Chapter 7 The Secret Knot of the Bead Birth

The wind in winter is cold and cold, but the warm pavilion is warm like spring.

Su Mi shook the cloak slightly, and the snowflakes attached to the green satin surface fell lightly and softly.

Mi Qing, who was waiting on the side, helped Su Mi untie his cloak, and shouted into the house: "Mi Hong, the master is back, come over with a hot hand stove, this hand stove is already cold." ”

"In fact, everyone knows that the master is not in good health, and even the emperor's summons often don't go, so why go to Fengyi Palace every day to meet the queen? Say hello to the emperor and take a leave. Mi Qing said as she straightened her cloak.

"Serving the queen is my etiquette as a concubine, how can it be wasted, now that my position in the harem is unstable, how can I be honest and criticize people in these subsections." Su Mi replied nonchalantly, they had just returned from the queen's place.

"Master, the emperor's reward has arrived again, a pair of ruby rice beads and hairpins, a pair of dotted emerald inlaid pearls and three friends of the cold pearls, and a thousand-year-old ginseng, I heard that Gonggong Gao said that the Goryeo Kingdom had just paid tribute, and it was specially sent over to make up for the master's body, I looked at it, but it was terrible, the boss's ginseng beard, I felt refreshed when I smelled it." Mi Hong came out, holding a hand stove in his hand, and said happily, "The emperor is really considerate to his master, he just agreed to be promoted a few days ago, and the slave maid saw that the master was going to be promoted again in a few days." ”

Su Mi smiled and said nothing, today Qi Long had already mentioned the matter of promoting her again, but she politely refused, she replied respectfully: "The emperor has nothing to repay Su Mi's kindness, Su Mi is from a humble background, and if he is promoted too quickly, I am afraid that it is not in line with the ancestral system, if Su Mi alone causes discord in the harem, wouldn't it be Su Mi's sin." ”

Qi Long praised her modesty, and felt that she was virtuous and knowledgeable.

"It's a pity that the master is weak and often sick, and every time the emperor summons two or three times, he can go once. Otherwise, it should be ranked alongside Liu Liangren. Mi Hong sighed, "Liu Liangren can't compare to the master's ......."

"Okay, okay, the work hasn't been done yet, so I'm here to talk about the master," Mi Qing interrupted her, "It's all chattering here, have you packed up yesterday's things?" Why don't you go and make the stove work harder. ”

Mi Hong stuck out her tongue at Mi Qing and ran away.

The New Year is approaching, and it has been a month since Su Mi was favored, and this month Liu Qiyan was extremely favored, almost not inferior to Concubine Yun, and in terms of position, he was just promoted to a good person yesterday.

And Su Mi has always controlled the number of times he is favored on the grounds that he is weak and sick.

In the past month, except for the empress, Ni Guifei, and Concubine Wen, who has the emperor's presence, the emperor will go once or twice a month, and the rest of the time is to summon concubines to sleep in the Ganlu Palace. Among them, Concubine Yun is still the most favored, but she is no longer the side-eyed of the six palaces, no one can match, followed by Liu Qiyan, and then her.

Under Concubine Yun's slightly detracted but still brilliant brilliance and the glory of Liu Qiyan's young man's favor, Su Mi's favor will not be so eye-catching.

Just took a sip of the hot tea served by Mi Qing, and Xiao Lu Ziyu outside reported that Liu Liangren was coming,

Su Mi was slightly taken aback. How did she get here?

In the past few days, I met in Fengyi Palace, and Qiyan often wanted to be close to Su Mi, but every time she was lightly dissolved by Su Mi, and quietly changed the topic. The two of them are humble and favored, and they are already a thorn in the side of the concubines, and if they behave intimately, they will arouse the vigilance of others. And Ni Yelin obviously has the intention of wooing Qiyan, she and the Ni family have a deep enmity like the sea, and seeing Ni Guifei's efforts to endure on the surface, of course she will not feel too comfortable in her heart.

"Come in, please." Su Mi got up and greeted him.

The curtain was lifted, and Qiyan walked in.

She has a little emerald inlaid pearl phoenix on her head, the pearl is shining, a snow-white silver fox fur cloak, the silver light is separated, and the lower edge reveals a deep red and dark flower Shu satin pleated skirt, and her little face is frozen red to the ground, which is particularly cute.

This thing was all a royal gift, and she put it on so quickly.

"Early in the morning, how can my beloved sister come over?" Su Mi smiled gently, with the most standard smile that a palace concubine treats the sisters in the palace.

"Sister......" Qiyan originally had something to say, but when she saw Su Mi's smile, she couldn't say anything, and she suddenly stumbled, and she didn't know what to say.

She looked at Su Mi, her big eyes were watery, and she was already so anxious that she was about to cry.

Su Mi suddenly had a headache, she obviously didn't say anything serious, she shouldn't cry here.

