[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 8 mourning the death of 7

The Beiyuan of the East Palace is actually a part of the Yichun Palace in the East Palace. It is a palace courtyard where the concubines of His Royal Highness live. Its function is the same as that of the Taiji Palace.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng are currently living in the east of Beiyuan. Mrs. Wang didn't treat them harshly, and allocated a small courtyard for each of them, and assigned two palace servants to serve them.

Mrs. Liu is an honest person, introverted and even a bit dull, and her beauty is not as good as Mrs. Zheng's. Although she gave birth to the eldest son of Li Zhi, she is not arrogant because of it, and she does not deliberately cater to Mrs. Wang like Mrs. Zheng.

In the beginning, the two were sent to Qianqiu Palace at the same time, and they became pregnant one after another, and they also had a mistress from an aristocratic family. They were supposed to have the same fate, but who knew that one gave birth to a son, and the other gave birth to a daughter...

That's how the gap came about...

As soon as Dalang was born, he was valued by the entire Taiji Palace. Even the saints solemnly celebrated the full moon for him. Not only did he give him his name, but he also feasted with all the officials to amnesty the world...

But the aunt has not even chosen a name...

It is conceivable that Zheng's heart is not balanced.

But the next development caught the East Palace people by surprise...

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't take much notice of the eldest son who was much-anticipated. He visited Dalang once a day like a routine, and then spent all his limited free time teasing his daughter, and even gave her a nickname of "Sister"...

This is not only because Li Zhi prefers his daughter, but Zheng's eloquence and flattery are also indispensable.

Those who can be sent to the East Palace are all human beings. Just looking at Li Zhi's closeness to the two children and their temperament with Liu Zheng, he can immediately judge who he should show his favor to.

Mrs. Liu became more cautious when encountering ups and downs at first.

The news that Li Zhi was coming today spread to Liu's courtyard, but she still couldn't believe it.

To be honest, Liu Shi and Li Zhi only got close once or twice, and then she became pregnant like Zheng Shi, and the number of times the two met was very few.

Even after giving birth to Li Zhi's eldest son, Li Zhi never talked to Da Lang alone when he visited her...

Today, Wei Shangyi from the Lizheng Hall made a special trip to prepare her to be summoned by the prince, Liu was both surprised and delighted.

Everyone said that the crown prince was a gentle and generous person, but Mrs. Liu was inexplicably afraid of him.

She knew that her appearance and temperament did not please Li Zhi, and she did not dare to have extravagant hopes, but after all, Dalang gave birth to a child through hard work, and his future depends entirely on the prince. If you don't like it, Liu really can't imagine the consequences...

Therefore, although Mrs. Liu didn't have any "progressive" intentions, she still had the idea of ​​letting Li Zhi be intimate with Da Lang. For this reason, Mrs. Liu specially changed Da Lang into a festive swaddle, hoping that Li Zhi would like it...

When Li Zhi came, Mrs. Liu was patting the child to put him to sleep.

Liu looked at her child intently, her eyes were full of love, as if she couldn't see or hear anything...

Li Zhi couldn't help being stunned when he saw this scene, and he waved his hands not to let the servants in the palace report, so as not to frighten Liu Shi and the children.

In the end, it was Liu who raised her head inadvertently, only to realize that Li Zhi had arrived, and she hurriedly got up to salute.

"Meet my lord..."

"There's no need to be too polite..." Li Zhi raised his hand to help Liu Shi, and asked her to sit back where she was.

Mrs. Liu was overwhelmed by the flattery, so she dared not sit still. Seeing that Li Zhi was going up to check on Da Lang, she hurriedly said, "Da Lang is sleepy, sir, don't be offended..."

Seeing that Da Lang was wrapped like a red envelope, Li Zhi couldn't help but let out a 'huh', stepped forward to remove the swaddling clothes, and couldn't help being embarrassed.

It turned out that Dalang of the Li family was sleeping soundly with his finger in his mouth at this time. Interestingly, the boy Dalang blew a huge bubble on his nose, which grew bigger and smaller with his breathing. It looked very interesting!

Li Zhi couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his hand to hug the baby, how awkward that posture was...

Mrs. Liu was terrified as she watched from the sidelines, but she didn't dare to speak out, for fear that Li Zhi's hand would shake and the baby would be dropped.

However, Li Zhi seemed to have found an interesting toy, holding Da Lang in his arms, poking his tender face to play, and then poking Da Lang's kid awake with joy...

"Wow~~~~~~~~" Dalang kid howled earth-shatteringly, the volume was much louder than his sister.

Li Zhi was really taken aback, his hands shook, and he knocked the baby up a few times, but at least he didn't drop the baby.

Liu Shi and Wei Shangyi watched from behind, both sweating.

"Jiulang, let Ah Liu hug Dalang..." Wei Shangyi stepped forward and said to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi twisted his arms and legs and turned around with his swaddled baby on his back. Just as he was about to say that he wanted to hold him for a while longer, he suddenly felt a heat in his hand...

"Oops..." Wei Shangyi hurriedly took the child from Li Zhi's hands, "Jiulang let go, Dalang pissed..."

Liu looked at her at a loss, and was afraid that Li Zhi would get angry, so she panicked and said, "Don't be angry, Da Lang is still young, so he didn't mean it..."

Li Zhi stared blankly at the liquid in his hand, not knowing what to say.

Seeing Liu Shi's sincere and fearful expression again, he no longer has the mind to tease the child.

