Within two days, Ning Sijiao's will to be named Ning Concubine because he was pregnant with the emperor's grandson was conveyed from the palace of the two noble concubines.

Because Hu Shanxiang's body was getting weaker, the crown princess also exempted her from morning and dusk, and in order to let her rest better, she also asked the concubines of the imperial grandson to change the daily morning and dusk province for the main concubine to ten days to ask for peace for the princess.

Concubine Ning got a new position, and in addition to Xie En, she had to formally meet with the other concubines, so on the eleventh day of the lunar month, she arrived earlier than anyone else.

I don't know if it's because she arrived too early, she sat in the hall of Wutong Courtyard for a long time, although there were palace maids waiting for tea and snacks, but I didn't see Hu Shanxiang come out. Concubine Ning was a little breathless, and asked the maid who was adding water to her, "What about Her Royal Highness Concubine Taisun?" โ€

"Back to the master, the slave doesn't know."

The maid lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to the eyes, and she couldn't make any mistakes. Concubine Ning thought to herself that she was pregnant with an heir, and she had to be treated so coldly, could it be that the gentle and virtuous princess wanted to use herself as Qiao and give her a horse? couldn't help but take a breath of turbidity, and the teacup handed by the maid was so hot that he couldn't hold it, so he fell to the ground with his hand and drank lightly, "Do you serve the master like this on weekdays?" Drinking this water will not burn people to death. โ€

The maid quickly knelt on the ground and bowed her head to plead guilty. Concubine Ning didn't want to drink anymore, after all, it wasn't in her courtyard, and besides, she was promoted from the secretary to the concubine, she was too arrogant to be said, so she had to endure her anger, "Get up, I don't blame you, it's just that the water is too hot, fortunately it's me who follows, if Her Royal Highness Princess Taisun takes it by mistake, won't it hurt your body?" You should be careful on weekdays, so that it is not possible to wait for the master, and the water must be tried at the elbow first, and then it can be handed over when it is warm. โ€ใ€‚

The little maid nodded again and again, "Slave and maid Xie Ning's teachings, I must pay attention next time." โ€

Ning Concubine wanted to say a few more words, Hu Shanxiang had already come out, followed by Hu Shanggong, Zhihe, Ruolian and four or five maids, as soon as she came out, the little maid who added water to Ning Concubine immediately quietly picked up the teacup that fell on the ground, and withdrew with her hands after giving a salute.

Hu Shanxiang sat on the chair and picked up the teacup, waited for the little maid in front of him to add warm water, put it to his lips and took a sip, and put it down before speaking, "I didn't expect Concubine Ning to get up so early, I heard you talking outside, but the servants were not attentive?"

Concubine Ning smiled after giving the salute: "How come, the people who have been taught by Her Royal Highness Concubine Taisun are good, but the teacup is a little hot, I didn't hold it steady, and I fell to the ground." I'm sorry to drop your stuff. โ€

Hu Shanxiang heard the dissatisfaction in her voice, and said with a smile: "Because Hu Shanggong said that this pregnant woman should not drink cold, the temperature of the tea in my hospital is higher than that of other places. Forget it, just a tea cup, Ning Concubine doesn't have to take it to heart. โ€

The voice was quiet and gentle, and she seemed to believe that it was indeed Ning Concubine who accidentally dropped the teacup by herself, and lightly revealed that the teacup was too hot.

Then, Sun Qingyang and others also came to say goodbye, and sat down after saluting. No one greeted Concubine Ning, as if this person didn't exist.

Concubine Ning didn't know that they were abiding by the rules, and when she saw her first, she thought that they were deliberately embarrassed, her face was red and white for a while, and she only felt sullen in her heart. Even if she used to be just a bed warmer, a slave or a maid, now, she is pregnant with an heir, among these individuals here, only she and the princess have children, no matter how much they look down on themselves, they don't seem to have anything to rely on.

Concubine Ning raised her head high, like a proud little rooster, with high morale. It wasn't until Hu Shanggong reminded her that she gave a few concubines a salute in a panic.

Sun Qingyang and the others were willing to accept the full gift because she was pregnant, but she was blessed, and they all took out the pre-prepared gifts and gave them to her as congratulations.

After sitting down, He Jiayu smiled before speaking, "Sister, my complexion looks much better today, I think the child in your belly has been tossing less for a while?" โ€

Hu Shanxiang stroked his stomach and smiled softly: "No, he has been much more well-behaved recently, and I can eat at this time, so my complexion is better." โ€

Yuan Yuwei smiled and asked, "Sister, have you asked the imperial doctor to come to check the pulse again?" I've heard people say that a good doctor can diagnose a man or a woman in four or five months. If you know in advance whether it's the county king or the county lord, we can prepare our clothes. โ€

Without waiting for Hu Shanxiang to speak, Hu Shanggong explained: "This statement is just a rumor, the imperial doctors can judge men and women according to the happy pulse, but they are not all shots, and a gynecological holy hand like Imperial Doctor Xu can only be said to be right six or seven times out of ten." Some Jianghu doctors claim to judge men and women, never miss, but they are just putting gold on their faces, if it is really so effective, everyone in the world is patriarchal, isn't it that every family is born first, where is there a thing that blooms first and then bears fruit? โ€