"Sister blames me, it should have been my sister's opportunity, but I gave my sister's opportunity to ......" Qiyan pulled Su Mi's sleeve and finally opened her mouth, "Sister, don't blame me for being good, or I'll go and explain to the emperor......" She looked at Su Mi expectantly.

Su Mi was in a trance for a while, there was a person, every time he did something wrong, he would look at her like this: "Ah Mi, forgive me, okay, or I'll give you my pearl necklace, and the chestnut cake that I secretly left yesterday, or even today's share, or even today'......s share" Facing those innocent eyes, he always couldn't last long and would soften his heart, and then enjoy the dim sum he got beautifully.

However, in a blink of an eye, the fragrance has disappeared, heaven and man are separated forever, and the things in the world are really like dreams.

"Qiyan has said a few words to my sister since she entered the palace, if even my sister ignores me......" Unable to get Su Mi's response, Qiyan became more and more anxious, and she didn't know how to say it. Although she has been staying in Bibo Pool since entering the palace and has no quarrel with the world, she is a fourteen-year-old girl who suddenly left the love of her parents and stepped into the unknown deep palace alone. After getting favored, I don't know whether it's joy or sorrow, although there are many flatterers, but it is difficult to have someone who speaks the truth. Especially when she was hit by Concubine Yun's board again, she was frightened and panicked. Seeing Su Mi again, Su Mi ignored her again, and felt even more uncomfortable, until today I finally couldn't help but run over to find Su Mi.

"No, silly boy," Su Mi was stunned for a moment, "I don't blame you. "How could she blame her for such a thing, she just didn't want to give anything other than hatred in this cold palace.

Finally hearing what Su Mi said, Qiyan couldn't help but cry "wow".

Su Mi felt that her head was really starting to hurt.

After a period of scramble, the table was filled with pastries.

Su Mi knew that she was still a child, so she had to persuade her gently, while swearing that she would never be angry again.

Mi Qing took out all kinds of new pastries and put them on the table, and retreated.

"Sister, there are so many delicious foods here." Finally said what she wanted to say in her heart, and cried out when she wanted to cry, Qiyan breathed a sigh of relief, and under persuasion, she quickly regained her smile.

"If you like it, it's fine." Su Mi unconsciously sandwiched a piece of dried grape flesh for her, this kind of snack is made by first selecting ripe and large grapes to remove the seeds and replacing them with fresh small jerky, and then marinating them with honey and fruit oil, which was originally Wei Qing'er's favorite food.

Qiyan took it happily, took a bite, suddenly frowned slightly, hesitated, took another small bite, and reluctantly swallowed. His face couldn't help but turn pale, as if he was about to vomit.

"Sister's cooking is delicious," Qiyan put down with a dry smile, "I used to like to eat this, but I don't have a good appetite in the last few days, and I feel like I want to vomit when I eat these things." ”

Su Mi suddenly had doubts in her heart. She picked up another piece of dim sum and said, "I knew that my sister didn't like sweets, so it was better to try this, this is pickled with the newly paid tribute from the south, it is sour and sweet, and it is very delicious." ”

"Originally, I liked it very much, but I don't know if it's because I've eaten too much or something else, and I'm sick when I eat something greasy." Qiyan said as she took it and ate it, the taste was really refreshing, and she couldn't help but pick up a few more pieces.

Seeing this, Su Mi was even more puzzled, she stretched out her hand and grabbed Qiyan's wrist affectionately, and said, "My sister lives in Xifu Palace, I don't know how Ni Guifei Niangniang treats her sister?" ”

"Niang Niang is very good, often reward Qi cigarette things, a few days ago it was Su embroidery material, and a few days ago it was a dim sum ...... Yangzhou" Qi Yan said.

"My sister has a bad appetite these days, but she has seen a doctor?"

"No, not long ago, Guifei Niangniang's headache was committed again, and Imperial Doctor Chen, who is in charge of Xifu Palace, has been very busy recently, so he hasn't come over to diagnose Qiyan's pulse in the past few days. Qiyan said while eating candied mandarins.

Really!

Just now, Su Mi took advantage of the hand to hold her pulse, and she had already noticed it. This stupid girl, she didn't even know she was pregnant.

Is this a good thing for her? Maybe without children, she can live longer, Su Mi looked at Qiyan in a daze.

"Sister, sister," Qiyan asked, "is there something wrong?" ”

"No ......," Su Mi lowered his eyes.

Qiyan talked about homely things with great interest. Speaking of her family, they were overjoyed when they heard about her favored promotion.

"I heard that my father is going to donate an official in the spring, so I also have a legitimate background."

There is a difference between the high and the low!

