This shadow guard, you are enlightened

Wei Yan returned to Luancheng earlier than everyone thought, just in time for Xing Chenxiu to give birth.

Xing Chenmu received the news a little later, when he and Zhuo Ying had arranged everything in the palace and rushed to the General's Mansion, he happened to see Wei Yan falling straight down outside the bedroom door.

Yang Yunfei, the wife of Lord Hou who arrived together, turned pale with fright on the spot. In the end, Xing Chenmu calmed down and persuaded: "Don't be afraid, Mrs. Hou, General Wei is probably in a hurry. Rest well, it’s only when you’re exhausted.”

Xing Chenmu ordered his servants to help Wei Yan to the guest room to rest, but Wei Yan was worried that Xing Chenxiu would not be able to rest at ease, and struggled to wake up after fainting for a while.

Several people took turns persuading him for a long time, but he didn't know how much he listened to. He fixed his eyes on the closed door, as if he wanted to burn a hole in the door.

Zhuo Ying didn't have much contact with Wei Yan before, and his impression of him was still that of the majestic General Zhenbei on the battlefield in the northern border. Later, Wei Yan was awarded the title of General Jinwei. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses inside and outside all obey his orders.

But today's Wei Yan, the exhaustion of traveling for several days hangs on his face, and the beard that has not been cleaned for a long time is obviously tangled together. .

Zhuo Ying suddenly felt a little scared, if he got the medicine back then, would one day, Xing Chenmu would be like Wei Yan, worrying, suffering, and even blaming himself.

At this moment, Zhuo Ying began to understand Xing Chenxiu's words, maybe the other party had already expected this scene, so he rejected him so firmly...

The crying of the baby interrupted Zhuo Ying's thoughts, and after a while, the door opened, and He Yao'er, wife of genius doctor Hua Xin, came out holding the baby who had been cleaned and wrapped in swaddling clothes.

"Zimu gave birth to a fat boy for you. Although he came out a little earlier, he was safe and healthy. The child is still healthy." Zimu was the word given to Xing Chenxiu by the late emperor. Mistress, who used to be very close to him, didn't stick to those common etiquettes, and said directly to Wei Yan.

Wei Yan didn't even look at the child, he only cared about Xing Chenxiu's safety. He Yao'er wanted to hand the baby to Wei Yan, but Wei Yan obviously didn't intend to take it. In the end, Xing Chenmu couldn't stand it anymore and stretched out his hand He hugged the child clumsily: "Please trouble Mrs. Hua to go in and have a look again, and make sure Brother Wang is safe."

Xing Chenmu is also worried about Xing Chenxiu, but he is more worried about Wei Yan's attitude towards the child. The other party is obviously not happy about the birth of the child. Will he forgive Xing Chenxiu who gave birth to the child without telling him?

Zhuo Ying couldn't wait to move forward to look at the child. The little baby was wrapped in swaddling clothes, only showing a small face the size of a palm, which was very cute.

Zhuo Ying cautiously stretched out her hand to poke that tender cheek, and was afraid of hurting him, so she quickly withdrew her hand. Xing Chenmu saw it, his eyes softened a bit, but he didn't say anything.

Xing Chenmu was not very good at holding a baby, and soon a nanny came to pick up the baby.

After about a stick of incense, the door was opened again, Hua Xin came out and told everyone that the delivery was going well and that Xing Chenxiu was not in danger.

Xing Chenmu followed Wei Yan into the house, and there was still a large amount of blood on the bed sheet. Yang Yunfei ordered Wei Yan to hug Xing Chenxiu and let people put on a clean bed sheet first, but Wei Yan was stunned for a long time, and finally turned to Xing Chenmu. : "Can I ask the Holy One to help me, I..."

It was only then that Xing Chenmu realized that Wei Yan's hands were trembling. The general who could kill the enemy for days and nights with a knife on the battlefield is now so weak that he can't even hold his lover.

Xing Chenmu didn't have time to think about it, and immediately stepped forward and carefully picked up Xing Chenxiu, and waited for the servants to replace the blood-stained objects before carrying him back to the bed.

That day Xing Chenmu didn't stay in the General's Mansion until Xing Chenxiu woke up, and everyone else left early, leaving the house to the two new fathers.

On the way back to the palace, Zhuo Ying remained very silent. When he was approaching Chengyang Hall, he asked, "Does Mu'er really not want me to have a child that belongs to us?"

