Reborn as King again

After He Wenliu knew that she was pregnant, she lay in bed every day, not daring to do more exercise, so as to raise her baby with peace of mind, but she felt tired after lying down for a long time.Wang Qing later told He Wenliu that pregnant women should also take more walks, which is also good for the fetus.He Wenliu heard the words and insisted on going out every day.Now He Wenliu often appears in the imperial garden of the harem, by the pond or other places.Several times I saw him seriously walking on the gravel road in the back garden, as if he was walking for the sake of walking.

He Wenliu's rank is equal to Jia Wanru's, but he is different from Jia Wanru, he will not consolidate his position, he will only stay in his own palace, so he doesn't know anyone in the harem.Now because of his pregnancy, he has to appear in the eyes of everyone. Every day when he goes out, he will meet a bunch of concubines and eunuchs to greet him, which makes him a little at a loss.

One day two months later, I had nothing to do, so I went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to greet my mother. When I arrived at the main hall, I saw my mother's elder brother Xia Taishi sitting in a guest chair, as if he was talking to my mother.I don't need to think about it, I also know that the Jia family's attitude towards the Xia family has been very tough recently in the court hall. Even Jia Wanru greeted the queen mother, but the mother didn't see her behind closed doors, obviously showing her face.Now Taishi Xia probably came to discuss countermeasures with his mother.

After Grand Master Xia saw me, he hurriedly greeted me, I politely asked him to sit down, and wanted to see what purpose he had in looking for his mother.

The queen mother saw that I am a person who does not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and said with a smile: "Why did the emperor come to my Compassionate Palace today? Did you get the news early in the morning that Ai's family is calling Concubine Wen today, are you afraid that Ai's family will embarrass him , come to the hero to save the beauty now?"

He Wenliu was summoned to the Palace of Compassion by his mother today?I really don't know, I looked around, but I didn't see He Wenliu's shadow. The queen mother couldn't help but find it funny when she saw me searching all over the room, "Concubine Wen hasn't come yet, look at how anxious you are, Aijia looked at him I'm pregnant, so I want to say hello."

I know that the queen mother doesn't take He Wenliu seriously at all, and now that He Wenliu is pregnant with my child, her grandson, she is also happy that He Wenliu can spread branches and leaves for the royal family.I walked up to the empress and sat down next to the empress, and said: "I'm here to see the empress today. After Xiaoba left, the Palace of Compassion and Peace became more and more deserted. I'm afraid that the empress will be lonely."

"Look at your sweet mouth." The queen mother obviously didn't believe me, but she was also amused by me. She picked up the teacup on the table, took off the lid, and took a sip of tea. At this moment, a voice came from outside the hall. A scream of "Ah——————" startled everyone in the room, and the queen mother overturned the tea.

I hurriedly called someone to come over and wipe it clean for my mother. The mother was so embarrassed by the scream, she was naturally angry, and said sharply: "What's the matter? How dare you yell at the gate of the Palace of Compassion? You must be too courageous! Lan Mei, let Aijia go and find out what's going on!"

Lan Mei, who was standing next to the empress dowager, was about to go out to find out the situation when she got the order, when she saw Wanfu walk in calmly and asked, "Your majesty, empress dowager, are you not scared?"

I said, "What happened outside?"

Wan Fu replied with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal. Just now, the servant saw the Eighth Prince meeting Concubine Wen at the gate of the Palace of Compassion and Peace. I don't know what Concubine Wen said to the Eighth Prince. The Eighth Prince screamed excitedly, and then ran away. gone."

When the queen mother heard that it was Xiao Ba, she immediately turned her anger into joy, and said with a helpless smile: "Then what trouble did the little ancestor cause to Ai's family?"

After a while, He Wenliu walked in. It was already November, and it was not the coldest time yet, but he was wearing a snow-white mink coat and covered his whole body tightly.When he saw his mother, he greeted her.He Wenliu is only three months pregnant, and her stomach is still not obvious, but I was really afraid that he would bump into it, so I went down the hall, helped him up, and sat down with him by the hand.

The queen mother looked at the door for a moment, and asked, "Concubine Wen, where is Xiao Ba? Didn't he meet you at the door?"

He Wenliu replied: "The Eighth Prince has returned home."

When she heard that Xiao Ba had left, the queen mother was a little unhappy, "It's already at the door, and I don't know how to come in to say hello to Ai's family."

He Wenliu was a little unhappy when he heard the Queen Mother's tone, and quickly explained: "Actually, the Eighth Prince came to see the Queen Mother, and Wei Chen said something to the Eighth Prince before he left."

I was also a little curious, I didn't think there was anything new about He Wenliu that made Xiao Ba so excited, so I asked, "What did you tell Xiao Ba?"

He Wenliu smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that the Eighth Prince was mentioned in the family letter my second brother wrote to the elder brother. A few days ago, my elder brother came to visit me in the palace and accidentally mentioned this matter. Just now I saw the Eighth Prince and told him Having said that, the Eighth Prince seems to be very happy, and said that he will go back to the mansion to write back to my second brother."

The queen mother became even more suspicious when she heard it. It may be her mother's nature. She always felt that it was not that simple, and asked: "Isn't your second brother the general He who led the troops to fight? It's a relationship."

The queen mother's question made me secretly feel bad, I can't let him know that Xiao Ba loves He Wenwu, although I don't quite agree with Xiao Ba's feelings for him, but I know the queen mother's method too well, if she doesn't like it She will definitely find ways to get rid of them and then quickly, if she really does something to He Wenwu, then I will have a headache.I thought for a while and smiled: "Mother, it's not that you don't understand Xiaoba's personality. I like heroes and generals since I was a child. General He often wins battles. Xiaoba admires him very much. Before General He was framed, Xiaoba Didn't you just rehabilitate him, you forgot, you also helped here back then?"

