Mao Bi saw that her thick eyelashes were hanging down, and they were as dark as two small fans or two windows, covering up the charm and thoughts in her eyes.
Ji Ling pondered for a long time, bit her lip and raised her head, thinking that the little girl must have become loose.
Sure enough, Ji Ling's eyes flashed and she looked at him with a bit of expectation. She nodded frequently and said, "Your Majesty is far-sighted and what she said makes sense."
Concubine Mao raised her eyebrows, relaxed her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "I know that although your sister is young, she is very transparent."
She said with concern: "It's just that your noble sister's face is too pale. She looks like she has anemia, just like me. You know, anemia is a taboo for women."
At this time, Yanzhi brought the tea on a tray. When she came to Mao Bi, she bent her knees and served the tea with both hands, saying: "Your Majesty, please have some tea." She then sent a cup of tea to Ji Ling, but Ji Ling did not accept it.
After passing by, he just said: "Put it aside for now."
Mao Bi took the teacup and coughed again, which was very violent. She covered her chest and bent her body forward, almost falling on Yanzhi. Yanzhi stood there lazily and did not move away.
She coughed for a while and finally stopped. She took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, smiled apologetically at Ji Ling and said, "Hey... look at my body!".
Ji Ling saw that Yanzhi was holding a tray and walking backwards to walk out, so he said loudly: "Rangzhi, you are here to serve the Queen Maobin. If the Queen wants to add tea and water, you can take care of her."
Yanzhi agreed, squatting on the tray and walked to Maobin.
Just listen to Mao Bi continue: "The heart governs blood, and the liver stores blood. People with blood deficiency often have palpitations and uneasiness. My dear sister...do you have such symptoms?"
Ji Ling listened carefully, then turned her head and thought carefully, and said slowly: "I'm not uneasy, but I often suffer from insomnia at night and can't fall asleep in the middle of the night. Sometimes even if I fall asleep, I can't sleep."
I have a lot of dreams. When I wake up, I can’t remember the content of my dreams.”
Mao Bi touched her palm and said: "Why is it not blood deficiency? That's it! Blood is the mother of qi, and qi depends on blood. My dear sister, you must have blood deficiency. This is bad. If you don't take good care of yourself, you will only have blood deficiency."
I’m afraid it’s hard to be happy.”
Ji Ling looked at Maobin with a bitter face. Qixi was listening on the side and could no longer hold back. At this time, he blurted out: "Mother Maobin, what should I do? I'll go and ask the master for a doctor as soon as possible!".
Ji Ling glanced at Qixi accusingly, and said softly: "Why are you so ignorant of the rules! Your Majesty is still talking, how can you interrupt?"
Mao Bi shook her head and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." She followed up the topic just now, took out a purse from her arms, handed it to Ji Ling, and said mysteriously: "Sister Noble, this is the old side of the former dynasty.
It nourishes yin, invigorates qi and generates blood. If a young woman wants to get pregnant, it is best to take this prescription. Even if she does not rush to get pregnant, taking it on a daily basis can also nourish blood and nourish the skin, which is of great benefit to women." After speaking, he put his purse in his hand.
Put it on the table and push it in front of Ji Ling.
Ji Ling's eyes lit up and she immediately stretched out her hand to take it. Then she asked in confusion, "Why don't you use it?"
Mao Bi sighed and said: "When the emperor was still living in Dibeile, I had already lost two children in infancy, and my body and bones were damaged, making it difficult for me to get pregnant again. What's more...".
She continued sadly: "Every morning when I wake up, I look at my fading face in the mirror. I don't want to take another look at it, let alone the emperor. I will be forty years old soon, and the old clam is born.
Isn’t this a harem joke!”.
Ji Ling was secretly surprised. Maobin was almost forty already? She always thought that Maobin was just over thirty.
Ji Ling shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, you are just sincerely worshiping the Buddha and are too lazy to touch rouge, gouache and other vulgar things. Otherwise, with your facial features, if you really dress up, you won't be much worse than the Nian Concubine!".
When Mao Bi heard her mentioning Concubine Nian, her eyes were sharp for a moment, and then she returned to her usual gentle, approachable and uncontroversial demeanor, and she said calmly: "Since the noble sister mentioned Concubine Nian, I have something.
I don’t know whether to say something or not.”
Ji Ling said: "My queen, please give me some advice. I am listening attentively."
Empress Maobi raised her hand and smoothed her hair, as if she was thinking of a suitable way to speak, and then said slowly: "My sister was still young when she entered the palace, and I'm afraid she hasn't thought deeply about some things. I can't blame you.
When I was your age, I was just a gege who just entered Sibeile Mansion."
Ji Ling nodded with a smile, kept her mouth shut and waited for Maobin to continue.
Mao Bi looked out the window and said: "You are not allowed to interfere in politics in the harem. This is a rule left by our ancestors. Everyone in the harem and concubines knows about it, and no one dares to get involved in the political affairs of the previous dynasty. However, the great achievements of General Nian are unparalleled in the world.
I don’t know, no one knows... so the emperor has always given constant rewards to Yikun Palace, and he also attaches great importance to Concubine Nian.”
She withdrew her gaze from the window, with a solemn look on her face, and a faintly formidable aura, and said slowly: "If we talk about the harem of our dynasty, leaving aside the empress, there will never be another concubine like you.
A more noble mother’s family!”.
Ji Ling rolled his eyes and said, "That should be the case."
Mao Bi slowly raised her eyes, looked at Ji Ling and said: "As far as I know, Ling Yan is the ceremonial officer of the Ministry of Rites, and... it seems that he has been working in the ceremonial position for more than twenty years, right?"
.
Ji Ling closed her eyes slightly and recalled the memory of the original owner in her mind.
The original owner's father was named Ji Qian, and he was a minor ceremonial officer in the Ministry of Rites. Because he was not good at flattering and fawning, he had been stuck in the position of ceremonial officer for many years, and saw his colleagues in his youth one by one.
Everyone has been promoted step by step, and even the least successful one has become his immediate boss, and it is inevitable that he will be depressed.
The situation at home was even more chaotic. The original owner's mother was originally a very gentle and honest woman. She and her father were of the same family, and they lived a peaceful and warm life together.
But three years before the original owner entered the palace, his father somehow fell in love with the daughter of a merchant family and took her as a good concubine.
After that, my mother became very sad and fell seriously ill. Although she recovered under the careful care of the original owner, her vitality was seriously damaged. In addition, there was an eyesore concubine at home, and she was very perceptive, which made her father very happy.
My heart was completely given to her.
The mother of the original owner did not know how much anger she suffered from this concubine behind her back, and how many tears she wiped away.
This is a later topic, let’s not mention it for now.
At this time, when Ji Ling heard Mao Bi talking about his mother's house, he lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty is right."
Maobin smiled and said: "Sister Ji, you don't have to feel sad secretly. It's not your daughter's fault that your mother's family is in a poor situation, but now you have a good opportunity."
She paused, knowing that she wanted to get to the point, so she asked Ji Ling's minions to go out.
There were only two people left in the house.
Mao Bi then stared at Ji Ling closely and said word by word: "Parents love their children, and they have far-reaching plans. If my sister gives birth to a little princess, let's not mention it for now; but if it is a little brother, it would be better
Entrusted to the knees of Concubine Nian, Concubine Nian, who has no children, will definitely treat the child as her own, and General Nian, as well as the entire Nian family behind him, will support this child!"
Ji Ling lowered his eyes and tried his best to suppress a sneer at the corner of his mouth. He had a confused expression on his face and cursed viciously in his heart: "Bullshit!"
