Chapter 22 Chapter Ten Who Reads West Wind Cools Alone

The days are short in winter, and it always gets dark in the blink of an eye.The maids had lighted the lamps early, and now the hall was brightly lit. She hugged her white fur, listening to the cold wind howling outside the window, through the forest and through the trees, there was a faint rustling sound.Four large golden tripod charcoal stoves were burned in each of the four corners of the hall, and a smoke pot was placed in front of the bed, making the whole hall as warm as spring. And he was sitting on the other side of the brocade couch, holding a booklet in his hand, with lowered eyebrows, very focused.

Such a situation is like going back to the wedding scene of the two of them back then. At that moment, all kinds of bitterness surged in her heart.At that time, although they were not as gluey as paint, they were respectful as guests.Now that I recall it, there is an illusion.It turned out that he and she had had such a beautiful scene... She didn't have to enter the palace originally, but she still came back.She is reluctant to part with Cheng Xuan, how could she part with the child in her womb... He actually looked at her like this. As if he had sensed it, he turned his head and only glanced at her, then lowered his head and ordered: "Drink the ginseng soup."

Those ginseng soups have a peculiar smell, and she never drinks them.After a long while, he raised his head and said in a deep voice, "Drink it soon, why don't I say it a second time?" She bit her lip lightly, reluctantly picked up the cup, pinched her nose, and poured her head up. But as soon as it entered the throat, the peculiar smell had already risen from the stomach.She covered her mouth and hiccupped repeatedly, and Mo Lan who was standing had already brought up the copper basin, and when she lowered her head, she began to vomit again and again, scratching her stomach, as if she wanted to vomit all the bile before she would stop.

A pair of thick hands supported her waist and gently touched her back.She clutched her chest, struggled to get up from the couch, and coldly shook off his hand. He sighed almost inaudibly, and there was an unknown pampering in his tone: "Okay, I won't drink the ginseng soup of Laoshizi in the future." Because of the charcoal stove and brazier in the hall, the air is as warm as spring.I don't know whether it was from vomiting or heat, but her face was flushed red as if she had applied rouge, her eyes were shining brightly. He reached out to her.She turned her head away, supported her waist and bowed to him, but did not speak.But he understood what she meant: "Your Majesty, my concubine is about to rest. Send the Emperor back to the palace respectfully."

He froze his face and remained silent.She was clearly driving him away again!She bowed again, meaning roughly: "The concubine's body is inconvenient and it is difficult to serve the emperor. Please the emperor move to the palace of other sisters." She stood with her waist supported in a cold manner, as quiet as a deep pool in winter, and it was very cold at a distance. She hated him that much, didn't she?Since the two of them pierced that layer of paper, she never wanted to talk to him again. He stood up, waved his sleeves, and called loudly: "Shi Quanyi." Shi Quanyi answered from a distance at the door: "The servant is here."

"Show me the car, go to Jiangyun Palace." This must be what she wanted, he walked out with a stiff face. Standing by the couch, she watched him shake off his sleeves and stride away.After a while, he turned around in a daze. Mo Lan sighed softly at the side: "Miss, why bother? The Holy Majesty is the Holy Majesty!" She turned around quietly, not hiding her sadness.He hurt her so deeply that even now, when he recalls it, there is a kind of uncontrollable pain.How could she forgive him! She entered the palace only for Chengxuan and Ruan's family.This is the only meaning for her in this deep palace.Everything else, including him, was meaningless to her, who had already died once.

The day after he forced her to eat, he arranged for Mo Lan and Mo Zhu to come over.It was only then that Mo Lan and Mo Zhu knew that Concubine Ning was really their young lady, Ruan Wushuang.The two were crying, laughing, sad and happy, and they calmed down after a few days. But after all, she was still worried about Chengxuan, so she let Mo Zhu continue to serve Chengxuan.Naturally, Mo Zhu and Mo Lan were also reluctant to part with their little master who grew up dependent on each other, so they were very happy with such an arrangement. Since he went to Jiangyun Palace that day, he has never visited Fengyi Palace for several days.The maids in Fengyi Palace were talking in private, vaguely knowing that their master had offended the emperor.

