"Is it coming?" asked Xiao Heng.
Princess Xinyang looked down at her stomach and sighed, "it's time to have a baby, but she won't come out."
It was ten days later than the expected date of delivery. Every day, the doctor would come to check the pulse. The pulse was normal.
Xiao Heng probably understood why her aunt didn't mention his brother to his mother. His mother's pregnancy was not easy. If she came to shangguanqing in a hurry, she might die of one body or two.
The world always takes a long time to digest the bad news, but it can adapt to the good news very quickly.
For Xiao Heng and shangguanqing, the little brother or sister that will come out soon is, and for Princess Xinyang, so is the lost son.
Knowing that they had a lot to say, Xiao Heng stood up and said to Yu Jin, "aunt Yu Jin, there are still some salutes on the carriage."
Yujin understood and said with a smile, "OK, I'll ask someone to move it now."
"I'll go too." Xiao Heng went out with Yu Jin.
The door of the house was open, the goose feather like snow fell one after another, and the whole yard became white.
Princess Xinyang is not used to being too close to men, but shangguanqing is her own flesh and blood. She wants to get close to people who overcome psychological obstacles.
When Xiao Heng was in the room, she restrained herself from acting too much, otherwise Xiao Heng felt that it was not her wish to favor one over the other.
In fact, her concern is chaotic. Shangguanqing has suffered too much. Xiao Heng thinks it's right for anyone to hurt him.
Princess Xinyang looked up at Guan Qing, hesitated and said, "Mom, can you sit here?"
She refers to the position where Xiao Heng has just sat, which is closer to shangguanqing.
"Ah, good." Shangguan Qingleng responded, looked at her body with inconvenient movement and quickly responded, "I'd better sit down!"
Princess Xinyang smiled.
Princess Xinyang is a beauty favored by years. She is so beautiful that she is aggressive and bright. She is more like a green lotus on Tianshan Mountain.
Elegant, calm and graceful.
Shangguanqing had a whim. Later, when he looked for his daughter-in-law, he would look for his mother.
However, there seems to be no chance.
Princess Xinyang looked at her son, but she couldn't see enough.
She had a lot to say to her son, but she didn't know how to speak to her lips.
Nervous, he's not the only one?
He was worried that Princess Xinyang didn't like his son, and Princess Xinyang was also worried that he didn't like her mother who hadn't raised him for a day.
"You..." Princess Xinyang opened her mouth and said, "by the way, why didn't Jiao Jiao come back with you?"
Shangguan Qing said, "there is still a war in the state of Jin, and she can't come back for the time being. But don't worry, the most dangerous period has passed. Now the imperial army is in control, and she won't have anything."
Moreover, since Gu's army came, Gu Changqing didn't let the little girl go to the front.
She is mainly responsible for staying in Quyang city and treating wounded soldiers.
Of course, this is also a very arduous task. After all, human life is vital and every life is precious.
Princess Xinyang was a little relieved: "well, did you meet longyi?"
Shangguanqing said, "I didn't meet ah Heng. Ah Heng said he left and sent ah Heng back to the hinterland of Yan country from the border."
It seems that long Yi has met ah Heng.
Yeah.
After so many years together, what longyi can't let go is aheng.
Before he went to find his own answer, he would say goodbye to ah Heng.
However, she once thought that longyi's answer was in the state of Yan.
Now it seems that there is something else.
Shangguanqing doesn't know much about Long Yi. He only knows that he is the dark guard around the princess. Watching Xiao Heng grow up, he seems to have a little background. Now he goes to find his past.
Princess Xinyang said again, "are you married?"
This is a topic that parents all over the world can't get around.
No, you asked everyone. Why didn't you ask my father?
Shangguan Qing said truthfully, "I didn't get married."
Princess Xinyang thought that he had been poisoned all these years and must have no intention of getting married. She stopped talking about it and asked, "have you solved your poison?"
This is the most important thing. Just now I just looked at my son and forgot the most important thing.
"Solved." Shangguan Qing said with a smile.
Princess Xinyang asked suspiciously, "when did you solve it? Isn't there no way for the National Teacher hall?"
It has to be said that mother's intuition is strong.
Shangguan Qing had expected that she would have this doubt. According to the prepared lines, he said: "there is a kind of purple grass whose roots can extract a very powerful poison. Only one of 100 people can carry it. People who don't know martial arts like me are less likely to survive. But as long as they get through it, all injuries and poisons can be healed without medicine."
The mention of this method was so fierce that Princess Xinyang's heart lifted up.
