Thanks to me for the tip sachet that I'm a HIT fan......

"No, when the prince entered the gate of Liuyun Courtyard, the slave maid deliberately took a closer look, and the door of the courtyard of the snow side concubine seemed to have been closed a long time ago." Zhu Yun gave a clear answer to the Murong clan, then hesitated and continued to speak: "...... Speaking of the snow side concubine, the slave maid just has something to tell the princess, the snow side concubine seems to be very strange during this time, the door of the courtyard is closed very early, and she rarely comes out to walk around recently, and the people in the big kitchen also came to mention to the slave and maid that day, the people in the snow side concubine's courtyard specially went to ask about some purchases, saying that the snow side concubine has been a little angry recently, and wants to get a small kitchen in the yard and boil some soup and water to drink......" After speaking, she looked at Murong with some anxiety, afraid that Murong would blame her for not reporting in time.
When Murong heard Zhu Yun's words, his eyebrows were originally furrowed, but when he heard Zhu Yun finish speaking, he had completely stretched out, and there was a smile in his eyes that was obvious to his heart, which made Zhu Yun couldn't help but ask curiously: "Princess, what do you say will be strange in the courtyard of Concubine Xuefang?" β
"How can Concubine Ben know about the matter in Concubine Xuefang's yard?" Murong glanced at Zhuyun, and his tone was vague.
"It's the slave who is confused." Seeing the slight displeasure in Murong's eyes when he looked over, Zhu Yun hurriedly lowered his eyes and admitted his mistake, how could he not help but be a little overstepping because he felt that the princess was in a good mood! Don't do this next time, Zhu Yun secretly warned herself in her heart.
Sunny and rainy in the sky
Concubine Xuefang finally endured the discomfort and drank a bowl of chicken soup, but she didn't expect it to all pour out in the next moment, and the eldest girl Lan'er patted Concubine Xuefang's back with her hand. While taking the warm water handed over by the little maid, there was a worried look on his face that could not be concealed: "Concubine Fang, it's not okay to go on like this." It's really not a way for you to vomit after eating like this, or we'll ......."
Concubine Xue Fang elegantly spit out the water in her mouth, took a deep breath, felt much better than just now, frowned slightly, and her eyes were fierce: "Absolutely not now, I will have to wait for three months at the earliest." Don't be clever and spoil your concubine. β
"But the side concubine, you vomit so strictly, you don't look for the imperial doctor, the slave and maid are really a little bottomless. The slave is worried...... "Lan'er is worried.
Concubine Xue was also a little hesitant when she heard Lan'er's words, but thinking about the consequences of this matter once it spread, and then thinking about what her mother said in her letter, women are pregnant like this. Just get through the first few months. The heart calmed down again: "Mother's letter is not clearly stated, these are normal reactions, besides, the concubine's body has always been fine, such a situation, there are only some reactions, and when the fetus is stable, these will slowly get better, the concubine is not afraid of hard work, what are you afraid of?" β
"The slave and maid know, too. But seeing the master's hard work, the slave and maid were worried. The slave will have someone cook you a bowl of chicken soup. β
"Go ahead!" Concubine Xue said with a pale face, morning sickness consumed too much of her energy, although she was a little dissatisfied with the big girl being so unsinkable, but at this moment, she didn't want to worry too much.
When Lan'er returned with a bowl of chicken soup again, Concubine Xue Fang was already asleep on the bed, Lan'er handed the chicken soup in her hand to the little maid on the side, stepped forward and gently covered the quilt for Concubine Xuefang, and then walked out of the room.
"Sister Lan'er, didn't you wake up Concubine Side?" The little maid asked suspiciously.
"Concubine Fang has not been able to sleep well recently, and now that she is finally asleep, let Concubine Fang have a good rest for a while." Lan'er looked at the little maid who questioned her, and a dark glint flashed in her eyes.
"That'...... What about chicken soup? β
"You go and simmer on the fire, wait for the side concubine to wake up in a while, you have a little look, hurry up and bring it over." Lan'er took the majesty of the big maid and commanded the little maid.
At night, Concubine Xue Fang woke up in a daze, and Lan'er hurriedly sent the chicken soup that had been hot, but fortunately, this time Concubine Xue Fang drank most of the bowl in one breath and did not feel like vomiting, and after falling asleep again, she did not toss like a few days ago, but slept until dawn.
Looking at the sky outside, Concubine Xuefang got up from the bed refreshed, let the people around her dress her up, and drank half a bowl of gruel in good spirits, and then lay back on the couch.
"Concubine Fang, there's big news!" Lan'er walked in from the outside, with a gloating smile on her brow.
"What's going on again?" Concubine Xuefang asked lazily.
ββ¦β¦ This time, the princess was embarrassed. Lan'er leaned over to Concubine Xuefang's side and said mysteriously.
"The princess is disgraced?" Concubine Xue sat up straight in interest and motioned for Lan'er to continue.
ββ¦β¦ Last night the prince came to the backyard, but he didn't rest in the princess's house, and the slave guessed that the princess must have made the princess dissatisfied, so the prince deliberately made face. Lan'er finished speaking to Concubine Xuefang, adding her own guess by the way.
