63. Design

Jiang Meihua asked hopefully: "If you walk for an hour every day, may you be able to recover as before?" ”

This peach blossom is not guaranteed. Some people can do it after giving birth, and some people can't, which is not only a matter of exercise and diet, but also a reason for personal physique.

Like Jiang Meihua, if she changes to the next generation, Taohua will formulate a reasonable exercise plan, and she will be recuperated in half a year. But this is in the palace, and speeding every day is the limit, and even running is probably impossible, how can Taohua make this guarantee? Moreover, Jiang Meihua is now twenty years old, and compared with a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, it is normal for her body shape to change a little.

"Big sister, health is the most important thing. Every morning and evening, I walked for half an hour, relaxed my mind, supplemented by medicine, and after half a year, I will definitely be much better than now. I know that the big sister used to be slender, but as she gets older, it is normal to be a little plumper, and there is no need to blindly pursue it, and it should be best to look good. ”

The king of Chu has a thin waist, and he starves to death in the palace, does the current emperor like Zhao Feiyan?

"Half a year ......" Jiang Meihua only heard these two words, and her heart suddenly cooled. There are a new batch of young and beautiful concubines in the palace, and they are fresh. It has been half a year since she had a miscarriage, and the emperor came several times in order to appease her, but now it is gradually fading, if she waits for another half a year, the emperor may not know who she is, "Can't you be faster?" ”

Taohua shook her head: "Big sister, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it." "It's not impossible to lose weight quickly, but it hurts. Especially Jiang Meihua is not only a fat body now, but also her complexion, "Big sister, it's best not to use fat powder anymore." ”

Jiang Meihua subconsciously touched her face. Because it was her own mother who came today, she didn't cover her face with a very thick layer of fat powder, but she still put on a layer. If not...... The emperor is here, can you still see this face?

"There is a third sister of Lao. Yesterday, the emperor rewarded a few snacks, and my sister went there to sit down and have a cup of tea. ”

Agarwood hurriedly came over and took Taohua out, Jiang Meihua suddenly leaned in the chair and smiled bitterly.

Xiao Shi had been listening to the side, and then said, "Sister Mei, I listened to what Sister Tao said...... It seems to make sense...... "Although she doesn't know medical skills, she has been pregnant several times, and Mrs. Jiang has said that she wants to move properly." At this time, after listening to Taohua's words, I suddenly remembered that Jiang Meihua has been quiet since she was a child, and she doesn't move her nest for a day when she reads and writes. Compared with the two, she believed Taohua's words a little.

Jiang Meihua shook her head tiredly: "What the third sister said may be reasonable, but-mother, you also heard it, the third sister just said that she would always have to be conditioned for half a year, and let me not use fat powder, you look at my face, I don't need fat powder, can you see it when the emperor comes?" "The concubines in the palace all tried their best to raise their muscles like ice and snow, but her face was dark and yellow, and it was strange that the emperor could see it.

Xiaoshi's tears fell suddenly: "It's all this little harm!" -" The latter words were swallowed back, although they knew that most of them were the hands of the queen, but they didn't dare to say it so bluntly.

Jiang Meihua smiled miserably: "It's also my carelessness." That's it, I can't wait for half a year, my mother doesn't know, in addition to going to the queen and the concubine recently, the emperor is a new concubine. Even Yu Zhaorong was only able to let the emperor take a look at the eldest princess when she was sick last time. ”

Xiao Shi said with tears in his eyes: "I came to the palace this time, and your grandmother told me not to trouble the queen mother and queen anymore, you are still young, wait a little longer......"

Jiang Meihua became anxious: "Does grandmother still believe in the Queen Mother?" If the Queen Mother really cares about the affection of the same clan, how can my child be gone-the imperial doctor said that it is a male fetus and has been formed! ”

After being pregnant for several months, she was hit by someone and had a miscarriage, even if you don't say the grace and honor that this child will bring, it is also a heartache for mothers. Jiang Meihua almost didn't think about the lost child for a day, and when she talked about it at this moment, she couldn't help but burst into tears again, causing Xiaoshi to cry too, and only said: "But in this palace, the Queen Mother has the final say." Depending on what your grandmother meant, if you had not been pregnant...... "you would not have fallen to the point where you are today."

