[15]

That night, Concubine Hui woke up from a dream, but felt unbearable pain in her abdomen, she was pregnant, but it was not yet the day to give birth, so she was very nervous, and hurriedly called someone to call the imperial physician.Before the imperial doctor arrived, she was in pain for a while, and the experienced woman said that she was about to give birth.In the house, he hurriedly opened the shelf for delivering the baby, and went to call Mrs. Wen again.

Concubine Hui was in pain from the third watch to the fifth watch, and finally gave birth to the prince when the sky was approaching dawn.Prince——she has exhausted her whole life's strength, and everything around her is as unreal as a lifetime ago, but she still heard these two words.A court lady brought the child to her to see, and when she looked at the little ball that was still covered in blood, she felt that she had seen all the hope for the future.

There was a lot of fighting in the palace all night, but it didn't affect the emperor at all.When Zhang Jie got up to change his clothes in the morning, Liu Shan stepped forward and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, happy to have a dragon son."

Zhang Jie seemed a little confused for a moment, and Liu Shan then reminded: "It's the concubine Hui, mother and child are safe."

Only then did Zhang Jie nod his head knowingly, and said, "Very good." But his heart was actually very calm, and he didn't feel very happy.He already had two princes and two princesses, and this is his third son. He is no longer as satisfied and joyful as when he first had a child.

Liu Shan asked again: "Your Majesty, do you want to go and have a look after the morning court?"

Zhang Jie thought for a moment, then said, "Go and have a look."

Concubine Hui was tired all night, and after a short rest, she heard the holy car coming.Zhang Jie told her to lie down and rest without moving, and took the child to watch.

When the baby was just born, it was naturally not white, tender and cute, but rather ugly with wrinkled brows and eyes, especially this child was less than a month old, his limbs were as thin as a tree branch, and his whole body was almost the size of a palm, which was hardly humanlike.

But at this time, a nanny said at the side: "The third prince was born well, his eyes are like your majesty, and his mouth is like your empress.

Zhang Jie laughed and said, "Is it so ugly?"

Liu Shan covered his mouth and smiled, the nanny turned pale with fright, begging for forgiveness.

Zhang Jie: "It's nothing, why panic. Take a closer look, this mouth really looks a bit like Concubine Hui."

All the ladies in the palace, Mammy finally calmed down and stopped making random noises.

Zhang Jie saw that the little thing was really ugly, but he also thought it was amazing that such a small baby could grow into a seven-foot man in the future.Probably because of the blood connection, he actually felt a little kind when he saw this little thing whose face could not be distinguished.

He suddenly remembered that he said a few days ago that he wanted to tell Yan Qinghe about a marriage. After thinking about it, he felt that Yan Qinghe was a family-oriented person, and if he had children in the future, he should be very close.What if he was holding the baby?It should be smiling, eyes fixed, full of joy written on the face.

Zhang Jie thought of Yan Qinghe's demeanor when he was with him again - always without a smile, always cautious, fearful and forbearing.He didn't care much about Yan Qinghe's reaction in the past, it was just for his own comfort, and it wasn't for the two to please each other.If you get along happily, that's fun, and it's fine if you can't have fun.

But at this moment, thinking of Yan Qinghe's joyful scene of sharing family relationships with his wife and children in the future, he became unhappy for no reason.what is that?Is it like pity, or ridicule?Laughing at his rank of ninety-five can force another man to lie under him, is it still so pitiful and ridiculous in the end?

Seeing that the emperor's original smiling face sank for some reason, everyone was panic-stricken.Concubine Hui didn't know where her child had violated the emperor's taboo, seeing the emperor's gloomy face, her hands and feet were suddenly cold, like falling into an abyss.

Zhang Jie came back to his senses, and handed the child back to the nanny, looking as usual.He comforted Concubine Hui with a few words of comfort and praise, told her to take a good rest, and ordered the rewards to go on, and then left.

As soon as the emperor left, Concubine Hui struggled to get up, holding the child in her arms and checking it over and over again many times, confirming that there was no problem, she was relieved.

After leaving the court on the second day, Yan Qinghe was stopped by the palace gate, saying that the emperor was waiting for him in the study.This was not the first time, Yan Qinghe responded and went to the study.

At this time Zhang Jie dismissed the palace people and told Yan Qinghe not to salute, but to sit down at will.

Yan Qinghe first said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty for having another heir, the blessing will last forever."

Zhang Jie smiled and said, "You guys are well informed." He added, "Five children, I think that's a lot. Emperor Taizong had thirteen sons, I can't imagine it."

Yan Qinghe said: "Although I have not been married for a long time, I really want to have a child. I am always envious when I see other people having fun with my son. Your Majesty's prince is smart and quick-witted, and I also..." As he spoke, he saw the emperor's lips While still smiling, there was some gloom between his brows.He didn't know which words he said offended the emperor, and he couldn't figure it out, so he had no choice but to stop the words abruptly.

Zhang Jie suddenly changed the subject, and said, "You are a busy person, and it is difficult for me to see you. Sometimes I wish you were a dandy in Beijing, with less restraint."

