Hearing Niu Hulu's explanation of the toxicity of the impatiens, the queen did not show surprise, but smiled faintly: "Is it, the impatiens can break blood and hurt the fetus?" Then you'll have to stay farther away. ”

Niu Hulu was busy and said: "Thank you for the queen's care, the concubine is pregnant, and she doesn't even dye her nails." Yongshou Palace also does not have impatiens. ”

The queen smiled and bowed: "That's good." ”

The queen smiled and worried: "This palace heard that Geng Guiren has been happy recently. ”

A hint of discoloration flashed in the eyes of the noble Niu Hulu, but then she smiled and said: "Sister Geng is a little happy, the concubine invited her to come to meet the queen mother, but Sister Geng declined politely." "——These words are obviously giving Geng Guiren eye medicine in front of the queen.

The queen pretended not to hear it, and smiled: "The first three months are the most prone to morning sickness, and it is strange that it is hard to have such a hot day." ”

Niu Hulu said: "Niangniang's words are serious, although Sister Geng is occasionally happy, her appetite is still excellent. The former asked the eunuch in the dining room to go to the Yongshou Palace to learn to make rose cakes. ”

There was a faint look in the queen's eyes, "It's a blessing to be able to eat." The craftsmanship of the small kitchen of Yongshou Palace is indeed a must. ”

Niu Hulu was secretly jealous in his heart: almost all the cooks in Yongshou Palace were rewarded by the emperor, and their cooking skills were not inferior to Jingren Palace.

At this time, the palace maid brought a plate of pomegranates with green skin and red flesh, and the ruddy pomegranate seeds were as crystal clear as rubies. The queen glanced at it and said, "The pomegranates paid tribute by the governor of Shandong this year are particularly sour, and the palace is a little unaccustomed to eating them, so the nobles of Niu Hulu may wish to try it." ”

"Thank you for the reward." Niu Hulu's face was full of joy, so he peeled a piece of pomegranate and ate it with relish.

The queen smiled slightly, "Since you are pregnant, you have become more and more sour." ”

Niu Hulu smiled modestly, "Recently, I have indeed become more and more acid-thirsty, and the pomegranates sent to the concubine are far less good than those here from Niangniang, but the concubine feels that her appetite is tight, and she eats them all in the morning." As she spoke, she lowered her head and peeled the pomegranate seeds, and ate them very sweetly.

The queen smiled and said, "This year, there are twice as many pomegranates sent here to the palace as in previous years, and the palace can't eat them all." As she spoke, the queen saw that her nails had been dyed, so she instructed Hui Xuan: "You go and load two baskets and send them to Qixiang Palace, Niu Hulu and Geng have a share." ”

"Yes, sissy."

The nobleman Niu Hulu hurriedly got up, curtsied, and said with a grateful face: "Thank you for the grace of the queen!" ”

Return to Qixiang Palace.

The palace maid Cui Xiang hurriedly closed the door of the east side hall, she looked at the big basket of pomegranates on the table, and showed a sad face, "Little master, those pomegranates sent by the Internal Affairs Office before, we finally finished eating......

Niu Hulu covered his sour cheeks with one hand and glared at Cuixiang: "If you have time to talk nonsense, you might as well help me eat a few more pomegranates!" ”

Cui Xiang said bitterly: "Little master, why bother, this year's pomegranate is so sour, if it hurts your teeth, how can it be good." ”

Niu Hulu's noble face suddenly became a little gloomy, "Although the queen mother treats me well, it's just that whenever there is a reward, Sister Geng is always indispensable." ”

Cui Xiang looked puzzled: "Geng Guiren is so close to Yongshou Palace, isn't the queen angry?" ”

Niu Hulu sneered: "It's just pretending not to be angry." She looked down at her belly that she had just conceived, "The queen mother is just worried that my baby may not be my brother, so she treats Geng Guiren with the same kindness!" ”

Cui Xiang hurriedly said: "The little master is the most blessed person, and this baby must be an elder brother!" ”

The nobleman was suddenly silent, and after a long time, she sighed, "I hope so." The emperor is now disgusted with her, and he is afraid that she will not have the chance to conceive another child.

