When it was almost noon, Wen Xi ordered again: "Remember to chill the lotus root starch dumplings. Don't let them get too cold. The emperor will use them at noon." Wen Xi's taste of Kangxi was almost palpable now.
As soon as the order was given, Xiao Luzi suddenly came to report: "My Lady, the Emperor will not be here at noon today."
"Oh?" Wen Xi was stunned. Kangxi rarely broke an appointment, so he asked, "Did the emperor go to Yongshou Palace again today?"
Xiao Luzi raised his eyelids slightly, looked at his words and said: "No, Your Majesty??? Yes, I went to Yonghe Palace."
Yonghe Palace? Wen Xi laughed out loud: "Wu Ya has always been cautious, how dare you go to my palace and intercept someone? Could it be that I underestimated her courage in the past?"
Seeing that Wen Xi was not angry, Xiao Luzi did not dare to be careless and said cautiously: "It's Concubine De who is three months pregnant."
"What?" Wen Xi's eyes widened. Wu Yashi is pregnant again?! And she's still three months old? During this period, the concubines were showing their big bellies one after another. Guo Guiren's pregnancy was enough to make her stand out.
, I didn’t expect that this Wu Ya family was also very good at choosing the right time! Although Wen Xi was surprised, she did not question the authenticity of the matter. The concubine’s pregnancy had always been diagnosed and confirmed by three imperial doctors before being reported.
No matter how powerful Wu Yashi is, she can't bribe three imperial doctors at once!
However, Wu Ya's ability to conceive really surprised Wen Xi. In the 17th year of Kangxi's reign, she gave birth to her fourth elder brother, Yinzhen, and in the 19th year of Kangxi's reign, she gave birth to her sixth elder brother, Yinzuo. She gave birth to more than two elder brothers in a row. In the first year after Wen Xi entered the palace,
She was pregnant when she went to Mulan. She gave birth to a little princess with congenital defects in the 21st year of Kangxi. Not long after the little princess died, she became pregnant again, although she had a miscarriage??? In the 22nd year of Kangxi, that is, this year
, pregnant again! She was pregnant in the 20th year of Kangxi, she was pregnant in the 21st year of Kangxi, and she was pregnant again in the 22nd year of Kangxi. Are you a professional pregnant woman?! No wonder Wu Yashi rarely showed her face, and she entered the palace after her.
, Wu Yashi's career as a pregnant woman has been going on! It has been a year since Wu Yashi had a miscarriage last year, and one year is enough time for her to nurse her body back. Now that she is pregnant, Guo Shi is helping her share the risks!
Yi Fei gave birth to the ninth elder brother, "Yirmu" gave birth to the tenth elder brother, and Concubine De's pregnancy was about the same month as Guo Guiren's. Wen Xi touched her flat belly, I'm so sorry, ten buns.
You were originally supposed to be born in this belly, but unfortunately I took birth control pills and you had no choice but to move your birth position.
At this time, Song'er came in with iced lotus root starch dumplings and said in a low voice: "Master, these lotus root starch dumplings????"
Wen Xi suddenly came back to her senses from her deep thoughts. The way she touched her belly made people easily think of other things. She quickly took back her hand and turned to sit on the rosewood throne with auspicious cloud pattern on the side.
He said: "It doesn't matter, I just want to eat."
Song'er looked sympathetic and comforted: "Master, don't worry, with the emperor's favor towards you, you will be pregnant soon!"
Three black lines slid down Wen Xi's head???? This girl can really think wildly! However, Concubine De's ability to get pregnant is indeed something Wen Xi is afraid of, even though it is still many years before the arrival of the fourteenth prince. This pregnancy is very likely.
** is a princess, Concubine De seems to have a daughter??? But Wen Xi can’t wait to ask her to give birth to children one after another! We have to find a way. It’s best to make her never give birth again!
"I want to take a nap. Ask Qinglan to come to the Bisha Cupboard." Wen Xi ordered in a deep voice.
Song'er hurriedly put down the lotus root rice dumplings and said, "I understand, I must ask Qinglan to give Master a prescription to take care of his health! I have heard that Concubine De was pregnant after a year of recuperation!"
"
Wen Xi has black lines again??? Damn it, girl, can you please stop thinking about everything in that direction!!
At noon, the master and servant conspired, the contents of which are unknown to outsiders.
At the end of the afternoon, Wen Xi took Qing Lan to Yonghe Palace. Concubine De was as usual, except for her loss of temper during the battle for four buns, she had always been gentle and gentle, giving people a very gentle and kind feeling.
But if you go by your feelings, you will be tricked by her to the point where you don’t even know how to die!
Concubine De and her maids greeted her outside the palace. Her face was rosy and she was slightly fat, but her charm remained intact. She saluted very politely and said, "I haven't seen your concubine for many days, and she seems to be looking better!"
She stretched out her hand not to hit the smiling person. Wen Xi was here to plot against her, so she naturally responded with a smile and said: "It's hot, so naturally my face is red from the heat."
"Ouch!" Concubine De hurriedly blamed herself, "It's all my concubine's fault. Madam, please come in quickly. The sun is shining brightly outside. It's my concubine's fault to expose your concubine to the sun!" After saying that, she asked Wen Xi very politely.
Entering the palace, he complimented with a smile, "Your Majesty, your skin is as good as jade and snow, no one in the entire harem can match her! You must have put a lot of effort into taking care of her, right?"
Wen Xi sat safely on the main seat in the main hall, "When it comes to skin care, I am somewhat interested in it." Since Wu Ya asked about it, Wen Xi naturally said what she wanted to say, "I have
This recipe is just right for sharing."
