Chapter 20: The thorns are full of unknown sky

When the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the spring swallows fly back to build their nests. WWW.tsxsw.COM The willow silk is wrapped around it, and the spring breeze is also entangled and heated up, making people sweat inexplicably.

After I became pregnant, Xuan Ling never came to see me once, and no one was allowed to come to visit. She was not even allowed to come to visit me even if she was close to Meizhuang, and she was not allowed to step into Tangli Palace. Fangruo was only allowed to stay with me for an hour every day and visit me.

daily life, or relaxing in Shanglin Garden. All other matters were left to the Queen.

I know that he hates me so much that I have discovered the secret that he concealed so well. I have put on the clothes of his beloved without permission. And I have also resented him for all these years.

The affection is ultimately wrongly paid.

Gradually, there is no need for resentment. Thinking of his easy suspicion and neglect of me in the past, I am nothing more than nothing in his heart.

The only person who can come and go at will is Wen Shichu, who brought me some news from the outside world. The guards who killed Liu Zhu have been sent to the "violent chamber" by Xuan Ling to do hard labor;

Although I had meritorious service, I resigned from all the rewards and remained his idle prince. Although my brother, sister-in-law, and parents were worried about me, they were helpless. Fortunately, Xuan Ling did not anger them. He was talking more about Meizhuang, and I asked him to send it off today.

A box of my favorite pastries was quietly brought to me. Tomorrow it will be a piece of paper folded into a wishful knot, with warm words of relief written on it, and the day after tomorrow it will be a finished child's bellyband. I understand what she means,

I felt relieved in my heart. Occasionally, Concubine Jing and Concubine Duan would privately ask Wen Shichu for some words of comfort, but the mausoleum seemed to have disappeared, without any sound or any sign of concern.

I smiled bitterly. Although the world was in a bleak state, she might not resent me in her heart.

The weather got hotter. By June, I had put on thin gauze clothes. After being five months pregnant, I felt sleepier and sleepier. I would often fall asleep while leaning on the imperial concubine's couch during the day, and I would fall asleep restlessly at night.

I was sick, my bulging belly made me restless, and my toes and thighs were cramped and sore from time to time.

Wen Shichu came to see it and said: "Your Majesty, you should make soup with bones and add a little vinegar. You should use tofu and fruits and vegetables on weekdays, which will relieve the symptoms of cramps. If you want to sleep peacefully, drink some milk before going to bed."

Huanbi kept it in mind while Wen Shichu wrote down some anti-fetal medicines and said: "Please forgive me for talking too much. I am not sleeping well. I am afraid that I have too many thoughts in my heart, which cannot be relieved by medicine."

I rolled up my sleeves and said with a half-smile: "Since you know it, why bother to say it again? I will go and report to the Queen later. Please send my regards to the Queen and say that everything is well with me."

He said: "The Queen is entrusted by the Emperor and does not dare to take the Queen and the unborn child lightly. She often calls the ministers to inquire."

I looked at him and said slowly: "As long as you know how to deal with it."

After Xu Xu talked for a while, I asked again: "The burn on sister Meizhuang's hand should probably be healed. Did Mr. Wen give the Shuhen Glue to sister? Is it okay for sister to use it?"

Wen Shichu's face darkened and he casually said: "Much better." He hesitated for a moment, but finally said nothing more. He only mentioned in detail that Meizhuang's injury had healed well. As for whether Shuhen Glue was effective, he was just vague.

At the end, he earnestly warned: "If An Fenyi has something to send to your Majesty, please let me see it before using it."

His diligent words and careful demeanor reminded me of his worried look when I took Shuhen Guo and Meizhuang that day. My heart skipped a beat and I became more and more uneasy. I maintained my composure.

With an air of dignity, I said in a quiet voice: "Your Excellency, you want me to calm down and raise the fetus and not think too much. However, Your Excellency is hesitant in speaking. Could it be that you are deliberately making me worried and uneasy." I looked around Tangli Palace, paused and said, "If you have anything to say, please don't worry.

To put it bluntly, is there anything I can't bear now that human relations have been turned upside down?"