The queen mother thought about it, it seems that there is such a thing, she sighed again: "When will Xiao Ba grow up, he just eats, drinks and has fun every day, constantly causing trouble, this is not a problem."

At this time, Grand Master Xia who had been listening to our gossip all the time spoke up, and said, "Madam Queen Mother, don't you think it's time to consider the lifelong affairs of the Eighth Prince?"

After listening to Xia Taishi's words, the queen mother thought it was very reasonable, and motioned him to continue, Xia Taishi continued: "If a man has a family and a daughter-in-law, he will know how to love others, and he will become mature and responsible. ,what do you think?"

The queen mother listened to Grand Master Xia's words and said with a smile: "Xiao Ba is only 16 years old this year, it's not too early to get married now. Could it be that Grand Master Xia has some suitable candidates?"

Grand Master Xia's eyes lit up immediately, and I was about to say something more, but I immediately interrupted, "I also think that Xiao Ba should find a good girl to marry."

I must intercept Grand Master Xia's words!I can't understand the evil idea in his heart. Now that the Jia family is targeting the Xia family everywhere, the Xia family sees that they have no backing in the harem, so they want to win Xiao Ba over. They also used this method in their last life!At that time, I hated the Xia family to the bone. In order to protect the Xia family, Grand Master Xia knew that I loved Xiao Ba most in my heart, so he set his mind on Xiao Ba.

When he was 88 years old, Xia Taishi introduced his distant cousin, Miss Huang, to his mother. Although Huang was not from a famous family, she was also a lady, gentle and virtuous, and won her mother's favor. The mother thought Therefore, instead of letting Xiao Ba marry a coquettish official lady, it is better to marry a virtuous and virtuous person, so she introduced Huang to Xiao Ba without telling the relationship between Huang and Xia's family, and then the queen mother Holding the red thread to get Xiao Ba to marry Huang.But not long after they got married, the Huang himself said that he had leaked his identity, and made Xiaoba half dead. He didn't expect his mother to design him like this, and went back to the palace to have a big fight with her mother, and then there was a gap between mother and child.Later, I uprooted the Xia clan from the imperial court, and it affected Xiaoba in this way. In the end, he was exiled by me to a remote feudal land, living a life that would be worse than death.

In the last life, Xiao Ba was the victim of Grand Master Xia in order to strengthen the Xia clan. How can I let him do what he wants in this life?I said directly: "Mother, I remember that there are several high-ranking and well-born ministers who have daughters who are waiting to be married at home. I will introduce them to Xiao Ba some other day."

Grand Master Xia originally wanted to recommend a girl from his own family, but he couldn't say anything because I blocked her back.The queen mother didn't respond to this, and said with great interest: "Why don't Ai's family invite those official ladies into the palace in a few days, and Ai's family will help Xiao Ba check it out first?"

Of course I agreed, "It's all according to the Queen Mother's wishes. If the Queen Mother likes it, Xiao Ba will definitely like it."

He Wenliu has been listening from the sidelines, and didn't interrupt anything. In fact, he couldn't interrupt either. He didn't know anything about the affairs of the court or the harem.I chatted with the queen mother for a while, and the queen mother saw that I was leaving with He Wenliu, so she asked Lan Mei to take out a purple glazed chain from the bedroom and gave her to He Wenliu.The queen mother said: "This chain was given to Ai's family by the first emperor when Ai's family was pregnant with the emperor's son. It was consecrated and used to suppress shock and protect the fetus. Ai's family heard that your pregnancy was unstable, so they took this chain. To pass it on to you, the prince must be given to the Ai family to give birth smoothly."

He Wenliu took the chain and thanked him quickly.

Sitting on the imperial chariot back to Qingluan Hall, He Wenliu was leaning in my arms, still playing with the glazed bracelet given to him by his mother, I pulled his wrist and said: "Give me your hand, I will put it on for you .”

He Wenliu was very obedient, and obediently stretched out his hand, asking me to put a chain on him, and I continued: "The queen mother is not lying, what she gave you is a good thing, it is said that when she was pregnant with me, she almost had a miscarriage. Because of wearing this bracelet, I was saved, and you should also save our child."

He Wenliu nodded like a chicken pecking rice. Although He Wenliu didn't say much, it could be seen from his usual actions that he had great expectations for the birth of this new life.

Recalling just now, the mother had already considered Xiao Ba's life-long event, two years earlier than in the previous life.I think if Xiao Ba didn't go back to the residence halfway, and in the Compassion Ning Palace, he knew that Grand Master Xia advised his mother to let him get married early, Xiao Ba would definitely scold Grand Master Xia in front of his mother.

Thinking of Xiao Ba reminded me of what He Wenliu said just now that He Wenwu mentioned Xiao Ba in his letter.So I asked He Wenliu: "Concubine Wen, what did General He say about Xiaoba in his letters?"

When He Wenliu was asked by me, he couldn't hold back, he hesitated for a long time and said: "Actually...it's nothing, he just said five words."

"Five words?" This is too little, what can I say, I will ask him again: "Which five words?"

He Wenliu stretched out a small hand in front of me, spread out five slender fingers, and said one by one: "Second Brother said, 'The Eighth Prince is good'."

I felt a little helpless when I heard it. Those five words were "How is the Eighth Prince?"Only two of the five words have practical meaning, which makes Xiao Ba so excited?I think even if I don't interfere, Xiao Ba's courtship is difficult enough.
