Yaohua Palace, Concubine Rong was watching Cuilan and others arrange breakfast, the table was full of cups and plates, fine rice and white porridge, eight kinds of side dishes, vegetarian assortment, braised chicken breast, quail, crispy pickled cucumbers, rouge foie gras, fried spring rolls, fragrant radish, wind-pickled civets, plum blossom tofu, fried wolfberry sprouts with oil and salt, and four kinds of dim sum, dazzling.

Yu Lin walked in at the right time, Concubine Rong hurriedly got up to greet her and saluted, and said with a smile on her face: "The emperor has just come down to the early court, he must be hungry, right?" I asked the small kitchen to make a good wind-pickled civet, which is very good with porridge, so sit down and taste it, Your Majesty. ”

Yu Lin slowly sat down at the table, without saying anything, Concubine Rong was busy serving porridge and cloth dishes with her own hands. Yu Lin glanced at the table full of delicacies, seemed to be displeased, and said: "Is it worth arranging so many dishes for a breakfast, it is too extravagant and wasteful, this year's drought is all over the world, the harvest is not good, the treasury is also quite tight, and the harem must be strictly thrifty." ”

Concubine Rong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "What the emperor said is that the concubine is wrong, and the emperor has not eaten here with the concubine. ”

Yu Lin waved his hand and said, "That's it, that's it." ”

Concubine Rong said cautiously: "The concubine will follow the teachings in the future." ”

Yu Lin picked a cucumber with chopsticks and said slowly: "You can also sit down and eat." You let the tassel wait for me at the gate of the Chengming Hall in the morning, just to report to me that you have something happy? ”

Concubine Rong laid a chopsticks for Yu Lin, smiled shyly, and said: "The concubine has been in the palace for ten years, looking forward to being able to conceive the emperor's heir day and night, and give birth to a boy and half a girl. ”

Yu Lin listened to her words, but still did not say anything on her face, Concubine Rong didn't know why, and she was worried in her heart: "Isn't the emperor happy?" ”

Yu Lin raised his head and smiled slightly: "You have my child, how can I be unhappy, but this news came suddenly, and I was not prepared for it all of a sudden." ”

Concubine Rong was relieved, and said with a smile: "The concubine has always thought that there is no hope for the heir in this life, and she doesn't want to get what she wants now, but she also feels very sudden." ”

Yu Lin thought for a while, and said, "When was it?" ”

Concubine Rong smiled lightly: "The imperial doctor said that she has been pregnant for nearly two months, and the concubine is considered to be pregnant on the day of the last family banquet." ”

Yu Lin nodded and said, "It seems to be." Which physician diagnosed it? ”

Concubine Rong said with a smile: "It's Imperial Doctor Wang, the golden saint of gynecology Imperial Doctor Zhao has passed away, and now only Imperial Doctor Wang has the deepest qualifications and the best pulse in the Tai Hospital." ”

Yu Lin nodded again and said, "In this way, I should also reward him." Okay, I'm full, I'm going to Ci'an Palace to greet the Queen Mother, you eat slowly, you don't have to get up. After speaking, he stepped out of Yaohua Palace with his hands behind his back.

Concubine Rong had a poor appetite, so she only ate a little indiscriminately and then dropped her chopsticks, called the tassel and asked, "This palace is pregnant, why don't you look at the emperor very happy?" When Concubine Ying was pregnant, the emperor was very happy? ”

Tassel lowered his eyebrows and said: "Niangniang don't have to worry too much, I think there are four princesses in the palace now, and the emperor thinks that the princess in Niangniang's belly may be a princess, so he thinks there is nothing new." ”

Concubine Rong pondered: "What you said is also reasonable, it seems that this palace must give birth to a prince." In this way, the position of the palace in this harem can be stabilized, and now even the concubine does not take the palace seriously. When the palace gives birth to a prince, it will definitely kill her sharpness. ”

The tassel nodded on the side, and served Concubine Rong to drink another cup of longan soup, Concubine Rong felt a little short-minded because the emperor came to have breakfast, so she went to the soft couch to take a nap.

After a day or two, Concubine Rong woke up early and felt a little sore and uncomfortable, so she called the tassel to go to the hospital to ask Doctor Wang to take the pulse of peace.

The tassel went for a long time and there was no one, Concubine Rong was waiting impatiently, and suddenly saw her running in in a hurry, looking panicked, and there was no imperial doctor behind her, so she hurriedly got up and asked, "Why have you been there for so long?" What about Imperial Physician Wang? ”

Tassel panted and said: "When the slave maid arrived at the hospital, she didn't see the person of the imperial doctor, so she asked someone, and said that the imperial doctor didn't know what had happened, and was beaten by the emperor for twenty boards and driven out of the palace." ”

Concubine Rong was startled, got up from the couch, and asked, "Have you ever inquired about what it is for?" ”

Tassel shook his head and said: "The slave maid has been inquiring for a long time, and the people in the hospital are all silent and refuse to reveal half a word." ”

Concubine Rong frowned, and her heart was faintly uneasy: "The emperor just said the day before yesterday that he wanted to reward the imperial doctor, how can he instead... Could it be because of the pregnancy of this uterus? ”

Tassel said: "Don't worry too much about Niangniang, it is a happy event to be pregnant with the emperor's heir, how can you punish the imperial doctor, presumably he offended the emperor because of other things, let the slave maid go and investigate carefully." ”

Concubine Rong nodded, still worried, so she had to listen slowly by the tassel.