Jiang Meihua's eyebrows raised suddenly: "Could it be that grandmother is saying that I am here today, and I am all to blame?" If I hadn't believed in the Queen Mother and the Queen too much, how could I have lost this child! ”

Xiaoshi actually didn't agree with Yu's words, but the harem was indeed controlled by the queen mother and queen, so what could you do if you didn't bow your head?

Jiang Meihua wrung the handkerchief in her hand fiercely, and it took a while to calm down: "I heard that Concubine Shu also summoned her family today, and she also brought a distant cousin." ”

"Yes, I just met it in Shouxian Palace." Xiao Shi didn't understand what he meant at first, and it wasn't until he saw Jiang Meihua sneering that he suddenly woke up, "You mean, that girl is for--But Concubine Shu heard that she is very favored?" "Do you need someone to help fix your pet?

Jiang Meihua smiled coldly: "Although there is a pet, it is also unlucky." "I had two pregnancies, two miscarriages, and now I heard that my body is not very good, and it is difficult to get pregnant again, so I naturally want to find a young person with a good body, if I can give birth to a son, it is the same to raise it under my own name.

"Her calculation is good...... Xiao Shi still didn't realize the true meaning of Jiang Meihua's words, until he found that his daughter had been staring at him, and he was a little puzzled, "How ......?"

Jiang Meihua sighed, and could only say clearly: "Mother, Concubine Shu is still so favored, I'm here-" is far inferior to Concubine Shu.

Xiao Shi was taken aback: "You want to-" No wonder she brought all the girls in the family into the palace.

Jiang Meihua didn't hide it anymore, pointed to the side hall, and lowered her voice: "The second sister hasn't seen her for a few years, how is her whereabouts?" How do you compare it to the third sister? ”

Xiao Shi was still shocked, and Mu Ran replied: "Sister Lian'er was born very delicate, but it is not as good as Sister Tao'er." After speaking, he reacted, "But your grandfather refuses." "Otherwise, it wouldn't have been said that the girls were too old to go to the palace, it turned out that the old lady guessed the eldest granddaughter's mind at that time?

"Besides, your second uncle won't be there." Jiang Zhu and his wife only have a son and a daughter, and they love Jiang Lianhua like a treasure, just look at the daily use, "These days, I have been looking for her relatives everywhere in Beijing......" Xiaoshi hesitated for a moment, and said his conjecture, "I see, your second aunt is the son of the prefect of Fuzhou." ”

"Is it the Cui family who has a relationship with King Anjun?" Jiang Meihua snorted, "Second Uncle is just a seventh-grade now, right?" "The prefect of Fuzhou is a fourth-grade product, and it is several levels behind.

"But with General Lu's support." Xiao Shi frowned as soon as he talked about Jiang Zhu's first room, "Besides, that time also saved Fuzhou, otherwise, they would not be able to connect with the Cui family." It's good now, the eldest girl of the Cui family is always sick, your second aunt will go over to visit every three or five times, send ginseng today and bird's nest tomorrow, so don't be affectionate! ”

Jiang Meihua waved her hand and didn't care: "It's that they don't want to, as long as the emperor takes a fancy to it, do they dare to resist the decree?" What's more, even if you are reluctant at first, you will be willing to wait for pets. ”

"This is also ......" Xiao Shi thought about it, and his heart was still a little empty, "But if the Queen Mother knows, if she is annoyed, then won't your life be even more sad?" Even if you send someone in, it may not be good. ”

Jiang Meihua smiled coldly: "Does my mother like to be controlled by the queen mother and queen when she is the emperor?" ”

"Whoa-" Xiao Shi almost covered his daughter's mouth, "This, this can't be nonsense." ”

Jiang Meihua waved her hand: "Just talk to my mother here, if I still live in Xiangyan Palace, I don't dare to speak." Mother thinks about it, the emperor is almost thirty years old when he sees it, and he doesn't have a son yet, and the queen clearly can't give birth to herself and doesn't let others give birth, will the emperor like it? ”

"This--I can't ...... it" Depending on which family a man is, he should be anxious about his son when he is thirty years old.

