Concubine Shu put down her chopsticks and said unhappily: "What kind of place is Zhongcui Palace, but I can't afford to receive a noble person like her, Fukangan is just the son of a minister, and I can't afford the emperor's concubine to congratulate her, let her go back." ”

Chunmei said embarrassedly: "Concubine Xin Niangniang brought a lot of gifts, just wait in front of the door, if you send the palace maid to pass the word first." Everyone is here, even if they are sent back, all the ladies are here, and they shouldn't be slaves and maids to talk about it. ”

Hongyan was about to get up, but was pulled by Concubine Shu, she kindly pushed Concubine Shu's hand away and said, "I also said that let her move around more if she has nothing to do, don't worry, I won't implicate you if there is anything." ”

"Who is afraid that you will be implicated?" Concubine Shu snorted lightly, "I'm not even happy to see you wading into muddy waters." ”

But Concubine Yu also persuaded that the guests who came to the door were guests, so they should be careful, let Fo'er lead Yu'er and Concubine Shu to sit together, don't mess around, and let the palace maids and eunuchs serve tea and food more slowly, and told them all the way, Hongyan and Concubine Qing arrived at the door.

When Concubine Xin saw Concubine Ling come out in person, she was about to come forward to salute, but Concubine Qing hurriedly supported her and said with a smile: "Look at some of the body, but don't dare to move." ”

"Thank you, sister, I'm only a little tall now, and the doctor said that in another month, I will be significantly bigger." Concubine Xin said suddenly, glanced at Concubine Ling, there was an inexplicable meaning in her eyes, and slowly followed them into the door, Concubine Yu had already arranged a wide and comfortable seat, and said politely, "I didn't expect you to come, add a pair of chopsticks temporarily, sister, don't mind." ”

Concubine Xin hurriedly said: "It was originally a concubine who was abrupt, but when I heard the laughter here in Zhongcui Palace, I was really itching, and I wanted to come and have a good time." ”

Concubine Shu pulled Yu'er to her, tied her pigtails again, and said lukewarmly: "It's better for you to stay in the Chengqian Palace, the Queen Mother has repeatedly ordered others not to disturb you, you said that you heard the excitement of Zhongcui Palace and wanted to come and see, and it came out of other people's mouths, it should be us who are noisy and hinder your peace." ”

Concubine Xin looked very uneasy, and she didn't know what to say to deal with it, Hongyan and Concubine Yu both understood that if they didn't mention it, it would be over, and she had to point out that Concubine Shu was not, so she was energetic. But seeing Ruyin get up and lead Yu'er forward to salute, Concubine Xin said politely: "It should be me who congratulates Xifu Jin." He looked at Yu'er again and said, "Miss is really cute, she is really the daughter of Fucha Fujin, and she will definitely be a great beauty in the future." ”

Yu'er is still young, the adult's words are not understood, seeing that Xin Concubine is gentle and beautiful, children like such people, so she took out one of the candy in her purse and handed it to Xin Concubine, when Ruyin wanted to stop her, Xin Concubine had already taken it.

Ruyin hurriedly said: "What the child eats, the mother coaxes her, you can leave it." ”

Concubine Xin put a piece of sugar in her mouth and said gently: "I just took the medicine, and this sugar is just sweet in my heart." ”

At this time, the emperor sent silver silk noodles again, and did not want everyone to thank him, Concubine Shu asked the small kitchen to cook noodles to eat. The noodles were cooked, everyone got a bowl, and Concubine Xin also got it, she picked up the bowl to eat the noodles, and saw that everyone was happy to bow their heads and eat, and Concubine Shu was also patiently feeding Yu'er, she slowly turned her eyes around, lowered her head and drank a little bit of soup, and then put down the bowl of noodles with a bang, and covered her mouth to vomit.

Shocked, everyone put down the dishes and chopsticks one after another, and several palace maids came up to serve, and the concubine retched for a while before stopping. Although it is normal for pregnant women to be happy, but it falls on Concubine Xin, it makes people tremble, and the Queen Mother is worried that she can't find fault with a few people, if it is a big trouble at this time, it is not theirs.

Concubine Shu frowned, and was about to say something unkind, but was persuaded by Ruyin, but Hongyan and Concubine Qing said generously: "Let's send you back, you must be tired, right?" ”

Concubine Xin bowed her head timidly, and said weakly: "It's all to blame for the concubine's inadequacy, so that the ladies are uneasy, and the concubine will go back." ”

The group hugged Concubine Xin and walked away slowly, before they left, Concubine Shu ordered the palace people to throw away all the things used by Concubine Xin, Ruyin kindly said that her cousin would feel mean when she did this, Concubine Shu was not angry, and only said: "I'm not mean now, when she has something, she should be mean to us later." ”

The reason is so, but it is really indifferent and ruthless to do it, even if Hongyan and Qing Concubine are polite, they are all on point, and they don't enter the door of Chengqian Palace, and they leave after sending Xin Concubine back. Back in Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Qing saw that there were no idle people with her, so she said to Hongyan: "Sister, Concubine Xin is very pampered and held in the palm of her hand by the Queen Mother, and she always looks pitiful when she does anything." I felt that Concubine Ying's flamboyance was more refreshing, but she was obedient, as if everyone was going to bully her. ”

