The month of Lingxi is not deep, so naturally it is inevitable to greet Queen Zhu every morning. No matter how much Empress Zhu doesn't like Lingxi in her heart, she will finally give a little smile for the sake of the dragon heir in her belly.

Because Lingxi entered the position, his position in the Weiyang Hall moved to the front of Concubine Yu in one fell swoop, and he sat in the position of Concubine Xin's hand. Xin Concubine's first hand is the noble concubine who gave birth to the three princes.

Ben Xinfei politely asked Lingxi to sit in front of her, but Lingxi repeatedly shirked it.

Empress Zhu moved her seat to the front of Concubine Yu and already made her resentful of Concubine Yu, if she sat in front of Concubine Xin again, I am afraid that she would not be able to cover her mouth even more.

Concubine Ren's month was one month deeper than Lingxi's, and she was already four months pregnant at this time. Concubine Ren sat in the first seat on the left hand, with a soft smile on her face, where could she still see that she was the princess Renning of Dayue who didn't put Queen Zhu in her eyes and made trouble in the harem.

On December 23, Empress Zhu took the concubines in the harem to sacrifice to the stove.

On December 24, the palaces began to be decorated with lanterns, and the red lanterns hung in rows on the eaves, making them more and more festive.

On December 25th, the head of the Lingyan Palace, Mama Lu and Mama Shui, carefully inspected the palaces in the Yongle Palace. See if the various configurations for the New Year are complete and whether there are any deficiencies.

In previous years, Lingxi watched Xian Gui Concubine do this kind of thing, but now that he is the head of the first house, he knows that there are really a lot of things.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about candles during the New Year is a big problem.

From the 25th of December, red candles are to be lit in every palace until dawn. The expenses during this period can be described as huge. In addition to the candles, it is also necessary to carefully arrange the palace maids and eunuchs on duty at night, and the slightest mischief will cause a catastrophe.

Lingxi is pregnant, and these things shouldn't be done. But she knew the fatigue of the palace people below, if she didn't come forward and put the cruel words in front, maybe some of the people on duty at night would be lazy.

These miscellaneous things were arranged steadily, and the day came to December 28.

At night, Lingxi rested on the kang in the inner hall, eating sour plums, and listening to lotus leaves and Qiaozhu chatter.

Lotus Ye is no longer waiting by Lingxi's side, and Lingxi intends to let Lotus Ye be in charge of all matters in the Lingyan Palace, or take the opportunity to send her out to train with Mama Lu. Although the lotus leaf is stupid, it is not stupid, and it has eaten a few points of Taoism in a few days, and it has slowly become a little responsible.

Lotus Ye said, "The slave maid went to various palaces with Mama Lu to check today, and then I learned that in the Yongle Palace, in addition to our Lingyan Palace, the Invitation Moon Pavilion where no one lives, the Qingqiu Pavilion where Duocai people live, and the Baihua Hall where Ning Cai people live, there is actually a Furong Xuan. I heard that the hibiscus is full of hibiscus, and it looks very good in summer. ”

The configuration of the Dashun harem palace is a main hall, three partial halls, and countless pavilions. If it weren't for the fact that there was a master living in which pavilion, few people could remember that there was such a place.

"Yongle Palace says that it is not small, but it is not big." Lingxi spit out the core of the sour plum in his mouth and chuckled, "You know about Furong Xuan today, maybe you know something else tomorrow." It's okay, you can ask Mama Lu about it, there must be something else. ”

"There must be." Lotus Ye replied with a chuckle, "During the Chinese New Year, the red candles in all palaces will be bright, and Mama Lu will send two rough palace maids to Furong Xuan to watch the night, and the slaves and maids are reluctant to see those little palace maids." ”

"Of course not." Qiaozhu took the sour plum kernel spit out by Lingxi with a small jade saucer, and said, "A palace without a master can't burn the earth dragon, and there is no charcoal basin to keep warm." On the first day of the new year, I missed kowtowing to my master to ask for a reward, and no one wanted to do such an errand. ”

