In the deep palace

I don't know if it's because of pregnancy or because of other reasons, Qiu's seems to have changed a person for a while. Not only does he look haggard, his eyes and face are slightly puffy, and his expression is very different from before. Although there is still a seriousness between his eyebrows and eyes, his speech is not as domineering as before.

The palace people of Shuiyue Palace were not used to her such a silent and low-key appearance in the first few days, they were all uneasy and cautious, and they all said that pregnant women had the biggest temper, and Concubine Xian was picky and strict before, but now that she is pregnant, I am afraid that her temper will only increase. But who knew that today's concubine Xian not only has less time to lose her temper, but also speaks better than before, and she doesn't punish the palace people at every turn.

This change of the Qiu family, the palace people are naturally happy to see it, and they all feel that it is the good luck brought to them by the little prince in her belly.

But for Qiu herself, now she has no extra mind to care what others think, and she is now thinking about the whole child in her belly every day. It's a pity that the emperor seems to have seen through her thoughts, not only can she not leave the palace, but the emperor also sent someone to her Shuiyue Palace, telling others that they are here to serve her, but in fact they are here to monitor her and get rid of the child in her belly.

It is also her current identity that is protecting her, so that the emperor does not dare to blatantly take away her child, but several times, she found that the grandmother sent to serve her was doing her hands and feet in her decoction, she knew that the emperor had lost his patience, and saw that she had not acted for a long time, so she began to act.

These days she was under house arrest in disguise in the palace, she couldn't eat or sleep, and she stayed open until dawn for many nights. can't get out of the palace, she can't contact Sheng Ziyang at all, and now she is isolated, not to mention that she is not familiar with the other concubines in the palace, even if she is familiar, people wish she didn't have this 'dragon species' in her stomach. So it is naturally impossible for her to ask for help from other concubines.

She wants to keep this child, but she can't let him stay at all, there is no way out of the palace, and she has to accept this fact even if she doesn't want to accept it - her child will definitely not be able to keep it!

She also thought about going over and begging the emperor to let her take the child away from the country, for the sake of her taking care of King Cheng for so many years, she knew that the emperor would definitely agree to her request.

However, if she really leaves, then her future ......

No identity, no status, and having to carry a child, she denied it almost every time she imagined it. More than twenty years ago, since she had made up her mind to do something like that, she didn't want to go any other way. She just wants to go on this road of wealth and glory......

Touching the beauty couch made by the fox fur, Qiu's haggard eyes suddenly became shining, but even if her spirit regained her brightness, it was full of gloomy light.

How could her life be changed because of an unborn child? Although she has not been able to be established as the queen by Xia Gao now, with her status as a virtuous concubine and such a 'son' as King Cheng, even the current queen has to give her some face when she sees her.

Such glory and dignity, if she wants to give it up like this, how can she give it up? She paid so much and ended up being a bamboo basket for water, how could she be willing?!

She can not have a child, anyway, Sheng Ziyang doesn't know that she is pregnant with his child now. Then she has nothing to think about, since she has decided, she will do it!

It's just that if she wants to lose this child, she has to find someone to back her back!

Therefore, she called the woman from the Bai family to the palace......

……

The carriage of the Chengwang Mansion went all the way to the palace gate, and after Bai Xinran explained that the coachman was waiting at the palace gate, he entered the palace gate with the blood shadow.

Originally, she planned to find her own man first and go to see the Qiu family together, but when she inquired, someone in the palace said that King Cheng had left the palace a quarter of an hour ago.

Such a miss, Bai Xinran was speechless, and he was also very helpless, so he had no choice but to take the blood shadow to the Shuiyue Palace, where the Qiu family lived-

This palatial palace, the number of times the white heart is dyed is not much, as the 'daughter-in-law' of the virtuous concubine, it stands to reason that she should get the Shuiyue Palace every day to ask the virtuous concubine for peace, but Yan Moyu has long said to the outside world that she is sick all the year round and should not go out, so as not to bring the sickness on her body to the palace.

This time she came to Shuiyue Palace, it was the first time she was alone, if she didn't have a little hairy feeling in her heart, it must be fake. After all, this is someone else's territory, and since she got here, she has been in a passive state.

Fortunately, with the blood shadow behind her, she felt a lot less suffocation.

Inside the dormitory

When Bai Xinran looked at the somewhat 'deformed' Qiu family, he almost couldn't recognize it. In the past, Qiu's was in front of her, and it was an arrogant and domineering image of a wicked mother-in-law. Even if it was a moment of embarrassment, it was full of pride and confidence.

