Aijia Kefu: Your Majesty, please avoid

Chapter 69
After dawn, he set off to return to the palace, and everything seemed to be back on track.

It's just that this exhaustion made everyone a little tired, and everyone in the palace was listless for several days.

Su Qingyuan even drank the medicine for several days in a row, so scared that Lu Li almost killed the imperial physician.

Fortunately, it survived in the end.

Su Qingyuan looked at her increasingly round waist, and gradually felt a strange softness in her heart.

This little guy also had a very ill-fated life, and encountered so many troubles before he was born.

But it actually survived.Perhaps, this child is really destined to be with her?

Thinking of this, I also faintly looked forward to it.The previous conflicts and worries were gradually covered up.

However, new troubles soon appeared.

Every time Su Qingyuan thought that this child would not be able to be kept by her side after birth, Su Qingyuan felt a heart-wrenching pain.

How can you be willing to raise your own child for others?

Moreover, Qingluan is obviously no longer suitable to be the mother of a child.

How to solve this matter, I'm afraid it will take a lot of thinking in the future!
Su Qingyuan sits by the stove every day, and has a lot of time to think about it.

It has been five or six days since he returned to the palace, and Su Qingluan still hasn't woken up.

Seeing that there was no reliable person to take care of Yanxi Palace, Su Qingyuan arranged for Shuxing to go there.

Shuxing seemed unwilling, but he did not refuse in person.

It was Danyue who was unfair for her, and complained a few words in front of Su Qingyuan.

Su Qingyuan didn't care about it, and didn't intend to explain.

Fortunately, Luoxia is still considerate, comforting Danyue for her, and restraining the palace people, this Fanghua Palace is still as kind as before.

One night, there was a heavy snowfall.

The next day, it was past noon, and Su Qingyuan still refused to get up.

Luoxia brought Tongyun and a few little girls to sit around the room, talking with them to relieve boredom.

On the contrary, Danyue was a little lazy and refused to move forward.

When Luoxia saw her, she deliberately started the conversation and said with a smile: "That day in the cemetery, thanks to Miss Danyue's vigilance, otherwise both of us would have fallen into the hands of thieves, and the empress didn't even have a voice to help." Already!"

Danyue said coldly: "What are you afraid of? Our master is very capable, there is no need for us to help!"

Luoxia smiled and said: "That's not what I said. You and I have experienced first-hand how thorough the thieves' arrangements were that day! The two of us had already prepared ourselves in our hearts, but we still fell into their trap in the middle. I was taken away by them before I even had time to call out to the empress—if I didn’t escape in the end, they might be used to deal with the empress, and the consequences would be unimaginable!”

Danyue glanced at Su Qingyuan: "What are you afraid of? Isn't our empress already prepared? Concubine Shu has not made a move yet, and empress has already anticipated all possible things, even how we can escape from the thieves' hands." It's been arranged... with such a scheming master, what else do we have to worry about?"

Luoxia looked helpless, and smiled apologetically at Su Qingyuan.

Danyue lowered her head, fiddling with a Guanyin pocket she was sewing in her hand, but didn't move the needle or thread.

Luoxia had no choice but to sigh again: "We've made it through now, I just feel sorry for that silly girl Xiaozhi... I heard that the little eunuchs didn't drag her down the mountain at all, and dug her up randomly under the trees halfway up the mountain. A hole is buried..."

Danyue sneered disdainfully: "What's so pitiful about that kind of person? It's just a fool who helps the evildoers! When we were in the mansion, our mother treated her well, but now she hurts people, but she doesn't care at all. unambiguous!"

Luoxia got up and walked over, and sat down beside her: "In the past, Xiaozhi followed Concubine Shu to come here so many times, I always thought she was a very kind and well-mannered little girl, I didn't expect..."

"Who says it's not? It's true that you know people and faces but don't know your heart!" Danyue became more and more angry as she thought about it.

Luoxia took her hand and said with a smile: "Yeah, you know people, you don't know your heart, you look at her kindly, how do you know that her heart is the same as yours? We have to be fair when we follow the master." You can only do your own job, how can you vent your anger on the sake of others and the master?"

