In the autumn, Zhou Yingyue sent several boxes of seafood back from the south.

Because this thing could not be kept for a long time, Princess Fu simply held a small-scale banquet and invited relatives and friends to enjoy it together.

It's a pity that these things are pregnant with a child on the side of the eyebrows, so they can't eat more, at most one or two bites to taste the taste. But the eyebrows were suddenly very greedy, and they kept staring at them, Xingyun and Huang'er had to keep a firm look at people, lest she go to steal food if she wasn't careful. It's not something that can be mixed up.

In the end, he saw that he really couldn't eat it, and he didn't want to look at his greed, so he had to leave the banquet step by step under the persuasion of Xingyun, planning to go outside to breathe.

Fortunately, in addition to seafood, Zhou Yingyue also sent a lot of unique fruits in the south, which are rare in the capital, and I don't know how she preserves them, but they are still very fresh when they are sent here. Xingyun helped Meibian to find a pavilion to sit down, and then went to fetch a large plate and brought it over to Meibian to eat and play.

She now has no time to eat, and if she doesn't eat anything, she feels uncomfortable with the fire in her stomach.

When he was trying each fruit with great interest, a hearty voice suddenly came from outside the pavilion, "The princess is so interested, hiding here to steal delicious food?" ”

When he turned his head to look at it, he was relieved to see that it was the eldest princess of Qinghe.

"Don't make fun of me. If I can't eat all the good things in it, where can I give it up? He said with great regret.

The eldest princess of Qinghe couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.

She walked over, looked her eyebrows up and down, and said, "You are a person with a double body, you really need to pay more attention." How many months has this kid been there? ”

"It's been more than six months." He raised his hand and stroked his stomach, and his expression couldn't help but soften.

The eldest princess of Qinghe smiled and said, "The person who is going to be a mother is really not ordinary." However, I look at your belly, is it too big? Her tone was also a little uncertain, so she used a question.

Mei was startled, thinking that she was saying that she might be pregnant with twins, and hurriedly asked, "What do you say?" ”

"I remember when I was pregnant with my pure brother, when I was six months old, my belly still looked very inconspicuous. It wasn't until seven or eight months later that it suddenly rose like a blow, but it was only about the same as you are now. "The eldest princess of Qinghe said.

"Really?" Mei was taken aback, "Can ...... What's going on? She always thought that her belly would bulge when she was pregnant, so she didn't pay too much attention to it, but if her belly was abnormally big, then she had to be investigated.

The eldest princess of Qinghe said with some uncertainty, "If it is a twin, the imperial doctor should be able to diagnose it." I wonder if you eat too much and your child grows too big. ”

"Isn't it good to have older children?" Meibian didn't understand this, and asked blankly, "Older people are naturally stronger when they are born." ”

"That's a good thing to say, but my princess, you don't want to think about it, how long does it take for such a big child to be born? Then it will be you who will suffer. Besides, it's too big and easy to cause a blood collapse, and it's too late for you to cry! The eldest princess of Qinghe stood up as she spoke, "Forget it, I'll go tell your mother-in-law, let her watch you, and stop eating like this." ”

There was a little confusion on the side of his eyebrows. Although her appetite is indeed much greater after pregnancy, the people in the palace say that it is normal, after all, one person has to eat two people's portions, so she doesn't feel that there is anything wrong. Today, when I heard the eldest princess of Qinghe repeatedly mention that she had eaten too much, she couldn't help blushing.

It's not like she wants to eat so much!

"That's right, look at my memory......" The eldest princess of Qinghe was about to leave, and suddenly turned around, untied a purse from her body and handed it to her, "This is the talisman that I asked for from Dongshan Temple when I was pregnant, and I gave it to you specifically to keep you safe." ”

"How can you give me something so important?" Meibian hurriedly refused.

The eldest princess of Qinghe touched her face, "What's polite?" It's all my own family. If you really feel that your hands are hot, when the production is over, you can return it to me. When my daughter-in-law gives birth, she may still be able to use it. ”

Only then did he accept his eyebrows, and tied his hand around his waist, "Then thank you aunt." ”

After the eldest princess Qinghe reminded her, Princess Fu also felt that the belly on the side of the eyebrows was too big, and invited the imperial doctor to come and see it, and they all said that it was big, and asked the eyebrows to control the diet, so as not to make the child too big and difficult to give birth in the future.

So when I opened my eyes every day, I was eating, and the days of eating were gone, and all the things that could be eaten in the Hidden Bamboo Garden were hidden by Xingyun and Huang'er, and they were fed to her regularly and quantitatively every day.

