44. Happy events in the palace
Zhang and Xu Huashang walked in with their front and back feet, and although the expressions on their faces looked very gentle, the alienation and coldness in their eyes were still clear at a glance. A hint of satisfaction flashed in Ning Miao's eyes, the harmonious relationship between the two side concubines was not a good thing for her.
After the two came in, Xu Huashang gave a perfunctory salute, while Zhang's made a full salute in a proper manner, Xu Huashang glanced at Zhang with disdain, Ning Miao only didn't notice the secret contest between the two, exempted the two of them from the courtesy, and gave a seat, before asking, "What's the matter?" ”
Zhang just wanted to open his mouth but was preempted by Xu Huashang: "Recently, Zhuangzi sent some fresh melons and fruits, and it just so happened that the concubine was very greedy recently, so she wanted to take more, but Concubine Zhang disagreed, insisting that this was not in accordance with the rules, and the concubine didn't understand, and the concubine said that she was also the first concubine to enter the house, so why would it be unruly to take more melons and fruits." ”
Zhang stepped forward and blessed his body slightly, and then said lightly: "This time Zhuangzi sent not many melons and fruits, the concubine gave Sister Xu her share according to the side concubine's share, and even gave Sister Xu an extra part from her own share to Sister Xu, but Sister Xu is still too insufficient, if she takes more, then the prince and the princess's sister will not be enough, and the concubine will insist on opposing it, and ask the princess sister to call the shots." ”
Ning Miao's eyes flashed, Xu Huashang didn't fall in love with those melons and fruits, she just wanted to take the opportunity to declare her special status in the mansion, but no matter how much Xu Huashang made a scene, it was impossible for her to cross her as a princess, Xu Huashang just wanted to suppress the Zhang family, would the Zhang family know? In this way, Zhang naturally will not agree.
"Since I have handed over this mansion to the two of you to jointly manage, such a small matter will be discussed and solved by myself, so why bother to come to me, my body is weak, but I can't withstand your trouble."
Then Ning Miao looked at Zhang's and said softly: "Since Concubine Xu likes melons and fruits, then give her half of my share, anyway, I have been weak recently and can't eat much." ”
Zhang's eyes darkened, and Xu Huashang did not hide his smug eyes.
The corners of Ning Miao's mouth raised a sneer: "Since Concubine Xu is making such a fuss today that she wants to share more melons and fruits, then Concubine Xu hopes that Concubine Xu, who will not listen to it in the future, will waste the news of wasting melons and fruits at will, and these melons and fruits, Concubine Xu will definitely use them up alone." There was a thick warning in his faint tone.
Xu Huasheng's face froze, and she reluctantly responded under Ning Miao's smiling face.
Ning Miao retracted her gaze with satisfaction, then helped the hairpin on her head, and said leisurely: "The imperial doctor will come to check my pulse in a while, and I will ask him to ask you for a peace pulse too." ”
Zhang nodded, but Xu Huashang refused with an unnatural expression: "The concubine has always been healthy, so there is no need to bother the doctor." ”
"The queen mother is in a hurry to hold her grandson, and it is also for the sake of the heirs of the palace to let the imperial doctor see it." Ning Miao blocked back in a few words.
Xu Huashang pulled her cuffs, glanced at the maid beside her, saw the maid give her a look, stabilized her mind, and said strongly: "I know my body myself, I don't need it, I don't need it." "I'm going to go outside.
Before Xu Huashang took two steps, Li Yu walked in from outside the door, and asked as he walked, "What's wrong with Huashang?" Don't need anything? ”
Seeing Li Yu, Xu Huashang showed an excited smile on her face, snuggled up, took Li Yu's hand and said coquettishly: "Cousin hasn't been to see Xiang'er for a long time, and Xiang'er misses her cousin so much." ”
Li Yu replied with a chuckle: "Recently, I have been busy with affairs, and I have neglected Huashang, which is not right for this king." Then he withdrew his hand from Xu Huasheng's hand without a trace, walked to Ning Miao's side and touched Ning Miao's forehead: "My body is better." ”
Ning Miao's face was full of gentleness: "It's much better, thank you for your concern." ”
Seeing this, Xu Huashang lowered her face, looked at Ning Miao's eyes and couldn't help but feel more jealous, even Zhang's eyes were more jealous.
Ning Miao didn't see their expressions, and explained to Li Yu: "Today, a imperial doctor is going to come to check my pulse, so I want to ask the two side concubines to also ask for a peace pulse." ”
Hearing this, Li Yu narrowed his eyes, and the smile on his face did not decrease: "That's it, it's okay." Then he looked at Xu Huashang, "Huashang, the princess is also for your good, don't make trouble." The helpless tone seemed to be just training an ignorant sister.
Xu Huashang wanted to say something, but seeing the smile on Li Yu's face, he finally swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
Soon, the imperial doctor came over, and after checking Ning Miao's pulse, he said a few words that his body was still a little weak and needed a little more time to recuperate, and so on, Ning Miao spoke: "Please also ask the imperial doctor to check the pulse of the two side concubines in our house." ”
The imperial doctor did not shirk, after seeing Zhang's family, it was Xu Huasheng, Xu Huashang twisted Nini, but Li Yu watched from the sidelines and did not dare to refuse.
The imperial doctor carefully checked Xu Huasheng's pulse, frowned, changed his hand again, and finally let go of his brows, and said to Li Yu with a smile: "Congratulations to the prince, Concubine Xu has been happy, it has been more than two months." ”
Hearing this, Xu Huasheng showed a look of surprise on his face, as if it was the first time he heard the news, but after a closer look, he could still see the traces of Xu Huasheng's acting.
