Since Ling Xiao got married, Yan Qingge still saw her for the first time, and the two talked hand in hand, and before they knew it, it was time for lunch.

At noon today, Yan Qingge wants to help the queen entertain guests, the specifications of the luncheon are naturally not comparable to usual, and there is no need for her palace maid here to pick up the meal, and the imperial dining room will personally send it.

Seeing that the time for dinner was approaching, Shui Ying had not yet arrived, Yan Qingge and Ling Xiao were in a hurry, Yan Qingge asked Xiang Xiafen: "Auntie, you can't call someone to take a look, why hasn't Concubine Shui come yet." ”

Xia Fan is also strange, she has already told Shui Ying all the arrangements, according to common sense, Shui Ying should have arrived a long time ago, and she was delayed for so long today, I don't know why.

Concubine Shui asked someone to go out to inquire, and after a while, she saw Shui Ying coming in a hurry with a palace maid, and her eyes swirled on Shui Ying, as if asking why Shui Ying was late. Shui Ying's face turned red, and she said to Xia Fan: "Auntie, I'll talk to you later." ”

Xia Fan showed a knowing expression and took her into the house.

Entering the door, Shui Ying said to Yan Qingge and Ling Xiao: "I'm late, I'll confess to the two sisters." ”

Ling Xiao laughed at her: "I know that you are the laziest one, why are you so disciplined today." ”

In the past, when she was in Bailu Academy, Shui Ying liked to be quiet and not move, and her favorite thing every day was to sleep lazy and eat snacks.

Shui Ying smiled at Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao took Shui Ying's hand and sighed, "Why are you so thin." ”

In this deep palace, it is very easy to eat fat, there are three fixed meals here, extra snacks are served, and there is no work to do, and people are idle all day long. Many concubines who have fallen out of favor will not have the opportunity to sleep again, and within half a year, their figures will be seriously out of shape.

Looking at the thin arm and the face of the slender melon seed, Ling Xiao couldn't imagine that the thin woman with big eyes in front of her was the one she knew.

Shui Ying smiled gracefully, slapped away Ling Xiao's hand that was squeezing her body, and said, "Are you a monkey from the mountains, such a hairy person, and you don't know how to be stable when you get married, how did my brother subdue you." ”

Ling Xiao smiled proudly, pulled Yan Qingge and said: "I'm a monkey, isn't that Shui Mu a big male monkey, this water side concubine with a sharp mouth monkey's cheeks is not a little female monkey." Qingge, you are here to judge, am I right? ”

The three of them laughed and were talking happily, when a group of eunuchs rushed in, each carrying a food box in their hands, kowtowing to Yan Qingge, Ling Xiao, and Shui Ying, and began to set the meal.

In order to help the queen entertain guests, most of the furniture and decorations in the living room of Yan Qingge's house were emptied today, and a long rosewood table and matching chairs were placed in the middle.

The table was extremely long, and it was placed in Yan Qingge's room, as if it wanted to poke a hole out of this small room.

The meal was just served, and Tao Xi and Biling at the door scrambled to drill into the house.

Taoxi is better, but the pace is faster, and Biling is much more anxious, but she doesn't squeeze Taoxi away.

Seeing these two people, Yan Qingge's face sank.

There was Xia Fan watching, Yan Qingge was talking with Ling Xiao and Shui Ying in the house in the morning, the two of them didn't come into the house, but they drilled into the house at this time, I don't know what it means.

Xia Fan stopped for a moment and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

Tao Xi said respectfully: "Aunt Xiafen, there are guests here today, the cloth dishes on the table are poured and the wine is poured, Ruyi is alone, and he will definitely not be busy." Biling and I came together to serve a few noble masters. ”

Ruyi stared at Taoxi with wide eyes, Taoxi wanted to enter the door, why bother pulling her as a raft.

Yan Qingge looked at Bi Ling, who couldn't hide her eagerness, and Taoxi, who was full of calmness, and said: "This room is small enough, the three of us sisters have fun together, and it is difficult to even turn around when two more people squeeze in." ”

She said it politely, and it was. The long table brought from the queen's treasury was indeed packed to the brim, and this table should have been used for banquets in the past.

After Xia Fan drove out Bi Ling and Taoxi, who were full of unwillingness, Ling Xiao frowned and said, "Who sent these two?" Why are you so unruly. ”

"One is the one who used to serve at the queen's mother's place, and the other is that you ask her." Yan Qingge picked his chin at Shui Ying.

Ling Xiao looked at Shui Ying suspiciously, and Shui Ying said, "That, it's the concubine of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"What? The prince sent his concubine to serve you? Ling Xiao exclaimed and looked at Yan Qingge in disbelief.

Yan Qingge smiled bitterly: "Yes." You now know what kind of life I spent in the palace. ”

Ling Xiao nodded sympathetically: "I'm afraid you don't even dare to say anything in your dreams now." ”

Shui Ying quipped: "Don't say it's a dream, I'm afraid that if she sleeps and grinds her teeth a few times, someone will carry it in her heart." ”

While speaking, Shui Ying used ivory chopsticks to pick up a piece of red and bright rabbit meat soaked in millet pepper and chili oil, and elegantly put it into her mouth.

At this moment, a cough was heard.

Xia Fan, who had been working as a stake at the door, coughed and said again: "Please refrain from eating the concubine on the water side." ”

Shui Ying's hands trembled, and she almost didn't drop the rabbit meat in her hand on the table.

