It is unknown how Concubine Hua is so charming, but after the emperor left, the atmosphere of Broken Yuxuan was visibly relaxed, especially Shen Meizhuang, as if a taut thread suddenly loosened.

Dinner was placed in the main hall of Broken Yuxuan, and the four of them sat down to eat together, and during the banquet, Zhen Huan persuaded Shen Meizhuang: "Sister Mei, I see that you are much colder to the emperor, if there is no grace in this palace, I am afraid that it will be difficult." ”

Shen Meizhuang smiled: "What you said is the same as what Sister Rong said." She nodded quietly, "Huan'er, Rong'er, I understand your worries, but I don't expect the emperor's favor anymore, the king's grace is like flowing water, it's just thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, you are being favored now, and you don't have to listen to me." Recently, I have served the Queen Mother every day, and her old man likes me, which can be regarded as having a support, and in the days to come, I just need to abide by the rules and not make mistakes to shame the family. ”

"Sister Mei, in the end, you still can't be too far away from the emperor." An Lingrong and Zhen Huan glanced at each other, and said, "It's my sister herself, if you don't have a child in the palace, it is unreliable after all, even if the queen mother really loves her sister, but her old man is going to enjoy the age of happiness after all, and many times I am afraid that I am also weak, and my sister still has to make more plans by herself." ”

said something that made Shen Meizhuang's heart move.

Zhen Huan immediately followed: "Sister Rong is right, fortunately, my sister didn't hurt her roots after giving birth last time, and she has to recuperate well during this time." If not for anything else, just for Uncle Shen's hard work in Jeju day and night, my sister can't give up like this. ”

"I'm stubborn." Shen Meizhuang is not stupid, not to mention that what An Lingrong and Zhen Huan said is indeed reasonable, "Tomorrow I will personally go to the emperor to ask for guilt." ”

"You don't have to be guilty." Seeing that Shen Meizhuang was loosened, An Lingrong suddenly smiled and said, "I haven't been feeling good these days, and I will give the emperor food tomorrow, and I want to bother my sister to run a trip to the Heart Nourishing Palace for me, I wonder if my sister can agree?" She took Shen Meizhuang's hand and shook it gently, like a girl next door who was coquettish.

"You've said so, can I not agree?" Shen Meizhuang pursed his lips and smiled indulgently.

Zhen Huan also breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at the table, and couldn't help laughing: "Chun'er, just you are greedy!" Let's talk about conversational kung fu, you quietly ate so much. ”

I saw that most of the dishes on the table were eaten by Chun Changzai, especially the perch soup in front of her, only the bottom was left, and she looked up at it in a daze, her cheeks were still bulging, and Zhen Huan really said, she quickly accelerated the speed of chewing, and got rid of the appearance of a little hamster.

The three of them couldn't help laughing, and laughed out loud.

Outside the door, Cui Jinxi took dill, liuzhu, Caiyue and Suyun to process the newly picked osmanthus under the corridor, and heard bursts of laughter from inside, and also sighed: "I have been in the palace for so many years, and I have never seen a few little masters as good as the little masters inside." The nobles of Dongguan are smart and smart, the nobles are gentle and careful, the nobles are generous and generous, and they are often innocent, but they are rare in the palace. ”

The four people present were all confidants, and when they heard Cui Jinxi's comment, they were also honored, and they had to praise each other for a few words, and by the way, they also defended their own little master.

A meal is a joy for both guests and hosts.

"The little lord has been much happier lately." In the evening, Dill took off her makeup ring for An Lingrong, grated her hair with a comb, and when she looked up from the mirror, she explained with a smile, "The little master himself is afraid that he doesn't feel it, you used to be always full of worries, either working hard or worrying about that, and there is always no time to feel at ease." Since Chun Changzai came, the little lord has a smile in his eyes every day, and his complexion has looked much better. ”

An Lingrong touched his face, thinking about getting along with Chun Chang these days, he couldn't help but smile: "Chun'er is like a little sun, straightforward and simple-minded, I am very relaxed with her." "In the end, it is a girl from a scholarly family, who is informal but not bad, and this is much worse than summer, winter and spring.

No wonder Zhen Huan liked Chun Chang so much in her previous life.

