Chapter 353 Night in the Cold Palace
"I want to meet Xu Jieyu's child."
As soon as these words came out, he and Chang Qing were stunned for a moment, and the concubines around them all exploded when they heard this——
"How can this be done, a vicious woman like her!"
"Yes, Xu Jieyu was killed by her, and now she still wants to take care of the child..."
"Be careful, children will be frightened when they see this kind of person."
During these days in the palace, I have already learned to automatically miss these words, but he frowned and said coldly: "Everyone, go down."
The concubines looked at me and I looked at you. Their eyes were a little strange, but they didn’t say anything. They came up and bowed to him and Chang Qing and then silently withdrew. I stood with my back to them.
Smelling the waves of delicate fragrance of powder slowly drifted away, and only the coldness remained around me.
Pei Yuanhao turned to look at Chang Qing: "Go and see the eldest prince."
It wasn't until this time that I realized that Xu Youling gave birth to a son.
I couldn't help but think of that time, when I was a palace maid next to her, we talked about what she said about whether she would have a boy or a girl in the future. That woman who was so weak that she couldn't even protect herself, in order not to delay the future of her child,
Also for the children
For a peaceful life, she would rather wish to give birth to a daughter, but now, she has given birth to the first prince of the Celestial Dynasty, Pei Yuanhao's first biological flesh and blood, but she can no longer see how her child will end up.
This is destined to be a rough life.
What about me, where is my child?
I subconsciously stretched out my hand and covered my lower abdomen with my long sleeves - this child has reached bliss before he even had time to be born. Could it be that he only needed pain once to avoid a lifetime of pain?
At this time, we had already walked outside the conservatory. Chang Qing took me in. As soon as I entered the door, I felt that the ground dragon inside was very hot. The warm air was filled with frankincense. The palace maids and nurses inside hurriedly came out to help the emperor and the emperor.
The Queen salutes.
As soon as I turned my head, I saw a slightly squirming baby on the big bed in the inner room.
I watched in a daze, and subconsciously walked over slowly. Chang Qing seemed to want to follow, but at this time, Pei Yuanhao had already walked over. She thought about it, stayed outside, and asked softly
The matter of the nanny’s child.
I didn't see it clearly until I walked to the bedside.
It is red and wrinkled, like a skinned kitten, with two long eyeliners closed, a red little nose, and a pouty little mouth underneath.
This is——her child?
At this moment, there was an indescribable feeling of sadness and heartache, but also a heart full of love. I gently leaned down and looked at him.
The child seemed to feel something and let out a trembling whimper. I thought he was going to cry and subconsciously wanted to reach out and hug him, but the child frowned and slowly opened his eyes.
They were a pair of dark eyes, like the deepest night, but when the sunlight came through, you could see the clearest light reflected in them. There was an indescribable and thorough feeling. He was obviously just a child who didn't understand anything.
But that glance gave people the feeling that even their souls were seen through before his eyes.
I stared at him in a daze. At this time, the child looked at me above his head blankly, and suddenly opened his mouth.
He... smiled?
I was so shocked that I couldn't speak. Pei Yuanhao on the side saw it and was slightly surprised. He looked at the child and then at me.
This child - who does he look like? Xu Youling? I can't tell it yet, but looking at the shape of the child's eyebrows and the long, slightly raised eyes, it seems... like the man next to him.
It's his child, of course it looks like him.
If my child didn't die and could be born smoothly, would it be like this? With beautiful eyebrows, long and slightly raised eyes, a red nose, and a pouty mouth, would it be possible?
Are they all like him? Could it be that they are a little like me?
I couldn't help but look at him, but found that he was also looking at me.
The destructive anger just now is gone, and my face is no longer just frozen, but my eyes are getting hotter and hotter, as if I will shed tears in the next moment.
I slowly stood up straight and looked at him: "My servant, please leave."
After saying that, she turned around and walked out without looking at him. When she passed by Chang Qing, she also glanced at her. She just nodded without saying a word, but the father-in-law standing at the door probably
I was a little confused, so when he came up to greet me, his tone softened a little.
When I walked out of the door, the warmth in the room receded and a chill came over me.
I stood at the door and looked up at the sky above my head - it was obviously spring...
Spring was supposed to be just a light drizzle, but when we arrived at Leng Palace, it was raining heavily. A silver-gray rain curtain blocked everything in front of us, and we could only see the high gray walls and the gray houses inside.
p>
The rain fell on the ground, stirring up the slight fishy smell of the earth and rushing to the nose.
In fact, I like this smell more than the smell of powder, but it just makes me more embarrassed at this time. Halfway through the road holding an umbrella, I was already soaked to the skin, and the baggage in my hand was completely soaked with water.
Xiu hurriedly wanted to hold an umbrella for me and said: "Talent, it's better for the slave to get the things."
I frowned and didn't bother to look at her: "Which of your eyes sees the talented person here?"
"Uh..."
She was startled, but Nanny Wu had already come up and slapped her: "You are still yelling, if others hear it, it will be another problem."