"It is said that the Holy Majesty has been going to Jiangyun Palace or Lanlin Palace these few days." Someone sighed: "Oh, what's going on? It's obvious that our master is pregnant with a dragon fetus, but now it seems to be falling out of favor. Like!" Someone's voice was a little lower: "I heard from the people under Eunuch Shi that the Holy Majesty still cares about our master very much, and cares about our daily life every day..." "Then why don't you come over to see our master?" "I think this is strange. You entered the palace late, so you don't know some things. Before our master entered the palace, the Holy Majesty didn't like women very much. The four empresses in the harem back then, the Holy Majesty was very cold, even... "The maid's voice lowered: "I even heard that the emperor had... Later, after our master got the favor, the Holy Majesty loved him so much that he stayed in Fengyi Hall every day..."

"Oh, no matter how strange it is, the emperor is not coming! Alas... I see that the empress has been making up this and that, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. She has a big belly and her face is a little thinner than when she entered the palace... ..." Ruan Wushuang took the soup from Mo Lan, held back his nausea, and drank it all in one gulp.He drank the honey water in his hands and rinsed his mouth.After a while, the maid said at the door: "Your Majesty, the prince is asking to see you." She was overjoyed, and Mo Lan hurriedly lifted the curtain and went out, and she saw Mo Zhu coming right behind Cheng Xuan.

Cheng Xuan stepped forward and hugged her: "Mother, are you my mother?" She trembled suddenly, and the jade bowl in her hand fell to pieces with a crisp sound of "snap" on the white marble. on brick. Cheng Xuan hugged her and refused to let go: "You must be my mother, you must be. Only mother can treat Cheng Xuan so well..." Mo Zhu knelt on the ground, secretly wiping away tears, and said: "Miss, you should punish the servant, the servant has already told the prince the fact that you are the prince's biological mother. The servant couldn't help it, and accidentally slipped the tongue..."

