Chapter 108 Lotus Soup 3

I thought about it again and again, and I still want Muyan to help me call Nian'er in. Nian'er looked calm and knew what I wanted to ask. She shook her head at me: "The Shang Food Bureau has never had this rule. I also took her to the Shang Food Bureau. The Shang Food Bureau said that she was not from the Shang Food Bureau at all. It's annoying that this maid of honor ordered the Shangshi Bureau to make lotus seed soup every night in your name. I asked her real origin, and she also insisted that you ordered it.

Muyan was a little angry: "It seems that this maid of honor is really a protector. Where is she now?"

Nian'er said, "She insisted on saying so, so I had to let her go."

Muyan couldn't calm down and turned back to me and said, "Who always wants to harm my sister? Who else will be in this palace besides Wei Zhaoxun!" I grabbed her and said, "It hasn't come to light yet. Don't make such a judgment." Muyan pouted, turned her eyes angrily and suddenly paused, and whispered, "Isn't it that woman? Sister..." She panicked and took my palm and sweated. I was also slightly stunned by her reminder. I patted her hand to comfort her not to be afraid. At the same time, she turned her head and said, "You pay attention secretly. When I think of a way, I will call her over."

Nian'er didn't know who the woman in Ye Ying's mouth was. Although it was strange, she didn't ask me, but nodded to me and agreed. At this time, a maid came to report outside the palace, and Li Shimin came. Muyan put away her panicked look, stood in the hall with Li Shimin, who entered the hall, and then retreated together.

Li Shimin stepped to my bed with a bright smile and looked at the child in my arms. He had no idea how difficult and dangerous the child was to come.

I gently patted the child's soft body and said, "Although this child is a month early, it is as big as a full-month-old baby. I can't wait to come out on the last day of the year. It's really a new addition to Chengqian Hall for you in the new year."

Li Shimin was busy enough not to mention the lotus seed soup of Shangshi Bureau. He finally took time to come to see me. How can I trouble him to investigate these things again? Besides, I believe I can also find out. Li Shimin looked at the child in my arms with a smile, touched his delicate little face, and said, "Last night, I thought about his name all night, and finally named him: You. What do you think?"

You...Li You.

Li Shimin held my hand and pressed me on his shoulder: "God bless, I will protect you. I hope he can grow up safely and live happily.

This is the most ordinary blessing and the warmest blessing. He knows me, and he knows that I only want our children to be safe and happy, and there is nothing else to ask for. I closed my eyes and leaned on his shoulder. At this moment, I am surrounded by happiness. If this is the case for a long time, it will be perfect.

Suddenly, I thought of Li Kuan, and I didn't see him this day. When I asked, Li Shimin said, "You must have a good rest. I'll stay with Princess Qin for a few days and pick you up when you are well. This child is sensible and very voluntary.

For good, Li Kuan made people feel relieved. I leaned back in Li Shimin's arms and looked at the sleeping Li You with him. At this moment, happiness and warmth are strong. Do you feel it?

At this time, Qing'er reported from outside the palace: "Your Highness, the prince and the king of Qi received the news of the birth of the fifth son and came to visit specially."

I carefully hugged Li You and straightened up. Li Shimin pressed me who was about to stay and asked me what I was doing. I said with a smile, "The prince and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi came to see You'er specially. How can I be absent?" Li Shimin was worried about my body and lifted me to the couch again, insisting not to let me go to the ground. I couldn't, so I had to respond to him, gently hand Li You over to his arms, and watched him leave the temple.

After a while, two maids of honor came to the hall, holding a wooden tray in their hands and covered with red cloth. The maid of honor blessed me respectfully and said that it was a gift from the prince and the king of Qi. I leaned up, and the two maids knelt in front of the bed. I reached out and lifted a red cloth with a golden bell bracelet on the tray.

The maid holding the tray said, "This is a gift from the prince to the fifth son."

I pinched the bracelet, and the crisp and pleasant jingle echoed in the hall. I smiled and sighed slightly, put down the bracelet and lay down on the bed. The maid retreated, put the tray on the table, and left.

Now I am the Zhaoxun of Chengqian Hall, the mother of the fifth son, why is Li Jiancheng still so infatuated? When I picked up the bell bracelet, I immediately understood that it was not an ordinary bracelet, and I really didn't want to know the secret inside.

This month, Princess Qin personally ordered the tonic I eat during confinement to the Shang Food Bureau, and all of them were delivered to the point according to strict requirements. The first month is very cold, and it has been snowing recently. Qinger dared not be too close to me with a stove, so she had to put it in a place that could be warmer far away. I lay on the couch not only covered with thick bedding, but also put on thick robes. When Princess Qin and Yang concubine came to see me, they sometimes said that women should not catch a cold after giving birth to a child. Even in summer, they should be covered with a quilt to avoid the disease buried when they were young.

