"Since you know I'm sick, you shouldn't have come, what did you have to do, how can I be good?" Hongyan said tiredly, please sit down, she didn't want to care about the affairs of Prince Rong's mansion, but at the moment, she couldn't help herself, and she seemed to be very unkind to see the guests, but fortunately, her complexion was there, and Qingque couldn't think about it.
"Niangniang, you have to take care, knowing that you suddenly fell ill and didn't go to Mulan with the car, I just wanted to come and see you." Qingque said with concern, "The doctor said that I go out and walk around more, and I can give birth when I turn back." ”
Hongyan thought of herself, and smiled without thinking too much: "It's good that you are young, you don't have to have so many scruples." ”
Qingque looked at Hongyan, and listened to the meaning of her words, and seemed to understand something in her heart, but since the emperor and the imperial concubine had not yet made a noise, she didn't dare to talk nonsense, just thinking that if she guessed it, would the blessing of the imperial concubine come at the right time?
"Nothing else but to look at me?" Hongyan said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't want to see you, I really have a limited body, and I'm worried about you." Sister Concubine Yu went to Mulan, but her heart must be in the capital, if she didn't want the emperor to spoil her fun, she wished she could guard you all the time. ”
Qingque smiled: "Yes, so when Eniang was in the capital, I didn't dare to go out, how many pairs of eyes looked at it." Actually, today......" she smiled embarrassedly, "It's also an excuse to visit you, but in fact, I just want to come out and walk around, and I'm not so tired when I'm pregnant, but I'm bored at home, I'm too tired." ”
Hongyan said unintentionally: "Won't the side Fujin talk to you?" When she said that, she regretted it a little.
Qingque's expression really dimmed, and said helplessly: "The Hu family guards her son, doesn't care about the outside affairs, and doesn't dare to step into the main courtyard for half a step, as for Fang Fujin, my sister was born prematurely and injured her body, saying that she will be raised for a long, long time, and E-niang won't let me go to her house, we are very rare to be able to speak." The rest is a room full of maids, staring at each other with big eyes, and they dare not make a sound when they are panting. ”
"Sanfujin is not coming to see you?" Hongyan really couldn't find words.
"Eniang said...... "Qingque was very embarrassed, "my cousin is young and widowed, her life is not good, and she is suspected of being a husband, so she told me not to have more contact with my cousin, at least until the child is born safely." ”
Hongyan was silent, thinking of Concubine Shu talking about Concubine Yu asking for a statue of Guanyin for Qingque, sure enough, even if the Bodhisattva Buddhism is boundless, she can't control people's hearts, people's hearts are in chaos, everything is messed up, how can a good and pitiful person like Sanfujin be inexplicably disliked.
"So you're bored?" Hongyan restrained her emotions and said gently: "Fortunately, when the child is born, you won't feel bored, and then you should envy that you can have time to be free at this time." ”
Qingque looked down at her high bulging belly, but the happy smile didn't last long, and gradually a trace of panic rose from the bottom of her eyes, as if talking to herself, and as if she was saying to Hongyan: "But if the child is born, it may not be safe, if it is a little brother, others should be jealous, I don't even have anyone who can help me." ”
Hongyan only pretended not to hear, and sure enough, Qingque himself forcibly mentioned it: "Niangniang, you still remember what I said to you before, the people of Fang Fujin's mother's family really don't want to look at me." ”
"You ......" Hongyan thought about how to put aside the trouble and how to take the topic away, but the door of the heart turned over for a while, and she couldn't help retching, and hurriedly dropped the teacup. Cherry and the other palace maids immediately came to the door, helped Hongyan to go to the bedroom, and when they saw Wufujin coming, Cherry hurriedly stopped and said politely, "Fujin, you sit, don't dare to move, the people here are clumsy, don't bump into you." ”
Qingque watched everyone help Hongyan away, she was more determined in her guess, and asked Cherry in a low voice: "Niangniang, is she happy?" ”
Cherry smiled: "What are you talking about, why don't you understand." ”
"Yes, yes?" Qingque felt embarrassed, but Cherry was a palace maid, and she really didn't have to care about the misunderstanding caused by just a few words like Hongyan, they could pretend to be stupid, and it was good to have a tight mouth.
Later, Qingque couldn't see Hongyan again, and was carefully escorted back to Prince Rong's mansion by everyone, she felt that the imperial concubine must be pregnant, and there was no one who could speak at home, so she repaired a letter and sent someone to Mulan. Although Yongqi will be back in a few days, she can't bear that day, she has too many things hidden in her heart, and she can't stuff anything more.
