Gluttonous Crown Princess - Chapter 133
Tao Ti groaned when he heard the news of Emperor Zhaokang’s vomiting blood.
Lu’s also felt bad, Zhang went to Xingqing Palace on the front foot, and he vomited blood on the back foot. Could it be that she vomited blood from the emperor’s qi?
Lu Shi had no doubt about Zhang’s ability to speak out.
“Ati, I’ll go and see with you.”
“Okay.” Tao Ti replied, and there was an elder beside her, and she could feel calm in her heart.
Looking at the little **** who reported the letter, she asked, “Is someone there to notify your Majesty?”
The little **** replied, “Your Majesty has gone to Xingqing Palace after hearing the news.”
Tao Ti nodded, tidied it up, put on the azure embroidered magnolia blossom cloak, and went out together with Lu’s.
Standing and wandering outside, Zhang suddenly heard a general “Your Majesty’s Arrival”, stopped in his footsteps, slightly adjusted his clothes, and stepped forward to greet him a little embarrassingly.
Pei Yan wore a black brocade robe with dark gold cloud patterns, tailored appropriately, and he became more upright and tall, with a magnificent appearance. He took off the black cloak from his body, and said warmly to Zhang, “Mother-in-law does not have to be polite.”
Zhang slowly stood up straight and said dryly, “The Supreme Emperor is lying in it, and the imperial doctor is already treating him.”
When Li Gui heard the movement, he raised the curtain to welcome him.
Pei Yan didn’t say much to the Zhang family, and saw Emperor Zhaokang in the first room.
On the bed, Emperor Zhaokang was closing his eyes, his straight brows were slightly wrinkled, his face was pale with gray, and he was lying quietly.
He has changed into a clean robe, and the blood-stained robe and handkerchief are placed in a black wooden tray on one side. According to the blood-stained area, it can be seen that a lot of blood has been vomited.
The imperial doctor had already seen Emperor Zhaokang, and seeing Pei Yan coming, he lowered his eyes and asked Pei Yan to speak outside.
Pei Yan glanced at Emperor Zhaokang, who was described as haggard, on the couch, and calmly told Li Gui, “Haosheng is looking after the emperor.”
He walked outside with the imperial doctor, and said, “Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor is a disease of stagnation of liver qi and anxious heart attack.”
Zhang heard it next to him, touched his nose, and asked with some guilty conscience, “Is there a serious problem?”
The imperial physician said, “There is no major problem at the moment. Liver qi stagnation is exhausted by the mind. If the mind is incomprehensible, it is not conducive to physical recovery… Therefore, it is necessary to find the cause of the troubles of the Emperor to be treated fundamentally.”
Pei Yan was thoughtful, pondered for a moment, and whispered to the imperial doctor, “First, grab some symptomatic medicinal materials and treat them to the Supreme Emperor.”
The imperial doctor responded, and went on writing prescriptions for medicine.
Pei Yanqingjun’s face was always faint. He looked at Zhang and his voice was golden and cold.
His attitude was polite, and he couldn’t fault it, but the awe-inspiring aura emanating from his body was more than that of Emperor Zhaokang.
Zhang’s heart didn’t realize that Pei Yan had such a compelling aura before, and it really became different when he became the emperor.
She was a little uncomfortable, “I, I and the Supreme Emperor have mentioned some things in the past.”
Pei Yan raised his eyebrows, “I don’t know what’s the matter?”
Before Zhang’s answer, Tao Ti and Lu’s figure appeared in front of the court, and the two hurried over.
When he saw Tao Ti, Pei Yan’s eyes softened a lot, as if a hedgehog had put away all the thorns, only showing her soft side.
“Your Majesty, how is the Supreme Emperor? Why did you vomit blood so well? Is it a serious problem?” Tao Ti asked.
“It’s not a big problem.” Pei Yan naturally held her hand, his tone of voice was lowered a bit, “As for the reason, I am asking mother-in-law.”
For a time, Pei Yan, Tao Ti and Lu’s eyes gathered on Zhang’s body.
Zhang, “…”
She pursed her lips and explained, “I told the Supreme Emperor about the life experience of the eldest prince, and then I came out… he couldn’t accept the truth by himself, so he was so angry that he vomited blood.”
