"Little master, rest, my eyes hurt after a long time of needlework." Cuiyin has been nursing for more than half a month, and the injuries on her body have healed, so she hurried to serve An Lingrong. With such a shared tribulation, Cuiyin became more and more intimate with An Lingrong, "It's only been more than two months now, and it's still too early to use this belly pocket." ”

An Lingrong rested his eyes and said with a smile: "You don't know, the child grows up fast, and he will grow up in a while, so he has to embroider more while he has time now, and when the child falls to the ground, where will there be time to embroider these." She touched the tiger's head on her belly pocket and smiled lovingly, "My child must be born dressed beautifully." However, I also listened to Cuiyin's words, put down the needle and thread for the time being, looked at the snow outside the door that had not yet melted, and suddenly remembered, "Ming'er is Laba, Sister Mei will have a canonization ceremony today, you let Dill go to the warehouse to pick out a few good ones and send them to Chuxiu Palace for me." ”

Cuiyin leaned over and said, "Xia Chang is almost eight months pregnant, and I heard that Mrs. Xia handed in a sign today to visit." ”

An Lingrong was slightly stunned: "Is it Xia Changzai's mother?" She remembered that summer, winter and spring were concubines.

"No, it's Lord Xia's original wife, Xia Changzai's mother-in-law." Cuiyin shook her head and said, "When Cardamom went to the Internal Affairs Mansion this morning to receive the New Year's Day reward, I saw a woman wearing auspicious blessings walking into Jingren Palace from a distance. ”

"Xia Changzai's pregnancy is only eight months old around the Lantern Festival, and Mrs. Xia entered the palace today, I'm afraid she came to explore the wind." An Lingrong thought about it and gathered the rabbit fur blanket on his body, "It is said that when Xia Chang was at home, he was quite loved by his father and brother, and he never mentioned this Mrs. Xia, so he didn't like her." That's it, don't talk about her, go get a bowl of jade soymilk for me, my mouth is bitter, and I always want to eat something sweet. ”

vomited in the morning, and An Lingrong still feels uncomfortable in his mouth.

Cuiyin went down in response, but unexpectedly, the front and rear feet dill came in and replied, saying that Mrs. Xia had come to visit.

An Lingrong was stunned for a moment, although she felt strange, but she still let her in.

"Concubine Xu's has seen Rong agree." After Mrs. Xia came in, she did not despise An Lingrong because of her low status, but made a big salute to her, and after An Lingrong got up, she sat down on the small stool under the bed, she raised her eyes to look at An Lingrong, and tried to show a little smile on her serious and rigid face, "I heard Chun'er talk about Rong agreeing, he is the kindest person in this palace, and the concubine has seen it in person, and it is so." ”

I could hear that Mrs. Xia was a person who would not flatter, and after saying a dry word, she didn't follow, and An Lingrong didn't care, she saw that Mrs. Xia's drunken man didn't mean to drink, so she asked: "Madame and I don't know each other, I don't know why she suddenly came to me today?" Seeing that she was still a little hesitant, she said, "I'm just a small promise, now in this palace, the most favored are the nobles of Guan, the most powerful is the concubine, the most powerful is Concubine Hua, and the most noble is the queen's mother. ”

Mrs. Xia's cheeks twitched, and after a long while, she sighed deeply, and said slowly: "Before entering the palace, the concubine told Chun'er that the palace is no better than the family, you must always be cautious, you can't lose your proportions, and you can't do anything out of the ordinary. Previously, the news of her being grounded always came every few days, and the concubine was in suspense every day, so she was afraid that something would happen, but fortunately I met you. There was a hint of gratitude in Mrs. Xia's eyes, "Chun'er and her concubine have said a lot of things about you, and they are really indescribably grateful." Chun'er was in a difficult situation at that time, and the adults also said that if Chun'er was so unfavorable, let the daughter of the Xia family's side branch enter the palace to take her place, at that time, the concubine was really afraid, although Chun'er was not the concubine's biological child, but she was raised under the concubine's knees since she was a child, and naturally hoped that she would be well all her life. ”

An Lingrong's mood was a little complicated.

