In addition to this news, the emperor also sent an imperial emissary to the empress's palace, and conveyed a special oral message, saying that during the period of the concubine's pregnancy, she would pay her respects to her, and if there were any festivals and ceremonies in the Old Summer Palace, all matters, big or small, would be exempted.
It was like saying hello to the queen.
Finally, the imperial man did not forget to make up for the damage, and gave the emperor's detailed instructions: "Everything is according to the concubine Chen's wish!"
Oh, it's not that they are not allowed to participate - everything is according to Chen's mood. She can come when she is happy, and she can't come if she is unhappy.
... Ulanara responded with a virtuous look on his face and a smile.
With great difficulty, she held on to her skin and maintained a dignified smile on her lips. When she saw the Queen bowing and leaving, the Queen's face immediately collapsed.
She raised her hand and punched her temple hard with the tips of her middle fingers - there was a vein twitching there, just like her current mood, plop, plop, up and down, a mess!
She was leaning diagonally on the armrest of the phoenix seat, her shoulders seemed to be cold, and she shrank forward dejectedly.
Hua Rong looked worried and stepped forward to gently hold the queen's shoulders. He wanted to say some comforting words, but found that he couldn't say anything.
Ulanara's heart felt as if she had swallowed a big stone - the concubine was pregnant, which made her sleepless.
But now, the emperor loves Chen Concubine so much, and the thought that the Aixinjueluo family had never had affairs made her feel even more faintly afraid.
Yes, fear.
…
That night, I don't know if it was because of Yinzhen's company, but in short, Ji Ling didn't vomit acid water anymore, and he had a lot of food for dinner, which was very delicious.
Xiao Dazi held a detailed list in his hand, which was given to him by the two imperial doctors, on the precautions for preparing meals for the concubines.
In the end, the two imperial doctors also kept a young medical apprentice down, and stood in the dining room with natural patterns, gesticulating and instructing him for an hour.
Yinzhen still thought it was not appropriate, and said that in the future, the concubine can go directly to Jiuzhou Qingyan to pick up meals, and Jiuzhou Qingyan will allocate a dining room for the concubine specifically for her meals.
This evening, Yinzhen dined with Ji Ling.
At first, he moved his chopsticks a few times, but when the pastries were served later, Yinzhen put down his chopsticks.
He suppressed his smile and watched her eat.
He couldn't help but laugh every time he saw Ji Ling engrossed in the cake, holding the cake in both hands, chewing it quickly, and pumping his cheeks.
Very good. With such a good appetite, it seems that the body is in good condition!
When it was time to go to bed, the two of them were washed by the servants and lay down.
Yinzhen hugged her and patted her back repeatedly.
The two of them chatted for a long time. He smiled and lowered his head, listening to her leaning on his shoulder and telling him jokes.
Before some jokes were finished, she covered her mouth and started laughing.
Yinzhen also laughed - not because he was amused by the joke, but because he was silly and amused by her.
After Lingling finally finished her series of jokes, he began to talk to her about the business - now that she was a concubine, she still had to add the number of slaves that the courtyard should have.
In addition, there is a need to give birth to a nanny - because now there are young palace maids and little girls in the courtyard who are inexperienced. If there is any situation, it is better to be alert in advance so that nothing goes wrong.
At the end of his sentence, he kissed her cheek comfortingly and coaxed her in a gentle voice: "I know you like peace and quiet, but some help is indispensable!"
He taught her that old people like Qixi and Bixue, who are used to being close to her, should naturally be placed in the room, and other new slaves or those who are not attractive can stay away from them.
She can arrange whatever she wants.
"If there is anything else you want, tell me - I may not think it all carefully." He touched her head and asked her in a low voice.
Ji Ling reached out and hugged Yinzhen's waist, slowly shook her head and said, "No more."
After a pause, she revised: "It's gone for the time being."
Yinzhen hummed, raised his hand and ran it along her hair again and again. Seeing that it was getting late, he said softly: "Go to sleep."
As expected, Ji Ling closed her eyes obediently.
He watched her head gradually droop, and then slowly took out his arm and moved a little to the side, being careful not to touch her belly again.
Fortunately the bed is big enough.
…
On the second day, after Yinzhen left, as expected, everyone came to congratulate her in the morning - but they were very careful not to come too early, for fear of disturbing the concubine's recuperation.
If the former Jingyang Palace Ji nobleman was the new favorite and the most popular person in the Forbidden City, then the current concubine is almost red and purple, and is about to become the most popular person in the Old Summer Palace.
It was probably after Ji Ling fell asleep that he called Qixi to come in.
It's the morning when the sun is at its best.
The sunlight filtered in through the lattice of the curtains and fell on the pillow, making people feel bright and bright.
She got up to wash herself, and Qixi would repeatedly tell her to be careful if she made any big movements.
I feel much better this morning than yesterday. I haven't vomited acidic water or felt any discomfort since I opened my eyes.
Ji Ling lowered his head and touched his belly: Be good...
After Ji Ling had changed her clothes and combed her hair, and sat down at the dining table, she saw a large cup of black plum porridge in her breakfast.
She never liked eating this before because it would make it sour.
But it was different today. When she saw the bowl of black plum porridge in front of her, her index finger moved. She sat down and urged Qixi to quickly serve her a bowl.
Sure enough, pregnant women’s tastes change!
Qixi filled her porridge in a small bowl and carefully brought it to her. She carefully warned: "Master, be careful when it's hot."
Ji Ling took the spoon and tasted it carefully.
In fact, if it is said to be black plum porridge, there are very few black plums in it. It is just dotted with a layer of meaning on the top, which should be used to enhance the taste.
The bottom is filled with hot black rice porridge. Black rice strengthens the kidneys and replenishes qi. There are also a lot of black beans that look like black jade in the porridge. The black beans are extremely hot and simmered so rustling that your mouth is open.
They seemed to be smiling at her.
Just after finishing his meal, without even wiping his mouth, Ji Ling heard a bunch of duck-like laughter coming from the yard, which was particularly magical.
It was Concubine Qian who came over first, taking Guiren Li with her.
"Greetings to the Concubine Chen, may the Concubine Chen be blessed!" Li Gui is sweet-looking, and his smile is so sweet that sugar can squeeze out of his face.
Ji Ling shouted.
Concubine Qian came over and bowed. When she saw Ji Ling bowing slightly, she immediately grabbed her arm.
The little duck concubine Qian covered her mouth and laughed again, saying in rapid succession: "No way! No way! Concubine Chen's body is becoming more and more valuable now, and the emperor has said it - you are not required to go to the empress's place to pay her respects, and for all matters big and small
, are all exempted, who in this Old Summer Palace doesn’t know that you are now the emperor’s favorite!”
A pet peeve...
Qianbi's flattery was a bit disgusting, and Ji Ling suddenly got goosebumps all over her body.
She helped the concubine modestly and asked her to stand up. Her face was still polite and she said with a smile: "I used to be weak. Your Majesty and the Queen knew about it, so I took a closer look at it."
