It's October in the blink of an eye, and there are two major events in the harem, one is that the imperial concubine is about to give birth, and the other is the triennial draft.

Fulin now has Jia Yin, and Jia Yin also accepts him with an open heart, how can he still let go of other women in his eyes.

If nothing else, let's just say that the queen mother went to Nanyuan to recuperate, and she has not been in the palace for more than a month.

During this period of time, all the harem left behind was forgotten by the emperor, you must know that he used to even "wet the rain and dew", all in order to show in front of his mother, so as not to affect Jiayin's sole favor.

For more than a month, Eniang has not been in front of her, and Fulin no longer has to deal with other women, and the only thing she wants to see every day is Jiayin.

Having said that, the court is busy, and Fulin Rili can't finish the world's affairs, and there is very little time to really get along with Jiayin.

He did not let himself become a faint monarch who was obsessed with lust, and the imperial concubine was gentle and virtuous, and she was originally a virtuous and stable person.

Every few days, Jiayin will send the scriptures she copied for the Queen Mother, occasionally write poems, and also send them to invite the Queen Mother Yazheng, Yu'er has a lot of correspondence with this child, Yuan Xi is always on the side: "Sister Jiayin, why can she sit still like this, pregnant people are easily irritable, how can she calm down and write so many words." ”

Yu'er said angrily: "Think everyone is like you, jumping up and down like a monkey? Xuan Ye is so old, I want you to accompany me to recite the scriptures, and there seems to be a needle pricking your ass on the futon. ”

Yuan Xi pouted: "That concubine is also the best-looking among the monkeys." ”

Yu'er couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Xuan Ye was really born by you?" Such a small man, very well-behaved, sitting for two hours at a time, how did he do it? I gave birth to four children, and none of them were able to sit quietly for two hours at Xuan Ye's age, let alone listen to lectures and write, which is really incredible. Among the many children of the first emperor, he has never seen such a child, Xuan Ye is really amazing. ”

Yuan Xi held back a smile and lowered his head to cover it.

"Laughing at what? Am I wrong? Yu'er asked.

"Queen Mother, Yuan Xi is laughing at you, praising your grandson for his unsparing words, just like that princess selling melons." Balya held the crystal clear peeled and tendoned grapefruit meat, put it down and said, "The slave took your granddaughters to peel it, please ask the imperial grandmother to taste it." ”

"Send some to Xuan Ye." Yu'er said naturally, "Girls, don't eat too much, you won't be able to eat lunch for a while." ”

Yuan Xi was glaring at her sister because of Balya's piercing of her, Balya ignored her, Yuan Xi was unwilling, and secretly scratched Balya, and the two of them quarreled until they went out.

Seeing the harmony and friendship between the two, Yu'er was very emotional, when she was young, except for her aunt and sister, everyone else was a slave in her eyes.

"Yuan Xi, you go back to the palace." When Yuan Xi came back, Yu'er instructed, "One will go to see the imperial concubine and Chen Concubine for me, and then invite Concubine Shu to come to the island, and by the way, bring Qifujin here." You girls are dangling in front of me all day long, and it's annoying, I just want to talk to my peers. ”

Yuan Xi said: "The Queen Mother...... Don't you want your concubines to look at the emperor? ”

Yu'er sighed disappreciatively: "Yes, greet Fulin for me again." ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, Yuan Xi looked unhappy and distressed, and Yu'er smiled and said, "Okay, okay, it's me who is not, I forgot my son, I forgot your emperor." ”

Yuan Xi smiled at this time, and after receiving the order, he happily returned to the palace while it was still early.

When Fu Lin went to the next court, he saw Yuan Xi waiting outside the side gate of the Qianqing Palace, after a farewell of more than a month, he was naturally happy to see him again, Yuan Xi saluted and said: "The Queen Mother sent her concubines to visit the emperor and Sister Jiayin." ”

Fu Lin helped her up and said, "Your complexion is good, Nanyuan is pure, and you really support people." ”

They walked to Chengqian Palace, Jia Yin's belly was already very big, but there was still no meat, and there was no plump beauty of other pregnant women, Yuan Xi held Jia Yin's hand and sighed: "How do you feel, your arms are thinner." ”

Jia Yin said frankly: "I haven't slept well in the past few days and nights, but fortunately, the imperial doctor said that it would be good to endure it a little longer." ”

Yuan Xi smiled and asked, "What do you want to do most after my sister gives birth?" ”

Jia Yin supported her waist with her hands, and she didn't have any thoughts after thinking about it for a long time, but Fu Lin was on the side and silently wrote it down.

Fu Lin sat down and left, and Jia Yin accompanied Yuan Xi to greet Concubine Shu, and asked Concubine Shu to pack some luggage and go to the island to stay.

On the way back and forth, the sisters talked about a lot of things inside and outside the palace, especially the draft in the second half of the year.

