Chapter 135: A Thousand Miles
Shi Qingqian's words won the favor of Concubine Shugui, especially the imperial doctor in the palace did not dare to say whether the fetus in the womb was male or female, but Shi Qingqian said it in one word.
Concubine Shu is not stupid, she will not really believe in what Shi Qingqian said, 'It should be a son', but the imperial doctors are afraid of getting into trouble, so they don't dare to say it at will, even if they really diagnose the man's pulse, they can't say it.
And Shi Qingqian's words just gave her this hope and made her heart very happy.
said that it was a family banquet, but the emperor Shen Lun may have been afraid of the children's restraints, so he did not come to participate from beginning to end.
The bright moon was already in the sky, like a bright lamp, hanging above the dark sky. As the saying goes, 'the moon of the fifteenth is sixteen round', but Shi Qingqian looked at the full moon on the fifteenth, and it was already round like a jade plate, without a single edge.
However, this August 15th has always been the season for wanderers to return home, and on August 15 this year, the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shi Qingqian looked at the bright moon in the sky, but he longed for a person.
I don't know if the moon in the Northern Desert camp is as round and bright as in the capital.
The northern desert, the weight of a great power, will be in the camp.
"Lord Wang, when the soldiers of the third team passed by the border city today, the people inside specially made some more moon cakes and brought them back to the brothers." A soldier walked into Shen Shu's tent with a simple bamboo basket, and he happily lifted the lid of the basket, revealing the golden mooncakes stacked inside.
Changwu looked at it, his eyes lit up, since he came to the Northern Desert, whether it was food or consumption, everything was simple, on weekdays, he didn't think the moon cakes were good, and today he felt that the burnt moon cakes looked so delicious.
He hurriedly took a piece, and most of it went down with one bite, "Well, Lord Wang, you taste it, it's delicious!" ”
Shen Shu nodded, picked it up and ate a piece.
Without saying a word, he walked out of the battalion commander.
Even during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the soldiers in the camp are still practicing diligently. According to the cable newspaper, the soldiers and horses of the neighboring countries are already gradually moving towards the border of the northern desert, and this big battle may be ten days later, or maybe tomorrow, it will be on the verge of breaking out.
Shen Shu looked up at Haoyue, he was not afraid of war, but was waiting for it with full spirit. Because he knew that as long as this war was won, he would have the most suitable reason to return to Beijing immediately.
He played with the rabbit-shaped purse in his hand, and these days, the only one that accompanied him with the sword at hand was this purse.
The so-called 'thousands of miles together', people who are in different places and thousands of miles apart only understand at this time why the wanderers in the world use the moon above their heads to express their lovesickness.
Because it is bright enough, people thousands of miles away can see the same scenery at the same time, and the feelings of longing also overflow with the soft moonlight.
The dinner party here in the capital has also come to an end.
All the young masters and young ladies have presented congratulatory gifts to Concubine Shu, but most of them are new clothes for children, or things like longevity locks. Although Concubine Shu thanked and admired again and again, she couldn't help but feel that she was not new.
Until Shi Qingqian asked Xiaolian to take the congratulatory gift he had prepared.
I saw her take out a pillow-shaped thing from the delicate wooden box and hand it to Concubine Shu.
"Concubine Shu, this is a fragrant pillow specially made by the courtiers, in addition to buckwheat husk, it is also mixed with perilla leaves, skullcap and other good medicines for the fetus, in addition to aged lavender, osmanthus and other soothing herbs." Shi Qingqian obediently explained, "During pregnancy, it is inevitable to have heart palpitations, headaches, and restless sleep. ”
Concubine Shu's eyes lit up, and she couldn't put down the delicate fragrant pillow embroidered with flowers on the red background, "Qingqi really has a heart, I will use this fragrant pillow tonight." She stroked the delicate embroidery on the incense pillow with her slender jade fingers, and asked curiously, "Qingqi, this embroidery is exquisite." ”
Shi Qingqian smiled shyly, "The embroidery on this is sewn by my mother, Mrs. Shi. The dragon and phoenix on it are auspicious, it means that the mother and the emperor, the husband and wife are harmonious, and there are butterflies and peaches on it, butterflies, the sound is 'blessing', peaches, it is more than 'longevity', and the eight-color streamers on it are meant to be protected by eight treasures. I hope to pray for auspiciousness for Concubine Shu, and I also hope that the fetus in the concubine's womb can live a long and prosperous life. ”
The embroidery on the incense pillow has an excellent meaning, coupled with Shi Qingqian's sharp teeth, which makes Concubine Shu's heart happy, and she is busy ordering people to carefully put this incense pillow into the box at the head of the bed.
