Ajiu

Chapter 155 Happy Pregnancy Life
In the evening, the young couple washed up early and went to bed, hugging each other and chatting quietly, thinking about the bright future, having a great time.

"Junior sister, will we have a smart and lovely son?"

"Well, it should be. It's not easy to have a daughter, Brother Ten, my family's Feng Shui is like this."

The imperial physician hadn't confirmed whether she was really pregnant, and the young couple had already seriously discussed the sex of the baby.

Empress Zhang suffered a loss in front of Xiao Shi and Ajiu. She was listless and didn't pay much attention to the East Palace.The emperor is really a loving father, and fresh fruits, delicacies, etc. are continuously sent to the East Palace. "Ajiu likes delicious food, so I must let her eat it." The crown prince became more and more suspicious of what the emperor's father knew, "little sister , should we confess? Daddy will be angry if he knows we're hiding it from him." Ajiu comforted him kindly: "Brother Ten, we're not sure yet, so I'll tell Daddy rashly. I'm sorry. If we really have a happy event, then our father will be more expensive than his son, and our mother will be more expensive than his mother. Not only will father not blame us, but he will reward us."

The crown prince felt that it was reasonable, "Little sister is right." If there is, father will only care about being happy at that time, why would he want to be scolded and punished?
The magic operator Ajiu, this time the prediction is extremely accurate again.Sure enough, when the imperial physician reported to the emperor in a firm tone, "The crown princess is more than two months pregnant", the emperor was elated, not only did not scold the crown prince for hiding it from him, but also praised the crown prince severely, "Married It didn't take long to get good news, Xiao Shi is doing well!" The Crown Prince was praised both ashamed and happy, floating as if in the clouds.

Two rows of servants and palace servants walked towards the East Palace with rare antiques and medicinal supplements bestowed on the princess by the emperor, winding like two long dragons.The people in front had already entered the Ciqing Palace, and the people behind were still lined up far outside the palace gate, "Your Majesty, have you moved half of the storehouse to the East Palace?" Seeing this posture, everyone smashed their tongues .

At the beginning, Ajiu, a little money fan, looked at the treasures brought in by the maids one by one, "It's brilliant, so beautiful", "It's dazzling, baby", "It's rich, it's rich!" Ajiu smiled happily.However, there were so many rewards that she didn't even bother to read them later, so she directly ordered the female officer to register and store them in the warehouse, "I'll see it another day when I'm bored."

The Crown Prince came back in a daze, "Little Junior Sister, Dad really didn't blame me, and even praised me." Ajiu smiled at Mimi, "Look, my divination is right? Brother Ten, we won't be scolded , and there will be rewards." The young couple laughed at each other, and couldn't find their way out of joy.

Knowing that Ajiu was pregnant, the emperor and queen Zhang were overjoyed.The difference is that the emperor rewarded things, and Empress Zhang rewarded people; the emperor gave a large number of treasures and supplements, and Empress Zhang gave them to two seasoned Fu Mu and two beautiful court ladies, "Mother Zhen and Mother Jia served The concubines are extremely proficient in giving birth. The crown princess heard them right. These two court ladies, one picking pearls and the other picking jade, have good births and gentle temperaments. Let's give them to the crown princess together. .”

Dare to send two old ladies to take care of me, and send two beauties to snatch brother ten. Is this the treatment for pregnant women?Ajiu was speechless.

"Brother Ten, my heart hurts." Ajiu didn't respond to her first pregnancy, but when she saw Mother Zhen and Mother Jia sent by Empress Zhang smiling and gesticulating, they picked pearls and jade in a graceful manner, from time to time Peeking at the crown prince, my heart hurts.As soon as she said that her heart hurts, the crown prince panicked, "Call the imperial physician quickly!" He ordered the imperial physician to be summoned, and at the same time ordered to drive all the mothers Zhen and Jia mothers to the yard, and they were not allowed to be in the imperial concubine's house. An eyesore.

