The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 105

A few days later, the Shangyi Supervisor really came to measure Chu Xue's body.

Seeing that her confinement was about to come, she was worried that she hadn't recovered her previous body shape, so she asked, "Compared to when I gave birth to the princess this time, did I gain a lot of weight this time?"

The Shangyi Supervisor who came to serve her personally said with a smile: "Your Majesty is joking, you are now slimmer than last time, you see, the servants have recorded it for you!"

She glanced at the brochure in the manager's hand, and said with a smile: "That's good, I'm still worried that I will become unreasonably fat!"

While speaking, Shang Yi Supervisor had already finished his work, and the supervisor asked her for orders: "My lady, it seems that the full moon feast will be in a few days, and the servants have to measure the size of the fourth prince and the third princess."

"Go." She raised her chin slightly and told Qi Jing, "You take it there."

"Yes." Qi Jing responded and led the people to the side hall.

Ruyue brought her hot soup, she just took it, and saw Yanling stepping in from outside, approaching her, Yanling said softly: "Master, you were in danger in the imperial garden at the beginning of the month..."

She raised her finger to her mouth, signaled Yan Ling to keep quiet, and said, "Wait for someone to leave."

Ruyue pointed to the direction of Xuan'er and An'an's sleeping hall, Yanling realized that someone was coming from the palace, nodded, and stood silently aside.

Waiting for Supervisor Shangyi to come and bid her farewell, Yan Ling stood in front of her and continued, "Master, that day the carriage suddenly lost control, and Director Qiu secretly sent someone to investigate this matter. It's related to Wang Xing'an's bodyguard. The horse that was driving that day was wounded in the leg, so he ran away in fright. At that time, the servants were worried about you and the princess, so they didn't pay attention. However, someone saw Wang Xing'an, and when you were in danger, they just left Yu Huayuan...according to those who know him well, this person is good at archery."

Yan Ling looked serious, and said: "According to the secret investigation by Director Qiu after the incident, this person has frequent contacts with people from Qutai Palace."

Qutai Palace?
Chu Xue paused.Isn't it Concubine Wan who lives in Naqutai Palace?

Chu Xue sneered, and said: "What a concubine Wan, I haven't troubled her yet, she did it first!"

Yanling thought for a while, then asked: "Master, do we want to..."

She raised her hand and said: "I don't need it for now, let people pay attention to Qutai Palace and see if there is any instruction behind it."

Yan Ling nodded.What the master said makes sense. After being grounded for a whole year, how will Concubine Wan feel better in the future?Her hatred for her master seems inexplicable now, but the most important thing is that there is no one behind it.

But the one in Fengyi Palace is already like a waste queen, is there any way to make Concubine Wan work for her?

Yanling felt a little unreliable.

However, there is nothing wrong with this arrangement. After the imperial garden was shocked that day, the emperor disposed of the drivers who drove the car that day. As for Wang Xing'an and Qutai Palace, they did not catch any conclusive evidence, and it was not easy to deal with them openly. .But with the current power of Yufu Palace, the opponents will definitely not get any good end, let them stay for a few more days!
Wanting to understand this, Yan Ling quietly went to the Supervisor of Rituals to pass on a message to Qiu Yan.

Because Xuan'er and An'an were born a few days prematurely, in order to allow the mother and son to spend more time recuperating, the palace ushered in the canonization ceremony of the imperial concubine and princess after one and a half months.

Xuan'er is the prince, and there will be no special canonization ceremony before being crowned king, so today's protagonists are her mother and younger sister.

An Anshun took over the titles of the two elder sisters, and the Ministry of Rites drew up "Princess Chang'an" for her. Her mother, Chu Xue, was wearing a dress like three years ago, kneeling down to listen to the praise in the imperial decree. With the golden seal, she is already the imperial concubine of Daqi.

The difference from three years ago was that the vicious woman was no longer in the palace to witness her canonization ceremony. Moreover, the dress she was wearing at this time was no different from the empress's dress, as luxurious and dazzling.