His eyes flickered and he said hesitantly: "Then Shuhen Glue..."

His expression was full of intolerance and disgust. A flash of lightning flashed in his mind. He no longer wanted to believe it, but he had to believe it. Why did I often have fetal movement discomfort in the days before I lost my child? Why did I smell a few things in the palace of Concubine Hua?

An hour-old "Huanyixiang" knelt down for half an hour and then she became a baby? Why did Wen Shichu conclude that there was musk in my body after I was a baby, but Lingrong's explanation was because of "Huanyixiang"?

Musk? My body trembled violently, and I felt weak. I forced myself to calm down and asked Wen Shichu: "There is musk in the Shuhen glue, right?"

He was a little speechless and said: "Empress..."

I held my hand hard and breathlessly said, "Say."

He had no choice but to say: "Wei Chen... there is a heavy musk in the glue. If it enters the texture through the wound, it will be like taking it every day. Moreover, the glue has a strong floral fragrance. It is intended to cover up the smell of musk. If you are not a person who knows spices,

It can't be prepared." He held his robe sleeves tightly and said, "Actually, it may not be An Fenyi's doing. I am just speculating. After all, Shu Hen is glued in the empress's palace, and there are people who can come into contact with it..."

The Shuhen glue was prepared by Ling Rong herself, and I use it personally every day. I don't think anyone can come close to it. And if she didn't know how to mix spices, how could she have controlled it so that I wouldn't notice it?

I just don’t know if she wanted to do this on her own or if someone instigated her. Why did she hate me so much that she wouldn’t even let go of the child in my belly that day.

My body felt cold, hatred was entangled in my heart, my chest felt uncomfortable, and I felt extremely nauseated and depressed. I couldn't help but vomited out "Wow", and the floor was in a mess. Wen Shichu didn't care about the dirty things and hurriedly helped me.

Huanbi helped wipe it clean. Wen Shichu asked with concern: "Is your Majesty so disgusting?"

I leaned on the chair and smiled coldly and miserably: "People make me even more disgusting." I looked at him: "I was actually moved by all her disguises. I am not the most stupid person in the world!"

He hurriedly said: "If An's scheming is really so deep, who would know that it was not just the empress who was deceived by her! Mobile phone visit: 16Κ"

I lazily stood up. The sunlight outside the window screen was so bright and hot, shining whitely on the ground, which made people dizzy. I tried my best to endure it and asked Wen Shichu, "Does Sister Mei know about this?"

He shook his head cautiously: "I don't dare to speak nonsense."

I nodded and said carefully: "You must not let her know about this matter, otherwise she will not be able to withstand her temper. If this matter is really done by An Fenyi, it is definitely a scheming move. Sister Mei will definitely be hard-pressed to resist, let alone me."

With the palace in such a state of decline, she is even more helpless."

Wen Shichu nodded deeply, I thought for a while and then said: "Please remember to tell Sister Mei that no matter what, you must not offend the Queen and An Fenyi." I waved my hand and said: "Go back, I am.

I’m also tired.”

Huanbi hurriedly helped me into the inner hall and lay down, and said nervously: "Since An Fenyi is related to the miscarriage in the past, why don't the young lady let Shen Jieyu act according to the situation and make plans later? Why do you have to tolerate her in everything?"

I lay on the bed, my temples wet with sweat, and slowly fanned myself, saying: "In this situation, I can only let Meizhuang protect herself. What if she gets implicated by me? If I want her to change when the opportunity arises, Doesn't it mean that she is asking for her own death?"

Huanbi blushed and said, "I'm just worried about the young lady."

I said: "You go out, let me have a rest quietly." Huanbi responded and went out. I lay alone, my heart boiling. The affection between me and Lingrong is naturally not as good as that of Meizhuang, who I grew up with. Although she has always been close to her, even though there is some alienation in this closeness, I have not felt sorry for her in the slightest!

