The dinner started at midnight, and the Queen Mother had ordered people to prepare the dinner hall early. She was really happy tonight. In addition to settling the old feud with her son, Long Chuxia was back. The most important thing was that the child in her belly was still alive.
Yes, that means she didn't kill her grandson.
In the past three months, she felt uncomfortable every time she thought about this incident. When she dreamed about it at midnight, a baby covered in blood always came to her and asked her plaintively why she wanted to kill him! When she woke up, she was covered in blood.
It's sweat, the pillow is full of tears
After more than three painful months, when she thought she would be condemned by her conscience for the rest of her life, the appearance of Long Chuxia brought her back to the human world from hell!
It turned out that the feeling of regaining what was lost was so good, and she was glad that God gave her this opportunity to atone for her sins!
Long Chuxia had snacks and stew at Dai Dongguan's place, and was given a bowl of medicine by Dr. Guo. Although she didn't have anything substantial to eat, she was already very full, but she still had to attend the family banquet.
, people euphemistically said it was held for her sake.
Looking at the dishes on the table, her eyes widened. It was undeniable that they were all her favorites in the past. But, has anyone told the Queen Mother that pregnancy will subvert her previous tastes to a great extent. Now she looks like she used to like them.
When she ate the dishes, she felt sour water rising out of her. In addition, the food she just ate was all in her stomach. Now she couldn't contain even a trace of fragrance.
"What's wrong?" Feng Lingxiao sat next to her. Seeing her eyes widening as she looked at the dishes, she smiled and said, "Are you hungry? Wait a minute, the queen went to get something. She will be back soon!"
Concubine Duan also said, "How about secretly eating something first? Pregnant women cannot be hungry!"
"No, no, no!" Long Chuxia waved her hands repeatedly. Are you kidding? Where can she eat now?
The Queen Mother personally brought up a plate of things. The plate was exquisite in appearance and had clear edges and corners.
Concubine Duan hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Queen Mother, let me come here!" Since the Queen left, the Queen Mother has allowed them to call her Queen Mother to show their closeness. In the past, she preferred the Queen, so other concubines were strictly prohibited from calling her Queen Mother, and they were all called Queen Mother.
Now that she has experienced this incident, she has put aside many things and has taken the initiative to get close to Concubine Duan Guifei and Concubine Ying Guifei.
The Queen Mother handed the plate to Concubine Duan with a smile, and said nervously: "Be careful, the Ai family personally made it for Chu Xia!"
Long Chuxia was stunned, looked at the plate, swallowed her saliva, and asked, "What is it?"
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Look at your slander, it's sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Nanny Li told the Ai family that you love osmanthus cake the most, so the Ai family made some herself. Don't worry, no one will dare to snatch it from you. It's not the Ai family's boast.
Even the imperial chef was impressed by the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by the Ai family. When the late emperor ate the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by the Ai family, he was full of praise for it!"
The emperor was moved and said: "Remember when I was young, if I was unhappy, my mother would make sweet-scented osmanthus cake for me. After I ate it, I would immediately become happy?"
Concubine Duan said with a smile: "It turns out that the queen mother also made good things for Chu Xia. Concubine Chen and sister Yingfei also worked hard all afternoon and made a lot of snacks. Let's eat after dinner is finished!"
Long Chuxia hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry so much about me, let's eat together!"
"That's not possible, the Queen Mother did it for you herself!" Concubine Ying looked at Long Chuxia with a smile, "We don't dare to steal the Queen Mother's favor from you!"
"It sounds like the Ai family is very partial. Don't worry, the Ai family will make more someday and have them delivered to you. But today, time is tight, so I just made a few pieces. In the past few months, she has been lying in the ice cellar. "She hasn't eaten anything, so she must be very hungry. Look at the way she was staring at the food just now, as if she was reincarnated by a starving ghost!" The Queen Mother sat down and said with a smile.
"No..." Long Chuxia wanted to explain that she was actually not hungry, and moreover, she was very full.
"It's not what? You're welcome. Everyone saw how good you were at eating before!" Feng Ling smiled and looked at her fondly and said, "Besides, that is the mother's wish. You must eat them all." It’s not over, you have to eat dinner first.”
"Come here, serve the soup!" the Queen Mother said to the people behind her
The hair tubes all over Long Chuxia's body stood up, and waves of nausea surged from her stomach. She looked at the pile of food in front of her that everyone had brought for her. Yes, in the past, these things were not enough to fill half of her stomach, but her problem now was pregnant woman
"Why don't you eat??" Seeing her stunned, the Queen Mother asked with concern
Long Chuxia frowned and looked at the Queen Mother for help: "The Queen Mother, I am not the same as before. I am pregnant now..."
"Oh, yes, we don't eat as much as we used to now!" the Queen Mother said, and gave her another bowl, "It's for two people now. Eat quickly, there will be snacks later!"
"Is it enough? What else do you want to eat? I'll take some for you!" Concubine Duan asked softly.
"That's enough, that's enough!" Long Chuxia waved her hands quickly and said in horror.
"Then eat quickly!" Feng Ling said with a smile.
Long Chuxia picked up the bowl with difficulty, and ate these dishes in one mouthful under the eyes of everyone's expectation and love. Then she was stuffed with a plate of snacks. She finally knew what it means to be kind and hard to refuse. It was made for you with all the heart. , you said you can’t eat, how disappointed people must be? And it also makes you look very pretentious, doesn’t it? Well, she eats, eats, eats!
"Well, are you full?" The Queen Mother watched her eat the last piece of snack and asked with satisfaction.
"Full..." Long Chuxia covered her mouth. Unable to suppress the feeling that was about to burst out of her stomach, she turned around and flew out of the door, squatting under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and vomited.
Feng Lingxiao's expression changed, and she quickly followed her out, patted her back and asked nervously: "What's wrong? Why did you vomit?"
Long Chuxia weakly turned around and leaned on his arm, saying helplessly: "It's okay, it's just morning sickness!"
The Queen Mother and Concubine Duan and Concubine Ying also came out quickly. After hearing what Long Chuxia said, the Queen Mother said distressedly: "Why are you still vomiting now? It's been more than four months. This is the time to eat more!"
Feng Lingxiao's face was solemn, and she turned back to Mr. Li: "Quickly, call the imperial doctor!"
Long Chuxia quickly stretched out her hand to stop her, and said palely: "No, morning sickness is normal. I probably haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time, and my stomach can't stand it for a while. Don't spread the word to the imperial doctor!" Once it was passed to the imperial doctor Guo, he must have said it again! She has to drink a big bowl of soup, anti-fetal medicine, etc. Don't, she's scared.
"Go in and have a drink of water!" said the Queen Mother. "Your little face is all white. It's so pitiful. It's hard for you!"
"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Seeing a group of people taking care of her like a treasure, although it's a little annoying, I can't help but feel a little touched.
Feng Lingxiao simply picked her up and let her sit on the couch. Grandma Li brought warm water and asked her to rinse her mouth. She thanked her: "Thank you, Grandma!"
"Why are you thanking me? You look so thin!" Aunt Li said worriedly, "Although you were not round in the past, you were not so thin. Look, you are now skin and bones!"
"I couldn't eat before, but now I'm feeling better!" Long Chuxia smiled, not wanting everyone to worry or being surrounded like a patient.
But how can anyone believe it? He insisted that the imperial doctor come to see her and make sure she was fine, but she still prescribed a lot of anti-fetal medicines and she would have to take them for the next one or two months.
