King Sui wore a sky-blue cloak and strode towards the palace with a smile on his face. When he saw the emperor, his smile became even bigger.
"Father, my son has come to announce the good news to my father. Concubine Su in my house is pregnant. It has been two months now. My father is very happy. Within this year, my father will be a grandfather. It’s—”
I can't blame King Sui for being so happy and coming in such a hurry to announce the good news to the emperor. The emperor now has four living sons, two of whom have not yet been married, and the other two who have been married have never had any heirs.
It's not someone who plots and fights to miscarry, it's someone who doesn't even get pregnant.
The emperor is so worried!
As he got older, he naturally thought about being his grandfather. Seeing that his younger brother, King Zhao, had now embraced his grandson, he was not even that concerned with political affairs on weekdays. He just wanted to go back to embrace his grandson, and he was very jealous.
King Zhao also told him that in a few years, when the child could leave his mother, he would give the position to his son Zhao Mingzhan, and then he would teach the child at home and ignore the matters in the court, leaving him to look after anything in the future. Zhao Mingzhan.
Because of this, he almost got angry to death.
It’s great to have grandchildren, isn’t it? !
Although, it is indeed a little bit/a bit amazing.
Nowadays, regardless of whether the main concubine or the concubine is pregnant, it is a great joy for the emperor.
"Really?!" The emperor was happy but also a little unbelievable.
King Sui smiled and replied: "As for my father, how dare I deceive my father about such a big matter?"
"Okay! Okay!" The emperor was indeed very happy when he heard this, and immediately ordered someone to reward Concubine Su, "I remember that you, Concubine Su, are the girl of Duke Ning of Jinning."
"Exactly."
"That's good. You ordered someone to take good care of her. Make sure nothing goes wrong."
"Yes, father, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of you." King Sui was also very happy. If Su Ling gave birth to a son for him, he would be the emperor's eldest grandson, and at this time, he would also be one of several princes. The only one among them who has an heir is of great help to him.
Therefore, this child must be born safely.
He had previously married Su Ling as his concubine, firstly for the sake of the Jinning Duke's Palace, and secondly for the Pingbaihou Palace. However, the Jinning Duke's Palace thought that this girl did not exist, and the Pingbaihou Palace almost ruined his big event. After that, he began to ignore Su Ling and rarely went to her yard.
But he didn't expect that she would be so lucky to be pregnant. It seems that he will treat this concubine better in the future.
King Sui stayed in Taiji Palace for a while, and when he left, he was all smiles. The rewards from the palace were sent to King Sui's Mansion in a grand manner. People outside did not know what he said to the emperor in Taiji Palace, and they were very curious.
On that day, it was also reported that Concubine Su was pregnant. All the officials in the court congratulated him, as if they felt that if he had an heir, his move to the position of crown prince would be smoother.
Su Ling was in the backyard of Prince Sui's Mansion, drinking chicken soup that had just been stewed on the stove, talking to Princess Sui, and then smiled.
Princess Sui said: "Don't worry, sister, if you give birth to an heir, it will be recorded in my name. You and I will be his mother and raise him together..."
Princess Sui married King Sui. She had no children for many years and had taken countless medicines. Now she heard that her concubine was pregnant. Although she felt sad, she could only admit it through gritted teeth.
If she couldn't give birth, she would still have to give birth to someone else. When the time came for someone who was against her and wanted to be a princess, she might as well be Su Lingsheng. After Su Ling entered the palace, she behaved herself and respected her as a princess.
And having this child in her name would be of great benefit to her, Su Ling, and even this child.
Su Ling thought for a while, if she had the help of the princess, she would be safer, and the child's future would be smoother, so she nodded: "I just obey the princess's wishes. From now on, you and I, sisters, will work together." Raise him.”
"good."
.
The incident of the concubine's pregnancy in Prince Sui's Mansion caused a stir in the Imperial City for a while, but then it quickly calmed down, and in a blink of an eye, it was the beginning of spring.
In accordance with their agreement with Wang, Su Xun and Li found a courtyard for Su Luo that was close to Fuping Courtyard and asked her to move there. She would then go to Fuping Courtyard and stay with Wang.
When Su Luo moved out of the small courtyard of Yuhuayuan, she cried loudly. She was as pitiful as she was. Li Shi couldn't bear it and wanted to plead with Wang Shi. However, Su Xun did not agree and forcefully gave her to Su Luo. Su Luo moved.
That day, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried loudly. Su Luo turned back three times and reluctantly moved to the new yard.
Su Xun had already given her yard a new name, calling it Silo Garden.
When Su Luo just moved there, she looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, bumbling and pitiful.
When Wang saw her like this, he didn't let her go. Instead, he kept her by his side every day, watching her learn the six arts and teaching her the rules.
At the beginning, Su Luo was indeed reluctant, but as time went by, she got used to it. Under Wang's pressure, she really settled down and began to learn to be a qualified daughter.
Su Wan wrote a letter to Li Lin and told Li Lin about this. She was so happy that she watched Su Luo, a little fool, fighting wits and courage with the Wang family at the beginning and finally giving in and bowing her head.
However, she also felt that it was good for Su Luo to be with Mrs. Wang. Su Luo's temperament was raised too naively by Mrs. Li. If she didn't correct herself, she would definitely suffer a loss when she got married in the future.
Although it was said that Duke Jinning was protecting her, and as long as Duke Jinning was still there, no one would dare to go too far, but it was hard to tell what outsiders couldn't see. It was better to rely on yourself than to rely on others.
"Spring is getting warmer, the ice and snow have melted, and peach blossoms are in full bloom. Yesterday, the peach blossoms in the peach garden in Fuzhong were in full bloom. I took people to enjoy the flowers. I took a teacup and peach blossoms to make tea, and dried some dried flowers to keep. It will be used for drinking tea in the future.”
"Every now and then I see the wind blowing, and suddenly I see the spring breeze is still cold. I think of you on the way, and I hope you will take good care of me. I will put on more clothes and eat more."
"I don't know when Mr. Li will return. On the day Sijun left, the mountains were full of autumn. Now it's spring and peach blossoms are blooming..."
"The wild geese that have been tame by the returning wind no longer stay in the house in the courtyard and shiver. In the past two days, the returning wind has taken them out to fly around. If it hadn't been for the cold weather, I would have liked to take them out to play. When the spring warms and the grass grows, , I sat on the grass and watched them flying around in the sky..."
"I am waiting for your return in the Imperial City."
"I look forward to your return."
Finally, she regretted it and wrote:
"Forget it, you should just go about your business. I have nothing to do in the Imperial City. You can just come back after you finish your business..."
When Mr. Li received this letter, he was already on his way home.
The early spring wind was still a bit chilly. He was sitting in the carriage, with a tea cup and teapot stuck in the wooden table in his hand. The carriage was swaying, and the tea with smoke inside was swaying lightly in the cup. Not a single bit of it dangled out.
After reading the letter, he opened the curtains of the car window and looked at the trees and weeds on the roadside. Some trees were budding, and occasionally some early spring flowers had quietly bloomed.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and then he smiled a little.
Now it really is.
The flowers are blooming on the street, but they are slowly returning...
