Shuoyun Feidu

The three chatted for a while, Beitang Rongdu was about to tell Beitang Zunyue about the man in Tsing Yi he met yesterday, when he suddenly heard the eunuch's obviously eager voice outside, saying: "... Your Majesty, someone just came Report, Concubine Yu has just suddenly started to have abdominal pain, I'm afraid she is about to give birth!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the father and son in the palace moved slightly, Beitang Zun Yue frowned slightly, paused, and said: "... I know." Because Yu Danyao's delivery date was originally these few days , so the imperial physician, midwife and others have already prepared, and all kinds of matters during childbirth are prepared in advance. It's just a rush to report, and there is no need for Beitang Zunyue to make any plans. On the contrary, Beitang Rongdu's heart trembled when he heard the news, but he concealed every expression on his face very well. With a twitch of a muscle, he casually reached out and picked a piece of pine nut candy from the silk-wrapped agate plate beside him and put it into his mouth. He only glanced at Beitang Zunyue from the corner of his eye, and saw that the other party didn't seem to care much. I don't know why in my heart, but it seems to be relaxed, and then I smiled lightly, slowly stroked the exquisite pattern on the sleeve with my fingertips, and said to Beitang Zunyue in a very normal tone: "... Well, when my mother was about to give birth to me, it should be the same when my father received the news? Or was he still nervous and happy at the time?"

Beitang Zunyue heard the words, looked sideways at Beitang Rongdu, a flash of light similar to memories flashed in his eyes for a moment, and slowly stroked Beitang Jiaqi's head in his arms with one hand, after thinking for a while, the corner of his mouth suddenly Wei Wei smiled slightly, and said honestly: "Actually speaking, when I received the news, I was a little surprised at first, and then I felt a little curious... After all, it was my first time becoming a father at that time, and besides, I was a little bit surprised at that time. He's only 16 years old, and he's still a young man." The smile on the corner of Beitang Rongdu's mouth was like a soft spring breeze, warm and warm, and while taking another piece of pine nut candy, he said with a soft smile: "I'm almost like dad, good Before I was born, I didn't feel much, maybe this is the difference between men and women, a mother who is pregnant in October naturally has to be more nervous about the child, but a father doesn't feel much."

Beitang Venerable lowered his head to look at Beitang Jiaqi who was sitting on his lap, and saw that the child was born with beautiful makeup, although he was young, he could vaguely see that his features were similar to him, or in other words, he was similar to Beitang. Rongdu is similar... Because it is now autumn, the window screens in Qianying Palace have all been replaced with almost transparent light orange organdy, which has the unique meaning of harvest and warmth in autumn. It's easy to make people feel calm, Beitang Zunyue suddenly stretched his eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "There is no difference between being a parent. I care about you no less than your mother, don't I?" Moved, but said with a smile on his face: "...ah, that's true."

The scent of sandalwood inside the cauldron was quietly flowing in the hall, and the father and son were talking casually, when suddenly a eunuch carefully reported outside: "Your Majesty, Yu Guifei has sent someone, please go ahead..." Said Hearing the eunuch's words, Beitang Rongdu's heart suddenly trembled. Generally speaking, when a concubine in the harem gave birth, the emperor would often visit him, but because of Beitang Zunyue's temperament, he took the initiative to give birth. The possibility of going to see it is really not high, and Yu Danyao must also know this in her heart, but at this time she ordered someone to invite Beitang Zunyue to go, others may just think that she is afraid of giving birth for the first time, and the father of the child is present. Be at ease, this is also human nature, but Beitang Rongdu has to think about it in another way - this Yu Danyao and herself have already torn apart in private, and now I am afraid that Beitang Rongdu will do something secretly. She couldn't pass this level, so she begged Beitang Zunyue to go, to scare others from making any moves. This woman has some scheming plans!

