Chapter 53: The Nursing Mother

After Liu Fu's incident, Feng Qing became more irritable, and Duan Yingjin was obedient and responsive to her in order to please her. In the blink of an eye, the New Year of the ninth year of the year has arrived, and when the rest of the family is sitting around the warm indoor reunion celebration, Liu Fu, who is three months pregnant, is locked up in a simple subordinate room that does not even have a dragon, and usually relies on burning the worst charcoal in a small brazier. There was only one elderly mother-in-law to take care of her food and daily life, and she was not allowed to step out of the house, nor was anyone allowed to visit her.

Last night there was another heavy snowfall, the temperature in the house dropped by several degrees, and the charcoal for heating was almost used. Liu Fu felt a pain in her lower abdomen, she was afraid that something would happen to the child, so she begged the doorkeeper Gu Pozi to plead with the princess for her, the weather was too cold, she wanted to ask the princess to give her a few more baskets of charcoal. Gu Pozi has long known why Liu Fu was locked up here, human nature is already high and low, for a subordinate who offended the princess, Gu Pozi has always been in the left ear and out of the right ear.

In this way, he lasted for another three days, and the last piece of charcoal was burned out, and Liu Fu curled up on the cold kang and his hands and feet were so stiff that he could no longer move. Her stomach was getting more and more uncomfortable, and she could only hold her lower abdomen tightly with both hands, hoping that she and the child would survive. At night, the sleepy Liu Fu was woken up by a burst of colic, and then she felt the damp heat between the two streams, and touched a handful with her hand and there was blood! Liu Fu shouted in a hurry: "Someone! Granny Gu! Help me, I'm red, go and report to the prince and princess! The princess promised to keep the child, if you don't pass it on, the child has three long and two short, and you can't afford to bear it! Gu Pozi wanted to ignore it, but as soon as she heard that the child was not safe, she was afraid that she couldn't afford to have an accident, so she rushed to the main house to report the news as quickly as she could with her fat body.

The main room is a completely different scene from the lower room, the earth dragon is hot, and people don't feel cold even if they only wear a thin spring shirt in the house.

After dinner, Feng Qing sat on the edge of the beauty couch peeling oranges, and lay on the couch with her head on Feng Qing's legs, enjoying the treatment of his wife feeding fruits.

Feng Qing fed a petal of orange into Duan Yingjin's mouth and asked, "Are oranges sweet, does the prince like it?" ”

Duan Yingjin's lazy expression revealed a hint of cunning, he took advantage of Feng Qing's feeding him to bite her finger, and replied ambiguously: "Sweet, the princess feeds her naturally sweet." It's really called the king to eat the marrow and know the taste. He licked his lips as if he couldn't finish it.

"The prince is so unserious! I don't feed you anymore, I eat it myself. Feng Qing stuffed an unpeeled orange into Duan Yingjin's hand, and went to pluck the cold incense in the incense burner by herself, it is said that burning this incense can ward off the cold, and I don't know if it's true or not, but at this time she really feels a little hot.

Just when the husband and wife were enjoying the rare pleasure of the boudoir, someone came to disturb them without knowing the time. Coral shouted from outside the door: "Prince, princess, Gu Pozi asks to see you...... It seems that something happened to Liufu. Hearing Sango's report, Duan Yingjin slowly sat up from Feng Qing and said, "Call her in." ”

Gu Pozi stepped into the house tremblingly, panting and reporting: "Report...... Princess...... Liufu's girl caught a cold...... See, see red! ”

"What's going on? Why did the good ones become popular? Sango, go get a doctor. Although Feng Qing hates Liu Fu very much, she still attaches great importance to this child. She asked Gu Pozi again: "How could she get cold?" Isn't there a case of charcoal sent over every month? ”

Gu Pozi was so frightened that she trembled, how could she dare to say that Liu Fu had mentioned that the charcoal was not enough, but she took it as a deaf ear, so she had to lie: "Liu Fu said that she didn't want to make trouble for the princess during the New Year, so she endured it and passed." ”

"What a slut! Skinny monkey, I'll send her a few baskets of charcoal later. "The skinny monkey at the door has to be ordered. This Liu Fu can always block people all the time, Feng Qing hated to let her give birth to a child immediately, and then ended up with her. Feng Qing was angry and didn't like anyone, so she began to provoke Gu Pozi's fault again: "You old woman, you can't even take care of a girl, it's really useless!" Okay, in the future, you will only be responsible for guarding the door, and you don't have to worry about Liufu's daily life. ”

"Then the princess is leaving her to fend for herself?" Duan Yingjin, who was speechless when Feng Qing was dealing with the situation just now, finally couldn't help but interject.

Feng Qing saw that he was worried about the cheap maid, and he didn't like it, and his tone was mixed with a little ridicule: "The prince doesn't have to worry, the concubine body will not do anything to the cheap maid, and the concubine body is also very sorry for the child in her womb." Brown Wind! Feng Qing shouted, and Brown Feng, who was dressed in a black robe, immediately knelt down on one knee in front of her and stood by. Feng Qing glanced at Duan Yingjin proudly, and gave an order to Brown Feng: "You go back to the Guogong Mansion and invite my nurse Yuerong, and she will take care of Liu Fu's fetus in the future." ”

"Yes." The brown wind commanded, and disappeared like a gust of wind.

was troubled by this annoying matter, and the festive atmosphere in the palace suddenly disappeared, and Feng Qing also changed from the gentle and considerate just now to the current yin and yang weirdness, which made Duan Yingjin feel guilty in her heart, and her disgust for Liu Fu had another layer. If it weren't for the child in her womb, Duan Yingjin would also want to quickly clean up this who disturbed him.

