Ninety-two princesses
Xie Ning was embarrassed to hang out this painting, and always felt embarrassed to let others see it. Some people refer to the thrush as the pleasure of the boudoir, and the emperor painted such a picture for her, and its privacy is no less than that of the thrush.
So, how can this be hung out in a grand way, so that everyone who passes by in front of the painting can have a great and generous view?
Her body was getting bulkier and heavier, but Xie Ning still walked in the courtyard of Yong'an Palace every day, once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and again after dinner. Qinghe was always afraid that she would be tired, she always felt that with such a precious dragon in her stomach, she should eat and drink well and lie down to raise it.
Fang Shanggong glanced at the stupid girl: "Have you ever been pregnant or born?" When the child boss has no strength to give birth, can he also let the slave and maid help give birth? ”
Qinghe suddenly blushed. She has never been pregnant or given birth, and no one has ever told her how to give birth to this child before? I remember that before she entered the palace, there were several children in the family, and there were many children in other families. But there are very few children in the palace, and the emperor has only three children, and two are crooked.
Thinking about it this way, it is really not easy to have a baby. If it were easy, so many concubines and beauties in the palace didn't have to work every day and only had to wait for the emperor to give birth, then the house full of dolls would have been born a long time ago?
Qinghe knew that he was wrong and corrected it, and humbly asked Fang Shanggong for advice on how to serve his master in peacetime. Fang Shanggong did not hide his selfishness when he taught it. In addition to some common folk avoidances, he also talked about many things that should not be eaten by pregnant people. Speaking of the end, Fang Shanggong sighed with emotion: "What Li Zhiling said was right, Xie Mei's physique is rare and good, the last time she had an accident with another person, she can still live safely, and now there is nothing wrong with it, I really want to thank the gods and Buddhas for their blessing." ”
Qinghe also hurriedly recited the Buddha with both hands, and asked, "Then according to what you say, when you are born, it is a big difficulty?" ”
"It may be difficult to change someone else, but I think Xie Meiren should be smooth."
Qinghe followed the recitation of the Buddha again: "God bless, you must be obedient." ”
As she was talking, Qingmei came in from outside, and hurriedly made a salute and said, "A guest has arrived." ”
Fang Shanggong knew from looking at her expression that this uninvited guest was afraid that his identity was not ordinary: "Who is it?" ”
"It's Princess Mingwei."
The emperor originally had five or six sisters, but only two of them survived to adulthood, and all of them were married. One is Princess Mingshou, the biological princess of the Empress Dowager and the emperor's sister. There is also Princess Mingwei, although she is not the same mother, but she is also a sister who is valued by the emperor, and she is very decent in front of the emperor. She will take the initiative to come to Yong'an Palace, and she can be called a distinguished guest.
Xie Ning had only seen Princess Mingwei twice before, both times when there was a big festival in the palace, and he had never spoken from a distance. Before, she was just a small person in the harem, and she didn't have the dignity to talk to the princess.
Xie Ning didn't dare to snub this distinguished guest, fortunately, he was dressed appropriately today, and he had a beaded silver tassel on his sideburns, and it would not be rude to add a smock outside. Since her belly was bulging day by day, Shainin has liked all kinds of smocks, which can cover her already out of shape figure, and it is very convenient to put one on when she goes out for a walk or a short reception. This lilac ruffled beaded blouse looks a perfect match for the sway she's just inserted on her head.
Qinghe helped her out.
Princess Mingwei was smiling and looking at the interior furnishings. If I hadn't known that Xie Meicai hadn't moved in for a long time, I would have thought that she had lived here for a few years. There are a few peach blossoms in the large vase by the window, and the spring light outside the window is particularly bright, as if spring has quietly spread into the house.
Xie Ning stepped forward to salute, Princess Mingwei returned the salute with a smile, and naturally stretched out her hand to help her sit down: "You are heavy, don't be polite." ”
"I don't know if the guests are coming, I miss the welcome, and please don't be surprised by the princess."
Princess Mingwei smiled amiably: "I should say this, and I came over recklessly without saying hello in advance." How's your body? I heard the royal brother say, there is almost a month to give birth? ”
Xie Ning glanced down: "That's what Signature Li said, the day before yesterday, he also said that this child is quite stable, maybe it will be postponed for a while." ”
"That's a better person, it's better to have a calm temperament than a rough hair." Princess Mingwei is a few years younger than the emperor, but compared with Xie Ning, she is much older, but she can look at the dress, Princess Mingwei looks delicate and bright, wearing a thin pearl headband on her forehead, her eyebrows are thin and curved, her nails are dyed rose red with flower juice, and she is wearing a palace dress embroidered with peony and flowers with gold thread on a light orange background, and the whole person is extraordinarily luxurious and beautiful.
Princess Mingwei and the emperor have different mothers, and they can't seem to find much similarity in appearance.
"I was particularly guilty when I was pregnant with Tang'er, I didn't stop vomiting all day long, I vomited what I ate, I gave birth before I was full-term, she was not good for a long time, and it has only been better in the past two years."
