Back in Qifeng Palace, Leng Yexuan waved off all the maids and maids in the palace, and ordered people to close the doors and windows of the dormitory, and then walked to the bed.

"Brother Xuan." Xia Nishang heard the question quietly, so she quietly opened her eyes and winked at Leng Yexuan.

"You're going to be scared to death." Leng Yexuan saw that she was fine, so he breathed a faint sigh of relief. "The Queen Mother embarrassed you?"

"Brother Xuan." Xia Nishang glanced at him shyly and slapped him lightly. "The concubine is fine, the queen mother just wants to give the concubine a gift."

"The Queen Mother also said that she was giving you something, what is it that makes you pretend to be dizzy and have abdominal pain?" Leng Yexuan joked that he was also curious about what it was.

"It's not a good thing." Xia Nishang frowned. "It's just the three-tailed lotus jade phoenix hairpin worn by the hairpin when the virtuous concubine was the concubine."

Xia Nishang's tone was soft, as if she didn't care, but she just listened to Leng Yexuan's ears, but it wasn't like that.

Concubine Xian, it is Su Qinhan, why she was beaten into the cold palace, others don't know, the emperor, the queen and the queen mother know it clearly.

That incident was the biggest pain in Leng Yexuan's heart, and the people she did were shameless. made Leng Yexuan lose face again, how could he not be angry.

Moreover, when the concubine was sealed, he couldn't help but think of Leng Yexuan that Su Qinhan was a concubine with Murong Yining. The three-tailed lotus jade phoenix hairpin is not something that can be worn by a concubine.

"Bang." With a bang, Leng Yexuan waved away the cup on the small table next to him, and he was annoyed.

"Your Majesty, what is this for?" Xia Nishang was startled, and hurriedly took Leng Yexuan's hand, looking worried. "Is it that the concubine said something wrong, the emperor should not blame."

"Silly girl." Leng Yexuan saw that she was obviously uncomfortable, but she was still afraid that he would be angry, and she looked cautious, which made Leng Yexuan even more distressed.

"Brother Xuan, the concubine is fine." Xia Nishang leaned on Leng Yexuan's shoulder, with a faint smile on the corner of her lips, but in that smile, it was full of mockery. I don't know, who is Xia Nishang laughing at?

"In the future, if the Queen Mother asks someone to pass on you, you will say that you are unwell." Leng Yexuan sat up, no matter what, after all, it was the queen mother, and she couldn't do too much, so as not to be accused of being unfilial.

"Yes, don't worry, the emperor can rest assured, the concubines know." Xia Nishang said with a chuckle.

I don't know if Leng Yexuan said it, or what, since that day, the Queen Mother has never let people come to Xia Nishang for trouble, nor has she made too many difficulties.

The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was July.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Xia Nishang's belly is getting bigger and bigger, the whole person is swollen several times, and the abdomen is more like a ball, which is particularly terrifying.

"Niangniang, drink some porridge." The due date is getting closer and closer, and this child usually doesn't seem to be very noisy, but this month is approaching, but it is starting to feel uncomfortable.

In the past few days, I can't eat or sleep well, my face is a little yellow, and it looks very bad.

"Erlan, this palace is fine." Xia Nishang looked at the small plate of porridge, but still shook her head.

"Mother." Er Lan held the plate, looking like he hated iron but not steel. "Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the little prince in your belly."

"But Hongu just doesn't want to eat it."

Xia Nishang's voice was a little weak, shallow, as if she couldn't breathe.

"Niangniang, you haven't eaten for a day, why don't you let the slave maid make some good snacks?" Er Lan said tentatively.

Maybe it's because of the hot and dry weather, so Xia Nishang doesn't have much appetite and doesn't want to eat.

"Hongu." Xia Nishang glanced at Er Lan a little playfully, her face was a little red, and she whispered. "Hongu wants to eat that sour orange."

Er Lan was stunned for a moment. It's a hot summer, and the orange is a fruit that is also available in winter, so where can I get it now?

"Wait, the slave and maid will order someone to find it."

Rao was like this, Er Lan still bit his lip and agreed.

Xia Nishang, who stayed in the hall, fantasized about the sour orange with a satisfied face.

Er Lan, who walked out, couldn't help but make a bitter face, looking at Ran Tian at the door, and was even more irritable.

"What's going on?" Ran Tian looked at her puzzled. "But the mother is in a bad mood and said you?"

"Sister Ran Tian, Niangniang has to eat that orange, how can this be good?" Er Lan had a sad face, if there are oranges in the palace now, they are also leftover from previous years, I don't know if they can be eaten.

"Eating oranges?" Ran Tian frowned when he heard this. Since the queen mother became pregnant, she often wanted to eat something strange. "I'll take a look and see if I can get some."

After Ran Tian left, Er Lan sat for a while before returning to the dormitory, and saw Xia Nishang reading a book on the chaise longue by the window, so she stood lightly on one side.

Ran Tian came back after a while, holding four or five green, round things in his hands.

"Mother, the slave brought you oranges."

As soon as these words came out, Xia Nishang, who was originally crooked in the lazy place, suddenly got up, and looked at the things in Ran Tian's arms, and was even more smiling.

