blue bird song

Chapter 94 Mother is more valuable than child (5)
Deng Qi was greatly moved, "Don't worry, Niu Niu, I know what's in my heart. I was just annoyed by Xue Neng that day, otherwise, I wouldn't have placed an order."

"Why is my uncle so mad at you?" Qing Que was curious.When Deng Qi said everything, Qing Que sighed quietly: "My dear father." Xue Neng is his dear father, and he only thinks about A Yang, and he will never know that there is a mother-in-law like Shen Mo, but muddleheadedly treat A Yang Yang is married.

Deng Qi gave Qing Que a sullen look, "When I told Brother Han, he became stupid. Niuniu, the marriage between Brother Han and Ayang is a failure."

Qingque smiled, but didn't answer.This is very good, Deng Zhihan will marry another lady, and little Ayang will choose a good match.There are so many grievances and resentments between them, it is very difficult to love and stay together.

Deng Qi was very upset, "Niuniu, I'm not happy. I, like Brother Han, hoped that he could marry Ayang back to Ningguo Duke's mansion. And my grandfather, although he didn't say anything, I knew he would too. Desperately."

Qingque politely asked him to drink tea, "Try it, does the snow water harvested from the plum blossoms last winter have a fragrance?" Just interrupt, refusing to answer his words.

Ning Guogong and Deng Qi must want to marry Ayang home to make up for the regrets they left behind.However, neither of them succeeded, so why is it Deng Zhihan's turn to succeed?The men of the Deng family are of the same line, and they always yearn for women like Xiangxiu and Qi Yu in their hearts, but the ones who marry back home are the likes of the Xun family and Shen Mo.

Then, instead of blaming themselves, they will only complain about the tricks of nature.If you want to have emotional entanglements with them, hehe, you have to be very tough.

Qing Que took a sip of the tea and rolled her eyes in enjoyment.Is it because of having a biological father like Deng Qi that General Qi Qingque is strong and independent, stronger than men?If he was like little Ayang, pampered by his father, spoiled by his mother, and his elder brother was obedient, General Qi Qingque would be a little bird.

Is it better to be Qi Qingque, or to be little Ayang?Qingque thought about it very carefully, it's better to be Qi Qingque.Although it is hard work to be Qi Qingque, you can decide your own life.If someone interferes, hmph, is the long sword in General Qi Qingque's hand a vegetarian?
Deng Qi was depressed for a while, and concerned about Qingque's daily life, "Niu Niu, you must be careful with your diet, cold things are not edible. No jumping, dancing, knives and guns are allowed. In short, the unborn child is the most important thing. .”

Qingque smiled and Mimi nodded.

When Deng Qi was leaving, King Jin just came back from outside, so he invited King Jin by the way, "I will have a banquet to thank Zhang Hu, if you are free, how about you come to accompany me?" When it came time to invite Zhang Hu, it was inconvenient to refuse, "Thanks to brother Hu for taking care of Niu Niu when she was young, if you want to invite brother Hu, I will definitely accompany you."

The next day, Deng Qi really hosted a banquet in Deyilou, and made a special trip to entertain Zhang Hu.The two of them were too bored drinking, so he invited another guest, His Royal Highness King Jin.Deng Qi pre-booked a private room, called Moonlight Pavilion. In the pavilion, there was a spacious old mahogany long table. Next to the table were four comfortable black rosewood rose chairs. There were pictures of mountain dwellings on the wall, and The blue and white porcelain open fish tank is elegant and unique.

The three of them sat down as guest and host, and they were all very polite.The King of Jin raised his glass to thank Zhang Hu, "It's fortunate that brother Hu made the move. Otherwise, Mr. Deng would be injured or something just after he left my Prince Jin's mansion, and Qing Que and I would lose face."

Deng Qi glared at him angrily, but his face was dull, wouldn't my daughter feel distressed?

Zhang Hu said lightly, "Where, it's easy."

Zhang Hu has not been very enthusiastic, and there is a lingering sense of loneliness and loneliness in his expression.King Jin wanted to congratulate him on his marriage with Zhou Qi, but when he saw him like this, he didn't say anything.

Deng Qi toasted Zhang Hu frequently, and afterward, both of them were a little drunk.Deng Qi suddenly took the case, looking like he wanted to cry, "I can't recall the past, I feel so regretful when I think about it!"

