Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 140

"Of course I understand, it's just that sometimes it's hard to get over it, even now it's a group of people who are friendly and occasionally joke out of malicious intentions." The second lady smiled calmly and frankly, "Explaining this to my sister-in-law will make me feel more at ease. "

Ye Xizhao couldn't help but think of the words that the second wife made fun of the third wife when Fang Fei got married, and only then did he know the reason.At that time, it was only thought that the two of them talked too casually after getting along for a long time, but only now did they realize that the second wife's words were not unintentional.It is conceivable that the second bedroom and the third bedroom actually have a disagreement between faces and hearts for a period of time. I don't know how many times that kind of thing happened.But that kind of calculation is better than nothing after all. It can be seen that the second lady is really not in the heart of competing with others, so she immediately smiled in relief.

On the morning of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Qiao An's personal maid Jixiang came to send a message: Qiao An started labor pains last night and is about to give birth.

Ye Xizhao began to fidget after hearing the news, for fear that Qiao An would make a mistake during childbirth—after all, in her personal experience, the process of childbirth only meant danger, blood, and life and death.She was as afraid of Qiao An as she was from the bottom of her heart, and she also hoped that Qiao An's mother and child would be safe from the bottom of her heart.She never worshiped the Buddha, but she wanted to go to the Bodhisattva to pay her respects.

At that time, Jixiang came to tell the good news by the order of Xiao Xun and Qiao An: Qiao An gave birth to a son, and the mother and child were safe.

Only then did Ye Xizhao feel relieved, and took a long breath.

When having lunch, Yu Shaoheng came back, and seeing Ye Xizhao looked a little tired, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Ye Xizhao then talked about the happy event in the Xiao Mansion, and finally said: "It's inevitable that I'm a little worried."

"Really?" Yu Shaoheng was also happy for Xiao Xun from the bottom of his heart, "In the past, that guy cared about Miss Xin the most, but now he finally has a child of his own, so he can pamper him as much as he wants." Afterwards, he still cared about Ye Xizhao's fatigue, "Is there anything wrong with you?"

"No." Ye Xizhao waved his hands and smiled, "It's normal to give birth for a few hours, but because of the relationship between me and Qiao An, I have an extra worry."

Hsinchu listened from the side, raised his eyebrows secretly, and said to himself how long is three or two hours?It is already unbearable for ordinary people... Madam said it was normal... Then I thought that Madam was tossed for more than three or two hours during childbirth, and I was relieved.

But Yu Shaoheng didn't know these details at all. The only thing he could understand was that Ye Xizhao went through a long time of suffering and the ensuing hardships when he gave birth to Sister Xin. took Ye Xizhao's hand.

Ye Xizhao just responded with a heartless smile, and picked up a few chopsticks for him in the bowl, "Eat quickly, why is it less worry-free than Miss Xin?"

Only then did Yu Shaoheng realize that his treasure was missing from the dining table, "Miss Xin is asleep?"

"Can she sleep at this time?" Ye Xizhao raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's no wonder. In the mother's room, she likes mother to feed her. It's not like you don't know."

Yu Shaoheng couldn't help laughing, "Is there any way, mother is willing to accommodate her, she can feed her a spoonful of food three or five times, but you don't have that patience."

"...." Ye Xizhao couldn't deny this point.

Yu Shaoheng scratched her nose with his hand, "No wonder, you are still a child at heart, and it is reasonable that you can't coax Miss Xin."

Ye Xizhao raised his eyebrows again, and then became depressed, "You can think what you want, anyway, you and mother are indeed better at coaxing sister Xin than me." But he said in his heart: It is clear that his daughter was spoiled by him and Mrs. Tai Of course, I can't do anything better, and I can't help but reprimand or ignore some willful demands of Sister Xin... Even knowing that restraint is useless, in the end, it's because she doesn't know what to do.However, she still wants to let sister Xin know right from wrong since she was a child, so that she will not become another self-willed and single-minded self.

For her, the meaning of life inheritance is to try to avoid repeating the wrong paths and mistakes she has taken.

This year, the emperor gave himself and his courtiers a long vacation from New Year's Eve to the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.What I know is that the emperor wants to spend more time with the empress dowager, his wife and children after years of hard work, but I don't know but I think that this is a bad start for the emperor to neglect government affairs.Fortunately, the emperor Zhong Liye is very generous, you can say whatever you like, even if he guesses or hears it, he doesn't take it seriously, and all the memorials sent to him during the New Year's Day that veiled him for being lazy are treated as Did not see.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Ye Xizhao and Yu Shaoheng went to the palace to pay New Year's greetings as usual.

