For this kind of thing of mentioning ancestors without saying a word, Taohua hates it deeply.

This may have stemmed from her experiences in her previous life. At that time, her parents had always felt that they couldn't hold their heads up among relatives in order not to have a son, and Taohua didn't know how many times she had heard her father privately say that she was sorry for her ancestors when she cut off the incense, and at that time she had a physiological aversion to the ancestors as a creature.

Of course, when she grew up, she understood that the problem was not with her ancestors, but with the people who always talked about her ancestors. Ancestors actually don't care what you do, it's just that unfortunately people always use it as a shield.

With the experience of that life, Taohua was really disgusted by the Empress Naxiandi. However, people's attitude towards their ancestors in this era is different from that of later generations, as long as they move out of the first emperor, even the emperor and the queen mother are not easy to refute, let alone Taohua as a daughter-in-law.

"That's what the mother said." Taohua replied lightly and glanced at the gate of the palace. At this time, everyone arrived, the palace people have begun to pass the dishes, a plate of dishes that have been prepared for a long time are sent up like flowing water, and they are also all available for delicacies from the mountains and seas, but in this weather, some dishes are already cold, only a few hot dishes on the top are more, and the little concubines at the bottom look good-looking, but there are no few plates that can be eaten, I am afraid that I have to rely on dim sum to fill my stomach.

The queen felt that Taohua's words were soft and weak, so she suddenly became proud, and said tightly: "Since you know, you can't just talk about it." It's not a matter that you don't see movement in your belly, so it's better to give a few people to the king of Anjun first, there is a son and a half daughter, and it's good for you to take it to your side and raise it, so I will bring you a child to transport it. ”

As he spoke, he deliberately turned his head and smiled at the emperor: "Did the emperor say it?" At King Anjun's age, he really can't be delayed any longer. ”

The emperor was leaning sideways to talk to Concubine Yuan Shu, and he didn't turn around after listening to the queen's words, he only sighed lightly, and said to Zhao Chongyi, who was in charge: "It's cold today, you are a little thinly dressed, but is it cold?" ”

Zhao Chongyi recuperated for a long time after giving birth, and she has been silent, but today she is deliberately grooming. Silver-red jacket, eight white skirts under the moon, each skirt is embroidered with a different pattern, together is a picture of Chang'e running to the moon, not to mention the embroidery, this thought alone is very ingenious.

At the Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet, the concubines were all showy, but Zhao Chongyi did the opposite, dressed elegantly and chicly, and as soon as she appeared, she was a little different from others, which was quite refreshing. At this time, seeing that the emperor specially inquired about her, the concubines who were also carefully dressed next to her suddenly became a little jealous, and Zhao Chongyi's eyes were not very different, and no one had the heart to listen to the heirs of Princess Anjun for a while.

Of course, the queen looked at Zhao Chongyi very unpleasantly. Zhao Chongyi had been low-key before, and with Concubine Yuan Shufei in front of her, she gradually forgot about Zhao Chongyi. At first glance today, I remembered that this one is actually more dangerous than Concubine Yuan Shu, after all, the Yuan family is only a five- or six-grade petty official, but Zhao Chongyi's father is a scholar, with a high and powerful position, and now he is still inseparable from the Yu family, far from the concerted efforts of the past.

"It's warm in this hall, but it's not cold for concubines." Zhao Chongyi's makeup today is not bright, the two distant mountain eyebrows are painted lightly and long, the combed bun is like Chang'e on the skirt, and the smile is really a little fluttering, "The queen mother is thoughtful and has arranged a lot of braziers." ”

Penglai Hall is a place to take refuge in the heat and enjoy the coolness, naturally there is no dragon to repair the earth, at this time, the brass brazier is caged in the four corners of the main hall, both take the warmth, and smoke the incense, kill two birds with one stone. It's just that this hall is too spacious, and the four-corner cage brazier is not too practical, Zhao Chongyi said this, obviously saying good things about the queen against her will.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person with a hand. Although Zhao Chongyi was talking to the emperor, she was saying good things about the queen, Rao is queen was a hundred uncomfortable in her heart, and it was not good to be angry with her, so she had to suppress this jealousy first, and continued to attack Taohua: "It is said that this kind of thing should always be your own concern, but this palace also knows that you are different from others, and there are errands outside, so it is inevitable to be negligent." I heard that there are few people in your house, and you probably can't pick out anything good, but this palace is-"

As soon as she said this, a palace man walked past Taohua with a pot of stewed fish. Because the queen mother is now asked to eat more fish and less meat, the queen specially arranged this dish today: there is a pot on the top, and a charcoal fire is burning at the bottom, so that the soup is boiling in it, and the fish fragrance is overflowing.

