in the sound of swallows

Chapter 178 Liars
Fireworks are rare, Shen Guiyan remembers that the last time she watched fireworks was when Fanbang came to court, she was not able to go to the banquet to watch, only through the window of Yonghe Palace, she saw a little light on the palace wall.

At that time, in order to protect the fetus and herself, she kept silent and forbeared. She liked fireworks and couldn't watch them openly.

But now, when all the dust has settled, she can finally stand above the tall building openly and see the blossoming flowers of brilliance clearly.In the days to come, you can live a peaceful life as a husband and a child, right?
"Does it look good?" the person behind her asked her.

Slightly nodding, Shen Guiyan turned to look at Gu Chaobei: "Why is the emperor suddenly interested in watching the fireworks?"

Isn't it all to please you?Gu Chaobei murmured in his heart, but didn't say anything, he just hugged her tighter: "I'm happy."

Duanwen and Baoshan told him all the things that happened around Yan'er in these years. Although Yan'er said it was okay, he still felt a little guilty, so if possible, he should make up for it.

It was all he owed her.

"Fire trees and silver flowers close, star bridge iron locks open." Seeing the fire in his eyes, Shen Guiyan said softly and slowly.

Gu Chaobei smiled, embraced her and continued: "The dark dust follows the horse, and the bright moon follows the people."

Back then, a ruffian was a ruffian, and one had to be educated to hang out in drunkenness.If his wife wants to recite poems, he will accompany her, if she wants to play the piano, he will sing poems, if she wants to see thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, he will collect all the world for her. Where can I find someone who is so worthy of her?

So it was not in vain that she had waited for him for so many years.

The night is bright and the fireworks are not extinguished. The emperor and queen on the Zhaxing Tower are concubines, but after suffering, they rush back to Zhuiyun who set off the fireworks.

If you are free, you must take a leave of absence and continue working after marrying a wife, otherwise you will not be able to live this life!
The morning sun is rising and all the officials are going to court. Shen Guiyan doesn't have to worry about those things any more, and can just spend time with her son in the harem.

The eldest prince, who has never been named, finally has his own name: Ming Sigui. It is said that it is based on the horoscope of the birth date, the national teacher's divination, and then the current emperor Gu Chaobei chose it blindly.

The courtiers were quite critical of this, because according to the name given in the genealogy, the eldest prince should be called Mingbi, but the emperor said that this name is unlucky, so let's think of returning, it is artistic and pleasant.

You are the boss, you have the final say, even if the name is neither fish nor fowl, the eldest prince can only recognize it.

"How?" Shen Guiyan looked at Imperial Physician Liu who had withdrawn, and asked quickly.

Imperial Physician Liu was silent for a while and said, "Let's wait until His Royal Highness is older."

The leg bones are deformed, and it is impossible to grow them back by themselves, so this is the only way to comfort the queen.

Shen Guiyan was a little disappointed, sitting on the edge of the eldest prince's bed, holding his little hand and sighing.

"Queen, can't Erchen come down and walk?" Ming Sigui looked at her and asked in a low voice: "Erchen has been taking medicine well recently. Aunt Baoshan said that taking medicine well may be like other people in the coming year. Running around in the imperial garden."

With slightly red eyes, Shen Guiyan pursed her lips and said, "You are still young, so you can't come down yet. It will be fine when you grow up."

Children can't walk, adults can, right?Ming Sigui nodded obediently. He had never seen other children before, so he didn't think he was disabled. He only thought that all children should be the same, and they had to grow up to be able to walk.

However, when Shen Guiyan was pushing the prince for a walk in the garden in the afternoon, she bumped into a little girl.

The three or four-year-old daughter's family, wearing a court lady's modified clothes, ran and danced very happily in the imperial garden.

"Where is the little maid from?" Shen Guiyan's face darkened, and she quickly turned the eldest prince's wheelchair in one direction, and for the first time sternly shouted: "Take it away!"

She had already ordered in the harem that children under the age of ten were not allowed to appear in the harem. Where did this girl come from?
Bao Shan hurriedly went to grab the little maid, who screamed in fright, ran around, and rushed in front of the eldest prince again.

"Why do you want to arrest me?" The pink and tender little face was blushing, the little maid had no idea that she had committed a capital crime, and she was pulling Sigui's wheelchair and refused to let go.

The eldest prince stared blankly at her, watching her kicking legs, and stretched out his hand to hold her.

"Queen Mother, Aunt Baoshan, let her go." The eldest prince said blankly, "I want to play with her..."

"Nonsense." Shen Guiyan's face was ugly: "The queen mother will take you back to Yonghe Palace to play, okay?"

The eldest prince raised his head, glanced at Shen Guiyan with watery eyes, and then looked at the little girl's legs.

Unable to hide it anymore, Shen Guiyan's lips trembled slightly, and she reached out her hand to cover her son's eyes, but the eldest prince suddenly raised his head and blocked her hand.

He has always liked his mother the most, and this is the first time he has rejected her.

"Your Majesty." Baoshan supported Shen Guiyan, frowned and said, "Calm down first, the prince must have never met anyone of the same age, and it was just a whim."

is it?Shen Guiyan stared blankly at her son.

