The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 101

After the bloody storm ended, Chu Xue's life finally became smoother than ever.

As far as she is concerned, after Xu Jinhe was banned, the power fell into her hands. Regardless of her favor and status, she has truly become the No. 1 in the harem.

And since she came back from the Qin Mansion that night, she has completely healed her body, and the lingering days of the emperor and the noble concubine have returned.

After a long period of parting and longing, the two became more and more inseparable. During the day, Song Chen was still busy with political affairs in the former court, and Chu Xue took care of Leer to take care of the palace affairs. At night, the returning king seemed to be back when he was newly married. She is often overwhelmed by the ardent demands beyond tenderness.

But there's nothing wrong with that. As a favorite concubine, Cheng Huan is what she should be. Besides, she is becoming more and more bright and charming. The good complexion on her face makes her better without makeup than with makeup. The reason is that Song Chen is the biggest heroes.

Dressing in the mirror every day, I can't help but hear the compliments from the maids, look at the more charming face in the mirror, and think of the man's love at night, she is sweet and satisfied, the years are quiet, it's nothing more than that!
But thinking of the lost child, she always felt guilty. It would be great if he could come back.So every day she always set aside half an hour to pray devoutly in front of the shrine, praying that the child could return to her womb again, so that her heart could be redeemed.

In the spring of March, the weather is warmer, and it will be Qingming in a few days. The dexterous palace people tied paper kites for the two little princesses, Ning Ning and Le Er. After paying attention, he hurried to the Royal Garden to play this fresh game.

It was a sunny day, and Li Jiaoyun and Chu Xue came to the garden to enjoy the spring together.The daughters were playing, and the mothers were resting and talking about themselves.

The apricot blossoms in the distance were in full bloom, and the hot tea in the pavilion was fragrant. Li Jiaoyun pointed to Le'er who was running behind her sister not far away, and said to Chu Xue with a smile: "Don't look at Le'er who is small, she can run fast." It's pretty fast, it's not bad at all compared to Ningning!"

Chu Xue also said with a smile: "Sister, stop praising her. Fortunately, Ningning is with her, otherwise this girl doesn't know what she wants to look like! The bigger the girl, the harder it is to manage."

Li Jiaoyun looked at her with a smile, "I heard that Le'er's temperament followed the emperor's. It's no wonder, but this will make the emperor love her even more. Besides, since she is a princess, it doesn't matter if she is spoiled."

Chu Xue picked up the teacup and sighed quietly: "It's also fortunate that she is a princess, otherwise I really don't know if I can marry when I grow up."

One sentence amused everyone, and Yan Ling and Yu Zhu covered their mouths and laughed lightly.

Li Jiaoyun teased her, "Sister is too worried too early! How old is Leer... But there is a saying that whatever the temperament of the previous one is, that is what comes later. It's time for a prince to come down."

Chu Xue hurriedly scolded her, "My sister just makes fun of me..."

The two sisters were chatting when they suddenly saw a tall figure come into sight, Song Chen came.

The government affairs are not too busy today. Hearing that the two daughters were having fun in the imperial garden, the father became interested and came to look for the daughters.

Ning Ning first saw his father, and hurriedly shouted: "Father!"

Le'er, who was looking up at the sky, heard this, and hurriedly turned her head, and indeed she saw her father, and before her sister lifted her foot, she threw herself into her father's arms.

"Father..." the little girl sweetly called out, and then kissed again. Song Chen embraced, first kissed Qin Le'er, then stretched out his hand to Ning Ning, and said, "Ning Ning, come here."

Only then did Ning Ning smile and ran to her father.

Even though the little girl is only five years old, she already has some ideas. If the father only hugs the younger sister and not her, he must pout and think wildly.

Chu Xue and Li Jiaoyun also stood up and came to Song Chen, saluting in unison, "My concubine greets the emperor."

Song Chen looked at the stretched eyebrows of both sisters, and asked in harmony: "What are you talking about?"

