Qing court ladies

Chapter 71
Suyue became pregnant again, which interrupted the trip back to Beijing. Kangxi let Suyue stay in Jiangnan, and everything was as before. Kangxi was busy with affairs, and he came to visit when he returned to Beijing. At that time, Suyue was suffering from morning sickness. But the state affairs were busy, and Su Yue urged Kangxi to make the trip. Kangxi only stayed for five days before returning to Beijing.This Suyue pregnancy was not as good as the previous one. The morning sickness lasted until April, and then it got better, but she lost a whole circle of weight, and her slightly distended belly looked extraordinarily big.Yinzhen stayed by his side all the time, he was more attentive than before, and the smile in his eyes was even bigger.

On the fifth day of September, Su Yue gave birth to her second son in the south of the Yangtze River. Kangxi had already named her Rui, which means peace, and her nickname was Mianmian.The moon came out on October [-]th, and on the eighth day of November, the group set off for Beijing.

The small courtyard in the Forbidden City is the same as before, Su Yue looked at Xiao Lizi and Gui An, feeling emotional in her heart, she said a thousand words, but after saying hello to each other, she left in a hurry.

That night, Su Yue was dressed in a white palace attire and a big cloak, hugging the stove, making tea absent-mindedly.

Gui'an came with Xiao You at night, and stood outside the door after the announcement, guarding the door.

Su Yue hurriedly handed the tea to Xiao You, opened the door and handed the stove to Gui An, and then sat back.

"The matter has been settled, you don't have to worry." Xiao You looked at the anxious Su Yue and hurriedly gave reassurance.

"My Ama, how is Er Niang?" Su Yue knew that with Xiao You, Yin Zhen and Kangxi taking care of her, there would be no troubles, but she was not sure. Besides, in order to avoid suspicion, Su Yue returned to the palace when she returned to Beijing. I feel guilty when I visit my parents.

"Your Excellency and Madam are very nice. Besides, there are four more people now. I'm afraid it will be more lively. You don't have to worry about it. Your Excellency also said that after a few days, you can come in and visit relatives after submitting your brochure. You will know when you see it." Busy For several days, Xiao You was also a little tired. If it wasn't for Su Yue's uneasiness, he wouldn't have bothered her so late.

Su Yue nodded and asked Xiao You to go to rest. In the past few days, Xiao You ran around the palace and outside the palace. Now that the dust has settled, she should also take a good rest.

Xiao You didn't refuse either, Su Yue watched the two people come and leave in a hurry before closing the door and sitting at the table in a daze.

In order to conceal Dudu and Mianmian's life experience, Xiaolan separated from them on the way. Aunt Xu accompanied her to Beijing all the time. Although Kangxi also sent someone in the dark, Suyue was always worried and always thought of her two sons. , are tears Lianlian.

Now Dudu and Mianmian are Xiaolan's sons, Xiaolan is naturally still her original background, but since Fujian, the latter has changed. Selling their bodies and being seen by Su Yue's mother, she softly took them in and regarded them as adoptions.Just like this, bring the four of them into the mansion, after two days, Ama Suyue will report the matter on the paper, at that time, Suyue will be able to see her again, although Suyue is not the master, but it is just a status That's it, Kangxi's favor for many years has already confirmed Suyue's status. Now that the two children are adopted under Suyue's name, they naturally want to see each other, but they don't do it with great fanfare like a concubine seeing her family. That's all.

Su Yue and her child have been separated for many days, and she misses her day and night, tossing and turning, wishing that today will be ready and they can see each other again.

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Kangxi decreed that Suyue's foot restraint was released, and she resumed serving in front of the imperial court. The harem, which had been silent for two years, was noisy again, and the noisy words did not reach Suyue's ears.

On the second day of junior high school, Kangxi decreed to give the names of the three sons adopted by Dutong Zhanglu under the name of Suyue. The eldest son Chengan, the second son Shan named Hao, and the youngest son Shan named Rui.

After two years of silence, Su Yue, who had already fallen out of favor and was banned, suddenly received such honor, which caused an uproar in the harem.

In the morning, Su Yue got up early to pack herself up and went to Qianqing Palace.

After Kangxi's early reign, Tongzhang Lu, the capital of Gyeonggi, was summoned to Dongnuange to meet him.

Sitting beside Kangxi, Su Yue looked anxious, she wanted to stand up several times to meet the door, but was held back by Kangxi.

"You are so restless, I think you might as well seal the position and raise Hao'er and Rui'er in the palace." Kangxi was also anxious in his heart, Dudu Kangxi had seen it before, but the second son Mianmian hadn't. At the beginning, when I heard that Suyue had fetal gas and gave birth prematurely, I was terrified. I was afraid that something would happen to their mother and child. Fortunately, everything went well.This is also the first time seeing Su Yue like this, so I inevitably feel nervous.

Su Yue was frightened by Kangxi's words, and she didn't dare to move, so she sat upright beside Kangxi, but the hand held by Kangxi was still trembling slightly.

"Du Tong Zhang Lu, bring your wife to see you" Li Dequan shouted outside the door, and several people came in and knelt down to pay their respects.

"Minister Zhang Lu, my concubine is Zhang Lu, I pay homage to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" Zhang Lu and his wife brought the Rong mother to kneel and salute with the child in their arms.

Kangxi called out, Suyue couldn't bear it any longer, broke away from Kangxi's hand, hugged Dudu who was beside Erniang, and kissed several times with joy on her face, "Duddu, I want to kill Erniang"

Dudu smiled and touched Suyue's face with her chubby hands, calling "Er Niang" in a childish voice

Su Yue almost burst into tears, she held Dudu and Mianmian in Nanny Rong's hand, and sat back beside Kangxi.

