The weather in Bianjing is getting warmer in spring, and the luxuriant flowers and trees in Yongxi Forbidden Palace quietly reveal their fresh greenery.
At this time, Rong Xi's child was already four months old, and she started to show signs of pregnancy. She never suffered from nausea again, and her food intake was much larger than before.
Perhaps it was because the fetus in her womb was growing too fast, but her body was more prone to fatigue than before. Rong Xi often sweated nightly, and her calves always twitched suddenly, her body was actually more delicate than in the first few months.
Right now, the weather in Bianjing is still slightly chilly, and Rong Xi hasn't been out of the Eastern Palace in this month, but fortunately, the Eastern Palace occupies a large area, if you feel bored, you can feed the fish swimming in the pond, and you can live a comfortable life.
Rong Xi counted the days in her heart, she and Mu Huai's child should be born in the early autumn of this year, regardless of whether it is male or female, it is her precious treasure.
Thinking of the appearance of a newborn baby, Rong Xi's heart softened.
Because her abdomen was getting bigger and Bianjing was about to welcome summer, Mu Huai called people from the Shangyi Bureau to come to the East Palace to measure her figure and make some new clothes for her.
In the past, for ordinary concubines to tailor their clothes, it was enough to call a few imperial concubines. This was the treatment only for concubines with higher status.
But Rong Xi didn't expect that the chief officer of the Shangyi Bureau would come to the East Palace to measure her clothes in person. This time, two Fengyu and four garment workers also came, and the battle was not small.
Seeing this, the servants in the East Palace secretly felt that Di Rong Liang was really favored and had fully enjoyed the honor bestowed upon her by the crown prince.
Mu Huai ordered such an old person to come here because he thought that women should like to dress up. Rong Xi stayed in the East Palace obediently like a bird in a cage this month, and never complained to him.
Based on the idea that women should be proud of those who please themselves, Mu Huai wanted to use these clothes to please her.
When he was an emperor in his previous life, he was not extravagant, and he hated those extravagant and licentious monarchs.
Especially the kind of stupid master who spends a lot of money for beauties and seeks the people's fat and anointing.
In this life, with a beauty like Rong Xi, he couldn't escape the vulgarity.
Unconsciously, he wants to pamper and pamper this woman, and wants to reward her with any luxury and precious things.
Mu Huai thought, now his behavior is also normal.
After all, that woman looked like a troublesome woman, so he naturally wanted to give her the treatment she deserved.
With so many people coming to the Shangyi Bureau, Rong Xi was naturally excited, but it wasn't the kind of excitement that a woman wants to please herself.
After Yu Zhaorong died, she almost became Feng Yu of the Shangyi Bureau. When she was a female officer beside Yu Zhaorong before, she had a good relationship with the female officials of the Sixth Bureau of the Internal Division.
Rong Xi's favorite thing is to study clothing patterns, and she also has a strong interest in weaving and embroidery. If Mu Huai and Mu Qian had no shortage of servants at that time, then she should be doing her favorite job in the Shangyi Bureau now .
But who would have expected that she, a little court lady, would become the Prince Liangdi, and she would also be pregnant with the Prince's heir.
Thinking about it, Rong Xi shook his head helplessly.
Her abdomen will grow even more after a while, so when one of the Feng Yu personally measures her body, there must be room for it. It will take time to make the clothes, so the clothes must be bigger.
Shangyi Supervisor ordered the garment workers to show Rong Xi all kinds of precious embroidery and brocades one by one. She thought that Rong Liangdi came from the people, so she didn't know which ones were which, but she didn't expect this Liangdi. Actually know every embroidery.
What is Hanren Embroidery, what is Shu Embroidery, and what is weaving colorful Qiluo, all of them are familiar by heart.
When the Shangyi Supervisor was slightly surprised, he also thought to himself, since Rong Liangdi is the favorite of the cold and arrogant prince, even if she came from the common people, she will definitely not be an empty-headed embroidered pillow. She brought her subordinates to the East Palace, but they had to serve her carefully and respectfully.
