Chapter 204: Embarrassment
Mama Tian happily received the will and went back, now she only thinks that her status has improved a lot, and she thinks that she doesn't talk about it when she manages her mouth, which is not simple, but I heard that because of this incident, she sometimes beats her mouth, just because she has nothing to do, she wants to tell the fifth elder brother or other people what she has seen and heard in the harem, of course, this is also a later story.
"The concubine asks the queen mother to say goodbye, and the queen mother is a thousand years old."
The New Year's Festival is coming soon, so it turns out to be the time of the beginning of spring, Ning Guiren also came out of the confinement, together to the queen to say goodbye, the queen today is dressed in a graceful and luxurious golden yellow flag suit, the embroidery on it is gold thread, although she likes to advocate thrift on weekdays, but when it comes to the time to compete for beauty every year, she will still dress up, do not wear it on weekdays, just collect it: "Sisters, free of ceremony, although the snow is not thick this winter, but there is still some spring cold, pay attention to keep warm, don't be infected with the wind cold." ”
"The queen mother works hard for the concubines, and she should also pay attention to her body and don't overwork." Du Changzai has always been the first to shoot the queen's ass, which is nothing, originally people chose to follow the queen's team, but this Fei nobleman Hua Ying is becoming more and more incomprehensible, obviously feeling that it is the queen's side, but always feels that there is some conspiracy.
"Doing things for the harem sisters, there is no hard work, everything this palace should do." The queen said dignified and generous: "Concubine Yun is about to give birth, how is her body now?"
"The imperial doctor said that the fetus is healthy, and the concubine is relieved, and the queen is still worried about it, which is also the blessing of the concubine." Hua Ying is also down-and-out and generous, but she understands in her heart that the sooner she is about to give birth, the more she can't take it lightly, these women have many means, and if you are not careful, something may happen.
"That's good, the emperor has been looking forward to your birth, and so is the palace, I hope this is a healthy prince, and in the future, he can share the emperor's worries with the fifth elder brother." What the queen said made the other concubines can't help but look at Hua Ying's belly, this fetus is said to be a daughter, everyone knows it, but last time someone said that Concubine Yun was a female doll in her belly, and it turned out to be a boy, if it is still a boy this time, it will become the only concubine in the harem with two boys, even if it is not the master of the middle palace, there will always be a great threat.
Concubine Jiang was cold and cold during this time, and she didn't take these things to heart, only when the queen said this matter, she glanced at Hua Ying: "Sister Concubine Yun has always said that this belly is a girl, and the queen mother should not say that this is a boy, so as not to make Sister Concubine Yun unhappy." ”
"Why did Sister Concubine Jiang say this, whether it is a man or a woman, the queen is treated as her own child, and the concubine is the same, how can she be angry with the queen." Hua Ying smiled and quietly refuted Concubine Jiang, Concubine Jiang is worried about her son's affairs and is in the mood to find someone else's affairs, and her attitude is not bad.
"Yes, that's my sister, I said it wrong, my sister is just giving birth, don't think about it." Concubine Jiang no longer argued with Hua Ying, and she didn't know what to think.
Xiang nobles saw that Ning Concubine's position had moved to front of him, and he was unhappy, and he first wanted to embarrass Ning Concubine: "Oh, Ning Guiren is also here, no, now it's Ning Concubine Niangniang, I don't know how Ning Concubine Niangniang's body is raised?" The fifth princess is not congenitally weak, but is it okay?"
"The fifth princess is indeed a little weaker, but the people in the hospital are concerned, and it has been okay recently, but it is difficult for the Hunan nobles to still think about the five princesses." The emperor didn't name the five princesses, but when the moon was full, he asked the Ministry of Rites to choose a few words and send them over, all of which had similar meanings, and Ning Guiren chose a good word and named Wen Jia, but the five princesses were indeed too weak and sick, and she didn't toss her less this month, she felt uncomfortable this month, especially in her heart, she felt that this was a daughter, not as good as a brother, and she was irritable, it is estimated that this is why Jiaqi did not dare to tell Ning Guiren the truth, and she also cared about her body.
"Of course, I have to worry about the five princesses, after all, the five princesses have a good lady like Ning Concubine Niangniang, and the concubines also want to see what kind of demeanor the five princesses have when they grow up, whether they are also the same as Ning Concubine Niangniang, so shrewd that they can't do it." Xiang Guiren looked at her like this, knowing that she hadn't heard that her robbery was already well known in the palace, so she said even more sarcastically.
"The Hunan nobles said this, and the palace doesn't understand whether you are praising the palace or ridiculing the palace, the palace and the Hunan nobles have no grievances, why do you want to talk like this?" Concubine Ning frowned, not realizing that she had lost her adult.
"Yes, Concubine Ning and Concubine have no grievances or hatred, it stands to reason that this should also be Concubine Yun's words."
Xiang Guiren's words made Ning Concubine realize that something was wrong, she looked at Hua Ying, but Hua Ying had no expression, and didn't even give her a look, she wanted to let the emperor surprise Ning Concubine, but she didn't expect Xiang Guiren to be so unbearable and mention this stubble.
"Dare to ask Concubine Yun, what did the concubine offend you?"
