The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 104

Although it was a bit of a thrill yesterday, the delivery went smoothly, and after a good night's sleep, when Chu Xue woke up, she looked pretty good, and everyone around her felt relieved.

Now, there are two princesses and one prince in Yufu Palace, and their masters are truly the most blessed people in the entire harem.

Seeing that she was in good spirits, Song Chen mentioned yesterday's thoughts to her, he said: "Yesterday I saw two children and proposed names for them, do you want to hear it?"

She was still holding her little daughter in her arms, she nodded upon hearing this, and looked at him expectantly.

Just listen to him say: "I named the boy 'Xuan'."

瑄？
She meditated in her heart, and suddenly realized that among the names of the children in the palace, only this word was the same as Song Chen's 'Chen', meaning beautiful jade.

It seems that he attaches great importance to this child, she felt satisfied in her heart, smiled and said to the son in the nurse's arms: "Xuan'er, you have a name, your father hopes that you will be as gentleman as jade, remember to thank you for giving the name !"

Seeing that she was also satisfied, Song Chen nodded, leaned over and touched the face of the little girl in her arms, and said, "This child, let's call it 'An'. When you gave birth yesterday, I only had this thought in my mind. "

His deep voice made her heart tremble suddenly, she said softly: "Bringing children is what a concubine should do, and the concubine thanks the emperor for caring."

He looked at her tenderly, with warmth in his handsome eyes.

Perhaps because of their companionship, Xuan'er and An An's routines are very regular.

I wake up early every day, eat milk two or three times, play with my mother and sister for a while, then go to sleep, get up and play for a while in the afternoon, and sleep well at night, because I have twins, They were born thinner and smaller than singleton babies, but after more than ten days passed, they gained a lot of weight, not much worse than normal full-term singleton babies.

Because she had two more children at once, Chu Xue didn't plan to breastfeed any more. After giving birth to twins, she was really tired and needed to rest for a while.Anyway, the most indispensable thing in the palace now is a wet nurse, the two little ones will never go hungry.

In mid-February, considering that she had recovered well, Chu Xue asked Song Chen to deliver an order to bring her mother to the palace for a reunion.

The sister-in-law was going to come too, but there were two nephews at home, and she was afraid that bringing them together would disturb her rest, so the sister-in-law only asked her mother to say hello to her, saying that she would come to see her when the palace was full of moon banquets.

The mother heard about the dangers of her childbirth, and was concerned about her for a long time at home. At this time, seeing her in a good complexion, she finally felt relieved, and saw Xinde's two little grandchildren. Hold each other into your arms one by one, kiss endlessly.

The grandparents and grandchildren in the palace were having fun, and it happened that Le'er, who had gone to Funing Palace to pay her respects, also came back. When the three-year-old Le'er saw her grandmother, she was a little strange at first.They are different from ordinary people in the palace. The last time she and her relatives met at Qin Yuan's big wedding, Ke Leer had never been out of the palace, so she hadn't seen her grandmother for almost two years, so the first time they met at this time, It will be a little strange.

She called the little girl over, and said softly: "This is mother's mother, Le'er's grandmother. Grandmother likes Le'er very much. The doudu that Le'er wore when she was young were all embroidered by her grandmother. Le'er come and call someone, okay?"

Le'er looked at her grandmother, and found that her grandmother was really kind, and kept smiling at her, so she listened to her mother and called her "grandmother".

Mrs. Chu hurriedly nodded in response.

Chu Xue hurriedly boasted: "Le'er has really grown up a lot since becoming a big sister, Le'er is really a good boy!"

Hearing her mother praise her, the little girl shook her head happily, and called her grandmother loudly, which made her even more happy.Then he ran to his younger siblings and gave each of them a sweet kiss.

The adults in the hall were all amused by her.

In fact, to be honest, the little girl is just a little lively and active. If adults coax her well, she is still very obedient. Since there is no outsider in the palace, the mother smiled and boasted: "Le'er is very similar to when you were a child!"

Chu Xue was startled, and looked at her mother. It took a long time to realize what her mother meant. When her mother said that Le'er resembled her, she meant Yue Wen, not Chu Xue.It turned out that the mother always remembered her appearance when she was a child, and the mother never regarded her as a substitute for the little cousin, but another real daughter.

Thinking of her childhood, she felt a little sad, afraid that her mother would also be sad, so she tried her best to hold back her tears.

Song Chen has been very busy recently, and he expected that he would not come over at noon, so Chu Xue insisted on staying with his mother for lunch, and Mrs. Chu also wanted to stay with her daughter and grandchildren for a while, so she followed her order and stayed until after lunch. After dinner, I said goodbye and went back to the house.

In the evening, Song Chen came over to have dinner as usual, and when he heard the sound of communication, Le'er rushed out to meet his father. Chu Xue and the two younger ones were not yet confinement, so it was inconvenient to go out, so they just waited at the gate of the palace.

After a while, I saw him stepping in with Le'er, and when he saw the beauty standing at the door, he frowned slightly and said, "What should I do if I stand here and catch the wind, go in quickly."

She smiled softly and followed him into the hall.

Xuan'er and An'an were still asleep on the couch, Song Chen went over to take a look lightly, then returned to the dinner table to accompany the mother and daughter to eat.

Le'er was praised by her grandmother and mother during the day, and now she is even more obedient. She eats with a spoon and does not need to be fed by her mother and wet nurse. He took the initiative to show the bowl to his father, and naturally he was praised by his father again.

The little man was very proud, he laughed for a while, and then he was coaxed by the wet nurse to go to the bedside to see his younger siblings, and the two remaining parents continued to eat.

