On New Year's Eve, firecrackers were clamoring, making people feel inexplicably nervous.
Lu Mingyu turned over and put his little hand on Chu Xing's chest. The ground dragon burned in the room, which was not as warm as spring and summer. It was only in the cold winter and twelfth month. Chu Xing would wear a mid-cloth when he fell asleep. The mid-cloth was thin, and her little hand was placed there honestly. Chu Xing moved his eyelashes until the little hand began to poke him playfully and gently, that Chu Xing smiled and covered her hand helplessly.
Lu Mingyu leaned over with his bird.
"Can't sleep?" Chu Xing asked in a low voice.
Lu Mingyu nodded and whispered: "Noisy."
Chu Xing smiled bitterly. If the cicadas chirped, he could still stick all the cicadas on the tree. However, during festivals, people set off firecrackers, let alone him, even the emperor could not control it. He could not help his wife solve the sound of firecrackers. Chu Xing turned sideways, and his big hand was pressed against her already-looking belly through the middle cloak. As soon as he set it steady, he felt the little guy inside kicking him.
"It's moving." As a father for the first time, Chu Xing could not hide his excitement even if it was not the first time he felt the little guy's movement.
"Neither we mother can sleep." Lu Mingyu bit his shoulder lightly, "You are a father, think of a solution."
Her teeth pressed against his shoulder through the fabric, and only used a little effort. It was more of an invitation than a bite. Chu Xing looked at her face and thought of the many attempts in the past few months. He had to endure it just now when he got married. He felt uncomfortable. After a long time, she couldn't stand it. But whenever he was ready, she retreated, afraid that he would hurt the child.
Chu Xing used to be sweating in her ears and promised that she would be very careful, but she didn't agree.
He understood her worries. After all, she was always made by him cry during the wedding, but Chu Xing really couldn't stand the expectation and gave up halfway again. It was like sending a piece of meat to someone who was about to starve to death, either give it to him or just don't take it out. If you can't see it, you will be worse than death.
Holding her, Chu Xing buried her soft black hair, and made her make a clear choice for the first time.
Either let him in or go to bed immediately.
He said it too straightforwardly, Lu Mingyu pushed him away in shame and annoyed, and she slowly turned inside. Chu Xing clenched his fists and stared at the top of the bed. Just as he closed his eyes and was about to recite a military book, the hem of his clothes was pulled down. Chu Xing turned his head in disbelief, and she still turned her back to him, and her little hands were retrieving it.
"A Nuan..." Chu Xing pressed over and hugged her shoulders tightly.
The first thing Lu Mingyu felt was that her bones were almost crispy.
She believed he would be careful, but she was still afraid and nervously grabbed the corner of the pillow.
Chu Xing pressed his hands against her bulging belly. This is his child, and he valued it more than her.
The sound of firecrackers and gauze tents shook lightly. At the first update, the sound of the buzzer at the second update came, and Lu Mingyu's delicate humming finally stopped. She maintained a lie on her side, closed her eyes and calmed down with a smile on her lips, and Chu Xing next to her lying on her back. For the first time, because of this, her arms, legs, waist, and soreness, tired, but extremely satisfied.
"Happy?" Listening to his clear breathing, Lu Mingyu snorted in a low voice, remembering his previous threat.
Chu Xing said nothing and hugged her and kissed her.
Lu Mingyu bit him two times, and was tired after changing the bedding and she fell asleep quickly.
Chu Xing finally slept for a good night. The next day, the couple were refreshed and after washing up, they went to Sanqiu Hall to greet the elders. Because of the greed and joy last night, the couple got up a little late, which was the last time they arrived.
Chu Sui stood next to Mrs. Chu Er's chair. When his brother and sister-in-law came, he looked at the door naturally and happened to see Lu Mingyu entering. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, she wore a water-red makeup sack, and used to holding the obviously bulging belly with one hand, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of tenderness as a mother.
It is as gentle as water, and as soft as if it is broken at the touch.
Chu Sui was in a daze.