Danyue stayed for a long time, then raised her head: "But Shuxing is different from Xiaozhi!"

"What's different?" Luoxia asked back.

Danyue couldn't answer, she stared at Su Qingyuan: "Shu Xing, she..."

Su Qingyuan smiled and shook her head: "Sparse Xinggen twigs are different."

"Of course it's not the same. If it's the same, you'd have cut her off!" Danyue curled her lips and sneered.

Su Qingyuan was a little helpless.

This girl is more difficult to serve than a master when she is playing with her temper!
Lu Li opened the door and came in. Seeing Su Qingyuan's frowning expression, he immediately became nervous: "Who made you angry again?"

"I'm the empress dowager, who dares to make me angry?" Su Qingyuan raised her head and smiled at him with a naughty look.

The little girls in the room disappeared in an instant.

Lu Li crawled onto the bed, but Su Qingyuan immediately dodged and shrank to the corner of the wall: "You're freezing to death, go and bake!"

"You despise me so much..." Lu Li looked aggrieved.

But he obediently retreated to the stove, peeled an orange and put it on the shelf next to it to warm it.

Su Qingyuan leaned on the pillow and looked at him with a smile.

Lu Li quickly posted it again, and stuffed the orange into Su Qingyuan's hand: "Are you going to lie down like this all day?"

"Otherwise?" Su Qingyuan asked back.

"It's snowing so deep outside." Lu Li's tone was regretful.

Su Qingyuan sighed: "Yes, it's very deep snow... But I can't play anymore."

Lu Li saw a wintersweet offering in the jade vase by the bed, took it over to look at it for a while, and said with a smile, "This is the first wintersweet flower this year, right? Your girl is smart, and got it here for you early in the morning." coming!"

"Why, do you feel bad for a flower?" Su Qingyuan leaned on his shoulder and asked with her eyes wide open.

Lu Li denied it again and again: "How dare you! Even if you move the entire imperial garden here, I can only applaud!"

Su Qingyuan glanced at the plum blossom, and sighed: "I'm an ordinary person, I don't understand the character of plum blossoms, or the nobility of orchids. Qingluan has always liked plum blossoms, but it's a pity that she can't see them now."

Lu Li frowned, and said after a long time, "The imperial doctor said that her poison has been almost cured, and she should wake up in two or three days."

Su Qingyuan stuffed the remaining two oranges into his mouth: "It's too sweet, it's not tasty."

Lu Li was stunned for a moment, then suddenly overjoyed: "Do you like sour food?"

Su Qingyuan gave him a blank look.

Lu Li held her hand and smiled silly: "I heard people say that those who like sour food will have sons!"

"Whether I have a son or not has anything to do with me?" Su Qingyuan shook off his hand, angrily.

Lu Li was baffled by her disturbance, and it took him a while to ask tentatively, "You... like your daughter? In fact, her daughter is also pretty good, like you, pretty."

These words were quite standard, but Su Qingyuan was even more angry: "What does my daughter have to do with me? It's my child in the stomach, and it's someone else's when it falls to the ground!"

Lu Li finally understood the reason for her anger, and hurriedly patted her comfortingly: "I have made up my mind, after the child is born, he will be raised in the Fanghua Palace. He will tell the outside world that his mother is not in good health and it is not convenient to take care of her."

"Isn't that someone else's child? When he grows up, how dare you let him call me 'mother'?" Su Qingyuan was still angry.

Lu Li had no choice.

The more Su Qingyuan thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and her mood, which was not bad at first, suddenly turned into a mess.

At this time, Luoxia's voice suddenly shouted from outside: "Princess Jingmin came in!"

Startled, Lu Li hurriedly stood up.

Su Qingyuan lost her support, her heart was empty, and she became more and more unhappy.

Before Luoxia finished speaking, Princess Jingmin had already barged in, laughing loudly, "Haha, I knew the emperor's brother must be here!"

"Can't you honestly wait for someone to inform you?" Lu Lizheng suffocated and couldn't help shouting.

