Chapter 360: Lin Zhu's Proposal
Lin Zhu lived in the palace for three days, except for the queen mother, who had been troubled, the other concubines just met plainly.
Therefore, Lin Zhu's life in the palace was quite smooth. Although she had the heart to remind Concubine Lan of her pregnancy, she always couldn't find the right time.
Of course, in the past three days, the emperor did not deliberately come to Concubine Lan's place, and those concubines also shifted their attention elsewhere. However, because the emperor rewarded the princes and princesses, it was inevitable that someone would take this opportunity to show off in Concubine Lan's palace.
Concubine Lan naturally doesn't let people see her hurt mood, she has always shown her strong side, and only when she is alone will she allow herself to release this sad emotion.
There was still one night to leave the palace, and Lin Zhu felt that if he didn't say it now, he probably wouldn't have the opportunity to speak again for a while. And this kind of thing is simply impossible to write in a letter, nor can it be conveyed through Aunt Chang.
Because, even if Lin Zhu said it, Aunt Chang would not believe it, but would be curious why she knew this, where is this something that a woman who has not yet come out of the cabinet should understand. Maybe even those imperial doctors don't know what to do.
Lin Zhu, who had made up his mind, went to Concubine Lan's room.
"She wants to see me? Right now? Concubine Lan looked at the palace maid who came to report in some surprise. It's not early, and it's supposed to be bedtime, come over now, is there anything important for Lin Zhu to do?
"Let her in." Concubine Lan tidied up her clothes and commanded.
Lin Zhu entered Concubine Lan's bedroom for the first time. We used to meet outside. There is incense burning inside, the smell is faint, not strong, but it smells like a soothing effect, I think Concubine Lan is preparing for bed.
"Is there anything wrong with not resting so late?" Concubine Lan asked, secretly thinking in her heart that she hoped that she didn't want to live in the palace again. Although she earned her face this time, the emperor would not allow her to be pampered and spoiled.
"Can I say a few words to you alone?" Lin Zhu opened his mouth a little apprehensively, and the concubine would not leave anyone easily.
"Important?" During the three days she was here, Lin Zhu never made any requests to her, but she suddenly came over when she was about to leave. Concubine Lan didn't know what her purpose was.
"Very important." Lin Zhu nodded. There was firmness in his eyes.
"Okay then." Concubine Lan waved her hand, and the surrounding palace maids all went out in turn. Only Cui'er walked behind the most, and her eyes looked at Lin Zhu.
"Go down too." Lin Zhu didn't respond anything, and Concubine Lan had no choice but to let Cui'er go out as well.
"Alright. Now you can say it. "There were only two of them left in the huge room. Concubine Lan motioned for Lin Zhu to sit down.
"I want you to do this before I finish the reason. Don't get angry. Lin Zhu took a deep breath, she also needed courage to tell Concubine Lan such an incredible thing.
"If not too much. Hongu will endure. Concubine Lan nodded, thinking that if she came here so late and had to clear the scene, there would definitely be something that touched the bottom line.
So Lin Zhu had the courage to ask a question about Concubine Lan's monthly letter.
"Nonsense, what are you asking for?" Even if it is Concubine Lan, this kind of thing will not be known to others at will. After all, such things are considered ominous in this day and age.
"Niangniang has been sad about the matter of the heir, I have a small proposal, I need to know the specific date of the mother." Since he decided to say it, Lin Zhu simply said it all.
But this can be regarded as revealing Concubine Lan's scars, and her face suddenly became very ugly. "Do you even want to ridicule this palace?!" They were in the same boat, Lin Zhu said this, Concubine Lan was very puzzled.
However, Concubine Lan, who was very annoyed at this time, didn't think about Lin Zhu's intention to say this. "Although my father loves you, this palace can still punish you, understand?" Concubine Lan's words were very harsh.
"I know that Niangniang will be very angry when she says this, but Niangniang doesn't seem to have given up on having her own heir, so please listen to me." Lin Zhu did not flinch because of Concubine Lan's anger.
"Okay," Concubine Lan took a deep breath and forced the anger in her chest down. "Say, Hongu listens."
She wanted to see what good proposals Lin Zhu, a girl who had not yet come out of the cabinet, could give her, if it was the old-fashioned words of those imperial doctors, then don't blame herself for punishing her.
"Do you think that three or four days before and after the monthly letter is the best time to conceive?" Lin Zhu's face was still calm.
"Isn't it?" Concubine Lan sneered, isn't this an obvious thing? Any imperial doctor knows that she has not forgotten that Lin Zhu's side is the existence of Dr. Zhang.
"It's not." Lin Zhu shook her head, but looking at Concubine Lan's somewhat unbelieving eyes, she continued, "If Niangniang is accurate every month, then the fourteenth day before the next month's monthly letter is the most suitable time." ”
Lin Zhu suddenly put forward a point of view that was diametrically opposed to his previous experience, Concubine Lan thought it was too funny, could it be that the imperial doctor was not even as good as her little girl?
