Ji Ling looked confused. Before he could speak, Rong Yasheng suddenly let out a low cry with a look of pain on his face. He immediately put the teacup on the table beside him, spread his palms and blew air repeatedly.
The tea cup was not placed properly and fell down after being shaken on the table.
Concubine Yu and Concubine Qi, who were watching the show in the front row, heard the noise and both turned around.
Uranara turned his head, saw this scene, frowned, and said in a low voice: "Chen concubine, Rong promised to be a timid and honest person. Knowing that Cheng Chong will inevitably make you unhappy, so he panicked
She comes to offer tea in fear, Chen concubine, why do you punish her for holding the tea but not taking it?"
Zhang Guiren was behind, and he quickly stood up and walked over, blocking in front of Ji Ling, squatting down to Uranala and saying: "I'm afraid the queen saw it wrong. I was just behind, and I could see it most clearly -
-Rong agreed to come over to serve tea, but it was just a matter of words, how could the concubine be punished?"
Mao Bi was beside her. She patted Guiren Zhang's arm with a smile, pulled her back, and said with a smile on her face: "The Queen is kind-hearted. I promised you that she came from Kunning Palace, so the Queen is naturally more kind."
Be more concerned. Perhaps because of his tender hands, he dropped the tea cup before he could even say half a sentence."
When Concubine Qi heard the word "tender hands" nearby, she immediately covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed. Then she glanced at Hua Rong with a joking look on her face and gloated: "Rong has agreed to be a slave for a long time, so it should be right."
She has rough skin and thick flesh. It seems that the Queen cares about her too much and does not let her do rough work. She can't even hold a cup of hot tea!"
When Concubine Qi said these words, Empress Ulanala's face turned red and white for a while, and she suddenly became a little helpless. Seeing that everyone actually stood up to support the concubine, her heart became even heavier.
At this time, Ji Ling stood up unhurriedly, respectfully blessed Uranala, and then said with a calm smile: "There is so much noise on the stage, and the Queen is sitting in front again. I'm afraid there won't be anything for a while."
Look carefully, I misunderstood my concubine."
Mao Bi smiled and said, "Chen Bi always treats others kindly, so I guess she won't be like that."
The atmosphere became awkward.
Fortunately, at this time, there was a ding-ding-dong-dong sound on the stage, and it was a very lively martial arts show. Flags were waved on the stage, and a scene of a battle between two armies was performed, which attracted everyone's attention.
Upon seeing this, Ulanara took a deep look at Rong Yasheng and motioned for her to come back.
When Concubine Qian saw Zhang Guiren still standing beside her, she immediately stood up, held down Zhang Guiren's shoulders with a smile like a flower, and said: "I forgot, Zhang Guiren, you and Concubine Chen have always been on good terms. Come on, sister, sit down."
!”
Zhang Guiren naturally had to be polite, saying that it was the position of the empress, how could a maid and concubine sit randomly? Concubine Qian took her hand and asked her to sit down, turned around and went to the side, and then looked for Li
Sir, please speak.
Zhang Guiren sat next to Ji Ling, neither of them said anything. After the martial arts scene passed with a rumble, Zhang Guiren slowly breathed out, held the tea cup to his mouth, and whispered:
"Sister Ji, you haven't bothered with her yet, but she came to stir up trouble on her own!"
Ji Ling reached for a piece of pastry in front of him and gave it to Zhang Guiren. He stared at the stage and did not turn his face. He just tilted his head towards Zhang Guiren and whispered in a low voice: "Don't worry, it's still outside. Let's go back."
Say it again."
She also took a piece of pastry, put it into her mouth and chewed it slowly. Although she could still hear the music and songs on the stage, her mind was no longer on the stage.
She wanted to laugh a little bit - what the Queen did was a bit too petty. Let's not talk about other things, but let's talk about one point: the Emperor had already left the table, just to show off her domineering look of relying on favors and bullying.
, and who should I show it to?
…
In the blink of an eye, the first month has passed, and in February, Ji Ling's birthday will be celebrated.
The original owner's birthday was February 14th, Ji Ling thought that this day was really easy to remember.
In the Qing palace, concubines were rewarded with silver for their birthdays, and the first-level concubine was rewarded with three hundred taels of silver. However, for the very few concubines who were particularly favored by the emperor, the rewards would also increase according to the emperor's wishes.
Ji Ling's silver reward became four hundred taels.
