Xiao Ningzi didn't dare to say more, kowtowed and retreated, and after the door was closed again, Nala said to Liu, who had never spoken: "Sister, don't listen to that slave's nonsense, Concubine Xi has always loved her sister, how could she collude with Yingchun, this must be a misunderstanding." ”

Liu smiled falsely, "The concubine knows the way." ”

After talking for a while, the Nala clan got up and said, "After talking for so long, I guess the noble man is also tired, and this palace will come to see you another day." ”

Liu hurriedly bowed on the bed and said, "The concubine respectfully sends the mother." ”

Nala nodded and was about to leave, but suddenly turned around and said with a smile on his face: "By the way, this palace just heard that after returning to the palace this time, the emperor will teach the fourth elder brother to review the folds, which has never happened in this dynasty." The Holy Emperor's grace received by the fourth elder brother is really thick and unmatched; Maybe only when the two elder brothers of the humble people grow up, can they be compared. ”

Liu Shi was stunned for a moment and replied: "Niangniang said that she laughed, the concubine's children have ordinary qualifications, how can they be compared with the fourth elder brother." ”

"The humble people are too modest, this palace looks at these two children although they are still young, but they are full of cleverness, and they will definitely not lose to the fourth elder brother in the future, I don't know who is the one who has the most sacred heart, this palace is very curious."

Liu understood the metaphor in Nala's words, but he couldn't speak well, so he could only smile.

After Nala took a deep look at her, he left the inner room, and Xiao Ningzi stood outside, and when he saw Nala coming out, he hurriedly greeted her and helped her hand. After leaving the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, Nala suddenly spoke, "You answered very well just now. ”

"Thank you for the compliment." Xiao Ningzi lowered his head and said, "The slave is only afraid that the humble and noble people will not believe it easily." ”

There are dead branches on the ground that have not been swept away, and the shoes on the bottom of the flower pot make a thin sound when stepped on, "Liu naturally won't believe it easily, as long as she has a trace of doubt in her heart, it is enough." Her eyes narrowed, and a cold light was flickering, "Concubine Xi thinks that she has been favored by the emperor, so she can not put this palace in her eyes, it is simply wishful thinking, in front of this palace, she can only be a loser forever." "Although Yingchun has never said who is the main one for her, there is no doubt that anyone in the harem will dare to go against her except Concubine Xi.

Xiao Ningzi sneered: "The master is very right, Concubine Xi, the clown who jumps off the beam, can't make a big deal. ”

Let's say that the Liu family, after the Nala clan left, sank his face and didn't speak, until Haitang came in with the medicine, and then said coldly: "Jin Gu, what do you think about this?" ”

Jin Gu whispered: "Those words, the queen mother obviously intended to say them to the master. ”

Liu nodded slowly and said, "I also know this, I just can't estimate how true or false her words are." It stands to reason that I respect and please Concubine Xi in every way, and she has no reason to harm my child. ”

Jin Gu pondered: "People are unpredictable, although the queen has bad intentions, but who can guarantee that Concubine Xi is a good stubble, and those who can survive in the harem must have some means and ruthlessness, let alone Concubine Xi's position." ”

After handing the medicine to Liu, Haitang walked up to Aunt Jin and whispered, "Auntie, what's wrong?" ”

Jin Gu shook her head and motioned her not to ask more, and after being silent for a while, Liu said in a low voice: "What you said also makes some sense, my two children were born, and the most affected ones were the sons of the queen and Concubine Xi, one is the nominal eldest son, and the other is the emperor's favorite elder brother." The queen just said that the queen wanted to teach the fourth elder brother to review and approve the folds, but the implication was that the emperor intended to teach the fourth elder brother the way of kingship? But the fourth elder brother is not yet an adult, even if the sacred heart is biased, it will not be ......" Liu's eyes flickered, and he still had doubts about this.

Jin Gu lowered her voice and said: "Master, such a big matter, the queen should not say anything, it should be true." And when you think about it, in addition to the title of the eldest son, the second elder brother is indeed far less suitable for the position of prince than the fourth elder brother. ”

Liu Shi thought deeply about this, and said: "From this point of view, Concubine Xi should be even more reluctant for me to give birth to these two children." ”

"Therefore, she will do everything she can to prevent her master from giving birth to a child, including by the hand of Yingchun." Jin Gu said her speculation in a deep voice, "Although this is just speculation, the slave maid thinks that it is very possible, and the master must be careful of Concubine Xi in the future." ”

"I know it." After keeping this matter in his heart, Liu Shi turned to say, "By the way, what is the situation of the little brother?" ”

Jin Gu knew which one she was asking, and said at the moment: "Imperial Doctor He said that it is not very good, although it looks good now, it is because there are ginseng and other medicinal materials to regulate the vitality, once the medicine is stopped or the vitality is exhausted, the little brother will ......" She paused for a moment, and said with some difficulty: "So the master must make plans in advance, so as not to be caught off guard." ”

Every time Liu asked, he looked forward to hearing the good news, but every time he ended in disappointment, thinking that his child would soon die, the hatred in his heart became higher and higher, whether it was the queen or Concubine Xi, they all had bad intentions and were as poisonous as snakes and scorpions.

"Master, Gonggong Su by the emperor's side is here." The voice of the palace maid sounded outside the door.

Liu Shi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Invite him in." ”

Not long after the palace maid responded, Su Peisheng walked in, and behind him were several little eunuchs holding red lacquer trays, which were covered with red silk, so they couldn't see what was placed in front of them. To Liu's surprise, Shu Mulu was among them.

Su Peisheng slapped a thousand children with a smile on his face, "The slave greets the humble people, and the humble people are auspicious." ”

"Father-in-law Su is exempt." After saying this, Liu turned his gaze to Shu Mulu, who was silent with a smile, and stretched out his hand and said, "How could my sister come here with Grandpa Su?" ”

Shu Mulu took a few steps forward, took Liu's hand and said, "I just sent a snack to the emperor, and I happened to see the emperor send a reward from Father-in-law Su, thinking that I hadn't come to see you today, so I came with me." ”

"My sister has a heart." Liu gratefully clenched Shu Mulu's slightly cool hand, and then looked at Su Peisheng, who understood, and ordered the little eunuch holding the tray to step forward and lift the red silk on it, and put a ginseng as thick as a child's arm on each of the two trays, and the other two were colorful jewelry, among which a pair of mutton fat white jade concentric lotus flowers decorated with pearls were the most eye-catching.

Su Peisheng smiled and said: "The emperor said that these two branches of ginseng are used to replenish the body of the nobles, and the jewelry is kept for the nobles to play with at will." ”

After handing over the tray to Haitang and the others, Su Peisheng said: "If the noble man has no orders, the slave will retire first." ”
