Various dishes for lunch were put on the table one after another, and several people entered the flower hall and waited for the table to open. Yao Biyuan asked everyone to clean their hands, and then let the guests move freely.

Yao Tingxuan's appetite hadn't opened yet, and she was thinking about eating some sour melons and fruits to appetize, when Yutu came with a pot of rock sugar hawthorn. She was about to scoop a bowl with a spoon, but her sister Bi Kite slammed the back of her hand with chopsticks. Tingxuan didn't know why, turned her head to look at her sister, and saw Bi Kite staring at the pot of hawthorn, and her face suddenly became extremely ugly!

"Don't eat this! Don't you know that eating too much hawthorn in pregnant women can cause miscarriage? If you dare to bring this thing up, you don't want to die! The reproach in Bi Kite's tone didn't seem to be fake, and her gaze at Jade Rabbit became more and more fierce: "Who allowed you to serve this dish to the little master?" ”

Yutu was at a loss and didn't know what to say, but when he saw Concubine Xin speaking so fiercely, he was inevitably afraid. So, tremblingly, he replied: "This rock sugar hawthorn is not made in the small kitchen, it is a dessert given to all palaces by the imperial dining room today." The slave maid thought that the little master liked to eat sour, and it was just right to eat this. The slave really doesn't know that hawthorn can also hurt the fetus! If you know that the slaves and maids really don't dare to give it to the little masters! As she spoke, she knelt down and began to sob.

Seeing that her maid did something bad with good intentions, the kind-hearted Tingxuan felt compassion: "Okay, okay, sister, don't scare Yutu, she didn't mean it." Besides, our month is older, so eat less and don't worry. ”

Tingxuan has been sour since she was pregnant, and at first she didn't dare to eat because of the unstable fetal gas, and she didn't dare to touch things like hawthorn. Now that the baby is about to give birth, it doesn't hurt to eat a few to satisfy your cravings. I don't know why my sister is so nervous? Tingxuan felt that Bi Kite was making a bit of a fuss.

"If I say no, I can't! Green sleeves, take this pot of hawthorn down! Switch to something else. Yao Biyuan vetoed her sister's idea without saying a word.

"Yes." Qingsleeve took the rock sugar hawthorn away, and after a while, he changed the sugar water lychee and came up.

Everyone quickly forgot about this sudden episode, and happily talked and laughed again.

Yao Biyuan was spoiled by Fang Cai's eye-catching rock sugar hawthorn, and now she can't eat big fish and meat, so she can only take a small bite of the sugar water lychee in the bowl.

"Sister Xin, why do you just eat that? This ginseng black chicken is good for pregnant women, so you can eat some too. Du Fangwei saw that Bi Kite didn't eat staple food, and was a little worried about her.

Bi Kite shook her head and refused: "I can't eat it." You ate a lot of snacks when you chatted with Tingxuan before you came, and you're not hungry yet. ”

Here Tingxuan covered her lips and smiled, put a chicken wing into Du Fangwei's bowl, and beckoned: "Sister Fang eats you, don't pay attention to my sister!" She's got a weird taste! She put down her chopsticks and began to ridicule Bi Kite with everyone: "People say 'sour and spicy girls', but pregnant women love to eat these two flavors." But my sister is very special! I don't like sour, I don't like spicy, but I love sweetness! It's too sour to give her a sweet pear on weekdays, and only sweet and juicy fruits like lychee and longan are to her liking, so let her eat them! ”

Everyone else listened to it as a joke, and only Lu Yangzhen looked at Yao Biyuan, who had another bowl of lychees in sugar water, with a little doubt. She couldn't help but whisper to Yao Tingxuan: "Has Concubine Xin often eaten this kind of high-sweet food since she was pregnant?" ”

"Not really. It seems that I started after I was three months pregnant, and I used to eat some sour food. But then I didn't touch anything sour anymore. Tingxuan also felt that her sister's taste had changed too suddenly.

Lu Yezhen smiled at Yao Tingxuan and ended the topic. The other two didn't seem to pay attention to their whispers, and still had a good time chatting with each other.