It was getting colder and the wind was blowing in the yard. The originally reserved and noble Mother Zhen, Mother Jia, and others shrank in the wind, looking quite pitiful.Not to mention Mother Zhen and Mother Jia, people are middle-aged, a little fat, and they are more resistant to cold, but they are elegant girls who pick pearls and jade, how can they tolerate frost and cold?Lips are blue.

"I'm just annoyed by looking at them. I'll be fine when they leave." Ajiu muttered softly.

The crown prince saw her acting like a little girl, and laughed softly, "Little junior sister is pregnant with a child, and she looks like a child herself." Ajiu was embarrassed, and pink rose on her delicate face. Xia, "Who looks like a child, who looks like a child!" Angrily, she disagreed with the crown prince and hit him with her small fist.

"It's me, I'm like a child." The crown prince grabbed her hand, smiling flatteringly and peacefully.

"Of course it's you, could it be me? I'm about to have a baby, how can I still be a child? In that case, wouldn't it be the child who wants to have a child?" Ajiu was very proud.

After the imperial doctor came, he took the pulse carefully, with a puzzled look on his face, "According to the pulse of the crown princess, my heart shouldn't hurt." Chu He looked at the look of the imperial physician, and said with a smile: "If the crown princess meets If something goes wrong, your heart will hurt. Dare I ask the imperial doctor, is this illness serious?" The imperial doctor hurriedly said: "It's okay, just take two medicines for recuperation. But, in the future, don't make the princess angry again Alright." Chu He pursed her lips and smiled, "Yes, don't make the Crown Princess angry."

The imperial physician wrote the prescription, and the female officer in charge of medicine personally watched the maids fry the medicine and brought it up.Ajiu is not sick, why would she drink the bitter potion?Fooled the female officer in charge of medicine away, let Chuhe pour the medicine into the flower pot, "I'm in good health, I don't need to drink this. The concierge grandfather said that although my fists and embroidered legs are useless, it is enough to keep fit." Why do I dare Having a baby at 16?I have a good body.

The imperial physician was summoned by the East Palace, but this matter could not be hidden from the emperor.The emperor first sent the imperial physician in to ask questions, and then ordered someone to summon the crown prince, "Xiao Shi, what's going on?" There is Fu Mu in the East Palace, who understands the rules and is obedient. The two of us are very comfortable with it. The queen mother has deviated from the two nuns to tell us what to do. Ajiu is angry. Those two nuns And with two flirtatious maids, I don't know what they are here for."

Speaking of which, it's really normal for Queen Zhang, a mother-in-law, to reward her daughter-in-law, mother-in-law, and maid of honor, and it's nothing serious.But the emperor hoped that the crown prince would give birth to his grandson as soon as possible like the stars and the moon. In his eyes, Queen Zhang's behavior became unkind, ignorant of the general situation, knowing that his daughter-in-law was pregnant and deliberately making things difficult , "Deliberately make things difficult for me." The emperor was angry.

"Xiao Shi go back and drive the people who are not pleasing to Ah Jiu to a secluded place, and don't pay attention to them." The emperor ordered briefly.

"Yes, Father." The Crown Prince obediently agreed.

"You only have two serious things now, one is government affairs, and the other is to accompany Ajiu so that she can give birth to Lin'er safely. You don't have to worry about the rest, father has his own reasons." The Emperor The tone is firm and non-negotiable.

"Yes, father." The crown prince agreed even more happily.

The crown prince saluted and said goodbye, the emperor looked at his handsome back and smiled slightly.Xiao Shi is pure in nature, but it's a pity that he was brought up as a prince when he was a child. When he has a grandson of the emperor, he was raised as a prince from a young age. What kind of demeanor will he be when he grows up?Of course, he is talented, wise and powerful, with extraordinary equipment, and he has swallowed mountains and rivers with arrogance.

The emperor seems to have foreseen that a generation of wise emperors who have been praised through the ages will soon be born.

The emperor will naturally clear up the obstacles before the birth of the "Master of a Generation".

"My daughter-in-law is pregnant, are you happy as a mother-in-law?" The emperor summoned Queen Zhang and asked her slowly.

