The honor guard of the emperor and the queen leaving the palace was mighty, and all the concubines gathered at the Xuanwu Gate to see each other off.

"Hua Guifei," the emperor stopped, stretched out his hand to let Hua Guifei come forward, "The queen is not here, you have the highest position in the palace, although you are the assistant of Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui, but you must always pay attention and see everything." As he spoke, he told Shen Meizhuang and Concubine Jing, "You two must take care of the affairs of the palace well, and often report to Concubine Hua, don't miss anything." ”

"The concubines obey the emperor's will." The three of them should be in unison.

The queen also followed and explained two sentences, and then followed the emperor's steps to get into the sedan chair.

"The Emperor and the Empress are driving—"

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the queen." The honor guard walked away with great momentum, and everyone looked at each other from afar, and it did not disperse for a long time.

Hua Guifei looked at the honor guard who had already gone away, touched her stomach and said lazily: "This time to pray for blessings, only the queen is alone with the emperor, I am afraid that it is not only to ask for rain all day, if you can ask for a prince, the queen can be satisfied." She lifted her eyelids and glanced behind her, "Concubine Guan, did you say yes?" ”

"If the queen is really pregnant, the concubine will be happy, won't she?" Zhen Huan hid a needle in her mian, and asked with a smile.

Hua Guifei sneered and looked back: "Of course, this palace will be happy if you want to be a concubine, right?" ”

"The queen's mother is the world, if she gets a son-in-law, it is the joy of the Qing Dynasty. Naturally, no one will be upset about this. Zhen Huan replied with a smile.

Hua Guifei saw that she didn't leak, and she didn't want to have a seizure at this time, she had already thought of a countermeasure to teach Zhen Huan a lesson, and she was not in a hurry at this time, so she said casually: "Concubine Wan's speech is getting better and better." ”

Concubine Jing played a round on the side: "The concubine Niangniang and the concubine are pregnant, it is not appropriate to stand outside for a long time, let's go back to the palace first." ”

"Although Concubine Jing now has the right to associate the six palaces, but the concubine is the concubine, the concubine is the concubine, just one word is inferior, and the inferior person must bow down to the ear, and must not be disobedient, Concubine Jing, do you understand?" Concubine Hua raised her voice, scolded Concubine Jing, and glanced at Shen Meizhuang who was standing behind her, "This palace serves the emperor first, you are last, when this palace is a side blessing, you are just a grid in the palace room, even if you are lucky enough to be on an equal footing with the palace in the future, you must remember that you are a person in the palace room." In front of this palace, this palace has not spoken, and there is no time for you to speak, understand? ”

After saying something, Concubine Jing really couldn't raise her head.

She was already a concubine, but she was said so unbearable by Concubine Hua that for a while, her face was red, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only respond: "Yes." ”

After Hua Guifei finished talking about this call, everyone dispersed.

Zhen Huan took Concubine Jing's hand, comforted her silently, and together with Shen Meizhuang, the three of them returned to Broken Yuxuan together.

"Juqing, go and ask Imperial Doctor Zhang." As soon as he entered the Broken Jade Xuan, Shen Meizhuang hurriedly ordered someone to find the imperial doctor, because Wen Shichu was ordered to leave the palace with the holy car, so Zhen Huan's fetus was temporarily diagnosed by Zhang Mi.

"Hurry up, hurry up, help the concubine in and sit." Concubine Jing's voice also sounded.

Hearing the movement, An Lingrong got up and came out: "Why have the two sisters been gone for so long, I counted the hours and came over, waiting left and right and waiting for no one to see, which made me so worried." She saw that Zhen Huan's face was not good, and hurriedly asked her to sit down, "Sister Guan has only been out for a long time, why is her face white?" But what happened? ”

Shen Meizhuang sighed heavily: "What else can I do, isn't it just Concubine Hua who is making things difficult for Huan'er?" The emperor and queen had just left, and she couldn't hold it anymore. She looked at Zhen Huan and An Lingrong and frowned, "Huan'er, Rong'er, I'm really worried about the two of you." At present, the Huagui Concubine is the largest in the palace, and it is indispensable for me and Concubine Jing to listen to her command, just looking at today's situation, I and Concubine Jing may not be able to suppress her. ”

"It's like she doesn't have the power in her hands." Concubine Jing also sighed, looked at Zhen Huan and said, "Even if I want to protect you, I really can't do it." Fortunately, the emperor will be back soon, and it won't be a big deal. ”

"Don't worry, it's just that I'm a little dizzy after standing under the sun for a long time." Although Zhen Huan said that she was fine, her face was pale, her lips were blue, and she didn't look like she was okay no matter how she looked at it.

At this time, Zhang Mi came in with a medicine box to ask for a safe pulse, and An Lingrong, Shen Meizhuang and Concubine Jing all watched him take Zhen Huan's pulse.