Thinking of this, Beitang Rongdu's face was serious, but there was a very slight cold smile on the corner of his thin mouth, and he was about to speak. Lu Xing had already brought tea in at this time. Seeing this situation, he naturally He knew it well, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "I think your concubine has never given birth, so it is inevitable that you will be a little flustered at this juncture, and then you want to ask the emperor to preside over the overall situation, so you feel at ease. In fact, it is related to your concubine's palace. It has been prepared long ago, so it will not be a hindrance, besides, it is always unlucky to see blood in the delivery room, how can the emperor's golden body be contaminated with bad luck?" He glanced at Beitang Zunyue, and carefully added: "... ...Your Majesty really doesn't need to worry too much about your concubine's auspicious appearance."

The corners of Beitang Rongdu's mouth were slightly pursed, but his face was full of gentleness and grace, and he said slowly: "Since Concubine Yu invited Dad to go, and the current situation is special, it is better for Dad to go..." Beitang Rongdu As he spoke, the corners of his mouth twitched silently, but a trace of loneliness appeared on his face. The more Beitang Zun saw it, raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes fell on Beitang Rongdu's slightly lowered eyelids. I couldn't hear any ups and downs, but I just said: "...When your mother gave birth to you, I didn't go there, let alone other people now." Tang Zunyue made it clear that apart from his Beitang Rongdu, he really didn't care much about the other children, so he couldn't help but feel the slight heat in his eyes for a while, and he hurriedly covered it up, but there was a moment of joy in his mind, and it was surging again Seeing the warm sweetness, I just wish that I could just keep intoxicated like this, so I bowed my head slightly very meekly, and didn't say any more at the moment.

The hall seemed to be brighter and brighter, with sunlight pouring in through the window panes, the warmth was palpitating, the breath of Beitang Zunyue was so close, his body smelled good, it was the unique smell of ambergris, among which It is also mixed with the faint body breath of an adult man, vaguely reminding Beitang Rongdu of the feeling when this man gently hugged himself in his arms before, so addictive and greedy, Beitang Rongdu was contemplative, unconsciously Squeezing his knuckles, he restrained himself from reaching out to the man. Although his temperament was cold and hard, but at this moment, he only felt something soft in his chest, slowly spreading to his whole body, and he really wanted to grab something familiar. As a powerful and trustworthy thing to rely on... A bird suddenly flew by outside the window, and let down a series of clear and clear cries. All the daze was broken in an instant, and Beitang Rongdu's mind was taken away immediately, but suddenly he heard Qing Lingling beside him: "Daddy..." He moved his eyes away, smiled lightly as if nothing had happened, and his eyes fell quietly. On the side of Beitang Jiaqi, said: "What's the matter?" Beitang Jiaqi looked up at him in bewilderment, and asked half understanding: "...Is Luer going to have a younger brother?"

Beitang Rongdu smiled slightly, a smile that fit his identity formed at the corner of his mouth, and slowly said: "It's not a younger brother, it's Jiaqi's uncle or aunt." Beitang Rongdu suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart He stretched out his hand to hug Beitang Jiaqi from Beitang Zunyue, touched the top of her head with a smile, and said lovingly: "Silly girl, why don't you even know this..." He hugged his daughter like this very normally , but her chest was shrouded in a slight chill, this is her own flesh and blood, nothing could be more precious, and she is not allowed to be hurt even a little bit, but just today, I want to let another child lose it as soon as he is born. Mother, and those are his own blood relatives... Beitang Rongdu suppressed the coldness in his heart, turned his eyes unconsciously, but was facing the gentler eyes of Shang Beitang Zun, Beitang Rongdu felt relieved, that moment Fen Hansha was dispelled, and his heart suddenly became firm, and then he returned to the north hall with a bright smile.

--Fortunately, no matter what, no matter what I have to do, father, you will always be by my side, won't you?

Not long after, a little eunuch suddenly reported back: "... Your Majesty, the imperial physician just said... Yu Guifei's fetal position, I'm afraid it's not right..." Beitang Rongdu's heart moved, he pursed his lips and remained silent, Tang Zunyue frowned, and said in a flat voice: "Tell them to show some skills, and they all say they are national players. Could it be that they can't even solve a woman's childbirth now!" The eunuch stepped back, Beitang Rongdu took a sip of tea, and said softly: "...Since it was not a natural birth, then, I'm afraid it won't be a matter of a while, why don't I play chess with my father and wait, it can be done." Kill the time." Beitang Zun Yue waved his hand indifferently, signaling a servant to fetch the chess box.

