Chapter Ninety-Eight: Handover

On the morning of the sixth day of the first lunar month, Xiao Mingzi, a slave in the flower house, held the fresh lily inserted in the bottle of the two immortals painted with harmony and sent it to Yuxiu Palace to give Concubine Tian a pillow. Before he could enter the main hall, he saw that the palace people were busy inside and out.

"Girl, what are you busy with?" Xiao Mingzi stopped a palace maid and asked.

"Don't pull me! Our little master has given birth, and I'm about to go to the doctor! The palace maid pushed Xiao Mingzi before running out.

It turned out that Concubine Tian had a seizure, so don't you need to send this flower? Xiao Mingzi hesitated, and finally carried back how the lily was sent back as it was. Xiao Mingzi happened to meet Mu Mei halfway through, and Mu Mei saw him walking in the direction of the flower house with the flower bottle, so she hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Hey! Come here! How did you get back the flowers that were sent to Yuxiu Palace? The tone was full of blame and dissatisfaction.

"Back to the girl, Concubine Tian is about to give birth, and the people in Yuxiu Palace are in a mess! The minion probably didn't need the lily anymore, so he ......," Xiao Mingzi explained resignedly.

"Isn't it still ten days before the due date, why did you have a seizure today? Okay, this flower really doesn't need it, give it to me, it just so happens that Concubine Xian is missing a flower bottle. By the way, the flowers sent to the Jinglian Palace can't be broken, and now we are counting these two pregnant little masters in the palace, and the mother specially ordered that any good things have to be used by the two little masters. Xiao Mingzi nodded yes, and handed the flower bottle to Mu Mei with the lily qi. Mu Mei waited for Xiao Mingzi to walk away, and immediately poured the water in the flower bottle into the grass on the side of the road, and then walked quickly towards Chenqi Palace.

The water in this flower bottle is this early winter Ford Yi went to the flower room to add "material", the things in the water are colorless and odorless with the evaporation of the water volatilized together, as long as the pregnant woman who is about to give birth to a weak baby for ten days. The original King Yong and the current Duan Yingping were all thanks to it, and this poisonous plan was originally from the hands of Zheng Wei'e, the abolished queen.

Back in Chenqi Palace, Mu Mei informed Xu Ying of the early birth of Tian Concubine, and Xu Ying, who was originally leaning on the couch, immediately sat up, pounded the kang table hatefully and said: "God bless her to give birth to a princess, otherwise don't blame the palace for being ruthless......"

"Niangniang is angry, look at Concubine Tian's round belly, eighty percent is a daughter! Even if it's really the prince, we still have a chance......" Mu Mei comforted her master while putting the lily flower arrangement that had run out of water on the table.

Xu Ying grabbed a lily, crushed it in her hand, and said angrily: "Originally, one more eighth prince was enough to make the palace upset, and the palace didn't want more princes in this palace." It's best that Concubine Tian and Concubine Lian are pregnant with princesses, and they will save the palace trouble! Xu Ying waved her hand impatiently at Mu Mei, signaling Mu Mei to pay attention to the movement in Yuxiu Palace, she wanted to know whether Concubine Tian's child was male or female as soon as possible. Mu Mei went to the vicinity of Yuxiu Palace to listen and didn't mention it.

That afternoon, Li Shutian gave birth to a baby girl with difficulty, and Xu Ying was relieved when she heard the news; Li Jingxi rushed to accompany her cousin as soon as possible; When the emperor first heard about the seizure of Tian Concubine, he considered canceling the trip to the hot springs, but as soon as he heard that he was born a princess, he decided to set off as originally planned the next day.

Duan Yulin came to Yuxiu Palace at night to take a look at the child and Li Shutian, and wanted to name the child, but after discussing it with Li Jingxi, he felt that the name of the princess was not suitable for a hasty decision, and finally simply entrusted the responsibility of naming the name to the old lady mother.

After Duan Yulin saw the princess and Shu Tian, he wanted to go back to prepare for tomorrow's trip, and asked Li Jingxi if she wanted to go back together.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Tian has just given birth, and the concubine wants to stay and take care of her...... The concubine is still thinking about tomorrow's trip to the hot springs, so please ask the emperor for permission! Li Jingxi knew that Duan Yuhua would be among them during this trip to Wodai Mountain, and she also missed him very much. But compared to her cousin's body, these are not important, she has to stay and take care of Shu Tian.

"I'm not sure! Concubine Tian's body is taken care of by the doctors and maids, so there is no need to worry about the concubine. In the past two years, Concubine Ai's body has become weaker and weaker, and she is sick at every turn, how can she still work hard for these things? Geothermal hot springs are good for your body, and you have to take a dip. In the future, when you have taken care of your body, I still hope that you will give birth to a healthy prince for me! Duan Yulin caressed Li Jingxi's cheek lovingly, and felt that the silhouette seemed to be a little thinner.

Duan Yulin took Li Jingxi into his arms, smelled the fragrance on her body, and realized that he had really not hugged her for too long, and the emperor who was in a trance for a while whispered ambiguously in the ear of Jingxi: "Now that your cousins have given birth to children before you, don't you hurry up?" ”

"The emperor is so serious! Just let the concubines go, and the emperor doesn't have to entertain the concubines with such words! Li Jingxi feigned anger and pushed Duan Yulin away.

