I was a salted fish in ancient times

Liu Jingyi originally came to see the person sent by Mrs. An with her virtuous reputation, but after meeting the person, she became interested.Just because this person brought a word, she said that Mrs. An has a secret recipe for having children.If the Crown Princess is interested, Mrs. An will go to Hui An Tai Temple to burn incense three days later.

After hearing this, Liu Jingyi said in a low voice: "If my aunt has the heart, she can just send Fangzi here. If people know about this, they will think we are plotting something."

The visitor said with a smile: "After all, it is a secret recipe, and it is related to the health of the Crown Princess. The old lady dare not send things into the East Palace casually."

Liu Jingyi didn't speak any more, but asked someone to see off the guests.

When the person came and left, he said again: "The old lady said that if the Crown Princess really goes, she will give you a big gift."

Looking at the situation, Liu Jingyi also understood that the person who came here was not a person who was a messenger, and he was not filial, this person must be Mrs. An's confidant.But she was a little curious about what Mrs. An wanted to do when she saw her in such a thousand turns.

Of course, the most important point is that she is very interested in the secret recipe for childbirth that Mrs. An said.

Of course Liu Jingyi could go directly to Antai Temple three days later, but she still washed and dressed up that night, carried Xiao Xuedun to the nanny, and then sent someone to invite Xiao Jin to come.

Under the lights, Liu Jingyi smiled softly and said that she wanted to go to Antai Temple to ask for Xiao Xuedun's safety.

Xiao Jin knew her knot in her heart, and said: "That's fine, let's take it as a relaxation."

Liu Jingyi responded softly, and the two ate their dinner quietly.

According to the past, Xiao Jin would definitely stay here with the Crown Princess, but too many things have happened these days, he is really not in the mood.Whether it is the crown princess or other side concubines, he just wants to be alone.

Moreover, recently he has ordered people to investigate the family situation of Liu Jingyi's palace servants and Xu Liangdi's palace servants.He has a feeling that when he finds out the internal and external relationships of these people, the truth about Liu Jingyi's premature birth will be revealed.

So during this time, he will not get too close to these people in the backyard, including Liu Jingyi and Xu Liangdi.He also wanted to take this opportunity to clean up the backyard of his East Palace thoroughly.

So Xiao Jin looked at Liu Jingyi and said: "Xiao Xuedun can't leave you now, take good care of her, I'll go to the study to read the papers."

Liu Jingyi was slightly taken aback, her face turned pale, and her fingers were clasped firmly in her palms under the wide and soft sleeves.The pain made her maintain the calmness on her face, she said: "It's getting colder and colder, and the dew is heavy at night, the prince pays attention to his body."

Xiao Jin looked at her and nodded, wondering if she was the crown princess, or to give her some face.So he said again: "Tomorrow Gu will finish his work at hand, and then I will have dinner with you and Xiao Xuedun."

Liu Jingyi felt happy, she smiled slightly and said, "Okay."

With her identity here, even during a special period, she is different from others.

After Xiao Jin left, Liu Jingyi sat there quietly.

The maid who served her personally came forward to cut off the wick, and the lights in the room suddenly brightened up.

Liu Jingyi said: "Bring Xuedun back from the nanny."

The palace maid responded and left quietly.

Liu Jingyi was still a bit resistant to meeting Mrs. An at first, but now she wanted to meet this old lady and see what cards she had that could impress her.

The day Liu Jingyi went to Antai Temple was very gloomy.

Not long after she came out of the Eastern Palace, it began to snow in the sky.The snowflakes are very big, and it looks like it will take a long time to fall.

The palace servants comforted Liu Jingyi and said, it's too cold, why don't you go back first, and go after two days.

Liu Jingyi thought for a while and said: "They say they are praying for the children, so don't they say they don't have the intention to go back now? Let's go." Besides, if she went today, if Mrs. An dared not go, then Mrs. An would not have to In front of her, she regarded herself as an elder.

The palace people couldn't persuade her, and didn't dare to talk too much, so they went with Liu Jingyi.

Snow days are also good, and there are far fewer people in the temple than in the past.

The Crown Princess went, the palace staff had sent people to Antai Temple to report, and the abbot had brought people to wait for the nobleman at the gate of the temple.

When Liu Jingyi worshiped the Buddha and offered incense, she was sincere. The temple in the main hall was very large and empty, and the cold wind blew past her.Her eyes were closed, her spine straight and motionless.

Seeing this scene, the supporter murmured a few words about Amitabha in a low voice.