At the age of 21, she had three children and became a noble and more prosperous imperial concubine.

After the canonization ceremony of Yufu Palace is completed, Xuan'er and An An's full moon banquet will follow immediately.

It was late spring, the weather was already very warm, and the imperial garden was full of purples and reds. It was a beautiful spring. After discussion between the Chief of Rites and the Inner Court Supervisor, and the approval of the king, the luncheon was still arranged on the Yingyue Terrace of the Imperial Garden.

Song Chen not only came here by himself, but also specially approved the leave to go to the study, so that Song Chi, Song Qian, and Song Qi's three elder brothers could be free to attend the full moon banquet of their younger siblings.

Because they wanted to meet many clan relatives, the teenagers went back to their own palace to change their clothes.

Song Chi is the crown prince, and his attire is the most cumbersome among the three brothers. It took about two quarters of an hour for him to put on the golden crown and the python robe. The 16-year-old boy with a crown-like face sank and walked out of the Eastern Palace. the palace gate.

All the way, the spring scenery is thick, but the eyes of the boy under the sun are full of gloom.He has not seen his mother, Xu Jinhe, for more than a year. The mother killed the prince in the womb of Concubine Yigui, that is, his own younger brother. The father imprisoned the mother in the palace forever, and never let the three of them meet again...

He didn't know why the queen mother wanted to kill the little brother who was still in Concubine Yi's womb, maybe it was for herself?Because the ex-mother always told him that everything she did was for him...

In fact, no one knew that if it was possible, he really didn't want to be the crown prince, and if this position was replaced by his second brother Song Qian, it might be more suitable.

But he didn't dare to tell anyone this. He still remembered that when he was young, he said that he didn't want to be a prince because of the heavy schoolwork. He said that he didn't want to be the son of the prince. All her life, she and everyone in her grandfather's family are for him. If he doesn't live up to it, she will not live.

The young Song Chi was afraid, and from then on he restrained himself and tried his best to complete the various tasks imposed on him by his mother, and to be a child who satisfied his mother.But now, his mother has been imprisoned in that palace forever, so is there any point in his efforts?

The golden-crowned boy walked on the stone path among the flowers with his thoughts in mind, but an unexpected burst of laughter pulled him back to the spring day in front of him.

That silver bell-like voice seemed to be that of a little girl. Song Chi thought for a while, it should be Song Ning. Although his elder brother didn't communicate much with Song Ning, after all, there are only three younger sisters in the palace, Le'er Both An'an and An'an were still young, and there was no one else who spoke so clearly except Song Ning, who was six years old.

After walking a few steps forward, Song Ning really appeared in front of her eyes. The little girl was wearing a light yellow dress, talking and laughing, walking hand in hand with the people around her. Seeing him, the little girl stopped walking, timidly. He called timidly, "Brother."

Because he is Xu Jinhe's son, he doesn't usually play with his younger brothers and sisters very much. Although Song Chi is not that scary, Song Ning is still a little timid about him.

Song Chi nodded, said his sister, and then looked at it naturally like the people around Song Ning.

However, the girl in the water-green palace attire was not Song Ning's mother-in-law, Concubine Rong, but Concubine Ning, Concubine Gu.

Ever since I went to Jingtian Temple together with the Queen Mother, Concubine Ning and Concubine Rong have been together a lot. Concubine Ning is young, has a gentle temperament, and likes children. Song Ning likes this aunt very much.Aunt Xue'er now has three children and is in charge of the harem. She is really busy and can't accompany her as before, but Concubine Ning is free. Song Ning often visits Lanlin Palace when she is free, so she Since last year, the two people, one big and one small, have become extremely warm.

Today Li Jiaoyun was not feeling well, fearing that Chu Xue's young children would get sick, so she rested in her own palace, and Concubine Ning took Song Ning to the full moon banquet at noon.

At this time, the two had just come out, so they ran into Song Chi here.

