The night shrouded the entire palace, and the bright and soft moonlight sprinkled the courtyard. In Yonghe Palace, the wind is quiet, the incense burner is lingering with white cigarettes, and a bearded imperial doctor strokes his thick beard, squinting his eyes slightly, and is checking the pulse. Xingzhen held her slender hand, and her eyes looked at the imperial doctor intently.

After a long time, the imperial doctor withdrew his hand, and Xingzhen hurriedly asked, "What, how?" ”

"Little Lord, this is a happy pulse! Congratulations to the little concubine! ”

"Hah! It's Ximai, congratulations to Ah Yi! ”

Suddenly, Xingzhen was even happier than Yi. Yi couldn't help but smile and said, "Obviously I'm happy, why are you even happier than me?" ”

"Hmm...... Because we both have a heart! ”

"It's not like that, if you have a soul!"

"Well, I'll be happy to see you, and I'll be happy; If you are happy, and if you have happy events, I will be happy. ”

Yi knew that Xingzhen was sincere to her, leaned on Xingzhen, and said, "Thank you." ”

"Anyway, now that you're pregnant with the dragon seed, it's inconvenient to move, what about me,......" Xingzhen put her arms around Yi's arm, "During your pregnancy, start taking care of your diet!" ”

Jingyang Palace.

"What? Is Concubine Li pregnant with a dragon? Ah Mei looked at Zhu Shao with a shocked expression.

"Back to Niangniang, the slave maid personally went to Yonghe Palace to inquire and confirmed that it was correct." Zhu Shao nodded.

"Tsk, these days I have focused on dealing with Concubine Yi, but I have neglected Concubine Li." Ah Mei bit her lip, "She has a good relationship with Concubine Li, and because of this, I didn't deal with Concubine Li." But now that Concubine Li is pregnant with the dragon species, the battle for the harem and the seizure of the throne are about to really start to kick off. ”

Zhongcui Palace.

"Concubine Li is pregnant with a dragon seed?" Giun took off a golden hairpin and looked at Dai Huan.

Dai Huan nodded and said, "Yes." Mother, the slave dared to ask, what do you think about this? ”

Ji Wu looked at the person in the bronze mirror and said, "That's good, after all, my emperor has been on the throne for almost five or six years, and it is also a happy event to have an heir in the harem." Presumably, the concubine was also happy. By the way, Dai Huan, you pass on the decree of the palace, Concubine Li is pregnant with a dragon, you need to take care of your body, so that during her period, you don't need to ask the palace for peace. ”

"Yes." Dai Huan bowed.

The queen seems to be considerate of the concubine, so that she doesn't have to ask for peace. But in fact, it is the so-called "tree big wind", hearing this news, there will be a lot of red-eyed people in the harem, and now, Concubine Li is in big trouble.

Gyeongin Palace.

"Noble Mei, don't come unharmed." Ah Sujie poured a pot of bamboo leaves overflowing with a faint fragrance into a blue and white tall teacup and asked.

"Ah, I have to say, this Jingren Palace is spacious."

The title of Concubine Wan was awarded the title last time Ah Su Ji and Yu Huan built a snowman in the court. But what puzzled Ah Sujie was that the emperor only promoted her, but not Jinhuan'er.

For this reason, Ah Sujie is even more inexplicably resistant to the Heart Cultivation Hall (of course, this refers to inner resistance).

Hearing Ah Mei call her a concubine, Ah Sujie raised her delicate eyebrows.

Ah Mei tasted the bamboo leaf green, and in the hazy tea fragrance, Ah Mei slightly opened her lips and said, "Wan Concubine, have you heard that Concubine Li is pregnant with a dragon?" ”

"I think I've heard of it."

"Concubine Li is pregnant with a dragon seed and has an heir for my emperor, which is gratifying."

"Mei Guiren, this is Jingren Palace, not Yonghe Palace, if you want to go to congratulate, please go to Yonghe Palace."

"That's really a coincidence, just now the concubine went to Yonghe Palace to congratulate him, and it just so happened that I also saw Rong Chang going to congratulate."

Hearing the words "Rong Chang is here", Ah Sujie's face was a little wrong, she paused, straightened her face, and said: "Noble Mei, we are all sisters, and we all serve the Son of Heaven together. ”

"Yes, we are all sisters, so naturally we have to help each other."

