The glorious spring scene of the Red House

The wind is warm, the willows are green, and it has been two springs and autumns in a blink of an eye.

Ever since Concubine Wu Xian gave birth to the eldest princess, there has been no interruption of good news in the palace, it really blossomed and bore fruit everywhere.

This Yang Min also seemed to have found the knack, this childbirth was like opening a gate, and it never stopped.

Spring is over and summer is approaching. The wind in May is mixed with fine white and soft catkins, which itch on people's faces when they are scratched.

On this day, Concubine Wu Xian posted a flower post and invited concubines from all palaces to appreciate the azalea together.

"This azalea really lives up to its name." Concubine Huang Zhuang praised.

"Otherwise, this rhododendron would not have gotten such an alias." Concubine Wu Xian said with a smile.

But Yu Yu glanced at other places, looked down at the small yellow flowers under the rhododendron, the azaleas were like fire, it was too fierce in people's eyes, making people feel unreal.The azaleas are all planted in patches, and now they are blooming together, the whole land seems to be lit with a fire, and the eyes of the people who are illuminated are red.

Flowers are like fire, people are like flowers, this is an ordinary party, all the concubines are dressed very casually, but no matter how casual and simple, all the people are wearing high-quality materials and exquisite workmanship, it looks like a hundred flowers blooming.

This kind of gathering is actually very boring. Some people are not pointing to the azalea and telling the allusions, or drinking tea, talking about the origin of the tea, or how exquisite the pattern of the clothes is, or the hair on the head. Whether the jewelry is bright or not.

Chatting back and forth, there are only a few topics, the high-ranking concubines are being flattered and flattered, while the low-ranking concubines are thinking of saying something flattering, so that the high-ranking concubines can laugh more.

Yu Xing's interest is not high, when he can't see this flower, he has to sit here for a long time, looking for the past and present, looking at the flower, thinking of thousands of words.

Concubine Liu Shun, who was sitting by the side, saw Yu Yan lowered her eyes, and her eyeballs seemed to be staring at the tea leaves floating in the teacup in her hand, so she asked, "But this tea doesn't suit your taste, Concubine Hui. How about letting them make another cup?"

Yu Yan was in a daze, but when he heard words in his ear, he slowly turned around and looked at Concubine Shun, after a while, he realized what Concubine Shun had just said to her.

Shaking his head slightly, Yu Yan said with a smile: "It's very unnecessary, I don't like drinking tea these days, just ask them to pour some warm water."

"But what's wrong?"

"No, it's just that the taste has changed recently."

Yu Xi has lost his appetite these few days, but sometimes he has a big appetite, wishing he could lick all the dishes on the table clean.The nuns in front of Yu Xun were terrified by Yu Xun's behavior, but Yu Xun didn't have any obvious symptoms, so it could only be regarded as a disorder of spleen and stomach.

This kind of hunger and full meal naturally ruined the stomach. Yu Yan smelled the tea and immediately lost his appetite. Even when he drank the plain water, he found it difficult to swallow.

Although Yu Xing felt a little uncomfortable, he still had a smile on his face, and he chatted happily with Concubine Liu Shun.

Looking at the thin Concubine Liu Shun, Yu Yu sighed a little.Speaking of which, Concubine Liu Shun has followed His Majesty since His Majesty was still a prince.But after she entered the mansion, she has been in poor health and often needs to drink medicine.Because of these reasons, it is not easy to be favored, and the relationship with His Majesty gradually fades away.

But Concubine Liu Shun has always followed the rules and is very popular with the queen.

The relationship between Yu Yu and the queen is just like that, neither good nor bad, naturally they are not the same as Concubine Liu Shun, but the words of the two of them on the scene are still beautiful.

Neither the Empress nor Concubine Zhen was present at this flower viewing banquet, not because they were unwilling to participate, but because both of them are pregnant now, and the fetal image is not very good, so they can only stay in the palace to raise the baby quietly.

The empress once gave birth to a child, and then she was not pregnant for many years, so it was somewhat hindered at the moment, but it was reasonable.But Concubine Zhen was scaring herself, she didn't eat this and that, she forcibly boiled herself and the baby in her stomach to death.

Leaving aside these two people for now, the flower feast is still going on.

Concubine Wu Xian was in high spirits, she asked the Queen for an order to host this flower banquet, naturally she wanted to hold some fame, and she would often host these activities in the future.

Concubine Wu Xian clapped her hands a few times, and asked everyone to stop the cups in their hands, and all looked at her: "It's boring for us to enjoy the flowers, why don't we each write a poem, pass it on to each other, and try our best to see who can get it?" Top prize?" Concubine Wu Gui looked at the crowd, eager to try.

