The emperor also praised it when he received the birthday gift from Yikun Palace yesterday, and now he knows that the cost is so high, and he is suddenly a little unhappy. Although Nian Qianyao pacified the northwest, the soldiers stationed in the frontier were still short of food and grass, five thousand taels of silver, enough for all the soldiers to eat for three months. He frowned: "You are the queen, she is the concubine, and her use has never exceeded the truth in the queen's palace." ”

The queen chuckled lightly and said: "Concubine Hua pays attention to face, and the decorations used are mostly pasted with gold leaf, and she ordered the Internal Affairs Office to make a new batch of jewelry and clothes. After a pause, he said again, "Women are the ones who please themselves, not to mention that Concubine Hua is also the face of Zhou Quanquan's family and the royal family." ”

The emperor was silent for a while, closed the account book, and spoke with an indescribable heaviness: "If she is for her mother's family, then it is nothing, presumably Nian Qianyao has also subsidized Concubine Hua a lot, and the wool is out of the sheep, let her." After speaking, after all, he was not at ease, and he said to the queen again, "In the future, you can tell me how much silver she will make in the palace." ”

The smile on the queen's face paused slightly. She excused Concubine Hua, but she didn't really want to say good things to her in front of the emperor, seeing that the emperor didn't plan to care about this matter, she said slowly: "The concubine dares to ask, if this silver is in Nian Qianyao's mansion, has the emperor rewarded Nian Qianyao so much?" If it weren't for the emperor's reward, Concubine Hua would have used so much in half a month, so where would all this silver come from? ”

"I don't need to say how much I know." The emperor's face sank.

Seeing the slight knowledge, it can be seen how many bribes Nian Qianyao has accepted for corruption, and how many people in many places have earned their lives behind these people's fat and people's ointment, the emperor feels a little suffocated when he thinks about it, but now it's not time to move him, so he can only endure it, endure it again.

Xiao Xiazi listened to the movement inside, and when he saw that there was no sound, he came in with his bedclothes and replied: "Your Majesty, Broken Yuxuan sent a set of bedclothes, please take a look at the emperor." ”

The queen took advantage of the situation to make fun of it, and asked Xiao Xiazi to send it to the front to take a closer look, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the embroidery of the nobles in Dongguan to be so outstanding. Although it is a bed clothes, it can be done so carefully in the subtleties, it seems that the nobles of Dongguan really value the emperor in their hearts. ”

"She's wonderful." The emperor looked at the dragon pattern on his bedrobe and nodded in praise.

is also a dragon pattern, compared to Concubine Hua's big hands and feet, Zhen Huan's hand-embroidered heart is more precious, and thinking of the friend party she talked about that day, she didn't feel that she had more plans for Nian Qianyao's affairs, and her mind was settled, and she saw that the emperor's expression was much better.

The queen looked at the emperor's expression, picked the right time and said: "Your Majesty, Xia Changzai has been pregnant for seven months, she hasn't seen the emperor for a long time, does the emperor want to go see her tonight?" ”

"It's been a long time since I've been to see her." The emperor looked at the folds that had been approved on the case, and he was not in the mood to look at it anymore, "It's okay, I'll go back to Jingren Palace with you and go to see her by the way." ”

"Yes." The queen smiled knowingly.

The next day, the emperor arrived at Shoukang Palace early after finishing his busy court affairs, and happened to catch up with dill to give birthday gifts.

After finishing the big gift, Dill held up the two gifts: "Today is the emperor's birthday, and Rong promised to give the emperor a picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, bless the Qing Dynasty forever, and the country and the people are safe." Then he said, "As the saying goes, the day of childbirth, the day of motherhood, today is also a special day for the Queen Mother, Rong promised to make two wipes for the Queen Mother, talk about filial piety, and hope that the Queen Mother will not dislike it." ”

The picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains is one zhang long, with ink as the background color, embroidering a deep and shallow sea of clouds, mountains and rivers, a round of red sun breaks out of the clouds, and the golden light is sprinkled all over the whole picture, which is really spectacular.

The forehead is made of crimson brocade, embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, round and small pearls are dropped between the threads, and a jade with an excellent water head is inlaid in the middle, and the back is tied with rabbit fur instead, which looks warm and gorgeous.

