Chapter 187: Guanyin

Xiao Lu stayed in her own house to settle down and had a baby, and only after three months did she officially send someone to send a message into the palace.

The queen gave a lot of things to Princess Nan'an's mansion with great fanfare.

Even Emperor Chu, who had been cold to Xiao Lu, finally relented after learning that Xiao Lu was pregnant, not only personally summoned the concubine and the imperial doctor to inquire about Xiao Lu's body and the fetus in her womb, but also sent a lot of things over, and specially allowed Concubine Chen to go out of the palace to visit.

When Concubine Chen knew that she could go out of the palace to visit her daughter, she sobbed and cried. Fortunately, the palace maids in Yuxiu Palace have been waiting for her for many years, and they have long been accustomed to her, and they still do what they do.

After Concubine Chen sat and cried for a while, she thought that it would be difficult for her to go out of the palace to visit her daughter, and it was not good to go empty-handed. Thinking of this, she hurriedly wiped a few times on her face with a handkerchief, and called someone to help her go to her private vault, ready to pick up something to bring to her daughter.

Soon, everyone in the palace knew that Xiao Lu was pregnant.

When the news reached Yihua Palace, Emperor Liu was playing against Concubine De. When Suihong got the news and came in, the two of them were coming to a critical juncture.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Suihong standing aside but not speaking, Concubine De put the sunspot in her hand on the chessboard and took the initiative to ask. "Is there something new in the palace?"

Concubine Liu looked at it intently, and she couldn't save the defeat on the chessboard, so she simply threw the white child twisted by her fingertips into the chess box.

"It was Princess Nan'an who sent someone into the palace today to spread the word, saying that she was three months pregnant."

"It's a happy event." Concubine Liu Huang smiled and said. "Your Majesty's grandchildren have a lot of children, but my grandson is still the first one."

"yes." Speaking of this, Concubine De's eyes darkened, the seventh prince under her knees died young, and Concubine De was never pregnant again. "My Seventh Prince is only one year younger than Xuan'er, if he is still here, I should choose a concubine for him at this time."

"Don't be sad, the untimely death of the Seventh Prince is a natural disaster." Concubine Liu Huang patted her hand and comforted her. "My grandchildren are also your grandchildren, and I will let them enter the palace more next time if you like them."

However, Xiao Xuan also got the news that Xiao Lu was pregnant.

"Dan Tangerine, go and put the jade Guanyin in my private vault with a suitable box, and you can go to Princess Nan'an's Mansion for me."

Xiao Xuan thought that when she learned the news that Xiao Lu was pregnant, it was not good to pretend to be deaf and dumb and pretend that she didn't know about it, and she couldn't say anything when she knew these things.

Xiao Lu is pregnant, and it is not good to send food, supplements, and clothing, although the relationship between herself and Xiao Lu has eased somewhat, but Xiao Xuan can't consider these things that are easy to be manipulated and put on the handle.

A bottle of mutton fat white jade carved to send the child Guanyin, the intention is good, and you can put it anywhere, it is the best choice.

"But princess, the bottle of Guanyin was specially selected by the imperial concubine to be used as a dowry for you." Tachibana asked. "Do you really want to give it to Princess Nan'an?"

"I don't know when my marriage will be finalized, and sending Guanyin to my son is not of much use for the time being, but it is very good to use it as a congratulatory gift." Xiao Xuan said disappreciatively. "Anyway, I don't have this thing in my private vault, you can quickly find it and send it for me."

Seeing that Xiao Xuan was determined to do so, Dan Tang could only obediently obey and took someone to the private treasury.

In Princess Nan'an's mansion, I don't know how many people sent congratulatory gifts on this day.

Xiao Lu has become more and more sleepy recently, so she leaned on the soft couch and closed her eyes to recuperate, while listening to the parrot and the mandarin duck inventory of the congratulatory gifts received recently.

But after a while, Brother Parrot came forward and bent down and whispered to Xiao Lu.

"Princess, Princess Zhaoyue in the palace sent the Dan Tangerine beside her out of the palace, saying that Princess Zhaoyue prepared a bottle of Guanyin to give to the princess."

"Oh, really?" Xiao Lu listened to Brother Parrot's words, slowly opened her eyes, sat up and said. "Bring people in."

Brother Parrot straightened up and glanced at the mandarin duck behind him, and asked the mandarin duck to bring in the orange who was waiting to be summoned outside the main courtyard.

"Slave Dan Tangerine to Princess Nan'an to say goodbye." Dan Tang held a brocade box in his arms, stopped a few steps in front of Xiao Lu, and saluted. "Our princess is very happy to know that Her Royal Highness is pregnant, and she specially ordered the slave maid to send a bottle of Guanyin, hoping to bless Her Highness with a safe child."

Dan Tang said, while carefully handing over the huge brocade box in his hand to Brother Parrot, Brother Parrot took it, and Mandarin Duck stepped forward to open the brocade box.

In the brocade box lies a piece of mutton fat white jade carved out of the son Guanyin, Guanyin treasure is loving, holding a jade bottle in one hand, and a white and cute baby in the other.

