Cold winter days make people lazy.
The old ministers were still competing with each other, so Li Luansong simply ignored them and let them go. Wouldn't it be nice to accompany his wife every day? Who wants to face their faces every day?
During the day, the young couple happily went out of the palace, walked around the shops, strolled on the streets, then went to a restaurant to have a big meal, then returned to the palace happily together, took a nap at noon, and in the afternoon Read and write together, and then have dinner with the elderly and children.
The pleasant day has reached its climax from this moment. Li Luansong can finally let go of the troubles. Shen Que seems to have been opened up to Ren and Du. The two interact harmoniously and freshly. They discuss each other's feelings from time to time and explore new things together. field……
Every time I call for water in the middle of the night, it gets later and later each day, and when I wake up in the morning, it gets later and later each day.
This Chinese New Year was a lively one, and after the Spring Festival good news came: the Queen is pregnant.
The old ministers suddenly became happy. They were still hesitating whether to continue taking leave after the New Year. Now they are better. Their illnesses are all gone, and they will be able to go to court in high spirits.
Everyone praised privately:
"You have to put pressure on them. Don't you think this will be effective?"
"Your Majesty is also very powerful. If you think about it, that's what happened in the past few months."
"Your Majesty is already full of blood, and it's not easy to get a child."
…
The happiest ones were Emperor Xiaochun, the Queen Mother and Shen Fu.
There are new grandchildren, and the old people on both sides are busy with their families. Even the Zhang family is very busy.
Everyone said:
"Liu Zi was not with us when she was born, so she didn't have the chance to prepare anything for the child. Now she is caught. Clothes, shoes, socks, quilts, food and drink, and diapers... all are prepared. , both the most and the best.”
Moreover, everyone sat together to discuss. They all wanted to participate but were afraid of repeating themselves too much, so they held several meetings under the auspices of Emperor Xiaochun, and finally decided that the children's clothes, hats, shoes, and socks would all be provided by Emperor Xiaochun. Shen Fu prepared the quilts, toys, and diapers with the Queen Mother. Gu took the lead in preparing Shen Que's food and drinks, and the Zhang family prepared them.
Everyone worked separately and held a meeting once a month to report on each other's progress. As a result, in addition to the things that each of them had to prepare, everyone also prepared many other things. The meeting was in vain, but it was rare that everyone was happy. There were so many more things. That’s a lot, I’ll definitely use it in the future.
In Shen Que's palace, sisters and sisters came to visit constantly every day. In addition to his own sisters, there were also people such as Sun Xiaoxiao, Xia Chunlan, Chen Yirong, and Su Wan.
After hearing the news, the noble ladies in the capital rushed to the palace to give gifts to their empress.
It seemed that the whole world was busy, but Shen Que didn't take it seriously.
"It's probably not my first time to be a mother. I'm not very nervous." Shen Que said slowly while checking his own pulse: "Back then, Liu Zi could grow so strong in such an environment. This child must be more reassuring. ”
Zelan said: "Then you can't take it seriously, you still have to be careful. Even if you don't eat and drink for the sake of the child, you still need to supplement nutrition for yourself. People say that the root of the disease caused by the first child is in the second child." As long as you take good care of yourself, you will be fine."
Shen Que nodded, "I've heard of this too, don't worry, it'll be fine."
She was very relaxed, and even though she was carrying her boss's belly, she was not at all arrogant. She did whatever she was supposed to do and ate whatever she was supposed to eat.
On the contrary, he was more concerned about the marriage of his two sisters.
The marriage of Shen Silan and Lao Qi was finally decided, just three months later. In the words of the Queen Mother: "We must have enough time to prepare the second wife's betrothal gift."
Thinking back to the time of his wedding, Emperor Xiaochun and the Queen Mother almost filled the Shen family's yard, and it will definitely be no less so this time.
When I returned to my parents' house, I was dumbfounded. Not only was the yard full, but there was also a long queue outside the house, and I couldn't put it down.
Shen Fu was so worried that he almost cried: "Yu Yu, come and think of a solution, what should we do? My parents-in-law and father-in-law gave me too many things, and I can't put them in the house. This is a gift from the emperor, and we can't neglect it." ”
Shen Que thought for a moment and said, "Well, my yard is not used very much. When we have more children, we will live together with my father and sister. I will free up my yard and use it as a warehouse to store the betrothal gifts of woad." .”
This is a good idea, and this is the only way to do it.
Shen Silan held her arm and said, "Actually, it doesn't cost so much. My sister has lost her yard. What will happen in the future?"
Shen Que said, "I'm staying at your place, won't you let me stay?"
Shen Silan said: "Of course not. I'm afraid it will be too crowded and I will wrong my sister."
"This is because your parents-in-law value you." Shen Que said, "It will be better for you if you go in later. Look at my sister, so you should keep it well. The days are long and there will be more places to use money. Sister also There is a betrothal gift.”
Shen Silan hugged her: "Sister and dad are so kind to me."
"You're saying something stupid again. We're all part of the same family. Can I treat you badly?"
The two sisters sat together and talked all afternoon until Zhang Guanhua came over in the evening.
In order to be lively, her wedding was on the same day as Shen Silan.
"I'm so envious. There are so many betrothal gifts from Isatis." Zhang Guanhua looked at the things in the yard and said, "After all, I married a good man. My husband's family gave me too few gifts."
Her husband's family were ordinary people, so naturally they couldn't compare with the emperor's family.
Shen did know that what she said was not what she meant, so he joked: "Then why don't you marry someone else? It's not too late now."
