The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 49

Ever since Chu Xue was diagnosed as pregnant that day, Song Chen made the decision to spare her from going to Danweiyuan every morning and evening. .And Chu Xue also knew that she was the most hated right now, so in order to protect the child in her belly, she also reduced the number of times she went out.

But now is also the time when she is the most tired, lethargic all day long, and every morning, she still insists on helping Song Chen get up, and when they leave, she goes back to sleep again, and even breakfast has to be delayed for an hour .Fortunately, apart from snoozing, she has no other discomfort for the time being, and her appetite is not bad.

This morning, Chu Xue returned to the cage after a good night's sleep, opened her eyes, looked at the sunlight seeping in from outside the tent, guessed that it was not too early, so she lifted the quilt and got up.

Hearing the movement, the outer door opened, and Yanling and Qijing walked in. Since Qijing came to her side, they have been taking care of her daily life together with Yanling. Qijing is gentle and stable, and Chu Xue likes her very much.

"Master, are you awake?" Yanling asked her softly.This girl, since staying with Qi Jing, even her voice has become much softer.

"Yeah." She nodded lazily, looked at the sunshine outside the hanging curtain, and asked, "What time is it?"

"It's two quarters now." Yanling answered concisely.

Chu Xue laughed at herself, "I'm almost like a pig if I can sleep so much every day."

Yan Ling burst out laughing, Qi Jing smiled and comforted her, "Master, please don't say that, women are always pregnant like this, wait until the first three months and it will be fine."

Chu Xue nodded, and asked casually, "Did Sister Yun do the same at that time?"

Qi Jing thought about it for a while, "Mrs. Yun was much more serious than you at that time. This servant remembers that she slept for six months!"

"What? Six months?" Yanling exclaimed in a low voice, and Chu Xue also looked surprised, she asked, "Didn't I hear that Sister Yun was always in good health, how could she be so tired? She had to sleep for so long?"

"Actually..." Qi Jing lowered her voice, "In fact, Mrs. Yun was in good health before she became pregnant, but since she was pregnant with the third son, her body has become weak. Physical weakness, dystocia during birth, and then even worse. The servant girl remembers that when the prince carried the third son to the concubine, Mrs. Yun was in a bad mood and cried all day long. Later, Mrs. Li from her natal family came to see After a few times, the spirit slowly improved."

Qi Jing sighed, "Not long after, the servant was transferred away. As for how Mrs. Yun got better, the servant didn't know."

Chu Xue smiled at her, "I often hear that women have a hard time conceiving in October, and once they give birth, it will be a hell of a journey, but I can rest assured that I have you guys by my side."

Qijing and Yanling nodded together, she sat down and let them do her makeup.

But in my heart I was thinking about what Qi Jing said just now.

Li Jiaoyun's body is in good shape, but it has deteriorated since she was pregnant, and with the addition of dystocia...

At that time, there was only Liao Zhong, a doctor in Yanzhou, so Chu Xue had to suspect that Xu Jinhe had also attacked Li Jiaoyun.At that time, Li Jiaoyun was the only concubine, and she was good-looking. With Xu Jinhe's jealousy, she probably wouldn't let her go.

Her heart tightened, and she couldn't help touching her lower abdomen, child, mother must protect you!
Compared with Li Jiaoyun back then, although Chu Xue was more hated by Xu Jinhe, she was also luckier. She had the secret care of the imperial concubine Jing in the palace and Song Chen's powerful considerateness.Ever since he came back from Funing Palace, Song Chen ordered the mansion doctor to ask Chu Xue for pulse twice a day, morning and evening, and he chose the new mansion doctor naturally, the mother and concubine could always find someone for him.

What's more, after Chu Xue's grievances in the past few times, Song Chen has already begun to guard against his regular wife.

Although Xu Jinhe didn't let him discover any clues, but it was related to Xue'er, so he had to be on guard.