Princess Mingwei has been married to the horse for several years and gave birth to a son and a daughter. A few years ago, the princess went back to her hometown in Zhanyang with the horse to worship her ancestors, and for the first time in several years, she spent the New Year in the horse's hometown, and it was only a few days after returning to Beijing.
Princess Mingwei is very talkative, and it is not a chore to be with her. Speaking of all the things she saw and heard on the way back to her hometown years ago, Princess Mingwei was even more eyebrows dancing.
I heard that Princess Wei and Qiao Fuma are quite affectionate, and it seems that this is really true.
“…… The horse took me to the old house where he lived when he was a child, behind the study is a small garden, there is an old tree with a crooked neck, the horse also pointed out to me, saying that he climbed the tree when he was a child and was naughty, several times he was lazy and did not study, once he took a nap on it and did not catch it and fell down, not only knocked his knees swollen, but was also found by Mr. and punished him for copying books. At night, he was punished by the old man again, and he was injured and punished, not to mention how pitiful. ”
Shainin also laughed.
Princess Mingwei lowered her voice and leaned closer and said, "He also climbed again in front of me." ”
Xie Ning didn't expect Qiao to be so childlike, he usually heard people say that he was a good man with no temper, but he didn't expect that the couple would get along with him in private.
Climbing trees is nothing, and Shainin didn't climb trees less when he was a child. Although her aunt and cousin are committed to cultivating her into a beautiful girl, they still have times when they can't take care of it, the eldest cousin sometimes secretly plays together, Xie Ning will follow as a little tail, and she doesn't know what the boys play.
"I went into the palace today to take a look at the concubine, and when I came back, I went to Qingyun Palace, and it was still early, so I went to Yong'an Palace to ask for a cup of tea."
Speaking of Qingyun Palace, Xie Ning asked, "How is Concubine Xian's body?" ”
"It's still like that, there's still a brazier in the house in this weather, and it's thickly wrapped." Princess Mingwei said: "We knew her before, and she was not very good at that time, but she was better than now. It's not a way for her to procrastinate taking medicine to survive like this, I thought about whether to go back and talk to the imperial brother, and simply send her to the palace in Meishan, where there are hot springs, the climate is suitable, and it is also good for her illness. ”
Princess Mingwei and Concubine Xian are indeed about the same age, and it is likely that Concubine Xian had a good relationship when she was still in the boudoir. What Princess Mingwei said was indeed really thinking about Concubine Xian. It is said that there is no filial son in front of the bed of a long illness, and the closest relatives are still like this, let alone others. Although Concubine Xian is a high-ranking concubine in the palace, she can't ask questions because of her long-term illness, few people take her seriously, and no one usually goes to Qingyun Palace. Perhaps most people think that it is a bad place, and if you go there, you will be more or less contaminated.
Princess Mingwei didn't stay long, and after a few words of tea, she said a few words and left.
After she left, Xie Ning looked for Fang Shanggong to talk and ask more about the two princesses.
Fang Shanggong was in the palace for many years, and Xie Ning gradually discovered that there was nothing she didn't know. The two princesses used to be far away from Xie Ning's life, but today Princess Mingwei came to remind her once, I am afraid that when I see these two princesses in the future, there will be more and more of them, and it is not harmful to inquire more. Otherwise, I don't know anything, and I don't know if I have violated the taboo of others. Fang Shanggong really knew a lot.
"Princess Mingshou was still there when she got married, and she was very fond of this daughter, and the dowry list alone had to be filled with a box. The first lift has already entered the princess's mansion, and the last lift has not yet left the palace gate. ”
It's a big show.
It is said that the emperor's daughter is not worried about getting married, and the princess Mingshou has all the dreams of women in the world, and she can really be called the proud daughter of heaven.
"Princess Mingshou's concubine's surname is Zhang, the second son of An Tinghou, and his appearance and character are all first-class candidates, and he is the son-in-law selected by the Queen Mother. Zhang Yuma is a young man, and it is inevitable that he doesn't know how to be humble, and the two often bump into each other after marrying Princess Mingshou. Rumors say that Princess Shou once killed several maids of the horses, and the horses have not stepped into the princess's mansion for half a year. ”
Xie Ning's brows furrowed slightly, and Qinghe's face was slightly strange on the side.
The men in the world are all the same, how can there be anyone who is not romantic and does not love beauty? But being a colt is no different from an ordinary man. Other men can have three wives and four concubines, but not horses. Others need to be small and low when they marry into their in-laws' family, but the concubine has to live in the princess's mansion and become a vassal of the princess. You can't be an official in the court, you can't lead troops as a general, just like a caged bird raised by a princess.
Fang Shanggong took a sip of tea and continued: "The Queen Mother specially called the concubine into the palace to persuade her a few times, and the two barely got along. But at the end of that year, Mrs. Antinghou was seriously ill, and some people said that Princess Mingshou was angry with her mother-in-law, and the relationship between the concubine and the princess cooled down again. ”

I still feel that the wind is so cold when I go out today.
