"Yes, Cheng Niangniang's auspicious words, the little girl is overjoyed." After Meng Yanqing took the handkerchief with both hands, she asked the maid behind her to carefully put it away and returned to her position.

The women could also see that there was not much left, and it happened to be a banquet.

There are always only a few fixed dishes at the banquet.

Xinyue picked up the chopsticks, sandwiched a piece of beef slices, and put it between her lips and teeth, the aroma and saltiness spread out between the mouths, the fibers and texture of the meat flavor were broken and spread out under the chewing of the teeth, and the beef slices were stained with vinegar and sourness, which looked appetizing, and Xinyue was very satisfied and ate another bite.

"Niangniang, raw vinegar hurts your stomach, try this fish soup" Xi'er has never seen Xinyue at a banquet, she likes a dish so much, this cold dish, Xinyue has inadvertently eaten several chopsticks, in front of so many people, this is not a good thing.

Xinyue also realized this, and said to Xi'er, "This fish soup is not necessary, the palace is almost full." ”

Xi'er nodded, raised her hand to add wine to Xinyue, but found that Xinyue didn't have a drop of wine at hand, so she put down the wine jug.

"The little girl heard that Niangniang has lived in Dongdu for a while, and I want to come to this Dongdu-style beef, which is more suitable for you." It was Roy, the eldest daughter of the Shangluo family of the Ministry of Rites, who spoke very beautifully, with a somewhat gentle temperament, and was very careful.

She didn't mean to probe what happened before the new moon, she was just complimenting her with words.

Xinyue looked at the beef slices that had been eaten half by herself, and smiled, "I didn't think it just now, but when I heard Miss Luo say it, it is indeed the flavor of the Eastern Capital." ”

"Yes, the little girl's father has been an official in the Eastern Capital for many years, and now he has been serving in Jinling for more than ten years, but he still can't forget this braised beef in the Eastern Capital, and every time he drinks, he will tell the chef to prepare it." After speaking, Roy took chopsticks, put a slice of beef, put it on the tip of his nose, and sniffed, "The braised beef in Niangniang's palace is only comparable to the century-old Zhangji Beef Shop in Dongdu." ”

"Miss Luo, it seems that you have been in Beijing with Lord Luo for many years, and this beef shop in Zhang Ji was sold out seven years ago because of Boss Zhang's son, who caused a life lawsuit. From the opening of the store to the removal of the signboard, it has only been 98 years, and this century-old store, thinking about it, the boss of Zhang, who bought the store, did not think of taking it out as a gimmick. "Xinyue hasn't had time to speak, and the one who spoke aggressively was the second daughter of Prime Minister Ji's second son, her father served in the military department, and was originally the general of Zhenxi, that is, Xinyue's father's subordinate.

This Miss Ji's cousin is the one who was assigned to marry at the palace banquet, and I heard that she was married not long ago.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that Prime Minister Ji wanted to keep his daughters away from the harem, but now that there is another Miss Ji here, I really know what kind of mood Prime Minister Ji will be like.

"You... You..."Miss Luo was just complimenting Xinyue a few words, but she didn't expect to be scolded back so seriously, and she was in a mess for a while, and she didn't know how to respond.

Xinyue glanced at this Miss Ji, who spoke very cleverly and had a little meanness in the corners of her eyes, which was really far from her cousin.

"And then?" Mu Wanwan didn't have a bit of a quick temper with the daughters of the gate, and when she spoke, she spoke slowly, she first slowly chewed and swallowed the food in her mouth, and then drank a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and then opened her mouth to participate in this matter.

"What, what?" Miss Ji didn't expect anyone to ask her this question, and she was a little choked for a while.

"I'm asking you, what happened to this Zhang Ji beef shop? You're halfway through this story, if you don't finish it, I thought you were deliberately embarrassing Miss Luo, Miss Ji, today's teaching Mama Xi just said, we may all become harem sisters in the future, the most important thing is harmony, you haven't become sisters with us yet, so you will be embarrassed first, I don't know what Niangniang will think of you when she hears it. After listening to Mu Wanwan's words, Xinyue lowered her head and smiled, feeling that she had misjudged just now, this Mu Wanwan is not only the daughter of Jiangmen, but also the daughter of the most favored princess.