Is the human heart so terrible? I slowly fanned my fan, but my hands were shaking slightly. Ling Rong, Ling Rong, my mind was in chaos, the feelings of the jackdaw, the luck of the gold-threaded clothes, after I fell out of favor Under the guidance of the Queen, she sang loudly and gained favor again. After she was favored, she cared about whose words Xuan Ling favored more. The Queen persuaded me to use Shuhen glue to heal the scars on my face. Those clues from the past and all my experiences Suspicion became clear and threaded through my deliberate thoughts.

The bits and pieces that I ignored or deliberately didn't suspect suddenly collapsed in front of me, all falling into pieces.

The Queen and Ling Rong, what kind of tacit understanding there is between them. The Queen who I once relied on was also plotting against me behind my back, and holding Ling Rong's hand, Concubine Hua was just a scapegoat. That’s all.

I was so angry that I almost vomited blood, and with a "click" I broke the fan in my hand into two halves.

I slept alone at night. The hot weather made me toss and turn, but I didn’t dare to want to cool off. I was so worried that I finally got up and walked barefoot to the corridor at the back of the hall. Through the window screen blown by the wind, Huanbi fell asleep on the table. After Liu Zhu's death, she took care of all my affairs closely, and also had to warn me of sudden thirst and cramps in the middle of the night, so she was very tired.

The moonlight in the corridor was separated by dense or sparse leaves, and was sifted into fragments of bright light. The pear blossoms had faded long ago, and there were many small green pears on the trees, like children's clenched fists. It was desolate in the middle of the night. The strong wind filled my thin pajamas with the lingering fragrance of flowers. My five-month pregnancy was already obvious.

I remember that when I was pregnant for the first time, I was also under this pear tree. The pear blossoms were blooming as if covered with ice and snow, and the fragrance was blowing on my face. The love I had with Xuan Ling at that time was like a spring dream in a young girl's boudoir, just like these years, they passed by in a hurry. Never come back again.

Now, this pregnancy is so hard for me. I can only feel frightened and frightened. It seems that I have never reached the lowest point.

The wind blew my long hair away, and the unknown insects chirped in the distance, gently brushing my increasingly sharp face. I suddenly burst into tears at a loss. Even though I was crying, I tried my best to suppress it into a wisp of lightness. His sobs were scattered in the night wind.

A pair of hands gently put the clothes on my body. I turned around, but it was Jin Xi. She said with concern: "My queen ran out barefoot, be careful to catch a cold."

She held a pair of soft satin shoes in her hand, helped me sit down and carefully put them on for me. She just ignored my tears and hatred and said slowly: "Shouldn't your Majesty feel happy?"

I questioned: "Happy?"

"My Majesty has been suspicious of Young Master An's intentions several times. If she was a secret assassin in the past, today she is an open weapon. My Majesty is better able to take precautions, right? Now that your Majesty is in the light, there will naturally be one less enemy in the dark." Okay." She asked me softly: "Mother, are you sad about the sisterhood that day?"

I wanted to nod, but instead sneered, "Now it seems that she and I can still live up to the term 'sisterly love'?"

Jinxi sat calmly at my feet and said with an indifferent smile: "The love between the empress and Shen Jieyu is indeed rare. Since it is rare, there is no need to expect everyone to be like this."

I spoke, feeling sad in my heart: "I really don't understand why she treats me like this?"

Jin Xi smiled: "My Lady, you don't need to understand. If you find out one day, it will definitely be an extremely ugly truth. Your Majesty does treat An Fenyi very well, but in this palace, if you don't treat her well, she will treat you well." .”

I know that I don't have any ability to fight back at the moment. Even if I bite my silver teeth with hatred, I must be patient.

I brushed away the messy hair from my eyes and said, "You are right, good and bad are all for self-interest. I also suspected that she might be instigated by others, but whether it was her will or not, what she did was what she did. ." I shook Jin Xi's hand and said gratefully: "Jin Xi, you always make me understand in time."

She was a little shy, but more calm, "This slave has grown up in a deep palace since she was a child. Now she is thirty years old. Naturally, she has seen nothing and understands nothing." She said gently and firmly: "Anfen There may be someone behind the scenes who was instigating what happened to Yi. No matter what happened to her, it would be extremely unworthy if the empress harmed herself because of her. Please rest assured, the empress." She sighed: "Actually, this is nothing, empress. Love only makes you sad. In the palace, even sisters can turn against each other, let alone sisters who are not sisters."