Before the tassel got the news, Concubine Rong found something that frightened her, her monthly letter came! It turns out that the soreness of the waist and limbs when waking up in the morning is a sign of the moon letter.

Looking at the clothes and pants stained red by the red blood, Concubine Rong grabbed the tassel's hand in a panic and said, "Didn't you say that a woman would not have menstruation if she was pregnant?" Why does the main palace still have a monthly letter? ”

Tassel was also panicked in her heart, and tried her best to comfort her: "Niangniang, don't panic, the slave maid will go to the Tai Hospital and invite another doctor to see if there is something wrong with the dragon fetus." ”

Concubine Rong grabbed her: "No, everyone who will make it know in this way." You quietly let people go out and tell the father of the palace, and ask him to find a famous doctor from the people, quietly enter the palace to check the pulse of the palace, and don't leak the news. ”

The tassel took the order and left.

When night fell, the moonlight was alienated, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and the tassels led a person to hurriedly flash into the side hall of Yaohua Palace.

Tassel said to Concubine Rong, who had been waiting for a long time: "This is Fang Langzhong, who was invited by the boss, and is famous in gynecology. ”

Fang Langzhong bowed slightly, said that he had won the award, put down the medical box, and sat down on the circle chair in front of Concubine Rong. Concubine Rong stretched out her right hand, and the tassel hurriedly took a thin silk handkerchief cover, and Fang Langzhong took his hand and carefully checked the pulse.

But after a while, he got up and replied: "Forgive the grass people for daring to speak, according to the pulse, it seems that Niangniang is not pregnant, and the pulse is very clear, I don't know why the imperial doctor diagnosed Ximai?" ”

When Concubine Rong heard this, it was like five thunderbolts, she could barely stand, and the tassel was busy supporting her, and her face was full of shock.

Concubine Rong asked tightly, "Are you clear?" Wouldn't there be anything wrong with that? ”

Fang Langzhong said seriously: "The grass people are completely sure, and according to the pulse, Niangniang has already come to the moon letter on her body, and Niangniang herself must be very clear." ”

Concubine Rong said unwillingly: "The tea and rice in this palace have been tasteless in recent days, and how to explain the disgusting pantothenic acid?" Moreover, the monthly letter of the main palace has also been postponed for a long time. ”

Fang Langzhong said: "Maybe the mother's spleen and stomach are not in harmony for a while, or maybe the mother wants to conceive too much, and she thinks about it day and night and gives birth to the corresponding symptoms." As for the delay of the monthly letter, it may be caused by irregular menstrual blood. ”

Concubine Rong sat down on the chair with a sad expression, and muttered, "This palace is not pregnant?" All this is fake, how can this palace explain to the emperor? ”

Seeing this, Tassel hurriedly took out a few ingots of gold from his body, stuffed them into Fang Langzhong's hand, told him not to leak out, and asked people to lead him out of the palace secretly.

When she returned to the hall, she saw that Concubine Rong was still distracted, and said softly in her ear: "Niangniang, I'm afraid we have fallen for someone else's trick, and the imperial physician was probably bribed by a traitor, so he lied that Niangniang was pregnant." ”

When Concubine Rong heard this, she suddenly realized and shouted: "Who is it, who is going to harm this palace?" Empress? Concubine? Or is it a concubine? ”

Tassel hurriedly covered her mouth lightly, and said, "Don't shout like this, be careful of being heard." Now it's important to think about how we can hide it. ”

"Hide?" Concubine Rong said: "How to hide it? How can the affairs of the heirs be hidden? If you can hide it for a while, can you hide it for ten months, once you are pregnant, you will give birth in October, the child will always be born, where do you let this palace get a child? ”

The tassel couldn't for a while, silent. Concubine Rong got up from the ground and said, "I'm going to ask the emperor for my guilt and let it be dealt with." ”

Tassel panicked: "Niangniang, this is a crime of deception!" The slave came up with an idea, let's pretend to be pregnant for the time being, and wait until the day of delivery, and the slave and maid go outside to pick up a child..."

Concubine Rong interrupted her and said, "In this way, you are really bullying the king." Besides, the person who harmed me knew that Bengong was not pregnant at all, and he would inevitably go to the emperor to expose Bengong, and then Bengong would really die and have no place to be buried. Taking advantage of the fact that it is too early, the palace went to the emperor to take off the hairpin and ask for guilt, and the emperor may forgive the palace in the past. ”

Tassel said with tears in his eyes: "The slave will go with you." ”