The Great Qi Shi and the Shu are clearly distinguished. The daughters of the official family and the daughters of the commoners are in the palace, and the treatment is very different, and the daughters of the official families and scholars who come in the draft, even if they can't be concubines and become palace maids, they are also female officials serving nobles, and once they reach the age, they can be released from the palace to marry on their own. Most of the daughters of the commoner families of the Shu nationality are low-level slaves and maids in the palace, and only a very few lucky ones will be named concubines, or promoted to high-ranking female officials because of their effective service.

Moreover, the ancestral system stipulates that palace maids from civilian backgrounds can only be promoted to concubines step by step, and they are not allowed to skip the rank unless they have great merit (giving birth to heirs, etc.). Like her and Qiyan, you can only start with the last dressing. But if a female official from an official eunuch family is favored by the emperor, there is no need to do so.

If Qiyan's father has an official position, even if it is the lowest sesame mung bean official, her worth will immediately be fundamentally different. According to her favor a few days ago, I am afraid that she will be promoted to the concubine position early.

"Have you ever told anyone about this?"

"I said it, I talked about it when I visited a few ladies a few days ago."

No wonder Ni Guifei was so breathless. Su Mi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The two talked for a while, and seeing that Qiyan was also a little tired, Su Mi sent her back.

"Master, don't you also have that emerald beaded phoenix step shake and silver fox cloak, why don't you want to wear it?" Seeing Qiyan leaving, Mi Hong couldn't help but ask: "The master is so beautiful, if he can dress up well......

The phoenix is swayed with emerald beads, using gold thread flowers as the base support, decorating the phoenix body with kingfisher feathers, and the eyes and mouth are inlaid with rubies and black pearls, and red coral beads are inlaid on both sides. The two small pendants attached to the pointed small mouth are made of small gourds carved from jadeite. The whole step shake is light and chic, gorgeous and elegant, but the step shake can only be used if it is a concubine or above.

The white fox is originally rare, and the silver fox is the best among the white foxes, famous for its soft and smooth fur and dazzling brilliance, it can only grow in the extremely cold land in the territory of Liao, and it is as fast as the wind, cunning and alert, and extremely difficult to catch. A few days ago, a Liao tribe came to pay tribute outside the Sai and offered six silver fox fur cloaks, and Qi Long rewarded the harem.

Qi Yan's outfit just now, Su Mi also has a set of his own, and he is not lacking, but he has never been on it.

"Okay, looking for red, those things can't be consumed by my position." Su Mi interrupted her.

The royal gift, the silver fox cloak, the father was an official, and the imperial heir was conceived, it was strange that Ni Guifei could stand it, but she didn't know when to do it, so dragging the imperial doctor would definitely not last long, I'm afraid it would be in the past few days.

Su Mi stood up, "Miqing, go to the Tai Hospital, and say that I haven't been in good spirits these days, so I went to ask the Tai Hospital for a few calming medicines." ”

"The master is not feeling well? Why don't you ask the doctor to come and take a look. Mi Qing asked

"No need, it's just an old problem, and the medicine is also a common thing to take in the old days, and I'll write you the prescription in a while." Su Mi said, and there was a kind of depression in his voice.

Mi Qing wanted to say anything more, but seeing Su Mi's pale face and tired appearance, she didn't dare to say anything more, and served Su Mi into the back room.

Late at night, Su Mi dismissed everyone and was alone in the room.

She picked up the medicinal herbs she had just brought today, and then took out a few flavors from the medicine that Wei Qing'er had taken in the past. According to the recipe in memory, carefully concocted.

In the middle of the night, when the pill was ready, she took out the jade box and carefully put it away.

"It's up to you to do the next step."

β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»

The heavy snowfall that had been falling for several days finally stopped on December 17, and early in the morning, the queen ordered someone to send a message, preparing to invite the concubines of each palace to enter Fengyi Palace to enjoy the snow and taste tea.

Su Mi got up early in the morning to shower and change clothes, and dress up.

"Don't you use the set of jewelry that the emperor gave you a few days ago?" Mi Hong couldn't help but ask.

"No, just take that set of wishful hairpins." Su Mi said, turning his head to Mi Qing behind him: "Comb the usual Feiyan bun." ”

Dressed in an elegant light green gold embroidered cotton skirt, covered with a silver mouse jacket, and on her feet were embroidered shoes on the bottom of a flower pot for snowy days.

"How did you get this dress out? Put it back quickly, the master can't wear it. Mi Qingdao, she has a calm temperament, and she knows what Su Mi means when she is unwilling to show off, and she also thinks so in her heart.

"It's a pity that such a good thing is not worn in vain, didn't Liu Liangren wear it a few days ago?" Mi Hong turned to Su Mi aggrievedly.

Su Mi glanced at her, too lazy to say anything, this girl has a good heart, but she is too naΓ―ve. Mi Hong didn't dare to say any more, so she obediently took it in and changed it into what Su Mi was used to.

