Jia Yuanchun felt guilty when he sent away the eunuch who had passed on the message.After being silent for a while, Jia Yuanchun secretly wiped away his tears.Seeing this, Eunuch Zhou went to comfort him.

Jia Yuanchun burst into tears like rain, and cried for a long time, just fine.

Eunuch Zhou knew that she missed her mother at home, so he couldn't bear it.If in the past, he thought so alone, he didn't have the guts to stop the empress.It's different now, the eldest uncle of the empress also has the same idea as me, and Eunuch Zhou has found a sense of identity, and he is more and more convinced that his ideas are correct.If he doesn't persuade him at this moment, he will be dereliction of duty.

"Your Majesty, don't blame the slaves for talking too much. It was totally wrong for Mr. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng to set up the palace. They shouldn't have made their own decisions at the time and made a fuss about building a grand view garden. Let's just say that the idea of ​​building the palace was not right in the palace at the time. No one mentioned them and asked them to build this, and there was no approval procedure from the Ministry of Industry. They decided on their own, what to do with this, and what to do, just for the sake of their own face. Have they ever thought about the difficulties of the empress? ?

When our emperor toured the south, he lived for ten days and a half months, and he didn't mention building a palace. Didn't he live in the minister's house?You can only stay for half a day when the empress goes home to visit her relatives. Do you think the emperor is willing to allocate 10,000+ taels of silver to you to build a palace where the empress can't live at all?To put it bluntly, the courtyard can't even be called a palace, and the palace needs to be approved by the imperial court. Ours is just a luxurious garden built privately. "Eunuch Zhou said cleverly.

Jia Yuanchun pondered and nodded, she naturally understood the truth.

"Rong servant, to be honest, the master and wife are able to live today because they did it by themselves. They don't know your hardships in the palace. Madam, you have to love yourself." Eunuch Zhou said, kneeling with tears in his eyes. Cried on the ground.

Jia Yuanchun also cried, pulled Eunuch Zhou up, and told him to stop talking. "I understand it all, and I have written it down. If I am soft-hearted in the future, you will scold me."

"Your Majesty, slaves don't dare." Eunuch Zhou knelt down again, and fell at Jia Yuanchun's feet.

Jia Yuanchun sighed and put his hand on Eunuch Zhou's head.Don't look at what kind of virtuous concubine she is in the palace now, she is beautiful for a while, but she doesn't know that the place where she lives is the dragon's pond and tiger's den, and she will never return.I'm afraid that in a few years, she won't even have a bone left.

Jia Yuanchun frowned irritably, raised his head subconsciously, and protected his stomach.

Eunuch Zhou raised his eyes, just as he saw this scene, he burst into tears again. "Your Majesty, you must keep the dragon species in your belly, no matter what the cost."

Jia Yuanchun took a deep breath, she was so selfish for the sake of her child, everything she did now was for herself and to protect the child.No matter what, she has to work hard to persevere and fight to the death.

"Easier said than done? Concubine Wan is nothing more than that. The Queen Mother, she single-handedly promoted me, and she is kind to me. Besides, all the people around me are her people. How can I hide or escape? I can't kill them all with one blow." , and immediately replaced everyone. If one by one, the wrong person was caught, taken, and replaced, the entire bedroom would be replaced up and down, and it would take more than a year. I don’t have that much time. There are more than eight more Month, the baby in my belly is about to be born."

Eunuch Zhou was also worried about this matter. The child came too suddenly, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for his mother.

Jia Yuanchun caressed her belly sadly, she was so scared that she would not be able to keep the dragon species in her stomach.It is not uncommon for concubines in the palace to have accidents during pregnancy, and I'm afraid she is one of them.When she had no children, the queen could still tolerate her existence. Once she had children, especially the prince, how could the queen tolerate the second Concubine Wan threatening her?I'm afraid that before my child is born, one dead body and two lives will be lost.

Among the women in this world, which mother would be more miserable than her?She was just pregnant, but she didn't dare to be happy. She lived in anxiety all day long, only worrying about one thing: death.

Eunuch Zhou was so anxious that he was sweating all over, and he was also afraid.He watched the empress get angry in a hurry, he was ten times more anxious than the empress, and felt a thousand times more uncomfortable.

