Chapter Twenty-Six: Dong Guiren's Visit
Mo Yan, who had been dreamless all night, woke up at this time, except for the nervous restraint at the beginning. After all, there was a man lying next to her, so she was naturally not used to it, but as the sleepiness hit, coupled with Liu Xie's very disciplined rules, she kept her distance, and she fell asleep. She stretched on the bed, and halfway through it, she touched the side with her hand, apparently he was long gone.
"Your Majesty is not here, is Your Highness disappointed?" Yu Niang's voice came from the side, which scared Mo Yan a lot, it was Yu Niang sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a bowl in her hand, "Yu Niang, you scared me to death." Who was disappointed? I'm just checking to see if he's not there, what's in your hands? ”
"His Highness was frightened, and His Majesty went to the court. This is a fetal drug, before His Royal Highness refused to have a child, so he did not prepare a fetal medicine for His Highness, but since His Royal Highness has decided to give birth to a child, then ask His Royal Highness to take the fetal medicine on time every day, this child can not let others know for the time being, Yu Niang can only send medicine to His Royal Highness at this time, drink the medicine while it is hot. ”
Just looking at this bowl of medicine, she felt bitter, and she had to drink it every day, and she felt dizzy when she thought about it. She pinched her nose and drank it all in one gulp, the taste buds on the tip of her tongue filled with the bitter taste of medicinal herbs. Yu Niang took out a small wooden box from behind her, and inside was dried sour plums, "This is a sour dried plum sent to His Royal Highness without His Majesty's knowledge, Your Majesty said that this thing is too sour and will hurt your stomach." Yu Niang knew that the medicine was bitter, and she was afraid that His Royal Highness would not be able to bear the suffering, so she would eat one every time she drank the medicine, and it was good to reduce the taste of the medicine. ”
She took one and put it in her mouth, the bitterness was reduced a lot, and she was also very touched by Yu Niang's intimacy, there was really a feeling of a mother taking care of her daughter and giving birth, but sadly her mother couldn't see her giving birth to children, whether it was Mo Yan herself or Fu Shou. In addition to being sentimental, she still thanked Yu Niang. Yu Niang hid the bowl and wooden box and helped her out of bed. "Your Highness's pregnancy, do you want to inform Chunyi? After all, she is the maid of His Royal Highness. ”
"Don't say it, this girl can't hold her breath, let's see later." Chunyi had already asked her if she knew Cao Pi before, although she might not have guessed the reason, but more is better than less.
Wash and make-up, and after changing. Yu Niang opened the door of the house, Mo Yan walked out of the house with her, and the palace people waiting outside saluted the queen, and one of the attendants stepped forward and informed: "Dong Guiren is waiting in front of the palace, saying that he is visiting His Royal Highness." Mo Yan waved his hand to let him step back, what is this Dong Guiren doing here? Saying that these ancient people please be early, it is really not ordinary, she sighed silently, she has to slowly adapt to the ancient habits.
As soon as she arrived at the palace, she saw Dong Guiren taking her personal palace people to come forward and salute, Mo Yan helped her up, "You don't have to be so polite, please get up quickly." Dong Lin got up, and the posture of lowering her eyes made her sigh in her heart, probably men like poor women more, right? It's no wonder that Liu Xie dotes on her more. "Your Highness Xie, Your Highness seems to have a ruddy complexion, but has he recovered?"
"Ahem. It's hard for my sister to worry about me, and my body is healed. Mo Yan didn't expect that this Dong Lin would be so careful, she had been politely rejected by Yu Niang in five days, and she didn't expect that she would still come to Jiaofang Hall early in the morning of the sixth day, but it was just ...... Now that Mo Yan has intervened in the palace and become Liu Xie's queen, isn't she deliberately thinking badly of people, will this Dong Guiren be so kind? Will you be as kind as Mrs. Bian?
"Although it's still August, Your Highness also needs to pay attention to your body."
"Thank you for your concern, my sister should also be careful with her body. My sister is so considerate, I believe that if I have children in the future, I will be extremely smart and beautiful. She said this sincerely, she is not a ruthless person, since Liu Xie treats the child in her womb like this regardless of previous suspicions, if Dong Guiren in front of him can give birth to children for him, it is also very fair to Liu Xie. As a thank you to Liu Xie, why don't you help Dong Lin in the future? She couldn't remember what the cause of Dong Lin's death was, but at least let her get pregnant and have a baby before that, very good, so it was decided.
