Early the next morning, Ruotang and Chu Qianlan needed to thank Bailihuang for their holy grace, and as the new daughter-in-law, Ruotang also had to go to the harem to see the queen. yilego.purple okaku io

Listening to Bai Lihuang saying something like harmony between husband and wife, his tone was quite cold and hard, and he still didn't like her daughter-in-law very much. Ruotang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. She probably has no father-in-law in her life, and she thinks that none of the two fathers-in-law before and after her look at her pleasing to the eye.

However, compared to Emperor Chu's attitude of not looking at her at all, this Baili Huang is obviously better than Emperor Chu, and when he said goodbye and left, he also rewarded her with a lot of supplements such as blood swallow ginseng---- although she looked at the noodles in her stomach, but those things were given to her after all.

After teaching two sentences, he sent them to the queen to say goodbye.

Kowtowed to the queen, Chu Qianlan went back to the Qinzheng Palace to be busy---- when he left the Qinzheng Palace, Bai Lihuang specially mentioned that the government affairs were busy, and I don't know if it was really so busy, or Bai Lihuang was jealous of the love between the two of them, and didn't want to see the two of them tired of being together.

After Chu Qianlan left, the queen hurriedly beckoned to Ruotang and motioned for her to sit and talk. "The complexion is good, I heard that it has been three months?"

The queen glanced at her belly several times before she asked kindly.

Ruotang thanked her for her concern before answering, "It's three months." ”

The queen nodded, "When a woman is pregnant, the first three months are especially important, and the first three months have passed, which means that the fetus is secure." However, you should not relax because of this, you should pay attention to it in order to give birth to a healthy emperor's eldest grandson. ”

Ruotang responded with a smile.

The queen looked at her, but suddenly sighed, "This palace really never dreamed that there would be such a day. This palace originally thought that it was going to be like before, and it was trampled under the feet of Concubine Shu until she died, but she never thought that there would be such a day! It's all a credit to both of you. ”

"It's a blessing to yourself." Ruotang smiled modestly: "If you are not a blessed person, it is useless for me and His Highness to be afraid of how much we do." "Ideliba.

The queen shook her head. "There are also these properties of the Zhou family in the Lu Kingdom, which can be regarded as cheapening the palace for nothing."

"Who else would dare to take over but you?" Ruotang smiled, "If you weren't willing to take over, those who worked diligently for the Zhou family wouldn't be able to keep it." It's not so much that we cheapened you, but that under the circumstances at that time, we selfishly transferred the trouble to you, and fortunately you didn't suffer from the revenge of Concubine Shu because of this. ”

"You're a talker." The queen shook her head and said with a smile, she didn't know that if these properties were not sold to her, as long as the door of the shop was closed before Concubine Shugui's revenge, everyone could escape the catastrophe by hiding first, and she would not be able to take it over. The Zhou family sold these properties to her cheaply. In fact, it was just a favor returned to her by the two of them---- compensation for the fact that she helped them and was retaliated against by Concubine Shugui. "If there is anything inconvenient in this palace in the future, you can tell this palace."

Ruotang thanked the queen for her kindness, and chatted with her for a while, but the queen didn't dare to stay with her for a long time, so she sat down for a while and let her go back to the East Palace to rest.

……

The days in the palace are actually very boring, although the people in the East Palace are all Chu Qianlan's thousands of choices and trust, and they don't have to follow too many rules and systems, but in such a small world, it is very boring to stay every day, and it is not as good as the day when Chu Qianlan opened a mansion and lived outside.

But fortunately, no matter how busy Chu Qianlan is, she will insist on accompanying her for three meals, and whenever she has free time, she will accompany her to walk around, and even the queen will come over to talk to her when she has something to do, which makes Ruotang really embarrassed. After all, people are elders.

