In Concubine Wei's opinion, although her son is a little awkward and her daughter-in-law is stupid, she is now on the right track, and her well-maintained hands are estimated to be able to hug her little grandson soon, in addition to holding Buddha beads.

However, the more children and grandchildren, the better, since the son is not impossible, and he is willing to get close to the wives and concubines in the house, why not cast a wide net so that the branches and leaves can be spread?

So, Concubine Wei was as kind to Concubine Lin Fang, who still came to express her filial piety from time to time, and the small objects for rewarding were naturally indispensable, most of them were small things related to the meaning of giving birth, such as a treasure vase with a pomegranate flower pattern, a good material with a grape entwining branch pattern, and so on. The same is true for the Qin family, which means that they are treated equally.

Of course, these overtures will naturally not go beyond the genuine daughter-in-law Pei, and Concubine Wei feels that she has done a fair job. At the very least, it would be much better than when the Lin family first entered the mansion.

At that time, in order to try her best to win over the Lin family, the rewards sent from the palace at that time were basically divided equally between the Pei family and the Lin family. However, isn't this also forced by the situation, now that everything is fine, she and her son are no longer the unfavored and treadling mother and son of the deep palace back then, and they don't have to look at the eyes of one or two foreign ministers to live.

Although the Pei family is from a poor family, they have been running a family with a scholarly fragrance and have been prosperous for three or four generations, and the Pei family should be able to understand their hard work. Concubine Wei thought very confidently.

As a result, the result of her thinking was-

Qi Heng didn't see Pei Bao'er's smiling face for two days in a row, and he usually rubbed rice half-way, but now he directly said that he had no appetite and didn't want to eat.

"That's it, please take care of yourself today~"

For two days in a row, Qi Heng is not a fool, where can he not see that there is a problem.

Looking at the little maid under the corridor again, the little maid under the corridor had some probes to probe her brain, and Beiyan wanted to speak and stopped, Qi Heng directly asked someone to interrogate.

“…… It stands to reason that this should not be said by a slave. How the old lady behaves is something that the princess should not be easily criticized. It's just that the princess listened to the speculations of the people below, and she couldn't help but have some pimples in her heart. ”

Qi Heng's face sank like water, and he verified it with Song Yan again, his heart was full of helplessness.

How could he, the concubine, be so able to find trouble for him?

It is said that the road knows the horsepower and sees the hearts of the people over time. After three months of patience, the mode of getting along with him and Pei Baoer finally changed from "respecting each other like ice" to "respecting each other like guests", but it was still far from what he wanted. Finally, he has just cultivated a tacit understanding recently, and his eyes seemed to be a little loose when he looked at her on the night of Qixi Festival, and he was thinking about how to strike while the iron was hot, but the result was ......

He vaguely knew what she cared about, just like the focused eyes when she looked up at the galaxy that night, she must also be envious of the feelings of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Although they can only see each other once a year, and only for one day, and the rest of the days can only be separated by the Milky Way, they can still be consistent.

That kind of thing is precious, but it is the most scarce thing in the princely house.

On the day of Zhongyuan, because of the custom of worshipping ancestors, Qi Heng, as the eldest of the only remaining sons of the first emperor, and bearing the name of a regent, naturally wanted to enter the palace and take the little emperor and King Kang, King Ning and others to sacrifice in the Taining Palace.

The men from all families came, naturally including Qi Tan, Qi Xing and others. Under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, the little children also bowed and bowed in a decent manner, carrying with a majesty and solemnity that did not correspond to their age. From a distance, there is a group of small radishes with uneven heads.

The oldest in this generation is the young emperor Qi Yu, he is now the age of his grandfather, and he was born in the royal family, he is precocious and sensitive, there are too many different voices around him, but he has also trained a moody little face. Although this tender little face is still full of greenness, in the eyes of the clan and the officials, it has already begun to take shape. In particular, this young emperor was born well and is very similar to his father and ancestor.

There are those who are more thoughtful, and they have even begun to think about how to promote the return of government in a few years. It's just that the regent is not happy?

Someone else cast a cautious gaze on the only concubine of the regent's family, and looked at it carefully, but quickly shook his head in his heart. Because they found out that that Qi Tan actually took advantage of the ceremonial official's chanting and praise to secretly squeeze his eyebrows and make eye teases with his cousins, and his subordinates kept making small movements, and even their majesty was teased. This is really naughty enough, and it is not very successful, and it is not as dignified as the concubine Qi Xing on the side.