When Li You was one month old, Li Shimin held a banquet in Chengqian Hall and invited Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, Changsun Wuji and others to the banquet together. I finally got his consent and walked out of the hall that had been trapped for me for a month. It had just snowed outside. The lights of the main hall were bright and the figure trembled.

I walked into the main hall with Li You in my arms. Li Jiancheng was coming out from the hall and staring at each other. Finally, I broke the look and smiled at him. Li Jiancheng also smiled and looked at Li You in my arms, smiling as if he were relieved and sad. With his arms tight, Li Shimin stood beside me and hugged me and asked me if I was cold. I shook my head. He smiled and hugged me and greeted Li Jiancheng into the hall. The full moon banquet will begin soon.

With Li You, the hall is much more lively. Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Li Kuan and Li Tai have never seen such a small child. They all looked around me and were very happy with this younger brother. The child, who was only one month old, liked to sleep. Maybe he felt the gaze of everyone, moved his eyelids and opened his eyes slightly to his brothers around him. He didn't cry or make trouble, but looked at them so quietly, which made Li Chengqian and the others jump excitedly.

After the banquet, I took Li Kuan back to Chengqian Hall. Li Shimin sent a wet nurse to help me take care of Li You, so I wouldn't feel too tired with these two children. Since Li Kuan came, I seem to like this kind of life, educate and take care of children, and wait for my husband to come to see me. This is the family that a woman really wants.

Two days later, the weather turned warmer and the snow melted well. I haven't gone out for a walk for a long time, so I asked Qinger to follow me on the palace road this day.

As I walked, I suddenly felt that the palace people were in a hurry to go in one direction. I motioned to ask Qinger to ask. Qinger pulled a maid who returned from that end and asked, and took me aside with a calm face and whispered, "Mo Zhaoxun, this matter is none of her own, so don't worry about it."

Qinger is meticulous, but she doesn't know how to lie and lie. When she said this, she must be more suspicious. She insisted on telling me the reason why these palace people are in a hurry but have no expression and don't speak. Qinger finally said in a sinking tone and approached me, "I found the body of a maid in a well in the backyard of the palace, and I don't know which palace it is. It snowed these days, and the body was frozen in the water, so it was not found. It was not until today that the ice and snow melted that the body began to float. I heard that there were several cuts on his face, which was terrible and important. Guess which palace master killed a maid to vent their anger, and they quietly pulled out the body and threw it away, so as not to cause disturbance due to trivial matters.

With that, four eunuchs quickly ran ahead, each carrying a stretcher covered with white cloth in one hand. Qing'er quickly protected me behind me and retreated to one side, asked me to cover my nose with an embroidered handkerchief, and I was not allowed to look at it, so as not to get unlucky. Suddenly, I only heard a "bang" sound. I inadvertently turned my head and saw a dagger shining brightly on the ground. The four eunuchs put down the stretcher, picked up the dagger and stuffed it in, and continued to drive away.

I stood still and watched them go further and further, and my heart was a little turbulent. I have seen the dagger. When Ye Ying looked like a maid and put the dagger against my neck, it was a fancy color similar to the handle of the dagger I just saw. Did this maid of honor kill Ye Ying? Why did she do it so hard? But on second thought, Ye Ying has always been very careful in doing things. Last time, she made the maid of honor Tianer into a fear of crime and committed suicide without leaving a trace. How could she leave the dagger so carelessly this time? Did she guess that the palace people would end this matter roughly? I don't think so. Although she acts in the palace, she doesn't understand the unspoken rules of the palace.

I was confused and went back to the hall. Soon I saw Nian'er. I retreated from the maid of honor in the hall, and Nian'er took me to the inner hall and whispered, "Xi Ran, a maid of honor died in secret this morning. The palace people dare not preach it for fear that more things will fall on their heads. It is said that the maid of honor was cut a few times in the face when she was picked up from the well, and her face was completely changed!"

I nodded solemnly and asked her if she had found anything because of this. The death of the maid of honor was indeed very suspicious. Nian'er lowered her voice a little and said, "The maid of honor who took the lotus seed soup of Shangshi Bureau that you let me pay attention to has actually disappeared after a few days. At that time, the palace was very calm. I thought that there should be no accident, so I just wanted to look for a few more days until today..."

"Do you mean... the body found today is the maid of honor with lotus seed soup?"

What Nian'er said is not impossible. So, the maid of honor should have been threatened by Ye Ying before she pretended to go to the Shang Food Bureau to ask for lotus seed soup. Ye Ying hates me and Li Shimin so much that she wants me to lose this child is also within her scope. It is also her usual style to kill people after the maid of honor reveals her horse's feet.

Ye Ying, you have done so secretly, it seems that I can't fight back!
