Work overtime

Jiang Yuebai also quickly received the promotion promised by Fan.

Whenever the emperor went to whichever palace, someone from the palace would automatically report it to her without her having to arrange it. When you reach the position of the big boss of a branch, even if you are just an acting president, the people who rush to fawn over you are like the Qing of the River.

Susu told her that, except for the concubines, the other concubines basically gave away money to clear their relationship, and no one dared to give anything.

Jiang Yuebai smiled slightly, lowered his head to check the list in the warehouse in his hand, and concentrated on selecting items.

She also didn't want to wade into troubled waters, but she and her concubine gave a jade Buddha as a gift, and she was Jinxiu's sister, so there was a close relationship between her and it was hard to give money directly.

She calmly took a pen and circled a pair of jade bracelets on the list, then handed the list to Su Su.

"Susu, take these two things in person and send them to Yanxi Palace."

Jiang Yuebai paused, thought for a moment, and then ordered, "Add another pair of gold locks. Just say that this is what Concubine Chun wanted to give to Fan Cairen."

Jinxiu naturally never said that while the opponent is playing the emotional card, we can also play it, and we can play it more skillfully.

Jiang Yuebai stroked her belly, a little worried about the child in her belly.

She checked the Internet in the past few days and found out that for humans, it is very rare to give birth to five children, with a probability of only one in 60 million. Converted to a population of 1.4 billion, there are only 23 cases.

It is very rare for quintuplets to be born at full term. Most of them are born prematurely, and the weight of the fetus is smaller than that of a normal fetus.

These days, she has searched a lot of information online and has become an expert on pregnancy and childbirth.

In ancient times, there was no folic acid, so we could only supplement it through food, such as spinach, cabbage, bananas, strawberries, oranges, etc.

May is the peak season for strawberries, but the strawberries at this time are still wild strawberries and have a strong sour taste. On normal days, she probably wouldn't be able to eat even one. Now that I am pregnant, I like to eat sour food, which has become my favorite.

The instructions for the pill for multiple births say that there is a certain probability that it will lower the IQ of individual fetuses. Although Wanjie Internet said that the second trimester is the critical period for brain development. Only then does it need to increase high-quality protein such as eggs, fish, poultry, beef and mutton, especially deep-sea fish.

But Jiang Yuebai planned to prepare early and start repairing the brain from the moment the embryo was formed. Therefore, I eat various nuts every day and have kelp or seaweed soup every meal, trying to supplement the IQ of the fetus through diet.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, kelp and seaweed are cold foods and may cause miscarriage in pregnant women with weak constitutions.

Jiang Yu was quite worried about this and advised Jiang Yuebai to eat less every day. Jiang Yuebai always excused herself by saying she had no appetite due to morning sickness and only liked the fresh taste of sea vegetables.

Seeing that he could not persuade Jiang Yuebai, Jiang Yu had to start from other aspects of diet to stabilize the fetal gas.

Lixia saw her mistress sewing baby clothes very calmly, and ran out anxiously to ask Han Ziqian. Seeing Han Ziqian who was cold and cold at the door, he couldn't speak. After staring for a long time, he ran to the yard to find Sister Su Su.

After two rounds of searching, Su Su was not found, and she found Qing'er who was guarding the mourning hall and seemed to be more talkative. Just as she was about to speak, the incense ashes in the brazier floated up, and Lixia immediately shut up.

After walking around for a while, Lixia finally went back to the house and asked Han Ziqian, "Eunuch Han, don't you think we don't need to get ready? The emperor will definitely come to see the empress. Aren't we being too rude?"

Han Ziqian looked indifferently at Jiang Yuebai, who was concentrating on sewing small clothes in the room, "Your Majesty, she has her own arrangements."

"Wouldn't this be out of etiquette?" Lixia asked anxiously.

Han Ziqian glanced at Lixia and said, "If you think anything is dirty, take the initiative to wipe and sweep it. The earrings on your ears have been removed."

