Chapter 110

In Jingye Palace, Shi Jieyu was wearing a pink palace attire, the collar of her fur cloak hugged her pale and thin face, she put her hands to her mouth to breathe continuously, and stomped her feet on the snow.The sound of the footsteps was no longer crisp, with the dullness buried in the snow, Tao Xin had only gone out for a while, and when she came in, she saw her standing in the garden, the snow falling from the branches hit Shi Jieyu's upturned neckline, chilling her. She shrank her shoulders quickly.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing out in such a cold day?"

Her cheeks were flushed from the cold due to standing for too long, her fingers rubbed against each other, and she lost all feeling in her joints, "I want to pick some plum branches and put them in the room, because there has been no ventilation for too long, and I feel uncomfortable all over."

"Your Majesty..." Tao Xin had no choice but to walk down the stone steps and walked along the bluestone slab, "Just leave this kind of trivial matter to the servants."

"They don't understand." Shi Jieyu frowned, and the sorrow she gathered made people unable to help but love and cherish, "Tao Xin, the plum blossoms in Xuan Dynasty are not as fragrant and elegant as in Jingye Palace."

Tao Xin remained silent, the woman looked at the magnificence of the garden in full bloom, and said excitedly, "The emperor knows that I not only love to plant some tea trees, but I also have a special liking for plum blossoms, I clearly remember that the first time Jingye Palace The repair was because of the emperor's words that all the precious flower seeds in the courtyard were wiped out overnight, and the plum blossoms in the garden were specially sent from Xiyue Kingdom all the way."

Tao Xin listened quietly, nodding her head from time to time, the emperor was willing to waste money and people for Shi Jieyu, one can imagine how favored she was back then.As in, this proudly standing red plum belongs to the most prosperous time.

"Niang Niang..." Seeing her immersed in memories and unable to extricate herself, Tao Xin couldn't bear it, but still whispered, "Niang Niang."

"Huh?" Shi Jieyu returned to her senses, her face was only flushed, her eyes dodged, "Oh, the red plums under the heavy snow are the most beautiful for a while, the fragrance is pure and strong, Tao Xin, quickly pick some back with me. "

Looking at the disappointment she concealed, Tao Xin couldn't stop her, so she could only follow behind, heading towards the most luxuriant flowering branches.

With the rumors outside and the rumors that have been spread in the streets and alleys, Tao Xin followed behind her hesitantly, after thinking about it, she still said, "Your Majesty."

"What's the matter?" Shi Jieyu snapped off a branch of red plums in full bloom without looking back.

Tao Xin bit her lower lip, although she wanted to hide it, but the queen's pregnancy is a big deal after all, if Shi Jieyu was the only one who kept it from her, it would be one step less to ask An to congratulate her, and people would inevitably make irresponsible remarks.

"My servant heard that the Empress is pregnant." Tao Xin nodded her head on her chest, not daring to lift it up.

The plum branch in her hand fell loose, and one end was stuck aimlessly in the snow. She staggered and took a step back, her eyes turned red from the redness of the garden.

One petal, two petals, the flower should fall silently, why... it hurts so much when it hits my heart?

"Your Majesty..." Tao Xin was worried, stepped forward in small steps, and held her wrist.

"Really?" Shi Jieyu shook her hands away without turning her head, her body was still on the verge of falling and she couldn't stand still.

"Your Majesty, don't scare the slaves."

"Tao Xin, when did you become so timid?" Shi Jieyu turned around quietly, with a forced smile at the corners of her fragile eyes, "The empress is pregnant, it is a good thing for the world."

"Your Majesty is right." Tao Xin hurriedly responded, fearing that she would be overwhelmed, "Nowadays, the palace is very busy, and the outside of Fengyu Palace is heavily guarded every day, not even a fly can fly in, and even if there are many people In the imperial dining room, the emperor also ordered that the queen's meal must go through three trials before it can be sent to Fengyu Palace..."

Tao Xin told Shi Jieyu the rumors outside one by one, the woman kept a peaceful smile all the time, but in those beautiful eyes tortured by illness, there was no gleam of brilliance anymore, every word hurt her Heart engraved incomplete.The eyes dimmed, dimmed again, until the final silence.

"Really?" She still said the same thing, she turned around and began to look for the plum blossom she wanted.

Looking at her slender back, Tao Xin suddenly realized that she was talking too much, so she quickly silenced her.

Shi Jieyu put the folded red plums between her nostrils, and smelled them lightly, "By the way, the empress is pregnant now, Tao Xin, come on, let's pick some more and send them away."

Seeing a smile on her small face, Tao Xin responded with a full mouth, and happily stepped forward to help.

In Fenglian Palace, as she said, there are three floors inside and three floors outside. It is estimated that even an ant would not be able to climb into it.Feng Feiyue propped up her chin with one hand, watching the battle outside, she couldn't help laughing.

"Ma'am, what are you laughing at?" Li Yan was puzzled and warmed up the tea in her hand.

Concubine Feng read it but smiled and said nothing, two figures came into her eyes, at first glance, it was Tao Xin and Shi Jieyu.

The guards saluted and did not stop her. Tao Xin was holding a porcelain vase in her hand, inside was filled with plum blossoms, big and small, one branch at a time.

"The concubine sees the empress..."

"The servants see the empress..."