Jiang Meihua lowered her voice even more: "Why is the queen so arrogant? Isn't it because of the outside--Yu Banchao? ”

After ten years of marriage, there is no outcome, which family is this exchanged, the wife should be open to her husband to take a concubine and give birth to a child, even if she gives birth to a concubine, it is better than cutting off the incense. But the queen doesn't, she can't give birth to a son herself, and she doesn't let other concubines give birth. It must be known that among the seven outs, jealousy accounts for one, childlessness accounts for two, and the queen accounts for two at once, even if she is the mother of a country, it is rare for all dynasties to dare to do this. What does she rely on? It's the power of the mother's family!

"That-" Xiao Shi vaguely thought of the tone that her husband had leaked, "You mean, the emperor--taboo at home?" ”

Jiang Meihua sneered: "On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly!" ”

The emperor was only eighteen years old when he ascended the throne, although he was the eldest son of the first emperor, but his biological mother's status was too low, and he was crowned the crown prince because he was raised under the knees of the queen at that time. However, it is now the tenth year of Longqing, and the emperor has grown from a teenager to a prime of life in that position, how can he still be willing to be held in the hands of the queen mother?

"What's more, Yu Ge is very old, although he has many protΓ©gΓ©s, but the sons in the family are not angry, even the sons and nephews of the same clan are not very good." In the Half Dynasty, most of the people who accounted for the Half Dynasty were his protΓ©gΓ©s and in-laws, which were of course natural allies, but they were not as reliable as people with the same surname.

Jiang Jun occasionally mentioned these words, although Xiao Shi did not understand the political affairs outside, he also felt that her husband was right. Now that her daughter is saying the same, her heart is also active. What's more, a good prince and grandson were killed like that, and her daughter became like this again, how could she not hate it in her heart?

"But if you say, why didn't you pick Sister Peach? How many of you sisters, she still has the best birth. "Jiang Lianhua is beautiful, but she is too thin. Jiang Danhua and Taohua are both bright and beautiful, but even if Yu is a mother-in-law, she can't say in good conscience that she is better than Taohua. Jiang Xinghua is pitiful, but he is also a little inferior.

Jiang Meihua looked in the direction of the side hall and hesitated: "I don't think the third sister is willing to listen to others." "The first time I entered the palace, I saw myself as a Jieyu Niangniang, but I didn't have the slightest flattery, and I talked about the illness eloquently, and I didn't even change because of my reaction, this is a girl with ideas.

"It's just that you're used to being the master at home, and your grandfather is spoiled, so his temper is naturally bigger." Xiao Shi didn't think so, "Besides, since your grandfather asked her to come to check your pulse, you can enter the palace a few more times, if you say that you want to bring a lotus girl, it will be a little embarrassing......"

Jiang Meihua pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's try it first." These days, the queen mother is taking medicine, and the emperor comes to visit at noon every day. Go out of me and meet me. ”

The mother and daughter whispered here, and Taohua had already sat down in the side hall and talked to Agarwood: "Have you seen this batch of new concubines?" ”

"The slave maid met a few times when she followed Jieyu to greet the queen."

"There's a Lu Baolin, can you see it?"

"Lu Baolin......" The look on Agarwood's face was a little awkward, "Why did the third girl ask about Lu Baolin, she is quite favored now." Could it be that the three girls recognize her? Among the new concubines who entered the palace, Lu Baolin's favor was better than that of Zhao Chongyi, who was a high-ranking person, and he was the first among the newcomers, and Agarwood was naturally also noticed.

"Oh, we met when we were in Wuxi." When Taohua heard this, she didn't know whether to worry or rejoice. It is a good thing to be favored, but if you attract the queen's eyes, it may be trouble, "Where does she live now?" ”

"Live with Wang Chongyuan of the Qunxiang Palace." Agarwood looked at Taohua's expression, "The third girl has a good relationship with Lu Baolin?" ”

Taohua raised her eyes and looked at her: "Didn't you say it, you met when you were in Wuxi." "I don't know if this maid has been in the palace for a long time, and her words are quite condescending.

"So that's ......" Agarwood thought to herself. She naturally knew Jiang Meihua's purpose of calling her sisters into the palace, this third girl was really good, even if she was placed in the palace, she was considered outstanding, but she seemed to have some friendship with Lu Baolin, who was now favored, and Jiang Meihua could be regarded as an opponent.