"Thank you sister for me." Xiao Lu took a closer look, and said with a satisfied smile after a moment. "My sister is intimate, and she sent such a good thing with such a good intention. I must be in the house and watch it every day. ”

As soon as Xiao Lu's words fell, the mandarin duck took a red seal and stuffed it into Dantang's hand.

"The slave and maid have thanked His Highness for the reward." Dan Tang calmly accepted it.

Wait for the tachibana to leave.

"Princess, do you want to put this Guanyin slave into the warehouse?" The mandarin duck wanted to re-close the lid on the brocade box, and Brother Parrot asked.

"There's no need to put it away, something so good should be placed in the house, just let the doctor take a look." Xu was pregnant because she was pregnant, but Xiao Lu's eyebrows softened more and more. "My sister is not a stupid person, what good can she do to harm my child, besides, she sent a bottle of Guanyin, but she did not choose food and supplements that can be eaten, and clothes and fabrics that can get close to my body, it is already deliberately avoiding suspicion. And if I didn't put out Guanyin, who received her gift, I would have told the truth at that time, saying that I had a small belly and chicken intestines. ”

"It's the slave who thinks badly." Brother Parrot listened, admitted his mistake and said. "The slave maid will ask the doctor to come over and take a look, if there is no problem, it will be directly in the house."

"Well, let's go down."

Xiao Lu has been in the palace for so many years, and she was originally only entangled in the differences between Emperor Chu's treatment of her and Xiao Xuan. She was full of resentment, as long as she lived in the palace for a day, that hidden emotion never dissipated.

But really when she got married and left the palace and lived in the palace of Princess Nan'an, where everything was in charge of her alone, she slowly let go.

After becoming pregnant, I thought about everything I had been with Xiao Xuan over the years.

Thinking about the beginning, Xiao Xuan still liked to stick to her, and when Xiao Xuan couldn't speak, she would babble and scream to play with her every time she saw her.

In her heart, she always thought that Emperor Chu would hold Xiao Xuan more than when he held her, and the child would inevitably get angry in her heart, and she relied on Xiao Xuan to not even speak at that time, and often took advantage of the nurses and palace maids who served the two of them not to pay attention.

The relationship between the two became more tense, Xiao Xuan would not take the initiative to provoke, and when Xiao Lu took the initiative to provoke, he would inevitably fight back. Nine times out of ten, things either went to the queen's side or to the emperor of Chu, Xiao Xuan cried so much, naturally Xiao Lu was at a disadvantage, and he would be punished by the queen if he was the emperor of Chu.

In fact, now that I think about it, Xiao Lu feels that she has really grown twenty years old before.

His mother, Concubine Chen, has no favor, but she is dependent on the queen to survive. I don't have a brother-in-law from a mother, and I fight with Xiao Xuan all the year round for some indifferent things, which is really naïve.

In the case that came out in Jiangnan before, Emperor Chu's tacit disposition and the will to divide the adult princes as kings, the four princes were all princes, but the adopted son of the queen was just a prince of the county.

At this time, Xiao Lu also had his own plans in his heart, seeing that King Jinjun was already lagging behind King Qin.

Xiao Lu knew that if she became the eldest princess in the future, it would be difficult for her to continue to be hot-headed to offend the new emperor's sister-in-law. And in all fairness, among the sons of Emperor Chu, only the emperor's eldest son, King Qin, is similar to him in his behavior and personality, and Xiao Lu hopes that it will be King Qin who will ascend to the throne in the future.

When she got married, Xiao Xuan took the initiative to marry regardless of her previous suspicions, breaking the inherent influence of years of discord between their sisters in the imperial capital.

Xiao Lu can't turn around anymore, and she should come to her senses.

In addition, this time she was pregnant, Xiao Xuan took the initiative to give gifts to the door again, and also intimately avoided all the things that were inappropriate and easy to be manipulated, and gave a bottle of exquisite carving and excellent intention to send the son Guanyin, which he naturally had to put in a conspicuous place in the room, and if he saw someone in the future, he would have to introduce it to others.

On this day, Princess Nan'an's mansion was very lively, but there was silence in the courtyard of the prince of Zhenguo.

The prince of Zhenguo didn't know where to go to have fun in the morning, and Mrs. Zhenguo Gongzi let her henchmen tighten the whole yard.

"Wronged!" Several sturdy servants knelt in front of Mrs. Zhenguo Gongshizi with a bewitching face and a slightly bulging lower abdomen, and Mrs. Zhenguo Gongshizi was so angry that she couldn't breathe, but fortunately, the eldest daughter-in-law served on the side, and she was relieved again and again. "Wronged!"

"Mother, be careful of getting angry." The eldest daughter-in-law looked at the appearance of Mrs. Zhenguo Gongzi who was almost angry, and hurriedly whispered comfort.

She also didn't expect that the little uncle who only read the books of sages in the past would make a mistake after marrying Princess Nan'an, and almost went to Princess Nan'an's mansion when she was pregnant.

It's good that today Mrs. Zhenguo Gongzi was about to visit Princess Nan'an, and saw a bewitching woman who had been wandering for a long time outside the princess's mansion.

Mrs. Zhenguo Gongshi immediately made a decision, and asked a few sturdy servants who followed the car to take advantage of the lack of people on the street to escort the woman into her carriage.
