Flowers of the World Series: Flowers in Bloom

Chapter 1

In the first year after Emperor Cheng ascended the throne, Empress Xiao and Concubine Li conceived together. As the first batch of children after ascending the throne, Emperor Cheng hated both the Empress and Concubine Li. He hoped that this time he could give birth to his first prince after ascending the throne. Or the first princess.Therefore, every day, the imperial doctor was arranged to go to the harem to check the pulse of the two empresses, and Emperor Cheng also invited the master of Baita Temple to the palace to pray for the children who were about to be born.

Empress Xiao is the younger sister of the great general Xiao Yuanzheng. She has reliance in the previous dynasty and a noble status in the harem, but she is not satisfied.Because Emperor Cheng had seized power by himself, he was very afraid of the grown-up prince.Only a few days ago, he turned the first prince into a common man, but now he also pays close attention to the second prince who has just grown up, and often reprimands him.Before Emperor Cheng ascended the throne, she gave birth to the fifth princess Li Jinying and the sixth prince Li Jinhua.At present, the fifth princess is already ten years old, but Li Jinhua is only five years old. She wants to give birth to a prince to pave the way for Jinhua.The country of this Great Zhou can only belong to Jin Hua, which is what Emperor Cheng owes to her and him.

It's true that Li Jinhua is not the biological son of Emperor Cheng, and only Empress Xiao knows about this.This child is also the only memory of her and him, because he is dead, so this child is the ghost who came to demand debt from Emperor Cheng.Li Jinhua wanted Emperor Cheng's own children to pave the way for his children, so that his children could walk to the top on the bones of Emperor Cheng's heirs.The most poisonous woman's heart, Empress Xiao touched her swollen belly, obediently wanting to give birth.

"How is Concubine Li?" Empress Xiao was very concerned about her favored sister.For nothing else, since Emperor Cheng loves her, he must sacrifice her and her child to let Emperor Cheng taste what it is like to lose his true love.

"Back to the empress, the concubine Li's confinement period is just a few days away, and it's probably about the same as ours." It was the father-in-law Wang Bao in Empress Xiao's palace who answered.

"Look, give her more medicine." Empress Xiao picked a plump grape and squeezed it, sucking the juice inside.A pair of phoenix eyes squinted viciously.

Wang Bao bowed and went out.

Concubine Li - Dugu Buchun was lying on the embroidered couch in the bedroom with her eyes closed and rested, the imperial doctor said that the fetal position was not right and she was going to be bedridden.The eyebrows are like pink, the long eyelashes are delicate, the small nose and cherry mouth reveal the unique quiet beauty of Jiangnan women, and the splendid and beautiful clothes on her body are overshadowed.

"My concubine, how are you doing recently? Are you feeling sick again?" Emperor Cheng came to Concubine Li's palace to visit the beauty as soon as he retired from court.Concubine Li vomited badly at the beginning of her pregnancy, she couldn't eat anything and lost several kilograms, and Emperor Cheng was very distressed.

"His Majesty……"

Emperor Cheng pressed Concubine Li who was about to stand up and salute, "I don't need it in the future, who will show the red tape. You are inconvenient, and I feel distressed when I see it, so I am willing to let you salute?"

Concubine Li smiled shyly, "It's been fine recently, I'm no longer embarrassed. I also ate a lot."

"That's good." Emperor Cheng patted Concubine Li's belly happily, "Little guy, be obedient, if you continue to torment your mother and concubine, be careful that your father beats you."

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Li said angrily.

"I don't want to." Cheng Digang hurriedly hugged Concubine Li in his arms.

"Your Majesty, the empress is also pregnant, and I heard that the delivery date is very close to the concubines. You don't want to come to me all the time. You should visit the empress more often."

"The empress is the lord of the six palaces, and she won't be jealous. I will visit her in a few days, don't worry. I will have dinner with you today." Emperor Cheng couldn't bear the beauty in his arms.

In the Queen's bedroom, Wang Bao reported that His Majesty went to Concubine Li again tonight.

"How can a woman from the rivers and lakes get the Sacred Heart?" Empress Xiao flicked her sleeves and swept the prepared meals on the table.She didn't expect the emperor to come, but she needed the emperor to pay attention to Jinhua, so that Jinhua could have a chance to take over.

The next night, Emperor Cheng went to the Queen's Palace.

Concubine Li was tired from lying down, so she got up and opened the window to get some air, and sent the maids and eunuchs beside her to prepare dinner and take a bath.A dark figure came in through the window.

Soi Ying is slender but not thin, and the texture of muscles is revealed under the invisibility cloak.With thick eyebrows, big eyes and wide mouth, he stared fixedly at Concubine Li, and suddenly grinned even uglier than crying. "Bu Chun, can you come in?" The man's voice was loud but deliberately lowered.

