"My servant, Zhao Xi, is a member of the Longevity Palace. I accidentally bumped into the young master just now, so I came here to apologize to you." Zhao Xi bent down and said.

After hearing his name, the concubine realized it. She glanced at the upright but unfamiliar face of the other party, and finally looked up and down at his figure. It really matched the person she had met once in memory.

She smiled, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she asked interestingly, "Oh? Is your surname Zhao too?"

"Exactly."

The maids around the concubine didn't dare to say anything, seeing that the concubine was not very angry, she lamented that the maid was lucky.

Xiaoyue, the maid who took care of Zhao Duanyang, lowered her head and shrank her shoulders.The concubine is willing to talk to Zhao Xi, she is afraid that Zhao Xi will tell about the fact that she was not around when she bumped into the young master.Although it happened for a reason, it was also her dereliction of duty.

Zhao Xi didn't want to file a complaint, but just found an excuse to talk to Wang Hao.

"I think you are very pleasing to the eye, and I feel destined at a glance," the princess said, pointing to the seat next to her: "Are you busy with errands, if you have time, sit and talk with me."

"To be favored by the concubine is a slave and servant." Zhao Xi sat on the only stool left on one side obediently, with his eyelashes drooping obediently, and his hands on his knees.

The princess was in a good mood, and asked him casually: "Why haven't I seen you in the Longevity Palace, you're new here?"

"Back to the princess, the slaves are specially selected to serve Princess Minglan, and they usually stay in the side courtyard."

Those who served Minglan were carefully selected by the Empress Dowager, trustworthy palace servants.But obviously Zhao Xi's 'selection' did not refer to this item, but that he was sent in by the Huaiyang Palace.

The concubine also understood, as she casually held the white jade flower she had worn on the tip of her nose and sniffed it lightly, she said, "So that's how it is. Is Minglan feeling refreshed these two days? It's not often she shows up."

Zhao Xi smiled: "The princess has a very good appetite these days, and Princess Lao is worried."

"Hehehe, you must take good care of her. I heard that the day of delivery is coming soon, right?" said the princess, "The princess is still young and has little experience. I don't know if you leave home, but are you still used to it?"

Zhao Xi answered honestly, "The princess may not know something, the princess grew up beside the queen mother, and the palace is like a home, but the servants will pick her up when she enters the palace, Madam Ji is quite reluctant. Woolen cloth."

"Really?" Wangfei looked at Zhao Xi with beautiful eyes, "It should be rare for you to come to the palace."

The topic changed quickly, and everyone present only thought they were chatting.The maids all knew that the concubine was gentle and treated her servants very well, so there was no surprise.

"It's very lively outside, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and the people on the street are busy making lanterns and moon cakes!" Zhao Xi showed a longing expression, as if he really was a servant who had lived in the deep palace for a long time. "It will be a festival in a few days. At that time, the princess can go and see the grand scene in person."

The princess pursed her lips and smiled, and put the wreath in her hand on Zhao Chaoyang's chubby wrist.

The purple-clothed maid beside the princess has been listening to their conversation unsmilingly, and has been silent like a shadow.At this time, I heard the words and said: "Your mouth is sharp, but there is more than half a month before the Mid-Autumn Festival, how can you prepare so early in advance? If you want to be cute in front of the master, you have to be careful!"

Zhao Xi curled his lips, looking at the princess a little aggrieved.

Although his face has changed a little, not as young and beautiful as before, but his facial features can vaguely see that appearance, and his face is also very upright.When looking at people with round eyes, it has the advantage of making people feel happy.When he showed a little light and looked over with aggrieved eyes, it was easy to make people feel pity.

When the princess saw that her son-in-law was being bullied by outsiders, she said dissatisfiedly to the maid: "You grew up in the palace, you have never been out of the palace gate, and you have never seen the outside world, so how can you talk about it. The folk customs in Huaiyang were like this, presumably the same everywhere, not the same as in the palace."

The purple-clothed maid didn't dare to talk back to her master, so she obediently responded and continued to remain silent as a shadow.

Zhao Xi said on the side: "That's it, that's it!" Then he bent his eyes at the princess and acted coquettishly.

