Chapter 197 Gift
Yu Zheng was in a very good mood tonight, and he couldn't help but smile no matter what he did.
When he was resting, he held Jiang Shu in his arms, spoke to her in a gentle voice, and kissed her from time to time.
Jiang Shu's face was wet from his kisses, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Although she was also very happy, Yu Zheng's expression was really too exaggerated.
It was late at night, and Jiang Shu yawned a little, and suddenly remembered something in his sleepy state.
Tomorrow is the 19th day of the winter month, Yu Zheng's birthday.
Thinking that her family had never been to the palace, and that there was a happy event in the palace, Jiang Shu asked, "My husband, tomorrow is your birthday. Can you invite your parents to come to the palace to celebrate your birthday? Let them share this joy."
Yu Zheng had been so busy these days that he had completely forgotten his birthday. When Jiang Shu said that, he suddenly realized it.
"Of course you can. Your family is my family. Since we got married, you have been the master of the palace. You can invite them anytime in the future without asking me."
Yu Zheng was really happy and couldn't help but peck Jiang Shu's lips again.
Jiang Shu was deeply moved by these words. She kissed Yu Zheng back and said, "I have prepared a birthday gift and will give it to you tomorrow morning." "
Okay." Yu Zheng agreed happily.
Finally, he raised his hand and gently stroked Jiang Shu's belly, whispering in her ear: "In fact, you have given me the best birthday gift in the world."
"Not only a child, you are also the most precious gift God has given me."
Jiang Shu heard this, her heart was soft and warm.
To Yu Zheng, she and the child are the best gifts in the world. And in her heart, Yu Zheng and the child are gifts from fate and God.
That night, the two were very happy, and the smiles on their faces did not disappear after they fell asleep.
The next day, Yu Zheng got up to court as usual.
Jiang Shu was thinking about giving Yu Zheng a birthday gift first, and she struggled to get up from the warm quilt.
Yu Zheng held her down and said, "Don't get up, sleep a little longer while it's warm, there will be no one to warm your bed when I leave."
"I want to give you a birthday gift." Jiang Shu frowned slightly.
Yu Zheng smiled gently and said, "No hurry, it's the same if you come back from court."
He had been looking forward to it for many days and was not in a hurry.
However, Jiang Shu hugged the quilt and looked at him eagerly.
Yu Zheng was helpless and compromised, "Tell me where it is and I will get it myself, okay?"
"Yes." Jiang Shu's brows relaxed instantly, and he smiled happily and told Yu Zheng where the birthday gift was.
Yu Zheng found it as he was told, and when he saw that it was a scroll, he was a little surprised.
What surprised him even more was that the texture of the painting felt a little strange in his hands.
"Did you find it?" Jiang Shu stretched his neck and asked.
Yu Zheng responded and took the scroll to the bed.
Jiang Shu grabbed one end of the scroll and asked Yu Zheng to unfold the scroll.
The huge scroll, which was six feet long and three feet wide, was opened, and a picture of sunset and evening glow came into Yu Zheng's eyes.
What shocked him even more was that this picture was painted with fallen leaves, and the colors were bright and lifelike.
"This is... the sunset view of Xiangyun Mountain." Yu Zheng was surprised and happy.
Jiang Shu nodded and asked expectantly: "Do you like it, my husband? I made it myself."
Yu Zheng remembered what Ruixue said that day, and nodded with a curled lip: "I like it very much."
This was the birthday gift she had secretly prepared for him for a few days, how could he not like it.
Hearing Yu Zheng say that he liked it, Jiang Shu smiled with satisfaction: "My husband, go to court, I'll wait for you at home."
"Okay." Yu Zheng carefully put away the scroll and leaned over to kiss Jiang Shu on the forehead.
Before leaving, Yu Zheng told Chu Yu to put a hot pot in Jiang Shu's quilt.
After the tossing and turning just now, the warmth in the quilt was probably gone.
The dawns in winter come late, and it was not until Yu Zheng finished
his court that the sky was bright. When he arrived at Zhongling Palace, Concubine Yu Gui had just gotten up and had just finished washing up.
