While Hideho and Komahime were enjoying the hot springs in Yonezawa Castle, Yamato-gunyama Castle became a battlefield without gunpowder.

Ju Ji has been pregnant for seven months, plus it is the main room of Xiu Bao, naturally by the care and care of the whole family, Zhiyun Yuan almost every day to the Buddha Hall to pray for the upcoming little life, Ajiang as Ju Ji's "former" sister-in-law, since she is also very caring for her, plus she has the experience of giving birth to children, it is even more handy to deal with. The attendants and maidservants at home are also busy from morning to night, and the house is a busy scene.

Although it is a "family mobilization", there is only one person who seems to stay out of the matter and does not care about the birth of Hidebo's first child, yes, it is the princess of the Asano family, Sakurahime.

When everyone in the mansion was busy, she still summoned the young lady of the princess's family to recite poems and paint in the mansion, completely ignoring the disdainful eyes of everyone. Whenever Ju Ji walked past her garden accompanied by her maid, she would always say to herself loudly: "Hey, some people suffer from October pregnancy for the sake of incense, even if the house is full of children and grandchildren, after all, it is better to indulge in the mountains and rivers, and wander the pleasure of the sea of poetry." ”

Ju Ji hasn't read many poetry books, but he can still understand what he said, plus he has a strong nature, he can't stand such cynicism, and he wants to rush up and argue with Sakura Ji many times, but every time he will be stopped by the maid next to him, plus he also knows that he is pregnant and should not be angry, and finally he has no general knowledge with her.

But after all, paper can't hold the fire, and the matter finally reached Ajiang's ears, although it is the side room of the family, but Ju Ji has always treated her as a sister-in-law, respectful, and will discuss anything with her, and after Ju Ji became pregnant, she handed over the affairs of the family to Ah Jiang to manage, making her the actual controller of the family.

Although Ajiang's personality is not much better than Ju Ji's, she has learned a lot from the strong experience of three marriages, and her temperament has gradually calmed down, and when she learns that Ju Ji is angry because of Sakurahime's affairs, she will also take the initiative to enlighten her, and she can help Ju Ji temporarily stabilize her mood every time.

Once, Kikuhime complained to Ajiang after being sarcastically ridiculed by Sakurahime, and Ajiang smiled and comforted after listening to it: "Do you really think that Mrs. Sakurahime looks down on you?" Ju Ji was puzzled: "That's not the case, why does she speak ill of each other again and again?" ”

Ah Jiang explained: "The Imperial Front is the most beloved lady of the main room of Xiubao, and she will be envied by her, plus you are now pregnant with His Royal Highness's child, and you have become the darling of the whole family, and she, who is also His Royal Highness's wife, has never even performed the rite of husband and wife, how can she not resent you if she is so neglected?" ”

"Madame mean, Sakurahime is jealous of me?" Kikuhime was a little proud. "That's right," Jiang nodded and continued: "The more she is jealous of you, the more she will speak ill of her, as long as you ignore her, she will soon feel bored." ”

"That's right," Kikuhime smiled happily, "she's jealous that Her Highness only loves me." Since then, Kikuhime has been like a different person, and she has not been angry in the face of Sakurahime's sarcasm, and this time it was Sakurahime's turn to be annoyed, "How can there be such a brazen woman?" She often said. Things are really as Ah Jiang said, after less than half a month, Sakura Ji will no longer provoke Ju Ji, if the two are really so peaceful, it is not a bad thing.

But something inevitably happened. At that time, it was just after the beginning of spring, and although the Northeast was still covered with snow, the Gyeonggi area was already in the early spring scene when the ice and snow were gradually melting and everything was beginning to recover. Ju Ji hibernated at home for a winter, and at this time she couldn't bear it, and insisted on going outside to take a walk and see the late plum in Duowen Mountain.

Although Ah Jiang said that he was not worried that Ju Ji would go to the suburbs to enjoy the flowers with a big belly, he couldn't resist her pleading eyes, and he was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do. At this time, the maidservant Azhu, who had grown up in Koriyama Castle since she was a child, suddenly had an idea, and saw her mysteriously leaning into Kikuhime's ear and saying mischievously: "Instead of admiring the late plum, it is better to go and see the newly blooming camellias." ”

"Camellias?" Ju Ji looked at Ah Zhu suspiciously, "Camellia flowers will not bloom until March at the earliest, and now it's just February, you girl is lying to me again." ”

"How dare the slave deceive the Imperial Front, I saw a large piece of it yesterday when I passed by Lady Sakurahime's garden." Azhu said seriously.