Rong Xi picked up the brocade, but heard Shang Yi Jian's words flattering: "Most of these embroideries are exchanged with good horses from the Yan Kingdom and Ye Kingdom, and everything is very expensive. Liangdi is beautiful, so she should set off these gorgeous things." satin."
After all, Shangyi inspected Rong Xi's expression.
But seeing that Rong Xi's face was very calm, she sighed, and said softly: "How come Da Qi native can't produce a few world-famous embroideries. In recent years, the satin of the rich clothes worn by the noble girls in Bianjing, They were bought from other countries."
Her voice is very delicate, and Shang Yi listened to her with a sense of familiarity, and secretly felt that this delicate voice was very similar to the big court lady who served Yu Zhaorong before.
Shang Yijian quickly restrained his thoughts, and replied respectfully: "The production process of these embroidery products is cumbersome. Take the Han Ren embroidery of Ye State Embroidery as an example. It takes a long time for several embroiderers to embroider every day. horses. If you want to get a rare horse, it will take a longer process and more work.”
Rong Xi hummed, looking at the satin that cost thousands of dollars, only four clothes were made by the people from the Shangyi Bureau.
Two sets of daily clothes and two sets of pajamas.
As for the fancy clothes for the banquet, it is enough for her to wear Di Liang's life clothes.
The Shangyi Supervisor was startled, it was rumored that Rong Liangdi was a domineering woman who was spoiled and arrogant, she thought that this time she came here, Rong Liangdi would have to make at least dozens of Chinese clothes to be enough.
Unexpectedly, she only had four clothes made!
Shangyi Supervisor was puzzled, and asked again: "...Rong Liangdi, don't you want to make more clothes, this court lady has four regular clothes every season."
As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Xi's complexion did not change, but Dan Xiang glanced at Shang Yijian.
Supervisor Shang Yi immediately realized that he had said something wrong, how could she be so stupid as to compare Prince Liangdi with a court lady, fortunately Rong Liangdi did not make things difficult for her.
Shang Yijian changed the subject, handed a stack of hairpin-like patterns to Rong Xi, and said: "The clothes worker also brought some high-quality jade materials, and some precious gemstones. Choose whichever one you like, and when the slaves return to the Clothes Bureau, they will send someone to find a craftsman to type them out."
Rong Xi lowered her eyes and casually flipped through the patterns. She didn't want to wear hairpins, but Mu Huai wanted to reward her with these, so she had to take his face into consideration.
She knows best what a man has in mind when he rewards a woman.
Then he picked a few at random, handed them to the clothes supervisor, and said softly: "The clothing supervisor can make a few hairpins at random according to these patterns. As for the treasures to be inlaid, I trust the clothing supervisor's vision, and it will be up to you." You choose."
The Shangyi supervisor should be respectful, before leaving, he still felt that this Rong Liangdi always had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
After the people from the Shangyi Bureau left the East Palace, Dan Xiang presented the account books of the East Palace's expenses for this month, and let Rong Xi have a look.
Rong Xi's black hair was half-curled, with only an elegant magnolia hairpin on the side of her bun, her bright profile looked very calm, her eyelashes were thick and long, and she lowered her eyes when looking at the account books, as if she was walking out of a painting Come out beauties.
Such a picture of a beautiful woman is naturally admirable, and people can't take their eyes off it.
Dan Xiang blinked, always felt that Rong Liangdi was very similar to the old Aunt Rong, with the same surname and the same voice.
After she entered the East Palace, she never asked her the names of her servants, but she could know the names of every court lady and eunuch.
For more than a month, he was also doing Aunt Rong's previous errands, taking care of the Prince's chores in the East Palace.
Dan Xiang brought green tea to Rong Xi, placed it behind the small sandalwood case, and persuaded softly: "Liangdi...you have worked hard during pregnancy, let's take a rest first."
Rong Xi nodded, but her beautiful eyes did not move from the account book.
