Niu Hulu followed the aunt in charge step by step into the gate of Yongshou Palace.

Yongshou Palace is the second courtyard, the main hall has three rooms with the east and west halls, the main hall of the backyard is five, and there is a small well pavilion in the southeast of the courtyard.

Niu Hulu entered the main hall under the leadership of his aunt.

"There's Aunt Law." Niu Hulu was a girl with gentle eyebrows, and her whole body was wrapped in a silver fox, revealing only a small face the size of a palm.

On the side, the girl who came out of the house with Niu Hulu stuffed a few golden melon seeds into the hands of the aunt in charge.

"I'm new here, I don't know anything, and I need my aunt to mention more."

The aunt in charge has been in the palace for many years, and she has also seen the second girl sent in by Niu Hulu's family before. Empress Xiao Zhaoren's behavior is upright, and the heroism between her eyebrows and the fierceness of her gestures can almost smash all the charms and spirits in this harem, which is a typical Manchurian aunt and grandmother style.

And her sister-in-law seems to be two extremes with her.

The third girl of the Niu Hulu family stood in the main hall of the Yongshou Palace in a daze, her face soft as a drop of water.

But if they think that she is really like water, it is really a big mistake, Niu Hulu Wen Sheng took a lot of information about the current harem concubines from the mouth of the aunt in charge, and after the aunt in charge retreated, only the nurse Lin and the personal maid Ying'er were left by her side.

"Gege, let's drink some water first." Ying'er waved away the little palace maid in the hall and walked to Niu Hulu with a teacup.

Niu Hulu pursed his lips and said softly: "Mama, what will my sister think about when she dies?" ”

When she said this, she didn't think about hearing any answer from Mama Lin's mouth, Niu Hulu just walked to the window, looking at the Kunning Palace that had been banned and the Jingren Palace where Concubine Tong lived.

Empress Hyo Zhaoren died a year after entering the palace, and the explanation from the palace was that her sister suffered from a strange disease, and her body gradually weakened and finally she was unable to return to heaven. Niu Hulu did not accept this statement, my sister practiced martial arts and archery beside her grandfather since she was a child, and read poetry and books, she can count the number of times she has been sick throughout the year, and how to enter the palace inexplicably suffered from strange diseases.

Quite simply, because she gets in the way of others.

Long live the second queen, and this queen is pregnant. Even if this news is controlled to the death, it is only in Kunning Palace, but people with a heart can still inquire about it.

The queen is pregnant, and the crown prince is no longer the only concubine.

Different from the embarrassing situation of the Hesheri clan, the Niu Hulu clan is a down-to-earth Manchurian noble, such a family not only has a queen but also a prince, for the prince who is still young and has lost his mother, it is a stumbling block, or the kind that will break his head and bleed if he is not careful.

It is impossible for the Hesheri family to let the queen give birth to a concubine to shake their status, and the Tong family is even dreaming of continuing the family of the Son of Heaven, and her sister was miscarried under such circumstances.

postpartum hemorrhage, and was calculated by the villain of the Tong family to stay on the sickbed until death.

Niu Hulu now feels cold when she thinks about it, it is her sister, the sister who supported her mother and her alone after her father's death, and the sister who has been studying with her since she was a child, and died in Kunning Palace because of the selfish desires of these people.

The hands and feet of the Hesheri family and the Tong family were very small in secret, so almost no one noticed it at all.

But my sister had a loyal servant who secretly saved a copy of the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor and sent it to Niu Hulu's house. Niu Hulu slowly touched the vine of the imperial doctor, and finally found out the culprit of the persecution of his sister.

Didn't the Hesheri family want to be the Son of Heaven's family? She's going to pull the prince down from that position!

Didn't the Tong family come up with a queen? She wants Concubine Tong to be a queen for the rest of her life!

When Zhu Lan's pregnancy was in the late stage, her appetite began to deteriorate again, and every time Xuan Ye came to Yonghe Palace, she could see Xiao Yinzhen lying beside Zhu Lan obediently, looking at Zhu Lan worriedly.

Zhu Lan vomited again, and the vomiting was very miserable, and in the end, she could only spit out a few drops of yellow water, and then lay on the bed in a huff.

"What do those cooks in the kitchenette do?" As soon as Xuan Ye came in, he saw Zhu Lan, who looked a little miserable, and shouted angrily, which made the palace maids and eunuchs in Yonghe Palace kowtow in fright.

Zhu Lan shook her head: "Blame them for what they do, it's not that they don't make it delicious, it's just that I can't smell anything now." ”

No matter what the smell turned into a taste in front of Zhu Lan, or a taste that was difficult to swallow, she often felt that there was something serious wrong with her sense of smell.

Yao Huang helped her drink two sips of water and suppressed the bitterness in her mouth.

"You've had a really hard time conceiving this baby." Xuan Ye sat down beside her and took over Yao Huang's work, "When this kid is born, I must punish him well." ”

"How does Long Live know that it must be a little brother? If it's a little Gege, long live the master, are you willing to beat her? Zhu Lan thought about it, and she was not sure about the gender of the child in her belly.

