On this day, Yong'an Palace was still about the same as usual. Eight (< a Chinese ))).〉8〉1) got up early in the morning and the emperor left first, there was a big court meeting today, and I hurriedly ate a few bites of breakfast. Then the eldest prince followed, went to the study after breakfast, and then walked away with Princess Yuyao.

Only Xie Ning and the second prince and mother and son are left. The more the second prince walks now, the nurse and the palace maid who serve him will not be able to relax, and they will not dare to relax for a moment, for fear that they will run away if they can't see the little master at a glance, or if they stumble somewhere, even if they break a little oily skin, they will not be able to eat and walk around.

If there is anything different today, there are also things that are different from the usual.

Today, Mrs. Lin came into the palace.

is not to enter the palace on the fifteenth day of the first month to ask for peace, but to enter the palace to take care of Xie Ning to give birth. This time I came in, I had to wait until Shainin gave birth before I left the palace.

It can be said that this is the thing that Shainin is most happy to look forward to in recent days. The house where Mrs. Lin used to live had already been cleaned up, and Fang Shanggong ordered someone to carefully dust and smoke incense from all corners of the house a few days in advance, and specially assigned Xia Hong and another palace maid, Han Chun'er, to serve carefully. After all, Mrs. Lin is also an old person, and it is by no means easy for her to enter the palace to accompany the concubine to give birth.

"Uncle, come and sit down." Shainin held his stomach in one hand and smiled. She couldn't wait to go out for a long time, but first, it was not polite, and secondly, she was too heavy now, and someone watched her every move, for fear that something would go wrong.

None of the people who were waiting on the side were fools, they all knew how important Mrs. Lin was in the heart of the concubine, but the concubine was raised by Mrs. Lin, so it can be said that she is not a mother and daughter, but a mother and daughter. So after Mrs. Lin entered the palace gate, she was to pay homage according to the ceremony, but the people on both sides stepped forward to hold Mrs. Lin one on the left and one right, so that Mrs. Lin's knees didn't have time to bend down, and then they helped Mrs. Lin to sit down, and the tea fruits were also put up.

Seeing Mrs. Xie Ninglin, she breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't see anyone, and she couldn't rest assured these days. Shainin is about to give birth, and now he can't afford even the slightest risk.

Now that she looks good and is in good spirits, Mrs. Lin can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing the second prince who was rarely sitting next to Xie Ning honestly, Mrs. Lin's eyes were crooked with a smile, and she lowered her voice to greet: "Hello second prince." ”

The second prince did not speak as neatly as he walked, and even the shouting was vague until now. Of course, he was not as familiar with Mrs. Lin as the others around him, and he didn't have to count on the title. But when the second prince saw that Mrs. Lin didn't recognize her life at all, and knew that Mrs. Lin was calling him, he raised his head and smiled at Mrs. Lin, his eyes narrowed into two slits with a smile.

"Have you accounted for everything at home? You're tired all the way to the palace, aren't you? ”

Mrs. Lin held her hand, and now Xie Ning didn't have much meat on her body.

"I wasn't tired at all on the road, the palace specially called someone to pick me up, and the car walked very steadily on the road. Your eldest cousin is in charge of the affairs of the family, I have almost left it alone in the past two years, her housekeeper is a good hand, thoughtful and capable, and your little aunt is there to help, even if I don't go back for a year, it doesn't matter. ”

Xie Ning immediately answered: "Then you can stay, it's not too late to go back after a year and a half." ”

Mrs. Delin also laughed when she said this: "If you are about to be the mother of two children, how can you talk like a child, making people laugh." ”

As soon as Mrs. Lin came, these people who were serving around Xie Ning were all relieved. As soon as Mrs. Lin came, Xie Ning became more talkative and laughing, and her spirit was much better than a few days ago. When it was time to eat at noon, Mrs. Lin coaxed and persuaded her, and Xie Ning also ate several more bites of food.

Usually, in order to let Xie Ning eat a few more bites, the people in the dining room have not put much effort into it, and every time they present a meal, they can't wait to prepare all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, just because the concubine's taste has changed after pregnancy, and those who loved to eat before may not love to eat now, and those who can eat yesterday may not have an appetite today. Prepare a few more things, and you may be able to eat an extra bite or two.

But as soon as Mrs. Lin came, she ordered that there should be no such trouble. At lunchtime, Xie Ning put two side dishes and a bowl of noodles in front of him. The two side dishes seem to be very shabby, one dish is cold green beans and vegetarian ham shreds, set aside balsamic vinegar, it tastes slightly sour, and it is particularly refreshing. The same is the longan-sized clear soup meatballs, all the oil oozing from the meatballs is skimmed, it tastes fragrant but not greasy, and it feels very chewy when biting.

Xie Ning ate two meatballs, ate almost half of a bowl of noodles, and drank some soup, which was better than Mrs. Lin's appetite before she came. After taking a break, Mrs. Lin accompanied Xie Ning for a walk in the small garden of Yong'an Palace for a while. The weather is hot, Shainin's body is heavy, and he doesn't have much effort to sweat. Mrs. Lin wiped her sweat distressedly and helped her sit on the stone drum bench under the tree to rest.

There was no one else in front of her when she walked, and Mrs. Lin didn't talk as much as she did when she was in the hall.

"How do you look at your face, there is no flesh on your body, is there anything else to worry about?"

"There was nothing else to worry about...... I just thought I was going to give birth, and I was a little scared. ”

Although it is not the first time, but when a woman gives birth to a child, it is like going to the ghost gate, how can she not be afraid? Not to mention how many people in the palace are staring at Yong'an Palace openly and secretly, whether it is the last time or this time, there are people secretly playing ghosts, hoping that the child in Xie Ning's belly will not be born.

"A few days ago, I went to Zhulin Temple to offer incense and asked for a stick."

"What is it?"

"Upper-middle." Speaking of which, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but feel a little regretful, it would be nice if a branch was signed, of course, the middle and upper were also good: "The one who unsigned said that it was a good sign, although there were small twists and turns, but it would definitely be able to make all wishes come true." You don't have to be afraid, the emperor is here, those ghost tricks can't hurt you, you just have to eat and sleep well and save up enough strength, and when the time comes, you can give birth to the child in one go. ”

"You said it lightly, and you still have a bang?" Xie Ning stroked his stomach with his hand: "I really want to give birth soon." "When I was born, my heart was steady.

Mrs. Lin took half a step back and looked at her stomach carefully: "It's not very obvious, does the imperial doctor see whether it is a man or a woman?" ”

"Nope." Xie Ning shook his head: "Even Li Zhizhi didn't dare to make a judgment." The emperor said that whether it was a prince or a princess, he liked it all the same. ”

The emperor just said this just before yesterday, and he thought of a few princess names to choose from.

The emperor could say this, which made Mrs. Lin feel greatly relieved. In her mind, the emperor should naturally want to add two more princes, and this is probably just to ease Xie Ning's heart, so that she doesn't always think crankily and be afraid.