Yu Yan echoed: "I think this is a good idea, but I don't have much poetic talent, so I can still see people with this handwriting. Why don't I copy it after everyone's poems are completed, so that I can collect a booklet."

Huang Yuting covered her mouth with a smile, looked at Yu Yu, and said, "I thought you were going to start, but I didn't expect you to be lazy."

Yu Yan smiled more heartily, looked at everyone sitting, and said: "I'm not the only one who wants to avoid laziness, why don't you ask everyone sitting here if they also want to make a fool of themselves so that they can escape this incident .”

The concubines in the palace have different backgrounds, so the degree of acceptance of culture is naturally uneven.Some people can only read a few words, and they are out of the ranks of illiterates. How can they do such splendid poems and essays! .

Concubine Wu Xian smiled: "You are just narrow-minded, don't you think I don't know? You interrupted me before I finished speaking. Everyone sitting here, don't reject good or bad, write what you can, just write a few sentences It's also good. If it doesn't work, then write famous articles from ancient and modern times. It's also good to make up the number. Although today is the time to appreciate azaleas, but now is the time when a hundred flowers bloom. Let's take flowers as the theme, and we don't reject any flowers. Flowers are fine."

Now that I have said this, if I don’t write it again, it will appear hypocritical.

The place where Yu Yan and the others stayed was originally a temporary arbor. Although it was only a temporary building, it was still exquisitely made. At this moment, the sun was gradually rising, and a gust of heat was steaming up. I put down the thin bamboo curtains around the pergola, and set up a few fans to blow the wind slowly.

Yu Xun knows nine things out of ten when it comes to poetry, but he really doesn't know anything about it.When he was in Siji Division, Cui Siji had taught him, but Yu Yu had been studying for a long time but he didn't get the hang of it, so Cui Siji gave up.

In the end, Yu Yan only wrote some famous poems to make up the number, and as he said before, he copied the poems written by the concubines themselves.

As for the poems I wrote, I can only count them in one hand, but even if they are few, I still have to judge them.No matter how you look at it, it is the best song written by Concubine Wu Xian

Concubine Wu Xian got the first prize, so she was naturally overjoyed, and felt that the flower banquet was a success, and thought that when the lotus on the Misty Pond was in bloom, she would invite people to enjoy the water hibiscus.

It was three poles high in the sun, and Yingshanhong was dazed by the direct sunlight from the valley, the flowers were no longer bright, and everyone lost interest in admiring the flowers again.

This flower feast has come to an end.

People in Concubine Wu Xian and Concubine Huangzhuang's palace all came to report that the princess had woken up and was in a hurry to find her mother.The two hurriedly got into the sedan chair, their hearts seemed to fly, and they wanted to go back to see their daughter.

That's right, Concubine Huang Zhuang also gave birth to a daughter.

Now these two are married women.As long as these two encounter things related to their daughter, other people and things have to stay behind.When talking about their daughter, both of them had an unspeakably gentle smile on their faces, and they even seemed kind to others.

Watching those two leave, Yu Yan felt soft in his heart when he thought of those two snowball-like little people.His face was full of envy, and he really wanted to have a daughter.

After ordering the rest of the matter, Yu Xun wanted to go back home.This place is very close to Changning Palace, so Yu Yan didn't sit in the sedan chair, but thought about holding Mother Xu's hand and walking back slowly.

Yu Xun walked on two legs, and the talented concubines in the same palace as Yu Xun naturally did not dare to sit in a sedan chair, so they could only walk behind Yu Xun.They didn't have as good physical strength as Yu Yan, and they gasped after walking two steps.

The footsteps stopped, Yu Yan turned around slowly, and ordered: "Let the sedan chair following behind come up, the sun is so hot now, if you all get tanned, I will feel sorry for you."

After all, you can't follow your own will.Looking at those panting beauties, how could Yu Yan have the heart to make them tired.

"Thank you, Madam, for your compassion."

Yu Yan laughed, these are also very polite.

After returning to the palace, she changed her clothes and sat in front of the mirror, letting others comb her hair.

The time Yu Xi can relax is only for a while.

In the past two years, Yu Yan has had a very difficult time. Although he dotes on her today, he never gave up the whole garden for her.Although there was no draft in the past two years, many maids in the palace have been favored by the present.

Those court ladies, after being favored again, had to do the original work by themselves if there was no special order, which was no different from before.There is only one difference, they no longer walk half a step outside the palace gate, other maids can choose to go home or stay in the palace, they don't even have the chance to choose when Wu Zetian crosses into Empress Dowager Cixi.