I was so moved by her words that I didn't know what to say, so I slowly relaxed my mood and went to sleep peacefully.

When I was six months pregnant, the weather was the hottest. I am naturally the most intolerant of heat. I couldn’t eat raw or cold food when I was pregnant with a baby. I felt more and more anxious and a little irritable. What I was happy about was the movement of the fetus in my belly. It seems a little obvious.

That day, I was taking a nap in the palace. Since I was pregnant, I had always slept poorly. It was rare to have a good sleep. Everyone was happy. For fear of disturbing my sleep, only Huanbi was left to fan beside me. .The thunderstorm just passed at noon, and the cool wind from the north window slowly blew in the cool water vapor. I slept very comfortably.

In the haze, I felt that Huanbi's hand was very strong, and the wind blew loudly, which made me feel more comfortable. I was dreaming of a distant dream. It was the year when I was lucky enough to be in the Taiping Palace, and I was also taking a nap at noon. The weather Hot, Xuan Ling came to see me. Those love words were vaguely and vaguely whispered in my ears, low and gentle. He suddenly called me: "Wan Wan, your 'Jinghong Dance' is so good. "I was dressing up in front of the mirror, and he traced Yuanshan Dai for me with skillful gestures. In fact, my eyebrow shape is more suitable for Liuye eyebrows. I suddenly became frightened and shouted: "Silang! I am Huan Huan, not Wan Wan. , it’s not Wan Wan!” But he just looked at me affectionately, and still said calmly: “Wan Wan, your Jinghong Dance——”

I had a splitting headache and almost cried. The Jinghong Dance dance was confusing and swaying, as graceful as a Jinghong, falling like flowers in the rain. A faint flute sound followed me around me. Was it the sound of a flute or a flute? I could hardly

My mother's laughter sounded clear to my ears: "I learned the Jinghong Dance because I wanted to show it to my beloved husband. How can the dance that my daughter's family has worked so hard to learn so easily be seen by others?"

I felt so uncomfortable that a big warm hand covered my forehead in a daze, and I worriedly asked: "Is she always like this? She can't sleep well."

That was clearly a man's voice, Huanbi's voice was low, "Miss always doesn't sleep well and doesn't eat well."

He said "Oh", and a cool piece of silk was placed on my forehead, which made me feel more comfortable. It seemed as if there were hands touching my increasingly rounded belly, but it was not real, it was a very slight touch. I only felt sleepy and vague.

Hearing him whispering questions and answers to Huanbi, he still fell into a deep sleep.

It was already night when I woke up. I struggled to get up and said, "My belly is getting bigger and bigger, and it becomes even more inconvenient to move around."

Huanbi smiled and said, "Young lady's figure is not bloated at all."

I smiled slightly and asked, "I seemed to hear you talking to someone just now. Has anyone been here?"

Huan Bi said: "Who is coming now? It was Xiao Yunzi who just came in. Seeing that the lady was sweating while sleeping, he put a cold handkerchief on and came in." I saw that there was indeed a snow-white square towel at hand, which seemed to be used to wipe sweat.

, I didn’t take it seriously, and was about to call Huanbi to get water to drink. Suddenly I felt a movement in my stomach, as if I had been kicked. I froze in place and didn’t dare to move. After a long time, it happened again.

.

I shed tears of joy, took Huanbi's hand and put it on my stomach, saying incoherently: "Listen! Listen! It's kicking me."

Huanbi threw away the things in her hands and said happily: "Is it true?" She pressed her face close to it, "Miss! It seems to be moving, as if... it's stretching."

The signs of life were pulsing so clearly that I was so happy that I didn't know what to say. Huanbi held my hand, her face full of joy and excitement: "Miss..." She also shed tears.

I smiled quickly and said, "Why are you crying?" I gently stroked my bulging belly and said, "You are its aunt, you should be happy."