The two of them don't speculate, Taohua has already asked what she wants to ask, so she won't say anything to Agarwood anymore. Sitting silently and drinking two cups of tea with a piece of snack, the little one finally came out of the main hall, and Jiang Meihua followed behind: "I'll send my mother and third sister." ”

Most of the female dependents who enter the palace are not allowed to keep food, each concubine has its own share, only if the emperor allows the mother's family to eat, the imperial dining room will add vegetables and rice to send over, Jiang Meihua is not qualified now.

These rules have been talked about by Xiao Xiaodu, so Taohua didn't take it to heart and walked out.

Which way to take when you came, which way to go back when you go back, Xiao Shi and Jiang Meihua's mother and daughter were talking in front, and Taohua followed absentmindedly in the back. In fact, she really wanted to go and see Lu Ying, but she also knew that the harem was not a place where she could walk around casually, and it would be a good thing to know that Lu Ying was quite favored now.

Just thinking about it, I only heard a soft sound in front of me, and I didn't know whether it was clapping or whistling, as soon as Taohua looked up, she saw two small attendants rushing over on the road.

In the end, it was the first time that Momoka had really come into close contact with the royal family. In the past, although there were many costume dramas to watch, for the sake of visual effects, there were different distortions. And it is impossible for Mrs. Jiang to speak in all aspects, so Taohua really doesn't know that this posture actually represents that the emperor is coming.

When she was stunned, Jiang Meihua had already pulled Xiao Shifu down, and a group of people turned out on the road in front of her, and a person wearing an ochre yellow plate collar robe in the middle was looking up. Taohua saw the dragon pattern on his robe at a glance, and his heart suddenly chuckled, and he hurriedly squatted down - ochre yellow robe, dragon pattern, entering and leaving the harem, this can only be a person, the emperor!

Sure enough, she just squatted down, and heard Jiang Meihua already calling: "Your Majesty." ”

The Emperor's voice was slightly low, with a bit of magnetism: "Get up." He looked at Xiao Xiao, "This is Mrs. Jiang?" ”

As soon as Xiao Shi stood up, he hurriedly went down again: "Courtesy Jiang Yushi, please say hello to the emperor." "I pulled Taohua casually, "This is the niece of the courtier, and she has been entering the palace with the courtiers to visit Jieyu Niangniang." ”

You don't have to introduce her alone. Taohua thought in her heart, and hurriedly followed and saluted, although she heard the emperor say: "Since you are Jieyu's relatives, you don't need to be polite." But he still finished a salute before getting up. She still remembered Mrs. Jiang's advice, don't take the politeness of these superiors as real politeness.

Before he stood up, he heard Jiang Meihua say softly: "Are the emperor and King Anjun going to the queen mother?" ”

King Anjun? Taohua quickly lowered her head when she saw only an ochre yellow robe just now, and then she never raised her head again, and at this moment she could only see the hem of the dragon robe, and there was a red robe behind it, and then there was a narrow blue robe worn by the inner attendants. Hearing Jiang Meihua's words at this time, he subconsciously raised his head slightly, and sure enough, he saw Shen Shu standing behind the emperor, wearing a red regular robe.

The so-called regular clothes are not the casual clothes worn at home, but the clothes that are often worn when looking at things. The regular clothes of the county king are red, and the embroidered ones are four-clawed dragons. Shen Shu has a slender figure, a slightly dark complexion, and is particularly handsome and handsome in red clothes, which is quite eye-catching.

Tao Hua just glanced at this, and was about to lower her head again when she touched the emperor's gaze. There are actually three points of similarity between the emperor and Shen Shu's eyebrows, and their figures are similar, but they look more stable. And after living in the palace for a long time, his complexion is much fairer, and he has a bit of a humble gentleman, warm as jade.

This thought only flashed in Taohua's mind, and she was strangled to death by Taohua, and then lowered her head again, secretly screaming badly. Looking directly at Long Yan without permission can be judged disrespectful, although her head is not fully raised, it is difficult to say whether it will displease the emperor.