But at this moment, although the noble lady in front of her was still noble and dignified, her expression was completely different from before. It seems a little negative and defeated, just like an old hen who lost a game and was defeated, and even the taste of the whole person has changed a little. Especially the layer of dark green under the eyes, although it is covered with a lot of gouache, at a glance, it is still two panda eyes.

Looking at this scene, the corners of Bai Xinran's mouth twitched badly, but because there were palace people standing everywhere, she couldn't laugh out loud, so she could only bow her head and walk in front of Qiu to salute her.

"Dye Er meets her mother."

Seeing her coming, Qiu Shi showed a relieved and happy expression, and hurriedly greeted her: "Dye is here?" Get up quickly and come to Mother's side. ”

Then she instructed the palace maid next to her: "The princess is here, why don't you hurry up and show the princess a seat?" ”

Bai Xinran glanced around with a smile, then walked to Qiu's side, also sat down on the fur couch where Qiu's was sitting, and affectionately held Qiu's arm, and said with a gentle and lovely smile: "Mother doesn't have to bother so much, she is not an outsider, why be so polite?" If others see it, I'm afraid they will say that our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are unfamiliar. ”

Seeing her sitting with herself casually, a trace of disgust quickly flashed in Qiu's eyes. But when he looked up, the kindness on his face was envious of others.

"Dye'er has been feeling better lately? Yu'er said that you are not in good health, and I am afraid that you will bring your illness to your mother. He, what a fuss, his mother has always been very good, why should he be so careful? Besides, my mother misses dyeing so much, how can she have those cheesy exquisiteness? ”

Bai Xinran was silent in his heart. Well, she admits that this woman is indeed a master of acting. The trick of acting can make her get goosebumps all over her body, and she can't scratch her whole body.

showed a bright and happy smile: "Mother is right, everything is that the prince is too cautious, so that our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can't see each other for a long time, Dye Er wants to kill you, every night I can't sleep because I miss you too much, recently you are pregnant, and the prince will not let me come to the palace to see you, for fear that I will bring you some sickness on my body." Dye'er knows that her mother is pregnant and has a noble body, but because of this, Dye'er misses you even more, and she is afraid that you can't take care of yourself. So as soon as you summoned Dye'er into the palace, Dye'er hurriedly left. ”

After a pause, she looked at Qiu's face with a worried face, "I didn't expect to see my mother's complexion so bad today, Dye'er is so distressed." In the future, Dye'er must often go to the palace and accompany her mother more. ”

It's not just her Qiu who can disgust people, she can also be disgusting with her white heart!

Since she wants to pretend to be a loving mother, why can't she pretend to be a filial daughter-in-law?

There are many palace maids in the dormitory, looking at the happy and warm picture between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, everyone feels surprised and surprised. I didn't expect Concubine Xian to be so amiable and kind-eyed, but I didn't expect that the rumored monster Princess Cheng in everyone's mouth was so caring, filial and sensible......

Qiu's expression was a little stiff, making the smile on the corner of her mouth look a little awkward, but because her mood was too abnormal recently, coupled with her haggard expression, no one could see too much falsehood on her face.

Others can't understand it, but it doesn't mean that Bai Xinran can't understand it either. Capturing the darkness and disgust at the bottom of Qiu's eyes, she deliberately raised her voice in worry: "Mother, you look so haggard, isn't it too hard to get pregnant?" Or are they not taking good care of you? ”

Hearing this, the expressions of the palace people changed greatly. They dare to swear to the sky that there is absolutely no place for inadequate service. Concubine Xian has a dragon seed in her belly, even if they have ten lives, they don't dare to upset Concubine Xian!

Glancing around without a trace, Bai Xinran continued to frown and said with concern: "Mother, you have to take good care of your body, you must take good care of the child in your belly, we are still waiting for you to give us a white and chubby brother." ”

When these words came out, Bai Xinran felt disgusted herself, not to mention Qiu, others didn't know Bai Xinran's true temperament, didn't she know it?

But in front of others, it is difficult for her to expose Bai Xinran's hypocrisy. I had to laugh stiffly, forcing myself to show that I was very relieved and happy.

This scene of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law lasted until noon.

It's dinner time, and Bai Xinran naturally can't say leave.

Qiu asked the palace people to get a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and every bite was Bai Xindye's favorite food.

In this regard, Bai Xinran expressed deep disgust and admiration in his heart. She didn't even know what she liked to eat, and there was someone who knew her tastes better than her, so it seemed like they didn't have much time to eat together, right?