The concubine regarded herself as an elder, and she felt cute when she saw him, so she smiled helplessly and held her forehead.

"You are not very old, do you have parents and brothers at home?"

"Back to the princess, the parents of the maidservant's family are still alive, and the brother's siblings are all fine." Zhao Xi alluded to Zhao Xueyang's family.

The princess nodded, and didn't take the initiative to ask any more questions. She seemed to be tired, and closed her eyes with her hands resting on her forehead.

Zhao Xi knew that all the news that should be conveyed had been conveyed, and it was time to leave.I was wondering if it would be too abrupt to get up and say goodbye, so I sat in the distance and hesitated.

At this moment, the two children started crying again for some reason, and they were used to serving them, so they called the princess if they couldn't be coaxed.

Zhao Xi looked over and saw that the two children looked the same, they were fighting, they were kicked and kicked after being hugged by two maids.

Children's moodiness, Zhao Xi thought to himself; the boat of friendship capsizes at every turn.

On the face, he bowed to the princess who was about to get up: "It's getting late, and the servants will not bother the princess and the two young masters."

"Well, you can go back." The princess got up in a hurry, and caught the child who was carried by the maid.

Zhao Xi turned around and left, heading towards the side courtyard.

The people around the purple-clothed maid who sat on the side were coaxing the child, while he sat on the side, looking at the direction Zhao Xi left with far-reaching eyes.

Not long after Zhao Xi went back, the Queen Mother came. She came to accompany Ji Qinghuan every day, and the servants in the yard were used to it.

The sun was shining outside, and there was a water pavilion behind the rockery in the yard. The water flow could block part of the heat. There was a soft bed in the center of the water pavilion. Ji Qinghuan sat on it, and the queen mother took her hand and talked warmly to relieve boredom.

"Qing'er, when you give birth to your child and feel refreshed, accompany your aunt to the Wanzhen Nunnery outside the palace to recuperate for a period of time. There are beautiful mountains and rivers there, and it is a good place to cultivate your body and mind." The queen mother is not wearing fancy clothes, but rather Light palace attire, like an ordinary mother, said softly with eyebrows and eyes.

Ji Qinghuan nodded, she naturally knew where it was. The Empress Dowager believed in Buddhism and often went to various temples to pray for blessings.During the hottest time of the year, I would go to Wanzhen Nunnery in Yuliang Mountain outside the city to stay for a while.The mountains are relatively cool, and the Queen Mother stayed for more than a month, eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha, which is a hobby that has been persisting for so many years.It's just that Ji Qinghuan needs to be taken care of here this year, so she can't leave and wants to invite her to the nunnery together.

"Okay, auntie, wait a little longer." Ji Qing said with a smile, rubbing his chubby belly.

The Empress Dowager's hand, which was painted red Kodan, also gently stroked her belly, she nodded slightly, her drooping eyelashes covered the complex emotions inside, and also covered the uneasiness and matching in her eyes.The voice is still gentle as usual: "This kid is enough to torment people. You have been eating and drinking since you were pregnant. You look big. You will have to suffer a lot when you give birth."

"Both left and right have to pass this level, Qing'er is not afraid." She smiled and said flatly.

"Qing'er, you are a good boy, the Ji family owes you..."

Ji Qing smiled happily, looking at the color of the sun reflected on the sparkling water surface, dazzling like a mirror.

The Queen Mother didn't say anything when she saw this, she sat quietly by the side, looking at the water surface and shaking her head slightly.

Summer is coming to an end, and autumn tigers are raging on the ground, which is a bit hotter than the previous few days.

Ji Qinghuan's stomach is still stable, as if a water bag full of water is falling, and it looks like it may be unloaded at any time, but there is no movement.

The month is getting bigger, the belly is still growing, and the child is getting bigger.Everyone was watching the child nervously, and many people became more and more anxious, and couldn't wait to see the child's birth.Even the calm Zhao Xi couldn't wait.

Once again discovering the traces of someone artificially sticking drugs on Ji Qinghuan's close-fitting clothes, Zhao Xi called Ziluo angrily.Zi Luo understood after seeing one thing, and called a group of people to start interrogating her.

