Ouyang Zhen looked at the little emperor's face that resembled Li Yinghong, and his heart was full of emotion, Xu's temper was much more restrained now, and there was a thick smile between his eyebrows and eyes.

She hugged the little emperor Ji and said to Ouyang Zhen: "I didn't expect the child to be so small and soft, growing up day by day, it's really amazing." ”

Ouyang Zhen nodded, now the Xu family is no longer the same pungent and unreasonable appearance as Ouyang Zhen when he first entered the Hou Mansion, it seems that people will really change with time and changes in the world.

Chu Ning and the fifth month of the second year passed like this, because Li Yinghong's death shocked Chu Huotian very much, he carefully consulted several imperial doctors, and finally issued a holy decree that harem women should not get pregnant before eighteen. If a woman is in weak health, she shall not be pregnant if she is under 19.

This holy decree shocked the whole country, but many women of Chu were grateful, and they all said that Chu Huotian was a rare saint in the ages, and they embraced him more and more in their hearts.

In June, the sky became hotter and hotter, and Ouyang Zhen's belly grew bigger day by day, and he became more and more afraid to go out, for fear that the sun would be too hot. Chu Huotian was afraid that she would suffer from heat stroke during pregnancy, so he asked the Internal Affairs Office to bring ice cubes from the ice cellar, and put them in the four corners of the inner hall at noon, and the slightest cool air came out, which could block a lot of heat outside.

He also ordered a tall waterwheel to be erected outside the house, and the water flowed down from the roof of the house, so that the heat was relieved of a lot. In addition, the sound of the water is loud, and there is also another style.

Wan Hui was also very clever, and cooked a lot of refreshing and delicious meals, for fear that Ouyang Zhen would be tired and eat less every day. Ouyang Zhen saw all this in his eyes, and his heart was very moved, every day is to meditate and settle the baby, and this body has become more and more rounded.

Ouyang Zhen's figure became fat day by day with her belly, and the Internal Affairs Office was ordered to make new clothes for her, and presented a lot of tulle raw silk from all over Chudi, Ouyang Zhen only ordered three sets to be cut according to the color.

Wan Hui was surprised: "Why don't you make a few more sets?" Ouyang Zhen smiled and said: "Auntie, you see that I have enough clothes, the emperor likes to be thrifty, and we have to take the lead in this palace, don't we?" She was very clever, and ordered the Shangfu Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pull a few more folds at the hem of the palace dress, and then bring a belt, so that the belly is bigger, the belt is more relaxed, and she can dress well, and because of this flowing belt, it can have a slimming effect.

In June, the lotus flowers in the forest garden were in full bloom, and Ouyang Zhen took advantage of his temperament to see a few times, and the breeze passed through, full of lotus fragrance. She went to Shanglin Yuan to watch the lotus for a few mornings in a row, and waited until the sun was big before returning to the palace.

One day, Ouyang Zhen got up in the morning, had breakfast, and still took Wan Hui to the forest garden. Ming Ying also took Xiao Linxiang to follow. The group was elated, the air was fresh in the morning, Xiao Linxiang was almost three years old, and he liked to run and jump around very much. There is also a flat boat in the lotus pond of the forest garden, and the warbler called a few small servants to shake the boat to pick lotus. After a while, it was full, and I picked a boat, which was fragrant.

Wan Hui smiled and said: "Niangniang, this lotus flower is placed next to the ice, and as the ice melts, the room will be full of fragrance." ”

Ouyang Zhen also nodded yes, and said with a smile: "Then pick some good lotus flowers to make lotus fragrance, and wipe it off in summer." Wan Hui smiled and nodded: "Niangniang doesn't have to interfere, let the slave come, make the fragrance and dew." ”

Ouyang Zhen was helpless: "Auntie, don't you think that this palace is too delicate, and you raise it every day, not afraid of becoming a pig?" ”

Mingying laughed out loud when she heard this: "If Niangniang becomes a pig, she must be the most beautiful one in the harem." Ouyang Zhen is very fond of her, so he can't help her in words on weekdays. Now that she has tasted the bitterness, seeing that she is becoming more and more unreasonable, she can't help but be annoyed and angry, and threatens to beat her.

The warbler was not afraid, but only hid with a smile. Xiao Linxiang saw her hiding around thinking it was some fun game, giggled, and ran around with her.

Ouyang Zhen was angry and funny, and said to Wan Hui: "Auntie sees that this little hoof is becoming more and more unruly, what should I do if I marry someone in the future?" ”

Wan Hui smiled and sighed: "She is the most heartless in this palace, but she is clever, but no one else can replace her." ”

Ouyang Zhen couldn't help but sigh lightly, these days she has been thinking about what to do when Ming Ying is older, if she gets married, she is worried that she will lose her arm, and if she doesn't marry, she is afraid that she will miss her life. It's really annoying.

Wan Hui leaned into Ouyang Zhen and said in a low voice: "The slave maid looks at the Qin Imperial Doctor and has a little meaning to her, and the mother sees if it is ......."

Ouyang Zhen nodded: "I have this meaning, I'm afraid that I will overdo it and make people look away." Who in the whole palace doesn't know that Ming Ying is my confidant palace maid? ”

Wan Hui also nodded. The matter will not be mentioned again.

Ouyang Zhen saw that the sun was about to bloom, and was about to go back, when he suddenly saw a golden canopy in the distance, and a group of people came over.

Ouyang Zhen was stunned for a moment, according to this battle, isn't the queen coming? She hurriedly asked Dexuan to send a small chamberlain to investigate. After a while, the little chamberlain came back to report, and sure enough, the queen came.

Ouyang Zhen hurriedly straightened his clothes, and Wan Hui helped him to step forward. She is pregnant, and if she is tired, she doesn't go to ask for peace often. Especially after Li Yinghong's death, she felt pain in her heart, and she rarely went out of the palace.

I haven't been to say hello to the queen for a few days. With a hint of trepidation in her heart, she hurried forward.

When I got to the front, I took a closer look, and sure enough, it was the queen who came. She hurriedly walked a few steps, knelt down with a hard stomach and said, "Rou Fangyi respectfully invites Jin An to the queen mother, and wishes the mother a thousand blessings and good health." ”

When the queen saw it, she left the grandmother who was holding her, stepped forward to help her get up and said: "What a coincidence, I heard that the lotus flowers in Shanglin Yuan are blooming well in the past few days, and I wanted to come over to take a look, but I didn't expect Rou Fangyi to be there." ”

As she spoke, she affectionately took her hand and walked to the water pavilion opposite the lotus pond: "It's hot here, go over there to drink some tea, and then use some fruit, just this queen is in good health today." I just want to pull people to talk about gossip. ”

There was a hint of coldness in her hands, which became more and more warm in Ouyang Zhen's hands. Ouyang Zhen saw her smiling, but his heart became more and more panicked.

She had never dared to look down on the queen's methods, and now seeing her so warm with herself made her even more uneasy.

Thinking about it, she hurriedly gently broke away from the hand held by the queen, respectfully helped her with her backhand, and quietly took half a step back, not daring to be parallel to her, and said with a smile: "The queen's good health is the blessing of our palace, the concubine has copied a Buddhist scripture in the past few days, and after a few days, she will present it to the queen's mother, so as to add blessings and longevity to the mother." ”

Seeing her so respectful, the queen's face became more and more kind, patted her hand and smiled: "You are pregnant now, don't do these troublesome things, but then again, the Buddhist scriptures you copied are neat and very delicate, and you can't put it down." ”