The loving mother-in-law, the gentle and lovely daughter-in-law, when Bai Xinran helped Qiu to the table, this warm and happy scene once again blinded the eyes of the rest.

Even the blood shadow that had been following behind Bai Xinran secretly twitched the corners of his mouth. Is the princess too deep in the play?

The food on the table is fragrant and greedy.

A palace maid stepped forward to distribute vegetables, Bai Xinran raised her hand to send her aside, picked up a delicate thin bowl and took the initiative to serve a bowl of soup for Qiu's family.

"Mother, now that you are rich, you must pay more attention to supplementing your nutrition—"

She was only halfway through her thoughtful and caring words, when she suddenly stopped, and frowned, looked at the cup of fresh soup on the table with complicated eyes, and was secretly shocked for a moment.

Saffron?

This soup actually smells of saffron!

Although she is not a Chinese medicine student, she is also a forensic doctor, and she has some understanding of some pharmacology.

Saffron may be a good thing for ordinary women, it is said that it can detoxify and nourish the skin, and discharge the toxins in the woman's uterus, but for pregnant people, this is a blind fetal medicine, because saffron has the effect of clearing the uterus, so it is very easy to discharge the fetus in the womb. Especially when the embryo has just implanted in the uterus.

In modern times, saffron is very expensive, she didn't have the spare money to buy it, that time a colleague went to Tibet to buy some saffron back, gave her a few small roots, she soaked in water and drank it once, and remembered the taste.

And she has always had a keen sense of smell, so she couldn't have smelled it wrong.

And just when Bai Xinran was surprised in his heart, Qiu suddenly stretched out his hand to take the thin bowl in Bai Xinran's hand, and said with a smile: "Dye'er, let the palace maid do these things, why do you do it?" Don't tire yourself up for your mother, otherwise Yu'er should feel distressed again. ”

Bai Xinran turned his head to look at her, and a trace of complexity flashed quickly in his eyes.

Seeing that Qiu Shi was about to put the fresh soup into her mouth with a spoon, her eyes suddenly tightened, and she quickly snatched the thin bowl in Qiu's hand-

"Dye'er, ...... you" Qiu's hand was empty, and he immediately looked at it puzzled.

Bai Xinran tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart, and immediately laughed: "Mother, this soup has just been served, you can't drink it too quickly, otherwise what if you get burned?" ”

After speaking, she didn't wait for Qiu's reaction, and suddenly turned her face to the palace maid on the side and shouted, "You people usually serve Concubine Xian like this? If you dare to put such a hot thing on the table, you are not afraid of burning the virtuous concubine? After finishing speaking, she looked at the blood shadow behind her and ordered, "Blood shadow, remove these hot soups and water, and you go and make another nutritious soup for Concubine Xian." ”

"Yes, Princess." Blood Shadow glanced at the things on the table with a deep gaze, and nodded at Bai Xinran in response.

Several palace maids on the side were frightened by Bai Xinran's scolding, and when they saw the blood shadow cleaning up the things on the table, they hurriedly came over to help clean up.

The food with the soup on the table was removed, and Bai Xinran sat next to Qiu Shi and looked at her very intimately: "Mother, your people here are really careless, how can you go on like this, you are now pregnant with a dragon son, everything should be more cautious than before." Hurry up Ming'er, I will go to my father's emperor and ask him for a few more people, preferably those who have served pregnant women and have experience, so that we can rest assured. ”

In my heart, Bai Xin was sick to death.

This hateful dead woman actually dares to secretly sin her!

It seems that she has made a choice and is planning to give up the child in her womb.

She didn't want children, she had to drag her in.

Today, she went to Shuiyue Palace as a guest, if something happened to her child, could she get out of it?

This dead woman, if she wants to die, she won't forget to pull someone on her back!

She thought she was smart, but she didn't know that their gang was acting with her. Don't say that she won't let her calculate herself, even if this dead woman succeeds in her calculation, the emperor will only secretly say that she is meritorious, and will never say that she is wrong.

Did she really think she was carrying a dragon seed in her belly?

Amusing!

Qiu's face changed and changed. Especially when he heard what Bai Xinran said, the hands in his sleeves couldn't help but clench and clench. But she couldn't get angry on her face, so she could only continue to laugh unnaturally: "Dye'er's sensible mother is deeply grateful." The people in this Water Moon Palace are already enough, and there is no need to add more people to come. Mother likes to be quiet lately, and she doesn't want too many people to dangle in front of her, but her mother understands her heart. ”

Bai Xinran sneered in his heart. You used to like to add to other people's mouths, but now my sister is really sorry for you if she doesn't send you a few people.

