As the days passed, the morning light shone into the bookcase from the windowsill, and before I could say hello, I was dragged away by the evening breeze.

Before sunset, a sturdy watermelon insect climbed up the window, looked left and right, and then found the whereabouts of his child in the gap in the window. When the young watermelon worm saw his angry mother, he immediately shrank into a round bean, and after a long stalemate, he still followed his mother home.

Taking advantage of the last rays of twilight in the setting sun, the mother watermelon worm and her group of naughty cubs crawled in front of Wanying.

Wanying's empty eyes followed this group of watermelon insects all the way, but in the gap between the sunset and twilight, she saw Yun Niang coming over with a decent palace maid.

The palace maid described her figure and dress, like the Yilan girl in the palace of Meng Guifei.

Yun Niang saw Wanying from the window, leaning against the twilight at her fingertips, and said softly: "Miss, this is the Yilan girl of Huaqing Palace." ”

Yilan held a red lacquer food box in her hand, opened the bamboo curtain with her own hands, and let Yun Niang enter the house and come in herself.

"Shi Niangniang, this is what our master sent to Niangniang."

Yilan just bowed slightly, then placed the food box on the shabby table, opened the lid, and placed the dishes inside on the table.

With a faint gaze, Wan Ying glanced at the dishes on the table, and there were four delicate side dishes in the four colored plates that had become kilns.

Sixi meatballs, pickled milk melon, braised chicken slices with green onions, braised pork trotters.

Wanying's heart warmed, and she said comfortingly: "Go back and thank your mother for me." ”

Yilan smiled warmly, packed up the food box, then bowed again, and replied: "Shi Niangniang, there is still work in the Huaqing Palace, Yilan will go first." ”

The twilight poured down completely, and there was nothing in the dimly lit room except the sound of the wind in all directions.

Wanying got up, closed the window, and said softly: "Concubine Meng's kindness, let's eat at dusk." ”

In the dark room, I only heard Yun Niang's voice say: "Niangniang, Meng Guifei was already Meng Zhaorong yesterday." ”

A sound of wind of unknown origin tried to squeeze through the crack in the window and gently slapped on Wanying's face.

"After Meng Zhaorong is a saint, he is an old man in the palace, and he deserves the position of Zhaorong."

"We have never had anything to do with Zhaorong, why did we remember to send so many dishes today?"

In the dark, Wanying said with great emotion: "I was originally worried about Cheng'er, but now I don't have to worry about it. ”

"Miss, the Meng family has no children and no favors, and with a mature child, it can be regarded as a complete merit."

Yun Niang's words were very obscure, and Wanying effortlessly listened to the deep meaning of the words.

Wan Ying got up and took out the reluctant oil lamp, and carefully lit it, and the dim wall of the house immediately reflected Wan Ying's outline.

"Treat it as your own."

Wanying put the oil lamp on the table, and in the flickering light, she said these four words ethereally.

Yun Niang looked at Wanying and asked puzzledly: "Miss and Meng Zhaorong don't know each other, how do you know that he will treat us Cheng'er as his own?" ”

"Braised lion's head, pickled milk melon, braised chicken slices with green onions, braised pig's trotters. Isn't it just your own? ”

"I can solve the first three dishes, I really can't guess the meaning of this braised pork trotters?"

"This is the benefit of Miss Meng, the pig's feet are tied with a rope, which is the origin of the hieroglyph '豖'. Taken together, these four dishes mean 'treat as your own'. ”

"No one remembers the icing on the cake, and the friendship in the snow is true." Yun Niang took out a cotton handkerchief, wiped a pair of wooden chopsticks, and put them in Wanying's hand.

Wanying picked up the chopsticks, took a piece of chicken slices, and put it in her mouth. The fragrant glutinous chicken instantly turned into two lines of tears on the tip of the tongue, rushed into the eyes, and rushed down.

"Now that I am so down, Meng can still treat each other with courtesy, and I will never forget this affection in my life."

"Miss, these days of coarse tea and light rice, I see that you have never had much appetite, so I will eat two bites today."

Wan Ying nodded, added a few more pieces of milk melon and put it in her mouth, chewed it slowly and swallowed it into her stomach, stared at Yun Niang and said, "I can't eat it because the food is rough." ”

Yun Niang suddenly understood Wanying's words, put down the chopsticks in her hand and asked, "Miss won't be?" ”

Wan Ying blinked her eyes and said firmly: "It's about true, the monthly letter hasn't arrived for two months. ”

Yun Niang almost jumped up with joy, took Wanying's hand and said, "I thought we were going to stay here for a year and a half, it seems that it won't be long before the dilemma in front of us will be solved." ”

Wanying swept Yun Niang's hand, stood in the halo of lights, and said categorically: "If I want to solve it, we won't come to this point, the child can only solve the temporary predicament, and the emperor's heart knot has to be figured out by himself after all." ”

"Niangniang, let's live here, coarse tea and light rice, it's useless to have the child in the belly, Niangniang is angry with the emperor, and she can't make the child in the belly suffer, right?"

Wanying laughed a few stupidly, turned around and said: "When I was pregnant with Zhi'er and Cheng'er, we couldn't eat for a few days and nights, and it was really bitter at that time, and my suffering was all for the emperor, does he know?" ”

Yun Niang no longer persuaded, compared to the previous suffering, I don't know how much better now. Although three meals a day are coarse tea and light rice, you can still fill your stomach after all.