"It's a joke." Concubine Jing looked at her pretending to be stupid: "Concubine Ning really regards the affairs of the eldest princess and the queen mother as her own?" This is obviously what Concubine Yun mentioned to the emperor, but the concubine couldn't understand it, how could the queen mother misunderstand that Concubine Ning was the one who helped the queen mother? It is estimated that Concubine Ning herself and the Queen Mother said this, and the Queen Mother misunderstood. ”
Concubine Ning's face turned pale all of a sudden, how could they know, and they knew, it means that the Queen Mother and the eldest princess have also figured out the truth of the matter, so how should she face the Queen Mother and the eldest princess? Still not giving up, Concubine Ning pretended to be calm and said, "...... It turned out that this matter was Concubine Yun's filial piety to the Queen Mother, and the concubines are only now clear, so that the Queen Mother misunderstood, the four concubines are not, and I apologize to Niangniang here. ”
"It's not an important thing, Concubine Ning doesn't have to explain to the palace, let's think about how to talk to the Queen Mother in two days, the Queen Mother finally has such an opportunity to meet the eldest princess, treat you as a benefactor, and it is estimated that it has also given you a lot of benefits, you have to return it all." Hua Ying seems to be smiling, the key to the matter is not herself, but the Queen Mother.
"What Sister Concubine Yun said is that the concubine will definitely explain it to the Queen Mother and the eldest princess in the future." Concubine Ning didn't know that this time she was greedy for a small amount of money but accidentally suffered a big loss, her impression of the Queen Mother would definitely plummet, she didn't know how to remedy it, she just turned pale and was thinking about countermeasures.
After everyone left, Xinyu whispered at the base of the queen's ear: "Niangniang, that Mama Tian doesn't know what's going on, and suddenly she can't get in the oil and salt, not only does she not listen to the gossip that those slaves and maids deliberately passed on in the past, but even the other grandmothers also follow together, avoiding it like a flood of beasts, why does Niangniang think so?"
"Why? What else can there be, that Concubine Yun is very smart, maybe she found out something, she is really a shrewd woman to the end, but this palace will not be afraid of her. "Today's Hua Ying's flattery The queen is also in the left ear and out of the right ear, what the queen didn't expect is that Hua Ying really didn't think about it over there, she just thought it was Mama Tian's own problem, and it turned out to be the queen's command Xinyu, in fact, there is nothing difficult, Mama Tian is originally a person with soft ears, and what people say is what she says, but she was scared by Hua Ying so hard that she couldn't listen to anything all of a sudden, and Xinyu naturally could detect it.
"I didn't expect that Concubine Yun would be able to find and crack it even in such a side-knocking way, she is really not a simple person, so what does Niangniang want to do next?"
"Since this method is useless, there is no need to go to great lengths to do it, this palace will take a look at what can crawl out of Concubine Yun's belly, this time the palace has a long memory, let the imperial doctor inquire, and said that it is basically a girl." Although it was both male and female, it was better than two boys, and the queen comforted herself to accept such a reality.
"What Niangniang said is that last time it was a slave who was not good, and she neglected to supervise for a while, so Concubine Yun gave birth to the fifth elder brother." Xinyu regarded it as her duty to eradicate the queen's dissidents, so she almost gritted her teeth.
The queen glanced at her, knowing that she was for her own good, she didn't say anything, and then rubbed her temples, although she gave a lot of power to other concubines, but most of them were done by herself, and she had spent a lot of energy in the past few days: "Go and bring a bowl of soothing soup to the palace, these days are really haggard, and you have to guard against those foxes." ”
Because the emperor is busy with government affairs, he doesn't have how to enter the harem these days, even if he comes to the harem, most of them are to see Concubine Yun and the child, and there are almost no other people's affairs, and the queen thinks that it is because the emperor was afraid last time, and it will be fine when Hua Ying gives birth to the child, but later it turned out that she was a big mistake.
Hua Ying helped the Queen Mother and didn't steal the limelight of her, the queen, at least the queen thinks so, it should be her serious daughter-in-law who helps the Queen Mother, not the concubine, but it's a pity that she didn't do it herself, so she can't complain about others.
"How do you feel today?" The emperor came to Jingyang Palace early in the morning, Hua Ying was in labor, and the emperor was also nervous, and he had not felt such a mood for a long time.
Hua Ying was also accustomed to the emperor's kindness to herself, and originally planned to help the emperor make a cup of tea with her own hands, but she was stopped: "Your Majesty, the concubine is very healthy, not so squeamish, but she is not allowed to make a cup of tea for the emperor, and he said before that he would cook some food for the emperor, and the emperor also specially asked Li Quan to come over to stop the concubine, what is the emperor's intention?"
"Ying'er has started to play right and wrong again, I am good to you, you always think that I am harming you, this is not good."
"Then the emperor will be kind to the concubines, and the concubines will probably be able to understand what the emperor means." The two talked and laughed, fortunately, the fifth elder brother was not sensible, otherwise he would have been sour by this scene.
As he was talking, Qingxu entered the house and said apologetically: "I'm disturbing the emperor and Niangniang, it's just that Niangniang should drink fetal pills now, if you miss the time, I'm afraid it's not good." ”
"Bring it up." With a wave of his hand, the emperor took the medicine bowl, and looking at the posture of feeding Hua Ying, Qingxu planned to retreat without disturbing the two of them, but only after testing the poison with a silver needle, he leaned over and retreated.
"The emperor is so kind to his concubines." Hua Ying drank the last mouthful of the bitter decoction, and the emperor fed a piece of honey and said, "But the emperor, what name do you want to give our daughter?" ”
"The princess's character is Wen, what name does Ying'er think of?" The emperor asked Hua Ying rhetorically.
"Concubines often think about this problem, think about it, and feel that they can't come up with a great name."