Huanbi smiled with tears in her eyes, and became more and more happy, "He is a good boy, and he knows how to be considerate of his mother, so he did not suffer from nausea and vomiting some time ago. He will definitely be the most filial prince in the future!"

I just smiled and said quietly: "Why does it have to be a prince? I would rather be an empress."

Huanbi said "Huh" and said curiously: "Don't you wish you were a prince? Only with a prince can you stand up and be favored again."

I shook my head indifferently: "Favour? I don't care about it. I just hope that my child will grow up safely." I lowered my head and said softly: "If you are an emperor, you can avoid getting involved in the battle for the right to inherit the throne in the future.

Do you know that the battle for the throne in the imperial family has always been a life-and-death battle, which is too bloody." I hesitated for a moment, "Besides, this child may not necessarily be liked by his father."

Huanbi thought thoughtfully and said softly: "That's hard to say. I just hope that this child will be safe."

I smiled peacefully and said nothing. I restrained myself enough to feel such pure joy and happiness for the first time. This child was alive and growing in my belly. The greatness and vitality of life were deeply felt at this moment.

It deeply infected my tired heart that was soaked with sorrow and hatred. All my resentment and hatred, sadness and unwillingness were eliminated at this moment. Only this little life is where all my hope and love are tied.

When autumn comes, my body becomes heavier and heavier. On sunny days, Fangruo comes to accompany me and walks in the Forest Garden for an hour every day to relax, so as to help me give birth. It is obvious that Fangruo has been ordered,

He rarely talks to me about outside matters. Occasionally when he sees me tired from walking, he just sits with me silently and doesn't talk much. However, the care and distress in his eyes are undisguised.

My walking gradually became a little difficult, and I had to be supported by someone all the time. I was thin and pale, with only my belly round and protruding. From a distance, I could only see my belly. When Aunt Fangruo saw no one around, she sighed in a low voice.

: "If I had known that today would be a disaster, I would rather not teach my empress that day, lest I enter the palace and suffer this sin."

I looked at the high sky, where there were flocks of wild geese flying south. The sky in all directions with the high red walls of Ziao City was as blue as a bank of jasper, without a trace of clouds. It seemed to always be so bright and clear. I smiled slightly, feeling lonely and quiet.

, this kind of weather is very similar to the day when I first entered the palace. At that time, I was speculating about the future with great anxiety. Just like me now, I never know where the road ahead will go. I

He smiled faintly and said: "Both my aunt and I are not saints, so how can we know what will happen in the future? On any day, we only care about the present."

Fangruo had no answer and was silent for a moment, then said: "Actually, the emperor cares about the empress very much."

"Really?" I raised the corners of my lips slightly as a smile, "Are you concerned about me or the child in my belly?" The warm autumn sun bloomed on me like a hibiscus, and I squinted my eyes slightly and said: "

If my aunt said this to a few new nobles, they would definitely be happier than me."

She hesitated to speak, and finally said no more.

A woman's laughter came from a distance. They were the nobles who entered the palace last year. The noble Qi people were promoted to Qi concubines, and the Rui noble people were also promoted to Rui concubines. Now they are favored by Xuan Ling, Fu noble people and Xiang noble people.

I was not very proud, and still did not get the title of Jin Dynasty. Qi Concubine saw me from a distance, and saluted me. Xianggui seemed to be reluctant, and tugged at Qi Concubine and muttered: "The emperor only gave her the treatment of a concubine, and Qi Concubine

Sister, you are the same person, why do you need to pay her such a big gift?"

Qi concubine did not comment, Rui concubine was always out of the world. After saluting, she only smiled at me and ignored Xianggui's words. Next to her, Fugui frowned at Xianggui and signaled her to be silent, and smiled at me as a greeting.

Mr. Xianggui ignored her and walked away alone.

I turned a deaf ear to Mr. Xianggui's words. When Fangruo saw them walking away, she smiled and said, "Mr. Fugui is really an honest person."

The little palace maid who followed Fangruo was holding a fruit plate and interjected: "Isn't it sincerity? I heard that the noble Xiang people dared to go to her palace to invite the emperor away, which made the noble Fu unable to see him for three months.

