The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 99

Since then, the queen has become a useless person who can't even get out of her own palace, and Chu Xue is still recovering and needs to rest. When Li Jiaoyun, who was ordered in danger, returned to the palace, many complicated affairs rushed over, causing her to be busy until the next day. , I finally had time to go to Yufu Palace.

Li Jiaoyun is a delicate person, knowing that Le'er was taken to Funing Palace, Chu Xue's mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for a few days, so when they went to Funing Palace to pay their respects, they asked the Queen Mother's permission to bring Le'er with them , although Leer is lively and active on weekdays, when she sees her favorite sister Song Ning, she immediately calms down, clings to her sister like a little tail, and follows her sister's example, but is also well-behaved.

On that day, Chu Xue pushed herself to go to Fengyi Palace. Although physically, she was a little risky, but in Song Chen's eyes, her frail appearance was even more distressing. Her own questioning also left Xu Jinhe no room for change. .

No matter what, hitting Xu Jinhe to this level is already considered a great victory, as for the rest, we can wait until she recovers.Besides, with two disciples of genius doctors by her side, it would not be a problem for her to recover as before.

Here she had just swallowed the bitter medicine, when she heard the laughter in the yard, the voices of the little girls were like silver bells, and her joy kept calling her mother.

Surprised, she hurriedly asked someone to open the door.

Sure enough, Li Jiaoyun brought the two sisters Song Ning and Song Le in.

"mother!"

As soon as Xiao Le'er saw her mother, she opened her little hands and threw herself into her arms.

Chu Xue, who was still on the couch, hugged the little guy into her arms, kissed him a few times, and then greeted Li Jiaoyun with a smile.Li Jiaoyun saluted her, saw that the palace was full of close court ladies, so she hurried forward to take care of her, said: "We returned to the palace yesterday, and we only have time to come to see my sister this morning, sister, don't blame me."

"Sister, what are you talking about?" Chu Xue hurriedly said: "I am like this now, and all the burdens fall on you, but I am very sorry."

As he spoke, he asked someone to show Li Jiaoyun's mother and daughter a seat.

The sisters began to speak intimate words.

Seeing Le'er keep making trouble on Chu Xue, Song Ning said solemnly: "Sister, your mother is not feeling well, you have to sit on the side obediently, and you can't make trouble with mother."

"Oh." Hearing what her sister said, Le'er hurriedly got off her mother and sat down obediently by the bed.

Seeing Le'er listening to her sister like this, Chu Xue smiled and sighed with Li Jiaoyun, "Le'er, a savage little princess, only listens to Ningning's words in this palace." She looked at Song Ning again, and said in a harmonious voice: "In the future Can Ningning help my aunt to teach my younger sister well?"

Song Ning nodded seriously.

Li Jiaoyun asked Chu Xue, "Is my sister feeling better?"

"It's much better, I'm sorry for my sister." Chu Xue smiled slightly.

Then Xiao Songning tilted her head and asked, "Auntie, I heard from them that you used to have a little brother in your stomach, but now it's gone. Is it true?"

Li Jiaoyun's face suddenly changed.She was worried that Song Ning's question would make Chu Xue sad, so she hurriedly said, "Ning Ning, where did you hear such words?"

Seeing her mother suddenly become fierce, Song Ning was extremely wronged, she blinked her eyes and curled her lips and said: "Those maids said..."

Li Jiaoyun hurriedly apologized to Chu Xue, and said seriously: "Sister, don't be offended, I will punish those who talk badly when I go back."

"It's okay, sister." Chu Xue smiled lightly, and persuaded her instead, "Ningning is right, don't blame her."

Li Jiaoyun sighed softly, and comforted her: "Sister, don't be sad, you are still young, and the child will come back, the most important thing now is to take care of your body first. The emperor loves you so much, other things are not difficult."

Li Jiaoyun had only returned to the palace yesterday, and Yuzhu, who stayed in the palace to watch the house, had already reported to her all the major events in the womb these days, including the execution of Concubine Li and Xu Jinhe's seizure of power because of her miscarriage.