Kangxi hugged Dudu and said with a smile, "Duddu, it's called Ama"

Dudu looked at Kangxi suspiciously, then turned to look at Suyue, not knowing what to do.When Kangxi met Dudu back then, Dudu was only a few months old, so naturally he doesn't recognize him now.

Su Yue smiled and leaned over to kiss Dudu and said, "Duddu, quickly call Ama"

Dudu turned around and called out "Ama" in a childish voice

Kangxi laughed loudly, "Duddu, call Ama a few more times"

Dudu obeyed, every time he shouted, Kangxi smiled a little more, and kept kissing Dudu.

Su Yue put Mian Mian on the couch, hurriedly walked in front of Ama Erniang, and saluted, "Daughter apologizes, but she has never greeted Ama Erniang"

Zhang Lushi pulled Suyue up, his voice choked with sobs, "Silly boy, what are you talking about?"

Su Yue hugged Zhang Lushi tightly, looked at Nanny Rong with a smile, and saluted, "Thank you, Nanny, for being with my mother-in-law for so many years, so that mother-in-law won't be lonely."

Nanny Rong held Cheng'an with one hand, and Suyue with the other busyly, and said with a smile, "I should thank you, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be able to be with your mother-in-law, it gave me more family members, affection"

Su Yue smiled, squatted down and looked at Cheng An, "Cheng An, do you miss Auntie?"

Cheng An nodded, his face was full of smiles.Su Yue reached out to touch Cheng An's face, pulled Cheng An to sit on the couch, and gave Cheng An the cakes on the table.

"Sit down, you don't need to be formal today." Kangxi looked at Suyue who was busy, but Zhang Lu and the others were not placed, and said.

After the three thanked each other, they sat down on the chairs that had been prepared.

Kangxi put Dudu by his side, gave Dudu the pastries, and then turned to talk to Zhang Lu, "You are my father-in-law, you have raised a good daughter, and now she has given birth to two such lovely princes for me. I am still entrusted to you to raise, my gratitude is beyond words, I can only express my gratitude here.”

Zhang Lu hurriedly got up, "I dare not, the emperor Long En"

Kangxi smiled and waved his hand to signal Zhang Lu to sit down, "Today is not the court, so there is no need to be like this." Then he said, "I am grateful in my heart, but I can't give you the honor of the head of the country, and I can't promote you. It's just that a thank you is too small. In my heart sorry"

Zhang Lu got up slightly, then sat down, with a sincere and fearful face, "I am so grateful for the emperor's favor to my family, I really dare not be the emperor to say this, I am terrified"

Kangxi wanted to say something else, but Suyue hugged Mianmian and showed it to Kangxi, "Long live Lord, you haven't seen Mianmian yet, you just keep watching it, we will be angry."

Kangxi took Mianmian and teased the baby in the swaddle, Mianmian was no different than Dudu, Dudu was born, and after a few days, she became white and fat, and her back became more and more chubby.Mianmian was thinner when she was born, and after raising her these days, she looks a little smaller than Dudu at the beginning, she really looks like she was born prematurely, her big black eyes are exactly the same as Dudu.

"Ama, Erniang, nanny, you can use some refreshments, this is what you like to eat." Su Yue put the things in their hands, Su Yue didn't want Kangxi to affect them, so she let Kangxi look at Mianmian, Kangxi's words, Su Yue Yue knew it was true, but in the eyes of Ama Suyue, maybe it was different, Suyue didn't want her Ama to feel bad.

Zhang Lu was busy holding tea, and Zhang Lu and Nanny Rong also started to use pastries.Su Yue sat back on the other side of the couch, put Du Du in her arms beside Cheng An, and ate cakes.

"Ama, how is Xiaolan at home, did Dudu and Mianmian make trouble with you?" Su Yue wiped Dudu's mouth and gave Chengan some tea.

"Xiao Lan is very good, the children are also very good, and they are not afraid of strangers, just like you when you were a child." Zhang Lu put down his tea and talked with Su Yue with a smile.

Su Yue's face flushed, when she came here with memories, she naturally didn't look like a child, "Ama, your daughter is so cute"

Kangxi raised his head and asked Zhang Lu, "She was like Hao'er when she was young."

Zhang Lu cupped his hands, "Go back to Long Live Lord, Yue'er has been skinny since she was a child, and now Hao'er is less than one-tenth of her"

Kangxi laughed and glanced at Suyue, "From this point of view, Hao'er and Rui'er will not be too quiet in the future."

Zhang Lu hurriedly responded, "Yes, but looking at the appearance of Hao'er and Rui'er, it must not be too skinny. I think it must be that Long Live was quiet when he was young."

"Like me, if both of you are too skinny, you can't be quiet." Kangxi was extremely proud, and stood up holding Mianmian, but Mianmian was too small to stand firmly, only limp.

"Of course it's good to be like Long Live Lord. In the future, he will be both civil and military, smart and wise. If he is as dull as me and can only play around, how will he ask for a wife in the future?" Su Yue touched Dudu's round cheeks and teased.

Kangxi laughed, and Li Dequan announced from outside the door, "Long live, the crown prince, Prime Minister Suo, Lord Tong, and Lord Fei Yanggu are waiting in front of the palace."

Su Yue hurriedly seized this opportunity and asked Kangxi to leave. Kangxi thought that he really had something to deal with, so after a few instructions, he left early and went to the main hall.Su Yue led her family back to her small courtyard through the ear room.

At this moment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Qing Mei was busy with the ceremony, pouring tea, preparing snacks, then closed the door and stood guard outside.