"This kind of purple grass is rare. Fortunately, the Han family of the state of Yan planted a purple grass garden at the border. After the imperial army took the Han family, they confiscated their purple grass garden. I thought it was dead anyway. I might as well try. I almost didn't come back to see you alive."
As he spoke, he wrongfully grabbed Princess Xinyang's wrist, "the drug of shikonin is fierce. I've been in pain for a few days..."
When there are more details in a thing, the more it can be trusted.
True or false, real or false, coupled with his coquetry, it's really believable.
The sudden closeness of her son confused Princess Xinyang's mind.
"Have you ever thought about what to do if my mother doesn't believe it? My mother is not so easy to fool. She is very smart."
"I have my way."
It seems that the effect is achieved.
His mother was immersed in the joy of getting along with her son and lost her due judgment and doubt.
But in fact, even he couldn't tell whether he wanted to get close to his mother in order to achieve his goal, or whether he wanted to get close to her in his heart.
Princess Xinyang raised her other hand and held her son's hand tightly. She finally calmed down her mood and felt distressed again under his encounter.
"You've suffered."
She choked and said, "in the future, my mother won't let you suffer any more."
"Well." he nodded and gently pressed his cheek on the back of Princess Xinyang's hand, "my mother loves me most. It's much better than smelly brother! Smelly brother only knows how to annoy me!"
Princess Xinyang burst into tears.
……
At night, the mother and son had dinner in the side hall.
Princess Xinyang smiled at the opposite shangguanqing and said, "ah Heng said you don't eat fennel. I told the cooks not to put spices. Have a taste. It's not to your taste."
Shangguanqing had no appetite for food. These days, he forced himself to eat, or the accompanying medical officer gave him some rehydration.
But looking at a table of exquisite and delicious dishes, he moved his chopsticks and tasted every dish.
"Is it delicious?" Princess Xinyang asked with a smile, pretending not to see his strong swallow.
"Delicious." shangguanqing said, "it's better than Yanguo food to my taste."
Princess Xinyang smiled gently: "you can't eat more delicious. It's easy to accumulate food at night."
Shangguanqing's chopsticks paused. The tip of his nose was sour. His heart was filled with something, but his face was silent. He hummed, "well, eat less."
I can't eat it anymore.
Every bite is suffering.
Xiao Heng looked at him and Princess Xinyang. He opened his mouth and said to shangguanqing, "you've just eaten so many sugar gourd. Do you still have a stomach? Don't break it."
Princess Xinyang hurriedly said, "why didn't you say it earlier when you ate sugar gourd? Don't eat it soon."
"Oh." shangguanqing took a deep look at her, lowered his eyes and put down his chopsticks.
Xiao Heng said, "brother... I have to go back to the state of Yan."
Princess Xinyang tightened her hand under her wide sleeves and made great efforts to restrain her impulse to hold her head and cry.
She looked at the two brothers and was slightly surprised: "really? Qing'er doesn't stay in Zhao?"
Xiao Heng sighed and continued to act with them: "I discussed with my brother. We don't have to change our identity."
Princess Xinyang's swollen throat slipped, smiled and said, "when will she start?"
Xiao Heng said, "the border is at war. The king of the state of Yan has just been in the wind. No one in the court is in charge of the overall situation. My brother has to go back as soon as possible. Maybe it's just these two days?"
Princess Xinyang held vegetables in her right hand and pinched the fingernails of her left hand deeply into the palm of her hand.
She looked up at Guan Qing reluctantly, and her eyes were red unconsciously: "will you come back to see your mother?"
Shangguan Qing said with a smile, "of course, yes, brother?"
Xiao Heng: "yes."
I'll dress up as you and come back to visit my mother.
The tears of Princess Xinyang fell down with a click.
Shangguanqing looked at her reluctantly and stopped talking.
Princess Xinyang wiped her tears, red and swollen eyes and said, "I didn't expect you to leave when you came back. My mother went to pack up things for you. Yujin!"
"Ah."
Yujin opened the curtain and helped Princess Xinyang up from her chair.
Princess Xinyang went out of the side hall and walked through the long corridor.
After turning the corner, she finally couldn't help it anymore. In the wind and snow all over the sky, she covered her face with her hands and began to cry tremblingly.
……
In the house, Xiao Heng looked up at Guan Qing helplessly: "I see it."
Shangguan Qing whispered, "I know."
Xiao Heng asked, "do you want to go?"
Shangguanqing looked very calm. Every step he took was not a temporary intention, but a decision made from the beginning: "I can't die in front of her. I hope she will remember me... It's the way I live."
"Is a living son."
"Not a body that can no longer be awakened in her arms."
"That will be her lingering nightmare."