Ah Sujie glanced at Ah Mei. Suddenly felt that Ah Mei's words were wrong, Rong Chang was going to congratulate? According to Ah Su'an's understanding, Huan'er is by no means such a flattering person who goes to someone's palace when she is pregnant with a dragon seed. Ah Mei looked at Ah Su, seemed to take out a handful of hairpins unintentionally, and said: "The concubine and Rong Changzai saw each other, and they shushed each other for a while, Rong Changzai was also generous, and gave such a golden hairpin when they met for the first time." Tsk, this hairpin is also beautiful, and there is a peace knot on it. ”

Ah Sujie looked at the peace knot, the peace knot is very small, it is made of thin thread, and it looks very good when hung on the hairpin.

Ah Mei stroked the peace knot and said, "This peace knot can be called the finishing touch of this hairpin." ”

Do you have a safe knot...... It feels like something else.

Ah Mei said: "It's not too early, and the concubine will retire first." I have to say hello to the queen mother. ”

"Oh, you go slowly."

Zhongcui Palace.

The cloisonné enamel openwork dome incense burner is surrounded by intoxicating agarwood. All the women knelt on the ground to stroke their sideburns and said, "The concubine asks the queen to say goodbye." ”

"Settle down, sit down."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Ah Zhi Xuanhu said: "I don't know if you know, one of the sisters is pregnant with the dragon seed?" ”

Ah Su looked at Ah Zhi Huohu.

Giun smiled slightly, tried the teacup, and said, "It's Concubine Li, right?" Concubine Li is pregnant with the dragon seed, the imperial concubines are very happy, Li Concubine is pregnant with the dragon species, she should pay attention to her body, and the palace will let her be exempted from asking for peace during her period. ”

Ah Zhi Xuanhu said in a strange manner: "It is said that this concubine is pregnant with the first dragon species of my emperor, and it is also the first heir of my emperor after he ascended the throne. ”

The nobleman listened attentively and quietly.

Hearing Ah Zhi Xuanhu's strange and ugly tone, Xingzhen took a sip of tea, as if unintentionally: "My emperor's first heir, the emperor must be very important." ”

Isn't Concubine Yi warning against the idea of beating the dragon seed in Concubine Li's belly?

The noble man silently broke out in a cold sweat and took a sip of tea. The beautiful concubine said: "My emperor values the imperial heir, presumably, he will often go to Yonghe Palace to see the concubine." ”

Ah Zhi Xuanhu glanced at the concubine hatefully, and said: "Concubine Li is pregnant, her body is inconvenient, my emperor went to Yonghe Palace to promise to take the opportunity to seduce my emperor, right?" ”

Ming promised to want to pull the hatred value of the women for Li Concubine again, but he didn't want to say this through Ah Zhi Xuanhu, but the women increased the hatred value for her. But in the face of a concubine three levels higher than her, it's really hard to say anything. The scorching eyes of all the women were staring at her, it was not good to look directly at Ah Zhi Xuanhu's hateful gaze towards her, she had a feeling that her whole body was naked and bubbling white, she felt that her face was hotter than a fever, but she was helpless and anxious and didn't know how to refute. At this time, I only heard a beaming voice: "Yi Guiren, everyone serves the Son of Heaven together, and they are all the concubines of our emperor, why do you talk about the word 'seduction'?" ”

When Rong Chang said this, he deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of "noble". Ah Zhi Xuanhu remembered the black history of being demoted for inexplicable reasons, and glared at Yan Huan angrily.

Seduce...... Giun looked at Mei.

Seeing that the speaker was Rong Chang, Ah Zhi Xuanhu sneered and despised Lu Xuanhuan, and was about to say something, when suddenly, Ah Su said: "The concubine is just thinking about it, although everyone has a rank, but everyone serves the king together, and they are all sisters." Under the management of the virtuous queen, there will be no intrigue in the harem. ”

Ji Wun glared at Ah Su, don't you have to bring everything to the palace, okay! Virtuous...... At this moment, if anyone dares to refute Ah Suji's words, then this person is tantamount to saying that the queen is not virtuous, so who has the courage to contradict the queen.......