Duan Yulin thought that he had touched the hidden pain of Li Jingxi's infertility for many years, so he hurriedly changed the topic by the way: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have made fun of Concubine Ai!" Concubine Ai should go back to the palace to rest early, and she will have to go to the Wodai Mountain Palace early tomorrow morning. After speaking, he also lightly scraped the tip of her nose.

Graceful rubbed her nose and pretended to be aggrieved: "The concubine knows, the emperor will go back first, and the concubine will accompany Concubine Tian for a while." "Li Jingxi sent the emperor outside the main hall.

"Okay, don't work too hard, I'll go back to the palace first." Duan Yulin patted his face again before he started driving with peace of mind.

Luo Zixiao, who was seriously injured by a miscarriage in Yunxia Palace, has been bedridden for half a month, but her body has never been well, which shows that this miscarriage has completely hurt her body.

"Little master, the medicine is boiled, take it while it's hot." Jinghua helped Luo Zixiao up and waited for her to drink medicine.

"Jinghua, why is it noisy outside? What happened? Although Luo Zixiao was not in good spirits, he always paid attention to the movements outside.

"Back to the little master, it's Concubine Tian who gave birth prematurely...... Concubine Tian gave birth to a princess, and now the mother and daughter are safe. "Concubine Tian gave birth to her own little master's child safely, but the child is gone, and I don't know if Zixiao will be sad when she hears this "good news"?

"Peace is good. Whether it's a man or a woman, peace is the best......" Zixiao couldn't help but think of the child she had just lost, and her eyes were full of tears.

"Little master, don't be sad, when you get well, you will definitely be able to give birth to a dragon heir again!" Jinghua wiped Zixiao's tears and comforted.

"I know the body of this palace, you don't have to comfort this palace, fortunately, Yingzhe of this palace is still fine......" Thinking of his son's healthy and ruddy little face, Luo Zixiao's heart finally felt better. She didn't want to dwell on this sad topic, so she chatted with Jinghua about some matters related to the trip to Wodai Mountain: "Tomorrow the holy car should set off, you should also go and prepare." ”

"Little master?" Jinghua didn't know what she meant, and the people from their Yunxia Hall were not among the attendants during tomorrow's trip to the Hot Spring Palace.

"A few days ago, Liu Cairen came to visit the palace, and the palace talked to her, and she promised the palace to take you and Xiaoluzi to the palace this time. This is the opportunity that this palace has arranged for you, you must not live up to the painstaking efforts of this palace......" Luo Zixiao knew that this miscarriage had destroyed her body, and I was afraid that her grace would wither in the future, and she had to take extraordinary measures - she needed Jinghua to compete for favor instead of her.

Liu Youmeng has been oppressed since she entered the palace because of her low family background and lack of favor, and now she has attracted more resentment from the emperor, which makes her understand that she can't live without strong allies in the harem.

At this moment, Luo Zixiao extended an olive branch to her, and she naturally accepted it with gratitude, so that she could join the small group of Luo Zixiao and others. So, when Luo Zixiao proposed to her that she would help the maid Jinghua to be favored, she agreed after a little consideration. No matter how much a maid is favored, she can't go beyond her, and with Luo Zixiao's control, she can't do the rampant attitude of a villain like Mu Zhu!

"Little master, slaves don't dare!" Shizuka was so frightened that she kowtowed repeatedly.

"There's nothing you don't dare, you just remember that this palace asked you to do this for the honor of Yunxia Palace, for the honor of Luo's full family! Jinghua, this palace knows that you are loyal, and you will never do anything that is detrimental to Luo's interests! This...... Just for the palace, for the Luo family who has raised you for eighteen years! "Jinghua was abandoned outside the gate of Xiangguo Temple when she was one year old, and Luo Zixiao's mother happened to go to the temple to make a wish that day, so she kindly brought her back to the house for adoption. The Luo family has the grace of nurturing Jinghua, so Jinghua has been loyal to Zixiao since she was a child.

"Little Lord, in case...... What if the emperor doesn't like slaves? Jinghua is willing to curry favor with the emperor for the sake of the little master, but she is afraid that the emperor will not look down on her, but will cause trouble for Zixiao.

"How so? With your appearance and your wisdom, the emperor will definitely like it when he sees it. In Zixiao's opinion, her Jinghua is many times stronger than Huanyue in the past and Muzhu now. Zixiao pointed to the wardrobe and said, "You go and open it, what does this palace have prepared for you?" ”

Jinghua opened the closet and saw a new set of dresses and embroidered shoes on the top layer. Jinghua unfolded the skirt, and it turned out to be a set of water-pink moire crepe skirts. It's already winter, but it's perfect for wearing it at the hot spring palace, which is rich in geothermal resources.

"Little master, this is too valuable, and the slave and maid can't accept it!" Shizuka put her clothes on the table and excused herself.

"What is this, when you become a serious little master, you can wear clothes ten times more valuable than this. Later, I'll give you the pair of hibiscus pearl feather tassels and gold-beaded eggplant earrings from my jewelry box. Zixiao motioned for Jinghua to accept them all, and was not allowed to refuse.

Seeing that she couldn't excuse herself, Jinghua had to accept it in full, and knelt down again to bow to her master's thanksgiving: "Slave and maid thank the little master for the reward!" The slave will live up to the little master's expectations! "From tomorrow, her fate will be very different, it will be a turning point and a challenge.