"If only it were a main hall." Lingxi chuckled and said, "Even if the main hall doesn't have a master to live in, it will be warmer than those side halls. ”

"It's not going to be warm." Lotus Ye smiled, "Fortunately, when Niangniang moved the hall, it burned two days in advance, otherwise this Lingyan Hall would not be as warm as it is now." ”

Lingxi nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "I remember that when Xian Guifei was pregnant with a dragon heir and had not yet given birth to a child, the earth dragon was ignited in the Deyang Hall early. When the noble concubine gave birth to the dragon heir, she moved in directly. ”

Qiaozhu said curiously, "But the slave maid heard that the concubine Xian Gui only moved into the Deyang Hall after opening the spring." ”

Lingxi chuckled in his heart for no reason, only to feel a little panicked, covering his mouth and feeling disgusted.

Lotus Ye hurriedly took a clean spittoon and put it in front of Lingxi, and waited until Lingxi vomited enough before taking it away. Qiaozhu brought clean warm water to Lingxi and let Lingxi rinse his mouth.

After some tossing, Lingxi's face turned a little pale, and there was a smile on his face that reassured Lotus Ye and Qiaozhu, and said, "This child is so good at tossing, he really can't live in peace for a day." ”

Lotus Ye took the spittoon out and handed it to Hanyan, turned around and smiled, "Niangniang, it's good that the little prince can toss, which shows that the little prince is doing well in Niangniang's belly." ”

Lingxi took the post and tried her lips, and said to Qiaozhu with a smile, "Where did you hear this?" Didn't the Deyang Hall burn for a winter in vain? ”

"The slave maid listened to Mama Lu." Qiaozhu peeled a fresh berry, cut it into small pieces, put it on a white jade plate and handed it to Lingxi, "Mama Lu said that Xian Guifei was very weak after giving birth to the third prince, and the third prince was young, so she only moved in after opening the spring." ”

Lingxi's heart suddenly became clear, yes, the third prince has just been born, how can he change the palace in winter? Even if it is warm in the Deyang Palace, it is freezing outside. If it hurts the little prince, who can afford it?

Lingxi thought about it for a long time, and still said to Qiaozhu, "Qiaozhu, you ask, whether the Deyang Palace burned the earth dragon that year, I was also in a trance...... But as soon as the words came out, Lingxi said anxiously, "Forget it, don't ask, it's me who is boring, Chen Sesame rotten grain, let it pass......"

In the last sentence, Lingxi seems to be saying to Qiaozhu, and it seems to be saying it to himself.

In the blink of an eye, it is December 29, the night of Chinese New Year's Eve. After observing Chinese New Year's Eve, it was the first day of the first month of the sixth year of Yong'an.

On the eighth day of the first month of the sixth year of Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an held a banquet in Yongle Palace to celebrate Lingxi's birthday. On that day, all the harem concubines were present, and even Concubine Ren prepared generous gifts and made trouble with the concubines until the afternoon. If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Yong'an was pregnant with Concubine Ren in Lingxi, I was afraid that this palace banquet would have to be held until the next day.

In fact, the eighth day of the first lunar month is not Lingxi's birthday, but May 20.

When Lingxi entered the palace, it was directly sent into the palace by the people of Uncle Cui's house, and when the palace asked the woman who sent her what month she was born, the woman only casually said that it was today, so Lingxi's birthday was set on the eighth day of the first month.

Lingxi did not have a birthday when she was a palace maid by the side of Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager, and it was not until the concubine entered the palace that the two sisters would sit down on May 20 every year and celebrate in private.

Thinking about the noble concubine, Lingxi's heart began to hurt again......