Xuan Ye was stunned, most of the women in the palace wanted an elder brother to be around, and the more the better, so in front of him, any pregnant woman would not say that she would be a character in her womb.

"If it's a ......," Xuan Ye actually began to think seriously.

"Then it depends on whether Maru is reluctant to punish her." Xuan Ye thought about it for a while, and finally his gaze fell on Zhu Lan.

Zhu Lan is embarrassed, she is really the kind of mother in the "loving mother and many defeated children", the kind that only praises and dotes on children and rarely criticizes.

Fortunately, Yinzhen is a smart and well-behaved child by birth, so even if he has been immersed in Zhu Lan's boastful education mode for a long time, he has not become a naughty bear child who does not know the height of the sky.

"The Imperial Doctor has come so many times, did you say how you can eat again?"

After talking for a long time, the topic went back to Zhu Lan's disappearing appetite, and Zhu Lan's mind flashed a lot of imperial doctor's instructions, but she couldn't think clearly for a while, so she had to say stupidly: "It doesn't seem to be, it should be normal." When I was pregnant with Yinzhen before, there would be a time when I couldn't eat anything, it should be normal, right? ”

She looked at Xuan Ye with some uncertainty, and was half relieved when she saw that he didn't refute.

……

For Zhu Lan's problem of not being able to eat anything, the small kitchen of Yonghe Palace has been busy and crazy during this time, running on the ground, swimming in the water, flying in the sky, the cooks in the small kitchen have already done a round, even so, Zhu Lan's appetite is not a little better.

Until a little palace maid proposed to the eunuch in the small kitchen to make a jar of sour bamboo shoots.

"When the slave maid was at home in the past, E-niang couldn't eat anything every day, until she ate this jar of sour bamboo shoots, and it was much smoother to eat later." The little palace maid said timidly below, Zhu Lan looked at the sour bamboo shoots brought by the person in the small kitchen with wide eyes.

The smell was definitely not good, and even Mama Li frowned.

But Zhu Lan was hungry.

There were many scenes deleted in her mind for a while, and all of these pictures were a bowl of steaming snail noodles.

The people in the small kitchen began to get busy again, but everyone's faces were not good, because there was a strange smell in the whole kitchen, which was definitely not a good smell, and even a little stinky.

The old eunuch put the powder in a pot under cold water to retain the strong taste. Stir-fry the ginger, garlic, green onion, spices, and shiso together to taste, and then put the prepared snail meat and sour bamboo shoots down together. When chili oil is poured over the boiled noodles, a fragrant and smelly smell wafts through the kitchen.

"What is this food...... Niangniang" The little palace maids and the little eunuchs below were whispering, curiously probing their brains outside the small kitchen.

The lady eats snail noodles.

Zhu Lan used chopsticks to send the sour bamboo shoots into her mouth, sour and spicy, a bite of the yuba is full of juice, stinky but just the right fragrance, very contradictory but she likes it very much.

It didn't take long to finish eating.

Zhu Lan gently put down the bowl in her hand, wiped her mouth elegantly, and put another bowl of snail noodles in front of her in front of Gina with a eager expression.

"Is this really edible?" Gina sniffed, the terrible smell in the air that put her off for a moment.

"I'm done eating." Zhu Lan pushed the bowl in front of her again, "You can try it." ”

Gina reluctantly picked up a stick of flour, chewed a few bites, her eyes lit up, and she happily began to taste the flour in the bowl.

After eating and drinking, they began to get down to business, although this matter didn't have much to do with the two of them...... No, there is still a little bit of what I have to say.

"Sister Lan, where is the Dai Jia Gege who lives in your West Side Hall going to move?" Gina asked curiously.

There is a lot of movement in the west side hall cleaning up things, and the harem is also talking about it, I don't know if the baby doll in Dai Jia's belly will fall into the hands of that lucky person.

Zhu Lan paused, and the expression on his face was a little strange.

Geffer congratulated her...... I'm going to move to Gyeongin Palace. ”

Not to mention how surprised Gina was, the harem concubines were stunned by the news that fell from the sky.

Everyone knows that Concubine Tong has been in the palace for many years and has no children, but neither the fourth elder brother nor the fifth elder brother was carried to Jingren Palace by the Long Live Lord before, and everyone acquiesced that Concubine Tong herself was still bent on having another one for herself, but now she is silent, and she actually took the elder brother in Dai Jia's belly, how can people not be shocked?

And in Jingren Palace, Concubine Tong was not as happy as everyone thought.

"Why do I have to hold Dai Jia's child?" Concubine Tong frowned and looked at Mama Zhang, she felt that she was becoming more and more strange with her mother.

"Gege, you think, if Dai Jia's baby is Gege, it will also be the help of the little brother to marry Mongolia in the future; If it is Elder Brother, wouldn't it be a natural ally of Little Elder Brother to raise you, and having one more brother is not necessarily a bad thing. Mama Zhang persuaded, "Besides, if Gege is pregnant with a small Gege now, let's not make two preparations." ”

Concubine Tong was silent, her body knew that it was not easy to conceive a child, if this child was a daughter, she would not be able to conceive an elder brother.

So she glanced at Mama Zhang and didn't say anything more.