With that said, she retelled the dialogue and scene vividly.
Tao Ti obviously felt that the hand that Pei Yan was holding her was vigorously, her eyebrows moved slightly, and she raised her eyes to the person beside her.
I saw that his jaw line was distinct, and the deep black eyes under his long and slender eyelashes were like a pool of water, and all his emotions were concealed.
Tao Ti thought to himself, when he heard the truth at first, his mood was also very complicated.
She took a step towards him and whispered “Your Majesty”.
Pei Yan regained his consciousness and lowered his eyes to look at her, “Huh?”
Tao Ti smiled, his voice was very soft and soft, “Shall we go in and see the Supreme Emperor?”
As she said, she looked at Zhang and Lu, who were a little disturbed, and said warmly, “Mother, Aunt Lu, it’s getting late now, so let’s go out of the palace first.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang’s and Lu’s were relieved, and they were busy responding.
Pei Yan didn’t say much, and only asked Fu Xirui to send them out.
As soon as Zhang and Lu left, Tao Ti didn’t pretend to be dignified and calm, her small face suddenly collapsed, and she looked at Pei Yan aggrievedly, “You hurt me.”
As he said, he raised his right hand to his eyes.
Pei Yan lowered his eyes and saw that there was a pinched red mark on the white and tender little hand. A touch of self-blame flashed in his eyes, and he whispered, “Blame me.”
Tao Ti blinked at him, and said as if she was possessed by her body, and said coquettishly, “It won’t hurt for the kiss.”
If a woman who is acting like a baby is the best life, then the sweetheart’s acting like a baby is simply fatal.
Pei Yan stared at her Shui Lingling’s eyes, and his throat rolled up and down. After a while, he held her hand piously and solemnly, and dropped a kiss gently.
The kiss was very light, and his lips were soft and slightly cool.
But at the moment he raised his eyes, Tao Ti’s cheeks became hot.
Oops, I want to be sultry instead of being slapped.
No matter how much she has the chance to fall in love, it can’t match Pei Yan’s “beautiful and murderous” look.
“Does it still hurt?” he asked solemnly.
“No, it doesn’t hurt anymore.”
She withdrew her hand like abandoning her armor, and tore off his sleeve. “Let’s go, let’s see the Supreme Emperor.”
As soon as he entered the inner hall, Emperor Zhaokang was already awake, and Li Gui was waiting for him to drink water.
Seeing his son and daughter-in-law, his expression was faint, “I am fine, don’t worry.”
Tao Ti said a few words of concern, and then sat next to Pei Yan, obediently as a saw-mouthed gourd.
There was not much to talk between the father and the son, and they talked dryly.
Not long after, Emperor Zhaokang said, “The day after tomorrow will be the post-approval ceremony. You should have a lot of work to do, so go ahead. I don’t have any trouble here. Don’t spread the blood vomiting to the outside world, so as to avoid Yushitai. While eating and holding on, come and pick the wrong place between you two. Hmph, those guys are the most annoying.”
Pei Yan responded respectfully, and then took Tao Ti to leave first.
As for the eldest prince, everyone tacitly didn’t mention it.
What’s the use of mentioning it? In addition to letting Emperor Zhaokang vomit a few more blood.
Coming out of Xingqing Palace, the sky was dimly light, the cold wind was blowing on the bare branches, and the remnant snow fell from the branches.
Pei Yan directly accompanied Tao Ti back to Weiyang Palace. Dinner was prepared by the Imperial Dining Room. Tao Ti’s small kitchen only made a lamb pie, which is the leftover meat from the lamb hot pot at noon. It’s just right to make a plate of pie. .
The pie is very simple. Chop the lamb, shallots, onions, carrots, mushrooms, etc. together into fillings, season them appropriately, use bread well, press them into palm-sized round cakes with a suitable thickness, and then put them on a frying pan. . The white lard melts on the hot pan and touches the soft dough. After a while, the white tender and soft dough will fry into a beautiful and attractive browned yellow.
Change the baking on both sides, and sprinkle a layer of white sesame seeds before starting the pan to increase the fragrance and look good.
