Volume I: The Palace, Fifty-three
Shen Xie nodded: "Since this is the case, let you go down and arrange this matter." ”
After leaving Shen Xie's room, Xiao Qi walked towards the pavilion in front of her, where Douzi was standing waiting for her.
Xiao Qi was a little at a loss to find a chair and sit down, she took Douzi's hand, raised her head and looked at her: "I sometimes feel that I am very hypocritical, the princess is actually very good to me, especially these days, she takes great care of me in any aspect, Douzi, although I don't know if the princess is good to me with a purpose, but one thing I know in my heart is that I am sorry for her goodness." ”
Xiao Qi was a little stunned as he spoke: "I am the prince's person, and I have to do things for the prince from the beginning, even if the prince asks me to serve the princess these days, I shouldn't have two hearts for the princess just because the princess is good to me, Douzi, what do you say I should do, every time the prince asks me, I wonder if I should tell everything truthfully, you say, how can I have such a mind?" ”
She grabbed Douzi's hand in a daze, and couldn't help but use some strength, her long nails scratched the skin on Douzi's hand, leaving a few blood marks, but Douzi didn't seem to feel it.
She squatted down and looked at Xiao Qi, looking at her, her clean eyes were full of determination: "Miss, you don't have to be so entangled, anyway, from the beginning you are doing things for the prince, even if the princess is good to you, she will not be able to give you the honor you want, not to mention, miss, you don't know that the prince and the princess are good to you for a purpose, but compared with the two, the purpose of the prince is at least simpler." ”
She said this, and her tone became a little tough: "Miss, you must understand that if you want to make the Murong family rich again one day, you must become the right hand of the prince, and let him sincerely recognize your ability to do things, Princess, Miss, you don't have to think so much." ”
"But if everything is measured by interests, then there is no emotion between me and them? Beans, I can't be so rational to deal with people. ”
Her tears fell, and the sadness and confusion in those eyes were about to overflow, and Douzi wiped away her tears with her clean sleeves: "Miss, those who become big things are not informal, you have been too confused in the recent days, whether it is on the princess or on the king of Anyang, you are too irrational, even if you really can't completely abandon your emotions to deal with people, I hope you can think about yourself a little, it doesn't matter if you feel sorry for the princess on the princess's side, Now that the prince and the princess are in harmony, the things you do are the icing on the cake, which is always beneficial to you, but on the side of King Anyang, haven't you thought it through, Miss? ”
Beanzi let go of her hand and cupped her face in a serious voice, tears streaming down her fingers, but she didn't feel it.
Her eyes stared at Xiao Qi's eyes tightly: "King Anyang and Miss, the two of you have never been together, and you don't have to have any unrealistic illusions about him, not to mention Miss, didn't you say it yourself, you will never be a concubine in this life, didn't you also tell me, don't you want to be the most powerful assistant by your young lady's side in the future?" You said that your young lady and I will become the head of the house in the future, you don't want to have a woman on your head, and you don't want to look at other people's faces. ”
When Douzi said this, the look on his face became more and more hateful: "Miss, have you forgotten everything you said, or do you think that becoming the concubine of the person you like will be considered to be successful?" ”
Xiao Qi shook her head, her head shook like a rattle: "I didn't think about it like this, I'm just a little confused, don't worry, Douzi, I've figured it all out now, I will keep my distance from King Anyang, I won't be involved with him anymore, I will make a trade-off between the prince and the princess, it's cold, let's go back to the room first." ”
She got up with the help of the beans, and there were many large vats beside the pavilion, and the water in them was all cold spring water, and there were many silk flowers on the water, all of which were made in the shape of lotus flowers.
This cold spring water is cold, and the lotus flower cannot grow, but these people use a lot of money to make the silk flower into the shape of a lotus flower in order to achieve the purpose of appreciating the lotus.
Living in this world, people have to suffer a lot, and if they can't even satisfy their own preferences, isn't it too bitter?
But even if so, what can be done? Not everyone can do things that are happy in suffering, and not everyone can be satisfied by spending a little money like this.
Xiao Qi closed his eyes, leaned on the weight of most of his body on Douzi, and the master and servant stumbled out of the gate of Hanxue Garden and went to Mu Juyuan.
Following
As soon as Lu Ziyue got up from the bed, she heard Mu Huayu report that Princess Anyang and Mrs. Shangguan (later known as Ying Zhirou) came to her to talk to her.