"Oh." She stuck out her tongue, but still wanted to come up and grab the bundle in my hand, saying, "Well, girl, I will help you get this."
I glanced at her helplessly, and then at Nanny Wu. I didn’t say anything, I just put my arms around her and held an umbrella together: “Come here.”
I know what happened this time, and she was the one who felt the most uncomfortable. I even asked Aunt Wu to scold her for a while, but looking at me now, she still felt guilty. I also know that feeling does not rely on time and people's hearts.
Slowly smoothing it out, it will be a long scar, and no longer said anything, a few people walked towards the courtyard in the cold palace in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
As soon as I walked some distance away from the yard, I saw a person standing vaguely in front of me.
I took a closer look and it turned out to be Grandma Qian!
"Aunt Qian?" I was stunned for a moment and hurriedly walked over. Sure enough, she was standing there holding an umbrella with an unhappy expression on her face. She looked at me as if she felt a little distressed: "You really are.
, thinking about me."
I didn’t know what to say, so I could only smile.
Aunt Qian's eyes moved behind me again, her eyebrows raised: "Oh, you're not dead yet."
"You haven't died yet, how can I be willing to die?"
I looked back and saw that it was Grandma Wu. The two of them were standing in the rain like needles, showing no sign of weakness.
In fact, when Aunt Wu was making rice soup for me, I had a vague feeling that she should have been someone close to Queen Zhaolie. Now that she and Aunt Qian are like this, I am even more sure that they are just two people who look like children.
, which makes people laugh a bit.
Shui Xiu said anxiously: "Let's let Cai - let the girl go in first, it's still raining!"
The two of them just came to their senses and hurriedly walked inside.
The house was ordered by the chamberlain, but it had only been lightly cleaned, and it still exuded a faint musty smell. Shuixiu frowned as soon as she entered: "How can you live in this place?"
Aunt Qian was unhappy when she heard this: "I can't live here. Who do you think you are, a royal concubine?"
Shui Xiu choked back on her words and pouted.
I smiled faintly. When I lived here in the past, I was used to Grandma Qian talking like this. I was afraid Shuixiu would have to be patient for a while, so I took my baggage from her hand: "Okay, let's go see you."
Let’s have our own house.”
This time I was demoted to the cold palace, and my title as a talented person has been cut off. I am an ordinary maidservant, and there is no one to serve me. Shuixiu is a guilty person, and I could have just played a few tricks, but because of this incident.
Due to the burden of the incident, she was also put in the cold palace; I did not let Xiaoyu follow me, but Nanny Wu went to the queen to plead guilty, saying that she was an old man in the palace, but she failed to advise the master to be careful in his words and deeds.
Disasters are brought to the cold palace by oneself.
Although they came together, their status is the same as mine, and they also have their own place to live.
Shui Xiu said: "No, I'd better help the girl clean up first."
"You——"
I frowned and took a step forward to say something. Suddenly I felt a strong dizziness and almost fell down. Aunt Wu and the others hurriedly supported me: "Girl, what's wrong with you?"
Aunt Qian squeezed my hand and said, "Oh, it's as cold as ice."
"Her health is not good to begin with. This time I'm just afraid-"
I also knew that I had the root cause of the disease after my miscarriage, and I should have taken good care of myself, but the incident with Xu Youling happened again. I was called for questioning late at night, and I stayed up all night. I was also caught in the rain just now, so it would be strange if I didn’t get sick.
p>
They helped me take off my clothes, wiped my body and hair, and went to bed to rest. Shuixiu also had to clean up the house for me. I said sadly: "Go back first. How can I sleep with you crackling like this?"<
/p>
Aunt Wu and Aunt Qian took her out.
When I say I’m tired, I’m really tired. Going through such exhaustion these days is more painful than going through fire and water in Yangzhou. There’s still a fire in my heart that hasn’t been extinguished, that is, the famous brand is still in Shen Rou’s hand.
, not only is my life in her hands, but what kind of catastrophe will it be if the trouble breaks out?
I was trembling slightly, my face was getting feverish, and my mind was a little dizzy.
It was still raining outside, so I curled up under the quilt and fell into a shaky sleep.
When I woke up, I heard the sound of dripping water first. When I listened carefully, I found that the rain had stopped. It was the accumulated water on the eaves dripping on the bluestone slabs, making a crisp sound.
Turning around and looking out the window, the sky was dark and it was night.
My body still felt a little sore, and my breath was hot. I knew I had a fever. There was an ice handkerchief on my forehead, but my mouth was so dry that it felt like it was burning.
I sat up with difficulty, leaned against the bed and panted for a long time. I held on to the wall and reluctantly walked to the table. I was about to pour some water, but I saw a bright moonlight outside. The moonlight shone in the yard like water, with a silvery luster.
Run.
There are two other people in the yard - Aunt Wu and Aunt Qian.
Since they have all been with Queen Zhaolie, they must be sisters who have a close relationship, and they should have a lot to say.
I took a sip of tea and moistened my mouth a little. Just as I was about to go back to bed and go back to sleep, I heard Grandma Wu’s voice coming from outside——