It must be that his mother's upbringing is not strict enough!

Thinking of this, the two elders couldn't help but cast dissatisfied and condemning eyes at Pei Zhongming, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Not to mention that Pei Shangshu is inexplicable, Pei Baoer is among the female dependents at this moment, and she is also very depressed.

First of all, there is the weather.

It is said that there is a fire in July, and the weather will slowly cool down in July, but this year's climate is a little abnormal, the south is dry, and even the summer heat in the north of the capital is not dissipated for a long time.

Secondly, there is the heavy dress on the body that is worn in several layers.

Pei Baoer originally wanted to cut corners and wear one or two layers less, but she was ruthlessly rejected by the maids. She had to reluctantly put it on, but it was like buying new shoes, she didn't feel it when she tried them on, and she felt uncomfortable after wearing them for a long time. Before entering the palace gate, she felt flustered and short of breath. At this time, waiting to salute in the side hall, the cumbersome etiquette and complicated procedures made this thing weighing at least a dozen catties look as heavy as Mount Tai, and she was almost out of breath.

Finally, I don't know what this pot should be given to the incense preferences of the ladies of the clan, or the new perfume recipe she laid out for Li Jixiang.

Since the last time, Li Erniang arrived in the capital with the new goods, and heard that all kinds of perfumes in the incense shop were selling very well, and they soon became popular among the women in the capital. And because the incense shop has launched perfumes at different prices, corresponding to the use of different formulas, it is suitable for all ages, and girls from all walks of life can buy suitable ones. And the popularity of this kind of thing, most of them are from the top to the bottom, the women of the powerful families do not have to worry about their livelihood, everything has the help of the underneath, so they have a lot of free time, more time to study and dress up, and they are the most sensitive to the trend in clothing, jewelry, rouge and gouache.

Look, it's only been half a month now, and the female dependents in this hall with the familiar smell of flowers and plants and perfumes have accounted for a small half! Those under the age of thirty-five, who have not yet been upgraded to grandmothers, almost all of them are used!

So Pei Baoer was surrounded by all kinds of floral fragrances.

Although the perfume smells good, it gathers all kinds of fragrances in a closed room, and there are also all kinds of sachets carried by those elderly and more stable ladies, and all kinds of fragrances are gathered together, so that Pei Baoer, whose nose is much more sensitive than ordinary people, almost faints.

It would be good if there was someone next to them to support them, but unfortunately on this kind of sacrificial occasion, although they have a noble status, they can only be the commander of the light pole, Pei Baoer has to bite her lip and try her best to support it.

"Sister-in-law Wang, it doesn't matter, right? If you feel unwell, why don't you go and rest first? Someone whispered behind her.

Pei Bao'er tilted her head slightly, it was Princess Ning.

She squeezed out a faint smile, shook her head slightly, and nodded at her again, signaling that she had accepted her kindness.

Now that the emperor is young, he has not yet married, and there is no queen of the main palace to take the lead, and the Qin family standing in the center of today's female dependents is naturally the former queen and the current queen mother. Pei Bao'er was standing on her right hand, so the secret communication between her and Princess Ning inevitably fell into the eyes of the Empress Dowager Qin.

She also pretended to care, "The princess regent has always been weak, don't force yourself, if there is a bad one, I'm afraid that the regent will be worried." ”

The Empress Dowager Qin naturally heard about a lot of personnel changes in the court, and it was naturally impossible for her not to know the news that Pei's brother was thrown to a remote place such as Nanyi. It's just that, because of the affection on her face, she can only pretend to care and ridicule Pei Baoer.

Unexpectedly, Pei Baoer is familiar with the inside story, and she is not very sensitive to all kinds of euphemistic verbal lawsuits, so she did not react to this insignificant provocation at all, and sincerely thanked the Empress Dowager Qin for her understanding, the undisguised gratitude, and the eyes with tears made the latter feel very tired.

Actually, Pei Baoer really didn't deliberately pretend to be so moved that she was about to cry to respond to her, nor was she born with superb acting skills, but because the Empress Dowager Qin's incense habit seems to be a little special, and she likes to go to a rich and fragrant path. It's okay to usually go to see the Empress Dowager Qin to say goodbye or something, after all, the relationship between the two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law on the surface is not close, so naturally there will be no scene of holding hands and saying homely words, and most of the two of them say some polite words that are not salty or light at a distance of more than two meters, and it doesn't matter.

