She has always been alone. She was a concubine at home. Her biological mother died early, and she was not loved by her father who only saw her legitimate daughter. Her aunt bullied her servants and looked down on her as the nominal third lady, so at a very young age
She understood that no matter what she wanted, she had to fight for it on her own. No one in the world could help her, and she would not trust anyone in the world.
After entering Prince Yong's Mansion, the jealousy and deceit among women made her even more convinced of this. She used scheming to win favor, used calculation to survive, and never had a heart to heart with others.
I would rather let the world down than let the world let me down.
This was something she had always kept in mind, but at this moment she was a little shaken. It seemed that... the feeling of being believed was not so uncomfortable...
"No need to thank me, I just don't want to owe you a favor." She said harshly, but her hands unconsciously helped Ling Ruo up.
The surprise flashed away in Ling Ruo's eyes, replaced by a deep smile. People's hearts are always made of flesh, and the Guarjia family is no exception. She said: "Yes, we are clear. But in the future, if my sister
If you have time, you might as well come and sit in Jing Si Ju often, as your children are still waiting to call your sister godmother."
There was an imperceptible tenderness when his eyes glanced at Ling Ruo's swollen abdomen, but then quickly turned into sadness, and he said in a low voice: "I don't know if there is such a chance."
Ling Ruo knew that she was worried about the poison on her body, and comforted her: "Didn't Dr. Xu say that the toxicity of the heart-eating poison has been neutralized a lot? I believe it will be completely eradicated before the poison takes hold next year. Don't worry too much, sister.
Now." As he spoke, the child in his belly
Er seemed to have heard their conversation and kicked her hard, causing her to smile, stroking her abdomen and saying: "I know you are anxious to see your godmother, but you are still too young, so you have to stay in my mother's belly obediently."
Only for a few months, no naughtiness allowed."
"Is he moving?" Gualga stared at her belly with a dazed look on her face. She had never been pregnant with a child and had no way of understanding the feeling of a little guy reaching out and kicking in her belly.
The morning light shone through the curtain on Ling Ruojiao's beautiful side face, like a clear lotus emerging from the water. She said with a faint smile: "Sister, do you want to touch him?"
Guarjia hesitated for a long time before reaching out her hand. The moment she touched Ling Ruo's abdomen, the child happened to kick her inside again. While she was amazed by the flourishing and novel life, a certain corner of her heart was quietly softening...
After a few days, Ling Ruo's pulse became more stable, and the condition of the fetus actually began to gradually improve. Rong Yuan was very surprised, and praised the miraculous effects of motherwort repeatedly, saying that if things continued as they were, he should be able to survive the disease smoothly.
October delivery period.
After he returned, Zimucao was recommended to the imperial hospital. After careful testing and practice, this herb was officially included in the imperial pharmacy and became a very important medicine for preventing pregnancy.
When Yinzhen learned about this, he was also very happy. He praised Guarjia a lot and rewarded her with many things.
Time flies by without any worries. In the blink of an eye, it is already November. The chill is deep. Even though I am wearing a thick cotton jacket, I still feel cold. My exposed fingers are as red and swollen as ten carrots.

After cleaning the courtyard, Mo Yu was stroking her hands under the eaves when she suddenly saw Li Wei and Xiao Luzi coming out of the house. He smiled and threw something to her, "Look at you like that. Here, here it is."
Mo Yu took it in his hand and saw that it was a shuttlecock with lead and tin as money, and chicken feathers in it. He couldn't help but exclaimed happily: "Where did you get the shuttlecock?"
"I was out of town a while ago, and I remembered that you said you used to play shuttlecock at home, so I bought one. What, maybe I forgot how to kick the shuttlecock?" Li Wei deliberately laughed at her.
Not to be outdone, Mo Yu raised her face and said: "Humph, how about we compete? Let's see who kicks the most, and the loser..." She rolled her eyes and smiled slyly: "I want to give everyone a month's salary to treat everyone.
Eat something delicious.”
Li Wei and Xiao Luzi looked at each other and said unwillingly: "Okay, let's compete. Don't cry if you lose."
They were talking lively here, and they also attracted Shui Xiu and Shui Yue who had just finished their work and had nothing to do. They all clapped and cheered when they heard that they were about to play shuttlecock. Ling Ruo had to sleep for an hour every afternoon. During this period,
This is when they are most free.
In the end, it was decided that Mo Yu would go with Shui Yue, Li Wei would go with Xiao Luzi, and Shui Xiu would act as the judge; she saw her throwing the shuttlecock in Mo Yu's direction, but Mo Yu didn't catch it, and straightened up with her toes.
falling shuttlecock
She kicked the shuttlecock into the air, and then kicked it inside and outside, dragging it, shrugging her knees, protruding her belly, Buddha's crown beads and other kinds of kicks. She alternated the kicks, which made people dazzled. The small shuttlecock seemed to have life on her feet, light and joyful.
.
While kicking, Mo Yu sang a song she had learned at home, "Kick a shuttlecock in half, beat the flower drum, go around the money, kick in and out, eight immortals cross the sea, ninety-nine, one hundred..."
After kicking for more than 150 times without letting the shuttlecock hit the ground, Mo Yu felt his feet were a little sore. Mo Yu winked at Shuiyue. The latter understood, turned around with a smile, raised his leg, took the shuttlecock, and continued to kick.
After more than a hundred kicks, the shuttlecock hit the ground due to an accident. The two of them kicked a total of 297 shuttlecocks.
Mo Yu said to Li Wei and Xiao Luzi with a proud look on his face: "How is it? Are you scared?"
"It's not certain who is afraid of whom." After saying this, Li Wei took the shuttlecock and kicked it hard. He was also very dexterous and full of tricks. From time to time, he would also hit the shuttlecock with his head, watching Shuixiu and the others.
He kept clapping his hands, and in the end he and Xiao Luzi kicked 291, losing to only five of Mo Yu and the others.
Mo Yu's heart was at ease. She was really worried that Li Wei and the others would surpass her just now. She clapped her hands and cheered loudly. Her eyes were bent into two small crescents, and she pointed at Li Wei and Xiao Luzi and said
: "You two, don't be lazy." After kicking the shuttlecock for a while, your body was much warmer and you no longer shrank as before.
"Don't worry, a manly man is willing to admit defeat." Li Wei smiled bitterly and said, "Let's each pay half. Unfortunately, I can't buy the fine silver and gilt snuff bottle that I was interested in before."
Xiaoluzi chuckled, rubbed his head and said: "It's okay, if it's inconvenient for you, I'll come... Come on, okay... I don't have any money in the house."
"How can that be alright? Not only do we good brothers have to share half of the good deeds, but we also have to bear the bad deeds together." After saying this, he turned his eyes to Mo Yu and said generously: "Okay, just say whatever you want to eat."
As they were talking, the door creaked open, and Yilan walked out of it with an unhappy look on her face, "You guys are so busy arguing here, do you know that you woke up my sister and me?"
In fact, Ling Ruo didn't wake up and was still sleeping peacefully inside, but Yilan moved her out naturally.
She has been in Prince Yong's Mansion almost every day recently. She was taking a nap with Ling Ruo just now. She didn't want to be woken up by the noise outside. When she came out and saw Li Wei and the others playing shuttlecock, she was immediately furious.
