Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet, Taohua actually didn't want to go.

In the entire harem, all she wanted to see was Lu Ying, and even the Jiang sisters didn't want to see it, let alone other concubines. And in addition to the harem concubines, there are also two families, Prince Cheng and the Lord of Nanhua.

Needless to say, Prince Cheng's family has to talk about avoiding acne when they meet, and the sticky ones are not broken. The lord of Nanhua County didn't have anything good to say when he saw it, not to mention that Taohua always felt sleepy these days, and he really didn't have the energy to deal with these people.

But although I don't want to go, I still have to go, fortunately, because the moon palace banquet is at night, Taohua slept until noon before getting up, and began to change clothes with some porridge and side dishes.

"The princess doesn't need it anymore?" Mint looked at the food on the table, a little worried, "The banquet in the palace ......"

The palace banquet has always been good-looking, but it is not delicious to eat. Especially now that it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is cold, and many dishes are already half-cold when they are served at the banquet in the evening, and there is not much to eat. What's more, Taohua is a little picky now, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat anything by then.

Indeed, Taohua's current food taste has suddenly become tricky, even if she has not invited the imperial doctor to diagnose the pulse, the maids who are waiting for her also believe that the princess must be pregnant, and a few of them also swear to give examples, saying that their mothers or aunts and aunts will also have sudden tastes when they are pregnant, and some are even indescribably strange.

The most terrifying thing is that a little maid said that when her mother was pregnant with her younger brother, she went to the bean field to find bean worms to roast and eat. The maids who were not from peasant families had distorted faces when they heard this, and they couldn't eat well for several days.

Taohua laughed out loud when she heard this. Insects are rich in protein, and peasant women have less meat and more vegetarian food, so it is actually good to supplement some protein when pregnant. It's something like a bean worm, it does sound a little scary, no wonder the maids can't eat, and they can't eat it when they change Taohua.

"Bring some snacks." Taohua has suddenly loved desserts recently, and the rose cake and begonia cake used to be too sweet, but now I like it, and I want to eat a few pieces every day.

Pinching her waist, Taohua felt that she should limit her diet. Although pregnant women's diet can be appropriately relaxed, eating too many sweets is not good after all. Especially during this time, she is sleepy and doesn't like to move, if this fat grows quickly, it will be hard to lose it.

"It's better to ask the kitchen to make the dim sum less sweet, just put more dates." It not only tastes but also nourishes blood.

Shen Shu came in from outside, and when he heard the words, he said, "Since you like to eat, what is it that is slightly sweeter?" Presumably, it's not that you want to eat, it's the child in your belly who wants to eat. My aunt used to say that if a woman's taste changes when she is pregnant, the child in her womb loves to eat these. ”

What a strange theory. Taohua couldn't help but laugh: "You know a lot......" I want to come to the northwest to have a more open atmosphere, and there is nothing to scruple about when a woman is pregnant, Shen Shu also listened to it.

"It's not good to eat too many sweets." Momoka turned the subject away and asked, "Have you eaten?" In the past few days, she wanted to vomit when she smelled the food, so that Shen Shu had to go to the front to eat alone, and she had to wash up before she could go back to the room.

"I've eaten it." Shen Shu looked at Taohua's face, a little worried, "It's not a way to always think about eating and drinking, isn't there any medicine to take?" ”

"How can this be used for medicine, it's all a normal reaction." Taohua touched her face, "It's about three months past the first three months." "Pregnancy reactions are generally severe in the first trimester, and she just came early, so she had to suffer more. In fact, it's nothing, she's seen that she doesn't want to eat anything, and vomits when she drinks water, which is much more serious than her.

