Chapter 22 The Mantis Catches the Cicada Oriole Behind

The author has something to say: I am ashamed to write more quickly!

People who are pregnant are naturally different from ordinary women.And this kind of difference will gradually become apparent to people as the days go by, but people with eyesight or people who have a lot of contact with production can often easily see this difference that has not been obvious at the beginning.

Because of my father, I have come into contact with many pregnant women, and I have somewhat gained some insight, but when I saw Meizhuang's appearance, I didn't believe the experience I had accumulated.

"Rong'er, you're here." I saw her ruddy complexion, with joy in her eyes, making her look like a delicate flower, and she is beautiful, but she lacks some unique charm, such as the brilliance of motherhood, "Ben I wanted to find you, but I heard that you went to see the queen mother, how is the queen mother recently?"

"Sister, have you ever fed the Queen Mother since you were pregnant?" Thinking of the Queen Mother's concern for Meizhuang, she also specially asked me to bring some medicinal supplements suitable for raising fetuses. The Queen Mother really treats herself grandson takes heart.But what I can see, the Queen Mother will only see more than I, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will hide it intentionally and just sit on the sidelines.

"After the queen mother knew that I was pregnant, she didn't let me disturb her." Although Mei Zhuang was surprised that I asked such a question, he still answered truthfully, "What's wrong?"

So, doesn't the Queen Mother know?

I walked up to her and sat down, looked at her carefully and earnestly, trying to find out what I had missed, "I saw that my sister looks so good, what kind of prescription did she use?"

"There is no prescription, it's just some common anti-fetal medicine." It can't be common medicine, I clearly heard Zhen Huan said that Mei Zhuang's pregnancy reaction is very strong, "It's Liu Huan from the Tai Hospital who is very skilled in medicine. "

"Liu Wei?"

"Well, he's from my hometown, and he's a new official, so it's credible." Mei Zhuang said confidently, "It's unavoidably hot for you to walk outside, drink some sour plum soup."

Caiyue cleverly brought me a bowl of sour plum soup, "This sour plum soup tastes very good, our master loves it very much, Mr. An, please try it."

"That's right, Fuling in the palace is the best at it." Mei Zhuang said that when he was happy, he didn't care about anything wrong with me, and was extremely optimistic. "I just like this taste. It relieves heat and appetizers."

Picking up the sour plum soup, feeling the coldness of the bowl in my hand, I took a small sip. The taste...isn't good, it's just an ordinary taste, but there is something else in it, which is a bit strange .Wanting to figure out why, I took another big sip, only then did I know what was so special about this sour plum soup.On the other hand, Meizhuang saw that I tasted it again and felt that I liked it, so she was happy because my sister also liked what she liked, "You like it too, don't you? Do you want me to ask Fu Ling to make some for you?"

I looked at her rare childish way of presenting treasures, and didn't answer directly, "Fuling Fuling, my sister likes her very much, and I fall under her sour plum soup."

"Rong'er, don't make fun of me, the weather is hot," Mei Zhuang scolded, "I like to drink sour."

"My lord is pregnant, so it's normal to like to eat sour food, but eating too much will hurt your body." Seeing that Mei Zhuang seemed to want to drink soup again, Caiyue persuaded, "It's not good to ask Imperial Doctor Liu to change the prescription again. .”

"Why, Imperial Physician Liu often changes the prescription?" Maybe my question was a bit sensitive, Mei Zhuang gave Caiyue a wink, and then he shunned the others knowingly and stood guard in the outer room.

"I won't hide it from you, a while ago I asked the Imperial Hospital for a prescription for sending a child, and it was given by Liu Tian," she said, and she touched her belly happily, and I dare not look directly at the satisfied eyes. , "The prescription is very effective, no, I have it."

"Sister, can you show me the prescription?"

The words in black and white are all common medicinal materials, "I have read the medical books, the prescription is normal, isn't it?" It is very normal, but it is just a normal tonic, plus the amount of sour plum soup is not much but accumulated from taking it every day Things, delaying menstrual events, chest tightness and nausea effects can still be easily accomplished.

"Sister," looking directly at her happy smile, I suddenly felt an inexplicable anger in my heart. I had already reminded her, and she would understand, wouldn't she?Why is it still so easy?Why didn't you see other imperial physicians or Wen imperial physicians, or did you still believe in Liu Tian? "Do you still remember what I told you in the palace?"

She remembered that Ling Rong made herself wary, and it was precisely because she remembered that she said, "Of course I remember. Don't blame my sister for being selfish. It is precisely because I am concerned about Concubine Hua and want to protect my child that I know you I didn't intend to take this muddy water, and I begged you to come."

"You thought what I said back then meant that Concubine Hua would harm your heir?" I was surprised by the misunderstanding expressed in Mei Zhuang's words.

"Isn't it?" So she misunderstood?Also, if she hadn't experienced it herself, how could she have thought of that level, even if I wasn't skeptical about it myself.

"No, I'm telling you to be careful, don't let anyone take advantage of your desire for a child."

