Before Ji Ling could say anything, Qilin suddenly climbed from her feet to her knees, and then from her knees to the table nimbly.
Before either Nanny Chen or she could react, Yinzhen had already frowned and yelled: "Qilin!"
Ji Ling saw a ball of fur flashing in front of his eyes. Before he could see clearly, Qilin had already pushed with his two little paws and pushed the sewing basket, including the scissors and colored needlework balls inside, to the other side of the table with a clatter.
aside.
Then it lay down, took over the position of the sewing basket just now, tilted its little head with a purr, and lowered its head towards Ji Ling - signaling Ji Ling to quickly touch its head.
It's acting coquettishly!
Grandma Chen was stunned for a moment, then coughed, and said with an awkward smile: "...This little puppy loves the queen, no matter how much the queen loves it!"
As Yinzhen stood up and walked around from behind the desk, he shouted for his servant to come in and slipped Qilinti away.
He leaned down, held Ji Ling's shoulders, and asked her carefully in a deep voice: "Are you not shocked?"
Ji Ling shook his head.
Yinzhen frowned slightly and said: "Qilin will be separated temporarily from now on and will be taken care of by my slave first."
When Nanny Chen came here from the Emperor, she squatted down and lowered her head.
At this time, she heard the emperor talking to the concubine, his voice was soft, and she immediately said knowingly: "If the emperor and the concubine have no other instructions, I will go out so that I can see how the bathing utensils are prepared."
Yinzhen did not raise his head, but raised his hand and waved.
Grandma Chen bent her knees again, stepped forward cautiously, and smoothly removed the sewing basket on the table.
After being taken out of the back room and into the main hall, she no longer had the frightened face she had just now.
Facing her, Bixue happened to be walking over with two new palace maids.
The two palace maids followed Bixue step by step, each holding a plate of steaming clean towels in their hands. They both had smiles on their faces. As they walked, they listened to what Bixue told them.
The two girls nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
This scene fell in the eyes of Nanny Chen. She glanced around Bixue, stretched out her hand to stop her, and cut her off halfway.
Although Grandma Chen had a polite smile on her face, this action was rude.
Just as Bixue was speaking carefully, she suddenly stopped and looked at Nanny Chen inexplicably.
Seeing the smile gradually fading on Nanny Chen's face, she slightly raised the sewing basket to show her, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty is pregnant now, so these scissors and needlework must not be seen. I was in the back room just now."
, I have already reported it to your Majesty."
Before Bixue could say anything, Nanny Chen was already talking to herself, and then said: "This sewing basket looked familiar to me. It was only after I thought about it carefully that I remembered - it was Bixue."
You use it to cut paper flowers in the main hall during the day, right?"
When she said this, she stuffed the sewing basket into Bixue's arms. There was no smile on her face. She put her hands squarely on her chest, her waist straight, and she said honestly: "Everything must be done from now on."
Be careful! Your Majesty is young, and she has just become pregnant with a dragon heir. She is your first child, so she cannot be more precious. In addition, your Majesty is unwell from time to time, so naturally you have no time to think about these things. As a slave, the most important thing is to
You have to remember to think of the master first in everything, so that you can be considerate of everything!"
Her tone was solemn and mature, with a sense of authority.
Bixue was stunned by what she said.
The two new maids at the back buried their heads and said nothing. After a while, they turned slightly, you looked at me, I looked at you, and they exchanged looks.
Xiao Fenzi directed two handy eunuchs to deliver the hot water for bathing to the entrance of the main hall. He happened to hear the last few words of Aunt Chen, and saw Bixue's face turning red and white at a glance.
He stepped forward, stood in front of Bixue, pulled Bixue hard behind him, slightly hugged his chest with his hands, took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "Xiao Fenzi congratulations to Grandma Chen!"
Grandma Chen stood there, motionless. Seeing that Xiao Fenzi was already in front of her, she instinctively raised her eyebrows and said with a bit of vigilance in her eyes: "Where does the joy come from?"
Xiao Fenzi raised her hand, without concealing the sarcasm in her voice, and asked with a smile: "Bixue has always been the smartest person in our courtyard. Even the master and Sister Qixi who are in charge often praise her, but in the end
The girls are young and not as experienced as grandma - looking at the admonishment just now by grandma, every word is to the point. The ability of grandma is really admirable. I think grandma Chen must have left the master's heart.
The grandma in charge is not far away, how can you not be happy?"
Grandma Chen's mouth tightened slightly.
A nanny in the main hall was standing by and witnessed the whole process. Seeing the awkward situation, she came over and pulled on Nanny Chen's sleeves and said with a smile: "How come I can't do the knotting method you taught me today?"
Please come and give me some advice!"
While chatting like this, I pulled Grandma Chen away.
Xiao Fenzi turned around, looked down at Bixue, and asked her quietly: "Where is Sister Qixi?"
Bixue said in a hoarse voice: "I went to the dining room. She said she was afraid that the master would be hungry at night and wanted to see how the supper dishes were. She asked me to prepare the utensils for the master's bath first, so as not to be late."
Xiao Fenzi didn't speak for a while. Bixue raised her head slightly and saw his eyes full of heartache and care, looking at her with burning eyes.
Bixue pursed her lips, and the two people's eyes met for a moment, before Bixue lowered her eyes and looked away awkwardly.
Xiao Fenzi still stared at her closely.
Bixue lowered her head, then suddenly raised her head to glance at Xiao Fenzi and said, "Thank you."
Xiao Fenzi's heart skipped a beat, and her voice was so gentle that it almost turned into water. She immediately took a step forward, lowered her head and said, "Do we still need to say this between us? It's just a waste of time!"
When Bixue heard his ambiguous tone, she closed her mouth tightly and said nothing. She just turned around and took the towel from the hand of the palace maid behind her, and went to the inner room.
…
According to the advice of the imperial physician, when a pregnant woman takes a bath, she must pay attention to the water temperature not being too high.
Bixue and Qixi carefully adjusted the water temperature, pouring hot and cold water back and forth. They repeated this process seven or eight times before it was just right.
When everything was taken care of, they both left and the room became quiet.
The two men fell down.
Yinzhen was afraid that she would touch her belly, so he kept alert. When he saw that Ji Ling was about to make some big move, he stopped him.
At this time I lay down and finally stopped.
In the darkness, Yinzhen stretched out his arms to hug Ji Ling, caressing her back and stroking her warm cheeks with his thumbs, and then said slowly: "I have made a decree today, Imperial Doctor Tong and Di
The two imperial doctors, after taking the safe pulse for you every day, will come to Jiuzhou Qingyan to report the pulse, and they are not allowed to cut it every day."
Ji Ling said nothing. In the darkness, he raised his hand to his face and felt for Yinzhen's hand.
She held his finger and shook it gently.
Yinzhen reached back to hold her hand and found that her hair was tangled in the button of his collar.
