Late Tang

(Thanks to Zui Xiaodao, Jun Zibai, Ziyang Snail 110, and Wu Jian Sao Feng for their support, thank you!)

The winter sun was drifting in the cloudy sky.

Above Yanjing City, on the gray-yellow Hebei Plain, there are bare forest tops and withered yellow river banks, but the north wind is fierce, blowing river willows and poplar trees toppled from side to side, causing waves on the canal, rolling up pieces of water. Red leaves are flying all over the sky.

The streets of Yanjing City are filled with pedestrians, and the business of the shops seems to be better than last year.In the Forbidden Palace, wintersweet is blooming proudly, and a little bit of yellow plum is hanging all over the branches, blooming without hesitation, spreading the fragrance of plums all over the palace.

The owner of the plum blossoms, Wang Wanjun, was not interested in admiring the plum blossoms. She fell ill, and she has been ill since autumn. Lin Yuexian, the most famous female doctor in Beijing, visited her several times and prescribed several medicines, but to no avail.Lin Yueru told Li's mother, Mrs. Han, that Wang Wanjun is actually not seriously ill, but just a heart disease.As soon as the word "heart disease" came out, Han fully understood it.

In autumn, Wang Guiniang, the empress of the palace who had been neglected by the women in the Forbidden Palace, suddenly gave birth to a child, and she gave birth to Shuanghuang, two beautiful boys with handles in her whole life.

Before that, there were only a handful of people in the palace who knew that Wang Guiniang was pregnant, except for Han Shi, only Wan'er knew about it, and Li Jing naturally knew about it too, but he didn't tell too many people.During Wang Guiniang's pregnancy, she continued to recuperate in Guanyin Temple and did not see any visitors.So much so that before she gave birth, when Han took her back to her original palace and brought Lin Yuexian into the palace to deliver the baby, Wang Wanjun and others who had just heard the news were shocked.

Her first reaction at the time was that this child was not Li Jing's. After all, she had been separated from Li Jing for several years, and she was devoted to practicing in the Buddhist temple in the palace. How could she suddenly become pregnant and have a child?If the child does not belong to Li Jing, whose would it be?Although there are men in the palace, there are only some guards, and these guards are on duty and are strictly monitored, and it is impossible for them to get too close to the female relatives in the palace.After all, there are so many court ladies, female officials and eunuchs in the palace, as well as female secret agents and internal staff.

Just as she was wondering who the child would be, Luwu who had been following her from Duli Town reminded her.

"Shortly before His Highness set off last year, he went to Guanyin Temple once and stayed there for one night. Calculating the time, it was the right time to come up."

This sentence stunned Wang Wanjun, who was secretly happy. She thought to herself, there is indeed such a thing. Last year, Li Jing stayed with Wang Guiniang for a night, and then his father told her that there was a rumor Wang Guiniang served Li Jing that night.She didn't quite believe it at the time, and didn't take it seriously.After all, Wang Guiniang did not become a monk, she just practiced in the palace.If she really served the King of Qin for one night, it would be fine.Moreover, Wang Guiniang has only given birth to one daughter for so many years, which shows that she was born with some physical problems.She quickly put that matter behind her and didn't take it to heart.Unexpectedly, after October, Wang Guiniang gave birth to two sons at once.

It's not just as simple as two sons.

Wang Guiniang is the first wife, and his son is also the first wife.Although in line, Yu Youniang's son is also the eldest son, even the eldest son, but there are some things that are not clear.After all, Wang Guiniang was the first concubine, and Yu Youniang was at most an equal wife.Originally, although Yu Youniang gave birth to a son-in-law, she gave birth to the eldest son after all, and she was already old and intelligent, and was praised and approved by many people. In Wang Wanjun's opinion, Li Jing was not the kind who would definitely have a son-in-law People, Dezhao still has a great chance to compete for the position of the son.

Her three sons competed with Yu Youniang's one-year-old son. The chances were great. Maybe one day Yu Youniang's legitimate son would die. After all, the child was too young.

But now, Wang Guiniang suddenly came out and gave birth to two sons.Moreover, these two children were born on the sixth day of September, and this day happened to be Li Jing's birthday, what a coincidence.She rushed to see it that day. Although they were twins, both of them were very strong. Both children weighed six catties, even more than some people who only had one child. Although they were only a small group, they were very strong. You can already see a bit of Li Jing's appearance, especially the two children have a small mole on the left side of the nose bridge, which is almost exactly the same as the mole on Qin Wang Li Jing's nose, and the position is exactly the same.They have the same eyes, the same nose, and the same mouth as Li Jing. If they grow up, she believes that these two guys will be the same as King Qin.