Empress Zhang smiled, "I am very happy. Your Majesty, Xiao Shi is going to be a father, so I am naturally very happy."

"That's it." The emperor nodded, "What are you most looking forward to right now?"

The emperor was very gentle today, and Empress Zhang was taken aback when she heard his question.What is the thing you most look forward to?It's impossible for the boss to become the prince again, and still be brotherly and friendly with Xiao Shi.Xiao Shi's position as the crown prince has been stabilized, and now when people mention the crown prince, they will think of the handsome and handsome Xiao Shi, the boss has long been forgotten by the world. "What else can the concubine hope for? It's just that the children are safe and Xiaoshi is filial." Queen Zhang said bitterly.

The emperor's eyes turned cold, and Empress Zhang couldn't help being startled.Did you say something wrong?No.What's wrong with a mother who wants her children to be safe? Isn't it natural to want Xiao Shi to be filial?

The emperor's face was livid, and he slapped the table heavily.Empress Zhang hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, "I'm confused, I'm afraid." The emperor looked at her coldly for a while, then suddenly put his hand up his face, and asked, "I'm old, don't you know? I've been looking forward to it Don't you know that you can see the birth of the emperor's grandson in your lifetime and personally raise him up? What I hope most now is that the crown princess can give birth to Lin'er safely, don't you know?"

The emperor was already imposing, and this series of questions hit her head and face, and Empress Zhang was even more frightened, stammering and saying: "Your Majesty, concubine, concubine is also looking forward to, looking forward to the Crown Princess, giving birth to Lin'er safely..."

She didn't lie, of course she also hoped that Ah Jiu would give birth to the child smoothly.However, the last time she gave birth was 18 years ago. She has long forgotten the pain and hardship of having a child.When it comes to having a child, she will be very disdainful: What is a great thing to have a child? Which woman can't have a child?

"If you really hope that the crown princess will give birth to Lin'er safely, then you should calm down." The emperor's voice contained anger, "From today onwards, whether you want to or not, pretend to be a loving mother-in-law." Come on! Be kind to Ajiu, be tolerant, don't be picky, don't bully, and don't send people to the East Palace without my permission!"

Queen Zhang almost died of anger.Which woman in the world can't get pregnant and can't have a baby? Why is Ajiu so delicate once she gets pregnant?The mother-in-law rewarded her a few people, causing His Majesty the emperor to be so angry!As for what.

Empress Zhang didn't dare to argue with the emperor, so she agreed aggrievedly, "My concubine obeys the order." The emperor raised his hands and said in a deep voice: "If it wasn't for Xiao Shi's sake, I would have deposed you long ago! Mrs. Zhang, you Do you understand?" The emperor's eyes were cold, and Empress Zhang shivered, "Yes, I understand, I understand." She looked flustered and spoke incoherently.

The emperor roughly pulled Empress Zhang closer to him, and said a few words in a low, gloomy voice.Empress Zhang was so heartbroken that she sat powerlessly on the ground.

After this day, Empress Zhang never sent anyone to the East Palace, nor interfered with the affairs of the East Palace, and she was very lenient and tolerant towards Ajiu.For a while, the crown prince and princess couldn't believe it, "It's so good." After a long time, they got used to it.

Of course, this is a follow-up.

After Ajiu became pregnant, she was paid more attention than before, and even the crown prince's status was greatly improved.Second Master Pei has always been gentle and polite, but now he is more considerate and caring, which greatly moved the crown prince.There was a smile on Pei Ge's face, and he would ask for warmth, and the crown prince was flattered, "Little sister, today my grandfather asked me how I was eating and how I was sleeping. This has never happened before." Ajiu patted him kindly, " I've said it before, Brother Ten, father is more valuable than son."

The emperor allowed the female members of the Pei family to come to the palace to accompany Ajiu often, "Your grandmother, mother, and your sisters-in-law, come to the palace to talk with you, so you don't get bored." Ajiu smiled flatteringly at the emperor, and took the opportunity to ask, " Plus, how is the Lin family? My grandmother, aunt, and cousins ​​are also very close to me." The emperor was happy to do this favor, and agreed cheerfully.

