"Concubine Liu is really not smart. She is in charge of the harem. She should be generous and fair and convince everyone. Now like this, the concubine is also indignant in her heart, for fear that something like this will fall on her one day." Rong took a sip of the tea ceremony.

"The nobleman that month received the punishment?" I shook my head gently. Haoyue hated me originally, so I am afraid that it will be even more difficult.

"Yue noble can only receive punishment. Chen Changzai was fined for half a month's salary." Yi Zhaorong was a little excited when she said that, unlike her usual indifferent, she was still young after all.

She blinked her eyes: "It's all done this way, I don't want Chen Changzai to leave, and come with the concubine."

My heart jumped suddenly, thinking of Haoyue as if befriending his concubine. Last time at Li Fei's birthday banquet, she was alone and laughed at Yan Yan with He Feiyan. Then, I couldn't help but clenched my fists. Could the person who instructed Haoyue behind him be Hefei? However, she has always been indifferent and gentle, and there is no dispute between the Feng family and the Ling family. She has no reason.

"Hefei?" I pretended to be surprised: "She is getting heavier, and she doesn't come out easily on weekdays."

Yi Zhaorong nodded: "The imperial doctor suggested that you and your concubine take a proper daily walk to help your childbirth. At that time, the concubine and concubine asked what had happened and how they knelt and cried. Although she did not interfere in the harem Affairs, but after all, she is pregnant, even the Concubine Liu is very polite."

"Did He and Concubine help Yue Guiren?" I frowned slightly: "She doesn't seem like a person who loves right and wrong."

"No, so everyone was very surprised. Hefei asked what was wrong, and didn't say who was right or wrong, only that the moon nobleman knelt there to make a good scenery, and it was really annoying that Chen Chang was crying. , I suggested that Concubine Liu should be trivial. After all, she should be in charge of the harem. Concubine Liu couldn't live up to her face, and she couldn't provoke her concubine, so she let go of the noble person." Yi Zhaorong finished in a breath, and said with emotion "The concubine also feels that the words of the concubine and concubine are not like her usual style. It is obvious that they are ugly to the concubine Liu.

"Hefei has always been kind, and it's normal to beg for the moon nobleman. Concubine Liu has indeed been punished in this matter. If Hefei gives birth to the prince and concubine, she will be one of the four concubines, and Liu concubine will not hurt her peace. The days after that are sad." I said lightly.

"After all, Yue Guiren used to be the maidservant of Empress. Isn't Concubine Liu angry at this move?" Yi Zhaorong asked tentatively.

I smiled at her, but there was no warmth in my eyes: "I never remembered that she was a close-knit maid, so why should I be angry?"

Yi Zhaorong was startled and looked at my expression carefully, her voice a little nervous: "If the concubine made a mistake, please don't mind."

I shook my head: "It's all old things. No one knows anything." After talking, look at the sky: "I remember that the emperor turned your sign tonight. It's not early. Go back and prepare." Stopped and said. : "My palace knows that you don't like to inquire, but Concubine Liu has to help my palace pay more attention. The same goes for Concubine and Yue."

Yi Zhaorong got up and Fu Yifu smiled and said, "Inquire about these trivial matters, just as a kind of adjustment for long-term boredom."

I helped her up: "It's best to be a bystander, don't involve yourself in it." I looked at Linglong who was led in by the nurse, and said: "Take Linglong well, maybe someday, she will become what about your child."

Yi Zhaorong was shocked when he heard what I said, and looked at me in almost uncontrollable surprise. He saw that I was only smiling, and then lowered his head, but his voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"The concubine will follow the instructions of the empress and will take care of the princess and treat her as her own."

After more than a month, my body has recovered more than half of it. Although I still have to drink the bitter medicine every day, I feel happy when I think of it for the fetus in my abdomen. During this period, I found someone to transfer Manager Huang back to the harem, and I seemed to have accidentally told Shen Xiyao about the arrangements for Manager Huang. He has served the Queen Mother for the longest time and is the most pleasing to the Queen Mother. It is better to let him share a little bit of Zhang Dehai's errands, not wanting Shen Xiyao to take the initiative to propose that he be in charge of the deployment of the palace eunuchs. I gave Zhang Dehai a "lesson", and naturally I will give him sweetness. For example, to his nephew outside the palace, also his adopted "son", a fat man.

At the same time, the war ahead has entered a tense occasion.

On this day, when the willow shoots were on the moon, I was sitting under the west window drinking antifetal medicine. The medicine was contained in a bowl of blood jade and amber, and it was so dark that it was difficult to swallow.

"Niang, you can drink it all at once." Hui Ju smiled and held a cup of jasmine sweet cane sugar: "This is the sweetest. You can eat it as soon as you drink it, and keep it and forget the bitter taste."

I wrinkled a face and looked at Huiju: "You don't know how bitter this medicine is."

Huiju sticks out his tongue: "It's bitter to smell it."

"Then you let me finish it all in one breath."

"It would be uncomfortable if you drink a little bit." Huiju is like coaxing a child: "Close your eyes and pinch your nose. Just drink it."

I gave a wry smile and pushed the bowl to her: "Then you can show me a drink."

Hui Ju "pushed" a smile and avoided it, "The slave and maid are not pregnant, so I don't want to drink it. Please drink it quickly, I've been frying it for several hours."

"Yes," I sighed: "It's because it has been fried for several hours, so the bitterness has come out." I glanced at the dark medicine and sighed helplessly.

