Chapter 208: Pregnant
The carriage traveled all the way, but it also met several female relatives who were about to enter the palace, so they entered the palace together. When I arrived at the palace, the imperial concubine arranged everything in an orderly manner, and there were palace maids in the palace to guide the ladies and dependents, and the positions were all arranged in advance.
Several members of the Su family also knelt down in the corresponding position, looking at the palace where everything that should be prepared was readily available, the queen was seriously ill, and everything that should be prepared was prepared in advance.
If the queen was in too haste, it would be impossible to prepare so well all at once. It seems that the imperial concubine didn't sleep all night last night. In fact, all the people kneeling in the temple now were afraid that they could not have slept well last night.
The preparations that should be made last night have to be prepared, otherwise they will enter the palace early in the morning, where is there time to prepare! Su Ling knelt quietly and glanced at the people in the hall slightly.
The eyes were so white that I couldn't tell who was who. The hall was unusually quiet, and everyone was silent.
Fortunately, the weather has gradually warmed up, so it will not be too difficult to kneel on the ground. If it's winter, it's even more difficult.
Even so, it didn't take long for some people to take it anymore. The people who can be in this temple, who are not from good backgrounds and are accustomed to being pampered, suddenly come to suffer like this, it is really unbearable.
Especially the elderly, it is even more difficult. Su Ling looked at her grandmother with some concern, although her grandmother's body has always been good, but in this case, it is still very difficult.
It wasn't until noon that I could take a short break and eat something. However, the lunch prepared in the palace is very simple, a radish soup. A stir-fried cabbage, at such a time, naturally you can't eat meat. I can only do it for a while.
Looking at the food, many people have no appetite, I am afraid that no one has eaten such a simple meal at home, but they can't be hungry all the time. Although you can eat better when you go home at night, you can stay hungry until that time, where can you stand it!
"Eat them all, or you'll be able to hold out in the afternoon." The old lady took the bowl first. The situation in the palace has already been thought about. There is nothing surprising about it. Since there is a title of edict, there is no escape.
It's like an official in the court, who has been favored by the court. Naturally, there is also a pay. If you don't return it in the capital, you won't get the news for a while, and you won't be able to rush back if you get the news. Therefore, if you are far away from the capital, you naturally can't go back to Beijing to keep filial piety.
Yan sighed. "How do you eat this!"
"You can't eat anywhere. Everyone is like this, no matter what your identity is, what you eat is the same. The old lady glared at her, "The ladies in the palace won't eat better." ”
It's not like they're going to stay in the palace all the time, and they're going back home at night to eat something good. As for the people in the palace, the ingredients are all distributed in the imperial dining room, and I am afraid that I can only eat like this.
There's really nothing to complain about, no matter how hard it is, it's just to survive these days.
Older people don't complain. On the contrary, the younger people can't stand it even more.
"Bear with me!" Lin smiled. A few people simply had lunch and sat down to rest for a while.
Su Ling stood up and went to Gong. Take a walk and move your legs and feet.
When she walked back, a palace maid stood in front of her. "Hello Miss Su, Concubine Ye of King Ning's Mansion wants to see the girl. ”
Su Ling frowned slightly, since she returned to the Su family, she hadn't met Concubine Ye, and she also used the way to send messages when she had something.
She really didn't want the news of her connection with Ning Wangfu to spread, mainly because she didn't want the people of the Su family to know. I didn't expect that Concubine Ye would look for her in the palace! This is the palace, and I am afraid that someone will pay attention to their every move.
"But what's the matter?" asked Su Ling.
Concubine Ye didn't say what was the matter, she just asked the girl to sit down. The palace maid led the way, and Su Ling followed her to the side hall where she was resting. The side hall is a place for the ladies to rest, if you are really tired, you can come here to rest for a while.
The main thing is that you still have to be sealed, and some people are really not young. In fact, it is difficult to have a very young person, after all, to have the title of the decree, it must be the husband and son who are born, and the female dependents can get the title.
Not all the female dependents of the officials' families have been sealed, so most of the people who have been knighted are really not young. There are also some very old feudal monarchs, who are old and not very good, and some of them faint while kneeling.
After entering a room, Su Ling saw Concubine Ye. "Miss Su is here, sit down!" Concubine Ye said with a smile, and the maid behind her poured a cup of tea for Su Ling.
"Is there something going on?" asked Su Ling straight to the point. If there is really something to do, it is better to meet in the palace, after all, you have to stay in the palace these days, even if you can go out of the palace, it will be dark that day, and it is still difficult to find a time to meet.
"I'm tired of kneeling in the hall all the time, why don't you come here to rest for a while!" said Concubine Ye with a smile. "Let's try this tea! It's good, and the palace won't serve anything good these days. ”
Su Ling took the tea and drank it slowly, it was indeed a very good tea. "If you have anything to say, just say it! We don't have to sell anything between us. ”
"You already know about Concubine Wuxian's fainting in the morning!"
Su Ling nodded, in the same filial piety hall, who else doesn't know about Wu Yuxin's fainting! It's just that after fainting, she was helped away, and she didn't know what was going on.
What happened to the concubines in the palace, there is no need to let the ladies know. She was still thinking about whether she was sick, and it was only the first day, and Wu Yuxin would not be able to pretend to be sick and not keep filial piety. If it was pretended, the imperial doctor would not know the pulse as soon as he checked it, but he would be asking for trouble.
"Isn't it sick?"
"If you're really sick, I won't come to you. Concubine Ye sighed, "She is pregnant, although it has only been more than a month, but it is just the right time." ”
Su Ling smiled, it's really time, after all, the queen dares to be gone, and she is pregnant there, but it doesn't add a little bit of bargaining chips to the competition for the back position!
Although there are many heirs of the emperor, no one will dislike having many children. Especially Concubine Wu Xian has been favored since she entered the palace, and she has been favored for such a long time! Now that she has a child, I am afraid that she will be even more favored.
"Isn't this just the case? There will be so much time after that, and there will be many changes!" Su Ling said with a smile. "Is the side concubine in a hurry now?" (To be continued.) )