"The queen will come back to preside over when the time comes, and I should come back too." Yuan Xi said, "Sister don't have to worry about it, you can rest assured that you will be confined." ”

Jia Yin said guiltily: "The Queen Mother was seriously ill before, I can't serve in front of the bed for a day, I feel very uneasy, when I am out of confinement, let me go to Nanyuan to serve the Queen Mother for a few days?" ”

"Anyway, the emperor doesn't care, and the queen mother has no shortage of sisters to serve." Yuan Xi said bluntly, "But if my sister can't get over it, I can arrange it." ”

"I'm sorry for you." Jia Yin was very religious, "This is my duty." ”

Yuan Xi said: "There is one thing that my sister can do for the Queen Mother." In the past few days, the queen mother will mention the eldest princesses from time to time, and it would be great if my sister could ask the emperor to decree that the two eldest princesses would be brought to the capital to accompany the queen mother for the winter. ”

Jia Yin nodded again and again: "I will say it tactfully, don't worry." ”

After Jia Yin returned to the Chengqian Palace, Yuan Xi took the reward of the Queen Mother, and successively came to visit Chen Concubine and Krinara to promise, Chen Concubine is also the head of the first palace, there is nothing to worry about, but Yuan Xi saw the situation in Krinara's house, and couldn't help but worry.

"I haven't prepared how to connect with the mother-in-law and the imperial doctor, this is about to give birth in the blink of an eye." Yuan Xi said.

"Concubine Tong Niangniang, the emperor ordered all the imperial doctors and midwives to be on call at any time for the imperial concubine." Krinara said timidly, "The concubine, there is something wrong, please go and ask again." ”

The little palace maid on the side interjected: "Concubine Tong, even if you invite them, they won't come." ”

"Why don't you come?"

"I'm afraid that there will be anything in the Chengqian Palace."

The Krinara clan stopped the little palace maid: "Don't talk nonsense. ”

Yuan Xi sighed lightly, and said that she would make arrangements, reassure the Krinara clan not to be afraid, and also asked her not to mention these things in front of others, everything will be born safely, and someone will definitely make decisions for her.

Yuan Xi thought about it for a long time, and he couldn't tell Jia Yin about this matter, nor could he tell the Queen Mother, but he didn't necessarily see that when Krinara gave birth, there were no two midwives.

Yuan Xi privately arranged a few old ladies who had accumulated years of life and ordered them to take care of the Krinara clan, and that's all he could do now.

When waiting for Concubine Shu, she waited for Concubine Ning first, she came to see Yuan Xi and brought some filial things, and asked Yuan Xi to transfer them to the Queen Mother.

Yuan Xi saw that the box containing the snacks was all extremely delicate lacquerware, and then looked at Ning Concubine's current jewelry, and faintly guessed in his heart what Ning Concubine had done these days.

"There is no one in front of the Krinara clan to serve, and I hope that Sister Ning will bother." Yuan Xi simply said to her, "Take care of the imperial heir, and the queen mother will definitely reward you." ”

Concubine Ning agreed with a smile, and soon after Concubine Shu came, Yuan Xi wanted to take Concubine Shu to Nanyuan, so she said goodbye to Concubine Ning.

Concubine Ning stopped at Shunzhen's door to see each other off, and sneered in her heart, why did she take care of the Krinara clan, the fewer women who gave birth to sons in this palace, the better.

On the way back to Nanyuan, I passed through Prince An's mansion and picked up Prince An's mother, Qifujin.

Coincidentally, the carriage met the carriage of the Lord's Mansion along the way, and Donggu got out of the carriage and saluted Concubine Shu, Qifujin and Yuan Xi, but they only exchanged a few words of greeting to each other and dispersed.

However, Qifujin said to Concubine Shu: "Why is Dong Gu still not married, the queen mother is too dependent on her, and many people in the clan are gossiping, saying ugly things, saying that this child raises male pets in the house." ”

Concubine Shu frowned when she heard this: "Why bother, poor children, they also can't bear to frame the arrangement, it's really rotten." ”

Yuan Xi was silent on the side, and Shun Shun sent the two concubines Fujin to the queen mother, and when the sisters of the same age spoke, she naturally retreated.

Balya had already taken the palace maid to clean up the dormitory for Qifujin and Concubine Shu, Yuan Xi came over to take a look, but only one person stood sullenly outside the door, and when Su Mala came, he happened to see it.

"Why is the mother unhappy?" Su Mala came over and said with a smile, "I didn't see the emperor, but I still ......"

"Neither." Yuan Xi knew what her aunt wanted to say, "The emperor came to talk to me, everything is fine." Just ......"

"Can't you say it to the slave?" Su Mala said, "Then the slave and maid won't ask." ”

Yuan Xi hesitated, but swallowed, and deliberately diverted the topic and said, "Qifu Jin is going to marry the lord of Donggu County." ”
