At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the weather was extremely cold.
Jiang Qing almost never left Qiyun Palace, but in the Nuan Pavilion, it was so hot that she just wanted to sleep.
The emperor came three times a day, and she was asleep twice.
During the Laba Festival, the emperor gave Laba porridge to the Lu family, and the person who came to deliver the message was Yu Deshui.
He said to Wang Xiu: "The emperor's intention is to ask Mrs. Lu to come to the palace tomorrow in the name of gratitude and check the pulse of the imperial concubine."
Wang Xiu's eyes lit up and she asked, "Is the imperial concubine pregnant?"
Yu Deshui smiled and said: "The imperial doctor responsible for diagnosing the pulse of the imperial concubine said that the month is still young, so he is not sure yet and will have to check again in a few days."
"Didn't the Emperor want to confirm in advance to make the Imperial Concubine happy? He knows that the Imperial Concubine has been looking forward to this child for more than half a year."
Wang Xiu said with a clear look: "Don't worry, I will go to the palace after breakfast tomorrow and I will definitely be able to get this matter done."
Yu Deshui quickly thanked Wang Xiu for sending him out the second door, but he refused to let him go any further. Before leaving, he took a box of beads and placed them in the concierge, saying they were for Miss Lu Xinran.
The concierge carried it back to Wang Xiu. Wang Xiu opened it and looked at it. There were all kinds of things, including beads and hairbands worn by the little girl. It seemed that he had been searching for them for a long time.
No wonder she had to give it away. Was it because she was afraid she wouldn't accept it?
Wang Xiu smiled and said: "Send it to Aunt Fang and ask her to keep it for Miss. Record it in the account and show it to Miss in the future."
The concierge responded and quickly left with the box in his arms.
When Lu Yunhong came back in the evening, Wang Xiu talked about Jiang Qing's pregnancy. Lu Yunhong smiled and said, "No wonder they all go to Hongluo Temple to ask for a child. It turns out it is somewhat effective."
After finishing his words, he said to Wang Xiu again: "I remember that you have gone to pay homage several times..."
With a click, Wang Xiu slapped him.
Lu Yunhong shut up knowingly.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xiu was alone in bed at night, counting: "My eldest sister-in-law has two children, and she wants to have another one. My second sister-in-law has one child, and she wants to have another one... Third sister-in-law is about to give birth, and she may have more children in the future. Mom and dad will give birth to you."
Four, you have to give birth to at least eight, the branches and leaves are spreading!"
After Lu Yunhong heard this, he couldn't stop laughing.
He said to Wang Xiu: "Don't you know that the children of married daughters are no longer considered Lu family members?"
Wang Xiudao: "If you want to put it like this, my mother-in-law only gave birth to you, and I gave birth to Chengxi. We are equal!"
Lu Yunhong turned over, hugged her and said, "Yes, I saw the children growing up and looking cute, so I mentioned it to you."
"But if you think about it carefully, pregnancy is hard and giving birth is painful. Forget it, we don't want it anymore."
Wang Xiu chuckled and said, "You still have a conscience."
Lu Yunhong said: "Not only do I have a conscience, I also have a heart that loves you."
"Daughter-in-law, please sleep with me in your arms. It will make me feel that you need me very much."
Wang Xiu turned his back directly.
Lu Yunhong moved up to her without thinking, held her hand and said, "I have forgotten that so many people ask you to take care of their children. Although you have not given birth to any more children, you often see women in childbirth pain.
I was negligent."
"From now on, we will just watch others give birth. If we like it, we can have a few more adopted sons and daughters. Our family can't afford to support them anyway."
Wang Xiu confessed honestly: "I can't afford it. Your son asked me for pocket money today, saying he wanted to buy toys for his friends. I asked him who his friend was, and he said he just came from the school, his name is Li Qing.
.”
"I asked Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, and she said that he is the son of Li Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
"Your son has started asking for money. Just wait, this is just the beginning."