An Lingrong put a special gelat on herself, waited quietly for time, and couldn't help but think of the past again.

Think about her former self, she is really cautious, she only cares about herself in everything, complains about the slightest disappointment, she never sees her mistakes, others treat her a thousand points well, and she resents her when she is one point worse. Shengmien fights Mi Hatred, it is said that she was in her previous life. But speaking of which, she and Zhen Huan are drifting apart, and the queen's provocation is also indispensable, it seems to be a trivial matter, but the droplet stone wears the grinding pestle into a needle, and cracks appear one after another, and it is only a matter of time before trust falls apart.

"Little master, the time is up." Dill brought water to clean An Lingrong's face, and couldn't help but light up, "This jade dew gel is really a good thing, no wonder the shopkeeper Xun sent it into the palace to honor the little master." She lowered her voice and said, "The snow spring letter given by the little master last time sold very well, and the Treasure Pavilion has increased its income by tens of thousands of taels of gold just by relying on this incense, and the shopkeeper Xun is now offering the little master as the god of wealth." ”

"What a God of Wealth, a cash cow." An Lingrong shook his head with a smile, "Spring letter in the snow is extremely rare, the plum blossom snow saved last year has been almost used, and I am afraid that it will be necessary to wait until next year, and the next time you see the shopkeeper Xun, remember to talk to him." ”

Dill nodded in response, and then said: "According to the number of roads in the Treasure Pavilion, I am afraid that it will be speculated to sky-high prices again." She understands the truth that scarcity is expensive, not to mention the shopkeeper Xun.

An Lingrong couldn't control the businessman's businessman's business, so he could only shake his head: "How much private money is pressed in the treasury now?" ”

"The slave and maid will count it when they come back at the beginning of each month, and every one of them will be registered, can the little master take a look?" Seeing that An Lingrong didn't plan to look at the accounts carefully, Dill roughly said, "The existing large amount of silver bills adds up to 160,000 taels, and there are 120 taels of broken silver. ”

An Lingrong couldn't help but be startled when he heard Dill finish speaking.

She has never dealt with the treasury money, and has given it to Dill to take care of it, but she doesn't know that she has accumulated so much wealth in less than a year, and the Treasure Pavilion is really profitable!

An Lingrong lowered his eyes and thought for a while: "You draw 100,000 silver tickets out, and then pick out some old satin and jewelry, pack them together with a few ancient prescriptions that I copied by hand before, and find an opportunity for people to send them to the Chuzhou General Judgment Mansion and hand them over to my father." After a pause, he added, "I'll write a letter to my family later, and I'll send it back together." ”

Dill nodded: "Yes, the slave knows." ”

An Lingrong plans to hand over the way of spice business, after all, she is in the harem, if she has too much silver in her hand, she is afraid that it will not be clear, or it is better to hold it in the hands of her family. She remembered that there was an Aunt Zhao in the backyard of the house, who she met when her father was in business, and because of the middle of the family, she had to condescend to the position of concubine, but she was upright and had helped her father do many transactions, and it might be more appropriate for her to hand over the spice business to her.

What's more, now my father is working hard to fight for his career, although he can't be involved in corruption, but there is always a time in the officialdom to have some relationships, depending on the emperor's meaning, my father's official position in the future will not be low, the higher he goes, the more he needs money and connections.

No matter how unwilling An Lingrong is, he has to think about one thing in advance - whether to renew the strings for his father? This problem is inevitable, and although it is not in a hurry at the moment, it will have to be faced one day. She let out a long sigh, put down her pen, carefully dried the ink, put it in an envelope, and sealed it with wax.

Lie down, another sleepless night.

Autumn to the Imperial Garden is picturesque, the maple leaves are blooming, the lifting of the ban in summer, winter and spring is finally late, but somehow, she is not willing to go out, especially the Imperial Garden, seeing the fiery red maple leaves from a distance is panicked, and the result is still nested in the Guan Ju Pavilion all day long.

Frost Flower looked at Xia Dongchun's more and more round figure, and only felt that her head hurt even more. It's only been three months, and if you're a bystander, you haven't even started to show your arms, and you're almost two laps fat in summer, winter and spring.