Song Chen glanced at her, saw her ruddy complexion, nodded and said: "It seems that the people in the Tai Hospital are doing a good job, and the people in your palace are also good at serving. Looking at it now, it's no different from usual."

She smiled, and suddenly thought of the vacant seat in the Imperial Hospital. After thinking about it for a while, she said, "The concubine also feels that Cheng Zisong's contribution is not small this time, and she is still thinking about how to reward him! Last year's failure Fortunately, he took good care of the children, otherwise the concubine would not have had these two children so soon."

After laying out dishes for him for a while, she said again: "Also, this concubine's smooth delivery is also thanks to his careful cooking. I didn't expect that although he was born in a commoner and he was young, he would be such a talented person. Sure enough, heroes don’t ask where they come from.”

This sentence won Song Chen's heart. He nodded in agreement and said, "This person is indeed good. If there are more people like this in the imperial hospital, there should be many fewer patients in the harem."

She nodded with a smile, and asked inadvertently: "When Sheng Le'er was born last time, if he hadn't discovered the poisoning in the well in time, the concubine might not have seen the emperor long ago. I really don't know how to thank my concubine for saving my life!"

Song Chen paused, and when Chu Xue said this, he also remembered this incident. Now that he thinks about it, Cheng Zisong really contributed to Xueer's mother and son's safety to this day...I also thought of Zhang Tingtian who was accomplice to Xu Jinhe's murder. , The king suddenly became angry, and the two were completely different in comparison. Song Chen said: "You don't need to worry about this matter. I remember that the Imperial Hospital still lacks a deputy envoy, and he can't afford it." Dang, tomorrow I will ask the Ministry of Officials to draw up an edict to promote him."

Chu Xue was certain in her heart, and said with a smile: "In this case, my concubine will thank him for him first."

Song Chen nodded.

The apricot blossoms in the courtyard were in full bloom, and a faint fragrance of flowers wafted into the hall. Song Chen drank a glass of fruit wine and asked her with a smile, "I begged for others, don't you want something?"

She poured the wine for him again, and said with a slight smile: "Now the concubine has sons and daughters, and the emperor treats him sincerely. Nothing else to ask for."

After speaking, she looked at him tenderly.

Putting down the wine glass, he squeezed her plain hand and said: "It will last forever, take care of your body, let the Shangyi supervisor come over in a few days, and it's time to re-cut some clothes."

She was taken aback, looked down at herself, pouted and muttered: "Could it be that the concubine has gained so much weight? Do I have to re-cut the clothes?"

He raised his eyebrows, looked at her for a while, and said, "After giving birth to a child, you became stupid again?"

This was obviously a joke, she bit her lip and said angrily: "The emperor despises his concubines?"

Smiling and sighing, he finally told the truth, "I'm going to the Ministry of Rites to do it today, and when the full moon comes, I will promote you to be the imperial concubine."

The silver chopsticks fell to the ground and made two crisp sounds. She was startled by Song Chen's words, and stared at him blankly.

Royal concubine?
This is a title second only to the queen, even higher than the imperial concubine.

You must know that this title only appeared when Daqi was founded. Song Chen's grandfather, Emperor Xuande, once named a concubine with a very high natal status as imperial concubine, but during the reign of Emperor Jianhe, there was never any concubine. No one has won this honor before, even her mother-in-law's current queen mother only won the title of imperial concubine when she was most favored.

After all, the term "imperial concubine" has not appeared in the harem for decades.

But now it's going to fall on her?
Of course, this title represents honor and power, but now that Xu Jinhe has been imprisoned in the Fengyi Palace, and has no power in his hands, the master of the harem is actually himself. Song Chen did this, could it be just For a reward?

This is actually... a bit superfluous.

But Song Chen didn't think so. She hadn't been appeased by the pain of losing her son last year, and now she has suffered to give birth to a pair of children for him. Although she couldn't say it, she still wanted to express her gratitude. Passing continuous love is these real positions.

Seeing her being so surprised at this moment, a smile appeared in his handsome eyes, but seeing his beauty's face of panic, he declined to himself: "Your Majesty, this concubine thinks that I..."

Knowing that she wanted Qianjin to evade again, he interrupted: "Zhen has already made a decree, there is no room for withdrawal, just make good preparations."

She lowered her eyes, slightly bent the corners of her lips, thought for a while and then frowned and asked: "Of course the courtiers are grateful for such a gift from the emperor, but do the courtiers in the Ministry of Rites have any objections?"

objection?

Song Chen smiled lightly.Don't say that now that Xue'er has given birth to two daughters and one son, the Ministry of Rites has no objection, even if there is no objection, how can a few old ministers' objections be able to stop his decision?
The power has been firmly in my hands, if someone insists on making it difficult, just replace it!

"You don't trust your husband so much?" He raised his eyebrows at her again, wanting to blame but couldn't bear it.

She just smiled at him.He is naturally satisfied in his heart, his position is higher, so that he can give the children a better future, especially Xuan'er, he is the prince, and when he grows up in the future, the strength of his mother will be his strength.

The maid serving the meal had already set the chopsticks for her again, she was already full, and wanted to accompany him again, but suddenly heard a cry, that loud and clear voice must be from Xuan'er, it is expected that when Xuan'er wakes up, An An will also wake up. She must wake up, she lost her mind to eat, and said: "The concubine wants to go and see the child."

He had already eaten, and was thinking about the little ones at the moment, so he got up, held her hand, and said, "Let's go together."

The two got up and went to the children's side together.