In the first few days, Meibian has long been accustomed to eating, where can you bear it? The eyes begged Xingyun and Huang'er. Xingyun has followed his own girl for so many years, and he is not moved at all. Huang'er had a wavering expression, but when she saw Xingyun's refusal, she became firm again.

This is for the good of the princess and the little princess in the belly.

That's right, while all the masters of the Fu Wangfu Mansion accepted that there might be a daughter in the belly of the eyebrows, all the subordinates of the palace were sure that this baby must be a son.

Meibian begged for a day without eating an extra piece of pastry, and when Yuan Ziqing came back, he complained to him with tears in his eyes. Yuan Ziqing felt sorry for her and wanted to secretly subsidize her so that she could have a buffer process. But he had nothing to eat.

In the end, Mei had to go to sleep with a grudge, and in his dream he sat at the dining table, eating all kinds of food in front of a large table.

As a result, when he woke up, he was even more hungry, and stared at Yuan Ziqing who was getting dressed with a resentful face, and he saw that he was full of excitement, "I'll let people go out to buy some snacks today, and then secretly hide a piece and come back to you, okay?" ”

"Okay." He nodded quickly on his eyebrows, and then took his sleeve, "Then you should come back quickly!" ”

This small appearance, seeing that Yuanzi's heart melted, he hugged the person and kissed him several times before he reluctantly left. The eyebrows are also reluctant, but what they are thinking about is their own snacks.

When I can't eat, I feel that the saliva secretion in my mouth is faster, and I can only salivate and fantasize about those delicious foods, and draw cakes to satisfy my hunger. Later, the imagination could no longer satisfy her, so he ran to Yuan Ziqing's study to paint.

Her drawing skills are very average, but Rao is like this, and the things she paints still make her feel even hungrier.

Fortunately, the attention of the eyebrows was quickly diverted. Because she saw the box where Yuan Ziqing collected the portrait. It is said that most of the paintings there are by themselves, and I thought about looking back at them before, but then there were many things, so I forgot about it.

She cautiously looked around to make sure no one showed up, and then reached for the crate.

In fact, except that she painted all of them, and most of them she couldn't even remember when, these paintings were quite normal. The more he looks at his eyebrows, the more beautiful he becomes, at least he must be very important in Yuan Ziqing's heart, so he will always paint himself.

However, she couldn't help but be a little suspicious in her heart, because Yuan Ziqing tried her best to prevent herself from looking at these paintings before, excluding that he was embarrassed because of his shyness, there might be other mysteries in the paintings.

Thinking like this, he opened all the paintings on his eyebrows and carefully reviewed them.

In the end, there was only one corner left, and she realized that the scrolls of these paintings seemed to be a little different from the previous ones, and the colors were darker, which was difficult to spot if she didn't pay attention.

As soon as the scroll unfolded, his brows blushed.

It's still her painted on it, but it's not her in ordinary times, her clothes are disheveled, her face is full of spring/color, and her temples are slanted...... It's clearly what the two of them look like when they're entangled. Although I didn't look in the mirror at that time, I can still figure out what it was like.

It's just that when she really saw it on the picture scroll, she still couldn't help blushing and being shy.

Yuan Ziqing actually drew all these things! She was amused, embarrassed, and angry for a moment, and she didn't know what to make. This kind of thing is just put here, what if it is seen by others?

Thinking like this, she immediately picked out all the scrolls of this color, carried them out of the study, and went to Xingyun to ask for a box to pack.

Not to mention, I really found a big box that just packed all these scrolls. Only then did he hide it densely beside his eyebrows.

But although she couldn't see it, her mind was all tied to it, and for the rest of the day, she had been thinking about it, and she even forgot that she wanted to eat.

When Yuan Ziqing came back and took out the snacks and held them in front of her, he only glanced at them casually, "I don't want to eat it." ”

Yuan Ziqing was shocked.

What really happened today? When I left in the morning, I clearly told me again and again, why did it become so fast in just one day?

He went out to ask Xingyun for questioning, and Xingyun said, "I didn't ask for anything to eat today, but I think I got used to it yesterday." ”

Yuan Ziqing resolutely didn't believe it, and asked her what she did today, and learned that Meibian had been to the study, and rushed to take a look, only to find that the table had been messed up by her, and she hadn't cleaned it up, and the food she painted was thrown all over the place.

He couldn't help laughing, thinking that she really couldn't help it, but it turned out that she had learned to draw cakes to satisfy her hunger.

However, his heart was relieved, and he quickly lifted it up again, for he found that the box had been opened. After the inspection found that some of the scrolls had disappeared directly, Yuan Ziqing's whole person was a little bad.

