Chapter 169 The Couple
Cooking porridge in Laba, keeping the year old on New Year's Eve, paying New Year's greetings on the first month, and offering sacrifices to farmers in the beginning of spring. This "year" is not officially over until the Lantern Festival is lit on the 15th day of the first month.The Lantern Festival is another New Year's Eve. Every year on this day in Tianzhao Kingdom, "the lights of the flower market are like daytime".It is said that the whole city is brightly lit, and all kinds of lotus lanterns, foreign peach lanterns, sun and moon lanterns, horse riding lanterns, glazed lanterns are hung under the eaves of every household.The lanterns on the lantern market are even more dazzling, with a wide variety of lights and emerald lights. Most of them are drawn from the characters, animals and plants in myths and legends.Ingenious lantern craftsmen skillfully use leather, silk, colored paper, bamboo strips, feathers and other materials to make various lanterns with vivid shapes for people to watch.There are also traditional entertainment programs on the Lantern Market, where folk artists perform their special skills, and there are many hawkers selling strange companions, attracting men, women and children, and the Lantern Festival is a good place for lovers to date.Even in Yongle Hou Mansion, the lanterns hung this night were not as usual, and it was a scene of prosperity.

But I'm not in the mood to pay attention to this noisy festival. It's not because it's inconvenient to visit the flower market with a big belly, and it's not because the emperor banned me from leaving the mansion. Fifth, it was the days when Yunzheng was suffering.

At night, Yun Zheng entered the routine examination room again, and I insisted on going in to accompany him.Seeing Yunzheng tortured while locked on a copper frame bed, my heart was about to break.He moved his hand around his neck, tightly holding that piece of black dragon jade, Ming Yan, if this jade can really ward off evil spirits and has supernatural powers, please help me, please help me save Yunzheng.Ever since I knew this piece of jade is an artifact to ward off evil spirits, I hold it and pray once a day. Recently, this jade has undergone some unusual changes. Every time I hold it and pray, it emits a faint warmth, as if In response to me, I don't know if the jade played a role, and Yun Zheng didn't attack the poison in advance.Mingyan, you heard my prayer, didn't you?Mingyan!

My body was getting heavier and heavier, and I felt extremely tired after staying in the routine examination room without sleep.After Yunzheng's routine consultation, I didn't have the strength to do it for him anymore, so I had to let go and let Yunze cleanse for him. Fortunately, although Yunze is a boy, his hands and feet are gentle and delicate. I watched from the side , a little relieved.Yunze changed his clothes for him, and left the room. Yun Zheng called me to lie down on the bed, and softly reprimanded me: "You are not in good health now, why are you still so stubborn? If something happens, let me do it? If you don't get down again This time, you are not allowed to go to the regular consultation in the future!"

"Yun Zheng..." I pouted.For the first time, he insisted like this: "I can't say for sure." I felt extremely wronged, and I was also worried about you, wasn't I?Tired and exhausted all night, you don't appreciate it, you are so fierce.Pulling the quilt over her body, she didn't forget to cover him too, turned sideways, and said in a muffled voice, "Got it."

Neither of them spoke anymore. After a while, Yun Zheng gently hugged me from behind: "Ye'er..."

"I fell asleep." I said angrily.He smiled lowly, and hugged me tightly: "Fool..." I snorted, and heard him chuckle softly: "Ye'er, after I rest for two days, let's go live together in the other courtyard of Yuxue Mountain, okay?" good?"

"Huh?" I suddenly forgot that I was losing my temper, and turned to look at him, "Jade Snow Mountain?"

"Didn't I tell you last time that the plum blossoms in Jade Snow Mountain are beautiful? Go now, it's the time when the mountains are covered with snow and plums." Yun Zheng gently stroked my face and said softly, "How about it? "

"Okay, but, am I still restrained by the emperor?" I frowned and said, the three-month restraint period has only passed halfway, why did Yunzheng propose this suddenly, is it because of me and An Yuanxi Get along awkward?
"I asked the emperor for an order to let you go to the mountain to conceive. It should be no problem to go to Yuxue Mountain." Yun Zheng said softly, "I really want to accompany you to see the plum blossoms there."