Ah Su smiled at Yu Xuan. The nobleman smiled flatteringly: "What Concubine Wan said is true." ”

Ming promised and smiled: "Sisters, everything is reasonable. ”

The nobleman raised his eyebrows and looked at Ming agreed. This promise obviously makes more sense than her...... This promise is more reasonable than what the nobleman said, but it's a pity that whether it's a clear promise or a nobleman, it will not be too prominent in the harem (whether it is by rank or what) otherwise, this promise is to be targeted by the public.

Ah Mei said in her heart: "These people are still boring, and it is not a fatal word to come and go." However, last time, Concubine Yun's life was still big, the birthday banquet was like that, and the emperor didn't even demote, probably because of the fact that Concubine Yi, Concubine Wan, and Rong Chang were in the round. Although Yun Concubine was finally solved by the palace anyway. Tsk, by the way, when Rong Chang was saying 'seduce' just now, that person seemed to look at me, huh...... Rong Chang is here, should you pay attention? ”

Xingzhen looked at Ming Promise and Zhu Guiren, and said in her heart: "These two people are from Yonghe Palace, just in Ah Yi's palace, there seems to be a bit of a mustard between these two people, will it affect Ah Yi?" But it seems that there is no need to worry, after all, it is estimated that no one in this world dares to affect Ah Yi. ”

Giun said: "It's not early, let's disperse first." ”

The concubines saluted and said, "The concubines are retired." “

Seeing Xingzhen coming out of Zhongcui Palace, Pipa greeted her with a cold-colored oil-paper umbrella that shaded the sun, and Pipa said, "Is Miss going to Yonghe Palace?" “

"Yes. Pipa, could you please help me see which road is closer to Yonghe Palace? “

"Sister Yi is going to Yonghe Palace?"

Xingzhen looked at it, it was Ming who agreed, and suddenly remembered that Ming promised to live in Yonghe Palace, and said, "Yes." “

Ming promised to come over with an oil-paper umbrella, and said with a smile: "Sister Yi is better to be with the concubine." The concubine also lives in Yonghe Palace, and knows which road is close, so that she can lead the way for Sister Yi's sister. “

"So, the trouble is clearly agreed."

Ming promised to say as he walked: "Sister Yi is going to visit Concubine Li?" “

The Pipa Gang holds an oil-paper umbrella. Xingzhen said: "Yes." Li Concubine and promised to live in the same palace, during Li Concubine's pregnancy, there were many inconveniences, and it was troublesome to promise to take care of it. “

"It's nature. After all, Concubine Li can be said to be the little master of the concubine. Concubine Li's pregnancy dragon seed, Sister Yi Concubine seems to be very concerned. “

"Well, Concubine Li has a deep friendship with the palace, and Concubine Li is pregnant with the emperor's heir, so I want to ask more."

"In the deep palace, it is really rare that the friendship between Sister Yi and Concubine Li can be so deep."

Gyeongin Palace.

Peace of mind......

Ah Su Ji repeatedly rubbed the hairpin tied with the peace knot, and the Mei nobles left it that day, and Ah Su Ji always felt that this hairpin tied with a peace knot meant something else. I thought about it, but I still don't have a clue.

Odd...... I didn't think about things and investigations that I didn't have a clue about before, but this time I ..... Could it be because I got in touch with Huan'er?

"Aunt Yan!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Ah Sujie smiled slightly and said, "Huan'er." “

"I just went to change my clothes, and I was delayed for a while, you see, how is it?"

Ah Su looked at it. I saw that Yu Huanhuan was dressed in a piping light gauze drape, a pale cheongsam set off a beautiful body, a gorgeous step swing earring, and a beaded flower tassel showing her beauty. Ah Sujie was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "What's the matter?" “

”...... Pretty. “

"I don't believe it's that simple."

”...... I don't know much about words, so I don't know how to describe them. “

"I don't believe that either."

Yu Xuanhuan hugged Ah Sujie's arm and said, "You are not very good at talking, so you can't use some high-end words to evaluate it." “

Ah Sujie suddenly thought of something, and said, "Cough, Huan'er, talk to you about something serious." “

"What's the matter?"