He guessed that those things should have been taken away by the eyebrows. But even so, he still felt extremely uncomfortable. If you knew this was the case, you should have found a secret place to hide. - But he soon became suspicious again, is there a secret place in this hidden bamboo garden for the eyebrows?

To put it simply, he may not be able to find what is hidden next to his eyebrows, what is he hiding......

Just look at these reels.

Yuan Ziqing returned to the main room scratching his lungs, looked at Meibian, wanted to ask, but hesitated, and after a while, he noticed that the dim sum he brought back had been eaten by Meibian.

He walked over, hugged his eyebrows in his arms, greeted his daughter, and then asked cautiously, "Lady, did you go to the study today?" ”

"Hmm." As soon as he heard it, he knew what he was going to ask, "I saw a few pictures that were interesting, so I took them." ”

Yuan Ziqing's heart tightened, "Lady......" He felt that he had to explain, but he didn't know how to explain. I can only ask more nervously, "Have you opened it and seen it?" ”

"I've seen it. Shizi's painting work is getting better and better. He said lightly.

Yuan Ziqing didn't know for a moment whether this was a sincere compliment or irony, so he had to shut up honestly. Mei Pan said, "Don't put such things in the study in the future, even if others can't go, Zifang and Dad will always go." ”

If she sees this, will she still be a person?

Yuan Ziqing's face turned red with a "coax", and he coughed violently, "Cough, cough, cough...... Lady, I know it's wrong. Just where should it be? "That should make you know where she put the scroll?

Meibian stood up and walked inside. Yuan Ziqing hurriedly followed.

But when she saw Meibian walking to the bed, she bent down carefully, and she didn't know where to touch it a few times, only to hear a click, and then she pulled out a dark grid from the wooden bed.!! After half a year of marriage, Yuan Ziqing found that the bed he slept on every day still had such a secret secret grid, and for a moment he only felt that the room seemed to be very suspicious everywhere, and he couldn't tell what kind of mechanism was hidden, just like what was written in those novels. And the lady of his family is like a hidden worldly master.

Standing up with the bedpost on the side of his eyebrows, he looked back at Yuan Ziqing who was in a daze, "If there is one in the future, let's put it here." ”

"Yes." Yuan Ziqing simply agreed, and then asked cautiously, "Lady, are there any other secrets in this house?" ”

"What do you think?" "This bed is specially built, so leave a dark compartment and put something close to your body." Do you think it's everywhere? ”

"And how many cubicles are there on this bed?" Keep asking.

The eyebrows did not hide from him, "Four." Shizi wants to try it, can you find out the others? ”

Yuan Ziqing was really interested. So in the next time, Meibian sat on the bed and watched Yuan Ziqing go up and down. Probably lucky, he really let him find one, the switch button is the same as the one that opened on the eyebrow before, that is, a carved flower in front of the bed, on two bedposts.

In this dark compartment, all the clothes that are close to the eyebrows, belly pockets and things that will be used during menstrual events. Yuan Ziqing glanced at it twice, and then closed it again with a blazing fire.

The remaining two can't be found anyway.

He wanted to ask, but Meibian just looked at him with a slight smile and didn't say a word.

Yuan Ziqing didn't ask, just look for it yourself, sooner or later you will be able to find it. He turned to another question: "Who made this bed?" So fine. ”

"Yingyue asked someone to fight, and I only came out of the wood." Meibian said, "It is said that he is the master over there in Jiangnan, and his craftsmanship is no better." After the fight, they didn't dare to disassemble it, for fear that they would not be able to form it, so they were directly transported to Beijing by big ship. ”

"It's the moon that is missing." Yuan Ziqing couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, "If it were someone else, the cost of buying a boat alone would be expensive." ”

By the way, speaking of Zhou Yingyue, she said with her eyebrows, "Today's mother came to see me, saying that she received a letter from Sun Jing, and Yingyue is afraid that she will come back soon." ”

Although Zhou Yingyue also had correspondence with them, they were only written when there was something, and there may not be one a month. It may be closer to Yuan Zifang, but it is the private conversation of the young couple. But Sun Jing was different, he always had to send a letter to the Fuwang Mansion on the third and fifth days, which contained everything, from the customs and customs of Haizhou to various matters of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce and customs.

Yuan Ziqing has praised him more than once for being a talent.

Although he was sent to Haizhou to take care of business, he himself knew that even the news was collected at the same time, so that Fuwangfu would not become deaf and blind, and this thought was rare.

"It's almost the New Year." Yuan Ziqing said, "She always has to rush back before the year, after all, the wedding date is set for next year, and it is too late to prepare at this time." "At the beginning, I started to prepare a year in advance, embroidering wedding dresses and making other female celebrities, and I still had to get up early and rush in the dark.

