birth

In late October, the temple reward was finally held as scheduled.

Early that morning, the nuns who waited on the dressing could clearly feel that the emperor was in a good mood. After leaving the gate of the Yugan Palace, they were still discussing carefully, laughing and joking, and happened to run into Sheng Wanwan who came, and hurriedly Silently saluting, "Slaves and maidservants participate in sympathizing with concubines and empresses."

Sheng Wanwan glanced inside, but didn't see Xu Jia's shadow, so she lowered her head and asked, "Is the emperor still changing clothes in the inner hall?"

"Go back to your empress, the emperor has finished changing clothes, I just ordered..."

Mammy's voice was interrupted by a sharper voice, "My sister is really impatient. She came to the emperor early in the morning. I am really ashamed to be my elder sister."

Sheng Wanwan tightened her grip on the handkerchief, forced the smile on her face, turned around and saluted Concubine Hui, "My sister sees my sister."

Concubine Hui sneered at her, without even looking at her, "I don't dare to accept this gift, my sister has a dragon seed in her belly now. But my Concubine Hui's card is too small, I even invite my sister to sit in the palace. have no qualifications."

When Concubine Hui said this, she kept her eyes fixed on Sheng Wanwan's belly. Sensing her unfriendly gaze, Sheng Wanwan hesitated and took a small step back. She looked at Concubine Hui with fear and panic, and covered it with her sleeve. Stomach.

Concubine Hui stared at her sleeve for another two seconds, then chuckled lightly, raised her gaze, and said in a vague way, "Your sister is really protecting you." She covered her mouth gently with her hands pretending to be frightened, Taking a step forward, he said, "You must take good care of it, and don't be harmed by that caring person."

Her words successfully aroused all of Sheng Wanwan's fears. She had no heart and no thoughts in the city, and she knew very well that if the palace fights to favor her, she must be the one who loses, so she has been protecting the baby in her stomach with fear and sincerity. Child, stretched every thread to observe the surroundings, and now Concubine Hui just fiddled with one of them carefully, which made her terrified to the extreme.

As soon as Xu Jia went out, he encountered such a tense scene, rubbed his temples with a headache, and sighed softly in his heart, why did he bother to cause so much trouble for himself, it is obvious that Mo Xuling has no brows.Thinking of this, he told Xue Rongbao who was behind him, "Go to Mengshu Hall to see if His Royal Highness King Ke Yi is alive. Remember, you must take him to Lesi Temple in a safe manner."

After seeing him in the imperial garden last time, Xu Jia had already tried many ways to find Xiao Chengan, but Mo Xuling had no response. Could it be that even the blood of the Changsun family couldn't be summoned?

Will there be any reaction to this temple reward fair...

Xue Rongbao stepped back after receiving the order, and Xu Jia turned his attention to the two women in front of him. He glanced at Concubine Hui who was in peace, and at Sheng Wanwan who had nowhere to hide. Because of participating in the temple fair, Xu Jia's temper has improved a lot, he sighed, and beckoned to Sheng Wanwan, "Come here, tell me, what's wrong?"

Unexpectedly, before Sheng Wanwan came to him, she broke down in tears, "No...it's nothing, I just want to come and see the emperor, and if it's convenient, I can go to the temple with the emperor to participate in the temple reward."

Xu Jia pulled the handkerchief in her hand to wipe her tears, then turned her head and asked, "What about you? What are you doing here?"

Concubine Hui looked at Sheng Wanwan angrily, then at Xu Jia, glaring at him with her eyes, although she was reprimanded, but because she was wronged, it sounded more like a spoiled child, "I...I..."

Xu Jia raised his chin to her, closed his eyes and sighed, "Okay, I see, you are also here to participate in the temple appreciation with me."

As a result, three people were stuffed into the not-so-spacious carriage. On the one hand, he was meddling in his own business to save, and on the other hand, he was still unable to give up after teasing him.

Do evil, do evil.

On the Lesi Temple side, although preparations have been made one after another since a few days ago, Fuer and the others got up early and checked the inside and outside of the Lesi Temple from beginning to end to make sure What would go wrong made him heave a sigh of relief at the same time, but even so, Fu Er still told Pei Yu worriedly, "Today, the common people will come to the temple to pray, and General Lao Pei must lead troops to maintain order. Something went wrong."

Pei Yu lowered his head and said, "Please rest assured, Prime Minister."

Zhou Shun was standing there directing the hanging of the new temple plaque, when he suddenly heard a commotion not far away, he turned his head and said with a smile, "My lord, hearing this sound, the emperor is coming soon!"

