Chang Rufei and Rong An are not superstitious people.

But when that kind of bad omen appeared one after another, the two could only look at it with the intention of believing it or not.

Where did they still have the heart to play with arrows, all the interest of the two disappeared and they sat back at the dinner table.

Rong An silently went to the room and put the five-petal flower talisman bracelet that Zhu Chengyi gave her two years ago on her wrist. A few days ago, after the emperor revealed his ambition to Yan An, Rong An had to think about his safety, so he found the bracelet again at that time, and asked his father to replenish the medicine in the petals.

She didn't know what she was afraid of, and she didn't think it would work. But for the sake of peace of mind, she just wanted to take it.

And when she came out of the inner room, Chang Rufei also walked out of the other room......

"You take it with you."

Chang Rufei gave Xiaobao, that is, Zhu Yongze's worm, to Rong An.

When Chang Rufei took the child north, Zhu Yongze left the worm for her self-defense.

"On the way from Gyeongnam, I used it to identify poison. Xiaobao is fed with poison and is most sensitive to poison, and if you take it with you, it may be able to help you. Some dirty things, it will also feel something. ”

Chang Rufei looked Rong An up and down: Although she is more than five months pregnant, she is still slender and her body is flexible. If something happens, even if you can't fight, it shouldn't be a problem to run away.

Chang Rufei also saw Rong An's bracelet and knew that it could hurt people. With Xiaobao in this way, she can both protect herself and fight back.

"What do you mean...... Dirty? "Rong An still heard Zhu Chengyi talk about the benefits of Xiaobao when she was in the paddock two and a half years ago, and knew that Xiaobao would suck poisonous blood, and she didn't remember the rest for a long time. However, Zhu Yongze bothered to be a baby to raise, it must be powerful.

"Actually, I don't know. Anyway, you take it with you, even if you want to be at ease. Chang Rufei didn't say a word, and put Xiaobao in the palm of Rong An's hand, "You two are familiar with each other." ”

Xiaobao knows Rong'an, and he has been here for so long, so he has long been familiar with it. On Rong'an's palm, it only twisted it at will, and then shrunk its body into a ball, as if it was asleep.

Chang Rufei smiled: "In the end, it eats people and has a soft mouth, but it knows each other." Others, even my maids, don't even want to touch it! She went to pick up the sewing box and took Rong An's lotus pink spring dress hanging at the head of the bed, "You wear this to the palace, right?" ”

"No, I changed."

Rong An opened his wardrobe and found a dress with a light blue color to come out. "Nebula saw me last month and said that I had a fire this year and was short of water, so I was asked to wear blue and black." Since there are some evil sects, she still needs to be careful and believe in the old monk once.

Xingyun, who traveled all over the world, suddenly returned to Beijing last month.

Rong An asked him why he came back suddenly, and he babbled and said what his heart was going and where his body was going.

He persuaded him to wear a blue word, but Rong An didn't listen to it, but the water chestnut was hearted. Rong An has never liked blue very much, but he thinks it is too dull and a little depressed. So her clothes are on the bright side. In plain tones, the only ones she likes are light cyan and light purple. As a result, she has almost no blue clothing.

No, the water chestnut rushed out a few light blue clothes for her at that time, but she didn't wear them once. It's all new.

"Just wear this!" Thinking about the whole situation in the past month, Rong An really didn't dare to underestimate Monk Xingyun.

"Give it to me."

Chang Rufei took the clothes, turned the sleeves upside down, and found a piece of cloth with a similar color and texture to the inner lining, and took the scissors and needles and threads to start working.

"It's ......"

"I'll sew a little pocket on your cuffs, and I'll put the little treasure in it later. It's breathable, it allows you to feel the outside world more fully, and it's easy to alert you to what's going on. ”

Rong An responded, watching Chang Rufei skillfully thread the needle and thread, and was amazed: "Is this still the Miss Chang I know?" When did you do the needlework yourself and do it so well? Disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

"Practice makes perfect. When I was running, I had a lot of places to patch along the way. If you don't want to be skilled, you can't do it. Chang Rufei glared at her. There is a joke about my kung fu, you still want to think about it, do you want to bring a few more people, do you want to bring Xiaohe, do you want to put more weapons in the carriage? ”

The two looked at each other.

If there is danger, it should not be in the palace where there are groups of guards and people coming and going, most of them will only be on the way to and from the palace. Almost at the same time, the two thought of Zhu Yongtai, who died miserably that day and was assassinated without the power to resist......

"Well, Xiaohe, you and I entered the palace today." On the day the King of Thailand was killed, she was also with Xiaohe. "You go and tell Ah Sheng, and let him use the secret guard from the coachman to the people who accompany the car. Find some more guards to follow. When I leave the palace, I have to wait outside. ”

Rong An thought about it, but still asked Xiaohe to call Ah Sheng, she planned to explain it herself......

