The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 66

Due to the heavy blood of the parturient, although Song Chen wanted to spend more time with Chu Xue, but due to the ancestral rules, he still went back to the Qinzheng Hall for bed.Before leaving, he carefully tucked in the quilt for her, kissed her on the forehead, and reluctantly left the palace gate.

Although there is no one to accompany her tonight, Chu Xue feels very fulfilled when she thinks of her newborn daughter and him who is considerate of herself.

Giving birth is extremely tiring. Although she just woke up, after seeing her daughter after filling her stomach, she closed her eyes in the deep night and fell asleep again.

That night, she dreamed of someone she hadn't seen for a long time.

She dreamed that she was a child again.

She went out to play, and when she was about to return, she saw a brilliant apricot tree on the mountain. She thought it was so beautiful, and wanted to pick one for her mother, so she rolled up her sleeves and began to climb the tree.The trunk was a bit thick, and she felt it was very difficult to hold it up. She climbed carefully, but almost fell several times.Fortunately, after a lot of effort, she finally reached a flower. She broke it off with all her strength, and ran home excitedly after landing.

When she stepped into the door, her mother was sitting at the table sealing the clothes for her. The clothes were as gorgeous as fire, she couldn't distinguish the embroidered patterns, she just thought it was dazzlingly beautiful. Seeing her coming in, her mother stopped her hands to look at her, Only then did she remember, and she reached out and handed the branch of apricot blossom to her mother.

strangeness!She clearly remembered that this apricot blossom was a delicate plum red, but why did it emit a dazzling golden light when she handed it out?She was in a daze, but her mother laughed, she folded one flower, pinned it on her hair first, then folded a few flowers and sewed them on the clothes in her hands...

The mother in the dream never spoke to her, but smiled warmly. At the end of the dream, the mother sewed the clothes in her hands, stood up and put them on for her herself. She just wanted to marvel at the beautiful clothes, but the dream woke up .

It was already dawn, and she could hear the chirping birds in the yard. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears that were about to fall on the pillow, and smiled slightly.

Mother, my daughter is very good, and my daughter is also a mother.

My daughter must live on.

Just as she was about to call someone in, she heard a man's deep voice, it was Song Chen.

I only heard him ask: "Is Xue'er awake?"

Yan Ling replied softly: "Go back to the emperor, the master is still sleeping."

Then he hummed, pushed the door open and came in.

In Nuo Da's dormitory, he came to the bed in a few light steps, opened the gauze curtain, and saw the smiling beauty.She has become more gentle since she was pregnant, and it made him more soft when facing her.

"Awake?" he asked.

"En." She nodded, "Why is the emperor here?"

"I'm going to relax today. After I'm done with the work at hand, I want to come over and see you two." He smiled warmly, like the sunshine outside the window.

Hearing him mention the child, her eyes widened, and she hurriedly asked, "How is Le'er? Has the emperor seen it?"

He just gave her a new name last night, and now when she called her suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, but he replied truthfully, "Not yet, I heard that she was breastfeeding when I came here, so I will come in to see you, how about now?" Tell them to take a look?"

Just as she was about to nod, she thought for a while and said, "Come here after she is full."

"Okay." He responded and ordered out the door.

After turning his head to look at her again, he frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Have you ever cried?"

She was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied with a smile: "The concubine dreamed about her mother last night, and after becoming a mother herself, she realized how difficult it is for her mother, so she felt a little emotional."

He was relieved, and stroked her face lightly, "Miss your mother? Then I will order someone to invite Mrs. Chu into the palace."

She shook her head, "Wait for another two days, the concubine is in this state now, even if mother comes, she can't talk well, wait for the concubine to recover, and then ask for the emperor's grace."

She was the one who was more thoughtful, and he nodded in response, "Okay."

After talking sweetly for a while, the daughter who had just had enough to eat was brought in. I heard that the little guy slept through the night without crying or fussing. Now he is in good spirits, and he is focusing on looking at his parents with his round eyes open.The little guy's black eyes were sparkling and bright, and he pursed his mouth from time to time, exuding the fragrance of milk all over his body, which melted the hearts of the parents.

Chu Xue stretched out her finger, and gently touched her smooth and tender face, while Song Chen touched her little hand, her little finger was slender, tightly clenched into a fist, Song Chen bent down, and kissed her gently.

