The third prince, Li Lingyu, was only three months old, wrapped in bright yellow swaddling clothes, leaving only two small hands to play outside. Concubine Xian and Lingxi crawled on the side of the blue to see him, he shouted at the two of them, and then stuffed his little meat into his mouth to eat, eating deliciously.

Because it is small, its appearance has not yet grown, and Lingxi did not see whether the three princes looked like Emperor Yong'an or Xian Concubine.

Concubine Xian sat on the bamboo chair next to the cradle of the three princes, took a jade pendant tied with a red rope and shook it in front of the eyes of the three princes. After catching it a few times and not getting his wish, the third prince kicked his calves and cried. It wasn't until Concubine Xian put the small jade pendant in the little hands of the three princes that the three princes stopped sobbing and let out a laugh.

Lingxi's eyes moved with the three princes' every move, and a smile like a flower slowly appeared on his face.

"Sister, hug Yu'er." Seeing that Lingxi liked it, Concubine Xian encouraged on the side.

"No, no, no!" Lingxi waved his hand at Xian Concubine again and again, "I don't, I haven't held a child." ”

Concubine Xian saw Lingxi's eyes staring at the third prince, and laughed out loud with a look of expectation and prevarication. He stood up, carefully picked up the third prince, shook it in his arms for a while, and then sent it to Lingxi.

A milky fragrance came to the nose, sweet, fragrant, and smelly.

Lingxi stretched out two slightly stiff hands and carefully took the third prince into his arms. The small body of the third prince was soft, and Lingxi was messed up when he took it, and he was afraid of hurting him no matter how he moved.

"Sister, sister," Lingxi's face showed an expression similar to excitement and anxiety, and she called out to Xian Concubine repeatedly, "Sister, quickly teach me how to hug me." ”

"Relax, don't hold it like that, if you don't feel well, he won't feel well." Concubine Xian made a gesture of holding the child to teach Lingxi, "The arm should be like this, bent like this, yes, yes, that's it." ”

Under the guidance of Concubine Xian, Lingxi finally carefully held the third prince in his arms. The hands of the three princes danced wildly in the air, but they didn't recognize life, grabbed the tassel hanging from the head of the spirit rhino and pulled it hard. Frightened, Lingxi said again and again, "Sister, that hairpin is pointed, don't hurt the third prince." ”

Concubine Xian hurriedly took the small drum placed next to her and beat it. The small drum made a fluttering sound, which instantly attracted the attention of the three emperors, and a pair of small eyes like fine beans moved with the small drum, and the little hand released the tassel on the head of the spirit rhinoceros.

Granny Su, who had been standing next to her, came over and said to Concubine Xian, "Niangniang, the little prince is going to breastfeed." ”

After Concubine Xian nodded, Grandma Su blessed Lingxi again, and hugged the third prince from Lingxi's arms.

"Let's get out." Concubine Xian stood up and said, "The third prince will sleep after eating, let's go to the main hall and sit down." ”

Lingxi reluctantly looked at the direction in which the three princes left, and left the side hall of Deyang Hall with the concubine.

From that day on, Lingxi would go to the Weiyang Palace to greet Queen Zhu with the concubine and Lan Meiren early every day. Eat a cup of tea there quietly, and then follow the concubine to the Deyang Palace to tease the three princes. Until it was close to noon, I returned to the Yilan Palace, took a break after lunch, and after getting up, I either embroidered the belly pocket for the three princes, or practiced calligraphy. Although the life is monotonous, it is also comfortable.

In an instant, the day came to June. The weather in June is like a child's face, saying that it will change, Queen Zhu saw that the weather was cloudy and uncertain, and passed down a word early, if the weather is bad, don't go to ask for peace. Therefore, the concubines will only go to Weiyang Palace when the weather is good, and on cloudy or rainy days, they will pass the time in their own palaces.

There is no need to ask for peace, it seems that all the concubines are relieved, after all, it is not something to be happy to sit there every day and listen to Queen Zhu, Rou Concubine, and Ying Concubine laughing and laughing. What they care more about is who Emperor Yong'an favored yesterday, who he canonized, or who is pregnant.

On the second day of the sixth month of the fourth year of Yong'an, Licai was diagnosed by the imperial doctor and was pregnant with a dragon heir for more than two months, and all the concubines in the harem had a tacit understanding to keep their eyes on Licairen's lower abdomen.

Emperor Yong'an was very happy, and said to Empress Zhu the next day, "Licai has been in the palace for three years, and if you are pregnant, you should also enter the position." ”

As a result, Licai was named a beauty from the fourth grade.

When Limei first knew that she was pregnant with a dragon seed, she would also show some arrogance in front of the concubines. But since the sedan chair she was sitting on slid down on the small stone road outside the Yongshou Palace, she became nervous, and the grass and trees were all soldiers. All day long, I saw that the palace maid in my palace either wanted to harm her, or that one was sent by someone else's palace. When Emperor Yong'an went to see her, she also cried and begged Emperor Yong'an to change her with a batch of new minions.

Emperor Yongan sympathized with her pregnancy and hardship, so he relied on her. But who knew that within two days, she felt that the new palace maid in the palace was still sent by others to harm her, and she scolded the palace maid and eunuch, and even the imperial doctor personally boiled the fetal medicine she could smash it, pointing to the name of Imperial Physician Zhou and saying that Imperial Physician Zhou had received money from others to harm her.