Mo Yan saw Dong Lin's face flushed, and he was shy at first glance, but beautiful people are different, and he looks good if he is shy. She thinks it should be fun to tease the people in this palace. The palace people beside Dong Lin were anxious to reply, "That's a matter of time, the noble man is so favored." ”
"Presumptuous, is this the place where you speak? You don't take His Highness seriously at all when you say this, and I will slap your mouth well when I go back. Otherwise, others will think that I condone the palace people. ”
"Sister, don't get excited, you have something to say. My sister's hands are thin and tender, where can I beat people, Your Majesty will definitely feel distressed. It's good to go back and say a few words, it's not good to move your hands and feet at all. ”
"Yes...... Dongmei hasn't thanked His Highness quickly, and if you talk nonsense in the future, I won't be able to protect you. ”
The person called "Dongmei" knelt on the ground and apologized to Mo Yan, Mo Yan hurriedly let Dongmei get up, she couldn't stand the kneeling of these people, and always felt that she wanted to let herself die.
"Your Royal Highness is generous, the concubine will keep it in mind for Dongmei, and she won't let her talk nonsense anymore." Dong Lin gave Dongmei a look, Dongmei took the food box from the side and handed it to Yu Niang, Yu Niang took the food box and walked to Mo Yan's side, opened it, it was Hu Cake (1). "His Royal Highness has been accompanied by decoction for the past few days, and the concubine body has somewhat affected the taste and appetite, this is the concubine body makes Hu cakes according to the secret recipe of the family, if Your Highness does not dislike it, you can taste it."
When Mo Yan just wanted to reach out to take it, she was slapped on the back of her hand by Yu Niang, she was a little puzzled, but she still took her hand back, and Yu Niang saluted Dong Guiren and put away the food box. Mo Yan had no choice but to smile, "My sister has a heart, then I will accept it politely, and taste it for a while." ”
"This is what a concubine should do, but the decoction sent by His Royal Highness a few days ago can be described as unique...... Unlike the bitter taste of other herbs, it has a strong sour taste, which is very relieving of heat. It's just ......"
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
Before His Royal Highness entered the palace, it was rumored in the palace that His Royal Highness was a rare intelligent woman in the world. I never thought that His Royal Highness was proficient in herbal medicine, and he really made the concubine admire. The more she said Mo Yan, the more unnatural she laughed, when she was in Fufu before, Mo Yan saw a lot of books in Fushou's boudoir, the four treasures of the study, the qin and chess, and she also read books and studied the piano during her imprisonment. She thought that Fushou was probably a talented girl, but a talented and young lady who was waiting to be married, how could she not think of running to jump off the cliff? She has never figured out this question, and now what is in front of her is this Dong Guiren and other palace people also think that Fu Shou is a talented woman, if she is asked to write poetry, write, play chess, and play the piano in the future, how should she deal with it?
"I'm only touching on it slightly, where to talk about mastery. My sister's words are exaggerated, which makes it difficult for me to feel at ease. ”
"It's the concubine's inappropriate words, and the concubine has also heard that His Royal Highness is very talented, and I hope His Highness will teach you a lesson or two."
Mo Yanzheng didn't know how to answer, and a feeling of nausea and vomiting followed, she covered her mouth and turned her head, for fear of vomiting on the spot. Seeing this, Yu Niang stepped forward and hid her behind her, "Your Highness is weak and has not recovered, because she can't bear to refuse anymore, so she will meet the nobleman." ”
"The concubine is stupid and has no intention of offending, so she will leave, and His Highness will have a good life and recuperate." Dong Lin and Dongmei knelt down together and saluted, and Mo Yan stretched out his hand to signal to retreat.
When they stepped out of the front hall, Yu Niang turned to her and asked, "How is Your Highness?" ”
"It's fine. But this discomfort came at a good time, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do. She's testing me. She didn't feel the malice, but this Dong Lin was really testing herself, the thoughts of the emperor and concubine, Mo Yan knew that Dong Lin was worried about whether she would affect her status in Liu Xie's heart, but she didn't have to worry, because she still wanted to be a "matchmaker", so that Dong Lin and Liu Xieen would love each other, and it was best to conceive a baby.
"Your Highness is very clever, but being unwell is only an expedient measure, not a long-term solution. Even if His Majesty doesn't care about His Highness's identity, others may not. His Royal Highness should read and practice calligraphy as soon as possible, and it would be best if he could learn piano, chess, needlework, and embroidery, and his manners should also be changed. ”
She felt helpless and tired. Not only to raise a fetus and have children, but also to learn this and that, modern women are really much happier than women in ancient times.
"By the way, Yu Niang, can you tell me about this Dong Guiren? For example, when did she marry His Majesty, and does His Majesty like her? "In terms of intimacy, she is closer to Du'er, and she should help Du'er, but Du'er's attitude towards Liu Xie is more like her sister's feelings towards her brother, and she doesn't care if she is favored.
Dong Lin, you have to thank this girl.