"Then it's going to take nearly two months......" Shen Shu was worried, "This kid, tossing you like this in his stomach is definitely not a worry-free one." ”

Taohua couldn't help laughing: "How do you know it's a kid, maybe it's a girl." ”

"How can a girl be so tormented." Shen Shu said disdainfully, "The girls are very well-behaved. ”

Taohua couldn't stop laughing: "Who said this?" Not to mention anything else, can the two girls of the Cui family be well-behaved or not? ”

Shen Shu was speechless, and said stupidly: "Tell me what they do!" You are pregnant, and you should say something rejoicing. ”

Taohua couldn't stop laughing: "Isn't this quite joyful?" Besides, when I enter the palace today, there is that unhappy thing. "The emperor has sent a message from the palace, and the queen has picked two so-called well-born palace maids, just waiting to be stuffed for her today.

Shen Shu sneered: "I think she's crazy." He was a little worried, "Can you diagnose your pulse today?" ”

"I want to come to the hospital so that I have a lot of experience and can diagnose it." Taohua was a little lazy again, leaning her head on him, "However, if I am pregnant, I am afraid that they will be even more strong." ”

The wife is pregnant and can't have intercourse, which is simply a good reason for people to come in, which is justified and irrefutable. Not to mention the queen mother and the queen, even the emperor may not think so in his heart.

Shen Shu snorted: "I've found someone, and now it's not appropriate to mess with anyone in the family, otherwise I'm afraid I'll have to beat this child." ”

Taohua sneered and laughed again: "Who are you looking for?" "I can think of such an excuse.

Shen Shu smiled: "The abbot of Xingjiao Temple." "Xingjiao Temple is famous, and what the abbot said is naturally very credible.

Taohua was a little surprised: "The abbot of Xingjiao Temple? "If Shen Shu finds a Taoist from outside to list a monk or something, it is still possible to deceive him, the abbot of Xingjiao Temple can be regarded as a Taoist monk, how can he say this kind of nonsense?

Shen Shu smiled: "Last time I planted pox in Xingjiao Temple, the abbot praised you a lot. He didn't have much friendship with the abbot of Xingjiao Temple, but the shopkeeper of Chunhuaxuan had been in the capital for decades, and every year he had to put some paper and pen in the temple for the monks to copy the scriptures, and he was naturally acquainted with the abbot. And because they are all good teas, they can be regarded as people in the same way, and they can say a few words.

This abbot is also an interesting person, although he is a monk, but he has a bit of a heart to enter the world. Originally, it was just that, only from the fact that Yu Rui killed the people in Shandong that year, the abbot was a little dissatisfied with his family, and he also made a dojo in the temple in private, surpassing the souls of those who died unjustly.

Yu killed the people at home, but Taohua saved people by avoiding pox, and the two contrasted and made a judgment. The abbot is a person outside the square, so it is difficult to say anything, but Shen Shu only handed over a word through the shopkeeper of Chunhuaxuan, and he took this meaning and clearly gave the hexagram: Taohua's fetus is taboo to see many yin people in the house.

"Don't see a lot of yin people in the house......" Taohua read this again, and couldn't help but laugh again. Yin people, generally refer to women, avoid seeing more yin people in the house, isn't it just saying don't add women to the county king's mansion?

"This abbot is ......" is really interesting.

Shen Shu had a serious face: "Abbot Yuanzhi is proficient in plum blossom easy counting, although he rarely divides people, but every hexagram must be accurate." ”

"I'm relieved." Momoka pursed her lips and glanced at him with a smile. What kind of morning sickness is nothing, what else does Shen Shuken ask for for her so much? Not to mention facing the two palace people, even if the queen calls out all the palace people in the harem, she has nothing to fear.

The Mid-Autumn Festival in the capital has always had the custom of watching lanterns, not to mention the good days this year, first the children in the capital have been planted with pox, and then they are not afraid of smallpox poison, and then the little prince was born, so it is only in the afternoon, and the street begins to hang out all kinds of lanterns. Even those who set up stalls to sell things also hang a small home-made lantern on the head of the picker, although the appearance is simple, it is more interesting.