"Don't worry, Mama Yue is not only the nurse of the concubine, but also the birthman of the concubine, and she is the best at taking care of pregnant women and babies. With her taking care of Liufu's fetus, it must be foolproof. Feng Qing glanced at Duan Yingjin coldly, and went out of the main house to go back to her bedroom, it seems that Duan Yingjin will be turned away again tonight.

Early the next morning, Yuerong was sent to the Jin Palace. Yue Rong is thirty and five years old, with a round face and apricot eyes and hanging eyebrows, a plump body and not tall, with a large peony flower printed on the emerald green satin on her body, and a light yellow skirt lining her face, she is a shrewd spicy goods at first glance. Coral greeted Yue Rong at the door and led her to Feng Qing's house affectionately.

"Slave maid to meet the princess!" Yue Rong was about to kneel down and salute, Feng Qing hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, how could she let the nurse who had been like an elder since she was a child kneel down to worship herself?

"Mama doesn't need to be polite, she can still call me by my name like before, and calling me 'princess' is too rusty." Feng Qing is still used to Yuerong calling her "Qing'er" like a family member.

"Etiquette cannot be abolished. The princess lifted the slave maid, but the slave did not dare to trespass, if the princess did not dislike it, the slave and maid called you 'Miss', okay? "Yue Rong will not rely on being Feng Qing's nurse to be arrogant, and her humble character is also one of the reasons why she can stay in the Guogong Mansion and be reused.

"Okay, just follow Mama." Feng Qing hugged Yuerong's arm and snuggled up to her like she did when she was a child. Thinking that she has been protected by her family in the palm of her hand like a jewel since she was a child, how could she have been so wronged now? The more she thought about it, the more sad Feng Qing became, took off her sharp mask in front of Yue Rong, and cried on Yue Rong's shoulder like an ordinary little girl who had been bullied.

"Oops! My baby miss, what's wrong with you? Don't scare Mama, tell Mama about any grievances. Feng Qing was brought up by Yue Rong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is regarded as her own child, seeing her so sad, Yue Rong is also distressed. Feng Qing wiped away her tears, and intermittently told Yue Rong about the relationship between Liu Fu and Duan Yingjin, and Yue Rong scolded indignantly after hearing it: "Liu Fu actually did such a shameless deed!" When she was originally selected to accompany Miss into the house, she still remembered that she had followed Miss for many years, and she must have been loyal, but she didn't expect it to be such an obscene billet! If this is known by Grandpa Guo, won't she be broken into thousands of pieces? ”

"Fortunately, there is a grandmother on Qing'er's side! This time, I invited Mama to come for Liufu's business, and I also asked Mama to take care of Liufu's fetus for me. Feng Qing clenched the Jinpa in his hand hatefully.

Yue Rong couldn't believe it when she heard Feng Qing's request, she asked in surprise: "Why did Miss repay her grievances with virtue and leave that evil seed?" ”

"Do you think I want to? But I can't help it! I have been married to King Jin for almost two years, but there is no movement in my stomach at all. Although he didn't say it on the surface, I knew that he thought I couldn't conceive a child in my heart, and if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't conceive a child, he wouldn't have spoiled Liufu, a cheap maid. Now that she is pregnant, I can see that the prince wants this child very much, and I don't want him to be disappointed...... What's more, he also promised that I would raise the child after it was born, and he would kill Liu Fu with his own hands to make me angry. Feng Qing's expression was both sad and helpless.

"Miss, is that why you have allowed the seed of evil? You and King Jin are still young, and there are many opportunities to have children in the future, so why should you wronged yourself? Is there anything unspeakable about Miss? "A human spirit like Yuerong can always see something else through the surface of events.

Yue Rong's guess hit Feng Qing's key point, and she had to express her worries: "I also thought that we were too young to conceive, so it was not easy to conceive. But he and Liufu were pregnant overnight, and she became pregnant! I'm afraid...... It's because I can't have children at all, that's why I ......" Speaking of the heartache, Feng Qing burst into tears.

Yue Rong took Feng Qing into her arms and comforted her distressedly, she sighed and said, "Alas! That's it, and Mama will keep this seed for you. But Liu Fu can't stay, Miss rest assured, as soon as the cheap maid gives birth, the slave will send her to see the king of Hades! lest the prince miss the old love and spare the cheap maid with a soft heart. ”

"I know that Mama feels the most distressed about Qing'er." Feng Qing burst into tears and laughed, her purpose for inviting Yuerong to come was precisely this.

The next day, Liu Fu was removed from the subordinate room and moved into an independent courtyard called "Ling Xuan". Ling Xuan is not a large area, just a yard to enter, but it is clean, tidy and quiet, which is very suitable for pregnant women to raise their babies. This was specially arranged by Feng Qing for Liu Fu, and Yue Rong also lived in Ling Xuan in order to take care of Liu Fu conveniently.

In this way, the Jin Palace's mansion finally calmed down, but this calm only lasted for a short month.
