"Why does the mother lose her temper and skip eating?" Meng Zhaoyi asked Mingcai to take the soup over, "It just so happened that the concubine made chicken soup, can you taste a little?" ”

"Why is Sister Meng here?" Ruoyan went up and grabbed Meng Zhaoyi's hand, "It's just my sister who called me Niangniang in front of me, but now there is no one else, just call me sister according to my seniority." ”

"Okay, this chicken soup is fresh. Do you taste it? Meng Zhaoyi took her hand and followed her to the table.

"The soup my sister makes is naturally good." Ruoyan laughed.

"Niangniang also said that the soup sent by His Majesty Niangniang was made in the small kitchen, and the soup sent by Niangniang was cooked by Zhaoyi herself staring at the fire." Mingcai laughed.

"My sister is so attentive, and my sister has thanked me." Ruoyan smiled, "When did my sister become Zhaoyi?" I don't even know, I haven't prepared a gift yet. ”

"It's just a matter of Fang Cai, Xiao Jue's funeral has just been completed, His Majesty originally said that he would posthumously crown Xiao Jue as the general of the second rank of Sinan, and repair the tomb with the gift of the king of the county. The concubine felt that her mother's family was a relative, and now that the power was enough, it was really not good to chase the seal. His Majesty thought that this was indeed the reason, but he also wanted to compensate for Xiao Jue's affairs, so the concubine was promoted. Meng Zhaoyi smiled wryly, "It's just that no matter how high the position is, it's just something outside the body, and it's not very useful to talk about it." The concubine has no wishes and ideals left in this life. I just want the family to be safe. ”

"That's what my sister said." Ruoyan took the chicken soup that Xueying had tried, tasted it, and laughed, "This soup is really fresh." ”

"It's good if my sister likes it." Meng Zhaoyi looked at her with a doting face, "If you like to drink, is it okay for the concubine to make it for her sister every day?" ”

"Sister Meng...... Do you know my sister? Ruoyan misses her sister a little, Meng Zhaoyi looks very much like her sister, and Sister was also so spoiled and used to her back then.

"Acquaintance." Meng Zhaoyi stroked the teacup and smiled bitterly, "Your sister is a very good person." ”

"Yes." Ruoyan lowered her head, "Sister is indeed a very good person...... It's just that Sister A'...... has already been "

"Okay, let's not talk about these sad things." Meng Zhaoyi interrupted her and said with a smile, "The deceased is gone, and my sister should also look forward." If your sister sees you so sad, she will also be sad. I was also uncomfortable when I went back to deal with Xiao Jue's funeral, and I couldn't wait to go with him. But my father told me that if Xiao Jue looked at his sister like this, he was afraid that he would not be able to rest under Jiuquan. Therefore, for the sake of the family members who died for their sister, my sister should also be well. ”

"It's easy to say, but it's been ten years, and I've never really let go." Ruoyan shook her head.

"Carefully, the chicken soup is cold." Meng Zhaoyi didn't know what to say and changed the subject.

Ruoyan scooped a spoonful of soup and tasted it carefully, the chicken soup was salty and delicious, with a hint of carrot sweetness and lotus root aroma, and there was soft glutinous chicken head rice in it, Codonopsis was nourishing, but it did not stew bitter, which was very rare. Ruoyan couldn't help but boast, "Sister Meng, the things added to this soup are exquisite, the taste is just fresh at first, and tasting it carefully adds a little aftertaste." Where did my sister learn the good craft? ”

"It's just that I'm idle and bored in the deep palace, and I have studied a little bit with the cook." Meng Zhaoyi scooped a piece of chicken and put it in Ruoyan's bowl, "You see that you are thin, you need to eat more." ”

"Gross." Ruoyan scooped a bite of chicken but suddenly retched.

Meng Zhaoyi hurriedly went up and patted her on the back: "What's the matter?" Mingcai, you go and ask the Imperial Doctor to come. ”

"It's not in the way," Ruoyan smiled and comforted Meng Zhaoyi, "Maybe it's a little greasy to bite the goosebump." ”

Ruoyan remembered that day when Li Feng said that the harem was going to add Ding, a cold sweat broke out behind his back. It's just once, how could it be so coincidental, she must have thought too much.

Sun Yuan's sentence will arrive soon, just kidding, this is the concubine Niangniang, and she can run faster than a rabbit to see a doctor for the concubine.

"Court Sun sentenced you to take a look, why is this disgusting?" Meng Zhaoyi said urgently.

"Zhaoyi Niangniang, don't panic."

Sun Yuan put the handkerchief on Ruoyan's snow-white and tender wrist and touched the pulse, frowned and touched it for a moment, then changed his other hand to check the pulse, and asked, "Niangniang has a menstrual affair this month?" ”

Ruoyan thought for a while and frowned: "It's strange to say, it's half a month later than last month." ”

Sun Yuan hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and an old face was excited: "Congratulations to Niangniang, congratulations to Niangniang!" The mother is happy! The minister will go to report to the emperor! The mother is happy! It's been almost a month! ”

"What did you say?" Ruoyan's face turned pale, "You say it again?" ”

"Mother is happy!" Sun Yuanju raised his head and congratulated again, the smile on his face could reach the back of his ears. This is the first child in the palace, and it is the child of the concubine. Now there is no queen, and with Luo Hansheng's power and Li Yizhe's favor, it is only a matter of time for Ruoyan to be named queen. This child will occupy the eldest son at that time, if it is a princess, of course it is good, and it will be loved by the whole palace, and it will be the eldest princess. If it's a prince, it's amazing! That's the future prince!