Liu Jingyi worshiped the Buddha, the host personally put the incense she lit in the incense burner, chanted a few more words, and then left, Liu Jingyi went to the wing where the pilgrims could live to warm up for a while.

She waited in the wing room for a while, and Mrs. An came to see her.

Mrs. An didn't bring anyone else with her when she came here this time except for a woman.

Liu Jingyi also asked all the palace people to leave the wing room, leaving only herself and Mrs. An inside.

Mrs. An's life may not be very good these days, and she is very haggard.

The eyes are piercing and bright.

Liu Jingyi looked at her with a half-smile and said, "Grandmother has something to say."

Mrs. An didn't beat around the bush when she heard this, she said bluntly: "The old lady knows why the Crown Princess came here, but the secret recipe for having a child is empty talk, and I hope the Crown Princess will forgive me."

Liu Jingyi's expression changed, she was a little gloomy, she said angrily: "How dare you lie to me?"

Mrs. An said with a vicissitudes on her face: "The old woman did lie to the Crown Princess about this matter, but the old woman does have something important to say to the Crown Princess."

Liu Jingyi sneered twice: "In the eyes of my aunt, can I be humiliated wantonly? Keep what my aunt wants to say in your heart and say it to yourself slowly."

After she said this, she got up and left with her sleeves. Mrs. An stopped her. At this time, she was acting smart, and she didn't look like an old woman at all.When Liu Jingyi raised her eyebrows, she lowered her voice and said quickly: "Prince Princess forgive me, what the old woman said is of great importance, I hope Crown Princess will listen carefully, Empress Lan and King Li have two hearts."

"What?" Liu Jingyi looked surprised.

Mrs. An closed her eyes, tears rolled down, she said: "The old lady has solid evidence, but because of her filial piety, she cannot enter the palace to meet the queen to tell the truth, so she thought of this method to meet the prince. concubine."

Liu Jingyi's heart shook, she said sharply: "Grandmother can eat and talk nonsense, if you dare to speak nonsense today, I will be the first to forgive you."

Old Mrs. An cried: "How dare the old woman grab and bite Concubine Lan and King Li, but this matter has been kept in the old woman's heart. If she doesn't say it, she will really feel sorry for the queen and the prince, let alone my father."

***

Liu Jingyi returned to the East Palace from Antai Temple. She looked at Xiao Jin's tired look that night, and she said everything.

The next day, she went to the palace to meet the queen, and told the queen what Mrs. An had said.

"What did you say?" The Empress had a knot with Concubine Lan since what happened last time, she didn't believe Liu Jingyi's words immediately, but she also became suspicious in her heart.

Liu Jingyi said with a look of disbelief: "My daughter-in-law couldn't believe it at first, but later Mrs. An said that Concubine Lan really has two hearts for her mother." Then she said what Mrs. An said, and Mrs. Gu Gu Xian was taken Lan Fei's father, Gu Yan, was furious.

The reason was that Gu Yan was drunk and ran to Gu Xian's place to make a fool of himself. He felt that Gu Xian was too partial to the eldest son, and that he also had a daughter who was a concubine and a prince who was a grandson.

But he didn't have anything, he was completely suppressed by the long room, and he was dissatisfied.

Old Master Gu was furious when he heard these words.

The queen stood up abruptly after hearing this, she said: "How is it possible."

Liu Jingyi said: "The matter is too surprising, and the daughter-in-law is not sure. But according to the aunt, Lan Niangniang also knows about it. That time, Lan Niangniang suddenly visited her relatives due to illness, and it was the second room of the Gu family who wanted to discuss with Lan Niangniang. This matter."

"My aunt said that Empress Lan and King Li supported the crown prince on the surface, but they were not convinced in private. It's just that the queen mother and the crown prince are valued by the father, and the grandfather is more valued by the father in court. King Li had no choice but to soften his attitude and paralyze the queen mother and the prince."

"My daughter-in-law can't believe my aunt's words, but she doesn't dare to hide the truth from her mother, and she still wants her to investigate the matter." Liu Jingyi looked at the queen's face and said sadly: "The crown prince values ​​the king Li, so it's better to explain clearly as soon as possible if there is a misunderstanding. , what my daughter-in-law is afraid of is..."

She didn't say what she said later, but she expressed her worry clearly.

The queen said: "I will investigate this matter."

If Concubine Lan really concealed it from her, then she really underestimated Concubine Lan and Xiao Shan.

Liu Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief, she hesitated for a while and said: "My queen, my daughter-in-law has an unfeeling request, and I hope my mother will agree."