Your Majesty, she is also surprised to see Tian'er smiling, so she is not unhappy at all."

Fangruo glared at the little palace maid and said, "Are you allowed to talk nonsense about noble people behind your back? Go down and you are not allowed to serve me again."

The little palace maid looked aggrieved and curled her lips, not daring to cry. I smiled lightly and said, "Aunt Fangruo is too careful. I only take her words as a joke."

Fang Ruofang softened her words and said, "I have a body, so why should I listen to these good and bad words?"

I just said: "I have done both good and bad things myself, why are you afraid to hear about it?"

At that time, the blue waves of Taiye Pond were clear, and there were countless small shadows of the sun in the gentle waves, which made people feel brilliant and unreal. After sitting for a long time, I felt a little cold all over my body. I stood up and said, "Go wherever you want." Let's go for a walk, it's a bit cold after sitting for a long time." Fangruo agreed, and Huanbi helped me up.

I even want to visit Meizhuang, but every time Fangruo pays attention, it always fails. Whenever Meizhuang comes within three feet of me, Fangruo will look at me with a pleasant look and ask her to stay away. Although she looks kind and pleasant, Xuan Ling's purpose is to Meizhuang. After all, he just looked at me from a distance for a moment, then turned around and left.

I walked slowly along the Taiye Pond. The autumn light was picturesque, and the lotuses were lifted round by the wind. There was no sign of withering or falling away. Shanglin Garden is always so beautiful, with boundless spring scenery and rich autumn mood. Even in winter, it is made of silk. Decorated with flowers and leaves, they are like the beautiful women in the palace. A group has grown old, and a new group has come in. Their bright red lips, smooth faces, undulating eyes, and slim figures are like endless spring flowers. Once upon a time, I was also the most beautiful flower in Shanglin Garden.

The swing we played on that day is still there, but the wisteria and duruo on the swing have withered long ago, leaving only a small rope. The swing is empty, as if no one has used it for a long time, and the flower tree next to the swing is blooming like silk. The apricot trees had already turned yellow and their leaves were golden. I was distracted for a moment, as if it was still the same lush years. I turned around and met the tall and tall Xuan Ling. Everything, I couldn't avoid, started beautifully like this. My words from back then are still vaguely in my mind, "Although apricot flowers are beautiful, the apricots they produce are extremely sour, and the almonds are even bitter. What's the point of doing things for people if they all start well but end badly? It's not as good as pines and cypresses, which are green all year round. , it’s just that it has no flowers and no fruits.”

As if a prophecy came true, Huanbi was lost in thought when Huanbi reminded: "Miss, it's time to go back. The small kitchen made braised partridge with northern and southern apricots and Sichuan clams. It's the most nutritious to eat at this time."

I smiled bitterly after hearing this: "Partridge stewed with apricots? Forget it the apricot flowers have already bloomed."

Huanbi thought about it for a moment and understood immediately, and couldn't help but blush. Seeing her embarrassment, I changed the subject and said, "I happen to be a little hungry, let's go back together."

Just as he was about to get up, he saw Xuan Qing coming from the front with a few eunuchs, so Fangruo stepped forward first and said, "Well, Your Majesty." To stop me, Fangruo didn't react for a moment, but Xuanqing calmly approached me, exchanged greetings with me, and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time." His eyes fell on my big belly for a moment. He was happy and helpless, and quickly said: "Little Wang has not yet had time to congratulate your concubine, so I would like to congratulate you here."

I smiled solemnly and said, "Your Majesty, you're welcome." I paused and said, "Is Your Majesty going to pay his respects to the Queen Mother?"

There was a warm smile on his face and he said: "I just came from the imperial brother's place and was about to visit the Queen Mother." He smiled calmly: "I came in a hurry and didn't have time to send a congratulatory gift to your concubine."

I smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." My eyes accidentally passed by and stopped on the flute at his waist, and I said casually: "I haven't heard the sound of silk and bamboo for a long time, and I feel that the taste of my tongue has become dull."