At today's banquet, not everyone has this fish pot, except for the Queen Mother and the Empress Emperor, that is, Prince Cheng and the King of Anjun and the Lord of Nanhua, the rest of the concubines are all steamed fish, and the service is already half cold, and the fishy smell is too strong to eat.

Who knew that before the fragrant fish pot was placed on the table, Taohua had already turned around, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and retched.

Sitting next to her was Prince Cheng, who was taken aback and blurted out, "What's wrong?" "If this is spit on her body, Taohua will be a little rude, but she will be really embarrassed.

Taohua is actually half true and half fake. Her current condition is mainly due to changes in diet and lethargy, and her vomiting is not too bad, but she has some morning sickness every day. When the fish pot was served, although she felt that some of the fishy smell was too heavy and uncomfortable, she didn't spit it out directly, but she just took advantage of the situation to play a scene in this pot.

The concubines in the first hall, all those who have been pregnant have thought of a little, but just now the queen was saying that Princess Anjun was not pregnant, if it was morning sickness at this time, wouldn't it be slapping the queen's face? Therefore no one was silent. Only Lu Ying whispered under his head: "Let's ask a doctor to take a look." ”

When the emperor sent the news, he knew that Shen Shu and his wife would naturally think of it, but he didn't expect Taohua to come up with this method to deal with it, and he wasn't sure if she was really pregnant or pretending to be pregnant, so he didn't dare to say that he would ask for a doctor, so he only said: "But you're not feeling well?" ”

Shen Shu helped Taohua with one hand, gently stroked her back with the other, looked up at the emperor and smiled: "I should have come to report the good news to the emperor and the queen mother earlier, but the days were still short a few days ago, and even she herself couldn't ...... it."

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows: "So, what a joy?" Have you asked the doctor to check the pulse? Quickly, pass on the envoy of the Zheng Academy. "To be honest, she didn't believe it, it was too much of a coincidence, right? There was no movement at all a few days ago, and it was only a few days since Yu Lin's last incident. Everyone outside says that this Jiang family's luck is good, but it won't really be like this?

The queen mother didn't believe it, and the queen didn't believe it even more. In her opinion, this Jiang is definitely pretending! Therefore, he was more anxious than the Queen Mother, and called people to urge the envoy of the Zheng Yuan one after another.

Under this big festival, the palace generally does not call the imperial doctor in order to ask for good luck, so the envoy of the Zheng Yuan is not on duty today. When the Tai Hospital got the news, he immediately asked someone to go out of the palace to find the envoy of the Zheng Hospital, and the medical officer on duty picked up the medicine box and flew to Penglai Hall to see which master was uncomfortable and passed on the imperial doctor on such a day.

As a result, I saw that it was not a disease, but a joy, no wonder I was not afraid of bad luck. It's just that the relationship between the princess of Anjun and the two big Buddhas in the palace is known to everyone, and a few days ago, the queen also got a few palace maids to let the imperial doctors diagnose the pulse, although they did not say it explicitly, the imperial doctors also have their own news channels, and they all know what is going on. At this time, Princess Anjun suddenly broke out that she was pregnant, and when you look at the face of the queen, you should know that this matter is not so "happy".

The unlucky imperial doctor, who only hated why he was on duty today, took the pulse pillow to ask for the pulse with trembling, and diagnosed his right hand with his left hand.

The queen waited impatiently, and finally waited for the imperial doctor to finish the diagnosis, and immediately asked, "How?" ”

The imperial doctor diagnosed this pulse as if it was very similar to a slippery pulse, but it was not particularly obvious, so he didn't dare to answer for a while, so he could only say: "It's about the princess of the county, and the princess is still shallow, and this-the lower official is not 100% sure, maybe it is better to wait for the hospital envoy to come and have another diagnosis......

In fact, this doctor did not say that he was 100% sure of the pulse, but it was just an excuse. The queen sneered and asked Taohua, "How many months have you been?" ”

Taohua stroked her lower abdomen with one hand and replied with a smile: "It's not about a month and a half." This is based on the days of menstruation, but if you really have to calculate it carefully, it may be a little less. It's just that this time her reaction was particularly early and strong, even the pulse was clearer than the average person, if she changed the general pulse weaker, probably it wouldn't be visible now, so it's no wonder that the doctor didn't dare to confirm it immediately.

