specifically, the government doctor Didn't you say that there is nothing wrong with being a concubine?"

She slowly opened her eyes, and tentatively asked, "Your Highness misses a child?"

"Yeah." Song Chen looked at her with a faint smile, "I want you to give birth to me."

Chu Xue felt warm in her heart, and said softly: "I also want to have one soon."

As the years get older, the mother's thoughts gradually become stronger. If there is a child, when Song Chen is busy, she will play with the child, and the life will be much richer.

With one child, they were inseparable.

Also, if there is a child, she has a blood relative, and she is no longer an orphan in this world.

So she really wanted to have a baby soon.

Hearing what she said, he got up again and bowed his head to kiss her.

She was startled, and whispered urgently: "My lord..."

She was really tired. He was in high spirits just now, which made her waist sore and her legs ache.

"If you want a child, how can you not work harder..."

Just when he was about to close his eyes and bear it, a human voice sounded outside the door.

It was Yanling, and Yanling called out cautiously: "My lord, master, are you asleep?"

Yanling never disturbed them, Chu Xue became alert, raised her voice and asked, "What's wrong?"

Hearing the echo, Yanling immediately responded eagerly, "Back to the master, a father-in-law came from the palace and said that there is something urgent to find the prince."

It is no small matter for someone to come to the palace late at night.The two people on the bed immediately stopped their movements and stood up. Chu Xue dressed Song Chen first and let him go out, and she tidied up in a hurry and followed.

The one who came was an officer from Qinzheng Hall, who bowed steadily beforehand, but with a somewhat solemn face, bowed to Song Chen and said: "Your Highness, the emperor suddenly felt unwell an hour ago, Please enter the palace urgently."

Song Chen raised his eyebrows, and hurriedly asked: "How is the father now? Has he passed on the imperial doctor? How is the mother and concubine?"

"Your Highness, don't be in a hurry. The imperial doctor has already examined you before the servant came out. He said that the emperor has recently suffered a traumatic injury. He has been over-thinking and needs to rest. I respect the imperial concubine and empress. Please rest assured, Your Highness."

Only then did Song Chen relax a little, and asked, "Is there anyone else besides summoning me?"

The officer bowed his head, "Yes, the emperor also summoned Zhou Fuzhi's Taiwei and Su Qin University."

Song Chen had an idea in his mind, nodded and said, "I'm going now." After speaking, he lifted his feet and was about to leave.

"My lord," Chu Xue called hastily, and asked, "Over there in Funing Palace, do you need to visit me?"

There was warmth in his eyes, and he said softly: "You rest first, and then go after dawn."

"Yes." Chu Xue nodded, watching the man leave.

The night was dark, and when Song Chen hurried to Qinzheng Hall, Emperor Jianhe was still lying on the couch.

In order to avoid the king's discomfort, only a few lamps were lit in the inner hall. The yellow halo lights reflected the sick face of Emperor Jianhe, making the Ninth Five-Year Emperor look much older.

"Come?" Emperor Jianhe saw Song Chen and asked simply.

Song Chen was about to kneel down and salute, but Emperor Jianhe waved his hand, "Why do you do these vain salutes?"

Song Chen bowed his head and said yes.

Hengwang Mansion is closer to the imperial palace, so among the three people who were summoned, Song Chen was the first to arrive. Not long after, Taiwei Zhou Fuzhi and Grand Scholar Su Qin also arrived and waited outside the palace. It was reported that Emperor Jianhe wanted to get up from the couch, but it seemed to be a little difficult.

Seeing this, Song Chen hurried to help.

He sighed in his heart, his resolute and resolute killing father turned into such a haggard overnight, it can be seen that his father still cared a lot about the useless prince and King Rui, otherwise, how could his mind be broken? so?

Sitting on the couch, Jianhe Dixu looked at Zhou Fuzhi and Su Qin who were kneeling in front of him. After a moment of silence, he said slowly, "Today I called the three of you over. There is only one thing. I am tired and want to rest for a while. For the time being, Prince Heng will take care of the previous court, and from now on, you can ask Prince Heng to handle all the important matters in the court, and the two of you will be by your side to assist."

Everyone in the hall was stunned. What does the emperor mean... Could it be that he is passing on the throne?
Seeing that the old man is in good health, why did he suddenly say these words?
However, the emperor has always been one-sided. Since the imperial decree was issued, Song Chen and Zhou should be together, and the three of Su should bow their heads.

After explaining the important matter, Emperor Jianhe said to Song Chen: "Call all the family members of Yanzhou back while the weather is good. I miss those emperors and grandchildren too. While I have energy, it's time to enjoy the family relationship." .”

Everyone paused again, it seems that they didn't get it wrong just now, moving all the family members of King Heng's Mansion of Yanzhou back to the capital, and ordering King Heng to supervise the country, how much meaning could there be?
It's time to pass the position!

Song Chen nodded, "Yes, I will do it when I get back."

Emperor Jianhe thought for a while, and seemed to have nothing else to do, waved his hand and said, "Go down."

Everyone exited the palace gate.

The palace returned to tranquility, Emperor Jianhe lay down again, but he didn't seem to want to go to sleep in a hurry, and ordered the palace people: "Pass to respect the noble concubine."

"Yes."

Immediately someone obeyed the order.

Emperor Jianhe looked at the curtain above the imperial couch in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Since he was 23 years old when he bloodbathed the Zichen Palace and seized the throne, he has been the emperor for 33 years. How does it feel after sitting for more than 30 years?Only he himself understands.

As for the success of his sitting, I am afraid that it will be judged by future generations.

Now, he is really tired and needs a good rest.

When Concubine Jing arrived at Qinzheng Hall, her husband was already fast asleep.

When Song Chen returned to Wantang Garden, Chu Xue was not asleep, but was still waiting for him.Seeing him coming back, she got up to greet him with a happy face.

He frowned, "Why didn't you sleep? Didn't I tell you to take a good rest?"

She smiled gently, "The concubine can't sleep."

He left in a hurry late at night, and of course those who missed him couldn't sleep.

It was still three hours before dawn, he pulled her to lie down again, and said: "Then sleep with me for a while."

"Yeah." She slipped into his arms.

It's autumn, and the night is cool, and he still seems a little chilly, so she puts a stick in his arms, trying to warm him up with her own body temperature.

But I heard him say: "Yanzhou is going to move back."

She has a meal.So fast?

Knowing that this day will come, knowing that she is just one of the women in the palace, but they are all coming so soon?
She wanted to go back to being a concubine who had to go to pay her respects in front of her regular wife every day, and a woman who had to be on guard against other people's schemes all the time.

The sweet dreams of the past two months, his sweet dreams that only belonged to her, passed by in a flash.

After a while, she only said, "Yes, I know."

He understood what her brief silence meant. She wanted to live a simple life with him, but he had no choice but to have a wife and son before he met her. He couldn't give her now, so he could only do his best to spoil her.

He kissed her forehead and comforted her softly, "Don't think too much, take good care of your body and give me a baby as soon as possible."

"Yeah." She nodded, forced a smile, and closed her eyes.

My heart suddenly felt sour.You're almost there, and there are more women, aren't you?
But he was thinking that she had given birth to a child earlier, so that she would be able to raise her status. Those old scholars in the Ministry of Rites have been talking about the so-called ancestral etiquette system all day long.

Only by allowing her to give birth to a child quickly, can he silence everyone, and justifiably give her a more respected seat...
