Chapter 113

For several months, Chang Xi's stomach became bigger and bigger, and her vomiting reaction became more and more intense. She tossed and turned all night, and couldn't sleep well.Seeing that she was so uncomfortable, Li Longji ordered the imperial doctor to take good care of her. After taking several medicines, instead of getting better, she vomited more and more.This made Li Longji furious, and exiled all the imperial doctors who had given Chang Xi a safe pulse to Lingnan.

Seeing that they were blamed for themselves, Chang Xi felt very sorry, and persuaded Li Longji repeatedly to calm him down.Every time Li Longji looked at Chang Xi's pale face, his heart ached. Even though she was unable to take care of her, she often stayed in Qianshanzhai.

Chang Xi, who was tossed by the baby in her belly every night and couldn't sleep well, would see Li Longji around her waist when she woke up, and her heart felt much more at ease.But she always vomited and made Li Longji haggard, and even vomited on him once, but Li Longji never got bored.

Since the last bat incident, the harem has been calm. The empress excused Chang Xi's morning and evening meditation because of the inconvenience of her pregnancy.Embroidering with Bi Chuan and Fu Qu, reading books every day, the days are quite pleasant.

This day is the Qixi Festival for the Girls, and the concubines in Xingqing Palace gather to beg for cleverness. This is a big day, and Chang Xi must also attend.

In the early morning, Fu Que had already prepared hot water to bathe Chang Xi with incense.Bi Chuan took out more than a dozen sets of palace costumes of various colors from the cabinet for Chang Xi to choose from.

"Choose one at will, why bother to dig it out? It's such a busy job!" Chang Xi sat in front of the dressing table, pressing his temples with one hand, and gently wiping the bronze mirror with a handkerchief, looking at the reflections reflected in it. The busy figure said with a smile.

Bi Chuan ordered several young maids and servants to stand in a row, and each took one for her to choose. After a while, this color was bright, and for a while, the material was not good, and she was so tired that she was sweating profusely.Hearing what Chang Xi said, he hurriedly said: "My talent! Today is Qixi Festival, and all the concubines in the palace and wives outside will come to Huaqing Palace to pray for blessings. How can I not dress up better?"

Chang Xi yawned and said lazily: "I didn't want to move, but it's so troublesome!"

Fu Que put bundles of Chang Xi's hair on the top, coiled them into a cloud shape, and put some delicate pearls on her forehead, and smiled at the beauty in the mirror: "This cloud bun is most suitable for talented people. Today is Qixi Festival. Don’t be so light, it’s better than the last light yellow and tender green!”

Chang Xi thought for a while, the makeup was really thicker, just about to refuse, but Bi Chuan walked up with a set of palace attire in her hand, and said: "Young man, just this one, it just goes with this dress! "

Seeing that both of them agreed, Chang Xi couldn't object, so Yufu put on makeup for herself. She wore a pink double-breasted tulle shirt with large sleeves on her upper body, a pink narcissus flower-and-leaf green skirt underneath, and a shawl on her shoulders. Silk, got on Jianyu, and marched to Huaqing Palace with a group of court ladies.

On the way, I saw a person in white clothes and black boots, walking smartly. Chang Xi saw that the person was familiar from the back, so he hurriedly asked people to chase after him, and it turned out to be Xue Wang Li Ye.

He was seriously injured that time in Lishan Garden, and his physical fitness was not as strong as Li Longji's, and he had to be raised for several months before he fully recovered. During this period, Chang Xi also sent little Zhao Zi to visit him a few times. This time, he came to Xingqing in person. Gong is also really happy.

"Little lady, your belly is getting bigger again!" Li Ye stood on the ground with a smile, and stretched out a hand to help Chang Xi down his shoulders.

When Chang Xi saw him, he spat and said, "You're still so frivolous, the injury will be healed!"

Li Ye giggled, "It's all over, I'm sorry, my lady!"

Chang Xi heard him call herself 'little lady' repeatedly, and remembered what happened in Longchi that day, blushing slightly, just about to talk about him, but saw Bi Chuan pull up her clothes as a gift, and said abruptly: "My lord, the talent is already gone!" It's His Majesty's man, please respect yourself."