"Zheng'er is here." Concubine Yu Gui was not surprised, because today was Yu Zheng's birthday.
According to palace custom, the princes had to enter the palace to pay respects on their birthdays.
The emperor lagged behind Yu Zheng and just entered the hall at this time.
After the two of them sat down, Yu Zheng knelt down to the two of them according to etiquette, thanking them for giving birth to him.
"Father, mother, the court doctor diagnosed that Shu'er is pregnant last night." Yu Zheng raised the corners of his lips slightly, unable to hide his joy.
"Really?" Concubine Yu Gui and the emperor were instantly delighted.
Yu Zheng stood up and nodded: "It has been confirmed repeatedly."
The emperor calculated the time and raised his eyebrows and said: "It's been more than a month since the wedding. You are very good."
Concubine Yu covered her lips and smiled: "Today is Zheng'er's birthday. This child is very good at choosing the time. He must be a blessed child."
At this time, Concubine Yu just understood why Jiang Shu didn't come today.
Concubine Yu was not annoyed, but patiently reminded: "The fetus is unstable in the early stage of pregnancy, so it is not advisable to move too much. You don't need to come to the palace to pay respects for the next few months. Come to the palace and let me take a look when you are stable."
"Son, I understand." Yu Zheng wrote it down seriously.
The three of them talked for a few more words, and Concubine Yu Gui ordered the palace maid to present the birthday gift prepared for Yu Zheng and said, "Okay, you have a wife and children waiting for you in the mansion now, I won't keep you, go back early."
"Son, take your leave." Yu Zheng stood up and left with the birthday gift.
Looking at his happy and anxious footsteps, the emperor shook his head and sighed: "It's really different after getting married."
Yu Zheng used to be good in every way, but he was cold and indifferent, not like an ordinary person. But since he married a concubine, he has gradually changed, contaminated with the dust of the world, as if he had more flesh and blood, and became more real and vivid.
"This is like being alive." Concubine Yu Gui sighed.
People are born different from all things, they should have seven emotions and six desires, and marrying a wife and having children is the natural way of heaven.
"Okay, think about what to name the child." The emperor looked ashamed.
Yu Zheng wanted to name his first child himself.
Concubine Yu Gui smiled and said, "We don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet."
The emperor readily agreed and said, "Then choose one and keep them all ready."
"Okay, I'll listen to your majesty, but let's have breakfast first." Concubine Yu waved her hand and ordered someone to serve the meal.
Naming is a big deal, it takes more than a day or two, and it can't be rushed.
The sun rose slowly, trying its best to shine its light on every corner of Shangjing and dispel some of the cold.
When Yu Zheng returned to the palace, Jiang Shu had already stood up and was dressing.
"Your Majesty." Seeing Yu Zheng enter the room, Chu Yu and Tan Yu bowed.
Yu Zheng looked at Jiang Shu in front of the dressing table and asked gently, "How long will it take? Are you hungry?"
Jiang Shu said honestly, "A little."
She didn't eat much for dinner last night, so she was indeed a little hungry at this time.
Yu Zheng glanced at Chu Yu who was dressing.
Chu Yu hurriedly said: "All that's left is to draw the eyebrows. It'll be done soon."
After hearing this, Yu Zheng's dark eyes flashed lightly and he stepped forward and said, "Give me the eyebrows and you guys go and pass the meal."
"Yes." Chu Yu didn't dare to disobey, so he handed the eyebrows to Yu Zheng and hurried away.
After the two left, Jiang Shu looked up at Yu Zheng and asked in surprise: "My husband knows how to draw eyebrows?"
Yu Zheng said seriously: "No, but my painting is pretty good. I think the two are about the same."
Jiang Shu's brows twitched when he heard this, but thinking that today was Yu Zheng's birthday, it
was hard to displease him.
Yu Zheng pulled up a few stools and sat down, twirling the blue-black eyebrows with Ruyu's fingers, gently holding Jiang Shu's forehead with his left hand, and carefully drawing her eyebrows.
