Chapter 137: Pomegranate

Sizhen nodded.

The lark standing aside smiled and said, "Sister Bailing, you go and prepare Gege's breakfast, and I'll change Gege's clothes and makeup." ”

Bai Ling nodded and stepped back.

Sizhen waved his hand, took off the step on his head, and said to the lark: "Come, while Bailing is not there, let's make two moves." ”

The lark looked at the outhouse worriedly: "Gege only broke his foot two days ago, and Sister Bailing will come back in a while, it's time to say that the slave is the maid." ”

"It's okay, she's not that fast." Sizhen had already taken a brocade ribbon and tied his eyes: "Let's say it first, I can't see clearly blindfolded, the sword is ruthless, you have to avoid it." ”

The lark nodded, thinking that Sizhen was already blindfolded, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Gege, the slave and maid are not so bad." Wait a minute, I'll pick things up first. ”

She put her things aside, took two wooden swords, and handed one to Sizhen: "Within a radius of six feet (two meters), Gege don't go out, if you go out, you will lose." ”

After saying that, she squatted in front of her, wanting to give Sizhen a sword on her legs.

Sizhen listened to the sound and identified the position, and the sword went down, blocking the move in the lark's hand, not to mention, and forcing her to roll over dangerously twice, so as to avoid the sword wind.

The two of them jingled and felt the sword wind pointing to their eyebrows, and Sizhen smiled: "Skylark, you have made great progress today, you can force the sword wind to my eyebrows." Mind you, if you don't catch it later, I'll cut off your hand. ”

No one answered, only the wooden sword flashed with her, grazing the hair on her forehead.

Sizhen showed a hint of surprise and said, "You girl, are you clumsy on weekdays?" This is the first time you've been able to bring a sword to me, so I'll let you see how powerful your family is. ”

But no matter how her sword moved, the lark's sword was always less than an inch away from her.

Sizhen smiled while blocking the sword that stabbed her heart: "Hey, where did you learn the tricks?" It's very different from your usual life. ”

The lark over there thought that it was difficult to cope, but he still didn't speak, and only made a sword impenetrable, intending to force Sizhen out of the six-foot square garden.

Sizhen was caught off guard and was stabbed by the other party's sword on the tip of her eyebrows, and then, she felt that the tip of the sword was drawn between her eyebrows, as if she was holding a wooden sword to draw her eyebrows, and Sizhen took advantage of the situation to stab it, and the place where the tip of the sword touched was soft, thinking that it should be the abdomen and chest.

"Skylark, I told you, you must be ruthless and accurate, you can't hesitate, you see, your hesitation, you had the upper hand, but you were stabbed by me, right? But speaking of which, you're making great progress, and you couldn't even get close to me yesterday......"

As she spoke, she tore off the ribbon covering her eyes, but she saw that there was a lark, and the one holding the sword opposite was clearly Fulin.

Sizhen was stunned for a while, and didn't know what to say.

Fu Lin subconsciously withdrew his sword, wanting to explain something, but felt that it was unnecessary. He originally came to see Concubine Niu, but he came to the Chengxi Palace first, stopped the palace people from informing him, and when he came in, he saw the lark holding the wooden sword and Sizhen making a move, so he simply signaled the lark to give him the sword.

Sizhen was blindfolded, the tone of her speech, her demeanor was completely different from when she usually got along with him, the morning light shone on her through the glass window, making her whole person brighter, and she was not wearing the usual serious flag dress of eight hundred, but a homely Hanfu, a blue sleeved shirt on the upper body, a blue-green placket with a Su embroidered fine leaf lotus pattern, and a stone blue dragon satin makeup fine pleated skirt, and the sword thorn swirled like the wind blowing the willows.

Looking at Sizhen's stunned appearance, Fu Lin smiled and said, "Come, have a few more tricks with me." ”

Sizhen had recovered from the shock at this time, threw the wooden sword to the ground, and Ying Yingfu said: "The courtiers ask the emperor to ...... peace."

"Pick up the sword."

"Your Majestyβ€”"

"Pick it up." Fu Lin said in a deep voice.

