The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

Chapter 28.pregnant

The next day, the emperor came to Xinghua Village for lunch after dealing with government affairs, and An Lingrong prepared a table of delicious dishes.

"Rong'er has a heart, hasn't this table been filled with dishes for a long time?" The emperor took a bite of the bamboo shoots, which were sweet and crisp, "You often send food to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. I know it's your handicraft once I taste it."

An Lingrong smiled and scooped up a bowl of soup for the emperor: "It's hot, the emperor has a bad appetite, and the concubine thinks that the emperor is busy with government affairs and is always tired, so it would be better to make more money. I don't want to bother with him." She smiled coquettishly, and put the soup by the emperor's hand, "It took two months for this bowl of perch soup to succeed, the emperor must try it out."

The emperor ate it with a smile, it was really delicious.

"Concubine Hua came to beg me yesterday, saying that Mrs. Zhen is pitiful, and asked me to raise her position, so I granted her the position she promised. The title, your sister Wan also mentioned it yesterday, and I think it's good. Just take the word 'bi', so as to remind her not to forget her identity." The emperor said about Zhen Yuyin, "I never thought that she would be so close to Concubine Hua."

With a smile on the corner of An Lingrong's mouth, he hesitated for a moment: "I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"You said."

An Lingrong thought about it and said, "Sister Wan's temperament, I understand it. She loves the emperor and respects the emperor even more. Why is she being rude to the imperial court one after another in recent days? The concubine originally thought that it was Bi's promise that made my sister Jealous, I lost my temper with the emperor, but yesterday when my elder sister came back, she was full of regrets. She said that she was agitated when she was in front of the imperial court, which made her words and deeds uncontrollable and made a big mistake. She only cared about regrets, but the concubine felt that Strange, in the end, what Bi promised was also backed down by her sister, so why did she insist on holding on to this matter? But Bi agreed, she didn't say anything because she didn't feel grateful to her sister, and..." Seemingly realizing that she had said something wrong, An Lingrong quickly stopped talking, "The concubine made a slip of the tongue."

The emperor's expression changed, and he seriously thought about Zhen Huan's reaction before and after Bi agreed to be favored.

Seeing this, An Lingrong knew that he didn't need to say anything else.

After Zhen Yuyin sealed Bi's promise, she settled down for a while, and from time to time, she went to Bitong Academy to get close to Zhen Huan. Although Zhen Huan was angry with her, but because she was also surnamed Zhen, she had to give her some face, so she got along like this down.

"She hasn't been having a good time recently." Liu Zhu fanned Zhen Huan, looked at Zhen Yuyin's back as she walked away, and whispered, "Yesterday she went to Qinzheng Palace to pay her respects, but the emperor didn't see her, so I don't know what happened."

"Don't worry about her." Zhen Huan was not kind enough to help Zhen Yuyin's favor, so she turned to talk about the recent order, "The queen has ordered the cutting of the dishes in the past few days. You carefully click on the case that you sent, so you don’t make a mistake.”

"Yes, the servant knows."

But what they don't know is that because of this cutting ratio, some people have already caused trouble and killed people with a knife, and some people have a grudge and are ready to do it.

In Qingliang Palace, Concubine Hua was so angry that her throat was burning: "Lunch and dinner are all vegetarian dishes, such as cucumbers in vinegar and golden needles in cold salad, I wish the meat and fish would disappear. I have a bad appetite in summer, and there are no good things, let alone eat. She snatched the round fan from the hand of the maid behind her, and fanned herself a few times vigorously. Hearing Songzhi say that this was Shen Meizhuang's idea, she became even angrier, "I haven't helped Liugong yet, so I learned to use chicken feathers as a pawn." Order the arrow."

Eyeballs rolled around, Concubine Hua suddenly had a plan: "Songzhi, take some banknotes. The palaces are suffering, so give some subsidies to those palace ladies and eunuchs."

Songzhi immediately understood what Concubine Hua meant: "Yes."

All of a sudden, the wind direction in the palace changed again and again, Shen Meizhuang was in the center of public opinion but didn't know it, he just felt a little powerless to manage things recently.

