Xia Qing shook her head and said: "It's nothing, I just felt a little emotional for a moment." She raised her eyes and said with a complex expression: "Some people do all kinds of bad things, even killing their own children, but they can still live freely and even have children around them. For God's sake
It’s really unfair.”
Mrs. Hu followed her gaze and said softly: "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. It's not that they won't be repaid, it's just that the time has not yet come." She patted Xia Qing's hand and said: "Be patient, even if it happens again.
The cunning fox will also show its tail one day, and you and I will definitely get what we want, as for having children around our knees..." Mrs. Hu chuckled and said, "Maybe she is carrying another girl."
Xia Qing withdrew her gaze from Wei Jingxuan, drank the wine in her glass in one gulp, and said coldly: "With her temperament, she will not give up until she gives birth to a son."
Mrs. Hu covered her lips and smiled and said: "What she thinks is her business. Whether God is willing to let her live is another matter. Perhaps, this is also a kind of retribution."
Xia Qing slightly twitched her lips and said, "Sister, I am more open-minded now. I still remember that when Brother Nine had an accident, I vowed to kill the Wei family and the Yehenala family to pay for it."
"It's not about looking away, but it's about being more tolerant." Mrs. Hu rested her back for a while and said: "Wei Jingxuan's ability to get to where she is today through many ups and downs is certainly inseparable from her means, but the most important thing is,
Or she can endure it. No matter how others treat her, she always greets them with a smile, and then acts weak and helpless in front of the emperor."
Xia Qing took the words, "After that, he bites me hard in secret, just like a dog!"
"Just understand, just wait. When she shows her tail, she will get back all the pain she has caused us with profit and loss. Now... just endure it for now; if you ask the Queen
My dear, she will definitely answer in the same way."
Xia Qing took a deep breath and said, "Sister, don't worry, I'm just complaining and I won't lose my sense of proportion."
Seeing what she said, Mrs. Hu calmed down and said kindly: "Remember, either you don't do it, or once you do, she won't be able to turn around."
The family banquet dispersed with different thoughts, and the following days were as calm as before. As autumn deepened, Wei Jingxuan's belly became bigger and bigger. The imperial doctor estimated that the birth would be in early October.
On this day, Wang Yuanping checked Wei Jingxuan's pulse as usual, cupped his hands and said, "I assure you, concubine, everything is safe with the dragon fetus, and he will be born in another month."
Wei Jingxuan put down her sleeves and said gratefully: "Thank you, Doctor Wang. It has been really hard for you to come to Yongshou Palace every day for the past six months to diagnose my pulse."
Wang Yuanping said quickly: "Your Majesty, you are serious. These are the duties of a minor official. How dare you say it's hard work."
Wei Jingxuan winked at Mao Gui, who knowingly put a gold ingot weighing about ten ounces into Wang Yuanping's hand. The latter was flattered and declined: "My queen is so favored, I am ashamed that I dare not accept it."
"This is what you deserve, take it, unless you think this reward from me is too light." Under Wei Jingxuan's insistence, Wang Yuanping had no choice but to accept the gold ingot, "Thank you for your generous gift, your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely accept it."
Try your best to protect the dragon fetus and prevent the queen and the dragon fetus from being in any danger."
"I feel relieved with the words of Imperial Doctor Wang." After a pause, Wei Jingxuan said, "I have heard that if you are pregnant until six or seven months, you can diagnose the gender of the fetus in the abdomen based on the pulse. I don't know if it is true or not.
.”
"This..." Wang Yuanping hesitated for a moment and said: "There is indeed such a saying, but it is just a rough guess and cannot be accurate." As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Jingxuan said: "In the opinion of Imperial Physician Wang, this pregnancy of mine is...
Male or female?”
This question has been lingering in her mind for a long time. You must know that she has given birth to two daughters, and they are not young. If this child is a daughter again, she does not know whether she can have another child; if she does not have a son, she will
Realizing that she was not qualified to ascend to a higher position, she might have to end up as a concubine for the rest of her life, which she absolutely could not accept.
Wang Yuanping said in embarrassment: "Please forgive me, I am really humble..."
"Mr. Wang, your medical skills are among the few among the imperial physicians. Don't tell me that you can't diagnose me. I treat you sincerely and hope you can do the same. Don't worry, even if you are wrong, I will never do it.
Blame it on you."
As the saying goes, eating people has short mouths, and taking people has short hands. Wang Yuanping had just accepted Wei Jingxuan's twelve taels of gold. It was difficult to say anything to evade him. His eyes flashed slightly. He lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty's pulse seems to be fast and slippery, jumping powerfully, and your Majesty's pulse
As mentioned before, after she became pregnant with Liujia, she liked to eat sour food, as the saying goes, sour children and hot girls, from this point of view, the mother is pregnant with a male fetus."
Wei Jingxuan's eyelids twitched and she said happily: "Do you really mean what Dr. Wang said?"
Wang Yuanping bowed and said: "Weichen calculated it based on her pulse and the empress's dietary preferences. As for whether it is accurate or not, Weichen cannot say for sure."
"I understand." Wei Jingxuan said happily: "If I really give birth to my brother, I will definitely reward you heavily."
"Thank you so much, I'll take my leave first." After he left, Mao Gui clapped his sleeves and knelt down, flattering him and said, "Congratulations, master, you finally got what you wanted."
Qiaoyu and others came to their senses and knelt down to congratulate her. Wei Jingxuan was in a very good mood and said with a smile: "Get up. If I really give birth to my brother, you will all be greatly rewarded."
"Thank you, Master." When she was able to stand behind her, Qiaoyu whispered: "Master, in this case, won't you have to think of ways to get the second lady into the palace?"
Wei Jingxuan glanced at her and said coldly: "Why not?"
"As long as Master you give birth to a little brother, the emperor will be happy, and since the concubine position is still vacant, he will definitely make you a concubine. When the time comes, you will be the fourth concubine, and you will have a little brother to rely on, so your status will be stable.
Whether the young lady enters the palace is not that important. Besides... I am sorry to say that with the situation of the second young lady, it is not easy to enter the palace."
"No one would object to having too many helpers, and I am no exception. Moreover, I have asked Xiuyan to do so many things in the past few years. It would be a pity to give up now."
"But the second young lady is already twenty-seven this year. There has never been a twenty-seven-year-old woman in the palace who entered the palace as a concubine, let alone the second young lady..." Qiaoyu looked at her and whispered, "Married before.
"
Mao Gui said from the side: "Master, what Qiaoyu said is somewhat true. The emperor's hope of accepting the second young lady as his concubine is really slim. In fact, Xin and Shen are very dissatisfied with the queen, but they dare to
If you are too angry to speak out, why don't you win over them and deal with the Queen?"
"Of course they want to win over Xiuyan... but also want to enter the palace." Without waiting for them to say anything, Wei Jingxuan added: "I know what you are worried about, but the things I have asked Xiuyan to do over the years are not in vain.
When you see her, you will understand why I have such confidence."
