April, May, and June; I don’t know if those people couldn’t find a chance to start, or they had given up. In these few months, the palace was calm and peaceful, and the child in Xianyue’s belly grew up day by day in such peace.
By the end of June, it was almost nine months old. The fetal movements were less than those at five or six months, but the force was much greater. Sometimes it felt like the belly was about to burst. Hongli often
He said that this child must be a boy because he was so strong when he was still in his mother's womb.
On this day, Yonghuang finished class and handed the book to Changfu, and then said: "Where are the things I asked you to bring?"
"Don't worry, brother, I've brought all the slaves." Changfu said as he handed the trap and cage to Yonghuang.
When Yongxun saw this, he asked curiously: "Brother, what are you going to do?"
"Go catch butterflies." Hearing Yong Huang's answer, the young Yong Xun suddenly became excited, pulling Yong Huang and saying: "I want to go too! Big brother, take me with you."
Yong Huang thought for a while and said: "Okay, but you are not allowed to cause trouble, you know?"
"Definitely not." Yongxun agreed quickly. After walking a few steps, he saw Yongzhang standing aside and watching them, and called out: "Third brother, let's go together."
Yongzhang really wanted to go, but he and Yonghuang had never been very close, and they never talked much, so he never dared to speak. When he heard Yongxun calling him, he looked at Yonghuang and said timidly: "Brother
, can I go?”
Because of Concubine Jia, Yonghuang had always disliked Yongzhang and rarely spoke to him. However, seeing him like this now, he finally couldn't bear it and deliberately said with a straight face: "The Imperial Garden is so big. If you want to go, I
Is there anything you can do, but go over there and help me catch a few more beautiful butterflies."
Yongzhang nodded repeatedly and followed Yonghuang to the Imperial Garden. Today, you can see groups of butterflies flying no more than in spring, but there are still a few flying gracefully on the blooming flowers.
After a long time of hard work, several people finally caught two. Yongxuan wiped his sweat and panted: "It turns out that catching butterflies is so tiring. I thought it was fun."
Yong Zhang looked at the butterflies flying in the cage and asked curiously: "Brother, why do you suddenly like to catch butterflies?"
Yonghuang played with the butterfly in his hand and said: "I don't like it, but my aunt's child is about to be born. I told you that if it is my sister, I will catch a lot of beautiful butterflies for her to play with."
Yongxun tilted his head and said, "But hasn't he come out yet? Why do you need to catch butterflies now?"
Yongzhang replied: "I know, because it will be autumn in a while, and there will be no butterflies to catch."
Yonghuang stared at the butterflies parked on the petals not far away and said, "That's right, so while there are still butterflies, catch a few more."
Yong Zhang nodded, and then asked doubtfully: "But... if I catch him now, will I be able to feed him?"
"I asked the gardener and he said that as long as the temperature is suitable and there are enough flowers for these butterflies to collect nectar, they should be able to keep them for a while. If it doesn't work, there is nothing we can do."
Yong Zhang responded, then smiled and said: "In that case, I will help my eldest brother catch a few more, and treat them as a meeting gift for my sister." With that said, he took the catch and gently moved it to the one that had just been born.
The butterfly that landed on the flower walked away, and Yongxuan went to catch it, shouting: "I want to catch it too, and I also want to give it a gift."
When he shouted like this, the butterfly was frightened and immediately fluttered its wings and flew away. Yongzhang complained: "Look, you scared the butterfly away. How could you shout so loudly?"
Yongxun muttered: "I didn't mean it." After that, he saw the butterfly in another place and was about to scream. Remembering what happened just now, he quickly lowered his voice and said: "Third brother, look, there is something there."
Butterfly."
Yongzhang crouched and whispered: "Okay, follow me there, remember, don't make any noise."
Yong Huang couldn't stop laughing when he saw the two of them. That day, they kept catching butterflies in the imperial garden until noon before going back. They had already caught six or seven butterflies in the cage, flying up and down. They were so beautiful.
When Yong Huang was about to leave, Yong Zhang whispered: "Brother, will you come to arrest me tomorrow?"
Yong Huang knew what he meant and said: "There are only a few of them, of course we have to catch them. You and Yong Xun are not allowed to be lazy."
Hearing this, Yong Zhang said happily: "Absolutely not. I will also bring one to catch tomorrow, so that we can catch more."
Yong Huang smiled and said: "Okay, go back quickly, I will take these to the flower room."
Returning to Yonghe Palace, Jin was planning to send people to find Yongzhang. Concubine Yu was also there. When she saw him coming in, Jin was relieved and scolded: "Why did you come back so late today? But let me
I’m so worried.”
Yongzhang lowered his eyes and said, "Please forgive me, Mother, I forgot the time while catching butterflies."
Jin said in surprise: "Why did you think of catching butterflies?"
Yongzhang immediately explained what had happened, and then said: "Mother, I would like to go to the Royal Garden to catch butterflies with my eldest brother, fourth brother and the others tomorrow. Is that okay?"
"The fourth elder brother, the eldest elder brother and the others have always..." Kang Delu had just finished speaking when Concubine Yu stopped him. "The fourth elder brother and the eldest elder brother are brothers. It's natural to play together. Concubine Yu, don't you think so?
?”
Jin glanced at Concubine Yu doubtfully, and after seeing the look in her eyes, she said to Yongzhang: "As long as you like it, just go."
Yongzhang said happily: "Thank you so much, E Niang. You are so kind, E Niang."
Jin smiled and said: "Okay, go and have your meal quickly. If it feels cold, ask someone to take it to the kitchen to heat it up."
After Yongzhang went down, Jin said: "Concubine Yu, what do you mean by what you just said? Don't forget, the eldest brother is the adopted son of Concubine Xian."
Concubine Yu flipped the agate pendant under her ear and said nonchalantly: "How could I forget such a thing? But...haven't we been looking for an opportunity to deal with Concubine Xian? Perhaps, this is an excellent opportunity.
.”
Jin asked doubtfully: "Opportunity? Where do you start talking about this?"
Concubine Yu smiled and said, "Are butterflies beautiful?"
Jin said casually: "Nature is beautiful, but what does this have to do with our dealing with Concubine Xian? Could this butterfly still kill her?"
Concubine Yu caressed her skirt and said with a faint smile: "The more beautiful things are, the more deadly they are!"
Yongzhang didn't know that what he said casually had turned into a terrible conspiracy. He was very happy to play with Yonghuang and the others. In the next few days, he helped catch many butterflies, which made Yongzhang very happy.
Huang was very happy and sent them all to the flower house, where there were flowers cultivated all year round, which was enough to ensure that the butterflies would not starve to death.
