Resourceful beauty

Chapter 305
"Did she really say that?"

In Jinghua Palace, listening to Sixiu talking about what Concubine Fang had said in the Imperial Garden, Lu Rufei's face was so gloomy that it dripped water.

Sixiu nodded nervously, "Concubine Fang told the two nobles in her palace, and she didn't shy away from anything, so all the court officials in the Imperial Garden heard about it."

"She is really fearless..."

While talking with a smile, Lu Rufei's eyes were full of ice-coldness.

After a while, Lu Rufei turned her head and asked Sixiu, "What did the people in the palace say about that jade pendant? Is it really like what Fangfei said?"

Seeing Sixiu nodded again, Lu Rufei stretched out her hand to grab the mahogany comb on the dressing table and held it in her hand.

The teeth of the comb were embedded in the palm of her hand, and there was a rustle of pain. While exhaling softly, Lu Rufei thought quickly in her heart: I can't implicate him, I must not implicate him.

However, rumors have no eyes, and now everyone in the whole palace is afraid that every corner is talking about it, so who can control it?

Unless, something more sensational than this happened, diverting everyone's attention from that jade pendant, what could happen?
Thinking chaotically in her mind, Lu Rufei frowned and thought about it. After a while, her brows relaxed, and on Lu Rufei's face, there was the gentle smile in front of people in the past.

"Concubine Fang is seven months pregnant, right?"

Lu Rufei asked softly.

Without thinking, she suddenly mentioned Concubine Fang's pregnancy, Si Xiu tilted her head and thought for a while and said, "Concubine Fang was pregnant in three months, now counting, it is seven months."

"Regardless of whether the child is a boy or a girl, Concubine Fang is probably invincible in this palace. At that time, it is still uncertain how rampant she will be. Tell me, who is the most uncomfortable in this palace now? "

Lu Rufei was in a good mood and chatted with Sixiu.

Si Xiu smiled and said, "Of course it's the queen."

Queen Zhou only gave birth to a eldest princess. Although she regarded King Yong as her own for so many years, it didn't come from her belly.

Concubine Fang gave birth to a little prince, and now she is about to give birth. Although even if she has another prince, the two sons combined cannot threaten King Yong, but Queen Zhou is a woman first, and she is also a woman. Concubine Fang can have two sons Why can't she be pregnant? Therefore, the discomfort in her heart is probably more than that of others.

"If the child is gone, tell me, will the queen be very happy?"

Lu Rufei gently combed her long hair draped over her shoulders, smiling freely.

Si Xiu rolled her eyes, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid she will be very unhappy."

"Yes……"

Nodding her head in agreement, Concubine Lu Ru said with a smile: "So, if the king is not happy, no one in this palace dares to be happy. Concubine Fang will definitely be relentless. There is trouble."

If there is trouble, the current matter will naturally be resolved.

Compared with a piece of jade pendant that appeared in the palace inexplicably, the beloved concubine's miscarriage is probably more sensational, right?
With a long and comfortable sigh, Lu Rufei put down the comb and stood up, walking towards the bed, and at the same time told Sixiu, "At noon tomorrow, ask Qingyin to come over."

Sixiu responded softly, took a rest after serving Lu Rufei, put down the bed curtain, blew out the candles, turned and went out.

In Xuanyi Hall, Fang Ruxuan was leaning on the bed, talking to the child in her stomach.

The words are soft, the expression is smiling, and under the warm candlelight, the scene in front of me is so warm that people can't bear to break it.

Chu Yuan stood in front of the screen and watched quietly, the seriousness on his face gradually softened, after a while, he turned and went to Nuan Pavilion.

After finishing the routine talk with the children, Fang Ruxuan called Ding Xiang, only to learn that Chu Yuan was playing with Brother Ming in the Nuan Pavilion.

Smiling, Fang Ruxuan wanted to get up, but saw Ding Xiang approaching, helped her up, and whispered what Concubine Fang said in the imperial garden.

Xu Shi felt that she was aboveboard, and when Concubine Fang said these words, she did not avoid anyone, so after she left the imperial garden, her words quickly spread.

There was a smile in Fang Ruxuan's eyes, "Fang Concubine really said that? She thinks it's more likely that the jade pendant belongs to Marquis Chang'an?"

Ding Xiang nodded, Fang Ruxuan smiled and said: "After listening to Concubine Fang, tonight, many people in this palace may not be able to sleep at night."

With that said, Fang Ruxuan sat back on the edge of the bed and asked Ding Xiang to call Mulberry over.

"Starting tomorrow, just keep an eye on Lu Rufei and Jinghua Palace's movements. Just keep an eye on them. No matter what they do, don't act rashly."

Fang Ruxuan instructed Mulberry carefully.

In the Nuan Pavilion, Chu Yuan was holding the picture album and was talking to Brother Ming. The little guy seemed to understand, but he looked at Chu Yuan, but he was full of attachment. Fang Ruxuan watched and listened from a distance, with a look of Happiness.

It wasn't until Brother Ming fell asleep that Chu Yuan carefully put his son back on the bed and covered him with the quilt, and the two returned to the inner hall holding hands.

Waking up early the next day, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs delivered the silver frost charcoal in person.

"Although it's early, it's better to be prepared. If the Crown Princess and the little prince feel cold, it's better to use charcoal earlier. If they run out, send someone to say, and the slave will definitely deliver it on time."

