Bai Junzhuo frowned slightly, and hesitated: "It's just ......"

Apricot Zi's heart was pinched, and she hurriedly said: "Miss, as soon as you say 'just', the slave's heart will chuckle, should the Queen Mother really want to harm you?" ”

Bai Junzhuo shook his head: "That's not true, I just think the smell of this incense is a little familiar, and it seems to have smelled it somewhere." ”

Apricot sniffed vigorously and replied, "This is the first time the slave has smelled such a smell." ”

Bai Junzhuo thought for a while, and said helplessly: "That's it, it's just a spice, even if you smell it, it's not a big deal, it's not poisonous anyway." ”

After speaking, the cook and Mama Huang brought breakfast in, and Bai Junzhuo sat down to eat breakfast. Mama Huang went over to pack up the futon, and Bai Junzhuo took a bite of the red bean cake and asked, "Mama Huang, didn't this quilt just change sides the day before yesterday?" It's winter, and now it's snowing, so you don't have to wash so often. ”

Mama Huang sighed and smiled helplessly: "Isn't the slave and maid idle and have nothing to do?" When the prince was young, he was always taken care of by the slave and maid, and then the prince grew up, and the slave and maid were also old. The prince doesn't care, the slave and maid can't eat and drink for nothing, so the slave and maid do what they can, which is also more comfortable. ”

Hearing her say this, Bai Junzhuo was a little moved. Although Yin Xun was raised by the Queen Mother's side, after all, she was not the Queen Mother's biological son, no matter how fair she was, there would still be a gap between her and the emperor. It's just that Mama Huang is different, Mama Huang must be dedicated to Yin Xun and raise him as a son.

Bai Junzhuo didn't say anything anymore, only nodded and said, "Well, it's hard work Mama Huang." ”

Mama Huang suddenly replied with some flattery: "It's not hard, it's not hard, this is what a slave should do." ”

After eating, Bai Junzhuo went to discuss with Jia Shantang about planting rice bags, and decided to start planting in February of the following year, and during this period, she would send people in the chamber of commerce to collect all the rice bags and black incense that circulated among the people of Li and prohibit circulation.

After sending Jia Shantang away, going to the Chamber of Commerce for another day, and returning to the palace in the middle of the night, Bai Junzhuo couldn't help but feel a little overdrawn.

Although Siwei died, her body improved, but she couldn't help the busy work all day, and the child in her womb was getting older, so she really had to rest and prepare for childbirth.

Apricot took off the hairpin in her hair on the side, and said to her with concern: "Miss, everyone will get fat when they are pregnant, look at you, you are thin like this, the slave and maid are distressed when they look at it." ”

Bai Junzhuo pinched his face and nodded: "I also know that this Wuxiang matter is solved, I won't be so busy in the future, I can have a good rest." ”

Apricot nodded: "Miss must eat white and fat in order to give birth to a big fat boy." ”

Bai Junzhuo laughed out loud, and said to her helplessly: "I know, I know, look at you, I think the child in my womb is more important than me, and I will be jealous if I continue like this." ”

Apricot was stunned for a moment, and said nervously: "No, no, Miss is the most important thing in the slave apricot, no one can compare to Miss." ”

Bai Junzhuo looked at the apricots in the mirror, and couldn't help but smile: "I'm joking with you, look at you nervous." ”

Apricot breathed a sigh of relief, and after plucking the beads, she was about to serve Bai Junzhuo to wash her face, but Bai Junzhuo picked up a comb to comb her hair, and Apricot watched Bai Junzhuo's movements blankly, and only muttered for a while: "Since that fire, Miss has changed a lot, and the slave maid sometimes even feels that Miss is not the Miss she used to be." ”

Bai Junzhuo snapped and broke the wooden comb in his hand, and he didn't feel his heart tighten. About the truth about her, it's okay to tell Yin Xun, but it's not okay to tell anyone else.

She was thinking about what excuse she was going to use to prevaricate the past, when she heard Apricot say again: "In the past, Miss used to say that brushing her hair at night would touch her hair, and she never brushed her hair at night. Only after that fire, the young lady always liked to comb her hair at night. The slave maid felt strange at first, but there was no difference between the young lady and the original, so the slave and maid pressed this doubt deeply in her heart. ”

Only then did Bai Junzhuo realize that she had always underestimated this little girl, she could detect the difference between her and the original Bai Junzhuo, and she also knew that she would hide this doubt in her heart and not ask it, and she knew that she should raise these questions at the right time. Now that there is no one around, only his most loyal henchman, it is really the best time to explain. And if she didn't want to answer, she wouldn't be angry because of the peaceful atmosphere.

Bai Junzhuo was silent for a long time, looked down and saw the box sent by Jia Shantang on the dresser, and suddenly remembered something, picked up the box and said: "How can this thing be put here, apricot, you go and pick this up and put it away." ”

Apricot didn't bother with the question just now, took the box, and asked curiously, "Miss, what is this?" ”

"It's the ancestral scroll of the Bai family, although it's not very useful, but it's a family heirloom after all. But put it away. ”

Apricot nodded and said seriously: "Don't worry, Miss, the slave will take it down." ”

Bai Junzhuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This girl is not like Yin Xun, Yin Xun first knew her, but Apricot has been with the original Bai Junzhuo for more than ten years. If she really knew that she was not the original Bai Junzhuo, I don't know if she would be so loyal to herself.

But fortunately, now she doesn't know.