Even though he knew the answer, seeing Xing Chenmu holding the child, Zhuo Ying couldn't help but yearn in his heart, if it was their child... how wonderful it would be.

"I think if the person lying there today is you, I will only be more afraid and blame myself than Wei Yan." Although Xing Chenmu was also worried about Xing Chenxiu's safety, he knew in his heart that the two were different after all.

Zhuo Ying was silent for a while, and finally said: "I understand..."

He really wanted to have an heir for Xing Chenmu, but he didn't want Xing Chenmu to be frightened. If he really wanted to choose, the heir would naturally be less important than the man in front of him.

Although she was still a little melancholy after thinking about it, Zhuo Ying finally put the matter aside completely.

Wei Yan escorted Princess Changle to get married, and left Luancheng for several months. There was a lot of military affairs to be dealt with in the army. Now that he is back, he has to deal with military affairs and take care of Xing Chenxiu at the same time. , it's a bit like when Xing Chenxiu was first pregnant, he always seemed preoccupied.

Wei Yan took into account that Xing Chenxiu was still in confinement and needed to recuperate, so many things could only be held in his heart and could not be vented.Seeing the two of them like this, Xing Chenmu was a little worried for them, but in the end, the emotional matter couldn't tolerate outsiders' interference, so they could only wait for them to resolve it by themselves.

The child's baby name was Xi'er, Xing Chenxiu's birth of a son was not concealed for too long. After all, Xi'er needed a formal identity. Xing Chenmu hesitated again and again, and finally directly issued the Taoist decree, making Xi'er a virtuous king, and at the same time, the man who could The birth of a child was announced to the world.

This matter caused quite a stir in the court. After all, Xing Chenxiu was the one who married out, and the child must have the surname Wei in the future. The next viscount, now Xing Chenmu has directly conferred the title of a prince with a foreign surname, and granted a hereditary succession to the throne, which shows Xing Chenxiu's status in the court.

As for Wei Yan, on the surface everyone naturally wanted to curry favor with him, but in their hearts they had their own opinions.In addition, in order to take care of Xing Chenxiu, Wei Yan has frequently been absent from the early court recently, and the courtiers dare not say much publicly, so it is unknown what they think of him in private.

Two months passed in a flash, Xing Chen recovered his body and was finally able to go to court as usual, but encountered some accidents outside the palace.

Gongsun Hong, the son of Gongsun Shangde, was discussing the matter of Xing Chenxiu and Wei Yan with others at the gate of the palace. He happened to be bumped into by Xing Chenxiu.

Gongsun Hong is currently serving as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, because his father is the prime minister of the court, no officials in the court, regardless of their official position, dare to offend him. The few people he associates with are Gongsun Shangde's disciples, so naturally he is the only one who follows him.

Xing Chen cultivated himself as the assistant king, and he didn't want to spare him at all. If it wasn't for the time when the court was employing people, there might be even more people involved.

Because Wei Lin and Gongsun Shangde had a certain friendship, Wei Yan tried to persuade Xing Chenxiu, but he stopped him with a few words. It was not the first day that there were gossips in court, but Wei Yan didn't mention a word when he returned home. , Wei Yan knew that he was wrong, so he didn't say more.

Xing Chenxiu intends to pave the way for Wei Yan, and it didn't take long for him to propose a martial arts exam. The selection of generals is also very important to the court. After discussing with the ministers, Xing Chenmu adopted his suggestion and ordered Wei Yan and the Ministry of War to jointly preside over the martial arts exam.

Both Xing Chenxiu and Wei Yan became more and more busy. Seeing that the queen mother liked Xi'er, Xing Chenxiu simply sent Xi'er to Zhengquan Palace from time to time, and took Xi'er back when Wei Yan's duty was over. Therefore, Xing Chenmu and Zhuo Ying You can also see Xi'er in the palace from time to time.

Zhuo Ying loves Xi'er very much, and often prepares some gadgets carved by herself for him.

Today, taking advantage of Xing Chenmu's discussion with several important ministers, Zhuo Ying went to Zhengquan Palace after finishing handling the military affairs of the Shadow Guard Army, to greet the Empress Dowager, and to visit Xi'er by the way, and happened to meet Xing Chenxiu who had just sent Xi'er there .

Xing Chenxiu hurried to Xuanming Hall to discuss matters, and the two just greeted each other hastily, but after discussing the serious matter with Xing Chenmu, Xing Chenxiu suddenly remembered that he had promised Zhuo Ying.