Seeing that Dan Xiang was still standing beside her, Rong Xi couldn't help but sneer, and replied in a soft voice: "After a while, the East Palace will have a concubine, so I can be a lazy concubine, and now I have to take care of your highness." These trifles."
Seeing that Rong Xi's expression was very calm when she mentioned the word Zhengfei, Dan Xiang couldn't help being a little frustrated.
A while ago, people from the Ministry of Rituals came to teach Rong Liangdi how to learn etiquette, she learned it very quickly, and now her behavior is also elegant and graceful, not at all like coming from the folk, but her temperament is like a lady from an aristocratic family.
She was born so beautiful, isn't it just that her status is inferior.
In terms of Pang De, Rong Liang Di is worthy of the crown prince.
Dan Xiang felt sorry for Rong Xi in her heart, bowed her head and said: "Don't worry, Liangdi, even if a newcomer enters the East Palace, the most important woman in the crown prince's heart is still Liangdi, and no one can surpass you."
After these words, Rong Xi finally put down the account book in his hand.
Although she knew that Dan Xiang was speaking for her master, Rong Xi didn't want her to have such unqualified and presumptuous thoughts.
Her tone was slightly lowered, and she said to Dan Xiang: "Don't say these words in the future, if others listen to it, it will cause trouble for the prince."
Dan Xiang immediately admitted his mistake, and dared not say another word.
When Rong Xi introduced Dan Xiang as his maid of honor, he trusted her.
But even if you trust her, you must know the art of manipulating others, and you must not let the envoys who serve her side by side be quick to talk.
Because in the future, every word and deed of Dan Xiang will represent her every word and deed.
Although Dan Xiang was smarter than the maids beside her, she was not too tempered, so she had to give her a good mention.
Seeing that Dan Xiang was a little embarrassed, Rong Xi ordered her in a lighter tone, "Go and see if the lunch is ready. The prince will go back to the East Palace today."
Not long after Dan Xiang got the order, Mu Huai returned to the East Palace not long after he stepped down.
Whenever the courtiers take a bath, Mu Huai is still busy and has no habit of resting.
He didn't wear the royal robes today, only a dark colored shirt, tall and straight, with an extremely handsome face.
Rong Xi always felt that he was wearing dark clothes, and his aura was too fierce, even a little aggressive.
After entering the side hall, Mu Huai shifted his gaze to the woman's slightly protruding lower abdomen, recalling that both of them felt fetal movement there last night, and felt very miraculous.
It was the first time for him to be a father and husband in two lifetimes.
Last night, Rong Xi's fetus moved, he was excited, but also a little bit at a loss.
He sat beside Rong Xi and asked in a low voice: "After Gu left this morning, did the child make trouble with you?"
As he spoke, he took hold of the woman's slender catkin, but felt that the delicate little Liang Di's hands were actually oozing cold sweat.
She is weaker today than before. Fortunately, he managed to suppress the rumors that she was the daughter of a criminal minister, and severely punished the palace servants who gossip. Worry.
Rong Xi leaned in his arms, shook her head, and replied: "The baby is very obedient, and he is not a concubine."
Mu Huai's cold and serious face gradually became peaceful. He saw the pattern on the Luohan's bed, and asked the woman in his arms softly: "Do you like all the hairpin patterns on the Shangyi Bureau today?"
Rong Xi nodded, and echoed in a soft voice: "There are several, and I like them all."
These words made the man very satisfied and gave him a sense of accomplishment.
She likes it.
Mu Huai frowned when he saw Rong Xi's stunning face look a little limp.
He was thinking that after capturing this woman, he would keep her in the East Palace and let her be a bird in a cage.
But this delicate bird has been in the golden silk cage for a long time, and it is beautiful, but it is always a little pitiful to look at.
The fragrance on a woman's body is even more intoxicating because of her pregnancy.
Mu Huai kissed her on the forehead, and said in a low voice: "Be patient for a few months, after the baby is born, whether you want to go hunting in the remote suburbs, climb high and look far, or cruise in the middle of the lake, the lonely city go with you."
