Chapter 88 Chang Xuan
The autumn is long, and Chang'an has been favored since the day of pregnancy. As the queen gradually recovers, the great power of the harem returns to her hands. However, Chang'an ignored it. With this little life in her belly, she seemed to feel that everything in this world is no longer so important.
Outside Chonghua Palace, Chu Luo ordered people to plant peach blossoms one by one, so that they can display all the spring buds when the child is born in the spring next year.
Chonghua, Chonghua really responds to its resounding name.
Early that morning, there was a joyful mood at the door. Chang'an was about to get up to see it, but he heard two familiar and tender voices suddenly coming from outside the hall.
"Sister--"
Chang'an looked at Changxuan and Changle running towards her. She looked at the figures of the two and cried with joy.
"Why are you here?" Chang'an held Changxuan with one hand and hugged Changle again with one wall, and was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
Changxuan smiled and cried, held Chang'an's hand tightly, and said excitedly, "It was the emperor who asked us to come. He said he was afraid that the elder sister would be lonely in the palace, so he asked us to accompany the elder sister. Oh, by the way, the second and third brothers would come to the palace for some time. He wanted to wait for them, but after thinking about it, he still wanted to see the elder sister early, so he came first with Changle..." Changxuan said Yibi, Yibi took things out of the package he carried with him, "Mom said, the elder sister has nothing to lack in the palace, and the only thing I miss is probably the food in our hometown. My mother made a lot of things and asked me to bring them to the elder sister."
She took out the things like that, and was so tired that she was sweating. When Wanxiang saw it, she couldn't help but smile, "I'll help the second lady."
Changxuan's face turned slightly red, but she was just in love, so Wanxiang intervened. Chang'an looked at it with a smile, and suddenly saw that Changle's face was a little unhappy, so he pulled her in front of him and asked softly, "Why are Changle unhappy?"
Changle was already ten years old at that time, and she looked better than when she was young in Chang'an. She pouted and said unhappy, "It's not only Aunt Lan who loves her elder sister, but her mother also misses her elder sister...but...but..."
Chang'an felt a little sad when she heard Changle mention her mother. She had always had a lot of relationships with her mother, so she was used to her coldness. However, seeing Changle's appearance now, she couldn't help feeling a little sad. She gently pinched Changle's noodles and smiled, "The snacks made in the kitchen in the eldest sister are so delicious. Will the elder sister ask Sister Hanyan to take you to eat later?"
As he said that, Chang'an raised his head and gave Han Yan a wink. Han Yan immediately smiled and came forward, stretched out his hand to lead Changle, "Come here, Miss Three." When Changle turned his head, Han Yan glanced at her face, couldn't help laughing, and joked with a smile, "Master, you see, Miss Three looks really similar to you, it's just carved from the same mold."
Chang'an chuckled, Changle and she were sisters of the same father and mother, so they naturally looked more similar. Thinking of this, Chang'an handed Changle's little hand to Han Yan's palm and smiled gently, "Be good, Changle, let Sister Han Yan take you to eat."
Changle looked at Chang'an, suddenly pulled his hand back, and lay on Chang'an's lap, and said more and more unhappy, "I don't want a palace maid to take me there."
As soon as these words were spoken, Han Yan's smile immediately froze on the corner of his mouth, and he turned his face timidly to look at Chang'an.
Chang'an felt angry and said unconsciously, "Changle, how can you speak like this? Apologize to Sister Han Yan."
Changle stubbornly turned his head aside and refused to see her again, "No, I am the master and she is a slave. Why should I apologize to her?"
At this time, Chang'an's face was gone, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Seeing this, Changxuan hurriedly came forward to take Changle's hand and smoothed the scene, "Changle, can you take you there, okay?"
Changle held Changxuan's hand and finally nodded. Wanxiang was a little stunned and immediately made a way out, "Miss Second, Miss Third, please come here."
When Changxuan led Changle's figure gradually walked away, Chang'an sighed softly, looked at Han Yan, and apologized, "Don't be surprised. Changle, which my mother only has when she is old, must be spoiled. Don't take it to heart."
Han Yan had a forced smile on his face, but the smile just pulled the corner of his mouth slightly, without any sincerity. "I am the palace maid who serves people, so it's not a problem for the third lady to say anything."
After hearing this, Chang'an frowned and said, "How do you say this? Changle was young and didn't want to say something, don't take it to your heart. Your relationship with this palace for eight years is as close as a sister. How can you just be an ordinary palace maid?"
Han Yan smiled slightly when he heard this, "With this words from the master, I will be content."
Chang'an held Han Yan's hand, and his eyes were filled with deep gratitude and emotion. He couldn't help but comfort him, "You are not young anymore. You are twenty-two years old this year. You should be married long ago. Don't worry, I will definitely help you find a good family and marry you out in a grand manner."
Han Yan heard Chang'an say this, a trace of blush flashed across his face immediately, and he lowered his head shyly, "I want to serve my master for a few more years..."
"It's a matter of time before men get married, and women get married, it's a matter of time before." Chang'an's smile gradually became a little warmer, "Hanyan, tell me, do you have someone you like?"