After laughing, Xinyue coughed lightly and said, "Yes, in the harem in the future, the most important thing is harmony." So, since this topic was provoked by Miss Ji, then you are responsible for finishing this matter. Why, now that the world is like this, with a lawsuit on his body, can he redeem it as long as he takes the money? ”

"This, this..." Now she was speechless, it was Miss Ji, Xinyue saw her choking for a long time, turned her head to Xi'er and said, "Tell Your Majesty, this Miss Ji will not bring her to see me." ”

Xi'er nodded, "Yes, the slave has written it down." ”

Miss Ji is not a fool, as soon as she saw Xi'er act like this, she could roughly guess what Xinyue said, so she frowned and secretly scolded herself for saying something.

Because of Miss Ji's matter, the young ladies who were originally a little contemptuous and unconvinced also restrained in a timely manner, and even the young lady of Zhenguo Gong just lowered her head and didn't speak.

After the feast, after the new moon rewarded them with some things, she watched them thank them one by one and leave, and finally only the new moon was left in the hall, and the new moon raised her head and asked Xi'er, "Xi'er, how do you say this palace compares with these young women?" ”

"Niangniang, you are a little more beautiful than the most beautiful Lord Mu." Xi'er is right, Mu Wanwan is indeed the most beautiful among these people, and she is also the smartest one, Xinyue even had a thought in her heart, since Rong Ying likes smart women, maybe Mu Wanwan can replace herself and divert Rong Ying's attention from herself, this thought even made Xinyue feel relieved, but there was a sour feeling in her heart that was difficult to ignore.

"Vomit..."Not only in the heart, Xinyue bent down and vomited, the sourness in her stomach was even more uncomfortable, she didn't wait for the attendant to bring the utensils, she vomited out the little thing she had just eaten.

Xinyue vomited so darkly that she finally vomited out, she was still nauseous, and her head was dizzy, she reached out to support her forehead, thinking that her internal injuries should be getting worse and worse.

However, Xi'er looked at Xinyue with a happy face, "Niangniang..."

"You're still laughing when I'm so uncomfortable, let's go, take me back and lie down for a while." As he spoke, the new moon was about to stand up.

"Niangniang..."Xi'er didn't hold Xinyue, but pressed her to the chair.

Crescent Moon looked at her hand strangely and asked weakly, "What the hell do you want to do?" ”

"Niangniang, you wait, the slave and maid will pass on the imperial doctor." Saying that, Xi'er ran out happily, Xinyue rubbed her eyes, and made sure that she was not mistaken, Xi'er, who had always been serious, actually trotted out.

The attendants cleaned up the surroundings and smoked incense to relieve the dizziness and nausea of the new moon, who felt better with the light scent of flowers.

When he was about to go back to the palace to rest, Xi'er took the imperial doctor and came back in a hurry.

"Quick, Imperial Doctor Zhang, quickly check the pulse of Niangniang." Halfway through Imperial Physician Zhang's salute, he was pulled by Xi'er to Xinyue's hand, Xinyue was helpless, stretched out her hand and said to Xi'er, "You just want me to order it." ”

Imperial Physician Zhang stepped forward, he was a little panting because of running, but since his hand was on the pulse of the new moon, his eyebrows wrinkled, and then he looked at Xinyue's face, and then looked at Xinyue's neck, Xinyue roughly knew that this imperial doctor, and also took out of himself, because of the injuries on his forehead and neck, the void that was still left in his body, since the return of Liang Guo in the past few years, Xinyue has been carefully maintained, but it seems that he still has not been able to make up for this void.

"Niangniang, your body..."Imperial Doctor Zhang stopped when he wanted to speak.

Xinyue nodded, "Imperial Doctor Zhang, I have been eating Liang Guo's recipe, and it only stopped in the autumn of the previous year, but I want to show it to you?" ”

"Niangniang, please give me a look" Imperial Doctor Zhang took the prescription that Xinyue asked Fei'er to take, and after looking at it carefully, the pimple in the center of his eyebrows was sent away, "These medicines are really good medicines that are good for Niangniang's body, but Niangniang stopped taking medicine a little early, if you take it for a few more months, it will be more conducive to the development of the prince." ”

Xinyue didn't react for a while, and said straightly, "Prince? How could Lian'er develop because of the medicine I took, Imperial Doctor Zhang, you eat..."

