Concubine Lian rubbed her eyebrows, thought of the pile of account books on the table that needed to be seen, and sighed, "Jinmi, hurry up and let someone move the account books over." ”

"Master, why don't you use some things first, the slave and maid came over with a bowl of bird's nest, saying that it was the best blood swallow that had just come up as a tribute, would you like to taste it?" Jin Mi waited carefully by Concubine Lian's side, always mentioning that his master had no tolerance.

"No, that thing doesn't like to be used in the palace, when the time comes, I'll give it to them when I see which one is pleasing to the eye, go, bring the account book." Concubine Lian let someone take off her armor, untie her heavy coat, put on a homely goose yellow dress, and only used a few hostas on her head to coil her hair, sipped her tea and prepared to start reading the account book.

Jin Mi was tidying up Concubine Lian's cabinet, and saw that the yellow color inside was gradually increasing, and it had changed from light goose yellow mixed with a few bright yellows, she bit her lip, afraid that her exclamation would reach Concubine Lian's ears, so she quickly closed the door of the cabinet, stroked her hair uncomfortably, coughed twice, and said: "Niangniang, you have to prepare clothes to go out tomorrow." ”

"Well, let's prepare it first, just the yellow one with peonies embroidered on it." Concubine Lian said without raising her head, Jinmi answered shallowly, took out the piece separately and prepared it, and saw that the master was looking hard, she took a cup of hot tea and put it in her hand, and stood quietly at the table grinding.

Unconsciously, it fell late into the night, Jin Mi rubbed her eyes, the candle in the house had been lit by a few little maids, and when she saw the spark flickering as if it was about to be extinguished, she quickly picked it with scissors.

"Jinmi, when is it?" As soon as Concubine Lian opened her mouth, she found that her voice was a little hoarse, she took a sip of water, her throat was dry, she didn't speak for a long time, and she was a little surprised when she spoke.

"Master, it's time, it's time for you to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow." Jin Mi looked at the account books that were still mostly piled up on the desk, and saw that Concubine Lian was still going to move, so she hurriedly persuaded her and said: "Niangniang, it's so late, don't look at it, it's not worth it when the time comes." ”

"I can't sleep anyway, so I might as well watch more, I'll finish reading it anyway." Concubine Lian raised her hand and wanted to take the account book again, but was persuaded by Jinmi with a bitter face: "Niangniang, you better rest, if the emperor knows that you are working so hard, he will definitely feel distressed." ”

"You girl, persuade people, persuade people, say what the emperor, he doesn't come to the harem now, how can you know that I am still reading the account book here late at night, it is really a lie." Concubine Lian nodded her forehead, Jin Mi touched her head that was a little painful, grinned, shook Concubine Lian's hand and said: "Niangniang will listen to the slave today, hurry up and go to sleep, others don't feel sorry for your body, the slave and the maid are very distressed." ”

"Okay, okay, let people get ready to wash, I happen to be tired, you persuade me again, this palace doesn't have to sleep today." As soon as she was relieved, Jinmi helped her to the dormitory, and she personally went to clean up the account books, sorted them all out and returned to Concubine Lian.

"Niangniang, the slave maid is on night duty outside today, and you will call the slave maid if you have anything." Jinmi put down the tent, looked at the looming body inside, held the last candle in the room, squeaked, the door was opened, and closed again.

The room was quiet, Concubine Lian felt a little uncomfortable, tossing and turning and some couldn't sleep, she sighed, there was a few hints of moonlight faintly at the window, and there was a direction of chasing in her eyes.

Rolling a few rounds, lying on her stomach and lying down, she didn't find a good posture, and there was no sleepiness in her eyes, she sat up with a rub, the queen was about to give birth, and when the time came, she had to return to the previous situation where no one cared for her, no, she had to think of a way.

Concubine Lian meditated hard, if she wanted to return everything she had enjoyed now, it would never be possible, it would be more uncomfortable for her than killing her.

Jin Mi outside heard a sound inside, walked to the side of the bed in a daze, and found that Concubine Lian was sitting upright, she was suddenly frightened awake, looked at her in a daze and said, "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" Can't sleep? ”

"Well, you go to sleep by yourself, Hongu will sleep when he gets tired." Concubine Lian didn't feel sleepy, her eyes were wide open, and there was a little anxiety in her heart, pressing her temples, rubbing the swollen and painful acupuncture points on both sides of her eyes, and after a while, she let out a soothing whimper, just because Jinmi was already kneeling behind her, and her hands were gently kneading for her.

