Chapter 43: Good Words
When walking on the way back, Hu Shi didn't say a word, Xiang Dong knew that she had been angry recently, and she didn't dare to ask out loud, so she only took five or six palace maids to follow Hu Shi silently.
Suddenly, Hu Shi, who was walking in front, stopped and was silent.
"Second princess?" Xiangdong could only bite the bullet and ask.
"Xiangdong will return to the palace later, you personally go to the Tai Hospital and ask the Tai Doctor to diagnose my pulse." Hu Shi's mood had recovered most of her at this time, and she raised her head again, smiling and instructing Xiangdong.
In the end, they are all daughters carefully raised by the family, and the fact that the Hu family did not move those crooked thoughts before does not mean that she really does not understand these at all.
"The second princess is unwell?" Xiangdong heard that Hu asked her to ask for a doctor, and saw that Hu had indeed lost a lot of weight over the past few days, and was worried that something was really wrong with her body, so he hurriedly asked. "Do you want the slave maid to send someone out of the palace and let the Duchess come into the palace to see you."
"I'm fine, it's just a cover for you to ask the Imperial Doctor to come." Hu Shi looked at the several palace maids who followed behind Xiangdong, all of whom were her own henchmen, and she was relieved to tell her future arrangements. "After I went back today, you said to the outside world that I accidentally caught a cold when I was relaxing in the imperial garden today, and it was inconvenient for me to be bedridden. If the Liao family sends someone to ask for something, you don't have to reply to me, just give her whatever she wants. ”
Xiangdong listened to Hu Shi's words, and looked at Hu Shi in surprise, unable to believe that these words came from Hu Shi's mouth.
Xiangdong was originally the son of the Liguo Mansion, and she has been serving in the Liguo Mansion for generations, and her parents are also somewhat decent in the mansion. She has been serving by Hu's side since she was a child, and she is the most intimate person around Hu's, so she naturally knows Hu's temperament.
"Are you so angry?" Xiangdong asked. "The Liao family was already pregnant, you are sick at this time, in case the Liao family really gives birth to a little emperor grandson in the future, won't it be even more pressed on your head."
"I am the main family, as long as I don't make mistakes, no matter how many imperial grandsons she gives birth to, she can only succumb to me." Hu Shi had completely calmed down at this time, but was able to think calmly. "Liao is pregnant, how many people are staring at me, for fear that I will harm Liao's fetus."
"You mean you want to avoid the Liao clan by taking advantage of your illness?"
"Yes, whether she can give birth to this baby or not, whether she has a boy or a girl, I will never touch it this time." Hu is also taking precautions. "Remember, let her send someone to fetch what she wants, and keep a record of it. From beginning to end, let her people handle the things, and no one in my temple should touch those things, you know? ”
"Yes, Second Princess."
It has been a month since Hu said that he was ill, and Liao had visited her several times, but was stopped by Xiangdong beside Hu.
"Concubine Niangniang, our Niangniang is still sick." Xiangdong took three palace maids to block the door, and the Liao family didn't dare to break in with his stomach. "Our mother is worried about the pregnancy in the side concubine's womb, for fear that the palace will be sick and angry to the side concubine, lest she hurt the royal heir in the side concubine's womb. The side concubine is very important, don't worry about our mother's body, we slaves will take care of our mother's mother. ”
"My sister has been sick for almost a month, and I'm really worried." With a strong worry in his eyes, Liao said to Xiangdong very earnestly. "I just look at it, and it gives me peace of mind."
"Concubine Niangniang, my mother has been in bed for a month, and the air in the hall is so polluted that I am afraid that it will hurt the noble body of Niangniang and His Royal Highness in the womb." Xiangdong received Hu's order, kept a smile and confronted Liao, oil and salt did not enter, let Liao say something, she just led people to stop Liao firmly. "It's useless to spend time with the side concubine, you might as well go back and have a good rest."
When Liao heard this, what else could he say.
Originally, Hu Shi knew the news that she was pregnant, and she had a seizure in her own temple for a long time that night. I kept looking for supplements and fabrics because I was pregnant, which just annoyed her.
Seeing that the Hu family was in a hurry, suddenly the Hu family said that he was sick and couldn't see anyone, and the Hu family had the right to take care of the affairs of her as a side concubine, but gave it to the nurse of the second highness, Mama Lin.
She took advantage of the Second Highness to come to see her, and tactfully mentioned to the Second Highness that she wanted to take the right to take care of things from Mama Lin. His Royal Highness only said that she should take good care of the fetus, and let her not touch her hands.
Hu Shi said to the outside world that he was suffering from a wind cold, but what kind of wind cold can be sick for a month is not good and he can't see people, I heard that during this time, even the Second Highness can't see Hu's face.
Hu Shi clearly wanted to avoid himself, for fear that something would happen to him and push it on her.
Liao's grinding for a long time, Xiangdong only smiled but didn't let go, Liao's physical strength was not good after pregnancy, so he could only return with a feather.
"Concubine Fang, you go slowly." Nian Qiao, the palace maid who had to be used by Liao's side, carefully helped Liao on the way back.
"Didn't our people hear anything?" Liao asked Nian Qiao in a low voice.
She wondered why Hu suddenly said he was sick after going to the Imperial Garden that day.
