In the blink of an eye, another month passed, and the weather was getting colder and colder, but the sky was still clear every day, and there was not even a hint of gloom, which made people restless.

Xu Hanyan has been pregnant for nearly five months, her belly is obviously bulging, since she was handed over to the imperial doctor for conditioning, the imperial doctor naturally did not dare to slack off, and did his best every day, and really took care of her properly.

Before, because of the words of the imperial doctor, Duanmu Youning was also very worried about the child in Zhen Ruxue's belly, so he didn't dare to have too much hope for that child, so he naturally paid more attention to Xu Hanyan, so although he was no longer in charge of conditioning himself, he always asked the queen mother whenever he went to ask for peace.

Today is the case again, seeing the two of them coming in one after the other, and sitting on the side after giving a salute, she asked with a smile: "Concubine Xian, Concubine Liang, how are you doing?

Zhen Ruxue reluctantly spoke: "The concubine is very good, and Queen Lao is worried." ”

"It's good to be a concubine, thank you to the queen. Xu Hanyan followed and spoke.

Although the two are also pregnant, their mental state is simply one heaven and one underground. Xu Han's face was full of smoke and red, and his eyebrows were stretched, although he looked a little bulky because of the protrusion of his abdomen, he had more of a layer of maternal brilliance, which was more beautiful and moving than usual.

On the other hand, Zhen Ruxue not only has a flat abdomen, but also has a pale complexion, dry lips, and blank eyes, as if she has just returned from a trip to hell, not to mention what motherhood is not motherhood. It's no wonder that Duanmu is eccentric, but I'm afraid that anyone else will pin more hopes on Xu Hanyan's children.

After a few more words, Min Xinrou said with a smile: "Now that Concubine Xian and Concubine Liang are pregnant, Concubine Shu and Concubine De should also work hard, for our royal family, more children and more blessings!"

Ke Yuyao lowered her head and smiled bitterly, while Mo Yaxi secretly gritted her teeth, but both of them were silent on their faces, and bowed down together and agreed: "Yes, the concubine respectfully obeys the teachings of the Queen Mother." ”

Min Xinrou nodded with a smile: "So you all go back and rest, Youning, the mourning family has a few words to say to you." ”

Everyone got up and left, and Min Xinrou said with a flickering eye: "Youning, the mourning family has been staring at Concubine Xian all the time, and shaking her head from time to time, is there something wrong with her child?"

Duanmu Youning couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that he had leaked so many flaws, it seemed that Min Xinru was a bright-eyed person: "The queen mother forgives her sins, and the son feels that the situation of the virtuous concubine is only afraid that something is not right." ”

Min Xinrou frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"

Duanmu Youning replied: "Erchen has already told the queen mother before, and I have always been worried that she will not protect the fetus due to emotional instability, but after a period of conditioning, she should have temporarily survived the crisis. However, now it seems that Erchen is worried that the child will be congenitally deficient, because Concubine Xian's belly is smaller than the actual month. ”

Min Xinrou's brows furrowed even tighter: "Even so, what can be done? These things can only be done by herself, and others can't help at all." I hope she can try to adjust herself for the sake of the child. ”

Duanmu Youning nodded: "That's all." ”

However, Min Xinrou quickly became happy again: "Youning, don't worry, even if her child can't be counted on, isn't there still a good concubine?

Duanmu Youning nodded, I don't know what I thought, my consciousness drifted a little, and I said unconsciously: "Well, Concubine Liang's child is indeed very healthy, but unfortunately, it's a baby girl......

When Min Xinrou heard this, she was taken aback: "What did you say? baby girl?

Duanmu came back to his senses suddenly, and only then did he know what he had just said, and his face couldn't help but change slightly.

"Say it quickly!" Min Xinrou urged, "Do you see that Concubine Liang is pregnant with a baby girl? Didn't you say that the time is too short, and you can't tell the men and women?

Now that she had heard it clearly, Duanmu Youning knew that he couldn't deny it, so he had to smile bitterly and said, "Yes, Erchen doesn't dare to deceive the queen mother." Yesterday, Erchen just tested the pulse of Concubine Liang, and the pulse showed that she was indeed pregnant with a baby girl. ”

If she didn't dare to say so sure from the pulse alone, because she was anxious to end the drought as soon as possible, she unconsciously used her divine eye to identify it, and found that Xu Hanyan was a baby girl in her womb, which disappointed her.

Never doubting Duanmu Youning's medical skills, Min Xinrou's disappointment was even more undisguised: "It turned out to be a baby girl, no wonder the drought didn't end because she was pregnant, according to this, Concubine Xue Xian's womb is also a baby girl?"

"This son-in-law doesn't dare to assert anything," Duanmu Youning shook his head, "Concubine Xuexian's body has always been regulated by the imperial doctor, and the son-in-law has never tested her pulse, so he can't judge men and women. ”

Min Xinrou was silent for a moment, shook her head and said: "The mourning family thinks that it must be, if she is pregnant with a prince, the drought may have ended long ago, what can I do? It seems that Yun'er has to continue to work hard! Maybe Concubine Shu and Concubine De can give birth to a baby boy?"