Ever since we met in Danweiyuan, Mrs. Zheng has always reminisced about the past of that little cousin in front of Chu Xue for several days. She came to show the person secretly sent by Danweiyuan with her extraordinarily enthusiastic appearance, but after a long time, she became a little tired and had to think of a way to solve this trouble.

That night, she nestled in Song Chen's arms. After chatting for a while, she casually mentioned, "My lord, I want to ask for your favor."

Ever since she was pregnant, she was obviously clingy, and she even began to take the initiative to sneak into his arms. He was soft in his heart, and he was naturally willing to respond to his requests, but before he did, he still said: "Let's listen."

She said softly: "It's about my wet nurse, Nanny Zheng. Nanny Zheng raised me up, and I am very happy to see her again, but, you know, Nanny Zheng is not from the palace after all. There are a lot of people in the royal residence, and Madam Zheng has been in the countryside for many years, and our servants in the Chu residence were easy-going, so I feel that it is inappropriate to force Madam Zheng to stay here."

Song Chen paused slightly and asked, "In your opinion, where should Madam Zheng go?"

Chu Xue straightened up and looked at him, "If the lord allows, I would like to send her back to the Chu Mansion. My sister-in-law and two nephews are still in the capital, and my mother's family does not have many servants, and the most lacking is a mother who can take care of the children." Mother, Mother Zheng is very experienced in bringing up my concubine from a young age, if she helps take care of the two nephews, my mother and sister-in-law will be able to relax."

"How does your lord feel?"

Then looked at him expectantly.

Seeing that Song Chen seemed to have a slight pause, shouldn't she like having a wet nurse to take care of Chu Xue?
He asked, "In your opinion, where should Madam Zheng go?"

Chu Xue straightened up and looked at him, "If the lord allows, I would like to send her back to the Chu Mansion. My sister-in-law and two nephews are still in the capital, and my mother's family does not have many servants, and the most lacking is a mother who can take care of the children." Mother, Mother Zheng is very experienced in bringing up my concubine from a young age, if she helps take care of the two nephews, my mother and sister-in-law will be able to relax."

"How does your lord feel?"

Then looked at him expectantly.

It would be fine if Mrs. Zheng had been serving her all the time, but she has been in the country for so many years, and it is really not suitable to follow her into the palace in the future. She feels that this idea is a good way to get the best of both worlds. If he considers this, he should agree.

Sure enough, after thinking for a while, he nodded in agreement, "Just do as you say."

"Thank you, my lord!" She was happy and lay back in his arms.

Song Chen stroked her belly lightly, and asked thoughtfully, "What kind of child were you when you were young?"

She smiled slightly.

When she was a child, she was a lively and willful little girl. Her mother locked her in the room to play the piano and write. She escaped through the window while no one was there. After being caught, she was slapped twice on the buttocks. The sex does not change, the mother is often angry and cry, lamenting that her temperament has followed the father...

But that little girl named Chu Xue was weak when she was young, and she was bored in the room all day. The matter of the elders...

Should she tell him that?
She really wanted to share with him funny stories from her childhood, such as when her elder brother shot an arrow off the target, she gloated at the side, smiling and laughing but fell into the mud; for example, she wanted to learn from Qin Yuan to climb a tree to pick fruit, but fell from the tree She tore her dress, for example, she used a bamboo pole to drive away birds, but attracted a swarm of wasps...

But in the end, she chose the latter.

She said softly, "When I was a child, my health was not very good, and I often had to drink medicine and get needles. My parents and elder brother often bought sweets to coax my concubine. Later, I had smallpox and almost died. Fortunately, I met a doctor." After that, not only the smallpox was cured, but also the body gradually recuperated, and I didn't get any sickness again."

"Probably because I was hurt by eating sweet things when I was a child, and then I don't like sweets anymore."

He didn't say anything, just smiled and sighed: "I don't know if this child will be like you or me?"

"If it's a boy, it's better to be like the prince; if it's a girl, it's better to be like a concubine." She raised her head and asked, "Does the prince want a boy or a girl?"

