[Red House] Raiders of life

An's and Jia Shi's friendship was good in the early years, and they often came and went.After the imperial edict, Jia Shishi went to An's residence.

The next day, An entered the palace again, and couldn't help but sigh to Lin Ning.

"She was not like this when she was young. I remember that when I just married your father, because I have been in the palace for a long time, I am not very familiar with the wives outside, so she took me to socialize and make friends. Why now..." An Shi sighed, "I went to Jinling with your father, and when I came back, I heard a lot about their parents and children. If the five fingers are long or short, it's normal to be biased. After all, no one's heart grows in the middle. Ah. But she did this..."

An Shi sighed again, "It's usually a grandson. Jia Lian got such a good thing. She didn't say she was happy for him, but the boss came to me unwillingly, and wanted Jia Zhu to take Jia Lian's place. , I want to study with the prince and be a playmate. The fifth prince is young this year, so he naturally wants to find someone who is older than him. If he is as old as him, he is afraid that children will be too playful, and the two of them will only care about playing when they are together Yes. Older people can know how good it is, and they won't lead the fifth prince to do things that cannot be done.

But in the end, the age should be appropriate.It's good that Jia Lian is three years older than the fifth prince, but Jia Zhu is thirteen.It's not a child anymore, it's half a teenager.The relationship with the fifth prince is far away regardless of academics and mentality, and it is difficult to get together with the fifth prince as a companion.If the Fifth Prince doesn't like it, isn't it good for both parties? "

Lin Ning took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "The emperor's will, the name of Jia Lian, can she change it if she wants?"

An Shi shook her head, "Forget it, I have already rejected her. Don't talk about this, I came to the palace this time to ask you, I heard Zhen Gui is pregnant?"

Zhen Guiren was talking about Zhen Ling.Because she was found pregnant, she was promoted to nobleman.Also because she has a rich belly now, she is very proud in the palace, it seems that the cautiousness she had when she first entered the palace has almost been lost.

"I have pets and children now, but it's different from those who have no children and no pets. Mother doesn't have to worry about me."

An Shi breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm afraid that you will fight for this leisure."

Lin Ning chuckled, "Mom thinks too much. I'm fine. Did Jinling say anything to mother?"

"That's it, daily greetings and letters, and nothing else."

"That's fine too."

An Shi also nodded.In the past, when they were in one place, it was just a matter of saving face, not to mention that now they are separated from each other, it is just to maintain the nominal filial piety of mother and son.

********

In another four years, Tu Mingzhou has grown from a child to an 11-year-old boy.Lin Ning has also been promoted step by step, and has been named Concubine Zhen.Although they are both concubines, there is still a difference between this concubine and the four concubines.

In Mingcui Palace, Lin Ning was making ice bowls with his own hands.Although it was with his own hands, it was nothing more than commanding with his hands on his hips.With her body that is about to give birth now, how dare the two Yuzhan and Yuzhi let her do it?If it wasn't for Lin Ning's insistence, these two would have wanted her to lie on the bed every day and become a bodhisattva.

That's right!Lin Ning is pregnant!

In this regard, Lin Ning said that everything is for the mission!

Tu Mingzhou was taken aback as soon as he entered the room. He hurriedly stepped forward and carefully helped Lin Ning to sit down. He wiped off his sweat, "Mother and concubine, you can do as long as you want. If you let the emperor see this, you will not be able to see it." Maybe both my son and sister Yuzhi Yuzhan will be scolded. My younger brother will come out soon, so you can't calm down."

Lin Ning glared at him, raised a roasted chestnut and knocked on his forehead, "How do you talk, it's not big or small!"

Tu Mingzhou laughed and laughed to accompany him.Jia Lian watched with a smile on the side, but she couldn't help being envious and jealous in her heart.His mother passed away not long after he was born, and he has never seen his mother since he could remember in this life, even he has a stepmother, but the stepmother is not close to him, except for the daily greetings, there is no tenderness.Before he was ten years old, even though he felt a bit sad, but he lived a muddle-headed life, and he was never touched much.