Once such a thing happened, everyone inside and outside the palace could see how angry Song Chen was at Chu Xue's injury.

And this kind of comfort is not something that everyone can have.

"Yeah." Chu Xue lowered her eyes and stroked Kongkong's lower abdomen.

Things have come to this point, she has to fight for some things if she doesn't want to, so the most important thing right now is to give birth to a prince as soon as possible.

Thinking of the long and heavy responsibilities that lie ahead, it's not like she can't feel tired.But maybe these things were already doomed the moment she met Song Chen.Just like Song Chen who was on the way to seize the throne, she has no choice.

I haven't seen Le'er for a few days. Chu Xue thought hard. Although she shouldn't be tired, she still lifted the little girl into her arms and loved her. The little girl also wanted to kiss her mother. The mother and daughter hugged each other The scene really made Song Ning, who was ignorant of the world, very happy.However, when Li Jiaoyun saw it, she felt uncomfortable. When the mother and daughter separated, she said softly, "Thank you, sister."

Chu Xue was startled, and looked up at her. When she saw the sincerity in Li Jiaoyun's eyes, she suddenly realized that many years ago, when Li Jiaoyun was the only side concubine in the palace, her life should have been even more difficult.

Chu Xue said softly, "My sister must have suffered more grievances in the past!"

Li Jiaoyun shook her head, and waited for the mist in her eyes to dissipate, before saying: "It's all over, now she gets what she deserves, even if God has eyes. Let's live our lives well from now on!"

Chu Xue nodded, looked at the sunshine outside the window, and said: "We should live our lives well. But she deserves more than that. There are many debts, which have not been settled yet!"

Li Jiaoyun followed her gaze, and saw a wintersweet tree in the yard outside the window, in full bloom.

A few days after Song Chen returned to the palace, it was the Shangyuan Festival.

Although some unpleasant things happened in the harem, this year has had an excellent start in terms of the previous dynasty. The emperor personally conquered Beihu and took Beihu into the country in one fell swoop. This can definitely be called a great joy, so Well, this year's Shangyuan Palace banquet will not only be held as usual, but also more festive and lively.

It was half past midnight when night fell, and the exquisite palace lanterns hanging everywhere in the palace swayed gently with the night wind.

The officials in the Qingde Hall have arrived, and when everyone is neatly seated and the music starts, the king will arrive.

After the three kneeling and nine bowing ceremonies, all the ministers were unavoidably surprised when they straightened up. Unlike in previous years, today I saw only the king sitting next to the two beauties, Concubine Rong and Concubine Ning. The scene is inevitably a little empty.

Well-informed and good-natured people naturally understand the reason. Concubine Yi Gui has not yet recovered from her miscarriage, Concubine Li died suddenly, the Queen was banned, and Concubine Wan is still banned. Is Second Concubine Ning already?

This obvious difference naturally stimulated some people. Compared with the unruly in the past, Pingnan Hou is extremely unhappy now. The seat next to the king originally belonged to his younger sister, which was the glory of their Xu family. From now on, my sister might not be able to sit there anymore.

Nephew Song Chi is only a young boy now, without a powerful mother in the palace, can he wait in peace until the time when he succeeds to the throne in the future?

There is also his father, Xu Mao, who has experienced this winter and his health is even worse. I really don't know if he can wait for the next winter. Judging from the current situation, if his father falls, he really doesn't know if he can successfully inherit the title...

Looking up and drinking a glass of strong wine, Xu Jilin secretly made up his mind that no matter what, Song Chi's position as the crown prince must not go wrong!
Due to the state's happy event, the atmosphere at the banquet was very lively. Song Chen put down his wine glass and said to Qin Mu who was sitting not far away: "This time I went to the northern border, I have made a lot of contributions, and even the leader of Eke is himself Bring it in front of me, and I made a promise in the camp that whoever kills Eke will get a thousand taels of gold, and when Nianxiu returns, I will order someone to personally deliver the reward to the mansion."

