Chapter 706: Giving birth to a lion cub

He covered his face and shook his head.

I feel like I can't think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the hotter my face becomes.

After Yu Wenchen sat upright and helped Qi Ranran, Eunuch Li spoke out,

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother sent Nanny Sun to deliver something."

whee.

Everything that comes from the Queen Mother is good~

When he looked again, he saw Grandma Sun coming with the palace attendants.

The Queen Mother sent Grandma Sun to deliver a pair of gourd and jade vases that were all crystal clear.

Round objects give people a gentle and friendly feeling.

The gentle quality of jade gives people a sense of tranquility.

Moreover, this is warm jade, which is warm to the touch, has a shiny luster, and has a delicate touch.

Qi Ranran knew that the reason why gourds are so popular is because they sound homophonic to "Fu Lu".

Moreover, gourds are associated with gods in many myths and legends.

For example, Tieguai Li among the Eight Immortals, the longevity star Antarctic Immortal,

Either the gourd is carried on the back or the gourd is hung on the waist.

Even the miraculous doctors passed down from generation to generation mostly kept company with gourds.

There is also a gourd used in Hexin wine.

It means that the couple's souls can be reunited after a hundred years.

The most important thing is that the gourd vine has many eldest sons and is regarded as a mascot of many sons and grandsons and fertility.

After living in Beiyu for a long time, Qi Ranran learned about the saying of "giving melons to ask for a son".

It is believed that giving gourds to couples can help them have children quickly and make their descendants prosperous.

What the Queen Mother sent was her heartfelt message. When Qi Ranran saw the smiles on the faces of the people in the room, she knew that she was being pushed to have a baby again.

He quietly touched his still flat belly and pursed his lips.

Being expected so much puts her under pressure~

Yuwen Chen seemed to like this gourd ornament very much, and told Caiyue to put it in the palace instead of keeping it in the library.

Caiyue and Nanny Song looked at each other, knowing each other's thoughts tacitly.

The emperor has never asked about such trivial matters as ornaments.

It seems that the emperor also has thoughts about the little prince.

When Caiyue closed the palace door and prepared to keep vigil, she couldn't help but clasped her hands in front of her body and bowed earnestly in the direction of the moon.

Pray for the empress,

I pray that the empress will have a cute and healthy little prince as soon as possible.

Qi Ranran, who climbed into bed early after washing up indoors, was obviously a little energetic tonight.

When I was lying in bed unable to sleep, I looked up and saw the jade gourd not far away.

The warm light reflects the restrained and quiet beauty of the jade gourd.

An idea popped into my mind, and my white fingertips hooked my hair again and again.

The bed curtain was opened, and Yu Wenchen's figure leaned in. He was slightly surprised when he saw the little salted fish with his eyes open and his fingertips coming together little by little.

"Still not asleep?"

Qi Ranran’s eyes shone brightly,

"Waiting for you."

Yuwen Chen's brows moved slightly.

Tonight's little salted fish looked a little enthusiastic.

After the idea came to Qi Ranran's mind, he thought carefully.

Now when he saw someone coming, he said matter-of-factly,

"I thought about it, and I actually kind of want a little lion like you."

"Little lion?"

Yu Wenchen was facing her direction, slightly propped up, and the collar around his neck was loosened by his movements. Although his eyes were looking in her direction, he obviously didn't quite understand the meaning of 'little lion', so he continued to ask.

,

"Why a little lion?"

"fool!"

Qi Ranran raised her hand and imitated his usual movements to poke his cheek. The expression on her face was one of pride.

"Twelve zodiac signs, you are Leo~"

Those who are like him are not just little lions.

Give birth to a super cute little lion.

How nice~

Yuwen Chen's thoughts paused for a moment.

He has never heard of any zodiac signs,

He had only heard of the zodiac.

Among them, there is a Lion Palace.

Although he didn't quite understand the 'Leo' she was talking about, Yuwen Chen thought of the lion, the king of beasts, and felt very majestic when he heard it. He felt that she was praising her in disguise, so he leaned towards her and kissed her hard on the face.

,

"Well, then I like the little lion too."

Qi Ranran's eyes opened wide.

If you don't like it, try it.

Blow his head off.

"Since we like it, we want a little lion."

While he was talking, Qi Ranran pulled away the quilt and rushed forward.

In order to prevent her from sliding down, Yuwen Chen had to hold her waist.

"Ah ah ah ah,"

Qi Ranran bent down and kissed him hard on the lips, then touched his waist with her hands.

"Let's give birth to a super cute little lion."

Yuwen Chen's pupils dilated slightly.

The little salted fish tonight is not only enthusiastic, but also very wild.

**

The Dragon Boat Festival will be here in three days.

Wrap sticky rice with wild rice leaves to make corn millet, taking the meaning of yin and yang wrapping, to praise the time.

Jiao millet refers to rice dumplings, including horn rice dumplings, cone rice dumplings, and tube rice dumplings. Due to different customs in different places, the patterns made are also very different.

In addition to jujube sweet rice dumplings, Beiyu's additional ingredients at this period already included bean paste, pork, pine nuts, walnuts, etc.

The Dragon Boat Festival not only includes rice dumplings, but also the Dragon Boat Festival in Beiyu has a sense of ritual.

It is a folk custom to hang mugwort leaves on doors and windows to drive away the five poisons and prevent mosquitoes.

Wear a sachet on your body and take a bath with calamus and mugwort leaves boiled in water to remove dampness and detoxify.

In the palace, Caiyue had already ordered people to hang up the hanging screen.

What is painted on it is the story of a heavenly master wielding a sword to cast down the five poisons.

Brown sugar garlic soup is also one of the Dragon Boat Festival meals.

Garlic can detoxify and remove dampness, and boiling it with brown sugar can warm the spleen and stomach, replenish qi and activate blood circulation.

The palace also made a red gauze and colorful gold box specially for the Dragon Boat Festival.

In the box is placed a statue of the Heavenly Master and a tiger carved from calamus and grass, surrounded by five-color calamus leaves.

Snakes, scorpions, lizards, centipedes and other poisonous insects made of jade will also be placed in the box, surrounded by water chestnut leaves, sunflowers and durian flowers specially used to subdue them.
