The next day, Zhu Di and Li Qi'er came to greet Ma Xiuying. Zhu Di is really as Zhu Yuanzhang said, he has exercised well in the barracks, and his height has surpassed Zhu Fan and Zhu Di.

Ma Xiuying was so envious that she smiled at Li Qi'er: "Di'er has grown strong in the barracks, you can rest assured this time." ”

Li Qi'er shook her head and cried with tears in her eyes: "The queen doesn't know, there are more than ten old and new scars on his body, large and small, which makes the concubines shocked. The concubine didn't want him to go to the barracks, but the boy never listened. ”

Ma Xiuying was taken aback and warned Zhu Di: "The queen mother knows that you can endure hardships, but you shouldn't be so desperate." Parents who suffer from your body, if you don't care for your body, it will make your mother more and more worried. There is a degree to everything, and if it is too much, it will not be enough, and remember not to do this in the future. ”

"Erchen knows his mistakes, and Erchen will cherish himself in the future. Zhu Di replied respectfully, suppressing the bitterness in his heart. If the queen mother knew that most of the injuries on his body were caused by Zhu Fan and Zhu Di and others, she would definitely be very sad, and the queen mother cared so much about herself, she still didn't say anything, so as not to embarrass her.

Li Qi'er looked at Zhu Di resentfully, she dragged Zhu Di to see Ma Xiuying just to sue, but this dead child didn't say a word, so she couldn't speak. After chatting a few words, she dragged Zhu Di back and taught Zhu Di a hard lesson. Scolding and scolding, tears raining down, she felt that her life was really bitter, she was low and small in front of Ma Xiuying, and her son was also bullied by Ma Xiuying's son, why is life so unfair?

Zhu Di comforted: "Don't cry, concubine, when your son becomes a person, your son will be able to open a mansion and build a business, and then your son will lead the army to the expedition and stay away from them." ”

Li Qi'er became more and more sad, the capital can't accommodate her son anymore, she wants to force her son to go far away, and even if her son makes a contribution, he is only a prince at best, and he doesn't want to be driven by Ma Xiuying's son, it's really unwilling to think about it!

The short Spring Festival passed in a flash, and Ma Xiuying endured her distress and threw Zhu Fan and Zhu Di back into the barracks. Zhu Di is younger than them and can endure hardships, and he really can't get used to them.

After the New Year, Ma Xiuying collected the congratulatory gift of the prince's wedding, her own private treasury and the silver sponsored by Zhu Yuanzhang, and set up more than 20 red warehouses to store grain to support the wife and children of the Tai students. At the same time, a large scholarship is set up to reward the ten best students selected each year.

This measure was promulgated in a way that the prisoners and their families praised the virtues of the queen and the crown prince. The prestige of Ma Xiuying and Zhu Biao is getting higher and higher among the people.

Spring is coming, the weather is gradually getting warmer, the concubines who are huddled in the dormitory are all out and walking, Guo Hui and Li Meiren also came to a rockery to enjoy the scenery.

The creeper poked out the tender green vines and quietly spread along the cliff, Guo Huixin pinched off a tender bud with his hand, and said to Li Meiren: "I can't let her mother and mother continue to be proud." ”

Li Meiren got Mrs. Li's warning, and she didn't want to get involved in Guo Hui and Ma Xiuying's fighting methods at all, and she just found out that she was pregnant, so she said perfunctorily: "That's the prince and the queen, and the concubine has no choice." ”

Guo Hui sneered, his eyes staring at Li Meiren's stomach like a poisonous snake, "Doesn't Li Meiren have something to rely on now, and she doesn't even pay attention to the palace?"

Li Meiren was so shocked that she stumbled under her feet, and hurriedly held on to the rockery, "What did Niangniang say, the concubine's reliance is you." ”

"Your little bit of caution really doesn't know about this palace, this Jingyang Palace is full of people from this palace, can you hide it from this palace?" Guo Hui sneered: "If you can hide it for ten months, this palace will really admire you." ”

Li Meiren knew that Guo Hui had known about her pregnancy, so she hurriedly knelt down, "Niangniang forgives her sins, the concubine doesn't dare to hide it from Niangniang, and the concubine hasn't been determined yet, so she doesn't dare to tell Niangniang in advance." Originally, after three months, everything was stable, and the concubine told the mother, and she wanted to ask the mother for blessing. ”

Guo Hui smiled maliciously: "How can this kind of thing be delayed, let's call a doctor to take a look at you." In case of a mistake, Hongu can't afford it. ”

Li Meiren was heartbroken, and she was busy begging for mercy, "The concubine is blessed, thinking that if she really has a child, she will pass under the name of the mother, and with the protection of the mother, the child may be able to grow up smoothly." ”

Guo Hui softened his tone, "What are you saying, this palace is also a mother, of course I know that no matter how close I am, I don't have my own mother, and you can take your child with you." ”

Li Meiren breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you for your compassion." ”

"You are also going to be a mother, you have to think about your children, are you willing to be a beauty for the rest of your life?" Guo Hui said bewilderedly.

Li Meiren's face showed a sense of confusion, and she quickly came to her senses, "The concubine doesn't dare to be delusional." ”

If she still had a little thought about it when she first entered the palace, but when she saw Guo Hui and Ma Xiuying's fighting methods, she knew that she was not the opponent of these two people at all, and in the blink of an eye, several lives were lost because of the two, and she really didn't want to give away her own life.

If you have the guts, you don't have the guts to admit it. Guo Hui secretly despised a sentence and said: "No matter what, we have to think more about our children, if we can't give our children a good life, why let him come to this world to suffer?"

"That's what the mother said. Niangniang teaches concubines. Li Meiren's face turned pale, she couldn't hear Guo Hui's threat,

Guo Hui beckoned, Guo Xia immediately handed over a food box, and she said to Li Meiren with a smile: "There is a box of walnut crisp here in this palace, you can take it to the crown princess." I heard that the crown princess is also pregnant, and walnuts are the most brain-replenishing. ”

"Niangniang?" Li Meiren looked at the box in horror, not daring to pick it up, and the ghost knew what Guo Hui had mixed in the walnuts. No wonder Guo Hui wanted to take her to this secluded place to enjoy the scenery, it turned out to be for this matter.

Guo Hui smiled and threatened: "It's not for you to eat, what are you afraid of? Don't you want to give it to the crown princess and want to keep it for yourself? Yes, you are also pregnant, you can make up for your child." ”

"Niangniang let go of the concubine. Li Meiren knocked her upper and lower teeth, wanting to escape but not daring to escape.

"Whether you eat this box of walnut crisp yourself or give it to the crown princess, you choose. Guo Hui had no mercy and kicked Li Meiren's body.

Li Meiren fell to the ground and kowtowed vigorously, "Niangniang spare her life!

"Useless things, if you don't want to go, you won't go," Guo Hui opened the box, twisted a piece of walnut crisp and put it in his mouth, and mocked: "This palace just wants to test whether you are loyal or not, and it scares you." What's going on in your head, go back to your room!"

"Thank you, Niangniang!" Li Meiren hurriedly retreated, as if there was a fierce beast chasing after her.