The family of three was enjoying themselves, when they heard the news that the Empress Dowager sent someone over.

It was the female official Ning Yuan who came in. Seeing that Song Chen was also there, Ning Yuan bowed politely first, and then said steadily: "The servant girl was ordered by the queen mother to come to reward the concubine Yi and the little princess. The concubine Yi is the emperor. The Empress Dowager was very pleased with the birth of the princess, and gave a pair of Yu Ruyi to Concubine Yi, and gave the little princess a long life golden lock, bracelets and anklets, and a set of golden unicorn." After the maids presented them one by one, Ning Yuan said again: "Empress, these are just gifts for you and the little princess. When you and the princess are full moon, the queen mother will give you another reward. The queen mother said, please don't thank me, and you must rest well."

The objects on the trays in the hands of the court ladies are exquisite, and the jade ruyi is transparent in color, and it is the top grade of jade at first glance; It's wonderful, even though it's placed on the tray, Chu Xue, who is still on the bed, can see all the auspicious clouds and patterns on her body, lifelike.

After hearing Ning Yuan's words, anyone can tell that the Empress Dowager loves this little granddaughter very much.

Chu Xue said with a smile: "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your concern. I will let the princess go to Funing Palace to thank her for her kindness."

Song Chen also said: "If you are worried about your mother, thank you for me too!"

"Yes." Ning Yuan led the maids behind her to bow their knees and bowed, and left after handing over the gifts to Yufu Palace.

"Not only I like this child, but also the Queen Mother, so don't worry now?"

Song Chen teased her with a smile.

She didn't say anything, just nodded with a smile.

Ru Yue stepped forward, saluted and then said, "Niang Niang, you haven't had your meal since you got up early, let's use some now."

Only then did Song Chen remember that she had been talking to him since she woke up. It has been two quarters of an hour and she still hasn't even drank any saliva. , quickly serve breakfast."

"Yes."

Just as Ruyue was going to the small kitchen, she was stopped by Chu Xue, "Get water first, I want to wash my face."

From yesterday to now, especially during childbirth, she was sweating all over her body. Although she changed her clothes, the imperial doctor Wen Po did not allow her to take a bath. She has been smelly until now, and she can't take care of it when she is asleep. , but now that she wakes up, she will never allow herself to be so sloppy again, and besides Song Chen, she doesn't want him to smell the sweat on her body.

Seeing Ruyue hesitated, she added: "Warm water, wipe it for me." Then Ruyue smiled and went out to do some work.

About half an hour later, Chu Xue washed her face and combed her hair, and had breakfast. It seemed that there was really nothing important in the past and today, and Song Chen stayed with his wife all the time.Not long after, I heard a message from outside the hall again that Li Jiaoyun came to see her.

Aunt Song Ning must come here, besides, I heard from my mother that my aunt gave birth to a younger sister, and she is even happier. She has been arguing to see her sister for a long time. After quarreling with my aunt, seeing her nodding obediently, I was a little relieved.

Seeing Song Chen was there, both mother and daughter saluted. Song Chen had a gentle face and raised his hand to beckon Song Ning to come and see his sister.

Song Ning trotted over, leaned beside his father, carefully staring at the little sister in his father's arms, Li Jiaoyun also stepped forward and leaned over to look.

Xiao Le'er's spirit is not bad. Seeing new faces in front of her, she was very excited. She kept looking at them with her big black eyes. Song Ning was so happy that she wanted to clap her hands and giggle, thinking of her mother Asked, so I had to change it to cover my mouth with my little hand, and smiled.The little girl was so naive, and the adults were all amused by her.

"Does Ning Ning like your sister?" Song Chen asked her.

"I like it." The little girl nodded vigorously.

"Who does Ningning think her sister looks like?" Li Jiaoyun teased her.

The little girl thought about it for a while, then puffed out her chest and said, "Like me."

Everyone was stunned, Chu Xue thought for a while, and asked her half-explainingly, "Ning Ning looks like the father, and the younger sister also looks like the father, so the younger sister is like Ning Ning, right?"

"En." The little girl nodded again.

Because of the two children, the palace is full of warmth.

Unexpectedly, not long after it was warm, there was another communication outside, and Queen Xu Jinhe also came over.

