When I woke up, as he said, the palace maid no longer asked me what I wanted to eat. Instead, she served me a table full of food. I did not choose to eat, so I ate some of the dishes …
The time was still early, but he didn't know what to do, so he simply put on some thick clothes, wanting to see if his Senior Brother could play the zither. Suddenly, he really wanted to hear Qiu Yue Ye's song.
It was beautiful and with a hint of sweetness and music, but behind it, with a little worry, a little quiet, I think I need to listen, I want to tell myself that I need to put something down to get something, and that's my child.
No matter what I want to put down, I want children.
Today, the snow had unexpectedly stopped falling. The weak sunlight shone on the snow-covered armor, making it feel colder and colder. It was better for the sun to shrink back before it continued to snow.
Unfortunately, when he reached the pavilion, he still did not see his senior brother.
Senior Brother's biggest wish is to become a zither master in the palace. He doesn't want any fame or profit, he only loves the zither, he loves pure love, and this kind of pure persistence makes me admire him the most.
They walked and walked, and for some reason, they arrived at the Begonia Courtyard. The palace doors were wide open, and the thin sunlight shone on the snow, as if it had been frozen for a long time.
He didn't let me go back to the Begonia Academy, but that doesn't mean that he wants me to stay in the Zhenghua Palace. That's impossible, and it's also a precedent that has never been set before.
In the end, the door of the living room was opened, but no one came in or out. I pushed open the room on the right side of the house.
I want to always be proud and aloof, always be alone, and keep the peace in my heart, and have my own beliefs. Even though I can't be together with Xia Junchang, I'm still me.
I hate him, I don't love him, I don't flatter him like the women of the harem do. But one piece of news was enough to break the faith and perseverance in my heart, and the ladies who followed me sensibly wiped the tables and wiped the stools.
I said softly, "Put those things away in the shed."
"Yes, Fengyi." The palace maid hurriedly carried away the things on the ground.
It's the best thing, I told myself, to be blind.
Just as he sat down, he heard a moan coming from the other side of the room. The moans were getting more urgent and were getting more shrill.
I quickly stood up and ran out. I saw Lin Shangyi on the left side of the room holding his stomach with one hand and supporting himself with the railing with the other.
"What's wrong?" I ran over and saw the fear on her face, and I was too frightened to do anything about it.
Tears streamed down her face. Her hands tightly gripped my hands as if she was afraid that I would run away. She pleaded, "Zhiqiu, save my child. Help me, Imperial Physician Xuan." On her green skirt, there was already a little bit of red, staining it thick.
Her eyes were so frightened, so pitiful, her nails digging into my hands, her cheeks so wet with tears she almost knelt down to me. "Knew how to save me, save my child, please."
"Quick, call the imperial physician over." I was frightened, too, and cried out in horror to the ladies.
A palace maid rushed out, and I tightly hugged Lin Shangyi who was unsteady, even my heart was trembling with fear.
Heavens, who would help her? What had happened?
The place they were staying at was extremely quiet, so much so that even the palace maids didn't show their heads. With such a cold favor towards her, and the fact that Madame Li didn't like Lin Shangyi, she was still a person who kept her head up high, a living person.
Two maids came over to help me carry Lin Shangyi to bed, but she was so scared that I clenched my teeth tightly.
There was a kind of helpless bitterness in this Begonia Courtyard. It made me want to cry. I wanted to scream out loud.
After a while, Sang Liangyuan also came. She pretended that she didn't know anything as she asked this and that. Lin Shangyi ignored her and only looked at me while panting.
The doctor took her pulse, and as I stared at the blood smeared on her green dress, I felt a chill in my heart. He could only hold Lin Shangyi's cold hands tightly, giving her some warmth and support.
If I don't come back, who will help her, who will save her.
"The Emperor has arrived." His father-in-law's sonorous voice rang out.
Everyone hurriedly greeted him. He walked over and helped me up. He heaved a sigh of relief. "I thought something happened to you?" Tightly hugging onto my chest and feeling my fear, he lightly patted my back. "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
He turned around and said coldly, "What's going on?"
"Chenqie doesn't know either." Xia Liangyuan's face was full of sadness. "Your Majesty, don't worry. Sister Lin will definitely be fine. The heavens will bless them."
"Zhiqiu, go to Zhenghua Palace first." he whispered, gesturing to one of his ladies to come and help me.
I looked at Lin Shangyi, still worried.
He took the thick cloak from the palace maid and personally tied a knot with it. "Good girl, you're pregnant right now, so you shouldn't be scared. Nothing will happen to me here."
"But, she …" I'm really worried.
"She will be fine, I promise." He squeezed my face gently. "Don't disturb the baby, go back first."
I don't think I'm as good here as he is.
I know what a child is to Lin Shangyi. That was all she had, everything in her life that she had hoped for and been happy for. No matter how much suffering she had suffered, she was not afraid, but … This suddenly really made my heart jump.
