Chapter Ninety-Five: Fetal Movements

For Xue Chuling, this child came at an inopportune time. Sister Qi Shufei knew the news, but it could almost be said to be ecstatic. Because Concubine Qi Shufei is now powerful, it is not impossible for the prince who took away her sister to be raised under her knees.

She only lacks a son, so she can naturally win the throne. At that time, the stupid and stupid Lord Fufeng or the humble Lian Yueyang, as well as the An family who thought he was smart and deserved to be aborted, would not be left to her to clean up.

The more Concubine Qi thought about it, the more satisfied she became, and gently stroked the cuffs of the garnet-red wide-sleeved embroidered peony shirt with gold in one hand, and gently stroked Xue Chuling's lower abdomen with her well-maintained fingertips: "Has the child moved recently?" ”

Xue Chuling sat on the embroidery pier, her body stiff and did not dare to move, looking at the fanatical look in Concubine Qi Shu's eyes trembling imperceptibly, and said obediently: "Niangniang...... The concubine's child is only two months old, and where can she move. ”

Concubine Qi Shu showed a dissatisfied look: "What kind of concubine." The corners of her mouth hooked, and she sat on the upper seat of the Weiyang Palace, only to bring out two smiles, "This palace and you are sisters, you call me sister and I call you nine sisters, this is like a family." She took a sip of the brewed flower tea on the table, revealing satisfaction from the bottom of her eyes, "Where can I write two Xue characters in one stroke." The prince you are pregnant with is from the Xue family. ”

"Yes." Xue Chuling nodded, and said according to his words, "Sister Yan." Where it must be a prince, if it is a princess, it is also very good. ”

Concubine Qi frowned, threw the flower tea under the seat, and suddenly the hot tea splashed and stained Xue Chuling's upper. Concubine Qi Shu shouted: "You have to look forward to being a prince in order to be a prince!" The family inquired about the home remedies for the birth of two sons, and you ate them every day. This fetus may be a supreme honorable ......"

Xue Chuling tried his best to hide the fear in his heart: "...... Sister ......"

"It's my sister."

"Yes, sister." Xue Chuling squeezed out a little laughter, "Jing Jieyu's child is still born in front of the concubine." ”

"That despicable thing, not enough to worry about." Concubine Qi Shu sneered, "Is her eldest prince favored by His Majesty?" With her background, it's useless to give birth to ten or eight. Where is it more noble than the Xue family? The one in An's stomach, which was still a bit threatening, has now disappeared. ”

Xue Chuling covered his chest with a plain white satin handkerchief, and asked tentatively: "What about An's loss of a son?" Will anyone notice ......"

"She's something. It's just a yellow-haired girl, she doesn't understand anything. Concubine Qi didn't care, "In the end, the person who gave the advice is a little smart, this plan is really wonderful, a fire is burned clean, what else can be left?" I heard that An's hair was burned, and he was also sick and ugly, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to regain favor. As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves again, and his face became happy, "Tell me what that bad thing is doing." Let this palace touch our children again......"

"Yes......" Xue Chuling had an uncertain look on his face, and said in a wooden voice, "Sister Yan......"

As soon as July began, the days were unbearably hot.

Pillow Spring calmly played finch cards with magnolia, Su Bai, and cherry in the shade of the trees in the yard. She had excellent luck today, and she had just rounded up twice, but she saw Xiao Xizi leading Xiaodouzi and running in with many large and small brocade boxes.

Pillow Chun wiped a fortune on his hand, and his eyebrows and eyes were crooked: "What are you going to do in a hurry?" ”

Xiao Xizi hugged two wooden boxes with dark red flowers in his left hand, and wiped his sweat with his right hand: "The little master doesn't know." Today, the slave and Xiaodouzi went to receive the moon spardies and the distributed summer clothes and fruits, but they ate a lot of heads! ”

"What's going on?" Su Bai knocked the card and stepped forward to take the things in Xiao Xizi's hand.

