"Have you checked it out?"

Zhuang Luoyan sat on the chaise longue and looked at Fu Bao, without the slightest joy of being pregnant with a dragon seed.

"Back to the master, the servants have checked, this imperial doctor Mao has been an old doctor for many years, and he has no contact with other masters in the palace other than asking for the pulse to treat the disease. He should not be on duty when he is examining your pulse, because another one There was an accident at the imperial physician's house, so I changed shifts without warning." Fu Bao hesitated for a while, and said, "Moreover, the master never asked him to take a pulse in the past. "

Zhuang Luoyan frowned. What Fubao said was very reasonable. In the past, most of the people who asked her for a pulse were those imperial doctors. The old doctor.

"Master, why do you doubt..." Yun Xi looked at Zhuang Luoyan's belly and said in a low voice, "Maybe you really have an heir, after all that time over a month ago..."

"How can it be so easy," Zhuang Luoyan sneered, "The food I eat these days is cold in nature. If I really have children, wouldn't I have any reaction?" What's more, from a woman's point of view, what kind of joy is in the body of having a child? She couldn't hide it with reason, but when she heard the doctor's diagnosis, she was not happy, but suspicious. When people have the instinct of doubt instead of joy, it can only mean one thing, it is a joke to have a dragon seed.

Yun Xi thought back carefully, and her face turned pale. Now everyone in the palace knows that the master is pregnant. If the master is really not pregnant, then the consequences...

Only Yun Xi and Fu Bao were present in the house, and Ting Zhu went to the small kitchen to supervise eating. Looking at the pale faces of the two, Zhuang Luoyan suddenly showed a smile.

Yun Xi and Fu Bao exchanged glances, Yun Xi smiled and said, "It is a great joy for the master to have a son, and the slaves will definitely serve them carefully."

A conspiracy is a conspiracy when the other party does not know it. If the other party knows it, it is a joke.

Counting nine cold days, even though the eunuchs swept the snow hard, the road was still slippery. Outside the queen's palace, Concubine Shu Gui sat on the stable chariot and looked at Zhao Chongyi who was approaching from the opposite side. When the other party approached, she stepped down from the chariot and bowed to herself, before she smiled softly: "Sister Zhao Chongyi is exempt from the ceremony. Now that you are pregnant, you have to be careful about your body." After speaking, he helped the palace maid's hand down the chariot and stopped three steps away from Zhuang Luoyan, "It's cold today, I think the queen should be sympathetic to you. If you have a dragon seed, please be safe."

"The Empress is kind, and she has spared the concubine's greetings," Zhuang Luoyan said with a happy smile on her face, "It's just that there is nothing to do in winter, the concubines and sisters together to greet the Empress and concubines. Without losing the courtesy of a concubine."

Concubine Shu Gui smiled as usual: "Sister Zhao Chongyi is obedient and virtuous, no wonder the emperor and the empress dote on them so much." After speaking, she turned and walked towards the gate of the queen's palace, the smile on her face was a little chilly.

Zhuang Luoyan supported Yun Xi's hand and followed slowly, the smile on her face still carried the happiness of a woman's first pregnancy.

"Concubine Shu is here, and Zhao Chongyi is here."

The eunuch's summoning made everyone sitting in the house turn their eyes to the door, and most of their eyes fell on Zhuang Luoyan who was behind Concubine Shu Gui.

Before Zhuang Luoyan's greeting was completed, the queen asked Heyu to help Zhuang Luoyan get up and sit on the chair that had been prepared earlier, with a tone of reproach and love: "The emperor and this palace have forgiven you for greetings, The dragon species in your belly is important, so you don’t have to be so polite.”

"The emperor and the queen's concubine are kind, but the concubines dare not forget the rules," Zhuang Luoyan smiled. "What's more, the queen's concubine is kind, and the concubines still want to share your blessings with the children."

Hearing this, the queen smiled and complimented a few words, and then rewarded Zhuang Luoyan with some things, which was charitable and generous, as if she was also looking forward to the child in Zhuang Luoyan's belly.

Zhuang Luoyan sighed inwardly, the empress is better at acting than Concubine Shu Gui. In fact, which woman in the world would like another woman to be pregnant with her husband's child, just because of her status, whether she is willing or not, she must be generous and kind.

The other concubines in the house were happy or unhappy, and they all said congratulations. After all, if something goes wrong, who can bear the blame

"Zhao Chongyi is a lucky person. If she gets the blessing of the empress, it will not be a blessing. I think she will give birth to a dragon son for the emperor, so the concubine will congratulate her in advance." Yangui said with a smile, Turning her head to look at Ye Shurong, who was silent, "Ye Shurong, do you think so?"

No one in the audience knew that Ye Shurong had become reticent since the last time her child was born. Yan Guibi's words didn't know whether it was to stimulate Ye Shurong or to seek Zhao Chongyi's bad luck. After all, this child stayed in her stomach very few The month is gone.

"Zhao Chongyi is naturally blessed," Ye Shurong glanced at Yangui Concubine lightly, and then smiled faintly.

