The princess of Concubine De was full moon, and the queen mother held a banquet in the guest room and invited some noble ladies. I didn't want to go, Yun Zheng was not in good spirits these two days, I wanted to stay at home with her, but the Queen Mother made a special decree and let me participate, and after thinking about it, about Concubine Murong's case, I still have something I want to ask Mama Fang Ting, so I have to change my clothes and go.

Her daughter is full moon, and my child is more than three months old, and her belly is already a little obvious, but Tiancaoguo's skirt is wide, and I can't see it if I don't pay attention to it. Yun Zheng has to give me tocolytic pills every day, and every few days he asks Mr. Fu to ask me for a pulse, my baby is very healthy, very strong vitality, different from the first child, I can even feel that he is so strongly attached to me, and he is so well-behaved, he does not toss his mother at all, I have almost no obvious pregnancy reaction, neither happy but also very eating, and the body is a lot richer.

The Queen Mother put the banquet in the Imperial Garden, Concubine De sat on the side of the Queen Mother in full costume, accepting everyone's congratulations, this time she saw me, her face was calm and calm, presumably Wei Xiang had already informed her. When I met Mama Fang Ting in Yining Palace before, I asked her to think back to what special things someone had given to Concubine Murong Xian before her accident. I remembered that Concubine Yao's jade pillow was sent to the palace by her father's hand, and perhaps Concubine Murong was in a similar situation. Mama Fang Ting thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of anything special: "Mrs. Ronghua, Concubine Xian has always been favored, and after she is pregnant with a child, someone often gives gifts, and the slave maid really can't think of it." ”

"Concubine Xian is so favored, why didn't she conceive a child until Concubine Yao was pregnant with a dragon vein?" I wondered.

"Concubine Xian Niangniang has been pregnant with the dragon vein twice before, both of which have miscarriages, and the doctor said that Niangniang's body is too weak to conceive a child." Mama Fang Ting recalled, "So that time Niangniang was pregnant with the dragon vein again, but I was happy, in order to keep this child, Niangniang didn't dare to run around, almost didn't even get out of bed, Mrs. Murong also made a special trip to the temple to ask for a fetal charm for Niangniang, so that she could hang on her body all the time......"

"Mrs. Murong?" I repeated suspiciously, and Mama Fang Ting said, "It's Mrs. Taifu, Niangniang's sister-in-law." ”

I nodded, it's Chu Yan's mother, right? Everyone knows what the heir means to the women of the harem, but poor Concubine Murong worked so hard to keep the fetus, but the child did not die of miscarriage, but from the three-foot white silk that its father gave to its mother.

The palace maid gave the ladies a "smile of eyebrows and eyes", which was the last dessert of the full moon feast, and after eating it, the feast was over. One of the palace maids carried the tray, and the other served desserts to the wives in the garden in turn, and when they came up to me, the little palace maid did not know what she had tripped under her feet, and the sweet soup bowl in her hand flew into my arms, splashing me with sticky sugar water, but fortunately the sugar water was warm and not burned. Everyone shouted "oops", and Concubine De shouted, "How do you do things? Someone, pull me down and beat me with twenty rods!" The little palace maid's face turned white with fright, and she knelt on the ground with a "bang", and trembled: "Niangniang spare your life, Niangniang spare your life!" ”

"Wait!" I hurriedly stopped the eunuch who stepped forward to drag her, turned to Concubine De and said: "Concubine Niangniang, today is the joy of the little princess's full moon, it is not appropriate to see blood, Niangniang should be a blessing for the princess, so spare her." ”

When Concubine De heard this, she didn't insist anymore, and said to the little palace maid who was kneeling on the ground: "Since Mrs. Ronghua intercedes for you, the cane punishment is changed to a three-month deduction of salary, and it can't go down!" ”

"Thank you! Lady Ronghua, please! The little palace maid kowtowed and stood up, and hurried out of the garden. The Queen Mother smiled and spoke: "Daxi, Xue'er doesn't have to be so angry. Ye'er, you're not hurt, are you? ”

"It's okay, it's just that the clothes are wet and uncomfortable." I smiled, "Queen Mother, it's better for the concubines to retire first." ”

"Mrs. Ronghua is like this, how did Yun Shizi bully you when we were in the palace." Concubine De laughed, turned her head to the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, the concubine's Dexin Hall is close, and Mrs. Ronghua is not allowed to go to the concubine's palace to change her clothes." ”

"It's fine." The Queen Mother nodded. Concubine De turned to the palace maid behind her and said, "Fluttershy, you take Lady Ronghua with you!" ”

"I'm causing trouble for my mother." I couldn't excuse myself, so I had to stand up and follow the palace maid. Entering the Dexin Palace, Fluttershy ushered me into a side room and brought me a basin of warm water, "Lady Ronghua, the slave will help you wipe your body." With that, come and help me undress.

