Everyone looked at him, and he stroked his beard. "There are some medicinal herbs added here, but they are all warm and replenished, and the amount is very small, ordinary people can't taste or smell, these medicinal herbs can calm the mind and not make the wild cat crazy."

Xia Xiying exhaled and whispered, "This old immortal is panting when he speaks, and he is in a hurry to die." ”

I was pleased to see that Concubine De's face changed from astonished white to angry blue, and finally had to return to her dignified normal appearance.

"The palace knew that the dream concubine was in labor, and she was afraid that the wild cats around her would disturb her, so she took her to the palace to appease, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue for the unborn little prince. But I never thought that it would be used by someone with a heart to make an article. I slowed down my speech, and saw Li Ming's helpless expression without a trace.

Concubine De's chest rose and fell, and she was forcibly suppressing the resentment in her heart.

She pointed to the palace maid on the ground and said, "What's the matter?" Didn't you see it with your own eyes? ”

The palace maid Nuo Nuo said: "The slave maid saw it with her own eyes, those medicines are obviously inside, and this bowl has definitely been transferred!" ”

"Oh? See it with your own eyes? "I walked up to her and picked her chin with my dancôme-stained index finger, causing her to shiver." Didn't you just say that I just asked you to put food in a bowl and find a wild cat, and I don't know anything else? Now that we have seen it with our own eyes, are these two sentences contradictory? ”

She stammered and opened her mouth, looking helplessly at Concubine De, who bit her lip and turned her head away from her.

The nail of her index finger was embedded in the little girl's chin, and she took a painful breath of cold air.

On fair skin, the red marks on the nails are particularly noticeable.

"Tell me, how many cats did I let you find?" I asked her with a smile, my voice cold to the extreme.

She couldn't help but fall back and sit on the ground. "Four, four ......"

"And how many more are pregnant?"

She was silent.

I turned to Concubine De and asked, "I wonder if the cat that collided with Concubine Meng was caught?" What color and physique? ”

Concubine De said impatiently: "Beat to death with a stick, where are there so many details in this palace." ”

"If you don't know the details, come to investigate the person, is it too negligent to be the concubine Niangniang who assists the queen in managing the six palaces?"

She was speechless, and could only look back and forth at me with her peripheral vision.

Xia Xiying instructed her subordinates to bring wild cats, a pregnant cat, a male cat, and a full moon kitten.

I asked my servant to put the cat in the basket and show it to Concubine De, who seemed to dislike the animals and retreated again and again.

I smiled and picked up one, and it purred obediently in my arms.

The soft fur ran through my hands, and to be honest, I liked these animals a lot.

"You don't fool this palace with these, do you think it's innocent to hold a few cats casually? Amusing! ”

I nodded, not saying more.

"If I said it, would it be a fool?"

A thick but majestic voice came, and looking back, it was Concubine Zhang with a serious expression.

As a concubine, she is naturally a respected old man in the harem, not to mention, it is said that she has always been good friends with the queen mother, so she was spared the pain of guarding the soul of the first emperor for half her life.

Sure enough, Concubine De was shocked, made a palace ceremony, and asked for peace in a proper manner.

Everyone present would not have thought of the appearance of Concubine Zhang, she has always lived in a simple and lonely life, but she did not dare to have palace people snub her.

She's still a little disgusted with these animals, so she's a little bit away from me.

"These cats, I was going to kill and throw them away, Concubine Jin is kind and asked me for it, Concubine De still has any doubts?"

"The concubine is just acting impartially, please bear with me if I disturb the concubine." There was some reluctance in her words.

"Mother, mother!" The maid beside Concubine De ran over panting and said, "It's born, the dream concubine is born!" It's a little prince, mother and son are safe! ”

The surroundings seemed to explode, chattering about the first prince of the new emperor.

I really didn't expect that Meng Concubine seemed ordinary and weak, but she was the most powerful character, giving birth to this child in a cannibalistic harem, but this is only the first step.

"It's a joy for all." Concubine De laughed dryly, "Today's matter is indeed reckless in this palace, I hope the concubine doesn't mind." ”

"If you care, it's chaotic, I understand my sister's feelings." I put the cat back in the basket and my eyes fell on the little maid who was kneeling on the ground. "However, there are people in my palace who are not in harmony, and I hope that my sister can hand her over to me to deal with."

The little palace maid's eyes widened, and she pounced on Concubine De in horror: "Niangniang save me, I don't know anything......"

Concubine De was in a dilemma, turned her head to me and said: "Since my sister is kind, let her live, God has the virtue of a good life, besides, the little prince was born today, and it is not appropriate to see blood." ”

I didn't speak, just watched them quietly.

Concubine De felt embarrassed and asked, "Sister?" ”

"Sister, don't worry."

Only then did she turn around and leave, and the palace maid saw that there was no play in asking for help, and pulled the corner of my clothes again, crying: "The concubine and the maid spare her life, the slave and the maid are confused, the slave and the maid know that it is wrong, and beg the maid to give the slave and the maid a way out." ”

My dress was crumpled by her, and the embroidery was folded into a ball.

"Don't worry, this palace promised my sister that she wouldn't see blood and would spare your life."

She breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.

"Xia Xiying, go find two people, watch and clean up, don't see blood, keep her life, this palace knows that you have a lot of ways." It just so happened that the maid brought the afternoon black tea, added some white sugar, light and sweet, I took a shallow taste, and saw her white face.

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, there should be more bright days, no matter how bad it is, she will stay up until she is twenty-five years old and leave the palace to get married, but unfortunately, she has to choose this path. It's like a gamble, if you lose, you have to pay the corresponding price.

The people in Jinyun Palace generally didn't dare to speak, and stood silently, hanging their heads and closing their eyes, for fear that the next one would be themselves.

"Xia Hua, prepare some things, come with me to see the dream concubine."

"Yes."

The birth of the little prince is undoubtedly the biggest joy in the palace, some people are happy and some are sad, I am afraid that there will be more people who are sad.

I changed the goose-yellow shirt, and the bright colors would rob the owner of the brilliance. So I chose eggplant purple, I remember that when I was a palace maid in the past, I had a skirt of this color, with a white narrow sleeve jacket, beautiful and ordinary.

I went to the mountains in that dress and met the fortune teller and the nurse of Beiyu Jinchen.

Looking back now, it was a long time ago.

It's been so long that I can't remember my mood at that time, and I can't remember my face at that time.

The vermilion palace wall is bright and dull, and the slightly wet palace brick path exudes a unique ancient atmosphere.

I regained my proper smile, and the arc was just right.

The road is still long, long.