"Then where did the prince go yesterday?" A few days ago, she also asked someone to inquire about it, knowing the practice of the prince in previous years, the first time after the New Year's Festival was the princess's main courtyard, so he didn't send anyone out, plus the reaction was too heavy in the past few days, and he closed the door relatively early, but he didn't expect the prince to go to the princess's main courtyard yesterday, nor did he come to her, indicating that a new force will arise in the backyard, definitely friend or foe, who will this person be, Concubine Xue stared at Lan'er.
"The prince has goneβLiuyun Courtyard." Looking at Concubine Xuefang's face Yan SΓΉ, Lan'er also realized something, and reported the news to Concubine Xuefang.
"What? Is it Concubine Gu? "Concubine Xuefang was about to get up from the couch in disbelief, and at the same time something gushed out of her throat......
After a period of upside down, Concubine Xue Fang half-lay back on the couch, but her face was obviously not good.
ββ¦β¦ The most important thing for the side concubine now is her body, don't hurt the master in her stomach for those unworthy ones. Lan'er cautiously persuaded, lest the concubine be in trouble, and she, the big girl, would bear the brunt of the blame.
"Put away your careful thoughts, of course this concubine knows what is the most important thing, are you afraid that this concubine will be angry with you?" Concubine Xue slowly exhaled a breath and pierced Lan'er's thoughts.
ββ¦β¦ Do slaves really care about their masters...... Lan'er's net worth and life are all on the side concubine! Lan'er hurriedly stood up to show her loyalty.
"Hmph, it's good for you to remember, only when this concubine is glorious, you can be better." Although she was satisfied with Lan'er's knowledge of current affairs, Concubine Xuefang still opened her mouth to knock appropriately.
"The slave doesn't dare to forget, so please take care of the side concubine and take care of the master in her belly." Lan'er continued with Concubine Xuefang's words.
"Come on, this concubine has her own plans in her heart." Concubine Xuefang glanced at Lan'er impatiently, turned her head and continued: "...... The current state of the concubine, she must not be able to serve the prince, three months later, the news came out, it was too eye-catching, it stands to reason that a person who jumped out at this time can just block the concubine, and the concubine has long been mentally prepared, but I didn't expect that this person would be Concubine Gu...... Why is it Concubine Gu? β
Listening to Concubine Xue's words, although Lan'er couldn't fully understand Concubine Xue's thoughts, she could still guess it, so she deliberately showed a disdainful expression, and said to Concubine Xue: "Concubine Xue doesn't have to worry too much, maybe Concubine Gu is just lucky, it's a coincidence!" β
"Good luck? Luckily? Lan'er originally just casually said something to please Concubine Xuefang, but she didn't expect Concubine Xuefang to think of something instantly when she heard Lan'er's words, and her face sank: "...... You minions, the most lazy and slippery behind the back of the concubine, you go and ask the concubine, which one was guarding the door yesterday? There was a certain ruthlessness in his tone.
Lan'er felt a pang in her heart, she knew that according to the appearance of Concubine Xuefang, she must have listened to her words and became angry, she wanted to say a few words for the unlucky subordinates, but the temperament of the concubine, if she pleaded, she would definitely be the one who suffered next, thinking like this, Lan'er was also ruthless, it was not that she didn't give the people under her a way to live, if she wanted to blame them, they blamed their own bad luck: "The person who guarded the door last night happened to be the subordinate who came from the house with us." β
"That's right, you can find a time to send a letter to your mother, let her help me deal with it, and send the two clever ones over again!" Concubine Xuefang opened her mouth lightly, and with one sentence, she cut off the back road of the two subordinates.
Lan'er gasped, and couldn't help but rejoice in her heart, fortunately she didn't say much just now, otherwise the unlucky estimate would have been her.
Liuun-in
King Jing had been away for a while, but the mandarin duck was standing at the door but she didn't hear the voice of the master calling inside, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious and worried.
Several times she couldn't help but want to raise her feet and break in, but she forcibly suppressed her back, and the master must not be happy that her appearance at this time was seen by their subordinates.
But as time passed, he still didn't hear the sound of the master, and the mandarin duck finally couldn't bear it anymore and knocked on the door gently: "Master, are you up?" β
"Come in!" Qing Jin's voice came out faintly.
The mandarin duck pushed the door in, his eyes subconsciously swept around the room, and after not seeing Qing Jin's figure, he bypassed the screen embroidered with large red flowers "scattered into mud and dust", and entered the waterfall-like black hair hanging straight to the ground?
"Master, are you alright?" The heart of the mandarin duck is mentioned to the apex.
"Of course there's something, can't you feel it so cold?" Qing Jin's face was revealed from the brocade quilt, and she tightened the quilt on her body as she spoke.
"Then the slave and maid will have someone bring some charcoal trays." As he spoke, the mandarin duck turned around and prepared to go out and order someone to add charcoal trays.
"Forget it, plus the house will smell like it." Qing Jin stopped the opening.
ββ¦β¦ But it's not a way for the master to be cold like this, so if it doesn't work, just light some incense to drive away the smell. After thinking about it, the mandarin duck opened his mouth.
"Don't toss, - there's no hot water, I want to bathe." Qing Jin shook her head and refused, and then asked at the mandarin duck.
"It's been burned for people to prepare, and the slave and maid will go and ask someone to bring it in." (To be continued......)