From then on, Ajiu began to live a happy pregnancy life accompanied by her relatives during the day and accompanied by the crown prince at night.Grandmother and grandmother, eldest aunt, mother, third aunt, first aunt and second aunt, sisters-in-law, cousins, and the female relatives of Pei and Lin took turns entering and leaving the East Palace. Ah Jiu was not lonely.

Lin Youhui came to see Ajiu with Wenya, and explained a lot of things to be careful about. Ajiu listened with a big head, "Mother, tell the female officer and Chuhe to reload, let them write it down..." Seeing Lin Youhui stare at her , hastened to promise with a good attitude, "I will do it, I will do it! Meticulous, I will do it all!"

Wen Ya pursed her lips and smiled beside her.

Ajiu deliberately interrupted, "How is little nephew? Mother, when little nephew grows up, you can carry him into the palace and let me, an aunt, feast my eyes." While speaking, she winked at Wen Ya.Wen Ya knew what she meant, so she smiled generously, "I haven't moved yet." Ajiu beckoned her to come over, and smirked in her ear, "Wen Ya, you got married earlier than me, why haven't you moved yet? Could it be..." She looked at Wen Ya meaningfully, and said a thousand words, all in silence.

"Don't bully my youngest daughter-in-law." Lin Youhui pulled Wen Ya away protectively.

"Whose mother are you?" Ajiu pursed her lips unconvinced.

Wen Ya is older than A Jiu, and got married earlier than A Jiu. Now A Jiu is pregnant, but she is not yet. Lin Youhui is afraid that she will be worried, so he comforts her.Wen Ya rolled her big eyes, "Mother, you are right when you say that you want children to be natural and not impatient. But, I can't lose to Ajiu."

Lin Youhui was amused by her and smiled, "Okay, I won't lose to her. Aya, you and Ayu should work harder."

Wen Ya blushed.

Ajiu sighed, "What day is it today, to see Wen Ya blushing?"

Joyful laughter resounded in Ah Jiu's daily life in the warm pavilion.

The third aunt Xu also often came to visit Ajiu.Ajiu loves to listen to market gossip, all kinds of strange people and anecdotes that are freshly released, Xu will tell her as a joke.One day, Mrs. Xu came to talk with Ajiu, and she couldn't help telling Ajiu in amazement, "Mei Qiong, the daughter of a criminal minister, who almost became the crown prince's second concubine, was actually proposed."

Ordinarily, a person like Mei Qiong would be finished if she sticks to the past for the rest of her life, or she might simply become a monk.Father was beheaded, mother didn't plan, she couldn't live without her mother's family, and she almost entered the East Palace, who dared to marry her after being so brave?
"She's not a beautiful woman, not even cute." When Xu mentioned this matter, she didn't understand.

Didn't Mei Qiong live in a small courtyard with her mother Zhao Zhen? After they moved in, Nanxionghou left some silver taels for them, and the two little girls let go of them.Mrs. Tai was very displeased, because she felt that Nanxiong Hou treated her younger sister poorly, but she asked her to use her private house to subsidize her daughter and granddaughter, and she didn't want her to have a son who was useless. some.

In the beginning, the life of Meiqiong mother and daughter was bitter but clean.After Zhao Zhen burst into tears for some time, she resigned to her fate, stopped crying all day long, and began to think about how to live frugally.Mei Qiong lived in that small courtyard, and she gradually calmed down her previous thoughts. She would never dream of the East Palace or the extraordinary and beautiful prince even in her dreams.Those are too far away from her, and she will never be able to do that again in this life.

Later, the government returned the part of the confiscated family property that belonged to Zhao Zhen's dowry. Mei's money." After returning the dowry, the life of the mother and daughter became more comfortable.

