Chapter 191: Pickles
Lu Yuning never thought that she could sit back and relax when she sat in the position of Zhuang Concubine, in this harem, even if she sat on the only phoenix seat that could stand side by side with the emperor, she needed to be vigilant at all times, and she could not really lie down in peace.
Lu Yuning smiled at Tao and said, "I know, mother, I will definitely take care of myself." ”
After a pause, Lu Yuning added, "I will also take care of my child." ”
"Hmm." Tao Shi responded, looked at Lu Yuning's somewhat pale cheeks and asked about Lu Yuning's state after she became pregnant.
Lu Yuning thought about it for a while, and said lightly: "There is nothing special about it, it is normal morning sickness." ”
Tao glanced at Lu Yuning angrily, and said, "When I said this, I didn't know how to look at your face in the mirror to see what it was." ”
Lu Yuning reached out and wiped his cheek, and muttered, "It should be okay?" ”
Tao ignored Lu Yuning, but asked Qingzhi about Lu Yuning's condition after she became pregnant.
Qingzhi naturally told the truth.
Tao listened to what Qingzhi said, and glared at Lu Yuning angrily, and Lu Yuning looked at Tao with an innocent face.
Seeing this, Tao could only shake her head, could she not know what her own daughter's temper was? When I was young, I was fine, and I liked to complain the most, and I wouldn't bury any grievances in my stomach. But since her father and brother died in battle and she fell ill again, she slowly learned to report good news and not bad news.
But this can't be blamed on Lu Yuning, the main reason is that she, a mother, can't hold up a piece of the sky for her daughter.
Sighing, Tao no longer thought about this, but said to Lu Yuning: "When I was pregnant with your eldest brother and hungry, I was the same as you are now, and I was seriously happy, almost eating and vomiting, and I lost a lot of weight in just one month, and in the end, your grandmother asked people to send pickles to me, so that I could eat a little porridge with pickles." ”
"Pickles?" Lu Yuning was surprised, "Will it be useful?" ”
Tao shook his head, "My mother was useful at the time, and your grandmother said that she was also like this when she was pregnant with her first child, and pickles were also useful to her, so my mother thought it would be useful to you." ”
Lu Yuning said: "Then when I ask Zhou Man to go to the dining room, ask if there are pickled pickles in the dining room." ”
Pickles are very common in ordinary people's homes, but Lu Yuning has hardly seen pickles on the table after entering the palace.
Tao said: "If there is no one in the palace, my mother will bring you into the palace tomorrow, and you can give it a try." ”
"Okay." Lu Yuning responded.
Lu Yuning and Tao were talking, and it was soon time for lunch.
Zhou Man went to the dining room and asked the people in the dining room if there were any pickles.
The eunuch in charge of the dining room heard Zhou Man ask about pickles, and asked with a smile: "Is it that Grandpa Zhou himself wants to eat pickles?" ”
Zhou Man smiled and shook his head, "If I want to eat, how dare I trouble you, isn't our master suffering from severe morning sickness recently?" We heard that it would be better to eat pickles, so we asked the dining room to see if there was one. ”
When the eunuch in charge of the dining room heard this, he smiled and said: "It turns out that Concubine Zhuang wants to eat, since Concubine Zhuang wants to eat, we just want to let Concubine Zhuang eat whatever we say." ”
There were indeed no pickles for the masters in the dining room, but a royal chef surnamed Ma in the dining room was very good at this bite, so he privately pickled a jar of pickled radish and a small jar of spicy cucumber strips.
Knowing that Lu Yuning wanted to eat it, this jar of sauce radish and a jar of spicy cucumber strips were handed over by the eunuch in charge.
Anyway, no matter what the process was, Lu Yuning ate sauce radish and spicy cucumber strips at lunch.
Because Lu Yuning couldn't smell the smell of meat dishes such as chicken, duck and fish, there were only vegetarian dishes and two small plates of pickles for lunch.
Tao at the same table can only follow Lu Yuning to eat vegetarian dishes, originally Lu Yuning wanted Tao to eat at his own table, so that he didn't have to take care of her, but Tao wanted to accompany Lu Yuning to eat together.
Since the meal was served, Qingzhi and Qingdai stared at Lu Yuning nervously, and saw that Lu Yuning's chopsticks frequently stretched out to the plate of sauced radish and the plate of spicy cucumber strips, and the hearts of the two of them were slightly relieved.
But it was only a little bit lowered, and it wasn't completely put down.
It wasn't until Lu Yuning finished the meal, and after more than half an hour, that she still didn't vomit again, and the two finally put their hearts at ease, and a relieved smile appeared on their faces.
Tao accompanied Lu Yuning in Linglong Pavilion for most of the day, and only left the palace in the afternoon.
Before leaving, Tao said to Lu Yuning: "Although the emperor gave the mother token, but the mother thinks that you have just been pregnant after all, and it is not good for the mother to enter and leave the palace too often, since there are pickles in the dining room, it is also useful for you to eat pickles, and the mother will not enter the palace in the next few days." ”
Lu Yuning nodded, "What my mother said is that in the future, my mother should try to enter the palace on the first or fifteenth day of junior high school." ”
"Hmm." Dow thinks so, too.
In the evening, Luo Chengjing came to Linglong Pavilion again, and as soon as he came, he asked Lu Yuning about today's situation, and after learning that Lu Yuning only vomited once today, Luo Chengjing nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that I have entered the palace by letting your mother enter the palace in the right way." ”
Lu Yuning smiled sweetly: "The concubine hasn't thanked the emperor yet, if it weren't for the concubine's mother who entered the palace today and told the concubine that it would be better to eat pickles, the concubine's condition would not be alleviated." ”
"Eating pickles helps?" Luo Chengjing asked curiously.
Lu Yuning nodded, and said: "Maybe the concubine's physique is the same as the concubine's mother and grandmother, the mother said that they vomited very badly when they were pregnant for the first time, and it was useful to eat pickles, and it happened that there were pickles in the dining room, so the concubine tried it, but I didn't expect it to be really useful." ”
"It's good to be useful." After Luo Chengjing finished speaking, he pondered for a moment and said, "I remember that there is only one uncle in Concubine Ai's family, right?" ”
Lu Yuning nodded, "Well, the concubine's grandmother only has two children, the concubine's uncle and mother. ”
"Then the concubine's uncle should be your grandmother's first child, right?"
"Hmm." Lu Yuning nodded, looking at Luo Chengjing puzzled, not knowing what he meant by asking.
Luo Chengjing didn't say anything more, just glanced at Lu Yuning's stomach.
Lu Yuning was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Luo Chengjing meant, Lu Yuning shook his head helplessly, and said, "Your Majesty, this can't be done accurately." ”
It's not that her grandmother likes that pickles gave birth to her uncle, her mother gave birth to her brother by eating pickles, and she can also give birth to a boy if she eats pickles.
Lu Yuning felt that it was necessary for her to lower Luo Chengjing's expectations for the child in her belly, otherwise she would be a little princess in her life, and it was hard to say whether Luo Chengjing would be disappointed and dislike her and the child in her belly.
Lu Yuning said to Luo Chengjing: "The concubine feels that the concubine is most likely a little princess. ”