Yu Yan looked at herself in the mirror, a little flustered, she was obviously still so young, she should be a lively and active age, but now she was trapped in a mold that had already been set, and she couldn't get any further.

She's just a genius... Life has just begun, so she can only spend most of her life like this?Yu Yu couldn't help asking himself.

"You say... am I already old?" Isn't it just old? Although the body is not old, the heart is already old.

Yu Yan couldn't help but do the math, if the age in this life was added to the age in the previous life, she would really be at the beginning of four at the moment, and on the road to five, she would never return.

The movements of the maid's hand paused: "Why did your empress say that?"

"It's nothing, it's just a random question, you can continue." He Bi frightened the little girl.

Yu Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this palace is like this day after day, every year is the same.Such unchanging days are slowly eroding Yu Xun's will little by little, and gradually... Yu Xun began to panic, she felt that she was not fundamentally different from other people in this palace Well, the bit of modern memory that she clings to just adds to her troubles, without any practical use.

This kind of consciousness made Yu Yu feel more and more afraid. She couldn't sleep all night, recalling those modern memories over and over again, to prove that those were real and extremely useful to her.

Seeing Yu Yan's sleepy expression, Madam Xu couldn't help but feel happy.These days, Yu Yan always takes a nap during the day, his appetite is up and down, and there are some side symptoms, no matter how you look at it, it looks like...

If Yu Xing knew what Nanny Xu had conjectured, she might just smile, and then when Nanny Xu found out that she wasn't pregnant, she would reward her with something to calm her down.

Life without love is like a pool of stagnant water. What is the difference between living like this and being a durian.Do you use the smell of durian to show that you are still alive?

Yu Yan wanted to cheer up, live a good life, and take care of her affairs in the palace.But she soon discovered that since the affairs of the palace were on the right track, she no longer needed to worry about it at any time.

Within a few days, the menstrual event came, and Yu Yan collapsed on the bed like a puddle of mud, throwing everything aside.

While serving Yu Yan wholeheartedly, the nuns sighed behind their backs.Why is their concubine Hui so unmarried?

In these years, Yu Yan knows a little bit about the considerations of the nuns, but now she is just a fool waiting to die, how can she protect the future of those nuns.

Yu Yan clutched his stomach, pretending to be in pain, and ignored everything.But in fact, she didn't have any pain at all, except that her calf was a little swollen, and she just felt hungry.

This is actually her mental problem. Yu Yan is not physically hungry at all, but she just can't help but want to eat.

Yu Xun had her menstruation, so it was not easy to go to bed, but in the evening, the East Palace still sent a message to let Yu Xun pass.

This is not the first time this kind of situation has come across, usually Yu Yu only needs to go over to have a meal with him, and then chat with Yang Min for a few words before he can come back to rest.

Grandma Xu and Grandma Jiang beside her whispered to each other, frowning from time to time, then walked up to Yu Yan and whispered softly.

Hearing what Mother Xu said, Yu Yan said very calmly: "You asked me to praise those in my palace, it's not like I haven't never praised them before. In the past two years, I have said it several times in front of today's majesty. , but what about them..."

"My lady, please think about it carefully. Nowadays, there are pregnant women in every palace, and no one in Changning Palace has any good news. Those who don't know who your lady is, think..."

"You think it's okay for me to abuse them?" Yu Yu felt that he was already very friendly to those in his palace.She never exploited the various items in the palace, and often gave them rewards.

"This old slave doesn't mean to keep his wife in charge of the house. The old slave thinks that if someone in Changning Palace is pregnant, when the child is born, the empress can gather around her so that she can have someone to rely on."

This time, Yu Yan frowned even deeper...

Yu Xing stroked her flat belly and thought, 'Is the child really that important? '

Because she couldn't have a child by herself, she was going to snatch other children?

At the beginning, Yu Yan really didn't want to have a baby, but now he has an attitude of indifference, thinking that if he has it, he will eat delicious food, supplement good nutrition, exercise well, and give birth to a healthy baby.But until now, there is no news about Yu Yan's stomach.

Yu Yu was still thinking, is it because she gave herself too many psychological hints a few years ago, and now she can't conceive even if she wants to conceive?

Let’s talk about the past, it’s okay if everyone’s stomach moves and they are all the same, no matter who it is, they don’t have any objections to Yu Yu.

But now... the bellies of the women in the harem have good news one by one, and if someone has a problem with Yu Yan, it will be big.

