The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 68

Long before the full moon of Chu Xue's mother and daughter, the Chu family had received the imperial court's reward.

The four members of Chu Jian's family, who were away all the year round, were able to return to Beijing, and Chu Lin and his wife were finally able to have fun with their grandchildren and enjoy their family relationship. There was a lot of excitement in the whole house.

Hearing that Chu Xue is about to be promoted to imperial concubine, and that her infant granddaughter Song Le also has the auspicious official title of Princess Yongle, the family is even more delighted.Of course, the Chu family was not only happy about their daughter's promotion, but with her promotion, she finally became more and more able to protect herself.

Not long after the canonization ceremony of Chu Xue's mother and daughter in Yufu Palace was completed, Li Jiaoyun and his party returned to the quiet Yaohua Palace.

The girls Yuzhu and Hongshan were actually feeling a little uncomfortable. Although Yufu Palace had always treated them well, in the final analysis, they were still unwilling for their master.Their master is gentle and virtuous, neither contending nor jealous, and has been with the king for eight years, but now he has fallen under such a young Concubine Yi, who has not given birth to a prince, and just a princess has won such a great favor, How unfair!

Li Jiaoyun didn't think so, Chu Xue's promotion might not be a good thing for her.

Firstly, Chu Xue has a kind heart. If she can really compete with Xu Jinhe one day, she will be able to protect them; secondly, Xu Jinhe is now focusing all her energy on dealing with Chu Xue, and her Yaohua Palace is rare and smooth. With Song Qi and Song Ning by her side every day, she was already very satisfied to be able to watch the growth of the two children with her own eyes. This was something she never dared to think about before Chu Xue entered the mansion.

Hongshan thought about it, and felt that although the master's idea was reasonable, the matter was still not fair. She said: "The master is now the concubine, and the master and wife of Yanzhou should come to the capital to enjoy the blessings! We don't want glory Sheng, can't you just ask for a family reunion?"

This time Li Jiaoyun really sighed. She also missed her natal family in Yanzhou. Although her father half-forced her to enter the Hengwang Mansion at that time, they were the parents who gave birth to her. Blood is thicker than water. If they came to the capital, I also have support nearby, and I will never feel alone and helpless.

But Song Chen actually had his own considerations for keeping the Li family in Yanzhou.When he returned to Beijing, Yanzhou was not guarded by Prince Heng's Mansion, so it was hard to guarantee that Beihu in the north would not be ready to move. Of course he wanted to garrison troops, but he also wanted to leave his confidants to supervise.The Li family has been in Yanzhou for many years and is his confidant, so he does not intend to transfer the Li family back to Beijing.However, he also understood that the older Jiao Yun would inevitably feel bad for Xue'er, so he also made another decree that day - bestowing the title of North Marquis of Lijia Town in Yanzhou to show his respect for Concubine Rong. Valuing and highlighting the emperor Long En.

When the news reached Yaohua Palace in the evening, smiles finally appeared on the faces of Yuzhu Hongshan's two loyal servants.Of course Li Jiaoyun was also happy in her heart, this at least showed that Song Chen still valued her, and it would also give glory to Guangyao's natal family who had always lived in Yanzhou.Most importantly, this move also gave strong support to Qier Ninger's two children.

Feeling more at ease, and with joy on her face, Li Jiaoyun smiled and yelled at the two servant girls, "Tomorrow Yufu Palace will hold a full moon ceremony for the little princess, and many court ladies will come, so hurry up and get ready, and when the time comes, come up with a full moon ceremony." Congratulations, don't lose the face of our Yaohua Palace."

"Yes." The two maids went to the warehouse with a smile and began to choose carefully.

Seeing that Yaohua Palace and Yufu Palace are enjoying success one after another, Xu Jinhe in Fengyi Palace is extremely unhappy.

Song Chen bestowed awards on two concubines one after another, to Chu Xue, it was doting, but to Li Jiaoyun, what was it?He first took Song Qi back from him, and now he conferred the title of Marquis to her natal family. What does this mean?Is it to restrict my natal family, or to restrict myself?Even to restrain Chi'er?
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became, and hurriedly called someone to pass the news to her natal family outside the palace, asking her brother to quickly think of a countermeasure.

Qin Mansion.

Tomorrow the wives are going to enter the palace to attend Princess Yongle's full moon ceremony. After dinner today, Mrs. Qin will call Qin Lian into the room to choose the clothes for her to enter the palace tomorrow.The little girl is fourteen years old, and she has faded from her greenness at the beginning of the year, and she is standing gracefully like a budding lotus.