He understood and said: "What does the empress like to hear? Xiao Wang takes this as a congratulation."

""Xinghua Tianying"." I blurted out, but then regretted it. This piece of music was played when I first met Xuan Ling, but now it has no meaning.

Xuan Qing lowered his head, took the flute to his lips, and began to play slowly. I took two steps back and listened quietly. I was still young at the time, and I only knew that the music was good, but the deep meaning of the music was not very clear.

Now that I understand it, I realize the vast tide of melancholy in the song, the sadness that good times don't last forever, and the sadness that has nowhere to go. The song is not convenient, but the feelings are different.

Xuan Qing's expression was serious and focused, something I had vaguely seen before. My eyes flicked across his face, and for the first time I had the thought that the person I liked was, after all, the emperor Xuan Ling.

He is still the gentle man who stands out among the apricot blossoms in the sky.

Before the song ended, I interrupted Wen Ran and said: "Your Majesty must be in a hurry to pay his respects to the Queen Mother. I can't disturb you. Your Majesty, please do so."

A strange and compassionate light flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Your concubine, please do so." He said to the eunuch beside him as if unintentionally: "I heard that the Queen Mother is dry in autumn and has no appetite. In this palace, we often stew soup with white fungus and wolfberry.

Come and take supplements, and I will order someone to take it from the palace and send it to you later." His concern was so subtle that there was no trace of it, and I just stood indifferently.

The eunuch smiled and said, "It's important. I'll let the Ministry of Internal Affairs select it later and feed it to the Queen Mother."

Another eunuch said: "That is the prince's filial piety towards the queen mother. How can it be compared with the things from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Xuan Qing smiled and said nothing, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just said: "Your concubine, please take care of yourself." and left in a hurry.

After I returned to Tangli Palace and lay down quietly to rest, Huanbi waved the fan beside me and said, "I wonder if this slave is overly concerned, but I always feel that the way Mistress Qi Bin treats the young lady is a bit weird."

I held my chin and looked through the small clothes prepared by the palace people for the children with one hand. I softly said "Oh" and said, "How do you say it?"

Huanbi thought about it seriously and said, "I'm just suspicious. Last winter, when the young master came into the palace, he mentioned that the second brother of the concubine, Guan Xi, was going to marry the second young lady on the Double Ninth Festival. Why was it that it was already August and there was still no movement at all?

nor."

I didn't take it seriously, I just thought that if my previous pregnancy was really due to the Queen and Lingrong, how could there be no news at all this time, even though I asked Xuan Ling's will and asked the Queen to take care of all the matters during my pregnancy.

So I sighed lightly and said, "I'm like this now, how can people dare to have relatives with my family at will?" I pressed down my clothes and said, "Who knows whether the housekeeper is watching or not? Such an in-law, Yu Yao

It doesn’t matter if you don’t marry.”

Huanbi nodded and said unfairly: "The young lady just lost power for a moment, how come she is pregnant with the emperor's flesh and blood? Why should they be like this?"

I smiled and dusted my sleeves, and said, "This is not the first time you have seen the hot and cold world. Why are you so angry? Help me put away these clothes."

Huanbi responded and turned back after a while. She was holding a porcelain bowl in her hand, but it was a bowl of white fungus and wolfberry. She smiled and said: "The stewed partridge just now didn't taste good, why don't you try this."

The slave girl just asked the kitchen to make it."

I said, "Why are you doing this?"

Huanbi pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "The prince specifically told me just now that this is appetizing, so I dare not not take it seriously."

I understood in my heart and pretended to be curious: "Huh? Why didn't I know what the prince told you?"

Huanbi said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, if you really want to mention whether the Queen Mother has a good appetite, why should you say it in front of us? Earlier, the young lady mentioned that her tongue was dull, so this is my guess."

I joked: "Oh, how come the prince's words are so clear to your ears?"

Huanbi blushed with embarrassment, turned around and twirled her clothes and said, "Other people naturally don't know, but I know that the prince has been taking care of us for a day or two. Why should I make fun of you?"

I smiled and said: "Okay, okay, because of your intentions, I will just eat it."