Over the years, the clothes have become more and more gorgeous, and the jewelry has been turned into countless tricks.But this time, Yu Yan put on a relatively simple outfit and went to the East Palace.

To put it simply, it means that the patterns on the clothes are all dark patterns, making it hard to see clearly. The jewelry on her body does not have those pearls and gemstones, but a whole set of gold jewelry made of fried beads.

"I've seen Brother Nine."

"I heard that you are not feeling well, how are you doing now?"

Yu Yan had a knot in his heart, and when he spoke, he had edges and corners: "Since brother Jiu knows, why did he call his concubine here? I can't serve you."

"I called you here, naturally I want to see you, why does it look like you've lost weight after seeing you so much?"

"Maybe it's because I've grown taller again."

That's right, the top of Yu Yan's head was almost level with Yang Jin's eyebrows.

Yang Jin took the man into his arms, looked it over carefully, "If you continue to grow like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold you anymore." When he said the word "hug", Yang Zhen's tongue circled on purpose Son.

Yu Xun refused: "Ninth brother... no, it's not convenient for me."

Yang Min bit Yu Yan's ear: "I know it's inconvenient for you, otherwise I would have done you a long time ago."

Even after many years, Yu Yan would still blush when encountering such a move.

"If Brother Nine really wants to, why don't you call Cheng Concubine here?" Cheng Concubine and Yu Yan live in the same palace.

"Tell her what to do, you help me with your hands..."

The two did not make it to the end.

After Yu Xun came out from the East Palace, Yang Jin summoned Cheng Concubine again.

When the concubines in the palace heard this news, they could only grit their teeth and still smile.

In a few days, it will be the day to pay respects to the Queen and Queen Mother.

Yu Xun first ordered all the people in his palace, and then led them to the Zhaoyang Palace. Yu Xun and Cheng Concubine could enter the palace, and other low-ranking concubines could only kowtow to pay their respects outside, otherwise they would not be able to sit inside .After greeting the queen, the queen took all the concubines to Qingning Palace to greet the queen mother.

The queen mother may have lived comfortably these years, but she looks younger than before.

After everyone paid their respects, they were all given their seats, and then they talked about coke to make the Queen Mother happy.

Yu Xing stood aside, unable to get in a word, this was not the first time, there had been signs of it since half a year, and now it is becoming more and more obvious that it leads to heaven.The queen mother didn't do anything to Yu Xing, she just ignored Yu Xing, completely ignored, and treated Yu Xing as if it didn't exist.

If it was someone else, he would have already knelt down and apologized, or he could not bear this kind of indifference and gradually went mad.

After returning from Qingning Palace that day, Yu Xun himself was fine, but the way others looked at Yu Xun changed.I went to pay my respects several times in the future, but the Queen Mother still did the same.Yu Xun was sitting next to her, but the Queen Mother didn't even bother to give Yu Xun alms.

The empress dowager's dislike for Yu Yan was already on the surface, and the concubines in the harem were also aware of it, but so what, as long as your majesty still goes where Yu Yan is, Yu Hui, the concubine Hui, can still be a safe concubine.

After more than a month, good news came from the concubine Cheng in Yuyan Palace.

Hearing this good news, Yu Yan not only did not relax, but also felt anxious and urgent.

In fact, it wasn't sudden, Yu Yu was extremely eager to have a child of her own.At no time did Yu Yan look forward to the arrival of a child like this.But she is not fully prepared yet, she shouldn't let a little life come into this world in such a hurry.

Thinking of this, Yu Yan regained her energy, she stood up abruptly from the bed, and surprised the maid who was waiting on the side.

"What's your order, Ma'am?"

Yu Yan paused, looked at the still dark window, and said, "It's nothing..." Then she slowly lay back on the bed, and let the palace servants make the bed for her.

'Don't be impatient, she should think about it, why would she want a child herself?What preparations should she make? '

Yu Yu didn't give birth to a baby for the sake of having a baby, nor did she think that when the time came, she should have a baby, and it wasn't because she was lonely and wanted someone to accompany her.

Rather... Yu Yan already has the ability to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother.In fact, Yu Yan was already prepared, but she was still afraid and unwilling to face it.

Yu Xi was full of expectations, but she thought of an extremely important problem, it seemed that she could not give birth to a child by herself.But fortunately, Yu Yan often sees the only fertile man in this palace.

Before that, Yu Xing had to prepare well. First, Yu Xing strengthened his exercise, and then asked people to find a lot of medical skills related to gynecology, and carefully read the knowledge about childbirth from above.

