Not long after returning to the Zhenguo Mansion, the rewards of Qing Guifei and Shu Guifei also arrived. The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother both appreciated things in person, and the two of them naturally couldn't help but express themselves.

Concubine Qing sent two horses of fragrant yarn and two boxes of goose egg powder used in the palace. Concubine Shu gave a box of Dongzhu and a box of fine purple jade ink.

Qingmei registered the gifts in the book, pouting and complaining: "When I see that Qing Guifei is not careful, in the winter, who will send incense and yarn to wear." There is also goose egg powder, can't she see that our girl's skin is more tender than egg whites, and she doesn't need that thing at all! ”

Qinglan said: "The other lady is lovely, Dongzhu is rare, purple jade ink is elegant, this is worthy of Sister Qingyun!" ”

Xia Qingyun sat in front of the dresser, supporting his cheeks with one hand and fiddling with the golden step with the other, sighing and sighing: "Laoshizi's things, how many new teas do we have to exchange for us, this deal is really not cost-effective." ”

Qingzhu smiled beside him: "Sister Qingyun has always been generous, why did she become stingy today?" ”

"You don't know." Qingmei told the palace Qing Guifei about Xia Qingyun's clothes and the scene of the third princess talking about the tea ceremony, and the angry Qingzhu said: "No wonder she sent incense and accumulated yarn in winter, because she didn't put Mrs. and Sister Qingyun in her eyes and gave her tea, it was really a waste of those teas!" ”

It happened that Qingju came in with a bowl of freshly cooked ginseng chicken soup, "What are you shouting at Zhu'er, you really heard it at the door, be careful to spread it out, and cause trouble to Mrs. and Miss." ”

"Qingju's reminder makes sense." Xia Qingyun said and put Jin Bu back to the brocade box, walked to the table and sat down. "Liang Zi with the third princess is settled, there are many people outside, no quieter than in the treasure pavilion, in the future, you are all more vigilant, be cautious in your words and deeds, so as not to cause trouble from your mouth."

Qingmei and several people responded together, and Qingju took the ginseng chicken soup: "I use the red ginseng steamed in the treasure pavilion, and the oil has been skimmed, drink it while it is hot, it will calm the nerves." ”

Xia Qingyun scooped a spoonful. Blew it. Put it in your mouth, "It's so fresh, can you send some to your mother and mother?" ”

"I was afraid that the red ginseng would be too popular, so I made them Zizhi black chicken soup. I just let someone take it out. ”

Green chrysanthemum soup. They are all herbs and ingredients from the treasure house. With the addition of Seven Star Spring Water, the taste is exceptionally delicious.

My mother has been pregnant for more than five months, and it is the time when she needs to take supplements.

Mrs. Zhenguo only gave birth to her that year. He was forced to flee, caught cold in the rain, and then fell off the cliff, and his body fell into chronic illness, and he never had another child. She is not a few years older than her mother, Si Hongrui has been practicing martial arts all year round, and her body is much stronger than her peers, as long as she is properly cared for, she may be able to conceive another child.

After all, the real 'Xia Qingyun' has died, and he, a 'fake', may be sent to another world by God one day, so if he can let Mrs. Zhenguo have another child, it will be a matter of concern.

"Don't leave the rest of the soup alone, you can drink it separately." She put down the spoon, and the bracelet on her wrist slammed against the table with a soft 'dang' sound.

"Sister Qingyun, you don't wear the bracelet on your left hand, how can you change it to the right side today?" Qingju asked.

Xia Qingyun stretched out his two wrists and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother rewarded another one." Qingju held her hands and looked at them carefully, and said strangely: "Hey, these two bracelets seem to be a pair!" ”

The bracelet was taken off the queen mother's own wrist, and she put it on directly, and she didn't take a closer look in the palace, and now Qingju said, she compared the two together, sure enough, the left hand was given by Mrs. Zhenguo, and the phoenix engraved on it was to the right, and the queen mother sent this one, also engraved with the same phoenix pattern, but the phoenix is facing left.