Anyone who sees these two little fellows will without hesitation believe that they are indeed the seed of Qin Wang Li Jing, without a doubt.

Li's mother, Han, likes these two children very much, and also likes Wang Guiniang, who gave birth to the Li family's two sons.Seeing her and Li Jing go that far before, Mrs. Han felt a little guilty, but now seeing that she and her son had a baby, she felt extremely relieved, which shows that the couple can still live together again.Especially these two little guys, she likes them more and more, they are almost printed in the same mold as Li Jing.In Han's view, although Yu Youniang's child was also a legitimate son, it was only when Wang Guiniang had no son.Now, Wang Guiniang has given birth to two boys in her lifetime, so in her heart, these two boys are the legitimate sons of the Li family.

Wang Guiniang suffered a lot during her pregnancy. After all, she was almost 30 years old, and she was pregnant with two at once.Sometimes her legs hurt unbearably, and she couldn't walk for several days. When she walked, she frowned and dragged her legs, but she endured the pain tenaciously.At first, when she found out that she was pregnant, she was even a little overwhelmed.In these years, she has followed Li Jing, and she has gone through many stages of psychology.At the beginning, she really wanted to marry Li Jing. At that time, Li Jing was the best Alang in her eyes.Therefore, when she learned that Li Jing was imprisoned and might be exiled thousands of miles away, Li Jing's mother, Mrs. Han, proposed that she marry into the Li family and leave a seed for the Li family. She agreed without any hesitation. She also knew in her heart that Li Jing would probably never return, and she became a young widow from then on, but she did not hesitate or refuse.

After Li Jing was released from prison and returned home, Saburo finally married her. Although the wedding was a bit hasty and simple, with only a few casual seats and a meal for relatives in the village, she was the happiest at that time, and she got her wish Became Saburo's bride.Later, when she learned that her husband was framed by her brother when she went to prison, she blamed herself and felt guilty.

But Li Jing didn't blame her, and treated her very well as always, which moved her.

It's just that although the married life is good, and Saburo is constantly promoted, but not only can she not help him, but when she can't even give birth to a child, she gradually becomes a little uneasy.Later, Wan'er also took over the house, and after that, the handsome Wang Wanjun also entered the Li family. She was not only beautiful, but also came from a wealthy family. She entered the Li family with a huge dowry, and brought Li Jing a profitable marriage. Soon, she gave birth to Li Jing's eldest son.At that time, she was still trying hard to have a son with Li Jing, but her stomach was not up to par. Even Wan'er gave birth to a son, but she only gave birth to a daughter in a few years.

Later, Saburo's official career was smooth sailing, and he climbed higher and higher.She couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all, and could only watch him getting busier and the gap between the two of them getting bigger and bigger. In the end, Li Jing married the fourth wife, fifth wife, and even sixth wife and seventh wife. They gave birth to Li Jing one by one, but her stomach didn't move.Looking at those wives, all of whom were born in wealthy and prominent families, entered the Li family with huge dowries and the support of the huge families behind them.

And she is just a country girl, a woman who can neither bring any huge power support to Li Jing, nor can she even give birth to a son.Between Wang Wanjun's gentle appearance and the secret relationship with him, she finally got tired and chose to stay away from Li Jing's side.In fact, she didn't want to leave, but felt that if she continued to stay there, it would be of no help to Li Jing.

After leaving Li Jing's side, she used to think that the rest of her life would just be green and yellow, to be with the Buddha for the first time.But she didn't expect that when Li Jing came that day, she was drunk and stayed at her place, but when she was taking care of Li Jing, she was pulled by him while he was drunk. , That night, he was drunk, but she was sober, but she let him do what he did.

After dawn, he even thought it was just a dream.

Originally, she also planned to just treat it as a dream and continue her life.

Who ever thought that the always accurate menstruation did not come, and it never came.Although she has only given birth to one child, she has experience in pregnancy.She began to feel the changes in her body, her breasts began to swell, and she even started to want to eat hot and sour food. Later, she began to feel nauseous. By this time, she had fully confirmed that she was pregnant.

She was getting thinner and thinner day by day, but there was a feeling of happiness in her heart.It never occurred to her that all the hard work in the past had no results. When she had already given up, the result was only one time, but she was pregnant.Sometimes her legs hurt badly, and beads of sweat ooze from her forehead, but her happy face never shows pain.