After Han Ziqian finished speaking, he turned and looked outside.

Lixia subconsciously touched the silver earrings she had worn since she was a child. Although he was reluctant, he took it off obediently and put it in his pocket.

After a while, news came from someone in the palace that after leaving Yanxi Palace, the emperor went to Jingren Palace to visit the concubine and stayed for more than half an hour. When leaving, he took Ye Liangyuan back to Qinzheng Hall and had lunch with King Jin.

Han Ziqian reported these things to Jiang Yuebai, who was very calm.

As a newcomer, she became the acting president in one month based on her skills. Now she is pregnant again, and new projects are being hatched. If there are several hatched at once, there is a high probability that a unicorn company will be hatched.

She has the status and children that others need over their heads. Unlike Concubine Jing and her father, who was within the system, there was no way he could have rebelled against the emperor and made mistakes that would have caused her to be thrown into the cold palace. It can be said that what was once a disadvantage has now become an advantage.

Why are you fighting for favor?

All she had to do was save her own life, don't mess around, don't cause trouble, give birth to the child well, and secure her position as a concubine step by step.

The only one who was as calm as her was He Fei.

Maybe if you no longer have illusions in your heart, you won't be disappointed.

Mo Yu stood next to him, complaining, curling his lips and saying, "The queen has the highest position in the harem, and she has just recovered from a serious illness. The emperor didn't come to see the queen first."

The concubine smiled and said, "Of course the emperor's heir is more important. What's there to argue about? If you fight, you will hurt your body."

Mo Yu looked at her mother-in-law with some doubts. She was not like this in the past. She often shed tears because the emperor went to other palaces instead of coming to Jingren Palace to have tea and meals. Could it be that the empress was disheartened because her cousin entered the palace?

"My lady."

Some of the words that came to my mouth were swallowed again, and replaced with something else, "Just think about it, ma'am."

"What can't you think about? Whatever you can't think about, you will eventually think about it." He Fei said with a smile, happily trimming the asparagus on the table, exuding a comfortable aura that was reassuring.

The concubine raised her eyes to look at Mo Yu, with a smile in her eyes, "Bring over the smallest pair of scissors."

Mo Yu looked at his mother-in-law in surprise. The empress seemed to have stars shining in her apricot eyes, and she replied blankly, "Yes, empress." After taking the small scissors, the concubine was not in a hurry to start pruning, but bent down and walked slowly around the asparagus bonsai. Step by step, look at it carefully.

"It should look good on Concubine Jianing's desk. Mo Yu, what do you think?"

The bonsai on the table is covered with thick green moss, and small rockeries made of Taihu stones are scattered under the asparagus bamboo, and a small pavilion made of painted pottery is installed next to it. Asparagus grows very green and lush, leaning over the small pavilion.

The empress even used a hairpin to dig out a winding path step by step from the small pavilion to the bottom of the mountain.

It is simply a work of art.

Mo Yu praised sincerely: "It's beautiful, very beautiful. Madam, please sit down and have a rest and have a sip of tea."

The concubine nodded with satisfaction, took a sip of tea casually, looked at the bonsai with her cheeks in her hands, imagining the scene when Jiang Yuebai saw this bonsai, with a sweet smile on her face.

Mo Yu looked on the side in a daze. I feel like my wife is getting more and more beautiful.

Some people couldn't be as calm as Jiang Yuebai and He Fei.

The news of the emperor's victorious return to court also spread to the cold palace.

Chen Xuanshi stood holding the door frame, looking into the distance, but was blocked by the high wall and could not see anything. She already knew that her father not only rebelled but also defected to the Tatar side, that both her elder sister and younger sister were married to Munchback, and that her younger sister was pregnant.

Chen Xuan was wronged, she was angry, she was sad

Her father had given up on her.

But she was kept in the dark about her father's conspiracy, and she really had no idea from beginning to end.