Li Jiaoyun smiled and said: "The concubine is asking the imperial concubine when she will add another prince to the emperor!"

"Sister Concubine Rong is used to teasing my concubines, the emperor will quickly make decisions for my concubines." Chu Xue acted like a baby to Song Chen.

Unexpectedly, Song Chen said: "Well, Concubine Rong is right, I was just about to ask!" Then he looked at her with a smile.

Chu Xue bit her lip, and wanted to say something, but saw two little girls looking up at her, and hurriedly changed the subject: "I heard that the Shangshan Supervisor has brought in a new batch of spring bamboo shoots from Jiangnan today. I wonder if the emperor will reward me at noon. Do you want to taste it together?"

"That's a good proposal, I'm sure." Song Chen was full of smiles, and originally planned to have lunch with her at noon, but now she offered to propose it, and she really agreed with her.

Li Jiaoyun on the side wanted to decline: "The concubine still has something to do in the palace, so I won't bother the emperor and the empress..."

"Sister," Chu Xue hurriedly stopped her, "We haven't had dinner together for a long time, so let's put aside the things in the palace for the time being, and let's save face."

Li Jiaoyun was a little embarrassed.

After so many things, she knows who Song Chen is in her heart, and she doesn't want to disturb the two of them easily. In her opinion, as long as Song Chen can value her two children, she will be satisfied. The rest, she Know that you have never had it, and don't expect it.

But Chu Xue felt guilty towards her in her heart.

In any case, Li Jiaoyun has been with Song Chen for a longer time, and when Song Chen obviously favors her, she can still treat herself with sincerity. Compared with Xu Jinhe, who is kind on the surface but actually cruel, Li Jiaoyun is much better.

If possible, Chu Xue really hoped that Li Jiaoyun would have a better life.

But she also understood that Song Chen's heart was on her, and she really didn't want to share his love with others, so she could only try her best to compensate Li Jiaoyun in other ways.

Knowing what Jiao Yun was worried about, Song Chen also felt a little guilty, looked down at Song Ning, and said, "What Concubine Yi Gui said is that I may not have had dinner with Ning Ning for a long time, so if you have something to do, put it down for now. Let's go to Yufu Palace at noon."

"Yes."

The husband has already sent a message, Li Jiaoyun looked at Ning Ning who was delighted, and had no choice but to agree.

So at noon this day, Yufu Palace ushered in a lively lunch.

When Li Jiaoyun's mother and daughter left, Le'er followed her nurse to rest for a while, and the hall finally became quiet.

In the afternoon of this day, Liangxi and a group of young eunuchs waited for an hour and a half before finally seeing the king who was refreshed after a long break.

Perhaps Chu Xue's devout prayers every day moved the gods, and Song Chen's hard work finally paid off. At the end of April, Chu Xue's monthly letter was a few days late. After asking Cheng Zisong for a pulse diagnosis, the good news was finally confirmed. She is pregnant again.

The Yufu Palace was full of joy. After receiving the letter, Qiu Yan put aside the important matters at hand and rushed over to congratulate her. As soon as he sent Fugui to the Funing Palace to deliver the news, the Queen Mother's rewards followed one after another... Of course the happiest Of course, apart from Chu Xue herself, it was Song Chen who was criticizing papers in the Palace of Qinzheng.

The icing on the cake reward came to him first, and the king rushed back early after finishing his political affairs.

Early summer came again, and the hall was fresh and fragrant. Chu Xue was playing with a pot of jasmine herself. The setting sun slanted into the hall and was falling on her. Song Chen stood quietly, looking at the beauty in golden light, feeling extremely warm in his heart.

Chu Xue was concentrating on treating the flowers in the pot, carefully trimmed the flower branches with small flower scissors, poured water one by one, and looked at them for a long time before she was finally satisfied.But as soon as he turned around, he was startled by the man behind him.