"How can my mother's bracelet be a pair with the queen mother."

The next day, Xia Qingyun accompanied the two mothers to drink tea in the flower hall and asked curiously.

The mother pursed her lips and smiled: "Madame used to be the maid of the emperor's wife, the emperor's wife was the daughter-in-law of the queen mother, the queen mother gave a jade bracelet to her daughter-in-law, and she gave it to your mother, who would have thought that the last two bracelets would belong to you!" ”

Mrs. Zhenguo nodded with a smile, took a sip of tea in the teacup, and suddenly thought in her heart that Si Hongbowen was the blood of the emperor, and if the two of them married Qin and Jin, this pair of phoenix bracelets would still be worn on the hands of the royal daughter-in-law.

Perhaps this was the will of God, and she was both happy and worried. How to tell Si Hong Bowen about his life experience, can the royal family still accept him now? If not, according to the laws of the Qi Kingdom, he could not marry his cousin.

"My mother has something on her mind, and she doesn't speak for a long time." Xia Qingyun thoughtfully changed to a cup of hot tea.

Mrs. Zhenguo smelled the faint fragrance of tea, held the small tea cup in her palm but didn't drink it, and asked: "Qingyun, there are no outsiders here, you talk to your mother, you and Bowen"

"Mother!" Xia Qingyun said in a coquettish voice, two red clouds flew up on her cheeks, after all, Si Hongbowen did not make a clear statement in front of her father, and her daughter's family should be more reserved, how could she be embarrassed to explain.

The two mothers looked at each other with a smile, and Mrs. Zhenguo's eyes fell on the mother's bulging lower abdomen, and said with a smile: "Qingyun has sealed the county lord, and you will give birth to Lin'er in a few months, if you can add Bowen and Qingyun's marriage, it will be three joys!" I think God has mercy on our sixteen years of hard work, and finally opened our eyes to bless. ”

Xia Qingyun turned her head shyly, also looked at her mother's belly, and said to Mrs. Zhenguo: "Mother, you should also take care of your body, and strive to conceive a younger brother and sister this year, you will have another joy." ”

"This girl, why did you get involved with your mother's marriage." Mrs. Zhenguo scolded with a smile.

The mother stroked her stomach and smiled: "Good things come in pairs, four joys are happy and happy, and Mrs. has to work harder!" ”

As the wax moon came, the weather became colder and colder, the brazier was gathered in the house, and the windows were covered with ice flowers in the morning, and the eaves were drooping with crystal clear ice skates.

Qingmei held a long bamboo pole and knocked down the ice skate on the eaves of the door with a crisp sound, so that the water would not drip down when it melted, and it would be inconvenient to enter and exit.

"Shhh Qingju lifted the curtain and shouted quietly.

Last night, the blacksmiths of Beixi Tunbao arrived in the capital, and Si Hongrui and Xia Qingyun rushed to the mountains of Jingbei overnight and sent them into the treasure pavilion together with the hoarded materials. Xia Qingyun asked about the situation in Tunbao, and explained to the blacksmith the number of guns and magazines to be made, and tried out dozens of muskets brought by the blacksmith with Si Hongrui, and when he returned to the palace, the sky was already dark.

After sleeping until the end of the night, Xia Qingyun got up, and after washing, he went to say goodbye to the two mothers, but he saw his mother making clothes in the house alone.

"Mother, don't be tired, these needlework will be handed over to the embroidery lady in the house to do." Xia Qingyun took the work in her hand and put it aside.

The mother picked up the fallen cloth, "Idle is also idle, my own children's clothes, always make my own peace of mind." ”

"My mother hasn't come here yet?" Xia Qingyun glanced at the clock, usually at this time, Mrs. Zhenguo would drink tea and chat with her mother.

"Someone came to the palace at noon, saying that the queen mother was sick and let her lady enter the palace. I wanted to take you with me, but when she saw that you were still asleep, she went by herself. (To be continued......)