Mei Zhuang looked at me with a little surprise, "I was wrong, but fortunately nothing irreversible happened. And I also want to have a child,..."

"You are not pregnant."

She paused, then smiled unnaturally, "Rong'er, stop joking."

"I'm serious, you're not pregnant."

"Why?" She was dissatisfied with my seriousness, and she was even more afraid of the facts I said. Even though she was shaken and flustered by my words, "But I haven't had my period for a month. During this period, I have a bad appetite, like sour food, and I feel nausea from time to time, isn't this a reflection of pregnancy?"

"Menstruation can be delayed by drugs, and the so-called pregnancy reaction can also be disguised by external forces." I feel that I am calm and terrible now. Looking at Mei Zhuang's expression of extreme panic, I feel the evasion of what she said to me. But she was still able to use the most stable voice to say the fact that she was so scared that she couldn't believe it, "Sister, don't you think that Liu Duan came too timely? Don't you think his so-called child-seeking formula is too effective? Don't you think that Fu Ling is sent every day?" Sour plum soup is strange? The palace is no different than the palace, there are too many people around you."

"You also said that this is a palace, so these things are natural, I'm afraid you are thinking wildly." Mei Zhuang still didn't believe it, or didn't want to believe it, "Furthermore, you can see that a person who is pregnant with Liujia is different from an ordinary woman, then Which old man who has been immersed in the harem for so long doesn't have such vision."

"But who would go through the muddy water for you? Who wouldn't want to lose a favorite concubine in the harem? False pregnancy to compete for favor is enough to make a concubine who is favored again unable to stand up!"

"Rong'er..." A sad look appeared on her face, Mei Zhuang didn't know what to say, how to reflect, she was actually shaken, but, "I don't believe it!" She didn't believe what her sister said.

She shook her head and said that she didn't believe in herself. All of a sudden, I felt my blood surge and I was so choked that I couldn't speak.

I really want to leave her alone and let her be responsible for what she believes.But, just admit it, An Lingrong, even if you don't care about sisterhood, as long as you want to gain a place in the harem, you can't ignore it.

"If you don't believe me, then just listen to what I say next as a joke." She tilted her head slightly, leaving me with an expressionless side face, "You are pregnant, why don't you write a book and go home so that you Let your family members have fun together, and let your family members thank Liu Duan for your excellent medical skills." I don't know how much sarcasm I put in my words, but seeing Mei Zhuang frown, I think it's not so nice, but smart as Mei Zhuang, It should make my family look after Liu Duan. "As for this prescription, my younger sister has the courage to ask my older sister to give it to my younger sister." This is evidence, and if I keep it, it will become a tool for those who harm me by the way, but I must take the risk to keep as many clues as possible.

"Everything is in case, Guiren Shen should make a plan early." She finally looked at me, the pain in her eyes was so obvious, but she didn't know if it was because of my crow's mouth or because of my alienated address, "Shen My lord, it's already done, so it's better to follow the plan."

"Ling Rong, you..." Shen Guiren's address was too harsh, and it was the first time I called her like that.

"Shen Guiren is tired today, Ling Rong won't bother you." Without looking at her, I exited the back room by myself, maybe I wasn't as calm as in my image, my appearance frightened Cai Yue in the outer room Startled.Pause a little, restrain your emotions, I don't want to startle the snake.Taking a deep breath and raising my head again, I left as if I had come here.

"My lord," I didn't avoid Juqing during this conversation, she seemed very happy, but at the same time worried, "My lord, are you going to Mrs. Guan?"

Mr. Guan, Zhen Huan, "No," I was venting my anger, Zhen Huan is usually the most careful, why didn't Wen Shichu show Mei Zhuang again this time?Could it be that he lost his head in the midst of the favor?It's just that I didn't know that Wen Shichu was not in the palace, Zhen Huan was really wronged, "You walk with me, I will go to the Queen Mother's place later."

On the bright yellow couch, Yinzhen was lying half-lying with his knees bent, holding a memorial in his hand, taking advantage of the bright light beside the bed, very comfortable.After writing Zhu Zhu, today's state affairs have finally come to an end.

"Today, how is she?" Yinzhen asked seemingly unintentionally, picking up the cold tea, and rarely thinking of the person whose essence was as cold as this tea.

"Grandman Guan..." Su Peisheng hadn't finished speaking when he received an extremely cold glance from the superior, "I'm a dull slave. You are all good, Mr. An. When I first came, I met the fourth elder brother. Xiaoju After a while, I went to the Empress Dowager's place in the afternoon, and should be at Shen Guiren's place now."

"She met Hongli?"

"Si elder brother got rid of his aunt who was with him, and happened to meet An Guiren. An Gui was indifferent to Si elder brother, but fourth elder brother liked An noble very much."

"Are the people around Hongli still useful?" Although Yinzhen was talking about his son, what he was thinking about was An Lingrong, the person who was indifferent to everyone, but sometimes that kind of unusual indifference Whether it is true disdain or a trick of refusal and welcome, "There should be someone by Hongli's side."