"Guan Concubine Niangniang has suffered from some summer heat, but it doesn't matter." Zhang Mi got up and replied after taking the pulse, "But dare to ask the little master, have you often been restless recently?" Occasionally, you still feel heavy and your belly is slightly stiff? ”

Zhen Huan didn't have the strength to speak, and Cui Jinxi replied on the side: "Our little master has lost his appetite since the beginning of summer, and he can't sleep well at night, so he is often tired. The feeling of heaviness in her body and slight stiffness in her belly ...... "She didn't know very well, so she looked up at Zhen Huan.

"When you stand or sit for a long time, you feel a little bit like this." Zhen Huan said hypocritically.

Zhang Mi nodded and said: "The little master's fetus is fine, but after the summer, the weather is hot, and the small body's body is relatively weak, so it is not suitable to walk under the scorching sun, so it is better to pay more attention to rest." ”

"There's Dr. Lao." Zhen Huan nodded, and then ordered Liuzhu to send Zhang Mi out.

Not long after, Shen Meizhuang and Concubine Jing also got up to say goodbye because they had to take care of the affairs of the palace, leaving only An Lingrong to accompany Zhen Huan.

"Sister, the emperor and the queen have left the palace, the queen mother is sick again, this palace is full of gorgeous concubines, I am really worried about you." An Lingrong thought of all kinds of things in his previous life and was worried.

Although the real reason that led to Zhen Huan's miscarriage back then was Shu Zhenjiao, the direct reason was that Concubine Hua Guifei made it difficult to kneel in Yikun Palace for a long time, in this life, no matter what, she had to keep the child for Zhen Huan.

I'm afraid, I'm afraid, what the queen has done in a place she can't see.

"Don't worry, I'll try to avoid her, I'll learn from you if it's a big deal, just stay in the palace and don't go out." Zhen Huan took a sip of tea, recovered a little bit of energy, picked up the fan and shook it, driving away a bit of the heat in her heart.

An Lingrong knew at a glance that this was not the silk fan she made for Zhen Huan: "This is made by Chun'er for her sister, right?" ”

"How do you know?" Zhen Huan was a little surprised, "If it weren't for this incense pendant, I wouldn't be able to tell which one was given by you and which one was given by Chun'er." As he spoke, he exposed the aromatherapy ball hanging from the handle of the fan to An Lingrong.

An Lingrong's eyebrows jumped suddenly, thinking of the miscarriage of the Fucha noble, and her intuition told her that there was also a problem with this fan, so she reached out and took the fan from Zhen Huan's hand, pointed to the lines on it and said: "Sister take a closer look, Chun'er's winding silk is not neat horizontally and vertically, because of lack of patience, it looks a little messy, and it will not have such a luster in the sun." ”

An Lingrong raised the fan and tilted it slightly towards the sun, and a faint cyan flashed on the fan surface, which was fleeting, she couldn't help blinking her eyes, but when she looked at it again, she couldn't see it, and thought she was wrong.

"Really." Zhen Huan looked at the fan carefully, nodded suddenly, "The silk fan you gave me, one handle of the silk on the fan is vertical, the other is horizontal, symmetrical and neat, and Chun'er is criss-crossed, showing playfulness." She pursed her lips and chuckled.

An Lingrong also bent his eyebrows and smiled, then picked up the aromatherapy ball and sniffed it quietly.

Sandalwood, instant incense, yellow ripe, cloves, good ginger, sweet pine, fine pungent ...... It's the common cinnamon incense, and there is no musk and other spices that hurt the fetus, is she too careful? An Lingrong blinked his eyes slightly, and his heart slowly loosened. Also, this is made by Chun'er herself and given to Sister Guan, and it didn't go through the queen's hand in the middle, so there shouldn't be any problems.

At night, the sweet and greasy fragrance of Huanyi was lit in the Yikun Palace, and the gorgeous concubine sat down in front of the dresser and took off the last golden hairpin.

"The one in the Chunxi Hall is covered by the Queen Mother, and he can't move, but the one in Broken Yuxuan can teach a good lesson." Hua Guifei looked at her good-looking self in the mirror, thinking of Zhen Huan's confrontation today, her eyes suddenly sharpened, "Recently, the emperor finally stopped reprimanding his brother, just because Zhen Yuandao impeached him several times, which caused the emperor to be dissatisfied with his brother again. Relying on his daughter to be favored in the palace and pregnant, Zhen Yuandao was powerful and blessed in the previous dynasty, is it really good to bully this palace? ”

"The queen is not in the palace, and the queen mother is not in good health, this palace belongs to the highest position of the mother, so naturally the mother can clean up whoever she wants." Song Zhi combed Hua Guifei's hair and said with a clever smile.

