Chapter 159 Seeing that Zhou Shu didn't want Jian Ying to bother, he didn't tell her that Xiao Liu'er was recognized by Mrs. Taiyuan Hou as her goddaughter.

In fact, Jian Ying already knew, even more detailed than he knew.

For example, Xiao Liu'er got along well with a few young ladies and Miss Sun who were not out of the Hou Mansion, because she was "well-behaved and sensible", she was deeply loved by Mrs. Taiyuanhou, and even Taiyuanhou got the shoes and handpieces she made herself, and she also abandoned her previous prejudice and became kind to her.

That Young Master Miao is even more like a pug, circling around her when he has nothing to do.

In Jian Ying's opinion, Young Master Miao's diligence is in vain.

Xiao Liu'er is such a high-minded and arrogant person, even Zhou Shu, the young master of the palace, will he look down on a cousin young master who is fostered in the Hou Mansion?

For Xiao Liu'er, Young Master Miao is just a springboard for her to ride the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Mansion is just a bigger springboard for her to turn back into the concubine of the Jian family.

Anyway, no matter how she tosses, she will one day toss back to Jinan Mansion. The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, and it will not change to meet all changes.

With Xiao Zheng, the ancestor from the capital, in order to show respect, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the royal mansion was more sumptuous than in previous years. Sea cucumbers, abalones, chickens, ducks, fish, sheep, flying in the sky, walking on the ground, swimming in the water, what is rare.

The feast was placed in the heart hall, separated by screens, and divided into male and female seats. Because it is a reunion dinner that only comes once a year, the aunts are also fortunate to attend, and they do not pay attention to "food and sleep", and they talk while eating, what they want is to be lively.

Xiao Zheng was curious about how Jian Ying had fascinated Zhou Shu, and had been paying attention to the movements on the women's seat. Listening to her witty words, she can often make a group of female relatives laugh with a single mouth, but she understands a little.

After the dinner, the men stayed in the Cunxin Hall to drink tea and chat, the women gathered in the Jingguo Courtyard to make dumplings, and the children were accompanied by their subordinates to light firecrackers and set off fireworks in the open space.

I have eaten New Year's Eve dumplings, and I have gone back to my own yard to keep the New Year.

Jian Ying went to bed early on weekdays, and she couldn't open her eyes until this hour, so she returned to the blue courtyard to wash up briefly, and couldn't wait to climb into bed. I just saw the shadow of Old Man Zhou, and I was woken up by Xueqin again, "Second Young Lady, get up quickly." Just now, Lianzhu came to report that the princess had seen red. ”

Jian Ying came to her senses, "Is the concubine red?" ”

"Yes, Lianzhu said that the prince lost his temper and told you to hurry over." Xueqin said as she took her clothes from the screen and served her to put them on.

Jian Yingji hung on Fang's family, and had no intention of dressing up carefully, so she simply tied her hair in a bun, inserted a hairpin, put on a cloak and went straight to Jingguo Courtyard.

When I saw the door, I saw Zhou Shu, Zhou Han, and Xiao Zheng standing in the courtyard. Obviously, he heard the news and came with King Ji'an.

Zhou Han's face was full of anxiety and kept pacing.

Zhou Shu watched his eldest brother walk around coldly, his face a little gloomy.

Xiao Zheng is purely here to join in the fun, it is none of his business, and he is the most calm and relaxed.

Jian Ying stepped forward and greeted her hastily, and then went straight to the main room.

Concubine Baifang, Concubine Wenshu, Concubine Qi, Meng Xinniang, Zhou Qin, and Zhou Xi have all arrived, and they didn't have the heart to greet her when they saw her, so they nodded their heads, which can be regarded as greetings.

"How's the concubine?" She asked.

"I don't know yet." It was Zhou Qin who replied, "My father and the doctor are inside." ”

Jian Ying frowned, "It was fine just now, how could it suddenly become red?" ”

"I'm afraid I ate something that I shouldn't eat, right?" Meng Xinniang interjected lightly.

