Zhu Lan in Yonghe Palace finally woke up after sleeping for an hour, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a small round face appear in front of her.

"Yinzhen woke up?" Zhu Lan yawned, she hadn't slept well for several days.

From concubine to concubine, the manpower of Yonghe Palace has increased a lot, and the palace maids and eunuchs sent by the Internal Affairs Office have been carefully screened several times with the help of Mama Li, Zhu Lan has been busy with this matter in the past few days, for fear that any villain with bad intentions will be assigned to Yinzhen and Yinzuo by her.

And now, she is not the only serious master in Yonghe Palace.

Zhu Lan looked through the light curtain and looked at the east side hall, where a dignified little girl sat inside, looking thirteen or fourteen years old.

That was after the big seal, Emperor Tong's concubine was transferred from Jingren Palace to Yonghe Palace's concubine under the pretext that there were two pregnant women in Jingren Palace who couldn't take care of her. The girl is from the Manchurian Yellow Flag Coated Zhang Jia clan, and was selected to enter the palace by the palace maid of the Internal Affairs Office, if Zhu Lan remembers correctly, she should be the mother of the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang in history.

"Eniang, the milk tea king eunuch you said last time has been prepared, can Yinzhen eat it?" Xiao Yinzhen pulled the corners of her clothes, and seeing that Eniang was still in a daze, he wrinkled his little face and climbed onto the bed.

Eunuch Wang is the cook who was dug by Zhu Lan from the imperial dining room to the small kitchen of Yonghe Palace before, he not only loves to laugh and have a sweet mouth, but the things he makes are delicious and beautiful, and every time Zhu Lan has any novel ideas in eating, he is always the first to cheer.

"Huh?" Zhu Lan didn't react for a while, and then her eyes lit up, and she got out of bed with Yinzhen in her arms.

Her taro puree thick milk tea has made her think about it for a long time!

Eunuch Wang mixed Lipu taro and purple sweet potato and steamed them for half an hour, waited until they were completely soft and rotten, pressed them into a puree, added sugar, butter and milk and stirred well according to Zhu Lan's instructions, and then made a bowl of sweet and rich taro paste.

The bottom of the tea is the black tea that Xuan Ye appreciated some time ago, and after the eunuch Wang brewed the tea, he filtered out the tea leaves, poured the tea into the milk that had no fishy smell, and finally poured the taro paste and milk tea into the cup together.

Zhu Lan sucked hard with a pounded straw, and the fragrant and mellow taro paste mixed with milk drilled into her mouth.

"E-niang!" Yin Zhen on the side pouted dissatisfiedly, he really wanted to eat.

Zhu Lan carefully scooped a small spoonful of taro paste mixed with milk with a spoon and handed it to Yinzhen's mouth: "I can only eat a little bit, I'm about to have dinner." ”

Yin Zhen nodded, chewed the sweet and soft taro paste in his mouth, and squinted his eyes happily.

E-Niang is really amazing, there are a lot of new things every day, a lot of delicious food......

Zhu Lan wiped her mouth, glanced at the East Side Hall again, turned her head and whispered to Yao Huang, "Why don't you send a cup to Zhang Jia Gege?" ”

Yao Huang responded with a smile, first instructed the little palace maids to clean up the table in front of Zhu Lan, and then walked to the east side hall with a complete cup of taro paste thick milk tea.

"Gege, Concubine De is here to deliver food." The little palace maid took the milk tea from Yao Huang's hand and walked back to the east side hall quickly.

Zhang Jiashi blinked her warm and watery apricot eyes, pursed her lips and smiled a little shyly, and two small pear vortices appeared at the corners of her mouth. She took the taro paste thick milk tea from the palace maid's hand, and drank it slowly through a straw.

The days of Yonghe Palace are very different from those of Jingren Palace.

Under the hands of Emperor Tong Guifei, Zhang Jia's family has always been trembling and walking on thin ice, and if she speaks loudly, she will be caught by Emperor Tong and punished for copying scriptures. Concubine De, the head of Yonghe Palace, is a very gentle person, and she is also very interesting, whether it is her strange ideas about eating, drinking, and having fun, or the way she smiles and grins every day, it makes Zhang Jiashi think of the days when she played with her sisters in the boudoir.

＊

Inside Gyeongin Palace.

Emperor Tong Guifei rubbed the corners of her forehead, her originally pale face was now without a trace of blood, and her body bones now looked skinny under the wide flag uniform.

may be the reason why she is already weak, she can't eat or sleep well since she was pregnant, and she has to deal with miscellaneous harem affairs. That's why she's losing weight day by day, to the point where she is now.

"How's that good?" Concubine Tong asked Emperor Tong lightly to the Imperial Doctor Lu who was diagnosing her pulse on the side.

Imperial Physician Lu received the favor of the Tong family in his early years, so he was specifically responsible for the birth of Emperor Tong's concubine, but now his face is very bad: "Niangniang is too worried, and the little brother is probably a little bad." ”

Emperor Tong closed her eyes, whose body who knows: "Can it be kept for a few months?" ”

"If you do your best, Niangniang can reduce her worries during this time, and it should be able to drag on for eight months." Imperial Physician Lu wrinkled his eyebrows and pondered.

Eight months...... Enough is enough.

"What's going on with Dai Jia's there?" Concubine Tong asked.

Imperial Physician Lu's originally tense face relaxed: "Dai Jia Gege is healthy, and the fetus in his womb is also healthy." ”

"Can you tell if it's a man or a woman now?" Concubine Tong asked softly.

"I don't dare to confirm, but maybe it's a little brother......" Imperial Doctor Lu muttered.

Generally, the imperial doctor will be ambiguous when he speaks, and if Imperial Doctor Lu can say this, he must be an elder brother in Dai Jia's stomach.