And Ning Miao's eyes were not shocked, but her face showed a happy look. On the contrary, Zhang's expression was much more real, and he only smiled reluctantly after being surprised.
Li Yu didn't have the joy of being a father for the first time, the smile on his face was still faint, and after thanking the imperial doctor, he said to Xu Huasheng: "Since you have a child, don't mess around in the future, take care of your body." ”
Xu Huashang agreed shyly, then raised his head and said with joy on his face: "Huashang will take good care of her body, and she will definitely give birth to a healthy son for her cousin." ”
"Yes." Li Yu glanced at Xu Huashang deeply before continuing: "I hope that Huashang can give birth to a daughter for this king. ”
Xu Huashang's face changed, and her eyes looked at Li Yu less shy and more confused, cousin, what does this mean? She still didn't dare to ask, because she knew the answer vaguely in her heart.
After the two side concubines left, Ning Miao asked with some surprise: "Where is the prince not going to Concubine Xu?" Seeing that Li Yu looked at herself with a little dissatisfaction, Ning Miao immediately added: "Concubine Xu has just become pregnant, and the concubine still thinks that the prince is happy and will accompany her more." ”
Li Yu walked to Ning Miao's couch and sat down, holding Ning Miao in his arms: "Hua Sheng is pregnant, this king is naturally happy, but if the princess can give birth to a son for this king, this king will be even happier." ”
Ning Miao chuckled: "Didn't the prince just say that he wanted a daughter?" How did he become a son in the blink of an eye. ”
Li Yu raised his eyebrows: "The princess is so smart, can't she understand the meaning of this king's words." ”
Ning Miao didn't say anything, she naturally understood the meaning of Li Yu's words, Li Yu didn't want Xu Huashang to give birth to a son, so what did she think.
"Princess, do you say that the child of Huashang can be born smoothly?" After a long time, Li Yu asked again, his voice was low, and he couldn't hear his feelings clearly.
Ning Miao's eyes flashed, the child in Xu Huasheng's belly, since she agreed to let her get pregnant, she naturally wouldn't do anything to her, but she couldn't guarantee the others.
"That is the prince's child, and he will be born in good health."
Li Yu rubbed Ning Miao's neck socket, Xu Huashang has always used contraceptive pills, but she was pregnant with a child, when he learned the news, he guessed that it was the ghost in his arms, she was using Xu Huashang to test his and the emperor's attitude towards the Shun'an Houfu, he was obviously very annoyed in his heart, but he couldn't bear to punish her, he thought it was probably rare to meet such a smart woman, he was reluctant to end the battle of wits between them so soon, as for Xu Huashang, it was his child after all, as long as the Shun'an Houfu was honest, The child can naturally be born smoothly.
On the second day, the news of Xu Huashang's pregnancy came out, and the emperor and queen immediately gave a lot of supplements, and Yan couldn't sit still, so he led his daughter-in-law to the Xianwang Mansion, and even Ning Miao went straight to Xu Huashang's courtyard without going there, Ning Miao smiled with relief when she knew it, and let them go.
Seeing her relatives, Xu Huashang was in a good mood, and pulled her mother to talk about the affairs of the house, and after listening to Xu Huasheng's words, Yan frowned: "I said how did you reveal the pregnancy, it was Ning Miao who intervened in it." ”
Xu Huashang bowed: "Mother, did you say that she knew about her daughter's pregnancy for a long time before she deliberately asked the imperial doctor to take her daughter's pulse." ”
Yan Shi pondered for a moment and shook his head: "I don't think so, if she had known that you were pregnant, I am afraid that she would have stumbled you a long time ago, how could she let the prince know that you were pregnant." ”
Xu Huashang was a little worried: "You asked me to hide it before, and I waited for three months before revealing it, but now that they know it in advance, will my daughter be in danger?" ”
Yan patted Xu Huashang's hand and comforted: "It's okay, you haven't gone out much recently, don't go to meet the two women in the house, they naturally can't do anything to you, even if they want to make a move, they have to take care of King Xian's face, after all, this is King Xian's first child, maybe it's the eldest son in the future." ”
Speaking of this, the expression on Yan's face soared, what about the side concubine, the eldest son of the palace has not come out of her daughter's belly. When Xu Huashang heard this, the expression on his face softened a lot, and he touched his stomach, but remembering Li Yu's words yesterday, his face darkened again, and he relayed Li Yu's words to Yan's.
After hearing this, the joy on Yan's face faded a lot: "Did King Xian really say that?" ”
Xu Huashang nodded, and then said aggrievedly: "After learning that I was pregnant, my cousin has not come to visit me, but he just gave me some things, Ning Miao is sick, but he stays there every day, mother, cousin, he won't really like that Ning Miao." ”
Yan couldn't figure out Li Yu's thoughts, so he could only comfort: "You are now pregnant with King Xian's child, no matter what, this is the prince's first child, it is good to be born after all, you don't have to worry about other things, I will go back and discuss it with your father." ”
Xu is Yan's words worked, Xu Huashang recuperated in his own courtyard with peace of mind, while Ning Miao recuperated in his own yard, and the power in the house was handed over to the Zhang family, Zhang was a well-behaved person, even if he held the power in the house, he didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary, for a while, the backyard of the Xianwang Mansion was much quieter.