Princess Jingmin immediately pursed her lips aggrievedly: "I'm not an outsider..."

Lu Li sighed, and asked patiently, "Why are you here?"

Princess Jingmin rushed over and hugged Su Qingyuan's shoulders: "Come to find the queen mother for a snowball fight! Those girls are more useless than one another. Looking at the capital, only the queen mother can fight with me!"

Su Qingyuan shuddered, and couldn't help but tighten her brows.

Lu Li's face immediately turned cold: "The coldness of your body... Hurry up and let the Queen Mother go, and go to the stove to warm up!"

"I don't!" Princess Jingmin put a sticker on Su Qingyuan's body, wanting to get under her blanket.

Lu Li couldn't bear it anymore, he lifted her up: "If you are so indifferent, you won't be allowed to enter the palace anymore!"

Princess Jingmin staggered a bit before standing still, retreated to the fireside aggrievedly, and flattened her mouth: "The imperial decree has been issued, and now you are saying that I am not allowed to enter the palace, do you want me to be an old lady in the mansion forever?" ?”

"What decree?" Su Qingyuan frowned.

Princess Jingmin raised her head and said, "It's the imperial decree to make me a noble concubine!"

Su Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to force out a smile: "Look at yourself, how can you look like a noble concubine! Didn't the mothers in the palace come to your house to teach the rules?"

"It's too long-winded, who wants to learn those bad rules!" Princess Jingmin looked disapproving.

Su Qingyuan lowered her head and was bored for a while before asking: "Is the date of entering the palace fixed?"

Princess Jingmin smiled and came over again: "Hurry up, it will be the third day of the next month!"

Su Qingyuan avoided her hand and remained silent.

Lu Li carefully explained: "It's an arrangement from the Ministry of Rites. Since the sixth day is your birthday, they think adding a few people to the palace will make it more lively."

"Me? Birthday?" Su Qingyuan was stunned for a while, then smiled wryly.

She herself did not remember.

In the end, Princess Jingmin rubbed her face on the bed, hugged Su Qingyuan and said with a smile: "It turns out that the sixth day of the lunar new year is the Queen Mother's birthday, but I haven't had time to prepare the gift yet, what should I do?"

"It's the best congratulatory gift for you to come into the palace." Su Qingyuan said lightly.

Princess Jingmin laughed for a while, and leaned on Su Qingyuan's pillow: "It's a pity that there are not many concubines selected this time... I heard that the Ministry of Rites originally planned to directly select the nine concubines, but the emperor's brother refused, so... ..."

"So how many people came in on the third day?" Su Qingyuan raised her head and asked Lu Li.

Lu Li looked very embarrassed: "There are four of them including Lian Jingmin."

Princess Jingmin smiled and said: "My status is the highest! Below me is Ding Guogong's third young lady—she has always looked down on me as a crazy person, and in the end she wants to kneel down and salute me!"

Su Qingyuan frowned: "Miss Cheng San? That girl's character, talent and appearance, even if she is a queen, it's a pity."

Lu Li was already on the sidelines and was so anxious that he was on fire, but because Princess Jingmin was present, he didn't dare to say anything.

Su Qingyuan leaned against the bed and coughed twice, then waved her hands: "I'm a little tired, you guys go out and play."

Princess Jingmin was a little disappointed: "Aren't you going out with us? When I came over, I saw a large piece of snow where you didn't sweep, and it happened to be a snowball fight..."

Su Qingyuan shook her head, and said with a smile: "Well, I'm too old to play anymore."

Princess Jingmin let out a "chi" laugh, jumped out of bed and hugged Lu Li's arm, "Here we go again! Come on, I know you are acting like a queen dowager! Brother Emperor, let's go out and play!"

Lu Li subconsciously pushed her hand away, and when he looked up, Su Qingyuan had shrunk into the bed and turned around.

"Let's go!" Princess Jingmin was still urging.

Lu Li hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and walked out.

Princess Jingmin's laughter soon sounded in the corridor.

Fortunately, they didn't make trouble in the yard in the end, and went out without knowing where they went.