"The previous medicine was too powerful, and Xia Chang has been getting more and more unable to hold back recently." Maple Leaf came to tell the queen, "Although the medicine has been stopped in the past half a month, Xia Changzai's appetite has been raised, and after a day, there are no less than five meals, and two bowls of rice have to be eaten every meal, and the slave and maid have also persuaded it, but I really can't persuade it." ”

The queen frowned. The palace is not as good as the Old Summer Palace, Xia Dongchun lives with her, you can watch it every day, and she has been indulged like this in less than a month, and she doesn't know how to do it for six or seven months, I thought that after lifting the grounding, it would be better for her to go out and walk around more, but I never thought that it was too hard to press some time ago, but it made her more and more lazy.

"Jianqiu, you personally take Zhang Mi over to check her pulse, change a prescription to reduce her appetite, and control her weight well, don't really be unable to give birth by then." Since being persuaded by An Lingrong, the queen has been thinking about how to bring the child over to raise, the shadow has not yet been seen, and the child's life for the next twenty years has been thought about by her, if she can't give birth in Xia, Dongchun and spring, she will really be uncomfortable to death.

The queen had never expected the concubine to give birth to the child safely.

Jian Qiu got the order, went to the Tai Hospital to spread the word, and went to Yanxi Palace in person.

After seeing the appearance of Xia Dongchun, Huan is Jianqiu was mentally prepared, and he was really startled: "Little master, how can you do this?" The pregnancy period is less than halfway through, you are about to catch up with the appearance of people when they are about to give birth, this is really when it is time to give birth, I am afraid that I can't even use the strength, even if I give birth safely, this body is difficult to recover to the past, do you want the grace in the future or not? ”

"I—Am I fat?" Xia Dongchun was still holding half an elbow in his hand, and he stayed there stunned when he heard the words.

At this time, Zhang Mi just arrived, stepped forward to ask for a pulse, and only got up after a while to reply: "The little main fetus is like a stable, but there are too many supplements, and the fetus is slightly larger than the ordinary three-month one. Wechen will prescribe a prescription to regulate the body of the little master, and the little master should also exercise and move more on weekdays. ”

Xia Dongchun listened to Zhang Mi's words, his face turned white with fright, and he quickly threw the elbow in his hand aside.

Jianqiu also took advantage of the situation to pass on the queen's decree: "From now on, the daily diet of the Xia family in Yanxi Palace will be halved, and every drink and food will be checked by the Tai Hospital before they can be used, in addition, they will take an hour to go out in the morning and afternoon, and they should not be lazy." ”

"Respectfully, respectfully, follow the will of the queen's mother......" I want to cry in summer, winter and spring.

Since then, you can see the figure of Xia, Dongchun working hard in the palace every day, dragging his bulky body to move in the imperial garden, sweating profusely at every turn, and becoming the laughing stock of the palace for a while.

In this regard, the Fucha nobles who also lived in Yanxi Palace were even more annoyed than Xia Dongchun.

"It's Xia Chang who is fat and it's not me who is fat, why are people outside saying that I should also lose weight with me?" Fucha nobles were so angry that their faces turned red, "Just because we live in Yanxi Palace together?" If you want to arrange it, you should first arrange Chun Changzai, she also has two meals in the morning and two meals in the evening, and at the end of the day, she eats no less than Xia Changzai. Why bother talking about me! ”

"Okay, okay, what's there to be angry about." Concubine Qi persuaded her on the side, "Xia Chang is also here, she has gained nearly twenty pounds in just three months, no wonder the queen wants to personally order her to control her weight, if she is allowed to continue to eat, she will not gain sixty or seventy pounds when she is in labor?" It's scary to think about. ”

The Fucha nobleman imagined it for a moment, and couldn't help but be amused by the scene in his mind: "Isn't that fat?" As he spoke, he complained again, "Chun Chang doesn't know what to do during this time, and he runs out all day long." ”

Concubine Qi sneered: "People are climbing high branches." Seeing that the nobleman of Fucha looked confused, he said again, "She has often been in and out of Broken Yuxuan these days, and she is very good with the nobles of Dongguan and Rong. At present, except for Concubine Hua in the palace, it is not the two of them who are favored, you can be vigilant, this little girl, the idea is very big. ”

Fucha's eyebrows jumped, and his expression changed slightly.