Eunuch Zhou hugged Jia Yuanchun's feet suddenly, and cried: "Mother, we still have time, this slave will definitely think of a perfect solution, for sure. Don't you still have uncles and aunts, my servant? I see that there is no one in their husband and wife." It’s bad, each one is better than the other. Concubine Wan’s matter was thanks to their husband and wife’s help.”

Jia Yuanchun nodded, a glimmer of light finally appeared on the dark road ahead.It's just that the relationship between the second room and the first room has never been good, and there are still some old grudges. I'm afraid that the eldest uncle doesn't have the time to help her.

"In any case, the empress should give it a try. We might as well sell them to the couple first, and test it out." After Zhou Gonggong suggested, seeing that Concubine Xiande agreed very much, he rolled his eyes and hurriedly discussed with her.

……

Seeing that the spring is about to start, Xing ordered Wang Shanbao's family to get some auspicious things and send them to the Lin family.Liu Qingyun now lives in the neighboring mansion run by Lin Ruhai, and the two families are relatively close.However, there are no female relatives in Liu Qingyun's mansion, and it is inconvenient to socialize and the like.Mrs. Xing considered this issue, and then ordered people to send the things to the Lin family first, and the new wife of the Lin family will consider and dispose of them.Furthermore, the reason why the Xing family gave gifts this time is mostly due to the relationship with the Lin family.

Wang Shanbao's family took things with them, but when they came back, they led someone in through the side door with great fanfare.As soon as Mrs. Xing heard the rumor that there was an extra soft sedan chair, she hurriedly put down Brother Can and gave it to the nanny, and greeted her in person.As soon as she was discharged from the hospital, Mrs. Xing saw Daiyu walking towards her.

Daiyu is wearing a milky white pipa cardigan shirt woven with gold twine patterns, an eight-panel skirt with scarlet gold ruyi patterns, tulle jade brocade with pinched persimmon stalks, and a five-phoenix bun in the morning sun. A peacock walking with rubies wrapped in gold thread.With a smile on her lips, she followed every step, like a fairy in a painting.

When Daiyu saw Mrs. Xing, she was so excited that her eyes were full of tears. After a few steps, she threw herself into Mrs. Xing's arms affectionately, and called her eldest aunt sweetly.

Xing straightened Daiyu, knocked her face carefully, and wiped the wet corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. "How many times have I told you, don't just feel sad and cry, my heart hurts when you cry."

When Daiyu heard this, she immediately raised her eyebrows playfully and blinked. "Hey, Auntie, I'm just being courteous to you, so I don't want to cry. If you don't like it, next time you won't even be courteous."

"Ghost girl, you're right, I don't need you to be courteous." Xing said to Daiyu with half annoyance, and pulled her into the room with a smile.

In this situation, Daiyu entered the Rongxi Hall again, but she was in a different state of mind.This time, she doesn't have to rely on others to watch their faces.She is a guest, a real respected guest.

When Daiyu went into the room and sat down, she asked the nanny to bring brother Can to her, and hugged her to tease her.Daiyu was surprised to see that Brother Can liked Jiulianhuan, and praised him for his future success.

"Auntie, I heard that brother Can caught a week ago, and my father told me that he caught a good thing, but he gave me a trick. What is it?" Daiyu asked with a smile.

Xing smiled lightly: "It's funny to say that. I asked someone to prepare those things he liked, as well as pens, inks, papers, inkstones and abacus. After all, everything is very complete. This child has been crawling for a long time. Grab one. It's strange, seeing him like Jiulianhuan so much on weekdays, he didn't even touch it that day.

Your uncle was about to deal with official business and was about to go out with official documents and official seals. When he got impatient, he put the things on the table and sat down to rest.Unexpectedly, this little guy became a spirit, but he grabbed the things his father put.The official seal was heavy, and he couldn't hold it, so he simply sat on it and didn't move. "

Daiyu laughed when she heard this, played with Brother Can in her arms, and lightly poked his forehead with her hand. "Brother Can is going to be very promising in the future. Brother Can, you will give Cousin Lin a face in the future, okay?"