Milky white smoke curled up from the tripod, and with the warm wind blowing in from the window, it lingered in the hall. Just as the seventh white piece of Beitang Rongdu was about to fall, only the sound of hurried footsteps approaching outside the hall, an old man The eunuch walked in quickly with sweat on his face, took a deep breath, and didn't care to wipe the sweat, just lowered his hands and said: "... Your Majesty, Yu Guifei seems to be a little bit bad, the imperial doctor said... said..." The eunuch carefully looked at Beitang Zunyue's face, and asked in a low voice: "...the imperial doctor said that if there is a change in the future, if it is a last resort, if adults and children can only choose one to protect, they don't know that the emperor will protect you." It means..." Beitang Zun Yue frowned slightly, with a hint of impatience, he only glanced at the eunuch, his face was so calm that no waves could be seen, holding a black jade chess piece in his hand, he said calmly "...Save the child." Rong Du from the opposite Beitang listened, picked up the tea on the side and pretended to take a sip to cover up the fluctuations in his heart, there was an imperceptibly sharp and cold expression between his lips and teeth, he knew, Yu Danyao's childbirth this time is a road of no return paved by himself for her.

The eunuch got the order, and immediately bowed to leave. Beitang Rongdu didn't speak, and gently put down the chess piece in his hand. After a while, he spoke calmly and calmly: "Father, if my mother gave birth to me back then, halfway If something happens, will daddy protect me too?" Beitang Zun looked at him more and said without hesitation: "...I will not protect you, but your mother." Beitang Zunyue said while lowering his head to study The movement on the chessboard, the tone is very straightforward: "At that time, your mother grew up with me since childhood, and she had some affection, but you have nothing to do with me, so I naturally want to protect her." After a pause, the expression on his face Nothing changed: "...as for Yu Shi, she is just a girl, different from your mother, so naturally the blood of the Beitang family is more important." yes."

I don't know how long it took, only the faint sound of a baby crying could be heard from a distance outside, and a moment later, a big eunuch walked in quickly with a tightly wrapped beautiful swaddle in his arms, with a smile on his face, and said happily "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, Yu Guifei just gave birth to the prince, and the little prince is very strong!" When Beitang Rongdu came in from the eunuch, his eyes were fixed on the swaddle, faintly Hearing the sound of a child crying, at this time when the man finished speaking, his mind was confused for a moment, and then he reacted, the left hand in the sleeve tightened slightly, his mind was full of thoughts, but he never showed it on his face With a slight hint, he turned his head and smiled at Beitang Zun, and said: "...So he is a little brother." Then he said to the eunuch, "Show me." As he said that, he got up and walked over.

Seeing this, the eunuch naturally didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly and carefully handed the baby to Beitang Rongdu. Beitang Rongdu held the baby and returned to Beitang Zunyue, and stepped forward to show Beitang Zunyue. I saw that the baby's skin was pink, and it was still a little wrinkled. It was crying with a small mouth that only had a gum. Beitang Rongdu held the younger brother in his arms. But he smiled and said: "The child seems to be very ugly when he is born. He was very similar to Jiaqi when he was born..." Beitang Zun looked at the baby in the swaddle, and there was no obvious fatherhood on his face. Joy, but I still looked at the baby a few more times, and said to Beitang Rongdu: "... When you were just born, it was the same? At first glance, I thought it was a hairless baby monkey."