"There is a sentence from the Laosun Court. Let's go down. Ruoyan smiled reluctantly.

After the Sun Court handed down the sentence, Meng Zhaoyi held Ruoyan's hand and asked with concern: "Sister, you tell the truth to the concubine, don't you want this child?" ”

"Why did my sister say that?" Ruoyan didn't answer her, but still kept an eye on it.

"The concubine knows that my sister doesn't love the emperor much in her heart, and this child's sister doesn't want to give birth to it, right?" Meng Zhaoyi sighed, "What about concubines?" Tell your sister a heart-to-heart word, and the concubine also has someone else in her heart. ”

"What does my sister think I should do?" Ruoyan smiled bitterly.

"My sister might as well give birth to the child, no matter what happens to the child, this child will be the eldest son at that time, although the younger sister has the support of the Xiangye, but the Xiangye has no heirs, and the family is a single lineage, and there is no need to worry about the power of relatives like other concubines. When you grow up, it is a matter of eighty percent to be crowned a prince. Isn't my sister giving birth to the future emperor also to explain to the deceased family? At that time, there will be a surname Yun in the world. You say, don't you? No matter how bad it is, even if it is a princess, it is also the eldest princess, if you look at the current emperor of Nanchu, isn't it also the eldest princess Yunhua who succeeds to the throne? Meng Zhaoyi persuaded her.

"But......" Ruoyan hesitated.

"Since you are pregnant with him, you know that you are destined for him. My sister is not ruthless, how can she be willing to beat this child? It's the meat in your belly! Meng Zhaoyi knew what she was thinking, but how innocent was this child?

Li Yizhe was overjoyed after receiving the news, and he knew it. He excitedly asked Gonggong Lin to instruct the Internal Affairs Office to collect all the best things in his private treasury and send them to Ruoyan. Gonggong Lin was also very happy, he was so old, and finally waited for the day when the emperor had an heir, maybe he could still get the emperor's favor to hug the little prince!

Li Yizhe didn't care about waiting for the sedan chair to come over, anyway, the imperial study was not far from the Jiaofang Palace, so he lifted his robe and rushed out, running all the way to the Jiaofang Palace. Gonggong Lin was out of breath after him, but he was not much slower than Li Yizhe when he was old, he was out of breath when he ran, but he was happy, people were in good spirits at happy events, and his legs and feet were much sharper than before.

Li Yizhe rushed into the Jiaofang Palace and shouted: "Ah Yan, Ah Yan!" ”

Meng Zhaoyi was here, Ruoyan couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and ignored him.

Li Yizhe realized that Meng Zhaoyi was in Ruoyan Palace, nodded to Meng Zhaoyi, and then knelt straight to Ruoyan, held Ruoyan's hand, and said happily: "I heard that Sun Yuan said that you are happy, right?" ”

"It's only a month, maybe the Sun court is wrong?" If you smile.

"How could the ability of the Sun court be wrong? Didn't Li Feng also say stargazing before? Li Yizhe was very happy, "Such a big happy event should be announced to the world." You sent medicine to the front line to save the lives of countless soldiers, and some of the ministers of the previous dynasty said that you were my Zhou Tang Fuxing, and now that you are pregnant, the other ministers can also shut up. ”

"It's just that I have a child, the child is blessed, so I am afraid that I will lose the child's blessing and get sick in the future." Ruoyan shook her head.

"It's also ......," Li Yizhe pondered for a moment, "I also remember that my mother said that there was such a thing back then. ”

"That's it, the concubine and orphan daughter entered the palace, and she was already criticized. Tell the world for a child, I'm afraid that those ministers don't think that the concubines did anything before, they just think that the concubines are the demon girls who have brought disaster to the country. If Yan has her own considerations in her heart, if she really knows it now, then she will have to give birth to this child, and it will be difficult to think about any changes.

"When you have a child, don't think about it so much. Li Yizhe coaxed her. ”

"Your Majesty." Meng Zhaoyi called him, "The concubine is now pregnant for the first time, and the concubine and the other sisters in the harem have never given birth." Your Majesty might as well find a proper grandmother for your mother. It's better to take care of it. ”

"Is there a suitable candidate for Zhaoyi?" Li Yizhe frowned.

"The concubine doesn't think it's on the side, this grandmother must be very proper. The concubine Fang Cai originally wanted to choose a good one from her own palace and send it over, but she also thought that there were always some restless people in the harem, and I was afraid that there would be no one who wanted to harm the concubine. When the time comes, it will be the concubine's guilt to start from the concubine. The concubine really thought of such a person, and nothing would go wrong. ”

"Oh? Who is it? Li Yizhe looked at Meng Zhaoyi.

"There was a Du Mama who was brought into the palace by Niangniang's sister back then, who was the nursing mother of Niangniang's sister, and she and her sister were hurt in the eyes, because of the things of the year, Mama Du cried so much that her eyes were not very good. Mama has been in the court, and the concubines also feel distressed. It's better to let Mama serve the mother, how can Mama not be deciless? Although the eyes are not very good, aren't there still two girls, Xue Ying and Ling Yin? Mama also served her mother in the past, and her mother must be happy. Isn't that thoughtful? The concubine felt that there was no suitable candidate in the palace. Meng Zhaoyi said.

Ruoyan didn't expect Mama Du to be alive, and she was even more happy, and looked at Li Yizhe and clenched her sleeves.
