The name of the little prince was soon decided. The Great Zhou Dynasty has always respected water, and often said: "The people's hearts are like water, which can both carry and overturn a boat. www." Therefore, the name of the prince follows the water department as usual, and is named
"Yu Han". The title of Xiao Di Ji was easy to choose, but she just chose an auspicious and beautiful word. However, Xuan Ling knew that Wu Yue had not been raised by my side since she was a child, and felt that she was indebted to her as a daughter, so she asked me to choose one myself.
The titles chosen by the Ministry of Rites were "Ronghui", "Xianyi", "Shangxian" and "Huijing".
I kept these four after careful consideration, which one do you like best?"
At that time, I was able to stand up. I was standing by the cradle wearing a light red gown, smiling at a pair of children. I took a small rattle to play with them and said: "The words naturally chosen by the Ministry of Rites are all put together."
Same."
Di Ji was quiet, only looking at the rattle curiously, her eyes rolling. But Yu Han was different. The little brother really wanted to grab it with his hands, he looked very lively and cute. I looked at Yu Han, and felt relieved in my heart. This child
A pair of eyes are as round as black ink balls, without any special color.
I smiled lovingly and said: "Di Ji has a calm temperament, but our prince is probably naughty."
"It's just right to move and be still. I think it would be better for the prince to be more lively and cheerful. I think of Yu Li who is always old-fashioned and lifeless. When he sees me, he is like a mouse seeing a cat."
I looked back and pretended to be angry: "Your Majesty just wants to be a strict father. I don't blame the children for being afraid."
"Then I promise you to just be a loving father in front of them." He smiled: "You should also think about it seriously and choose a name for our Emperor Ji."
How could I bear to look away at these two children and just said: "Which one does the emperor like?"
"I think the word "Shangxian" is very good."
"Shangxian Emperor Ji?" I muttered it several times, turned around and said with a smile: "Huijing is pretty good too. It's just..."
He smiled and took my hand, holding me on his lap, "Just what?"
I rubbed my forehead and said with a sweet smile: "The title set by the Ministry of Rites is nothing more than this. No matter how good it is, how much better can it be?"
Xuan Ling read each one a few times and laughed uncontrollably, "Exalted Immortal? Isn't our emperor's concubine as good as an immortal? Everyone in the Ministry of Rites is a rotten scholar. It's really sour."
I sighed deliberately, "Zuo is just an imperial concubine. She doesn't matter what her name is, as long as she can make a living."
Xuan Ling put his head against my forehead, "You are such a naughty girl, you clearly love little Di Ji so much, but you still use slanderous words to silence me." He kissed my cheek and said softly: "
We can just name our own children, and you can think of a good one."
The moon-white milky smoke satin beaded embroidered shoes gently touched a pot of crimson autumn rhododendrons on the ground. "The emperor gave Han'er a very good name. Han is Shen Yang. I hope this child will know how to tolerate all rivers in the future and be tolerant."
It means great things.”
Xuan Ling was quite pleased and said proudly: "I spent five or six days working on the name of our prince before settling on this name. It encompasses everything. I hope this child can live up to my expectations."
After that, he leaned over and teased Yu Han lovingly.
My heart suddenly tightened. I vaguely guessed Xuan Ling's thoughts, but I couldn't say much. I just lowered my head and caressed Di Ji's delicate little face. Maybe it was on purpose. My eyes were swollen and I saw these two
The children's facial features are quite similar to their father's, they are all so pure and gentle, with pure eyes.
I couldn't help but smile sweetly and said in a low voice: "I don't have the wings of a colorful phoenix, but I have a clear mind. Is it okay for the emperor's title to be called 'Lingxi'?"
"Lingxi? Lingxi!" He read aloud several times, then suddenly picked up the little Emperor Ji in the cradle and held it up high, laughing and said: "I have been in harmony with you for ten years, and our daughter will be named Lingxi Emperor Ji."
Xuan Ling was so happy that the blood-like maple color outside the window reflected an even more rosy color on his cheeks. Although the government was busy in recent years, he also played with beautiful women every night. In addition, due to the accidental eating of Wu Shi Powder in the previous years, he was so happy in the past.
