Lian'er's birthday has passed like this, and he is still very happy every day, which is what Xinyue wants to see, think about it, this is also his mother, think of it.

When I got up in the morning, Xinyue was a little tired, my belly was getting bigger and bigger, and the day of production was approaching, I remember that when Mercy was about to give birth, Xiao Li also came into the palace to take care of Mercy for a few days, and told Mercy some things about childbirth.

However, his mother is gone, and his aunt, who took care of him growing up, has also passed away. Mama Wang is out of the palace again, and there is no one around her who can be discussed.

She stood in front of the mirror, Xi'er saw that she was a little sad, and asked, "Niangniang, but Your Royal Highness is restless, spare you a good sleep?" ”

Xinyue shook her head, "Today he is a little better, I just thought, I am eight months pregnant, and the birth is imminent, but there is no one around me to talk to me about the birth." ”

"Mama Wang has been sick for the past few days, why don't you wait for Mama Wang to get better and let her enter the palace to take care of her mother for a few days?" Mama Wang has been sick since she left the palace, and Xinyue wanted to go to see her, but she politely refused, and finally said to Xinyue, "Girl, I just unloaded the burden on my body, and there is a moment of relaxation, and I will be well soon." ”

Xinyue glanced at the mirror and said, "I don't know if Mama Wang can get better before I give birth." ”

"Don't worry, Niangniang, Mama Wang is just a little weak, Your Majesty also sent someone to send a hundred years of ginseng, and asked the imperial doctor to ask for a pulse every other day, and it won't be long before Mama Wang is in better health than before she left the palace."

Xinyue listened and nodded, "That's good, that's good, the day before yesterday, I dreamed of her, I dreamed that she was standing with my mother, combing my mother's hair, and disgusted that I soiled the clothes she made for me, and I wanted her to change my dirty clothes, and this little thing woke up." As she spoke, Xinyue touched her somewhat round belly, "What if this is a girl?" ”

"Don't you like princesses?"

"I like it, I wish he was a girl, but if he can kick like this, I'm afraid he will be a wild girl." As he spoke, the new moon touched her stomach again, and the child in her belly kicked the new moon again as if she had sensed it.

Sensing that the child was moving, Xinyue couldn't help but smile, "Forget it, nothing matters, as long as he is healthy." Let's go, let's go out for a walk, today is Chai Guifei's birthday, let's go show up too. ”

"Niangniang, when it comes to Chai Guifei, the slave has something to say."

"Let's talk as we go." As he spoke, the new moon walked out of the Kun Palace.

At this time, it was already summer, and as soon as the new moon walked out of the palace gate, it became hot, but fortunately there was a cool shade in front of it, and it was cool to walk in it.

"Niangniang, do you know what Chai Guifei did?" Xi'er followed behind Xinyue and whispered.

"Oh? What did she do? Crescent asked.

"Let's talk about these ladies who have just entered the palace, they have been in the palace for more than two months, but there are only some ladies with good family backgrounds who know how to tie her up, and they have gone to bed, such as the lowest born, Meng, I think I haven't even seen His Majesty's face."

Xinyue listened and nodded, "I know this." ”

"Niangniang, you are not afraid, these low-ranking and low-born mothers, in order to get His Majesty's favor, will attach themselves to Chai Guifei and form a party with Chai Guifei, are you disadvantageous to Niangniang?"

After hearing this, Xinyue asked Xi'er, "Xi'er, do you think I should be worried?" ”

"Niangniang, although you don't take these things to heart now, but in the future, the eldest prince and the little highness, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be involved, you have to prepare early. Now that you have handed over the power of the harem to Chai Guifei, you have become the second person among these concubines. ”

Crescent Moon shook her head, "Even if I want to be second, I can't." I'm the target of this harem.,Always the most conspicuous one.,If you don't want to be attacked by the group.,Then you have to set up another target.,For example, Chai Bijun.。 For the women of the harem, grace is a necessity for their lives, if someone is in the middle of it and takes away the opportunity for them to meet His Majesty, then you say, can these concubines not hate their teeth in their hearts? Moreover, Chai Bijun has always looked down on these concubines from low backgrounds, and he doesn't like those who are nobler than her. This Mu Wanwan is gone, in this palace, it is naturally her Chai family, who has produced four queens, and she is the highest, she will not mix with the concubines with low status unless she has to. Therefore, the most worrying thing we should be about is her dealings with those high-born concubines. ”

Xi'er thought for a while and said, "Those few people are just from a family, and they don't seem to have any real power." ”

Crescent Moon nodded, "Maybe, is there anything else?" ”

"What's more, Chai Guifei didn't agree with what you said, Niangniang, to let a group of palace maids go out."