However, Zhou Yingyue may not do it all by herself, and even so, the time is still very tight.

"I don't know if I can hold on to this in my stomach until that day." Suddenly there was some worry on his eyebrows.

She was not pregnant when the wedding date was set, and later calculated that the birth date was probably just a few days, and it was not easy to change. Now I can only pray that she will persevere.

If she gives birth, she will definitely be in confinement at that time, and she will naturally not be able to attend the wedding. She and Zhou Yingyue have a good relationship, she rushed back from Haizhou when she got married, if she married but she was not there, it would be regrettable.

Yuan Ziqing patted her stomach and said, "My daughter should be well-behaved, stay in my mother's belly for a few more days, and let my mother come out after attending the wedding banquet of my uncle and aunt." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could she understand? Besides, what should come will come, how can there be a reason to stay for a few more days. "Raise your eyebrows at him.

……

Zhou Yingyue returned to Beijing before the arrival of winter. She was dressed in men's clothes, her hair was neatly combed, and she wore a thick cloak, and when she stood heroically in front of her eyebrows, she almost didn't dare to recognize them.

"It's like it's changed again." She looked at it for a moment before she spoke.

Zhou Yingyue smiled slightly, the idea in her heart has finally come true, and she has been in charge for most of the year, naturally high-spirited, and her temperament has changed a little. "Probably tanned." She said.

Mei couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, Zifang won't dislike you." He has been in the Praetorian Guard for most of the year, and he is also exposed to the wind and sun every day, and he will not be much better than you, and the two of you are still a couple. ”

After Yuan Zifang settled down, he has been polishing himself in the Praetorian Guard. Although he doesn't seem to have achieved much now, he has become one with the backbone who used to look down on him. It doesn't seem to be of any use, but in fact, it will be frightening to really clear up the connections.

It is precisely because of this that he is becoming more and more low-key, and he has become much more honest these days, and there are almost no rumors about him in the capital.

Occasionally, someone mentioned that he was going to get married, maybe it was for Miss Zhou's self-cultivation, and then everyone laughed at it.

Zhou Yingyue was very interested in the child in her belly, "Is the due date similar to the day we got married?" She patted her belly on the side of her eyebrows, "Good boy, you must hold on, don't run out first." ”

"Why are you so out of tune?" "Don't worry, I'll go to your wedding." ”

"I'm not worried about that." Zhou Yingyue said, "Actually, if you really give birth and can't go, there is no big hindrance." I'm just joking, don't take it personally. ”

"Yes." Meibian asked, "Haizhou...... How's it going? ”

"It's all good." Zhou Yingyue said, "What exactly do you want to ask, the third prince?" ”

Eyebrows nodded.

After all, he was pushed to that position by the Fuwang Mansion, and even the person who came up with the idea at the beginning was himself, so he was very concerned about his eyebrows. However, since she became pregnant, the whole family has completely blocked her news channels on the grounds of "inappropriate work", and these things will not be used to disturb her. What she could hear now was some inconsequential gossip in the capital.

Zhou Yingyue sat down opposite her, and thought for a while before saying, "Third prince...... There is room for people. ”

"That's all?"

"Isn't that enough?" Zhou Yingyue raised her eyebrows, "I thought that for the palace, this is the most important thing." ”

The eyebrows immediately reacted. Also, the Fu Wangfu supported him, originally so that he could continue to stand firmly on the court and not be annihilated in the battle. The three princes can tolerate people, so after the matter is completed, they will not attack the Fuwang Mansion, which is the most important thing.

Otherwise, you have worked hard to support people, but the other party is afraid of you, and after gaining a firm foothold, you will immediately turn the gun and aim at you, isn't that a work in vain?

As for whether the third prince has a benevolent monarch or something, it is not something that can be cared about by the eyebrows.

She couldn't help but yawn, "If that's the case, then I won't ask." ”

Zhou Yingyue asked, "Are you sleepy?" ”

"Hmm." Nodding his eyebrows, "I've been getting more and more sleepy in the last two months, twelve hours a day, but six or seven hours are sleeping, and I still feel sleepy." But the doctor said that it was not good to sleep too much, so I was always up and moving. ”

She yawned again as she spoke, and Zhou Yingyue hurriedly got up, "Then you can rest first, I should go home too." "Because I was worried about the child in my belly, I came to see her first, and there were a bunch of things waiting outside.

didn't leave her on the side of the eyebrows, and sent people to the door with their stomachs. Because it was cold, she didn't let her go out, so she had to yawn and go back to make up for sleep.