At this moment, the eyes of all the people in the palace fell on Taohua. Jiang Heng is a foreign man, and he is not married, these words should not be heard, so naturally he closed his mouth and lowered his head and pretended to be deaf and dumb, but he was a little anxious in his heart. Wen was first diagnosed as pregnant in Wuxi when he knew it. Now Wen is pregnant with her second child, and it was only in the first two months that the happy pulse was diagnosed.

Although the little uncle shouldn't listen to his sister-in-law's affairs, after all, they are all in the same family, and it is a happy event, Jiang Heng also poured a little common sense into his ears, knowing that this woman is pregnant, and it will not be diagnosed too early. And Taohua has not been around for less than a month and a half, is it really pregnant or misdiagnosed? In case of a wrong diagnosis, looking at the queen like that, I am afraid that I will have to ask a crime of defrauding the king.

Many of the concubines below also thought the same thing in their hearts. Yu Zhaorong pursed his lips first, and said in a low voice: "The days are so shallow, Princess Anjun has also been diagnosed?" I've heard that doctors don't treat themselves, so they don't have to diagnose their own pulses, but they may not be accurate. ”

Prince Cheng and Princess Cheng are also related. It's been almost three months since she had two children, and the doctor said that the happy pulse was obvious, why did she arrive so early in Taohua?

For a while, everyone was talking, only Taohua sat with a slight smile, looking calm.

The envoy of Zheng Yuan was not too far from the palace, and he hurried over after receiving the news. He was old and his legs were slow, and the palace specially arranged for two strong eunuchs to carry him in a small sedan chair, and he arrived in a short time. The queen didn't wait for him to ask An to salute, so she pointed to Taohua and said: "No need to be polite, first check the pulse of Princess Anjun, she is not feeling well." ”

When the envoy of the Zheng Yuan saw that there was a imperial doctor in the hall, he took a look at it first, and when he saw that the hand was hanging down on his side and gestured, he understood a little more in his heart. So he stepped forward and asked for the pulse carefully, and said: "Congratulations to the king of Anjun, congratulations to the princess of the county, this is more than a month pregnant." ”

As soon as this congratulation came out, the queen was suddenly frustrated, she couldn't even squeeze out a smile, and said dryly: "It's only been a month, can you get the diagnosis accurate?" ”

The envoy of the Zheng Yuan bowed down and said: "Although the days are still shallow, the princess of the county is in good health, and her pulse is stronger than that of ordinary people, and the lower officials have some experience on this road, so there is no need to wait for a few days to be diagnosed." "He's also good at gynaecology, and others may not be very sure, but he can be sure.

The emperor immediately smiled: "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival can also be regarded as double happiness." ”

He made a start, and the concubines below immediately congratulated Taohua with one mouth at a time, either sincerely or falsely. Even the Queen Mother smiled and said, "This is really good news." I still have a statue of Guanyin in my library, so I went to get it immediately. ”

The queen's heart was as sour as if she had overturned an old vinegar vat, and it was full of bitterness. After thinking about it, he smiled again and said, "You are the first child, you have to give birth to a good child, don't be careless." It's just that I'm pregnant, and I'm afraid I won't have time to take care of King Anjun, so I'll send you two people here to help you serve. ”

As he spoke, without waiting for Taohua to speak, he immediately clapped his hands, and saw two palace people coming out of the apse, walking in front of everyone with their heads down. These two palace people are very good, especially the eyebrows and eyes are bright and tall, and they all have a bit of peach character.

The queen smiled a little proudly: "These two girls have been diagnosed by the doctor, and there is nothing wrong with them, so I can help you a little bit." ”

The emperor looked at the two palace maids, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he was about to speak, Shen Shu got up unhurriedly and said: "I should have thanked the queen for receiving the order, but a few days ago, the princess was diagnosed as pregnant, so I went to Xingjiao Temple to ask for a hexagram, but the abbot of Yuanzhi personally calculated it, saying that it is not suitable for more yin people in the house, otherwise I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the princess." In this way, I can only thank the queen for her grace, but these two palace people dare not receive it. ”

The name of the abbot of Yuanzhi, the empress also knows. Although Xingjiao Temple is not a royal temple, it is heavier than any royal temple, and the abbot of Yuanzhi calculates the hexagram, even if the emperor can't refer to it as vain, let alone her.