"What do you mean, sister-in-law?" Without waiting for Jian Ying to speak, Zhou Qin opened his mouth angrily, "Today's dinner and Chinese New Year's Eve dinner were all organized by the second sister-in-law, don't you say this, isn't it insinuating that the second sister-in-law harmed the mother and concubine?" ”

Meng Xinniang glanced at her, "You said this, but I didn't say it." ”

Zhou Qin was extremely angry, "You ......"

"Third sister." Jian Ying held Zhou Qin's hand and shook her head, signaling that now was not the time to quarrel and control her anger.

Zhou Qin was still angry, and glared at Meng Xinniang fiercely, "Villain." ”

Concubine Wen Shu patted Jian Ying's arm in the air, and whispered to comfort her: "Don't worry, the princess is auspicious, and she will be fine." ”

Jian Ying smiled gratefully at her, "Thank you for your good words." ”

After a while, the king of Ji'an led an old doctor with gray hair out, and everyone was blessed.

"Father, is the mother okay?" Zhou Xi ran forward and asked with a blank look.

The king of Ji'an did not have time to answer, but asked the old doctor, "How?" ”

"According to the pulse, the princess must have accidentally eaten something cold. Fortunately, I didn't eat much, but I moved some tire gas, and there was no danger of slipping tires. The old doctor said slowly, "Stay in the next prescription for a safe fetus, and invite the princess to drink a few pairs of medicine, and it will be fine." ”

King Ji'an breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed his hand to the old doctor: "Then I will leave you the treasure square." ”

The old doctor said "don't dare", and followed Peiyu to the inner study to open a prescription.

King Ji'an called Zhang Ma, Lian Zhu and the others over and asked Fang what they had eaten today.

Knowing that the Fang clan had never touched anything else except for the dinner party and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, he asked someone to present the menu and called the cook and steward of the large kitchen over for careful questioning. At the end of the question, a mother-in-law confessed that tonight's dumpling filling was made with soft-shelled turtle soup.

King Ji'an was furious, "You are all literate and well-versed in medicine, and you are not rough people in the countryside, how can you not know that the soft-shelled turtle is a thing of the great cold?" Knowing that the princess was pregnant, she dared to use soft-shelled turtle soup to prepare the filling, and she knew that she was guilty, and her heart could be punished. ”

"The prince spares his life." The woman kowtowed again and again, "The villain is also obedient to orders." ”

"Doing what you are told?" When King Ji'an heard the meaning of these four words, he was even more angry, and slapped him on the small table, "Say, whose life did you listen to?" ”

The woman's eyes flickered, "Yes...... It's the second young lady. ”

King Ji'an's face sank, "Second daughter-in-law." ”

"My daughter-in-law is here." Jian Ying stepped forward in response.

"Get on your knees." King Ji'an shouted angrily.

Jian Ying knelt down as she said, neither defending nor speaking.

King Ji'an knew that she had always gotten along very well with the Fang family, and seeing her attitude, he became more and more sure that there was something hidden here, and his tone softened slightly, "Second daughter-in-law, tell me, what the hell is going on?" ”

"Back to my father, my daughter-in-law doesn't know what's going on." Jian Ying said calmly, "My daughter-in-law has never instructed anyone to prepare the filling with soft-shelled turtle soup. ”

"Second young lady, you can't deny it." The woman was anxious, and interjected regardless of etiquette, "Didn't you bring a recipe and say that the dumpling filling made with soft-shelled turtle soup is particularly delicious, and let the little people follow the recipe?"

The villain also asked you at the time, the princess is pregnant, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to eat this dumpling filling, right? You said that it is enough to transfer only one to the princess, and you can't snub Prince Yong's son because of accommodating the princess alone.

When the villain sent dumpling fillings to Jingguo Courtyard, he sent two kinds of them, and specially instructed which one was made with soft-shelled turtle soup and which one was the general filling.

By the way, the recipe villain is still kept, please take a look at it. ”

As he spoke, he pulled a piece of paper from his sleeve and raised his hands above his head......
