National Beauty

It was almost three hours later. Shuang'er was sitting on the chair in the main room with the stove in his hands, eyes closed as if sleeping, but listening to the cries of the princess from the inner room, how could she fall asleep? The control ground went up and down with the cries of the princess, high for a while and low for a while, there seemed to be a place in my heart that was empty, and I needed something to fill in.

Shuang'er leaned in a different direction and sighed silently. Sometimes she really missed the princess when she was pregnant and went to bed at night without them having to wait for anything. Last month, the princess had just gotten out of the full moon, and the two masters made it simple. Somehow, the next month was calm. Shuang'er heard people say that after a woman gave birth to a child, the bottom would become loose. Before, she worried for the princess that she would not be liked by the prince. Now...

From one more day to now...

The twins yawned, and no longer doubted the prince's love for the princess, and only hoped that the masters would finish their work sooner, so that she should wait on her side and sleep at ease.

In the inner room, Song Jianing was lying on the pillow, and the pillow surface was already moistened by the sweat on her face. The prince finally stopped moving. Song Jianing was also like a remnant flower washed ashore. After the big wind and waves on the lake, she now has no strength. She closed her eyes, the aftermath of the wind and waves still surging in her body, her body was exhausted, but her spirit was unexpectedly good.

Last month, she had a heart to spend the whole night with the prince. However, when she really moved, she was uncomfortable. She couldn’t bear it. The prince was considerate of her and he just gave up halfway. The next day she hired a doctor to find out that she had not fully recovered. , Need to raise for another half a month. The prince simply waited for another month. Tonight, the two of them started cautiously, and in the end they both went crazy. The crops that had been dry for a long time were finally waiting for the rain.

He lay down and kissed her on the shoulder lightly. Song Jianing tilted his head, and he thoughtfully helped her to poke the hair that was blocking her face. Song Jianing opened his eyes, the inside of the tent was bright, remembering that he had specifically told them not to blow the lamp, so that they could see her clearly, Song Jianing had another itch in his heart.

After he kissed her, his shoulders began to move upwards. Song Jianing watched his flushed handsome face slowly approach, and her eyes met. In the end, she closed it shyly and opened her mouth slightly to greet his kiss. However, he came twice in a row, and one time was longer than the other. Zhao Heng didn't have the strength to make waves anymore for the time being, so he turned over and held her in his arms.

The breathing of the two gradually became even, and Zhao Heng's eyes gradually recovered clarity, holding her hand on his chest, and whispering: "Enter the palace tomorrow morning, let Father, see Zhaozhao." In fact, it was after the full moon. It was time to carry his daughter into the palace, but in the cold winter, Zhao Heng was worried about her daughter being cold, and after asking his father for instructions, he put it off for a month.

Song Jianing had already prepared, but when she thought that tomorrow would be the first time her daughter entered the palace to meet the emperor, she was still a little nervous. She stood up with her arms and looked at the lying man and said, "I heard that the second sister-in-law brought Sister Kang into the palace. The father cried once and cried once, and then stopped. For this reason, the imperial concubine no longer likes Sister Kang, and she doesn't know what happened.

She was afraid that her daughter would cry and be rejected by the emperor's grandfather.

"Acknowledge." Zhao Heng guessed. After speaking, she squeezed her hand, thinking of her white and fat beautiful little girl, and her voice became milder: "Not afraid of Zhao Zhao." At the full moon banquet, so many people gathered around. The daughter did not cry once.

Listening to his vowed tone, Song Jianing lowered his head and smirked. He didn't tell him that his daughter hadn't recognized anyone yet, so he talked about recognizing life.

A good night's sleep, the next day Zhao Heng personally held his daughter, Song Jianing followed by wearing a cloak, and a family of three went into the palace. The New Year's Eve was approaching, and the court officials were also on vacation. Emperor Xuande was free at this time throughout the year. Knowing that the third family was coming over, Emperor Xuande stayed in the central palace after breakfast with Empress Li and played chess with Empress Li.

Empress Li was a talented woman, especially good at chess and painting. Emperor Xuande was equally skilled in chess. The couple didn't have to let anyone else, and the game played together heartily. When Song Jianing and the others came over, the Empress had just finished a round. Emperor Xuande deliberately released a little water to let Empress Li win. Empress Li just didn't know, smiled and asked Emperor Xuande for rewards and fresh ones.

Over the years, Emperor Xuande had rewarded too many things to his little queen, and he couldn't think of what to reward for a while.

"You can't fool me, I will reward my little granddaughter first." Hearing that the third child's family has arrived, Emperor Xuande joked.

Empress Li scoffed at him and moved her gaze to the entrance of Nuan Pavilion.

"Father and queen." Zhao Heng hugged his daughter, led his wife in, and saluted concisely.

Emperor Xuande nodded and couldn't help but look at the son and daughter-in-law in front of him. His four sons are all married. Daughters-in-laws are all good looking. The eldest daughter-in-law is well-behaved and nothing special, but she has two grandchildren in a row, which is meritorious. The second daughter-in-law is a bit special, especially useless. Even her husband can't coax her. She pretends to be generous when she enters the palace, and she feels unlucky when she looks at Emperor Xuande. The fourth daughter-in-law is very special, she is good at dancing, but she lacks femininity. Only the third daughter-in-law, although she had the worst background, she was sleek and well-behaved. The little bird standing beside her, was really disgusting. No wonder he was moved by the less-female third.

"The emperor, I see, Shouwang seems to be a little fatter, don't you think?" Empress Li looked at the young couple and chuckled lightly.