I think that when I fled to Fujian, not only could I not eat, but even my life might be in danger.

"The suffering that both brothers can bear, and so can the younger sister."

Yun Niang couldn't help laughing and quipped: "It's only been two months, how do you know it's a princess?" ”

"I dreamed."

The two of them were finally temporarily relieved from the suffering and entanglement of the day, looked at each other, and invariably moved their gaze to Wanying's flat lower abdomen.

"Hey, this day is even more comfortable than in the palace in the fairy palace?"

The two were immersed in the pleasure of temporary relief, and they didn't want to, a sharp female voice broke the peace between the two.

This familiar voice, without turning around, Wanying can guess that it is a new precious concubine.

"Your concubine, you are far away, why are you here?"

Night owls come into the house and come with nothing. Yun Niang expected that the precious concubine would definitely not come to visit Wanying in good faith.

"The palace just saw Yilan in the Huaqing Palace, and it seems to be coming to Yongxiang."

Wan Ying bent down and blessed herself, pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Meng Zhaorong asked Yilan to send a few side dishes. ”

The precious concubine looked at the dishes on the table, and she didn't know the deep meaning in her head, but she just said in a thoughtful manner: "This Meng Zhaorong is only a promise on weekdays, but I didn't expect that he is still a master who is diligent behind his back. ”

Wanying knew that the precious concubine was arrogant, and in order not to cause trouble for Meng Guifei, she also groveled and said: "Niangniang is too worried, Shi's current situation, there is probably no need for Meng Zhaorong to be courteous, right?" It's just that Wanying looks pitiful, so I'm just giving some food! ”

Wanying's arrogant words were precious and refreshing.

The precious concubine looked at the down-and-out Wanying proudly, and an unparalleled sense of superiority arose. I just left the food behind.

"Mother, please take a seat."

Wanying wiped the stool she had just sat on with her sleeve, and then said respectfully: "Your concubine must have something to find her concubine when she comes over, I don't know what the so-called matter?" ”

The precious concubine looked at the former imperial concubine and bowed her head in front of her, and she was very proud in her heart.

Slender Jade held a golden silk handkerchief in her hand, wiped the tip of her arrogant nose, and then looked around, and said happily: "I almost forgot about business, just now the palace came from Huifang Palace, and the lady concubine had a difficult birth." ”

Wan Yingden was a little unsteady on her feet, and suddenly collapsed to the ground, and asked worriedly, "Haven't you always been fine?" How did it happen that all of a sudden it was difficult to give birth? ”

The precious concubine has nothing to do with herself, and said indifferently: "Concubine Shu didn't stop bleeding last month, and it is already the will of heaven that the imperial heir can be guaranteed to this day." ”

"Does it matter if you want a concubine?"

The precious concubine glanced at Wanying, and said with some discouragement: "Anyway, the emperor has been there for a day, and when the palace left, he hadn't been born yet." ”

Wanying collapsed on the ground, her hands supporting her body.

Wanrong's birth is really a disaster, I thought I had escaped the catastrophe of miscarriage, but I didn't expect that when I gave birth, it would be difficult to give birth.

"Niangniang, the concubine can't accompany you, the concubine wants to go to Huifang Palace to see the concubine."

The precious concubine smiled coldly and said: "Shi, you also feel sorry for the concubine, she is your sister after all, last time in Huifang Palace, because you and the emperor were in discord, the concubine who harmed the concubine was red, and now you go over, in case you quarrel with the emperor, will the concubine still live?" ”

After saying this, the precious concubine got up coldly, and when she moved to the door of the house gorgeously, she coldly threw down a sentence, "Now that the holy grace of this palace is strong, if you stay in Yongxiang obediently, this palace will protect your life without worry, if you dare to make waves, this palace will definitely not let you go." ”

"Niangniang, the concubine has been reduced to this point, I'm afraid I won't be able to make waves again in this life."

"It's good that you know your situation, this palace came here to warn you, now you are just a deposed concubine, and this palace will kill you as easily as stepping on an ant."

Wanying didn't make a sound, and the precious concubine suddenly turned around, and her smiling face was full of gloom and desolation.

"Don't think that this palace scares you, behind this palace is the entire Prince Yi Mansion, and you, with two children and a pair of sisters, are dragged down. As long as you dare to make a little crooked idea, this palace will definitely let you be torn to pieces! ”

Wanying looked at the precious concubine, leaned over and said, "Niang Niang Wanfu Jin'an." ”

The precious concubine turned around viciously, took her henchman Nainiang, and disappeared into the dilapidated house in Yongxiang.

The dinner that was originally light and breezy was stirred up and messed up.

"Yun Niang, hurry up and inquire about your sister's situation."

Yun Niang nodded and comforted: "Niangniang, it's not that I don't want to go, the Yilan girl just left with her front foot, and the precious concubine came over with her back foot." ”

"You mean, the precious concubine sent someone to spy on me?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

"I'm not worried about my sister."

"Concubine Niangniang, Ji Ren has her own natural appearance, she cherishes this baby so much, she will definitely do her best to give birth."

"I'm worried about my sister."