"I think it's weird, too, but if people like it, why bother." Hongyan smiled, and thanked Qing Concubine again, "If you said what you did before, let's stop here, in the future, if you are not happy to get close to her, you will stay away, she has grace and an imperial heir, how can it be stronger than when she first came, and we don't have to be blind." ”

Qing Concubine smiled: "Sister just tell me, just think of it as Sister Shu, she is becoming more and more domineering now, and she may have to quarrel with the Queen Mother next time." ”

In the Chengqian Palace, Concubine Xin stood behind the wall closest to the Zhongcui Palace, as if she could still hear the laughter coming from there, she longed for such a happy life with children, but she was destined to be alone forever. Today, I went to join in the fun, not to make trouble for Concubine Shu, but to prove that she would be happy, to prove that she still has a child in her belly, but in fact, under the thick clothes, a thin layer of cushion is tied, which looks like a bulging belly, for fear that the cushion will fall in the middle and tie layer after layer, she has to gasp hard from time to time, and she really looks like a pregnant woman.

Back to the dormitory, Huiyun locked the door and walked alone to the back of the bed of the concubine, this Chengqian Palace had concubines living in the Ming Dynasty, I don't know what the situation was like in the past dynasties, but Concubine Xin found out very early that there was another secret room behind the bed, and now the secret room lives in the person who can let her have children.

This Eniang came from outside the palace, and she was almost at the same time pregnant little woman, good food and drink in the secret room, when no one let her go to the dormitory to walk around, the little woman understood that this is a matter of tying her head to the waist of her trousers, at first she was hesitant and afraid, but now she has calmed down, and if something happens, she will die, it is better to give birth to the child alive, go back alive and reunite with her family, and have a future.

"Your man's debts have been paid off, and he thinks that you are going to be borrowed by a big family to give birth to a child." Concubine Xin said coldly to the little woman, "At first, you thought you were going to a big family, but you didn't expect to enter the palace, right?" ”

The little woman nodded, not daring to speak. Concubine Xin said again: "After giving birth, I will let you out, and in the future, the life and death of the child will have nothing to do with you." If you give birth to a son, if you have the destiny to be an emperor in the future, you can't publicize it, and then it will not be someone else who wants to kill you, but your child who will kill you. Whoever else is he, would he rather be an emperor than a seed? ”

"Niangniang......" The little woman was stunned, it seemed that the word "evil seed" was too serious, this was the child of her and her father-in-law, if it wasn't for the man who was deceived into owing a butt of debt, she would not be willing to kiss her own flesh and blood, but there was only a child left in the family to be sold, she was reluctant, she was reluctant to raise the child, she didn't expect someone to be unborn, she thought that she hadn't raised it and hadn't seen it, and she would take it away in the future, so she agreed. But how can you say that it is a seed of evil?

"I'm serious." Concubine Xin said, "Anyway, you remember, if you have my good, you will have your good, what do I have to do, your family, and your other two children will die, it's as simple as that." ”

Huiyun had been guarding the door, and came in at this moment and said, "It's time for the imperial doctor to ask for a pulse." ”

Xin Concubine bowed her head, lay down in the couch, let the woman lie beside her, layer by layer of curtains down, soon after the imperial doctor arrived, stretched out a slender jade hand through the curtain, and covered it with a layer of silk handkerchief, for the imperial doctor, I really can't tell whose hand it is, but I feel the pulse as if there is a happy pulse, every time I go to Ningshou Palace to return to life, I say that the mother and son are safe. The Queen Mother was convinced of this, where did she think that Sutu's mother and daughter would steal the beams and change the pillars, dare to confuse the royal blood, and even Concubine Xin felt that if she gave birth to a son, it was not impossible to even compete for a big position.

It is the twentieth year of Qianlong, the emperor is forty and five, the imperial power is stable, and the four seas are peaceful. Fu Heng's western expedition won a complete victory, and now he is waiting for some finishing things, he will triumph, and he plans to arrive in the capital in June, the emperor has arranged for the various departments to prepare for the celebration ceremony, this is Fu Heng's face for the emperor to win back to the court, and he must give his wife and brother the highest praise.

In the inner palace, Hongli was even more gracious to Concubine Shu and Hongyan to summon Ruyin into the palace at any time, and set aside the same rules as the princes and elder brothers to let Concubine Shu raise Fukangan.

All kinds of pets, as the day of Fu Heng's return to Beijing approaches, it is becoming more and more incredible. When Fu Heng was in Jinchuan, he had been awarded the title of Loyal and Yonggong, and the emperor built a ancestral hall for him, as a courtier, Fu Heng had already surpassed his father and became the pillar of the new generation of Fucha family.

It's just that the general has not yet triumphed, and there are happy events in the palace, on the day of the Duanyang Festival, the queen, who has given birth to a pair of children, suddenly told the emperor that she was happy, and announced such a thing at the Duanyang banquet, which is naturally a joy on top of joy, and the queen is not pleasing to the head, but just thinks that everyone is there, and just said it by the way.

Although the Queen Mother was happy, but the queen was pregnant, she couldn't take care of Concubine Xin for her, looking at the concubine Xin who was already pot-bellied, the Queen Mother frowned and said: "The affairs of the Chengqian Palace, which one should be handed over?" ”

All the concubines lowered their heads, and Concubine Jia on the side said loudly: "If the queen mother is at ease, give it to the concubine, the concubine has no other skills, give birth to children." She hugged the eleventh elder brother beside her and said triumphantly, "It's better than others." ”