Ah Sujie handed the hairpin tied with a peace knot to the eyes of Yu Xuanhuan, and said, "Is this your hairpin?" ”

Yan Xuanhuan looked at it carefully and said, "Yes, then again, how can you have the hairpin I gave to Mei Guiren?" ”

Ah Sujie looked at Yu Xuanhuan and said, "When did you give it to Mei Guiren?" ”

"Well, I want to think about it...... Ah, I remember, it was yesterday when I passed by Yonghe Palace and met Mei Guiren. ”

"Passing by? So what were you going to do? ”

"I was just going for a walk, but I ended up walking past Yonghe Palace."

"Well, then, I met Mei Guiren, chatted a few words, and gave this hairpin to Mei Guiren?"

"Oh, Lady Mei also gave me a sachet, so I naturally want to give something back."

"Sachet? Show me. ”

"Oh, give." Yu Xuanhuan handed the sachet to Ah Sujie, and Ah Sujie looked at it, only to see that the sachet was embroidered with a small poem, which was embroidered in Manchu:

The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost.

The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side.

Ah Sujie pinched the sachet and looked back and forth, the sachet was also tied with a peace knot, sniffed with her nose, the spice of the sachet was non-toxic horse tooth nitrate. It's a non-toxic horse tooth nitrate, so at least it won't hurt Huan'er first..... Ah Sujie looked at Yan Xuanhuan and said, "Huan'er, borrow this sachet for me first, okay?" “

"Ah, of course."

Mei Guiren's mind is definitely not simple, and he must take this thing to Jingyang Palace.

Yonghe Palace.

Xingzhen wiped her mouth with a gauze and smiled, "Well, you guys should make a meal." “

The palace maids in Tsing Yi who were holding the end plate bent down and hurriedly said, "Yes." “

Yi sat on the bed and said, "Sister doesn't have to be like this, what if a meal is really poisonous?" “

"Well, you are the heir of the emperor in your belly, if you are really a son and use a poisonous diet, you will lose a noble son, and you will lose two lives! I don't care, after all, I can testify with a poisonous diet, and it's good that the emperor is more cautious about this. “

"Didn't my diet have been tested by the Imperial Doctor?"

When the imperial doctors on the side heard this, they hurriedly said with a smile on their faces: "That is, the ministers are willing to serve the little master of Concubine Li." “

Xingzhen glanced at the imperial doctors, these imperial doctors were bought by the six palaces of the east and west, and they didn't know which little master! Xiang Yi smiled slightly, stepped forward, and carefully helped Yi down to the rosewood table where he was eating, the palace maids in Tsing Yi were still making meals, sitting opposite and said, "This day's meal is rich." By the way, Ah Yi, I heard that there are 'sour and spicy girls' among the people, if you eat more sour food, maybe you will give birth to a noble son! “

A imperial doctor made a thousand calls and said, "Qi Concubine Xiaomaster, although the sour and spicy girl is a folk rumor, it will have some basis more or less. ”

The pipa on the side gently shook the fan, and suddenly felt that the action of the imperial doctor beating a thousand was inexplicably familiar.

Yi looked at the meals on the table, most of the meals on the table were sour bamboo shoots, hot and sour fish, etc., and even the desserts were yogurt. Yi smiled and said: "Most of the meals are sour, it seems that my emperor values it very much." “

The eunuch on the side said fairly: "That's right, little master Li, your meal The imperial concubine personally inquired about." “

Xingzhen glanced at the meals on the table again, confirmed that the diet was correct, and nodded with satisfaction, suddenly, the corner of her eyes unintentionally saw the maid of the first palace changing the spices, and suddenly remembered something, but looked at the meals on the table, pouted, and had to smile helplessly: "Well, you eat first." “

"Okay."

Shouchang Palace.