In addition, she opened the clothes box again and flipped through it. After the last King of Thailand incident, Zhu Chengyi and her father gave her some self-defense supplies.

It's a pity that because I'm pregnant, I can't use the belt with a soft whip inside.

Because you will be inspected when you enter the palace, you can't bring a dagger that can be buttoned into your sleeve.

rummaged through, and she only found a suitable hairpin, which was also given by Zhu Chengyi.

At this moment, the appearance of this hairpin looks very ordinary, it is a flowing cloud shape, with a string of tassels, simple and not valuable, inconspicuous. But the gold of the hairpin is a movable casing, and when it is opened, there is a sharp steel needle inside.

The length is long enough to poke down hard to pierce the neck in half. If you redraw it, it will be enough to open the flesh.

Rong An turned over some self-defense items and let them all be moved to the carriage.

"So, can you feel more at ease?" Chang Rufei smiled and pulled her to the dining table.

"Not really." Rong An felt that her uneasiness didn't seem to be about her safety.

"You'd better eat more."

Chang Rufei put snacks into Rong'an's bowl all the time.

Rong An shook her head, she couldn't eat.

This fetus has a light appetite, not to mention any soup dumplings, steamed dumplings and the like, but she can't eat a lot of stir-fried dumplings.

Chang Rufei: "You have to be full, don't talk about the banquet night, I'm afraid that the big fish and meat at the banquet will not suit your appetite." Don't starve your children. ”

Rong An exhaled heavily, grabbed an osmanthus cake directly and gnawed on it.

"Leave me and my children alone and feed your worms before you have enough. You don't want me to go to the Imperial Garden to catch insects for it. Rong An glanced at the worm that was still lying on the table, and he hadn't looked at his worm. Slacker!

……

Rong An's uneasiness did not subside until he got into the carriage.

The swords and daggers on the seat of the car were all ready, plus the guards and the coachman on the bright side, a total of six people sent her, and eight people secretly followed, just this battle...... She's also slightly funny.

Looking back at the General's Mansion from the back window, she couldn't help but wonder.

She always felt that she was not in danger, so the object of her anxiety was not the people around her? Could it be the General's Palace?

She called the carriage to stop.

"Is my brother in the house today?" If Yu Tong is here, she can still feel at ease.

"The young master will be at home for ten days starting tomorrow, and today he said that he was going to Jingwei Yamen to hand over some affairs. I'll be back in the afternoon. Does the girl have something to explain? ”

"It's fine."

After thinking about it, she told Ah Sheng again: "After I wish my birthday, I will find a reason to return first when I give the silver." If I don't leave the palace by the time I arrive, you can ask the palace guard to bring a letter, saying that there is something in the palace for me to return quickly. "Go home early, be more grounded in the house.

Rong An also went to Ah Hu and made a warning, asking him to pay special attention to the mansion today, the number of patrols has doubled, and the number of times has doubled, so that everyone who can't slack off has to cheer up......

"If there is a situation in the house, you must go and bring me a letter."

Ah Hu Ah Sheng was made nervous by her, and Qi asked her what happened.

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. Today...... The sky is not good. She casually talked nonsense and got into the carriage, while Ah Sheng and Ah Hu raised their eyes to look at the cloudless sky together......

The palace is still the same.

Rong An first went to Cining Palace to make a head, visited the Queen Mother who had not recovered from a serious illness, and met Yin Xin.

"You don't look good." Rong An looked Yin Xin up and down. I didn't sleep well, and I could barely see it when I covered it with fat powder. But Yin Xin's face was not as good as herself. It was haggard, and it couldn't be suppressed at all.

"I ...... Oh, yes. Didn't sleep well last night. ”

Rong An'an said, most likely because King Ning was forced to raise money, and it was the Yin family who was waiting to be slaughtered, so Yin Xin's position was awkward, and some people were not human.

"Morning sickness?"

"It's still a young month, but it's not."

"I've got some recipes for pregnant women, I'll send them to you later." Rong An smiled at her.

"Thank you."

"Why are you so sad!" Rong An pinched her face. "Don't think about it when you're pregnant. Let's be happy. When the sky falls, someone will always go to it. You have short arms, you are short, you can't do anything, just follow your heart or do it, don't embarrass yourself. ”

Rong An comforted casually, but he didn't know which sentence stabbed Yin Xin.

That Yin Xin took her hand and tightened suddenly, and her eyes were a little red when she looked at her.

"What? Can I help you? Rong An owes Yin Xin a favor, and always wants to pay it back.

