Chapter 125 The human heart is insufficient, greedy, angry and ignorant
As soon as Mr. Ma heard the words "Emperor's eldest grandson", he stood still.
The previous maid who was weeding said: "You are talking nonsense. I'm afraid it hasn't taken shape yet. You already know it's a man and a woman?"
The other one said firmly: "I'm not talking nonsense. Let me tell you, even though I am the humblest servant in this palace, in fact, I have a fellow villager in the palace of Concubine Fu, who is also quite famous.<
/p>
It was she who told me that they bought Fang'er, a baby boy, and if she ate it, she would be sure to give birth to a son.
More than a month after she told me, news came out that the fifth prince's concubine was pregnant. Don't you think this is right?"
"Then it's just a pregnancy. How can we find a man and a woman? If that's the case, no matter how much it costs, those who want to have a son can just buy and eat them with money and their wish will come true. Why are there so many unsatisfactory results?
"The other one said with a smile, "If any doctor could come up with such a recipe, he would have made a fortune long ago?"
"What do you know? I was saying the same thing as you.
My fellow countryman said that this medicine is not affordable for ordinary people, and the medicine introduction alone is expensive.
Furthermore, even though this prescription is effective, the imperial court will not let it spread.
I wonder which family doesn’t want to have a boy? If every family gives birth to a boy, no one gives birth to a girl.
Wouldn’t they all become bachelors? Wouldn’t they be rebelling?”
"What you say makes sense," said the other, half-heartedly, "But when the fifth prince's concubine actually gives birth to a grandson, I will really believe you."
"Okay, we've finished the work here, it's time to go." The two men seemed to have finished weeding and headed over there.
After hearing this, Mrs. Ma no longer wanted to go to Concubine Ying. She had been married for five or six years and gave birth to two daughters in succession.
She has a very strong temper and wants to be the first in everything.
Besides, when a woman is married, there are only so many things she can compare with.
The most important one is to give birth to a boy.
What's more, the emperor looks forward to his eldest grandson so much that he promises such great benefits.
She and the second prince and his wife didn't say anything on the surface, but in fact they were so anxious that their eyes were red.
But she was also jealous. Although the second prince had two nominal concubines, she usually did not allow them to sleep with him.
It was unavoidable that once or twice, I would immediately send him the soup, and my close friends would watch it drink with their own eyes.
Ma family has long decided that a legitimate son must be born to protect the foundation.
It's just that she also tried many folk remedies, but none of them worked.
Unexpectedly, Lan Ning found it!
In her heart, she has always been jealous of Lan Ning.
I am jealous that she is more beautiful and knowledgeable than me.
I am also jealous of her deep relationship with the fifth prince and his wife.
The second prince was kind to her, but she knew that it was not a man's sincere love and care for a woman, but just fear of authority and fear of profit.
It is precisely because of this that she needs to give birth to a son even more urgently. With a son, she will have a backer, and she will not have to be afraid if her husband dies.
"Master, are we still going to Mulan Palace?" asked the maid next to me.
"I won't go now, let's go find Lan Ning." Ma's heart seemed to be burning with fire and she couldn't wait any longer.
"Master, what those two people said is probably not trustworthy," the maid advised, "They are all lies."
"Haven't you heard that sentence? A rumor that comes out of nowhere may not be silent.
Who is Lan Ning? Even though she is cute and soft, she is actually smarter than a monkey! Do you think she has ever suffered a loss?" Ma felt that this matter was 70% credible, "If you are not sure about her,
I won’t do it!”
"It doesn't matter what I say. Master, you usually treat the fifth prince's concubine well. Now she is pregnant and will give birth soon," another maid next to Ma said, "Let's ask her for this secret recipe.
, and it’s not in vain to use her.”
Ma went directly to Furong Palace, but unexpectedly came to nothing.
The palace servants told her that Concubine Fu and the Fifth Princess went to Tong'an Palace to pay their respects to Concubine Rong.
Ma immediately pursued him to Tong'an Palace.
Since Concubine Rong has received Concubine Fu and Lan Ning here, she has to let her in.
Ma's appearance skills are very good. He smiles and greets when he comes in, and speaks warmly and politely.
"You two sisters-in-law haven't seen each other for a while, right? You will inevitably feel a little restrained after staying here for a long time. Go out for a walk and relax!
If you are willing to eat vegetarian food, you can come back to my place for lunch." After talking for a while, Concubine Rong spoke.
Ma was about to ask Lan Ning, but after hearing what Concubine Rong said, she wanted to go out immediately, but she still took Lan Ning's hand and said, "Thank you, Concubine Rong, for your understanding. Let's go outside for a walk and then come back."
Concubine Fu was a little worried and warned: "My fifth daughter-in-law, if you are tired, just find a place to sit and don't walk too much."
Ma smiled and said: "Don't worry, my dear, I will never dare to burden my fifth younger brother and sister. She is so delicate now!"
As soon as she left the gate of Tong'an Palace, Ma couldn't wait to say: "Fifth younger sister, I see that your pregnancy is very stable!"
"Thanks to my second sister-in-law, this child didn't bother me too much." Lan Ning said softly.
"Fifth younger brother and sister, how do second sisters-in-law treat you on weekdays?" Ma said, holding Lan Ning's hand and holding it tighter.
"Second sister-in-law naturally treats me well." Lan Ning looked as usual.
"That's it. Now my second sister-in-law has something to ask of you, don't shirk it." Ma took another step forward.
"Second sister-in-law, what do you need my help with? If I can, I will never refuse." Lan Ning looked sideways at Ma and said.
"Then I won't hide it anymore. Let me ask you, did you take any medicine to conceive this baby?" Ma lowered her voice slightly.
"Medicine?" Lan Ning was a little confused, "I just took some commonly used anti-fetal drugs prescribed by Dr. Su last month. I only took them for half a month and then stopped."
"That's not what I'm talking about," Ma shook her head vigorously, "it's the secret recipe that can give birth to a son!"
She said the second half of the sentence close to Lan Ning's ear.
Lan Ning laughed when she heard this: "Where did my second sister-in-law hear about it? Why didn't I know there was such a thing?"
But Ma felt that she was lying: "I'm not joking with you, you know how much I want to have a son.
Besides, you are pregnant now, so the emperor’s grandson is naturally yours, and I won’t take it from you. I just thought that you could fulfill me, and the benefits will be yours.”
Seeing that she was speaking seriously, Lan Ning couldn't help but correct her expression, and patiently explained: "Second sister-in-law, you know that I am a person who is not born to lie. I really don't take any secret recipes.
To put it bluntly, I’m afraid I’ll eat it badly.
Besides, having children is a destiny, nothing can be forced by manpower. If there really are, I will give some to our sister-in-law without asking me for them."
Seeing what she said, Mr. Ma couldn't help but feel shaken, and said, "That's all, I just heard it from hearsay."