At this moment, Yan Qinghe suddenly thought, could it be that the emperor loved children and was obsessed with heirs and did not want to do the thing of splitting the peach and cutting off the sleeves?So the emperor was unhappy when he heard such words and touched the sad past?Thinking of this, he didn't hear the emperor's joke for a while, and when he raised his eyes, he was a little dazed, and he was phrasing while recalling the emperor's words.

Zhang Jie asked, "Where does the mind wander if Shi'an's mind does not belong?"

The emperor's gaze was still gentle, but very deep. Yan Qinghe was a little caught up, forgot to speak for a while, and didn't know how to speak.But someone always had to answer the words, and it took him a long time to make an unconvincing excuse: "I... I am thinking about official duties. Your Majesty, forgive me."

Zhang Jie obviously didn't believe it, so he chuckled lightly, but he didn't bother anymore.He changed his posture, leaned on the back of the chair casually, and played with the wrench in his hand.

Just as Yan Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor asked, "Shi'an doesn't want to come to see me, does he?" His tone was also relaxed and idle.

Yan Qinghe heard it clearly this time, and his heart that hadn't fallen back was suspended again.He didn't want to be negligent, so he said: "Chen..." After waiting for a long time, I couldn't figure out why.

Yan Qinghe didn't know why the emperor gave him such a difficult problem.It is your honor that the emperor favors you. How many heads dare to say no to Shengen?But if he wanted to say yes against his will, he really couldn't say it out loud, not to mention that the emperor couldn't possibly believe it—this was a crime of deceiving the emperor.

There is no need to ask this question, why ask it to make it unpleasant?

Yan Qinghe couldn't figure out why the emperor specially called him here, but he was attacking him.Of course, it wasn't the emperor's conscience who found out that it was too absurd for the past few months to be a ruler or a minister or a minister.But what kind of tricks the emperor wants to play, he has never been able to figure it out.

But he didn't want to stand still, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I dare not."

It's not that I don't want to, it's that I dare not.Yan Qinghe originally thought that the emperor would be angry, but he didn't expect to make the emperor laugh again.In fact, Zhang Jie didn't have so many thoughts this time.He just felt that he hadn't seen Yan Qinghe for a long time, and the last time he went back to Wuyuan in a hurry, it aroused his thoughts.As for asking such a question, he himself did not expect it.

What answer did he want to hear?He just asked out with some inexplicable unhappiness as if to vent.

So he put on a gentle face again and said, "You don't understand."

He said: "I hope you will be happier...you are always depressed, and I should be sad too."

Zhang Jie understood it himself.He is too greedy.

Originally, he was just greedy for these eyes and tried to deceive himself with them, so as long as Yan Qinghe was obedient enough, he could not care about the other party's reaction.But at this time, he was greedy even more—he gave his own affection, whether it was true or false, and always devoted himself to it, but Yan Qinghe wished he could write the words "following orders" on his face.He wanted Yan Qinghe's response, even whether it was true or not.

Besides, the winter is getting deep, he always thinks of Zhang Yuan back then, thin and depressed.Seeing that people's brows are not raised, it seems to be laughing at his incompetence, Zhang Jie feels more and more aggrieved.

Yan Qinghe was at a loss again by the emperor's words.The emperor's expression was always too serious, so serious that he almost believed that what he said was true.

Zhang Jie's mood seemed to get better again, as if the unhappiness just now didn't exist.He smiled and said: "I said before, I want to see you smile more." He recalled the figure of Yan Qinghe talking and laughing with others that day holding a branch of white plum, and he had a refreshing air: "You look very good-looking when you smile."

Yan Qinghe's ears felt hot when he heard it, and he hurriedly took a sip of tea.Others praised his appearance a lot, and he was happy to accept it.But it was the first time for the emperor—even in bed, not when the love was strong.

He has always known that he is "another person", the emperor is not looking at himself, and naturally he will not be boasting about himself.But this time the emperor really looked at himself——Yan Qinghe couldn't tell what was the difference, but he could feel the difference, a difference that could only be felt by those in the middle of the game.

When Yan Qinghe returned home, he felt tired.The power of the sky is unpredictable, and today the emperor is extremely cloudy and uncertain. His heart hangs up and down at the same time, it is really unbearable.

He couldn't guess how long the emperor's demands on him could last, but Gu Jin just mentioned his marriage again.Yan Qinghe secretly sighed, it depends on when the emperor is willing to let him go.

Yan Canghong hadn't returned at dinner that day, and it was already very late when he came back.Yan Qinghe helped pack up the hot food and asked him, "What happened?"

Yan Canghong said: "It's nothing serious. There was a mistake in the account check today, and I haven't figured it out yet."

"Tax?"

"No," Yan Canghong said, "it's the money for the fortifications and the dam. I don't know what went wrong, there shouldn't be a problem."

Yan Qinghe frowned: "On the dam? If there is a flood in spring, I'm afraid something big will happen..."

Yan Canghong nodded and said: "That's right, so although the flaw is small, it must not be vague. It's too late now, if you still can't figure it out, you should ask someone to make a special trip in the next year."
