Qingning was pregnant, Mingxu was very happy, and pushed all the political affairs to accompany Qingning that night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Qingning stroked the abdomen that was not highlighted in the slightest, and a trace of soft light appeared on his face.

Since she was pregnant, Qing Ning had no way to be by Mingxu's side all the time.

On this day, just after breakfast, there was a guest in Fengyi Palace that Qing Ning couldn't have imagined, Mrs. Zhaohua.

"Say hello to my sister." Mrs. Zhaohua performed the standard salute and said with a smile: "I heard that my sister is pregnant a few days ago, and my sister should have congratulated my sister earlier, but in recent days, my sister has occasionally felt cold, and I am afraid that I will give this illness to my sister, so I didn't dare to come over until I was in good health today." ”

"Mrs. Zhaohua doesn't need to be polite." Qing Ning's face was faint, although he didn't want to see the person in front of him, he still had to do things on the surface, "Come on, serve tea." ”

Qing Ning knew that Mrs. Zhaohua must not like herself, regardless of whether she had true feelings for Ming Xu or not. After all, no woman can like other women around her husband.

Mrs. Zhaohua has never been to this Fengyi Palace since she was canonized, and she doesn't want to see her, so she doesn't care about the so-called morning and evening greetings. But today she came suddenly, and Qing Ning had to think more.

In fact, Qingning doesn't like this kind of life very much, she hates those calculations, especially some shady tricks. But Qingning also knows that this place will never be like the grassland, this is Xiliao. The harem of Western Liao could not be peaceful.

Mrs. Zhaohua didn't rush to speak after she sat down, and Qing Ning was not in a hurry in her heart, so she also kept silent and let her go.

After about a stick of incense, Mrs. Zhaohua couldn't sit still. She didn't come here today to simply congratulate Qingning as she said. But now that the other party doesn't ask, she doesn't know how to open her mouth is the best.

After about half a pillar of incense, Mrs. Zhaohua finally couldn't help but open her mouth and said tentatively: "The king is worried that after his sister is pregnant, he will be too tired to deal with the affairs of the harem alone, so he ordered a concubine to assist his sister, I don't know if my sister remembers?" ”

This power should have been obtained on the day he entered the palace, but the king was too difficult to control, and even his father failed to let him get his wish. Now that Qingning is pregnant, her opportunity has also come. Besides, in recent days, my father has been suppressing the king everywhere in the court, and presumably the king doesn't have much energy to take care of these things in the harem.

Qingning heard her talk about it, and then remembered that Ming Xu seemed to have mentioned this matter to him the night before. At the time, I didn't pay much attention to it, but now I say it from a bright mouth, but my heart is not very comfortable.

"Mrs. Zhaohua, if there is anything, just say it." Qing Ning really didn't want to sit here and deal with her, so he said bluntly.

Mingmei's eyebrows moved slightly, she concealed her emotions very well, and said softly: "Not long after the king ascended the throne, there was only one sister in this harem except for my sister. It just so happens that half a month later is the annual draft, so I asked my sister how to prepare for this year's draft. ”

Qing Ning's heart was shocked, and he said in surprise: "Draft? ”

Why have you never heard Mingxu mention it before? is about to be drafted, does it mean that there are many more women going to enter the palace?

"What? Sister doesn't you know? Mingmei looked at Qing Ning's appearance and asked pretending to be puzzled.

Qing Ning collected his thoughts, and said a little impatiently: "Let's put the draft on hold for the time being, this palace wants to ask the king what he means." ”

Seeing this, Mingmei was not in a hurry to speak, but looked embarrassed, and hesitated: "Sister, I'm afraid that the draft matter can't be avoided, and the concubine heard that the ministers of the court have already submitted excerpts to the king, persuading the emperor to expand the harem......"

"I'm a little tired from this palace, so you can go back first." Qing Ning waved his hand.

Mingmei didn't say much, looked up slightly at Qingning, and then bowed and retreated.

It wasn't until she walked out of Fengyi Palace that she stopped, glanced back, raised a sneer on her lips, and said to herself: "Everything has just begun. ”

After Mingmei left, An An immediately stepped forward and said to Qing Ning with some indignation: "Princess, she is clearly angry with you, you must talk to the king in a while." This Mrs. Zhaohua is very angry......"

"Okay An'an, be careful when you talk in the future, this is not a grassland after all." Qing Ning reminded.

When Ming Xu came to Fengyi Palace for dinner in the evening, Qing Ning finally mentioned the draft. Although Mingxu comforted her and said that she was the only one in her heart, Qingning understood that the draft could not be avoided after all.

Because she was pregnant, the draft was handed over to Mingmei to prepare, and Qingning didn't ask much, and of course she didn't want to ask.

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed, and the warm breeze of spring has made people lazy and sleepy. Qingning's waist and abdomen are also rounded, and a slightly bulging abdomen is faintly visible in a spring shirt.

Of course, this harem is also lively. Now there are seven or eight beauties in the palace, lovers, and countless envoys. Although the king came to Fengyi Palace the most, he didn't come every day after all.

These people who have just entered the palace often come to please themselves, but Qing Ning is indifferent to them. On the contrary, in Fengyang Palace, people come and go every day, and the sound of silk and bamboo continues.

On this day, Qing Ning saw that the sun was very good, so he walked in the hundred gardens. But I didn't want to walk less than a stick of incense in less than a moment, and bumped into those beauties who had just entered the palace.

Qingning doesn't know most of them very well, but one thing Qingning knows is that in this draft, most of the people who can be named beauties as soon as they enter the palace are from meritorious officials or famous families.

"The concubine has seen the queen." The three of them saluted Qing Ning in unison. They are different from Mingmei, and the identity of the beauty is just a concubine, so she is really not qualified to call herself "sister".

"Get up." Qing Ning had never liked to entangle with these people, so he wanted to turn around and walk away from them without their courtesy.

But no, one of the three lowered her voice when she turned around, and said disdainfully to the other two: "I don't know if she can sit in the queen's position for a few days, but I heard my father say that something big happened to the Ulaanbuir grassland." ”

Qing Ning stopped suddenly, the aura around her body suddenly changed, turned around, stared at the beauty who spoke just now, and said in a cold tone: "What did you just say?" ”

Although their voices were soft, they seemed to be intentionally speaking to her, and Qing Ning was originally a martial artist, so her ears were naturally stronger than ordinary people. In this way, the words just now entered Qing Ning's ears word for word.

The beauty who spoke was shocked by Qing Ning's fierceness at that moment, and her heart was shocked. It wasn't until he reacted that he regained some composure. But there was still a slight tremor in his voice: "The concubine hears it...... I heard that the old king of the grassland seems to be going to ...... in January Passed away......"