"Mmmmmmm..." Brother Can groaned for a long time, waving his chubby arms at Daiyu.

Daiyu laughed even more, and hugged Brother Can tightly. "It's really rare, I can't bear to let him go."

"Fortunately, take him away quickly, so I don't have to worry about it." Xing joked.

"I think, I'm afraid my uncle won't let me go, and my aunt will also be reluctant." Daiyu looked at Xing shi meaningfully, and laughed again.The vermilion dress already set off Daiyu's flushed cheeks, this smile is so beautiful, I am afraid that there is no beauty in the world that can match her.

Xing couldn't appreciate Daiyu's beauty enough, so she held her chin and looked at it for a while.

Being looked at by her aunt like this, Daiyu was very shy and blushed, but she looked even more shy and cute.

In the end, Daiyu couldn't withstand the "scrutiny" of her aunt, so she stomped her feet in a hurry.

Xing laughed loudly, and hugged Daiyu to her side strangely. "I just said that you are suitable for wearing festive clothes. It's so beautiful. Your mother's filial piety period has passed for more than two years. Just remember it in your heart and don't delay your own life. Your mother is also looking forward to it when she is under Jiuquan. For your good, she doesn't expect you to think about her or anything. I am a mother, and I will be happy if the child is good. All mothers in the world think like this. So, Yu'er, you have to live well, and Live a peaceful life, so that your mother is not in vain for giving birth to you and raising you."

Daiyu nodded with a blushing face.

"Is your stepmother treating you well?" Mrs. Xing asked the old question again.When the bride just married into the family, she was kind to Daiyu, maybe it was only for a while, and it might not be really kind.The so-called time sees people's hearts, of course Xing cannot ignore this point.

Daiyu nodded, "It's all right."

"Then, is there any movement in her belly?" Left and right Daiyu was already engaged, and Xing felt that it would be okay for her to ask this question.

Daiyu was stunned for a moment, knowing that her aunt was not an outsider, she said to her: "A doctor comes to check her pulse every month, so there is nothing special to say. I am afraid that she will be in a hurry, and I want to persuade her, but I don't know what to say."

"You are right. You can't persuade this kind of thing. If you want to persuade it, your father should persuade you. Don't worry about it. The matter of children is up to fate. When your father married her, he didn't expect to have incense." Xing replied.

It was the first time for Daiyu to hear this talk, and she was slightly surprised.

Xing smiled, grabbed Daiyu's hand and said, "Your father doesn't want you to be dependent on others, but also for your future marriage."

Daiyu naturally understands this truth. There is a popular custom of not marrying five times among the people. She is the eldest daughter who has lost her mother, and she must always be raised under someone else's name.

"Besides, your father should also have a companion, and life is busy. Aunt knows that you are a sensible person and can understand this matter, so she didn't persuade you much." Xing explained.

Daiyu nodded, her aunt understood her, and she naturally understood the reason behind it.

"Come today, but do you want to stay with me for a few days?" Xing changed the topic and asked.

Daiyu nodded with a smile: "Yes, I haven't been with my aunt for a long time. I have come here to make trouble for a few days. My aunt has to make arrangements and take good care of me. Otherwise, be careful and I will go back and sue." After Daiyu finished speaking, she playfully told Xing Blink, I'm really rude to her.

Mrs. Xing felt even more intimate, smiled and hugged her master Daiyu, announcing the good news: "You are here, I just heard a big happy event today, and your uncle has not had time to hear it yet, you are the first. "

"Oh? What kind of joy?" Daiyu asked in surprise.

"Your elder sister Yingchun has moved!" Xing said with a smile.

"Movement?" Daiyu repeated subconsciously. After being puzzled for a while, she realized it in Xing's meaningful eyes. "Second sister is happy?"

Xing nodded with a smile: "Yes, the doctor's pulse said it was a male fetus, but it may not be accurate, we have to wait for the baby to be born."

"Great joy, this is really great joy. After you said that, I really think it's time to go and see her. Ever since she got married, I haven't had the chance to see her again." Daiyu recalled.

"That's easy, just take advantage of your presence these few days, let's post a message, and go see her later." Xing said with a smile.

Daiyu nodded again and again, with an indescribable joy on her face.

