In the last few days of the ninth year of Yong'an, Lingxi spent time in bed. Every day, I either swallow the medicinal juice to stabilize the fetus, or I eat the tonic to nourish the body.

By the time Imperial Physician Wang allowed Lingxi to get out of bed and move, Lingxi's body had already gained a circle, and from a distance, she was only five pregnant, as if she was seven months old.

Lingxi looked at her huge belly and trembled, and repeatedly asked Imperial Doctor Wang if her belly was too big, but the answer she got was that her body was fine, and the fetus in her womb was also fine.

Coupled with the comfort of filial piety and the Empress Dowager and Emperor Yong'an, Lingxi finally slowly let go of the heart that had been hanging. It's only because I was too tired when I was pregnant with the fifth prince, and now my life is too comfortable, so the fetus in my womb will grow so big.

In a blink of an eye, the Chinese New Year's Eve of the ninth year of Yong'an came with Ruixue, and the entire palace was lit up with lights, and it was festive.

In the Baohe Palace, Emperor Yong'an sat on the main throne and frequently raised glasses with the concubines sitting there, and talked about wine.

Lingxi can't eat or drink while pregnant, so she only sits in her own place, watching those well-dressed concubines appear on the stage, performing tricks that are more eye-catching than the excerpts.

Although Ru Baolin cleared the suspicion of poisoning Qin Baolin's medicine in the matter of Changle Palace, Emperor Yong'an never restored her position.

For this reason, Ru Baolin secretly bit a mouthful of silver teeth.

Therefore, at the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet, she repeated her old skills and once again blew Zixiao, who was greatly praised by Emperor Yong'an at the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet. The difference is that she can only play these solo Xiao, and no one sings with her. is no longer the graceful beauty who catered to her Xiao Yin, but the dancer in the music room.

The result can be imagined, like Baolin returning home.

And some talented people with children's hearts have become a highlight of the palace banquet.

After three months in the palace, the baby fat on Yuan Cairen's face slowly retreated, revealing a palm-sized melon seed face. A pair of eyes like black grapes, shining in the daylight like day.

Yuancairen was the second Cui family daughter to enter the harem after Emperor Yong'an ascended the throne, so in the middle of the palace banquet, Yuancairen deliberately took out his seat and walked to the main seat to toast Xiaohe Empress Dowager.

When the yen was wearing some aqua blue embroidered jasmine Luo skirts, with a playful snail bun on his head, he was clever and innocent and cute in his conversation with Xiao and the Empress Dowager.

Emperor Yong'an listened happily on one side, and even rewarded the string of beads made of ink-colored jade that he was playing with in his hand.

Yuancai people took the beads in their hands very much, and after thanking the reward, they put them on their hands in front of Emperor Yong'an.

Because the string of beads was long, Yuan Cairen went around twice before wrapping around his white wrist. After wrapping around, Yuan Cairen raised his wrist to Emperor Yong'an, showed a naughty smile, and said, "Your Majesty, look at how beautiful this bead is." ”

The ink-colored beads wrapped around the slightly plump wrist of the Yuancai people, lining the delicate skin of the Yuan Cai people like fresh snow in winter.

Emperor Yong'an smiled and said, "If your skin is like cream, you are lined with this color." How about I change your title to 'Mo'? ”

If it were someone else, he would have knelt down and thanked him. But Yuan Cairen blinked his eyes and grinned at Emperor Yong'an, "Your Majesty, but the ink of ink?" It seems that the concubine will have to read poetry and books after she goes back, otherwise she won't be able to call this 'ink' word. ”

Emperor Yong'an laughed when he heard this, and ordered Gonggong Feng to hold his wine cup and reward Yuancai with a glass of wine.

Yuan Cairen picked up the wine cup and drank it proudly, and after wiping the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, he said to Emperor Yong'an with a slightly red face, "The concubine Xie Huang rewarded 'ink'." ”

On the first day of the first month of the tenth year of Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an recruited fortunate talents to sleep in the Manna Palace.

On the second day of the first month of the tenth year of Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an Jin Zheng was a five-grade Yuan talent from the fourth-grade beauty, and officially decreed to change the title to Mo, also known as Moyu Beauty.

The black jade beauty has become an upstart among the harem concubines.

On the sixth day of the first month of the tenth year of Yong'an, the Empress Dowager Xiaohe issued an edict to ban the concubine for half a month and punish her for half a year. The beauty of the sunny day is a talented person of the fifth grade, and she is grounded for two months. Descending from the four pins of Chen beauty for the five pins of Baolin, the eight princesses under their knees were carried to the Yongshou Palace and raised by the Empress Dowager Xiaohe.

Filial piety and the Empress Dowager's edict, the concubines in the harem were at a loss.

Since ancient times, whether it is the emperor's decree or the empress dowager's decree, it will be clear who committed what happened. For example, filial piety and the empress dowager, there is only a punishment result, but there is no reason for punishment, and it is really the first time.

What's even more strange is that none of the three people who were punished went to the Zichen Hall or the Changle Hall to shout grievances, they all obediently accepted Yi's order, and then thought about it behind closed doors in their respective palaces.

Among the three, Chen Baolin's punishment can be regarded as the heaviest, and the eighth princess is the tip of Chen Baolin's heart that fell from her body in October. Now that she is taken away by filial piety and the queen mother, it can be regarded as her lifeline.

From the eighth day of the first month of the tenth month of Yong'an, Chen Baolin, who lived in the Ningxiang Pavilion of Yide Palace, was bedridden due to excessive grief.