After hearing this, Li Ye shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, and said, "I forgot for a while!"

Seeing Bi Chuan talking to Li Ye so rudely, Chang Xi was afraid that he would blame him, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Why are you alone on this royal road? Where are your guards?"

"Are you looking for him?" Li Ye asked with a half-smile.

Chang Xi was guessed, and quickly shook her head and said, "Where! What nonsense!"

Li Ye leaned over and whispered in Chang Xi's ear, "He's fine, don't worry about him!"

Chang Xi nodded, but heard Li Ye say: "I was about to give you something, since I met it, I saved a lot of effort." He took out a delicate sandalwood box from behind.

"What's in it?" Chang Xi took the box curiously, looked at the exquisite patterns carved on the outside, and was curious about what was inside, pressed it with both hands, and was about to open it to see what was going on.

"Slow down! Slow down!" Li Ye hurriedly knocked off her hand.

Chang Xi asked in surprise, "What?"

"There's a spider inside, you open the box, and it runs away!" Li Ye looked helplessly at the curious Chang Xi.

After hearing this, Chang Xi, like a kitten whose tail has been stepped on, oops, threw the box to Li Ye and said, "What a terrible thing, I don't want it!"

Li Ye glanced at his mouth, "Be kind as a donkey liver and lung, you know how long I've been looking for it!"

Chang Xi subconsciously tightened her clothes, fearing that the little thing would break out of the box and get into her clothes, she frowned and said, "What are you looking for?"

"Uh." Li Ye looked at Chang Xi's ignorant expression and said, "So you really don't know!"

"Know what?" Chang Xi opened his big eyes and looked at Li Ye suspiciously.

Li Yedao: "Every Qixi Festival, concubines and concubines of all palaces and all kinds of wives will prepare such a spider and put it in a box. After worshiping the Weaver Girl, they will open the box for inspection and judge the ingenuity by the density of the spider's web. You Have you been in Xingqing Palace for so long and don’t even know about this? Didn’t you prepare this time?”

Chang Xi was taken aback when he heard it—Spider Qiqiao, what kind of festival rule is this?

Bi Chuan was listening to Li Ye's words, and hurriedly said: "The maidservant has prepared a spider for Cai Ren, but because Cai Ren is pregnant with a dragon fetus, I didn't tell you if you would be distracted."

Chang Xi snorted, and said, "Although I used to be a dancer in the Jiaofang Division, I have never heard of this."

Li Ye said: "This spider is a trick. Spiders are the hardest to find. First, the spider must not be poisonous. If it crawls out and bites people, it will be bad. Second, we must pick up spiders that can spin silk, so that we can be clever on Qixi Festival." Third, the spider itself must look good, if it is a black mass, it will be too unpleasant!"

"Such a little spider has so many rules!" Chang Xi took a breath.

Li Ye handed the sandalwood box to Bi Chuan, who was beside him, and said with a smile, "This is the spider that this king specially found for you, take it to get a first name!"

Bi Chuan took the box and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Xue Wang is still thoughtful, thank you for your talents!"

"Why didn't you thank me personally?" Li Ye pouted.

Bi Chuan laughed and said: "The gifted man and His Highness have always been on good terms. Wouldn't it be unfair to thank each other with words? It's better to let the slaves thank you. It not only repays your kindness, but also doesn't show any honor!"

Li Ye laughed loudly, gave a thumbs up and said, "She's a smart girl."

Seeing that it was getting late, Fu Que said, "Cai Ren, let's go quickly, don't let His Majesty and Queen wait for us."

Just as Chang Xi was about to say goodbye and leave, Li Ye said, "You are going to Huaqing Palace! This king will go with you!"

"Alright! Let's walk over together!" Chang Xi ordered Bi Chuan and Fu Que to follow behind, and walked side by side with Li Ye, saying goodbye to each other.

 Spider begging for cleverness, a kind of play item for women to gather together in ancient Qixi Festival