Although we met at family banquets such as New Year's Eve and Mid-Autumn Festival, Song Chi had never paid attention to these concubines who entered the palace later. The crown prince also wouldn't deliberately look at the concubine, so even if they met at a close distance at this time, the young man couldn't recognize the young girl in front of him.

After all, Concubine Ning was only less than two years older than Song Chi, she was already petite and had a baby face. At first glance, she really didn't look like a concubine, but a bit like a young lady who hadn't left the court.

Ordinarily Concubine Ning is Song Chen's concubine, and according to the rules Song Chi, the crown prince, should say hello, but Song Chi, who was meeting for the first time, was a little dazed and looked at Concubine Ning for a long time.

The scene was a bit awkward, and the eunuch of the East Palace next to Song Chi hurriedly bowed to remind him, "Prince, this is Concubine Ning of Lanlin Palace."

"Concubine Ning... Your Majesty?"

Only then did Song Chi come back to his senses, undisguised surprise was fully revealed in Feng's eyes.

This girl who looks younger than herself is actually the imperial concubine?
Hearing the eunuch behind him cough again, Song Chi realized his gaffe, hurriedly lowered his head slightly, and said, "I've seen Concubine Ning."

Concubine Ning's fair face flushed slightly, she nodded lightly as she agreed, then lowered her head and said to Song Ning, "Princess, it's getting late, let's go there quickly."

Song Ning also nodded, raised his face and said to Song Chi, "Brother, let's go first."

Song Chi responded softly, and cast his uncontrollable eyes on Concubine Ning again, but Concubine Ning lowered her eyes and led Song Ning forward.

There was a breeze carried by the dress in front of him, which contained a faint fragrance of flowers. Looking at the back of Concubine Ning leaving, the golden crown boy felt a strange feeling in his heart for the first time.

This taste made him a little lost.

As usual, there were some familiar faces at the luncheon. When Chu Xue, who was dressed in imperial concubine gown, arrived, she saw that Li Jiaoyun was not there, so she asked Hong Shan who was beside Song Ning. I have caught wind and cold for a few days, and the illness has not subsided so far, I am afraid that the little prince and princess will be ill, so I did not come here."

Chu Xue nodded, and said guiltily: "I have been resting for a while, and all the palace affairs have fallen on Concubine Rong's head. I guess she must be too hard-working. You are very good at serving. If you need it, just go to the Imperial Hospital to pass it on."

"My servant thanked the imperial concubine for her care on behalf of the master." Hongshan bowed her knees gratefully.

After a while, the dignified king arrived, and the lunch officially began.

Because the king and several princes were present, the banquet inevitably seemed more grand. Even so, when the two little protagonists, Xuan'er and An An, arrived, they still attracted praise from the guests.

After being raised for nearly fifty days, the two little babies look very good, plus the good looks they inherited from their parents, at this time, the pink carvings and jade carvings are like fairy children in the painting, and the little brothers and sisters are also very respectful , in the hall of Nuo Da, he was not unfamiliar, and he kept smiling, which made the banquet very pleasant.

Luncheons usually don't take too long. After about an hour, the guests dispersed, and Song Chen and Chu Xue returned to Yufu Palace.

The three children went to rest with their wet nurses.After tidying up the mattresses, the palace people also retreated, and there were only two people left in the hall.

Knowing that Song Chen had drunk again and needed a good rest, Chu Xue didn't ask any further questions, so she took the initiative to change his clothes.

Just as his hand touched his belt, he suddenly reached out and pressed her hand firmly.He lowered his head and asked her hoarsely, "Want it?"

The smell of alcohol hit her face, she frowned slightly, and said with a slight smile: "What did the emperor say? You drank, and this concubine wants you to take a good nap."

But he lowered his head, put his lips against her side face, and asked, "Really don't want to? But I do."

His breath blew into her ears, and the beauty was numb all over. She wanted to stretch out her hand to push her, but he half-supported and half-carried her to the bedside.