The carriage of the Anjun Palace, passing through the middle of the street, Taohua lifted the curtain to see the excitement on the street, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful: "It's a pity that the time is ......" will be spent on the boring palace banquet, if there is this time to come out and see how good the lights are.

Shen Shu smiled, held her hand and pulled her back: "If you want to see the lights, you will have to wait for next year." "At this time, there is still a child in the belly, so you can't go to the street to squeeze it.

Taohua sighed: "Sometimes I think about it, the capital is not as comfortable as the northwest. "Although the northwest has to fight all the time, she can do what she wants, and so can Shen Shu. However, the capital ...... Don't talk about it.

"It's going to be fine." Shen Shu put her hand in his hand and whispered. In the dim light in the carriage, Taohua felt that his eyes were shining.

"I don't know when my dad will come back...... "Every time I miss my relatives during the festive season, on the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, Taohua can't help but think of Jiang Xi who is far away.

"As long as my father-in-law receives our letter, he will definitely come back immediately." Shen Shu said, looking at Taohua's lower abdomen. If Jiang Xi knew that his daughter was pregnant, he was afraid that he would like to grow a pair of wings and fly back.

Taohua pouted: "That's not necessarily, Daddy may have forgotten about me and Brother Bai'er." "Jiang Xi recently wrote that he was studying medicinal herbs in the northeast and started Langzhong. Although his medical skills are not outstanding, he is more than enough to cure some minor ailments for the people in the fields. Now he is carrying the medicine box left by Jiang Fanghui at the beginning, and he is in full swing, and the whole letter only writes how to treat the disease, and he doesn't even ask Taohua and Jiang Bohua, which shows that he is really happy.

"Father-in-law is just reassuring you, knowing that it will be fine." Shen Shu couldn't help laughing. Jiang Xi was a relatively careless person, and he was so happy when he wrote the letter that he forgot about a pair of children for a while. However, it is rare for Taohua to be such a little daughter, and she feels very cute in Shen Shu's eyes.

Momokahara's is just a sentence. Somehow, her temperament has indeed changed a little since she became pregnant, and sometimes even she feels a little surprised, and what she wouldn't say in the past will blurt out at this time. After finishing talking at this time, I felt a little embarrassed, so I changed the topic and said, "I don't know if Bai Guo has been following Daddy." ”

Regarding this matter, Jiang Xi's letter did not mention it, but he also did not mention whether there was any inconvenience in his daily life, so Taohua felt that Bai Guo was mostly by his side.

"There should be such a person by my father-in-law's side." As soon as Shen Shu said a word, he saw that Taohua's eyes were a little unkind, and he seemed to think of something else, so he hurriedly added, "At least take care of your father-in-law's daily life, right?" My father-in-law is not as cared for by the princess as I am, and he doesn't even have a person who knows cold and hot, which is really pitiful. ”

Speaking of which, he really didn't have a good impression of Cao. A woman, it's just that she doesn't have the ability outside, at least the affairs of the back house must be sorted out. If you really can't figure it out, you can take care of your husband's food, clothing, housing and transportation, which is also qualified, how can there be a mess like Cao's? Seeing that she was all focused on Chen Yan, but what about Chen Yan now? There are really only eight words to describe such people: insufficient success, more than failure.

Momoka couldn't help but sigh softly. Concubines are the source of chaos, but like the Cao family, if there is no concubine, this family will be in chaos, and it can't really be that Jiang Xi will not even have a confidant in the future, he is only in his early forties this year, and there are still decades to live.

"Let my father-in-law decide for himself." Shen Shu saw that Taohua was a little depressed, and hurriedly comforted, "You should not meddle in this matter." "No matter how much Jiang Xi dotes on his daughter, no one who is a daughter goes to her father's room.

Seeing that the carriage had arrived at the palace gate, Taohua had no choice but to put this matter aside, straighten her clothes and sideburns, and prepare to enter the palace.

The Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet is still held in the Penglai Palace, although it is a little cooler, but because there is water in front of the palace, it is the most beneficial to view the moon. When the moon reaches the middle of the sky, the reflection pool is really a silver wave, like a fairyland. At this moment, the residual lotus in the water has been removed, and various palace lamps have been hung on the edge of the pool, which have been lit and extended into the distance, like two ribbons, holding a pool of clear water in your arms.

The hall is full of flowers, and the concubines are all out of a hundred treasures, and at a glance they are all surrounded by flowers and moons, and their eyes are going to be swaying. As soon as Taohua entered, she saw the Queen Mother and the Queen sitting in the middle, next to the Lord of Nanhua, laughing. Prince Cheng and Princess Cheng sat with Yu Zhaorong, looking as if they were quite affectionate.

"Why did my brother and sister come at this time?" Prince Cheng saw Taohua first, and said with a slight smile. Although the smile is kind, the words are not very kind.

Taohua also smiled at her, but didn't answer her words, and went directly to salute the Queen Mother and the Queen.

The queen was happy as long as she heard that someone was looking for trouble with Taohua, so she also laughed and said, "But what is the delay in the house?" ”

Taohua smiled slightly: "It's a pox where there are some miscellaneous things." If you deal with it earlier, you can do it earlier. Seeing that the sky is cold, if it is really a cold winter, it is not good to get pox. ”

The queen choked suddenly. Taohua is a person who has errands in the court, and a major event like pox is more important than the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet? I guess everyone knows how to choose.

Prince Cheng and Princess Cheng also suffocated. These days, she asked Yu Zhaorong for the recuperation method that Taohua prescribed to the eldest princess, and she also took it back for her two sons to try it out. Seeing that the two sons seemed to be more lively, while being happy, I couldn't help but feel sorry for Taohua - why did this method give to the eldest princess, but not to her two sons? Sure enough, the emperor needs to curry favor, and she doesn't look at a person like Prince Cheng?

Because of this bit of resentment, she opened her mouth a little impulsively when she saw Taohua come in. But as soon as the words came out, she regretted a little - there are so many people in the palace, why did she bother to be this bird?

In fact, when this was said, Taohua ignored it, although Prince Yu Cheng was a little embarrassed, but she was happy not to make this matter known to everyone. Who knew that the queen had good ears, so she heard it, and then asked, now she really can't let everyone hear it.

At this time, Taohua brought out the pox to speak, not only choking the queen without anything to say, but also seemed that what she said just now was unreasonable. Prince Cheng only felt that everyone's eyes fell on her, and her face suddenly became a little hot. Although she is pampered in Prince Cheng's mansion, she has stayed at home for many years, and rarely deals with outsiders.

It was still the Queen Mother who coughed lightly and said: "The matter of the pox, you can leave it to the people below to do it." Then Imperial Doctor Gu heard that you also taught him, and now they all say that he has done a good job. and Jiang Langzhong, that's your uncle, I can rest assured if I think about it. Let them share the burden for you, and don't put it all on your shoulders. ”

I can't find anything wrong with these words, it sounds like there is some love of the elders, and even Taohua has to admire that the queen mother and the queen are not the same level at all, looking at this speech, there is a level.

"That's what the Queen Mother said." Since the queen mother played a round, Taohua didn't want to make trouble, so she agreed kindly, sat down in her seat, and smiled at the few high-ranking concubines next to her.

The queen was a little angry in her heart, but the queen mother had already settled the matter, and she couldn't say anything more. What's more, she felt that she had prepared a big "surprise" for Taohua today, and she would definitely hit it with one blow - of course, it was far better to have two palace people in than to set up a side concubine, but it was better than nothing - so she didn't fight for the speed of this time, and turned her head to the confidant palace people and ordered: "Go and see if the emperor is here, it's almost time for a banquet." ”

As he was talking, there was a gentle high-five outside, and the emperor took Prince Cheng and Shen Shu, followed by Jiang Heng, walked all the way into the hall, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, Heng'er has come to greet you." ”

The Queen Mother really liked Jiang Heng, and suddenly smiled: "I just asked why your mother didn't take you into the palace, it turned out that you went to the emperor's side - come and tell me to take a look, this time flies really fast, and in a blink of an eye, he is also a person who is going to get married." I think when your mother first took you into the palace, she was only a little older, and she was not as tall as the eldest princess......"

