The baby-making system is unreliable
Chapter 89: The Sickly Emperor vs. the Happy-looking Lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion (2)
Yun Yirou looked at Xu Yimo's harmless appearance, and the smile on her face became more genuine. She said slowly: "Then I would like to thank Ah Mo for your kindness. Ah Mo just wants to be friends with me, but I still have to go to the wedding wine ceremony."
She stood up, picked up the wine glass on the table, filled it up, and handed it to Xu Yimo, saying, "It's a good omen. Maybe Ah Mo's illness will be cured. Besides, we are husband and wife, aren't we?"
Xu Yimo took the wedding wine and was led by her in a daze. The two of them clinked glasses together, then lightly touched their noses to the cups and drank it all in one gulp.
"Okay, now the process is complete and the ceremony is over. We are now a formal couple. Ah Mo, please give me your guidance."
Yun Xirou breathed a sigh of relief, as if she could feel more relaxed after completing the process. It must be that she had a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the necessary processes were really indispensable.
The bridal chamber was illuminated by the dim light of candles, and the couple's bright red wedding gowns were very festive, giving the impression of a loving couple.
Xu Yimo blushed and remained silent, as if he was embarrassed by her words, and felt a little depressed.
He raised his head, slowly looked at her lively expression, and said with a hoarse voice: "Ahem... Tonight is our wedding night. If I leave, I'm afraid there will be gossip in the future. So I'll rest on the couch today."
"Let me do it, Ah Mo. You are not in good health. I am not sympathizing with you or feeling sorry for you. I am just afraid that others will see you and tell the Queen Mother."
Yun Xirou stared at him and smiled faintly, then took off the heavy phoenix crown, shook her head as if relieved, and felt a lot more relaxed.
She gently brushed her hair to make it smooth, then climbed onto the small couch holding the quilt.
Yun Yirou was worried that he would misunderstand, so she couldn't help but add, "Besides, this place is too small, it's only suitable for me to sleep in. So, I'll go to bed first, and get some rest."
After saying that, she quickly got into bed, turned her back to Xu Yimo and didn't look at him. Finally, she was able to have a good sleep.
Xu Yimo was stunned. Looking at this man's quick reaction, he was actually a little at a loss for a moment.
He silently looked at Yun Xirou's back, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He naturally knew what Yun Xirou meant, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
The candlelight in the hall crackled, illuminating the room with a warm glow. The dragon and phoenix candles were burning, causing the temperature in the room to gradually rise.
Xu Yimo sighed softly, walked to the bed and sat down, his eyes still on Yun Xirou.
After a while, he took off his clothes and slowly lay down, just in time to see her back, but couldn't see her face clearly.
But somehow I recalled her appearance in my mind, that delicate little face, with a hint of shyness in her smile, and a bit of charm between her brows. I just felt that she was different from the other girls in Beijing.
He had seen too many strange looks in the past, and so many girls in Beijing wanted to avoid him. Thinking of this, he felt that he lacked love? !
Uh... but that's not the case. He just felt that she was different. How was she different? He couldn't put his finger on it. It was as if he felt that his 'gentleness' was understood, instead of being despised as 'weak'.
He always coughed easily at night, and she was worried that he would wake her up and disturb her sleep.
That night, he slept well, perhaps because of the faint fragrance on her body, or perhaps because of the faint sound of the bell in the night.
He hadn't slept well for a long time. When he opened his eyes again, it was Xiao Linzi who called him to get up for the morning court.
Xiao Linzi was a eunuch beside him. He grew up with him and was one of his study companions. He was the most loyal.
I don't know if it's his illusion, but I always feel that he is very happy today, and I don't know what he is happy about? !
When Xiao Linzi entered the room, he was stunned to see the queen lying on the couch, but he said nothing. He just helped his master to get up as usual.
I murmured to myself that it was no wonder that there was no movement last night. I thought it was because the emperor was weak and it turned out to be because they slept in separate beds.
But he was still very happy. It was the first time he saw His Majesty sleep well at night. Before, when the situation was serious, he coughed all night long, and he was afraid that if he didn't say anything, His Majesty would die.
Think about your Majesty's health. If it were someone else, they would probably just concentrate on resting. But your Majesty has never missed the morning court many times over the years!
Fortunately, he had the eldest princess to accompany him. When he was not feeling well, the eldest princess would take charge of the affairs of state.