I hurriedly said, "No, Fluttershy, I'll just come by myself, please help me find a set of clothes." Seeing her leave the room, I took the water, turned to the back of the screen, took off my coat and bib, topless, wrung a towel to wipe the sticky sugar stains on my chest, and after a long time, I cleaned my body, and heard someone outside: "Mrs. Ronghua, the slave has sent clothes." ”

"Bring it." When I saw that my body was wiped clean, I unbuckled my belt, took off my skirt, and wore only trousers. Fluttershy brought her clothes in, and when she saw me **, she put them on the stool without squinting and picked up the bib: "Slave maid helps Madame change her clothes." ”

"Thank you." I don't object to this, it's really a bit troublesome to wear this ancient clothes alone, not to mention this kind of palace dress with three layers inside and three layers outside. Fluttershy helps me put on my bib, and I put on my skirt, belt, and coat. Pack up and smile at her, "Thank you, Fluttershy." ”

Fluttershy smiled, said nothing, and led me out. Out of the wing room, I saw that Concubine De was followed by a palace maid, and walked over, it seemed that the full moon banquet in the imperial garden had dispersed. Seeing that I had changed my clothes, Concubine De smiled and said: "Mrs. Ronghua, this skirt is newly made by the palace, and it hasn't been worn yet, you really fit it, and the palace will give it to you." ”

"Xie Niangniang!" I owe it. Concubine De's face was a little pale, I don't know if her body hasn't recovered well after the confinement, she helped her and said with a smile: "Thank you, you sent so many funny dolls to the little princess, I haven't thanked you yet, I heard that those dolls are made by the embroidery village you opened?" ”

"Yes." I nodded. She smiled and stepped forward to take my hand: "Come, accompany me to the pavilion in front and sit down, and tell me about your interesting things." ”

She was so enthusiastic about me, I was really a little overwhelmed, and I couldn't pull my hand out, so I had to follow her forward. There is a big pond not far in front of the Dexin Hall of the De Guifei, there is a bridge and a pavilion, and in late autumn, there are no lotus flowers in the pond. Concubine De took me up to the stone bridge and said with a smile: "I can't see anything in this garden at this time, and I am so bored in the palace that I can only look at the fish in this pond." ”

I smiled silently, and she sighed faintly: "I really envy you, you can live a life outside the palace walls, and I am like a fish in this pool." She points to the surface of the water, and Fluttershy hands over the fish food, and she drops some of it into the water, and a group of red, yellow, and yellow crucian carp emerge from the water below the bridge, scrambling for food. I smiled: "Niangniang's status is noble, she enjoys all the glory, I don't know how many women in the world are envious, how can there be such feelings." ”

She smiled coquettishly: "Indeed, even if you are a fish, this palace is also the most noble fish. Right, Madame Ronghua. I suddenly felt that her smile was very weird, and I didn't want to be perfunctory with her anymore, so I bowed and said, "Niangniang, it's not early, and the concubine will retire today." ”

She nodded, "Fluttershy, send Lady Ronghua back." "I turned around and left, and just took a step, I tripped over something under my feet, and my body staggered." Mrs. Ronghua beware! I exclaimed, fell into the pond, and sank to the bottom of the water, and the icy water immediately surrounded me, and I fluttered twice in the water, and I surfaced and heard Concubine De exclaim: "Ah, Mrs. Ronghua has fallen into the water, Fluttershy, go down and save Madame!" ”

Before I could say anything, Fluttershy jumped into the water and swam in front of me. I gasped, "Fluttershy, I'll be water." ”

"The mother has an order, and the slave has to obey." Fluttershy's face was a little pale, and she grabbed my hand, I thought she was going to pull me to swim to the shore, but she grabbed my hand and sank to the bottom, and I was immediately pulled into the water by her, I was taken aback and tried to break free of her hand, but I didn't expect her body to wrap around me like a vine, one hand around my neck, and the other hand tightly on my mouth and nose.

She wants to kill me! I was startled and immediately struggled, the bulky dress and headdress made it difficult for me to move in the water, Fluttershy carried me like a scale to the bottom of the water, I touched the silt at the bottom of the pond and panicked, I don't know how thick the silt in this pond is, if I get stuck in the mud, I can break free? Her hands were tightly clasped around my nose and mouth, and I was getting a little out of breath. Why, why did Fluttershy kill me? No, why did Concubine De kill me? The consequences of killing me, Wei Xiang should have told her, not to mention that she is not sure that I am Azure Snow, why did she risk killing me? Unless ......, she's sure I'm Azure Snow? How can it be? How did she know for sure?

I don't know how long I struggled in the water, but I felt more and more breathless, my body became weaker and weaker, and my mind went blank when my consciousness was completely gone. Suddenly, a little dark blue light on my chest lit up faintly, and the feeling of suffocation disappeared, although my body was still cold and weak, but I no longer had trouble breathing. I woke up and tears almost fell from my eyes. Black Dragon Jade! It's Black Dragon Jade! Wraith! Wraith! You've always been watching over me, haven't you? I suddenly had the strength to fight again, and I broke Fluttershy's hand that was tightly covering my mouth and nose, but I was surprised to break free from her, and found her motionless, her eyes closed, and I didn't know if she had fainted or drowned in the water. A hand suddenly stretched out from behind me and held my neck, I struggled in amazement, could it be that Concubine Dao called the palace maid to come down and drag me down? The hand held me firmly, and the vision in the water was very poor, and I could vaguely see the hand, with a dragon embroidered on the golden sleeves. It was him, I breathed a sigh of relief, my body suddenly went limp, I closed my eyes, stopped struggling, and let those big hands support me to float to the surface.
