Chapter 369
In view of Lin Zhu's blessing, the emperor once again asked her to stay in the palace for a few days in order to accompany Concubine Lan, who had just become pregnant.
As we all know, Concubine Lan is the only one in her maiden family, and Concubine Lan is an elderly pregnant woman, so Lin Zhu's re-entry into the palace to accompany her is very acceptable, of course, there are many people who take it for granted.
The treatment that other concubines can enjoy when they are pregnant, Concubine Lan has all of them, and they are all over the place. It has also aroused all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred of many concubines.
"Gross." Concubine Lan, who was having lunch with Lin Zhu, suddenly became angry. There are all kinds of delicacies on the table, as long as she smells the smell, she can't help but retch.
"Let's go." After rinsing her mouth with water, Concubine Lan asked her to withdraw half of the meal.
"Niangniang, you are too bad, do you want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look?" A proposal that the maid of the palace cares about.
"No need." Concubine Lan waved her hand weakly, "It looks the same." "Since I found out that I was pregnant, the imperial doctor came to ask for a pulse every day, and the symptoms of Xixi were not under their control, and for the sake of safety during pregnancy, they could not use drugs indiscriminately, so they couldn't do anything about it.
Moreover, Lin Zhu specially asked Dr. Zhang to write some precautions during pregnancy for Concubine Lan, so if it is not necessary, she will no longer take those tonics.
"Niangniang, is there anything you want to eat right now?" Lin Zhu also asked people to remove all the food on their tables. Walked up to Concubine Lan and asked the palace people to serve a glass of white water. Put it in front of her.
"Those big fish and meat, this palace doesn't want to eat them, and they are disgusting when they see them." Concubine Lan's eyes were blank, her stomach was empty, but she had no appetite at all, and because she vomited all the food just now, her throat was still slightly painful, so her speech was also a little hoarse. "If you have fresh cucumbers or something, I'd like to eat some."
Not only cucumbers, like some fresh vegetables and stuff like that. Concubine Lan wants to eat. It's just almost November. It's cold, and it's hard to find. Even the Imperial Palace can't conjure things out of season.
Lin Zhu nodded because of vomiting. There is no taste in the mouth. It is also common sense to eat something light. She had also heard that what pregnant people eat changes and that it is normal to pick and choose.
The palace people on the side were very embarrassed, and they really wanted the master to have more food. It's just that the season is really wrong.
"There should still be some greens and the like on the Zhuangzi, do you want someone to send some over?" Originally, Concubine Lan had been eating ingredients sent by the General's Mansion. But later, because of the dissatisfaction of many concubines, Concubine Lan didn't want people to say that she was pampered and coquettish, so she didn't let her send it again after she became pregnant.
Now that she is so uncomfortable, before she became pregnant, her still round cheeks couldn't lose weight, for the sake of her and the health of the fetus in her womb, Lin Zhu mentioned this matter again.
Concubine Lan was also a little moved, although the ingredients on Lin Zhu Zhuangzi were very ordinary, and the imperial dining room also had them, but they tasted better than the ingredients sent by Huangzhuang.
"Miss Bamboo, it would be best if you could send it to yourself. I love what you send. Before Concubine Lan nodded, the personal palace maid on the side spoke eagerly.
The people around Concubine Lan naturally knew that the things sent by Lin Zhu were good, and since the stop, they had been wronged for Concubine Lan for a long time. However, because the imperial dining room also picked up good things and sent them over, I didn't complain.
However, since Concubine Lan was bitter, they remembered the ingredients sent by Lin Zhu again. Now that Lin Zhu mentioned it again, of course he hoped that Concubine Lan would agree.
Seeing that Concubine Lan was a little embarrassed, Lin Zhu could also understand her difficulties. is a maverick in the palace, and it is the most eye-catching. Although because of the emperor's favor, concubines are competing with each other, but if one person goes too far, it will attract the collective jealousy or resentment of others.
Therefore, this kind of thing that offends the anger of the public, for the newly pregnant Concubine Lan, it is better not to provoke it easily.
Seeing that Concubine Lan was hesitant, Lin Zhu did not persuade further, but she had her own plans in her heart.
News came from the General's Mansion that the first batch of out-of-season vegetables on the Zhuyuan Hot Spring Zhuangzi in Song County were already on the way, and they would arrive in the capital in a few days.
On the one hand, this batch of vegetables should be supplied to Zuixianlou, which is also what Mu Qiyue and Lin Zhu talked about. In order to take the lead in this food appreciation meeting, Mu Qiyue had already said hello after knowing that Lin Zhu had such a Zhuangzi.
Of course, these vegetables can't all be supplied to the Drunken Immortal Building, and Lin Zhu also set aside some of them to be sent to the General's Mansion.
Concubine Lan's pregnancy was an unexpected surprise, and General Chang was overjoyed and collected a lot of good things, all of which were intended for his unborn grandson. Now that Concubine Lan wants to eat some fresh vegetables because of her bad mouth, General Chang will needless to say that he will be willing to give this batch of vegetables to Concubine Lan first.
Of course, if you want this batch of out-of-season vegetables to enter the palace, you must first get permission from the emperor. Only in this way will the concubines in the harem have no objections. But Concubine Lan is obviously not suitable to make this easily criticized request in person.
And although Lin Zhu knew that the Emperor Dao's attitude towards her was quite gentle, she was not arrogant and thought that she would ask for this favor, and he would readily agree. This still needs to be brought up by someone who the emperor will not be angry.
Of course, this candidate has Mu Qiyue, who has a request for Lin Zhu. The emperor is also very concerned about the food appreciation meeting, and from time to time he will ask Mu Qiyue to enter the palace to report the situation. So Mu Qiyue had the opportunity to help Concubine Lan ask for this favor.
Vegetables, which should not have appeared in this season, suddenly appeared, and they were served at food tastings, and of course the emperor would be interested.
There are many precious flowers and trees in the palace, and they will naturally be carefully served in winter. Therefore, a conservatory will be built in the palace to protect some delicate flowers and trees for winter.
With this experience, it is natural to use it in growing vegetables. However, the cost of a conservatory is too great to be built on a large scale, even in the palace.
Therefore, in the cold season every year, the out-of-season vegetables that can be harvested in the palace are really limited, except for the emperor and queen who can occasionally eat some, other people do not have this honor.
So even Concubine Lan, who finally got pregnant, because her identity was too far from the queen, she didn't have any reason for these.
I heard that there are a large number of fresh vegetables, how can the emperor not be curious?
"Back to the emperor, these are all grown on a hot spring village." Mu Qiyue is also responsible for answering questions. He explained to the emperor in detail how to use the geothermal heat next to the hot springs to grow some out-of-season vegetables. In the end, he also proposed, "The emperor might as well let the people in Huangzhuang try it too." ”
Of course, there is no need for him to remind him, the emperor also has this thought after listening to his words. (To be continued......)