"Back to the side concubine's words, the slave and maid inquired clearly. Someone saw that day when the second princess met the second princess in the imperial garden and took King Yujun to relax, and the second princess and the second princess talked for a long time. But there are many people around the second princess, and our people don't dare to get close to listen to them. In the month since the second princess said she was sick, she was indeed boiling medicine every day in her palace, and it can be confirmed that the second princess has to take medicine every day. ”
"Little wind and cold, she hasn't even been able to drink medicine for a month?" Liao walked slowly and asked with an eyebrow. "The medicine residue in her temple will try to get some and find someone to see what kind of medicine it is."
"Mother, I've let our people try, but I haven't been able to do it a few times." Nian Qiao said. "Every time she boiled medicine, Xiangdong by the side of the second prince passed by hand by hand, never pretending to others, and even the medicine residue was burned to ashes by herself."
"It's all a bunch of garbage, what do I want them to do." Liao's chest kept rising and falling in anger. "It's not going to be of any use."
"Concubine Fang, you must take care of yourself, this matter was originally just a double plan." Nian Qiao hurriedly appeased Liao. "The imperial doctor said that the side concubine's body is still healthy, as long as the mother pays attention to the body, she will be able to give birth to a sturdy little emperor grandson for His Royal Highness."
Xiang Dong watched the Liao family walk away, and then ordered his palace maids to continue to guard the door, and pushed open the door and walked into the hall.
The so-called Hu Shi, who couldn't say that he was sick, sat half-leaning on the head of the bed with a ruddy face, and was playing with a pair of tiger head shoes with delicate embroidery and small embroidery.
"People are gone?" Hu Shi heard that Liao's voice was no longer outside the hall, looked up and saw Xiangdong walking in, and asked with a smile.
"Yes." Xiangdong walked to Hu's bed and stopped. "Concubine Fang seems to be suspicious, and she has been here for two days in a row and asked to see you."
"Just keep holding back." Hu Shi took a beautiful box, put the pair of tiger head shoes in it, and handed it to Xiangdong. "After I recover from my illness, you will personally come to the door to give these shoes to the second princess for me, and let her transfer them to King Yujun for me. Wrap the pair of mutton fat jade bracelets in my dowry, and thank the second princess for her good words. ”
"Yes, the slave has written it down." Xiangdong looked at Hu's slightly bulging lower abdomen under his shirt and said with a smile. "I didn't expect the words of the second princess to be so effective, and the second princess was really pregnant."
It turned out that after returning from the Imperial Garden that day, Xiangdong took someone to the Tai Hospital for the first time to invite the Tai Doctor to diagnose Hu's pulse, and she had already stuffed a silver ticket for the Tai Doctor in private, as long as the Tai Doctor said that Hu occasionally felt cold and needed to recuperate.
Unexpectedly, after the imperial doctor came, he actually took the happy pulse for the Hu family, and suddenly everyone in the Hu family hall was extremely happy.
After Hu's short surprise, he still instructed the Tai Bao to keep the matter secret, and still said to the outside world that she was infected with a cold, and she was afraid that she would be sick and would give the pregnant side concubine Liao, so she also exempted Liao's greeting once every five days. Let the imperial doctor see the fetal medicine pretending to be a medicine for the treatment of wind and cold, and Xiangdong personally boiled the medicine for her to take every day, and even the medicine residue had to be burned clean without leaving any traces.
"yes." Hu Shi looked at his lower abdomen lovingly, raised his hand and stroked his lower abdomen and said. "In five days' time, I will go and tell my mother about it."
"If the queen mother knows that the second princess is pregnant, she will only be happier, after all, the main family is the right way."
I didn't expect Xiao Xuan, who was so good at his word, to still happily play with King Yujun in Yihua Palace, and from time to time to see the Wen family and his little nephew, as well as the dragon and phoenix fetus of the fourth prince and the daughter of the fifth prince, and he had to take the time to comfort Emperor Chu, who was busy with government affairs, and the town was very busy.
"You said that I raised my daughter as if she had raised her for nothing." Concubine Liu Huang hugged King Yujun and complained to Liu Shufu. "I haven't seen her in days."
"It's because the second princess is lively." Liu Shufu laughed. "The second princess has a good heart like this."
"What's so good about the outfield on the day of the town." Concubine Liu took the toy and handed it to King Yujun before saying. "I don't have a quiet and gentle look at my daughter's family at all, if she wasn't a princess, I would have to really worry about her future marriage."
"The imperial concubine is too worried, the second princess is His Majesty's favorite princess, and there will definitely be the best candidate for the horse in the future." Liu Shufu said.
"Hey, don't talk about her." Concubine Liu Huang said instead. "I heard that your family Yuanlan is pregnant again?"
"yes, she just sent a message in the country not long ago." Speaking of her daughter, grandsons, and daughters, Liu Shufu also said with a smile. "Her husband and mother-in-law are very happy, and they can't wait to hold her up like a treasure."
Han Yuanlan was very lucky, she gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses in the first year of marriage, and now she is pregnant again, and her husband's family is naturally happy.
"It's still thanks to the eldest princess of Yongshou who chose a good family for her, her father-in-law and mother-in-law are kind, and her husband cherishes her." Liu Shufu said. "She's doing well, and I can rest assured."