"Niangniang can't sleep, the slave and maid will talk to you." Jin Mi moved carefully, and had already lit a candle and put it aside, and the dim candlelight loomed on the faces of the two of them, and disappeared in the dim candlelight without paying attention.

"Jinmi, the queen's body should be born in the next few days, do you think she will give birth to a little prince or a little princess?" This question has been entangled in Concubine Lian's heart, she has been thinking about this matter for a while, if it is the little prince, then her achievements today are all in ashes, if it is the little princess......

She thought of the soft little girl, and she was happy in her heart, the princess was in the royal family compared to the prince in heaven and on earth, if it was really a little princess, her good days would come, Concubine Lian couldn't help but touch her belly, the flat stomach made her heart sour, obviously she had a lot of days under the emperor's favor, but she didn't have as good luck as Huo Yunzi.

"Niangniang, this slave and maid can't be guaranteed, and the birth of a boy and a female slave and maid can't be decided, you still have to relax, maybe the queen is born a girl, when the time comes, you work harder, if you are pregnant, it can be regarded as having a companion in the palace, and then you are lucky enough to give birth to a little prince, the emperor will definitely love it." Jin Mi saw that she was frightened, so she could only say some good things to make her feel relieved, but unfortunately the panic in Concubine Lian's heart could be dispelled by her in just two words.

"It's a pity that there is no movement in the palace now, the emperor is about to give birth, as long as he gives birth to the prince, he will be the concubine of the main palace, and no palace concubine will give birth to a son in the future and cannot be compared with the queen who gave birth." Concubine Lian pounded the bed in frustration, the muffled snort of pain made her face change, Jin Mi looked at the red marks on her hands, turned around and wanted to take the ointment in front of the dresser, "Niangniang, your hand is injured, the slave maid will go and get some ointment to wipe it for you, fortunately the skin is not broken, and it will be fine tomorrow." ”

"No, no one cares about the injuries on Bengong's hands now, but a few red marks, it will be fine tomorrow, the queen's child is not born, and Bengong has no heart to think about anything else, it's not early, you go out to sleep quickly, and Bengong should sleep in a while." Concubine Lian's heart was depressed and couldn't be told to Jinmi, the little girl, watching Jinmi look back at herself step by step, she sighed lightly, thinking of Huo Yunzi's towering belly, she felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

She clasped her hands tightly, her nails accidentally cut her palms, she covered her hands and blew in pain, looked at her palms fiercely, and the blood spread out, suddenly, her heart became excited, looked at the blood, licked it, and smiled stupidly: "This palace will never let you give birth to the child safely." ”

She thought about it for a moment, and then came up with a brilliant idea, "If it is...... Leaving the son to go to the mother, isn't it a good child in this palace for nothing? ”

As soon as this idea came out, Concubine Lian couldn't suppress her arm, trembling and biting her index finger, fusing the thoughts in her heart over and over again, until she came up with a complete plan, and couldn't help but feel proud, "As long as the queen dies by then, the little prince she gave birth to will become her own child, and when the time comes, the mother will be more expensive than the child, maybe the emperor will be soft-hearted, and she will become the queen in the future just around the corner." ”

The more Concubine Lian thought about it, the more she felt that this plan was safe, and after a few times in her heart, she was sure that there was no problem, and said with a cold smile: "Huo Yunzi, this palace has to let you see who wins and who loses at that time." ”

Concubine Lian had no worries in her heart, and sleepiness gradually came, and after a while, she fell asleep on the bed.

The next day, Jin Mi looked at the bright sky, but there was no movement in the house, gently opened the curtain, and found that Concubine Lian was sleeping soundly, and did not dare to disturb her sleep anymore, and gently withdrew from the door, and whispered: "Put the washing things first, and then bring them in when the mother wakes up, and I will go to the small kitchen to see the mother's breakfast." ”

"Yes, Sister Jinmi, don't worry, we have been serving Niangniang for so long, and we will not upset Niangniang." Everyone was blessed and watched Jinmi walk to the kitchen on the side.