How could Ah Jiang not know Ah Zhu's thoughts, instead of going to the suburbs to enjoy the flowers, it would be safer to come at home, and it was really thanks to her that she had this thought. Since this is the case, Ah Jiang pushed the boat along the river and said: "Yes, the early plum and the late plum are all plums, there must be no difference, but this early blooming camellia is indeed rare to see, don't miss it in front of the emperor." ”

Kikuhime has loved flowers since she was a child, whether it is an unknown wildflower in the mountains or a precious species in the garden of the aristocratic princess's house, she has to see it all, so when she heard that there were camellias so early, she was also tempted, but when she thought that it was in Sakurahime's garden, she was a little unhappy.

Seeing Ju Ji's sad face, Ah Jiang thought of a good solution: "Sakura Ji and you have not had a conflict for more than half a month, and I guess I am calm now, why don't you take this opportunity to reconcile with her, which can not only unite the whole family but also please Your Highness, why not?" ”

Ju Ji asked curiously, "I wonder what Madame's plan is?" ”

Ah Jiang smiled: "I can't calculate it, I think that Sakura Ji is so face-saving, it is enough for the emperor to give her a little step." ”

"Steps?" Ju Ji still heard it in a fog, and didn't understand what Ajiang wanted to do.

"Exactly, as long as you bring her a bowl of ginseng soup to show your gratitude, I don't think she will be embarrassed anymore." Ah Jiang pointed to the tonic soup that the maid had just sent over and said.

Only then did Ju Ji understand Ah Jiang's intentions, and immediately ordered the maid to pack the ginseng soup and go with her to visit Sakurahime.

Sakura Hime was also coming to the garden with many people to enjoy the flowers at this time, although it was said to be a "premature baby", but these camellias were still bright and red, deep and dark, everyone praised them, and Sakura Hime also got satisfaction that she had never had in this compliment.

Just when she was complacent and carried away, Kikuhime went to the garden accompanied by Ajiang, and when the children of the princess saw Kikuhime coming, they immediately threw Sakurahime aside and came to the main room of this hideho to give a big gift.

How could Sakura Ji stand such a gap, but after all, she was a side room, so she had to salute Ju Ji with a gloomy face: "The royal palace is here, and the concubine is not welcome, please forgive me." ”

Ju Ji didn't realize Sakurahime's displeasure, and was thinking about repairing with her, so he enthusiastically approached her and said, "Madame Hugh blames the concubine for coming uninvited, here is the ginseng soup that has just been made in the kitchen, and I specially bring it to you to taste." So saying, she ordered the maid to take out a steaming bowl of ginseng soup from the food box.

"Ginseng soup?" Sakurahime said angrily, "Does the royal front want to show off to the concubine?" ”

"What are these words, I just want my wife to share the delicious food with me, and I don't mean anything else." Kikuhime hurriedly explained, and took the ginseng soup from the maid's hand and handed it to Sakurahime.

Seeing that all the princesses' children were staring at her at this time, Sakura Ji was immediately embarrassed, pushed the ginseng soup away, and said coldly: "Share together? I think the emperor wants me to make a fool of myself in front of everyone, please take this soup back, the concubine is not blessed. ”

Ju Ji was already greeted with a smile, but she didn't expect to suffer such an attack for no reason, so she couldn't help it after all: "The concubine's personal visit is intended to reconcile with Madame, so let's ask Madame to drink this bowl of soup." With that, he sent the bowl to Sakurahime's mouth.

Sakurahime is not a vegetarian either, so she couldn't wait for others to force her, so she pushed Kikuhime away and yelled "I won't drink if I say I won't drink" and walked into the house.

Who knew that the accident happened at this time, Ju Ji was pregnant with Liujia, how could she withstand such a push, and before Ah Jiang and the others could react, she fell heavily to the ground.