How did she know that the empress used her name to propose the cutting of the palaces, but she didn't mention the matter of converting money, which caused the palace to complain, and the concubine Hua was doing everything to win people's hearts, Shen Meizhuang was naturally hindered everywhere.

Little did she know that danger was approaching her.

On this day, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong came to Xianyue Pavilion for a small gathering, and Shen Meizhuang asked someone to make sour plum soup.

In hot weather, this soup is best for quenching thirst and refreshing. Zhen Huan doesn't like to eat sour food, so she doesn't drink it. An Lingrong took two sips and felt it was too cold, so she put it aside. Shen Meizhuang couldn't stop, and drank two bowls in a row. Greedy, Caiyue stopped her so she didn't drink any more.

"It's hot today, so I like to drink this." Shen Meizhuang smiled sheepishly.

"It's Fu Ling's sour plum soup that is well made." Caiyue boasted that Fu Ling is a little maid in the palace, who was sent by the queen to take care of Shen Meizhuang's daily life. , this sour plum soup is exactly her craft.

This matter was skipped, and Shen Meizhuang talked about something else: "Princess Wen Yi will be nineteen years old next month. The emperor asked the queen to have a good time. I have been worrying about this for the past few days. Now the harem is thrifty. , What the empress means is that you have to save everything, but you can't lose the face of the Tian family."

"Your Majesty likes Wen Yi, so it's inevitable that he will see Mrs. Cao a few more times." Zhen Huan said about Mrs. Cao, "Last time, Concubine Hua didn't implicate her, but she was even more proud, and repeatedly tripped us up. Last time The same goes for Na Xiang, I was terrified when I heard sister Rong say it, I never thought her methods would be so secretive and ruthless."

Shen Meizhuang also nodded: "Yes, Rong'er also told me about this matter afterwards, this person cannot be underestimated. But speaking of it, it is better to have a child by his side." She said sadly, "The three of us Although she is favored, she is not stable without an heir. Just look at Concubine Hua and you will know that even though she has no heirs, the power in her hands will be gone. Without a real child, after all It's empty to say anything."

Speaking of children, An Lingrong was also in a daze for a while.In her previous life, she never had a child of her own until she died. Only the poor one stayed in her stomach for several months and was not born.

Thinking of this, she felt a sharp pain in her heart.

"No matter how much the emperor doesn't want to see Concubine Qi, he has to talk to her for the sake of the third elder brother. Even though Cao Guiren and Xin Changzai are daughters, the emperor loves her just as much." Shen Meizhuang stood up, "As long as you remember the child, you will Cherish the biological mother, if not, the emperor will always throw it aside after a moment of interest."

An Lingrong came back to his senses, looked at Shen Mei Zhuang Jiao's profile, and felt that she was really sober.

She knows very well that the emperor's favor is unreliable, and no one can be favored for a long time. She saw through the essence of the harem's existence at a glance, and made the most long-term plan. Unfortunately, she did not wait until the birth of a child was safe and secure. On the day when she lived steadily, Shi Yue conceived, but died on the night when the princess was born.

A hint of guilt appeared in An Lingrong's eyes.

In the previous life, Shenmeizhuang died at the hands of her after all. In this life, she must protect Shenmeizhuang no matter what - her parents knelt down before the Buddha to give her a chance to be reborn, and she could not do evil again.

"According to the calculations, Sister Mei has served the emperor for almost a year, why hasn't there been any good news?" Zhen Huan got up and walked to Shen Meizhuang's side, patted Shen Meizhuang's stomach with a fan, and teased.

"The emperor only comes to the harem a few times a month, and now I help the empress take care of trivial matters, and I can't care less." Shen Meizhuang glanced at Zhen Huan with a wry smile.

An Lingrong also smiled and said: "Children are all fate, sister Mei, this fate has not arrived yet."

"What Rong'er said makes sense, but you can't just ask God for things, you have to do something." Shen Meizhuang pulled Zhen Huan to sit down, then took An Lingrong's hand, and said, "I'm not afraid to talk to you two. In my heart, although it is said that the birth of a dragon descendant depends on God's will, but it is up to man to plan and make things happen, so we can't just wait like this."

Zhen Huan looked puzzled: "This is about whether the emperor will come or not, what else can be artificial?"