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, the lord of Nanhua was supposed to spend the festival in Jiangfu, but she recently had a quarrel with Jiangjun Ma, held her breath, and simply ran to the palace and brought Jiang Heng over. In fact, according to her meaning, she can't wait to bring Jiang Wu and his wife to bring it, and ask Jiang Junma to go alone at home for the holidays. It's a pity that Jiang Wu has rarely entered the palace since he was a child, and there are the emperor's concubines here tonight, so he really doesn't look like it - it's not as used to Jiang Heng entering the palace, even if it's a bit out of line, no one will care too much about it.

Jiang Heng listened to the Queen Mother's words, and glanced at the red figure over there from the corner of his eye.

Although they are in the same capital, they have not seen each other for a long time. When I saw it today, the person's face had not changed much from when he was in Wuxi, but there was a little more lazy meaning between his eyebrows, and he was more amorous. After all, it's different......

The lord of Nanhua was angry and took Jiang Heng into the palace, and when he entered the palace gate, he remembered that Taohua was going to enter the palace today, and he immediately regretted it. However, everyone came in and couldn't go out again, so he had to send his son to the emperor first, so as not to get the harem and Taohua too early.

As a result, Taohua came late, so she came in, and the emperor came with someone. The eyes of the county lord of Nanhua immediately stared at his son, and sure enough, when he saw Jiang Heng bowing down to listen to the words of the queen mother, his eyes glanced at Taohua, and suddenly his heart hung up.

The Jiang family and the Jinghai Marquis Mansion have completed the six ceremonies, and the wedding date is scheduled for after the spring of next year. The emperor is ready to open Enke next year, if everything goes well, Jiang Heng will be admitted to the examination after getting married, it will be a wish. At this time, the Lord of Nanhua didn't want anything to go wrong.

The Lord of Nanhua thought in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but move towards Taohua. At a glance, he saw that Taohua didn't look over here at all, and only whispered to Shen Shu.

That's why the human psyche is so strange. If Taohua also paid attention to Jiang Heng, the county lord of Nanhua would be worried, but Taohua didn't pay attention to it, and the county lord of Nanhua was not angry. Even if she thinks that her son is good, she has to admit that from beginning to end, Jiang Heng is shaving his head and picking his head, and Jiang's medical girl looks indifferent.

The county lord of Nanhua resolutely believed that the Jiang family must have seduced Jiang Heng in private, or at least coquettishly, otherwise she would not believe that her son would fall in love with a medical girl. However, there is no evidence for this, Taohua just went to the Jiang family to diagnose the pulse, and she has never had any eyebrow lawsuits with Jiang Heng, which is something that the county lord of Nanhua has to admit.

All kinds of moods were mixed together, which made the lord of Nanhua himself confused, and he only knew that it was not pleasing to the eye when he looked at Taohua. At this time, seeing her whispering to Shen Shu, looking like a husband and wife, I felt even more unpleasant, and blurted out: "King Anjun has been married for a year, why is there still no happy news now?" The Queen Mother has been concerned about this matter, and she just talked to us about it. ”

Taohua squinted at Shen Shu. The two of them had already prepared today, but they didn't expect that it was the Nanhua County Lord who provoked the incident first, which was unexpected. However, the soldiers came to block it, and Shen Shu only smiled: "Thank you for your care." ”

The queen was preparing to make a move, and now the lord of Nanhua County mentioned this matter first, and it was in her arms, and she immediately said: "The king of Anjun is not young, and the affairs of the heirs should also be taken care of, otherwise the first emperor will have to worry about the spirit of the sky." Princess Anjun, don't you say? ”