Xi'er finally reacted when she saw Xinyue, and reached out to grab Xinyue's hand, "Yes, Niangniang, you are happy." ”

"What, what?" Xinyue hugged her stomach a little stunned, "I'm happy?" ”

"Damn it, yes, Niangniang, you are indeed pregnant, the minister thinks that Niangniang you know, look at Niangniang's vein, the child in your womb has been almost three months."

"Three months? How can it be? Why am I not responding at all? "Crescent doesn't believe it, she's clear...

The sunflower water of the new moon has always been inaccurate, so she doesn't have to remember the days too carefully, and now she counts with her fingers, and she has indeed not been here for a long time.

Fei'er was a little panicked, because when she took care of these things, Mama Wang was taking care of them, and Mama Wang would also be ready when Mama Wang didn't expect it, because of the two of them, Fei'er was not so sensitive to this matter, which made her feel happy when she heard the new moon, and she was still thinking about how she could be so careless.

"Niangniang, look at the vein of the dragon fetus, on the left, the reaction is slower than that of children in other fetal positions, and it will take at least two and a half months for the mother to be pregnant, and it is not a big deal to react. Although the foundation of Niangniang's body is somewhat damaged, but fortunately, Niangniang has been taking this medicine, and she has almost recovered. Imperial Physician Wang said very firmly.

Hearing what the imperial doctor said, Xinyue let go of the heart she had been carrying, she was really afraid that she would harm the child in her womb because of her poor health.

"Then from today on, you will have a safe baby for this palace, and everything will be done to you." Xinyue needed time to slow down, so she asked Xi'er to take the imperial doctor down to prescribe medicine, and she walked around the hall with her still flat belly.

"Mother," Philip called her.

"Mother-in-law..."Fei'er called out again, but there was still no movement.

"Niangniang..."Fei'er blocked Crescent Moon's way, and Crescent Moon looked up at her, "What did you say?" ”

"The slave asks you if you want to call Your Majesty." Fei'er's mouth couldn't close when she smiled.

Crescent Moon frowned, sighed, and said, "Can you not call him?" Before calling him, take Lian'er first, I have something to say to him. ”

Xinyue's biggest worry now is Lian'er. The child is now more than six years old, and his mind is sensitive. Last time, Mercy was pregnant, and he couldn't sleep with some sorrow, but now that he is pregnant, I don't know if he can accept it.

Back in her apse, Xinyue changed into loose clothes and scattered her hair, she didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she felt that the headache was worse.

At this time, I heard movement outside, which was the voice of Lian'er talking.

"Aunt Fei, why did you pick me up so early from school today, the master hasn't finished the lecture yet."

"Niangniang said I miss you." Fei'er replied.

"But when I went to class in the morning, I just said hello to my mother. Let's go, let's go quickly, don't make the queen wait too long. Saying that, Lian'er didn't wait for the attendant to open the curtain for him, he opened the curtain himself, bent down and came in.

As soon as he came in, he threw himself on the crescent moon's lap, "Mother, my son is back." ”

"You're back, how was your class today?" Xinyue smiled reluctantly, but Lian'er was already a little aware and asked, "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Lian'er, come, you sit down first." Saying that, Xinyue wanted to carry him to the couch, but Fei'er had already taken the lead and carried Lian'er to Xinyue's side.

Xinyue stretched out her hand and hugged Lian'er.

Lian'er was a little uneasy and asked, "Queen Mother, is something happening?" ”

"Lian'er, the queen mother has seen you since you were born." Xinyue touched Lian'er's hair, which was black and shiny, with the fragrance of soaphorn.

"The queen mother..."Lian'er hugged the new moon back.

"At that time, you were in your mother's belly, and she saw that I had been looking at her belly, so she simply took my hand and put it on her belly, and at that time I happened to feel your fetal movement, and I liked you very much, and I thought that you must be a smart and active child. Sure enough, when I saw you again, it was because you were reluctant to give up on my favorite butterfly hairpin, and you had to let me hold you, so I gave you my butterfly hairpin. ”

"Erchen returned it to you." Lian'er was a little embarrassed, when she heard Xinyue talk about this before, she immediately asked people to find this butterfly hairpin and gave it back to Xinyue.

"yes, you gave it back to me. But you are the best gift God has given me. I, Xu Xinyue, have no father or mother, and even my brother and my aunt are full of indifference and calculation towards me. I, I don't remember what it was like to be at home, and loved ones until I started taking care of you. Your every move, your words and deeds are all things that I care about, you are my relative, Lian'er, no matter what happens, you are my relative, my son. ”