Luoxia hurried in, added some charcoal to the stove, and said with a smile: "Jingmin Princess is innocent, the emperor has to coax her, empress, don't worry."

Su Qingyuan sat up slowly: "Come out for a walk with me."

"It's cold outside..." Luoxia hesitated.

Su Qingyuan said lightly: "I'm not that delicate."

Luoxia couldn't beat her.

Wearing a thick snow coat and standing on the porch, the cold air still creeps up from the soles of my feet.

Su Qingyuan deliberately went out to step on the snow, listening to the "creaking" sound, she walked faster and faster.

Luoxia was so frightened that she was out of her wits, she stretched out her hand beside her all the way, for fear that she would stumble and fall.

Su Qingyuan stepped on the snow all the way out the door, and walked in the direction of Yingyue Lake.

"Your Majesty, the road over there is full of rocks, and it's more slippery than flat ground when it freezes. Let's move to another place..." Luoxia followed behind, persuading her earnestly.

It was Danyue who yelled a few times behind, and Su Qingyuan paused.

Luoxia hurriedly followed her up to support her, and when she had time, she turned back and asked the little eunuch to prepare ashes and sprinkle them on the ground.

Seeing the nervous appearance of the two girls, Su Qingyuan felt a little apologetic.

She was escorted by two maids and eunuchs all the way, Su Qingyuan's trip was quite a battle.

The scenery beside Yingyue Pool is indeed better than other places.

The rockery, trees, small bridges, and pavilions by the pool are all inlaid with a layer of white lace, which looks very lively and interesting.

The large, flat surface of the pool inlaid in this picture scroll is like the blank space in a landscape painting, and also like the place left for ink on the flower paper—it is so white and pure that it makes one's heart itch.

Su Qingyuan stepped on the smooth rocks and walked carefully to the edge of the pool.

The ice surface is not too thick, and it shakes when the toes touch it. Obviously, it cannot bear the weight of a person.

This is more or less disappointing.

Su Qingyuan frowned, Luoxia rushed over and grabbed her wrist: "Mother, the floor is slippery, let's sit in the pavilion..."

Before he finished speaking, a loud laugh suddenly sounded on the path over there: "Oh, the empress dowager is in a good mood today—is she waiting for me?"

There was no one else besides Duan Ran with this mean voice.

Su Qingyuan held Luoxia's hand and slowly walked up from the pool.

Duan Ran saluted with a smile: "It's the first day after the snow, and it's time to go out. It's a pity that everyone else is in pairs, even the sparrows on the pond are playing together, but the empress dowager is lonely and desolate... Sigh , It's really heartbreaking!"

Su Qingyuan rolled his eyes at him: "Mr. Duan left his official errand and wandered around in the harem. Could it be that he wants to gather a 'shuangshuang pair' in the palace?"

Duan Ran leaned on the artificial rock with his hands in his hands, and said with a smile: "If it wasn't for a legitimate errand, who would want to run into this deserted palace city? Look, there is not even a young and beautiful maid in this palace! Look at the palace Inside the wall, the only one who can be called a "beauty" is you, the empress dowager—I would like to make a "double pair", but I am afraid that you will not agree to the empress dowager!"

Su Qingyuan glanced at him from the corner of her eyes: "It's not that I don't want to, it's that you don't dare."

"Why don't I dare..." Duan Ran retorted instinctively, but his heart was filled with emptiness.

The consequences of Mr. Duan becoming angry from embarrassment are very serious.

He narrowed his eyes, leaned close to Su Qingyuan's ear and whispered, "When you speak in this tone, it must be that Lu Li didn't take good care of you... Now that he wants to avoid people's eyes and ears, I'm afraid he will rarely have time to talk to you. close?"

Su Qingyuan frowned, and took two steps back in discomfort.

Luoxia hurriedly helped her stand still, and gave Duan Ran a warning look.

Duan Ran smiled again, and said meanly: "It's really pitiful... Sigh, talking to the emperor is to seek death, not to mention your status! Empress Dowager, please listen to my advice, take advantage of your youth and get married early. Find another way out for yourself!"