The eldest prince lowered his head and took the hand of the little maid, and asked her softly, "Are your legs okay?"

The little palace maid didn't know her situation, she smiled and raised her head and answered, "It's good, you can run and jump. How about you? Why do you sit on a chair instead of getting down and walking around?"

The eldest prince's face turned pale suddenly, and he slowly raised his head to look at Shen Guiyan, his mouth moved, and he wanted to get out of the wheelchair without saying a word.

"No!" Shen Guiyan stopped him: "You can't..."

"Didn't the queen mother say that children have to sit in wheelchairs for ten years, and they can only walk when they grow up? The queen mother lied, she can run and jump, why can't I?"

Shen Guiyan was dumbfounded, and looked sharply at the little maid beside her.

Only then did the little palace maid feel afraid, she knelt down tremblingly and said, "Empress, please forgive me."

The little girl with a babyish voice, who hadn't even grown up, shrank into a ball in fright.The eldest prince tried his best to pull her up, his eyes were red, and he said in a crying voice: "Get up, and follow me from now on, at least you won't lie to me."

"Your Highness." Bao Shan frowned: "Your Majesty and servants are all for you, how can you talk like this..."

She grew up with the eldest prince, and brought him as her own son. Such knife-like words can hurt her, and naturally they can hurt the master even more.

The eldest prince ignored the treasure fan, but with red eyes, he pulled the little maid to follow him in his wheelchair, and then told the palace servants: "Take me back to the palace."

"Emperor." Shen Guiyan called him.

The eldest prince didn't even look back, he just told the palace servants to walk faster.

With a long sigh, Shen Guiyan rubbed the center of her brows.Baoshan stood beside him and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, children won't hold grudges for too long, the prince is young after all..."

Young is still young, the eldest prince is precocious and sensitive, if he can say to his father that "excessive things can only be done once", can he be regarded as a child who doesn't care about anything?
"Your Majesty, Second Madam Gu is here." A palace official reported.

Shen Guiyan came back to her senses, straightened her appearance, and said softly: "Please come to Luoyexuan."

"Yes."

Xu Mengdie is a person who has always been good for her wholeheartedly, even though she is now the wife of the emperor, she is still willing to rush about her affairs.A few days ago, she was asked to inquire about the miracle doctor among the people. I don't know if there is any news.

When they arrived at Luoyexuan, Xu Mengdie was already waiting, and stood up to meet her with a smile. Seeing that her worry was still on her face, her expression moved slightly: "Is the prince letting the empress worry about it again?"

"You half-immortal, you know again." Shen Guiyan smiled wryly.

"Now there is nothing else that can worry the empress so much." Xu Mengdie said in a low voice, "I don't know what's going on today?"

Seeing Xu Mengdie, Shen Guiyan always talked a lot, and directly talked about what happened in the imperial garden from the beginning to the end.

After hearing this, Xu Mengdie frowned slightly: "Your Majesty has already decreed that no young children can enter or leave the harem, and that little maid went to the Imperial Garden by chance. Didn't your Majesty check it out? She even left that child in the eldest prince's place." around?"

"He wants to keep it." Shen Guiyan said helplessly: "The child has no playmates all this time, I thought, since it has been punctured, why not keep the little palace lady by his side to keep him from being lonely. "

"Your Majesty is too kind." Xu Mengdie shook his head and said, "As a concubine, in order to protect my son, I will definitely get rid of that girl whose origin is unknown."

Get rid of it?Shen Guiyan shook her head in her heart, that is also a human life, how could it be as simple as wiping coal dust.

Xu Mengdie went on to say: "I have asked my concubine to help me find out about it. I have asked her all over. It is said that there is an old fairy in Xishan, who may be able to help. But Xishan is too far away from the capital, and the carriage is going back and forth. I'm afraid it will take four months, this..."

Xishan?Shen Guiyan frowned: "It's really too far away."

She was worried that Huang'er would go alone, no matter how many guards there were, no one could take care of him.But if she goes with her, after four months, after finally reuniting with Chao Bei, is it possible that they will have to separate again?

"The old fairy has the best reputation. It is said that he has cured many people's leg diseases, so I came to talk to the empress. Whether to go or not, the empress can decide for herself."

After a pause, Xu Mengdie said: "Anyway, the prince is still young."

Hesitating in her heart, Shen Guiyan closed her eyes and said: "Let me think about it for a few days. If it can be cured, it is naturally better to go early, while the child is still young and the bones are not yet fully grown."

Xu Mengdie nodded.

Gu Chaobei went down, and as soon as he pushed open the door of the main hall of Yonghe Palace, he met Shen Guiyan with a bitter face.

"What's the matter?" The emperor looked at her amusedly, went behind the screen to change clothes, came out, squeezed her chin and kissed her: "Who made the empress unhappy?"

Bao Shan pursed his lips, and said in a low voice, "Who else is there, if it's not you, it can only be His Royal Highness."

Prince?Gu Chaobei raised his eyebrows: "Usually, Yan'er loves him so stickily. She refuses to go to the moat if she asks me to accompany me. How dare that kid offend his mother?"

Shen Guiyan raised her eyes, looked at the emperor and said, "I have something to discuss with you."
