The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 478 Greedy Mouth ([-])

Fearing that the partition wall has ears, Wanyu ordered Feiyan to move the food out and store it in the small kitchen, then sent the palace servants to wait outside the hall, and closed the Ling window, then asked in a low voice: " Bai Changqing, what's going on?"

Bai Changqing took the medicine box and checked Lin Lan's pulse.Not long after, she shook her head and asked, "Your Majesty, have you been using these fresh and spicy seafood these days?"

Lin Lan nodded with lingering fear: "It's fine for the first few months. After the New Year's Eve, it's boring to use it. I told the emperor about it in private. So I ordered the imperial dining room to make some delicious food and send it over."

Bai Changqing nodded knowingly, took the plain cloth on Linlan's wrist and sighed: "Ever since I entered the spicy food, the empress has been thinking about food every day, but no matter how much I have eaten, I still feel that it is not enough, and I am always hungry. , and often have symptoms of weakness, night sweats?"

Lin Lan's eyes showed a little starlight: "That's right. I don't like to eat rice and noodles as a staple food when I'm pregnant. I just think it's too tasteless and hard to swallow, so I mostly eat delicious dishes. Doctor Xu from the imperial hospital said , using more seafood can make the child born smart and healthy, no, the recent meals have been replaced by chopped pepper fish pieces, green and red double-flavored shrimp."

Seeing that Bai Changqing asked her a lot, Wan Yu became more suspicious: "But what's wrong with this food?"

Bai Changqing shook his head, and slowly replied: "Eating is not poisonous, it's just that the concubine's seafood is not real seafood. It's a small amount of minced fish and shrimp mixed into the 'white jade powder' by a caring person, and then gelled with tree jelly. Fixed shape, mixed with vegetable juice to make fish and shrimp texture, and then served to Empress Defei for meals. Wei Chen dared to ask, Empress has eaten this seafood for a month, have you ever seen fish pieces with spines, red shrimp with thorns? shell?"

Lin Lan thought about it for a moment, and then said with a little worry: "I haven't seen it before. I thought it was a servant of the imperial dining room who handled things carefully and carefully, but I didn't want to." She pointed to the water that was mixed with powder and no longer clear: "Is someone trying to kill me?"

Wanyu looked at Linlan, and said worriedly: "No wonder you eat a lot every day, but you lose weight day by day. That 'white jade powder' is the least nutritious food. Nanfu dancers often use it instead in order to keep slim. Eat food every day, in order to reduce your stature. That food is bland and tasteless, so it’s no wonder that it wasn’t spicy in the past, and you always tasted bad after eating it.” As he spoke, he asked Bai Changqing in detail with some anxiety: "Concubine De has spent these days, will it affect the dragon fetus in her belly?"

Bai Changqing waved his hand and said: "That thing is not harmful to the body, but the concubine is still pregnant and eats these unnutritious foods every day. If she reaches full-term labor, even if she can give birth to an heir safely, most likely it will be too late. The body is weak."

Wan Lai asked again: "If we resume a normal diet now, will it be relieved?"

Bai Changqing was a little dazed, wondering why: "To tell you the truth, the concubine is six months pregnant, according to what she said, these meals have been eaten for two months, which is the time when the dragon fetus in the belly is consolidating the foundation and cultivating the essence. The mother's body is short of nutrition and the supply is insufficient, so the development of the dragon fetus will inevitably be delayed. As for whether it will affect it, I can't say for sure. I can only prescribe some warming soup for the mother, and try my best to ensure the smooth and safe birth of the fetus."

Lin Lan was startled for a moment, and said bitterly, protecting her stomach, "She is really everyone's child!"

Wan Lai patted her hand, shook her head and said, "You and I discovered it early, so maybe it's all right?"

"If my sister hadn't come today, the child in my womb would have been harmed by the Tong family!" Lin Lan frowned tightly, and said harshly, "I must tell the emperor about this!"

Wan Yu hurriedly interrupted her: "What did you tell the emperor? Is your fetus injured now, or is there poison in the food? You said it now, but it also aroused Tong's suspicion. She deliberately refused to let it go." You gave birth to this child, but you still don’t know what subtle method you will find to harm your mother and child.”

Lin Lan said: "Then let's just let her go?"

Wan Yu took her hand, and persuaded her in a comforting tone: "Now let's just pretend that we don't know about it, and the food will be delivered by the imperial dining room every day, so you can just secretly make a stove yourself in the small kitchen." It's gone. Now is not the time to get angry with her, for a mother to give birth to a child is going to hell, nothing can compare to the safety of your mother and child, right?"

According to Wanyi's words, Lin Lan ordered Feiyan to happily welcome the food delivered by the imperial dining room into the sleeping hall, and then poured the food into the cloth bag in the sleeping hall, and secretly poured it into the imperial lake while the night was dark Don't be suspicious.

On weekdays, I ordered the small kitchen to cook, and made some nutritious and nourishing meals, and I ate quietly with the palace gate.

After nearly four months of this kind of life, I finally crossed the sea and kept the clouds open to see the moon.

On June 21st of the [-]st year of Kangxi, Lin Lan suddenly had abdominal pains, and hurriedly announced the imperial physician and midwife to serve in the palace.

Because the birth was at dawn, which coincided with the early court of the emperor, so people could not come.

On the contrary, when the concubines of the Sixth Palace were paying their respects to Rong Yue in Chengqian Palace, the people from Yonghe Palace came to report the news of Lin Lan's birth, and everyone rushed to the palace to wait.

At that time Rong Yue was sitting at the top of Yonghe Palace, followed by Wan Yu.

Seeing the happy smile on her face, Wan Yu said: "The Imperial Concubine treats Concubine De very well. Seeing her sister giving birth, she specially invited Fu Zhuo and Imperial Physician Xu here. Both of them are judged by the imperial hospital. One is a master of gynecology, if the concubine concubine concubine concubine concubine concubine concubine concubine concubine concubine gives birth to an heir, she must be grateful to the empress for taking care of her today."

Rong Yue took a fixed look at Wanyu, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "This palace is in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, and the addition of an heir to a concubine is a major matter in the harem, so this palace should take care of everything properly, and absolutely can't make the emperor worry about anything. "

Wan Yu smiled: "The imperial concubine is benevolent, and the concubines and concubines pay homage to her. You are the most respected person in the harem. With your protection, the concubine De will be safe for both mother and child."

Rong Yue nodded and smiled lightly, and did not speak to her again.

The crowd waited for about half an hour, and suddenly heard a loud cry of a baby from the side hall, and rushed to the side hall together, they saw a white baby wrapped in a yellow swaddle in the midwife's arms. The baby cried loudly.

Seeing the crowd, the mother bowed happily, and reported: "The servants and the little princess send their greetings to all the masters and ladies."

"Is it a princess?" Concubine Yi Roujia covered her face with a smile, she could only sneer: "I have been proud for so long and only got a princess, it's hard for Concubine De to take that piece of meat in her stomach as a treasure every day."

"Concubine Yi, if you don't know how to speak, just keep your mouth shut." Wanyu reprimanded her, then took off her armor, and gently stroked the princess's delicate skin: "You are beautiful, with eyebrows and eyes like Linlan, and lips Chin like an emperor."

Concubine Rong Xiuyan and Concubine Hui Yuwen came up to look at it carefully, and repeatedly responded to He Wanyu's words.
