In the warm spring season, the cat raised the fetus all winter, and Liu Niang Leyun handed over the sign to the palace to say goodbye.

A few magnolia trees outside the hall are still full of flowers after a spring rain, white and fragrant, and even the hall is soaked with a faint fragrance of magnolia flowers, which is particularly pleasant.

Liuniang Leyun, who is pregnant, has really made a lot of fortune, no longer like the excessively slender appearance when she first married into Beizi Mansion, her face is chubby, ruddy, and there is a flying joy between her eyebrows.

"Master Pei is very strict, why didn't he ask his concubine to go out in the past few months." Liuniang Leyun's round and lovely face was shy and distressed, "If it weren't for the fourth sister who often went to visit and accompany her, the concubine's body would be suffocated." ”

Yao Jiaxin couldn't help but wonder, Siniang Leyi and Liuniang Leyun are sisters of the same mother, and Leyun has already lost her mother, and Siniang's sister is like her mother.

"The first few months are a bit more careful." After all, Le Yun had a miscarriage three years ago, but now she looks very good, and it can be seen that the fetus is very healthy.

Yao Jiaxin smiled again and said: "But now that the fetal image has been stabilized and your body is gradually getting heavier, you should take more walks, and only when you are about to give birth will you have the strength to give birth." ”

Le Yun hurriedly nodded and answered "yes", and said: "The day before yesterday, the fourth sister accompanied the concubine back to her mother's house for a small gathering, and the concubine also went to Dongfu to visit the old lady and the eldest sister-in-law. As she spoke, Le Yun sighed, looking a little pity.

Yao Jiaxin was stunned when she heard this, the "sister-in-law Zhuo" in Le Yun's mouth was naturally Shen, the wife of her eldest brother Yao Wenzhuo, she only knew that Shen's health had not been good after giving birth, so the housework in Dongfu should have been handed over to Wen Li's daughter-in-law Wanyan Jixiu to take care of.

Yao Jiaxin hurriedly asked, "Is Shen's body bad?" ”

Le Yun raised her eyes and looked at her, "Didn't the old lady tell you?" ”

The old lady Jiang Jiashi, as Yao Jiaxin's stepmother, although she does not enter the palace frequently, she always enters the palace two or three times a year, and her family letter has never been broken. But Shen is rarely mentioned either in person or in letters.

Le Yun was embarrassed, it seemed that he said something that he shouldn't have said......

Yao Jiaxin sighed, "Go back to the palace and send a doctor to take a look." ”

Le Yun nodded, it's better than nothing.

Knowing that pregnant women should not work, Yao Jiaxin did not stay for a long time, chattered a few words of homely things, rewarded some tonic and silk, and asked Liuniang to go back to Beizi Mansion.

In the end, she has a comfortable life without her mother-in-law, and Liuniang has gained weight.

Instead, it was her younger brother and sister Shen......

The condition of the Taiyi's return is really not optimistic, the Taiyi said that it was a postpartum loss, coupled with years of depression in the heart, so the root of the body has crossed most of it, so even the best decoction can only continue life, not cure the root cause.

Yao Jiaxin couldn't help but be in a trance when she knew the news.

Obviously such a young person, he is already terminally ill?

Depressed in the heart...... Yao Jiaxin really can't understand it, her two younger brothers are not flowery, although Wen Zhuo has concubines, but they are just decorations, even if the Shen family has been lingering on the sickbed all these years, no concubines and concubines have been born. The only thing that can make the Shen family depressed is nothing more than that the young son was taken up by his mother-in-law to raise, but the Shen family still has the eldest son and eldest daughter to do their filial piety under their knees, how can they be so depressed?

Yao Jiaxin thought about it, but I was afraid that it was related to the power of the housekeeper.