Qin Mu hurriedly got up and said: "I thank the emperor for the dog's kindness."

After saying that he wanted to kneel down and thank him, Song Chen hurriedly excused him.

Thinking of this, Song Chen asked again: "When was Nianxiu's marriage?"

Before Qin Mu could reply, Liang Xi who was beside Song Chen hurriedly said, "Return to Your Majesty, General Qin's wedding is on February 26, and there are still forty days left."

At last year's celebration banquet, the emperor personally told him that Liangxi knew the date clearly.

Qin Mu echoed, "Eunuch Liang is right."

Song Chen nodded, thought for a while and said, "It's really hard for him to go out twice in a row before marriage, but Anxihou can rest assured, it is estimated that in half a month, the handover will be completed at the northern border, and Nianxiu will not miss it again this time." It's wedding day."

Hearing the king's words, Qin Mu nodded in agreement, and Luo Shizhen beside him was also relieved.Years ago, the son-in-law-to-be was sent to go to the north, and his daughter, Luo Shu, cared so much for her. Their parents were also worried about Qin Yuan's safety, and worried that the delay of the war would delay the children's marriage again.

But you are not joking, now that Song Chen speaks like this, he must have received extremely reliable news. Luo Shizhen's heart is broken, thinking that after the palace banquet is over, he will hurry home and comfort his wife and daughter who are waiting for the letter.

Because Chu Xue was always in his heart, Song Chen hurried to Yufu Palace as soon as the one-and-a-half hour dinner was over.

After lying on the bed for a few days, Chu Xue's body was already much better, but because the medicine that Concubine Li brought was very strong, even if she didn't drink it, she still had to lie down for a few more days to look weak.So although she wanted to get out of bed and walk around, she still endured bed rest.

Although tonight is the New Year's Eve, Xu Jinhe's successor is already in name only, and Song Chen will never step into Fengyi Palace again, so Song Chen will definitely come, and she has been waiting patiently for him.

When Song Chen came in, he saw the beauty leaning against the bed and reading a book quietly.

"What are you looking at?" He asked softly.

Chu Xue put down her book, waited for him to approach with a smile, and asked, "The emperor is back so soon?"

"Well," he came to the bed and sat down, took her into his arms, and sighed, "It's still warm on your body." Then he picked up the book she had put down and asked, "I haven't answered you yet. What are you looking at?"

"It's the piano score!" She replied gently, "Le'er is not here for a while, and the concubine has a lot of free time, so I took out the old piano score and looked through it, worrying that I would forget it after a long time. "

He nodded and sighed: "It's been a long time since I heard you play the piano."

She stood up and looked at him with a smile, and said: "When the concubine recovers, I will give the emperor a good caress."

"It's a deal." He pinched her hand, kissed it lightly, and then remembered something, and said, "Your body is not well yet, this year's fireworks, even if I owe you first, wait until next year. I will definitely make up for it.”

Perhaps it was because she was hurt this time and he felt guilty. Chu Xue felt that since returning from the northern border, Song Chen had become more gentle to her. She leaned in his arms, smelling the light fragrance of his clothes and nodded slightly. , I heard him say again: "We will have many more children, and I will never let others hurt you again."

At that moment, my heart tightened, and tears suddenly wanted to gush out again.She felt so guilty, both to that child and to him.

But I'm sorry, she said in her heart, because I'm not just Chu Xue, I'm also Yue Wen, the daughter of the Yue family, I can't see a chance for revenge and let it slip away easily, otherwise, I really won't forgive myself.

I will make it up to you.

She raised her head, kissed him lightly, and said: "This concubine must take good care of her body and give birth to more children for the emperor. This concubine will always be with the emperor in this life and grow old together."

He gently wiped away the tears that slipped out of the corners of her eyes for her, kissed her forehead again, and repeated her words gently.

"To grow old and grow old together, it's a deal."