Xu Yimo's expression did not change. He just glanced at him, got dressed, and before leaving, he reminded him not to wake up anyone in the hall.
Xiao Linzi was thinking that he must tell the empress dowager and the eldest princess the good news. They would definitely be very happy and think that the experienced and experienced person in the Imperial Observatory was really capable.
Yun Xirou vaguely smelled some aromas, the whole taste seemed to be her favorite red date and lotus seed soup. When she opened her eyes, she saw a table full of delicious food.
"Miss, are you awake? That's great. I was worried that you would not wake up. When His Majesty leaves the court, the food will still be on the table!"
When Xia Mo saw that she woke up, she quickly asked someone to get some water, walked to her bed, and helped her get up.
She seemed to be a little dazed. It took her a long time to see who it was. She got up, dressed, and washed her face. She said softly, "You really know what I am thinking. You prepared so many of my favorite foods so early in the morning."
"Miss, Madam, this is something His Majesty specifically ordered, asking me to prepare something that Madam likes to eat."
This morning, when he asked the young lady what she liked to eat, Xia Mo was completely confused. She thought that her young lady would suffer if she got married.
After all, she is just a bride for good luck. Given His Majesty's physique, it would be fine if she can get well.
If His Majesty passes away accidentally, the young lady will be guilty of a serious crime and will be a widow from now on.
"It's him?! Okay, I see. After I finish eating, let's go pay our respects to the Queen Mother first, so that she won't have to wait too long."
Yun Xirou walked forward and started eating quickly. It was the first day as a bride, so she couldn’t keep her mother-in-law waiting for too long.
As for him? He is indeed a very gentle person, so gentle that it seems that he may not even get angry, and there is a feeling of calmly waiting for the end of time to come.
In the hot summer, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, and the fragrance is everywhere. The roads in the palace are winding, and the scenery along the way is beautiful.
The palace walls are lined with green trees and lush grass, which contrast with the pink and white lotus flowers, forming a beautiful picture.
Walking along this road, you can feel the breeze on your face, bringing a slight coolness. The flower beds along the road are full of various flowers, colorful and fragrant.
The palace in the distance is majestic and magnificent, showing the majesty and dignity of the royal family. Taking a walk in such a beautiful scenery is like being in a fairyland, which makes people feel happy.
The summer sun shone through the gaps between the leaves, creating patches of light and shadow. She had not had a chance to take a good look at the Fengyi Palace, but the scenery along the way in the palace was excellent.
Inside the Taichen Palace, there seemed to be two people talking in the main seats. Yun Xirou looked up and saw three extremely beautiful women.
She had heard that the Queen Mother was extremely favored and beautiful in the past, and was a famous beauty in the capital. Seeing her today, she was indeed graceful and elegant, and her charm was as good as before, which made her marvel.
Yun Xirou bowed slightly and respectfully said, "I greet the Queen Mother."
This person is beautiful, but it is hard to tell what her character is like just by hearsay. You have to see it with your own eyes to know.
The Queen Mother beckoned her with a kind look, motioning her to come sit in front of her: "The girl from the Yun family is here, please take a seat quickly. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Come here, this is your eldest sister-in-law Hua Yuelian, the one you call sister, her maiden name is Shuyao. The little girl over there is my niece Lanzhi, you are meeting her for the first time."
Yun Xirou walked forward and greeted them one by one following the empress dowager's line of sight. She was the daughter of the prime minister's mansion. Logically, she should have participated in women's gatherings in the capital, but she had rarely seen these two.
She had also heard of the name Hua Yuelian a long time ago. She was the second daughter of Hua Qizhong, Marquis of Zhenxi. She had been engaged to the late emperor (Xu Zhaolin) since she was a child, and the two had been friends since childhood.
As early as twenty years ago, Hua Qizhong and the retired emperor were close friends. They fought together in many battles and had a deep friendship.
Later, the retired emperor ascended the throne and stayed in the capital, while Hua Qizhong took his family to settle down in the south of the Yangtze River and enjoy peace and tranquility.
Five years ago, when the late emperor passed away, his youngest daughter Lan Zhi was just born, and Hua Yue Lian also... became a widow. She moved out of Fengyi Palace and lived alone in the West Palace.
The Queen Mother could not bear to see her live a lonely life, so she allowed her to remarry three years later, but unexpectedly, she directly refused.