"That's all..." Li Zhi waved his hand, telling Liu Shi to just take care of Da Lang.

The courtiers had already prepared warm water cloth towels and sent them to serve Li Zhijing.

While cleaning his hands, Li Zhi watched Wei Shangyi and Liu Shi changing diapers and washing the buttocks of Dalang's children, feeling curious and interesting at the same time.

Very soon, Li Zhi found out that the two palace servants of the Liu family had not helped the Liu family to take care of the children, but squeezed himself in front of him to show courteousness, and he suddenly became a little displeased...

At this time, Xiao Shunzi, who stayed outside the door, ran in to report: "Prince, the princess is here..."

Li Zhi frowned when he heard this.

================================ Wu Xiaoxu dividing line ================== =============

Knowing that the big aunt's incident was purely a misunderstanding, Wu Xu felt relieved.

It just so happened that because sister Xu was pregnant, His Majesty the Emperor allowed her mother, sister He, to visit her in the palace.

When Wu Xu came to Caisiyuan, he happened to meet Xu's mother and Xu Xiaomei.

Xu's mother is about forty years old, with a quiet demeanor and a gentle voice. At first glance, she is a beautiful aunt with culture and temperament.

And Xu Xiaomei is only 12 years old this year, she is slightly taller than Li Mingda, she also wears a double-ringed bun, her face is round, and although her facial features have not yet grown, she looks like Xu Hui who is younger...

When Wu Xu saw Xu Xiaomei, she remembered the first time she saw Xu Hui. She liked this little girl so much that she immediately took off the golden cicada on her head as a gift for her.

"Talented, such a valuable thing..." Xu's mother had long been coaxed by Wu Xu's rhetoric, and now seeing her spending so much money, she wanted to stop her.

But Xu Hui smiled and said, "Don't pay attention to her, Ma'am, she has a lot of good things..." Saying that, she let Xu Xiaomei sit next to Wu Xu.

Xu Xiaomei accepted Wu Xu's meeting gift generously, and thanked her with a blushing face.

Seeing that the little girl was straightforward, Wu Xu liked her more and more, and started to play tricks on her by putting her arms around her.

"Your sister is my sister, so are you also my sister?"

Xu Xiaomei thought for a while, nodded, and shouted crisply: "Sister Ah Wu..."

"Short oil~~~~" Wu Xu almost had a nosebleed from the cute loli voice, turned to Mama Xu and said, "Madam is really blessed, such a cute little lady gave birth to your family..."

Xu's mother was coaxed by classmate Xiao Wu to smile, and said modestly: "You are too talented... Er Niang is very naughty!"

"Aniang~~~~~~~" Xu Xiaomei threw herself on Mama Xu in reluctance, and buried her head in her arms.

Xu's mother wiped Xu Xiaomei very lovingly.

Wu Xu was so greedy, she had no choice but to run to Xiao Xu's side, hugged her and said, "Alas, Madam won't like us if she has a second mother..."

Xu Hui patted Wu Xu with a smile, and said, "If you are envious, you should conceive a prince for the saint as soon as possible..." After finishing speaking, Xu Hui knew something was wrong, and quickly kept silent.

Wu Xu was only taken aback when she heard the words, but she didn't care much.

"I've been in the palace for so many years, and I don't know what's going on with Auntie and the others..." At that time, she also knew some bits and pieces of the deity's condition from other people's mouths.Dad was just a state official, and Wu Xu died before he came here.The old lady Yang is the stepmother, she has only three daughters under her knees, so she has no inheritance rights, and the ex-wife of the dead ghost has two sons...

You understand the grievances between the stepson and the stepmother.

Wu Xu also knew something from Concubine Yan that her two half-brothers were very rude to Yang's mother and daughter.

And the reason why the deity will enter the palace is also the idea of ​​changing his destiny by fighting.

But it's a pity that His Majesty Li Er didn't like Xiao Wu himself very much, and Xiao Wu's dream of rising to the top was basically shattered.And after Wu Xu arrived, she didn't try to get in touch with Yang Shi and the others for various reasons, so now she doesn't know where Yang Shi and the others are and how they are doing...

"Cairen's mother is the Yang family of Hongnong? Is the aunt married to the Helan family?" Mama Xu suddenly thought that there was a Mrs. Yang in Chang'an's circle of ladies.

The Yang family of Hongnong was the noble surname of Guanlong, and it was also a well-known noble family at that time. Most of the clan members belonged to the clan of the former dynasty.

Wu Xu didn't know if the deity's mother was this Yang family, but she remembered that when she first met Concubine Yan De, Concubine Yan had mentioned to her that her deity's elder sister had just married the Helan family, and her widowed mother and young My younger sisters have settled down in Chang'an, and I have to rely on...

"So Madam knows my mother, so I don't know how they are?" Wu Xu is completely unfamiliar with the Yang family and the so-called Aunt Wu and Sanniang Wu, but she can't show complete indifference...

"Mrs. Yang is a refreshing person..." Mother Xu has a good impression of Yang. After all, Yang was born from a noble family, and she is quite as smart and capable as women in the Northern Dynasty. Not only is she bright and charming, she is also very funny and talkative.In addition, Yang is well-known for both literary and military skills. She is quite good at poetry, calligraphy and painting, and also likes to hunt on horseback. The only shortcoming is probably that she is not good at needlework - in this attribute, Yang is definitely the mother of classmate Xiao Wu.

Wu Xu was dumbfounded when she heard Xu's mother's science popularization: I never thought that she would have such a tough mother-in-law? !