But this child is not said to be pregnant, it can be conceived.As Cheng Concubine's belly gradually became prominent, Yu Yan was almost on fire.

"Your Majesty can't be in a hurry. Anyway, I've been waiting for so many years, why should I care about these two days?"

"Your Majesty, please relax. The more you are like this, the more likely you will not come to send your son off."

"It's not as good as your mother, please invite a Guanyin to send you a son, and worship it every day. It can't be said that the Guanyin is grateful and pious, so I will give you a pair of golden boys and jade girls."

"..."

The nuns in front of Yu Xun took turns persuading her, just to make Yu Xun calm down.

I really can't remember such things as children.In fact, Yu Yan wasn't thinking about it, she was just thinking about why she couldn't get pregnant.Her body is really good. As for a harmonious life, it is really incomparably harmonious, there is no problem at all, but why...

Yu Yan is almost giving up, it doesn't matter if she can't conceive, at least the chance of survival will increase, won't she?

But just when Yu Yan was about to turn from despair to indifference, a turning point appeared again,

One day, a dish of steamed shad was served on Yu Xing's dining table. Yu Xing loves fish very much on weekdays, so he asked someone to pick the meat for her to sting.As soon as Yu Xing put the fresh and smooth shad into his mouth, he felt a stench rushing into his ears and nose.

"vomit……"

Yu Xing's reaction like this was nothing more than thinking that the dish was not cooked well and was withdrawn.But Yu Yu seemed to be unable to eat fish anymore, and sometimes he would habitually feel nauseous whenever he saw fish served on the table.

Even so, Yu Yan's appetite is growing day by day, and he is becoming more energetic.

About two months later, one day I became depressed, and when I touched my lower abdomen, it felt a little hard, as if it was not as soft as before.

'Could it be the muscles? '

Yu Yan was wrong when she thought about it, if she really had muscles, she should have known about it a long time ago, it is impossible to discover it now.

"Mommy, feel my belly to see if it's hard." Thinking about whether there is a tumor, Yu Yan's voice trembled a little.

Nanny Huang, who was arranging Yu Yan's clothes, stretched out her hand and touched it, "Ah! Ma'am, is your waist thicker than before?"

Please forgive Grandma Huang, this is her occupational disease. As a tailor, when I see a person's figure has changed, the first thing I think of is that if the data changes, the clothes must also be changed.

Yu Yan also made gestures, not only did she seem to have a thicker waist, but she also had several rounds of flesh around her body.The meat is a little bit longer, and it is really not obvious. Now after careful comparison, I found the problem.

Several nuns circled around Yu Yan and studied it carefully, and found something was wrong.

"Is it, yes?"

Yu Yan immediately retorted: "My ex, didn't it come back...menstruation..."

Thinking about it, it seemed wrong. Although it came, the amount was very small, and it disappeared after two days intermittently.

Mother Xu said nervously: "Why don't I go to the imperial physician Xuan, just say that I feel unwell occasionally, and then I will mention it a little bit after the imperial physician arrives."

"It shouldn't be...the Ping'an pulse will be requested once every ten days, and I haven't seen the imperial doctor tell me about it." Yu Yan couldn't help doubting himself.

The nuns were also very anxious. If they really did, it would take at least three months. They didn't know anything about the first three months, and they didn't know what happened to the fetus in Yu Yan's womb.Thinking that Yu Yan seemed to have served in bed last month, the nuns were a little bit uncomfortable.

After Sun Ping heard about it, he went to invite the imperial physician himself, and also called two female doctors by the way.

The person invited is an imperial physician who specializes in gynecology.The imperial doctor had a gray beard, but his eyes were clear and hale.

Before coming in to ask for the pulse, Mother Xu tapped a little bit, asking the imperial doctor to take the pulse carefully.

"Also ask the empress to extend the other hand."

The imperial doctor is also having some troubles at the moment, this consultation is about observation, hearing and questioning, and this pulse detection is actually the last step.Looking at the facial features of Concubine Hui, it is definitely a sign of pregnancy, but this pulse...why can't it come out?

"I also ask my mother to forgive me. I wonder if I can let the female doctor feel the abdomen."

"Bold, how can you let a female doctor..."

Yu Yan stretched out his hand and said: "It's okay, please ask the two female doctors to go inside, I'll come later."

"Doctor Zhang..."

Doctor Zhang shook his hand, "The minister is here."

"You might as well give me an accurate statement. If I really don't have this fate, I will admit it."

At any rate, this imperial doctor has studied systematically, and he is still qualified.Those female doctors, in the imperial hospital, only do some decoction and massage, what's the use.