Nian Ying's tall face often has a tired and pale shadow. I am almost in a trance. It seems that he really loves these two children these days. How could he not love them? I really thought they were his children.
It was the prince and the emperor he had been waiting for for a long time, the dragon and phoenix twins who were auspicious.
An almost unknown, cold fear suddenly filled my heart. What if...he knew that these children were not his? I almost subconsciously tightened my grip and suppressed this fear. No! There is never an if!
This will always be a secret.
The autumn light is getting colder, and even the lingering coolness blown by the wind carries the bitter scent of chrysanthemums. The hall is as quiet as a pool of transparent autumn water, and the time is as silent as the wings of a bird, gradually shrinking and becoming quiet. Everyone in the palace is watching.
Outside the hall, only the Huanbi servant stood under the crocodile gauze curtain, lowering his head and playing with the lily incense in the large gilded copper cauldron. The weather was clear, and the smoke in the hall was constantly floating, and even the scene in front of him was cast with a different kind of soft atmosphere.
Seeing Xuan Ling hugging Lingxi for a while, Huanbi came forward with a smile and said, "Your Majesty is tired of hugging Lingxi. Please leave it to your servant." Huanbi was dressed in lotus green clothes and had a graceful figure. The hairpins on the temples were half-opened.
The autumn azalea with pistils made her beautiful face as white as jade and delicate as lotus petals more apparent. Xuan Ling handed Lingxi into her hands and couldn't help but take a second look and said: "This girl has been following you for many years.
He does look a bit like you."
I leaned on the beauty's couch, hugged a soft pillow made of ten-scented flowers, and said with a chuckle: "The emperor said this many years ago, saying that Huanbi's eyes look like those of his concubine."
Xuan Ling chuckled, looked at Huanbi's retreating figure and said, "I used to be just a pretty girl. Even though I have eyes like yours, I was still a girl who only wore red and green. Now I'm older.
, I am somewhat similar to you in terms of charm."
I just leaned on the pillow and looked at Xuan Ling with a half-smile and said, "What's wrong with the Emperor today? He praises a concubine and a maid like this without saying anything. It's a joke."
Xuan Ling laughed, rubbed my shoulders and said: "I am a mother, but I am stingy. If she were not your personal maid, I might not be willing to say these words - it's just that I saw Huanbi and thought of Longyue.
Come on, that kid is getting bigger and bigger, and he looks a bit like you."
I held up a white jade hairpin that was about to fall into her bun, and said, "Actually, Longyue looks more like the emperor, and is not very similar to my concubine."
Xuan Ling stared at me, and his voice was as soft as newly bloomed white cotton, "Longyue's chin is very similar to yours, with a hint of arrogance."
There was a slight pain in my heart. This child, Longyue - I said slowly: "Longyue is a proud daughter of heaven. She grew up under the care of the concubine Jing. It is natural for her to be somewhat arrogant, but I, the concubine, ask myself...
No pride."
Xuan Ling's fingers circled the few strands of hair scattered around my neck, with a gentle gesture, "You mother and daughter are both arrogant. Longyue's arrogance is because she is the apple of my eye. But you are arrogant because of your pride.
, Sometimes, I really love and hate your arrogance, and there is nothing I can do about it."
His words were so sincere that I felt sad and lay on his shoulders. On his sleeves, there was still the faint smell of ambergris. After smelling it for a long time, it seemed that I was still in the old days.
Those years when I entered Ziao City were so intoxicating that I felt so sad. I suddenly looked up and saw a beautiful red maple tree outside the smoky white window screen, like weeping blood. The scene of the year I left the palace pierced my heart like a cone.
I couldn't bear to think about it, so I bit Xuan Ling on the shoulder. When I faced him, I already had a tender and angry look on my face, "I wish I could bite the emperor hard to satisfy my hatred."
Instead of being angry, he smiled, his expression became more tender and affectionate, and he gently stroked my hair and said: "I really feel sorry for you. Now you have three children. Except for the temporary care of the concubine, the new couple
I'm afraid I'll make you too busy." He paused, "That's why I'm in a dilemma. You and Longyue are closely related by flesh and blood. If you were always raised by Concubine Jing, I'm afraid your relationship as mother and daughter would be very estranged. But what if?