Yesterday when she gave birth to the child, it was already midnight, except for the queen mother who took a look at it, everyone else was only waiting to visit today. Right now there are only three female relatives in the palace.However, when she heard that Chu Xuesheng's daughter was indeed her daughter last night, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her position as the crown prince was finally secured.

Xu Jinhe stepped into the palace gate, and after bowing to Song Chen, Li Jiaoyun and Song Ning also bowed to her in a proper manner. Chu Xue was half lying on the bed, and just lowered her head and said, "Welcome to the empress."

Xu Jinhe was extremely enthusiastic, and hurriedly said: "Sister, you don't need to be too polite, you are weak now, you should take a good rest."

Song Chen's expression that had been slightly cold since she entered the door finally eased a little.

As soon as she came, Li Jiaoyun became solemn, and Song Ning also stopped laughing and stood up straighter. The atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed. Perhaps she had noticed it herself, and she took the initiative to laugh and said: "Last night, I heard that my sister gave birth to the emperor. Princess, but it's getting late, it's not convenient to come and disturb me, I just came here now, I hope my sister won't blame me."

Although she was extremely disgusted in her heart, the smile on Chu Xue's face was not inferior to hers, and she lowered her head and said softly: "Your Majesty's words are serious, and I'm sorry to come here in the midst of her busy schedule. The concubine is very frightened."

Xu Jinhe laughed again, "What did my sister say, that is, the emperor's child. Of course, I, the queen mother, like it. I must come over and take a good look. My child, can you show me?"

"Of course." Chu Xue responded, looking at Song Chen who was holding the child.Xu Jinhe didn't dare to force Song Chen to raise his hand, he lowered himself down, and stretched out his hand to pick up the child.

However, the moment she picked up the child, Chu Xue's heart was suddenly pulled. She was afraid that this woman would do something to her child. Maybe she would throw the child on the ground with an excuse of slippery hands. Do not hurt her child any more...

Although Xu Jinhe would never do such a thing in front of Song Chen, Chu Xue was extremely worried, because the woman in front of her was as cruel as Yan Luo, but she was the one who was held in her arms. The most precious child in this life.

Although it was only for a short while, it seemed to her that she had endured for a year.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Le'er, who was watching people quietly just now, just arrived in Xu Jinhe's hands not long ago, but burst into tears. The loud crying surprised everyone in the hall, and Xu Jinhe was even more caught off guard.

Chu Xue's heart tightened, and her eyebrows frowned, and Li Jiaoyun hurriedly said for her: "Maybe the child is sleepy? The concubine had already played for a long time when she came in just now, why don't you let the wet nurse hold her down and feed her?"

Chu Xue nodded to the waiting wet nurse, and the wet nurse hurried over, took Xiao Le'er from Xu Jinhe's hand, and carried her down to nurse her.

The baby who was just fine just now started crying as soon as it was in his hands, Xu Jinhe was a little embarrassed, he made a rescue by himself, and changed the topic, "Just now I was too busy talking, and I almost forgot, the first time I saw the little princess, I, the queen mother, have prepared Some small gifts, I hope my sister will not be disgusted."

As soon as the child left Xu Jinhe's body, Chu Xue immediately relaxed a lot, and smiled politely: "The concubine will take it for the little princess first, and when she grows up, she will definitely let her thank you."

Song Chen finally opened his mouth, and said slowly, "Your empress, please worry."

"This is what a concubine should do." Seeing that her husband finally spoke to herself, Xu Jinhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After the child was taken away, there was only a little Song Ning and a whole room of adults left in the hall. Little Song Ning was a little afraid of Xu Jinhe and didn't dare to speak. , Afraid of disturbing my sister's rest, I left first."

As soon as the mother and daughter left, Xu Jinhe felt even more embarrassed here, she also saluted and said: "The concubine will not disturb my sister's rest, I will leave first." After saying that, she left the palace gate.

Finally, there were only two people left, Song Chen embraced her, kissed the beauty on the forehead, and said: "I was tired all day yesterday, I worked hard."

She snuggled into the man's arms and shook her head with a smile, but she was thinking about the frightening scene just now.

After the child was born, even though she was a daughter, she still had to guard against that vicious woman. Although the current wet nurse was chosen by the Queen Mother, just to be on the safe side, she had to arrange a few of her own people around the child so that she could rest assured.