Yun Zheng, is he afraid that his time is running out?My heart felt sour, and I immediately blamed myself for being awkward with him just now.Looking up at him with a smile, I hugged Yunzheng's neck and said softly: "Okay." Let Yunzheng be alone for a while before he undoes the Gu, and don't let him worry about other things also good.

The old man has no objection to our going to live on the mountain, and the emperor agreed. These days, Yunzheng is recuperating in the room, and I am directing the servants to pack their things.Jinsha originally wanted to go up the mountain with her, but I didn't agree. On the one hand, I wanted to spend more time alone with Yunzheng, and on the other hand, I didn't want to delay the children's homework.I told her that Fusheng needed the company of her friend, and Jinsha heard it, but she didn't insist anymore.An Sheng is also studying with Jin Sha and Fu Sheng now. I found an opportunity to ask An Yuanxi to mention this matter, and he agreed easily.His attitude towards me was indifferent and polite, although I felt a little strange that An Yuanxi's character had become so indifferent, but now I don't know what position to take to show concern for him.friend?I'm afraid I'm the only one who thinks so.Sister-in-law?This identity is even more embarrassing.Moving to the mountains just solved this problem. I hope that after a long time, the relationship between us will gradually become more natural.

On the twentieth day of the first lunar month in the fourth year of Tianzhao Yuanjing, Yun Zheng and I brought Mr. Fu, Yun De, Ning Er, Xin Er, Yun Ze and the four iron guards to live in the Yun family's other courtyard in Yuxue Mountain, "Aoxue Villa" ".Don’t tell me I don’t know. I was shocked when I said it. It turned out that the entire Yuxue Mountain was the private property of the Yun family. There were no outsiders going in and out on weekdays. The neat stone steps with a width of one meter allow the bearers to carry the sedan chair straight into the villa.Aoxue Villa is hidden in the middle of the mountain. It is not as big as I imagined, but it is more exquisite than I imagined.The pavilions, towers and pavilions are all ingenious and elegant, patchwork, hidden in the snow-white plum forest, quiet and poetic, tranquil and picturesque, there is a faint fragrance floating in the air, the white snow is pure and transparent, this place is really as Yun Zheng said , The beauty is so heart-stirring, it is enough to "singing is not enough, it is not as good as dancing with hands and dancing with feet".In front of beautiful things, when I can see, hear, touch and feel, I feel very happy.I remember the day when I went up the mountain, I saw crystal clear snow all over the mountain and plum blossoms in full bloom in the middle of the mountain. My heart was instantly calmed down by the troubles of the world. I suddenly understood why Yunzheng loves this place so much. In front of the snow mountain, it has gradually gone away, and we have returned to the most essential self in our life, like that, forgetting about it.

We have lived here for four days, and these few days have been very happy. We don't have to deal with the affairs of the Yun family every day. Burning incense and playing the piano, reciting poems and painting...Just like at this moment, the two of us are sitting in the octagonal wooden pavilion hidden in the plum grove, the grass curtains around are hanging down, only the corner directly in front is curled up high, the weather is clear and windless, and the pavilion is burning red. Charcoal fire makes people feel no chill at all.Yun Zheng stood at the table and drew. I held the sleeve of my right hand with my left hand and rubbed ink for him. I watched him gradually draw the plum and snow outside the pavilion on the rice paper. A branch of cold plum took up a large space on the paper. The wooden bridge and the creek covered with thin ice are looming.Can't help laughing: "Husband, you like the snow and plum here, and the scenes you draw are also very vivid."

Yun Zheng changed a pen and handed it to me, and said softly, "How about Ye Er writing a poem for me?"

"Me?" I raised my eyebrows and said with a smile, "It's not like you don't know that my poems are copied from others. Don't embarrass me!"

"You have to remember it." Yun Zheng smiled, and handed the pen to my hand, "Just the title."

I took the pen, looked at Yun Zheng's painting, thought for a while, and wrote a poem "Bu Suanzi Yongmei":
"Beside the broken bridge outside the post, there is no one left alone. It is already dusk to worry about alone, and it is more windy and rainy.

