The palace is full of red lanterns, and the scenery is charming.

The harem is no exception.

When he arrived at the Jiaofang Hall where the jade concubine lived, Zixi quietly looked at the two lanterns hanging outside, compared to the bustle of the front hall, it was obviously much more deserted here.

The princess of the county said to the waiter who was waiting outside: "The girl came to check the pulse of the jade concubine, and asked her father-in-law to pass it on." ”

The chamberlain nodded, and turned into the inner sanctum.

After a while, a pretty maid came out of the hall and said respectfully: "The jade concubine invites the girl and the princess to enter." ”

Zixi retracted his gaze and said to the princess of the county: "Princess first, please." ”

"It's you who sees Concubine Yu, what should I ask first?" The princess smiled, "Let's go in together." ”

Zixi nodded.

The two entered the temple together.

The jade concubine was lying on her side on the chaise longue in the inner hall, wearing only a loose and comfortable red silk bedgown, staring at the snow outside the window.

She has a low rank, and the princess of the county does not have to salute when she sees her.

And Zixi has never been short in front of the emperor and empress, how can she take it in front of a mere concubine at this time?

Hearing the footsteps, she turned her head, her eyes fell on Zixi's face, and she smiled gently: "Miss Zi." ”

Zixi's head; "Jade Concubine Niangniang."

For her lack of salute, Concubine Yu didn't seem to feel anything.

His eyes turned slightly, and his gaze fixed on the princess of the county for a moment: "The princess is also here." ”

The voice is soft and indifferent, and I can't hear any special emotions.

The princess nodded: "The emperor asked me to accompany the girl over, but the mother is unwell?" ”

Concubine Yu's expression paused slightly, her brows furrowed undetectably, and a light smile bloomed on her lips: "It's just a little dizzy and nauseous, and I can't eat dinner." It just so happened that tonight was Chinese New Year's Eve, and when I heard that the girl had entered the palace, I wanted to find the girl to learn something. ”

As he spoke, he asked Zixi to cut her pulse.

This jade concubine didn't have any discomfort at all, Zixi didn't need to cut her pulse to know how healthy she was, but since she wanted to act, she would accompany her to act.

"Princess, please be seated." Concubine Yu's tone was always gentle, but there was a faint feeling of loneliness, "I have been in the palace for three years, and I have been favored by the emperor a lot, but my stomach has never moved, do you know what the reason is?" ”

Zixi cut the pulse and said lightly: "Niangniang is in good health, maybe the child's fate has not arrived." ”

Haven't come yet?

Concubine Yu frowned slightly, and couldn't help pursing her lips.

The most important part of the plan was to point to this child, but there was no movement for three years...... Now that a sentence of fate has not arrived, can she settle her heart?

Children are the most important bargaining chips.

She won the favor of the emperor with enough beauty, and she also had her own special means to make the emperor's heart biased towards her. In the past three years, Chu Huan has come to her palace the most, but she has not had children for a long time.

She thought that she had a problem with her health, and secretly asked the Imperial Doctor several times to cut her pulse, and the answer she got was that she was in normal health and had no hidden disease.

She doesn't believe in evil, if she is really normal, why has she been childless for so long?

So tonight, taking advantage of the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet, I wanted Zixi, a female doctor with superb medical skills, to take a look, but I didn't expect to get the same answer.

"Mother, don't worry." Seeing her gloomy expression, the princess of the county couldn't help but speak softly, "The emperor is still young, and the mother is not very old, so there will be many opportunities in the future, so don't rush for a while." ”。

The princess's words were purely comforting on the scene, and had no substantive meaning.
