The weather is as cold as a day, and Queen Zhou's belly is getting bigger day by day, and even walking around is much more clumsy and inconvenient.

There is also a pregnant Zhao Guiren in the harem, she simply told the harem to avoid the concubines from going to Kunning Palace to ask for peace, and said that if everyone is free to copy some scriptures, prepare for the New Year's sacrifice.

There are still a few months before the Chinese New Year, and copying the scriptures is naturally not in a hurry, but the concubines are idle and idle, and it is good to pass the time with some things.

Concubine Li is a talented woman who is proficient in poetry and books, and it is naturally not difficult for her to copy the scriptures, and Chuxiu Palace is also copying the scriptures, and even Zhao Guiren, who is pregnant, also copies a page and a half from time to time.

The palace maid persuaded her, "The master is pregnant, and the queen mother said that you don't have to copy the scriptures, so why bother to come?" ”

Zhao Guiren's handwriting is not good-looking, but fortunately, she writes slowly, and her strokes are quite clear.

She often writes two words and has to look at the scriptures next to her, so that she knows how to write next, and smiles while reading: "I'm not tired, the weather is so cold, how boring is it to stay in the temple all day?" On the contrary, copying scriptures can relieve boredom. ”

The palace maid also knew what this meant, so she didn't dissuade her anymore, but said: "The master is copying slowly, let's eat snacks when we are tired of copying, anyway, it's not in a hurry." ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Guiren replied lightly and continued to copy.

Since she became pregnant, her temperament has been much calmer than before, she no longer suffers from gains and losses, and she has a posture that she can live a good life by guarding her children.

What's more, the emperor and the queen often send rewards to her, and the queen mother on the other side of the imperial garden often asks that Zhao Guiren is the happiest time to live in a honey pot.

When the mood is good, the temper is naturally better.

The palace people who served Zhao Guiren were all a little worried before, and they all said that the pregnant woman had a strange temper and was easy to get angry or make trouble at every turn.

Zhao Guiren's temperament was not good, but he didn't expect it to get better after pregnancy.

This is unusual.

The charcoal fire in the hall burned warmly, because Zhao Guiren was pregnant, the palace people did not dare to put spices, and the palace was a faint charcoal.

This smell is not good, but fortunately, the palace people have been prepared for a long time, and put the spring flowers cultivated in the conservatory of the imperial garden into the palace, and cover the charcoal gas with the fragrance of flowers.

Zhao Guiren wrote, and suddenly yawned.

The little palace maid was quick-eyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to put the wolf down for her, "Master, rest for a while." ”

……

In the harem, the winter is depressed and deserted.

Among the deserted, the loneliest is especially the Changchun Palace.

Changchun Palace was originally the most spacious palace in the east and west six palaces, and Concubine Hui was honored to live in Changchun Palace because she was a person around Queen Jiang and stayed up to the concubine position.

Concubine Li was placed here when she first entered the palace, which was naturally an honor.

But now she realized that the palace also has great disadvantages, once it is deserted, this empty courtyard can't hide her loneliness and coldness at all.

It's like uncovering the brocade dress and showing the real her as she is in front of everyone, without concealment and disguise, which makes her feel uncomfortable at every moment.

Fortunately, Li Concubine is Li Concubine after all, and she quickly walked out of the initial discomfort and used copying Buddhist scriptures to cover up the hustle and bustle outside.

Because she is copying all day long, she can copy faster than other concubines, and she can copy more than ten or twenty pages of the Guanyin Heart Sutra in one day.

Yan'er watched her copy the scriptures like a madman, and couldn't help but think in her heart, I don't know if the Buddha will know what Concubine Li is thinking when the Buddhist scriptures copied out like this are enshrined in front of the Buddha?

Yan'er didn't know what she was thinking.

But the only thing she knew was that Concubine Li must not be thinking about all sentient beings......

"Put away the copied ones."

Concubine Li didn't raise her head, and suddenly said this, Yan'er hurriedly stepped forward to pack up the copied Buddhist scriptures.

The thick stack was not light, Yan'er didn't dare to look at it closely, and after a glance, she only felt that the handwriting on the paper was much sharper than Concubine Li's previous words.

The edges and corners of each word are like knives.

Yan'er didn't know much calligraphy, she didn't even know many words, but she could still see the shape of the characters.

In the past, she felt that Concubine Li's words were the most beautiful among these famous ladies in the capital, and they looked very elegant and gentle, but now that she looks at it, it is not as good as the words of Queen Zhou that she saw in Kunning Palace a few days ago.

Queen Zhou's handwriting is already very good-looking, and now it is becoming more and more mellow and hidden, and it is gradually plump and warm like her, and it is extremely comfortable to watch.

Yan'er suddenly remembered what it meant to be like a person, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Stunned, Li Concubinemin dared to notice something unusual, and looked back at her, "Why don't you go, what are you thinking?" ”

"No, nothing."

Yan'er couldn't help but say: "The slave just remembered that when I went to Kunning Palace a few days ago, I saw Dan'er holding the Buddhist scriptures copied by the queen's mother. The queen mother is pregnant, but she copied a lot. ”

When Concubine Li heard this, her mind moved, and she stopped writing and said, "I heard that the queen has been reading books from time to time recently, is this true?" ”

Yan'er nodded, "I heard that the slave maid is." It is said that the queen mother said that when she was pregnant with a dragon fetus, she would read more, and the prince would be nurtured when he was born in the future, and she would study harder. ”

Concubine Li groaned when she heard this.

Before the child was born, he felt that he was a prince, so don't be disappointed in the future.

She suddenly realized that something was wrong, and turned her head to look at Yan'er, "Could it be that the imperial doctor has diagnosed that the dragon fetus in the queen's womb is a male fetus?" ”

"I haven't heard of this slave."

Yan'er said honestly: "I think if it was diagnosed as a male fetus, such a big happy event would have been spread long ago, right?" If not, it probably not. Besides, the slave has never heard of a woman who can diagnose a man or a woman by checking the pulse. ”

Concubine Li nodded slightly, she had never heard of it outside the palace before.

It's just that I think that the imperial doctor in the palace may have great powers, and I don't know.

She thought about it for a while, and suddenly said: "If this baby in the queen's womb is a princess, then there is still hope that the palace will give birth to the eldest son for the emperor." The emperor is the eldest son under the knee of the first emperor, only a few months longer than the second prince, which is a world of difference. ”

Yan'er opened her mouth, and just wanted to say that even if the queen is a princess in her womb, and the baby in Zhao Guiren's womb, where is it so coincidental that both are princesses?

However, Concubine Li didn't mention whether Zhao Guiren's womb was male or female......

Yan'er suddenly shivered.

She understood.

Concubine Li didn't plan to let the fetus in Zhao Guiren's womb be born smoothly at all, and naturally she didn't consider whether she was pregnant with a man or a girl!

Seeing that she didn't talk for a long time, Concubine Li looked up at her with some displeasure, and Yan'er tried to squeeze out a stiff smile, "Yes...... Oh, yes. Niangniang has the blessing of the gods and Buddhas, and she will definitely be able to conceive a dragon fetus smoothly. ”

Concubine Li turned her face lightly, glanced at the Buddhist scriptures she was copying, and the corners of her mouth gradually curved into a sarcastic arc.