However, in this way, wouldn't the two carefully selected people not be able to send it away? The queen's breath was so blocked that she couldn't get up or down, and she almost wanted to turn her face. Or the Queen Mother coughed lightly and interjected: "In this way, don't you dare to use a girl in front of you?" How can this be served? ”

Shen Shu said with a smile: "I also thought about this, so I specially took the eight characters of the girls in the house to approve it, and selected a few who did not hinder it to stay, and the rest were sent far away, and a few of the eight characters that did not agree were arranged to Zhuangzi, and then moved back when this fetus fell to the ground." ”

The incompatible characters are all with a bit of background, and since they have been arranged to Zhuangzi, they don't know that the Year of the Monkey will come back. Taohua is now pregnant, and Shen Shu doesn't dare to leave people at home indiscriminately.

In this palace banquet, probably except for Shen Shu and his wife, only Lu Ying was happy in his heart. Anyway, the queen didn't move a few chopsticks, and she sighed in her heart. In previous years, the rule was that the moon to the middle of the sky just to enjoy the moon in the water, until the moon slightly slanted to the west before the end of the excitement, this year no one has this interest, it is easy to wait until the moon moves to the middle of the sky, the round shadow in the pool appeared, everyone looked at a few times, then hastily dispersed the feast, each went back.

The queen's breath was really uncomfortable, and as soon as she returned to the palace, she poured two cups of tea, and still felt that there was something in her stomach that was blocked, and she couldn't help but be angry that today's food was not done well, and then blamed the tea for not helping digestion, and beat chickens and scolded dogs in the palace for a long time. Finally, she remembered that it was a good day, and she didn't dare to make too much trouble.

For a while, there was another mess underground, and the henchmen and palace people cleaned it up, so they served the queen and rested. Where can the queen sleep, think about her age is already thirty, and the emperor rests in the Fengyi Hall on the fifteenth day of every month, but in recent years, there are many pure sleeps, so I am afraid that it is impossible to have children. The more I thought about it, the more sad I became, and I cried for half the night to finish.

None of the concubines in the palace here can sleep immediately, so they inevitably have to discuss Princess Anjun, but they feel that she is really lucky. Princess Cheng and her husband took the car back to the house, and couldn't help but say: "Her luck is really good." ”

Prince Cheng has been sick and weak since he was a child, and his heart as a prince has been worn out by many illnesses over the years, and he has no interest in other people's affairs. ”

Prince Cheng was a little angry: "I just don't believe why she is so lucky." "She is not from a high background, and after marrying Prince Cheng, she lives behind closed doors, and there are not many concubines and concubines of Prince Cheng, so she always feels that her luck has been excellent, and now she suddenly sees a better luck, and her heart is a little unbalanced.

Prince Cheng sighed: "Only God has the final say in the matter of luck." Why didn't he complain about his bad luck? Obviously, the mother concubine is not low in background and has a high ranking, but she is a sick and weak body, sandwiched between a brother and a brother, and has no competition, so she can only spend her days in the palace. It can be seen that a drink and a peck have been decided, and there is no time in life to ask for it.

If her husband doesn't take care of her, Princess Cheng will be meaningless if she says a few words. In the end, it was a matter of the Anjun Palace, and it was useless for her to say more.

By the time the carriage returned to the Prince's Palace, it was late. Prince Cheng couldn't stand it a little, and immediately went to rest, Prince Cheng still fought hard and asked the maid who stayed at home: "Brother has made a game today?" ”

In the recuperation method that Taohua wrote for the eldest princess, in addition to diet, there are also many games, telling the eldest princess to move for half an hour every day, and as she gets older, she must increase the time and intensity appropriately. Prince Cheng took it back and concocted it to her two sons in the same way.

The princess had never even heard of these games, and the two children felt more fresh, and they had a lot of fun every day, and they seemed to be in good spirits. While Prince Cheng was pleased, she couldn't help but add a little resentment to Taohua - it was obviously a good way, why could she give it to the eldest princess, but not to her son?

The maid hurriedly replied, "It's all done on time." Brother likes it, he goes without the slave and maid saying it, and when the time comes, the slave and the maid can't coax it back. ”

Prince Cheng couldn't help but smile: "It's rare that they like it so much, it doesn't hurt to play for a while." Just remember to wipe off the sweat quickly after playing, and only take a shower after a while, don't catch a cold. These are all written in the recuperation method, and Prince Cheng also knows that her son is weak, so she pays special attention to it.

The maid hurriedly said: "The slave and maid know, keep an eye on it." The nurses are also careful, and they dare not be negligent. "Prince Cheng's Mansion has these two baby bumps, who dares to be negligent, that is, they want to die. If you change to someone else's house, you may also take the life of your subordinates as a life, not to mention killing one and a half in the prince's mansion, even ten or eight are nothing.