But this time, the two of them stood very closely, almost next to each other, Pei Baoer was already smoked by the mixed fragrance in the confined space, and then the Empress Dowager Qin added fuel to the fire, and she was a little nauseous and wanted to vomit. But her intuition told her that she couldn't show it, otherwise, someone would definitely think that she was pregnant, or else, the Qin family would feel that they didn't respect her enough, and maybe they would use some tricks for her.

Although, under her extremely difficult endurance, she held back the vomiting feeling, and just like that, she held back the tears in her eyes.

Seeing this, Princess Ban'an, the loyal little follower of the Empress Dowager Qin, also leaned over and spoke softly.

"The delicate body of the third sister-in-law is only raised in our royal family. If you go to desolate places such as Nanyi and Ximo, you don't know what kind of ordeal you will suffer? ”

As soon as these words came out, the expression of the smart man next to him changed slightly, and a small drum played in his heart.

Speaking of which, Princess An's style of speaking and doing things is a bit straightforward, and she has been trained by the Empress Dowager Qin for so many years, and she has barely gotten better, but since the disappearance of King An, the anxiety and panic in her heart have increased day by day, and in the past two years, there has been a trend of breaking jars and breaking, not to mention that her younger brother lost a lot of face in the regent palace before, and then the Liu family had to pinch their noses to marry the slut into the door, and this Pei family also talked very happily with the barbarian woman!

She didn't care about the many people next to her, just thinking, it was rare to see this Pei Shi once, and it happened to meet her when she was down, when would she stay if she didn't fall into the well at this time?

Princess Kang, who was standing on Pei Baoer's right side, was silent, only lowering her eyes and pretending to be dead.

Princess Ning on the back side frowned slightly, she saw that Pei Bao'er didn't squeak, so she thought about what to say, but when she saw Pei Bao'er's body shaking, she couldn't help but exhale softly, stepped forward quickly, and held the person up the moment before Pei Bao'er fell to the ground and lost her manners.

"Oh, what's wrong with the Princess Regent?"

A crisp female voice came from behind, a little reckless, but it broke the stagnant silence of the previous one.

Everyone began to talk in a whisper, and many people remembered the sickly and merry Princess Pei who they saw in the Regent's Mansion during the Dragon Boat Festival, and they were a little worried about whether the delicate and weak Princess Pei was seriously ill again. Even if it is rumored that the regent is how, but in the end, the two are still a husband and wife, and the love is always there, even if they are not in that face, they have to take care of it. If something happened to this Princess Pei in this palace today, wouldn't they be held responsible?

Another more stable one proposed to invite the imperial doctor to come over and see the princess regent.

Empress Dowager Qin glared at Princess An, and instructed Princess Kang and Princess Ning to help Pei Bao'er down to rest.

"Silence! The princess regent is just a little unwell, so there is no need to panic! ”

The imperial physician has naturally been prepared for a long time, after all, the female relatives of the clan are delicate and frail, and some of them are old, and every time this kind of ceremony and ritual can always faint one or two people, therefore, the imperial hospital has already prepared two experienced imperial doctors waiting, one is on the side hall of the female dependents, and the other is on the side of the emperor and the clan.

Coincidentally, the imperial doctor who was on duty on the side of the female dependents was none other than the eldest son of the envoy of the Zhang Yuan, Imperial Doctor Zhang.

Although he is only a positive eighth grade, his medical skills are exquisite, quite his father's style, and his qualifications are also very deep, and he is the most prominent among more than a dozen imperial doctors. Now in the position of the left and right court judges, the Zhou court judge is too old, six or seven years older than Zhang Yuan, and he is about to retire and return to his hometown for the elderly. After that, the promotion of this imperial doctor is also a sure thing.

When the imperial doctor heard the news, he hurried to the room next to the main hall that was in charge of repairing to check the pulse of Princess Pei, who was said to be in a bad mood.

In this diagnosis, his brows were tightly locked, as if the hemp rope had been tied in four or five knots.

Princess Ning was the fastest, and immediately asked: "Imperial Doctor Zhang, isn't there anything wrong with Princess Pei?" ”

Imperial Doctor Zhang muttered without saying a word, and only arched his hand towards the two of them for a long time.

"The officials don't dare to speak out about this matter, and they need to ask Zhang Yuanzhi, Zhou Yuanju and others to consult together, and then make a decision." After a pause, he added, "It's best to invite the regent over as well." ”

Princess Kang, who had been silent, finally had a crack on her calm expression on her face.

Princess Ning was also surprised, what is this called, is it possible......