Crescent Moon frowned and asked, "Why?" ”

"Chai Guifei said that there are so many people in the palace at once, Niangniang, you are about to give birth, and there should be more people around you. With so many palace maids out of the palace, I am afraid that there will be a shortage of people serving in the palace. ”

"She even offended the palace maid?" Xinyue was not surprised that Chai Guifei wanted to form a party, but she didn't agree to this matter, and felt confused, "She doesn't understand, although we are the masters of these palace maids, but on the contrary, is it the most difficult thing to deal with?" ”

"Do you want to come to Chai Guifei, do you have other plans?"

"What can you do? She's not such a stupid person. To learn to take care of the palace people, even a little palace maid who lights a lamp is useful, this is what Chai Bijun's aunt, Queen Chai taught me. Thinking of Queen Chai, Yi Su smiled lightly, "As Queen Chai's own niece, it is impossible for her not to be taught this." ”

"Niangniang, in fact, Queen Chai didn't plan to let the concubine Niangniang enter the palace at first, but later, the first prince didn't choose Chai Guifei, and Queen Chai still breathed a sigh of relief."

"Why?" Xi'er has been serving in the palace for many years, and she should know these things.

"It is said that I don't want my niece, like myself, to be trapped in this palace for the rest of my life."

Xinyue nodded, "This is indeed the character of Queen Chai, but Chai Bijun didn't appreciate it." Letting the palace maid out of the palace, you press it again, if she has other excuses, don't let people make noise around the palace. I'll do it when I have a baby. ”

"Yes" said, the two walked to a bridge, Xi Er stretched out his hand, helped the new moon, and walked over slowly, not far from the bridge, it was the palace where Chai Bijun was.

And Chai Bijun's birthday, although it is not an integer, Rong Ying can be regarded as giving her face, so that she can live according to the whole number, but although she appreciated it, she only held a small banquet, set it up in her own palace, and posted a post, but she only invited the concubines and Rong Ying in the palace.

Xinyue naturally received the post, but she didn't plan to stay, since it was the day when someone else was the protagonist, she didn't want to be disgusted, so she planned to give gifts in person, and she also attached importance to it, and just left after a few words of greeting.

At this time, there are lotus flowers in the lake, and there are several little palace maids, who are boating in it, picking lotus flowers that bloom into bones, and fresh lotus leaves, and seeing the new moon standing by the bridge, they immediately stopped the boat and asked the new moon to say goodbye.

"You pick a few more good ones and send them to the palace, and the palace will be rewarded." This pink lotus and emerald green lotus are the most beautiful, and the crescent moon is also very fond.

"Yes" The palace maids received the order, and they picked it up more vigorously.

Because of this little episode, the new moon is in a good mood, and walks forward slowly, there is the cry of summer cicadas, and it is only for the occasion, and it will not be so noisy.

Chai Bijun got the news that the new moon was coming, so he stood at the door and waited for the new moon, at this time it was only noon, and there was still some time before the noon banquet, although Chai Bijun felt strange, but she always knew the coldness of the new moon, and welcomed her in with a smile.

This is the first time the new moon came to Chai Bijun's palace, it is very spacious here, the furnishings and layout are also very extraordinary, very in line with Chai Bijun's bearing, the new moon saw a large vase in the conspicuous place, there was a full bottle of white lotus, the new moon frowned, and asked, "The lotus flowers that came all the way are pink lotus, why is there a moon white lotus in the palace of the concubine?" ”

"Back to Niangniang's words, this is Your Majesty early this morning, let someone send it to our mother, saying that he knows that our mother likes the moon lotus outside the city, so let the people outside the city pick it before dawn, and as soon as the city gate opens, it will be sent to our mother."

Xinyue listened to the maid beside Chai Bijun and nodded, "I see." ”

"Niangniang also likes lotus flowers?" On the long skirt of Chai Bijun to see the crescent moon, the embroidery is all moon-white lotus.