On the fifteenth day of the first month of the sixth year of Yong'an, the Empress Dowager of filial piety and the Empress Dowager passed a decree in the Fengyang Palace, appreciating a string of sandalwood prayer beads of the warbler concubine, a pair of jade bracelets, and a gold-inlaid Ruyi lock in the belly of the warbler concubine.

Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager left the palace for four years, and the first time she sent Yi Zhi back to the palace, she rewarded Lingxi. Although its objects are all ordinary objects, they have given the concubines in the harem a blow to the head.

They have always looked down on Lingxi as a craftsman who trained birds, but they forgot that Lingxi was once the most beloved palace maid of Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager. In the past few years, there have been countless pregnant concubines in the harem, but the one who has been rewarded by filial piety and the empress dowager is unique, and even Queen Zhu does not have this honor.

For a while, the harem concubines' eyes when they looked at Lingxi were no longer just jealousy and resentment, but also mixed with envy and fear.

After Lingxi received the order, he sat in the dormitory of the Lingyan Palace, holding the string of sandalwood prayer beads and crying.

This string of sandalwood prayer beads is the belongings of filial piety and the empress dowager, and has not left for more than 30 years. Now the Empress Dowager Xiaohe gave this Buddha bead to Lingxi, that is, to tell Lingxi that she did not blame Lingxi.

At the same time, he also told the harem concubines that although she was not in this harem, her eyes were not dazzling and her ears were not ringing. If the spirit rhino can give birth to the dragon heir in the womb safely, it will be fine, if not......

I'm afraid that then it will be the time for Xiao and the Empress Dowager to return to the palace.

Empress Zhu was very unhappy with Xiaohe's move by the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager Xiaohe ignored her, the master of the middle palace, which really made her angry.

Emperor Yong'an was silent after seeing Xiao and the Empress Dowager's edict.

The Cui clan is not as good as it used to be, and it doesn't pose any threat to him. But Xiao and the Empress Dowager are willing to intervene at this time, what is the intention.

In February of the sixth year of Yong'an, the dragon heir in the belly of the lingxi has been in May, and the dragon heir in the belly of Concubine Ren has also been in June. Emperor Yong'an and Empress Zhu exempted Lingxi and Concubine Ren from greeting each other in the morning and evening, and let them raise their babies in their palaces with peace of mind. At the same time, the stable woman and the nurse arranged by the Yeting Palace lived in their palace one after another, and they were ready at any time.

In addition to the imperial physician Shi Taiyi and the gynecology expert Liu Taiyi, the imperial doctor around Lingxi filled in another imperial physician. The three doctors took turns to treat Lingxi three times a day, fearing that something would happen to Lingxi and the fetus in her womb.

Compared to Lingxi, Concubine Ren's Jiyue Hall is much colder. Although the stable woman, the nurse, and the imperial doctor are no less than those in the Lingxi Palace, the concubines in the harem rarely go to her.

In March of the sixth year of Yong'an, the wind helped Yang Fu, and the spring flowers bloomed. Lingxi is too old to go for a walk in the imperial garden, and only holds the hand of lotus leaves and Qiaozhu to wander in the small garden in the Yongle Palace on weekdays.

During these days, Qingmei people who lived in Yongle Palace often went to the Lingyan Hall to greet Lingxi. Because he once humiliated Lingxi with the deceased beauty, he was timid every time he went to the Lingyan Palace, so he left after asking for peace. And the Duo Meiren who lives with her has always been sick, and occasionally when she goes to the Lingyan Hall to ask Lingxi for peace, she is also unwilling.

On March 16 of the sixth year of Yong'an, there was a drizzle in the sky, and Lingxi was sitting in the hall embroidering a belly pocket for the child in the womb, Xiao Dezi suddenly walked in and whispered to Lingxi, "Niangniang, Renfei Niangniang is red......"

The tip of the needle was deflected, and the embroidery needle pierced into the white and tender fingers, and a touch of red bloomed a small flower in the snow-white satin. That's right, today's three watches, the third one will be sent later~
