"Sister Mei has just drunk a bowl of soup. Although the soup is refreshing, it is also chilled. Sister, don't be too greedy for the cold, or you may hurt your stomach." An Lingrong spoke up to stop her, and Caiyue quickly followed suit:

"My lady, Concubine Yi is right. Concubine Yi should have advised you a long time ago. You drank three or four bowls of wine before going to bed the other day. Although it is hot now, it is good to drink something cool to cool down. But you are so greedy for coolness, it must be harmful to your health."

"It's hot today, it's okay for me to drink more." Shen Meizhuang had no intention of listening to the advice and was about to get the bowl.

"My lady! Concubine Yi, please try to persuade her..." Caiyue looked at An Lingrong with a pout in anger.

"Huan'er, look at the kind of life I'm living now. Even if I want to drink an extra bowl of sour plum soup, someone will stop me. Never mind, never mind, I'll listen to you..." After Shen Meizhuang finished speaking, Caiyue took the sour plum soup in front of Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan looked at the scene in front of her, and her heart tightened. When did Mei Jie become so close to An Lingrong? She was excluded from every word.

"Lingrong is right. We should not seek coolness during the hot summer. We should take good care of ourselves." Zhen Huan came back to her senses, forced a faint smile, and continued to advise.

"By the way, Princess Wen Yi will be nineteen next month, and the Emperor has instructed the Empress to celebrate it in a grand manner." Shen Meizhuang spoke as she recalled the Emperor's instructions when she and the Empress were serving him the day before.

"The Emperor likes Wen Yi, so it's inevitable that he has to see Concubine Cao more often. She is even more proud that Concubine Hua's affairs did not implicate her." Zhen Huan's complexion returned to normal, and she spoke calmly.

"I also heard about what happened the other day. This Cao Qinmo is indeed a difficult person. He can hit her soft spot with just a few words. We really have to be on guard." Mei Zhuang nodded and looked at Zhen Huan, and then said:

"Don't worry, the emperor is fine, isn't he? Among us, the emperor values ​​you the most, so I don't think he will doubt you."

"Cao Qinmo is a calm and scheming person. She provoked the emperor to suspect me with just a few words that day, and she didn't even leave any evidence. We still have to keep an eye on this person." Zhen Huan nodded and spoke while fanning herself with the round fan in her hand.

An Lingrong looked at Zhen Huan. She had the nerve to say that. What was the difference between her behavior towards herself that day and Cao Qinmo's!

As he was thinking about it, he couldn't help but sneered, which attracted Shen Meizhuang's sidelong glance.

"Lingrong, what's wrong?" Shen Meizhuang asked with concern.

"Nothing. I just thought of Cao Qinmo's provocative look that day and felt that she was a mean person. I looked down on her." An Lingrong smiled at Shen Meiyu and continued to drink the sour plum soup in front of her.

"Well, her methods are truly despicable." Shen Meizhuang nodded. An Lingrong looked up at Zhen Huan. Zhen Huan's eyes flickered and avoided An Lingrong's gaze.

Shen Meizhuang talked about Princess Wen Yi's birthday party again, and then discussed the topic of offspring with Zhen Huan.

"I invited you here today to talk about this. Although the birth of dragon descendants depends on God's will, man proposes and God disposes. You and I also need some human efforts." Shen Meizhuang changed the subject and looked at the two people in front of her with a smile.

Zhen Huan's face flushed instantly after hearing this. She picked up the round fan in her hand, covered her face with it, and lowered her voice, "It doesn't matter whether the emperor comes or not. What else can be done by human beings?"

Seeing this, Shen Meizhuang just lowered her eyebrows and smiled, then stood up and took out two prescriptions from the wooden box behind her, handed them to the two men and said:

"Look, I used both soft and hard tactics to get Doctor Jiang to prescribe this prescription for me. He said that if I follow this prescription, I will definitely have a boy. You should also follow this prescription to take care of yourself."

"Sister, which Imperial Physician Jiang are you talking about?" An Lingrong asked. If she remembered correctly, Jiang Shen and Jiang Cheng in the palace were both Concubine Hua's men.

"Who is the other Doctor Jiang? It's Jiang Cheng, who is the best at obstetrics and gynecology." Shen Meizhuang answered, and An Lingrong gently closed her eyes.

Sure enough, what is coming cannot be avoided...

"Jiang Cheng? His brother Jiang Shen is the imperial physician who takes care of Concubine Cao and her daughter."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan also frowned. Since Jiang Shen was the one who took care of Concubine Cao, he must be from Concubine Hua's side. She felt that this person could not be trusted.

"Yes, it's him! I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I have sent people to investigate. It turns out that Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen are not born of the same mother. Jiang Cheng is the son of the main wife, and Jiang Shen is the son of a concubine of the Jiang family. The mistress and the concubine of the family are not on good terms, and the two brothers are even more hostile to each other. Otherwise, I would not dare to employ him."

Shen Meizhuang said this and patted An Lingrong and Zhen Huan's hands to reassure them.

"Besides, I also read a lot of medical books for this prescription. Even if I don't believe him, I still believe in myself to some extent."

"I always feel that something is wrong. You should put the prescription away first and ask Doctor Wen before using it. Liu Zhu, go to the Imperial Hospital to see if Lord Wen is here. If he is, ask him to come over immediately."

"My lady, you don't know that Lord Sun, the Protector of the Nation, is seriously ill, and Lord Wen has gone to treat him. He said that all the food and daily necessities are in the Sun Mansion." Liu Zhu replied.

"What a coincidence." Zhen Huan spoke, seeming to be thinking about something.

"Oh, don't worry. I've taken this medicine twice and I think it works well. You don't have to make a fuss." Shen Meizhuang stuffed two prescriptions into the hands of the two men and patted their hands.

"My lady, there seems to be an imperial physician standing outside." Caiyue spoke, and the three of them looked towards the door, and sure enough, they saw an imperial physician standing in the yard waiting.

Although An Lingrong had never seen Liu Bin, she was sure that this person must be Liu Bin.

The imperial physician took the patient's pulse, and An Lingrong and Zhen Huan said goodbye and left Xianyue Pavilion.

"Sister, are you still blaming me?" After leaving Xianyue Pavilion, Zhen Huan was about to hold An Lingrong's hand.

"Sister, you really have a bad memory. Have you forgotten what Lingrong said the day before yesterday?" An Lingrong withdrew her hand and looked at Zhen Huan.

"Lingrong, please listen to my explanation..."

"Sister, there's no need to say more." It was a fork in the road, so An Lingrong supported Ju Qing and walked towards Zhan Jing Zhai.

The next day, An Lingrong asked Shen Meizhuang to come to Zhuxie Tower of Natural Painting in the evening to enjoy the scenery, and Shen Meizhuang arrived as promised.

There is a small octagonal table and several rattan chairs on the top floor of Zhuxu Building, with an ice basin on the side. The breeze passing through the building brings a slight coolness, which is very comfortable.

"Your place is really nice." Shen Meizhuang sat down and looked at the scenery in the distance, and sighed sincerely.

"I like it here, too. Occasionally, I can climb up high and look far to see the overall situation." An Lingrong spoke, and Juqing served her a cup of sour plum soup.

"Lingrong, do you have something to say?" Shen Meizhuang was smart. After hearing the second half of the sentence, she knew that An Lingrong invited her to enjoy the scenery because she had something else to say.

"Sister, that prescription cannot be used." An Lingrong looked at Shen Meizhuang with shining eyes.

"What's wrong with the prescription? Is there anything wrong with it?" Shen Meizhuang began to feel uneasy when she saw An Lingrong speaking so confidently.