In the west side of the temple opposite.

Geng Guiren looked at the red and pleasing pomegranate, although he liked it tightly, he couldn't help but show a look of unease.

Kwai Er smiled and said: "Little master, don't you like to eat pomegranates the most, this basket of pomegranates rewarded by the queen mother is big and fresh, why are you not happy?" ”

Geng Guiren sighed and said: "The better the queen mother treats me, the more I am not at ease. ”

Aoi Er blinked, still confused.

Geng Guiren said in a low voice: "The queen has no children, so she is bound to have to be raised." Niu Hulu is naturally the best choice, but before the day when the melon is ripe and falls, who knows if it is a brother or a princess. In case Niu Hulu gave birth to a princess......"

Geng Guiren stroked his lower abdomen and sighed faintly.

"I just hope she gives birth to an elder brother." Geng Guiren muttered.

Kui'er hurriedly said: "Look, the East Side Hall has been calling for some sour food recently, as the saying goes, sour and spicy girls, it seems that it should be a brother." ”

"I hope so......"

At this moment, Niu Hulu and Geng's hopes were the same.

Kui'er said in a low voice: "The slave just went to the tea warehouse to get a cup of tea, and on the way back, I saw the emperor's royal car parked outside the Yongshou Gate. Concubine Yao is really a blessing. Kwai Er's tone was a little sour.

Geng was silent.

Kwai Er suddenly had an idea, "Little master, why don't you just take the opportunity to go to Yongshou Palace, so that you can show your face in front of the emperor." ”

Geng Guiren immediately glared at Kui'er fiercely: "This kind of thing, you don't even think about it in the future!" She finally befriended Concubine Yao, how could she break her friendship in order to see the emperor a few more times? What's more, the emperor doesn't like scheming women!

Kui'er shrunk her neck and lowered her head: "The slave knows that he is wrong." ”

Geng Guiren's heart suddenly moved, when the emperor was in Yongshou Palace, she was certainly able to be cheeky. But if you might as well sit more on weekdays, you may be able to meet the emperor.

On the platform outside the main hall of Yongshou Palace and under the corridor, there are all kinds of flowers and trees with large pots and small pots, which has become a small garden. Yao Jiaxin simply put up tables and chairs under the porch outside the west window, and often sat here to enjoy tea and snacks in Su Rili.

It's just that there is a disadvantage, that is, it takes too much, and there is almost no place to stand.

Yin Zhen looked at this small garden, couldn't help but bow, and didn't enter the main hall, directly took Tian'er's little hand, stepped into the flowers, and sat on the rattan chair, he bowed slightly: "Tian'er is picking up here, it's quite interesting." I can't help but think of the flower beds of the Old Summer Palace. ”

Yao Jiaxin said with a smile: "Where can these pots of flowers and trees compare with the concubine in the garden?" Saying that, she couldn't help but yearn a little, "I don't know when the concubine will have the honor to go to the garden to escape the summer." ”

The corners of Yinzhen's mouth curled up a little, "The garden has been repaired almost completely, and I plan to go to the garden next year to avoid the noise and listen to the government." ”

Yao Jiaxin was overjoyed, and her eyes were shining and she looked at His Majesty the Fourth Master: "The emperor will bring a concubine, right?" ”

Looking at Tian'er's longing appearance, Yinzhen couldn't help but have a heart of teasing, here left and right flowers and trees Fusu, eunuchs and palace maids are waiting under the platform and in the open space outside the main hall, so it is a relatively private space. Yin Zhen picked up Yao Jiaxin's chin with a thin calloused index finger, and he whispered in a burning voice: "Then it depends on whether Tian'er is obedient tonight." ”

Yao Jiaxin's old face flushed, Your Majesty the Fourth Master, discussing night sports in the blue sky and day, are you purple or not?