After he was ten years old, he followed Tu Mingzhou. Although Tu Mingzhou always liked to tease him and often deliberately crushed him in martial arts classes, he didn't have any malicious intentions.In the past four years as a companion, he has learned a lot. Although he is not outstanding in civil and military affairs, he has also been evaluated by the princes and masters as "passable".In particular, he gained a lot of knowledge.

He knew the delicate status of himself and his father in the mansion, and knew the selfishness of the second room and the old lady.Such an obvious thing, but he was taught to take it for granted when he was a child?

Jia Lian's hands hidden in his sleeves trembled unconsciously, seeing the scene where Lin Ning and Tu Mingzhou's mother and son were intimate, felt more and more pain in his heart.Although he doesn't have a mother, he has a father and a grandmother, but his father and grandmother... don't worry about it.

This kind of family affection that looks very ordinary in Tu Mingzhou, he has never had in his life.However, at least he still has three or two friends, as well as Tu Mingzhou...

Although Tu Mingzhou often punished him secretly, it was between the two of them, and if there were outsiders around, it would be extremely protective.In the year when he first entered the palace, the eldest prince made things difficult for him, and Tu Mingzhou punched the eldest prince, causing all three of them to be punished.Afterwards, they learned to use their hands and feet secretly, always making the eldest prince deflated in martial arts class.

Probably because of this, the two have some revolutionary friendship.Later, knowing that he was not taken seriously in Jia's mansion, and was even treated coldly, Tu Mingzhou went to Jia's mansion to show off his might repeatedly, to show his affection and make a face for him.So much so that now, no matter what the old lady and Erfang think, they always have to favor him in order to save face.

Look, the flesh and blood of a close relative is not as good as a person who has no blood relationship.

Jia Lian's nose was sore, and she couldn't hold back the tears.

Tu Mingzhou pulled him over and took a seat, and said: "I heard that your second wife gave birth to a son with a jade title? Has it spread throughout the capital?"

Jia Lian showed a wry smile, unable to speak.Born with jade?If it is auspicious, why was such auspiciousness not born in the emperor's family?How can such a miracle be known to everyone?But in the mansion, I was afraid that others would not know, so I told everyone I met.He can't say even half a word of objection.But a word of warning, on the contrary, the old lady and Wang's complained a lot.

Tu Mingzhou cocked his eyebrows and snorted, "So you've become the family's sweetheart, phoenix egg, right?"

"Hey!" Jia Lian sighed, and after a long sigh, he didn't know what to say.

"They didn't care about you, did they?"

Jia Lian chuckled, "You went to the mansion to have two fights, such a big battle, how dare they do anything to me? I wanted the Qiluanzhai on the west side of the main hall to be the outer study. They had a long conversation, left and right They were all unwilling, and later the old lady told the eldest lady that she would give me half of the unused parts of my father's outer academy. I only heard later that Qiluzhai was close to the old lady's Chuhuamen, and they wanted to keep it for Baoyu. How old is Baoyu now? But the baby is less than two months old, and you want to make him a study?"

Tu Mingzhou slapped the table, "Go! I'll support you!"

Jia Lian didn't move, and said with a smile: "Why do you need to go to such a trivial matter? You can rest assured that I am not the person I used to be. Is it worthy to be your reading companion?"

Hearing what he said, Tu Mingzhou knew that he had already settled it, so he sat back down again.

Jia Lian said again: "I've refurbished and tidied up the outer study, and when it's finished, I'll invite you to come and play."

Tu Mingzhou agreed, and the ice bowl was ready.Tu Mingzhou grabbed a bowl by himself, Lin Ning glared at the brat, took another ice bowl of grape juice and handed it to Jia Lian, "Eat it."

Tu Mingzhou had already eaten very bluntly, and still did not forget to praise, "Mother's concubine's craftsmanship is good. It is the most refreshing to eat in the midsummer heat. I also poured various fruit juices. Mufei, next time I want watermelon .”

Lin Ning frowned, "Who are you praising? I didn't do anything, these are all Yuzhi's handicrafts."