Seeing his wife putting down her job in a hurry and getting up, Qin Mu suddenly became curious and asked, "It's so late and I have to pick out clothes, where are you going tomorrow?"

Mrs. Qin shot him a look, "I just care about your court affairs. The little princess in Tomorrow Palace will host the full moon ceremony. I, the second rank, have also received the Queen Mother's order. Naturally, I have to go!"

Qin Mu paused, and then remembered that the emperor had announced to the world that Chu Xue, mother, daughter and Chu family were canonized.Thinking of this incident, he involuntarily glanced at Qin Yuan who was still on the dining table, only to see that Qin Yuan paused with his chopsticks-raising hand, but continued to eat in silence after the pause.

He sighed in his heart, since the child reunited with Wenwen last year, every time he returned home, he became more silent.

But before feeling much, Qin Mu thought of an important matter again, since it was a full moon ceremony for the young princess, wouldn't it be necessary for the wife and daughter to meet Wenwen when they enter the palace tomorrow?My daughter was young at that time, so she probably didn't remember anyone from the Yue family, but what about my wife...

The wife used to get along well with her sister-in-law Chu Rong. When she saw Wenwen, would she be surprised by the ninety percent similarity of her sister-in-law's face?It is heard that the Xu family has already suspected, if the wife behaves strangely on the spot, the queen of the Xu family will definitely notice it, right?
No!

He originally planned to continue to hide it from his wife, but now it seems that he has no choice but to tell the truth!

So that night, after his wife and daughter finished their work, Qin Mu pulled his wife into the bedroom and closed the door.

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Qin was very puzzled when she saw the extremely solemn expression on her husband's face.

"You are going to enter the palace tomorrow, and there is something I have to tell you."

Mrs. Qin was full of suspicion, she just looked at her husband, waiting for what he had to say.

Qin Mu sighed, and told his wife exactly who Chu Xue was.

Mrs. Qin had never seen Chu Xue as she is now, and naturally she never thought that Yue Wen was still alive. At the first hearing, she reacted in shock for a long time.It wasn't until she straightened out her husband's words that she finally spoke out and exclaimed: "Wenwen is still alive? That's great... But, the past is really hard for Master Chu's family!"

Qin Mu nodded, "Yes! Master Chu and his wife endured humiliation and endured hardships to bring up Wenwen. Now, as Wenwen, this matter must not be publicized, otherwise it will be a disaster for the Chu family!"

"Ah!" Mrs. Qin nodded, but regretted: "I understand all these things. A good daughter's family will spend the rest of her life in the deep palace from now on..."

Before finishing speaking, Mrs. Qin thought of something, suddenly her expression changed, and she asked in surprise: "Did Nianxiu already know about it?"

Qin Mu sighed, nodded and said: "Last year when I followed me to the Chu Mansion to celebrate his birthday, I happened to meet Wenwen, and he recognized Nianxiu at a glance..."

It was only then that Mrs. Qin figured out why her son didn't like to talk in the past year. She thought it was because he was too busy with errands and was too tired to speak. Now she realized that the child was still thinking about Wenwen!
The husband and wife were silent for a long time, and then both sighed deeply.

Destiny!Why don't you always let people achieve Consummation?

After talking for a long time, it was already late at night when we went to bed, and Qin Mu specifically told his wife, "Wenwen's identity can only be known to a few of us, and when we meet tomorrow, we must not show anything strange."

"Understood." Mrs. Qin felt a little heavy in her heart when she thought of all the things she was about to meet in the palace tomorrow.

The sixth day of June.

Today's Yufu Palace is decorated in a particularly festive manner because more than a dozen wives are about to welcome Xiao Le'er's full moon congratulations.Chu Xue got up early and took Le'er to pay her respects to the Queen Mother. As soon as she came out of the palace, the little guy was attracted by the colorful blooming flowers in the yard. His big black eyes looked here and then there, and his little hands moved from time to time. I waved it a few times, very excited.Seeing her daughter in good spirits, Chu Xue was also in a good mood. On the way from Yufu Palace to Funing Palace, she arrived in a sedan chair in a short while.

Since the full moon, the mother and daughter have come to pay their respects to the queen mother every day. The queen mother especially loves the youngest granddaughter and looks forward to her coming every day. Teasing the baby in the swaddle has become the happiest moment for the old lady.Chu Xue was very relieved that with the backing of the Queen Mother, Le'er would eventually be more stable.