Limei made trouble three times a day, and the concubines did not dare to visit her palace again, for fear that one would accidentally be accused of murdering the emperor's heir. Whoever has two heads on his neck does not have two heads, and they can hide as far as they can.

During this period, it was bitter for Lanmei and Ningcai. On weekdays, Lan Meiren, Ning Cairen and Li Meiren have the most intimate relationship, Lan Meiren, Ning Cairen go to see her, she will suspect that the two of them are jealous of her and want to harm her. But when Lan Mei and Ning Cai didn't look at her, she would scold Lan Mei and Ning Cai in the palace for being unkind.

A beautiful woman, noisy so that the whole harem is not peaceful.

Originally, Empress Zhu was pregnant with the dragon heir and tolerated her more, but the beauty became more and more interested, and in the end, Queen Zhu had to ground the beauty and let her raise the baby in her palace with peace of mind.

But who knew that Queen Zhu's words, Limei smashed everything in her palace that could be smashed, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai's cry, "I know that you are uneasy and kind, and you will not be able to see the emperor in this square land, and in the end my life and death are not up to you." Leave me a house full of unfaithful minions, how can I raise a baby with peace of mind? I'm afraid that if I keep it, I won't have ......."

Limeiren turned her anger on Queen Zhu, making all the concubines in the harem secretly relieved. Empress Zhu, as the master of the Middle Palace, is stronger than them. If this refers to scolding them famously, I am afraid that they will not be able to eat and walk around.

At this time, the most comfortable ones are the concubines and the spirits.

Lingxi held the red and black-edged belly pocket with nine pomegranates and one peach embroidered by himself and compared it to the third prince, with a warm smile on his face, and said, "It's just right, I hung a pure cotton lining, it's hot in the summer, and the little prince is wearing it just to absorb sweat." ”

"One on the left and one on the right." Concubine Xian took the embroidered belly pocket of Lingxi in her hand and looked at it, and laughed at Lingxi, "Now the belly pocket on Yu'er's body is embroidered by you, but you don't need to embroider it by my own hand." ”

Lingxi smiled indifferently and said, "I have a lot of time left and right, and I am idle when I go back, and it will be interesting to find something to do." ”

Concubine Xian called the nurse to take the third prince out, retreated left and right, and took Lingxi's hand and said, "You won't fight?" ”

After the two lucky tricks of Emperor Yong'an were pushed by the spirit rhino disease, Emperor Yong'an never passed on the spirit rhino again.

Lingxi played with a piece of jade pendant of good color that fell from his waist, and said, "It's not what I want, isn't it good to live a quiet life like this now?" ”

"It's not a long-term solution." Concubine Xian sighed, "You like children so much, it is better to have a son and a half daughter by your side, so as not to be lonely." ”

Lingxi looked at the direction in which the third prince was taken away, and was silent.

Concubine Xian raised her slender jade hand and poked a finger on Lingxi's forehead, "You dead-eyed!" ”

Concubine Xian saw that she couldn't move Lingxi, so she pulled the topic to Limeiren, who was making a lot of trouble, "Sister, you said that Limeiren said this, who wanted to harm her?" ”

Lingxi smiled lightly, "I think she did too much bad things, and she was scared by herself." ”

Concubine Xian shook her head, "It must not be, otherwise how could her delicate slip on the small stone road behind the Yongshou Palace." ”

Lingxi laughed out loud, looked at the concubine with watery eyes and said, "The small stone road outside the Yongshou Palace will be slippery when it rains, and the Empress Dowager Xiaohe will not go out on a rainy day when she is in the palace, and even if she goes out, she will let the eunuch carry the sedan chair and walk around." Where is someone harming her, it is obvious that Limei herself is weak-hearted. ”

Concubine Xian let out a long sigh, and then said, "This palace is also repaired here and there every year, why don't you repair the stone road?" ”

Lingxi said slowly, "In the past, when Xiao and the Empress Dowager were in the palace, they didn't move it because they were troublesome, but I think it's fast, I'm afraid that soon the gravel road will be paved again." ”

On June 20 of the fourth year of Yong'an, Limeiren's body was red, and Dr. Zhou diagnosed that Limeiren's nerves were too nervous.

When Emperor Yong'an arrived at the palace, the fetus in Limeiren's womb had been saved. Limei was lying on the couch, with a pale face, holding Emperor Yong'an's hand and crying, "Your Majesty, someone wants to kill the concubine." If it weren't for the concubine smashing the bowl of poison, I'm afraid the emperor wouldn't be able to see the concubine. ”

"Poison?" Emperor Yong'an was puzzled when he heard this, and turned around and asked Imperial Doctor Zhou, who was kneeling at his feet, "You take care of the beautiful human fetus, how can there be poison in this hall?" ”

The sweat on Imperial Physician Zhou's forehead couldn't stop flowing down his cheeks, and he said while kowtowing to Emperor Yong'an, "Emperor Qiqi, that is a bowl of fetal medicine, which was boiled by Weichen himself and served to Limeiren." ”

"Nonsense!" Limeiren, who was lying on the bed, struggled to get up, pointed at Doctor Zhou and said, "That's obviously an abortion pill with safflower." If you murder the emperor's heir, his heart can be punished! "

Then he turned to Emperor Yong'an and cried, "The emperor will definitely make decisions for his concubines!" ”

Imperial Physician Zhou kowtowed to Limeiren and said to Limei, "If Limeiren doesn't believe that it is a fetal pill, you can call other colleagues from the Tai Hospital to come and check, what Weichen said is true!" ”
