Before it was time to give birth, Sicang announced that the palace banquet was over, and the ministers could go home early to accompany their families to watch the New Year. They did not have to go to the palace to pay New Year greetings tomorrow morning. They could just eat dumplings with their families at home and have a good time.
He took Yun Zishu back to the palace to rest.
As the delivery date approached, Zishu's body became a little heavy, so Sicang became more and more cautious, not daring to neglect or let her work too hard.
As soon as she returned to the palace and sat down, Tang Yue, who had been waiting here for a long time, stepped forward to take her pulse and said respectfully and gently: "The queen's delivery date is approaching. She should stay in the palace as much as possible after the New Year. There is no sky outside."
It’s freezing cold, so it’s better to go out less often.”
Eight experienced nuns and more than a dozen medical women have been on standby for many days. Several young wet nurses have also stayed in the side hall. All the necessary items have been prepared, just waiting for the stomach attack.
It is undoubtedly best to stay in the palace at this time. It is warm in the palace and there is no need to worry about catching cold. If a stomach attack occurs, they can respond appropriately as quickly as possible.
Sicang didn't say anything, but he had already made a note in his mind that the Chinese New Year holiday happened to be in the middle of the two days, so he could stay in the palace with Zishu. He had also begun to consider whether the Chinese New Year holiday could be extended for a few days, or whether the Chinese New Year holiday could be held until the Chinese New Year holiday.
, he asked people to hand over all the papers directly. If there is anything to do, just submit the papers, and there is no need to go to court in the first month.
"Don't be too nervous." Yun Zishu said, "You should do whatever you need to do. With Mrs. Wen and the medical girl here, there is nothing to worry about."
Tang Yue came out of the Shadow Pavilion and naturally understood the thoughts of the commander-in-chief. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "This can't be done. The empress has a golden body and a golden body. This firstborn is the eldest son of the emperor and the empress. No matter what, it must be treated extremely well."
Just be careful."
Sicang looked into her eyes: "This is our child, can I not worry about it?"
Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows: "Are you worried about the child?"
"I'm worried about the child, and I'm even more worried about you." Si Cang handed her a glass of warm water and said warmly, "Everyone knows that women have risks when giving birth to children. How can I feel at ease without you by my side?"
Yun Zishu's voice was gentle: "I still have a lot of things to do. God won't accept me so soon."
"Don't talk nonsense." Sicang pressed his lips against hers, "Even if we fulfill all our wishes, we still have to grow old together peacefully."
The fireworks outside were still going off non-stop, one sound covered up the other, the night sky was bright, Yun Zishu turned her head and looked out the window, and for a moment, the light and shadow as bright as day flashed, it was obviously noisy, but it seemed to make people...
My mood calmed down.
A person came in a hurry outside the hall.
Sicang and Yun Zishu turned around and saw Yuan Hai bowing and saluting: "Your Majesty, the Queen."
"What's the matter?"
"There is news from Jingyang Palace. The Queen Mother invites the Emperor and the Queen to come over." Yuan Hai spoke cautiously, for fear of upsetting the Emperor during the New Year. "The Queen Mother said... said that if the Emperor and the Queen don't go,
She...she hit her head against the wall and died."
Sicang's face turned cold, his expression became visibly gloomy, and the frightening sense of oppression between his brows and eyes made people tremble.
Yun Zishu also frowned: "The Queen Mother said so herself?"
"Yes." Yuan Hai leaned over uneasily, "Jingyang Palace is very tightly guarded. Not even an ant can fly out. The servants will never dare to spread the news. However, the palace servants who serve the Queen Mother have been telling the imperial guards that if tonight
Without seeing the Emperor and the Empress, something might happen to the Queen Mother. The Imperial Guards on duty at Jingyang Palace did not dare to take risks tonight, so they sent someone to notify the servants."
Yun Zishu remained silent.
I have to say that this trick of the Queen Mother is very effective.
Today is New Year's Eve, the whole country is celebrating, and the child in her belly is about to be born. The Queen Mother is sure that Sicang will not see blood at this time - especially the blood from his biological mother.
At this time, she was still restless and wanted to manipulate her son.
Yun Zishu knew that Sicang didn't have any feelings for the Queen Mother. If he really angered him, he wouldn't even blink if he cut off the Queen Mother's head, but it was definitely not at this time.
"The Queen Mother does not have the courage. After all, everyone knows that it is better to die than live." She smiled and said, "Sicang, you don't have to be angry about this."
Sicang shook her hand and said, "I'll take a trip and see what she wants to do."
Yun Zishu shook her head: "Wait a little longer, let's go together."
Sicang frowned.
"I guess the Queen Mother just wants to find someone to have a meal with." Yun Zishu said lightly, "After all, she is also a human being. During the Chinese New Year when everyone is getting together with their families, she will inevitably feel lonely and sad when she is alone."
The concubines in the harem could have meals together, but the Queen Mother lived alone in Jingyang Palace, so loneliness was unavoidable.
Sicang didn't respond. The Queen Mother's desolate and sad mood was her own fault and had nothing to do with anyone else.
"Xianglan." Yun Zishu turned around and ordered, "Go to the imperial kitchen and ask them to make some dumplings in advance. I will go to Jingyang Palace with the emperor after midnight."
Hearing this, Si Cang frowned even more tightly: "You still want to sleep, there is no need to see her."
"It's so noisy tonight that I can't sleep for the time being." Yun Zishu said in a leisurely voice, "It's okay if you don't go. Anyway, there is no need for us to be threatened by her, but if you go, I will go with you."
Sicang didn't want to go. If it weren't for the sake of the child in Zishu's belly, he could even send someone to see the Queen Mother off.
However, no matter how cold and tough he is in front of outsiders, he still has weaknesses. He doesn't dare to take any risk that may hurt Yun Zishu - it is unlucky to see blood at this juncture.
After a moment of silence, he told Yuan Hai: "Send someone to tell her that the Queen and I will arrive in an hour."
"yes."
Sicang reached out and hugged her, his voice sounded a little low: "Don't wrong yourself for me in the future, no matter what."
"How do you know this is a grievance?" Yun Zishu laughed, "You can think of it as a winner showing off to the loser. How about we add insult to injury and appreciate the loser's embarrassment?"
Sicang shook his head slowly: "This is not your interest."
She has no habit of adding insult to injury. She has always been so calm and unhurried. She is not afraid of the strong and does not bother to bully the weak. She is never humble or arrogant, which makes him feel that she has never changed.
Yun Zishu leaned against him quietly and said, "Sicang."
"Um."
"Do you know who this person is leaning against you right now?" Yun Zishu turned her head and locked her eyes between his brows, "It's Yun Zishu, and..." Queen Dongshu?
Because someone from the palace was there, the last four words "four" were not uttered.
But Si Cang obviously understood and was startled: "Is there a difference?"
"have."
"I make it very clear, Shu'er, don't doubt me." Si Cang kissed her cheek and couldn't help but hug her tighter, "My feelings for you stem from the years when we were dependent on each other, and those have long since
The past that has passed away for many years is caused by my obsession to make up for it."