Xiao Xizi hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Little master." Our Qi Yunxuan's monthly salary should be fifty taels according to Guiyi's share! But the people from the court division said that we Qi Yunxuan are now few people, and said that there is a lot of expenditure in the palace this month, and Concubine Qi Shuniang took thirty taels less to confiscate by example, and the court division also gave us thirty taels less. So saying, he took out a cloth bag containing the moon silver, and spread out twenty taels of silver.

Su Bai frowned: "Half of the money will be allocated to this person, and half of the expenses on weekdays will be arranged." ”

Pillow Chun skirt got up: "Twenty taels is good, I dragged people to sell the paintings of the palace before, didn't I exchange some money?" I'll draw two more and turn around. As he spoke, he gently removed the bracelet in his left hand and put it on the desk with a crisp sound.

Xiao Xizi was even more indignant when he heard it: "What is the identity of our little master, why do you need to paint for money!" ”

Pillow Chun smiled: "I haven't used my hand to paint for a long time, so it can be regarded as labor." ”

Xiao Xizi gritted her teeth: "It's all called some bastard things!" It is clear that these people deceive people too much...... So the servant went and took the cloth, clothes, and silk flowers, and told the servant that there was no more. The slave ran around the palace and was stunned that he didn't get anything! ”

Su Bai was puzzled: "Then what is the big bag and small bag you are carrying?" ”

"This ......" Xiao Xizi hurriedly presented it and opened it one by one to show Pillow Chun, "The slave met a girl at the back gate of Yongning Palace, and the girl didn't wear a waist card to sneak around, saying that Zhen Jieyu wanted to give it to the little master." ”

"Little Xue?" Pillow Chun chuckled, "She Xue Chuling is now glorious, what do you do by going through the back door, what does she want to give me." Then he looked over.

Xiao Xizi said: "The girl said, our little master has been sick, I'm afraid it's not good." What she sent was the most fashionable jasmine oil and color rouge for Lejing's hair now, and a small box cost five taels of gold! In particular, the black vanilla hair balm is said to be able to give rise to an inch of hair in a month. There are also those that can refresh people's spirits, which are said to be the Taizhen red jade paste used by the concubines of the Li Dynasty, and the tribulus tea of Princess Yongle who heals from the body. Then he stepped forward and whispered, "The girl said that it is inconvenient for Zhen Jieyu to come forward and give these things to the little master, so she can only send them secretly." He also said that he wished the little lord a speedy recovery and regain his grace. Zhen Jieyu is Concubine Qi's person, and the slave didn't dare to be careless, so she immediately asked Doctor Gao to see her. Doctor Gao said that they are all the best things. ”

Pillow Chun's fingertips swept over those splendid boxes one by one: "She's afraid." The woman is weak, but the mother is strong, and she has finally arrived at this day. Xue Chuling found that everyone couldn't fight Concubine Qi, and panicked, "Zhen Jieyu is kind, how can I refuse, then I will use it every day." Pillow Chun grabbed a strand of hair on his shoulder, this period of recuperation has grown a lot, and when he combs his hair into a bun, it is no different from usual, but it is slightly dull. Mu Beiyi does not admire women, but it is bright and beautiful in the end. Men, it's always the eyes that move first. Pillow Chunqing's eyes turned, and he called Xiaodouzi, "Come here." ”

Xiao Douzi Mu Ne is coarse, and he doesn't have much eye on weekdays, but when he saw Pillow Spring calling him, he happily went up: "The little master commands." ”

"You said your mother was sick, is she okay now?"

Xiaodouzi hurriedly knelt down again, and kowtowed stupidly: "Thanks to the silver rewarded by the little master, the slave's mother has taken two months of good medicine, and she is already well!" ”

Pillow Chun's head was raised, and Yulan took out another ten taels of silver to give to Xiaodouzi. He explained: "You take it back to make up for your mother's body, and the owner has something for you to do." Trouble your mother to go to the Pole Sound Workshop outside the Imperial City to find a musician named Mr. Nothing. Looking for this person, ask him in the name of Xiao Xizi what music will be played at the Qixi banquet. ”

Xiao Douzi hurriedly wrote it down and nodded: "The slave knows, the little master can rest assured!" And he thanked him and put away the money.