Su Qingyuan turned her head back and told Luoxia: "Remember to learn to your master every word you heard when you look back."

Luo Xia bowed her head and responded, Duan Ran shrank her shoulders and took two steps back: "Ruthless! You are ruthless!"

Su Qingyuan was bored and didn't want to talk to him, so she turned around and said coldly: "There are differences between inside and outside, Mr. Duan should go out earlier."

Duan Ran narrowed his eyes, and asked with a smile, "Do you know what I am here today?"

Su Qingyuan ignored him, and slowly entered the pavilion while supporting Luoxia's hand.

Unexpectedly, Duan Ran also followed in with a stern face, and smiled behind her: "Lu Li asked the imperial study to find a book for him, but the servants didn't know about it, so they had to ask me to find it—you guessed it? what book?"

Su Qingyuan didn't want to answer, but Danyue suddenly smiled and said: "Isn't the emperor with Princess Jingmin? Princess Jingmin can't even read a few words. The books she is willing to read must have paintings! "

Duan Ran slapped his hands heavily: "Miss Danyue is really smart! Empress Dowager, you may wish to guess what will be painted on the 'picture' book that the two of them are going to read together?"

Su Qingyuan couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed a handful of snow from a nearby branch, pulled off his collar and stuffed it in.

Duan Ran shouted "Wow", jumping up and down.

Su Qingyuan clapped her hands, and said lightly: "If it's something shameful, how can I let you pass it on as a foreigner? You have time to provoke trouble with me, why don't you go back and teach Jun'er how to recognize a few words? It's a blessing."

"Don't worry, your son is reciting a book, don't leave him alone!" Duan Ran finally shook off the snow on his back, and his expression became calm again.

He looked at Su Qingyuan's face, then slipped back cunningly: "Do you know where Lu Li and the others are right now - Moon Tower!"

Su Qingyuan's face changed slightly.

Where is Wangyue Tower, no one in the world knows.

Although it is named "lou", it is more appropriate to call it "tower".It was built by an emperor more than a hundred years ago for his favorite concubine, and it is the tallest building in Miyagi.

Rumor has it that the emperor once told his favorite concubine that he wanted thousands of miles of land and thousands of people to prostrate at her feet.

In this palace, there are Yingyue Pond, Moon Tower, Zuiyue Pavilion, and Moon Viewing Terrace... all because of the word "moon" in the name of that beloved concubine.

For more than 100 years, all the places with the word "moon" in the palace have been covered with a mysterious and lingering color.Every woman married to Miyagi hopes to have wine and smiles with her king in these places.

Because of that promise, Wangyue Tower has become a holy place in the hearts of women all over the world.It's a pity that there are only a few women who have been blessed to stand on the moon-watching tower for more than a hundred years.

Princess Jingmin...

She once swam with Lu Li hand in hand by the Moon Reflecting Pool, and now she went to the Moon Tower - how can there be such a coincidence?
Duan Ran saw Su Qingyuan's slightly worried eyebrows, and immediately became proud: "Oh, this person is really incomparable with others! They travel together hand in hand, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains come to court; the queen mother is alone here, A heart full of confusion... Poor, pitiful, lamentable, lamentable!"

Su Qingyuan came to her senses, rubbed the center of her eyebrows, and said lightly: "Mr. Duan, you have to be careful behind you."

Duan Ran smiled nonchalantly: "Empress Dowager, you have turned the topic too bluntly! What can I have behind me? If a tiger eats me up..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly rushed forward, jumping on his feet and screaming.

It turned out that someone behind him threw a huge snowball. Although it only hit his foot, a stone the size of a bowl was wrapped in the snowball. light!
Duan Ran yelled "Wow" and rushed out: "Which bastard is plotting against me? You come out! If I don't dump you 18 yuan today, I will take your surname..."

Su Qingyuan couldn't help laughing when she saw him hopping madly.

But soon, she frowned again.

Of course she saw the person who threw the snowball.Moreover, she also knows.

The question is, why did that person happen to appear here, and why did he hit Duan Ran with a snowball wrapped in stone?
Is it a coincidence, or something else?