Xinyue followed her gaze, looked at her dress, and then smiled, "It's not as good as you like it, concubine, it's just that in this summer, there are unique and beautiful flowers, but there are only lotus flowers." Your Majesty has a heart, you see that on this lotus leaf, there is still morning dew. ”

"It's just a little bit of His Majesty's heart, it's not something worth showing off, Niangniang drinks tea, it's summer tea, and the taste is the strongest."

"Okay" said Xinyue, picking up the teacup at hand, and along the way, she was really a little thirsty.

Xi'er looked at Xinyue a little nervously, Xinyue shook her head, she didn't believe that Chai Bijun could harm herself in broad daylight.

After drinking tea, Xinyue stretched out his hand to let Xi'er offer a gift, "This is the last year, the agate from the Western Regions into the palace, I saw that the color is good, and the material is not small, so I put it away and prepare to make a jewelry or something, but today is your birthday, and you have always liked agate, so I will give you this piece of seed material, you, find a skilled craftsman, and make it into the style you like." It's also a celebration of your birthday. ”

"Xie Niangniang" Chai Bijun is still the same, with an unclear look of joy and anger, and his smile is also faint, looking at the eyes of the new moon, it is also virtual and real, which makes people uncomfortable, and he can't jump out of the thorn.

"Well, this tea is good, another cup." Saying that, Xinyue asked people to refill tea for herself, and after sitting for a cup of tea, Xinyue said goodbye and left.

Xi'er followed behind Xinyue, seeing that Xinyue was walking faster and faster, it was really not the pace that she should have as a pregnant person, so before Xinyue walked on the bridge, she took her hand, "Niangniang, Niangniang, you go slower, you are not alone now." ”

"Oh, why does Your Majesty know that our mother likes the moon white lotus the most, you look at the whole palace, that concubine doesn't like lotus, and this lotus flower is already a hint of red but not cheesy color, but the moon white one looks different?"

"Niangniang, on the edge of your skirt, it is also a moon white lotus, you said, the moon white lotus has the Buddha nature that ordinary lotus flowers do not have, I want to come to the Buddha smiled when he was holding flowers, and it was also the moon white lotus." Xi'er saw Xinyue's face flushing, and she looked very angry.

"Yes, yes?" Xinyue lowered her head, and saw that it was indeed Yue Baihe on her dress, so she immediately reached out and pushed the skirt aside, "It's so hot here, go, give me another skirt to change." ”

"Niangniang, we're going to the palace soon, let's go back to the palace and change it."

"Then what are you doing in a daze, let's go quickly."

As he spoke, the crescent moon still strode forward.

Chai Bijun sent the crescent moon all the way to the door, and then stood in place, watching the crescent moon disappear on the bridge in front of him, and then turned back to his maid Li'er and said, "Let's go, let's go back." ”

"Niangniang, are you angry when you look at the queen like that?"

"She's angry, what do we have to do with it?" Chai Bijun looked at his maid lightly.

"She just can't get used to seeing your majesty's favor."

When Chai Bijun heard this, he couldn't help but sneer, "She can't get used to it? In this palace, who has Xu Xinyue who is favored by His Majesty, she, she doesn't need to look down on me, she can't look at it, it's just Your Majesty, a thing that has always been in his hands, and suddenly cares more about other women, but this is a point that can continue to be used. With that, Chai Bijun turned around and walked into his palace.

It was night, Xinyue was sitting on the edge of her bed, and she had already played three times, Xinyue looked at the still empty bed, and asked Xi'er outside, "Xi'er, hasn't Your Majesty come back from the banquet at Chai Guifei?" ”

"Niangniang, come to think of it, Your Majesty is going to rest at the concubine Niangniang's place today, today is the birthday of the concubine Niangniang."

After hearing this, Xinyue nodded, "Yes, that's the truth, turn off the lights, I'm going to rest." ”

Xinyue was lying on the bed, looking at the curtain above her head a little sluggishly, Rong Ying didn't come today, not all day.

It's not like this in the past, the two always have conflicts because of some trivial things, Rong Ying always sleeps in the study, and even invites other concubines to go to bed, but Xinyue has never been in such a mood today, this is a deep sourness from the bottom of his heart, and he also has a sense of pain, Xinyue rubbed the embroidery piece on the pillow with his hand, and said to himself, "Yue Bai Lotus, he also knows that Chai Bijun likes Yue Bai Lotus, and he doesn't know if he knows what flowers I like." ”

The crescent moon tossed and turned, and I don't know how long it took before I slowly fell asleep