After a few days of clean life, Mrs. Mei and Mrs. Liu came to the door and made a big fuss with Zhao Zhen, "You eat delicious food and drink spicy food, and leave your mother-in-law alone. It doesn't make sense to travel all over the world!" Zhao Zhen thought I was wronged, so I wanted them to come in, but Mei Qiong refused to kill them, "As soon as they moved in, the grandmother played the music of the mother-in-law, and you were subdued by their aunt and nephew again!" The little girl stopped He locked the door, and refused to let Mrs. Mei and Mrs. Liu go in.

Mrs. Mei jumped three feet in front of the door, yelling curses.The neighbors in the alley came out to watch the excitement. At first they heard that it was the mother-in-law, and they all said that Zhao Zhen was wrong, "There is no one who keeps the mother-in-law out of the door." After talking about it briefly, I felt that Zhao Zhen was pitiful, "My husband took care of the second wife and ignored her for more than ten years. Now that my husband was beheaded, she even asked her to take care of the second wife. That's not the case."

Mrs. Mei just made a big noise in front of the door, and the whole street knew about it.

"Is there a hero to save the beauty?" Ah Jiu asked with great interest.

"Ninny, you are so smart." Xu raised her eyebrows in surprise, and praised Ajiu.

Ajiu was very proud, "Of course, who am I, Miss Pei Jiajiu, beautiful and intelligent, unparalleled in the world!" Mrs. Xu praised her, and she praised herself a lot.Ah Jiu has always been able to enjoy herself very much.

Mrs. Xu smiled brightly, and told Ah Jiu what happened next, "Isn't that right, someone really came to help Mei Qiong..."

There are also some Beijing officials with low official positions living in this alley. Among them, there is a family named Lin, and the head of the family is in charge of the Ministry of Rites.He has a son named Lin Mingtang, who was also attracted by the quarrel that day. Seeing the injustice, he scolded Mrs. Mei and Mrs. Liu for their injustice. The old lady and Mrs. Liu dragged her away.

Mei Qiong peeked through the crack of the door, and Lin Mingtang quietly stuffed money into the soldier's sleeve.

Mei Qiong was very moved.

If you live on the same street, it is easy to find out which house the other person lives in.Mei Qiong asked Zhao Zhen to prepare a gift and go to Lin's house to express her gratitude, and Lin's family also returned the gift. After coming and going, the two families became acquainted, "So we know each other!" Zhao Zhen suddenly realized.

Wasn't it the same boat when returning to the capital from Gusu?

Mr. Lin's wife's surname is Jin, and her natal family was originally very powerful. Later, her father was dismissed and investigated, and she was ruined. She was also a little sick, and rarely went out to socialize.Zhao Zhen sent the little girl to deliver fruit and snacks several times, but Jin didn't show up.

The two families came and went frequently, so Lin Mingtang told his father that he was interested in Mei Qiong.Master Lin didn't quite agree, "She is the daughter of a guilty minister, and it's not nice to say it. That's all right, she used to be... Mingtang, absolutely not."

However, Lin Mingtang didn't listen, so he identified Mei Qiong.

"Ninny, you said this young man named Lin Mingtang, what happened?" Xu's face was confused.The Lin family is indeed not a good family, but it's not wrong to marry a girl like Mei Qiong.

"It's probably fate." Ajiu said with a casual smile, "Third Aunt, if Mei Qiong wants to marry, it may not be suitable for her to marry in Beijing. Let her father-in-law go back to his hometown to be an official, and she will follow her husband and son-in-law back to his hometown Right. Empress Zhang's previous will, let her never mention it again in this life, and don't think about it again."

"My daughter is generous." Mrs. Xu praised from the bottom of her heart.

"I don't want to argue with her." Ajiu smiled.

Ajiu has a very good memory, and she still hasn't forgotten the adultery case Mr. Pei Ge handled back then.The Lin family, the Jin family, isn't this the woman who couldn't get married back then and insisted on robbing her three children for their father?The Jin family has been defeated, and her good days are coming to an end, let her go back to the ancestral home of the Lin family, and spend time with her original spouse and the sons born to her original spouse.The days ahead for her must be wonderful.