"You...... Can you help me? ”

"Let's put it this way, as long as it is within my ability, it will not touch my bottom line, and it will not harm me, I can help you. How can I help you, you can tell me. ”

Yin Xin was silent for two breaths, but finally let go of Rong An's hand, "You can't help me." But thank you. I have taken your words to heart. ”

Yin Xin didn't follow Rong An back to the banquet, but didn't even bring the girl, and went for a walk in Cining Garden alone, saying that she had something to think about.

Rong An walked a few steps and turned around, looking at her back as if she was lost and depressed.

What's wrong with everyone?

The sun is shining all over the body, and it should be very warm, but I don't feel the warmth, but the cold and compassionate......

Since it is the birthday of the saint, there must be pomp and circumstance.

The banquet was held in the Baohe Hall as usual.

Before the emperor arrived, the guests were basically there, and they were finding their seats and greeting each other.

Male and female guests sit separately.

Rong An glanced at the audience, and it was really rich or expensive.

Most of the expensive ones are relatives of the emperor.

Remaining ...... Well, some of the most famous wealthy families in the capital have arrived.

As she guessed, neither Yan Feiqing nor Tao Yun came. To be precise, neither the Yan family nor the Tao family came. There are two people from the Chang family, the old lady and the third master Chang.

Wait, Rong An suddenly found that none of the Liao family came.

The Liao family has a very thick foundation, how can they let them go?

It just so happened that King Ning was walking around and had arrived nearby, so Rong An greeted him.

"Your Highness has worked hard."

"It's just for my father's worries."

"Your Highness, why don't you see the Liao family?"

King Ning was stunned for a moment, and then patted his head. "Liao's ...... Ben Wang didn't send anyone to deliver the post. King Ning looked ignorant, and he didn't understand why he wanted to invite the Liao family today.

Rong Anhehe, it seems that the guest list is all drawn up by King Ning, otherwise the emperor will not forget to kill the Liao family, but it will be cheaper for the Liao family.

Rong An: "The Liao family has a good net worth. ”

King Ning smiled and nodded: "That's too late, this king will let people invite." As soon as he raised his eyebrows, he said he would do it, and called his subordinates to give a few orders. By the way, what about the little grandson? Heard sick? Do you want the king to arrange for the imperial doctor to go to the general's mansion? ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness, don't bother. The child was not in the General's Mansion, and his wind and cold were some heirs, so he lived in the palace. It's no big deal, just rest. ”

"Yo. It's a pity. "King Ning rarely stretches his brows." The king wanted to hug him. ”

"Your Highness likes children, and they will soon be able to hug them every day. Princess Yin is pregnant, and she hasn't congratulated Her Royal Highness yet......"

"It's easy to say...... it's easy to say"

"Hey, Princess Yin hasn't come over yet?" The banquet started immediately, but Rongan found that Yin Xin was still not there.

"It seems to say that he is doing his filial piety in Cining Palace instead of this king."

Forehead? Rong An is unknown. The Queen Mother is sick, Yin Xin is a pregnant woman and filial piety, is it appropriate? Aren't you afraid of getting sick? Why is Yin Xin weird?

Rong An and King Ning were greeting, and an attendant came to report that the emperor's eldest grandson would not be able to come today.

It turned out that Zhu Hongwen had not studied for several days because the life and death of King Xing were unknown. Every day, he is either crazy about practicing martial arts, or worshipping the Buddha and praying, and even Baiyun Temple has been there three times, and one kneeling is a day, just asking his father to be safe......

said that Zhu Hongwen knelt down in the Buddhist hall last night, and when the next person went in to deliver tea, he found that Zhu Hongwen had fainted on the futon.

The doctor looked at it and said that he was overwhelmed and overworked. In the midst of fainting, Zhu Hongwen also talked nonsense, tears flowed, and the imperial doctor said that this was because he was too nervous, and the medicine prescribed was all calming, and he told him to rest well.

When King Ning sent someone to visit him this morning and invited him to the palace for a banquet, the emperor's edict also arrived, saying that the emperor's eldest grandson was exempted from today's prostration, and it was important to recuperate from his body......

Rong An sighed secretly. Poor man again. Last year, my mother was gone, and this year my father had an accident again, a huge palace, how can he support a child? If King Xing is gone, he will be the first to be in danger!

Rong An raised his head, but he just happened to face King Ning, who had an aggravated snort and a bad complexion.

King Ning was afraid that Rong An would misunderstand, but he explained: "The princess doesn't know anything, and King An will not enter the palace today." Since the starling brother went, the eighth sister-in-law has lived in a simple place. She had already brought King An into the palace yesterday and kowtowed to her father in advance. ”

He smiled bitterly again: "So, today, my father's birthday, but there is not a single grandchild who came to bow down to him!" This king's banquet is still unqualified! ”

King Ning laughed and left, Rong An shook his head, another pitiful?

A gust of wind blew at the door, and Rong An was excited, this spring, it's so cold!