Warm breeze passes, a pool of crushed pings, wisps of fragrance, a huge lotus like a brush dotted among the pieces of blue lotus leaves. Xingzhen shook the fan painted with orchids, leaned against the window, the pipa gently closed the door, Xingzhen stepped forward silently, and whispered: "How is it?" ”

Pipa took out a small box from his sleeve, nodded, and whispered: "Well, the spices in the incense burner have been replaced, and the original spices in the incense burner are in the box." ”

"Hmm." Xingzhen patted Pipa's shoulder appreciatively, she trusted Pipa's ability to do things. Pipa said: "Miss is back to the palace, aren't you worried about Concubine Li's side?" “

"I explained to Xiaohuan and said that if Concubine Li has anything, she will come to Shouchang Palace immediately to report to me." As she spoke, Xingzhen handed a small box to the pipa and said, "That's right, then, next, you will also send the contents of this box to the Tai Hospital for verification, it's hard work." ”

Pipa was about to get up and go to the Tai Hospital, when suddenly, Xingzhen said, "Wait." ”

"What do you command?"

"It's a big day outside, you can go over with an oil-paper umbrella." As she spoke, Xingzhen handed Pipa a cold-colored oil-paper umbrella, "Pay attention to safety." ”

Pipa was stunned for a moment, but subconsciously immediately took the oil-paper umbrella and said, "Yes!" Thank you, Miss. ”

Looking at the figure of the pipa in the distance, Xingzhen shook the fan and sat on the mat. Mama Yuan held a plate with a porcelain bowl of sour plum soup on it, and said, "Little master, let's drink some sour plum soup first to cool off." ”

Xingzhen took the sour plum soup with a smile and said, "Thank you." He took a sip and said, "By the way, please also ask Mama to prepare another bowl of sour plum soup, it's troublesome." ”

"Yes, the old body will go and prepare."

Looking at the sour plum soup in the porcelain bowl, I suddenly remembered that I was in Yonghe Palace. If you had questioned the incense burner at the time, it would have affected your appetite for food. When Yi finished eating, she asked Yi to take a look at the incense burner, and Xiao Huan smiled: "Concubine Yi is just concerned about the little master." ”

"That's natural." As soon as the pipa knew that it was time to start changing the spices, she was sensitive and immediately changed it, and after the change, she gestured here, Xingzhen smiled, the pipa is beautiful! Said to Yi: "Then I'll go first, and I'll go to bed without disturbing you." “

"Well, you have to rest earlier, too."

Before leaving, Xingzhen did not forget to remind Xiaohuan: "You must take care of your little master." “

"The slave knows!"

Too Hospital.

Watching the Imperial Physician holding the diorama and analyzing the composition of the spices, I don't know how long it took, the Imperial Physician finally put down the diorama, and said on the pipa: "Dare to ask the Imperial Doctor, what is the result?" “

The imperial doctor said: "Pipa girl, your spice is made of smoked grass, smoked grass is also known as tonka, the main use is to dispel wind and treat headaches, it should be noted that smoked grass is not used by pregnant women." “

Pipa handed over the box containing the spices of Yonghe Palace, and said, "May I ask what are the ingredients of this box of spices?" “

The imperial doctor looked at it for a short time, obviously very familiar with this spice, and said: "The ingredient of this box of spices is musk, which has the effect of analgesic and swelling, but it is also forbidden for pregnant women. “

"Oh, yes, thank you. By the way, there are ......" Pipa took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, on which was written a medicine that the young lady asked her to ask for from the Tai Hospital, "please ask the doctor to get a few packets of bird's head incense." “

"Oh, okay, wait a minute."

Looking at the box of pregnancy-free tonka, the pipa couldn't help but let out a few beads of cold sweat the size of beans. In this harem, the mother is more expensive than the child, and the responsibility of the concubine is to give birth to the imperial heir and spread the branches for the royal family. However, there are people who ...... Dare to cause her young lady to be infertile! Hehe, as long as he dares to harm Miss, this person will definitely not have a good time!

"Pipa girl, finch head incense."

"Okay, thank you." After thanking the imperial doctor, Pipa put a few pieces of silver on the wooden cabinet in front of the imperial doctor, and when she walked in the direction of Shouchang Palace with the spices, suddenly, a large basket containing medicinal herbs moved quickly in her direction, "Bang! With a bang, the dried medicinal herbs with a faint fragrance fell to the ground.

"Hmm......"

"Well, hey, this girl, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry." A man wearing a flower feather apologized and helped the pipa up, and when the pipa inadvertently looked up, a familiar and handsome face came into view.

"Goh?"

In the warm sun, the dried herbs are exuding a faint fragrance.