On the tenth day of the first month of the tenth year of Yong'an, under the bright sun, the weather turned out to be a little warmer.

Lingxi rarely stepped out of the Luoxue Pavilion and went to the Changle Hall to visit Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager.

In the inner hall of the Changle Palace, Lingxi saw the eighth princess lying in the cradle, only half a year old.

The eighth princess looks pink and tender, and Chen Baolin looks like it was carved out of a mold. The cherry-like little mouth sucks and sucks, and it's indescribably cute.

Lingxi looked at the heart of the heart, so he held his stomach, took a purse with tassels and teased the eighth princess for a while, until the eighth princess's nurse hugged the eighth princess back to the west hall to breastfeed, Lingxi only held the hand of the lotus leaf and sat down on the low kang.

Lingxi looked at the Empress Dowager Xiaohe, who was sitting opposite to eat tea, and asked with a smile, "Ancestor, isn't one of the five princesses enough to trouble you, you actually hugged a smaller one." ”

The Empress Dowager Xiaohe put down the tea cup in her hand, looked at Lingxi and smiled, "You girl, you directly asked the mourning family why the concubine was punished, Qingcairen, Chen Baolin didn't get it, why bother beating around the bush like this?" ”

"Oh......" Lingxi asked with a look of sudden realization, "The ancestors have seen this little bit of thinking about the concubines." That old ancestor, why did you punish Concubine Xian, Qingcai and Chen Baolin? Especially Chen Baolin, the eighth princess is her lifeblood, and now she is hugged by you, I am afraid of ......"

"The mourners won't tell you." The Empress Dowager Xiaohe laughed, and her old face showed a naughty childlike pride, "Besides, what about the mourning family taking the eighth princess to the Changle Palace to raise?" Isn't it much better to grow up in the Mourning Palace than to grow up in her small Baolin Palace? In the future, when the eighth princess walks out, her waist will be three points harder than other princesses. ”

Xiao and the Empress Dowager didn't say the reason, and Lingxi didn't ask deeply, but only catered to the words of Xiao and the Empress Dowager, "It's hard." The eighth princess is so blessed, and Chen Baolin is even more blessed. ”

"Now it's up to her to see if she can afford such a blessing." The Empress Dowager Xiaohe put away the smile on her face and said, "If it is a blessed one, the mourning family doesn't mind changing the eighth princess to a sensible and good concubine." ”

Seeing a trace of anger on the faces of Xiao He and the Empress Dowager, Lingxi stroked her belly, pulled the topic away from Chen Baolin's body, and said with a smile, "Ancestor, why didn't you see the fifth princess making trouble in front of you today?" ”

"Five princesses?" When the Empress Dowager Xiaohe heard the fifth princess, she chuckled, "If I say it, you won't believe it, she has been pestering the princess for a few days." I don't know where she got that tenacity, and she's been running for several days in a row. ”

Lingxi smiled, "I don't know if it's fresh for a few days, and I said that the school girl was popular a few years ago, but I didn't touch it anymore......"

The spirit rhino returned to the Snow Pavilion after eating lunch in the Yongshou Palace. When she returned to the Falling Snow Pavilion, An Xiaowan was already waiting in the inner hall.

Seeing An Xiaowan, who was pale and in a trance, Lingxi felt a trace of surprise in his heart. Sitting firmly on the dwarf kang, Lingxi said bluntly to An Xiaowan, "What's the matter, it's awkward with the emperor again?" ”

An Xiaowan shook her head slightly, her eyes were in a daze and murmured to Lingxi, "She's pregnant......"

"Who's pregnant?"

"Qin Baolin......" An Xiaowan came back to her senses, her eyes blinked, and tears fell big and big, "Just now the emperor was in my palace, Xiaojingzi came to report that Qin Baolin was pregnant, and it has been two and a half months...... Ye Guifei Niangniang, she is actually pregnant......" An Xiaowan grabbed her belly fiercely and cried sadly, "Why not me, why can't I conceive a child......"

Lingxi sighed when he heard this, frowned, and said, "The emperor went to Qin Baolin?" ”

An Xiaowan nodded, "You didn't even look at me, so she followed Xiaojingzi......"

"And then you came to Hongu?"

An Xiaowan became at a loss, and said in a trance, "Concubine, concubine doesn't know where to go?" The concubine doesn't know either, the concubine ......"

After saying a few words in a messy manner, An Xiaowan sat on the ground and covered her face and cried bitterly, "I tried my best to bring her down, but she turned out to be pregnant...... Since then, she has stood in the sun again. And then......" An Xiaowan stroked the scar on the left side of her face, looked at Lingxi and said, "Who am I, who am I in the emperor's heart......"

Lotus Ye couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help frowning and said to An Xiaowan, "Wangui Concubine Niangniang, it's better for you to cry in front of the emperor if you cry here with our mother." Our mother still has a dragon heir in her womb? ”

Lotus Ye's words suddenly alerted An Xiaowan, An Xiaowan stood up from the ground and said in a garbled voice, "Yes, I can't cry here with you." If I hurt your fetus, I will become the second concubine, the second Qingcai, and the second Chen Baolin. Chen Baolin still has a princess to be taken away, what do I have, what do I have? ”

An Xiaowan said, holding the palace maid's hand and hurriedly leaving, only to hear the muddy Lingxi sitting on the low kang and pondering.

After a long time, Lingxi looked at Lotus Ye sharply, and said coldly, "Lotus Ye, what are you hiding from this palace?" ”