Ye Xizhao and Mrs. Tai have not entered the palace to see each other since the good news from Yu Shaoyun.Because Yu Shaoyun is no longer what he used to be, some dispensable scruples are taken more seriously.

Today's Yu Shaoyun has a big belly, but his face is not as round as when he was pregnant with the prince, he is still as thin as usual, with a pointed chin.

When Mrs. Tai met Ye Xizhao, she was very uneasy. She didn't know whether Yu Shaoyun was too sick at the moment, or it was caused by hard work and worry.

After meeting the wives, Yu Shaoyun didn't care about anything, left his seat, and ordered Mrs. Tai and Ye Xizhao to speak in the side hall one after another.She has always known how to control some proportions, but for her natal family, she also understands that she can do what she wants when she should, and it would be abnormal to take too much into account.

When Yu Shaoyun talked to Mrs. Tai, he naturally followed the precedent, reporting good news but not worrying. Regarding that she was pregnant but thin, she only used the naughty child in her belly as an excuse not to let her live safely. .

Regarding the daughter she was most worried about, Madam Tai guessed too much, even if she couldn't believe it completely, at least she would half believe it, so that she would not be full of worries and worries.

When Yu Shaoyun was talking to Ye Xizhao, she told Ye Xizhao of another situation. She said calmly: "In the palace, it is actually similar to the inner house of the rich family. The harem is just a division of wives and concubines. I am a concubine When I got to the main room, this kind of main room is in a dilemma between the queen mother, the emperor, and the concubines. The queen mother wants the emperor's heirs to prosper, and the concubines want to have children for the emperor, so the emperor treats me a little bit Sincerity, how long can it last? Besides, Yu and Qin can see that even if they are fools, they are fighting openly and secretly. The more fierce the fight, the more at ease the emperor will be. I think my sister-in-law has heard that the emperor treats Concubine Shu now. Whether it's true or false, it's very important—the thing about teasing Concubine Shu with a fake pregnancy will never happen again—Concubine Shu has a happy pulse now, and the emperor asked me to take care of it with all my strength."

When Ye Xizhao heard this, his smile was a little forced, "In the deep palace, only women suffer."

"Isn't it?" Yu Shaoyun's smile was chilling, "Some people, after all, still value the world the most. For this world, he can pay anyone." After that, the voice became a little ironic, "If you regard him as the person next to you, you are wrong. Therefore, no matter what, don't regard him as an in-law. You should always be on guard against it."

Ye Xizhao naturally understood the deep meaning of these words and nodded knowingly.

Yu Shaoyun sighed softly, and put his bare hands on his swollen abdomen. The irony in his smile and voice became stronger: "I am pregnant with Liujia myself, and I have to ensure that other people's fetuses are safe... I don't know what this is Reasonable! But, he wants to relax during the New Year's Eve, and he also uses the excuse of being with me and the prince..." After pondering for a moment, he said in a low voice, "He really has a wolf's heart!"

There is probably only one Yu Shaoyun who dares to question and scold the emperor like this, and there is only one Yu Shaoyun who doesn't feel grateful for the emperor's favor at one time, right?

Yu Shaoyun didn't wait for Ye Xizhao to speak, then smiled again: "It's just a few complaints with my sister-in-law, don't worry about it. What should I do, I still do it, just like you, either for the family, or for the people next to me, there are some things Even if you don’t want to, you still have to do it.”

"Don't worry, I know what should be said and what should not be said." Ye Xizhao gave him a smile, "Don't worry too, Master Hou is very clear about your situation, and so is the Hou Mansion. Anyone will do it for you." It is for you and the prince to plan everything."

"I understand." Yu Shaoyun's smile was gratified and sad, "I didn't understand that I have such a family, and now I have no strength to support it."

These words made Ye Xizhao feel unbearably sad, and couldn't help but wet the corners of his eyes.

This sentimental feeling could not fade away after Li Gong returned to the Hou Mansion.But regarding this matter, she understood that what Yu Shaoheng could do was to protect Yu Shaoyun in all aspects, but it could not guarantee Yu Shaoyun's peace and happiness.And Mrs. Tai is the same as her, all she can do is miss her family members in the palace every day, and sigh for the joy of her situation.Therefore, she can only enjoy what she thinks alone, without letting anyone find out.