“Your Majesty, this mutton pie should be eaten while it is hot, and it will become fat when it is cold.” Tao Ti picked up the hot pie and delivered it to his mouth.
Pei Yan nodded, picked up a burnt and crispy pie, praised, “This pie is really fragrant, and the scent of lamb and the fragrance of the face come out.”
Tao Ti took a big bite and said vaguely, “That’s for sure, don’t underestimate the pie, it also requires skill.”
Pei Yan likes to watch her triumphantly curl her tail, curled her eyes, and said warmly, “I don’t dare to underestimate my queen.”
Tao Ti was stunned for a moment when he was called by this name, and when he reacted, she shrugged and said, “I am used to being called a princess, but suddenly changing my slogan to queen is a bit strange.”
“Listen more and get used to it.”
After Pei Yan said, he took a bite of the pie. The crust of the pie is fried and crispy, and it clicks when you bite it. The oily aroma and the soup sauce of the filling are fully infiltrated into the crust, making the taste rich. After eating the meat filling, it is really salty, delicious and juicy. The taste of the ingredients of carrot, onion and mushrooms completely removes the mutton smell, instead brewing a light sweetness.
This tastes really good.
After busying with tedious government affairs for an afternoon, Pei Yan was also hungry. After eating one, he picked up another one.
Tao Ti, who had eaten the cakes, suddenly stopped chewing and frowned.
Pei Yan noticed her strangeness, and two thick eyebrows were also wrinkled, and said concerned, “Ati, what’s wrong?”
Tao Ti pursed her lips, swallowed the cake in her mouth, and squeezed out a reluctant smile, “It’s okay, it’s probably because I ate too quickly and felt nauseous.”
“Then don’t eat it. This pie is greasy. You can drink some tofu fish ball soup and press it down.” He wiped his hands with the kerchief and scooped the soup for Tao Ti himself.
Tao Ti saw that he had eaten more than half of the pie, and said, “There is still so much left. It’s good to eat, and it’s not a waste.”
After that, just send it to your mouth.
But this time, she dared to take a bite of the meat, and she suddenly changed her complexion, put the pie, and leaned to the side, “Oh–”
She opened her mouth, looking like she wanted to vomit but couldn’t.
Pei Yan was also shocked, and quickly walked to her side, patted her back smoothly with one hand, “What’s wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?”
Tao Ti’s heart was full of doubts: Why did the feeling of vomiting suddenly disappear? It’s really strange. I only ate two cakes, so I don’t want to vomit, right? Is it because I have been in the human body for a long time, and my appetite has also deteriorated?
“Ati?”
“Ah.” Tao Ti returned to his senses and said softly to Pei Yan’s worried black eyes, “Your Majesty, don’t worry, I’m fine, I just felt like vomiting a little bit earlier, probably because I was eating.”
“Want to vomit?”
Pei Yan’s dark eyes moved slightly, thoughtfully, “I’m going to let you see the imperial doctor.”
Tao Ti shook her head, “This night, it’s dark and cold outside, so don’t worry about it. I’m really fine. Just eat some hawthorn slices to get tired of it later.”
Pei Yan pursed his lips without saying a word, poured a glass of warm water and handed it to her.
Seeing her holding a cup to drink slowly, he asked, “In addition to nausea, have you had any sleepiness or fatigue recently?”
“It must be the most comfortable in the quilt in the winter.”
“Then when did you come back to Guishui?”
Tao Ti, “…?”
Pei Yan stared at her scorchingly, his eyebrows were full of concentration and earnestness.
Tao Ti laughed embarrassedly, counting the days in his mind, and muttered, “It seems to be… the middle of the twelfth lunar month?”
Linglong on one side couldn’t help but reminded, “The empress, it’s the thirteenth of the twelfth lunar month.”
Tao Ti’s eyes rolled around, “Yes, it seems to be this day.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Pei Yan’s eyes popping out like night pearls that had been polished.
Pei Yanyi grasped her hand, her face was not emotional, but her tone was a little urging, “Linglong, go to the Taiyuan Hospital for an imperial doctor.”
Linglong’s eyebrows couldn’t hide her joy, and she hurriedly responded, and went out excitedly.
Tao Ti, who is still immersed in the loss of “his appetite has degenerated to such a field”, only feels that the sadness cannot be stopped.