In order to succeed in his rebellion or escape from the golden cicada, Chen Ang tried to hide a series of plans and escape routes as closely as possible.

His biological daughter is no exception.

Chen Xuan had tears in his eyes and bit his lip. He couldn't understand why his father had already become the prime minister, inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. He was also the emperor's favorite concubine, and now she was pregnant. Why would he want to rebel.

She is not reconciled.

Thinking of the emperor's favor for her in the past, Chen Xuanshi felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.

The emperor still loves her. Otherwise, why would an experienced nanny be sent to take care of her, and an imperial doctor would consult her every other day?

When the King of Jin saw that the emperor spoke as gently to Ye Liangyuan as he did to Jiang Yuebai, he felt even more uncomfortable than if he had been wronged himself. He felt that Jiang Yuebai had been through life and death again and again, and even had his family destroyed.

Naturally, he knew Ye Liangyuan - the initiator who caused Shi Xi and Little Jasmine to fall into the water. I heard that Jiang Yuebai was bullied before.

Naturally, he doesn't have a good feeling towards Ye Liangyuan.

However, the emperor seemed completely unconcerned and introduced to King Jin, "Ye Liangyuan is the daughter of Ye Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Her father Ye Ming is a good official who is known to everyone to be honest and upright."

King Jin naturally understood that the emperor wanted to reuse Ye Liangyuan's father Ye Ming.

The Ministry of Household Affairs is the country's money bag. It is mainly responsible for the world's registered population, land taxation, natural disaster relief allocations, officials' salaries and rewards, the amount of money and grain, coinage, and the collection of various taxes, as well as the military and local reserves. Grain purchase and management.

It can be said to be one of the largest departments with real power among the six departments. Ye Ming's integrity is unique in this anti-corruption campaign. All the officials in the capital were greedy, but Ye Ming was the only one who was good at it.

After an in-depth investigation, it was found that it was not that Ye Ming was of high moral character and had a peaceful mind, but that Ye Ming himself was very rich.

Ye Ming himself is a talented person with a gentle and elegant personality, and he is also a second-rank official in the imperial court.

The principal wife is the daughter of the former minister of the Ministry of Industry. She is knowledgeable, sensible, generous and wise. No matter how favored the concubine is, her position is very secure. Later, he married several concubines one after another, all of whom were the daughters of wealthy businessmen, and they were given many shops and houses as dowries.

And Ye Ming is naturally a good hand in business and has great business acumen. Manage the shop part-time. The result is much higher than the income within the system. Several stores have become chains and branches have been opened in many places.

Mingming already has wealth and freedom, but his life is extremely simple and low-key. He clocks in and clocks in on time every day.

Ye Suhua's mother was also the concubine of a wealthy businessman. Although she is not the richest among the concubines, she is the most beautiful and charming. Both in her mother's family and her husband's family, she is pampered and her life is very nourishing, and her temperament is naturally very arrogant.

Ye Suhua is the first born. When she was a child, she was very beautiful and cute, much better than the other sisters, so she was particularly favored.

It wasn't until she suffered a lot after entering the palace, causing her mother and younger brother to suffer, that she finally understood many things.

Ye Suhua understood the purpose of accompanying him for lunch. Now that the emperor took the initiative to speak, she immediately expressed her position:

"It is my father's honor to be appreciated by the emperor. I would like to thank the emperor for his kindness on behalf of my father."

Ye Suhua's voice was clear and his attitude was calm and generous, and he couldn't find any faults.

King Jin nodded coldly, looking indifferent.

Ye Suhua knew that King Jin was still holding grudges for Shen Shixi's falling into the water, so he deliberately suppressed his inner discomfort.

It was obviously Shen Shixi who fell down by himself and it had nothing to do with her, but she could only admit it with bitterness.

Ye Suhua hesitated for a moment, stood up, and whispered respectfully, "Prince Jin, I offer you tea instead of wine to apologize."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the emperor anxiously, and then looked back at King Jin.