As the guests from outside the palace would arrive one after another, Chu Xue's mother and daughter quickly finished their early invitation and returned to their yard.

About half an hour later, Yufu Palace welcomed the guests.

The mother and sister-in-law arrived first. The sister-in-law had just returned to Beijing not long ago, and now she was able to visit her in the palace again. She pursed her lips, and after teasing Xiao Le'er for a while, her mother picked a spare time and told her that the nurse who was taking care of Le'er had been found, and she could enter the palace tomorrow, she felt relieved and nodded.

The natal family had a conversation here, and other guests arrived one after another. After everyone entered the hall, they all bowed to her first. She sat on the main seat of the main hall with a smile on her head, and her dignified demeanor was like a graceful concubine. The mother was very relieved to see her daughter's growth by the side.

Suddenly a message came from her ear, Mrs. Qin and Qin Lian had arrived, she paused in her heart, and looked out the door to welcome her old friend.

After a while, she saw the mother and daughter of the Qin family walking into the hall. This was the first time they met after many years. Chu Xue was slightly worried, fearing that Mrs. Qin would look strange when she saw her, which would make Xu Jinhe's natal family beside her feel awkward. aware.On Madam Qin's side, seeing the noble concubine sitting there at first glance, she also secretly sighed in her heart, her husband was right, who else could be such a woman who looks like Madam Yue?Wenwen is still alive!

Although she was sighing in her heart, because of her husband's instructions in advance, Mrs. Qin and Qin Lian also gave Chu Xue a big gift. Although Chu Xue couldn't bear it, it was different now. bow down from anyone.

Seeing that Mrs. Qin has been calm from the beginning to the end, she also guessed something in her heart. Uncle Qin Mu must have thought of this, and told Mrs. Qin the truth in advance, and she felt at ease.And since the Qin and Chu families are getting closer now, and Qin Yuan's elder brother has recognized his father as a adoptive father, to her, the mother and daughter of the Qin family are also considered godmothers, so she is very special when greeting the two of them. It's warmed up a bit.In short, from the beginning to the end, she did not let the Xu family see anything strange.

Qin Lian whispered to his mother after paying the salute, "Mother, look at the noble concubine born by Aunt Chu, she is really beautiful!"

Mrs. Qin smiled and nodded, but she sighed heavily for her old friend.

The guests had paid homage to the imperial concubine and the princess, and after having lunch in the palace, they all left and returned. The Yufu Palace, which had been noisy for a long time, finally returned to silence.

In the evening, Song Chen came over for dinner.

Xiao Le'er's schedule is very regular, she played with her father, mother and concubine who had dinner for a while, and when it got dark, she had already yawned, and the parents reluctantly handed over their daughter to the nurses After coaxing them to sleep, when there were only two people left in the room, they also spoke sweet words.

"Is it lively today? Is Le'er good?"

He was busy today, so he didn't take care of it.

"Yeah." She nodded with a smile, "There are quite a few people here, and Le'er is also good. She didn't cry a lot, but she has given the emperor some face."

Looking up at him, she said softly and caringly, "Is the emperor tired today?"

"It's okay." He replied casually, holding the beauty in his arms, gradually getting a little distracted.

The warm and fragrant beauty was in his arms, making it hard for him to resist.In order for her to fully recover, he has endured until now and has not touched her. It has been more than 40 days, and he can love her well.

He leaned over slightly, and whispered in her ear, "From now on, I don't have to sleep alone anymore."

She understood what he meant, she just lowered her head shyly and smiled, but when he was about to rush over, she suddenly got up and said slyly: "The emperor will let my concubine take a bath." After saying that, she turned and went into the bathroom.

The beauty looked back and smiled slightly, making him feel like a spring breeze.He wanted to get up and chase after him, but he gave up after thinking about it. He has been waiting for so long, and this is not too late.

Come out later and see how she escapes.

Not long after, the beauty came out of the bath with a fragrant fragrance, stepped into the bedroom, and slipped into his arms.

Not allowing the slightest waste, the king picked up his beauty and walked quickly into the curtain.

"emperor……"

It's been a long time since I heard her weeping tenderly, and these soft calls are like her plump body, making him unable to stop.

"Xue'er, it's good to have you..."

His voice was hoarse, but he worked harder and tried his best to take her to the secret place that only belonged to the two of them...