Sizhen picked up the sword, but said, "Your Majesty, this is unreasonable...... The Emperor ......"

Fu Lin pointed at her with his sword, and said casually: "Shut up, if you make any more noise, I will let you go to the Qianqing Palace to accompany me to practice swords." ”

Sizhen had to shut up obediently and raised his sword to face Fulin: "Your Majesty, be careful-"

When Bailing brought breakfast over, Sizhen had already gone through more than 100 tricks with Fulin, and he was drenched in sweat.

Sizhen took this opportunity to retire, saying that he was going down to change his clothes.

By the time Sizhen came out of the bath and changed clothes and was ready for breakfast, Fulin had already left.

didn't get entangled, didn't call her to talk and study, just went through tricks with her, and it was over?

Sizhen looked at Bailing and asked suspiciously, "The emperor is gone?" Did he come in the morning for something? ”

Skylark said: "Back to Gege, the emperor has already left, and I left a message for you to prepare to accompany the imperial concubine to the palace in June to escape the summer." ”

June? Then there are still three or four months, and I was talking about this early in the morning? Wouldn't it be enough to let a palace person pass the word?

Sizhen was silent.

The furnishings of the room were put back in their place, the wooden swords were put away, the sun smeared everything in a uniform pale gold, and the morning was quiet and peaceful, as if nothing had happened.

Sizhen still remembered that she missed a move because she was restless at the time, and was put on her neck by Fu Lin with a sword from behind, as if she was in Fu Lin's arms, and at that moment, Fu Lin whispered in her ear.

She didn't hear what she said.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's ......"

Seeing Fu Lin striding out of the Chengxi Palace, Wang Laifu, who was waiting at the gate of the palace with the palace people, hurriedly chased Fu Lin in small steps. "Your Majesty...... The minions are also going to bring you breakfast...... This is going to Concubine Niu......."

Wang Laifu is now the chief eunuch beside Fulin.

Last year, because Wu Liangfu was involved in the bribery and collusion between eunuchs and officials, although Fu Lin protected him and did not execute him in accordance with the edict prohibiting eunuchs from interfering in politics, he did not rely on him as much as before, and Wang Laifu came to the fore.

"Go back to the Qianqing Palace."

Wang Laifu's heart was cold, and he secretly complained: Oh, since Zhen Gege moved over, the emperor always wants to come to this Changchun Palace once in three days, but why is the concubine Niu unlucky, and she can't keep the emperor a few times!

Wang Laifu saw that Fu Lin was on the dragon chariot, so he hurriedly followed, shouting: "The emperor is driving-"

The group was walking on the road leading to the Qianqing Palace, and there was a chaotic running sound behind them, shouting while running: "Emperor, Emperor, the slave has something important to report." ”

Seeing that Fu Lin turned his head, Wang Laifu hurriedly asked someone to stop the dragon chariot, and after a while, he saw a little eunuch running over panting, kneeling on the side of the dragon, sweating all over his face, unable to speak for a long time.

Wang Laifu was upset that he had taken the money from Concubine Niu but didn't do a good job, and when he saw the little eunuch kneeling on the ground with his hat disheveled, he went up and kicked him: "It's not long-eyed!" Didn't you say that there was something important, why didn't you speak? In front of the emperor, it is also a place where you can slack off? I think you're tired of being crooked! ”

Because he was afraid that the blessing on the dragon would hear it, his voice was not loud, but his expression was vicious.

The little eunuch struggled to get up, kowtowing like pounding garlic: "The slave should die, the slave should die." Slaves have important things to tell. ”

Although Fu Lin didn't hear what Wang Laifu said, he saw his movements, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The little eunuch raised his head and said loudly with a happy face: "Your Majesty, the deputy position of Yonghe Palace, Wu Gege is pregnant with a dragon heir, and the slave gives the emperor congratulations!" ”

Wu Gege is the first two years of the draft into the palace, the daughter of Yun Cavalry Captain Wu Ka, the mother is Muktu, although he is a Manchurian, but he has lived in the south since he was a child, he can write poetry and paint, and his piano skills are a must, different from the beautiful and soft of the dark cloud beads, and the bright and beautiful end of the four chastities, this Wu Gege was born with eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like clear water, and the whole body is a beautiful spirit, which is pleasing to the eye, plus she usually wears some light blue, tender green and elegant plain colors, which makes people feel like girls over there in the south of the Yangtze River.