After Xu Yimo ascended the throne, he still respected her as the eldest sister-in-law, and all kinds of items were never in short supply, which could be considered preferential treatment.
Since then, people in the capital talked about Hua Yuelian, and they all expressed their admiration for her deep love and said that she and the late emperor had a deep affection for each other.
Sometimes the young ladies in the capital would hold poetry gatherings, but Hua Yuelian seemed to only care about the late emperor, so she never participated.
Hua Yue Lian had a half-smile on her face, like a gentle and virtuous elder sister, and said to her: "Sister, don't be nervous. We are all family today, there is no need to be so polite."
Yun Xirou nodded slightly, and her gentle look seemed to be seen by several people as a little girl.
As for the eldest princess next to them, she looked very similar to Xu Yimo, and one could tell at first glance that they were siblings.
It is said that she and His Majesty are twins, born from the same mother, and have looked very similar since childhood.
When the Queen Mother was pregnant with them, wars were raging everywhere and she had no time to recuperate. Both of them were born prematurely, and it was not easy for them to survive at that time.
"Yes, I have met you. From today on, you are family. No matter what you and A-di plan to do, take good care of him and yourself, and don't hurt his feelings."
Xu Shuyao looked up and down at the person in front of her. She had heard what Xiao Linzi said in the morning, so she did not go to the court. She wanted to see this girl from the Yun family on purpose.
She was a little unhappy about her brother getting married like this. After all, it was a girl she had never seen before. If the marriage was not consensual, wouldn't it just lead to resentment between the two of them? !
Unexpectedly, A-di seemed to like her very much, and seemed to be able to sleep well at night, maybe because of the strange fragrance on his body? ! In any case, she only has this one brother, she must protect him! !
Her eyes were firm and bright, her voice was deep and powerful, and there was even a bit of heroic spirit between her brows. She was obviously a woman, but she didn't feel like a woman at all.
At this moment, she was sitting on a gorgeous chair, her body slightly leaning back, one hand casually resting on the armrest, and the other hand resting on her legs, showing a relaxed and confident posture.
Her hair was neatly combed into a bun, with a few strands falling on both sides of her cheeks, adding a touch of softness.
Although her clothes are not luxurious, she exudes a unique temperament, as if revealing a hint of dominance.
This kind of domineering and heroic spirit is not deliberately pretended, but comes naturally from the bottom of her heart, which cannot be ignored.
No wonder she never participated in poetry gatherings? Yun Xirou felt that such a girl would not like the poetry of those boudoir girls at all. She must look very much like her father.
Yun Yurou responded, "I understand what my sister said."
Seeing that these people were quite friendly, she relaxed a little and started chatting and laughing with them.
She had thought that since she and His Majesty had not consummated their marriage last night, she might be in trouble today, but she never expected that the Queen Mother did not urge her.
"Xiao Mo is not in good health, so there is nothing we can do about it. We are... afraid... We can only give the result calculated by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory a try, but you two are meeting for the first time, so your feelings need to be nurtured."
The Queen Mother had a loving motherly heart, and Yun Xirou naturally understood this, so she spoke with great earnestness.
"I know you may feel aggrieved, but... we can't do anything about it."
While the Queen Mother was speaking, Xu Shuyao and even Xiao Lanzhi had sad looks on their faces, which showed that they really cared.
"He has been weak since childhood, and the imperial doctors are helpless. They can only hope for the traditional method of a wedding. Although you have never met before, you may gradually develop feelings for each other through your interactions in the future."
She sighed softly. Yun Xirou could see her painstaking efforts and nodded with a smile, saying, "I understand. Feelings can be cultivated."
What's more, Yun Xirou was not averse to this marriage. At least, although Xu Yimo was sickly, he was a gentle person.
Come to think of it, she has married a very good person this time.
Yun Xirou knew even more clearly that it was not easy for the empress dowager to say such things, and several people also gave her enough respect.
A journey of a thousand miles tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's true character. It is hard to say what feelings are, and only the friendship that can stand the test of time is a rare one.
"I understand that this may be a little unfair to you, but I believe that as long as you treat Xiao Mo with all your heart, you two may be able to succeed. Xiao Mo is a good kid, and I believe that after you spend some time with him, you will like him."
There was a kind light in the Queen Mother's eyes, as if all hopes were placed on her.