People in this world really can't look at the surface. It is rumored that Xia Wei, who loves Xia Dongchun very much, will easily give up his daughter for the glory of the family, but Mrs. Xia, who is particularly difficult to get along with, has tried her best for this daughter who is not her own, even if she is not an emotionally exposed woman, she still can't hide her love for her daughter at this moment.

Even Xia Dongchun is pregnant, Xia Wei is happy that their Xia family may usher in a prince, but Mrs. Xia is worried about whether this child will kill Xia Dongchun.

"Today, the concubine went into the palace to see Chun'er, and she was really distressed." Mrs. Xia talked about Xia Dongchun again, "The child has been simple since he was a child, and he didn't know that he was killed miserably this time, he just cared about being afraid every day, it was only less than eight months, and he saw that the belly was about to catch up with the size of a pregnant woman in labor, but how big the child was, I don't know how dangerous it would be on the day of delivery?" She looked at An Lingrong and begged, "Chun'er said, she only believes in the little master in this palace, and the concubine has the cheekiness to come to see you today, because she wants to ask the little master to save Chun'er's life." ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Xia got up and bowed again.

An Lingrong hurriedly asked Cuiyin to help her up, struggling in her heart, but she couldn't stand Mrs. Xia's expectant gaze, she finally nodded slowly. She couldn't refuse a mother's deep request, Mrs. Xia reminded her of her mother, An Lingrong couldn't help but soften.

After sending Mrs. Xia away, An Lingrong was silent for a long time before letting Cuiyin avoid people and ask Wen Po, who was preparing to deliver for Xia Dongchun.

And after leaving the Chunxi Palace and walking out of the Forbidden City, Mrs. Xia immediately changed her expression after getting into the carriage, and snorted with disgust: "What kind of stinky girl from a small family can also stand Mrs. Ben's salute, looking at her lofty appearance, I thought I was amazing, but it was just a promise that was rejected by the emperor, and I dared to take Qiao in front of Mrs. Ben." ”

The grandmother who followed together flattered her flatteringly, and then asked the most important thing about entering the palace today: "Madame, can you tell the queen mother about the matter?" ”

"Naturally, everything is arranged, I look at the queen mother, I wish that no one in our family would enter the palace." Mrs. Xia found a more comfortable posture to lean on, and frowned, "I don't know what kind of yin owl I committed this year, and there was a plague, my lord got the news early, let us all prepare to stock up on the medicine, don't move around easily in the near future, if it weren't for thinking that there would be such a thing as entering the palace in the first month, I wouldn't want to come out today." She held a warm hand, with a look of disgust in her eyes, "I look at the unlucky birth of the five girls, and it will be difficult to give birth, if she dies, the days will be long, this prince and our Xia family will be far away, even if she picks a daughter from a side branch and sends it to the palace, she may not be able to climb the friendship, or she is good to live well." ”

A puppet who has been raised, and a newcomer who is not from his own family and may have whimsical ideas, which one is better to control, Mrs. Xia doesn't need to think about it, so she went to ask An Lingrong for a small place, otherwise, who in the palace is she pleased, she wants to burn a small promised cold stove?

Mrs. Xia glanced at the Dong'e Ejiao that An Lingrong gave her before going out, and threw it to Mama with a flick of her hand.

An Lingrong in the palace didn't know at all, in order to save Xia Dongchun, he also quarreled with Fen Ruo, and finally couldn't resist An Lingrong, Fen Ruo finally made a concession: "If the little master fails this time, you must not expose yourself and put yourself in danger, otherwise, the slave will definitely push Xia Chang out to protect the little master!" ”

Seeing that Fen Ruo was relieved, An Lingrong also took a step back and promised to protect himself well.

She spent a lot of money to buy Mama Zheng and Mama Zhou, and carefully inquired about the situation that may be encountered during the birth of Xia Dongchun, the two are also experienced, one of them immediately said that Xia Chang has raised the fetus to term, if it can be launched immediately, maybe it can keep the mother and child safe, and the other also nodded quickly, saying that although it is difficult to deliver prematurely, they are sure.

An Lingrong locked his eyebrows and thought for a while: "In this case, then without further ado, it will be launched on Chinese New Year's Eve, it may be done?" ”

Mama Zheng and Mama Zhou are both veterans who have delivered babies for decades, and naturally there is a way to make Xia, Dongchun start production earlier, they touched the one hundred taels of silver tickets hidden in their chests, squinted and smiled so much that they could only see Yahuazi, and nodded again and again.