Zhang Guanhua waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, it's better to be poor than to be poor."
Shen Que said: "What's the point of being poor? Don't deceive young people into being poor. Your Majesty said that your husband is a talented man and will surely prosper in the future. Just wait and enjoy the blessings."
Shen Silan was right, "I envy you. Just like my sister and brother-in-law, the world created by two people working together is more interesting. I can just sit back and enjoy the success."
The three of them chatted and laughed for a while, and Shen Que told them to go through the wedding ceremony process carefully, but not to be nervous or excited and lose control.
"If you get on the wrong sedan chair later, it will make you laugh."
*
The weather on the wedding day was excellent, neither cold nor hot. After discussion, the two families decided to get married in Shen Mansion.
The queen's daughter got married, and the whole city came to watch the ceremony. The whole court was full of civil and military officials, and it was even more lively than a palace banquet.
There were a lot of people and things going on, the salutes were going off non-stop, the children were laughing and running around, there was a constant stream of people coming in and out of the door, and the yard was full of people talking, laughing and making friends.
The two groomsmen were so busy that they were sweating profusely, and the bride almost got into the wrong sedan chair, which was quite a scene.
The ceremony was finally completed, and the old man shed tears of joy as he watched his daughters get married.
The banquet officially started, everyone changed cups and cups. Shen Que had a great appetite since he became pregnant. He wanted to eat everything, and he didn't have the morning sickness when he was pregnant with Zi. Everyone said he should be a little prince.
Shen Que feels that it is good for both men and women.
The dinner party was originally set up for her alone, with just her and Li Luansong, but both of them felt that was very boring, so they crowded in with everyone else while carrying their plates.
One sat at the women's table, and the other went to the men's table. Li Luansong would come over from time to time to take a look at Shen Que, see what she liked to eat, and give her some more.
There is no majesty of an emperor at all, just like the eldest brother-in-law next door.
Shen Que ate happily and refused everyone who came. Everyone praised her for her good appetite:
"This baby will definitely be a strong little guy."
"What time is it?" someone asked.
Shen Que thought for a moment and said, "I can't remember clearly. It seems like this month, or next month?"
Everyone laughed and teased her: "Queen, you are so forgetful of noble people that you can't even remember the day when your child was born."
Some people said: "That's how it should be. This is the one who does big things. It's much better than the one who is cautious when she is pregnant with a child."
During the dinner, everyone was talking, laughing, eating and drinking, harmoniously and happily.
She didn't know whether it was because she ate too much or because she ate too much. Shen Que suddenly felt uncomfortable in his stomach. He touched it quietly and tried to comfort the baby: "Good boy, wait until grandma finishes this meal. From tomorrow on, grandma will be pregnant." Keep the baby well in the palace and stop running around..."
Oops, something doesn’t seem right, why is it getting more and more painful?
Shen Que's expression changed, the chopsticks in his hand stopped moving, and the meat in his mouth suddenly felt unsavoury.
Li Luansong happened to run over to see her again and found that she looked wrong, pale and sweating.
"What, what's wrong?"
Shen Que said, "I'm afraid I'm going to give birth."
Li Luansong was so frightened that his face changed. He hurriedly asked someone to prepare a car and hurried to the palace.
All the guests were frightened and quickly gave way to the passage. Li Luansong took Shen Que, who was in pain and could not speak, to the palace.
The old ministers are anxious, but they want to be safe.
The female relatives prayed and wished that the empress and the young highness would be safe and well.
All the imperial doctors have gone to the palace.
The palace was very busy.
Shen Que passed out several times, always feeling that it was too difficult to give birth. Could it be that he had eaten too much.
Wen Po and the imperial doctor gathered around a crowd, and the palace was brightly lit by candlelight. Emperor Xiaochun and the Queen Mother waited outside with Li Luansong, anxiously calling out to Amitabha.
The palace attendants who were coming in and out were all walking quickly, with their heads lowered and busy with what they were doing, and their expressions were solemn, which made people's hearts skip a beat.
What should I do? This is obviously my second pregnancy, why is it still so difficult?
Li Luansong couldn't help it, walked around the palace, and ran out of the window behind Shen Que's bed.
Shen Que's palace was built on a high platform, and the bedroom was at the southern end. Under the high platform was the hard ground. Li Luansong stood sideways by the narrow wall.
"媆円."
He wanted to hear her voice, "Are you okay?"
Shen Que was in so much pain that he vaguely heard Li Luansong's voice.
"Your Majesty, don't come in."
"I didn't go in, I was at your window, and I'm here with you."
"Your Majesty, I am my concubine..."
"Don't talk, just listen to me." Li Luansong wiped away the tears on his face, "Yuyuan, you have to be good. I don't need the child, but I want you to be well.
The last time Liu Zi was born, I couldn't be by your side, and I have always regretted it until now. Now I can finally be by your side. Although there is a wall between you, I feel like I am by your side.
Yuanyuan, having you in my life is my blessing, Li Luansong. You must take care of yourself. As long as you are good, nothing else matters.
Yuanyuan, can you hear me?
Yuanyuan..."
No matter how Li Luansong called, Shen Que's voice could no longer be heard in the room, only Wen Po's shout and Zelan's voice.
"円円." Li Luansong was anxious, "円円..."
Suddenly, a baby's cry broke the tranquility of the night sky, and Li Luansong heard the words "birth, birth, birth."
Thank God, before he had time to thank God, he heard another weaker cry of a baby, followed by Zelan's joyful voice: "Mother, two twins are born, a boy and a girl."