Like bamboo, it is slim and green.

Fu Lin showed joy and said softly: "Come on, set up Yonghe Palace." ”

The news of Wu Gege's pregnancy spread all over the Sixth Palace not long after, saying that it was the emperor who set up the Yonghe Palace, and Concubine Duanshun personally confirmed that Wu Gege, who lived in the side hall, was pregnant.

The queen and the imperial concubine also went to the west side hall of Yonghe Palace to visit Concubine Wu Shu and asked her to recuperate with peace of mind.

In addition to going back to Yonghe Palace once every three days, Fulin also sent a imperial doctor and two grandmothers to stabilize the fetus for her, and all kinds of medicinal materials and supplements flowed into Yonghe Palace.

Concubine Niu was pregnant with an heir, although she received a lot of rewards, but she was still a concubine, this Wu Gege was pregnant, and she was promoted to concubine, counting, it was the first share of the imperial concubine after entering the palace, for a while, the people in the palace said that this concubine Wu was going to come out.

She was pregnant and concubined, and the palace concubines went to congratulate her, and everyone's faces were beaming, as if they were pregnant with a dragon heir.

There are those who are more kind, but I hope that they can give birth to a healthy little prince, but it is better to leave the son to the mother, and in childbirth or confinement, they will die.

No matter what other people think, Concubine Wu Shu is still very happy about her first child, although this imperial heir came in time, not only can she be promoted logically, but also won the attention of Concubine Duanshun, and more importantly, if she gives birth to a prince, she may be able to rise again.

It's really not good, she still plans to record this son in the name of the queen, if he is recorded on the genealogy as a concubine, it is not impossible to fight for that position in the future.

Hearing that Concubine Niu also had this plan, Concubine Wu had more thoughts.

Concubine Niu's birth date, but it's just these days, if she gives birth to her brother safely and enters the eyes of Queen Gege, if it doesn't work, there will be no chance for her.

Do you want to go the way of the imperial concubine?

Not to mention Concubine Wu's considerations, on the side of Chengxi Palace, Thrush asked while changing Sizhen's clothes: "Gege, all palaces have sent congratulatory gifts to the Youhuang Pavilion right now, should we also send someone to send something over?" ”

Sizhen asked while wearing the sleeves and buttons, "What did each palace give?" ”

"The Queen's Mother......... Concubine Ke Gege sent a set of gold-inlaid jade longevity locks, and Concubine Zhen Gege sent an embroidered face of hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren...... Concubine Niu and Concubine Ba each gave two dragon and phoenix shirts...... The other palace lords also sent some things to add color...... "The lark is like a bamboo tube pouring beans, and it is reported to Sizhen."

Skylark loves to talk, except for sometimes talking too much, people are very clever, after being taught a few times by Sizhen, he recognized his position, and now he is giving full play to his strengths, and he specializes in collecting information from the palace people in various palaces.

"I remember that there was a pomegranate ornament in the library......... "Si Zhen said.

Pomegranate means fertility and blessings, and it is a very good omen for pregnant women.

Hearing that Sizhen was going to give the jade pomegranate, Bailing said: "Gege, the jade material of the pomegranate is excellent, not to mention, and it is carved along the lines, the pomegranate seeds inside are crystal clear, you also like it very much on weekdays, such a good auspicious rui, why give a concubine?" ”

The thrush also persuaded: "What Sister Bailing said is that we still have a set of pomegranate pens in the library, and the carvers are also good, which is a good sign." ”

Sizhen pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "That's what I said, just wash and load the pomegranate pen according to what Concubine Niu prepared when she was pregnant, and prepare two sets of children's clothes, and send them over." ”