Yan Qingge and Ling Xiao looked at Shui Ying in confusion, Shui Ying's face flew two clouds of red, and put the rabbit meat on the plate, not ready to eat it. Yan Qingge and Ling Xiao looked strange and asked Shui Ying what was going on, but she didn't say anything.

Yan Qingge wondered why Shui Ying was like this, and then peeked at Shui Ying, but found that Shui Ying only picked up plain and light food, whether it was greasy or spicy and exciting, she didn't eat at all.

It's winter now, and green vegetables are scarce, so the people in the imperial kitchen can only send the meat and fishy things in a different way.

Yan Qingge felt a little strange, and after the meal was removed, seeing that Ruyi was going to serve tea to everyone, Yan Qingge stopped him and asked Xiang Shuiying: "Are you feeling unwell?" My name is Ruyi's best green tea, but I'm afraid it's not good for your appetite. If you don't feel well, the tea will be changed for you. ”

Shui Ying said to her, her face turned red again, but she still said, "I'm fine." Aunt Xia Fan asked someone to send me a message and told me that these days were the time when I was prone to conceive. In the morning, the prince called me to serve, if so...... If you can win this time, I'm afraid it's not good to eat those things. ”

Pregnant women in Da Zhou are very particular, and rabbit meat and mutton cannot be eaten during pregnancy, so as not to give birth to defective children in the future. Of course, Yan Qingge, who has given birth to two children, understands these taboos.

But to Yan Qingge's surprise, the prince actually came to Xing Shuiying in the morning, which was a proper daytime prostitution. No wonder Shui Ying came so late in the morning, and her face was still red.

Ling Xiao was also shocked, and said, "The prince looks so old-fashioned, he actually ......"

She stopped before she finished speaking, because she was afraid of Shui Ying, afraid that her face would be ugly. Since the prince summoned Shui Ying to sleep in broad daylight, it is very likely that he spoiled Shui Ying very much, and she said bad things about the prince, afraid that Shui Ying would feel uncomfortable.

Shui Ying felt Ling Xiao's mood, shook her head at Ling Xiao, and said with a wry smile: "Ling Xiao, this is the first time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has done this kind of thing." I was his side concubine, and he didn't have the slightest respect for me. If it weren't for the thought of the child who might come, I wouldn't have allowed him to be so ridiculous, even if I didn't respect it. ”

Ling Xiao and Shui Mu were outside the palace, and they were inseparable, the husband and wife closed the door and did everything, but they didn't expect so much for a while.

After being reminded by Shui Ying, she suddenly understood that this was the palace. If the prince really loves Chong Shuiying, he will definitely not drag Shuiying to do this early in the morning. In doing so, he not only made enemies for Shui Ying, but also smeared Shui Ying's reputation.

Ling Xiao held Shui Ying's hand sympathetically and said, "Shui Ying, I've hurt you." ”

Although Yan Qingge also had a lot of words to persuade Shui Ying, as an unmarried yellow flower girl, it was not appropriate to say anything, so she could only hold Shui Ying's hand with Ling Xiao.

Shui Ying laughed and said, "What are you doing here." I might be pregnant, so you should be happy for me. As she spoke, she put Ling Xiao and Yan Qing on her flat lower abdomen, and said, "In another ten months, maybe a baby will come out." When the time comes, you must come to the palace to see me, and you will come whatever you want. ”

Yan Qingge looked at Shui Ying and laughed, in this cold place, maybe a child is the only warmth that a woman can experience in her life.

"Good! We'll come to see you. Yan Qingge and Ling Xiao smiled together and agreed.

Not long after eating, a report came from the front, saying that Shui Mu looked like he was about to leave the palace, and asked Ling Xiao to prepare to leave.

As soon as Ling Xiao left, Shui Ying couldn't stay longer, so he said goodbye.

In the afternoon, she not only talked more, but also personally selected a very soft red cotton cloth and made a belly pocket for children, and used embroidery thread to simply outline a fat doll holding an apple on a low table.

While embroidering, she smiled at Ruyi: "Ruyi, do you say that Shui Ying's belly is a boy or a girl?" ”

The date of conception in that ancient book is very accurate, and Shui Ying's body has been fine, as long as there is no problem with the prince, Shui Ying will definitely be able to conceive this time. The only thing that is still uncertain is whether Shui Ying's baby is male or female.

Ruyi said: "It must be a boy." Miss Shui has been blessed since she was a child, and she looks like a boy at first glance. ”

In the early years, Shui Ying was fat and dundun, which was indeed very blessed. Yan Qingge couldn't help laughing.

Preparing his belly pocket, Yan Qingge rubbed his neck and looked at the sky outside. It was nearly dusk, the sunset was golden and attractive, and she suddenly felt the urge to go out for a walk.

It just so happened that the queen hadn't come back yet, and Fengzao Palace had a rare sense of quiet and laziness, Yan Qingge smiled at Ruyi and said, "Let's go to the Imperial Garden for a walk." I heard that the plum blossoms there are about to open. ”

It's already the winter solstice, although it hasn't snowed, but Yan Qingge listened to the little palace maids chatting in the courtyard yesterday, and said that the imperial garden has been replaced with a lot of beautiful plums, red, white, beautiful, and fragrant.

It just so happened that Shui Ying and Ling Xiao had come today, which reminded her of the scene when the three sisters went to Merlin together at Bailu Academy. At this moment, she desperately wanted to see plum blossoms.