The emperor replied lightly to Jiang Meihua's words: "It's to visit the Queen Mother." ”

His robe stood still, as if he had no intention of leaving immediately. Taohua lowered her head so low that her neck was about to stiffen, and she suddenly heard Shen Shu say: "Brother Huang, this is the third girl of the Jiang family that my brother talked about last time." ”

Jiang Meihua was stunned, she hadn't heard that Taohua and King Anjun were old acquaintances. The emperor had already sighed: "Was it the last time I saw through the fake medicine in the West Market?" Jiang Langzhong's family has been a doctor for generations, and he really has the ability. ”

Jiang Meihua didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only squat in a daze: "The emperor has won the award...... "I was about to mention the matter of greeting the queen mother in the morning, but I forgot about it, and my eyes involuntarily glanced at Shen Shu. She remembered the death of Concubine Xian, and thought that it would be good to meet this King of Anjun and not trouble them, but she didn't expect him to speak, as if he was - to relieve Taohua?

Xiao Shi didn't think about it so much. She was also bold enough to quietly look up just now, and saw the emperor standing there, her daughter standing beside him, her eyes full of tenderness, but the emperor was not looking at her, but looked at Taohua, and suddenly felt happy and uncomfortable. Rejoicing, of course, because Jiang Meihua's plan is expected to succeed, but it is uncomfortable that it is not his daughter who is noticed by the emperor.

Looking at Taohua again, even Xiaoshi couldn't help but grit his teeth and say, it was really an outstanding one.

Taohua is tall and tall, only fourteen years old, almost comparable to Jiang Meihua. And with Jiang Meihua's now fat figure, she looks more and more slender. Wearing a half-new shirt embroidered with a light red poppy on a white background, and a six-piece skirt with a moon white underneath, standing under the willow tree is also like a half-bloomed poppy flower, bright and pleasant.

Although the head has been lowered, the crow crow's sideburns still show a little white forehead, black satin-like hair is pinned with a silver hairpin, and a pair of red coral beads on the hairpin head are bright and bright, and the red agate pendant hanging down from the ears contrasts, and the hair is black and white, and under the noon sun, glowing with a healthy and moist luster. Compared with Jiang Meihua's gloomy face, it is even more ......

Xiao Shi only felt that his heart was uncomfortably blocked, and he reluctantly looked away, and saw that King Anjun, who was standing behind the emperor, was also looking at Taohua, and remembered what he said just now, and suddenly this breath choked even more solidly.

In fact, Xiao Shi had a ghost in his heart, so he felt that the time seemed to be very long, in fact, the emperor only said a few words to Jiang Meihua when he stood still, and he only looked Taohua up and down, and then raised his foot and prepared to leave.

Jiang Meihua knew that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and she didn't do much to keep it, but said: "The queen mother must have been looking forward to the emperor for a long time, and the concubines sent the emperor off." ”

As soon as he said this, the emperor nodded: "You are not in good health, you can ask your family to come in a few more times." ”

Although Jiang Meihua was a little puzzled in her heart, today's expected goal could be regarded as completely achieved, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of joy, and hurriedly said: "The concubine thanks the emperor for his grace." ”

The emperor waved his hand and walked away with the people without looking back. Xiao Shi let out a heavy breath, and then felt that he was a little out of shape, and whispered: "The emperor is majestic, I don't dare to come out of the atmosphere." It's just that King Anjun is also in the palace? As soon as Shen Shu returned to Beijing, the Queen Mother gave him a casual house outside on the grounds that "the prince is too old to live in the harem".

Jiang Meihua didn't care to answer her mother, so she turned her head and asked Taohua first: "The third sister and the king of Anjun know each other?" What's going on with the West Market? ”

Taohua frowned slightly. Anyone who is questioned in such a censoring tone will not feel very comfortable, and this person is not very familiar with you. However, this is both an elder sister and a concubine in the palace, and she can't help but answer: "King Anjun met a fake medicine seller in the West Market, and my father saw through it. ”

Jiang Meihua breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Of course, only Jiang Xi can do this kind of thing, and it has nothing to do with Taohua. If so, it can ease the relationship between the Jiang family and King Anjun.

Thinking in his heart, he replied to Xiao Shi: "The Queen Mother has been suffering from eye disease recently, so King Anjun often comes to the palace to ask for peace." It's not too early, my mother and third sister will go out of the palace, and if I have the emperor, I can come in a few more times in the future. ”