However, the Queen Mother was not half happy on her face, and only lightly asked Zhuxi to accept the things and said to Dill: "Do needlework and hurt your eyes, go back and tell Rong to promise, it is important for her to have a good baby, don't bother to please these side things." As long as she gives birth to the child safe and sound, the mourning family will restore her noble status. The implication is that don't think about anything else.

Dill didn't dare to catch her breath, and after answering in a proper manner, she retreated.

The emperor held back his feelings, only looked at the painting, and praised An Lingrong's embroidery and let people put it away, without saying anything more.

Seeing that the emperor didn't pay much attention to An Lingrong, the queen mother smiled with satisfaction, and instead let Zhuxi set the dinner for the banquet, and the mother and son enjoyed a rare warm time.

After Dill returned to the Chunxi Palace, she told the Queen Mother's words to An Lingrong as they were.

An Lingrong was drinking medicine, and after listening to it, he was silent for a while before he smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect the Queen Mother to like me, I just did my filial piety for the emperor." She nodded at dill, "You go back and rest, the injury is not yet complete, don't be too tired." ”

Dill shook her head: "The slave maid is already healed, and the seriously injured ones are Aunt Cuiyin and Father-in-law Yin, and the slave and cardamom are protected by Aunt Cuiyin, and they haven't hit the board a few times." Seeing that An Lingrong was about to say, she hurriedly said, "The little master should let the slave and maid do more, otherwise the slave and maid will not feel at ease." ”

An Lingrong sighed, then followed her, and said: "In this case, you ask Cardamom to pay more attention to the bamboo green around the nobles in Guan these days, and if there is anything abnormal, come and report to me immediately." ”

"Yes." Dill leans over and should be.

Fenruo came in to give her a routine daily massage, watched her finish her well-prepared dinner, and checked every corner of the room before going to bed.

Originally, Dill thought it was quite strange why she had to check it every day, but since she saw Fen Ruo find out the objects that hurt the fetus, she understood, and followed Fen Ruo to check it together. Something is found almost every day, and it's hard to prevent it. It's all small things, and I don't know when I came in, and I checked it twice and there was no trace, so I could only be more and more careful.

Today is in the corner with a few clumps of catnip, this thing is easy to attract the cats in the palace, domestic, just afraid of a wild cat rushing in, but terrible.

Dill watched Fenruo dispose of the catnip with a blank face, her face was solemn, and she secretly scolded her previous thoughts for being too naïve. Now it is not peaceful under the eyes of the Queen Mother, if she is still grounded in Zichun Pavilion at this time, she doesn't know what it will be like to be harmed.

"Sister Dill, Cao Guiren is here." Qin'er walked in and said.

Dill was a little strange: "It's been a moment, what is she going to do?" She thought about it, and went in to inform An Lingrong.

An Lingrong had already laid down with his clothes, and when he heard this, he only lazily gathered the futon: "I don't see." Dill was about to withdraw to reply, An Lingrong opened her eyes again and called out to her, "You go and bring her a word." She beckoned Dill to her, whispered softly twice, and then raised her hand to let her out.

Dill felt a little confused, but she still went out and passed a message to Cao Guiren: "Cao Guiren, my little master has already fallen asleep, please come back next time." She walked into Cao Guiren and whispered, "The little master told the slave and maid to pass a message to the nobleman......

Cao Guiren has been flustered for several days since the incident of Zichun Pavilion that day, and every time she thinks of An Lingrong's eyes looking at her, she feels anxious, and she struggles for many days, and today she made up her mind to come and see An Lingrong. Recently, Concubine Hua has been powerful, but she has seen the emperor sporadically a few times, but she feels that Concubine Hua is not as holy as she used to be this time, but exudes an inexplicable sense of crisis, coupled with the emperor's attitude towards Concubine Hua that night, she intuitively felt that something was wrong, and thought about it, it was better to find a way out for herself as soon as possible.

Looking at the six palaces, the only ones who can turn to Zhen Huan and An Lingrong are Zhen Huan, thinking left and right, Cao Guiren still chose An Lingrong. In her opinion, An Lingrong is not as favored as Zhen Huan, and she is not so smart, if she wants to be her own faction in the future, it will be easier to turn against An Lingrong.

But she didn't expect that An Lingrong didn't want to see her, and also told her a shocking secret.

After listening to Dill's words, Cao Guiren was shocked, and at that moment, she thought of countless possibilities in her mind, and finally almost staggered away from the Chunxi Palace.