I am also a lowly person, and I am still doted upon by him. I don't know how many eyes are watching from the shadows, but I am afraid that my child will end up in the same situation as her. He placed one hand on his abdomen, tightly holding onto his clothes as he followed the palace maid into Zhenghua Palace.
When he came back at noon, he was sitting on a chair with an indifferent expression, not allowing anyone to get close to him.
I tiptoed up behind him and gently rubbed his stiff shoulders.
He looked at me, closed his eyes, and let out a long breath. "It's all right, it's just that she's too tired to have a baby, the doctors have prescribed medicine, and there are maids taking care of her. Don't worry too much." I leaned gently against him and lowered my eyes to look at him. "Is that all?"
"If you're so interested in me, I'd be able to comfort you." He asked, with a slight grumble.
I smiled gently, "I know. Of the palace maids that are serving me now, one is called Mi Er, one is called Baixia, and the other is called Lingyue, right?"
He looked at me attentively for a moment. Then, his thin lips curled up as he smiled and said, "That's right. At last, I have to be more careful."
Lightly pulling, he pulled me onto his feet and wrapped my arms around my stomach. "Little thing Zhi Qiu, don't worry, Zhen won't let anyone hurt you. Zhen won't hide it from you, although you won't talk much, but your brain is very smart. This matter is related to Li Fei, Zhen can't allow her to be too presumptuous. His tone was somewhat cold.
But he wasn't the source of all this, and I couldn't say it out loud.
Leaning into his arms, he said, "Lin Shangyi doesn't want anything. She just wants her child to be fine."
He sneered and rubbed my cold fingers. "Zhiqiu, you're too naive."
He must have been thinking too much. Fortunately, he was fine, but at least he gave me a warning. Having a child in the palace is not a simple matter.
After eating and sleeping for a while, he woke up and the snow was falling again.
But the palace maid came to report that Zhang Xiabao wanted to see me.
She once asked me, "Do you want to become the emperor's concubine? If the two of us work together, we can fight against the Yang family." She even helped me secretly, but I didn't do anything for her. And I also think how can I become the emperor's concubine? I, Yan Hua, am not outstanding. I know my own limitations, but she has the same level of confidence in me.
She and I are cousins, but we are his women.
Zhang Xiebao was still as beautiful as ever. She was beautiful and round, with an intoxicating glow in the autumn water. She brought a few palace maids with her. As soon as she arrived, she smiled at me and affectionately called out, "Sister Zhiqiu."
This made me feel a little awkward. I laughed awkwardly as I looked at the floor and said, "Zhang Cai, please take a seat. Ling Yue, quickly pour some tea."
She smiled and said, "Zhiqiu, good sister, we are cousins. Don't call me Zhang Cai because you don't have to call me Xi Bao jie-jie. "Also, you're pregnant, how can you drink tea? Girl, you really can't drink tea."
I embarrassedly said, "Elder sister Xibao, you already know all about it."
She smiled and rolled her eyes at me coquettishly. "What secrets do you think the palace has? It's a good thing, but in Sister Zhiqiu's eyes, I'm an outsider. I won't be told anything."
No, I, alas, I'm really embarrassed.
He didn't want to be his woman, so he did it anyway.
She turned her head to the palace maids and lightly said, "Both of you, leave. I haven't seen Sister Zhiqiu for a long time, there are some things that I want to say to her."
When the palace maid heard this, she shut the door and retreated outside.
She smiled gently, took a sip of tea and said softly, "Zhiqiu, don't be embarrassed, as the emperor's woman, you are worth being happy over. It's rare for the emperor to spoil you so much, and now you're pregnant with a dragon embryo. He still had to be careful. It wasn't just Li Fei who was pregnant with her baby, but Lin Shangyi as well. But what about now? Lin Shangyi almost lost his virginity, who was he talking about? Of course it was Li Fei. These two women were pregnant. Zhiqiu, you have always lived a simple life, and I like you very much. Right now, you are in the limelight, so you better be careful in everything you do. "
I nodded my head, but could only sigh. Lin Shangyi's matter had already frightened me like a frightened bird.
Her jade-like fingers lightly tapped on the table. She raised her eyes and smiled as she asked, "Zhiqiu, how do I treat you?"
"Very good." I also owe her favors, but I also know that her goal is to become the imperial concubine, a person above others. If he pampered me, wouldn't Zhang Xiebao be jealous? He was proud to tell me that women are jealous.
So I feel that I don't know how to tell Zhang Xibao, in front of her, always have the attitude of inferiority, what she says, I will say.
He looked into the distance with a cold expression: "Then let me tell you one more thing, the one you have to be most careful of is esteemed Yang Fei. Sooner or later she will announce that you will go and use the Yang Family's method to win you over, and once imperial concubine Li Fei loses her heart, she will be the one to benefit the most. You better remember, none of the Yang Family members are good people."
After saying a few more words, Zhang Xibao left. However, my heart felt heavy.
It was just a child, but the palace was already a exile in the dark waves.