"Niangniang, Fu Jin handed in the message, saying that he wanted to come in and accompany you for a while." Mama Zhang walked quickly into the main hall of Jingren Palace and whispered.

Emperor Tong's originally frowning brows instantly relaxed: "Did E-Niang say when did you come?" ”

After leaving the palace for several years, the appearance of Ama Eniang in her memory was a little blurred, and Emperor Concubine Tong showed a nervous and shy smile.

"Tomorrow is the second girl's birthday, and Fujin means that if you enter the palace tomorrow, you can also let the mother meet her sister." Mama Zhang said.

Concubine Tong's originally ruddy face turned white in an instant, and she was in a trance: "How old is the second sister now?" ”

"Twelve years old, and she's a big girl." Mama Zhang smiled.

"What do you mean?" Emperor Tong Guifei muttered, "The palace knows that my heir is difficult, so you can't wait to let my sister enter the palace?" ”

"What did the mother say?" Mama Zhang was shocked when she heard this, she was the nurse of Emperor Tong's concubine, so she naturally knew that they were sensitive and thoughtful, and she knew that it was not good when she heard this.

"How can Fu Jin mean this, it's just that I think that my mother has been in the palace for so many years, and I'm afraid that I don't remember the appearance of the sisters in the family, so I brought the second girl into the palace."

"If you don't come sooner or later, unless the doctor says that this baby is weak after I get pregnant, I'm afraid I won't be able to grow up after birth."

Imperial Concubine Tong's back, which was originally sitting upright, collapsed suddenly, and the corners of her eyes were shining, "Did Imperial Doctor Lu still say that my body is no longer suitable for conceiving a child?" ”

In fact, Emperor Concubine Tong's guess was not bad at all, since she was only named the imperial concubine instead of the queen, the Tong Mansion has experienced ups and downs in the mood, even if she is as calm as Tong Guowei, she can't help but sigh secretly.

The emperor doesn't need a queen who is too weak to manage the harem, and he doesn't need a weak heir, Emperor Tong's move can be regarded as the end, in this case, the second daughter in the family is not young, and it is not too much to enter the palace in a few years.

The second daughter's health is much better than her sister's, and she has been riding horses and archery since she was a child.

"Mama went back and told Ama Eniang that as long as I am in the palace for a day, the daughter of the Tong family will not be allowed to enter the palace."

Concubine Tong panted and touched her chest, feeling infinitely sad in her heart.

She is still the imperial concubine now, and she is pregnant with a child in her womb, and she has been abandoned by the family, how desolate is this.

"Mother's ......"

Mama Zhang didn't know how to open her mouth for a while, she squirmed her mouth, but finally didn't say anything.

"!! Oh no! ”

A little palace maid hurriedly ran in from outside the hall, and Mama Zhang's eyebrows were raised and she just wanted to open her mouth to scold, but she was shocked by her next sentence.

"Dai Jia Gege just slipped in the yard, and now he has unbearable abdominal pain and a lot of blood!! It looks like it's going to give birth! ”

Emperor Tong bit her lip: "Detain the palace maids and eunuchs in the courtyard for me!" Why don't you go and ask the midwife and the doctor to come! Also, go to the Qianqing Palace to find Long Live Lord! ”

For a time, the entire Jingren Palace was in chaos.

When Zhu Lan heard the news, she was talking about "Journey to the West" to coax Yinzhen to sleep, Yinzhen was still blinking and looking at her curiously, and Poria outside the hall hurriedly came in and said that Dai Jia Gege of Jingren Palace had started.

"Well, E-Niang will continue to talk to you at night, okay?" Zhu Lan touched Yinzhen's head and gently tucked the futon for him.

Yin Zhen nodded obediently.

got up and left Yonghe Palace, Zhu Lan sat on the sedan chair of the concubine and couldn't help but start to diverge her thinking.

It is said that Ge Fohe slipped in the courtyard of Jingren Palace before she became popular, but she was cautious and cautious by nature, how could she do such a careless thing? Zhu Lan couldn't figure it out.

When she entered Jingren Palace, Zhu Lan found that the concubines in the harem were almost there, and this was the first time she saw the scene of the concubines giving birth.

A basin of blood and water was sent out of the delivery room, and Zhu Lan was terrified when she saw it, and the screams of Ge Buddha in the hall were louder than one, which made her shiver.

A light rain began to fall outside the hall.

"Why hasn't you come yet?" Emperor Tong's concubine asked the little eunuch who went to the Qianqing Palace to call people.

"Long live Lord is now discussing things with Lord Suo Etu and Lord Mingzhu...... the little eunuch said softly.

"! Dai Jia Gege fetal position is not correct! ”

The midwife in the hall came out with a bitter face and said busily.

"Long live the adults and children before he came, I was saved!"

When Concubine Tong heard this, she felt that her already uncomfortable body almost wanted to vomit.

The midwife's face was ugly and she turned around and went into the delivery room.

How difficult it is for a woman to give birth, the concubines present are all concerned.

"Born, born!" As the midwife shouted happily, Xuan Ye, who came in a hurry, had a smile on her face.

For a moment, there was a sudden silence in the delivery room.

"What's wrong?" Emperor Tong frowned.

The midwife came out silently holding a swaddling baby, and as soon as she saw Xuan Ye, she knelt in front of him.

Xuan Ye calmly lifted the swaddling clothes, and the baby inside was healthy and ruddy, still smacking his lips unconsciously, looking healthy.

“？”

In the face of Xuan Ye's doubts, the midwife trembled and lifted the swaddling clothes that wrapped the legs and feet of the little brother.

The baby's left leg is a little shorter than the right leg.

Little Brother is a cripple.