Tu Mingzhou disapproved with a hippie smile, "That's also the orderly command of the mother and concubine."

Lin Ning chuckled, this clever mouth didn't know who it was, it was good at talking.

Jia Lian looked at it with a smile, and felt that the cold and refreshing taste in his stomach also had a taste of "home".

Lin Ning looked at the two young boys eating with gusto and was very greedy, but unfortunately she is now heavy, and the imperial doctor does not need such cold food.Everyone around her is now taking the words of the imperial physician as an imperial decree, which is more useful than Tu Yuanhai's Jinkou.

Yuzhi Yuzhan watched closely, especially Tu Mingzhou.

Lin Ning sighed, just thinking about whether to discuss with Yuzhi and let her taste it.But for such a short time, I only felt a pain in my abdomen, followed by very rhythmic contractions.The warm liquid flowed down from the trousers, Lin Ning looked startled, and subconsciously grabbed the hand of Yuzhi who was waiting beside him.

Yuzhi Gaosheng shouted: "The empress is about to give birth!"

This sentence called all the maids who were waiting outside, because these days are the expected date of delivery, the imperial doctor has already explained it, and everyone in the palace is prepared, the side hall has already set up a delivery room, and everyone carried Lin Ning there in an orderly manner Those who are called Wen Po are called Wen Po, those who invite imperial physicians invite imperial physicians, and those who boil hot water are too busy to do so.

Only Tu Mingzhou and Jia Lian were dumbfounded, they had seen such battles before.Tu Mingzhou came back to his senses, and rushed to the delivery room. Fortunately, Jia Lian had experienced Jia Baoyu's background, better than Tu Mingzhou, and reached out to stop him, "You can't go in! Go outside and wait, don't make trouble!"

Tu Mingzhou was so anxious that he couldn't help it, but the last three words "don't make trouble" calmed him down.

After all this, Jia Lian didn't want to stay any longer, so he found a free time to say goodbye to Tu Mingzhou.Tu Mingzhou didn't think about it at all, he waved his hand casually, and sent his personal eunuch to send Jia Lian out, he stood in the courtyard and looked forward to it, but he didn't see anything, he walked closer and closer unconsciously, lying on the bed on the door.

"Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine, are you okay? Mother Concubine, can you hear me? Mother Concubine?"

When Tu Yuanhai received the news and rushed over, he saw Tu Mingzhou's shape like a pug dog. He couldn't laugh or cry, so he twisted him over and handed him to Li Huaiyi, "Send the fifth prince back!"

Tu Mingzhou hugged Tu Yuanhai's waist subconsciously, "I won't leave! Father, my son won't leave!"

Now that he is taller, stronger, and has a small skill in martial arts, he hugged Tu Yuanhai tightly and refused to let go. Tu Yuanhai really couldn't do anything with him, and said angrily: "How grown up, why are you still the same as when you were a child?" , so reckless! Is it time for you to be willful?"

Tu Mingzhou hugged him even tighter, "I won't leave! I'll be crap! I'll be crap!"

Tu Yuanhai didn't cry, nor did he laugh.However, she was a little happy about his intimacy.His sons were not rare, but Tu Mingzhou was the only one who would act coquettishly and bully him like ordinary people.

Tu Yuanhai sighed, "That's all, let's stay."

Tu Mingzhou didn't expect that he would succeed so easily, and he couldn't believe it when he opened his eyes.Tu Yuanhai reprimanded: "Hurry up and let go, what does this look like!"

Tu Mingzhou rolled in Tu Yuanhai's arms before letting go.

When it comes to giving birth to a child, Lin Ning is the first time a big girl gets on a bridal sedan chair.But Zhen Guifei was born and raised in the original book.So Lin Ning didn't suffer much.Primiparas have toss for a long time, but multiparas are much easier.In particular, Lin Ning paid special attention during her pregnancy. There was nothing wrong with this baby. At dusk, she only heard a cry.

The twelve princes of the Great Wei Dynasty were born!