Time passed negligently, and by the time Ruotang changed into thick winter clothes, her belly gradually bulged. During this period, Zhou Houyuan originally planned to return to Dachu, after all, there is no industry in Liuguo that he needs to take care of, but after saying it again and again, Zhou Houyuan is still stranded on the land of Liuguo. Ruotang originally thought that his uncle wanted to wait for Zhou Liangyun and her to give birth safely before he could return to Dachu with confidence, but who knew that the truth was extremely hurtful.

Zhou Liangyun asked someone to send a letter, telling Ruotang that Zhou Houyuan was not worried about the two of them, but that he was reluctant to have a baby. It is said that once the burden was on his back, and the person had already walked out of the door, but the baby rubbed his sleepy eyes and crawled everywhere to find Zhou Houyuan, Zhou Houyuan heard that he did not find him, the baby was crying, and immediately lost the burden and turned around and rushed back, seeing that the baby was really crying and hiccuping, but he still cried and cried silently, until he saw Zhou Houyuan. This one is crying. It's hard for Zhou Houyuan to feel sorry for him, where is he willing to go.

Ruotang read the letter, couldn't laugh, and told Chu Qianlan about this incident as a joke, "Can you imagine that a man like my brother-in-law is willing to be led by a milk doll?" I heard that he is in charge of the baby's eating, drinking, and sleeping now, but it makes Sister Yu an outsider. ”

Chu Qianlan laughed twice with her, groaned for a while, and played with Ruotang's fingers and asked, "What do you think of Uncle Yu Furui?" ”

Ruotang didn't understand what he meant for a while, and nodded: "The two of them are very good." ”

Suddenly felt that something was not quite right, and immediately came to his senses, and sat up from his arms with two eyes, "You mean, brother-in-law and Sister Yu?" ”

"Yes, I'm talking about them." Chu Qianlan funnily pinched her much rounder face, it felt so good that he pinched it twice before letting go, "Uncle likes the baby so much, the baby just doesn't have a father, do you think this thing can be done?" ”

Ruotang couldn't help nodding at first, her uncle and Yu Furui were both important relatives to her, especially when Ruotang knew that Yu Furong had threatened King Jin with the child in her womb for her not to embarrass Princess Guoan, Ruotang was even more grateful to Yu Furui. Not to mention the uncle, who has gone through so many things, if it weren't for the fact that the uncle always supported them at critical moments, so that they hardly had any worries, otherwise it would be difficult to say who won or lost today.

If these two people who are very important to Ruotang can be together, Ruotang will naturally raise his hands and feet in favor.

But her excitement was quickly pulled back by reality, "Although the two of them are very compatible with each other, if they want to be together, I'm afraid it's not so simple." ”

Chu Qianlan raised her eyebrows, "What do you say?" ”

Not to mention that they were enemies, for some reason they always disagree, quarreling and bickering at every turn, and no one looks at each other well. Even if there is no these, the uncle has a different affection for Sister Yu because of the baby, but Sister Yu is only afraid that she is very sad---- although she said that there is a suitable man to consider, but she is a traditional conservative Da Chu person, not to mention, and was heartbroken by King Jin, I am afraid that I have never thought about accepting a man again. ”

What's more, although Yu Furui has never felt that it is not a shameful thing to drag a child without her husband, but now that she has no mother's family---- she is already a long-dead person on the surface, and with a child, she must feel that she is a little unworthy of her uncle. Therefore, even if the uncle really has a heart, this thing is very difficult to do.

What's more, none of them know whether the uncle has this mind or not.

Chu Qianlan nodded, "What you said also makes sense. ”

But this has nothing to do with them in the end, he just thought about it casually, so he planned to end the topic, "I received a letter from King Kang today. ”

"Huh?" Ruotang's brain was knotted for a while, and she almost couldn't think of any King Kang, and when she remembered who this lord was, she couldn't help frowning slightly: "King Kang still has correspondence with you?" ”

"It's the first time." Chu Qianlan smiled, hugged her in her arms, and raised her hand to gently caress her bulging belly, "He wrote to congratulate me on becoming the prince of Liuguo, and asked me for a little favor by the way." ”

"What's the busy?" Ruotang couldn't help but ask vigilantly.