She was arrogant and arrogant, she was as warded against him as a snake or a scorpion, and he wouldn't help but want to subdue her, but she...
Lu Mingyu felt something, looked up and met Chu Sui's vague gaze. Thinking that Chu Sui was about to get married soon, he met Chu Sui by chance in the past few months. Lu Mingyu did not laugh, but he did not show his previous disgust and distantness. He looked forward calmly.
She has already married, Chu Suihui is the uncle of her child. She will have a long life in the future, so she has to gradually get used to being ordinary uncles and sisters-in-law with Chu Sui. When she first got married, she was worried that Chu Xing would feel irritated. Now Lu Mingyu is very sure that Chu Xing is not so suspicious. If Chu Sui's marriage to Wan Shu made her feel that Chu Sui really forgot her, the little guy growing bigger and bigger in her belly made Lu Mingyu feel more gentle.
When he came to the Grandmaster, Lu Mingyu smiled and greeted her New Year.
Seeing the young couple's rosy complexion, the grandson's wife couldn't help laughing and smiled at her unborn great-grandson, "When next year, I will have to pay an extra New Year's money." She didn't like Lu Yun entering the palace, for fear that Lu Yun would threaten her grandson-in-law, King Qing, but whether Lu Yun could get pregnant with a dragon son is a question. The grandson was worried for two days and let it go, and only cared about her great-grandson in front of her.
The younger generations greeted New Year's greetings, and the elders sent New Year's money, and the Duke of Chu was filled with joy.
After the first month of the year, the atmosphere of the New Year completely faded. The Duke of Chu's mansion began to prepare for Chu Sui's wedding in April. Lu Mingyu went to the Grandma's house to pay tribute. He was more or less informed of some progress, but Lu Mingyu was even more concerned about his parents' aunt.
It seemed like March was coming in the blink of an eye.
Lu Yun entered the palace on the second day of the third month.
On the first day of the first day of the New Year, Lu Mingyu returned to her parents' home. She was almost born at the end of this month. Lu Yun had never been pregnant. Seeing her niece running over with such a big belly and caring for her, she secretly told her that there was a gentle and cruel Xu Guiren in the palace and warned her not to interact. Lu Yun felt sour inexplicably, and held her niece's hand and told her: "A Nuan, I will take good care of myself, you will be born soon. Don't always think about me, I am your aunt."
For some reason, Lu Yun always felt that her niece was trying hard to take care of her.
"What aunt, you are only three years older than me." Lu Mingyu pointed out seriously.
Lu Yun suddenly laughed.
Lu Mingyu looked at her aunt's gentle smile, but she couldn't feel at ease. But no matter how she was worried, the day for Lu Yun to enter the palace was still here. Before dawn on the morning of the second day of the lunar month, the Lu family and the palace were ready. The emperor was granted a concubine, and the ceremonial guard was even more grand than that of a noble family marrying a daughter.
~
Lu Yun was granted the title of Concubine Rong and was given to Yongning Palace.
After walking down a ceremony of conferring concubines, Lu Yun was so tired that he could not walk anymore. When he returned to Yongning Palace, he had to first accept the visits from the eunuchs and palace maids of Yongning Palace.
The two leading people are Aunt Lin and Eunuch Fu.
Aunt Lin is fifty-four, and is the great palace maid around Emperor Hui when he was young. After Emperor Hui ascended the throne, Aunt Lin resigned from the palace to raise his parents who had lost their son. Now the two elders of the Lin family have long been dead for many years. I don’t know how Emperor Hui persuaded him, so he took Aunt Lin to the palace and arranged to serve Lu Yun.
Not to mention Eunuch Fu, he was a disciple taught by the eunuch Guo Yong in charge. The concubines in the harem did not dare to show off their master's proposition when they saw them. Emperor Hui of Ming sent two of them to Lu Yun, which shows how much he valued Lu Yun.
It can be said that as long as Lu Yun took Aunt Lin and Eunuch Fu out of Yongning Palace, the other concubines would have some jealousy. When they saw Aunt Lin and Eunuch Fu, they would not dare to show it. They would either flatter Lu Yun or secretly exaggerate it, which would not affect Lu Yun.