Mi Qing put on a cloak for Su Mi, looked at the sky outside, couldn't help but ease his hand, and said: "The master might as well change to a thicker one, the weather is too cold, and the master's body is weak, this cloak of ink and silk satin really can't cover much wind, and it doesn't seem to be sunny for much time." ”

The sky outside was still overcast, and it seemed that the snowflakes would continue to fall at any time.

"It's fine." Su Mi looked at the sky.

Mi Qing hurriedly went to fetch a heavy autumn-colored feather satin and changed it.

At the gate of Fengyi Palace, Su Mi got out of the chariot and looked at the frame outside the door, which had already arrived.

Before entering the door, I happened to see the chariot of Ni Guifei of Xifu Palace arrive. The curtain of the car was lifted, but the smoke jumped down. Seeing Su Mi, Qiyan happily ran over and held Su Mi's hand affectionately, "Sister is here too." ”

She turned out to be the frame of Ni Guifei who was riding, and it seems that Ni Guifei has done a really good job on the surface.

"Su promised to have a really good relationship with Liu Liangren." Ni Guifei also got out of the car and said with a smile on the side.

"It's funny." Su Mi saluted respectfully and replied.

"It's too late for this palace to be envious, how can you see a smile, Su promised to speak is to see outside, this is not as straightforward and cute as Sister Qiyan." Ni Guifei gently covered her mouth with a brocade and smiled.

"Niangniang is respected, Su Mi is humble, and etiquette does not dare to be abolished." Su Mi bowed his head.

"It's all my own sisters, why bother with this, speaking of which, it's really rare for a beautiful woman like Sister Qiyan to be in the palace, and when I see it, I can't help but be my own sister." Ni Guifei shook her hand and said.

The palace people watched from a distance and hurriedly greeted them, led them into Fengyi Palace, passed through several corridors, and folded to the back garden, it turned out that today's small feast was placed in the pavilion.

The pavilion, which was originally empty on all sides, has now been surrounded by a cluster of shark bead yarn. Shark bead yarn is collected from the East China Sea with a kind of submarine plant and silver thread, silk mixed weaving, soft and dense, difficult to wet into the water, and like smoke and fog, almost transparent, because similar to the legendary shark silk, and show the same color as pearls, so called shark bead yarn, there are also directly called shark silk.

A few people laughed and walked into the pavilion.

As soon as you enter the pavilion, a hot air carries the fragrance of flowers, there is a vase of inlaid gold enamel in the courtyard, which is filled with the half-opened plum blossoms that are newly folded down, there are more than a dozen seats around, covered with white fox skin mattress and colorful embroidered backrest pillows, each seat is born in front of a gilded tower type small stove, warm and pleasant, the pavilion is surrounded by a shark bead yarn, the cold does not invade, look from the inside to the outside, it is as if transparent, the snow scene in the garden is in full view. Everyone took off their cloaks and sat down, Su Mi glanced at it, and the people who came today were all high-ranking or favored concubines.

After a while, the queen also arrived, and everyone stood up and saluted.

"Excuse me," untie the golden feather satin cloak with a red background and golden phoenix pattern, and the queen smiled: "Yesterday, the father of this palace got a rare 'white jade and green frost' in tea from southern Xinjiang, in addition to offering it to the queen mother and the emperor, there are still some left, and it was sent to Fengyi Palace. ”

White jade and green frost!

Sure enough, it is a rare superlative, the tea tree of green frost tea can only grow on the mountain cliff with abundant water source, suck the clean spring water seeping from the rock cliff all the year round, absorb the essence of the mountain clouds and mist, the color of the tea leaves that grow is like green jade, blue like condensation frost, it is a rare treasure in the tea, among them, the tea leaves produced by the tea tree that has reached hundreds of years old will become white on the head, and it has become a unique tea wonder, called "white jade and green frost".

The most rare thing is that to meet the conditions for its growth, only in the extremely southern mountainous areas of Lingnan, it is all in the territory of Nanchen, and now Nanchen and Daqi are at war.

Only the royal family, who was born as a queen, and the wealthy and noble lords who have stood unshakable for more than a hundred years can get their hands on it.

The concubines were naturally flattered, but many concubines said 'I am fortunate to have this tea, what ......an honor', but there is doubt in their eyes, I am afraid that many people do not know the origin of this "white jade and green frost".

The queen turned to Concubine Yun and said with a smile: "The emperor has always praised Sister Yun for being a well-informed and talented woman, and this palace is going to test you, do you know the origin of this tea?" ”

"Yes, the concubine's knowledge is shallow, which makes the mother smile," Concubine Yun replied respectfully, she naturally understood what the queen meant, "As far as the concubine knows, this white jade and green frost ......"