Unintentionally struggling for spring, one term of Qunfang jealous.Scattered into mud and dust, only the fragrance remains the same. "

While I was writing, Yun Zheng read it out softly, and before he finished writing, I went on to explain: "This is a poem written by a poet named Lu You in my hometown in ancient times. The poem is different from the poem. The sentence is It is filled in according to the lyrics, so the length is different, because it needs to be accompanied by music and singing, the rhyme is also very different from that of poetry, and the rules of using rhyme are also more complicated than poetry..." Looking up, Yun Zheng was full of interest. He smiled and said: "It will get deeper if you explain it in detail. Actually, I don't really understand it. I just talk about it casually."

"Then Ye'er will tell me the beauty of this word for me some other day." Yun Zheng put my hand in his palm, his brows and eyes full of tenderness: "Ye'er, do you like this place? Are you happy here? "

"I like it, the snow and plum here are so beautiful." I leaned into his arms and smiled, "With you here, I am happy wherever I live."

Yun Zheng looked at me and smiled softly. His palm was actually not as warm as mine. I asked Ning Er to take his painting away, and said with a smile, "I've been out for a while. Go back. It's time to take your medicine."

He nodded and took my hand back to the room.On the road, I met Mr. Fu picking plum blossoms. When he saw us coming, he bowed his body and looked at my face: "Young Madam, why don't you look so good?"

Yun Zheng looked at me in surprise: "Ye'er?" I quickly smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I often have dreams at night." No, it's just a dark cloud. I'm in the mist and can't find a way out. Every time I wake up, the black dragon jade feels faintly hot. I don't know what I want to tell me.

"Let the old man feel the pulse of the young lady." Mr. Fu said.I stretched out my hand to him, he clasped my pulse door, lowered his eyelids to check the pulse, after a while, retracted his hand, and nodded: "It's true that I didn't sleep well, the old man asked someone to make some calming medicine for you."

After dinner, I picked up the needle and thread and continued to sew the baby's clothes.I have been doing it intermittently these days, and I have also sewed several small clothes for the baby.In fact, the Yun family doesn't need me to prepare these things myself, the old man has already asked someone to prepare a few boxes, but I think that the clothes made by mother are the most comfortable for the baby to wear.Yun Zheng sat and watched me sew, and said with a smile, "Why do you always prepare boy's clothes? What if it's a daughter?"

"No, I have a strong premonition that I will definitely have a boy." I raised my head and smiled at him, "Husband, do you prefer a son as a daughter?"

"Sons and daughters will hurt me like jewels." Yun Zheng looked at me tenderly, "Ye'er, you don't have to force it to have a boy, I believe grandpa won't force it either." Heir, is already a gift from God, right?I put down my needle and thread, and held his hand: "Husband, your illness will definitely recover. Believe me, we will have many children in the future."

He smiled slightly, looking at me with gentle eyes that seemed to drip water.My face turned red, and I changed the subject: "By the way, we haven't decided on a name for the baby yet?"

"I've thought about it." Seeing me looking at him in surprise, Yun Zheng said with a smile, "I've been thinking about it since the day I found out you're happy, and I've thought about countless names, but I can't decide. A nice one."

Talented as Yunzheng, he was so embarrassed about the baby's name, which shows how much he attaches importance to this child. I pursed my lips and said with a smile, "What name do you want?"

"Yun Yi." Yun Zheng's expression was very happy, "I hope he can live a stable and comfortable life." This is Yun Zheng's greatest wish for his child, right? A safe, healthy and smooth life.I thought about it, and said with a smile: "The name is a good name, but it sounds the same as my father's name."

"I also think it's inappropriate, so I haven't decided on it." Yun Zheng nodded: "Does Ye'er have a name in mind?"

After thinking about it, I smiled and said: "A poet in my hometown wrote in his poem 'The cloud has no heart to get out of Xiu, the bird is tired and flies but knows to return', expressing his wish to become an official and return to the mountains and forests without intention, so I like Yunxiu very much. This name, however, is next to your Zheng character, and it looks like your peers, which is not good."

"Yunxiu?" Yun Zheng thought for a while, said with a smile without saying anything, "Anyway, it's still early, let's think about it, and it won't be too late to make a decision."

I nodded, and Ning'er came in with the anti-fetal medicine. After taking the medicine, I felt a little sleepy, so Yun Zheng went to bed early with me.Before going to bed, I held the black dragon jade as usual and prayed for Yunzheng.Mingyan, this piece of jade is getting warmer these days, did you sense my calling?Where are you, Mingyan?