Take them back to Rouyi Hall and take them yourself. Firstly, these two children are enough for you to worry about. Secondly, Longyue and Concubine Jing have the same affection as mother and daughter. If they are separated for life, Longyue will cry and be angry, but Concubine Jing will also be sad.
Come on..." His voice gradually became softer, revealing infinite doting, "This is the most important thing, I also want to give Han'er another younger brother."
I chuckled, turned around and said: "Although there are not three thousand beauties in the emperor's harem, there are still hundreds. Are you afraid that no one will give Han'er many brothers? If nothing else, Shen Shuyuan is about to give birth right now.
He is the one who is born. Sister Mei is blessed with profound blessings and will definitely be able to give birth to a son for the emperor."
Xuan Ling hugged me tighter, and his sighs were like smiles falling on his ears, a little cooler and a little warmer, "I only want our child."
I was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to agree. After a long time, Fang Qingruo said silently: "It's just Longyue..." I looked up and saw Xuan Ling's eyes as dark as the night, reflecting my concubine's beautiful and beautiful clothes.
There seemed to be a touch of black gold flowing around. I knew that he was in a difficult situation no less than me. Wuyue was the most favored among the emperors and queens by Xuan Ling, and he would never let her be wronged, nor would he make me sad.
And I have another layer of uneasiness in my heart, which is piled like a pile of eggs. Concubine Jing... I pondered slightly, lowered my head and leaned against him, "Longyue is always my concubine's daughter!"
He nodded, "That's right. She is your daughter after all." He paused, "Let's wait until Haoyue grows up."
The emperor's concubine took the nickname "Lingxi", and Xuan Ling gave her a small character, called "Yun Huan". I also liked it quite a lot, smiled at Xuan Ling and said: "With Xie Daoyun's talent of singing xu, you can win the world of joy."
, Your Majesty’s pain in Lingxi is so painful that it goes to your bones.”
Xuan Ling smiled and hugged me, "Lingxi's mother-in-law is the most talented girl in my harem. How can a daughter be too inferior? It is not an exaggeration to compare her to Xie Daoyun."
I smiled to shame his face and said, "Your Majesty is so self-proclaimed that he really spoils Yun Huan." After a while, he started to sew the Bai Nie clothes. The rags used to sew the Bai Nie clothes were all brought by Jin Xi to poor people.
It was collected from one family after another, and it was steamed and exposed three times with Huanbi. It was never faked by anyone else. It is said by popular opinion that babies wearing white clothes can grow up safely and are immune to all poisons. This also means that they want to be well fed. I said
: "How can I ask for anything more than a high-ranking heroine? I just hope that Yun Huan can marry safely and become a married woman."
Xuan Ling smiled and said: "This wish is really easy. Is my daughter still afraid that she won't be able to marry a good consort? Just wait for me to choose the one she likes for Lingxi in the future."
I chuckled and spat, "The child can't even speak, and the emperor is only thinking about choosing a son-in-law in Fengtai."
Xuan Ling stroked Lingxi's little face and said, "Don't you know that parents have far-reaching plans for loving their children. Of course, the prince must be disciplined strictly. As for the emperor, I am just an ordinary father."
Xuan Ling's words were plain and sincere. I unconsciously stopped my needlework and looked at him slowly, as if otherwise, I could not calm down my complicated thoughts at the moment. For a long time, he looked at me like this, his eyes deep and clear.
It’s not that I’m not unmoved. It seems that in those years, the spring in Tangli Palace was as deep as the sea, and the intoxicating sweetness seemed to be able to drown the whole person. At that time, we were both still young. I smiled slightly and stood up to hold his hand.
Holding his hand, he said warmly: "It's not good to stay bored in the house all the time. It's sunny and crisp outside. Let's go see Sister Mei."
Xuan Ling took my hand, took a Yun Jinlei beaded cloak from the red sandalwood stand, put it on my shoulders, and walked out together.