Before Lu Yun entered the palace, he knew about Emperor Hui's arrangements. When she saw Aunt Lin and Eunuch Fu, she showed great respect. She was a gentle and gentle person. It made people feel comfortable from the bottom of her heart. Eunuch Fu bowed her head and said she didn't dare to take it. If she was a master without a background, he might still be able to look down on her. However, Lu Yun's family was supported by the Minister of War and was deeply favored by Emperor Hui, so he should serve her with peace of mind. Anyway, the emperor had a master, so he would never make any progress in his life. He could be the eunuch in the palace who was the favorite concubine, and he would enjoy it easily and happily.
"Empress, let's change your clothes first." Aunt Lin looked at Lu Yun's luxurious and heavy concubine's ceremonial crown on his head, and advised with a kind smile. She went to serve Emperor Hui as soon as she was born. It can be said that Emperor Hui was the one she grew up watching him. In Aunt Lin's heart, Emperor Hui is a king and a junior. Now Emperor Hui finally met someone he really likes. Aunt Lin loves houses and wows and loves Lu Yun very much. As for whether Lu Yun has ever married, Aunt Lin doesn't care at all. It can make Emperor Hui taste the feelings of men and women, and Lu Yun is a hero.
Lu Yun nodded.
She had just entered the palace and would go to see Empress Wan tomorrow and accept congratulations from other concubines. Today, she just had to wait in Yongning Palace... and just sleep. She changed into a red homely dress of concubines. When she thought of Emperor Minghui who would come to the evening, Lu Yun couldn't calm down.
She knew best why she agreed to enter the palace. If she hadn't met, she wouldn't have the domineering teasing and gentleness that night, and she had never felt the warmth in his hands. If Emperor Minghui just suddenly ordered her to enter the palace, Lu Yun might have surrendered to the emperor's power, but she would definitely not want it. But when she met him, the look of the man looking at her made her panic. He held her hand domineeringly, but she was afraid, but she was also greedy for such force. Staying alone in Lanyuan and lying alone on the bed, what was missing?
She didn't want to marry on her own initiative, for fear of being despised and ridiculed by others, but Emperor Minghui took the initiative to come to her. Lu Yun was really reluctant to refuse such gentle and affectionate eyes.
"Empress, the emperor is here."
Aunt Lin's voice suddenly came from the door. Lu Jun was shocked and immediately stood up from the chair.
Aunt Lin held the curtain with one hand, smiled amiably at her, and encouraged her with her eyes.
Lu Jun felt a little relieved, lowered his eyes and walked out, stepped out of the door, and saw a vermilion figure in front of him, with a majestic golden dragon embroidered on his clothes. Lu Jun was nervously sweating and bowed his knees, "I have seen the emperor." His voice was trembling.
Emperor Hui of Ming was fixed at the door, with long and narrow eyes looking at the woman diagonally opposite. After the Chinese New Year, the girl grew one year older, with rosy cheeks and graceful figure. She placed her hands in front of her waist with a delicate slight salute, exactly the same as the other concubines who saw him.
Emperor Minghui's eyes changed. He didn't want Lu Yun to become those stereotyped concubines. She was different in his heart. He wanted to pity her and make her live a comfortable and comfortable life. He wanted to have a real person by his side. Empress Wan and the concubines wanted something from him, whether they had a stable status or favored him. Only Lu Yun, who didn't want at first, was he coaxing her in half and half.
Emperor Hui of Ming winked at Aunt Lin.
Aunt Lin immediately led Xingzhi and others to retreat to the yard.
Lu Yun still maintained the posture of ceremonial salute. Emperor Minghui shook his head helplessly, walked over, held her shoulder with his big hand and helped her up, looking down at her and said, "In the future, I don't have to perform these false salutes again. I will punish you once."
The word "punishment" is meaningful.
Lu Yun blushed.
Emperor Minghui smiled and held her hand, and walked towards the east, "Let's go in and talk first, and then have a meal later."