Fuer's heart skipped a beat because of this sentence, and his palms sweated inexplicably nervously.The words "The Emperor said" in the past half month suddenly became real and close, and mixed with his thundering heartbeat, almost burned his reason.

But on the surface, he still gave a calm "hmm" and didn't make any further moves.It was Zhou Shun who reminded again, "My lord, don't we need to go out to greet him?"

This time, the three people slowed down and rushed towards the gate of the temple.

The Shenwu Army maintained order, and there was already a circle of people outside.Xu Jia got off from the carriage in the middle, followed by two attractive women, and the crowd broke out into a moderate discussion again.

"Ah, so beautiful, this is Concubine Hui and Concubine Min, right?"

"Hey? Which one is Concubine Min? Which one is Concubine Hui?"

"I guess, it must be the one in the purple dress, obviously the purple one looks better than the yellow one."

"That's right."

……

These words fell into Sheng Wanwan's ears without hesitation, but when she turned her head following the sound, she could only see a vast sea of ​​people. She could only bite her lip and looked away unwillingly. Concubine Hui turned her head to her side, raised the corners of her lips, and asked, "Sister, what are you looking for?"

Sheng Wanwan smirked, "No, my sister is overthinking."

She silently said a thousand times and ten thousand times in her heart that the emperor saved you just out of sympathy, don't think too much and don't fall into it, Sheng Wanwan, please be sober!But when she hears others unintentionally comparing her with Concubine Hui, she can't help but want to win; or when she looks up and sees Xu Jia's back, a ridiculous thought flashes through her mind: Will it be possible? ... In fact, the emperor saved me because he likes me?

After Xu Jia walked a few steps, he saw Fu Er who was rushing towards him. He was overjoyed, but his eager steps slowed down, and he stopped at the spot, waiting for Fu Er to come by himself.But for some unknown reason, Fuer's pace also slowed down, the joy on his face gradually dissipated, and he also stood not far away and just looked at him motionlessly.

For a moment, there were noisy crowds of people on both sides. They were only a few meters away, but no one took a step forward.

Noisy, hot sun, and you in front of me.

Zhou Shun's hurried footsteps stopped immediately, and he also stopped Pei Yu who was only thinking about rushing forward, and made a shush gesture, "Don't worry, wait a little longer."

Pei Yu didn't know what Zhou Shun was talking about, but he still instinctively stopped, "What are you waiting for?"

Zhou Shun smiled and looked up at him when he heard this, "Wait for your stupid tree to bloom."

After looking at each other for a few seconds, Xu Jia couldn't bear the itch in his heart, feeling that it wasn't enough.

Not enough, how can it be?

How can it be possible just by looking at it, he wants to hold her in his arms, and take advantage of the opportunity to coax and trick her into a face, that's enough.

But when he really walked in front of Fu Er, his movements slowed down instead, and he just asked dryly, "Brother, how are you doing these days?"

Before Fu'er could answer, Concubine Hui and Sheng Wanwan chased after him, standing one by one like two guardians, their eyes fell on Fu'er in unison.Fu Er couldn't stand such stares, he stepped aside and said, "Your Majesty, the temple rewards have been prepared, but it's just not the auspicious time, please ask your majesty to go to the side room to rest first."

Xu Jia's eyes staring at him became hot in an instant, and even the little awkwardness and embarrassment disappeared. He approached, as if he didn't hear what Fuer said just now, he just asked self-consciously, "What is your name?" Me what?"

Concubine Hui and Sheng Wanwan who were standing next to each other were at a loss. They didn't know where Xu Jia's anger came from, but they just stood still and didn't dare to move.Zhou Shun, who was not far away, saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he hurriedly came forward to smooth things over and said, "Your Majesty, the side room has been cleaned up, these two ladies are still waiting here, and several ministers are already waiting outside, just Waiting for your Majesty, why don't we move indoors now?"

Xu Jia's reason was pulled back by Zhou Shun, his throat rolled, and he withdrew his gaze, and said to Zhou Shun, "Lead the way."

Fu'er didn't go to the side room with them, but thought about going to the place where the banquet will be held later, and just when he was about to turn around, Xue Rongbao's voice came from behind, "Master Guoxiang!"

Xue Rongbao was followed by Mother Fang, who was about to wake up the sleeping Xiao Chengan when Fu Er stopped her, "Give me King Ke Yi, there is still some time before the temple reward, I will Take him down to rest for a while."

Mother Fang saluted and said, "No."