When Han Yan heard this, his face suddenly turned red and he hurriedly hurriedly hurriedly hurriedly hurriedly hurriedly, "Where is there, Master, don't make fun of me anymore!"
Chang'an smiled slightly. Seeing Han Yan like this, she suddenly remembered Wan Xiang and He Sheng, and her heart suddenly trembled.
Thinking of this, when Xiangfei’s bamboo curtain at the door gently hit, someone came in.
The visitor was Zhu Zheng from the Imperial Hospital. As soon as he came in, he saluted Chang'an and said respectfully, "I heard that Chonghua Palace is very lively from afar. Are there guests from the Imperial Concubine Palace?"
Chang'an smiled softly and said, "It's just that my two sisters are here, so it's also more lively."
As he was talking, Changxuan had already led Changle back to the hall. As soon as Changxuan entered the hall, he saw Zhu Zheng here, and his face turned slightly red. He turned his head and looked at Chang'an without hesitation.
A smile appeared on Chang'an's lips and said in a warm voice, "This is the chief of the Imperial Hospital, the Imperial Doctor Zhu, the Imperial Doctor. This is my second sister, Shen Changxuan. The younger one is my little sister, Shen Changle."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zheng immediately came to his senses and bowed to the two, "I have met the second lady and the third lady in Zhu Zheng."
Changxuan's face turned red and she immediately said, "Mr. Zhu doesn't have to be too polite."
Changle just glanced at Zhu Zheng with his eyes, and suddenly shook Changxuan's hand away and sat next to Chang'an.
Zhu Zheng raised his head and looked at Changxuan, his eyes were a little dull. This expression fell into Han Yan's eyes, and he couldn't help but smile and joked, "Doctor Zhu looked at the second lady's expression, as if he was crazy about seeing it."
Han Yan was quick and the others were talking quickly. As soon as these words were spoken, Zhu Zheng and Changxuan were all red. Zhu Zheng immediately turned his face and nodded deeply, "I am so offended, please forgive me, Miss."
Changxuan was stunned and didn't know how to answer. Wanxiang pulled her sleeve aside and said in a gentle voice, "Miss. Second, please go to the Empress's side."
Changxuan responded and left voluntarily.
Zhu Zheng still stood there without saying a word. Han Yan looked at him sideways and reminded him without realizing it, "Doctor Zhu is coming this time, isn't he going to ask the Empress for Ping'an's pulse?"
"Ah, yes." Zhu Zheng slowly came to his senses and walked to Chang'an to sit down.
Chang'an's soft satin sleeves quietly retreated to the white wrist, Zhu Zheng gently covered the white gauze with his fingers, but his eyes fell slightly on Changxuan's face.
Chang'an took all the expression of Zhu Zheng at this moment and quietly glanced at Changxuan. Seeing that she was just keeping her head down, her cheeks were burning red, she couldn't help but have some plans in her heart.
"The empress's pulse is calm and everything is safe, don't worry." Zhu Zheng was about to get up after the diagnosis of the pulse, but Changxuan stood up before him. Seeing this, Chang'an couldn't help but smile and said, "Doctor Zhu, this sister from my palace has just entered the palace and is not very familiar with everything. She said she wanted to go outside Chonghua Palace. If the imperial physician doesn't mind, could she take Changxuan with her?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard Chang'an's words.
Zhu Zheng's face turned red after a choking, and he immediately lowered his head, but he dared not speak.
Changxuan suddenly raised her eyes, looked at Chang'an in shock and panic, and murmured, "Sister, this is probably..."
"Let Wanxiang go with you." Chang'an took a sip of tea and gave Wanxiang a wink. Wanxiang immediately understood and turned around and said respectfully, "Doctor Zhu, second lady, please come here."
Zhu Zheng and Changxuan no longer refused and followed Wanxiang one after another.
The figures of the two gradually became farther away, and Han Yan came to Chang'an and said with a clever smile, "Master, look at me, this Imperial Doctor Zhu and the Second Miss are of some interest to each other."
Chang'an chuckled and was about to open his lips when he suddenly saw Changle open his eyes wide and hear the conversation between the two. His heart trembled slightly. He quickly called Xiao Shanzi to lead Changle, and then he said, "How can't I see it in this palace? However, Aunt Lan must not let Changxuan marry the person in the palace."
Han Yan frowned and said, "Dr. Zhu is the chief imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital. His future is bright. Although the imperial physician is not as noble as a prince, in this palace, in addition to eunuchs and guards, it would be good if Doctor Zhu and the second lady are in love, it would be better to marry him."
When Chang'an suddenly heard Han Yan mention the word "Prince", he suddenly remembered Chu Ying and asked, "I heard that the emperor's eighth brother, King Xiangyang, had entered Luoyang two days ago. Is King Jiangling still in Luoyang?"
Han Yan was slightly stunned and frowned and said, "I've been gone for a long time. This Jiangling King is so strange. I heard that the prince originally agreed to stay in the palace for a few months to accompany the emperor and the queen mother. But a few days ago, I suddenly returned to Jiangling. No matter how others persuaded me, I couldn't speak."
Chang'an's eyes were as clear as water, but his sigh spread silently. In a faint sense, she seemed to feel something deeply touched in her heart, but she didn't know why.