The queen raised her somewhat cold eyes to look at her and said lightly: "Say."

Liu Jingyi had a sad look on her face, and she said in a crying voice: "The prince has never liked to hear his daughter-in-law say that Lan Niangniang and Li Wang have different ideas, and last time he almost ignored his daughter-in-law because of it. In case this is a misunderstanding, if the prince Knowing that it was the daughter-in-law who spoke in front of the mother-in-law, the relationship between the daughter-in-law and the prince is probably gone. I also hope that the mother-in-law can hide something for the daughter-in-law."

Queen: "I thought it was something, don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you. You just need to be optimistic about the prince, everything is up to me."

Liu Jingyi's face was full of joy, she said: "Thank you, Queen Mother."

The queen patted her hand and said good boy.

When Liu Jingyi came out from the Queen's Palace, it was still early.

She was sitting in the sedan chair, she didn't think about whether Lan Fei and Xiao Shan really had a different heart.She brought these words, how to verify them is the Queen's business, she just needs to wait for the result.

Now what she was thinking about was something else Mrs. An said. Before leaving, Mrs. An said that although she didn't have a secret formula for giving birth, she could make fragrances and she had a way to make Xiao Jin stay in her room more.

As long as people are kept, there will be a child sooner or later.

"If the princess needs it, send someone to tell the old woman after the year that the princess needs to take good care of her body during this period."

Liu Jingyi thought to herself, she once heard in her storybook that someone who often burns incense on his body will have a pleasant fragrance on his body.Could it be that Madam An has such means?

***

Because it was already the twelfth lunar month, the emperor's Longevity Day was on the first day of the new year. Although the emperor had already said that there was no need to hold it, the first day of the new year was the beginning of the year. Even if there was no Wanshou Day, it was still a day to celebrate.

So although the queen got the news from Liu Jingyi, she restrained herself and did not summon Concubine Lan to the palace to make a big fuss like last time.

If what happened this time is true, then she will definitely throw all the evidence on Xiao Jin's face and let him see the true nature of Concubine Lan and Xiao Shan with his own eyes.

Everything will be discussed after the Emperor's Longevity Festival.

Xiao Shan has been recovering from his injuries since he came back from the Rining hunting ground.

He did not go to court, let alone the Ministry of Punishment, even after his wounds healed.

Seeing that it was about to be sealed, the emperor hinted to him that it was time for him to stroll around the court hall.

Xiao Shan received a hint, thinking that the scars on his heart had grown solid, and it would not look good if he didn't go to court, so he went to court the day before he was stuck with the seal.

The seal means that the whole country has to start preparing for the new year. Everyone wants to have a safe and healthy year. At this time, the wrong officials don't want to continue to quarrel.

You can save your strength to continue next year.

The emperor's ears were rarely idle, and he quickly withdrew.

After retreating from the imperial court, Xiao Shan wandered towards the Ministry of Punishment again.

Seeing him raise his eyebrows, Xiao Rong said: "Isn't the third brother injured? Why didn't you go back to rest?"

To be honest, he hadn't seen Xiao Shan these days, and he was really not used to it at first. He always felt that there were two eyes staring at him in the dark, which made him raise his head and look at the door from time to time for a long time, because he was afraid of Xiao Shan. Suddenly jumped in from the door.

However, people's ability to adapt is very strong. It didn't take long for him to get used to the days when Xiao Shan was not around.

It was so comfortable and so easy.

Because Xiao Shan and he sued the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice in front of the emperor, the six ministries didn't like him very much, especially the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but they kept the most basic etiquette.

Xiao Rong was pushed around by Xiao Shan for a while, and sadly found that his requirements had been lowered, and he actually thought it was not bad.

Just when he and the officials of the Ministry of Punishment felt that they were getting along well, the nightmare came true, and Xiao Shanzhen jumped in from the door.

At that moment, Xiao Rong had a thought in his mind, why didn't Xiao Shan continue to rest at home, he really wanted to stab him.

Xiao Shan hadn't seen Xiao Rong for a long time, and he couldn't tell whether he was caring about himself or mocking him, so he said, "I'm not afraid that if I don't come for a long time, the big brother and the adults of the Criminal Department will forget me. After all, after the year, We're still going to be together."

The other officials of the Ministry of Punishment laughed dryly and moved away from the two as quickly as possible.

Seeing Xiao Shan's stern appearance, Xiao Rong's mood suddenly turned bad, and he always felt that this year would not be able to survive.

When he saw Xiao Shan, his stomach hurt and he couldn't eat.