She didn't even tell anyone the news. It wasn't until after she started to show her pregnancy that Han Shi brought the blue bird Rui Wen to visit her. Only then did the experienced Han Shi discover what was wrong with her daughter-in-law.She called the little fairy doctor and quickly diagnosed it as Ximai. She even told them that Princess Qin was pregnant with twins.This news made Wang Guiniang even more delighted, and Han Shi was also very happy.However, she was a little worried about who the child belonged to, so she asked cryptically, and Wang Guiniang said that the child belonged to Li Jing, and also said the date when Li Jing came.

Calculate the time, but it is just right.After Mrs. Han went back, she looked for the attendant room again, and found out that Li Jing had indeed been to Wang Guiniang's place that day, and several of the guards who stayed in Yanjing confirmed that King Qin was indeed staying in the temple that night, and they I did hear some "movement".In addition, people from the Secret Service Bureau, the Internal Service Bureau, and several bureaus in the palace also proved to Han that Wang Guiniang practiced in the Guanyin Temple in the palace garden and had not seen other men in recent years, especially according to the date of pregnancy. Calculated in the future, during the period, I only saw Li Jing alone.

After confirming again and again that the child is the grandson of the Li family, Han felt a little guilty about the daughter-in-law, and she immediately sent someone to report the good news to Li Jing, which was also the final confirmation to her son.Li Jing's reply confirmed that he did spend the night there that day, and that Wang Guiniang served him.For Wang Guiniang's sudden pregnancy, he who was far away in the Bohai Sea was very happy, and asked Han to take good care of their mother and child.

The Han family didn't make it known to everyone right away, but still kept the news a secret. She asked Wang Guiniang to stay in the temple to wait for delivery. In her opinion, Wang Guiniang's pregnancy may be due to her dedication to worshiping the Buddha in the past few years. Due to piety.Now she is pregnant with twins, and Li Jing is not in Yanjing. For the sake of safety, she thinks that the news should be concealed temporarily and let her continue to stay here to raise the baby. First, it is quiet here, and second, it is safe.The daughters-in-law were already fighting fiercely for the position of the son, and she didn't want Wang Guiniang to get involved immediately.Besides, she also thinks that the Guanyin Temple is very good. This is a Buddhist temple, and the child will be raised here, so he will definitely be blessed by the Bodhisattva.

On the sixth day of September, on a sunny day, Wang Guiniang felt that she was about to give birth, so she sent someone to notify Mrs. Han.

Mrs. Han immediately called Lin Yuexian, and the delivery went smoothly. The two babies came out together almost one after the other, and the fetal position was very upright without any hardship.When Lin Yuexian delivered both children and cut the umbilical cord, the weak Wang Guiniang opened her eyes profusely, looking at Lin Yuexian expectantly.

The little fairy doctor smiled and said to her, "It's the two little princes."

Hearing this news, Wang Guiniang still couldn't believe it, until Lin Yuexian and Han Shi who couldn't wait to come in each picked up one child, opened the two red and tender legs of the child to show her the two balls of meat, she finally laughed.

Han Shi looked at the pair of villains, and her smile was even brighter than that of Wang Guiniang. Just now she couldn't wait to check the two children, and found that these two little guys were almost exactly the same as her son Li Jing when he was a child.Especially the little mole on their noses, which is almost the symbol of the Li family.Both Li Jing and his father had such a small mole on their noses, and so did Li Jing's two older brothers.This fully shows that these two sons are definitely the sons of the sons, and they are definitely the legitimate sons of the Li family.

After confirming this, she became even happier.This is the grandson of the Li family. Although Li Jing has had a lot of wives and concubines in recent years, and has given birth to a lot of children, due to the good medical protection, the children born miraculously survived. Now the son has 38 years old. One, if these two are counted, there are already forty sons, which is simply leafy and luxuriant.But just like Han's refusal to remarry back then, she is also traditional when it comes to her grandchildren. No matter how many grandchildren she has, she still cares most about her grandchildren.Moreover, in her heart, Yu Youniang's child is not considered a grandson. Although Yu Youniang's status is noble and Wang Guiniang's family background is minor, the son is the mother. He is the real grandson of the Li family.Besides, the child born to Yu Youniang is more than one year old, but he is still very weak. Moreover, he does not have the little mole of the Li family logo on his nose, and he does not look like Li Jing, just like him. The mother is the young mother.

How can that child compare with these two boys, these two are the real grandsons of the Li family that the old lady agrees with, the irreplaceable grandsons of the Li family! (To be continued.)
