The maid is the queen

Chapter 172 The Emperor's Birthday

The sound of the wind outside sounded like footsteps no matter how you heard it, and it passed safely one night. The reason for the next day told me that the maids of Zhenghua Palace were robbed.

Sure enough, Lang Xiao was fooled, mistakenly thinking that I was in the Zhenghua Palace, robbed someone and hurried away, but Xia Junlan had to chase after him in a pretentious manner, and seeing Lang Xiaoxiao leave the capital, she felt relieved.

May passed without any risk, and the harem seemed relieved when Lang Xiao left, and then it was June.

The most amazing thing in June is nothing more than the emperor's birthday.

The lotus flowers were so red on the sixth day of June, the palace celebrated his birthday early in the morning, hosted by the empress herself, and held a palace banquet in the garden of the harem.

She brought the child early in the morning, and now the child can crawl, and everyone in the palace kept silent about her child and dared not mention it.

I was also already a big belly, so I walked slowly while supporting my waist, the baby and Xu excitedly followed behind, Xu said: "Mother and Concubine sit down when you are tired."

Getting better and better and smarter.He reached out and touched his head: "Xu, do you have something for your father?"

"Yes." He said happily.

The weather is really as beautiful as blue satin, without any impurities. This year is no different from previous years, and his birthday is much more lively.

It is rare for Lu Yao to bring a child here, but no one dares to come close to see it. I think Lu Yao wants to let more people know about her child. If she still wants her child to be a prince, she will naturally slowly gain the favor of the emperor. .

I leaned on my waist and approached, nodding with a smile all the way to Lu Yao's side, she raised a smile: "Zhiqiu, come here with such a big belly."

"Hehe, little prince, so cute, let me give you a hug." I fell in love with the child as soon as I saw it.

She was also very happy to give me a hug. The little person in her arms had a pink face and bright black eyes looking at me curiously, but the grin on the pink mouth was still clearly visible.

"Show me a smile." I teased him.

Lu Yao took it: "Zhiqiu, you should sit down first, so as not to get tired."

The child started to cry, Lu Yao gave the child to the maid, and asked the maid to take him outside to coax him, then sat beside me and said softly, "Zhiqiu, I have something to trouble you for?"

"What's the matter, are we still so polite?"

She bright eyes lightly smiled and said: "That's right, why should we be so polite between us, then I will not hide it from you, Zhiqiu, I want my child to be the crown prince, and I want you to mention it to the emperor, it will surely get twice the result with half the effort. What I want is not petting, I just want my child to be good."

I was in a dilemma: "These things should not be mentioned by people in the harem."

"Only a noble child of the Lu family can be the prince."

"Hehe, Lu Yao, I really don't understand this, how about this, I will definitely ask for you, but I don't guarantee that he will agree." If it wasn't for Lu Yao, I would definitely not have taken on this matter.

Lu Yao smiled: "Zhiqiu is a good sister."

Xu is very sensible now, and he can play with the baby with him. The two chased each other on the green grass, which caused Lu Yao's child to scream excitedly, wanting to climb down.

Lu Yao simply put him on the grass: "Prince of the queen mother, climb up and you will climb farther and farther."

We didn't pay much attention at the beginning, anyway, the child was watched by the maid, and the two sat under the tree talking, and it will be born in a month or so. She held my hand tightly: "Zhiqiu, you must give birth to a healthy child."

"Lu Yao, you still can't let it go. Don't do this. You will have a hard time. Now that the child has grown up a bit, everyone in the palace will get used to it. Is there anything wrong?"

She also sighed and said: "If I become the prince, I really don't want to care about anything. I just want to accompany the prince well and educate the prince to grow up."

The emperor came over, saw us chatting under the tree, glanced at Lu Yao and said lightly: "The queen is here?" He was obviously displeased.

Lu Yao laughed a little: "Today, I brought the beauties from the harem to celebrate the emperor's birthday."

"I have a heart." He said, his eyes were glued to my body, soft and dense like a fishing net, he approached me, leaned down and rubbed my waist lightly with both hands: "Are you tired?" ?”

"It's okay, but my waist is a little sore."

"I'll rub it for you for a while, and when you get stronger, just say it." He rubbed my waist as if no one else was there.

I shyly pulled his hand down: "Okay, no more soreness, no more pain."

"Where's the gift for me?" He looked at me with bright eyes.

At this moment, Xu ran over with the baby, his red face was covered with sweat, he hugged one of them: "Baby, Xu, today is the birthday of the father."

Really, do you even ask for the child's gift?

Xu said solemnly: "I wish my father a happy birthday, and be blessed like Donghai and Shoubi Nanshan."

"Yeah." The baby nodded vigorously.

He grinned openly: "Then what kind of gift will you give Father?"

Xu said very seriously: "Xu's gift to the emperor is to honor the mother and concubine well, take the baby without making trouble, and make the mother and concubine happy to give birth to the emperor's younger brother."

The baby protested dissatisfied: "Baby is not messy."

I asked softly, "Xu, who taught you to say that?"

"Xu don't say." He smiled.