Looking at her little appearance, Chu Qianlan couldn't help laughing, and gently pecked her cheek before replying: "He said that he received news that King Duan had come to Liuguo, and asked me to help pay attention to it." ”

Ruotang also remembered that last year's Chinese New Year's Eve rebellion, King Duan disappeared that night, and thought that he might die in that chaos, but he didn't expect him to go to the country of Liu.

Ruotang was a little worried, "If King Duan arrives in Liuguo and knows about you, and then publicizes your previous identity in Dachu, won't there be trouble?" ”

"I also want him to have the ability to see me." Chu Qianlan wasn't worried at all, "I'll let people pay attention, you don't have to worry." ”

Ruotang thought about it, he stayed in the palace on weekdays, and with King Duan, a rogue criminal, could he still run to the palace to expose Chu Qianlan? "King Kang didn't say anything else in the letter? How is Emperor Chu's health, and how long can he last? ”

The corners of Chu Qianlan's mouth hooked slightly, and she said lightly: "It's said that it's getting worse, I'm afraid it won't last long." Ask me if I will go back then? ”

"Will you go back?" Ruotang couldn't help but be curious.

In fact, there is no difference between Da Chu and Liuguo to her, and she has not been in Liuguo for a long time in Dachu. But Chu Qianlan is different, he can be said to be a native of Chu, even if he has no feelings for Emperor Chu, but after all, he has been called his father for the New Year.

"Let's see." Chu Qianlan smiled.

It's just that they all understand that with his current identity as Liu Guotai, even if he wants to go back, the road is far away, and it will be strange that Baili Huang will let him go after coming and going for several months.

"What happened to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother?" Ruotang suddenly remembered, "By the way, there is also the concubine Li who is infatuated with you, I don't know what kind of situation it is now?" ”

Since leaving Da Chu, the things that have happened one after another have made her almost never think of the people next to her except for the Zhou family.

Obviously, Chu Qianlan had made people pay attention, and she opened her mouth and replied: "After the Chinese New Year's Eve rebellion subsided, the Queen Mother only knew about this matter, she was old, and when she saw the appearance of Chu Huang paralyzed in bed, she was greatly stimulated, and she fainted when she heard it. Later, although he was rescued by the imperial doctor, he was not as tough as in previous years. ”

When it came to the Queen Mother, Chu Qianlan had some unconscious warmth in her eyes, presumably it was in Da Chu, the only old man who had given him a little warmth.

"As for the queen mother, on the night she learned that she was dead, after she killed the concubine with her own hands, she also hanged herself with a white silk in the palace." Chu Qianlan said slowly in a voice without a trace of emotion: "As for Concubine Li, I heard that she wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape from the palace that night and pretend to be a palace maid, but unfortunately died under the knife. ”

Ruotang blinked at him: "Did you really die under the knife?" ”

Chu Qianlan coughed lightly, without the slightest embarrassment of being exposed, "Die under Bentai's chaotic knife, that is also called chaotic knife." ”

Ruotang pursed her lips, knowing that this stingy man would not easily let go of the person who wanted to harm her. She won't pity the person who wants to put herself to death, but she just thinks that it is a little ...... for Concubine Li to die like this Cheaper her.

"And the Shen family, do you want to listen?" Chu Qianlan asked her.

Ruotang raised his eyebrows, "Uncle has already told me." ”

"The latest news has arrived."

"Oh? Let's hear it. Ruotang actually has no interest in paying attention to those people in the Shen family, knowing that the Shen family is in decline and knowing that they are not doing well, Ruotang is very relieved.