After the rest of the ministers left, he opened his mouth and said to Xing Chenmu: "Zhuo Ying seems to like Xi'er very much, don't you really consider letting him have a child of your own?"

Xing Chenmu frowned when he heard the words: "Brother Wang, why are you here to persuade me..."

"Zhuo Ying asked me for the medicine several times, but I refused." Seeing Xing Chenmu's surprised expression, Xing Chenxiu knew that Zhuo Ying had probably never mentioned it to him, "After Xi'er was born, A Yan did resist it." For a while, but now he is very fond of Xi'er. The biggest problem between us is not whether to live or not, but we have never sat down to discuss this matter calmly, so there are so many follow-up problems What about you, Muer, have you ever understood why Zhuo Ying wants a child so much?"

Xing Chenmu couldn't speak, he really didn't understand the reason, he has always been very resistant to this matter, every time Zhuo Ying talked about him, he brought it up in a hurry.

But if Zhuo Yingzhen asked Xing Chenxiu for the medicine several times, it proves that the other party's desire for children is far deeper than what she originally thought...

Xing Chenxiu persuaded a few more words, seeing Xing Chenmu looking out of the window in a daze, he didn't say any more, just let him think about it.

The following days were still peaceful, and it was a new year in a blink of an eye. Xing Chenmu was waiting for Zhuo Ying to bring up the matter of his heirs again, and wanted to take the opportunity to have a good talk with him, but Zhuo Ying never mentioned it again, but the Queen Mother also saw that Zhuo Ying I have talked to Xing Chenmu about his love for Xi'er several times.

On the eve of the Qiqiao Festival, Xing Chenmu received news that Cangchuan Emperor Helian Chunfeng and Empress Hua Baisu had given birth to a pair of twins. Now Ran Ying has a close relationship with Cangchuan, and Hua Baisu married to Cangchuan in the name of marriage. Yes, Ran Ying naturally had to prepare a congratulatory gift. Zhuo Ying happened to be there when the Ministry of Rites presented the gift list, so Xing Chenmu asked him to help see if it was suitable.

Zhuo Ying had heard about the story between Helian Chunfeng and Hua Baisu, after receiving the gift list, he examined it carefully, and added a few things suitable for children, the Minister of Rites praised him for being careful, even for these Children's products are so familiar.

Now who doesn't know that Xing Chen's animal husbandry favors this Lord Zhuo, so naturally he said nice things, Zhuo Ying didn't listen to the other party's flattery, thought for a while and said: "The virtuous king will be one year old soon, sir, don't worry, as soon as possible Arrange the gift list."

Xing Chenmu was stunned, and after careful calculation, he found out that Xi'er will be one year old in two more months, and Zhuo Ying remembered it so clearly.

After the Minister of Rites left, Xing Chenmu looked at Zhuo Ying thoughtfully for a long time, and sighed secretly.

That night when the two finished their intercourse, Xing Chenmu couldn't help holding Zhuo Ying in his arms and asked, "It's the Qiqiao Festival soon, does Aying have any gifts you want?"

"Qiqiao Festival? Isn't that a women's festival?" Zhuo Ying was a little sleepy, but seeing Xing Chenmu's interest, she still rubbed her eyes and replied, "Mu'er has given enough, and Mingying Palace will give me any gifts." It can't be piled up."

The Qiqiao Festival in Ranying is a day for women to pray for blessings and worship the Weaver Girl, but because of the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, many lovers will also exchange gifts on this day to express their love and pray for a happy marriage.

Xing Chenmu knew that the things he gave in the past were mostly kept as decorations in Mingying Palace. From outsiders, it seemed that this noble concubine was very much loved, but in fact it was not of much use to Zhuo Ying. Since being transferred to his side more than ten years ago, the only person who asked him was to have his child, but he refused.

Thinking of Zhuo Ying's eyes every time he saw Xi'er, Xing Chenmu's heart ached for a long time. After a while, he lowered his head to say something, but saw that Zhuo Ying had already fallen asleep in his arms.

People who used to watch him fall asleep tremblingly in the past can finally rely on him wholeheartedly.

Forget it, Xing Chenmu thought, whoever let him fall on Zhuo Ying thoroughly did not want the other party to have any regrets, Xing Chenxiu can do it, Hua Baisu can do it, he should trust his A Ying, and he will not be willing to leave him alone. .....