Concubine Hua smiled with a smile, raised her hand and yawned, got up and prepared to go to bed: "Lingzhi, is the fetal medicine in this palace good?" ”

"Niangniang, it's been drying for a while, it's just right to drink now." Lingzhi's eyes were secretive, and he walked in front of Hua Guifei with a bowl of thick decoction, "Imperial Doctor Zhou said, the weather has been getting hotter and hotter recently, thinking that Niangniang had an old disease, so today I changed a new prescription for Niangniang, and the entrance may be more bitter." ”

"It doesn't matter if it's bitter, what matters is that this palace can be safe." Hua Guifei lifted the medicine bowl and drank it all, the bitter taste immediately spread to her entire mouth and nose, she frowned, sat quietly for a long time before suppressing the nausea that turned up her throat, and stuffed a candied fruit into Song Zhi's hand, "When the child is born, if it is a boy, this palace will definitely fight for him to become the crown prince, so as to ensure the honor and wealth of this palace's mother's family for thousands of generations." ”

Hua Guifei touched her stomach again and again, and fell asleep with a smile on her face.

For half a month, Hua Guifei summoned all the concubines to Yikun Palace to listen to the training, often for three or four hours, how everyone used to talk to the queen, and now how to accompany her to talk, as if she was in charge.

An Lingrong was jealous of Huan Yixiang in her palace, and only shirked her heavy body, she had never been there once, and the queen mother was in front of her, so Concubine Hua couldn't do anything with her.

Zhen Huan is much more embarrassed, she has just passed three months, the fetal image has been stable, and it is not good to make excuses not to go every time, hindering the power of Concubine Hua, she will always go once or twice in three or five times, but around the case, she still feels that every time she comes back from Yikun Palace, her body is very uncomfortable.

"I've been sleeping for a long time and I'm tired, and my back hurts." Zhen Huan finished drinking the fetal pills, rubbing her waist tiredly, Ju Qing immediately stepped forward to rub it for her, she looked up at Cui Jinxi and Liuzhu, "I've been working hard in Yikun Palace these days, and I'm really tired." She didn't know what incense was smoked in her palace, and I only felt choked when I smelled it. ”

"Hua Guifei likes to use incense the most, and it is smoked strongly, it feels very fragrant when it smells from afar, and when I get closer, I feel that it is too fragrant." Liuzhu wrinkled his nose and said.

Cui Jinxi said on the side: "The little master has always said that he is weak and tired these days, why don't you drink hot water and rest for a while, the slave maid will go and ask Xiao Yunzi to invite Doctor Zhang." ”

Zhen Huan nodded: "Go and come back quickly." ”

Cui Jinxi responded, only took two steps, and saw Zhou Ninghai walking in with no one in his eyes, and walked all the way to Zhen Huan before stopping, and the salute was very regular: "The slave asks for peace to the concubine of Guan." ”

Zhen Huan knew nothing good when she saw him, so she only said lightly to let him get up.

"Spread the words of Concubine Hua, please come to Yikun Palace to listen to the matter." Zhou Ninghai had a smile on his face, but he spoke unceremoniously.

"It's not that I don't go to the palace, it's just that I'm not feeling well today, can I apologize to the concubine on my behalf." Zhen Huan rubbed her sour waist and said slowly.

As if he had already guessed that Zhen Huan would refuse, Zhou Ninghai's smile did not change at all: "Concubine Hua Guifei is ordered by the emperor to take charge of the six palaces......"

Before he opened his mouth to say a few words, he couldn't bear the same temper as Zhu Cannon: "Didn't you see that my little master was unwell?" Before leaving the palace, the queen also specially instructed that the little master was pregnant, and even the daily greetings could be waived, not to mention that she was unwell now. Even if the queen is there, there is no need to go. "It's like this every time, taking out the emperor to oppress people, forcing her little master to go to Yikun Palace.

Zhou Ninghai just smiled and said: "Concubine Hua knows that Concubine Wan is weak and noble, so the special servant came to invite you, if you don't go, how can Concubine Hua rectify the affairs of the harem?" Concubine Hua Guifei is in charge of the six palaces, that is the emperor's meaning. Niangniang, don't go against the emperor's holy will. ”

"My father-in-law is right, but I am not feeling well in this palace today, and I really can't make the trip." Zhen Huan spoke again.

"Rong Guiren has a seven-month-old body, so naturally he can't go, and Guan Concubine Niangniang is so squeamish just over three months, which is really despicable." Zhou Ninghai's words sharpened, "The other concubines have arrived, Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui are still here early in the morning, and now they are only waiting for you." He said in a cold tone, "Concubine Wan Niangniang is still please, don't be late, make Niangniang angry, but everyone is not good." ”