"I see that it's good to have a young eunuch, and his age is only 5 or 6. A little training will be good."

"You can handle this matter as you see fit." Saying this, Yin Zhen looked at the eyes of the old man beside him and saw this little nostalgia that was imperceptible. The little eunuch next to him back then is now a calm person in charge.Experience together, grow together, and you will have a loyalty that is higher than the principle of monarch and minister.

When I went to the Empress Dowager, I saw Mei Zhuang, and seeing how the Empress Dowager and Mei Zhuang had a happy conversation, I had an atmosphere in my heart, annoyed that Mei Zhuang took risks in this way, annoyed that Mei Zhuang seemed to prove something She looked like she completely doubted me, and all the sights cast on me during the period were full of incomprehensible accusations, as if she was angry at me for misleading her.That's right, how can the queen mother not know what I can see, but the queen mother is like a person who has nothing to do,

"Mei'er, you are pregnant now, so don't walk around, and be careful not to hurt your grandson." The queen mother smiled happily, her eyes were benevolent, and she didn't seem to be fake at all, such a warm expression made Mei Zhuang suddenly It just showed the happy and contented tenderness of my little daughter, but it made me feel cold and trembling.Why did the Empress Dowager hide Mei Zhuang? Could it be that the Empress Dowager wanted this matter... I looked around in a panic, thinking I had lied to the Empress Dowager, but I didn't want to make contact with the Empress Dowager's cold eyes, which shocked her as if she could see through everything Wisdom, and desolation of calculating everything.

"Okay, you can go back and let Rong'er accompany Ai's family."

Right now, my heart is full of ice and fire, with grievances, anger, fear, and panic.He didn't pay attention to the details when Mei Zhuang left, and didn't see Mei Zhuang's gaze, although he was puzzled, he was also worried.

What I care about is that the Empress Dowager wants to push the boat along the way, and while ruining Meizhuang, sweep away more people, and I may be among them.

"Rong'er, are you having trouble with Meizhuang?" The Queen Mother's words seemed to come from an extremely cold place, with a chilling air, "Although Ai's family is old, it's not dazzled, and there are some things to watch." clearly."

"Queen," what does that mean, telling myself she knows it all, and then warning me not to interfere and just let things unfold?

"You and Mei'er Aijia both like it, but you are still too immature." The Queen Mother seemed to have regained her loving expression, and her words were full of concern for the younger generation. "Some things can only grow after experiencing."

Does this mean that the Empress Dowager will take action and protect Meizhuang?The queen mother believes in Meizhuang's innocence?

"If you want to do something, just let go and do it." The Queen Mother held my slightly sweaty hand and wiped the sweat off my palm with a handkerchief, "The Ai family will give you a chance to grow."

"Queen Mother," is it really me who cares about the queen mother who is planning for the younger generation?Is it Meizhuang she likes?Can I believe that the Queen Mother will finally make a move instead of throwing stones at you?

"Just one thing, Aijia won't let you go anymore." The Empress Dowager looked at me, I didn't dare to explore the deep meaning in her eyes, "What does Rong'er think of the emperor?"

"Your Majesty, very good." I can only give a vague statement.

"Tell me what's a good way?" I looked embarrassed, but the queen mother didn't let me go easily, "Why, I'm still shy, and it's okay to talk to Ai's family."

"Your majesty is handsome," I risked it all, "letting even a concubine who is a woman feel ashamed."

"This statement is fresh, but it's too superficial." The queen mother smiled and glanced at me, "You really want to not hide it, just say it."

"The emperor is considerate, and all the sisters in the harem are loved by him."

"Since you entered the palace, you have never served the emperor like others. Although what you say is true, it is not your personal experience."

You really won't let me go easily? "The emperor is wise. Every time I face the emperor, my concubines feel that they have nowhere to hide and cannot hide all their thoughts."

"So you are afraid and don't want to face it?"

"Chen and concubine dare not."

"Rong'er, don't lie, but because of the matter of serving the bed for the first time, you are afraid of the emperor, or have you blamed the emperor?"

After hesitating for a while, I decided on the line that I thought I could get away with. "How can I be resentful? That's my own fault, no one else. If I say I'm afraid, it's better to say I like it too much."

"How to say?"

"Because I like it so much, I can't control myself. If I get too close, I will become less like myself. I will be small, I will put on a smiling face and say right and wrong, shed tears and play tricks. Just because I want a little more grace, I will become less like myself. Myself, I even hate myself. So I don't touch it."

"Silly girl." The Empress Dowager seemed not expecting me to say it so bluntly, because of my directness, the similar and pitiful fate of the women in the harem.

"It's really stupid." The sudden male voice made the room so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling could be heard.

"Bang bang bang" only my nervous heartbeat was left in my ears, as if it came from my throat, and it vibrated to my eardrums: Your Majesty, why are you here?Even if he just came here, he should have met Mei Zhuang, how could he appear here alone?