Listening to Concubine Yun's eloquent words, the concubines suddenly realized, and naturally they were even more flattering. Even Concubine Ni was full of praise, which made the queen a little surprised and looked at her more.

There were already maidservants who stepped forward to set up the tea set and began to cook the tea carefully, and the concubines began to gossip about homely things, and for a while, the pavilion was full of joy and laughter.

After more than half an hour, the tea was almost used, and Ni Guifei said: "The ancestors often said that tasting tea and appreciating flowers is an elegant thing in the world, and today I see the beautiful scenery in the queen's courtyard everywhere, so it is better for the sisters to go and enjoy the plum blossoms in the garden." ”

Everyone applauded in agreement, and the queen also smiled, "It's rare that you have this thought, and this palace will be a host today." ”

All the concubines got up one after another, picked up the coats around them and put them on.

"Hey, where's my cloak?" Concubine Yun suddenly said in surprise.

"What's wrong with my sister?" Ni Guifei stepped forward and asked lukewarmly.

"Ahh Qiyan next to him exclaimed, covering his lips and looking panicked.

"It's me...... No...... The concubine wore the wrong one. She looked timidly at the crowd and bowed her head. She and Concubine Yun are wearing the same cloak of silver fox fur today.

"Humph!" Concubine Yun snorted heavily.

Qiyan was terrified, since she was beaten by Concubine Yun, she was very afraid of her. She has been the daughter of the family since she was a child, her parents are in the palm of her hand, and she has never suffered that kind of hardship.

"My sister is so careless." Su Mi stepped forward and gently pushed her while helping Qiyan, who was already stunned, take off her cloak.

Qiyan woke up like a dream, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "It's the concubine who is careless, and the concubine knows that she is wrong, and she hopes that the mother will forgive her sins." The concubine must take this as a warning in the future and dare not commit it again. ”

"Careless? Is the rule in the palace a careless sentence that can be brought over? Concubine Yun angrily took the cloak from Su Mi's hand. She originally looked at Qiyan unpleasantly, and seeing her wearing a royal cloak added fuel to the fire, she knew very well the preciousness of this silver fox fur cloak, when was she as important as this girl in the eyes of the emperor? The stray silver light sparkled and pierced her eyes.

"Sister Liu is just careless for a while, why should Sister Yun be so unforgiving? Besides, Sister Liu is a newcomer in the palace, she is young and does not follow the rules, so naturally she is not comparable to an old man like Sister Yun. Ni Guifei said with a smile, and the word "old" in her words bit harder.

Concubine Yun's face turned blue for a while, the word "old" pierced her heartache, looking at the timid appearance of Qiyan next to her, her heart was even more angry, "Sister Guifei's words are probably inappropriate, the country has national laws, the family has family rules, the harem has the etiquette of the harem, Niangniang was born in a noble family, and she was ordered by the emperor to assist the queen in taking care of the harem. Concubine Yun retorted.

She calmed down for a moment, and didn't look at Ni Guifei, who was choked by herself, and turned her head to the queen and saluted: "Niangniang is the lord of the six palaces, and she also asks Niangniang to be the master of this matter. ”

"The queen mother, please look at the face of the concubine, don't punish Sister Qiyan." Ni Guifei said softly.

The queen glanced at Ni Guifei, usually Ni Guifei acts arrogantly, and often doesn't look at the queen in her eyes, even if she is not as favored as before, she still doesn't have much restraint by relying on the power of her father and brother at home.

The queen sighed and said, "Since this palace is the lord of the harem, I only hope that the sisters in the palace will live in harmony and be like a family." It's a pity that there are naturally rules in the palace, and the palace can't bend the law for personal gain and ignore the rules of the ancestors. Otherwise, how will you control the harem in the future and convince the sisters? After a pause, he said, "It's just that Liu Liangren is unintentional after all, thinking that you are not long after entering the palace, the palace will no longer be heavily punished, Qiyan, the palace will punish you for kneeling under the eaves for four hours, can you be convinced?" ”

Qiyan hurriedly said: "Qiyan, thank you for the punishment of the mother, and the concubine is convinced." ”

In the harem, the law of respect and humility is strict, and if this kind of behavior like Qiyan is dealt with severely, it can even be demoted to the seal, and the queen is already light just by kneeling.

"Concubine Yun doesn't have an opinion either, right?"

Concubine Yun naturally felt that it was too light, and wanted to say something, but hesitated for a moment, and what she said was: "Niangniang is naturally fair, and the concubine is convinced." He glared at Qiyan fiercely.

The corners of Ni Guifei's mouth overflowed with a hint of smile.

Su Mi sighed softly, four hours! So where can the fetus be kept?

"Niangniang is slow," Seeing that the matter was about to settle, Su Mi suddenly knelt down and said, "Niangniang is aware of everything and handles it fairly, and we are all convinced." Liu Liangren should have been punished, but she told her concubine a few days ago that she might have been pregnant with the dragon seed, and asked Niang Niang to see that Kai En would postpone the punishment for some time. ”

This sentence was like a thunderclap on the ground, and everyone's faces changed in an instant.