However, An Lingrong has heard some things: "When I was at home, I seem to have heard from my aunts that there is a prescription that can conceive a child after taking it, and you can also decide whether to conceive a boy or a girl."

"Exactly." Shen Meizhuang's eyes lit up, and he asked Caiyue to bring out a prescription, "I got a prescription by chance, which was what Concubine Qi used to eat before she got pregnant. If I take care of this prescription, I will definitely get a boy."

Zhen Huan didn't believe it, so she took it and took a closer look, but she didn't understand medical principles: "Liu Zhu, take this prescription and go to Doctor Wen to have a look."

Liu Zhu hurriedly said: "I don't know, my grandpa protector grandson is seriously ill. Imperial doctor Wen went to see a doctor and said that all the food and lodging should be in Sun's mansion. Master Wen will come back when grandpa grandson recovers from his illness." .”

Zhen Huan couldn't make up her mind for a while.

An Lingrong said at this time: "Sister, the cardamom next to me has some medical skills, why don't I copy this prescription and take it back, so that she can see if there is anything wrong with it."

Shen Meizhuang remembered Dou Kou's neat movements when he checked her pulse that day, so he also nodded and asked Caiyue to prepare his pen and ink.

An Lingrong slowly copied a copy of the prescription.

"What a beautiful small regular script with hairpin flowers in one hand. Although the writing strength is insufficient, the writing is smooth and the font is neat. Sister Rong, I didn't know that you wrote such good handwriting." Zhen Huan looked at An Lingrong's handwriting and couldn't help but praise road.

Shen Meizhuang also smiled and said: "Sister Rong has hidden a lot of skills." She didn't mean anything else, in this palace, skills are indispensable.

An Lingrong smiled slightly, dried the prescription and folded it up.

"I've already taken this medicine twice, but you two have to be very careful." Shen Meizhuang put away the prescription, "I think it's not bad, Rong'er, if it's okay for you, why don't you take it too?" Fangzi tastes better, it’s always better to prepare it earlier.”

An Lingrong responded with a smile.

Instead, Caiyue came to pass the news, saying that the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital had come to ask for a pulse, and he was waiting in the yard.

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong got up and said goodbye.

When leaving Xianyue Pavilion, An Lingrong saw a tall and thin figure walking in from a distance, and his pupils shrank immediately.

It's Liu Wei!
An Lingrong suddenly felt that the prescription in his cuff was hot.

Did Concubine Hua set up a fake pregnancy so early?The action is so fast.

An Lingrong suppressed the urge to go in and expose Liu Duan immediately, and returned all the way to Xinghua Village.She can't act rashly. Now Concubine Hua is just planning and hasn't really taken any action. If she jumps out now, wouldn't she be infuriated.

She turned out the prescription, her eyes darkened, and she said to Dill, "Bring the cardamom over here."

Cardamom entered Fanying Hall in a short while.

"Look at this prescription, is there anything wrong with it?" An Lingrong handed the prescription to Cardamom.

Cardamom looked at it carefully, and said: "The prescription is harmless, but after taking it, the menstruation will be blocked, and there will be three months of menstruation, and there will be symptoms such as vomiting and acidophilia."

An Lingrong compared it before and after, and confirmed that this was the prescription that made Shen Meizhuang have pregnancy symptoms back then.After thinking for a long time, she slowly asked, "Diamond, is there any medicine that makes people look pregnant after taking it? I mean, the one that looks exactly the same."

Cardamom looked at Fang Zi, thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes."

"Very good." An Lingrong had already thought of a way, she slowly raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, "You take the time to go outside to find this medicine, and replace it with Shen Guiren's medicine."

After thinking about it, Cardamom understood: "Yes."

Another six or seven days later, An Lingrong was embroidering in the house when he heard Dou Kou running in and saying, "My lord, Shen Guiren was having dinner at Cao Guiren's painting pavilion, and during the dinner he suddenly vomited. It is said that Shen Guiren has been pregnant for more than a month."

An Lingrong put down the needle in his hand, his eyes were flickering.

Concubine Hua, Concubine Hua, I can't do what you want this time.

　It's three o'clock