Yuan Yuwei nodded again and again after hearing this, "Lord Shanggong is indeed well-informed, I only listened to such a sentence and a half, and I thought it was really so effective, now I listen to Lord Shanggong, isn't this the reason, if the doctors can judge men and women with a pulse, then women have become rare." โ€

He Jiayu said with a smile next to him: "Although there are countless things to do about diagnosing the pulse, there are indeed some experienced grandmothers who can be seen when they are older, and the grandmother Zeng in my hospital said, Sister, your baby must be a boy." โ€

"Oh?" Hu Shanxiang became interested, "Everyone said that since I had this child, I don't have spots and my face is good-looking, I say that I am a girl dressed as a mother, and my reaction is strong, I think I am a county lord, how can Mama Zeng say this?" โ€

He Jiayu raised her head proudly, "Those are just common judgment methods, in fact, there are sharp-bellied men and round-bellied women, small-bellied men and big-bellied women, sister's appearance, except for the belly, other parts of the body are not fat, Mama Zeng said that nine times out of ten is a boy, and let me ask you if your feet are swollen?" โ€

Hu Shanxiang shook his head, "It's not swollen, I'm still wearing my previous shoes, and Shang Gong asked me to prepare some bigger shoes yet." โ€

He Jiayu clapped her hands happily, "Isn't this it, it's a boy if the feet aren't swollen, and a girl with swollen feet, and although you have a big reaction, sister, you have always loved to eat sour, this sour and spicy girl is not a county king." โ€

Hearing this, Hu Shanxiang was very perfunctory, although she said that men and women are the same, but she still looked forward to giving birth to a boy in her heart, after all, as soon as the eldest grandson came out, she no longer had to be frightened, and she didn't have to think about whose son she was holding under her knees. Daughter, you can have another child later, preferably if this child is a boy, then everything is as safe as a rock.

Ning Concubine next to her was shocked when she heard this, she was pregnant with this child, because her skin turned dark and she didn't react to sourness, she thought it must be a boy, and she didn't want to do what He Jiayu said, she was just the opposite.

Yuan Yuwei, who was watching Concubine Ning's face on the side, smiled and said, "Why is Concubine Ning's feet swollen?" I see you don't look good? โ€

Concubine Ning subconsciously denied it, "No, no, the concubine listened to what He Guifei said and listened to God." But his feet shrank down his skirt.

Yuan Yuwei seemed to be kind and whispered to persuade her, "Sister He also said that she should be older in the month to be able to see it accurately, you and Concubine Taisun are still young this month, everyone is just saying some auspicious words, for peace of mind, rather concubine don't think about it." โ€

Concubine Ning reluctantly smiled with a bitter face.

Sun Qingyang sighed, this Ning concubine is too high-minded, I'm afraid it's not a blessing, she hasn't thought about a concubine, or the last one who has just risen up, what to compare with the princess, it is best to be a county king, that is, a county lord, and it is the same Amitabha Buddha to be born safely, she doesn't understand this truth, she blindly thinks about pinching the tip, and she doesn't know how to hide it, someone really has an idea, how can she protect the child in her womb?

didn't want to mess with these things, Sun Qingyang stood up with a smile, "What Sister He said today not only reassured Sister Hu, but also gained a lot of knowledge, congratulations to Concubine Taisun and Concubine Ning for gradually stabilizing their bodies, we are all looking forward to you giving birth to the county lord as soon as possible, there are more people in this mansion and it is also lively, it is not early, my sister still has to have breakfast, do not disturb Sister Hu's rest, and the concubine will leave first." โ€

Seeing her get up to say goodbye, Zhao Yaoying also got up one after another.

Hu Shanxiang is not calm because these days are not morning and dusk, there are fewer people to speak, seeing that they are leaving, he hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade him, "You are also rare to come now, and you don't have to go to the concubine to say goodbye today, just sit with me for a while, and then have breakfast here, let's go to the garden to enjoy the flowers, listen to the slaves, last night's snow fell, the plum blossoms are all blooming, this is a good omen for this year, we all have to go and see." โ€

He Jiayu sat down, "Since my sister said so, then I'm not welcome, eating here with you is more enjoyable than eating alone in the house." โ€

As soon as she sat down, Concubine Yuan and Concubine Ning also sat down.

"It's definitely not interesting to eat alone, it's also lively for a few of us to eat together, and I can use two more bites to see how fragrant you eat."

Hearing Hu Shanxiang say this, Sun Qingyang and Zhao Yaoying, who didn't want to stay, couldn't say anything more, so they all sat back again.

Hu Shanggong whispered to Zhihe and the others to prepare more meals.

He Jiayu looked at the phoenix crown on Hu Shanxiang's head, "Wearing this Shen at this time, there are sisters on the left and right, you don't have to be polite with us, let the maids take it for you, change into regular clothes, right?" โ€

Yuan Weiwei covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister He, you were the most knowledgeable in the past, why are you so clumsy now?" โ€

He Jiayu was stunned and angry, "What did Sister Yuan say?" โ€

Sun Qingyang was busy playing the round, "Sister Hu's phoenix crown is a light gold crown, looking at the splendor, in fact, it is as thin as a gauze shadow, light as a flower, I think it is the craftsmanship of the Xiao Meng craftsman, you look at the phoenix wings on it, even the lightest breeze can blow it tremble, almost like flying." โ€

He Jiayu looked at it carefully, and if it was really so, he was envious, "It's really a good thing, but the concubine is clumsy, and she didn't even see it." โ€