Fu Er hugged the sleeping Xiao Chengan, and went back to his room lightly.After putting Xiao Chengan on the bed and covering him with the quilt, he breathed a sigh of relief, and Xiao Chengan suddenly frowned and started to scratch in the air, shouting "Aniang, Aniang", and his legs began to move restlessly. The quilt kicked off.

Fuer panicked, quickly grabbed his hand waving wildly in the air, patted him lightly with the other hand, and softly comforted him, "An'an, An'an..."

But his slapping didn't calm Xiao Chengan down, he still looked like he had fallen into a nightmare, his body was covered in dense sweat, and the hand held by Fu'er was helplessly trying to grab something.

Fu Er landed on his knees, straightened his upper body and coaxed in Xiao Chengan's ear, "Aniang is here, Aniang is here, An'an, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

It seemed that after hearing the word "A Niang", Xiao Chengan's restless mood was calmed down, his frowning brows gradually loosened, and his breathing gradually became steady.Fu suddenly lost strength, his straight back relaxed, wiped the sweat from Xiao Chengan's forehead with his sleeve, and smiled knowingly.

At this moment, Xu Jia's light laughter suddenly came from behind him, his breath was so close that it almost swept across his neck, and with one hand, he brushed Fuer's hair, squatted down and whispered in his ear, "Brother really wants to be Xiao Chengan's mother."

Fu Dun regained consciousness in an instant, turned his head and leaned his back against the side of the bed, distanced himself from him, and whispered, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Isn't it? Some time ago, my brother begged me to adopt Xiao Chengan under your name." Xu Jia leaned forward, "Now I'm talking about my mother here again. Could it be that I made a mistake?"

Fu Er seemed to be really angry, "Xu Jia!"

Xu Jia scratched Fu'er's face with his finger, and his eyes stayed with the finger, "Or is it that brother doesn't want to be Xiao Chengan's mother, but just wants to marry me?"

Following these words, Fu Er's hand raised up, and it was about to fall on Xu Jia's face, but he turned his palm again and landed on Xu Jia's chest.He seemed to be extremely annoyed and pushed Xu Jia to the ground, then stood up. In the seemingly infinite silence, his anger was gradually replaced by plain seriousness, "Xu Jia, don't say such things."

Xu Jia put his backhand on the ground, "What kind? I haven't seen you in half a month, but my brother completely forgot about me."

"What did you call me just now? Heh, Your Majesty?" He straightened up, sat on the ground and looked up at Fu Er, his mind was blank, his mouth just wanted to express his courage, "Then the Emperor is asking you now, do you want to marry him? It’s still my elder brother’s favorite thing about the Golden House Cangjiao, I can…”

Fuer just glanced at him forbearingly, opened the door and left without waiting for a second.

Xu Jia sat on the ground, first smiled lightly, then covered his face with his hands and smiled, and finally punched the floor again.But he still felt that the anger all over his body had no place to vent, and after sitting blankly for a few seconds, he raised his fist and hit himself hard on the face.

Xu Jia, what the hell were you talking about just now?

You obviously wanted to talk about it, but why did you make things so bad?

Missing him for half a month is like an absurd drama of him alone. He misses him every night, thinks of him every day, and thinks of ways to let Xue Rongbao pass on a message to make him happy every day, and he doesn't mind putting his thoughts on him. It was the first time I tried to love someone and trust someone, clumsily and cautiously, but I still messed up.

The appearance of Fu Er standing distantly on one side and calling him "the emperor" appeared before his eyes again, and the angry appearance of Fu Er Zhang standing up just now is still vivid in his memory, Xu Jia's back slowly arched into a small shrimp, and his heart was like It was filled with mercury, he thought helplessly, Xu Jia, Xu Jia, what are you dreaming about up to now?

Fuer was really angry this time, those frivolous words stepped on the most secret corner of his heart, a corner that he didn't even notice.It was as if someone had discovered the little thoughts that he had secretly hidden, so he became angry like a rabbit whose tail had been stepped on.Clenching the hand hanging by his side, he silently recited the Purifying Mantra in his heart, forcibly suppressing all the distracting thoughts in his heart, but his arms were still trembling uncontrollably.

The abbot didn't know when he came up to him, twirled the prayer beads, said "Amitabha", then sighed, and said, "Abandonment is not tolerated by the Tao, and it is also the mouth of the Tao."

Fuer opened his eyes and looked at him blankly.

The abbot stood side by side with him, looking in the direction he was looking at just now, "If the little Zen beads given to the Prime Minister of the country that day are too distressing, then return them to the poor monk."

Fuer lowered his head and stood silently.