The next day, An Lingrong listened to Dill talk about Cao Guiren's reaction last night, but he just hooked his lips and smiled, but did not speak.

"The little master has been properly recuperated these days, and the tire gas has been stabilized, so you can get out of bed and walk around a little, not more than half an hour a day." After Zhang Mi asked for peace pulse, he prescribed a new prescription for An Lingrong, and his movements were deliberately slow, and after An Lingrong noticed that everyone was going out, he whispered, "Little master, Xia Chang is not doing well, and I am afraid that I will have a difficult birth when I give birth." ”

An Lingrong's heart jumped, and he immediately frowned: "What's the matter?" ”

"Xia Chang eats a lot in the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus is still small, can not absorb so much nutrients, so all are absorbed by the mother, and so on to the third month of pregnancy, the fetus is the time of high nutritional needs, and the exercise and diet are excessive, there are signs of miscarriage, and then it is quiet and frequent tonic, Xia Chang is now the fetus is too big, not to mention, it is also fat and weak, and it will be very difficult to give birth." Zhang Mi said.

"There are still more than two months left before her full-term delivery, Imperial Doctor Zhang, can you still regulate her body?" An Lingrong didn't want Xia Dongchun to really have an accident because of giving birth to a child, and the "going to the mother and keeping the child" that he said to the queen was just a delaying tactic, but if the child really fell into the hands of the queen, wouldn't it be endless trouble.

"Wechen has tried his best to replenish Xia Chang's body, but it has had little effect." Zhang Mi was also worried, "Little master, can I think of another way?" ”

An Lingrong frowned, and thought for a long time: "Have you found all the stable women who are delivering babies in Xia Chang?" ”

"I've found it, it's an old man who is used to it in the palace, one surnamed Zheng and the other surnamed Zhou." Zhang Mi said.

An Lingrong nodded, waved his hand to let Zhang Mi retreat, and then asked Fen Ruo: "Auntie, do you know what the identity background of Mama Zheng and Mama Zhou who are in charge of delivering the baby are?" ”

Fen Ruo looked at An Lingrong deeply and didn't speak for a long time.

"What's wrong?" An Lingrong thought that he had asked the wrong thing.

"Dare to ask the little master, do you want to save Xia Chang?" Fen Ruo looked at An Lingrong directly, saw her nodding, and said again, "Why did the little master go to save Xia Changzai?" ”

An Lingrong frowned, she didn't like Fen Ruo's aggressive appearance very much: "Auntie, what do you mean by this?" ”

"The slave just wants to remind the little master that you can't be too kind in this palace, excessive kindness will only harm yourself." Fen Ruo lowered her eyes and said in a muffled voice, "The queen is bound to win this child, if Xia Changzai did not die due to dystocia, she will also die for other reasons in the future, take a step back and say, even if Xia Changzai is alive and well, with her position, where can she win the queen?" What's more, Xia Changzai is still a person in the queen's palace, and this child is already the queen's for a long time. The little master should not be unable to see the reality clearly because of his good heart. ”

Kind-hearted?

An Lingrong was slightly stunned, she has never been a good person, but she doesn't want to harm people's lives in this life.

The proposal to go to the mother and keep the son was given to the queen, if Xia Dongchun died because of this, wouldn't the cause and effect fall on her? But An Lingrong thought about it and was a little relieved. Since Xia Dongchun took the prescription to get pregnant, she was destined to take a life, An Lingrong just wanted to use Xia Dongchun to verify the true effect of that prescription at first, judging from the current form, her initial guess was right.

In her previous life, An Lingrong barely conceived until five months before she had a miscarriage, although there was a reason for it, but she knew that if she held on no further, she might not survive for six months. And in this life, Xia Dongchun has been pregnant for seven months, and they all say that she is very fat, and I think it is the reason why the fetus asks too much, even if the queen does not do it, Xia Dongchun is estimated to not survive. In that case, why would she risk her life for this?

An Lingrong closed his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief. Since she had a frank friendship with Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang and Chun Chang, life has been too comfortable, which has softened her heart, and she opened her eyes to look at Fen Ruo again, she nodded calmly: "Thank you aunt for mentioning it." ”

Since Xia Dongchun can't stay anymore, then you have to think about where the child goes.

Or maybe that child can't be raised at all?

Another guess popped up in An Lingrong's heart.

The collection is more than a thousand, and it is a long-awaited addition~

The next time I will add more will be on July 1st~
