The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 48

The little maid who was going to announce the good news had only gone out for half a cup of tea, before the government doctor from Danweiyuan left, Song Chen hurried over.

He rushed over so quickly, the joy in his heart was self-evident, he even avoided everyone's courtesy, and couldn't wait to look at his Xue'er.

Seeing him coming, Chu Xue smiled softly and contentedly, her face flushed with blush, Song Chen was sweet in her heart, and hurriedly asked the doctor, "You can see clearly, how is Mrs. Xue's health?"

The doctor knew that the prince was happy and impatient, and wanted to wait for him to confirm again, so he hurriedly replied: "Return to the prince, madam is indeed happy pulse, and madam's health is not serious, but because it is the first child, please return it to me." Please pay more attention to the girls, and serve them carefully."

Concubine Jing asked Ji Yuan to write the food tonic formula a few days ago, which was really useful. In just a few tens of days, Chu Xue's shortfalls were almost covered. Plus she is young, and now she is in good health.

Hearing the good news with his own ears, Song Chen was finally at ease and satisfied, the joy in his heart was naturally on his face, he smiled and said: "Okay, good! There are rewards, everyone present today has rewards, and I will reward you well later Appreciate the Wantang Court."

It was really seen that he was happy now, everyone present thanked him one after another, and their faces were also tinged with joy.

But what is the feeling behind this happy look, only each person knows.

Xia Wanyin went crazy with jealousy.

She has also been favored, but for three whole years, there is no movement in her stomach. She has used all kinds of folk remedies, and even sincerely drinks the tonic soup brought by the kitchen, but God refuses to take care of her.Later Chu Xue entered the mansion, took her newcomer position, and took away all her favors. She hated her to the core, but when she saw that Chu Xue was not pregnant for a long time, she felt a little happier. Fortunately, they had one thing in common... Yes, she hoped that Chu Xue would never be able to conceive a child.

But today, she saw it with her own eyes and heard the news that crushed her. Chu Xue was also pregnant with a child. Now in the palace, she is the only childless child. Does she really have any problems?
Xia Wanyin was jealous and hurt, and Xu Jinhe, who was even more stimulated, was going crazy. She didn't understand why this woman was so lucky every time, and every time she had a chance to escape the situation she had carefully arranged, she just found a way to bring her and Chu The possibility of family, she was pregnant!Liao Zhong, that dog slave, must have had something wrong with his medical skills, otherwise he wouldn't have taken it lightly, and let Chu Xue pick it up again.

It's one thing to keep her from getting pregnant, but getting rid of it after she gets pregnant is a lot more troublesome!What's more, now that he has come to the capital, there is a concubine Jing Gui who has a lot of affection for Chu Xue recently, and even the government doctors and servants are not so easy to control. It is indeed very difficult to make Chu Xue's stomach go wrong without anyone noticing.

Also, first Song Ning's health gradually improved, and now Chu Xue is happy again. Liao Zhong's dog slave is really not very useful, and he must clean it up when he is free someday.

Xu Jinhe was thinking about it when he suddenly heard Song Chen instructing the doctor, "Go back and write a list of what pregnant women should and should not eat. Tell Wantangyuan, you have to worry about this matter."

"Yes."

Xu Jinhe sneered, it's not the first time being a father, why is he so happy?It's because that woman is pregnant this time!

The doctor withdrew and the room became cleaner. Li Jiaoyun teased Song Ning, "Ning Ning, you are going to be a big sister, go and congratulate your father."

Song Ning didn't understand. She blinked and looked at Song Chen. Song Chen hugged her, pointed at Chu Xue's belly, and said, "Auntie has a baby here. Ning Ning is going to be an older sister. Are you happy?"

"Well," Song Ning finally understood, clapped her hands and laughed, "Ning Ning likes babies, and Ning Ning likes being a big sister."

Song Chen dotingly kissed the little girl's forehead, and looked at Chu Xue with a smile.

Chu Xue pursed her lips and smiled, tenderly and shyly.

Xu Jinhe flirted with Song Chen on her own territory, Xu Jinhe was furious, and just wanted to make this bitch disappear quickly. She showed a virtuous demeanor and reminded Song Chen, "My lord, my sister is pregnant. She must be tired. Why don't you let her go first?" Sister go back to rest?"

Only then did Song Chen remember that he had instructed him for a long time, but he hadn't spoken to his Xueer, so he nodded and said, "What the concubine said is that it's getting late, so let's all go back to rest first."