Ni Guifei's face turned pale suddenly, and her figure couldn't help shaking, "When did this little slut know that she was pregnant?" I obviously stopped Imperial Doctor Chen, and the palace maids who arranged for her did not report any abnormality, how could it be possible, could it be that she knew that she was pregnant but could not show a hint, her scheming was too deep, right? No, it can't be. She was uneasy in her heart, and couldn't help but turn to Su Mi and Qiyan, who were kneeling in one place, to stare secretly.

Su Mi lowered her head, her black eyelashes drooped down, and she couldn't see any expression.

Qiyan was at a loss at this time, what did Su Mi say that she couldn't believe it, when did she say that she was pregnant? Oops, could she be worried that she would be punished for kneeling, so she exonerated herself with nonsense, right? Even if she doesn't understand the rules, she knows that things related to the Dragonborn must not be so rash, if it is a lie, she will definitely be punished heavily, and it is definitely a much more severe punishment than the punishment of kneeling.

"I ......" Thinking of this, Qiyan hurriedly raised her head to refute, but felt that her hand hurt slightly, it was Su Mi who took her hand from the side and pinched it gently, Qiyan's words froze, Su Mi had already smiled gently, "Sister, don't worry, I know that my sister herself feels unbelievable, so she has been suffering from gains and losses, and she doesn't even dare to ask the imperial doctor to come, now the situation is different, and it is about the emperor's heir, not to mention that there is a queen mother." You just have to relax. ”

The queen has come back to her senses, and immediately smiled, and said: "This is a great joy, so good, the emperor has been thin, since the sisters entered the palace, the palace has been looking forward to being able to open up more branches and leaves for the royal family, and add blessings to the children." While turning around, he called the eunuch in charge of Fengyi Palace beside him and said, "Cao Fuhai, go and report to the emperor." Then send someone to invite Imperial Doctor Qin from Tai Hospital to come over. ”

Without waiting for the queen's orders, Yurui, the personal female official beside her, had already stepped forward to help Qiyan up, and then helped Su Mi up together.

At this time, all the concubines also reacted, and they all stepped forward to congratulate, although Ni Guifei's face was the most ugly, but she did not lose her manners.

Concubine Yun stood there in a daze, lost her mind, she tried to make a happy expression, but her face did not obey the call, she suddenly thought of her child, the child who carried all her hopes, she didn't even have time to look at him, she wanted to convince herself not to think about it anymore, but she only felt cold in her heart, as if everything in this world was far away from her. At this time, everyone gathered around Qiyan, and no one would pay attention to her gaffe.

Qiyan was surrounded by everyone, only feeling that he was a roast chicken on a shelf, and there was nowhere to escape. The queen's speech had already made this matter a foregone conclusion, and she was so anxious that she didn't know what to say at all, so she just desperately glanced at Su Mi, hoping that she could explain. Su Mi stood outside the circle and smiled comfortingly at her.

At this time, the little eunuch outside the door reported, "Imperial Doctor Qin has arrived." ”

Qiyan was as pale as if she had heard a death knell, and her face was instantly pale as paper.

Trembling and stretching out his hand, Imperial Physician Qin lightly grabbed his beard, stretched out his finger and put it on Qiyan's trembling hand, and after a while, his face couldn't help but be full of joy, and said: "Congratulations to Liu Liangren, congratulations to the queen mother, sure enough, she has been pregnant for a month." ”

Qiyan couldn't believe her ears, and asked the doctor again and again.

Concubine Wen smiled softly, "Look at Sister Liu's joy." ”

Qiyan suddenly woke up, she was surprised just now, and there were many questions that should not be exported from her daughter's house, I am afraid that it will be impolite and make people laugh. I couldn't help but bow my head and blush.

The queen comforted: "Imperial Doctor Qin is the holy hand of gynecology, and she is a stable old lady doctor in the hospital, my sister will consult her another day, and the days in the future will be very long." ”

Qiyan hurriedly said yes.

Su Mi leaned on the pillar and looked at the scene in front of him with a smile, but he was afraid that most of the people here would like to eat the cigarette raw, but there was an affectionate expression on his face that he had been a good sister since his previous life.

Seeing that everyone's attention was on Qiyan, Ni Guifei walked into Su Mi quietly and asked softly: "Sister Su and Sister Qiyan really have an extraordinary relationship, and even say such private words to my sister, alas, this palace has always treated Qiyan as her own sister in Xifu Palace, and I don't know when Sister Qiyan had such a happy event." ”

"Niangniang is too modest, Qiyan has actually been grateful to Niangniang for taking care of her, but how embarrassing is this kind of embarrassing thing......" Su Mi smiled lightly, and there was no flaw on her face, "And I'm not sure, not to mention that Niangniang's own body is sick again, how can she dare to disturb Niangniang for such a trivial idea?" ”

Is she telling the truth? Or is it not interesting?