At this time, Beitang Jiaqi had already come over, looking curiously at the baby in Beitang Rongdu's arms, eagerly stretched out his snow-white hands, about to reach for the baby, and said, "I'll hold, I'll hold..." How could Beitang Rongdu give it to her? The posture of holding the baby was instinctively cautious, and he smiled: "...Hold it for you? Carefully throw your little uncle down." At this time, Beitang Rongdu clearly said something like It was like swallowing an unripe raw persimmon, numb and astringent, but he still put on a decent expression, holding the baby firmly, with a little helplessness, but he also knew the truth that too much was too late, so in his eyes He didn't try to hide it either, and showed a slight sense of sadness, so that Beitang Zunyue could see it, so that he would not arouse any doubts. He looked at Beitang Rongdu, but he didn't reach out to pick up the child, hugged him, and said in a low voice: "...he is not like you when you were young." Beitang Rongdu's face flashed After a moment of hesitation, he looked down at the baby and said softly, "Really."

Beitang Zunyue saw that Beitang Rongdu seemed to be in a daze. He didn't know why, but without thinking about it, a sudden thought came to his mind, and he blurted out: "... If you like this child, take it back Keep it up." Beitang Rongdu was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at Beitang Zunyue, and then from the man's deep eyes, he saw Beitang Zunyue The intention of Beitang Zunyue is clearly telling himself that although this child is also his own flesh and blood, he will never be able to compare with Beitang Rongdu, nor can he treat Beitang Rong like he was when he was a child. He could even hand it over to Beitang Rongdu, so that he would not let himself fulfill his duty as a father...Beitang Rongdu's heart was soft and astringent, but still Maintaining the superficial calm, he said with a smile: "Father is just joking. I haven't heard of a prince who doesn't live in the palace, but has to be taken care of by the prince in the palace." The eunuch who came over with the baby asked casually: "Concubine Yu must have recovered by now? The prince should let her look at it." The big eunuch smiled all over his face, and hurriedly said: "Concubine Yu is still waiting for you now. Well, I'm just tired, and I lost a lot of blood just now, and I'm already out of strength... Just now, Concubine Yu has already seen the little prince."

When Beitang Rongdu heard this, he let out an 'oh' calmly and nodded slightly. At this time, the baby in his arms suddenly cried a little louder. In Tang Rongdu's ears, he was in a daze. He only felt that the cry was faint and sobbing, and it was very sad. It made people feel a little disturbed, as if the child felt that his biological mother was about to encounter something. Beitang Rong Duyin was slightly stunned, calmed down, breathed a sigh of relief, and then involuntarily showed embarrassment, and smiled at Beitang Zun after a pause: "... Why can't the child keep crying? It must be because I didn't hold him properly, so he felt uncomfortable, so he kept crying. Dad knows how to take care of children better than me, so let's see." The swaddling baby was handed over, Beitang Zunyue paused for a moment, and just now he took the baby, the gesture of holding the baby was very familiar, Beitang Rongdu put one and a half of Beitang Zunyue's arms, and looked down at the skin The wrinkled younger brother, with a concentrated expression, and Beitang Jiaqi beside him also poked his head curiously, watching eagerly, the hall was harmonious and peaceful, but soon, this peaceful atmosphere was suddenly broken, and some eunuchs looked panicked. Walking in quickly, Beitang Rongdu raised his head in dissatisfaction, but a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes very subtly, and lightly reprimanded: "...It's so good, why are you so flustered!" Hearing the eunuch's high-pitched voice resounding in the hall, he said in panic, "Return to the emperor, your lord, your concubine is bleeding profusely after giving birth, just now I saw Da Hong, the imperial doctor said, it's already a collapse of blood!"

The sound suddenly sounded, and quickly dissipated into the air as if submerged in water. There was no trace of the past, and the hall was almost silent. Only babies were crying one after another, and Beitang Rongdu just fell He showed appropriate surprise in a good way, but at the same time, he did not show any deliberate unbearable expression in line with his own position, as if he was just an insignificant person, and he didn't care about it, while Beitang Zun Yue didn't say anything, and didn't raise his head, he just said calmly: "Tell the imperial physician to take care of you..." Before he finished speaking, another eunuch hurried in and said in a low voice: "... Your Majesty, Yu Guifei collapsed after giving birth, He just died."

