Empress, she is rising step by step

Yan Qingshu carefully touched Bai Xinrui's belly and said cheerfully: "The emperor's brother's child is my child. No matter which empress gives birth to it, I like it. The emperor's brother is not in need of my child."

Bai Xinrui thought her words were silly and cute, "That's what I say, but after all, it is my own flesh and blood that is closer to my heart. This is incomparable to others."

Cao Wenxi came over at some unknown time and asked, "Has the imperial concubine applied any oil on her belly? I heard that pregnant people tend to have spots on their stomachs. If they are diagnosed with pregnancy, they insist on applying oil on their stomachs to prevent spots." If it’s oily, it won’t grow.”

"I wipe it every day. My father asked someone to bring it in from outside the palace."

Bai Xinrui has also heard of people who have been pregnant suddenly developing markings on their abdomens, which are no different from the lines on watermelons. She was also afraid that she would grow up, so she asked her father to find a miracle doctor to bring it specially for her.

"I'd like to thank Cao Baolin for reminding me. No wonder I see Cao Baolin falling down in the wind lately. It turns out there is a reason. I thought you were sick again. You have been sick for several years and I have never seen you. , why has it gradually improved in the past half year?"

"Maybe I drank too much medicine and it had some physical effects."

Cao Wenxi's health was always good and bad. When the weather was warm, she felt better, but when it got cold, she felt uncomfortable.

"It is said that people feel refreshed when happy events happen. Happy events happen one after another in the palace. How can concubines have bad reasons?"

"Look, Cao Baolin went to curry favor with the imperial concubine again."

Yu Jieyu glanced in the direction of Cao Wenxi and pouted disdainfully at Zhuang Xiaoxiao and others.

"Today's Dragon Boat Festival banquet, she, Cao Baolin, stole the spotlight. As soon as the emperor saw her, his eyes were glued to her. She usually looks quiet, but it turns out she has a big trick hidden."

"Who told me that someone would cause trouble? I am also close to Zhu Baolin. I know that I will be happy to be a dog if I have meat and soup with you."

Zhuang Xiaoxiao wrung the handkerchief, his face full of indignation.

"I really underestimated her before. Wen Meiren is also a coward. He has lived with her in Weiyang Palace for so long, but he still let her live."

Yu Jieyu just wanted to find someone to vent her jealousy and dissatisfaction, but she never thought about taking Cao Wenxi's life. After hearing what Zhuang Xiaoxiao said, her expression became subtle.

"You two should say less. There are many people and mixed opinions. I don't know who will hear it, but it will change as it gets passed around."

Yang Yunxi saw that Yu Jieyu was not hopelessly stupid.

"If you have this free time, why not spend more time trying to figure out what the emperor likes? Cao Baolin has also put a lot of thought into it. Could it be that the emperor can see you two if you chew his tongue behind his back all day long?"

"It's strange, this is the first time I hear Concubine De speak for someone else."

Xu Tingyue glanced at Yang Yunxi and touched the jade bracelet on her wrist.

"When did Concubine De become so warm-hearted? Haven't you always been blind to what's going on outside the window? It was Shen Xiurong beside you who cleared Cao Baolin's grievances last time."

"Concubine Shu, you should be careful what you say. They are all the emperor's concubines, royal women. Those around me and you, Cao Baolin, was wronged and wronged. Shen Xiurong happened to be passing by, why not seek justice for her?"

Yang Yunxi turned around and smiled at Xu Tingyue.

Her eyebrows are deep, not as gentle as those of the Dayan girls. Instead, she has an overwhelming sense of surprise. When she smiles at others, her smile always fails to reach her eyes.

"I don't know who tampered with Zhu Baolin's pipa, but it harmed Wenmei. Wenmei is really pitiful. How can she live with a scar on her face in the future?" Xu Tingyue opened her mouth to say something, and glanced out of the corner of her eye. Bai Xinrui walked slowly and slowly.

"I like this Lingxiao flower. It is bright but not showy. It has its own integrity. It is not like peach or crabapple flowers. They look very tacky and cannot be considered elegant."

Peach blossoms and begonia flowers are Xu Tingyue's favorite words. These two flowers are often engraved on clothes and jewelry.

Bai Xinrui is mocking her with flowers!

"Whether it's tacky or not, let's talk about people admiring flowers. What's the use of admiring flowers alone? The emperor thinks it looks good, he likes it, and it touches his eyes and heart. What does it matter even if he can't get on the stage?"

"I haven't seen Concubine Shu for a few days. Concubine Shu is very good at talking."

Bai Xinrui raised her eyebrows, "Don't just practice lip service. It's only right to ask the emperor to come and sit in your palace more often when you have nothing to do. The emperor has not been to Jinghong Palace for more than a month, and it is very deserted."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me that I don't need to worry about my concubines. It doesn't matter whether the Emperor comes to Jinghong Palace or not, as long as we are close to each other. It's better than sharing the same bed with different dreams, right?" Xu Tingyue was also unwilling to accept it. Show weakness.

While the two were bickering overtly and covertly, Yan Qingshu suddenly screamed and scattered like thunder.

"what!"

Bai Xinrui's heart was beating fast. She held her chest and said, "Yan Baolin, what's wrong with you? How old are you? Why are you so startled? Do you know that you should be quieter and calmer?"

As she spoke, she searched for her voice. When she saw clearly why Yan Qingshu was screaming, she was stunned.

"Ah! What is that thing? Is it a snake?" Yu Jieyu also squinted her eyes and looked into the distance. When she saw clearly, she suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

I saw two snakes as big as the mouth of a tea cup swimming towards this side from under a strong-rooted Lingxiao flower.

The colorful pattern looks like a cloud when it squirms. It has a triangular head and eyes as big as soybeans, spitting out letters and hunching its upper body as it speeds towards this direction.

"This snake is poisonous, so be careful." Yang Yunxi has seen many snakes since she was a child, and has also kept snakes as pets.

But she doesn't know how to catch snakes, she can only tell whether they are poisonous or not.

"Why are there snakes in the palace?" Yan Qingshu came back to her senses, her tone trembling.

"Oooh, what should I do? Sister Zhu, it's crawling over here, will it bite me?"

"Don't be afraid, it won't happen." Zhu Ci pulled Yan Qingshu to his side, pulled her behind him and slowly backed away to protect her.

She turned her head and glanced at Bai Xinrui, who still stayed where she was.

"My Lady, you must not be careless while you are pregnant. It is important to leave this place as soon as possible."

Bai Xinrui suddenly came to her senses, her palms becoming sticky due to fine cold sweat. She was bitten by a snake as a child because of her playfulness, and she has had a shadow of snakes ever since.

It's just that snakes are rarely seen in the palace, and she has long forgotten her fear. Suddenly I saw it, remembering my childhood experiences, my legs suddenly became sore.