Wu Yashi hurriedly looked very expectant, looked at Wen Xi attentively and said, "I am all ears."
Wen Xi lowered her head and took a sip of tea, and said leisurely: "Grind Tianshan snow lotus petals into powder, mix it with fresh milk, pearl powder, lotus seed powder, and poria powder to drink. It will warm the palace and nourish the body from the inside out, and the skin will be as natural as jade."
Wu Ya couldn't help but look regretful. This method is simple, but the main ingredients are difficult to prepare, so she said regretfully: "It's a pity that the annual tribute from Tianshan Mountain is only a dozen snow lotuses. How can I get this?" However, she secretly said
After remembering the recipe, several things in it are obviously beneficial and harmless.
Wen Xi smiled and said: "Yes, I only take it a few times a year. However, I was reading miscellaneous history recently and accidentally read that Zhang Lihua, the concubine of Empress Chen, tried every means to find beauty products in order to keep her youthful appearance forever.
Secret recipe. Finally, I found a beauty secret in Queen Mother Xi’s "Chinese Pillow Prescriptions". After using it, she became extremely beautiful, and thus she was favored by her queen in every possible way."
Wu Yashi couldn't help but get excited and hurriedly asked: "I wonder what the secret recipe is that has such a miraculous effect?"
"It's easy to say. This recipe requires one egg and three liang of cinnabar. When making the preparation, first grind the cinnabar into fine powder, then make a small hole in the egg, remove the yellow and leave the clear part, add the fine cinnabar powder, and then seal the small hole with wax.
hole, along with other eggs, let the hen hatch. After the other chicks hatch, take out the wax-sealed eggs, remove the eggshells, grind them finely and apply on the face. It is said that using this method on the face can make the face white and rosy, smooth and delicate.
It can also remove wrinkles on the face -" Wen Xi glanced at the corner of Wu Ya's eyes as she spoke. Concubine De had always paid attention to maintenance, but the continuous childbirth took a heavy toll on the body, not to mention that Concubine De was also considered a Kangxi emperor.
She is an older concubine, and wrinkles are gradually appearing, which may be her most distressing problem.
Wu Yashi carefully considered Wen Xi's words, "'It is said'? Hasn't the imperial concubine herself used it?"
With a proud look on her warm face, she stroked her delicate face and said: "This method is secondly about whitening, but more importantly, it has a miraculous effect on removing wrinkles. But at my age, I don't need to remove wrinkles yet. I plan to wait until the next day."
Don’t use it until you are fifteen years old.”
The gentle and tender face and the youthful and proud smile greatly stimulated Concubine De. Isn't Wu Yashi exactly twenty-five years old now? A twenty-five-year-old woman is also a woman who gives birth frequently.
Tiny wrinkles have begun to form in the corners of my eyes. Normally, I wouldn't be able to see them if I touch some makeup. But after I became pregnant, I didn't dare to use rouge and gouache easily, so the wrinkles couldn't be covered.
Wen Xi smiled and said: "I heard that the beautiful mother has an ugly son. It seems that Concubine De is pregnant with an elder brother."
As soon as Wen Xi's words came out, Wu Yashi's mood was ups and downs. She was naturally happy to be pregnant with her brother, but she couldn't be happy to be ugly! Wen Xi's words were not nonsense. If the woman was pregnant with a son, it would be a boy.
Male hormones will conflict with the mother's estrogen, causing endocrine disorders, making the baby look ugly; and if she is pregnant with a daughter, the mother's estrogen will increase, making the skin delicate and beautiful.
Wen Xi looked at Wu Ya's face with interest. No woman didn't care about her appearance, especially the women in the harem. If they wanted to keep the emperor, they had to keep their beautiful appearance. Wen Xi said,
He reminded: "Later generations called this recipe "Zhang Guifei Facial Cream", and it was widely popular in Zhu Di's palace in the Ming Dynasty! However, cinnabar is hot in nature, so to be on the safe side, it is best not to be used by pregnant women. If Concubine De is interested, she might as well postpartum
It is used to regulate the appearance, and I would also like to see the effect."
Seeing Wen Xi reminding her like this, Wu Yashi was surprised. Wu Yashi didn't know that cinnabar was hot in nature. If Wen Xi didn't remind her, she would have used it! Could it be that Concubine Wen Xi really had no intention of harming her child?
?Isn’t she jealous at all?
Cinnabar is cinnabar, the main component of ancient Taoist priests' elixirs. Even in the Qing Dynasty, which believed in Buddhism, Taoist priests who could make elixirs were very popular. No one thought cinnabar was harmful, but thought it was a precious and good thing! The ingredient of cinnabar is
Mercury sulfide is a heavy metal. Taking a small amount can calm the mind, calm the nerves, clear away heat and detoxify. However, if taken for a long time, the toxicity will accumulate slowly, and it will be poisoned, damaging the liver, kidneys and even the central nervous system. Long-term use can even make women infertile.
Zhang Lihua only gave birth to two sons and one daughter in the early stage, but after taking this drug, she no longer had children.
When Wen Xi talked about the prescription, she even tripled the dosage of cinnabar. The larger the dosage, the better the beautifying effect, and the more poisonous it would be. However, Wen Xi specifically asked her to take it after childbirth, which was not the case.
I just think that the child is innocent. If Concubine De has a miscarriage because of this, and her Wenxing is suspicious, then Concubine De cannot be allowed to be infertile in the future. Anyway, this baby is still pregnant with a princess????(To be continued. If