"It must be that girl Xiaotao." I said lightly, deliberately trying to make excuses for him, but as soon as Xu Xu heard it, he immediately said: "Mother Concubine, that's not it, it was because of my aunt's teaching."

It wasn't until after I finished talking that I realized that I had been fooled. It was so cute.

He stood up with a smile: "Yun Zhiqiu, you are getting more and more motivated, even the child, you have to plan, well, Xu's gift is happy to receive, Zhiqiu, what did you give me?"

"My, let me think about it, isn't it the best gift for you to be happy and healthy now?" I said lightly.

He laughed and scolded angrily: "What kind of people are brought out by whoever they are, they all take advantage of everything and pretend to be obedient, even giving gifts, this is simply fooling me."

While laughing and talking, I suddenly heard the concubine's scream.

As far as the eye could see, it was the little prince who was crawling on the green grass and crawled up to the side of the concubines, causing them to cry out in shock.

The palace lady knew that she was in trouble, so she went to hug her right away. Lu Yao's face was also very ugly, and she stared straight at the concubines, making them tremble in fright, and knelt down: "My empress, please forgive me."

"Empress, take it away, don't spoil my interest, I don't know if the empress will talk to you, someone will come to pick up the child in this month."

Lu Yao closed his eyes, bit his red lips tightly, took the child from the hand of the maid, and slapped the maid fiercely: "Come here, kill this useless thing for me. Even a child I can’t even look at it, what are you doing alive?”

Xia Junlan was also angry: "Queen, please pay attention to your identity, come here, the queen is not feeling well, and she is sent back to the harem to rest."

She was also very proud, she hugged the child, stared at the emperor fiercely, turned her head and left.

Children are really not scary. I don't know what those concubines are afraid of. Are they afraid of ghosts knocking on the door if they don't do bad things?Lu Yao finally went back, bringing her heartache so much, I couldn't bear it but I didn't know how to comfort her.

Now she is like a hedgehog spreading all the thorns all over her body to protect herself, to protect herself.

The noon banquet was still held, and even Princess Yutang came, bringing Concubine Mu Gui, and the cousins, who were as beautiful as flowers, came to celebrate their birthdays, and then asked the maid to bring a bowl of glutinous rice balls with a smile Said: "The emperor used to like eating the glutinous rice balls made by Yutang the most, but Yutang hasn't made them for several years, so I don't know if these glutinous rice balls are still suitable for the emperor's taste." She put one in a white jade spoon, with her hand underneath Take the soup and send it directly to the emperor.

Xia Junlan opened her mouth, but she retracted playfully and did not let her eat. She pursed her lips and smiled: "Lan is still as impatient as before, and still can't eat."

I'm not angry at all, she just made me feel more pitiful for her doing this in front of me, and I can only rely on memory and the past to arouse his concern.

Thinking about making glutinous rice balls for Xia Junlan last time, he said, it’s not like this, it’s not like this, at that time I was still the shadow of Princess Yutang, in a love that seemed real and fake, I really paid, Love also fell into it.When he was eating glutinous rice balls, he still looked at me worriedly, but I smiled and patted his back lightly: "Eat slowly, the glutinous rice balls are hot."

He smiled and thought very well, peeled the grape skin and stuffed it into my mouth: "Eat more of these."

Which concubine didn't look at me with envious eyes, I opened my mouth and ate it lightly, the sweet juice overflowed my tongue, I looked down at Yutang as if looking at me displeased.

So what, if we haven't seen each other for a long time and then return to the previous infatuation, he will naturally feel complicated. Once he knows what he wants, who is the person who will accompany him for the rest of his life, he will know how to cherish it. In the face of love, we all It's a child, learn carefully.

He asked people to move the chair and let Princess Yutang sit beside me. Xuyi was beside me, and a concubine asked him gently: "Prince Chang, do you want Concubine Yun to give you a little brother, or a little princess?" .”

A smile flashed across Xu's dark eyes: "Father wants a younger brother, mother concubine wants a princess, and Xu wants mother concubine to have a prince and princess."

He glanced at Xu and said with great joy: "It's a bit like when I was young." I secretly thought, you were really so smart when you were young, and your mother wouldn't force you to read and learn every day.

Concubine Mu also said: "It's really very smart. Sister Yunfei is about to give birth. It's really hard work for Sister Yun to take care of the two children."

"They don't have to worry about their concubines." I replied with a smile, "If Xu grows up, he will definitely not live in Nuanxin Palace anymore." The prince has his own place to live.

Lunch was not so fast yet, so the reason let me eat a few pieces of pastries to pad my stomach, and then I sat on his left during lunch, while Concubine Mu and Princess Yutang lined up on the right, and the dishes were served one after another Come on, next is the soup. The stewed soup is not greasy at all, but it still has an excellent umami taste. I tried it with a spoon. It tastes really good, very clear and fresh soup I like to drink.

The baby asked the maid to feed him a few mouthfuls, then turned his face away, and pulled my clothes: "Mother Concubine, pee, Mother Concubine, the baby needs to pee."