"Mother, don't say that, now that you're pregnant, you can't be sloppy at all. And you are like this now, I and the prince are not at ease at all, this matter, you don't have to worry about it, I will go back and discuss it with the prince, and then I will go to the emperor to ask a few reliable people to send to your palace, this is a piece of filial piety between me and the prince, you can't refuse. ”

Qiu's haggard face was even more pale and weak. There was a trace of anger in his eyes, but he didn't dare to let it out.

The emperor has already sent someone to spy on her, and this woman actually wants to stuff people ...... beside her. It's really to her!

Seeing her forbearance, Bai Xinran only felt funny. Then she was a little worried, she still didn't want to be overly angry, if this woman was angry with something, it would be up to her again.

Outside, her rumors have just passed, and if there is another rumor of 'unfilial piety', then she really has no way to live.

After the Blood Shadow brought some food to the table again, Bai Xinran accompanied the Qiu clan to finish their meal.

I wanted to leave the Water Moon Palace as soon as possible, lest the Qiu family have any more crooked ideas. As a result, Qiu suddenly said to her: "Ran'er finally entered the palace once, since she is here, let's stay in the palace for a while today." It's spring now, and a few days ago I saw that the scenery of the Imperial Garden was good, why don't you accompany your mother to the Imperial Garden for a walk, and by the way, eliminate food? ”

Hearing this, Bai Xinran secretly twisted his eyebrows. glanced at the palace people around him, and nodded with a smile: "Since my mother is going, then Dye Er should accompany her." ”

Dead woman, leaving so many palace maids by her side, it is clear that it is deliberate!

deliberately made her unable to turn her face.

Once she turns her face, her image is ruined. In this era, the daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law turned their faces, which was not a joke.

Holding back her anger, she accompanied Qiu Shi to the Imperial Garden slowly-

Today's weather is sunny, sunny and pleasant...... Bai Xin dyed a strong admiration. Otherwise, why would there be so many people coming to the Imperial Garden?

Concubine Jin came from the west with her niece Jin Ziya.

The former concubine Hui and now Empress Xiao came from the east with a strange woman who didn't look like a palace woman.

The tripartite people are followed by the palace people in their own palace.

Bai Xinran was speechless.

When the three parties came together, the salute was heard one after another.

Three noble maidens, among them, Queen Xiao wore the most solemn, wearing a phoenix robe and a xia veil, graceful and luxurious, and her image was particularly eye-catching.

In terms of appearance, Jin Guifei is the most beautiful.

Facing these two 'characteristic' characters, the Qiu family, who was a little haggard at the moment, was obviously more than a grade lower in his momentum.

"Sister Xianfei, but she is not feeling well, why is her complexion so bad?" The first to speak was Jin Guifei.

"Concubine Xian is pregnant now, it must be extremely hard." Empress Xiao also immediately agreed, but her face was more concerned than that of Concubine Jin.

Qiu's bones are already strong, and in front of two noble women, although they look a little haggard, their momentum is still not lost. Capturing the jealousy flashing in Jin Guifei's eyes, she raised her hand and stroked her lower abdomen, her waist was straight, and she said with a smile: "I didn't expect to be pregnant with a dragon at this age, I was tossed by this child recently, I can't eat well, and I can't sleep well." This child has not yet been born, and he is so tormented, I am worried that he will be a naughty mischievous person in the future. ”

Jin Guifei's smile was a little stiff.

The same is true for Empress Xiao.

Bai Xinran secretly twitched the corners of his mouth on the side. Is this Qiu Shuiyan addicted to acting? Isn't she just telling people how favored she is?

Looking at the Jin Guifei and Queen Xiao, although their performance is not obvious, they still can't hide their envy, jealousy and hatred.

"Sister Xian Concubine is working so hard, I will persuade the emperor to let him take the time to come to Shuiyue Palace to accompany you more, it is too lonely for you to stay alone in Shuiyue Palace with a child." Jin Guifei smiled with an understanding smile, looking very thoughtful for the Qiu family.

It's just that as soon as she said this, Qiu's face immediately turned white, and Queen Xiao pursed her thin lips lightly.

Everyone in the palace knows that the emperor rarely goes to Shuiyue Palace. What this means, everyone knows in their hearts. Some people even privately discussed that the child in Concubine Xian's womb was not the emperor's. But this is just a secret discussion in private, after all, the emperor did not deny this child.