Although Chu Xue was happy, she did not forget that there was Madam Zheng in the house, she was a very important person, and she must not let her fall into Xu Jinhe's hands again.

She turned her head to look at Xu Jinhe, "Since the concubine brought Madam Zheng here, the concubine would be more respectful than obedient. Thank you concubine, the concubine will bring her there now."

What Xu Jinhe said just now was the person brought here for Chu Xue. Now that she was in front of everyone and Song Chen was there, she couldn't refuse, so she could only pretend to accept it with a smile.

Everyone retreated one after another and went back to the yard.

After closing the door, there were only two people in the room. Song Chen picked up Chu Xue and gently put her on the bed.

She knew that he was careful of her, so she didn't say anything, and let him hold her in his arms, smiling contentedly.

He asked softly, "Why didn't you tell me?"

She explained in a soft voice, "I don't know about myself, I just feel tired recently, the monthly letter is a few days late, I just think it's tired."

He also understands that this is the truth. A girl is naturally inexperienced when she becomes a mother for the first time. Otherwise, if she knew, why would she let him touch her a few nights ago?
He caressed her lower abdomen and sighed: "This child is very arrogant. I have worked hard for so long before he is willing to come. It really whetted my appetite."

Chu Xue laughed out loud, and joked: "It's not the first time the prince has a child, why does he seem to be happier than the concubine?"

His voice was gentle, but full of seriousness, "You gave birth to me, of course I'm happy!"

He lowered his head to look at her, only to see her watery eyes looking back, full of satisfaction and sweetness, he couldn't help but lean over to feel sorry for her.

After pestering Rou Rou for a while, there was a change in him. She noticed it, and blushed and refused, "My lord, this concubine is just pregnant, so I can't..."

"I know." He responded hoarsely, "It's just a habitual reaction, don't be afraid, it will be fine in a while."

She nodded slightly, and moved back, allowing a little distance between the two.

He didn't try to stop him, he calmed down for a while, and sighed, "The little guy is here, which makes me happy and a headache. Looking at the elements for a few months, I'm not used to it."

It was only then that Chu Xue remembered that when she was pregnant, she couldn't serve him in the first few months. Even if she could serve him in the middle, after all, he wouldn't be able to enjoy herself with her body there.

He is in his prime, will he find someone else...

But he said that the elements have been going on for a few months, which seems to be denying this possibility. Does he want to defend himself?

She was immediately pleasantly surprised, but she still had some doubts in addition to being pleasantly surprised. She tentatively said: "The concubine can't serve the prince, and there are several other sisters. The prince can go to other courtyards to move around."

He looked sideways at her, and suddenly found it funny, so he teased and said: "Oh? Xue'er is really so generous? Then the king should be respectful rather than obedient. From now on, will you go to other people more often?"

She lowered her eyes, knowing that he was joking, but bit her lips and did not speak.

Knowing that she was jealous, he hugged her again, but said coldly, "You don't believe me? You still come to test me?"

The man in his arms suddenly opened his arms and hugged him tightly, and said aggrievedly: "It's not that I don't believe in the lord, but I just don't dare to expect extravagantly. I made a slip of the tongue, and the lord don't believe it. I... like the lord and treat me well."

There was a cry in her voice, as if she had really been wronged by her. Song Chen suddenly felt guilty and hurried to coax her, "Don't think about it, raise the baby well, and give birth to the child properly. It's the same as before, you know?"

"Yeah." She nodded, really crying.

After King Ning's accident, Emperor Jianhe's health seemed to be getting worse and worse. Every time Song Chen went to visit him, he felt that the smell of medicine on his father's body was getting stronger and worse, but his complexion was getting worse and worse. The trusted imperial doctor reported it in private Telling him that Emperor Jianhe might not be able to survive today's severe winter, Song Chen felt a chill in his heart.

Although the abolished prince's rebellion was caused by his persecution, one must know that in that situation, if the other party did not die, he would have to die, so he was actually forced to do so.As for King Rui and King Ning, that was purely self-inflicted, and he spared their lives, which is already the greatest filial piety to his father.

So right now, he can't help his father's condition, he can only do his best to make his father's last days happier.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is another important day, which is the birthday of Emperor Jianhe on the third day of September.Thinking about it, since it might be the last birthday of his father, Song Chen made up his mind to take care of it. When he was done with the important matters at hand, he went to the palace to ask for Emperor Jianhe's will, and summoned the three brothers, King Huai, King Shen, and King Li, back home. Jing pays homage to his father's birthday.Emperor Jianhe also had a vague premonition about his own body, and didn't say anything else, only letting him decide.