Dugu Buchun covered his mouth and grinned from ear to ear: "Guo, as expected, the second senior brother is not suitable for laughing. It's better to come with a straight face. Buchun has always been fine, but he is always sleepy these days when the delivery date is approaching." Second senior brother, why did you sneak in again?" She said worriedly: "It is very dangerous to rush into the palace like this, you must never do this again in the future..." Suddenly remembered something and urged: "Tell her too It must not be like this."

The second senior brother naturally knew who Dugu Buchun was talking about, and his heart sank. Sure enough, the younger junior sister still liked the third junior sister more.But without showing it on his face, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it over, "I heard that your childbirth is approaching, and the doctor said that a woman gave birth..." He actually blushed a little, "It's very painful, the bottle is full of pain." The medicine can reduce the pain and help the birth, and you will prepare it just in case."

"Thank you, Second Senior Brother."

The palace is not a place where people like him stay, he went over to give Dugu Buchun a bear hug, and then disappeared into the night sky just like when he came.

Dugu Buchun looked out of the dark window, thinking of an impossible person, yes, since she entered the palace, she has never visited her.On the contrary, the second senior brother has always been concerned, and often sneaks into the palace to visit him.But this porcelain vase is obviously from Huashen Villa, so she is still blaming herself, blaming herself, she will never have a chance to see her again in this life.This huge palace is a tomb, and everyone who enters will be buried.Dugu Buchun turned around, and the loneliness on his face did not fall into the eyes of the peeping opposite.

On the roof of the palace, a woman in red clenched her fists as if she could bleed, and the veins on her angular face popped out. "Old ghost, who allows you to hug her?" roared.

"It's the difference between brother and sister, who told you not to send it yourself? If you have the ability, you can go by yourself, and you can hug it too!" The old ghost was not convinced, they both liked the little junior sister, but the old ghost was more frank.I don't know what's wrong with Su Xiyun.

Su Xiyun turned around angrily, but came back and asked, "How does she look?"

"No, it may be that the palace is too cloudy. I think she has a bad complexion, or it may be that women are like this when they are pregnant. I don't understand. If you want to know, you can go by yourself! The four of us are learning Medicine, if you don't go, you always let me go, you must know that sneaking into the palace is very risky." The old ghost complained, even if Su Xiyun didn't ask him to go, he would go by himself.

"The maternity period is only a few days away, and it's not convenient for me to come to give birth. There are some things to be arranged in the Blackwater Palace. You can keep it." After finishing speaking, the old ghost performed lightness kung fu and walked into the night.

That's right, Su Xiyun wanted to stay, even though the woman she loved so much gave birth to someone else's child, she still wanted to look after her well. "Dugubuchun, Dubuchun is also called Tumi, the last flower of summer, when it is in full bloom, there is no way out, and you can't continue to be beautiful. Who said, you are the most beautiful in my heart. I will always guard looking at you." Su Xiyun murmured to himself.

Ten days later in the morning, Empress Xiao showed signs of giving birth, but there was still no movement until the afternoon.

Empress Xiao, who was lying on the embroidered couch, breathed weakly, her body was covered with sweat as if she had just come out of the water.Her phoenix eyes were slumped, and she asked the midwife weakly, "When will the baby be born?" She really wanted to end this pain as soon as possible.

The two nuns grimaced, "Mother, your baby is not good. After a long time, the amniotic fluid has dried up. I'm afraid..." They didn't dare to continue.

"What are you afraid of?" Empress Xiao's heart sank, could it be that the child could not be kept?

"I'm afraid the baby is stillborn." Mammy knelt down and replied.

"Call the imperial doctor!" Empress Xiao ordered.

The imperial doctor waiting outside the palace gate was ordered to go in immediately to diagnose Empress Xiao's pulse, and shook his head again and again.Sure enough, the child can't be kept, how can it be possible to conceive in October?

"Your Majesty, there is news from Concubine Li that the amniotic fluid has broken." Wang Bao immediately came to report that his master's condition is not good, and see if he should kill Concubine Li's as well.

"I can't give birth, but she is excited." Empress Xiao panted heavily, gritting her teeth in pain.In a daze, a poisonous scheme came to mind, "Wang Bao, come here."

This...Wang Bao was also in a cold sweat when he heard it, but Empress Xiao was the lord of the six palaces. In the previous dynasty, he had an elder brother who held a heavy army, so he, Wang Bao, had to fight.

Empress Xiao ordered the imperial doctor to prescribe labor-inducing medicine, and the stillborn baby would also be born.Wang Bao contacted the eyeliner in Concubine Li's palace and came out to steal the show.