"Oh, it turns out that Sister Xin loves sweets! The next time my sister comes to visit my sister, I will make a pot of lychee stewed chicken for my sister, which I am the best at! Du Fangwei remembered the delicious food she tasted at her grandfather's house when she was a child, and she still remembers it. She also learned this lychee stewed chicken from her mother.

"Lychees can also be used in dishes? This is a rarity! "Most of the dishes in the palace are salty and sweet, and they are rarely mixed together.

"Of course you can, not only can you stew, but you can also stir-fry! Stir-fried loofah with lychee, stir-fried shrimp with lychee...... It's delicious! Du Fangwei reported the names of the dishes like a few treasures, which made everyone salivate.

"Yes, isn't there a dish that is very famous, it's called 'Lychee Shrimp Ball'? The Imperial Dining Room will definitely do it, why not try it next time? Tingxuan excitedly proposed, and everyone nodded yes.

The meal ended in a lively atmosphere, and Du Fangwei and the Lu sisters sat down for a while before leaving.

The pregnant woman was sleepy, and Tingxuan was sleepy as soon as she finished eating, and she wanted to go back to the room to rest immediately after seeing off the guests.

Tingxuan couldn't help but yawn a few times: "Isn't my sister sleepy?" Why don't you go back and take a nap? ”

Bi Kite's eyes have long lost the enthusiasm of hospitality, and they are cold and cold. She didn't look at Tingxuan, and replied, "No need, I'm not sleepy." I went back and continued to cut the child's clothes. Then he went into his dormitory without looking back.

Tingxuan was surprised by her sister's mood changes, why was she still elated just now, but now she is indifferent and cold? Is it really because pregnant women are moody? Tingxuan shook her head helplessly, and let the jade rabbit support her back to the boudoir.

Yao Biyuan, who returned to his own territory, finally couldn't help but lose his temper, and raised his hand to smash the blue and white porcelain vase on the table, but the green sleeves quickly stopped him.

"Don't get angry, it's not good for your health! Moreover, it is not good for those who call the house to hear. Green Sleeves comforted his master as he carefully snatched the vase from Bi Kite's hand.

"Hmph, the way I'm now, what do I care about if my body is not physical? I just can't swallow this! Yao Biyuan sat down on the chair angrily.

"Little master, don't be angry with Master Xuan, after all, ...... She's also your own sister. Qingsleeve always felt that since that incident, the master's resentment towards Concubine Xuan was out of control.

"Phew! What kind of sister is she? She's just a concubine! Do you deserve to be my equal? "Yao Biyuan's words are afraid to shock everyone! Aren't they twin sisters? Why did Yao Tingxuan become a concubine all of a sudden?

There are very few people who know the truth of the matter, except for Yao Ling and his wife, Bi Kite and henchman Qingsleeve, even the person in question, Tingxuan, has been kept in the dark for 19 years.

In fact, few people know that Yao Ling also had a concubine when he was young. It's just that this concubine's background is not good, and she is an outdated song and dance studio maiko, called Fire Dance.

Huo Wu has experienced ups and downs, but he is gentle and kind, and it is this that touches Yao Ling's heart. Yao Ling was half pity and half love for her, so she quietly included the beauty in the house. Because Mrs. Masamu did not agree, she didn't even dare to set up a decent banquet when she married Huo Wu. But Huo Wu didn't care about these at all, and followed Yao Ling and served Madame wholeheartedly, and gradually even Madame accepted her existence.

It wasn't until later that Madame and Fire Dance became pregnant at the same time and gave birth almost at the same time. As soon as Yao Tingxuan was born, her fate was rewritten.

Yao Tingxuan is the daughter of Huo Wu, and only Yao Biyuan is the main concubine. It's a pity that Tiantian is jealous and red-faced, Huo Wu died in childbirth, and Tingxuan was born without a mother. The lady saw that the little baby was pitiful, so she brought it to raise it with the blue kite, and only said that she had given birth to twins. Since then, the name Fire Dance has disappeared in Yaofu.