This is the case for families that place too much emphasis on family and brotherhood. When relatives receive honors, it is difficult to be happy about them. What is full of concern is the sadness that requires relatives to pay behind the honor...

This world is still too hurtful after all.

In this world, the Ninth Five-Year Lord is still chilling.An emperor who is too good at not letting women down, and who values ​​love and righteousness, is not made to be a wise king-after all, it is definitely not lucky for any woman to meet such a man.

That's why, amidst the hustle and bustle of the new year, the emperor in the nine palaces often lingers in Ye Xizhao's heart.Over time, because of the empress, he felt a bit of resentment towards the emperor, but because of this, he became more sober and rational, and less unreasonable awe.

On the fourth day of the lunar new year, it began to snow heavily from the time of Chou, and it didn't stop until the morning.

After Yu Shaoheng and Ye Xizhao took Sister Xin to say hello, they chatted and laughed with Mrs. Tai.At this time, the housekeeper of the other courtyard in the suburbs came to announce the good news: the Mei Hualin in the backyard of the other courtyard did not bloom all winter, and after the heavy snow, they were all in full bloom in the morning. The situation was unprecedented and amazing.

Mrs. Tai and Ye Xizhao were overjoyed when they heard this, and ordered their servant girls to reward them.

Yu Shaoheng had a suggestion at this time: "Mother, why don't we go to the other courtyard on the outskirts of the city to enjoy the plum blossoms in the afternoon, and come back in three or two days."

When Ye Xizhao heard what he said, he didn't take it seriously at first, but then he thought that in his eyes, the sights worth admiring must have something remarkable, so he had some expectations.

Mrs. Tai looked at the couple, pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "I won't go. I have time to appreciate plum blossoms. I would rather coax sister Xin. How about this, you go to another hospital for three to five days and stay at home It's just welcoming and seeing off, instead, it's better to steal a few days of leisure. You and Xi Zhao have been busy for a whole year, so it's time to rest for a few days. Besides, Xi Zhao hasn't been to that other courtyard yet. , at this time, you accompany her to see the beauty of two thousand plums blooming together."

Ye Xizhao couldn't help sighing, "Two thousand plums?!"

Mrs. Tai smiled and nodded, "It's absolutely true, otherwise Shao Heng wouldn't be willing to go, and I wouldn't even want you to see it."

"That won't work either..." Ye Xizhao glanced at Sister Xin who was concentrating on playing Jiulianhuan, "Let's go, Sister Xin...."

Mrs. Tai laughed out loud, "Sister Xin doesn't like you taking care of her the most, do I need to say this? Shao Heng doesn't need to mention it, these days he always sees Sister Xin once every seven or eight days— — Sister Xin can't live without me every day, but I'm the only one."

"..." Ye Xizhao had no way to deny it, only silence.

Yu Shaoheng smiled and said, "It's better for mother to go with us." Naturally, he would still like the family to get together on such a day.

"What I say now, do you have the right to ignore it?" Mrs. Tai deliberately put on a straight face, "If you want you to go, just go. Before you come back, don't forget to go to the temple near the other courtyard to burn incense and give it to me. Just ask sister Xin and Brother Hao for a safe talisman and come back."

The husband and wife discussed with Mrs. Tai for a while, but in the end they couldn't go against Mrs. Tai's good intentions, so they agreed with a smile and promised to go back quickly.

Afterwards, Yu Shaoheng called the housekeeper to him and asked Ye Xizhao to explain all the things in the next few days. The housekeeper naturally took notes one by one to ensure that there would be no mistakes.

Because of this, Ye Xizhao felt relieved, and when she thought of Sister Xin, she smiled wryly - her daughter doesn't depend on her, but it doesn't mean she can be sure that she can bear not seeing her daughter for a few days.Thinking back on this incident, I really don't know how the matter of going to another hospital has become an imperative thing, but I also understand that Mrs. Tai has good intentions and wants her to relax after a long busy life. Therefore, I also accept it from the bottom of my heart.

The servants took care of everything. Before Yu Shaoheng and Ye Xizhao set off, Jia Nian came to report an incident from the palace—on such a festive day, under the instruction of the queen mother, the emperor wanted to pay for Tang Hong. Laughing and giving marriage, the chosen woman is Jing Zhiran, the eldest daughter of Marquis Dingyuan.

Yu Shaoheng and Ye Xizhao looked at each other at the same time, and after a while, Yu Shaoheng asked: "In your opinion, is Tang Hongxiao accepting the order to thank you, or is he refusing to obey?"