But Yangui Concubine was a little chilled by her eyes, and stopped answering, but she was secretly shocked by the momentum in Ye Shurong's eyes, because she used to underestimate this unfavored Ye Shurong.

"Thank you, Ye Shurong, for Ji Yan." Zhuang Luoyan couldn't see the intention of Yangui's concubine, but she seemed calm and relaxed as she had no child in her belly.

Now that her menstrual period is delayed, and she has just been diagnosed as "pregnant", then the person in charge of this matter will definitely not jump out to expose her fake pregnancy. It seems too eager to cause suspicion. After all, the emperor is not without brains man of.

As for why her menstrual period is delayed, she needs to have someone check her small kitchen, and she doesn't know if there are "big supplements" in her food

"It is a great joy for Zhao Chongyi to be pregnant," the queen said, ignoring the words of the concubines and concubines, "Today is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and there will be a Laba banquet in the evening. The imperial decree is about to come down, and if any sisters receive the grace to accompany the feast, they must prepare well. Although Gaomei is a poor and small country, we must not lose the demeanor of a great country.”

The concubines said yes, and began to secretly pray that they could accompany the banquet. After all, this is the emperor's favor, and it is also a matter of face.

Not long after Zhuang Luoyan returned to Xihe Palace from the Queen's Palace, the eunuch who passed the decree came, and the content was nothing more than to accompany the royal banquet.

Not long after sending the eunuch Chuanzhi away, Fubao came back to report.

"Master, the servants have made inquiries. Apart from the empress, there are only six masters who have received the imperial edict to accompany the banquet, Concubine Shu Gui, Concubine Xian, Concubine Rou, Concubine Ning, Xu Zhaorong, and you, not even the concubine Yangui of Linyuexuan. This honor."

"Master, apart from the concubine, you and Xu Zhaorong are the only people accompanying you at the banquet. It shows the emperor's love for you." Yun Xi said with a happy smile, "It must be... tonight is also very lively."

"It's been deserted recently, and I also want to be more lively," Zhuang Luoyan put Mrs. Tang in her hands on the small table, "I remember that the plain-colored skirt that Shangyi Bureau sent last time was pretty tight and crescent-colored. The bottom is embroidered with red plums to match the snow scene tonight, and the snow-colored fox fur given by the emperor on the outside will not be extravagant."

"There is a little red in the white, and it can't be more beautiful. The master's vision is not as good as that of a servant." Yun Xi bent her knees, "The servant will prepare it for you."

"Don't worry, the banquet is in the evening, and it's not too late to prepare after lunch," Zhuang Luoyan got up and walked to the jade lotus flower. "The more anxious you are, the easier it will be to cause trouble, so be careful everywhere."

"Yes." Yun Xi stepped back with a smile.

When the fingertips touch the lotus leaf of the jade lotus, the coolness quickly spreads to the bottom of my heart, but although the lotus leaf is cool, the smooth touch makes people feel comfortable.

Opening the window, the cold wind blew on his face, causing Zhuang Luoyan to close his eyes slightly, but the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be blown away.

"Master, Zhao Chongyi will accompany the banquet tonight."

"Really?" In the darkness, the voice of the speaker paused, "At the banquet, eating is inevitably complicated. If you eat the wrong thing and slip your tire, you must blame the destiny."

"Zhao Chongyi is not fortunate to have children, so who's to blame?"

"Yes, who's to blame. In this harem, there is always no shortage of people who are unlucky."

"Wind, snow, frost and cold weather, put on makeup by the window. Before Hao Lang took the gun and went into battle, the slave waited three years after three years. We have to meet today..."

Listening to the graceful singing of the singer, Feng Jin closed his eyes and rested, even Gao Dezhong didn't open his eyes when he came in.

Gao Dezhong glanced at the singer who caressed the pipa playing, then looked at the emperor, and stood quietly in the corner without saying a word.

"Let's all go down." After a long while, Feng Jin opened his eyes and waved away the artists in the palace, looking at Gao Dezhong who was standing in the corner, "Is it clear?"

"Go back to the emperor, this imperial doctor Mao has nothing to do with Zhao Chongyi, and no other master has contacted him before. Master Zhao is really pregnant." One chance to conceive.

"In this case, I will send the imperial doctor to ask her for a pulse tomorrow. After all, she is pregnant with my child, so it's okay to be careful. Some concubines in the harem should also be promoted, and Zhao Chongyi should also be recorded. Feng Jin thought for a while, "Tomorrow I will send a few court ladies and eunuchs who are good at meals to Xihe Palace. I remember that when the queen was pregnant, she had no appetite for food. Now people prepare it, and there is no need to lose money." body."

"Yes, all the servants remember it." Gao Dezhong responded one by one.

"Well," Feng Jin nodded, "Tonight, let the people around Zhao Chongyi be careful to serve. There are many people in the harem, so I'm afraid of collision."

"Yes." Gao Dezhong understood what the emperor meant, and hoped that Zhao Chongyi's blessing would be deep enough to give birth to a child safely. There is no good thing in this harem. Seeing what the emperor meant, he seemed to want Zhao Chongyi to give birth to this child.

Alas, Zhao Chongyi also has to have a worry-free family, otherwise who knows what it will be like