Beitang Rongdu's hands moved slightly in his wide sleeves, and he turned his eyes to look at the crying child in Beitang Zunyue's arms. His heart was as hard and cold as ice, and at the same time, a bone-chilling coldness was like ice. Like water, it overflows from the bottom of his heart. He doesn't know if he will have retribution in the future, and he doesn't care about it at all. He only knows that he has to wipe out the hidden dangers in front of him one by one. No matter who it is, he can do it... Bei Tang Rongdu looked at Beitang Zunyue beside him, the man's face was not moved, he only glanced at the baby in the swaddle, and said in a flat voice: "...I see." The corners of Beitang Rongdu's mouth slightly There was a trace of a deeply hidden smile, in this palace, a woman's life was of no importance to him at all, just like the clouds in the sky, they would disperse as soon as they said they would, leaving no trace behind.

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------

Yu Danyao's death did not cause much impact in the harem, just like a drop of water falling into a deep pool, it could not stir up any waves, but the birth of the little prince was an injection into the harem that never heard babies cry. With a flash of life, the ministers of the DPRK and China also expressed their congratulations. They congratulated Beitang Zunyue on the joy of having a prince. On the second day after the birth of the youngest son, Beitang Zunyue named him a single name with the word 'Wei'.

In the afternoon of this day, Beitang Rongdu was a little sleepy after finishing the business at hand, so he leaned on the low couch under the long window to rest. The smile on his face was gentle and nostalgic, and his slender fingers gently stroked his cheeks. While he was intoxicated, he suddenly heard a baby cry, breaking the thin dream. In front of him is his bedroom, and in the soft bamboo cradle next to him, Beitang Wei is waving his small fists, crying, obviously just waking up, a sudden indescribable indescribable feeling in Beitang Rongdu's heart Feeling lonely, as if time had stopped abruptly at a certain moment, he sat up silently, supported the cradle with his hand, and rocked it gently, gradually, Bei Tangwei's voice became quieter, and he stopped crying Voice.

The sun spread quietly on the ground, and there was no one around, only the soft sound of the cradle being shaken, and the falling flowers fell from the branches outside the window, and some of them flew into the hall when the wind swept them, like a fragrant flower. The snow gradually scented the air, and at this moment, outside the beaded curtain, a figure flashed, a little eunuch lifted the quietly hanging veil, came in and said: "...My lord, Lord Mu is here." Beitang Rongdu was still sitting upright, looking at the child in the cradle, and said calmly: "...Understood, invite him in."

After a while, Mu Qinghan had entered the hall, and the weather outside was so hot that his originally fair face was slightly flushed. With an ice-cold drink, he dismissed the others and said: "...the weather is so hot, why did you come here against the sun?" Mu Qinghan smiled slightly on his handsome face, and said: "...I just want to come Look at you." Beitang Rongdu draped the outer shirt on the side over his shoulders, stretched out his hand to tuck the small quilt on Beitang Wei's body, smiled, and didn't answer the man's words, just said: "Jiaqi likes children very much. This time I made a fuss about bringing Wei'er back, but I couldn't resist her, so I had to tell my father to take the child to the Qing Palace for a day or two." While Beitang Rongdu was speaking, Beitang Wei's bright eyes kept looking at her. My elder brother, with a small pink mouth, has been born for thirteen days, and his wrinkled body has already grown out, becoming white and fat, and his eyes are the same blue as Beitang Rongdu. The color is different, but the appearance is different from that of Beitang Rongdu when he was a child, and he is more beautiful and very cute.

Mu Qinghan's eyes didn't blink for a moment, he just quietly watched Beitang Rongdu tease the baby, the smile that was originally on the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared, and after a long while, he suddenly said in a deep voice: "...I thought, you don't I will keep this child." He has a different status, and his relationship with Beitang Rongdu is also extraordinary. Beitang Rongdu has always done things and will not hide it from him, so Mu Qinghan knows about Yu Danyao .

As soon as these words came out, Beitang Rongdu's hand paused slightly, but after that, he still gently stroked the child's pink face with his hand, and raised his head, the expression on his face was as calm as Ning Zhiwu's. The surface of the windy lake was not even slightly turbulent. He only looked at Mu Qinghan with deep eyes, as if he wanted to see the bottom of the other person's heart all the time, but then his eyes turned slightly, and he said with a faint smile: "...why do you want to stay or not?" of."