"Me too, I regret it for the rest of my life." Zhang Hu's eyes were blurred and hazy, "I shouldn't have kept Master Li..."

The king of Jin comforted him sympathetically, "Brother Hu, 'the past cannot be admonished, but those who come can still be pursued', forget about the past."

Zhang Hu didn't seem to hear it.

After drinking to his heart's content, King Jin took Deng Qi and Zhang Hu to the gate of the mansion one by one responsibly, and only turned back after seeing them enter the gate of the mansion.

"It smells so strong." Seeing him, Qing Que twisted her nose in distaste, "His Royal Highness, Doctor Lin is not allowing me to drink alcohol, nor allow me to smell the alcohol."

She was mischievous like a child, but she was really cute. King Jin risked being beaten and went up to kiss her, "Niu Niu, fourth brother, go take a bath now, the smell of wine will definitely be gone."

When King Jin came out of the clean room refreshed and smelling fresh, the two of them sniffed each other affectionately and leaned together to whisper.

"Your father said that his intestines were full of regrets, and brother Hu also said that he regretted it for life." King Jin reported the banquet to his princess.

Qingque smiled, "What's the use of regretting, time can't be turned back. 'You can't remonstrate with the past, but you can chase those who come'."

King Jin cited him as his confidant, and said pleasantly, "Niuniu, that's exactly how I persuaded brother Hu!" Qing Que smiled and Mimi looked at him, and the two couldn't help stretching out their lips and pecking lightly.There is a tacit understanding, really worthy of being a husband and wife.

"Why did brother Hu say that Master Li shouldn't be kept?" King Jin asked casually.

"It's a trivial matter." Qingque smiled.

Back then, if Brother Hu hadn't left Master Li behind, Master Li would have taken him back to Yangji, right?He would not be taken back to the stone house, and there would be no blood in front of the stone house.

If so, there would be no Qi Qingque in the world, only Deng Zhiyuan.

"Brother Hu, even if I have always been Deng Zhiyuan, we have no fate." Qingque said sadly, "Whether I am Qi Qingque or Deng Zhiyuan, my aunt doesn't like me and won't accept me."

"In my previous life, I have exhausted all my energy and exhausted myself to get the love of my mother-in-law. In the second half of my life, I don't want to work all day long to get the love of my mother-in-law. I want ready-made ones, and I want my aunt."

In a daze, King Jin whispered in her ear, "After the baby is born, Fourth Brother will accompany you to hunt, okay?" Qing Que settled down and smiled, "Okay."

Qing Que's initial period of pregnancy was really relaxed and happy, whether it was her husband's family or her mother's family, all people from all walks of life without exception expressed their great happiness and concern.The husband's family sent all kinds of rewards continuously, ranging from rare fruits to gold and jade toys.Lin Xiaotian and Lin Xiaowei were in charge of joking with their sister, Qing Ning picked fresh magnolia flowers for her sister, Qing Feng and Xue Hui worked together to carve small wooden swords and knives for the unborn nephew, Xue Yang is older, more stable, and takes a walk with her sister.

At first, it was beautiful.

Slowly, Qingque became dissatisfied.The body slowly began to become cumbersome, and he was not allowed to let go of playing, riding a horse, or using a gun. The weather was getting hotter, and ice was not allowed.

All kinds of inconveniences.The most terrible thing is that it is only four or five months at this time, and there is still half a year left until the baby is born.Qingque couldn't help being angry, wanting to lose her temper from time to time.

As an older sister, naturally you can't be fierce with your younger siblings, right?So unmannered.As a daughter, you can't be fierce with your parents, right?It's so disrespectful.After calculation and calculation, the most suitable person to lose his temper is the father of the baby, he is the culprit.

The hotter the day, the fiercer the blue sparrow.Whenever she stared and made her lose her temper, King Jin always coaxed her softly, "My little beauty is still cute even if she shows her teeth and claws. It makes fourth brother feel distressed." She was too hot, so he stayed with her Bing, "My little girl has icy muscles and bones, she is cool and sweatless, and the fourth brother is the same." Qing Que became a well-behaved little wife after being coaxed by him every time.

Grandma Zhong saw it and sighed secretly.King Jin grew up in front of the late emperor, who would dare to show him face in the palace?Even Concubine Wan Gui looked at him very favorably and was very kind when she was alive. King Jin really grew up with gold and jade.But when he was in front of the princess, he was able to make a small fuss like this.Alas, one thing falls one thing.