How shameful it is that the dignified gluttony is reduced to just two pieces of pie and it can be vomited!
Pei Yan was also unsure whether it would be empty and happy. Seeing the little girl beside him was still ignorant of the situation, and did not explain to her, only let the palace man bring the candied fruit box.
He chose sweet and sour Huamei and delivered it to her mouth, “Open your mouth.”
Tao Ti opened his mouth and ate.
If it was sweet and sour, Mei immediately suppressed the discomfort she had just felt. After eating one, she ate another one, still muttering in her mouth, “I don’t feel sour enough.”
Pei Yan’s heart beat faster, his lips tightened, and his expression remained calm.
Not long after, the imperial doctor came braving the cold wind.
Salute and greet, take a veil to get your pulse.
The imperial doctor showed joy, and hurriedly dusted his robes, smiling and congratulating the empress on the warm couch, “We congratulate your majesty, congratulations to the empress, empress, this is a good pulse, and it has been more than a month.”
Happy pulse.
In an instant, the palace people all over the room bowed down, and congratulations sounded in unison.
Pei Yan’s eyebrows slowly unfolded, the smile in his eyes deepened, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t hide his smile.
In the congratulatory voice, he squeezed Tao Ti’s hand tightly, his eyes were deep and gentle, and his nice voice had some subtle tremors, “Ati, we are going to have a baby.”
Tao Ti realized afterwards, “!!!”
She took a deep breath, widened her eyes, and looked at Pei Yan in shock.
Pei Yan raised his hand and rubbed her hair, focused on her head, which counted as an affirmative answer.
Pei Yan asked Fu Xirui to give a reward to the entire Weiyang Palace, and the doctor who saw the doctor received a large reward, and he smiled so hard that he couldn’t see the teeth.
For a while, Weiyang Palace was beaming up and down.
Late at night, when Pei Yan came back from the bath, seeing Tao Ti still sitting on the bedside in a daze, he walked over slowly.
He arched his slender fingers, tapped her forehead lightly, and smiled, “Have you recovered?”
Tao Ti raised her jet black eyes to look at him, and caressed her flat abdomen unconsciously, “I really have a baby?”
Pei Yan nodded, “Yes, you are going to be a mother.”
Hearing this, Tao Ti bit her lip, his two thin, black eyebrows furrowed, and a gleam of water gradually appeared in his eyes.
Pei Yan smiled stiffly, panicked and worried, put his arms around her and asked, “What’s wrong? Is there anything wrong?”
Tao Ti didn’t speak, but threw himself in his arms with a “wow” and started crying.
Pei Yan’s pupils shrank sharply, and the king who had always been calm and prudent, became flustered like never before, holding her softly and coaxing, “Ati, don’t cry, what’s the matter, don’t you scare me…”
Tao Ti’s face was rubbed against his chest, and howling dry for a long time, and gradually became tired of crying, and then changed to sobbing.
Looking at the tender shoulders that twitched in her arms, Pei Yan only felt that a heart twitched with her.
He held her small face in both hands, her white small face was a little red from crying under the warm yellow candlelight, her eyes were foggy, and there were crystal tears on her eyelashes.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Pei Yan frowned, wishing to give her his life, as long as she stopped crying.
“What’s the matter? Are you wronged or feel uncomfortable? Tell me, I will solve it for you.”
He gently wiped away her tears, “Everyone is crying like a cat with a cheeky face.”
After crying, Tao Ti’s mood stabilized, and she wiped her face with her kerchief.
Pei Yan stared at her, “Ati, are you unhappy that this child is coming?”
“Happy is happy.” After all, this is her and Pei Yan’s child.
She had thought about their children before. When they grow up, they will definitely be a beautiful man or a beautiful woman. After all, Pei Yan’s appearance is so high that she can’t compare to him, but it’s not bad!
only–
Tao Ti sniffed and looked at him with wet eyes, crying, “Besides being happy, I’m also nervous and afraid…”
The unknown is always frightening.
When Pei Yan heard her words, he immediately understood. The joy gradually calmed down.
He found that he was so selfish, only caring about the arrival of the child, but ignoring the hardship and fear she was about to endure.