Ni Guifei stared at Su Mi, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she smiled instead, and said coquettishly: "Not sure? Sister, that's not right, right? How could such a big thing as being a dragonborn not be carefully determined by a doctor? ”

"Niangniang didn't know that Sister Qiyan's pregnancy had indeed not been diagnosed by the imperial doctor. It's just that a few days ago, my sister went to play with the concubine, and after eating a few pieces of greasy food, I couldn't help but feel nauseous and vomiting. The concubine then joked with her whether she was pregnant, and said that she would find a doctor to take a look. Originally, it was just a joke, who knew that he would be punished for kneeling when he saw Qiyan today, and suddenly he thought of it, although there was only a 1 in 10,000 possibility, but it was about the dragon descendants, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, the concubine had to ...... in a hurry Alas, think about the concubine herself and feel afraid, the palace rules are strict, in case Sister Qiyan is not pregnant, wouldn't the concubine have committed a big mistake. Su Mi couldn't help but pat his chest in shock.

"Where is it, Sister Su has made great contributions to the royal bloodline, how can the Dragonborn be rash? Later, this palace must show credit for my sister. Ni Guifei smiled, she looked at Su Mi's face, was her words true? Qiyan, that little girl really doesn't know.

It should be like this, I arranged it properly in Xifu Palace, and there will definitely be no mistakes, thinking of the surprised look of Qiyan I saw just now, Ni Guifei has already believed it. I can't imagine that this girl is so lucky!

At this time, the emperor arrived outside. Without waiting for the eunuch to finish speaking, Qi Long had already rushed in, he looked surprised, he didn't look at the concubines who had fallen down to Yingying, and came to Qiyan and asked eagerly, "But really?" ”

Imperial Physician Qin saluted and said: "According to the diagnosis of the lower officials, Liu Liangren is indeed a month pregnant, the pulse is peaceful, and the fetus is very safe. The queen next to her also bowed down and said, "Congratulations to the emperor!" ”

"Okay, good, quickly spread the Zhao Jin Liu family as a talented person." Qi Long's voice was full of joy, from a lover to a talented person, he had just been pregnant and promoted two levels in a row, which shows the emperor's desire for this child. He was twenty-two years old, but he never had a son. Although the concubines in the harem have also been pregnant several times, most of them have disappointed him, and so far, only Concubine Wen has given birth to a daughter safely.

Ni Guifei interjected beside her: "Since Sister Liu is pregnant, this punishment is based on the bad opinion of the concubine, it is better to copy the "Women's Training" again, and hand it over to the queen mother after the copying is completed." Can the queen mother and Sister Yun look at it properly? ”

"What punishment?" Qi Long couldn't help but ask.

Ni Guifei immediately said: "It's not that Sister Qiyan wore the wrong piece of Sister Yun's clothes just now, Sister Yun is unrelenting, and Sister Qiyan must be punished to kneel and apologize." "While recounting what happened just now." Speaking of which, thanks to Su's promise to speak for Sister Qiyan, otherwise Sister Qiyan might really think that this palace rule is far heavier than the emperor's heir, so she will obediently punish her for kneeling. ”

"It's just a piece of clothing, what's the punishment, as one of the six concubines and the master of the first palace, how can you be so narrow-minded?" Qi Long looked at Concubine Yun unhappily.

Concubine Yun felt so aggrieved in her heart, but no matter how much she was wronged, painful and lonely, at this time, she could only swallow it in her stomach and obediently kneel down to ask for her sin.

"Okay, okay, Sister Yun is just following the palace rules, and she is in a hurry, so don't blame the emperor." The queen reassured. "It's just that this time Su promised to have merit, and he has always been very dedicated to serving the emperor, so this part should also be promoted."

"Well, it's better to be promoted to a permanent presence." Qi Long looked at Su Mi on the side with a smile: "I have always known your virtuous lady. ”

Su Mi hurriedly knelt down and thanked him.

Qi Long smiled and helped her up, "I haven't seen you for a few days, are you feeling better?" Is that Korean ginseng edible? ”

Su Mi replied shyly one by one, and said, "The emperor should go and see Sister Qiyan." Now the heir is the most important. ”

Qi Long walked to Qiyan's side again, said a few words of comfort, and turned to the queen and said, "Queen, you are the master of the six palaces, and I also know your talents, so this time the child will be handed over to you." Be sure to take good care of it, don't miss it! ”

"The emperor has an order, how dare the concubines not be dissatisfied? It's just ......" The queen glanced at Ni Guifei quickly, and said: "Liu Cairen and Sister Ni have always been good friends, and they live in Xifu Palace, it is better to let the concubine and Sister Ni take care of Liu Cairen together, the concubine has always been careless, in case she doesn'......t take good care of the dragon vein, Sister Ni is as careful as a hair, considerate and thoughtful......" The queen said while looking at Ni Guifei with a smile.