In fact, these four hundred taels are nothing compared to the reward Yinzhen gave her - just a few pots of gem bonsai, which are more than this number. In addition, there are many rewards: a white jade Suo Zi Kui Fu Chime
Pieces, an agate plum blossom bowl, an amethyst lioness, a black flower stone hero's cup, all symbolize good luck and longevity.
In addition, during breakfast and lunch, Su Peisheng personally brought people from Yangxin Palace to deliver the emperor's reward: eight longevity dishes, eight meat dishes, eight boxes of snacks, and a basket of snow-pointed peaches for her to make longevity peaches.
It's still freezing outside, but you can actually eat snow-capped peaches in the Forbidden City. Su Peisheng said they were shipped from the south. Each peach is a light green color with a white top, which looks like a snow cap.
It also tastes very sweet.
On the day of her birthday, Yinzhen accompanied her to dinner in Chengqian Palace, and there were all kinds of whispers and tenderness. Of course, there was no need to say more. When she fell asleep, Ji Ling suddenly thought: Today has actually been a wonderful day.
It's the birthday of the original owner. When it's my birthday, I have to buy a bowl of longevity noodles for myself.
In February, the grass grows and the orioles fly, and in the blink of an eye it is March, which is full of spring.
Ji Ling's belly began to swell completely at this time. Ji Ling looked at it day by day and felt as if there was a balloon in his belly and he was constantly blowing air into it.
She actually has a physique that doesn't show off her pregnancy very much.
In the second trimester, her belly was not exaggerated, so she did not feel any obvious difficulty in moving before. It was only then that she realized the pain of a big belly - her waist often hurt, especially after standing for a while, she had to sit down immediately.
, otherwise the sinking force of the waist and abdomen will become heavier and heavier.
I feel like I can't even move forward when I walk.
Ji Ling knew that this was because the baby was getting bigger and bigger. With the pressure, the waist tilted forward and the spine curved, which would cause pain. He had to lie flat on the bed and not move as much as possible. Anyway, the aristocratic life at this time,
There was no need for her to do anything.
But Grandma Chen didn't let her lie down for long, and began to urge her to insist on getting out and walking - this was a critical period, she must not be lazy, she had to move around more, and start it later, so as not to eat too much
Despite the pain, she gave birth to a child smoothly.
Ji Ling recalled that before time travel, she saw the abdominal support belts worn by pregnant women.
She drew a pattern on the paper for Qixi, and asked Qixi to draw the gourd and make one for her.
As a result, Qixi tried to make it three times, and only on the third time did it come up with a decent finished product.
Ji Ling also warned her not to do it too tightly for fear of compressing the baby.
Sure enough, after using the abdominal support belt, her back pain was greatly relieved, and the baby's fetal movements became more and more obvious.
By the end of March, both Imperial Physician Tong and Imperial Physician Di began to remind them to prepare for the birth. Although the baby was expected to be born in early May, women gave birth to various situations. It was very difficult to prepare a month and a half in advance.
normal.
As soon as this matter was put on the agenda, the atmosphere in Chengqian Palace immediately changed.
At Yinzhen's place, he took the nuns to the Yangxin Hall and lectured them several times. Three nuns were waiting day and night in the Chengqian Palace, and two grandmas, who were commonly known as midwives among the people, were also sent here, day and night.
He stayed in the wing next to the front hall of Chengqian Palace, fearing that the concubine would suddenly take action and take care of him immediately.
Grandma and the nuns were guarding the Chengqian Palace. In the Taiyuan Hospital, Yinzhen personally made a decree that Dr. Tong and Dr. Di did not need to worry about other chores and could only focus on taking care of the concubines. They were not allowed to leave the palace and had no food.
The accommodation is all in the Imperial Pharmacy, and there is a dedicated person who delivers meals and is on duty in turns.
As a result, the fourth master was worried. In April, he sent a message to the Imperial Hospital, and ordered Shouxi Imperial Physician to send four more doctors, divided into two shifts, two in each shift, to work day and night. They would check the pulse of Chengqiangong once in the morning and evening every day, and perform the pulse diagnosis in a timely manner.
Report to Yangxin Hall.
No matter how busy he is, he will always take time to meet with the imperial doctor.
Even though the pregnancy of a concubine is a big deal, the emperor's unprecedented attention has made all departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs very nervous. The person in charge is even more restless than the pregnant woman herself. All the midwifery equipment and all kinds of people have been prepared well in advance.