Qiu quickly recovered his normal color, touched his belly again, and smiled indifferently: "Don't hide it from Concubine Jin and the queen's mother, the concubine has long known that she is pregnant and can't sleep, so she begged the emperor to come to Shuiyue Palace less." I don't want the emperor to be angry about this, so I really don't want to come to Shuiyue Palace. The concubines were also helpless and were thinking about how to please the emperor. I wonder if Concubine Jin and the queen can help the concubine come up with ideas? ”

As soon as she said this, Jin Guifei and Empress Xiao suddenly changed their faces again.

Behind Qiu's body, Bai Xinran only felt that he wanted to vomit.

This Qiu is simply pretending to be first-class, which has to be admired!

Can you be a little more shameless?!

Even the 'attendant' was brought out, and she said it in a good way, with a look of pride and intoxication, and even she couldn't help but wonder if the emperor had really slept with her.

If such a person is like this, the emperor can do it, she thinks, what she admires most is not the Qiu family, but the emperor who admires the most.

I don't know what the emperor will think when he hears the conversation between these women?

"Hey, how can Princess Cheng have time to enter the palace today?" It seemed that she couldn't get any benefits from the Qiu family, and Jin Guifei suddenly looked at Bai Xinran in surprise, as if she had just discovered her existence.

Bai Xinran thought about her, and by the way, she glanced at Jin Ziya, who was also staring at her with a cold face, and blessed Jin Guifei, and replied: "Mother is pregnant now, and the concubine is afraid that she will be bored, so she came to the palace to accompany her mother." "Look at how filial she is, isn't she?

Jin Guifei nodded, which was acceptable.

However, Empress Xiao said enviously to the Qiu family: "Concubine Xian's sister is really a blessing, not only does the king have both virtue and ability, and she is outstanding, but also has such a caring daughter-in-law of the princess, which really makes us envious." ”

As soon as he heard this, Bai Xinzhi had some long thorns all over his body. With her current image, others don't scold her for being a monster and pervert, just praise her, which shows how insincere this is. The most important thing is that she really doesn't like others to praise her family Moyu. always feels as if her family Moyu is always being remembered.

She looked over and couldn't help but look at the new queen seriously.

In the past, when the queen was still a concubine, she had almost never heard of her name, and after the emperor issued an edict that night, she only inquired a little about her information, and heard that she was extremely low-key in the harem, and her style of conduct was not ostentatious at all. But through today's brief contact, she felt that the news from those inquiries did not seem to be very credible.

Let's not talk about how she was chosen by the emperor to be the head of the harem, just the impression that this new queen gave her, she felt uncomfortable.

Very fake.

But I can't figure out where the fake is.

Her words and deeds seem to be more low-key than that of Jin Guifei, but what she suddenly says can always make it impossible to ignore her existence.

Such a woman really can't be underestimated. It's her instinct!

After Empress Xiao finished admiring the Qiu family, she suddenly turned to look at a young girl beside her, and said solemnly: "Yun'er, you see that Princess Cheng is capable and filial, you need to learn more from Princess Cheng, do you know?" ”

"Sister, Yun'er knows. Another day, Ling'er will definitely go to visit Princess Cheng. The girl first glanced at Bai Xinran, and then lowered her head and answered obediently.

Hearing this, Bai Xinran couldn't help frowning.

"Since the two sisters are here today, why don't we find a place to sit and talk?" Suddenly, Qiu suggested.

They all ran together, and it was not easy for Jin Guifei and Empress Xiao to refuse, and both of them nodded in agreement.

The three noble concubines walked in front with dignified steps, and looking from a distance, the three noble and dazzling figures seemed to add three brilliant colors to the imperial garden.

Bai Xinran didn't want to be with these people, especially Qiu, she had already seen that Qiu's intention was to kill the child in her belly, she was now wishing to flash as far as she wanted, otherwise she would really become a candidate for backing, and there were so many people to testify, even if the emperor protected her, she would probably not be happy. After all, people are terrible!

As for Qiu's idea of whether he would fight others, she didn't know. Anyway, none of the people in this palace seem to make her look pleasing to the eye. She will only care about the life and death of others when she is full.

Just when Bai Xinran was hesitating whether to follow, suddenly a clear voice came into her ears-

"Princess Cheng, the little girl is the sister of the queen's mother, and her surname is Xiao and Yun, and they all call me Yun'er. I have heard the reputation of Princess Cheng for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet Princess Cheng here today, Yun'er is deeply honored. ”

Bai Xinran came back to his senses and frowned. I didn't take it seriously just now, but I have to be amazing when it's close at this time, what a big beauty with a logo!