Emperor Xuande looked at the youngest man again, and did not see the difference between fat and thin, but the youngest man's complexion was indeed better, and the expression of his body was also different. The third child before marriage, like a beautiful jade that has not been carved, reveals a sense of greenness and estrangement in the elegance, rejecting people for thousands of miles, and becoming the third child of the father, the faint coldness gradually disappeared and turned into a graceful prince noble. .

Why is there such a change? Of course, after marrying the right princess, the young couple had a good life, and the youngest person became more and more popular.

"Give me a hug." Knowing that his son was doing well, Emperor Xuande became more relaxed and waved to his son.

Zhao Heng then hugged his daughter and sent it to his father.

Emperor Xuande was still very skilled in holding the child. After taking the baby, he saw a white and clean girl lying inside. The little girl was sitting in a carriage all the way and fell asleep. The eyelashes were dense and long, like two small fans. The fleshy face immediately followed her mother, who was called a tender, Emperor Xuande couldn't help but stretched out his hand and lightly tapped the little granddaughter.

Unexpectedly, just two clicks, the little girl moved her head suddenly, her eyes widened before she opened her eyes, her mouth widened first, and she yawned roundly. Emperor Xuande forgot to move in surprise, and then saw that the little girl closed her mouth and opened her eyes, her apricot eyes, round and bright, staring at him without blinking.

Emperor Xuande had never seen such a beautiful female doll, and his princess Duanhui was also very beautiful, but the princess was born more than ten years ago, and he was still his only princess. When he arrived at his grandchildren, Emperor Xuande was wronged by Sister Kang of the second family because of the Northern Expedition. Later, Emperor Xuande tried to compensate, but the granddaughter always cried for some reason, shedding his heart of compensation.

Compared with the granddaughter, the younger granddaughter is more and more cute and cute.

"Why is it called Zhaozhao?" Emperor Xuande shook his little granddaughter unconsciously, and asked the third child with interest. The two grandchildren of the old family were given by him. Sister Kang was also coaxed by Concubine Wu to take him. It was the youngest granddaughter’s turn. Emperor Xuande thought of a pair of names in advance. He had both children. Unexpectedly, the son took it himself. The meaning is true. Not bad.

"Born at sunrise." Zhao Heng said, looking at his baby daughter.

Emperor Xuande nodded.

"The emperor, give me a hug." Empress Li said with greedy eyes.

Emperor Xuande glanced at her and handed the little granddaughter over. Empress Li hugged Zhaozhao and looked down. Her eyes were gentle and watery. Although she didn't praise her very much, she simply praised her beauty, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were all heartfelt likes. Emperor Xuande looked in his eyes, thinking of Xiao Wu, who had just passed a year's death, and thinking that Empress Li was crying asleep in his arms that night, Emperor Xuande lowered his eyes silently and couldn't bear to look again.

Two quarters later, Zhao Heng and Song Jianing went back to the palace with their daughter and the generous reward from the empress.

At noon that day, Empress Li didn't use much food. Emperor Xuande knew that she must have thought of her son who had died prematurely, but did not persuade him. This kind of pain and any kind of comfort didn't work, only Empress Li could figure it out. Emperor Xuande felt sorry for his little empress, but he believed that she would come out soon. After all, the heart-wrenching pain was over when the son just disappeared.

But this time Emperor Xuande miscalculated. Empress Li lost appetite for many days, and became sick like a mountain. She was so sick that she was bedridden and she was obviously lost weight. Emperor Xuande called the imperial doctor to check the pulse. The imperial doctor sighed and said that the queen was suffering from depression and that the heart disease needed a heart medicine doctor. Emperor Xuande felt pity and helplessness. After sending the imperial physician, he sat on the side of the bed, holding Empress Li's hand and sighed: "You are like this, how can I manage the country with confidence?"

Queen Li just cried silently.

"The emperor, several princesses have come to visit the empress."

Emperor Xuande nodded and wiped away the tears of Empress Li, looking at her one last time, and got up and left. Walking out of the outer hall, I saw four daughter-in-laws standing side by side, the eldest daughter-in-law holding his eldest grandson Sheng.

"Grandfather Emperor." Brother Sheng called sweetly.

Emperor Xuande smiled, touched the top of his grandson's head, and left in a complicated mood.

After spending half a day in the Chongzheng Hall, the sky darkened. Emperor Xuande returned to the central palace again and walked into the inner room. He saw his little queen leaning on the head of the bed to do needlework. It was just beginning, but I can see that it was a child. clothes. Emperor Xuande walked over unexpectedly, and Empress Li smiled weakly when she saw him, but the spirit of her eyes regained.

Emperor Xuande breathed a sigh of relief, sat next to her, and said suspiciously: "You are still ill, don't take a good rest, what kind of needles and threads should you use?"

Empress Li looked at her hands, Rourou smiled and said: "It's the Chinese New Year, I will make a dress for Brother Sheng, he is still young, and it doesn't take much effort."

Emperor Xuande understood as soon as he heard it, his little empress was afraid that she had placed her feelings for her son on her grandson. He watched quietly for a while, about a quarter of an hour later, worried that Queen Li would be tired, and then the maid of the palace took away the needle and thread. At night, Emperor Xuande stayed in the Central Palace. In the dead of night, he suddenly heard the woman beside him murmur.

"Brother Sheng... come and eat sweets..."

Dreaming of my grandson.

The dream quickly disappeared, and Empress Li fell asleep, but Emperor Xuande was dying to sleep.

It's another new year. After the Spring Festival, for the first time in the early dynasty, the Emperor Xuande issued an imperial decree, saying that after the princes left the palace, he repeatedly felt empty, and he ordered the prince’s grandson to enter the palace. Raising, every month on holidays, the eldest grandson of the emperor can return to the palace of Chu, so as to fulfill his filial piety in front of the couple of Chu.