She put on a layer of light makeup under Mu Hua's service, and then went to the gazebo in the courtyard.
"The concubine body is see the princess Niangniang, the princess Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an."
"The concubine body is see the princess Niangniang, the princess Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an."
Xu Qinghan and Ying Zhirou hurriedly got up and saluted when they saw Lu Ziyue coming.
"No need to be polite, sit down first."
Lu Ziyue smiled and found a chair to sit down, and then looked at Xu Qinghan with a slightly sad face, she frowned: "What's wrong with Princess Anyang, why is her face so bad today, with a sad face, but what is there on this spiritual mountain that is not long-sighted and offended you?" ”
"It's not offended, it's just that I've encountered a head-wrenching thing these days." Xu Qinghan had a hint of embarrassment on her face, she turned her head and glanced at Ying Zhirou, and saw that Ying Zhirou's face was full of encouragement before she mustered up the courage to say, "The princess regent is also pregnant now, I don't know if there are fine lines growing on the princess's belly?" ”
Lu Ziyue shook her head, she involuntarily touched her bulging abdomen: "No, this belly has no other changes except that it is bigger than before, but you say so, could it be that you have that thing on your belly?" ”
"Yes, it's a little embarrassing to say, but the concubine's belly has cracked one after another since five months, the concubine didn't care too much about it, thinking that it is normal for these things to grow when the belly is big, but I never thought that those thin cracks are getting bigger and bigger, and the back has directly become one line after another, and the concubine no longer dares to underestimate these lines when she sees this appearance, but the concubine doesn't dare to find someone to see casually, and the princess regent also knows that the concubine is the side concubine, stared at the position of the princess every day, and the concubine was afraid that the reputation of the concubine would be ruined after the news spread. ”
Xu Qinghan's tears fell when she said this, Ying Zhirou was also a little moved, she took out a handkerchief and handed it to her to let Xu Qinghan wipe her tears, and then looked at Lu Ziyue, who was still a little puzzled, and said: "The concubine has never been pregnant, and I really don't understand these things, but Princess Anyang's life in the palace is not so good, and the king of Anyang has a capable side concubine, Qinghan doesn't have much favor in the palace, if he knows now that Qinghan has these things on his belly, I'm afraid that Qinghan's life will be even more sad in the future. ”
"These palaces are also clear, but there are no such things on the stomach of this palace, and there is no way to give Princess Anyang any ideas, so I really can't find a doctor to take a look, maybe they will have some way to make these lines disappear."
Lu Ziyue thought about it and felt that only finding a doctor was the safest.
As soon as Xu Qinghan heard that he was looking for the imperial doctor, he hurriedly shook his head: "You can't find the imperial doctor, those imperial doctors' mouths are not worth believing, if the concubine body finds them, I am afraid that it will not be long before everyone in the capital knows these things on the concubine's stomach." ”
She didn't want to believe the doctor, and she was wary of the word doctor at the mention of the word doctor in her eyes.
But if they didn't find a doctor, Lu Ziyue couldn't think of any other capable person who could help them for a while.
She pursed her lips and continued to think, and after a long time, she had an idea, she straightened up and said: "If you don't want to find a doctor, there is another way, when this palace first got married, the mother country used to marry many women who had experience in this field, although this palace is not needed at this time, but they are all powerful characters who have been immersed in the palace for many years, and they should know some things that grow on you." ”
"What the princess said is true?" Xu Qinghan suddenly became excited, she wanted to stand up suddenly, but her stomach was too big and there was no way for a while.
Ying Zhirou was also frightened by her momentum, and hurriedly held her stomach and let her sit well: "Now that you have a way, you should protect your stomach even more, how can you be so impulsive?" What's more, you and I are all on this spiritual mountain now, even if the princess regent wants to help you, she has to wait until after going down the mountain. ”
Lu Ziyue was also a little frightened when she looked at Xu Qinghan's movements, and she said to Xu Qinghan disapproving of Ying Zhirou's meaning: "Mrs. Shangguan is right, those things will not be solved until you go down the mountain, what you have to do now is to eat less, and you may not be able to make those lines on your stomach bigger because you have eaten too much." ”
"The concubine understands that she will definitely eat less in the future."
She had a sincere smile on her face, and her hands were touching her stomach from time to time.