He lowered his eyes and looked at her tenderly, "It's fine, as long as it's born by you, it's fine."

She pursed her lips and smiled, but after the smile she said half-seriously: "My concubine hopes to be a daughter. A daughter is caring and can always be with me."

Song Chen followed her words and thought about it. If his daughter came first, and he looked like her, he would naturally like it and love him very much.

But it is best for the son to come first. The royal mother is more expensive than the son, and he can give her better things if he wishes.

But when the time comes, it's me who decides, what reward I want to give my woman, it's none of other people's business!

Thinking about it this way, it is indeed good for both men and women.

He hugged her contentedly and fell asleep.

The next day, Chu Xue took Mrs. Zheng back to her natal home.

Sending someone to ask Xu Jinhe for instructions went smoothly. Xu Jinhe went back to her mother's house by herself, and there was no reason to stop her. What's more, she is now the key protection object of the entire palace. Princess Xu only pretended to pay attention, and let her go .

When I came to the door of the house and got off the car, I realized that my mother was already waiting at the door.

"Mother." She called out with a smile, but she had a sore nose.

Because I was pregnant, I realized the feeling of being a mother. Although this is not her biological mother, she has also endured the pain of losing her daughter and raised her for eight years. In addition, Mrs. Zheng often mentioned the old things about her little cousin recently. At this moment She felt sad when she saw her mother.

But the mother's face was full of kindness. The news of her pregnancy had already spread to her natal family. The whole family was happy for her. The servants were probably happy about the honor of their own family after King Heng ascended the throne in the future, but the parents were relieved. It was she who was finally going to have her own flesh and blood, and finally had a long-term support in the palace and even the deep palace in the future.

More importantly, it can comfort the souls of the Yue family.

Mrs. Chu took her daughter's hand lovingly, and was about to ask a question when she caught a glimpse of a familiar face behind her.

Chu Xue immediately explained, "Mother, this is Madam Zheng, my daughter's nurse when she was a child, do you remember?" After speaking, she patted her mother's hand lightly.

Mrs. Chu recognized him at first, and she was about to be frightened, but she felt the relief from her daughter's hand, so she was a little relieved. Since her daughter brought him back, she must have solved it by herself.She hurriedly helped Mrs. Zheng who kowtowed to her, exchanged a few pleasantries, and tried her best not to let the servants and coachmen of Hengwang Mansion see anything strange.

After entering the room, Mrs. Chu closed the door and asked about Chu Xue.

Chu Xue told her mother the whole process of meeting Zheng, and also told her plan. After hearing this, her mother nodded, thinking that she made a good arrangement. After all, she was found from her natal family in Jinzhou and stayed with her. Observe for a few days first, if there is really nothing suspicious, then leave it to the daughter-in-law to use. In any case, it is best to let her leave Xueer and not be used by Xu Jinhe.

"Mother, the Xu family should have noticed." Chu Xue looked at her mother solemnly.She should have told her father directly, but right now her father is not in the mansion, and she can only see her at lunch, but she is still there during lunch, and her sister-in-law doesn't know about it, so she can't speak, so she can only tell her mother now.

Mrs. Chu also nodded her head, "If we can find Madam Zheng, I must have become suspicious, and I'm afraid I have not only been to Jinzhou." After thinking about it, she said in relief: "But don't worry, they have spent a lot of money Zhou Zhang searched for Madam Zheng, presumably because he couldn't find any other flaws. If we left her behind, they couldn't do anything about it. As for what happened back then, the only one who knew the truth was that Dr. Gu Xin, Your father is kind to him, so he should not betray. I will tell your father at night and let him think again. "

"Yeah." Chu Xue nodded.She believed that her father must have a way.

After settling down with my mother, my father came back. The family had just finished their lunch and were still drinking tea, but they saw a few people rushing in from outside. Looking at their clothes, Chu Xue recognized that they were from the palace.

Seeing Chu Lin sitting at the front of the dining table, the visitor was extremely solemn.

"There is something in the palace, please enter the palace immediately."
