After stamping the seal, Qian Moduo held the book and left. In the evening, Guarjia came. After entering, she said to Cong Xiang who was holding the brocade box behind her: "Put the things down.
"
Seeing this, Ling Ruo chuckled and said, "What good things did sister bring again?"
"It's a good thing, but I came here to return the original." As Guarjia opened the brocade box, Ling Ruo immediately understood what she meant. The brocade box contained nothing else, but a bunch of bright red flowers.
Blood bird's nest.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Seeing Ling Ruo ask this, Guarjia chuckled and said, "These two kilograms of blood swallows are yours, so they should naturally be yours."
"But..." Before Ling Ruo could say anything, Guarjia had already interrupted her and said, "Since I brought it, I have absolutely no intention of taking it back. Even if you talk too much, it's useless. You also
Really, when you are just using the bird's nest, why do you ask me what to do?"
Ling Ruo knew Guarjia's temperament, so she had no choice but to agree. After pulling Guarjia to sit down, she said, "How did sister know that this was allocated from my share?"
Guarjia opened her lips and smiled and said: "The amount of blood swallow tribute every year is very small, ranging from twenty kilograms to fifteen kilograms, and never more than twenty kilograms. In the past, I could get two kilograms, but
Now that there is an additional Nalan Meier in the palace, and the Shumulu clan has been promoted to Rui concubine, it can still be the same as before. I was surprised, so I went to the House of Internal Affairs to ask Qian Moduo, but Qian hesitated and refused.
To be honest, I asked him for a brochure to read, but my name was not on the brochure at all, so I didn’t need to think too much about where the two kilograms of blood swallows came from." At this point, she patted Ling.
Ruo's hand said: "You too, why do you let Nalan Meier do what she wants? If she wants three catties, she will give her three catties. Then next time if she wants thirty catties, will you have to find ten more?"
How many pounds should you give her?"
Ling Ruo couldn't help but laugh when she said it, "Thirty pounds? How can she eat so much? Sister, she thinks too much."
"I'm just giving you an example, but you have to be careful yourself. The emperor has not yet made Nalan Meier a concubine, but she has already begun to push her harder. Next time she really wants to make her a concubine, I don't know how she will push her to the limit.
"
Ling Ruo's eyes dimmed and she said solemnly: "If the emperor really wants to promote her, there is nothing I can do."
Speaking of this, Guarjia also lost her smile and sighed: "Oh, that Nalan Meer has a beautiful face but is superficial and ignorant, but... when it comes to the word beauty, she is no longer young, really
I don’t know why the emperor prefers her so much.”
"The Emperor is a man of long-lasting love. For more than twenty years, he has never let go of Nalan Mei'er." Ling Ruo lowered his head and stroked his abdomen. It has been two months now. Although he still can't feel the bulge in his abdomen,
But she felt the child's existence more and more truly.
Guarjia shook her head and said: "Now there is a commotion inside and outside because of Nalan Mei'er. If the emperor really accepts her, I don't know what will happen. I just hope that the emperor can rein in the precipice and don't make the same mistake again, otherwise he will really die.
One misstep will lead to eternal regret."
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Ling Ruo waved her hand, changed the subject and said, "Since sister is here, please stay a little longer. I'll have someone take the blood swallow down and stew it. Sister will use it before leaving."
"That's fine." Guarjia was not polite to Ling Ruo. After agreeing, she asked with concern: "How is it? How is the child recently?"
"Physician Zhou comes to check for pulse every day. The child is very good." Speaking of this, Ling Ruo said with emotion: "For so many days, except for this child, there has been nothing to be happy about."
"Now that you know it, you must protect this child even more. Don't hurt him because you are tempted. Otherwise, you won't even have time to cry."
Ling Ruo nodded vigorously and said: "I know that no matter how unhappy I encounter it, as long as this child is here, I will work hard to get through it."
Saying this, Guarjia suddenly started to giggle, and kept laughing, which made Ling Ruo look very strange. He asked her several times why she was laughing, and then Guarjia said: "Just now.
, I suddenly thought that if the Queen and Shu Mulu knew that you were pregnant, I don’t know how angry they would be, but their faces would definitely look pretty."
Hearing such an answer, Ling Ruoyi laughed. Yes, the queen and the others never dreamed that she could be pregnant at her age. After laughing, she said: "Although this matter will have to be known to them sooner or later,
But three months ago, I asked my sister to keep it a secret and never let anyone know about it."
"Don't worry, I'm not ignorant of the overall situation. I just thought it was funny for a moment." Guarjia stopped laughing and said: "Anyway, you should take good care of the baby and ignore other things. Also, let Shuixiu and the others keep an eye on you."
Be tight, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst."
Without waiting for Ling Ruo to speak, Shui Xiu pursed her lips and said, "Don't worry, concubine, the slaves are watching everything that goes into the master's mouth. As for the water used for bathing, it is also from the water that was just brought into the palace."
Picked directly."
"That's good." As she said this, Guarjia suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Ruo'er, aren't you going to tell the emperor about this child?" Seeing Ling Ruo shaking her head, she didn't know where to go.
After some persuasion, Ling Ruo and the emperor had already resolved their knot, but Nalan Meier suddenly appeared. It was really annoying to think about it.
At this time, Cong Xianghu said: "Master, Concubine Xi, this slave has heard something, and I don't know whether it is true or false.
"Oh? What's the matter? Let's talk about it." After hearing Guarjia's words, Congxiang nodded and said: "I heard that some time ago, the emperor suddenly summoned Dr. Xu to the palace and stayed in the Yangxin Hall for a long time before leaving.
"
Guarjia frowned and said, "Doctor Xu? Why did the emperor summon him for no reason?"
Cong Xiang shook his head and said: "This slave doesn't know, but I heard from the little eunuch who was waiting at the Yangxin Hall that the emperor summoned him in a hurry, and after Dr. Xu entered the Yangxin Hall, the emperor sent all the people waiting.
Even Eunuch Xi is no exception."
Although he had some resentment towards Yinzhen in his heart, after hearing this, he still couldn't help but worry and asked: "Is the emperor sick, so he summoned Dr. Xu to the palace for diagnosis and treatment?"
Cong Xiang lowered his head and thought for a while, then said with slightly bright eyes: "I remember, before Dr. Xu, the emperor also summoned Dr. He, the vice-president."
"The emperor has summoned Dr. He and Dr. Xu one after another. It seems that something has really happened. But since we can't see the emperor's case, we have no way of knowing." Following these words, the room changed.
It was extremely quiet, no one spoke.
I don't know how much time passed, but Ling Ruohu said to Shui Xiu: "Has the emperor summoned any of his concubines to sleep with you recently?"
