Dongmei didn't dare to say any more, lowered her head and stepped aside, but Yehenala's mind was piqued by her, and she said softly: "Mother, did something happen or did you meet someone?"
Concubine Yu looked uneasy and said: "No, sister, please don't listen to this girl's nonsense. It's all my fault that I treat them too leniently on weekdays, causing them to lose their proper sense of proportion and making my sister laugh."
Yehenala looked at her for a long time, and then suddenly said: "My queen, if there is anything that happens, you might as well tell me directly."
"You..." Concubine Yu shook her head and said helplessly: "Sister, listen to my advice, it's better to be a little confused sometimes, otherwise it will only cause endless troubles; don't ask about this matter again, I won't
I won’t say it again.”
Seeing what Concubine Yu said, Yehenala had no choice but to give up, but the doubts in her heart did not disappear. After Concubine Yu left, she could not calm down and kept thinking of the word "ying" mentioned by Dongmei.
, Zhu said: "Chun Tao, help me go to Changchun Palace." After the Hu family was named Ying Concubine, she moved out of Jingren Palace and moved to Changchun Palace, where she became the head of Changchun Palace.
Chuntao advised: "Master, it's very hot outside right now and it's very easy to get heat stroke. Why don't you wait until the sun goes down before going?"
Yehenara took a look at the skylight coming in through the window paper, nodded helplessly, and after barely staying up until dusk, she immediately asked Chuntao to take her to Changchun Palace.
Mrs. Hu was very happy to see her coming and personally welcomed her in. Although they were both more than seven months pregnant, Mrs. Hu's abdomen was much larger than that of Mrs. Yehenara, who was pregnant with twins.
Like a belly about to give birth.
Seeing Mrs. Hu's belly, jealousy flashed through her eyes. She was also a dragon, but Mrs. Hu was pregnant with two children at once, and Hongli was even coaxed to convert her from a noble to a concubine.
In the years when she first entered the palace, Hu's status was lower than hers. During the draft, the two were somewhat close, so she took great care of Hu. But now... all the care has disappeared and been replaced.
What's more, he is jealous of her for coming from behind.
Mrs. Hu was very happy about her arrival and personally picked her up and said, "I didn't expect that my sister would come to visit my sister today. Please come in quickly."
Yehenala concealed the jealousy in her heart, helped her in, and said: "I haven't seen my sister for a few days. I don't know how my sister is doing. I came over to have a look. Now that I see that my sister is fine, I feel relieved.
.”
Mrs. Hu took the tea offered by the palace servant and handed it to Yehenala herself, and said with a smile: "If my sister is worried about me, just ask Chuntao to come and let me know. My sister will come over immediately."
"How can I bear to make you tired?" After saying that, she said with a smile: "It's only a few days, but my sister's belly seems to be bigger. These two children are growing up really fast."
"They are growing fast, but my sister is almost going crazy from being tortured by them. Since the day before yesterday, she has been unable to lie down at night, otherwise she will not be able to breathe. She can only half-sit and rest. She is only seven months old now.
When I give birth, I really don’t know what will happen.”
Yehenara tried hard to maintain the smile on his face and said: "Who told you to be pregnant with twins? I don't know how many people are envious of your blessing. Even I am very envious. Your Majesty is
I have been hoping that you can bring good fortune from dragons and phoenixes."
Mrs. Hu lowered her head and smiled and said: "My sister also hopes that that day will come, so that she can live up to the emperor's kindness to my sister. But whether it is a boy or a girl depends on how God arranges it."
Looking at the joy in her eyes, Yehenala clenched her hands secretly, "I believe that God will give my sister the best result."
Mrs. Hu was overjoyed and said gratefully: "This is a blessing to my sister." After that, she said with emotion: "If I can have both children, and they will be with me forever, my sister will have no regrets in this life.
Already."
"Yes." Yehenala felt as if a poisonous snake was biting her heart. She did not want to continue talking about this topic, so she said instead: "By the way, there is no blood swallow in my palace. Chuntao went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask
Yes, they said it would take a few days to get it, but I wonder if my sister’s place is still enough?”
"Thank you for your concern, sister. I just got a box, which can be used for at least six or seven days." After that, she called Qiu Ju and said, "Go and get half of the blood swallows for Shu Bin."
Yehenara quickly said: "How to do this, my sister should keep it for herself."
"I gave half of it to my sister. It can still be used for three or four days. The Ministry of Internal Affairs should have it by then." Before Yehenala could speak again, she said: "We sisters should support each other.
Why does a sister need to be polite to her sister?"
Yehenala nodded and said: "In that case, I accept it." She did not ask about the origin of the blood swallow, because she already knew that it must have been given by Concubine Yu. It was originally two boxes, but she met him on the way.
When I arrived at the Hu family, I was forced to give one box to her. Just like now, she was pregnant with the dragon heir and should have received all the emperor's favor, but because Hu was pregnant at the same time, she was forced to give her more than half.
After having dinner together, Yehenara stood up and left. Little did she know that after she left, the smile that had been hanging on Hu's face slowly faded, replaced by solemnity and disappointment.
Qiu Ju noticed the change in her face and asked with concern: "Master, what's wrong with you? Did the two younger brothers kick you again?"
"No." Mrs. Hu lowered her head and caressed her bulging belly, sighed deeply, and said: "Qiu Ju, the imperial concubine has made everything right. Shu Bin is no longer the Shu Bin she used to be. Everything has changed."
It’s changed, it’s ridiculous that I still refuse to believe it.”
"Ah?" Qiu Ju exclaimed and said, "You mean, Empress Shu Bin is already jealous of you?"
Mrs. Hu shook her head and said: "Although she has been trying very hard to hide it, some of it has finally been exposed. In fact, I should have thought of it. Although Shu Bin is gentle to others, she is very cold in her bones. She does not care about the life or death of others.
In her eyes and in her heart, there is only herself. As for
She was kind to me before..." She smiled bitterly and said: "It's because I can't threaten her status, but now... everything is different. My existence has made her feel dangerous. This time it's not so much
Coming to visit me is more appropriate as a test."
Hearing this, Qiu Ju said anxiously: "But the master has no intention of arguing with her. It's better to make it clear to Shu Bin to prevent her from misunderstanding like this."
"It's useless, she won't believe it." Mrs. Hu sighed again and said, "The sisterly relationship between me and her has come to an end and cannot be repaired."
"Maybe it's not that bad, after all..." Before Qiu Ju could finish, Hu said: "You don't have to comfort me. It might not be a good thing to see through some things earlier, at least you won't be hurt too much.
Now..." She stroked her belly and said with gentle eyes: "My first priority is to protect these two children and prevent anyone from harming them."