Wanyan Jixiu is in charge of the family as a little daughter-in-law, which is equivalent to taking away the rights of the Shen family, the clan woman - but Wanyan Jixiu has her ability to take care of the internal and external affairs in an orderly manner, which is far better than when the Shen family was in charge. In addition, Wanyan Jixiu's background is far better than that of the Shen family, and her birth and rearing are not inferior, and the eldest sister-in-law of the Shen family has been compared to each other, and she is even more depressed in her heart.

The Yao family is thriving because of her, and the Shen family, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Han military banner, is gradually disliked by the old lady Jiang Jia, which makes Shen's condition even worse. In addition, Wen Zhuo was busy with errands in the yamen and didn't have so much time to spend with his wife, and these accumulated together, which crushed the Shen family.

Shen's temperament is already weak, and he is most prone to depression after giving birth, and there is no psychiatrist in this era, so the result is to this point.

"Alas—" It was not easy to be a woman in ancient times.

Within a few months, Yao Jiaxin's mother family came with the news of the funeral, the eldest daughter-in-law Shen was gone, leaving three children, the eldest Jing Xun was only fifteen years old, the youngest Jing Cheng was the same age as Hong Xiaoxu and Hong Xiaoxiao, and the Dan sister in the middle was only eleven.

However, Wen Zhuo did his best, and before the Shen family was gone, he set a marriage for his eldest son - his fiancée was the daughter of Bei Zi Minghai's uncle, Feng En, the prince of Fuguo, and Jin Ning Gege, a township monarch.

This is still a matchmaker made by Bei Zi Minghai.

After three years of filial piety, they will get married immediately.

Right now, it's a hot summer, and the tenth elder brother Hong is afraid of heat when he is young, and he has a prickly heat, and His Majesty the Fourth Master has often visited recently.

Wangxian Pavilion is now home to the Hai family, and there are no other concubines. Wangxian Pavilion is adjacent to Fuhai, which is the coolest and most pleasant, and with the sufficient ice given by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the tenth elder brother will not have prickly heat.

Yin Zhen frowned, looking at the small basin of ice, which was about to melt away, and his face couldn't help but be even more ugly, "Is it the internal affairs government that deducted the ice case?" ”

Concubine Cui hurriedly said: "The imperial concubine is in charge of the six palaces, how dare the Internal Affairs Office treat the tenth elder brother slowly?" It's just that Brother Ten has been a little cold in his stomach recently, and the doctor told him not to be cold, so the concubine didn't dare to use more ice for him, so he got prickly heat. As she spoke, the concubine's eyes turned red, and her face was full of distress.

Yin Zhen's expression softened a little, "Then let the nanny and eunuch take turns fanning the fan day and night, and if there are not enough people to serve, ask the Internal Affairs Office to add more." ”

Concubine Cui said softly: "There is no shortage of people around Hongdu, even if there is a shortage for a while, just move a few from the concubine, and there is no need to trouble the Internal Affairs Office." "- If someone takes advantage of the opportunity, the gain will outweigh the loss.

Yin Zhen said lightly, "If there is anything missing in the future, just truthfully understand the imperial concubine." ”

The concubine meekly replied "yes", "In fact, children will have some prickly heat in the summer, and the concubine is also anxious for a while, so she asked someone to go to the emperor, in fact, the imperial doctor said that it is not in the way." ”

Yin Zhen looked at the sleeping baby on the jade, and her eyebrows softened a lot, "You are a new mother, and there is chaos when you care." ”

Concubine Cui said again: "It's hot, the emperor drinks mulberry tea to cool off." ”

This mulberry chrysanthemum tea is a common drink in the palace in summer, made of mulberry leaves, chrysanthemums, and licorice, and can be drunk by removing the slag and cooling. But Yinzhen drank it in one gulp, but felt that it was too sweet, the licorice in this mulberry tea was originally sweet, so Yinzhen never added sugar, but the mulberry tea here seemed to add a lot of rock sugar.

Yin Zhen frowned, but he was really a little thirsty in his mouth, so he drank half of Tai before putting it down.

Putting down the teacup, Yinzhen suddenly noticed that the palace maid serving tea was a little too beautiful.