"Hurry up, bring it to Hongu."

Xia Nishang looked eager, and stretched out her hand to reach her. Ran Tian was startled, and hurriedly put all the oranges on the table.

"This is planted by an aunt in the imperial dining room, and most of them are not ripe, just a few." Dye Tian put it while explaining the origin of the orange. "However, the aunt said that this orange is extremely sour, and the mother should not eat too much."

Xia Nishang only cared about picking the orange, how could she have time to listen to her, she just waved her hand casually.

When the orange is opened, the yellow-orange orange flesh inside is revealed, and there are white oranges on top, which is very beautiful. It's just that just smelling it, there is a strong sourness rushing into the nose, how can you eat it.

Xia Nishang didn't care about this, she opened it and put it into her red lips. As soon as I took my mouth, the thick juice was left out. It's really sour, Xia Nishang feels a little speechless. But I still like to eat it very much, so I hurriedly put another import.

Seeing Xia Nishang eat an orange with a satisfied face, the expressions of Ran Tian and Er Lan can be described as surprised.

Just watching her eat, the two of them felt so sour that their teeth were about to fall, let alone put them in their mouths.

Xia Nishang ate two in a row before stopping, and glanced at the three remaining oranges on the table with a melancholy face, bit her lip, and sighed childishly.

"Niangniang, are you okay?" Ran Tian and Er Lan on the side glanced at each other, and then slowly asked.

"Okay, very." When Xia Nishang heard the voice, she raised her head to look at them, her eyes were bright and very good-looking. "Bengong is a little hungry, Er Lan, you go and get some porridge."

Er Lan was stunned for a moment, looked at Ran Tian beside her, and saw her nodding, so she responded with a smile, and hurriedly ran out to prepare food for Xia Nishang.

Erlan quickly came up with a large mahogany tray.

There is a small bowl of bird's nest japonica rice porridge on top, served in a sweet milky white porcelain painted butterfly bowl, next to two or three plates of pastry side dishes. There are shrimp dumplings, hibiscus cake, pickled crispy radish. It's all Xia Nishang's favorite thing to eat on weekdays, and it's sweet and sour.

Maybe it's because Xia Nishang, who has just eaten oranges and has an appetizer, and hasn't eaten much in the past few days, actually ate porridge for most of the night, and ate three shrimp dumplings and a hibiscus cake, so she can stop.

Ran Tian and Er Lan on the side were a little worried, they hadn't eaten much for a day, and suddenly they ate so much again, they were afraid that they would not be able to restrain themselves. In addition, the imperial doctor said that the delivery is just a few days away, so you have to move around a lot.

No, just after dinner, Ran Tian and Er Lan just pulled Xia Ni clothes and had to take her to the backyard for a walk.

The backyard of Qifeng Palace is very large, planted with trees that Xia Nishang doesn't know, and walking there, the breeze blows, and it is also a little cool.

Xia Nishang held Ran Tian with one hand and her waist with the other, and walked forward slowly.

A few days ago, there was nothing to do, Xia Nishang asked people to put a bench in the middle of the courtyard, and now the grass and trees are luxuriant, just go over to sit.

After walking over, I saw that the bench was surrounded by flowers, which was quite a fairyland, Xia Nishang liked it very much, so she asked Ran Tian to help her go over to take a look.

Even though it's summer, it's still a little cool at night when you look around at the trees. Er Lan on the side saw Xia Nishang sitting down, so he hurriedly put on the light purple robe embroidered with goose yellow flowers on her hand to her, so as not to catch a cold.

Such days are very comfortable, although occasionally there will be some fatal collisions, but it is also like the moth that puts out the fire, it is useless after all.

Xia Nishang half-squinted her eyes and felt the breeze next to her, as if they were all carrying the fragrance of flowers and plants, which was very pleasant.

After sitting for a while, seeing that the sky was already a little dark, Ran Tian and Er Lan helped Xia Nishang back to the dormitory.

"The main palace is sitting and reading, you guys go and get busy."

The sheep's horn palace lamp lit early in the hall was bright and shining, shining like daytime. Xia Nishang leaned on the chaise longue with her stomach, picked up the book of poetry on the table, and looked at it quietly.

Ran Tian and Er Lan stood for a moment, and saw that she didn't have any orders, so they prepared refreshments and retreated lightly.

Xia Nishang is moving, and it's almost time. After Ran Tian and Er Lan ordered those little palace maids, they stood outside the dormitory in case something happened to Xia Nishang.

Night is gradually falling, the stars are blinking in the sky, and everything is so harmonious.

Suddenly, there was a small cracking sound in the dormitory, and then a cup fell to the floor.

Ran Tian glanced at Er Lan in shock, and the two of them couldn't care about it, so they rushed in.

I saw Xia Nishang in the room tightly grasping the edge of the yellow rosewood table, sweating profusely, and her fingers burst out with faint bruises because of the force.

"Go and pass on the Imperial Doctor."

Xia Nishang said this sentence forcefully, but she couldn't open her mouth anymore because of the pain.