After meeting his father, Song Chen went to Funing Palace. Chu Xue had some good news, and he wanted to personally tell his mother and concubine, so that her mother and concubine could also be happy.

In the warm pavilion, Concubine Jing is squinting her eyes to study a chess record. Recently, Emperor Jianhe is weak and cannot move around often, so she often accompany her to play chess games to relieve boredom. In the first 30 years, her husband was busy with political affairs, and there were few people who could accompany her Therefore, when she was young, she didn't play with the chessboard much.Now that she has to go to battle frequently, she realizes that playing chess with him is not an easy task. It should neither make him exhaust his brains nor be too superficial, so whenever she is free, she will use this chess book to study.

Hearing Song Chen come in, Concubine Jing put down the chess record and said gently, "Why are you free today?"

Song Chen saluted, sat down opposite his mother and concubine, and replied: "Today, I have come to receive an order from my father to discuss the return of the kings to Beijing on my father's birthday next month."

Concubine Jing nodded and ordered someone to serve him warm tea.

Song Chen looked at his mother and concubine, and thought of his father's illness. He had mixed feelings for a moment. He waved his hand to dismiss the palace servants, and said to his mother and concubine: "The imperial doctor reported to my son that the father's illness... probably won't pass this winter. .”

Concubine Jing was startled, looked up at her son, looked at the worry and intolerance in his handsome eyes, was silent for a while, then nodded, "Got it."

What a cruel fate, the day when her son reaches the summit is coming, but her husband wants to leave her far away.But cultivate the color of jade and sell it to the emperor's family.Since the moment she stepped into the palace gate, isn't such a fate already doomed?
What's more, she is still the winner in this deep palace, compared to Empress Chen and others, she is many times stronger, at least she has her son to rely on.

Song Chen knew that Concubine Mu was feeling bad, but he couldn't think of words to comfort him for a moment. He was in a dilemma, but Concubine Mu smiled at him, "Don't worry, Concubine Mu is fine, you won, Concubine Mu Years are not in vain."

Song Chen nodded, the mother and son drank some tea, Concubine Jing asked again: "Is that why you came here today?"

He smiled and hurriedly said: "No, I still have a happy event to report to my concubine."

"Oh?" Concubine Jing's eyes were filled with anticipation.

"Xue'er... Mrs. Chu, she is pregnant." His eyes were full of joy.

Hearing that Concubine Jing really laughed, she nodded, "That's good, that's good. I'll give her something later, and you take it back."

Of the four children in Prince Heng's Mansion, only Song Chi was born in the capital, and he followed them to Yanzhou after more than a year after his birth. Therefore, although Concubine Jing Gui had four grandchildren, none of them grew up in front of her eyes. Now, Chu Xue's baby came at the right time. She could be a good grandmother and watch this little grandson grow up day by day.

Seeing his concubine mother smile, Song Chen was finally relieved, and said in a harmonious voice, "Let Mrs. Chu enter the palace some other day to thank you."

"That's all." Concubine Jing waved her hand, "What kind of courtesy are you doing, let her take good care of the baby, don't be tired from running around, there will be plenty of opportunities when she enters the palace in the future."

After saying that, she thought of something again, Concubine Jing coughed lightly, and said: "Ms. Chu is the firstborn, so naturally she should be weaker, you should always take care of her, don't be left out in the cold, and..." Concubine Jing had no deep meaning, "When she is favored, it is inevitable that people will be jealous. You have to be more careful. There are many people in the backyard. For the sake of the unborn child, you must prevent problems before they happen."

Song Chen paused, nodded and said, "Yes, I know."

On the way back to the mansion, Song Chen kept thinking about the last words of his mother and concubine. He remembered that many years ago, when he was still a young child, his mother and concubine were pregnant and told him that he would give birth to a younger sister. He was very happy All day long, she surrounded her concubine's belly and called her sister, sincerely looking forward to her birth.But suddenly one day, his concubine mother was lying weakly on the bed, and her swollen abdomen disappeared. Then the palace people told him that the younger sister in her concubine's belly was gone. He didn't understand what that meant, but saw concubine mother A heartbroken face...

Clenching his fists, he told himself that he must not let his woman repeat the same mistakes.