Brother Can was still tugging at Jiu Lianhuan, when suddenly he heard the women above him laughing, and looked up at Xing Shi and Daiyu with puckered lips.Guar shook his little head and froze for a while, when the laughter of Xingshi and Daiyu stopped him, he suddenly grinned and started laughing.

"Little man, how old is he to learn to deal with people? It's a pity that you are half a beat behind." Daiyu smiled and patted brother Can's head.

Mrs. Xing smiled, she was no longer surprised by Brother Can's "personality".On the other hand, Jia She, every time he sees him "making trouble", he always has all kinds of complaints and dissatisfaction.I don't see him treating other children like this, but he doesn't deal with brother Can. The father and son are like a pair of enemies.

It is said that Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived, and Jia Amnesty is back.

Daiyu was tired after seeing Jia Amnesty, so she left for the time being.

Jia She raised his eyebrows, looked at Daiyu's leaving back, and smiled.

"What?" Xing asked her.

Jia Amnesty pursed his lips, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. "Our niece has her own heart."

Xing was shocked: "What do you mean?"

Seeing this, Jia Amnesty quickly waved his hands to his wife and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about anyone else, but Liu Qingyun."

Xing heard that it was him, and relaxed. "Both of them are engaged. She should have her future husband in her heart. It's perfectly normal. But why did you say that all of a sudden?"

"Don't you see Chun Wei now? Miss Lin is worried that Liu Qingyun is overworked, so she asks brother-in-law Lin to give him some advice."

Daiyu gave Jia She a glance, reached out and tapped his forehead: "Look at what you're thinking, this is so normal, it's worth mentioning? But it's really rare for Lin girl to think about this. In the future Married to Liu Qingyun, I guess she is a good hand of Wangfu."

"Well, like her great aunt." Jia She flattered her like a dog's leg, and after he finished speaking, he stared into Xing's eyes, "I really married a good wife!"

"Yeah, haha!" Brother Can stood up, wobbled and ran to Jia Zheng, with his butt facing him and Xing's face, and then sat down on Jia She's hand.

Jia She stared wide-eyed, looked at his son's little head, and withdrew his hand. "You guy, do you regard me as an official seal? When you grow up, do you still want to flatten your father?"

Xing was so happy that her stomach hurt, she held her son in her arms, and scolded Jia She not to frighten her son.

Jia She said innocently: "I still scare him? Good wife, when did you think he was afraid of me? When did he not scare me!" After Jia She said, he patted Brother Can's little face with his hand, proudly Laughed.That's right, he just took the hand that Brother Can was sitting on, and patted Brother Can's face.The father and son fought for so long, Jia She finally felt that he had won.

"Ah," Brother Can yelled, Jia She glared at him, Brother Can shrank into Xing's arms, opened his mouth and shouted slowly, "Father, dear, bad."

Articulation is unusually clear.

Jia She looked at his son in horror, and so did Xing.

Xing happily picked up her son, and squeezed his face strangely: "My good boy, you can speak sentences. Although it is a bit shorter, it is still a sentence."

Jia Zheng was horrified: "Yes, the first thing my son would say was to scold his father."

Mrs. Xing squinted at him: "It's not that you are a bad guy! Don't think I don't know what you are secretly teaching your son."

Jia She was wronged: "What I taught her is "mother is bad", not "father is bad". Daughter-in-law, please listen to me, I am also doing this to protect our husband and wife relationship. Recently, you are too close to your son. Ignore me. I just want my son to distance himself from you a little, a little bit, and you and I...hehe..."

Xing smiled lightly, waved brother Can's hand to Jia She, and said to her son with a smile: "Say goodbye to father, let's go to sleep."

"Oh, don't, take me!" Jia She quickly chased after her...

After the family of three took a nap, Mrs. Xing met the steward who was waiting outside.

As soon as the steward entered the door, he said to Xing in surprise: "Madam, we may make a lot of money this year."

"how?"

"Just now, someone from the Internal Affairs Bureau of the palace came and said that it was the utensils used by the emperor to sacrifice and pray for blessings this summer, so they came out of our shop."

Xing was surprised: "Didn't the imperial merchants take care of these things in the past?"