"The Shen family can be said to be a wall that everyone pushes, originally Lord Shen offended a lot of people when he was in the court, since he lost power, naturally there are few people who fall into the ground, the Shen family's two rooms and three rooms are innocently implicated, and they are even more complaining, venting their anger and resentment on Lord Shen. Lord Shen had no choice but to take his old mother's coffin and lead the crazy Mrs. Shen back to the Shen family's old house in Xincheng. Originally, Lord Shen still wanted to find 6 Zhengli to return to the Shen family, but first, he couldn't find anyone, and secondly, Mrs. Shen was so crazy that she couldn't leave anyone for a moment, otherwise she would cause trouble, so Lord Shen was really anxious and couldn't spare his hand, so he had to give up. Chu Qianlan said with a smile: "On the way back to Xincheng, Mrs. Shen stumbled and fell into the river and drowned. ”

"Did you really fall and drown?" Ruotang's eyebrows jumped.

Chu Qianlan glanced at her appreciatively, "You guessed it, she didn't fall by herself, but was pushed down by the overwhelmed Lord Shen herself." ”

Ruotang sighed when he heard it, "I think back then, in order to straighten Mrs. Shen, he didn't hesitate to watch them kill my mother, but in the end, he killed Mrs. Shen with his own hands." Such a man is really terrible. ”

"Unfortunately, Lord Shen's murder of Mrs. Shen fell into the eyes of the boat family, and the boat family accused him of murder, and Lord Shen was thrown into the local prison, and I heard that he did not survive the punishment, and died on the spot."

After he said this, he stared at Ruotang a little nervously, for fear that she would feel unbearable or sad because of this, after all, no matter how unbearable that person was, he was also her father.

Ruotang just sighed with emotion, "This kind of ending is not bad for him." ”

"Aren't you sad?" Chu Qianlan couldn't help but be curious. In fact, he knew that her heart was not as tough as she thought.

"Don't be sad." Ruotang smiled indifferently, "From the moment he personally ordered me to be killed, he was no longer my father. To me, he's just a stranger. ”

What's more, it was indeed Shen Anbang who personally ordered Shen Ruotang to be killed. The real Shen Ruotang is dead, she already has no feelings for Shen Anbang and the Shen family, how can she feel sad because of Shen Anbang's death?

……

Soon it was the month of Layue, and the child in Ruotang's belly was more than five months old. She eats well and sleeps well on weekdays, no matter who sees her, they all say that she has a good pregnancy, and the queen even sewed small clothes for her unborn child by herself, and the inner court even took out the same enthusiasm and attitude as she did to treat Ruotang and the child in her belly. But whenever there is a little wind and grass, the people in the court must be afraid, for fear that the most precious concubine at present will fall on their heads if something goes wrong if they are not careful.

Such caution made Ruotang really cry and laugh, and wanted to go out of the palace to play with her uncle, look at this posture, before the child in her belly landed, she was afraid that she would not be able to walk out of the palace gate half a step.

Ruotang couldn't bear to be embarrassed by these palace people who stared at her belly all day, at most, when they were bored, they arranged flowers with the palace maids, played all safety-oriented small games such as Double 6, and smoothly survived until the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

For Chinese New Year's Eve, a festival that is very important no matter where it is placed, I don't know if the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet in Dachu last time left a deep impression on Ruotang, causing her to subconsciously dislike this festival in her heart.

But the cutscene still has to go.

Ruotang changed into the grand clothes of the concubine, and followed Baili Huang with Chu Qianlan to worship the ancestors of the Baili family, and after that, there was basically nothing for her.

Baili Huang saw Ruotang's expression, and thought that she was uncomfortable, and she couldn't take care of it, so she let her leave first after the sacrifice was over, which made Xiao Min, who was traveling with her, envious and jealous.

As a rule, the evening is a palace banquet, and her first appearance as a concubine at such a banquet should naturally be treated cautiously and solemnly.

Dressing up in front of the mirror, Chu Qianlan hurriedly walked in.

"Since it's not very comfortable, I don't have to go to the palace banquet tonight."