Ni Guifei's face couldn't help but look a little ugly.

"Since that's the case, you and Ni Guifei will take care of it together," the emperor waved his hand absently.

Ni Guifei had no choice but to nod her head and accept the order.

The queen is also a shrewd person, and she reacted so quickly. Su Mi sighed secretly.

Today's incident is obviously Ni Guifei's means. instructed the palace maid to secretly change the clothes of the two. She calculated that Concubine Yun was very disgusted with Qiyan, and after discovering that her clothes were worn wrongly, she would definitely refuse to give up, and she would inevitably demand severe punishment.

For Qiyan's behavior, the worst is to be demoted and blocked, and the worst punishment is to kneel and be beaten.

Now that Qiyan is being favored, the queen will definitely not be punished heavily, most of them are to order the eunuch of the celebrant to beat a dozen boards, or punish him for kneeling for a few hours, no matter which one it is, most of the children in this belly will not be able to keep it. When the time comes, the emperor will investigate it, and Concubine Yun, who caused this matter, and the queen who dealt with this matter will not be able to get rid of the suspicion of "acting rashly and murdering the emperor's heir", even if the emperor knows that these two people are just unintentional, he will definitely not be happy in his heart.

killing three birds with one stone, not only got rid of the child, but also dragged the queen and Concubine Yun into the water, this trick is indeed clever.

It's just that the queen is not a fuel-efficient lamp, knowing that it is Ni Guifei's conspiracy, she naturally refuses to fall into this troubled water, how can she pull Ni Guifei down together, and now the two are jointly ordered to take care of this child, once there is an accident, no one can get out of it.

After this incident, the concubines naturally won't be in the mood to enjoy the flowers, and the emperor will accompany Qiyan back to Xifu Palace. All the concubines said goodbye one after another.

Afterwards, Qiyan also asked her secretly with a cowardly face: "How does my sister know that I am pregnant?" ”

Su Mi smiled: "I saw my sister talk about her vomiting and nausea that day, which reminded me that there were pregnant women in my family before." It's just that I'm not a doctor who understands medical skills, so I don't dare to say it to my sister, so as not to rejoice in the air, I originally thought that after a few days of seeing the doctor, I would naturally know the truth or falsehood. I didn't expect to encounter this kind of accident, but when I saw the crisis just now, I thought that it was too big, so I couldn't help but say it. ”

"But what if I don't get pregnant? Isn't my sister going to be punished? Thinking of the events of that day, Qiyan still has palpitations.

"The emperor's heir is big, what is my sister's punishment? Besides, how can I watch you suffer from kneeling before the temple? Su Mi said with a smile.

"My sister is so good to me," Qiyan said movingly, and instead lowered her head and muttered, "It's not like they ......"

Su Mi looked at her and sighed secretly, although this girl is simple, she is not stupid, she must have doubts about what happened that day.

"It's lively for Liu Cairen today," Mi Hong ran in excitedly, she had just gone to Xifu Palace with Xiao Luzi to send the gifts. "The emperor has rewarded a lot of things, I see that Liu Cairen's palace room will not be piled up, when we went, we just met the palace steward eunuch of the Queen Mother, with a team of little eunuchs holding a long box, I and Xiao Luzi listened to the name next to me, but it is terrible, the hairpin alone has everything to do with the hairpin, Mei Yingcai sheng hairpin, Jingfu long hairpin, Renfeng Pu fan hairpin, Tianbao chime hairpin, Qingyun Yongfu hairpin, green snow hairpin, Wannian auspicious hairpin, and sapphire dragonfly head flower, red coral cat butterfly head flower, golden silk play bead head flower, Yao Chi Qing offered a ...... of flowers," Mi Hong said happily while breaking her fingers.

"Okay, okay, enough is enough? You know that you are greedy. Mi Qing interrupted her impatiently.

Mi Hong saw that Su Mi's face was not very pleasant, and she retreated, but in the end she was still on the rise, and ran to the backyard to grab Xiao Luzi and talk endlessly.

Seeing Su Mi's thoughtful expression, Mi Qing asked, "What is the master worried about?" ”

"It's nothing, just remembering what happened this morning, I didn't expect the queen to be so shrewd, and she will have to be more careful in the future." Su Mi sighed.

That night, the emperor stayed at Concubine Wen's.

Late at night, Su Mi took out the pill that had just been configured a few days ago, and in the box of white jade, the small brown pill emitted a faint medicinal fragrance, and Su Mi picked one up and put it in his mouth.