Beitang Rongdu said, although his voice was soft, but very clear, Qing Lingling said: "...a woman giving birth is like walking before the gate of hell. Yu Danyao's luck is not good, so she can't blame others." Mu Looking at him, Qinghan suddenly sighed slightly: "After all, this is from Yu Danyao, her body is bleeding, you will see it often in the future, maybe you will always think of this..." Mu Qinghan deeply Looking at Beitang Rongdu's calm expression: "... I originally thought that with your usual temperament, you would definitely kill the grass and wipe out the roots, not even leaving this child behind."

"Why must it be like that?" Beitang Rongdu suddenly smiled, and gently pinched Beitang Wei's pink and tender face with his hands, which made the child giggle. There was nothing in Beitang Rongdu's long and narrow phoenix eyes. The sharp taste was very peaceful, and he said slowly: "...This is the second younger brother of the king. His biological mother died of dystocia. His mother died early, and his father didn't care much about him. He is lonely and helpless. A brother is like a father, since this is the case, this king has always taken care of him a lot, so in the future, he will naturally be harmonious, and he will also respect this big brother, so what's wrong?" Beitang Rongdu said, his tone was completely the same Kind brother, but after he finished saying these words, he raised his face, his face remained unchanged, and his expression was so calm that there was no trace of ripples. He looked at Mu Qinghan, with a hint of twist in his eyes, and said, "You know, I The king is such a person, in order to achieve his goal, he can use any means to make his own brother born without a mother...Qinghan, this king is such a person, he can do anything, why, could it be that you are very disappointed what?"

The sun was faintly mottled on the ground, and the falling flowers outside the window were whirling and being blown everywhere by the wind, like a messy mind, without sound or breath. "...No." Mu Qinghan suddenly took a long, deep breath, with only a hint of determination in his eyes, accompanied by deep tenderness: "Beitang, whether you are kind-hearted or vicious, I will I don't care, no matter what you do, I will help you... These are what I promised you." Beitang Rongdu's eyes were dark, his heart trembled slightly, but there was a trace of relief on his face, deeply Looking at Mu Qinghan, a strange gleam flashed in his eyes for a moment, and he said softly and meaningfully: "...Yes, after this king, there will always be important things that need your help." While teasing the baby first, he changed the topic and chatted with Mu Qinghan about homely matters.

However, when Rong Du and Mu Qinghan were talking in the Qing Palace in Beitang, Zunyue and Bi Dan were also in the other room of Beitang. They were sitting in a pavilion built by the lake. There are several exquisite and delicious side dishes on the table, and a pot of pine mash spring, drinking wine facing each other.

There is a breeze blowing from all sides, carrying the fragrance of flowers. The wind in September is very hot, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable, but because it is near the water, the pavilion is not very hot. The flagon filled the wine pots for the two of them one by one, and then took a sip, but kept his eyes on Beitang Zunyue who was facing him, smiled, and suddenly sighed softly, saying: "... During this period of time, I have been able to communicate with Your Majesty. Getting along with each other from time to time, Dan is really happy, but it's a pity that the time of happiness is running out. As Prince Zhezhe, Dan can't stay in Beijing forever. Although he is reluctant to part with His Majesty, he must go back no matter what. I don't know when we will meet again next time."

Beitang Zun listened more, picked up the jade cup in front of him with one hand, weighed it in his hand, and drank it in one gulp, then sneered and said casually: "If you want to stay with me all the time, it's okay It's easy, I'll teach you a method now." As he spoke, he stretched out one hand, and lifted Bi Dan's chin with his slender fingers, caressing Bi Dan's chin slowly and vaguely, and said with a half-smile: "...When you sit down in the future For the throne, if you are willing to submit a letter of state to submit to Daqing and make Zhezhe a place under the jurisdiction of Daqing, then I will make you a king and live in the palace at that time, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds."