"Huh?" Ruotang was very surprised and stopped drawing his eyebrows and looked at him, "You don't have to go?" ”

Chu Qianlan smiled: "You are getting heavier, this day is cold, if you don't accidentally blow the wind and get cold, how can it be good?" The father and the queen have talked, if you are not well, you don't have to go to join in the fun. ”

Ruotang blinked, and he didn't know what to do with joy, so he immediately dropped the snail in his hand and breathed a long sigh of relief, "I just saved that entertainment, but ----"

She looked at Chu Qianlan and pouted, "I'm going to be alone tonight?" ”

"Didn't you have any children with you?" Chu Qianlan laughed at her, reached out and touched her pursed lips, "Okay, don't be childish, otherwise they will laugh at you again in a while." You play with them obediently, I promise you to come back early to accompany you for the New Year, okay? ”

When Chu Qianlan left, Ruotang felt bored, Cai Qing saw her listless appearance, pursed her lips and smiled: "Niangniang, if you are bored, why don't you call Jixiang to play double 6 with you again?" ”

Ruotang shook his head, in this group of people, only Jixiang is as bad as her---- miserable!

"Then, let's cut the window paper, the slave will have a lot of tricks." Cai Qing suggested again.

Ruotang shook his head again, his wandering gaze looked aimlessly, and finally landed on Cai Qing's wrist, and he was immediately shocked: "Cai Qing, where did you get this gold-inlaid jade jade bracelet?" ”

Cai Qing's face turned red, and he hurriedly slid down his sleeves to cover the jade bracelet on his wrist, and said stumblingly: "This, this is what you used to reward the slave maid, have you forgotten?" ”

Ruotang knew that there was a ghost when he saw her appearance, and grabbed her wrist, "I don't remember when I rewarded you with this bracelet, it's not new, the carving on it looks a little familiar......"

"Not familiar, not familiar." Cai Qing wanted to withdraw his hand as if he was a thief, but he was afraid that he would hurt Ruotang if he couldn't control his strength. But he was anxious in his heart, for fear that Ruotang, who was staring at the bracelet, would see something, and the cold sweat was about to come down for a while, "This is the day of the slave...... Didn't I run errands for you that day, the queen saw that the slave maid was cute and tight, and she was happy to give this bracelet to the slave maid. ”

"Really?" Ruotang looked up at her suspiciously.

Cai Qing nodded like pounding garlic, "Really, really, how dare the slave dare to deceive you?" ”

"Little deception." Ruotang snorted and raised his voice to call: "Auspicious." ”

When Cai Qing heard Ruotang shouting auspicious, she was anxious to get into the crack in the ground, "Niangniang, don't call it, don't call it, can't the slave tell the truth?" ”

It's a pity that she doesn't have a chance to tell the truth, because Jixiang has floated out of nowhere.

Ruotang didn't speak, pulled Jixiang's wrist to take a look, and sure enough, he saw that Jixiang's wrist was also wearing a gold-inlaid jade jade bracelet with the same color and workmanship, but the carving on the bracelet was a tangled branch lotus, and Jixiang was just Ling Shuangmei.

Ruotang put his two wrists in one place, and looked at Cai Qing, who hung his head on his chest with a smile, "These two jade bracelets look like a pair, but it's a little strange, why is one here for you, but the other is here for auspiciousness?" ”

Ji Xiang glanced at Cai Qing expressionlessly, "That's just my brother." These bracelets are my mother's relics, one for my brother as a family heirloom, and the other for me as my dowry. ”

Ruotang's eyes widened in surprise, "Since it is your family heirloom, it must be what Ruyi's future wife should have, how can it appear on Cai Qing's wrist, this is too strange." ”

"Mother, you bully!" Cai Qing finally quit, and after brewing for a long time, he only held back this sentence with a flushed face, and rushed out with a stomp to cover his face.

"The little girl is thin-skinned, and the girl should be married, what is there to be ashamed of." Ruotang's mood finally improved, and he looked at Ji Xiang and said: "There is nothing wrong with two lovers, but it is a bit too much to make a private decision for life or something?" Cai Qing is a first-class good maid by my side, your brother wants to marry her, and if he doesn't come to me in person to propose marriage, I won't respond. ”

Ji Xiang replied seriously: "The subordinates will tell him the truth." ”