Seeing her trembling in shock, Song Chen took her into his arms without waiting to be offended, and quietly comforted her with a generous embrace.

This was really the best consolation, she didn't say anything, just bent the corners of her lips, quietly smelling the incense on his clothes.

Both of them were silent for a long time, and he said softly, "I have to work hard for you again."

She replied softly, "Bringing children to the emperor is what a concubine should do. Even if it is hard work, a concubine is willing to do so."

He kissed her forehead and said again, "Don't worry, no one will hurt you this time."

Hearing these words, her heart suddenly trembled, and a sense of guilt immediately rushed into her heart, and she thought of the lost child again.

He likes children so much, and he has done such a sorry thing to him...

In the end, he couldn't hold it back, tears welled up, and his eyelashes were wet again in an instant.

Hearing the sound of sobbing, he was startled, quickly raised her chin, and asked softly and eagerly: "What's wrong? Why are you crying so well again?"

She said in a hoarse voice: "Last time, it was because the concubine was not good...it was because the concubine failed to protect the child well..."

Although it was uncomfortable, she still couldn't say it out, she was still rational.

But no matter what, in this life, she has lied to him too much.

She became more and more sad, and he was a little helpless, so he had to kiss away her tears, and after thinking about it, he comforted him: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have left you alone... everything is over, isn't the child here again?" Are you back? Don't be sad, no matter what, you have to think about the one in your belly first."

"Hmm." She nodded.

I really hope that what he said is true. What is in her womb now is the child she lost last time.

She knew that if she continued to cry, it would make the innocent him even more sad, so she had no choice but to try not to let herself think about it, and stabilized her emotions.

Everything, look ahead.

Not long after Chu Xue was diagnosed with pregnancy, it was the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May, and her Leer turned two years old.

Seeing the zongzi leaves arranged early in the morning, Chu Xue immediately thought of the day when she gave birth to Le'er two years ago, and the zongzi she had worked so hard to make for a long time but failed to eat. A practice hand, to make up for regrets.But who would have thought that the lively Le'er would not move her legs when she saw something interesting, and kept trying to mess with her mother. Chu Xue had no choice but to withdraw from the zongzi-making process in order to keep Ruyue and the others from being disturbed. , took Leer to the yard to play.

But even in the courtyard, Le'er was still restless, trying to drag her mother to run outside, Yanling met with some nurses, her heart was raised in her throat, for fear that the little girl would accidentally bump into her mother I want to stop it, but I am afraid that the little man will lose her princess temper, which is very embarrassing.

However, it didn't take long for Yan Ling to see the savior, and the king suddenly arrived.

Sure enough, seeing Le'er persistently pestering Chu Xue, Song Chen immediately put on a straight face and said, "Le'er, don't always pester my concubine."

Le'er, who was about to pounce on her father, saw his expression, immediately stopped and curled her lips.

Seeing the little girl like this, Song Chen felt it was funny and heartbroken, so he hurried forward a few steps, hugged the little girl into his arms, and explained in a harmonious voice: "Mother Concubine has a baby in her belly, and Le'er is going to be a big sister. Of course you have to be sensible, what should you do if Le'er accidentally bumps into the concubine's belly and the baby gets hurt?"

Le'er half-understood, blinked her big eyes for a while, and said, "Sister?"

Chu Xue nodded with a smile, pointed to her lower abdomen, and explained to the little girl: "The baby is here, does Le'er like it?"

Le'er thought for a while, said: "I like it," then asked: "Brother, sister?"

The two-year-old girl couldn't say a long sentence yet, but the adults obviously understood her meaning. Song Chen asked her with a smile, "Would Le'er have a younger brother or a younger sister?"

The little girl didn't even think about it, she said firmly: "Brother and sister."

Chu Xue tapped her small forehead, and said angrily, "Your brother and sister want it all? Le'er is so greedy?"

The little girl giggled.

Her father, however, glanced at her mother with a smile, and said slowly: "Don't worry, there will be brothers and sisters."