Prince Cheng was still not very relieved, dragged a little tired body to the two sons' house to see, saw the two of them blushing and falling asleep, the maid and the nurse were all guarding the side, and there was no slack, so she was relieved. came out and said, "Those tonics still have to be used." ”

Prince Cheng's two sons are piled up with tonics, and they don't need to be medicated every year about summer, and when the weather is a little cold, they have to be replenished immediately. The nurses and maids are all cooked, and they have already done it without being told.

Prince Cheng asked around, and until there was nothing more to ask, she sighed and said: "You all do your best, and when your brother is well, you will be rewarded." She didn't believe it, her son was older than the eldest princess, and if the eldest princess could raise it well, her son would definitely be able to raise it well! When the time comes, she must go to Princess Anjun and ask why she didn't give her this recipe!

Taohua naturally didn't know about these things in Prince Cheng's mansion, she fell asleep in the carriage, and when she entered the county king's mansion, she saw a few more familiar figures among the people who came out to greet her: "Mama? ”

Mama Zheng's face smiled like a flower: "Princess." As soon as she returned, she was overjoyed to hear that the princess was pregnant. To say that although the princess is as skilled as a god, she has never given birth herself, and these girls around her are also ignorant of personnel, where can they serve well. Luckily, she's back, and it's just in handy.

Taohua is also very happy that Mama Zheng is back. Although I know a lot about pregnant women, when it is my turn, there is always an experienced person by my side who is more at ease: "Dieyi is also back?" ”

Dieyi is darker and thinner than before, but her complexion is very good, and her face is red when she hears this: "The slave and maid came back to serve the princess." ”

Come back, come back, blush what? Taohua was puzzled in her heart, and the bellflower next to her laughed, laughing so much that Dieyi kept plucking her eyes.

Taohua knew in her heart that there must be something strange, but seeing that Dieyi's face was even redder, she didn't ask anymore, and only asked a few words about the situation on the road and sent her to rest, and she was urged by Mama Zheng to rest. When I got to the house and sat down, I asked about Dieyi while removing my hair, and Mama Zheng couldn't help laughing: "Imperial Doctor Gu didn't go back after leaving the northwest......

"Gu Cong?" Taohua was a little surprised: "The two of them ......"

Mama Zheng said with a smile: "Imperial Doctor Gu is alone in the northwest, and the clothes, shoes and feet are all taken care of by the girl in the butterfly clothes. ”

Taohua also smiled: "This is a good thing. "Dieyi is straightforward, Gu Cong is meticulous, but it is also suitable. And Gu Cong still wants to go to the northwest to do the ambulance team after the pox, and Dieyi is the backbone of the ambulance team, so it is a natural pair.

Mama Zheng waited for her to finish laughing, and then she straightened her expression and said: "The old slave has something to tell the princess, and now that the princess is pregnant, she should also share a room with the princess to rest." "When she came back, she heard that the prince and the princess haven't separated yet, this, this is a bit ...... Young people are strong-blooded, what if they can't help but hurt the fetus?

Taohua's face suddenly turned red: "Mama-" At this time, she realized that there was only one quilt left on the bed in the room.

"The old slave overstepped and laid out for the prince in the wing." Mama Zheng didn't dare to say that she drove Shen Shu too far.

Taohua coughed dryly, looked at Mama Zheng's face and was embarrassed to say anything, and lay down under the service of others.

I originally felt sleepy, but now I lay down on the bed but I couldn't sleep, and I tossed and turned for a while, when I suddenly heard a soft knock on the window, and a figure swished in.

Taohua was startled, and as soon as she was halfway up, she saw the figure turn around and close the window, and the silhouette was reflected in the moonlight that penetrated the window paper, but it was very familiar, it was Shen Shu, so he breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "What are you doing!" ”

Shen Shu closed the window lightly, reflexively touched the bed, and whispered, "Why haven't you stopped?" ”

"Somehow, I just can't sleep." Taohua couldn't help but want to laugh, "You're - if you are found out by Mama Zheng......"

Shen Shu smiled: "If she finds out, this king's martial arts for more than ten years have been learned in vain." Squeezed into the quilt and stretched out his hand to hug Taohua, "The weather is getting cooler, and the princess is afraid that it will be cold when she sleeps alone, so this king specially came to warm the princess's bed." ”

Taohua sneered and laughed, afraid that the people outside would hear it, so she hurriedly held back, reached out and pinched Shen Shu's waist: "Where did you learn the tone, so that my aunt will not beat you when she hears it!" ”

Somehow, as soon as the familiar body temperature came up, Taohua suddenly felt sleepy like a tide, and after saying this, she didn't even hear Shen Shu's answer clearly, and fell asleep in seconds......