Lu Yunhong said: "Then let him buy it, as long as he is happy. Our son is very kind, just like you, and he will definitely make good friends in the future."
Wang Xiudao: "I'm not worried, son. It's just that Xinran is the most like you. She seems to know everything and understand everything. Those round eyes turned and looked at a ghost."
Lu Yunhong was extremely happy when he thought of his daughter.
The little guy is really like him and very smart.
"My son and daughter are all my treasures, and so are you."
Lu Yunhong said, hugging Wang Xiu and not letting go.
Wang Xiucai was too lazy to go crazy with him. She was going to the palace at dawn, so she just wanted to seize the time to sleep a little longer.
Fortunately, Lu Yunhong only excitedly hugged her and rubbed her a few times. When he calmed down, he quickly fell asleep.
The couple had a good night's sleep and entered the palace one after another the next morning.
The emperor came to Qiyun Palace right after the morning court, without even having time to change into court clothes.
Followed by Lu Yunhong, who came to see his wife, they almost bumped into each other when they entered Qiyun Palace.
Not only did the emperor not blame him, he also asked Lu Yunhong: "How did you feel when your wife was pregnant with Chengxi?"
Lu Yunhong said strangely: "The prince will be here soon! Is the emperor sure he wants to ask this??"
emperor:"……"
Isn't it just asking? If you don't tell me, why bother mentioning your son?
He said: "I won't feel anything at that time."
Lu Yunhong said: "I felt like being a father at that time."
emperor:"……"
Forget it, we can't talk anymore.
Aunt Su happily welcomed her out and whispered: "Mrs. Lu said she came to express her gratitude. She hasn't shown it to the imperial concubine yet. She should be waiting for the emperor."
When the emperor heard this, his pace became faster and faster.
He and Lu Yunhong went in and saw Jiang Qingwai talking on the heated kang, looking very happy.
Wang Xiu stood up and saluted. When he saw Lu Yunhong following him, he asked curiously: "What are you doing here?"
Lu Yunhong was stunned: "Yes, what am I here to do?"
The emperor wanted to laugh when he saw his dumbfounded look, so he spoke out to save the situation: "The weather is cold, and there is nothing going on in the court. I asked him to come, and I can send you out of the palace in a while."
Wang Xiudao: "Since it is the emperor's will, I have no choice but to obey it."
After that, he asked Lu Yunhong to wait in the outer hall.
Jiang Qing said: "How is this possible? Let Mr. Lu come in."
Wang Xiudao: "Your Majesty, please don't worry about him. His skin is thick and thick and he can't freeze. I'll be leaving soon."
"It's just that I haven't been here for a long time. Please give the imperial concubine a safe pulse first."
Jiang Qing still felt that it was not good to leave Lu Yunhong outside. This was in Qiyun Palace, but she didn't have a host to entertain guests, which was outrageous.
But the emperor gave her a slight signal and asked her to follow Wang Xiu's arrangement.
Jiang Qing was confused for a moment, what happened?
She stretched out her hand anxiously, wanting to say that she had nothing to do recently, it was just that her menstruation was late...
Her period is late!!
Jiang Qing's eyes widened and she covered her mouth in surprise. She couldn't believe it, but she was excitedly looking forward to it.
Wang Xiu smiled and said calmly: "The imperial concubine asked me to take a pulse and I will know."
Jiang Qing stretched out her hand tremblingly, but before she could say anything, her eyes turned red.
She's so worried, isn't she...
If not, the emperor would be very disappointed, right?
She began to want to withdraw her hand, but at this moment, Wang Xiu said: "My pulse is good, but the month is still shallow, not even a month."
"Calculating the time, it should be the Mid-Autumn Festival next year. Congratulations to the imperial concubine and the emperor on having a lovely baby."
Jiang Qing cried with joy, this was the child she had been looking forward to for more than half a year.
Seeing her like this, the emperor quickly stepped forward to comfort her, hugging her and coaxing her softly.
In this situation, why don't you stay and express your opinion?