*

Before the next morning, Bai Junzhuo brought some excellent precious medicinal materials into the palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace, and went to thank the Queen Mother for giving her incense.

The Queen Mother saw that she had a big belly, asked someone to sit down, and instructed: "You are getting older and older this month, don't work so hard, leave everything to Xun'er to do." ”

Bai Junzhuo smiled and said: "The concubine obeys the order, in fact, the concubine hasn't been very busy recently, thinking that she doesn't need to go to the court, and she is idle, so she helps the prince do what she can." ”

The Queen Mother sighed: "You are sensible, if Yunyue had half of your worries, she would not end up like this." ”

When Bai Junzhuo heard her mention Fu Yunyue, he was shocked, thinking that the Queen Mother was afraid that she was blaming her, so he lowered his head and did not speak.

The Queen Mother saw that she looked guilty, and it was not easy to continue, so she said: "It's not early, the mourning family is also going to the court, you go back first." ”

Bai Junzhuo was on the verge of amnesty, got up and said goodbye.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Jingyang Palace, he saw Fang Yi, the maid beside Fu Mingyue, coming to Bai Junzhuo's side, bowing and saluting: "The slave has seen the nine princesses, I don't know if the nine princesses are free today, Shu Guifei Niangniang invited the nine princesses to go to the palace for a gathering." ”

"She's really well-informed," Bai Junzhuo couldn't help laughing, and nodded, "I'll go over now." ”

When he arrived at the Rain Palace, Bai Junzhuo walked straight in.

Bai Junzhuo has also been in the future for many days, and when he came back today, he found that there were more heavy curtains in the hall than in previous days, and the whole room was filled with a faint fragrance, which was the same as the one given to her by the Queen Mother.

When Fu Mingyue saw Bai Jun coming over, she pulled her to sit down with a smile, looked her up and down, and said, "Look at you, you've lost weight like this." Look at me again, I'm as fat as you two. You can't do this, it's not good for the fetus in the womb. ”

Bai Junzhuo said helplessly: "I naturally understand, but there are really a lot of things to worry about these days." ”

"Fu Yunyue is dead, what else is there for you to worry about in your mansion?" Fu Mingyue couldn't help asking: "The Nine Princes are really, it's all this time, and you are still busy with this and that all day long." ”

Bai Junzhuo hurriedly excused him and said: "That's not the case, the prince is very good to me, but I can't be idle myself, so I have to be busy with this and that." ”

Fu Mingyue couldn't help sighing: "You, it's hard work." ”

Bai Junzhuo smiled: "I know, I shouldn't be too busy in the future, I can just raise the baby with peace of mind." ”

Fu Mingyue nodded, looked at Bai Junzhuo's belly thoughtfully, and sighed involuntarily after a while.

Bai Junzhuo hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Last time, you and I designed to get rid of Fu Yunyue, it seemed that Fu Hou was angry, and the Queen Mother was also suspicious of me." Fu Mingyue smiled slightly bitterly: "In their hearts, Fu Yunyue is the real daughter of the Fu family." ”

Bai Junzhuo felt very uncomfortable when he heard her say this, and held Fu Mingyue's hand and said, "I'm sorry, it's all because of me." ”

"No, it's not your fault." Fu Mingyue shook her head again and again and said: "This account book belongs to me and the Fu family, even if it is not for you, I will settle it." ”

"But the Queen Mother doesn't believe you anymore, you're in the palace, I'm afraid it's not easy, right?"

Fu Mingyue chuckled: "No matter what, my surname is also Fu." I still have His Majesty's child in my womb, and I am a trump card for the Fu family to consolidate its power. What's more, His Majesty really protects me. ”

Bai Junzhuo nodded: "I'm outside, working hard but not hard, and you are in the palace, I guess you are more tired than me." ”

Fu Mingyue smiled faintly: "Who says it's not, I just hope that Your Majesty can regain power as soon as possible, and I can live an easy life." ”

Bai Junzhuo nodded: "But I'm not in a hurry for a while, I just hope that when our child is born, the prosperous world will be peaceful, and there will be no such cumbersome things." ”

"Hmm." Fu Mingyue nodded, and said: "By the way, there is a battle report from the border pass, saying that your brother has made great achievements in the war, and the Southern Barbarian Kingdom was caught off guard, and he will soon return to the dynasty with the four princes." ”

Speaking of Bai Xu, although he is not the brother of his mother's compatriots, he can be regarded as her relative. Now when I come back, I can find an official position in Chang'an City, and I can also take care of each other.

"Really?" Bai Junzhuo was very happy when he heard this: "Great, when my brother and the fourth prince come back, Your Majesty will also have helpers by his side, presumably soon, our good days will come." ”

Fu Mingyue nodded in agreement, and when she was talking, she saw Fang Yi come in and say that the Queen Mother had sent someone to send something to Concubine Shu, and Bai Junzhuo got up to avoid the Queen Mother's suspicions, so he got up and left the palace.

The next few days were particularly leisurely and peaceful, Bai Junzhuo ate, slept and slept until Yin Che and Bai Xu returned victoriously.

That day, the weather was clear, Yin Mu held a dinner party for Yin Che to catch the wind and wash the dust, Bai Jun was inconvenient to participate with a big belly, so only Yin Xun went over alone.

Bai Junzhuo sent Yin Xun to the door and said, "It's cold, come back early." ”

Yin Xun chuckled: "I know." ”

He turned over his horse, and a bright moon was as big as a jade plate above his head.

Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and in a blink of an eye, it is almost the end of the year.