After the first three months, after the fetal phase stabilized, Qingque entered the palace several times.Every time she went back to the palace, King Jin personally sent her there and picked her up personally.Because of this, Jin Wang was teased by the Empress Dowager and laughed at by Concubine Shao. He blushed very thin-skinned, and then it will be the same next time.

When the Empress Dowager saw Qing Que, her smiling eyes narrowed, "Good boy, get up quickly, you are heavy, you are a bitch, don't be polite." She took her hand and laughed for a long while, without mentioning it. How happy.

Thinking about it, it is rare that the Empress Dowager has not seen such a happy event for many years since the late Emperor left.She has many grandsons and many granddaughters, but no great-grandchildren yet.The first one is always different and makes people look forward to it.

The Queen Mother looked at Qingque's slightly swollen belly, both liking and envious.She had never been favored before, and she never knew what it was like to be pregnant with Liujia in her whole life.Thinking about it, it must be very happy and perfect to have a child who is connected with my blood.The Queen Mother is now a well-behaved queen mother, respected in the palace, her life is many times better than before, and she is very contented.However, seeing the pregnant concubine Jin, the queen dowager's heart, which was already calm, started to ripple a little, as if new green shoots sprouted on the old tree trunk.A child, an immature child, will bring people so much hope and vision.

The moment Empress Zhang saw Qingque, who was no longer slender, her body froze.Although she is the daughter of a scholar, she knows that she has to be reserved when she urinates, because she was born by Mrs. Jin's "dream moon in her arms". Since she was born, her fate has been extremely noble.Empress Zhang went smoothly from birth to growing up to being selected as the crown princess.After marrying as the crown prince's wife, the concubine Wan Gui disappeared. Not long after, the late emperor also passed away, and the crown prince ascended the throne. She became the queen of the middle palace without any suspense, and was the mother of the world.She has been very smooth and happy, except that she is not pregnant and has not given birth to a son for the emperor.

After Empress Zhang cared about Qingque's daily life with the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother, she smiled kindly, "Grandmother's birthday is coming soon, next month I will go to the Shangqing Temple to pray for my grandmother, and do fasting things to pray for my grandmother. body, but it is inconvenient to go forward."

Taoism, fasting?Qingque smiled.Since the emperor Taizu, this dynasty has respected Confucianism and used the three religions together. For Taoism, Zhenwu God is revered, and Zhengyi is supported by Youli.Fasting and praying for blessings is even more common.Is it better for pregnant women to go to the fasting ceremony to pray for the blessings of the Empress Dowager, or not to go?You must know that it is four or five months now, and the fetus is already firmly seated.

Qing Que smiled sweetly, "Grandmother always loves me, if I hide my laziness and don't pray for grandma, how can I be sorry? Sister-in-law will take me with you."

The Empress Dowager took Qing Que's little hand, smiled and praised Mimi, "Be filial to the child!" After the compliment was over, she was not allowed to go, "It's good to have your sister-in-law and sisters, so you can rest. There are many people, not for fun. "

"Just clear out the idlers and others." Qingque said with a smile.

The Empress Dowager patted Qing Que's little hand, obviously very satisfied.

The Queen Mother watched, with a smile in her eyes.A Yuan's concubine is as likable as he is, no, not long after they got married, the empress dowager kissed her very soon after seeing her.Is it true that as the saying goes, "not a family, not a family"?

Empress Zhang couldn't help being jealous when she saw the empress dowager kissing Qingque.The Empress Dowager was not only the emperor's own grandmother, but also a person who had sheltered the emperor when she was young and had great kindness to the emperor, so she was naturally respected by the emperor.When Empress Zhang first entered the palace, the Empress Dowager treated her very kindly. Later, the emperor had no heirs and refused to establish a concubine, so the Empress Dowager gradually became indifferent to Empress Zhang.

Well, compared to the empress dowager's kiss to Qingque, Empress Zhang is more envious of Qingque's pregnancy.Empress Zhang is the wife of the emperor, the lord of the six palaces, and her two unsatisfactory younger brothers followed the chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven, doing all kinds of mischief.The only thing she lacks now is an heir.

"When you arrive at the Shangqing Temple and see the real person Wuchen, you must ask clearly." Empress Zhang thought of her embarrassment, her heart ached, and she thought: "Whether I will give birth to the prince, Qi Qingque's stomach What is the fate of your child, you must ask clearly."