"Niang thinks I'm joking?" Lin Zhuzhi said that she would not believe it at first. "I'm sure I've made a lot of attempts, and some of them won't be too pleasant, but they've been fruitless, haven't they?" Although he didn't want to sprinkle salt on her wound anymore, in order for her to accept this attempt, Lin Zhu had no choice but to do so.
"It's not an immediate success, it will take three or four months or even half a year. Of course, this does not require the mother to drink any decoction, as long as the body is carefully conditioned. ”
"It's as simple as that?" How could Concubine Lan believe that how many medicines she had taken before, how much she had suffered, and what she had suffered without success, could be solved by just changing a date, isn't this a fantasy?
"It's not easy." Lin Zhu shook her head solemnly, if it was in her previous life, if she had tools to help her measure the various data of her body, she would be able to know more accurately what her ovulation date was, but now she can only rely on inference, and the accuracy will definitely be greatly reduced.
"Hongu doesn't believe you." Concubine Lan felt that Lin Zhu's proposal was too incredible, and she also understood that there was no need to hide it when talking to Lin Zhu.
"I know it." Lin Zhu nodded as a matter of course, but it made Concubine Lan's heart flash with appreciation. "However, there is nothing to lose from this attempt, so you might as well give it a try."
"Niangniang should believe that I am not the one who wants you to never have an heir." Lin Zhu's words reminded Concubine Lan in a timely manner.
She was a little moved, and she had been asking for a child for many years to no avail, which made her sad and sad, although she still had the emperor's favor, but who knew that when she was old and had no heirs to accompany her, there would be such a time?
Just like Lin Zhu said, try it and have no loss.
Seeing that Concubine Lan was moved, Lin Zhu took the opportunity to explain some precautions, and said, "If Niangniang thinks that this kind of thing is not easy to say, it is okay to pay attention to it in private." ”
In fact, Concubine Lan has this intention in her heart, if this matter spreads, some people in the palace who are not in harmony with her will definitely jump out to see her jokes. If you succeed, it's okay to say, but if you fail, you will really lose face.
"This palace will believe you for the time being." Concubine Lan seems to have made up her mind, and the attraction of the heir is too great.
"Niangniang is doing well in the palace, and I will be fine outside, so I won't hurt Niangniang." Lin Zhu also relaxed, exhaled slightly, and couldn't help wiping the sweat on his head with his hands.
When Concubine Lan saw her like this, she smiled, "It turns out that you also know that you are nervous?" She thought that Lin Zhu was sure to convince herself to speak so bluntly.
"Niangniang smiled, fortunately Niangniang was generous, if it was someone else, it was estimated that I would be dragged out of the board to play the board." Lin Zhu shrugged his shoulders and made a little joke.
"Alright, call them back, they must be in a hurry." Concubine Lan said softly. "You go back and rest, it's not too early."
Lin Zhu bowed, and left in the surprised eyes of the palace maid beside Concubine Lan.
"Girl, what did you say to Concubine Lan?" Aunt Chang saw that she had been gone for a long time, and asked with some concern.
"It's a secret, and maybe soon, you'll find out." Lin Zhu sold Guanzi. Back in his room, Lin Zhu felt that his legs were a little weak, fortunately, Concubine Lan was attracted by the proposal just now, and didn't ask herself why she knew this. Otherwise, if you don't know how to answer the question, it will be bad.
"Aunt Chang, is there any way to make Concubine Lan only eat the food produced in our Zhuangzi?" Lin Zhu suddenly had an idea in his mind. At the beginning, after Aunt Li's eldest daughter-in-law Liu Qiucui gave birth to a child, she deliberately looked for herself, saying that it was because she generously let Aunt Li pick some vegetables in the garden and cook them for her, so she successfully had a child.
Lin Zhu didn't care about it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, because of the particularity of the space, he can't let Concubine Lan give it a try.
It is estimated that there is no need to convince Concubine Lan, she will also take the initiative to cooperate. The ingredients in Lin Zhu Zhuangzi are good things that even the emperor admires.
Although Lin Zhu and Concubine Lan both tacitly kept last night's conversation a secret, they still attracted the attention of some people, and some people kept knocking on the side to find out the content of the conversation between them.
But all of them were prevaricated by the two. Even after the emperor learned about it, Concubine Lan only vaguely used her daughter's family as a reason for some caution.
Lin Zhu and Concubine Lan were both nervously waiting, waiting for the success or failure of this attempt.
However, when Lin Zhu was leaving, he secretly told Concubine Lan that she must be in a good mood, and too much pressure will not have a good impact on this aspect.
I'm sorry everyone, but the third watch was an hour late. I solemnly apologize to everyone, tomorrow is still the third watch. (To be continued......)