He felt irritated listening to the people talking in the yard over there, and he felt smoke coming from his throat when he exhaled at this time, and he was extremely afraid of heat.

I don't know if it's the irritability of burning heart or what, Zhao Xi also felt a different kind of boredom in his heart, feeling a little uneasy.

In the main room, Ji Qinghuan was taking a nap, the door was closed tightly, and there was a maid waiting inside.He was squatting under the eaves, watching Ziluo admonishing his servants not far away, and felt uncomfortable.After a while, I got up and patted the non-existent dust on the clothes, then turned and ran to the side room.

He didn't want to be exposed to the sun at this time, and Zhao Xi sweated a lot after walking two steps.He pushed open the door of the side room, and inside was a middle-aged man in an indigo doctor's robe fanning a fan while reading a book. There was a mat on the floor, and he was sitting barefoot on it.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the imperial doctor subconsciously crossed his legs and covered his feet.Gein is mostly a maid here, and men and women are different.

Seeing Zhao Xi, he relaxed and said with a smile: "Master Zhao, what's the matter, what's the princess?"

Because Ji Qinghuan's delivery time was getting closer and closer, all kinds of things stained with medicinal fragrance appeared in various parts of the palace, and greasy floor tiles also appeared from time to time, the queen mother was extra vigilant.In addition to strictly checking the hidden dangers around him, he also specially invited the imperial doctor to live in the side hall, in case of need at any time.

"No, the Princess is taking a nap." Zhao Xi said, "Is Doctor An okay?"

Sweating while sitting, Dr. An put down his medical books and sat up on his knees. He poured a glass of water at the table and drank it. He shook his head and said, "It's nothing. It's too hot today. No matter how much water you drink, you'll sweat."

Zhao Xi nodded, the doors and windows of the house were not open, it was really boring. "Why don't you open the window?"

Doctor An wryly smiled and said, "Isn't it the same whether it's open or not? The sun is so big, it's better for An to be darker and cooler."

Zhao Xi nodded helplessly, expressing his understanding.

Doctor An poured him a glass of water, looked outside, and made a clear wink: "An accident happened again?"

Zhao Xi nodded wearily: "As you can see."

Imperial doctor An gulped down a few glasses of water and sighed: "It's really hard for the princess to give birth. In just a few days, three people have been killed with a cane. It's really..."

In the past few days, there are a lot of people who can't be caught, and there is no time to find out who is behind the scenes, because just dealing with this endless stream of killer moves is exhausting.

This is especially true for Zhao Xi.

At this moment, his throat was a little dry, and he was about to drink after taking his cup, but he saw Doctor An's expression suddenly changed: "Uh——"

Zhao Xi was taken aback, "What's the matter with you, Doctor An?"

Doctor An's expression changed, and he hurriedly put the cup on the table, clutching his stomach and said in a trembling voice, "No, my stomach hurts..."

Zhao Xi's face turned pale, didn't he? !

Within a few seconds, he clutched his stomach with a very ugly face, and rushed out of the room before he even had time to put on his shoes.

The door was wide open, shining bright light, Zhao Xi stared at the half glass of water on the table and remained silent for two seconds, his face somber that he could drip water.

This time it was under his nose.

There were a bunch of people standing in the yard just now, and An Yuyi rushed out in a panic, which aroused the curiosity of many people.In a blink of an eye, I saw the manager come out of the room with a bad expression on his face.

Zi Luo stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with An Yuyi?"

"Physician An has been drugged, so please send someone to guard the door of the princess's room, and no one is allowed to enter. I will go to the imperial medical office to ask for the imperial doctor." Zhao Xi arranged in a deep voice.

Ziluo shook her head, her nerves had been tense to the extreme during this time, and she was about to lose her sensitivity.

"It's enough to send someone there. The person who prescribes the medicine has only one move. We can't panic first and expose more loopholes so that people can take advantage of it. I can't handle it alone if you leave."

Zhao Xi thought for a while, then nodded, and personally picked two smart girls to order.

Seeing them all go, the uneasiness deep in Zhao Xi's heart became more intense.