Nodding and bowing, the words are flattering, but the boss has a flattering face.

Fang Ruxuan glanced at Ding Xiang, asked her to give him the reward purse, and asked casually, "Concubine Fang is also pregnant, where can I send it?"

The steward smiled and nodded, "The servant will deliver it in the afternoon, no, you have to keep a close eye on the East Palace first, right?"

After saying a few words, the steward left, Fang Ruxuan got up and left the Hall of Xuanyi, and took a walk in the courtyard for a while.

For several days, there were still rumors in the palace. Queen Zhou checked all the palace servants working near Wanfu Palace, but no one knew the origin of the jade pendant.

It was as if that jade pendant appeared in front of Wanfu Palace out of thin air.

All of a sudden, people in the palace were in a state of panic, and the old story of 20 years ago was being rediscovered.

At first, Queen Zhou also dealt with a group of palace people, but after a few days when the rumor subsided, it became rampant again, and Queen Zhou couldn't deal with all the palace people in the whole palace.

When he was full of irritability, the Lanyue Pavilion was in chaos.

A servant girl from Lanyue Pavilion came to Fengming Palace in panic, saying that Concubine Fang was about to give birth.

Queen Zhou was shocked, and sent someone to speak to King Yao, got up and took Fang Shanggong and others to Lanyue Pavilion in person.

Along the way, Queen Zhou asked the palace maid with a worried face, "It's only been seven months, why did you have an attack? How do you serve me?"

The footsteps were hurried, and the palace maid replied with a sad face: "I don't know, I only know that the concubine Fang got up early and went out for a walk. She stepped on the moss on the stone steps, and the people around her couldn't support her, so she fell. See you when you come back. red."

"Have you invited the imperial physician and passed on the midwife?"

Knowing that the imperial physician and the midwife must have arrived at Lanyue Pavilion at this moment, she was worried that she would not be able to explain clearly when King Yao arrived, so Queen Zhou still asked.

Seeing that the palace maid nodded yes, Queen Zhou felt more at ease.

In Lanyue Pavilion, people came in and out, and several imperial doctors were waiting under the eaves. When they saw the Queen of Zhou arrived, they came down and saluted: "Fang Concubine gave birth prematurely. Now, the old ministers are helpless, please forgive me. "

When a woman is giving birth, it is not good for the imperial physician and others to appear in the delivery room. At this moment, we can only look at the method of the midwife and the fortune of the concubine Fang.

Queen Zhou waved her hands in understanding, and went straight into the main hall of Lanyue Pavilion.

In the inner hall, Concubine Fang cried out in pain for the first time, and the people who heard it panicked. The two midwives raised the brocade quilt at the end of the bed from time to time to check the situation, and when they raised their heads, they all had expressions on their faces. embarrassing.

"Fang Concubine, please bear with it, save your strength, and drink the birth-inducing soup in a while, so that you can give birth to your little master."

Comfortingly persuaded Concubine Fang, the midwife gave the other person a wink.

Comprehended, another midwife ordered a few maidservants to prepare necessities such as swaddling clothes, hot water, etc., then turned around and hurried out of the inner hall.

"My queen, Concubine Fang's birth was already premature, and the cervix is ​​not dilated. I'm afraid it will be a difficult delivery. The two old slaves touched her belly just now, it seems that they are twins..."

Before the midwife could finish speaking, Queen Zhou's face changed in shock, and her heart was even more turbulent.

She can't ask for any of them. Concubine Fang, a bitch, gave birth to the little prince, and now she is pregnant with twins, which is the first in the harem, even if she gave birth to two girls this time Son, I'm afraid that King Yao will forget his form with joy, right?

"You continue to say..."

Knowing that she hadn't finished speaking, Queen Zhou glanced at her and said.

"The old slave would like to ask, if it is really difficult to give birth, and it has come to the point of no choice, should I protect the older child, or protect the younger child?"

When she said this, the midwife was a little apprehensive.

Queen Zhou looked at the midwife with a sneer, her gaze was as sharp as a knife, "Is it necessary for me to tell you such a question?"

According to the old rule, if the heir is the oldest, he must keep the youngest.

But Concubine Fang is now in favor, and the midwife does not dare to follow the old rules, for fear of making a mistake and doing the wrong thing. At this moment, it seems that she is still old and confused.

"The old slave is confused, and I still hope that the empress will forgive me."

Fearing that Queen Zhou would settle accounts in the autumn, the midwife knelt down and kowtowed her head in fear. Queen Zhou cried out, pouted at the inner hall and said, "Go and do your work."

After entering the inner hall, the two midwives looked at each other and understood each other's meaning in an instant.

Although it was an extremely plain look, Concubine Fang felt some bad premonition, and raised her voice to call Liu Shang.

Regardless of the presence of other maidservants in the inner palace, Concubine Fang signaled Liu Shang to help her up, glared at the two midwives fiercely and said, "If my delivery doesn't go well for a while, remember to keep me. Afterwards, no matter how the children are, I will reward each of you with 1000 taels of silver. Otherwise, if something happens to me, you will not be able to live. I am not a vegetarian, and there are people around me, so you can live or die. Weigh it for yourself..."

I just felt the cold air spread from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, and the faces of the two midwives were bitter.