A deep apology surged in his eyes, and he hugged her and said, “I blame me for making you suffer.”
After a moment of silence, he said, “In this way, during pregnancy, if the child makes you feel uncomfortable in any way, you can pinch me, beat me, and let me hurt with you.”
Tao Ti was shocked, “Huh?”
But Pei Yan is serious and serious, “I can’t give birth to you, so I can only think of such a way. The child is the child of both of us, so you can’t suffer and suffer by yourself, but I don’t suffer from any crime. unfair.”
Tao Ti was amused by him like this, “How can it be counted like this. I hit you, my pain will not be less…”
Pei Yan fell into a helpless silence.
Before that, he had never thought about giving birth carefully, only that it was a great joy to have a baby.
But thinking about it now, I just feel that men really take too much advantage in the matter of fertility.
He felt sorry for his little girl more and more.
With a sigh, Pei Yan hugged her into her arms and put her chin against her soft hair, “Ati, you have worked so hard. After giving birth to this, we won’t have another baby.
Don’t be afraid, don’t worry, although I can’t bear the physical pain for you, but other than that, serving tea, handing water, squeezing your shoulders, squeezing your back, or other things, as soon as I do it, I’ll take care of it. you. ”
Listening to his words, Tao Ti gradually settled down, and the fear and tension gradually dissipated.
“Your Majesty, I’m not afraid.” She raised her head, reached out and touched his frowning eyebrows, and whispered, “Don’t frown, this is a happy event.”
Pei Yan squeezed her hand, put her lips to kiss, and said gently, “It’s fine if you are not afraid. If you are afraid in the future, or if you are in a bad mood, tell me, don’t hold it in your heart, I will be there for everything. .”
Tao Ti nodded, and suddenly had infinite courage.
After that heart-warming hurdle, she quickly became cheerful. Putting his hand on his stomach, he couldn’t help but guess the man and woman.
Seeing her smile again, Pei Yan let go of her strained heart, and smiled, “No matter whether it is a man or a woman, as long as it is the flesh and blood of you and me, I am happy and treat it as a treasure.”
The two talked and laughed again, and then went to bed to rest.
In the darkness, Tao Ti nestled in Pei Yan’s warm embrace and called out in a soft voice, “Your Majesty.”
Pei Yan stroked her hair lightly, “Huh?”
“Actually, the queen mother loves you.” The mother queen in her mouth refers to Queen Gu.
Pei Yan’s movements stopped.
“Aunt Lu told me a lot today. She said that when her mother was pregnant with you, she would not only have a cold face when she sees her father, she would often touch her belly to talk to you in private, and she would make small clothes and small hats for you by herself. …Also, every time you fell ill when you were a child, your mother and queen would stay by your side and take care of you personally.”
“Aunt Lu also said that you are a piece of meat that fell from the back of the mother, and the mother and the child are connected. The mother and the queen are not confused. If you are wronged, you will have a debt, and if you have resentment, you will be innocent. How can you be innocent The child was angry. It’s just that the queen mother really couldn’t hold it back at that time, so she could only leave you with the pain…Oh yes, it was because she remembered you that she would make an early marriage contract between you and me… some kind In the sense, it is considered as entrusting you to my mother? How much can she take care of you.”
Speaking of this, Tao Ti’s emotions have also become complicated.
From this perspective, she seemed to understand some of the reasons why Zhang insisted on this marriage in the first place.
The friend’s request was too heavy, and Zhang couldn’t let it go.
Alas, things in the world appear differently from different angles.
With the lessons learned from the two mothers, Queen Gu and Zhang, Tao Ti thought that she would work hard to be a good mother, just like the warmth and love her parents once gave her.
After listening to Tao Ti’s words, Pei Yan’s eyebrows moved slightly, but his eyes kept closed.
“I won’t talk about the past anymore,” he said.
After a while, he lay down on Tao Ti’s side, gently moved his warm palm to her abdomen, covering it, and the warmth of his palm was transferred to the skin, which was warm and quite comfortable.
He smelled the sweet scent of her body, his voice low, “I promise, our children will grow up in love.”
Tao Ti raised the corners of his mouth, hugged his waist, and gave a lazy smile.