The Yao sisters, a mother and twins, are inevitably compared from childhood to adulthood. Helplessly, Tingxuan is a little better than Bi Kite everywhere, and Bi Kite is also a little jealous of her sister because of this; A year before entering the palace, Bi Kite accidentally learned the truth of her sister's life experience from the quarrel of her parents, and since then she has had more trouble with Tingxuan; Later, she entered the palace as a concubine, although the two lived at the same level, Bi Kite always felt that the emperor still favored her sister, which also made her heart knot bigger and bigger......

"Little master, bear with me, it won't be long anyway, and the day of giving birth is approaching......" Qingsleeve took a cushion for Bi Kite to lean on, hoping that she could sit more comfortably.

Yao Biyuan angrily pulled off the cushion and threw it to the ground: "What's the use of this Raushzi?" Why don't you help me change my clothes and lie down on the bed! Dinner will be delivered to the room, and I will not be out of the house today, so let's change my clothes. ”

"Yes." Bluesleeves obediently carried out the instructions.

On the way back, Lu Xizhen led her little sister for a leisurely walk. The left and right naps are in the soup, so it is better to walk around more to eliminate food.

Lu Yezhen thought back to the dinner just now while walking, and always felt that there were some things very strange. She thought about things, and her steps slowed down unconsciously, and Lu Hui thought that her sister was too abrasive, so she jumped to the front by herself. When Lu Yezhen came back to her senses, she found that her little sister had long since disappeared!

"Where's the night?" Chao Zhen turned around and asked the maid unhappily.

"The little lady is playful, and in the blink of an eye, she is gone. But with a nursing mother following, don't worry. Qing Qian knew that Chaozhen was just worried about getting into trouble at night, as long as she didn't get into trouble, she could play wherever she liked.

"Alright, don't care about that little girl! Let's go back to Jinseju first, and she will naturally come back when she has had enough. "Chaozhen was too lazy to worry about her sister, so she threw off the handkerchief and left.

Lu Yan was playing and frolicking together, and inadvertently walked to the vicinity of Chenqi Palace. What's even more unfortunate is that she happened to meet Xu Ying's mother and son who also came out for a walk.

Lu Yanwan first saw Duan Yingping, and wanted to happily step forward to say hello, but after a closer look, wasn't it the fierce imperial concubine who led him? That's a big guy she can't mess with! She pursed her lips and was about to turn around and leave......

"Who's sneaking around there? Don't stop for this palace yet! Xu Ying glanced at Lu Huiwan's small body.

Before she could show up to explain, her nurse was a little frightened first, rushed out and knelt at Xu Ying's feet and began to kowtow and ask for guilt! I really don't have any backbone! While scolding, she reluctantly pretended to smile with a smile: "Courtier Lu Yanwan, meet the imperial concubine Niangniang, and meet His Royal Highness the King of Shoujun!" "She squats and blesses her body, and the etiquette is thorough. Hearing that it was a friend's voice, Yingping couldn't help but smile friendly.

"Yo, where did this palace come from! It turned out to be the sister of the concubine! Xu Ying's sarcastic remarks, probably except for Duan Yingping, everyone present could understand the meaning.

Lu Hui knew that Xu Ying didn't like her, but she couldn't be so cynical, right? She is a face-saving child, Xu Ying ridiculed her in public like this, how can she not be annoyed? By the way, Yan Wan took this resentment out of Duan Yingping's body, although she knew that he couldn't see clearly, she still glared at him dissatisfied.

"The courtier's sister must be in a hurry, the courtier's retire!" Lu Yanwan casually found a reason to leave.

"Hey! ......Before Yingping could say anything, Xu Ying pulled him back in an angry manner.

"What a bad luck! You can't be happy when you come out for a walk! Xu Ying warned her son again not to associate with the people of Jinseju.

"Mother, she ...... late" Yingping likes her friend very much, and he doesn't want to lose this friendship.

It's a pity that the domineering Xu Ying refused to fulfill his wishes, and interrupted his defense as usual: "If you don't say good things about that girl, this palace just doesn't want to see her!" You don't have to hang out with her! After speaking, he poked his son's head with hatred.