"Every time you drink like this?" Shen Xiyao's voice suddenly sounded, and Huiju and I were shocked.

"Concubine see the emperor." I was about to salute, and he had helped me up.

"Drink quickly." He deliberately scowled.

I shook my head and said coquettishly: "Too bitter."

Shen Xiyao nodded my nose and said to Huiju: "You go get some food."

I looked at him: "The emperor hasn't eaten yet?" Then I looked at the sky: "It's already so late."

Shen Xiyao's face is rarely relaxed, he nodded: "There are too many things up front, but fortunately, it's all good news."

This was the first time he had talked about war with me. After all, it was Xihe leading the army, and that was a forbidden area that neither he nor I wanted to touch.

I made an expression of joy: "That's great." But I couldn't ask more.

Shen Xiyao took my hand and his eyes fell on my lower abdomen. I saw him pursing his lips and moving his Adam's apple, but in the end he said nothing. He only took the bowl of medicine and rubbed it in his hand. It took a long time to laugh. Said: "Seeing this bowl, I remembered something."

"What?" I asked.

"Back then, I hoped that you could get pregnant as soon as possible, and I specially ordered the hospital to prepare fertility decoctions. I was embarrassed to tell them not to say it because you knew it." He looked at the blood bowl and said, "That medicinal material is a bit special. I have to use a bowl made of red coral. I have never liked corals, and there are very few in the palace, so I asked them to rush to make a batch. Now I see this blood jade bowl, which is a bit different from that red coral bowl. Similar." He handed me the decoction: "Although the medicine is not effective, I hope you can drink it no matter how bitter it is. For the sake of our children, bear with me."

I was shocked by his words. The red coral inlaid silver bowl was not without my impression. I thought it was a medicine to prevent pregnancy. Later, because of a misunderstanding, Shen Xiyao poisoned his father and thought it was a chronic poison. I was not without complaints. . Now that I heard him tell the truth, in addition to shock, I also blamed myself for not trusting him. If so, if I had confidence in the true feelings he gave me back then, would it be different later?

Shen Xiyao's eyes were so gentle that it wrapped me like spring water, and I definitely took the bowl and drank it without even feeling bitter.

"The emperor?" My eyes were slightly moist, and I didn't know what to say, but between my mouth, he was fed a piece of candied fruit. The mouth was full of sweetness.

Huiju hit the curtain and walked in. He happened to see it and was busy withdrawing. Shen Xiyao smiled and called her: "But are you ready?"

Huiju nodded again and again: "Back to the emperor, the small kitchen has made four dishes, and there is another piece of fragrant rice and purple potato porridge. Do you want to pass it on now?"

"Pass it, I'm a little hungry." Shen Xiyao took my hand and said, "If Weier has an appetite, why not use it with me?"

I responded with a smile, Huiju hurriedly brought in the food, and then arranged dishes for us.

Such a room is harmonious, warm and intoxicating.

There were hurried footsteps outside, and Zhang Dehai's voice was full of excitement and excitement.

"Emperor, great victory, great victory!"

"Say it!" Shen Xiyao put down his chopsticks with a look of excitement.

Zhang Dehai brought the warm breeze outside, and he bowed his prayers as soon as he came in: "The emperor, the front line is here to report. King Yu defeated the Uighur army in Cangzhou and captured the Uighur son Di Xiuqi. Now he has been arranged to **** him back to Beijing. ."

With surprise on his face, Shen Xiyao stood up and said three "good" words in succession. After that, he couldn't hide his smile all night, and he was very satisfied in his heart.

I was secretly worried for Xi He. The sword had no eyes. He made great achievements, but behind this great work there must be a lot of dangers and dangers. What's more, he captured the Uighur son at this time, which would definitely cause a fierce confrontation among the Uighurs, and the battle would enter a tense and critical state.

When changing the bed clothes, I knelt alone behind the screen and prayed to the bright moon outside the window, hoping that he would cherish it and return safely.

It is inevitable that there will be worries and worries with worry in mind, and even a few days of meals are not good. For some reason, the reaction in the first trimester was not strong, but it became serious after hearing the news that day. I feel nauseous all day long, most of the things I eat will vomit again, I can't smell the smell of meat, and I feel very sad all day long, and even the people with me lose a lot of weight. Shen Xiyao looked anxious in his eyes, but this was a reaction that a pregnant person would have. There was no other way, so the imperial doctor prescribed a prescription for calming the mind and body, and carefully instructed the dietary taboos.

Huiju is extra careful. Every ingredient must be inspected personally. When eating jade plums, she also wants to do everything she can. According to the imperial doctor’s instructions, the diet is mainly light and the fruits are only fresh. Fish and shrimp can help children be smart, so she will The fish is finely chopped, and other seasonings are added to mask the smell, so I can eat some.

The imperial doctor said that I was too worried and had many dreams at night. He ordered to drink a cup of fresh cow's milk before going to bed every night and put an apple on the bedside. These have the effect of calming the nerves.

After dinner one day, Shen Xiyao was reading the memorial in the East Hall of Kunning Palace. I sat on the chaise longue to sew a small coat. Although there is no dialogue between the two, they don't feel embarrassed and boring, but there is a touch of warmth and harmony.

Zhang Dehai walked in lightly, saluted, glanced at me carefully, then looked at Shen Xiyao, hesitating to say nothing.