Because Concubine Shu was pregnant and not suitable for too much work, she dismissed everyone and told them to enjoy the moon in the palace by themselves, or they could go back to the house to rest.
Shi Qingqian and Zuo Shinian were not in a hurry to return to the palace, the two of them were dragged by the fifth princess to the imperial garden, fortunately, the night was not cold at this time, and the three of them decided to take advantage of the moonlight to talk for a while.
They talked in the pavilion for a while, and suddenly heard a noise in their ears, and when they followed the sound and looked over, they found that it was Jiang Yuhua, who was wearing a big red robe, and came over with many little maids.
"Yo, the three younger sisters are here too?" Jiang Yuhua's exaggerated expression, even fools can see that she deliberately came here to find fault, "It's just right, my sisters can taste my food." ”
With that, she stretched out her hand and waved, and the maids squeezed the pastries in their hands onto the small white jade table where the three of them were sitting.
"I know that my sister loves to eat chestnut cake the most, and this chestnut cake is also specially made by the dining room in the palace," Jiang Yuhuatian shamelessly squeezed this and sat next to Shi Qingqian, and pretentiously pushed the jade plate in front of Shi Qingqian, "Sister Qian, try it, the dim sum in the imperial dining room, my sister should not be able to eat it on weekdays." ”
The three of them tacitly ignored her, and Shi Qingqian rolled his eyes.
The weasel must not have a good heart when he greets the chickens. Jiang Yuhua has always been unaccustomed to the three of them, but at this time, he suddenly came to contact the three of them affectionately, and he knew what was wrong without thinking too much.
Shi Qingqian looked at the chestnut cake in front of him, saw that there was a layer of fine sand-like hoarfrost sprinkled on it, and looked at Jiang Yuhua's appearance that he had to eat it himself, so he knew that the hoarfrost on it must be a bad thing.
Shi Qingqian was persuaded by Jiang Yuhua to be irritable, slapped the table, and said, "Sister Jiang, this precious chestnut cake is not something I can enjoy, so sister should eat it herself." ”
After saying that, Zuo Shinian also stood up, and the two of them picked up a piece of chestnut cake in one hand and stuffed it into Jiang Yuhua's mouth.
"You guys! You're crazy!? Jiang Yuhua struggled, but was held down vigorously by Zuo Shinian's hands.
The subordinates she brought wanted to come forward, but they were frightened back by the arrogant eyes of the fifth princess. After all, in front of the five princesses, they still didn't dare to act recklessly.
"It's so delicious, let's eat more!" Zuo Shinian had wanted to do this for a long time, but at this time, she pressed Jiang Yuhua's hands and watched Shi Qingqian stuff the chestnut cake into her mouth, and she only felt very happy.
After stuffing three or five pieces, Zuo Shinian was willing to let go, and she and Shi Qingqian slapped their hands tacitly. looked triumphantly at Jiang Yuhua, who was choked on chestnut cakes and rolled his eyes. She slowed down for a long time before she spit out all the chestnut cakes in her mouth. However, even so, there are many that she swallowed.
"Sister Jiang, is it delicious?" Shi Qingqian asked deliberately.
Jiang Yuhua's face was already distorted, she clutched her throat and scolded: "Shi Qingqian! I'm going to kill you! ”