Hongyan was mentally exhausted because of the joy, and then tossed repeatedly, until the next day he was in better spirits, and he didn't want to be bored in the house, so he took people to Pinghu Qiuyue to talk to the concubine to relieve boredom, the concubine was already an old Bodhisattva-like figure, and when she looked at Hongyan, she smiled: "Our imperial concubine Niangniang is there again?" ”
Hongyan said helplessly: "I can't hide anything from you." ”
The concubine said: "In the years that you have been born in a row, I think Sister Tong must have attained the Tao in heaven and can cast spells and send you children." But this time, it seems that he must be old and confused again, how can I give it back to you. ”
Hongyan was in a better mood, and sought the concubine's advice: "According to what you say, the concubine should give birth to the child?" The concubines and the emperor are a little worried, afraid that if it is not good in the future, it will not even be good to take me and the child, so it is better to be ruthless now, don't let this child come to the world. ”
"It's time to think about it, you're not young." The concubine touched the back of Hongyan's hand and said, "But it's still fine-skinned and tender-fleshed, no wonder the emperor is so rare." ”
Hongyan's face turned red, and he said suddenly: "It's not careful." ”
The concubine said: "Sheng, do you remember that when you came here, I brought you tea?" At that time, how hard and difficult it was, maybe you were a person who had a blessed night, and even so, this child must be safe. It is also good for the fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother to have one more brother. ”
Hongyan nodded and said: "You can just guess the concubine's thoughts, and the concubine is reluctant, the child finally came, and he didn't do anything to him after taking so many medicines, this child must be very healthy." Imperial Physician He once said that the mother and child are the same, and since the child is healthy, the concubine will be fine. ”
The concubine said: "In a few years, Xiao Qike'er will have a family, and if Xiao 15 and 16 go to the study to study, you should be lonely, and it is good to have a little doll by your side." ”
"Yes, then this matter is decided, and the concubine will write a letter to the emperor, otherwise he can't hunt well and just worry about the concubine." Hongyan was so happy, she wrote a letter directly to the concubine, ordered someone to send it to Mulan quickly, and then accompanied the queen mother to talk for a long time before going back.
Qingque's letter and Hongyan's letter came to Mulan at the same time, and the letter of the imperial concubine was presented to her father through Yongqi's hand. Knowing that it was Hongyan's letter, Hongli immediately opened it to see, and saw that Hongyan's words were reassuring him, and decided to have this child, although Hongli was not at ease, but this matter was finally settled, and he was in a good mood, and hid the letter in his arms, and rode away with everyone on horseback.
Hongyan's letter allowed the emperor to enjoy the hunt more happily, and after staying in Mulan for four or five days as originally planned, he returned home, and after the saint drove to the capital, the first thing that came out of the Old Summer Palace was that the imperial concubine Niangniang was pregnant. In the past, Concubine Jia also gave birth to an eleventh elder brother at an advanced age, and it was not unusual to come to the imperial concubine, but she was just lamented by the miracle of the Wei family's great favor, and even the old years failed to defeat her.
After the carriage and horses settled, Yongqi unloaded everything and returned home, the people around Eniang had already come to visit Qingque, he coped with a few words and came to see his wife again, knowing that she was all right, and he was also relieved. Then he brought it up: "You remember to prepare a congratulatory gift for the imperial concubine, don't fall behind, if you don't have the energy, it's good to tell Fang Fujin to do it." Although the imperial concubine is not young, the emperor Ama should celebrate a happy event, how can we not be unsatisfied. ”
Qingque was surprised: "Didn't I tell you in the letter, I'm ready." ”
Yongqi wondered: "What letter, did you write to me?" ”
"The day after you go to Mulan, I will write to you, I will go to visit the imperial concubine in the garden, she has morning sickness in front of me." Qingque held his stomach and said, "I also asked you to tell Eniang, why don't you know, you didn't receive my letter." ”
Yongqi shook his head: "Except for the excerpt from the capital, I only received a letter from the imperial concubine to the emperor's arma, and it was just a hand, and it wouldn't reach me if someone else was on duty, and I didn't receive any more letters, who did you send?" ”
Qingque blinked, she just ordered her subordinates to do it, she really didn't think carefully how they would do it, and muttered to herself at the moment: "Could it be that someone from my sister's family sent someone to stop it?" ”
Yongqi asked, "What did you say?" ”
Qingque waved his hand again and again: "It's nothing, just check it out, probably the person who sent the letter lost the letter, and he was afraid of being blamed by us, so he simply pretended to be stupid." Really, we all know each other as soon as we meet. ”
Yongqi felt uneasy and asked his wife, "What is written in your letter?" Even if we lose it, we have a number in our hearts. ”
Qingque hurriedly said: "It's really nothing important, that is, I think the imperial concubine seems to be pregnant, let you also convey it to Eniang, these words don't matter." ”
Yongqi frowned and said, "It doesn't matter, but it's not good to flow out, wait for me to check it." He coughed dryly and said, "No matter where I go in the future, don't write to me, don't worry about you at home, I will always come back." If it's a big deal, I should know it before you tell me. ”
Qingque guessed that she was causing trouble to her husband by doing this, so she could only agree silently, but pulled Yongqi's sleeve and said: "I'm about to give birth, no matter what, don't take the emperor's errand, even if I go to Nanyuan and come back, there is some way to go, I'm afraid alone, I have no one else to rely on in this family except you." ”