Since the young lady became pregnant, the little prince seemed to have a little thought.Today, he tugged at her sleeve again, and asked her with a trace of trepidation and uncertainty: "Mo Zhu, Auntie has a younger brother or younger sister, does she not like me anymore? Does she not love me anymore? ?” The little prince would always ask this question, and Mo Zhu was already used to it.Mo Zhu was tightly entangled by him, and happened to be busy undoing his buttons, and wanted to change his clothes, but for some reason, he slipped his mouth: "How could it be? The prince is also the daughter's own flesh and blood! In the future How can it only hurt..." Although I realized it was wrong, it was too late to cover my mouth.Although the little crown prince was young, he was definitely not a simple role. Later, he became so entangled with him that he couldn't help it, so he had to say: "I will take you to see the empress, and let her talk to you in person." Ruan Wushuang's vision was hazy, he took the finished brocade robe and tried it on for him, the size was just right.She wanted to laugh, but tears fell straight down. Cheng Xuan touched the robe and said happily, "Mother, is this for me?" She stroked Cheng Xuan's hair, nodded with tears in her eyes, and said with a smile, "Mother hasn't done it for Cheng Xuan for many years. Clothes." At this moment, she felt very fortunate that she had entered the palace. Cheng Xuan hugged her tightly, sobbing: "Mother...Mother..." She held the child tightly in her arms.When he was taken away by the maids, he also called her mother like this.But it seems that in the blink of an eye, he is already this big... Cheng Xuan suddenly raised his head from her arms, and blurted out: "Father..." She turned around slowly, only to see him reappearing silently as usual.Always so caught off guard.He didn't seem to be having a good time the past few days, and he looked haggard and lonely. In this way, he came every day.It was as if nothing had happened between the two of them.Her abdomen was getting bigger and bigger, and it was difficult for her to turn over while sleeping. But even if she almost occupied the whole bed, he didn't mind at all.Such a scene sometimes made her feel a little dazed for no reason. He was still newly married that year, and so was he. Even if she had a big belly, every time she turned over, it would make him uneasy, but he stayed with her until she gave birth. Day by day, the spring is approaching, and the flowers are bright.In a blink of an eye, the spring is old and the summer sun is in full bloom. In the afternoon of this day, she was lethargic again as usual, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.Although ice had been used in Fengyi Hall, she still felt hot and uncomfortable.Waking up dimly, she called out, "Mo Lan, it's hot..." Mo Lan's steps were extremely light, she stopped lightly when she walked to the couch, and began to shake the fan.It was better like this, she rubbed the white jade pillow, it was as cold as water, and her tiredness struck again. It was a good night's sleep, and it was already evening when I woke up.It must have been fanning for a long time, and the maid fanned it once and for all.She closed her eyes, waved her hands lazily and said, "There's no need to wait, just step back and rest." The man didn't move, he still didn't move.The sound of cicadas outside the window became more and more high-pitched, one after another like a thread, making the hall even more silent. She suddenly felt something strange and opened her eyes.It was him who was sitting by the couch, slowly shaking the fan.She opened her eyes so suddenly that Baili Haozhe was startled: "What's wrong?" She closed her eyes again.Baili Haozhe said with a smile: "It's been a while, let's get up and have some snacks." She remained silent and continued to sleep. After a while, I just listened to his order: "Come here, bring the things up." A servant entered the room lightly. The emperor was probably in a good mood, smiled and tapped her arm with a fan and said: "The Ministry of Rites presented the latest jade and jade jewelry, just take a look." In the gold plate held by the waiter, there are several sets of jade bracelets, jade hairpins, jade hairpins, and jade bracelets. The white ones are white, and the green ones are emerald green. flow. She just glanced at it, then turned her head away again.He probably got used to it, so he didn't take it seriously, and personally took a peony hairpin from the gold plate, inserted it in her slightly loose hair bun, looked at it for a while, and was very satisfied. Handed the mirror with her.She didn't even look at it, she pushed the mirror away, but he still didn't care, and took her slender hand with his hands.She struggled to pull it out, but he held it tighter and tighter, and said with a smile, "I've slept all afternoon, and now I'm better." The red sun filled the window, and light and shadow came through the window.A high table of yellow pear wood is placed under the window, and a handful of white magnolias are placed in a porcelain vase above it, which is green and fat, white and thin, and has a long-lasting fragrance. A servant tiptoed forward and whispered a few times to Shi Quanyi who was waiting behind the dragon chair.Shi Quanyi was startled, and hurriedly bowed to Baili Haozhe and whispered in Baili Haozhe's ear: "Your Majesty... I want to report to your Majesty... Concubine Ning's stomach pain just now, Feng Yi Palace has passed on the imperial physician and midwife..." Baili Haozhe jumped up from the dragon chair, ignored all the courtiers facing up, stared and said: "What?" He quickly waved to the servants and said: "Sell them to retreat." After finishing speaking, he walked in a hurry Headed towards the apse. The servant in charge of ceremonies had already proclaimed loudly: "Retire!" After the courtiers saluted, they all commented: "The emperor retreated so quickly, could it be that there is something important in the harem?" The Minister of Rituals stroked his gray beard, glanced at Ruan Wulang and Ruan Wutao, and said with a smile: "There are only a few concubines in this harem, what's going to happen? I guess it's the concubine Ning of the Ruan family who wants to Adding dragons and phoenixes to the royal family!" It is not a matter of a day or two for the emperor to favor the concubine Ning.All the ministers are also clear.At this time, after listening to the words of the Master of the Ministry of Rites, everyone felt that it was reasonable. Mu Ningyan was lying on the bed with a pale face, her hands tightly grasping the bedding under her body.Baili Haozhe bowed down pityingly, and held her hand: "Wu Shuang, I will accompany you...I will always be with you..." Her eyes turned to him in a daze, and there seemed to be a very faint soft light flickering.But the pain struck again, she frowned suddenly, and bit her lip hard. Baili Haozhe put his palm on her lips, leaned into her ear and whispered: "Wushuang, let's hurt together, okay?" She bit her lip and turned her head away... She doesn't want him.No matter what he is, whether he is a threat or a pet, she always wants him for nothing. The pain seemed to be getting worse, her hair was soaked with sweat, sticking sticky to her temples, her whole body was dripping with cold sweat, as if she had been scooped out of the water. The sun moved westward bit by bit, and the rays of the sun dimmed inch by inch.But the child didn't think of it at all. He took the ginseng soup and fed it into her mouth mouthful.But it was still not very useful, her eyes became more and more distracted, and her voice became lower and lower. If there is a way, let him accept it.As long as she is here, as long as she is here, he is willing to do anything. He shook her: "Wushuang, wake up...you wake up for me..." "Tell me, what do you want, as long as you are safe, I will promise you anything. You are not joking! I really promise you everything!" Even if she wants to leave the palace, he...he will obey her!As long as she is in this world in peace! Her eyelashes seemed to move slightly.But there was no response for a long time. His body suddenly became cold. She hated him and didn't want him, so is she really going to take his child away this time?No, no, he will never allow it. "Ruan Wushuang, do you hate me that much?" "But let me tell you, if you dare to abandon me, if you dare to take your child away from me, I will definitely not let your Ruan family go! You know my tricks. I will definitely let your father and brother not survive, nor die. !" In this world, he only cares about her.If she doesn't want him anymore, he really can do anything. She opened her eyes suddenly, looked at him in a daze, opened her mouth, and bit his hand hard...