Wuchen, you have never disappointed me before.This time, give me a satisfactory answer!
Qing Que chatted and laughed with the Empress Dowager for a long time, took her leave and came out to see Concubine Shao.She was already talking and laughing at Yan Yan in Ningshou Palace, and she was even more comfortable in front of her aunt, "You want a grandson? Yes, I promise you, I will give you a grandson!"

Concubine Shao was happy, but also a little puzzled, "Qingque, how do you know that it must be the little grandson? The doctor has seen it, or has it been seen by the eminent monk or Taoist priest?"

Qingque giggled, "Not at all. However, this time, whether it's a grandson or a granddaughter, I will definitely give birth to a grandson for you. Not this time, let's do it next time."

Concubine Shao rejoiced, "So that's how it is." She promised "I will give you a little grandson soon", but she didn't say, "This time I will give birth to a little grandson for you".

Concubine Shao lovingly caressed Qing Que's hair, "This little girl is really naughty." Qing Que raised her eyes in enjoyment, and bargained with Concubine Shao, "No matter what happens, you must not only love him, but not me." Shao Tai Concubine Repeatedly said: "I love you, Qingque, mother loves you the most."

Enough of being coquettish in front of my aunt, it's time for King Jin to pick her up.Concubine Shao looked at A Yuan, and at A Yuan's pregnant little wife, with smiles on the corners of her eyes and brows, "A Yuan, you have to give in to Qing Que, she is pregnant with a child." Concubine Shao took the trouble to explain repeatedly, and the King of Jin agreed again and again, "Well, let her go."

Coming out from Concubine Shao, first take the sedan chair to the palace gate, and then change to the carriage of Prince Jin's Mansion.After getting into the car, King Jin helped Qing Que sit up, and thoughtfully padded the backrest for her, "Princess, are you comfortable?"

"A mother is more valuable than a child." Qingque leaned comfortably on the back of the stone blue brocade, and sighed leisurely.

"Even if Niuniu is not pregnant with a child, Fourth Brother will let you go." Jin Wang said sweetly softly.

The two looked at each other with smiles, and their hearts were full of sweetness.

Back at Prince Jin's Mansion, Qingque asked Shangqingguan carefully.Jin Wang pondered, "I didn't think it before, but in recent years, my brother seems to be quite fond of Huang Lao's learning, and he also treats Taoist priests with extra courtesy."

Qing Que smiled faintly, "With such a queen, it's not surprising that your emperor's elder brother is obsessed with Huang Lao's studies." Although her smile was faint, it was full of sarcasm.

Who is Queen Zhang?His mother, Mrs. Jin, was born "with the moon in her arms", and her fate is extremely precious.Back then, when the late emperor chose a concubine for the crown prince, this "dream moon in his bosom" took advantage of a lot.It is not surprising that Queen Zhang has such an experience, is superstitious, and respects Taoist priests.Who to learn from, the emperor's harem only has the empress, how can she not be influenced by her.

What's more, the emperor's body is not very strong. After he ascended the throne, he worked hard for state affairs, not only his mind, but also his body, and his health continued to deteriorate.At this time, if someone uses "immortality" and "physical fitness" as examples, he will certainly be interested.

King Jin is silent.The first emperor was also very thoughtful when choosing a concubine for his elder brother, but after many choices, he chose such a one.Leaving aside her elder brother who has been married for several years and has no heirs, she connives at her natal younger brother's crimes, which is really disgusting.

"The master of the Shangqing Temple is Daoist Wuchen. Since he is the master of the temple, he really has some real talents and learning?" Qing Que asked.

"It's just a magic stick." King Jin frowned slightly, "It's just a bluff, but brother is willing to believe him. However, he is just cheating money with a feast, and asking for some rewards such as Zhuangtian and mansions, just making a small fuss."

Qingque nodded, "I see."

When it was time for the feast, Qing Que followed the Queen, Princess Ankang, Princess Yongkang, Princess Weihui, Princess Xianyou and others.Princess Ankang is the oldest, having descended to Dingyuan Hou Wangfang last year. Yongkang and Wei Hui are both around thirteen or fourteen years old and have not yet engaged.Xianyou is the youngest, less than ten years old. She has a slender figure and a pale face. She looks really weak.