An uncomfortable feeling passed through Duanmu Youning's heart, but there was not much change on his face: "I hope so." ”

However, Min Xinrou was from the past after all, and she sensed something from her almost undulating tone, and immediately smiled bitterly: "Youning, the mourning family knows that you feel uncomfortable when you hear such words, but for the sake of the entire Yulin Country, we have already done our part, we can't give up halfway, right?"

Duanmu Youning smiled: "Erchen knows, please rest assured." Erchen also hopes that the prince will be born as soon as possible and end everything now, otherwise it will ......"

Otherwise, she didn't say, but both of them knew it. The food they had asked for from the other two countries was running out, and if it didn't rain again, should they continue to ask for help? Even if they did, no one else would necessarily agree.

After a while, Duanmu Youning suddenly said: "Queen Mother, the Empress Mother should not tell anyone for the time being when the Erchen finds out that Concubine Liang is pregnant with a baby girl, otherwise if the Erchen makes a mistake, I am afraid that it will cause some unnecessary trouble." ”

"This mourning family naturally knows, don't worry," Min Xinrou nodded, "Before the child is born, the mourning family will definitely keep their mouths shut." ”

After Duanmu Youning left, Min Xinrou began to think about countermeasures. Recently, Tanglin Guyun no longer spent the night in any of the concubines' bedrooms, and she naturally understood what that meant. Because she knew that from the beginning to the end, Tanglin Guyun had never moved any of them, and he only had Duanmu Youning in his heart, sharing the bed with the other four, just for a child, since he had been pregnant by two people in a row, he would naturally not force his mind anymore.

Originally, she didn't want to embarrass Donglin Guyun, but now Concubine Liang is pregnant with a baby girl, and Concubine Xian's child doesn't know if she can be born smoothly, even if she is afraid, she will be congenitally deficient, which means that the two of them can't count on it for the time being, and they must rely on Concubine Shu and Concubine De to conceive a dragon fetus as soon as possible.

Having made up her mind, when Tanglin Guyun came to greet her, she retreated, and said with a solemn expression: "Yun'er, the mourning family has a very important matter to discuss with you. ”

Tanglin Guyun nodded: "Yes, please speak to the queen mother." ”

Min Xinrou looked at him and first went around in a circle: "Yun'er, the mourning family heard that you have never been close to any concubine since you returned to the palace, but is it true?"

Tanglin Guyun's eyes froze: "What did Youning say?"

"No," Min Xinrou shook her head, "I'm afraid that everyone in the palace will know about this, so why should she tell the mourning family?"

Tanglin Guyun pursed his lips and smiled: "In that case, what else does the queen mother ask?"

Min Xinrou frowned: "The mourning family wants to tell you that you can't do this." ”

"Why can't it?" Tanglin Guyun looked at her lightly, "Xu Hanyan and Ru Xue are both pregnant, and the task of the son is complete. ”

"That's your opinion," Min Xinrou pondered her words, "In the eyes of the subjects, the drought is due to the curse of the Yulin Kingdom that has no successor, which means that this curse will not end unless the prince is born successfully." ”

"So what?" Tanglin Guyun frowned, "Even so, we have to wait until the day when the melon is ripe, right? As long as the October period expires, the child will naturally be born, so what's the use of the queen mother being anxious?"

"The mourning family is naturally anxious," Min Xinrou was anxious for a while, and blurted out the truth, "Even if the child is born, it is useless, how can the mourning family not be in a hurry?"

Immediately keenly aware of what she said, Tanglin Guyun looked back at her: "What does the queen mother mean by this, why is it useless even if a child is born?"

This matter can be hidden from the world, but there is no need to hide it from Donglin Guyun, it is Min Xinrou who hesitated a little and simply told the truth: "Yun'er, the mourning family told you, Concubine Liang is pregnant with a baby girl, Concubine Xian's child is afraid of congenital deficiencies, and I don't know if it can be born smoothly, we can't pin our hopes on them, we must work hard from Concubine Shu and Concubine De." ”

Tanglin Guyun's gaze became deeper and deeper: He believed that Ru Xue's child might be congenitally deficient, but why did the queen mother say that Concubine Liang was pregnant with a baby girl?

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately asked, "Could it be that Youning told you?" Except for her, I'm afraid that no one in this palace dares to say such a thing." ”

Min Xinrou had no choice but to nod: "Yes, it is indeed Youning, she said that when she tested the pulse of Concubine Liang yesterday, she found that she was pregnant with a baby girl, and it is precisely because of this that the curse has never ended." Yun'er, you have to continue!"

Tanglin Guyun didn't speak for a long time, but his face became more and more ugly, because at this moment, he suddenly felt that the four concubines were not tools for fertility, he was, and he, the emperor, was really a tool for fertility!

"Yun'er, did you hear what the mourning family was saying?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Min Xinrou gently pushed him uneasily, "If you want to give birth to a prince as quickly as possible, I'm afraid you have to rely on Concubine Shu and Concubine De, do you understand what the Mourning family means?"

"Erchen understands," Tanglin Guyun suddenly smiled coldly, "But what if the diagnosis of Youning is wrong?"