"Everyone get up." Concubine Feng Yue was so sick these days that she just lay down on the imperial concubine's couch and didn't bother to move.

"Thank you, ma'am." Shi Jieyu stood up first, and Li Yan next to her put the vase on the table.

"This is……"

"Queen, these are the plum blossoms picked by my concubine. They are still fresh. Your empress is pregnant now. You have to pay attention to these things." Shi Jieyu stood in front of her, the snow stains on the cloak touched the temperature of the room. Afterwards, it had begun to melt, and she herself realized this, looking at her dirty footprints on the ground covered with expensive blankets, the woman blushed instantly, feeling ashamed.

Although Feng Feiyue was unwell, she still sat up and said, "Thank you, Shi Jieyu, Li Yan, take a seat."

"No, no, it's fine for the concubine to stand." Shi Jieyu became more and more embarrassed, her feet were brought together, her toes were facing each other, and she looked extremely helpless.

Concubine Feng smiled slightly, Li Yan had already moved the stool over, "Don't mind Shi Jieyu, there is no need to be so trembling in front of me."

She nodded in panic and sat down. Seeing this, Tao Xin stood behind her.

Shi Jieyu seldom spoke. Sometimes, when Concubine Feng asked a question, she would answer carefully, with a humble tone, for fear that she might accidentally say something wrong.For such a person, Concubine Feng always feels that she is too tired from life and has lost her willfulness.

After sitting for a short while, the woman stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, her eyes fell on her unobvious lower abdomen, and there was a profound meaning in her pupils, which was fleeting.

As soon as Shi Jieyu left, the emperor stepped in with his back.

"What a beautiful plum blossom." He praised casually, and Concubine Feng turned over when she was lying down, "Shi Jieyu just sent it."

Gu Yezi's strides froze there for an instant, and when she turned her head, her eyes fell on the competing delicate and beautiful flowers, and there was a strange flash in her eyes, a little heavy, but not obvious.

Concubine Feng read it clearly, "Does it look good?"

Gu Ye's eyes dodged, and she walked towards her firmly, "No matter how beautiful it is, it can't stand up to maintenance. Put it in a bottle, and it will wither sooner or later."

Concubine Feng Yue nodded her head, her body was embraced by him, and her hot palm came over and landed on her lower abdomen, "Today, is he obedient?"

"Be obedient." Feng Feiyue smiled slightly, she didn't cry, she didn't make trouble, and she didn't come to kick herself, of course she was obedient.

"It's good to be obedient." Gu Yezi said in a serious manner, and comforted her belly a few times with his palm.

"But, I always want to sleep." When a person is pregnant, it seems like she has narcolepsy.

The emperor laughed dumbly, got up and carried her out to Feng's couch. Concubine Feng looked at the bottle of beautiful plum blossoms, and said to Li Yan who was beside her, "Put it on the table, it's too close, it's so pungent. of."

"Yes, ma'am." Li Yan stepped forward a few steps, moved the vase to the desk beside her, and said goodbye.

"Sure enough, it's a lot heavier." Gu Yeju only took a few steps, and couldn't help teasing.

Concubine Feng smiled secretly, and just as she settled down, the emperor also lay down.

For a while, I really wanted to sleep, but I couldn't fall asleep anyway. Concubine Feng was pillowed on his chest, and even the air smelled sweet and fragrant, that was a feeling of happiness.

On the long platform, there is an unknown dark bedroom. The white porcelain bowl reveals the coldness of death, and the moon in the water reflects the gloom in the hall.

The loose long hair fell on the heels, and a drop of blood on the middle finger fell into the water and melted away.It was pure water, but the rim of the bowl became scarlet with the drop of the woman's blood. On the high arched altar, there was a bottle with a branch of plum blossom in it. It was dim, and there was no fire in the hall, so the woman's face could not be seen.

Turning her middle finger along the bloody water, she picked up the whole bowl, and poured the fishy-sweet liquid on the plum blossom without leaving a single drop.Bright yellow flowers.The pistils have now been dyed red, and the flowers that were in full bloom are closed one by one with the dripping of blood.So weird, so spooky.

In Fenglian Palace, the two hug each other tightly on the couch, but they are both sound asleep.

The plum blossoms on the table are still there. There is no wind. The flowers that should be motionless suddenly tremble, and the branches collide with each other. Large pieces of petals fall down with this violent movement, and the ground is full of charm, in twos and threes. Stacked in one place, although thank you, it is very beautiful.

On the couch, Concubine Feng wanted to turn around, but she was imprisoned and could not move. She murmured and rubbed her head against his chest a few times, but she did not wake up.

Between the smooth and white eyebrows, there seems to be something moving faintly. When you look closely, it is a half plum blossom with a beautiful shape. It hides there quietly, sometimes it is obvious, and sometimes it is not suitable for people to notice.

In the early morning of the next day, the emperor still went to the morning, and Concubine Feng was sleepy and got up late.

Li Yan picked up the clothes and put them on her, and while helping her to wash, she said inadvertently, "It's strange to say, the pot of plum blossoms that Shi Jieyu sent yesterday, my servant thought it would last for a few days, but today I saw it. All the good petals fell off."

"Oh?" Feng Feiyue followed her gaze, and saw that the vase was placed there bare, only a few branches, and a few unobvious flowers left.