"If the two grandmothers do well, when I give birth in the future, I will naturally remember the two, and the reward at that time will only be more than now." An Lingrong looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "But I also want to remind the two of you, don't get carried away with your form, and forget what you should and shouldn't say when you see it." Although my position is not high, I still have the ability to let the two of you disappear into the palace quietly, can you remember clearly? Well? ”

An Lingrong's nasal voice made Mama Zheng and Mama Zhou suddenly excited, and said in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, the slaves and maids understand." "The reward given to them by the queen is only twenty or thirty taels, and the one in front of her can be more than three or four times higher, not to mention, the queen just asks them to take care of the imperial heirs more, and they can abandon the adults if necessary, and this little lord Rong only wants to keep the adults as much as possible, how to calculate it, they are all earned, anyway, the two ends are not offended, why not?

Mama Zheng and Mama Zhou retired happily.

An Ling had a lot on her mind, but somehow, her heart was not relaxed at all, she always felt that the queen still had a back hand, but when she gave birth, in addition to starting on Wen Po, where else could she start?

"The little master has been tired for a day, it's time to take medicine." Fen Ruo came in with a tonic with a straight face.

An Lingrong looked at Fen Ruo's black face, smiled slightly flatteringly, and drank the medicine in one gulp: "Auntie, don't be angry, I'll lie down and rest." ”

Fen Ruo's face looked a little better.

The next day is Laba, the palace has to give the queen mother to ask for peace, An Lingrong has not been three months, early in the morning Zhuxi came to pass the queen mother's words: "The snow has stopped these days, the coldest time, the queen mother cares about the little master's body has not yet healed, let the slave maid come to inform him, this morning's palace please An Xiao Master does not have to go." ”

An Lingrong knew that the Queen Mother was still angry with her, and she didn't want to defend herself, so she presented a copy of her own hand-copied "Baohua Sutra" to show her filial piety.

"She's a good one." The Queen Mother glanced at the scriptures and snorted coldly, "During this time, the mourning family has been detaining the emperor and not letting them meet, but the emperor didn't say anything, only asked Su Peisheng to tell Fen Ruo to take care of him from time to time. I don't know what I thought of, the Queen Mother's eyes hurt slightly, "If it's ......"

"Rong promised to sincerely respect the Queen Mother, these days after she moved in, except for the beginning of the weak body can not get out of bed, recently every day is shushing the cold and asking for warmth, the Queen Mother looks at this forehead, hand warmth, shoes and socks, how good the stitches are sewn, and the golden soup and duck soup sent yesterday, the oil flowers are clean at a glance, the bird's nest cod soup sent by the previous child is fresh and salty, and the slave maid looks at the Queen Mother and eats sweetly, which shows her intentions." Zhu Xi saw it in his eyes, and saw that the Queen Mother was softer, so he opened his mouth to persuade, "The Queen Mother advises the emperor, don't be angry with Concubine Hua, the slave and maid are guilty of a word, and the Queen Mother should not be angry with Rong Rong, she knows that she has never complained after being demoted to a promise, and she is also an honest child." ”

The Queen Mother smacked her: "You old goods, you received something good from her, help her talk like this." But when he said this, his tone softened a lot, "It's embarrassing for her, I've been pregnant for more than two months, and I haven't said a word to the emperor." That's it, you go and talk to Su Peisheng, Rong promised to have a fetal gas, and let the emperor go to see her. At the end, he added, "I said that it was said by the mourners." ”

It's not all for An Lingrong, the emperor is also accommodating the queen mother's temper this time, if it is changed to usual, even if he is still polite on the face, his heart will be on fire, and he will never be as respectful as he is now.

"Yes." Zhu Xi hurriedly smiled and went.

The Queen Mother drank the tea that the emperor had just sent yesterday, and sighed in her heart. I thought that Chunyuan's position in the emperor's heart was irreplaceable, but I didn't expect that an An Lingrong would emerge today, as an emperor, he loved one person so much, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse. Thinking of this, the Queen Mother was worried again, and suddenly remembered another person.
